Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 748: Senior Sister! Senior Sister!

It was over. A silence filled the air, and only the pure, black and gold lotus in Yun Xiao's hands spun and blossomed, a testament that time had not halted.

Everything that belonged to the Chaos Soul, Chaos Sovereign, and the wandering soul Lu Fan had utterly vanished atop the Great Dao Celestial Realm, leaving no trace behind.

Even the Buddha's Treasures of the imperial family and top celestial officials had disappeared into the sky.

The Heavenly Palace, once resplendent and thriving, lay in ruins and desolation—a stark contrast to its former splendor, now looking all too bleak...

Yet, reality often showed that when the elite reveled in luxury, the ground was littered with bones. Today, as the glory of the Celestial Court was utterly destroyed, the mortal realm welcomed relief and rebirth.

One by one, the fearless ordinary Immortals ascended the desolate Heavenly Palace. They watched the youth in white, fluttering in the wind, his eyes carrying a stormy sea.

Everyone breathed deeply.

There was no cheering, no excitement, no blood boiling.

Only after everything had ended, they felt a rebirth, a true release of breath in exhaustion.

Many sat down slowly on the ground, faces pale, easing the tension and suffocation within... showing just how worried and afraid they had been.

Lu Fan and Yun Xiao, one mad, the other calm.

Anyone in their right mind could see, if madness prevailed, the disaster it would bring to this world.

For the Chaos Soul, there was nothing more urgent than saving his clan. Having nurtured Lu Fan for over 20 years in hiding, he could wait no longer!

His people or these fleeting souls… who was more important? For him, it was not even a question.

Yun Xiao's victory meant that the Great Dao Celestial Realm and mortal realm survived!

All Immortals and mortals, regardless of their trials, were survivors of a great calamity!

They would need a long time to truly absorb the outcome and calm their hearts.

This included Gu Suwan, Yue Yin, and Cao Shuo. Tears of joy did not suffice to describe their emotions. They watched from afar, eyes trembling, breathless for a long time...

It seemed the whole world was calm, except perhaps the War Princess.

She was tense, but her faith in Yun Xiao was the strongest. Even though she would never admit it, she had become the top fan of the Creator Immortal. She was a year older than him, of course.

"This guy, when he's handsome, he's breathtakingly so."

Though a devil herself, and taller than Yun Xiao, no one could surpass this young man's charm and allure in her eyes.

The War Princess too breathed a deep sigh of relief.

All was well now! The Great Dao Celestial Realm welcomed a new dawn.

"Hahaha..."

Finally, someone burst into hearty laughter. Unsurprisingly, it was Cao Shuo, a being not a devil but more enchanting than any—a delinquent gal with a heart of gold!

Now, after her dual cultivation with Yun Xiao, she grew even more captivating and elegant. The Primordial Yin-Yang Thunder Furnace elevated her aura, elevating her to the seductress of the Celestial Court.

Her maternal allure differed completely from the War Princess' youthful charm.

Her joyful laughter spurred the surrounding Immortals, their faces glowing, holding their sides with laughter.

The joy of surviving the ordeal was written on everyone's faces!

"The White Emperor, the Crown Prince, Empress Zhao, the imperial family, the top celestial officials, and Lu Fan... are all dead!"

"The evildoers, all gone!"

"Lu Yao, Divine Dawn..."

To the ordinary immortals, that god-like youth in white was still Sky Soaring City's Lu Yao!

His legend would be sung in the Great Dao Celestial Realm for a very long time...

Even Yun Xiao was caught up in the mood, somewhat moved.

On his path of growth, the pressure and impact from the duo of Lu Fan and the White Emperor were even more formidable than the Three Immortals at that time.

Yun Xiao also gained many insights into the dao!

After this battle, his Worldly Dao Heart grew stronger, his conviction firmer, and his spirit even more unbreakable. He felt a broad-minded magnificence!

"Bro!"

As Yun Xiao was immersed in this grand moment, a sharp cry suddenly rang in his ears.

"What's up?" Yun Xiao snapped out of it, turning to look at the little black beast with faces on both its head and chest.

"What are you dazing out for? This is the purest Chaos Emperor Lotus left by the Chaos Soul after his death, perfect for reinforcing the Genesis Spirit. It's even more advanced than the Cosmic Pagoda or Divine Cosmic Sword. If you're planning to give it to Big Lanterns Zhao, you better hurry. In less than a day, those lanterns... Ah, no! I mean the Chaos Emperor Lotus will disappear!" Blue Star said, almost tripping over his tongue.

