After the death of Yunyue, the story finally came to an end. In the ending stage, the plot was divided into several lines. Of which, the most important one, of course, had to be … put at the end.
Therefore, the first one was Yunkongjun.
More than a thousand years ago, this peak Yuanying Stage great cultivator who personally established the Cloud Country, after thousands of years of twists and turns, finally came to an end.
Under the suppression of Yunyue, or perhaps all living things in the entire Cloud Country, Yunkongjun's soul flew away and scattered, his body and soul extinguished.
Wang Lu thought that according to the general script, there would be a farewell ceremony at the end. For example, the good side of Yunkongjun would suddenly awaken, and then he would repent for what he had done and leave behind some instructions for the future generations.
However, the development of things was not that dramatic. After the stele sank into the ground, Yunkongjun completely disappeared without leaving behind any complete last words. And his experience was actually the same as that of many cultivators in Nine Regions.
Cultivators embarked on the path of immortal cultivation, and from then on, the path of immortals and mortals were different. In the eyes of mortals, even a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator was as magical as a celestial immortal, and even omnipotent. However, in fact, the path of immortal cultivation was just the beginning. Before reaching the other side, cultivators were just longer and more powerful than mortals, but there was no real qualitative change.
Only by reaching the other side could they truly achieve immortality, and not be like Yunkongjun, who had the cultivation base of peak Yuanying Stage, but still inevitably fell into a tragic fate.
Of course, if an ordinary person came to this point, at most, they would sigh a few words about the impermanence of the world, reminisce about the heavy responsibilities of cultivators, and then leave. However, Wang Lu was not willing to end here.
This was the most powerful enemy in the entire immortal dream land! In order to deal with him, a peak Xudan Stage cultivator, the immortal dream land did not hesitate to create a peak Yuanying Stage opponent, which was simply outrageous. Later on, although it was impossible for Wang Lu to personally defeat the enemy, every step that allowed Yunyue to sublimate into a guardian deity was arranged by Wang Lu. Therefore, half of this achievement should be given to Yunyue, and the other half to Wang Lu. After painstakingly overthrowing a powerful enemy, he could not just say a few words of reminiscence, right?
Or to put it bluntly, what about dropping it?
Back in the Peach Blossom Village, after Wang Lu overthrew the Demon King, he did collect some spoils of war. Although most of them were just miscellaneous items that were not worth mentioning, there were still some. And where were Yunkongjun's spoils of war?
Since Yunkongjun himself did not stay behind, Wang Lu decided to do it himself. He broke the ground at the place where the stone tablet sank.
To put it simply, he had entered the tomb of the Cloud King.
Tomb robbing itself was not worth advocating, but there were too many secrets hidden in the Yun Nation's royal mausoleum, so people had no choice but to go and see for themselves. And in the tomb of the founder of the Yun Nation, Yunkongjun, Wang Lu finally found his spoils of war.
"Nine Revolutions Undying Art …"
In the empty coffin of Yunkongjun, Wang Lu found a purple book with five words written in dirty handwriting.
Opening the book, Wang Lu quickly read through the content. The second half of the book was blocked by a restrictive spell, so he could not read it. He needed to meet all kinds of conditions. And the content of the first half of the book was enough for Wang Lu to make a judgment: this was a valuable … evil technique.
The reason why Yunkongjun could live for a thousand years at the end of his life was because he cultivated the Nine Revolutions Undying Art. According to the records of this technique, each revolution could make a person reborn. Yunkongjun had been painstakingly cultivating for a thousand years and had already completed the first four revolutions. And the vitality obtained from this technique was just enough to offset his normal consumption, which allowed him to live for more than two thousand years.
An ordinary Yuanying Stage cultivator had a lifespan of at most six to seven hundred years. Yunkongjun having a lifespan of one thousand years was already half a step into the Deity Transformation Stage. Moreover, a Supreme who had just entered the Unity Stage could only live for two thousand years. Currently, the oldest cultivator in Nine Regions, South Pole Immortal Weng, had a lifespan of more than four thousand years. Many people exclaimed that it was inconceivable and strongly demanded that he be listed as a research object. However, Yunkongjun, a peak Yuanying Stage cultivator whose aptitude was not considered to be the best and whose cultivation method was only first-class, was able to extend his lifespan by two times because of the Nine Revolutions Undying Art! And this was just the fourth revolution!
What if it was Wang Lu himself?
According to Wang Lu's plan, in the most conservative case, he should be able to reach the Deity Transformation Stage or even the Unity Stage within one hundred years. Although it was too slow compared to Great Ancestor Desheng and Immortal Qin, it was already very fast in the post-Daism Age Nine Regions. And according to his calculation, without considering the extreme case — such as using a large amount of innate vitality regardless of the cost — he should be able to live for more than three thousand five hundred years. Although Non-Phase Method was not a method that specialized in prolonging one's lifespan, because too much of the content of this method consumed innate vitality, Wang Wu had also adjusted and perfected this method.
In this case, if he cultivated the Nine Revolutions Undying Art, he could at least complete the first seven revolutions, and by then, his lifespan would be more than seven thousand years! And if Wang Lu advanced to the Mahayana Stage and completed all nine revolutions, he would become a veritable giant throughout the ages! And this giant throughout the ages also had another name in the historical records: True Earth Immortal!
