Ling Xiu walked quickly to the bedside, looking at his dying grandson Ling Tian, ​​his heart filled with mixed feelings and a deep sorrow.

He immediately raised his hand, channeling a continuous stream of pure spiritual energy into Ling Tian's body. At the same time, he took out the best healing and longevity pills he had on him and fed them to Ling Tian.

He used all his current means to stimulate spiritual energy to nourish Ling Tian's internal organs and meridians, trying to forcibly prolong the other's lifespan.

But it was all in vain.

Ling Tian was a mortal, whose lifespan had long since been exhausted, his vitality completely withered, his life force exhausted, and his soul slowly dissipating.

This is the limit of lifespan according to the Heavenly Dao, which cannot be reversed by spiritual power, elixirs, or cultivation.

Ling Xiu's spiritual energy could only temporarily stabilize his consciousness and keep him awake for a moment, but it could not restore his life or avert his inevitable death.

After several attempts, Ling Xiu slowly withdrew his hand, his eyes filled with helplessness and melancholy.

He is now a great cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, capable of shaking mountains and rivers with a mere gesture, yet he remains powerless before birth, aging, sickness, death, and the lifespan of the Heavenly Dao.

"Tian'er... Grandpa's back..."

Ling Tian struggled to raise his withered hand and gently grasped Ling Xiu's wrist. A glimmer of light appeared in his cloudy eyes, and a final smile appeared on his face.

"It's good that you're back... Grandpa and grandson are leaving..."

His breathing was intermittent, and his speech was weak, yet every word was sincere.

Over the years, Ling Tian has watched the Ling family rise step by step to become one of the top families in Qingyun Kingdom. The family members live in peace and prosperity, and the younger generation produces many talented people. He no longer has any regrets.

His only obsession was to see his grandfather one last time before he died.

Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he has no more worries.

Ling Xiu stood by the bed and said softly, "Tian'er, Grandpa knows that your life has not been easy. You have sacrificed so much for our Ling family, and Grandpa is very gratified."

Looking at his grandfather, who possessed extraordinary temperament, upright posture, and boundless spiritual energy, Ling Tian knew that he had long since become a dragon, soaring through the heavens.

He spoke slowly, his voice trembling.

"Grandpa... the family is doing well now... the clan is at peace... the younger generation is doing well... Haiyang is a child with great fortune... he has a celestial master to guide him... the Ling family..."

"Grandpa, I'm old... I've lived enough... You don't need to be sad..."

"From now on... cultivate diligently... live peacefully and smoothly... protect yourself... protect your family..."

His intermittent admonitions exhausted all his remaining strength.

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly released his grip on Ling Xiu's wrist, gently closed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and completely stopped breathing.

An ordinary old man passed away peacefully, having lived out his days in his old age.

Living to be 100 years old is considered a very long life.

Seeing his grandson Ling Tian completely silent, Ling Xiu remained silent for a long time, his heart filled with melancholy, but not excessive grief.

Ling Tian lived a peaceful life, enjoyed a blessed old age, had a prosperous family, accomplished descendants, and fulfilled his dying wish. He died without illness or disaster, which is the best ending for an ordinary person.

Compared to the countless people in the world who do not have a good end, his ending was already perfect.

In the following days, Ling Xiu personally took charge and arranged Ling Tian's funeral in a grand and impressive manner.

Only then did the Ling family realize that the extraordinary immortal before them was their ancestor.

Upon learning of Ling Tian's passing, all the various factions in the Qingyun Kingdom sent people to pay their respects, and no one dared to be negligent.

Standing before the spirit tablet, Ling Xiu looked at the guests from all sides who had come to pay their respects, at the orderly and thriving Ling family members, and at his disciple Ling Haiyang, who stood respectfully guarding the spirit tablet with a calm and composed demeanor. His heart was completely at peace.

The Ling family today is nothing like it used to be.

The family has a rich heritage, and its members live in harmony and unity.

With Ling Haiyang, a promising cultivator, in charge of the younger generation, and Nuonuo carefully nurturing them, the future is sure to be prosperous and enduring.

After so many years of running around, fighting, and working hard, he finally managed to protect his family and clan.

All obsessions have been resolved, leaving no regrets whatsoever.

After the funeral and all the guests had left, the mansion finally quieted down.

In the courtyard, only Ling Xiu and Nuonuo remained, standing facing each other.

Having not seen each other for many years, the two have grown and experienced countless trials and tribulations. Now that they meet again, their feelings are completely different.

Nuonuo looked at Ling Xiu, whose aura was vast and powerful, and spoke softly, her voice gentle yet firm.

"Grandpa Ling Xiu, I knew it was you all along."

From the moment they reunited, from the familiar scent and familiar eyes, she had already confirmed Ling Xiu's identity, but she never revealed it.

