Chapter 2121: Don’t Disappoint Yourselves

Qingfeng went on the alert when she saw someone suddenly appear and she demanded, “Who are you and what are you doing here?!”

Qing Yu’s cheek twitched and she lifted her head from Lu Yun’s embrace, composing herself. She raised her eyebrows with a smile when she saw the frosty girl. “Is this your girl in this world?”

“EH?! Uh, uh, n-no…” Lu Yun stammered wildly, but didn’t know how to explain himself.

Qing Yu burst out laughing at his awkward state and smiled at Qingfeng. “I am Lu Yun’s wife. I’ve come to find him.”

The girl, however, remained frowning. This was the heavenly palace and the yin tomb that Lu Yun spoke of. How had the newcomer found her way here?

“Miss Qingfeng, she is my wife.” Lu Yun collected his senses and smiled easily. “She’s crossed time and space to come in search of me.”

Waves of emotions reared in his heart and none of his usual aplomb could be found. There were only two people in existence who could affect his mental state at his current level of strength.

Qing Yu and Tushan Miao.

“Forget about this, let’s get out first.” He took Qing Yu’s hand and headed for the exit.

The tomb owner… the dead young man… was the biggest threat in this tomb. He wouldn’t do anything to Lu Yun now, so there was no threat to the young man in the yin tomb anymore. All the same, what he saw weighed heavily on his heart.

Bricks!

Reality was being refined into a brick! And one used to build a city!

There had indeed once been a reality in the nothing, one that opposed nihil and formed the yin and yang diagram. But for reasons unknown, someone shattered that reality and extended the nothing throughout everything.

The fragments of reality turned into specks that were the worlds they knew. His patch of existence wasn’t the only reality, it was just one of the fragments. There were plenty of these shards in the nothing.

So his direction had been wrong from the very beginning.

Lu Yun was more lost and confused than anything. Why turn reality into bricks? The fragments could absolutely be reassembled into reality again, just how the broken world of immortals had been joined together again into a whole world.

But he couldn’t be bothered to think through this now. His hand held his entire world—Qing Yu. She’d died for him so that she could come here. Even though it cut his heart with the pain of a thousand blades, he would not be ungrateful for her good intentions.

“Husband.” Her voice echoed in Lu Yun’s mind. “When I came, Mo Yi said not to bother with the truth. Do whatever you’d like to do.”

The young man smiled ruefully at his dao partner. “What I want to do most is to go home. But I can’t.”

“Mm.” Qing Yu pursed her lips and suddenly flung herself at Lu Yun, placing her lips on his. The two of them embraced ardently in the tomb and kissed each other with passion.

Qingfeng was dumbfounded, having no idea what’d happened to the two locked in hunger. Things had been fine a second ago, hadn’t they? Why were they kissing all of a sudden?

Although the world was filled with despair, there was still love and affection as the species needed to propagate. It was part of their instinctive nature, so Qingfeng could understand their actions.

She just didn’t understand why they were suddenly engaging in these actions.

The two exchanged their yearning for each other in a long series of kisses before parting with great reluctance. Lu Yun took a moment to recollect his thoughts—he knew how to proceed from here.

He took a deep breath as he looked at Qing Yu and said softly, “I know what to do. The two of us together is immortal dao. We need to let the flower of immortal dao blossom in this bleak world!”

The Dao Sovereign and the master of immortal dao. The great dao had long since taken root in their hearts, even though they weren’t in the world of immortals at the moment and even if they abandoned immortal dao. As long as they joined hands, they could recreate a new immortal dao no matter where they were.

Since heaven and earth were dead in this world, let immortal dao be its heaven and earth!

Hummm.

Two black flames flared in Lu Yun’s eyes—hellfire. An image of the Tome of Life and Death slowly manifested within them and the long dormant power of reincarnation erupted, running through Lu Yun’s body.

White light also blossomed over Qing Yu’s body as a resplendent golden palace seemed to shine over her head.

The heavenly palace!

The palace of immortal dao.

While Lu Yun oversaw the kingdom of hell, Qing Yu beheld the heavenly palace. It manifested in this world given Lu Yun’s new resolution.

Rumble—

The floating tomb and palace over the clouds trembled. Countless beings cried out in shock as their palace shone with rays of splendor, resonating with the heavenly palace over Qing Yu’s head.

With that, Lu Yun discovered that the yin tomb layout had been destroyed. The yin and yang tombs had become one and the layout of burial was swiftly dismantled in the next second.

Lu Yun, Qing Yu, and Qingfeng arrived at the real palace over the clouds—a glittering, magnificent palace that was filled with a lifeless air. Hundreds of powerful beings stared at them; time froze in the next second and they were petrified on the spot.

A young man in white slowly walked out of the void.

“The Dao King!” Lu Yun nearly went off in another daze when he took a clear look at the newcomer. It was the real Dao King, he was here too!

“Long time no see.” The Dao King smiled at Lu Yun and Qing Yu beneath him. “This is also our last meeting.”

“What do you mean?” Lu Yun blinked, then watched as the Dao King spread out his arms and slowly faded away into motes of white light. “What are you doing?!” He knew what the Dao King intended to do and roared with protest. “What will Mo Yi do if you die?!”

“She doesn’t need me,” the Dao King chuckled. “She has never needed me. My final resting place has always been here. With my flesh and blood as sacrifice and soul as catalyst, I will summon the spirits of heaven and earth.”

Boooom.

The Dao King fully dissolved and faded away in the void. The power of heaven and earth streamed to them from all sides and barrelled into Lu Yun and Qing Yu’s body.

“You two are the hope of all living beings, so… don’t disappoint yourselves.”
