"Infuse with spiritual energy?"
Zhong Yi paused for a moment, then felt a surge of joy.
Just like the final choice in "This Demonic Cultivator Isn't So Cold," it's a classic Lu-style ending.
Use your real-world cultivation to change the ending of the illusion!
Zhong Yi's choice remains unchanged.
"All in!!!"
He subconsciously shouted out a word he had learned from "The King of Auctions," and then poured all his spiritual energy into it.
【At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name for a super convenient way to read great books from Taiwan】
This move immediately shocked the viewers in the live stream chat.
【All spiritual energy?】
【Are you out of your mind?】
【He's obviously a newbie... Back when he fought Stan, Lao Zhong just used all his cultivation to easily defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator...】
Is it worth it? It's just an illusion.
【What's not worth it to make up for the regret?】
【If it were someone else's illusion, it certainly wouldn't be worth it. But "To the Moon Realm"... I can only say that when Gu Yun and Lin Xi ascended the Heavenly Ladder, the art was already complete, and it's absolutely worth it!】
...
With all of Zhong Yi's spiritual energy poured in.
Lu Ze, standing before him, revealed a playful smile.
Centered on him, an incomparably magnificent dream-making array suddenly unfolded, enveloping the entire dream world.
Countless streams of spiritual energy surged from Zhong Yi's body into the great formation, making the formation's light even brighter.
"Go and see... the new world you are about to arrive in."
That's all.
The dream world is gradually collapsing.
The illusion was plunged into a brief darkness.
...
A violent jolt.
"Ah... Ahhh!!!"
The familiar scream made Zhong Yi open his eyes groggily.
"It's going to crash...it's going to crash! Quick, help me stop it, Junior Brother Zhong!!!"
"???"
Completely bewildered, he fell off the earth dragon.
This familiar start made Zhong Yi think that he had accidentally started the third playthrough of "Go to the Moon Realm".
“I know, it was the disciple in charge of procurement who didn’t do a proper inspection. There should be three holes below the horns of this earth dragon, indicating it’s a flawed species prone to going berserk.”
Zhong Yi preemptively interrupted Qin Li'en, leaving the latter looking completely bewildered.
He glanced around and his heart sank.
It's still that familiar hilltop. Looking up, you can see the old house and the straight lighthouse.
This is Gu Yun's residence.
Apart from the fact that it was getting late, the plot remained unchanged from before!
"What are you standing there for? Let's go! The client is waiting for us."
Qin Li'en looked at Zhong Yi with a puzzled expression and urged him on.
Zhong Yi took a deep breath: "Is the client's surname Gu?"
"nonsense."
Qin Li'en rolled her eyes at him and walked ahead of him.
Zhong Yi suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart, and followed Qin Li'en with a numb expression.
"How could this happen? What went wrong...?"
Zhong Yi was completely baffled.
"Could it be that even the spiritual energy of a Nascent Soul cultivator isn't enough? That shouldn't be the case..."
The more he thought about it, the more impossible it seemed.
Although Lu Ze's style of doing things is unconventional, he will never ignore the experience of low-level cultivators.
"So where did the problem lie?"
Zhong Yi frowned, then asked Qin Li'en:
"Senior sister, has the Nine Heavens Sect activated the Nine Heavens Grand Array or ascended to the Moon Realm in the last hundred years?"
"ha???"
Qin Li'en turned her head and looked at Zhong Yi with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.
"Do you even know what kind of strength is needed to ascend to the Moon Realm from the Heavenly Ladder...? Where did this bunch of idiots from the Nine Heavens Sect come from?"
"oh......"
Zhong Yi nodded silently.
In other words...
The false memories he created for Gu Yun in her dream did not come true.
It seems I've been deceived by Lu Ze.
"Junior Brother Lu!"
Zhong Yi gritted his teeth, wishing he could go offline and have a heart-to-heart talk with Lu Ze right now.