“One day?” Zhao Xuanran was still navigating the First Dao Tribulation, while the birth of the Genesis Spirit belonged to the Second Dao Tribulation, and its emergence required reaching the Third Dao Tribulation.

“Is it possible to achieve the Third Dao Tribulation in one day?” Yun Xiao asked.

“It depends on the resources you currently hold,” Blue Star said.

“There are plenty of good things left by the Divine Imperial Son,” Yun Xiao noted.

To someone facing the First Dao Tribulation, the level of the Divine Imperial Son was exceedingly lofty.

With that thought, Yun Xiao’s gaze firmed, and he declared, “Then, let’s try it.”

He summoned Gu Suwan’s Azure Rain Sword Vessel. Without a word to them, he took to the skies, taking the small Chaos Emperor Lotus and dashed out of the Great Dao Celestial Realm.

“What’s he in such a rush for?” Cao Shuo stepped forward, asking respectfully.

The War Princess bit her lip and said, “Nine times out of ten, he’s gone to find his first love.”

Cao Shuo fell silent. “Isn’t Divine Dawn his first love?”

“That guy clings to the past; his first love holds the highest place in his heart,” the War Princess explained.

Cao Shuo nodded in understanding, then with a hint of amusement in her eyes, she whispered, “May I ask, besides you, his first love, and the Seventh Princess, is there…”

“Stop!” the War Princess quickly interrupted, stressing, “Don’t include me in there; I'm not one of them.”

“Oh…?” Cao Shuo smirked ambiguously.

Did she really not know? She wanted to say that the War Princess was like the dish left in his bowl, played with until eventually consumed.

Cao Shuo was self-aware. She didn’t get jealous or vie for favor; life was too short for such troubles. She was just a bit curious.

Such a miraculous youth, who could be this first love in his eyes?

She knew the Seventh Princess and Yun Xiao fought side by side, a match made in heaven… Who else could possibly intervene?

▬ι══🪦✧⚰️✧🪦══ι▬

The Azure Rain Sword Vessel streaked through the void, hurtling at breakneck speed.

Inside the sword vessel, Yun Xiao was alone. It had been too long! Nearly ten days had passed. He was homeward bound with the urgency of an arrow.

No matter where he went, his heart held only one home. Each battle abroad felt like an endless drift.

Why could he not forget her? Yun Xiao didn’t know, but she was etched in his heart as if she belonged to another world, living in a utopia that haunted his dreams.

“Senior Sister, Senior Sister…”

Their last meeting was when the Nine Hells was on the verge of collapsing.

Yun Xiao was in such a hurry that even when passing by the Primordial Ruins, he didn’t stop to inform Liu Mumu. Instead, he descended directly into the Nine Hells, and from there, into the Divine Continent...

Then, he arrived back at Azure Spirit! The lush green forests once again lay before his eyes.

Scenes from his early days on the path of immortality replayed in his mind as if they were only yesterday.

Many from Azure Spirit had ascended to higher realms, leaving few behind to guard home.

Soon, Yun Xiao found the Little Cloud Residence. Fearing his own power might destroy everything here, he reined in his aura and landed gently.

The wooden hut, the fish pond, the stone table, the osmanthus tree… The feeling of home was as deeply etched as ever.

“Senior Sister, Senior…” Yun Xiao murmured, about to call out again when he spotted something that made him smile knowingly.

It was the Cosmic Pagoda. Beneath the osmanthus tree, it seemed enveloped by a long river of time, quietly flowing.

"She claims to be detached from worldly concerns, but she's still secretly cultivating?"

Zhao Xuanran had once said she didn’t want to enter the Cosmic Pagoda, fearing that accelerated time would age her prematurely. Such a contradictory woman!

With a grin, Yun Xiao tiptoed towards the Cosmic Pagoda. Naturally, it could not bar him.

He quickly entered inside. A surge of light rippled, and everything brightened.

Amidst the shimmering light, Yun Xiao stood in white robes, the epitome of youthful vigor, while opposite him, a silhouette in a black gown sat cross-legged at the center of the pagoda, her long hair up in a bun, brows slightly furrowed in dismay.

She seemed to have encountered a problem during her cultivation.

"Ah... so difficult!" She sighed softly, murmuring, "I'm really not cut out for this, even with all the good fortune, I'm still light-years away from Junior Brother Yun."

Her secretly diligent yet frustrated demeanor was endearingly cute.

“Yet, I only wish to be as close as seven inches closer to you.”

A tender laugh suddenly filled her ears.

Zhao Xuanran was startled, suddenly lifting her chin to find the ethereal youth in white standing before her. Her face flushed with embarrassment, she retorted, “What nonsense is that? Aren’t you hurting the baby saying things like that?”
