The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

“Immortal Wu Ming, I never thought I would see you again in my lifetime…”

Outside the capital of the Lu Dynasty, the white-haired and hunched Nie Yubing excitedly grasped Li Muyang’s hand.

The little girl who once cheerfully skipped around had now become the empress of the nation.

She had become old, slow, and frail, no longer the mischievous and cute girl she once was.

Behind her stood her descendants.

“Come quickly to pay respects to Immortal Wu Ming! He is the savior of our mortal realm and a great benefactor to the Lu family!”

The white-haired old woman excitedly called her grandchildren to bow before Li Muyang.

She knew Li Muyang didn’t like grand ceremonies, so she brought only a few important descendants and personal guards.

Gazing at such a Nie Yubing, Li Muyang felt a complex mix of emotions.

“You’ve grown old as well…”

Li Muyang sighed, gently channeling a strand of nature’s spiritual energy into Nie Yubing’s body.

The elderly frail body had many ailments already.

This thread of spiritual energy from Li Muyang couldn’t extend her life, but it could help her live more comfortably in her remaining years.

The depletion of nature’s spiritual energy had made cultivators vanish from the human world.

The Tianyuan Continent was originally a world of mortals, with few cultivators.

Now, even with the empire’s empress and wealth across the seas, no Immortal Elixir could be found to cure ailments.

Li Muyang was filled with emotion, but he couldn’t stay here for long.

After a brief reunion with Nie Yubing, he left the imperial city, continuing on a journey with the dazed and inert little wild grass.

And this farewell might mean he would never see Nie Yubing again.

The aged empress was like decaying wood, her lifespan nearing its end.

Li Muyang and little wild grass roamed the lands of the Tianyuan Continent, retracing paths they had walked ten thousand years ago, almost walking the same route again.

In several famous mountains and rivers, Li Muyang could faintly sense the lingering spiritual energy in the mountains.

Decades had passed, yet the spiritual energy in heaven and earth remained scarce.

But cultivators had developed new methods, relying on the dense spirit veins, gathering spiritual energy, and cultivating in seclusion.

Li Muyang also met with Heart Moon Fox, Yu Xiaoshuang. Decades had passed, maturing the master of the Immortal Artifact at Three Immortals Tower significantly.

Yet the cunning could still be seen in her eyes, the ravages of time leaving no marks on her face. Having cultivated to the Heavenly Eternal Realm, Yu Xiaoshuang’s lifespan was much longer than that of mortals.

She traveled alongside Li Muyang for a stretch, lamenting the thin spiritual energy in the mortal world now.

“…As soon as I leave the mountain gate, I can’t sense even the slightest bit of spiritual energy outside. It’s incredibly hard to move; I feel like I’m suffocating.”

“Immortal Wu Ming, when will this spiritual energy in heaven and earth recover?”

“I’m still hoping to attain enlightenment and become immortal, living forever!”

Yu Xiaoshuang chattered on, pouring out her complaints to Li Muyang.

The last layer of the Heaven and Earth Seal had long been broken, yet no cultivator had attained enlightenment in the mortal world.

Even True Man of Green Leaves, invincible under the heavens, still wandered the mortal realm.

Lacking the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cultivators were like stranded fish, expending all their efforts just to maintain their existence.

The spiritual energy of today couldn’t support a True Immortal emerging into the world.

Yu Xiaoshuang worried, concerned that she might see the end of her life without witnessing the recovery of spiritual energy.

Li Muyang smiled and comforted her, “It won’t take that long. After all, you’ve reached the Heavenly Eternal Realm, with a lifespan of nearly a thousand years.”

“In a thousand years, surely the spiritual energy will recover.”

In a mountain hollow, Li Muyang bid farewell to Yu Xiaoshuang.

Heart Moon Fox returned to her mountain gate, to continue her secluded cultivation, quietly waiting for the era of spiritual energy recovery to arrive.

Li Muyang, with little wild grass, went to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

There, they saw the Black Cloud Fort established by Shen Yan.

The villagers were orphans Shen Yan had adopted and raised from various places, all bloodlines of the evil vein remnants on the Tianyuan Continent.

“At first, only ten people could be found, but over decades, the fort developed and grew.”

Shen Yan wore clothing resembling Madam Gu’s style, yet after decades, she hadn’t aged.

Only her hair had turned gray.

She chatted with Li Muyang about the past, about activities in Tianjiao City, and about her ambition to revive the Blood Lotus Sect.

But now, those things no longer mattered.

The Blood Lotus Sect, which had preached and continued its orthodoxy on the Tianyuan Continent, had its doctrines altered by Shen Yan.

After all, the apocalyptic catastrophe had passed, and Blood Lotus Sect’s original teachings were no longer fitting.

Now Blood Lotus Sect had become a very ordinary sect promoting kindness and mutual support among people.

Veterans like Dugu Yifang, who were once elders of Blood Lotus Sect, had either retreated into seclusion or passed away.

The Blood Lotus Sect currently spreading teachings on the Tianyuan Continent was no longer the same as the one causing chaos decades ago in Tianjiao City, except for the name.

Even Shen Yan did not recognize the current Sect Hierarch, Squad Leader, and other members within Blood Lotus Sect.

In the Black Cloud Fort, Li Muyang stayed for a full half-month.

It was the longest he and little wild grass had stayed in one place since embarking on their journey.

This seemingly familiar Black Cloud Fort gave a sense of kinship to the dazed and inert little wild grass. She often sat near the ancestral temple at the center of the village, watching the village below all day long.

After departing from Black Cloud Fort, Li Muyang and little wild grass continued northward.

They watched the sunrise from Shaohua Mountain, observed the sunset at Three Rivers, viewed the tidal bore outside Guanzhou City, and bathed in hot springs within Qingquan Valley.

Many places were those they had visited ten thousand years ago, locations filled with memories of past connections.
