Upon hearing this, the room fell into a deathly silence.

The young man who cultivated the invincible path wished before his death that his Daoist partner would carry on his invincible path and live on.

Ye Qingxin paused for a moment before asking, "So, Yu Zhiying believes that Hei Sang's last wish was to achieve the invincible Dao, which is why he went to fight the Demon Prince?"

Qin Shoucheng shook his head. "Actually, that's not the true meaning of Heisang's last wish."

"I only learned by chance that thirty years ago, Hei Sang and the young lady from the Yu family made a vow under the Three Lives Stone to live and die together in this life."

"But after Black Mulberry's heart was ripped out, he clung to life by relying on spiritual energy. Knowing that his life was about to end, he used the matter of bearing the Great Dao to break the oath of living and dying together."

"I once visited Black Mulberry's cave. On the stone wall at the end of the cave, his true wish was engraved..."

Everyone asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Qin Shoucheng smiled somewhat absentmindedly, "I wish to hold the reins and live a carefree life."

"...That's all."

The crowd felt as if they had been struck by a mountain, their hearts heavy with oppression.

The young man who cultivates the invincible path wishes for his beloved to have a carefree life.

The idea that the Great Dao that carries him on will live on is just a lie.

He didn't want Yu Zhiying to die with him...

As long as she's happy, that's all that matters...

But before Heisang died, he specifically asked Qin Shoucheng to cover up what he said in his cave and not to tell Yu Zhiying.

Therefore, Yu Zhiying always believed that Hei Sang's last wish was for her to cultivate an invincible Dao Heart and ascend to immortality.

After all, the young man who cultivated the invincible path always smiled carefree and pointed to the sky, declaring, "I, Hei Sang, am destined to be the number one rogue cultivator in the world!"

Yu Zhiying always leaned against the boy's side, and the girl never found the boy's repeated words annoying; she would only ask questions.

"The number one rogue cultivator in the world? What happens after he achieves his goal?"

Hei Sang blinked. "It's a secret."

The answer to this question was left in Black Mulberry's cave.

There are traces of a celestial sword engraving on the stone wall.

It was just a few words.

"Once I rule the world, I will go to the Yu family in grand style to propose marriage..."

"A grand wedding with eight bearers, a proper and formal marriage..."

"Zhiying, she's so cute. I need to cultivate diligently so she won't be bullied..."

"..."

He cultivated the Invincible Path for Yu Zhiying's sake.

Hei Sang was not from a noble family. Before he awakened his spiritual root, he was just an unwanted wild child who had nowhere to eat and could only wander from place to place.

In childhood.

As a young lady of the Yu family, Yu Zhiying saved many people during her training in Shengfu Prefecture.

Among them was Heisang, who was almost eaten by a monster.

However, at that time, Heisang had dark skin and mediocre talent; he was just an ordinary person.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals, so he dared not look up, but he still offended by remembering the face of the fairy in his heart.

Later, Heisang worked hard to cultivate, starting as a rogue cultivator and going through countless hardships. Finally, he gained some fame and spent his days following Yu Zhiying around.

That's how he managed to get his lover's attention.

That was Black Mulberry's love, hidden for decades.

Yu Zhiying had long forgotten the little beggar she had casually saved, but Hei Sang would never forget those fair little hands that didn't mind his dirtiness...

Later on, when Heisang truly wanted to cultivate the invincible path, become the number one in the world, and share the title of the strongest in the world with his lover.

He was defeated, and his body was disemboweled...

Hei Sang then realized that there are always people more capable than oneself, and that there is always something beyond one's understanding. Had he known this earlier, he should have stayed by his lover's side, even if it was just as a servant...

The path of the young man, to be precise, is not the path of invincibility, but rather... the path of protection.

He had secretly pursued Yu Zhiying for too long, even pretending to be an invincible cultivator, all so that his lover would look at him more.

Young people often like to attract the attention of their crush by being unconventional.

Hei Sang succeeded and won the heart of the beauty.

