Chapter 254 A Three-Lifetime Romance Ends Today, Take Care!

The white-haired man in black robes glanced at him sideways.
"Master, you have a good eye. It can only be said that you all have done a good job in teaching. Your eldest disciple never had any intention of destroying the world."

"Everything I, the embodiment of evil thoughts, have done is for the purpose of severing the connection between heaven and earth. Now, I am only one step away from success."

He looked up at the sky:
"I will transform myself into the array diagram to completely perfect the great array, so that gods, demons, and monsters will never be able to invade the human world again."

Master Qingwei sighed:

“Foolish child, Changqing must be your backup plan. Let him help you guard the mortal realm, then you will have no more worries.”

Upon hearing this, Qing'er quickly asked:
"Master, are you going to leave Qing'er?"

As she clung to the white-haired, black-robed man's leg, a thought flickered in her mind. Just as she was about to manipulate the Five Spirit Pearls, all five pearls fell into the Holy Maiden's hands.

"Heh, as expected of my disciple, he actually harbors the ambition to overthrow the Heavenly Shackles."

Zhuang Buran flicked his sleeve, and Qing'er landed in the Holy Maiden's arms, bursting into tears the instant she did so.
"Master, I don't want you to leave. My mother doesn't like me at all!"

"Qing'er, life is full of partings. If you want to see your master again, then cultivate diligently. When you obtain great supernatural powers, everything you wish for will come true."

The white-haired man in black robes emitted a burst of black light, transforming into a sky-covering, innate Tai Chi Bagua diagram. The diagram was hidden between heaven and earth, and a young man in white robes carrying a sword leaped onto the plaza.

"Changqing!"

"Big Brother!"

After Zi Xuan and many other Shu Mountain disciples shouted in succession, Jing Tian, ​​whose body was covered in black from being struck, immediately walked over:

"White Tofu, you're finally back! Your daughter was too ruthless. Look what she did to me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Buran raised his hand and aimed it at Jing Tian. A burst of energy erupted from his palm, and Jing Tian's injuries visibly healed.

At this moment, Qing'er broke free from the Holy Maiden's hands, flew to the white-robed, sword-wielding youth, and stared blankly at him.

Zixuan, who had already reached Zhuang Buran's side, immediately introduced:
"Changqing, this is our daughter Qing'er."

"Although I was swallowed by the evil spirit, I can still sense what's happening outside." Zhuang Buran squatted down and gently pinched Qing'er's little nose:

"Don't cry. Your master hasn't really left. He's just accompanying you in another form. From now on, your father can stay with you."

Qing'er's little face froze for a moment. Picking her nose was clearly her master's favorite thing to do. She was about to say something when she quickly realized what was happening, angrily taking a few steps back and saying:

"I have no mother or father, all I want is for my master to come back."

After saying that, she waved her hand, and the Five Elemental Pearls flew back from the Holy Maiden. Then she rode the Water Demon Beast away.

"Qinger!"

The Holy Maiden hurriedly chased after her.

Seeing the white-robed, sword-wielding youth looking at her, Zi Xuan instinctively touched her face, quickly averting her gaze, and whispered:
"Have I gotten a lot older?"

Zhuang Buran asked softly in return:
"Haven't you let go yet?"

Master Qingwei walked over and asked, "Do you know how to truly love someone?"

He said earnestly:
"To truly love someone is to let go. In doing so, you are not only fulfilling the other person's wishes, but also fulfilling the wishes of the person you love."

Zixuan glanced down at the strands of white hair falling over her shoulders, and said casually:
"Daoist Master, I came to Mount Shu to eliminate the great demon in the human world and save Qing'er. Now that the demon has passed away, Qing'er is safe and sound, and Changqing's life is out of danger, it is time for me to let go and leave."

Master Qingxu understood that the descendant of Nuwa before him did not have much time left, and said:

"Changqing, Miss Zixuan is in poor health, so you should take her back to the Nanzhao Kingdom."

"Yes."

The white-clad youth carrying a sword transformed into a celestial ship and led Zixuan to the Nanzhao Kingdom. Three hundred miles away from Mount Shu, they encountered Qing'er and the Holy Maiden.

Then the Holy Maiden led a reluctant Qing'er onto the fairy ship.

evening.

