    Chapter 61

    Tan Zhui went to see Granny Qiqi Ge when the sky was bright, entrusting her to take good care of Sui Chunsheng. He also remembered to send some supplies to the villagers before leaving.

    Yue Shanglan had been waiting for him for a long time and finally saw him return.

    “You’ve finally come back, the Nine Heavens are in complete chaos.” Yue Shanglan saw him and almost cried out.

    Tan Zhui: “What happened?”

    Yue Shanglan quickly said, “During the time you were gone, remnants of the Xiu Luo clan appeared in various immortal sects. Many fellow disciples were killing each other. Only the Heavenly Medicine Sect was not affected, thanks to your Phoenix Feather. As soon as the incident happened, the Heavenly Medicine Sect used it to activate the sect’s protective formation, and this is how they were spared.”

    During Tan Zhui’s absence, many things had happened in the Nine Heavens, which was also within expectations.

    Although Furong had always been a member of the Xiu Luo clan, he had been hiding in Fangcun Mountain for five hundred years without any intention of rebellion. For him, exposing his identity was not a good thing.

    However, Hua Zhi deliberately triggered the Xiu Luo bloodline in him, just to use his power to revive the Xiu Luo clan. But this matter was exposed, and these remnants of the Xiu Luo clan simply broke the pot and started to disintegrate various immortal sects.

    It was because of this that everyone suddenly realized that these remnants of the Xiu Luo clan had already infiltrated this deeply.

    The upper realm was in complete chaos. Yue Shanglan was busy running around, constantly urging the White Deer Immortal to return.

    Yue Shanglan tugged at Tan Zhui, “Kunlun Void is also in chaos, but Mother has almost cleaned it up. There are still a few disciples whose minds have been bewitched, but they are about to recover.”

    “The most serious one is Hundred Phoenix Gate. The casualties inside are very severe.”

    “Zhou You that fellow said that the Hundred Turns Thousand Return Pill in your body is the best thing to restrain these Xiu Luo auras. But now it has already merged with you, I’m afraid it won’t work anymore.”

    Tan Zhui followed behind him and suddenly stopped, saying, “No, it can work.”

    Yue Shanglan was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, “How can it work? It has already merged with your immortal marrow, could it be that you will extract your immortal marrow to use?”

    Tan Zhui met his gaze, and Yue Shanglan was so frightened that he almost couldn’t speak. He immediately said, “No! No! This immortal marrow is part of your body, how could you extract it just like that!”

    “Are you going to die?”

    Tan Zhui: “Now the Nine Heavens has been infiltrated by the remnants of the Xiu Luo clan. The situation in the middle and lower realms will only be more serious. At this moment, it is precisely because the Hundred Turns Thousand Return Pill has merged with my immortal marrow that there is a chance to annihilate them in one fell swoop.”

    The White Deer Immortal knew that if the immortal marrow left his body, the sealed divine power would suddenly erupt. If the immortal marrow could be detonated in an instant, countless fragments of divine power could be scattered throughout the Nine Heavens. Those divine powers would fall layer by layer with the clouds of the Nine Heavens.

    By then, the upper, middle, and lower three realms would be completely cleaned up.

    But at the same time, the pain of the immortal marrow leaving the body would naturally go without saying.

    This thing was something he was born with. Now, if he wanted to extract and detonate it, there couldn’t be a single mistake. If he was careless, he would be doomed to eternal damnation and would immediately perish.

    Yue Shanglan looked at the silent him, sighed helplessly, and said, “You thought it all out a long time ago?”

    Tan Zhui hummed, “This is the only way right now. If I succeed…”

    Yue Shanglan immediately said, “If you fail, you will die!”

    Tan Zhui paused for a moment, and then smiled, “Alan, I’ve lived long enough.”

    He waved his sleeves, and a mirage of water and moon appeared on the clouds beneath them, vast and boundless.

    Through this brief mirage, one could see scenes from all over the three realms.

    The young immortal lords fighting against the Xiu Luo Demon Soul in the Nine Heavens, those in the middle realm immortal sects who, because they could not eradicate the evil, committed suicide to preserve their sects, and ordinary people in the lower realm, unaware of what Xiu Luo was, could only suffer in the dark, struggling and failing to survive.

    A cry interrupted the chaotic, struggling, and desperate cries for help.

    Suddenly, everything became very quiet.

    Only the lullaby softly hummed by a mother cradling her child, putting him to sleep.

    The baby’s cries were gradually soothed, leaving only the murmurings of dreams.

    Tan Zhui lowered his eyes to look at it, and the mirage of the water and moon on the clouds dissipated with the divine power, leaving only the remaining turbulence.

    “I have lived long enough, while they have just begun.”

    He said.

    His deep blue eyes slowly lowered. The green gem between the deity’s brows was so dazzling, as if it carried a faint divine light, lingering around his side.

    The immortal in the clouds had an arrogant and noble demeanor, but the compassion in his eyes was hard to conceal.

    The aloofness on his body was no longer so piercing, but gentle, like the divine nature that mortals could see when they looked up.

    He slowly closed his eyes, as if he could once again hear the wails of the immortal disciples in the Nine Heavens, the sound of blood splattering as they struggled to commit suicide, and the cries for help, mixed into a single sound.

    Yue Shanglan followed Tan Zhui to the front of the Heaven-Reaching Mirror. This was the highest place in the Nine Heavens, also the beginning of the three thousand worlds.

    Yue Shanglan’s mood was very complicated. For him, he only cared whether the people around him could live well, his relatives, lovers, and closest friends.