Black Mulberry failed, and the Great Dao vanished.

But will it be successful?

That depends on what the truth in his heart truly is...

Is it invincibility, or protection?

The truth came out.

But that's not the end of the story.

Qin Shoucheng continued recounting the events of thirty years ago, "Before Heisang was disemboweled and left with only a wisp of spiritual energy, Yu Zhiying stole the Yu family's immortal artifact, the Revolving Mirror, which was a supreme healing treasure, but the attempt to save him failed."

"Black Mulberry's essence and blood are all in his heart meridian, but the heart meridian has already been shattered, and the Revolving Mirror has also been unexpectedly broken."

The eldest elder of the Yu family chimed in, "Every immortal artifact is a strategic item for the human race, which is why Zhiying was imprisoned in the Sinful Land for thirty years."

"However, she did not waste these thirty years. She truly heeded Hei Sang's dying words. She frantically cultivated in the forbidden area and studied the Demon Child for thirty years, all in order to defeat him..."

Thinking about this...

The First Elder of the Yu family trembled slightly on his aged face. "He probably also had feelings of revenge, but..."

Following the Grand Elder's gaze, everyone looked at Yu Zhiying, who was wildly waving his spear in the Heavenly Mirror, his expression both exhilarating and complex.

"Her fight was more about making up for the regret of her lover's invincible path being defeated before his death..."

"..."

There was a long silence in the room, with no one knowing what to say.

The two little ones, separated by life and death, are considering and taking responsibility for each other's future.

The world is always just a little bit off, and happiness will never be complete.

Many human cultivators shed tears; many cultivators, regardless of gender, had red eyes.

"Black Mulberry, every shot your lover fires is to perfect your invincible path..."

"Go for it! Defeat the Demon Child! Invincible Path!"

"Go for it, Invincible Path!"

"This time, it must be a complete success..."

"..."

Everyone expressed their heartfelt gratitude and offered their sincere congratulations.

They all stared at the figure in the celestial mirror, who was constantly wielding a long spear.

Hei Sang hopes his lover will be happy, and Yu Zhiying also hopes that Hei Sang's Daoist heart will be fulfilled.

Perhaps, my wish will soon come true.

After learning the truth, the demons did not feel anything.

The Peacock Demon King gritted his teeth fiercely, "It's just the death of a rogue cultivator, and the humans really do make a mountain out of a molehill..."

The Lion King also spoke angrily, "Your Highness, Demon Prince, don't lose..."

But none of the demons spoke.

Because the demon is destined to lose.

In this battle, both Heaven's will and the people's hearts stood on the spearhead of that invincible man with a righteous heart...

Inside the Heavenly Mirror.

Among the ruins of Yaoguang.

Every shot Yu Zhiying fired carried the image of her former lover.

Heisang was once known as the strongest spear master, wielding a red-tasseled spear. Before his fall, Heisang taught Yu Zhiying a set of spear techniques to kill evil spirits!

Back then, Hei Sang always talked about the invincible way, but his body was always wrapped around Yu Zhiying's side.

"Zhiying, would you like to come with me to see the stars?"

"Zhiying, have you heard? A terrible thing has happened in Shengfu Prefecture—a flood! My love has overflowed the entire Tongxuan Continent..."

"Zhiying, this spear technique is the culmination of my life's work, dedicated to vanquishing evil spirits. If something unexpected happens to me one day, remember to practice it. Haha, actually, I just don't want you to forget me..."

"Ahem, Zhiying, all those vows were false. Just forget about me..."

"..."

Yu Zhiying's spear, like a silver frost and a white dragon, pierced through illusion and penetrated flesh and blood.

Through the two sides of the Heavenly Mirror, everyone saw the ending.

The Demon Prince was pinned to a stone wall at Yao Guang's position by a single spear thrust.

Tears welled in Yu Zhiying's eyes as she looked up blankly. "I actually visited your cave long ago, but if I don't help you achieve the Great Dao, I don't know where to go..."
