: Perfect Ending!

"Um?"

"Master!"

A cool breeze blew across the mountaintop, bringing a touch of coolness.

Yu Nian gradually regained control of his body and slowly woke up. He rubbed his temples and was shocked to find that he was still on the mountain peak before he fell asleep.

Meanwhile, his master sat there quietly, refining the elixir.

This scene shocked him immensely.

and also!

My memories from before I fell into a deep sleep have not disappeared.

Yu Nian shed two rare tears, crying tears of joy.

He broke the "curse"!

With a thud, Yu Nian knelt down behind Luo Chen, bowing respectfully and with utmost piety.

Get up.

"I told you, no matter where you are, I will find you."

"But after thinking about it carefully, instead of traveling thousands of miles to find you, it would be more convenient to just have you appear in front of me directly."

Luo Chen spoke with a smile, but his eyes never left the Hunyuan Pill Furnace.

Yu Nian knew that her master was teasing her, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Master, have you been waiting for me on this mountaintop for hundreds of years?"

"About three hundred years. The main reason is that I just needed a quiet place to refine pills, and this place is just right."

"Master, am I allowed to cultivate now?"

"Not yet. You are actually very strong, but you just don't know how to use your power yet."

"Then how am I supposed to control this power?"

"That depends on your own understanding."

The Primordial Flame crackled and popped, refining all sorts of rare and precious treasures of heaven and earth.

The sounds of the master and apprentice talking could be heard continuously.

Time continued to move forward, and another three hundred years passed.

At the summit, the Primordial Elixir Furnace shattered with a crash, and a perfectly round golden elixir landed in the palm of the hand.

He waved his hand to erase the elixir-forming tribulation, carefully preserving the last golden elixir that needed to be refined.

Luo Chen stood up, a smile in his eyes.

Including the first Golden Core refined in the Chaos Ancestral Ruins last time.

It took a total of seven hundred years to finally complete the refining of all the golden pills.

Yu Nian stood up, with Su Qingchen following behind her.

Upon seeing Luo Chen again, Su Qingchen's beautiful face lit up with a bright smile, and she bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, you have emerged from seclusion."

Her true form had long since returned to the celestial realm.

However, because he was determined to reform the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, Su Qingchen specially left behind an avatar to personally oversee the reforms in the Great Thousand Worlds.

Luo Chen turned around, nodded slightly to Su Qingchen, and said, "I'm preparing to return to the Yuanling Great Thousand World."

Su Qingchen was startled, but she couldn't dissuade her. Fortunately, with her strength, it would be easy for her to go to the Yuanling Great Thousand World to see Luo Chen.

Before leaving, Luo Chen gifted Su Qingchen a golden pill.

"This golden pill can create a Primordial Dao Realm expert who is 100% loyal to you, but the person who consumes it will be forever unable to break through to the next realm. Use it with caution."

Su Qingchen looked at the spot where Luo Chen and the other person had disappeared, reached out and sealed the golden core, stood quietly in place for a long time, and then disappeared and left.

……

The Primordial Spirit Great Thousand World.

Inside the Samsara Dojo, Luo Chen suddenly appeared on Panshan Mountain with Yu Nian.

Looking at the place I haven't returned to for thousands of years, I still feel a bit of longing in my heart.

This was the farthest he had ever been from home, and also the longest he had ever been away.

This was something Luo Chen did on purpose.

Many people around them, including the disciples who were gaining experience in the outside world, knew in their hearts that their master was watching over them, so they didn't feel much urgency.

He had always lived under Luo Chen's protection.

This time, he had made up his mind to stay away from the Yuanling Great Thousand World, leave their side, and no longer pay too much attention to them.

The Samsara Dojo has become somewhat desolate in recent millennia due to Luo Chen's departure.

The Hall of Reincarnation no longer accepts disciples, and the medicinal herb fields are now filled with large herbs that take hundreds or even thousands of years to mature, because Luo Chen no longer needs to personally harvest herbs every ten years.

Even Liu Yuanyao and Feng Qing left the dojo together to seek opportunities in the Great World.

Facts have proven that one cannot comprehend the ultimate truth by simply shutting oneself away in seclusion and practicing asceticism.

At least his close friends and family couldn't do that.

What they need is experience to accelerate their growth.

Although Luo Chen possessed "golden pills," these were not pills prepared for his closest relatives.

Although the Golden Elixir is miraculous, its drawbacks are too obvious. The path of cultivation for the person who consumes it will be completely occupied by the path contained within the Golden Elixir, leaving no possibility for further personal advancement.

"Master, is this your temple?"

Meanwhile, Yu Nian walked curiously up the mountain, her heart filled with anticipation for what lay ahead.

