A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

Li Henyue paused for a moment, her face full of surprise.

"Could it be that, Nangong, you...?"

If that's what the other person said, then there's only one possibility, a possibility she never dared to imagine before.

Nangong Jiutian nodded slightly and explained it to him in a calm and casual manner.

"That's right, I was trying to break through the seal of heaven and earth while attempting to reach the realm of immortals, which is why I was severely injured and killed."

This explanation truly shocked Li Henyue.

"I see."

If that's the case, then it makes sense.

If even you can discover something, it's impossible for the other party, with their strength and talent, to be completely unaware.

For a moment, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"So, even you, Nangong, haven't been able to break through?"

Previously, Li Henyue regretted that she had not seized the opportunity.

But now it seems that even the strongest Nangong Jiutian back then couldn't do it.

Even if I were to try, I'm afraid...

"Hmph, that's because of a lack of experience."

Nangong Jiutian snorted lightly, looking confident.

"If I could do it again, I would surely ascend to immortality!"

There was a strong sense of resentment in her tone.

Li Henyue sighed softly and said indifferently.

"What a pity, there are no second chances in this world."

After all, just like himself, a wisp of remnant soul, he no longer had the chance to become an immortal.

Nangong Jiutian smiled and said with amusement.

"You know what, I really do have another chance to try."

Li Henyue paused for a moment, then asked in surprise.

"Huh? How is that possible? You're not out of life yet?"

"That's a long story."

Nangong Jiutian did not elaborate on this point.

She gazed at the moon filled with sorrow and asked with great interest.

"I didn't expect that you would know about this as well."

Li Henyue nodded and sighed.

"It was by chance that I discovered the existence of the seal between heaven and earth through the moon-themed techniques I practiced."

The sun and moon are inherently the things closest to the Way of Heaven and the origin of this world.

Therefore, after one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one can have a clearer perception of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Naturally, one can then perceive the unusual circumstances in the world.

However, Nangong Jiutian's focus did not seem to be on this matter.

She asked curiously, "What I'm more concerned about is, what does this have to do with your sudden disappearance back then?"

"You wouldn't happen to be like me, failing to ascend and then on the verge of death, would you?"

Frankly, this is unlikely, given her abilities at the time.

If someone on the mainland wanted to ascend to immortality, I would definitely have noticed.

When this matter was brought up, Li Henyue fell silent for a moment, then shook her head slightly.

"I wasn't dying, I just felt that everything was meaningless."

"Since this cage exists between heaven and earth, what good is further cultivation?"

"In the end, aren't we just slightly larger ants in a cage created by others?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun, who was nearby, seemed to understand something.

Judging from this, the other party's heart, which yearned for enlightenment, was shaken by the truth of this world.

Since they felt they couldn't break through anyway, they might as well give up.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow, especially for someone who is born a genius.

Think about it, if it were you, facing a problem that you really couldn't solve, you would probably also choose to break the ice.

However, before that, he will definitely cause some trouble, just like Nangong Jiutian.

"I understand. So what happened next?"

Nangong Jiutian looked at her and asked curiously.

Li Henyue pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Later... in my despair, I decided to find a place to live in seclusion until I passed away."

Clearly, for her at that time, cultivation and becoming stronger had all lost their meaning.

In such circumstances, it is indeed easy for people to drift into nothingness.

At this moment, Ye Yun asked a question with great interest.

"If that's the case, senior, how come you created the Moon Wheel Sacred Land?"

According to the other party, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should spend the rest of his life in the mountains.

But she was also the founding ancestor of this Moon Wheel Holy Land, so something must have happened.

When this matter was mentioned, Li Henyue said with a somewhat dazed expression.

"This force was originally a mortal sect called the Azure Moon Sect."

Nangong Jiutian pondered for a moment, then smiled and said.

"Oh? Tell me more quickly!"

Ye Yun, who was standing next to him, also perked up his ears.

It's clear that, at least on this matter, the two are surprisingly in agreement; they both enjoy listening to other people's gossip.

Li Henyue naturally noticed this as well, but it seemed that it had indeed been a long time since she had had a heart-to-heart talk with anyone, so she said it indifferently.

