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

What is a terrestrial deity?

One's spirit and soul are entrusted to heaven and earth, one comprehends the great Dao within oneself, one unites with the Dao, and embarks on the true path of seeking the Dao.

It converses with the sun, moon, and stars; it coexists with mountains, rivers, plants, and trees; it communicates with birds, beasts, insects, and fish; and it meets with all the spirits of heaven and earth.

The terrestrial immortals resonate with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth; they call upon the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and Heaven and Earth respond to them.

In Eastern civilizations, they are called immortals; in Western civilizations, they are called gods.

From this perspective, the life essence of terrestrial immortals has already transformed; they are no longer mortals.

To reach this level, talent, comprehension, resources, and mindset are all indispensable.

Such a state is one you can reach if you can, and one you can't if you can't.

Throughout the years, Mu An had always thought this way and didn't see anything wrong with it.

Until he saw Bai Ling, who was similar to Mu Ling'er in every way, reach the realm of a terrestrial immortal.

Doubts welled up in Mu An's mind.

What Mu Ling'er couldn't do in nearly three hundred years, how could Bai Ling do it in just forty years?

These two are clearly of similar talent and have equally poor comprehension. Even their personalities have a lot in common.

From the perspective of seeking the Dao, the path Bai Ling is now taking is also a path of benefiting all under heaven.

Essentially, this is the same path that Mu Ling'er once walked; she inherited Mu Ling'er's will.

In other words, they are seeking the same path, and there is no distinction between them.

Is the Bai family's bloodline stronger?

Impossible! He had already reshaped Mu Ling'er's bloodline without her knowledge.

Many years ago, Mu Ling'er had Mu An's blood flowing in her veins.

For some reason, the blood transfusion did not change Mu Ling'er's condition. After reaching the limit of the Celestial Martial Saint, Mu Ling'er never made any further progress.

That is why Mu An thought of placing his hopes on reincarnation. He left enough backup plans to interfere with Mu Ling'er's future before she was born.

In Mu An's opinion, since Mu Ling'er couldn't break through, there was no reason why Bai Ling could break through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal, unless the problem was never with Bai Ling.

……

When doubts arose in her heart, all the questions that had been ignored in the past rushed into Mu An's mind all at once.

Yes, the Book of Creation is supreme, its level pointing directly to the source, directly to the Great Dao itself.

Having come this far, Mu An's realm has reached a level close to the world level. How could he possibly fail to create a terrestrial immortal?

Even though the realm of terrestrial immortals is quite profound, since the world itself can create such a product, why couldn't Mu An do it with his abilities?

He had long since transcended the limitations of the Nine Realms Heavenly Dao, so how could he possibly be unable to solve Mu Ling'er's problems?

What right does the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Realms have to restrict Mu An's methods?

Even the smallest favor he bestows can create countless powerful individuals.

A weapon that can be forged at will can annihilate a terrestrial deity.

Who among those who followed him did not receive immense benefits?

It's so simple in other places, so why does it change when it comes to Mu Ling'er?

Why did he take it for granted that there was nothing wrong with all of this over the long years?

Why would anyone assume that Mu Ling'er could not possibly break through to the level of a terrestrial immortal?

……

One question after another flashed through Mu An's mind. Standing at the very front of the cloud boat, Mu An's thoughts were particularly complicated.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, Mu An had already reorganized all his memories since arriving in the Nine Realms in his mind.

Past experiences reappeared one after another, and various doubts arose in my mind.

As the damp sea breeze blew, Mu An's heart sank little by little, just like the deep, dark ocean beneath her feet.

There are too many problems.

From today's perspective, he has been taking a roundabout route for the past few hundred years.

The most serious of these problems is why he only realized something was wrong now.

This is very abnormal, extremely abnormal.

"call--"

After pondering for a long time, Mu An still couldn't come up with an answer. He could only temporarily suppress all his confusion and continue with his current life.

The truth needs to be sought, but not necessarily in the present moment.

Even if you find the answer without sufficient power, it may not be the result you want.

only……

With so many odd things going on, will Mu Ling'er really be reincarnated as he imagined?

Mu An had no answers and could only keep everything bottled up inside.

……

The next morning, without informing Bai Ling and Li Yin, Mu An left the cloud boat alone and went to Qi'an City.

Time has passed, and Qi'an City is no longer as glorious and prosperous as it was during the Great Qi Dynasty. However, as the former capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, Qi'an City is still one of the most prosperous cities in the world.

If there is anything different, it is that this magnificent ancient capital no longer belongs to any empire.

Fifty years ago, the Apocalypse Domain ushered in a long-awaited peace, and Mu Yong and Bai Xi signed an agreement to divide the Apocalypse Domain.

To everyone's surprise, on the seventh day after the agreement was signed, just after Mu Yong returned to Qing'an Prefecture, the grown-up Xiao Yongning barged into the palace and went straight to Mu Yong.

No one knows what they talked about, but the day after Xiao Yongning broke into the palace, Mu Yong issued an imperial edict that baffled countless people.

In the name of the Great True Lord, Xiao Yongning was conferred the title of Princess Yongning, and according to the ancient map of the Great Qi Dynasty, the vast city of Qi'an was bestowed upon Princess Yongning.

The imperial edict was difficult for the court officials to understand, but when the words "Great True Lord" were uttered, the outcome was already predetermined, and no one dared to raise any questions.

The will of the True Lord is above all else; the will of the gods cannot be disobeyed.

The Great Empire immediately acknowledged the imperial edict and voluntarily relinquished its rule over Qi'an City.

Thus, the magnificent palace of Qi'an City welcomed a new master, a sickly man who was either ill or on his way to becoming ill.

Even though she has now been forcibly fed into becoming a Celestial Martial Saint, Princess Yongning still cannot escape the fate of vomiting blood every three days and falling seriously ill every seven days.

On the contrary, because her cultivation level increased day by day and her endurance gradually improved, Princess Yongning's illness frequency and severity also skyrocketed.

In severe cases, she could vomit blood on the street and be hurriedly sent back to the palace by a group of servants.

Princess Yongning caused numerous problems on various formal occasions.

Princess Yongning always left halfway through every major event held in Qi'an City over the past fifty years, never completing the entire event.

If she's unlucky, this sickly princess might even fall straight to the ground in front of a crowd of people.