"That's good, but it's been thousands of years since I've returned, so it's a bit lonely. It'll be fine after a while."

Luo Chen chuckled and sat down in his familiar spot under the peach tree. He brewed himself a cup of top-grade immortal tea, which he had obtained from the Taiyi Immortal Palace. A mortal who drank a sip of this tea would likely undergo a transformation into an innate spiritual body and have their aptitude cleansed.

Then, Luo Chen introduced everything in the Samsara Dojo to Yu Nian.

While releasing his divine sense to cover the vast world of primordial spirits, he observed the movements of those old friends.

……

The region to which the Great Primordial Heaven and Earth belonged.

Over the millennia, turmoil has continued, and the root cause of this turmoil is no longer external forces, but an empress!

Empress, Gu Lingxi!

The former Dragon Court's Rebirth Sovereign was reborn three thousand years after the collapse of the Dragon Court, and used swift and decisive means to settle accounts with those powerful figures who had divided the Dragon Court's legacy back then.

Faced with such powerful remnants of the Dragon Court, the Holy Dynasty did not suppress them, but instead secretly helped them.

The world is vast, and the Holy Dynasty and the Dragon Court no longer fight to the death over a little bit of the world's fortune. On the contrary, their relationship is quite good.

Gu Lingxi spent thousands of years eliminating all the powerful figures who had devoured the Dragon Court. She then re-established the New Dragon Court on the edge of the Primordial Region, where she took power and became a renowned empress.

Now, in the Dragon Court Palace, where fortune is rising and prosperity is on the horizon, Gu Lingxi, dressed in imperial robes, sits on the throne. Her ever-growing majesty plunges the palace into a deathly silence.

"Dragon Essence".

Gu Lingxi's authoritative voice echoed.

"Your Majesty!" Inside the hall, a young man clad in holy dragon armor, exuding extraordinary bearing, stepped out from the crowd and bowed in greeting.

Gu Lingxi stared at the young man.

Long Yuan is a descendant of the Holy Dragon Emperor, and the most outstanding among them. He was taken in as a disciple by Gu Lingxi and followed her to rebuild the Dragon Court.

Today, Gu Lingxi had a sudden inspiration and felt it was time for Long Yuan to inherit the Holy Dragon Emperor's will and continue to control the Dragon Court.

Although the newly established Dragon Court is magnificent, it is still too fragile, and Gu Lingxi cannot completely let go of it for the time being.

She looked at Long Yuan and said softly, "I have recently gained some insights into my cultivation and need to go into seclusion for a while. From now on, all affairs of the Dragon Court, large and small, will be taken over by Long Yuan."

"..." The ministers below the stage remained silent, some of them worried, but faced with the Empress's majesty, they dared not say anything.

Long Yuan felt his master's trust, but this was followed by immense pressure.

Controlling the vast Dragon Court is still too much of a burden for him at the moment.

But Long Yuan knew his mission, and he would persevere no matter how many difficulties lay ahead.

His voice was loud and clear, revealing a strong sense of confidence in the eyes of the Dragon Court's high-ranking officials: "Your Majesty, Long Yuan will certainly live up to your expectations."

"good!"

A smile appeared on Gu Lingxi's face, and her figure disappeared.

……

The Great Wu Dynasty.

Half a year ago, Emperor Wu successfully broke through to the Dao Integration Realm, which boosted the dynasty's fortune and finally helped it overcome the most difficult hurdle.

The whole country rejoiced to celebrate the birth of the first Dao Integration Realm cultivator in the Great Wu Dynasty.

In the past, those at the Dao Integration Realm could be called saints, establishing their own holy lands and dominating the four seas.

However, after the great changes in the world, even those at the Dao Integration Realm could only act arrogantly in remote areas.

In this lively atmosphere.

Thirty miles outside the Great Wu Imperial City, in that sealed-off "holy land," a woman suddenly appeared.

Gu Lingxi left the Dragon Court, changed into a plain white dress, and simply tied up her jet-black hair with a hairpin, exuding a noble and serene temperament.

Her beautiful eyes gazed at the spot where Taigu Panshan once stood, now planted with a peach tree with branches as strong as a dragon, its branches full of pink petals, and a fragrance carried on the breeze.

"Thousands of years have passed, where have you gone?"

After standing there for a long time, Gu Lingxi sighed softly and turned to leave.

The moment she turned her head, her expression changed from surprise to delight, and then a smile brighter than a peach blossom bloomed on her face.

"You're back."

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Gu Lingxi took two steps forward and mustered her courage to grasp Luo Chen's hand.

This time, Luo Chen did not break free quietly as before, but instead intertwined his fingers even more tightly.

"Next time, don't leave without a trace for thousands of years."

"Next time, I'll take you with me!"

"..."