"At that time, I lived in seclusion in a nearby mountain, spending my years in cultivation."

"And this Qingyue Sect was founded by a few mortals in the nearby mountains."

"Later, because of the extraordinary phenomena I experienced during my cultivation, they worshipped me as the Moon Goddess and offered incense to me generation after generation."

"But I ignored it and continued to remain in seclusion."

"Later, the Qingyue Sect gradually grew stronger and then gradually declined, experiencing countless ups and downs over thousands of years."

"During that period, we faced several life-or-death crises, but we managed to overcome them all."

"In critical moments, there will always be those who step up to fight, even if it means death, to lead the sect out of this desperate situation!"

"No matter what they went through, they always fought, they fought on and never gave up until their deaths."

As she finished speaking, a strange look appeared in Li Henyue's eyes.

Even Ye Yun was quite surprised. It was truly unbelievable that a mortal sect could be passed down for thousands of years.

Nangong Jiutian nodded and continued to ask.

"And then what? What happened to the sect?"

Li Henyue fell silent for a moment, then let out a soft sigh.

"Then...something happened."

"At that time, the Qingyue Sect was in decline, with fewer than a thousand disciples, but it unexpectedly offended a nearby cultivator family."

"After that, the entire family was wiped out, which led to a great war, or rather a massacre."

"At that time, all the disciples and elders of the Qingyue Sect, knowing that they were no match for the enemy and that they would surely die, still fought to the death."

"Even when only one child remained in the sect, he was still trying to fight to the death."

As she finished speaking, her sigh deepened.

It seems that they were feeling sorry for the Qingyue Sect at that time.

Nangong Jiutian, standing to the side, disregarded the somber atmosphere and jokingly asked...

"So back then, you were moved by these ordinary ants?"

After all, according to Li Henyue, she must have been in the mountains and witnessed the rise and fall of the Qingyue Sect.

Furthermore, being worshipped as a deity over time will inevitably evoke some feelings, which is perfectly normal.

As expected, Li Henyue nodded slightly and sighed softly.

"Yes, at that time I thought, even though these mortals know they are going to die, they still fight to the death!"

"Perhaps this is the integrity of us human beings—unyielding even in the face of death!"

"If mortals are like this, what about us cultivators?"

"From the very beginning of our cultivation, we have been defying the heavens!"

"Once you've reached a high point, how can you be frightened by a small cage!"

As she finished speaking, a hint of fighting spirit crept into her voice.

It is clear that if it happened again, Li Henyue would definitely be like Nangong Jiutian.

Even if it's like a moth drawn to a flame, I would never hesitate!

Nangong Jiutian nodded and said with a smile.

"I understand, so you made your move?"

"Yes, that's right."

Li Henyue took a deep breath and began to speak.

"At that time, I took action and killed those attackers, and also took the remaining children of the Qingyue Sect as my disciples."

"And afterwards, he went into hiding and established the Moon Wheel Sect, which was the predecessor of the Azure Moon Sect."

"Later, the sect grew stronger step by step, and eventually became the Moon Wheel Holy Land of this Eastern Continent."

Hearing this, Ye Yun, who was standing next to him, was deeply moved.

I never imagined that there was such a history before the Moon Wheel Holy Land.

Even more unexpectedly, this Moon Wheel Holy Land is so ancient, and its founder was a generation of Nangong Jiutian.

But then, Ye Yun thought of something and asked in confusion.

"If that's the case, senior, how did you perish here? Did you encounter a powerful enemy later?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't really be able to think of any other reason why he might have perished.

No, not at all.

Li Henyue shook her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over Nangong Jiutian beside her, and said calmly.

"When I was born later, this fellow Daoist Nangong had already disappeared, and most of the other Daoists had also passed away."

"In that era, those who were stronger than me were extremely rare."

In a way, she outlasted all the other powerful individuals!

"In that case, then, senior..."

Li Henyue didn't hide anything from Ye Yun's doubts.

She spoke calmly and slowly.

"My demise was not accidental; it was simply a case of regret coming too late."

