Ning Yue and Jiang Yishen had almost finished with their business, so they said goodbye and went back to their own courtyards.

The next day was the day the disciples were to have their spiritual roots tested. Ning Yue didn't go to watch, but he heard a lot of news about it.

There are many talented new disciples this year.

The elders then selected a new batch of direct disciples.

Ning Yue and the others finally managed to find some time to visit their junior brothers and sisters.

Many of the faces were familiar, such as Cen Yi, Bai Gu, and the girl who encouraged everyone's morale in the formation.

These new direct disciples were so excited to see Ning Yue and his group that they didn't know what to do.

Shi Yinghan reassured him, "There will be many opportunities to meet and communicate in the future."

Yang Fei was extremely arrogant: "Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it, that's just how much people admire me, senior brother."

Song Yishi glanced at him, then silently looked away.

Lu Qingyan pursed her lips slightly, and Ning Yue, standing beside his senior sister, waved to them.

Jiang Yishen and Duan Huailin stood to one side, looking at these young faces.

Gong Zhi has recently become obsessed with cultivation, spending all his time cultivating, cultivating, cultivating, cultivating.

Now he's been forcibly dragged out by his own master, supposedly to get some fresh air.

Ning Yue: "Senior Brother Gong, how are you feeling?"

Gong Zhi smiled and said, "I've fully recovered. I also want to thank my junior sister for helping me clear my meridians back then."

Ning Yue waved his hand: "It's nothing."

As senior brothers and sisters, we naturally can't just ignore our junior brothers and sisters.

Ning Yue pulled out a whole bunch of rare and valuable items and put them on the table for them to choose from.

The junior students were too scared to accept them, so Ning Yue eventually distributed them to them based on each person's characteristics and personality.

Ning Yue was very excited to give the gifts; it was finally her turn!

The senior students looked at Ning Yue with a helpless expression, smiled, and took out the things they had prepared to give to them.

Each person's gift was prepared with great care, which deeply moved the junior students.

Finally, Ji Liyan arrived after hearing the news and managed to calm the disciples down.

He said to Ning Yue and the others, "You can go back now. I'll take care of them."

……

Ning Yue and the others were walking back together.

Yang Fei suddenly asked, "Do you know what happened to Qi Bei in the end?"

Qi Bei?

I haven't heard this name in a long time.

Ning Yue looked at Yang Fei: "What happened to him? I heard he's been imprisoned by the Fusang Sect and hasn't been executed yet."

"Junior Sister, you're out of touch with the news, aren't you?" Yang Fei said.

"Qi Bei was executed last night."

Yang Fei paused for a moment, then continued.

"I heard that Qi Bei's behavior was so heinous that the punishment was particularly cruel. The execution was not made public, and only the sect leaders and elders of each sect knew about it."

"Your information network is incredibly efficient," Ning Yue remarked.

"Of course," Yang Fei said smugly.

"These things don't escape my ears. Although it was a secret execution, it wasn't deliberately concealed. You just don't pay attention to this, that's why you don't know."

Ning Yue nodded.

She really hadn't been paying attention to Qi Bei's situation.

"That's true." Shi Yinghan nodded.

"Qi Bei endured three days of scorching flames before his death. After being burned by these flames, his soul and spirit were completely destroyed, making it impossible for him to be reborn as a human."

Song Yishi snorted: "He deserved it, this is too lenient on him."

This is true.

Everyone had the same thought in their hearts.

The sun was setting in the west at that moment.

Ning Yue's hair was ruffled by the breeze as she looked into the distance.

The temple was quiet and peaceful.

"Things have come to an end, and I need to start cultivating properly now. I haven't experienced what it's like to go into seclusion yet."

Everyone suddenly fell silent for a moment.

The fact that Junior Sister is going into seclusion to cultivate means that she is about to break through to that realm and plans to ascend.

"Wow, that was fast!" Gong Zhi exclaimed, smiling at Ning Yue.

"It feels like we haven't been together for very long, and you're already preparing to ascend to heaven."

"It will probably take some time..." Ning Yue pondered for a moment, "It's hard to say when."

Shi Yinghan, unusually melancholic, lowered her gaze and said.

"Does that mean I won't see my junior sister for a long time?"

Jiang Yishen pressed the corner of his eye, but didn't say anything.

Ning Yue said, "Once we all ascend to immortality, our lifespans will be endless, and we can meet whenever we want."

"Junior Sister, you have so much confidence in us?" Duan Huailin wanted to raise the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't.

"Of course." Ning Yue said with a puzzled look, turning around with his back to the setting sun.

"What I've always wanted is for us all to ascend together, all of us here."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then Song Yishi burst out laughing first.

"Junior Sister...you really are something."

Those words really hit home.

Only Ning Yue possessed absolute confidence, which convinced others that she would successfully ascend.

Let alone others, they themselves don't have much confidence in themselves.

After all, the last person to successfully ascend to immortality was thousands of years ago.

Throughout these thousands of years, no genius, no matter how great, has ever succeeded in ascending to immortality.

But the junior sister spoke with absolute certainty, as if she completely believed it, and didn't even consider the possibility that they wouldn't ascend.

"I don't care what nonsense you're spouting." Ning Yue took a step forward and stood in front of the crowd.

The hem of their clothes fluttered against their legs as the setting sun cast their shadows.

Their shadows clustered together, intertwined, like an inseparable whole.

Ning Yue said, "After I ascend, I will only wait a few years for you. If you still don't come up to be with me, I will come down to you every day and nag you."

"When the whole Upper Realm knows, let's see if you still have the will to cultivate."

I don't know who laughed first, but then more and more smiles spread among them.

Ning Yue opened her eyes and looked at them: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's rare to see Junior Sister looking forward to this so much..." Shi Yinghan casually patted Ning Yue's head.

"We really need to work hard."

"Of course." Yang Fei tilted his head back confidently. "I definitely won't keep you waiting too long, Junior Sister."

Song Yishi tilted his head and looked at Yang Fei: "Let's have a competition and see who ascends first."

"This is so unfair..." Gong Zhi said from the side.

Lu Qingyan chuckled softly, "Then let's work hard together."

Duan Huailin nodded, looking up at the sky and saying, "The mission is of great importance."

Jiang Yishen looked intently into Ning Yue's eyes and made up his mind.

"I can't be the last one, otherwise you'll all ascend to heaven and then you'll all be nagging me."

Gong Zhi interrupted him: "This role should be mine no matter what."

Everyone burst into laughter.

The elders, watching from behind, laughed, "What are they saying, so happy?"

"Who knows... It's so good to be young."

"Hey, I heard the old man with the array formations has a pretty good new disciple!"

"Of course!"

……

The warm glow of the setting sun spilled onto the buildings, as if draped in a soft, cozy veil.

The Fusang sect stands proudly among them.

It will continue to stand like this forever.
