145: Chapter 145 Living Towards Death, Illuminating the Nine Heavens

The damaged boundary wall was completely restored.

The Eternal Foreign Realm suffered even more heavy losses.

Within the Heavenly Abyss, the figures of the foreign races were extremely rare.

The Imperial City also welcomed a brief period of tranquility... Five years passed in a flash.

Yun Xi had been guarding the side of the giant purple cocoon, never leaving.

As the Red Dust Silk stirred, she could feel Qin Tian's vitality growing stronger day by day.

Inside the cocoon.

Qin Tian felt something in his heart.

Since the third year, he had been able to clearly perceive the situation in the outside world.

He knew.

Yun Xi had been there day and night, never leaving... "Revered Master, your Disciple will be able to come out soon..."

Looking at the beautiful figure standing quietly by the cocoon, Qin Tian's heart softened.

The charming dream in the Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan.

Qin Tian had long understood what was in his heart.

He took a deep breath.

"System, tell me, how about I make things clear with Revered Master once I'm out?"

[What does the Host want to say?]

"Forget it, I can't explain it clearly to you anyway."

[???]

"But, what if I'm rejected by Revered Master? Wouldn't that be very awkward?"

[Host, you can't be a coward when things happen!]

[Just do it!]

"You're right!"

"Let's do it!"

"Only a sliver remains before I can break out of the cocoon."

"Everything is in Perfection; the day I emerge will be the moment of Reflection!"

Qin Tian felt a bit dazed.

His cultivation speed was truly terrifyingly fast.

In just a few short years, he had gone from a lowly Cultivator who hadn't even reached Dao Entry Realm to a Reflection expert capable of founding a sect.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, he really wouldn't have dared to believe it!

"Revered Master said that the final step is the most critical; I cannot slack off."

Inside Qin Tian's body, the Heaven and Earth Nirvana Sutra operated to its limit.

Living by facing death—this perfectly fit the meaning of Nirvana!

...A few days later.

Above the Imperial City, a golden light shot into the sky, reflecting across the entire firmament.

From the Ancient Ancestors down to the children.

Everyone was startled.

Countless Divine Thoughts surged toward the same place.

The place where the giant purple cocoon was located.

The purple barrier finally dissipated, and the giant cocoon cracked open bit by bit.

Bai Xiyin, holding a seven-colored dao seed, slowly rose into the air.

She slowly opened her hands, and the seven-colored dao seed drifted toward the sky.

"Tian'er...!"

Yun Xi gazed at the sky, a smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.

She reached out and took Bai Xiyin into her arms.

"Revered Master... Senior Brother is fine now..." Bai Xiyin said weakly.

Yun Xi smiled gently, "Diminutive, you did very well."

"In the future, you must also take good care of your Senior Brother."

Bai Xiyin was startled.

She faintly felt that something was wrong with Revered Master, but before she could think about it, a wave of fatigue surged over her.

Bai Xiyin fell into a deep sleep.

In the sky.

The dao seed emitted a seven-colored immortal light.

Heaven and Earth spiritual energy surged in frantically.

Qin Tian's body also slowly condensed into shape.

Immediately following.

An incredibly powerful Reflection Aura erupted with a bang.

Terrifying tribulation clouds rushed in rapidly from all directions!

"Xiao Tian is about to have a Breakthrough!"

Qin Yu's expression was somewhat excited as she looked at Xue Wener beside her.

However, she found that Xue Wener's body was trembling at this moment, her eyes filled with tears.

What her eyes were looking at was not Qin Tian.

But rather, Yun Xi... Qin Yu was filled with confusion. Her Divine Thought swept over Yun Xi, and then she suddenly froze in place... Yun Xi's Aura was weakening rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye. Her vitality was constantly disappearing, heading to parts unknown... "Yun..."

Qin Yu was about to speak, but she was stopped by Xue Wener.

Yun Xi gazed at the sky for a long time, then slowly turned and came before Xue Wener, handing Bai Xiyin over to her.

"Take care of her."

Xue Wener could no longer hold it back, and tears streamed down her face.

"Okay..."

"Don't tell Tian'er. Let everything slowly dissipate with time..."

Xue Wener closed her eyes and finally nodded.

Qin Yu's body trembled.

"You... what exactly happened to you...?"

Yun Xi smiled, "It's nothing, my time has just come."

