It was a mess in the courtyard of the Shen family.
Shen Meng Qi stood on the spot with an increasingly terrible expression. She was filled with a deathly aura and her glabella was shrouded in a black fog. She was in a daze and could collapse at any moment.
Shen Nan carefully supported her from the side. He could only watch on helplessly as this scene unfolded before his eyes.
Initially, he hoped that his younger sister could join the immortal sects so that he and his family could soar as well.
But now, everything was in vain.
Shen Nan did not feel disappointed.
At this moment, he only hoped that his younger sister could survive. Even if the two of them returned to their previous days of poverty, it would be better than him being all alone.
Shen Nan asked softly, "Lie down and rest for a while?"
Shen Meng Qi shook her head gently and stood on the spot stubbornly. She tried her best to open her eyes and look at the door, as though she was waiting for something.
She knew that if she lay down now, she might not be able to get up again.
The night gradually faded.
Finally, a familiar figure appeared at the door.
Green robes, black hair, and delicate features.
This person had accompanied her through countless happy and warm times.
Right now, this person was here to send her on her final journey.
Shen Meng Qi said softly, "Bring me there."
After a long silence, Su Zimo said, "Alright."
Su Zimo flicked his sleeves and swept up Shen Meng Qi who was not far away. They soared into the air and disappeared into the night sky above Ping Yang Town in the blink of an eye.
Before long, the two of them landed in a small valley.
It was the beginning of spring and everything was recovering. Under the hazy night sky, tender shoots could be seen growing out of the vegetation in a lush manner.
In the valley, there was even spring water that was clear and cold.
Such a scenery was nothing much in the cultivation world.
All the major sects would look for places with rich spirit qi with green mountains and clear waters to establish their sects. There might be a vast sea of clouds, waterfalls, mist and rainbows …
Those were places where mortals could not reach.
Naturally, this valley could not compare to them. However, it was better in terms of its authenticity. There was a gentle breeze, the chirping of birds and insects and the gurgling of spring water …
Amidst the clamorous mortal world and the chaos of war, this place could be considered to be a rare paradise that was tranquil and beautiful.
When they were young, the two of them had inadvertently discovered this place and viewed it as a paradise, a small world that belonged to the two of them. They were never willing to tell anyone about it.
Apart from the time when Su Zimo was studying, this was the place that the two of them frequented the most.
For countless nights, the two of them lay side by side on a small hill in the valley, looking up at the blue dome of heaven, looking at the vast and deep starry sky, fantasizing about the future.
Chen Meng Qi once said, "If one day we grow old, we will be buried here."
Now, she was here.
Su Zimo placed Chen Meng Qi on the grass. His expression was indifferent as he stood there silently. However, a complicated and indescribable emotion flashed through the depths of his eyes.
He no longer cared about Chen Meng Qi.
Eight years ago, the moment Chen Meng Qi decided to leave, their relationship had already ended.
But now, seeing her end like this, Su Zimo felt a wave of sympathy and pity in his heart.
Shen Meng Qi was not a bad person.
Otherwise, she would not have reminded Su Zimo to be careful of Zhou Dingyun before she left Ping Yang Town eight years ago.
Otherwise, she would not have disobeyed Perfected Being Cang Lang eight years later and brought about a fatal disaster.
Her personality was not suited to survive in the cruel cultivation world.
Even if Perfected Being Cang Lang did not harm her, she would have died sooner or later.
That immortal opportunity had ruined her.
"Zimo, actually, I haven't been happy in the past eight years of cultivation. I've had enough of the deceit and the cruelty of the cultivation world. "
Lying beside Su Zimo's feet, Chen Meng Qi looked up at the starry sky above her with a dazed expression as she murmured softly.
"I often think about how good my days were in the past. I was carefree and had no worries."
"Even if I could only accompany you by your side and watch you study quietly …"
As Chen Meng Qi spoke, her voice turned softer and softer.
Su Zimo listened quietly and remained silent the entire time.
As dawn approached, the stars in the sky were fading bit by bit.
"This starry sky … is so beautiful. It's a pity … that I'll never … be able to see it again."
Gradually, Chen Meng Qi closed her eyes.
She did not open them again.
The power of the Spirit Lock Flower had already dissipated.
Su Zimo channeled his spirit energy and flicked his sleeves.
On the ground, a human shaped grave appeared. Soil flew everywhere, but not a single drop landed on Chen Meng Qi's body.
Su Zimo placed Chen Meng Qi into the grave. Just as he was about to bury her with mud, he paused.
Su Zimo's eyelids were lowered slightly. His gaze was calm as he remained motionless and silent.
He merely stood there quietly.
A long time later, dawn broke over the horizon and a ray of sunlight chased away the night.
In the grave, Chen Meng Qi was like a young girl in deep sleep. She was quiet and peaceful, as though she was one with the valley.
Under the ray of sunlight, two streams of tears flowed down from the corners of the young girl's eyes.
The teardrop was sparkling and translucent, reflecting a figure.
Tears rolled down his cheeks, and together with this figure, he was forever buried in this valley with the young girl.
Finally, Su Zimo took a deep breath and waved his sleeves, burying her with mud.
Su Zimo turned around.
Not far away, Shen Nan stood there with grief and tears streaming down his face.
From now on, he no longer had any relatives in this world.
Initially, Shen Nan's heart was filled with fear towards Su Zimo.
However, at this moment, Shen Nan had already lost his rationality as he shouted at Su Zimo, "What did she do wrong? A chance to become an immortal was right in front of her – what reason did she have to not choose it? Who could reject it? "
"Why did she end up like this? Why … "
Shen Nan was hysterical. He cried loudly as if he had gone mad.
At this moment, in his heart, he even hoped that Su Zimo would kill him directly so that he would not have to suffer so much pain and grief.
Su Zimo walked out of the valley. When he passed by Shen Nan, he paused slightly and said softly, "She didn't do anything wrong. What was wrong was fate. "
Stunned, Shen Nan slumped down weakly.
Su Zimo left and disappeared before long.
After returning to Ping Yang Town, Su Zimo walked on the long street. Looking at the familiar sights and objects, his heart was filled with emotions.
Everything started here.
Because of an immortal opportunity, the fates of Su Zimo, Shen Meng Qi and Perfected Being Cang Lang changed.
Eight years later, everything ended here once more.
It was as though everything was fated from the start.
It was only now that Su Zimo was certain that he had truly let go of Shen Meng Qi and let go of the past.
There was no resentment, hatred, sadness or joy.
Their past was completely buried in that valley.
The past and grudges were like a stone in Su Zimo's heart that had settled down for eight years. Now, they had finally dissipated and turned into dust.
Once he severed his mortal ties and settled his karma, his thoughts would be clear!
Within his dantian, his spirit sea surged with massive waves.
Su Zimo felt an opportunity to enter the Jin Dan realm.