"When he wanted to leave his seclusion and create a great career, his lifespan was already nearing its limit."

"Furthermore, I have noticed that the profound energy of heaven and earth is gradually declining, and I believe that the cultivation system will inevitably decay in the future."

"So I decided to leave a complete legacy for future generations."

"Let this altar be built here, so that we may await descendants who are able to inherit the legacy."

If there's one thing she regrets most in her life...

That's definitely why I didn't figure these things out sooner.

In that case, perhaps we could try to ascend together with Nangong Jiutian.

It's a pity, a real pity. By the time she understood all of this, it was already too late for regrets.

After listening, Ye Yun was stunned for a moment.

He raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask.

"But weren't you already at the Emperor level? How could your lifespan be nearing its end?"

You should know that when he started cultivating, he had only one goal.

Live on, live a long life, even live forever!

In fact, how many people cultivate to become stronger, all for those two words—immortality!

Li Henyue responded calmly.

"Upon reaching the Great Perfection of the Emperor Rank, one has a lifespan of approximately ten thousand years."

"Although it is very long, it does not guarantee immortality."

In fact, this lifespan of ten thousand years still seems insignificant and short-lived compared to the tens of thousands of years of history of the entire continent.

Nangong Jiutian echoed this sentiment from the side.

"That's right. Strictly speaking, there is no true immortality without becoming an immortal."

"In the end, even if you reach the Emperor level, you're still just someone who can move mountains and fill seas."

"When it comes to the crucial hurdle of lifespan, the only option is to evade it and use special methods to extend one's lifespan."

The so-called special methods, such as how she herself was back then.

And now, the remnant soul of Li Henyue.

Strictly speaking, they all preserved their self-awareness for tens of thousands of years.

However, strictly speaking, they can no longer be considered human.

Hearing this, Ye Yun fell silent for a moment.

After a long pause, he took a deep breath and said.

"I see, I understand now!"

It was probably at this moment that his desire to ascend to immortality reached its peak.

After all, he cultivates and becomes stronger for the sake of endless lifespan.

The result told him that even Emperor-level experts would grow old and die, so had he cultivated for nothing?

At this moment, Nangong Jiutian asked curiously.

"So, you've had tens of thousands of years and still haven't found a successor?"

Speaking of this, Li Henyue sighed softly, feeling somewhat depressed.

"Yes, I have already lowered my standards considerably, but I still haven't been able to find someone with the right talent."

After all, it is a unique inheritance, and if the other party cannot fully digest its contents...

So when the next generation passes it on, it will only get worse and worse.

In the end, her legacy will go from complete to tattered.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun couldn't help but ask.

"Senior, what level of talent do you consider necessary to pass this test?"

You should know that this is the entry requirement for the Moon Goddess Trial.

Those are all successive generations of Moon Wheel Holy Land, and those who are about to succeed as the Moon Wheel Holy Lord. Their talents should be beyond question.

Especially since the trials here are so extreme, anyone who can pass them must be an extraordinary person.

However, after tens of thousands of years, she still hasn't found a genius who catches her eye?

Just how high are these requirements?

Li Henyue glanced at him and explained calmly.

"When I choose a successor, I do not only look at their talent for cultivation, but also at their compatibility with the power of moonlight."

After all, he was practicing the Way of the Moon, and if his compatibility with it was not high enough, he would not be able to master all of her abilities.

After listening, Ye Yun scratched his head and said.

"Uh... this feels a bit mystical."

"In short, to obtain my inheritance, one must first rely on one's own abilities and pass the three trials!"

Having said that, Li Henyue gave Ye Yun a deep look.

That look made Ye Yun wonder, why does it feel like the senior is giving him pointers?

He coughed lightly and asked tentatively.

"Senior, are you... saying this for me to hear?"

"Otherwise what?"

Li Henyue glanced at him, then looked at Nangong Jiutian.

"Your actions constitute cheating, and I cannot pretend not to see it."

"If you don't want it to pass, then don't cause trouble here."

This is undoubtedly a rant about what happened earlier, when Nangong Jiutian manipulated Ye Yun's body to fight for him.