Snow Princess quietly came to Yun Xi's side without saying a word.

Qin Longevity silently examined Yun Xi and let out a heavy sigh.

They, too, were completely helpless...

Li Fanqing examined Yun Xi for a long, long time, and finally turned his back, unable to bear looking any longer.

"Revered Master, your Disciple is unfilial. I ask for your forgiveness." Yun Xi bowed deeply to Li Fanqing.

Li Fanqing slowly closed his eyes, a single tear of sorrow falling.

"Your decision—as your teacher, I will not interfere... Our bond as Revered Master and Disciple will be continued in the next life..."

Qin Yu stood in a daze, her voice trembling: "Your missing life source... could it be in..."

"Don't tell Tian'er."

Yun Xi's voice was very soft, and with Snow Princess's concealment, no one but the few people beside her could hear.

Hua Jianjia wanted to step forward but was stopped by Snow Princess.

Yun Xi understood that if Hua Jianjia knew, then it could no longer be kept secret... "It's time for me to leave..."

"I ask for Senior's assistance..."

The beautiful figure raised her head, looking at the figure in mid-air, her lips slightly pursed.

Tian'er, Revered Master is leaving... If we are fated in the next life, we shall meet again... Snow Princess waved her hand, taking Yun Xi away, and in an instant, they arrived outside the Imperial City.

The living beings of the Imperial City noticed nothing... "Where to?" Snow Princess said softly.

"Senior, I have already chosen a place. I can go there alone," Yun Xi spoke plainly.

Snow Princess paused.

"If he finds out and his Dao Heart collapses, what then?"

Yun Xi smiled, "Tian'er now carries the future of the Ancient Immortals on his shoulders. I believe in him; he won't lose his sanity for my sake."

Snow Princess let out a heavy sigh.

"Fine, as you wish. This Venerable is too lazy to care!"

As her voice fell, Snow Princess's figure vanished.

Yun Xi took one last look at the Imperial City, murmuring:

"Tian'er, see you in the next life..."

...Above the Imperial City.

Qin Tian was completely unaware of all this.

The Heavenly Tribulation descended upon him.

This time, it was even more terrifying than the Return to Ruins Tribulation!

However.

The Qin Tian of today was no longer what he used to be.

He raised his eyes to the sky, and the Nirvana patterns manifested behind him.

One after another, bolts of lightning struck Qin Tian's body.

At the same time, they were each neutralized by the Nirvana Sutra's runes.

He was already living by facing death.

What could mere lightning do to Qin Tian?

Everyone was filled with wonder and amazement.

"To be fearless of the Heavenly Tribulation's lightning, this is truly..."

But suddenly.

Everyone recalled the scene five years ago when Qin Tian alone repelled the foreign Realm and killed the Eternal King... At this moment, it seemed somewhat expected... Kun Mo's head was still hanging high above the Imperial City!

Before long.

The Lightning Tribulation dissipated completely.

A layer of Heavenly Palaces appeared between heaven and earth.

The Reflection Aura erupted with a bang!

Qin Tian had broken through!

His Aura surged, shocking the Imperial City!

First Heaven... Second Heaven... Third Heaven... one layer of Heavenly Palaces after another manifested.

Until the Nine Heavens Palaces stood proudly in the firmament!

There was dead silence.

The people of the Imperial City stared dumbfounded at the sky.

"Breaking through straight into the Ninth Heaven..."

"From ancient times to the present, this has never happened..."

"An unparalleled Genius is nothing more than this...!"

In the ancestral lands of various clans, Emperors looked at the sky and sighed.

They were all geniuses among geniuses.

But compared to Qin Tian, it was like comparing a firefly to the bright moon... simply not worth mentioning...

In the air.

The Nine Heavens Realm reflected upon Qin Tian's body.

An incredibly powerful Aura burst forth from within his body.

This was no ordinary Reflection Realm.

He had reached the limit of Reflection just as he broke through... no, this was only the limit of Reflection, not the limit of Qin Tian.

Qin Tian slowly opened his eyes.

A look of joy appeared on his face.

"Finally, I have reached the Realm where Revered Master is..."

His Divine Thought swept out.

Qin Tian wanted to find that familiar figure.

However.

The next moment.

Qin Tian froze in place, a wave of inexplicable panic in his heart.

Yun Xi

was not among the crowd...
