Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 374 A Glimpse Between Heaven and Man
As the last section of the Heavenly Pillar vanished into the clouds, Po Jun's sleeves billowed, and his pale fingertips plucked a wisp of remaining golden light, feeling immense joy in his heart.

One of the nine celestial pillars has been removed; it's truly exhilarating.

However, Po Jun's complexion was extremely poor, clearly indicating that destroying the Heavenly Pillar had consumed too much spiritual energy.

He looked up at the sky and thought to himself that the Heavenly Chains should have arrived by now, so why has there been no movement until now?

In the past, every time he shattered the Heavenly Pillar, he would have to entangle himself with the Heavenly Dao, and he was already used to it.

But today's situation is rather strange.

But it doesn't matter, it's best if the chains of Heaven don't come.

Po Jun looked down at Yun Yi. That person not only killed the Divine Calculator, but also shattered the Xuanjia Puppet. He was really courting death!
Little did they know that changes had already taken place in the celestial realm. What seemed like merely the arrival of a woman could actually lead to countless unforeseen events.

At this moment, Song Xinci sat on the red bean tree, gazing into the distance at the place in the heavens where strange colors appeared.

Thunder roared there, and the pillar of heaven vanished, as if the heavens themselves had fallen by half an inch.

The golden phantom asked, "Aren't you going to make a move?"

Song Xinci asked, "What would happen if the sky collapsed?"

"The heavens have fallen to earth, and you will no longer be high above."

"It doesn't sound like a big deal."

The golden phantom sighed. After spending some time together, he finally realized one thing: he couldn't interfere with Song Xinci's every move.

Since she completed the Heavenly Dao with the "Supreme Way of Forgetting Emotions", she has become a part of the Heavenly Dao herself, and no one can command her to do anything.

Everything can only be done according to her wishes.

Unexpectedly, all the effort he put into getting her to ascend to heaven ended up finding an ancestor for the celestial realm.

Every time the golden phantom thought of this, its normally calm and composed state of mind would waver.

Song Xinci then added, "But this person seems rather annoying."

Her gaze pierced through the hole left by the broken pillar and stared at the blood-red Po Jun.

As her gaze fell upon the earth, strange phenomena appeared.

The sky seemed to crack open, silently opening a giant eye, with the gap in the pillar of heaven right at the pupil.

This scene was extremely oppressive, making Po Jun feel breathless and filled with fear.

For some reason, the ways of Heaven seem to have changed... becoming more unpredictable and unfathomable.

The golden phantom asked, "Why do you dislike this person?"

Song Xinci replied calmly, "He shouldn't have harbored murderous intent towards someone."

"Yun Yi?"

Song Xinci did not answer, but simply raised her left hand and stared blankly at the words on her palm.

She shouldn't have any emotions, but the thought of Yun Yi being easily killed by that Ascension Realm cultivator made her somewhat displeased.

The golden phantom advised, "You shouldn't be moved by emotions, and you certainly shouldn't offer help because of it; that would break the rules."

Song Xinci said disdainfully, "According to the rules, this person damaged the Heavenly Pillar, and his crime deserves to be punished by death."

The golden phantom was speechless.

Outside the Moon Palace, the red bean tree trembled slightly, its branches and leaves rustling, and countless crimson lights appeared and disappeared.

Song Xinci casually picked a blood-red bean from a branch and examined it carefully on her fingertips.

I don’t know what I’m thinking about.

Then, she threw the red beans into the hole created by the destruction of the Heavenly Pillar.

Red beans, bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight, descended from the sky; seemingly insignificant, yet imbued with the power of the Heavenly Dao—

Having just left the celestial realm and entered the mortal world, the heavens and earth paled in comparison, as if a star had fallen. Po Jun was startled to feel a sharp pain in his soul, never expecting that what descended this time was not the chains of the Heavenly Dao, but an inconspicuous red bean.

The Heavenly Way has changed its methods!

When Yun Yi saw the red bean, his pupils shrank drastically, and he was extremely shocked.

Red beans, a path of longing! My wife took a red bean with her when she ascended to heaven, could this be...?

He looked up into the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, his gaze seemingly yearning to break through all obstacles and land beside his wife to see how she was doing.

Whether you sleep soundly, whether you are in good health, whether your mind is free of worries and completely at peace...

Do you still remember that there is someone in this world who can never forget her?
The red bean came so fast that Po Jun almost didn't have time to dodge, and only managed to avoid the red color with all his might.

Nevertheless, the red bean exploded beside him, turning into a cloud of mist that instantly grew wildly, using the Heavenly Puppet Dao as nourishment, and took root in the sky.

Fallen leaves take root, bloom into alluring red flowers, and then wither and decay; one withers and the other flourishes, all in the blink of an eye!
Po Jun couldn't dodge in time and felt that half of the Great Dao within his body was absorbed by the red bean. At the same time, his physical body was also drawn into the spiritual energy fluctuations generated between decay and prosperity.

He had to cut off his own arm in order to barely escape the Heavenly Dao's offensive.

At this moment, Po Jun no longer cared about the Xuanjia puppet or the nine-tailed fox. He used all his strength to transform into a stream of light and escape into the distance.

They arrived with such style, and left in such a sorry state.

Seeing that his backer had left and his companions were all dead, Zhao Wuxiang also abandoned his two clones and fled the place.

Wen Daoxian had to protect the people behind him and was busy dealing with the self-destructing clones of Wuxiang.

Yun Yi showed no intention of chasing after them, instead focusing on looking up at the sky, trying to discern some clues.

He felt at ease as long as he could see a glimpse of his wife's clothes.

Even though they were separated by death, Song Xinci could feel the intensity of that gaze, and her heart couldn't help but flutter with unease.

She sat atop a red bean tree, her white robes draped over the branches, a cool touch lingering on her fingertips, her eyes filled with barely concealed panic.

The golden phantom reminded, "That's enough."

Song Xinci: "Is that enough?"

At this moment, she longed to take a good look at the person in the human world, whose appearance should be almost identical to the puppet in her hands.

Although they were separated by thousands of miles and could not meet, she still remembered what he looked like.

Every detail is perfect.

Song Xinci finally couldn't hold back any longer and gazed at the human world through the collapsed pillar of heaven. Her glass-like eyes reflected Yun Yi's figure holding a sword and looking up.

His clothes were stained with blood, but he stubbornly raised his head, his gaze seemingly wanting to tear the sky apart.

The moment their eyes met across the distance, the longing for each other seemed to vanish, but in reality, it was buried deep in someone's heart.

A ripple stirred in Song Xinci's heart. Suddenly, a breeze swept through the moon palace, lifting the black hair at her temples and brushing against her red lips.

It felt like the sensation of being gently kissed by him.

Unfortunately, there was no time to examine it closely, as the gap quickly healed, and then all that remained before Song Xinci's eyes was a vast expanse of white.

Everything is as it was yesterday.

The golden phantom dared not speak, but simply stared at Song Xinci until it saw her return to normal, at which point it finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Yi's pupils turned bloodshot. In a daze, he recalled the night of their wedding night, and the image of his wife lingered in his mind.

I say I don't miss you, but how could I not miss you?
It wasn't until the Fangyuan Sword emitted a buzzing sound, reminding Yun Yi that the Heavenly Pillar here was damaged and he should not linger, that he suddenly came to his senses.

Yunyi and Wendao met up, just as Chunli finally opened the barrier formed by the snow-white nine-tailed fox on the Pillow Cloud Terrace.

Her eyes were filled with endless fatigue, while Bai Ze was full of energy.