This meant she was facing Nangong Jiutian, and she was giving him some face for the time being.

If it were some unknown remnant soul acting as a substitute, she probably would have already taken action.

"Ahem, I see..."

Ye Yun scratched his head and glanced at Nangong Jiutian somewhat awkwardly.

The latter shrugged, as if to say, "Don't look at me, there's nothing I can do."

Left with no other option, Ye Yun coughed lightly and tentatively asked.

"Um, senior... can we talk about something?"

Li Henyue's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she asked softly.

"Kid, what do you want to say?"

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then made a suggestion.

"How about... you just consider me a junior and accept me? As for the inheritance or anything like that, I don't need it."

"How can that be?"

Li Henyue gave a soft snort and said indifferently.

"If you can't even pass this test to become the lord of a holy land, how can you possibly rule it?"

Clearly, she sees Ye Yun as a new generation of Holy Lord who has come here to undergo trials.

In this situation, cheating is obviously not a good idea, but...

Ye Yun's lips twitched slightly, and he said helplessly.

"It's still the same, but senior, I didn't come here for the inheritance or to become a Holy Lord."

"In fact, I am not even a member of the Moon Wheel Holy Land."

He felt that if he didn't explain himself clearly, the senior in front of him wouldn't let him pass.

"What?"

Upon learning of this, Li Henyue frowned and looked at him, asking a question.

"If that's the case, why have you come here?"

According to her instructions from long ago, only people from the Moon Wheel Sanctuary are allowed to enter.

So many years have passed, have you forgotten the rules?

At this moment, Ye Yun coughed lightly and explained.

"Here's the thing, I did this because..."

He truthfully recounted his relationship with Yue Rushuang, as well as his bet with the current Holy Lord.

As a result, after listening, Li Henyue snorted coldly.

"This is utter nonsense! This is a sacred site for inheritance; it's not a place for such things!"

It is clear that she was extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the Holy Lord of the Moon Wheel.

Seeing this, Ye Yun offered a little support.

"Senior, please don't be too angry. That senior had no choice but to allow me to participate in the trial because of his daughter's situation."

"Hmph, I'll pursue this matter with them later."

Hearing this, Ye Yun felt helpless and could only silently pray for his father-in-law.

This really wasn't me deliberately trying to trick him.

So...

Ye Yun tentatively asked.

"Senior, please allow me to use the back door. I have no intention of coveting the position of Holy Lord or the inheritance."

"I just want to be with the one I love."

Li Henyue raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly.

"Since you made a promise to pass the trial, shouldn't you keep your word?"

Clearly, each issue should be addressed separately.

She values ​​promises very much.

"Ahem, this..."

Ye Yun gave an awkward smile and said helplessly.

"I never imagined that the Moon Goddess Trial would be so difficult."

"Furthermore... this junior's cultivation time is too short, and the accumulation is not yet sufficient."

Li Henyue said dismissively.

"That's your problem; there's nothing I can do about it."

As she spoke, she glanced at Nangong Jiutian beside her.

Seeing this, Nangong Jiutian shook his head helplessly.

"Having gone through the Moon of Parting Sorrows, how could I not know you?"

"He's supposed to be a senior, but this kid is really embarrassing himself."

"Just tell me straight, what are the conditions for your help?"

Upon hearing this, Li Henyue smiled.

"If that's the case, then I'll just say it."

"I hope Fellow Daoist Nangong can help me find a suitable successor."

Upon seeing this, Ye Yun suddenly realized the truth.

Okay, okay, that's how relationships are.

What principles, what keeping one's word? It's all just a pretext to ask Nangong Jiutian for a favor.

He truly understood what it meant to be caught up in the complexities of city life.

Upon hearing her conditions, Nangong Jiutian narrowed his eyes and said irritably.

"I say, aren't you going too far? Such a trivial matter, and you want me to find you a successor?"

"Fellow Daoist, you may refuse."

Li Henyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a spring-like smile.

"But with that, it seems this kid's romantic journey is coming to an end, right?"

A threat, a blatant threat!
