Yan Zhaoge looked at Chen Qianhua and said, "Concealment of the source, or concealment of the longitude? If it weren't for some special concealment technique, I wouldn't have failed to notice that someone had already reached the tree. "
"However, this illusory scene seemed to originate from the Ancient Splendid Tree itself. How could I not notice that someone was faking it?"
He glanced at Chen Qianhua, "I knew it. Who would be so bored as to think of no one else other than you?"
While Chen Qianhua's expression was lazy, his eyes lit up. He stared at Yan Zhaoge and smiled, "You were filled with reverence and yearning for it. You even tried your best to bring it back to its roots. In the end, you realized that the truth wasn't as beautiful as you thought it to be."
"I thought that you were a person who was willing to sacrifice yourself for righteousness, a person who was firm and fearless, but in the end, you turned out to be extremely ugly and disappointing. I'm really interested in how you will react to this disparity. How can you be bored?"
Chen Qianhua shook his head regretfully, "What a pity. You could tell that it was my handiwork."
He suddenly smiled, "When I created this projection, I used many secret arts to enhance it. Not to mention True Immortals and Profound Immortals, even Virtual Immortals would be fooled. However, you saw through it with a single glance. Yan Zhaoge, you're truly unique!"
Yan Zhaoge stared at Chen Qianhua and smiled, "Even if I didn't look at it, I would know that the Bright Connection Emperor's final words were completely different from the illusion you created."
"Now that you're suspecting me, even if it doesn't match your expectations, you would still think that I'm faking it," said Chen Qianhua indifferently.
He opened his palm, and an ice-like crystal appeared in his palm.
The light and shadow projected by the crystal fell on the water curtain that was erected in the void like a barrier between the two of them.
A figure appeared in the projection. It was a woman in a white dress.
She was the Bright Connection Emperor – Hu Yuexin.
Compared to the projection created by Chen Qianhua, the current Hu Yuexin in the projection had no difference in appearance.
Her face was dim, and her skin was pale. Anyone could tell that her injuries had already reached a critical point, and she was at the final moments of her life.
However, different from the projection created by Chen Qianhua, Hu Yuexin's expression was much calmer.
He spat out a mouthful of turbid air that was mixed with grey and blood red.
Hu Yuexin's face, which was originally pale, was now flushed red.
In the final radiance of the setting sun, her expression became even more tranquil and open-minded.
Although there was an unconcealable weakness in his eyes, they were as calm as water, without any fear or resentment.
"Master, may I know where you are now? Are you all right? " Hu Yuexin looked up at the water curtain in the sky. Looking at the strange and dazzling scene reflected on the water curtain, she couldn't help but be a little lost in thought. "With your temperament, I don't think you would be afraid of matters of life and death. In fact, I have already prepared myself."
"If you were still here, you wouldn't have stayed silent for so many years. But I still have some hope in my heart."
Hu Yuexin smiled. "However, I'm afraid I'll have to leave first today. I sincerely hope that you're still alive. It's a pity that I won't be able to wait until the day you return."
"But I didn't embarrass you."
The lady in the white dress murmured softly, "If I drink with you now, I can drink two or three of you."
"I've been taking care of the wooden bed that you like to sleep on. It has been preserved for so many years, and it hasn't been eaten by worms."
"As long as you want, we can drink from three o 'clock in the morning to midnight, and then sleep from midnight to three o' clock in the morning."
"It's just that it's hard for me to change my bad habit of arguing with you. But if you're willing to come back earlier, I'll try my best to change it. I'll try my best to talk less to you …"
Hu Yuexin nagged as if there was no point in her speech.
But in the end, she smiled brightly, and her pale face became redder. "I've never forgotten what you taught me in the past."
"No matter how bumpy, how difficult, and how hopeless the road ahead is, I've never wavered. I'll do my best for the revival of our orthodox Daoism, to sweep away the heretics, and to clear the universe."
"I've gotten the Heavenly Essence Stone fragment that you mentioned in the past. I'll also do my best to prevent this treasure from falling into the hands of the heretics."
"Even though my fate has come to an end today, I have a successor, and the torch will be passed on. Just like what you taught me all those years ago, I believe that my successors will also persevere, and they will eventually wait until the day when the evil is cleared and the chaos is restored."
The redness on Hu Yuexin's face started fading away, and the light in her eyes started dimming. She was really on the verge of death.
Within her pupils, the figure of a beautiful lady in green dress appeared. That was the Exalted Wood Luminary – Shao Junhuang.
"I won't be able to see that day, but our successor will definitely be able to see it … I hope that master can also see it when you return in the future."
Hu Yuexin's voice gradually became lower, and her breath gradually became weaker.
The figure that appeared deep within her pupils gradually turned into another person's appearance.
It was a young man in black clothes with a white robe draped over his shoulders. His long black hair draped over his back.
His facial features were clearly similar to the Dim Radiant Emperor – Yin Tianxia that Yan Zhaoge and the others knew.
However, compared to the familiar image that Yin Tianxia left to others, this man was much younger.
At the same time, the Yin Tianxia in Yan Zhaoge and the others' memories had long black hair and pure white eyebrows.
This young man's eyebrows were still black.
However, the pair of calm eyes with distinct black and white were exactly the same as the one in Yan Zhaoge and the others' memories.
"I know that it's not good for me to always be late. Especially this time, I'm late for a few hundred years." The lady in white dress' neck gradually lost the strength to support her head. Her head drooped lower and lower, "However, I guarantee that this will be the last time."
"Hundred Rivers, I'm coming."
In the end, her voice became so soft that it couldn't be heard anymore.
The lady in white dress sat stiffly on the spot. Her head drooped, and she no longer breathed.
The Bright Connection Emperor – Hu Yuexin finally passed away in a foreign dimension within this Starry River Tributary.
Within the scene, her remains gradually changed, and radiances extended from within.
Vigorous vitality erupted, and in the end, her figure disappeared. Only a sapling was left rooted on the spot, and its branches and leaves curled up. In the end, it turned into a towering divine tree.
Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng stood on the spot and watched this scene in silence.
After a long time, the two of them bowed towards the Canghua Divine Tree.
"Is that the Dim Radiant Emperor?" asked Feng Yunsheng softly.
"Yes." Yan Zhaoge quietly answered, "Yin Baichuan is the Dim Radiant Emperor's original name. After he succeeded the position of the Dim Radiant Sect's sect master, he changed his name to Yin Tianxia."
He turned his head and looked at Chen Qianhua with a cold gaze.
"You're satisfied just like that?" Chen Qianhua's expression was filled with disgust, "Being unexpected is the greatest joy in living. What joy is there in knowing something?"
Yan Zhaoge coldly said, "Some people, some matters, don't allow you to find joy in them. Who do you think you are?"