Ling Xiu looked at the little girl who had accompanied him all the way and helped him several times, a gentle smile on his face, and nodded frankly.

"It's my girl, you're still Grandpa's Nuonuo."

After many years, the two finally admitted their true selves to each other, with no more secrets or barriers of identity.

Ling Xiu recounted some of his experiences over the years and the reasons why he couldn't acknowledge his former lover.

With a thought, he took out a pure white pill brimming with spiritual energy from his Qiankun Ring.

It was the only Spirit Sea Pill he left behind.

This pill is incredibly precious, capable of greatly assisting cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Profound Realm in their attempts to break through and stabilize their Spirit Sea Realm cultivation. Its value is immeasurable, making it the most top-tier cultivation elixir in his possession.

Ling Xiu gently handed the pill to Nuonuo, his tone sincere.

"This is for you. It will help you cultivate, stabilize your realm, and strive for a higher level of cultivation."

Nuonuo did not refuse, gently accepting the Spirit Sea Pill, her eyes filled with warmth as she nodded slightly.

"Grandpa Ling, what are your plans for the future?"

Ling Xiu was no longer bound by any worldly ties and was completely free of worries.

"Sword Immortal Feng Qingyang has already located the Black Fiend Sect's stronghold, and I must set off to assist him."

After settling all personal matters, the biggest hidden danger in the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Realm was the Black Fiend Sect, which had wreaked havoc and committed countless evils.

Over the years, the Black Fiend Sect has been hiding in the shadows, constantly harming cultivators, slaughtering sects, and plundering resources. It has committed numerous evils and its hands are stained with blood. It is a major threat to all righteous sects in the entire Eastern Wilderness Immortal Domain.

However, the Black Fiend Sect's lair is extremely well hidden, concealed in a dangerous and dark secret realm, riddled with arrays and traps. For many years, countless immortal sects have joined forces to search for it, but to no avail.

Now that Ling Xiu's cultivation has reached its peak and he has entered the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, his strength has increased dramatically.

And Feng Qingyang, the sword immortal, finally pinpointed the true location of the Black Fiend Sect's lair.

The news sent shockwaves through the entire righteous path of the Eastern Wilderness.

The reclusive sword immortal Feng Qingyang took the lead, and countless dormant sect patriarchs and veteran powerhouses all appeared. The top immortal sects of the Eastern Wilderness, such as Xuan Yang Sect, Tian Yan Sect, and Qing Xu Sect, mobilized all their top combat forces.

In an instant, powerful figures from the righteous path gathered, their imposing presence shaking the heavens.

Ling Xiu was among them, standing shoulder to shoulder with the patriarchs and powerful figures from various immortal sects.

Without the slightest hesitation, everyone followed the locked location and headed together to the dark and secluded secret realm where the Black Fiend Sect was hiding.

The Black Fiend Cult has occupied the secret realm for many years, setting up countless killing and demonic formations, and commanding countless demonic cultivators who are fearless and stubbornly resist.

However, in the face of the top combat power of the entire Eastern Wilderness Righteous Path, all resistance seemed insignificant.

Feng Qingyang, the Sword Immortal, possessed unparalleled swordsmanship; with a single strike, he could shatter a thousand mountains and vanquish ten thousand demons.

The patriarchs of various sects unleashed their full power, their spells roaring and their spiritual energy surging, crushing layer upon layer of demonic arrays and numerous traps.

Ling Xiu, stationed in the middle, possessed boundless spiritual power and was ruthless in his killing intent, sweeping away numerous high-level demonic cultivators along the way, invincible in all directions.

The great battle lasted for several days. Within the secret realm, the demonic flames dissipated completely, and countless evil Black Fiend Cult demonic cultivators were wiped out without a single one escaping.

Finally, the group ventured deep into the secret realm, found the core lair of the Black Fiend Cult, and slaughtered the last remaining high-ranking members and demons of the cult.

The Black Fiend Cult, which had been a source of chaos in the Eastern Wilderness for hundreds of years, has been completely wiped out!

As the last wisp of demonic flame dissipated, the dark secret realm returned to clarity, and the entire Eastern Wilderness Immortal Domain was completely cleared of the clouds and saw the sun.

The evil that plagues the world must be completely eradicated.

Ling Xiu has gone through countless life-and-death battles and desperate comebacks. He has never stopped cultivating and has climbed to the top step by step. He has protected his family, stabilized his sect, pacified the chaotic world, and swept away all evil in the world.

All grudges and entanglements, all trials and tribulations, all obsessions and concerns, have all settled down.

The road ahead is long and the future is bright. The past is but a prologue, and the future is a smooth path.

This book is finished—the curtain has officially fallen!

The ending is the beginning of a new book. I'll always be here. I refuse to believe we can't fight our way out and reach the top.

Thank you to all the brothers who have been there for me! See you again soon!
