Since sending his younger brother to reincarnation, the Moon God had been on the moon, watching Ji Shiyou.
In the first life, Ji Shiyou and Mingyue met their demise on Volcanic Island.
The Moon God sighed, silently comforting himself.
He thought, no rush, there were still two more reincarnations.
Who knew that in this life, things would be even more unbearable.
Everything was clearly developing in a good direction, their misunderstandings resolved, their love even stronger.
Yet, that damned Qinglan Shangren deliberately hid, causing Mingyue to die from poison.
Ji Shiyou committed suicide out of grief, and the two jumped off the Sacrifice Cliff.
At this moment, that damned Qinglan Shangren.
Appeared at the cliff top, with a face full of schadenfreude.
The Moon God loathed this person. He couldn't interfere with Ji Shiyou's reincarnation.
But dealing with a mortal was no problem.
So he couldn't help but descend from the Moon Palace to the mortal realm, intending to punish him.
As a result, before he could act.
He saw Qinglan Shangren give him a chilling glance.
The Moon God's soul was scattered when he saw Qinglan Shangren change his face.
Just as he was about to pay homage, he saw Qinglan Shangren silently tell him to scram.
Terrified, the Moon God quickly vanished and fled back to the Moon Palace.
Back on the moon, the Moon God clutched his chest, still in shock.
He couldn't understand why such a powerful figure.
Would appear in the reincarnation of his younger brother and Mingyue.
It seemed that his younger brother and Mingyue's fate was difficult to change, and they could only accept it.
Calming himself, the Moon God recalled carefully.
It seemed that in his brother's thousand reincarnations, in every single one.
There was always someone named Qinglan who appeared, regardless of whether they had any contact with Ji Shiyou.
This person would influence the direction of his life, leading to Ji Shiyou's reincarnations always ending badly.
The more the Moon God thought about it, the more his heart sank. Ji Shiyou and Mingyue had only one reincarnation left.
He couldn't help but want to know the outcome of this reincarnation.
So, he began to stealthily search for the world of Ji Shiyou and Mingyue's final reincarnation.
The Moonflower Realm, a fantasy world.
Here, humans, demons, and monsters coexisted, and evil spirits roamed.
Humans cultivated immortal arts, ghosts cultivated the ghostly path, and monsters cultivated demonic arts.
Their common goal was to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Once ascended, they could be reborn, shedding their beastly forms.
Breaking free from the cycle of the five elements, achieving an immortal body, and reshaping their golden forms.
Countless beings endured thousands of years of arduous cultivation for this, striving in this direction.
But ascension was not easy; besides effort, it required rare opportunities and talent.
Thus, in the ten thousand years of the Moonflower Realm, very few had achieved true fruition and successfully ascended.
No more than a handful, cultivating immortality was too bitter, and ascension too difficult.
So some people sought shortcuts and turned to demonic cultivation.
Compared to immortal cultivation, demonic cultivation was easier, and one's cultivation progressed faster.
However, the methods of demonic cultivation involved harming living beings and absorbing souls, cruel and wicked practices.
They were despised and forbidden by immortal cultivators, hence the eternal enmity between immortals and demons.
Disciples of immortal cultivation sects also took it upon themselves to slay demons and eliminate evil.
As soon as they discovered a demonic evil, they would exterminate it without mercy.
"Nu Tao, what road are you referring to?
We are going to Sifang Mountain, not Sifang Mountain?
Are you stupid? You can't even distinguish between 'fang' and 'fang'.
You've led us astray, and now we're lost.
If we can't reach Sifang Mountain in time and let other sects get the treasure.
Can you afford the responsibility? Master will surely punish us.
Your stupidity is enough, and you've even implicated us and Senior Brother. Are you doing this on purpose?"
Below Sifang Mountain in the southeast of the Moonflower Realm, a beautiful woman in her early twenties.
Pointed at the boundary monument below the mountain and berated a burly, simple-looking young man.
"I didn't, the compass is broken, I didn't do it on purpose.
