Chapter 1905 - 523: Rushing Toward Death, Attaining the Dao Through Death (The End)

Yu Ziqing looked at the two old men, and his mood instantly improved considerably.

Especially when he saw Shi practicing Body Refinement, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Of course, this old guy has worked hard for too long. It's time to relax and do something he couldn't do before but is interested in now.

Before, he noticed that Shi was particularly interested in Body Cultivation, often saying reflexively how things would have been if there had been Body Cultivation in his era.

Shi can't change back; he always thinks about how something can be used and how to make the most of it.

Yu Ziqing wanted to advise him, but then he realized that Shi had maintained this state, crossing two or three eras, and it was precisely this state that enabled him to persist without ever wavering.

One shouldn't find fault now that those big troubles have been resolved.

Well, let the old man be happy as he pleases; it's better that someone remembers these things.

It would be best if he could record everything he knows and turn it into stories to pass on.

After waking up, Yu Ziqing stayed in the village for a few days before returning to Dadui.

He went to the academy, and it was still bustling, still filled with all sorts of strange characters.

The little blacks were studying and receiving education here, and it seemed quite effective. At least, they each learned some restraint.

The Heavenly Monarch was mixing in here, even being fleeced by old Yu, given the title of professor to teach students here.

Now it was even better, this academy not only had all kinds of things but even the dead were present.

Yu Ziqing initially pondered whether if the Heavenly Monarch wanted to retain consciousness, he could try to reincarnate.

Given his strength, if Yu Ziqing was willing to help, there was still a considerable chance.

The Heavenly Monarch refused, feeling that as long as he didn't exert his full strength, he could exist for a long time, at least longer than a mortal's life.

He was very open-minded, feeling that this was enough.

Because seeing the endpoint made the current companionship even more precious.

He didn't want to gamble on the slim chance of successful reincarnation, fearing that if he lost, he would lose even the current companionship.

And if he reached the end, he would have no power left to attempt consciousness reincarnation.

Yu Ziqing respected the Heavenly Monarch's own thoughts and didn't bring up the matter again.

Instead, he went to find the Yang-destroying Devil.

He wanted to fulfill his promise, to send the Yang-destroying Devil on his way.

At first, he would secretly mock the Yang-destroying Devil, thinking there was something wrong with his mind, but now he truly admired the Yang-destroying Devil's firm heart in seeking the path.

If he could help, he naturally wanted to send him on his way.

He arrived at Jiachen City, and the little temple of the Yang-destroying Devil was still desolate, with no restrictions and no one coming or going.

But outside the little temple, it was still bustling.

This was a place that was both peculiar and perfectly reasonable.

Just like watching a beheading could evolve into a cultural label, and the crowd gathered, but no one wanted to be the beheaded.

Yu Ziqing entered the courtyard of the Yang-destroying Devil's little temple, where it was cold and quiet, with a force that enforced calmness.

Upon entering the temple, one would instantly feel that the world seemed to have lost its color, and the living instinctively rejected this place, with every hair standing in opposition.

Yu Ziqing looked as usual at the memorial tablet covered by a red cloth and said.

"Have you found the road toward death yourself?"

"I can't find it..." the Yang-destroying Devil said in a somewhat dejected tone.

"You'll see ghosts if you manage to find it, because there is no road."

"Huh?"

"Let's go, I can only try, giving you a slim chance, whether you can cross it depends on yourself."

"Having a chance is good, even if it's just touching it."

Yu Ziqing took the memorial tablet of the Yang-destroying Devil, left Jiachen City, and headed to the Abyss, directly aiming for the place where the Undying Mandala resided.

Previously, the Undying Mandala agreed to help because of the promise that if the Yang-destroying Devil could approach death, it would be brought along.

Now, regardless of success, he had to come here.

Arriving at the place, Yu Ziqing looked distantly at the Undying Mandala, its petals as large as land had already started to wilt a few.

Yu Ziqing could tell that even without the previous incident, the Undying Mandala had already begun to decline from its prime blooming period.

But for an Immortal Herb, this decline could last for a very long time.

Long enough that in the next era, the Undying Mandala might still be around.

"We're here, let's try, if possible, this time when the Yang-destroying Devil seizes the chance, it will journey toward death, and at that time, it will take you along."

The Undying Mandala didn't say anything, it just waited.

Yu Ziqing didn't waste words either, he uncovered the red cloth on the Yang-destroying Devil's memorial tablet.

The front of the tablet was pitch black, as if swallowing the light.

Yu Ziqing took out a red pen, gathered his strength, enveloped his understanding of death, and all the information the world inherently had about death.

He condensed it all into black and red ink, writing in one breath on the front of the Yang-destroying Devil's memorial tablet.

"Death."

The two big characters were written, this was all Yu Ziqing could do.

He was helping the Yang-destroying Devil seek the path, not killing the Yang-destroying Devil.

Even if both pertained to death, there was a fundamental difference.

As soon as Yu Ziqing finished writing, he finally felt a trace of his Undying Divine Power being activated.

His body was repelled, thrown far away from the Yang-destroying Devil.

The next moment, the Death Domain expanded from the Yang-destroying Devil's tablet, everything in its path turned gray and bleak, everything lost its luster, leaving only black, white, and gray.
