Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

One dot, two dots, at first just a few scattered strands, like the reflection of stars on the lake, Xiaohe didn't even have time to react.

But soon, Xiaohe's eyes widened as she gazed at the lake with rapt attention.

Countless blue dots of light connect on the lake surface, like a blue curtain spread across it, soft and romantic, or like a celestial river sprinkled down by immortals and fallen to earth.

Before Mu An could speak, Mu Ling'er had already squatted down, quickly took off the shoes and socks of the three of them, and, holding Xiao He and Xiao Lü in each hand, walked towards the lakeside.

The lake water, shimmering with a delicate blue light, washed over her toes. Mu Ling'er bent down, cupped her hands together, and scooped up the blue-glowing water, showing it to Xiao He and Xiao Lü as if it were a treasure.

But for some reason, the lake water, which looked blue, lost its color when held in my hands and turned back to its original color.

Unaware of what was going on, Mu Ling'er assumed that the fireflies had drifted away with the water flow. She immediately bent down and stared intently at the water, trying to cup the blue lake water in her hands.

Her hands moved with lightning speed, even imbued with internal energy, as if she were competing with the lake water.

Little Green was also aroused to play, and imitated Mu Ling'er by scooping it up with her hands.

On the shore, Mu An watched the three figures from behind and suddenly burst out laughing.

He subtly touched the surface of the lake, and countless blue lights rose from the water.

A moment later, Mu Ling'er's joyful cheers could be heard from afar.

The bioluminescence emitted by algae cannot remain on the water, but this is a rare opportunity, and there is no reason to disappoint.

As night deepened, the fireflies had long since faded away.

After sending Xiaohe and Xiaolü back to their rooms to rest, Mu An and Mu Ling'er sat together at the front of the carriage, gazing blankly at the lakeside under the night sky.

"Thanks."

"What are you thanking me for? You brought me to see such a rare sight; I should be thanking you."

"Before I came here, I heard people say that the glowing thing wasn't the lake water, and that 'blue tears' couldn't be brought up like this." Mu Ling'er smiled and blinked at Mu An, her eyes filled with undisguised joy.

The moonlight shone down, illuminating the smile on Mu Ling'er's face. Mu An was slightly surprised, then laughed out loud.

"No need for thanks among family members, just be happy with what you like."

……

……

Summer of the 47th year of the Tianshun reign.

Qishan Dao Wuxing Zhenjun, alone with his sword, rushed to the Wanling Domain.

On that day, the mountains and rivers of the Myriad Spirits Realm resounded, and colorful rays of light stretched for thousands of miles.

The Lord of the Mountains of the Myriad Spirits Domain, ranked fifth in the world, clashed with the Five Elements True Lord, ranked seventh in the world. The battle between the human and the demon caused mountains and rivers to shift and flow backward.

On the same day, a Yin-Yang Taiji diagram flew out from the Four Symbols Mountain, spanning 90,000 miles, and spread out in the sky above the Myriad Spirits Domain.

The two energies circulate, and yin and yang arise in abundance. With the yin-yang Taiji diagram as its core, a massive array rises above the Myriad Spirits Domain, sealing the heavens and locking the earth.

A single array diagram actually blocked the twelve demon saints of the Myriad Spirits Domain, and no matter what methods they used, they could not break through.

That night, Mu An, dressed in clothes that appeared unchanged, returned home with a smile as usual, watching the three of them each eat a peach.

Half a month later, news of the Five Elements True Monarch's forced intrusion into the Demon Clan's Holy Land of the Myriad Spirits Domain reached back, and only then did Mu Ling'er learn what Mu An had done that day.

She didn't tell Xiaohe and Xiaolü about it, but stared at Mu'an again and again, repeatedly asking him if he was injured.

Seeing that Mu An didn't seem injured, Mu Ling'er finally breathed a sigh of relief. She stared at Mu An one last time, making him promise that he would never take such risks again and that he must always put his safety first.