"Phew... We've finally arrived."
Qin Li'en wiped the sweat from her forehead and knocked on the door.
No one agreed.
Zhong Yi, who was about to exit the illusion, stopped what he was doing.
He was still somewhat unwilling to give up.
"I think I might know where he is."
After saying that, Zhong Yi led Qin Li'en to the hill behind the old house.
Sure enough, under the lighthouse, he saw the familiar white-haired old man sitting alone on the bench.
It's Gu Yun.
He was staring blankly at the graves beneath the lighthouse.
Zhong Yi was utterly devastated.
Everything was exactly the same as I remembered, without any change.
Even though he tried his best, he couldn't save Lin Xi and Gu Yun's fate.
"Are you Old Master Gu? I am a disciple of the Dream Weaving Sect..."
Qin Li'en didn't waste any words and went straight up to introduce herself.
Zhong Yi didn't hear a word of their small talk.
He picked a bunch of wildflowers from the side and walked to the grave.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is your deceased wife's grave, isn't it?"
Zhong Yi squatted down and placed wildflowers in front of the grave, his words tinged with melancholy.
"Yes...how did you know?"
The old man looked at Zhong Yi with a curious expression.
"Not only that, I also know that your wish is to go to the Moon Realm... but your real wish is not to go to the Moon Realm, but to go to the Forest... uh???"
Zhong Yi was speaking when he suddenly froze on the spot.
Because the name written on the grave is not Lin Xi, but a person named Chen Yue.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by going to the Moon Realm... This is so nonsensical."
The old man looked at Zhong Yi with a puzzled expression.
"Junior brother, have you misread the spirit contract? Old Master Gu Feng's wish... is to write a poem for his deceased wife..."
Qin Li'en whispered in Zhong Yi's ear.
"Gu...Gu Feng!?"
Zhong Yi's breath hitched suddenly, and then he felt a surge of joy.
Just then, a ray of bright moonlight fell on Zhong Yi's face.
Suddenly, a commotion arose overhead.
"You're such a grown-up, yet you still remember these things every day..."
Gu Feng laughed and cursed, then raised his cane and shouted at the sky.
"Brother Yun, you two calm down! I have something to say to the Immortal Master!!"
"No, no need... It's fine."
Zhong Yi quickly stopped Gu Feng, looking up with red eyes.
Gu Yun and Lin Xi, both with white hair, are standing on the rooftop at the top of the lighthouse, pointing to the bright moon and stars in the sky.
"Yun, have you found it?"
"Found it, what about you?"
"Yes, a bit faster than you."
"But the rabbit I found is definitely bigger!"
"I don't believe you, show me the numbers."
"Okay! Look, here, here, and here..."
...
Zhong Yi's eyes welled up with tears again.
"Junior brother, what's wrong?"
Qin Li'en asked with concern.
"No, it's nothing."
Zhong Yi wiped his eyes, but couldn't dry them no matter what he did. He laughed and cried at the same time, watching the two people searching for rabbits on the lighthouse for a long time.
The lingering regret in my heart has finally vanished.
"By the way, old man, have you thought of a poem yet?"
Zhong Yi asked.
"Of course I've thought it through! I'll read it to you, and you can judge... uh? Wait a minute, what did I write back then??"
Gu Feng awkwardly rummaged through the small note in his pocket.
"Old Master Gu has a bad memory. It seems he wrote a poem for his wife but recited it wrong at the time, and he's held a grudge ever since... That's a rather strange regret, isn't it?"
Qin Li'en whispered in Zhong Yi's ear.
"Old Master Gu, I happen to have a poem here. How about I give it to you?"
"Please speak, Immortal Master!"
"People experience sorrow and joy, separation and reunion; the moon waxes and wanes, and nothing in this world is ever perfect..."
Zhong Yi looked at the full moon in the sky and recited with a smile:
May we all live long and share the beauty of the moon, even though we are thousands of miles apart!