On the celestial ship, a little one tiptoed into a bedroom and saw a young man in white robes carrying a sword sitting cross-legged on the bed.

"Ahem, are you really my master?"

"You little rascal, tell us your guesses." Zhuang Buran opened his eyes.

Qing'er chuckled:
"Master is Father, and Father is Master. From beginning to end, Master and Father are the same person, isn't that right?"

Zhuang Buran's black hair shimmered with silver, white, and black. After his hair turned into crystal-clear silver, it returned to its natural state and became ordinary white hair.

“Master, Qing’er knew you wouldn’t die. She was just trying to cover it up.”

Qing'er suddenly threw herself into Zhuang Buran's arms.

"People will eventually part ways, but I'm only doing this because you're still young."

"Hmph, you just love scaring Qing'er," Qing'er said unhappily.

"From now on, you will stay in the Nanzhao Kingdom and learn the immortal arts of the Nuwa lineage from the Holy Maiden. Remember to study diligently."

"Qing'er doesn't want that. I have a master to teach me, that's enough."

"Even though your mother has many faults, don't you want to spend some time with her in her final days?"

"Alright, out of consideration for the debt of giving birth to me, I'll stay in Nanzhao for a while."

"Don't even think about leaving the Nanzhao Kingdom until you've mastered all the magic of Nuwa's lineage. I'll come to your dreams tonight to test your abilities."

Qing'er made a pitiful little face:
“Master, you scared me during the day, and now you’re so strict. If this continues, you’ll lose me.”

Zhuang Buran gently flicked her forehead:
"Playing the victim requires tears."

Qing'er deliberately cried out in pain, drawing out her voice as she protested:
"Master."

The next day.

The young man in white, carrying a sword, stood with his hands behind his back at the bow of the ship. Zi Xuan stepped out of the cabin and slowly walked to the bow.

"Within the territory of the Nanzhao Kingdom, there is a kind of 'forget-love water' that can make lovers forget everything."

Zhuang Buran calmly said:

“Even if we go, we won’t drink it, because true letting go means only remembering can prevent us from falling in love.” “Changqing, in this life, did you truly fall in love with me?”

"It doesn't matter whether I've fallen in love or not, because I've already broken through the barrier of love in this life. Just like I love you, but I won't depend on you; I miss you, but I can live without you; I hate you, but I can also bless you at the same time."

"I hate you, but I can also treat you calmly."

"If one day I lose you, I will still be grateful for having had you. This is the state of being without love or hate, but with the movement of love and hate."

After hearing this, Zi Xuan fell silent for a long time. Like the white-robed, sword-wielding youth, she gazed at the breathtaking blue sky and white clouds, and softly said:
"The Nanzhao Kingdom has no snow all year round. I really want to see what it would be like to see a heavy snowfall."

Zhuang Bu Ran spoke calmly:
"If you talk to Qing'er, she will definitely help you do it."

Upon hearing this, Zixuan's eyes dimmed, as if she had given up completely.

Two days later.

The Five Elders of Shushan gradually retreated into the background after their "Supreme Purity Method" was broken, which greatly reduced their power. Another reason was that their lifespan was not long, and they could only hold on for a dozen or twenty years at most.

From then on, Master Qingwei stepped down as sect leader, making his eldest disciple the twenty-third generation sect leader of Shushan, and appointing Changyin as the head of all elders of Shushan, the Grand Elder of the Primordial Spirit.

Three years later, in the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Outside the Nuwa Temple, lay a woman in purple robes with snow-white hair and a pale, bloodless face.

A girl who looked to be five or six years old was standing in the distance when suddenly a ray of light fell beside her and transformed into a Taoist priest in purple robes.

"Father, you've come." Qing'er's expression was downcast.
“For the past few years, she has liked to stay outside the temple, always looking up at the sky, as if she is expecting something. Now, at the last moment, she still asked me to bring her out.”

“If your mother puts this energy into her spiritual practice and continues to persevere, I believe she will achieve extraordinary success.”

"Father, do you really have no way to deal with the death of Nuwa's descendant due to the exhaustion of her spiritual power?"

Zhuang Bu Ran smiled and said:

"Your mother has frozen you in ice for one or two hundred years. Today, let's give her a taste of her own medicine, shall we?"

