“I don’t know the reason… but being able to control the Spiritual Fire is a good thing overall. Nian’er, did it really just appear with a single thought?”
Chen Juenian nodded in response to Xuanyuan Jiong.
“I see. Let’s put this matter aside for now.”
“…”
Chen Juenian’s body had always been like this.
He was even certain that this was still his body from his previous life.
That world had no Spiritual Energy, but this world did.
In a world with Spiritual Energy, the Immortal Chen Juenian originally possessed a Five Elements Spirit Root.
After dying twice in a row, his body had returned to its original state and undergone great changes.
The Five Elements Spirit Root disappeared, replaced by only a common Gold Spiritual Root.
A cultivator with only a Gold Spiritual Root wouldn’t even have a Spiritual Fire, let alone control it.
Now Chen Juenian had some reason to suspect that his Five Elements Spirit Root hadn’t completely disappeared.
Otherwise, there was no reason he could use Spiritual Fire without seeing his Fire Spirit Root.
“Nian’er, the water is ready! Take off your clothes and get in!”
“I understand.”
Burdened with thoughts, Chen Juenian removed his robe, wrapped a white cloth around himself, and entered the pool.
He looked at the pool water and moved his mind as if calling upon the Spiritual Fire.
Faint ripples spread outward from his center.
The pool water actually responded to him!
“Nian’er—”
Hearing the call, Chen Juenian turned his head and saw Xuanyuan Jiong’s face full of grievance.
This time, Chen Juenian didn’t hug her, nor did he even sit close to her.
“Is Nian’er unhappy…”
“Of course Nian’er loves Mother! Just now, Nian’er was only thinking about the Spiritual Fire.”
He quickly moved to Xuanyuan Jiong’s side and hugged her, barely satisfying his mother’s request.
“There’s no need to worry about the Spiritual Fire, Nian’er. Since it exists, it’s certainly a good thing for you. With the Spiritual Fire, you can use it in battle, and you can also choose the Elixir Path and become an alchemist. Your great-aunt knows the Great Emperor of the Elixir Path. Does Nian’er know of that Great Emperor?”
Chen Juenian was silent for a moment, then answered:
“Nian’er has seen it in a book.”
“Mm, so does Nian’er want to learn alchemy?”
“Nian’er has no such intention for now.”
“…”
“…”
In the Cloud Pavilion, Mu Chunxiang quietly watched the sun rise and set, repeating endlessly.
Time could not be reversed, and the shattered white hair could not be restored.
Her Master had helped her one last time.
No matter what, the final wish before disappearing seemed to be to return to one’s roots, and the white hair turning into dust drifting with the wind was heading toward the Mortal Realm.
Watching the sun set again, Mu Chunxiang took the Jade Bead from her waist.
It had now become pure white, no longer the same as before.
After becoming different, was it still the same?
The Jade Bead reflected Mu Chunxiang’s face, and at this moment, she even felt somewhat unfamiliar to herself.
“Master… after Chun Xiang dies… accidentally… Chun Xiang will become the Master’s familiar self…”
Hanging the Jade Bead back at her waist, Mu Chunxiang looked toward the Mortal Realm millions of miles away.
In the years since leaving Chen Juenian, the people of Linlang Pavilion had been searching for an Immortal Mountain under orders.
After six hundred years of no news, Mu Chunxiang understood that since her Master was so powerful, as long as he didn’t want to be found, she would never be able to find him.
But now, he was dead.
The Immortal Mountain would no longer migrate, no longer hide from the world.
It would always be there.
Though the world was vast, it could not stop the dying Mu Chunxiang.
She had to die together with her Master, or at least not be too far away.