Sister Juan, Senior Brother, you have to believe me.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Although the young man was tall, his face was tender.
He looked no older than sixteen or seventeen. Facing the accusations, his face turned red with anxiety.
He was simple and only knew how to say sorry.
"Alright, Shu Xue, stop blaming Nu Tao.
This is his first time descending the mountain for training, and it's inevitable he'll make mistakes.
As his senior brothers and sisters, we should be understanding and guide him.
You're shouting so loud, you're scaring the junior brother."
Seeing Nu Tao's embarrassed expression, a young man in his early twenties spoke up to ease the situation.
These people were men and women, all young.
They wore unified uniforms, regardless of gender.
They were all black robes with red trim on the collars and cuffs.
Around their waists, they wore a palm-wide, crimson belt embroidered with a golden crow pattern.
Anyone familiar with the immortal sects of the Moonflower Realm would recognize them at a glance.
These dozen or so youths were disciples of the Golden Crow Palace, the foremost immortal cultivation sect in the Moonflower Realm.
"Senior Brother, they're bullying me, you have to help me!"
After being rebuked by the second senior brother, Tian Jian, Juan Shu Xue felt a bit embarrassed.
She ran to Senior Brother Ji Shiyou and complained with a sweet, coquettish tone.
Her pursuit of Ji Shiyou was known throughout the Golden Crow Palace.
Several fellow disciples turned their faces away, thinking: Here we go again!
"Silence!"
Ji Shiyou, with his sword clasped in his hands, was expressionless. He subtly shifted a step to the side.
Dodging Juan Shu Xue's attempt to lean on him, a hint of disgust flickered at the corner of his lips.
He spat out two words coldly, not even looking at Juan Shu Xue directly.
"Senior Brother..."
Juan Shu Xue wanted to say more, but Ji Shiyou glared at her.
The remaining words were swallowed back, and she dared not speak again.
The other fellow disciples, seeing Senior Brother's gaze fixed on the mountain.
Dared not make a sound, and all looked towards Sifang Mountain before them.
Their Senior Brother Ji Shiyou was usually aloof and taciturn.
But his cultivation was extremely high. Even their Master, the Palace Master of the Golden Crow Palace, the Golden Crow Fairy, said.
That her head disciple would ascend before her.
Considering that the Golden Crow Fairy's cultivation.
Was considered a leading figure in the Moonflower Realm.
Even she evaluated Ji Shiyou like this, which showed how strong Ji Shiyou's cultivation was.
As expected, Ji Shiyou had discovered something. Soon, everyone saw.
Two people, a man and a woman, scrambling down Sifang Mountain.
"Are you fellow Daoists of the Golden Crow Palace? We are disciples of the Divine Physician Valley.
My name is Shi Lie, and this is my junior sister Wu Ya.
More than ten of our fellow disciples came here to gather herbs.
We encountered people from the demonic path, and our fellow disciples were trapped.
Only my junior sister and I escaped. We implore you, in the name of our immortal sects.
Save our fellow disciples trapped on the mountain."
The man in his twenties, who called himself Shi Lie.
Recognized Ji Shiyou's identity from their attire and pleaded for help.
"Senior Brother, there's no need to worry. As fellow immortal sects, we should indeed support each other.
Moreover, immortals and demons are irreconcilable, and eradicating demons and upholding righteousness is our duty.
The Golden Crow Palace will not stand idly by. Please lead the way.
We will go up the mountain together to rescue our fellow disciples from the Divine Physician Valley."
Due to Ji Shiyou's cold and aloof nature, he disliked speaking.
Therefore, matters of receiving guests and communicating with others.
Were always handled by the second senior brother, Tian Jian. Upon hearing that disciples of the Divine Physician Valley were attacked by demonic cultivators on the mountain.
He readily agreed to the rescue and was about to lead the disciples of the Golden Crow Palace up the mountain to save them.
"Liar!"
At this moment, Ji Shiyou's sword was unsheathed, pointing directly at Shi Lie's throat.
