"A Chuan!"
Consort Yun Zhiyi threw herself into your embrace, crying like a child.
"It's alright now, we won."
You held Yun Zhiyi in your arms, gently stroking her cheek.
"Why?" Yun Zhiyi looked at you, dazed, and said, "I don't want any of that, I only want you, A Chuan."
You smiled and said, "I've always been here, and I'll be with you forever."
Your days were numbered.
Your Qi was depleted, unable to achieve Ascension, and your journey of life had reached its end.
In the forty-sixth year of Chang'an, the Great Liang Imperial Dynasty was annihilated, ending a short and not-so-brilliant era, like a fleeting moment.
You fulfilled your long-cherished wish of avenging your mother.
In the same year, the Yun Chuan Dynasty was established.
The first emperor of the Yun Chuan Dynasty was the former Southern Border Consort Yun Zhiyi, who, after five thousand years, became another female emperor on this land.
The name of the Yun Chuan Female Emperor was destined to be remembered through the ages.
"The imperial robe looks much better on you than on me."
On the Dragon Throne, you and Yun Zhiyi leaned against each other. Your hair had long turned white, while she looked even younger, graceful and noble.
Yun Zhiyi said, "A Chuan, I have one more gift to give you."
"What gift?"
Normally, upon hearing this, you would have been alarmed, but now you were fearless; everything was set in stone.
Your greatest scheme in this life was used on your beloved.
You occasionally wondered, "Will she be lonely living in this world by herself?"
Yun Zhiyi led you to an underground city.
At the center of the city was a colossal furnace, radiating astonishing heat, distorting the air itself.
Yun Zhiyi led you to the furnace.
She bit her fingertip, and as her blood dripped into the furnace, the rolling molten iron within began to churn.
A Dragon's roar echoed through the underground city.
Whoosh! A sharp sword flew out of the furnace. A mere three-foot sword, yet it caused all the swords throughout the entire Yun Chuan Dynasty to hum in unison.
It was the absolute sovereign among swords.
"A Chuan, do you like it?"
Yun Zhiyi smiled as she looked at you. This was the peerless divine sword she had personally forged, nurturing it daily with her heart's blood.
The divine sword was born from intense fire, embodying the deepest affection of beloveds.
You asked, "What is its name?"
"It hasn't been named yet."
You and Yun Zhiyi spent your lives together, yet left no descendants, but you never felt regret. Having your beloved by your side for a lifetime was enough.
From childhood sweethearts to beloved wife, you lived in harmony, growing old together.
Yun Zhiyi's heart had always been with you; you felt it from beginning to end.
You named the divine sword—Yun Xin Divine Sword.
The moment you grasped the Yun Xin Divine Sword, your aging body underwent a continuous transformation; white hair turned to black, and you became radiant.
At the brink of your life, you returned to the Peak Realm.
You knew this was a final burst of energy before death.
You sensed another soaring Sword Intent on the Yun Chuan land; your close friend, the blind man, unwilling to be lonely, burned away his essence, achieving ultimate sublimation.
"Blind man, how about fighting the Heavens one more time?"
You held your sword and ascended towards the Heavens.
The blind man transformed into a long rainbow, flying alongside you, soaring straight into the clouds.
The blind man laughed, "Old man Chuan, can you do it?"
You tightly gripped the yun xin sword, your mind clear as a bright mirror, utterly transparent.
People always said your sword was not pure. The former number one Wine Immortal Lord also said so. Your former sword was indeed not pure.
But this sword was different; it was solely for a battle against the Heavens.
It was pure enough.
The strongest sword move you comprehended in this life was named—Sword Twenty-Three.
Under different Concepts, each time Sword Twenty-Three was unleashed, it was different.
The first time Sword Twenty-Three was used, it was to protect the Consort and slay the assassin god, Jue Wuming. At that time, it contained an extremely strong killing intent.
Its name—Heaven-Shattering Earth-Slaying Sword Twenty-Three.
The second time Sword Twenty-Three was used, it was in a battle against the then number one Wine Immortal Lord. It carried countless emotions.