Qing'er was taken aback, then exclaimed in delight:
"Father, do you have a way?"

With a wave of his sleeve, Zhuang Buran caused a sudden snowfall in the Nanzhao Kingdom. In no time, the snow piled up on the eaves like white cotton hats, the meadows were covered in snow like woolen blankets, and the thin ice on the lake surface sparkled like diamonds.

But then, Zixuan, who was lying on the chair, half asleep, suddenly opened her eyes when she felt the cold around her. A happy smile immediately appeared on her pale face.

As if in a final burst of energy, he roused himself, slowly stood up, and stretched out his hands to catch the falling snowflakes.

"We have previously analyzed Nuwa's bloodline. As long as you strip away all the divinity from your mother's body, you can escape this calamity."

"Because even the divinity rooted in the soul must be stripped away, and the physical body must be reshaped, it will take longer."

"No wonder Father said he would freeze it for one or two hundred years."

"Actually, it doesn't need to take that long, thirty years is enough. Isn't this just to help you get revenge?"

“I knew Father loved Qing’er the most. I’m magnanimous and won’t hold a grudge. I’ll just freeze her for thirty years.”

As the two were chatting and laughing, they noticed that the woman in purple had looked over and had taken notice of them.

"Changqing, thank you very much."

Zixuan smiled and pointed to the magnificent and majestic mountains in the distance, saying:
May your landscape be as magnificent as the mountains and rivers you enjoy, with its ever-flowing winds and clouds!

No sooner had the words been spoken than a human-shaped ice sculpture appeared outside the Nuwa Temple.

Time flies like an arrow, and thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Shushan has also welcomed a new leader, Dugu Yuyun, who has made a name for himself as a sword saint in the martial arts world.

The Nanzhao Kingdom.

Outside the Nuwa Temple, a tall, graceful young woman in a blue dress was intimately linked with a slightly languid young man in white.

"Qing'er, you're not a child anymore. You were the goddess who deposed the Witch King of Nanzhao and led the people of Nanzhao to prosperity. How come you still act like a child?"

"I am my father's daughter. As for the matter of the Nanzhao Kingdom, it was merely something I did incidentally," Qing'er said with a smile.

"Father, you have finally relinquished your position as the head of the Shu Mountain Sect. Will you be residing in the Nanzhao Kingdom from now on?"

"No rush, let's get down to business first."

Before long, in a bedroom in the temple, the bed was covered in a white mist, with steam constantly billowing out.

As the mist solidified, it revealed a slender-waisted, long-legged woman in purple robes with a graceful figure.

Her eyelids twitched slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. Completely bewildered, she sat up and, seeing the young man in white before the bed, exclaimed with delight:

"Changqing!"

Zi Xuan shifted her gaze to the side, and tentatively spoke after a moment's thought:
"Qing'er?"

"Emotions arise from desires, and desires are trapped by thoughts. We should break free from attachments and see the truth. This is not because our emotions have cooled, but because we can see the true nature of all things with a clear and open mind."

Zhuang Buyan said leisurely:

"So-called ruthlessness is not a cold-hearted attitude, but a compassion that puts aside ego. Spring does not hasten the blooming of flowers, but lets them bloom and fall on their own; autumn does not grieve for the fallen leaves, but lets them drift away on their own."

“If the heart is clear, it will naturally hide warmth in cold-bloodedness. Knowing that life is like mist, one cherishes connections without clinging to them. Understanding that all things are empty, one does good without being attached to good.”

"To see through illusion with a cold eye and protect one's true nature with a warm heart—this should be the path of compassion and detachment of an enlightened being."

After the young man in white finished speaking, his figure gradually became ethereal and indistinct. Qing'er hurriedly said:
"Daddy!"

"Qing'er, cultivate diligently, and we will meet again someday."

Zhuang Buran looked at Zixuan and said with a smile:

"Our three lifetimes of love have come to an end today. Take care, my love!"

Having said that, his body disintegrated and vanished from the spot.

Zi Xuan was startled, her clear eyes filled with memories, and she murmured softly:
"With compassion on the left and cause and effect on the right, finding a balance between emotion and principle is to find the most restrained gentleness towards the world within the most extreme clarity."

"Changqing, so this is the real you."