After being nagged all night, Mu An finally couldn't take it anymore and raised his hand to promise Mu Ling'er that he would never do such a thing again.

Mu Ling'er was right; although the injury wasn't serious, Mu An was indeed injured.

The title "Lord of the Mountains of the Myriad Spirits Domain" is not just a title, but a precise description of one's status in the celestial realm.

In battles within the Myriad Spirits Domain, the Demon Saint Cang Yue can draw upon the power of the mountains of the Myriad Spirits Domain, making him incredibly powerful.

Even Mu An suffered a considerable loss.

In a one-on-one fight, Mu An, who possessed the Book of Creation, was not afraid of this Lord of the Mountains of the Myriad Spirits Domain.

But the Myriad Spirits Realm has never had just one Demon Saint.

If the Celestial Master hadn't intervened and stopped the Twelve Demon Saints, Mu An would have had no choice but to back down.

The Yin-Yang Taiji diagram suspended above the Myriad Spirits Domain terrified all the Demon Saints. Across 90,000 miles, a single array diagram blocked the twelve Demon Saints.

Even mythology wouldn't dare to write it like this!

The Taiji diagram spanning the sky terrified the demon saints. The demon saints repeatedly emphasized that humans and demons have always been at peace, both being part of the Nine Realms and an important component of heaven and earth.

We want peace, not war. Let's sit down and talk things out. Everything is negotiable.

The thirteen demon saints were of one mind and enthusiastically gave Mu An sixteen longevity peaches, which he couldn't refuse.

Thirteen coins were given to the Old Celestial Master, and three were given to Mu An, simply to express to the Old Celestial Master their desire for the demon race to be law-abiding and obedient.

The outcome of this battle astonished everyone in the world.

Nearly six hundred years later, the Old Celestial Master once again demonstrated his absolute strength, proving just how the title of "Number One in the World" truly meant.

Compared to suppressing the Demon Lord from three thousand miles away six hundred years ago, this victory is even more terrifying, making it completely incomprehensible what level the Old Celestial Master is currently at.

All the schemers who originally wanted to challenge the authority of the Taoist sect disappeared without a trace, and instead went to burn incense and worship the gods, donating money for incense and offerings at exorbitant prices.

In an instant, the reputation of Taoism soared, and countless young men and women, full of enthusiasm, went up the mountain to become Taoist priests.

……

On the day the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram traversed the entire realm of spirits.

Deep within the sacred Buddhist site of Lingshan Temple, a monk draped in a moon-white robe stands atop a mountain, gazing towards the direction of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Behind the monk was a gleaming golden wheel, and he held prayer beads in his hands, sighing incessantly.

"How could it come to this? How could it come to this! Is there truly no humanity left?"

"With all beings sinking into depravity, and the world so vast, who can stop them?"

……

Chengtian Domain, atop the mountains.

The painting master put down his brush and gazed towards the location of the Myriad Spirits Realm.

He wore a long robe painted with mountains and seas, his brows furrowed.

"How can it be so powerful? How did it do that?"

After watching for a while, the painting master withdrew his gaze, picked up his brush again, and continued to paint the world he saw onto the scroll.

"Fine, whatever the Celestial Master wants to do is none of my business."

"The most important thing right now is to draw the whole world. When that one descends again, and I have fully realized my seven emotions, I will leave this world."

……

Winter of the fiftieth year of the Tianshun reign.

Mu An's confidant, General Lin Ping of Qishan Road, passed away at home.

Mu An visited Lin Ping to bid him farewell, and then shoveled the first handful of soil at the funeral seven days later.

He stood in front of Lin Ping's grave for an hour, and all the people who came to mourn also stood there for an hour.

The following day, Qishan Dao announced that it would redraw its territory, and that all areas within the boundary markers would be Qishan Dao's territory.

Lin Ping's son, Lin Kai, was promoted to Right General of Qishan Road.

Thus, the territory of Qishan Road expanded further, encompassing the entire Lingzhou, one-third of Jiangzhou, and one-quarter of Yongzhou.
