Chapter 361 A Parting is Inevitable, What Pity Today
Qingzhou, Yin-Yang Palace.
Sun Qiao'er was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, writing something with a very focused expression.
At this moment, Sun Qiao'er already holds a high position, serving as the master of a palace with the cultivation of a minor completion of the Divine Mansion, which can be considered unprecedented.
Over time, an air of authority grew stronger around her, her eyes and brows filled with coldness, as if keeping everyone at arm's length.
Just then, a figure slowly walked into the courtyard.
Sun Qiao'er looked up and her face lit up with joy. She quickly stood up and went to the man's side, bowed to him, and then took his arm, asking sweetly:
"Master, what brings you back today?"
Indeed, this person is Ding Yi, who came to Qingzhou from Biyou Palace.
At this moment, Ding Yi showed no signs of cultivation whatsoever, standing there like an ordinary person. If it weren't for Sun Qiao'er's natural affinity for Ding Yi, she wouldn't have dared to associate the person in front of her with the infamous Ding Laomo who once dominated the world.
Ding Yi looked at the beautiful woman beside him, smiled, patted her head, and then said:
"Yes, I came to see you and Liu Xun."
Upon hearing this, Sun Qiao'er's expression changed immediately, and she gripped Ding Yi's arm even tighter, as if she had guessed something.
Ding Yi felt the strong elasticity in his arm and showed a comfortable expression, but continued to say:
"Don't worry, it's just a temporary separation."
"There are some things I must do, otherwise, if the world collapses, no one will be able to escape."
Sun Qiao'er's expression was complicated. As a princess, she had received a different education from ordinary people since childhood, so she was well aware of Ding Yi's difficulties.
So, she quietly released her grip on Ding Yi's hands, then smiled and asked:
"Is everything ready, sir?"
Ding Yi nodded, then took out a square-shaped object from his pocket and handed it to Sun Qiao'er, saying:
"This is an energy stone. After I leave, the Zhao siblings and Number One will rely entirely on it for their energy."
Upon hearing this, Sun Qiao'er immediately took the stone from Ding Yi's hand and carefully placed it in her bosom.
Seeing this, Ding Yi looked around the courtyard and suddenly said:
"Hmm, it seems you listened to me and didn't look for any more maids. Good."
After Ding Yi finished speaking, he didn't linger. He patted Sun Qiao'er's head again, then turned and walked outside. At the same time, a voice drifted over:
"No need to see me off. If you work hard in your cultivation, we might meet again someday."
Sun Qiao'er stood in the courtyard, listening to Ding Yi's words, and was momentarily stunned.
At this moment, she had no idea what she was feeling.
Sad? Reluctant to part?
Suddenly, a clear tear fell to the ground with a soft patter, but it disappeared into the sound of the wind rustling through the paulownia trees in the courtyard.
Unbeknownst to her, somewhere in the Yang Palace on the other side of the Yin-Yang Palace, Liu Xun was kneeling on the ground, facing the direction Ding Yi had left, and was crying his eyes out.
"Master! Master!!"
...
On the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, the weather is clear, which is auspicious for relocation, but inauspicious for breaking ground.
Three hundred miles outside Biyou Palace, on a desolate piece of land, Ding Yi stood alone.
His expression remained unchanged as he looked up at the sky, lost in thought.
After a moment, he seemed to have made a decision. Then, his body swayed slightly, and a terrifying aura slowly emanated from him.
The howling pressure was like a raging flood, pouring out in all directions, instantly creating an invisible vortex beneath his feet.
The surrounding soil and gravel tumbled toward him, coalescing in mid-air into thick, gray dragons that twisted and danced.
The next moment, as if stimulated by something, the entire sky darkened.
A huge vortex suddenly appeared in the thick clouds, like a giant eye staring intently at Ding Yi from above.
"Hehehe, so this is ascension?"
Looking at the huge black vortex above, Ding Yi's face showed an indescribable excitement, and he couldn't help but let out a series of strange laughs.
He felt a terrifying pressure coming from above, and he could even sense the way the immortals and Buddhas behind him were looking at him.
Greed, elation!
"I can't wait! I really look forward to going up there and beating you all to death!!"
Ding Yi held his forehead with his hand, trying to calm himself down, but his muscles trembled with even more excitement.
He was so happy!
This feeling of knowing the fear yet facing it head-on is something no one can understand.
This is breaking through the boundaries of physiology and psychology; this is the strongest belief in realizing one's true self!
Just then, a thick beam of light suddenly fell from the center of the vortex, enveloping Ding Yi on the ground.
Bathed in this light, Ding Yi felt as if the cells in his muscles were cheering and making joyful noises!
This is ascension!
This is an evolution of life!
Indeed, even if there is despair, traps, and darkness above, at this moment, ascension is ascension, a real gift from heaven and earth.
Moving from the smaller world to the larger world inevitably leads to a leap in the level of life. This is the ultimate reason why all life forms strive to rise above their limits and desperately try to leap over the dragon gate!
This is their way!
"Hahaha, come on!!"
Ding Yi let out a low laugh, and then his whole body gradually rose up in the light, slowly drifting towards the huge vortex above.
Meanwhile, dozens of miles away, Ji Huanxue looked at the distant sky, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes.
Although all preparations have been made, nothing is absolute. Once he ascends to the upper realm, he will no longer be able to help Ding Yi.
However, this was Ding Yi's own choice.
The strong are always lonely, and as a reincarnation of a Venerable One, she knew this truth well.
Even if given that opportunity, she would still choose this path, let alone Ding Yi!
"My lord, please go ahead. We'll meet again in the upper realm."
Biyou Palace, the dungeon.
Kim Moo-hwan, who was locked in a cell with his collarbone pierced, suddenly had clear, bright eyes.
He seemed to sense something, looked up in a certain direction, and muttered to himself:
"I can't sever ties with the past, so I'll have to rely on your help."
"Once you sever ties with my past, I will come back and take everything that belongs to me."
