(The Story of Choosing Heaven has released its first trailer. To be precise, it's a trailer. It's very short, but just like me, we're mainly looking at the aura … It's not bad. I've posted it on my official WeChat account and Weibo. Everyone can go take a look.)

…
As he gazed at the pear tree in front of the Night Hall and the pear blossoms falling on Madam Mu's body, Chen Changsheng very naturally recalled the sight he had seen a few days ago.
The pear tree on the observation deck had been chopped into invisible dust by his sword. He had learned the story of the man in the painting through Luoluo.
While he was moved by Luoluo's deep affection, he also thought about how Madam Mu had expended considerable effort to have Luoluo accept the Demon Lord.
She should love her only daughter very much, so why was she so heartless in this marriage?
If that conjecture was true, then why was she so cold-blooded after being in love with Bai Di for so many years?
What kind of person was she?
"The Xiang clan is just like their bodies: tall, heavy, and cold, like uninteresting mountains."
Madam Mu said, "Your Holiness the Pope was able to ignore their existences and come here. Your methods are truly impressive."
She was praising Chen Chang Sheng, but her line of sight didn't fall upon him. Instead, she was still looking into the distance in the darkness.
That should be the north side.
"When I was very young, my teacher used a sentence to praise Senior Brother. At the same time, it was also to educate me. That sentence was' A thousand words are not equal to a single silence '."
Chen Chang Sheng said, "From then on, I spoke much less, but in the end, I'm still not as good as my senior. I can't help but want to talk. I want to talk to the fish in the stream, I want to talk to the books in the temple, and every time I do that, I would feel guilty. Even now, when I talk to Thirty-Six, I still have this feeling."
Madam Mu replied, "His Majesty the Emperor has always been a mute."
"Senior Brother comforted me in the same way."
Chen Chang Sheng was silent for a while, then he continued, "So later on, I changed that sentence into one word, and followed it accordingly."
Madam Mu asked, "Which character?"
Chen Chang Sheng said, "Thousands of words cannot be said all at once."
Madam Mu slowly arched her brows and asked, "Wang Po's' straight '?"
Chen Chang Sheng said, "Correct. I can't be conservative and inflexible. If I think too much and say too much, it's easy for me to make too many mistakes. Since that's the case, why not be more direct? As long as you believe that what you're doing is reasonable, then just do it. "
Madam Mu replied, "This is a right and wrong, that is also a right and wrong."
Chen Chang Sheng said, "But at least Wang Po and I believe in right and wrong."
Madam Mu continued, "So tonight, you can cut straight to the chase and come before me?"
Chen Chang Sheng said, "If you hold your sword and walk straight, you will usually reach your destination faster."
Madam Mu sighed, "I have cultivated my entire life without hindrance, but I truly am prone to wavering in my decisions. Perhaps this is the innate weakness of women?"
"Mother …"
Luoluo called out softly, wanting to say something but hesitating.
Madam Mu's lips perked up, her voice tinged with derision as she said, "In truth, a girl's extroversion is also a weakness."
Luoluo was a little sad and didn't say anything.
"His Holiness the Pope is right. We should be more straightforward when doing things."
Madam Mu said, "On that day on the observation platform, I should have just killed you."
As she spoke, she still did not look at Chen Chang Sheng, but into the distance in the darkness.
In the depths of her eyes was an extremely faint hint of exhaustion and regret.
Was she regretting that she had not killed Chen Chang Sheng that day, or was she regretting something else?
Just where was she looking at?
On this side of the sea, on the other side of the mountain, across from the lake was a black cliff, the cliff covered in ice and snow that had accumulated for tens of thousands of years.
Her gaze had always rested on this place, her regret deepening, her emotions fading, and her killing intent rising.
A wind blew in from the Western Sea. The countless snowy peaks under the night sky did not change, but the ice and snow that had accumulated on the black cliff for tens of thousands of years rustled down.
The ice and snow were torn to shreds by the cold wind and then swirled up, howling against the cliff and the surrounding trees.
Xiaode waved his hand and pulverized a thick and heavy tree. He raised his head in the direction of White Emperor City, the brown and yellow in his eyes growing deeper and deeper, making him seem extremely ruthless. Jin Yulu stood behind him, squinting in the same direction, his gaze cold and sharp to the extreme.
They could sense the boundless divine might contained in the sea wind, but they would not retreat a single step. They were prepared to fight to the death.
The White Emperor was in the black cliff behind them.
Chen Chang Sheng had already used the South Stream Temple sword array to gradually grind out a weak spot in the sealing array. With just a little more time, they would be able to see the White Emperor. Even if their and Chen Chang Sheng's worst guesses came true, they would at least be able to prove Madam Mu's scheme.
Madam Mu could not just watch as this scene unfolded.
She would definitely stop it all.
Xiaode and Jin Yulu had already mentally prepared themselves for this.
In the last few days, when Chen Chang Sheng had been sitting in front of the black cliff, resisting the sealing array, they had been silently watching their surroundings.
They were waiting for the countless demi-human experts to surge in like a tide, waiting for the demi-human army to cover the entire mountain like black snow.
They were waiting for Madam Mu to personally act.
Just like now.
In the next moment, the ice and snow falling from the cliff suddenly vanished, as did the howling. Everything became quiet.
It was like that wind from the Western Sea had never appeared, that it had always been chasing after the clouds over the sea.
Xiaode and Jin Yulu glanced at each other. They were very confused, but they did not let down their guard. On the contrary, they felt even more uneasy.
… …
… …
"Since you wanted to kill me, why did you change your mind?"
Chen Chang Sheng did not know what had happened in the Starfall Mountains, but he could sense the change in Madam Mu's Qi.
More importantly, outside the Imperial City, the Xiang clan leader and those demi-human experts that had torn through the darkness had indicated that she truly did want to kill him. But in the end, the Xiang clan leader and those demi-human experts did not attack Chen Chang Sheng, only silently watched as he walked into the Imperial City.
Madam Mu finally drew back her gaze from the distant mountains.
She looked at Chen Chang Sheng and said, "Your Holiness the Pope's question sounds very much like an invitation."
Chen Chang Sheng replied, "If you can bear the consequences."
Madam Mu fell quiet for a while, then asked, "Besides that teacher of yours, who else can bear it?"
Chen Chang Sheng replied, "But there are still many people that want to kill me, perhaps because they have nothing to worry about."
"If there is nothing to worry about, there is naturally nothing to worry about."
Madam Mu said, "I do not like this place, never have, but in this world, there will always be something to worry about."
As she said this, she did not look at Luoluo, but at White Emperor City in the darkness.
But in truth, she might have been looking even further away.
The world was vast and all living things were within it. Although the Great Western Continent was far away, it was also within it.
Luoluo lowered her head, her mood even sadder.
"In truth, in those years, I always envied Tianhai, because whether in terms of cultivation or willpower, she was infinitely close to the shore of freedom. There were even times when her existence made me doubt the views I had formed when I was a child."
Madam Mu looked at Chen Chang Sheng and said, "But in the end, she still died at your hand."
Chen Chang Sheng said nothing.
Madam Mu finally said, "This matter taught me a lesson and also made me understand many things. Since we cultivate the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao is emotionless, then if we want to last and finally reach the Great Dao, we must sever all emotions and extinguish our natures. "