It was just that, there was no perfect thing in this world. Just like Non-Phase Method, behind its invincible defensive power, its offensive power was greatly damaged. The Nine Revolutions Undying Art allowed a cultivator to be reborn and prolong their lifespan, but the price was that, while being reborn, the cultivator's temperament would also be renewed...
In other words, the reason why Yunkongjun's temperament changed a thousand years after his death was not only because he couldn't get rid of the evil thoughts of advancing to the Deity Transformation Stage, but also because he cultivated the Nine Revolutions Undying Art. The reason why he set up the stele before his death was actually because he was afraid that he would completely lose control of himself after cultivating the Nine Revolutions Undying Art. Otherwise, with the strength of a peak Yuanying Stage cultivator, there were too many ways to make him disappear in a puff of smoke, so why bother to design a stele?
Yunkongjun was just eager to live a long life. Knowing the risks, he still wanted to try it. Unfortunately, despite his many efforts, it still led to a tragedy. A great cultivator of his generation eventually died as an evil devil...
Regarding this method, Wang Lu was, of course, interested, but he didn't intend to cultivate it immediately. The side effect was too strong, and Yunkongjun's example was not something that he could ignore. Therefore, instead of taking the risk himself, it was better to let the Elders of Heavenly Sword Hall carefully study it before he could enjoy the finished product.
Moreover, for Wang Lu, lifespan was actually not that important. Because in his view, only those whose qualifications were not enough to ascend to immortality in a short period of time, deeply afraid that their lifespan would be exhausted on the path of immortal cultivation, would do everything possible to prolong their lifespan. For Wang Lu, the so-called lifespan was nothing more than more Xiantian Yuan Qi that could be squandered.
Of course, the value of this method to him was only average, but he believed that the majority of people would scramble for it. If he contributed this method to the Wanxian League, or sold it to the Mysterious Sky Mansion, he would be able to obtain a considerable amount of profit. This was a lot of hard work, but with this Nine Revolutions Undying Art, Wang Lu's effort was worth it. Not to mention, for Wang Lu, the real harvest was something else.

"I really didn't expect it to be you, Grand Cloud Fairy."
Beside the clear lake, Wang Lu muttered to himself.
Grand Cloud Fairy, for Wang Lu, had an extraordinary significance.
Not only because of her peerless appearance, which shocked Wang Lu like never before, but because for the first time, Wang Lu experienced his own powerlessness.
Grand Cloud Fairy used the Thousand Year Ripple to pass on her power to Wang Lu, which allowed him to ascend to the Xudan Stage. That was one of the few times that his cultivation base soared, but the price was the fairy's death.
With the situation that Wang Lu faced at that time, reaching the Xudan Stage was necessary, but if he could choose, he really wanted to let the fairy come back to life, and then he would try other methods to solve the crisis of Grand Cloud Mountain.
But now, it seemed that everything was predestined. He personally sent Yunyue to the path of sacrifice, and then Yunyue reincarnated for dozens of generations, and whenever necessary, she would sacrifice herself.
And then … Wang Lu witnessed the death of Grand Cloud Fairy in front of him.
What an ironic story!
However, after realizing this, Wang Lu did more things.
"This lake is the place where you and I met and parted."
Wang Lu said with a self-deprecating smile, "In fact, I should have discovered that the Yun Country … is actually the Grand Cloud Mountain of the future, and the terrain is quite similar." "…"
"In this world, there is no immortal dynasty. After your death, it seems that the Yun Country did not persevere for too long, but you protected this land and the creatures on it until we met."
"At that time, after you dissipated, I picked up a white stone by the lake as a souvenir. For so many years, I have always carried it with me … "
As Wang Lu said this, he took out the stone that he had treasured for many years from a special place in his mustard seed bag.
"It's funny, when I collected it, I still had an unrealistic hope … I hoped that one day, when my power was strong enough, I could trace back to you through this stone and resurrect you. I was thinking that, with the fate between you and me, perhaps among the thousands of stones by the lake, I would be able to get a special one. "
"All of this is just wishful thinking. Just like after I left the Grand Cloud Mountain, I put your matter at the back of my mind in a few years. In this world, there are not so many unique people that can't be without you … However, fate is fate. "
With that, Wang Lu stepped on the lake, treading on the waves, and floated to the center of the lake where the phosphorescent light shone. Then, he wrapped the stone with his Non-Phase magical power and suspended it in mid-air.
On the lakeside, a breeze blew, blowing petals. Wang Lu gently inhaled, and the Void Core in his Jade Mansion stirred, triggering a tide of spiritual power.
The surrounding spiritual energy was intangible, so most of the petals were not affected. They fell on the lake with the wind, like a drifting boat. However, there were also some that came along with the spiritual energy and flew to the front of Wang Lu.
Wang Lu stuck the petals on the white stone, feeling a trace of familiar aura, and then put the stone on his cheek and then sank it to the bottom of the lake.
"Grand Cloud Mountain, let's meet again in thousands of years."
With that, Wang Lu stepped forward and flew ashore.
"Finally, there's only one thing left."
On the shore, Wang Lu released his Non-Phase Sword Qi, dug a lot of huge holes, and then took out a bunch of things from his mustard seed bag to fill them.
Inside, there were all kinds of precious works of art, jewelry, and jewelry, whose value would continue to multiply with the passage of time, as well as precious spirit plant seeds with a growth cycle of thousands of years.
"My cultural relics and spirit plants, let's meet again in thousands of years."