    He was just a mundane immortal. And because of this, he has never broken through any profound realms, and after ascending, there had never been anything earth-shattering.

    He couldn’t understand why his best friend Tan Zhui was like this, but he could understand why the White Deer Immortal was like this.

    A figure in moonlight stood in the highest place in the Nine Heavens.

    That figure was becoming increasingly dazzling, and the light on his chest was becoming more and more intense. The jade green light was enveloped by snow-white frost, pouring outwards.

    Tan Zhui slowly reached out his hand, his fingertips were already swallowed by his chest, and the pain forced him to frown tightly.

    He seemed to have grabbed it, the immortal marrow that had long been sealed.

    That painful groan sounded, and with his action of extracting the immortal marrow, it became more and more deafening, but it was still firm, without trembling, only tearing.

    A frozen, jade green immortal marrow was completely extracted from his body.

    At the moment when it completely left his body, it seemed possible to see his soul consciousness briefly leaving his body, trembling, and then being repeatedly pulled back.

    The jade green immortal marrow instantly swallowed the surrounding frost power, and the two completely merged, rather than one suppressing the other.

    The immortal marrow was like a sharp blade, hanging above the White Deer Immortal’s head, above the three realms.

    The White Deer Immortal’s eyes were red with pain. He curled the corner of his lips and softly said, “Break.”

    Yue Shanglan finally couldn’t help but shout, “Azhui!”

    The huge blade was like a mountain-suppressing stone, instantly shattering above his head. The divine power imprisoned within burst out in an instant, like countless cascading waterfalls, heading in all directions.

    The light was so blinding that Yue Shanglan was forced to prostrate on the ground, subconsciously looking up, calling Tan Zhui’s name, hoping for a response.

    The heavens and time were all gone, and the light illuminated the entire Nine Heavens, shining down upon the three realms.

    Everyone in the immortal sects looked towards the light in the sky, as countless ribbons covered the sky, enveloping it, and then scattering upon everyone, turning into a shimmering divine light.

    At this moment, everything returned to zero, turning into a re-incarnating, empty void.

    Yin and Yang were unified, and all things were reborn.

    In the lowest place of this world, a youth in the barrenness seemed to feel the abundant, purifying divine power.

    His eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

    When the divine light scattered, the disciples of the immortal sects finally reacted.

    Someone shouted, “It’s the White Deer Immortal, the deity has returned! He saved us—”

    “That’s great, the deity has returned! The deity has returned!—”

    Cheers rang out in the Nine Heavens.

    Moonlight fell to the ground, and Yue Shanglan hurriedly climbed up and pulled the person into his arms.

    “Azhui, Azhui?” His voice was choked, and he cried out uselessly.

    Yue Shanglan reached out to pat Tan Zhui’s cheeks, constantly calling out.

    Until a soft voice responded to him.

    Tan Zhui slowly opened a crack in his eyes, and said softly and helplessly, “Don’t pat my face…”

    Yue Shanglan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and cried even louder.

    “You scared me to death, you scared me to death… I’m not playing with you anymore, you always scare me… I’ll never pay attention to you again, I’m going to break up with you, I’m going to break up with you, wuwuwuwu…”

    Tan Zhui couldn’t help but chuckle, his voice still weak, “Useless, you’ve always loved to cry since you were little…”

    Yue Shanglan was annoyed and punched him twice, “You still have the nerve to laugh, I’m just useless, you have the ability to not play with me.”

    Tan Zhui immediately cried out in pain, “Hiss…”

    Yue Shanglan reacted and quickly said, “Did I hurt you? I’m sorry, I’ll take you to find Old Man Zhou You, let him fix you up, maybe it can grow back.”

    Tan Zhui obediently lay on Yue Shanglan’s back and said softly, “Grow what? I don’t lack immortal marrow.”

    Yue Shanglan muttered, “One is always not as good as two, anyway, you still need to fix it up, your body is too weak…”

    Yue Shanglan nagged all the way. Tan Zhui originally wanted to sleep on his back for a while, but he was so bothered that he couldn’t fall asleep, but he couldn’t fully wake up either.

    Finally, when they arrived at the Heavenly Medicine Sect, Tan Zhui was able to fully wake up.

    Elder Zhou You was really shocked to see Tan Zhui’s pale face.

    He quickly stepped forward to take his pulse and check him. After the examination, he was relieved instead.

    Zhou You: “Good, really good.”

    Yue Shanglan almost slammed the old man, “What’s good, he’s like this, and you’re still saying good, good, can you treat diseases?”

    Zhou You hurriedly explained, “Although the immortal marrow has left the body, the Hundred Turns Thousand Return Pill has also disappeared with it, and even the Xiu Luo Essence has also been detonated.”

    “This is of course a good thing!”

    Yue Shanglan quickly said that he didn’t understand, “No matter what, you just tell me if this will hurt Azhui or not?”

    Zhou You stroked his beard and said, “Those foreign things have disappeared with it, which is a blessing in disguise for the deity. The other immortal marrow in the deity’s body will cultivate like it has divine assistance, and he doesn’t have to be restricted anymore. The deity will no longer be tormented by the essence and the Hundred Turns Thousand Return Pill in the future.”

    Yue Shanglan finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the last part.

    “That’s good, I see Azhui’s face is so pale, old man, you must fix him up well.”

    Zhou You said, “Naturally, naturally, just rest for a bit, and the deity will be able to recover as before.”

    Tan Zhui, who had been silent for a long time, slowly opened his mouth and said, “Please, Elder Zhou You, change the way you put this matter.”

    Zhou You subconsciously looked around, waved his hand to close the door, and placed a layer of isolation barrier before listening attentively.