The grievances of your mother Bai Susu, the loyalty of your father Lin Wuji, the predicament of Old Sword God Li Chengying, the camaraderie with the blind swordsman, and the aspirations of countless soldiers in the Southern Border.
And the protection of your beloved Yun Zhiyi.
It was a sword move that needed to be interpreted with all the emotions of life.
Its name—Sentimental Heaven and Earth Sword Twenty-Three.
The third time you faced Ximen Wuxue, you still used this move.
The last time Sword Twenty-Three was used was at this very moment.
A pure sword, a sword move born for the sword.
Its name—Six Destructions, No Self Sword Twenty-Three.
In that battle, you cleaved open the Heavenly Gate, slaying countless Immortals, and forcefully shattering the divine bridge connecting humans and Immortals.
After the Ancestral Dragon era, another era without Immortals began.
The Luck of the human world was to be determined by the human world.
So-called Immortals and gods had no right to interfere.
You descended from the sky, using your last breath to protect the blind man. Perhaps he could still live as an ordinary person, marry and have children.
At the very last moment, you fell into a warm embrace.
She was so beautiful, but you could no longer clearly see her face.
Lin Chuan slowly woke from the dream.
"Another dream has ended."
"As expected of me."
Lin Chuan was quite satisfied with this dream Reincarnation. Although the love with Yun Zhiyi in the dream had regrets, he had no regrets.
"I'm truly a good man."
Giving every girl in the dream a satisfactory partner.
Lin Chuan enjoyed this feeling very much.
Anyway, they were all dream people; once the dream ended, they would depart, with no burden whatsoever, and no love-related chaos would arise.
"Ding! Host has completed a full dream Reincarnation. This time, you have gained 100,000 points."
"Given that the intensity of this dream world meets the standard, the Host can receive an additional reward."
"Please select two items from the following rewards to claim."
"Reward One: Sword Move · Sword Twenty-Three."
"Reward Two: Yun Xin Divine Sword."
"Reward Three: Fight the Heavens · Dream Reincarnation Reflection Card."
The items from the dream Reincarnation once again appeared before Lin Chuan, similar to the rewards from the 【Perfect Demonic Lady】 dream.
Lin Chuan had already experienced the power of Sword Twenty-Three in his dream.
He did not hesitate and claimed this reward.
The three sword moves then imprinted themselves into Lin Chuan's mind, but truly unleashing them had a certain difficulty; his Realm was not yet high enough.
Rewards two and three were also very good.
The Yun Xin Divine Sword was personally forged for him by his beloved Yun Zhiyi in the dream, nurtured with her heart's blood, and in the final battle against the Heavens, it unleashed a Sword Intent that surpassed all others.
On the path of cultivation, a handy weapon is very important.
The Reincarnation Reflection Card goes without saying; it represents his highlight moment in the dream Reincarnation, and reflecting it into reality also provides extremely strong combat power.
After careful consideration, Lin Chuan still chose the Yun Xin Divine Sword.
【the wanderer's journey】 and 【Perfect Demonic Lady】 were both low-level Xuanhuan dream Reincarnations, but the former's intensity was clearly lower than the latter's.
If divided according to real-world cultivation Realms:
Qi Cultivation Realm, Meridian Opening Realm, Ascension Realm, Mortal Shedding Realm, Divine Soul Realm, Sky Harmony Realm, Saint Realm, Supreme Realm.
The Heavenly Human Realm in 【the wanderer's journey】 was roughly equivalent to the Sky Harmony Realm in reality, and the so-called Immortals were probably at the Saint Realm level.
The Demon Lord in 【Perfect Demonic Lady】, however, could rival the Supreme Realm.
The White-Clad Sword God Card Lin Chuan obtained from the previous 【Perfect Demonic Lady】 dream Reincarnation could also rival the Supreme Realm.
So he chose the Yun Xin Divine Sword.
Lin Chuan reached out and grasped the virtual sword hilt. The Yun Xin Divine Sword gradually solidified, and with a sword hum, it completely materialized into reality.
