Yun Zhi had to return to her hometown for some matters, and when she returned to Heaven’s Gate Peak Mountain, she found it deserted, with only the Green Peak Sword planted in the ground, exuding an extraordinary aura.

She entered the small world of the Green Peak Sword and saw four Semi-Immortals fighting, all of whom she recognized.

Plus the small white tiger lying on the ground, so in total, were there five Semi-Immortals involved in the battle?

This scale of battle seemed to have only occurred during Ancient Times when Semi-Immortals roamed everywhere.

"Stop fighting!"

Fairy Eternity shouted, halting the battle among the four Semi-Immortals. With a formidable enemy ahead, it was not the time for infighting.

As the leader of two major forces, her word was law, and none dared disobey. Ao Ling, Jiang Lianyi, Yun Mengmeng, and Sha Meless, four great experts, simultaneously ceased fighting and stood behind Fairy Eternity.

Jin Caiwei also stopped playing dead and quickly got up to join the group.

At that moment, the herd mentality proved very effective.

Fairy Eternity spread her arms, with the five Semi-Immortals standing on either side of her, lined up in order.

This was the force she had painstakingly cultivated to overcome Yun Zhi!

Lu Yang turned his head and glanced up at Fairy Eternity floating behind him, then crouched down and stealthily moved to the least conspicuous position in the team.

"Miss Yun, bet you didn’t expect that, right beneath your eyes, I could amass such a considerable force!" Fairy Eternity proudly boasted to Yun Zhi about her power.

Aside from Emperor Xia, the Prime Minister of the Great Bean Dynasty, all the people from the Great Bean Dynasty were present.

All four members of the Immortal Lineage were there, among them Yun Mengmeng, who also held several positions, including Chief of Staff of the Great Bean Dynasty.

Actually, the Seek Dao Sect also had a faction opposing Yun Zhi—Little Medicinal Kings from the medicine garden; however, it was too late to call them now.

"Everyone attack together and let Miss Yun witness our capabilities!" Fairy Eternity commanded, and Yun Mengmeng made the first move.

"Watch out!"

Yun Mengmeng had never been so vigorous before, even during her battle with Ao Ling.

Yun Zhi’s eyes twitched, wondering why you were stirring up trouble here.

Initially hesitant and unsure whether to attack, Jin Caiwei saw that even Yun Mengmeng, who had just condensed the Dao Fruit Outline at the early stage of Tribulation, took action, so she figured it should be no problem for her to join in.

Besides, wasn’t Immortal Sister around to back them up?

"Roar—"

Jin Caiwei transformed into a majestic, enormous Skeleton Winged White Tiger, and upon seeing this, Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi, not to be outdone, also transformed into their Dragon Phoenix True Forms.

True Dragon, Phoenix, and Qiongqi—these three legendary immortal beasts, even during Ancient Times, had never joined forces against an enemy. Historically unprecedented, these three beasts were actually cooperating now!

Sha Meless looked gloomy, honestly going up to self-detonate as a warm-up.

Why was it that today he was not fighting Jiang Lianyi, then Yun Zhi? Being a Semi-Immortal, why had he only encountered such opponents ever since his debut, without a single win?

Speaking of which, the only time he had an advantage was during a fight with the second Chief of Staff from Great Yu.

"Charge now, this is the time when the dynasty needs you to charge into battle. Once we defeat Miss Yun, being promoted and ennobling you as nobles and ministers is not beyond us—"

Fairy Eternity stepped forward to inspire the troops, promising ranks and rich rewards.

Lu Yang felt that being promoted and ennobled with higher ranks and appointments as ministers had its difficulties; posthumous recognition was more likely.

The three Great Generals, invigorated, formed the Three Powers Formation. Ao Ling, having the strongest physique, charged at the forefront while Jiang Lianyi and Jin Caiwei flanked him, cooperating flawlessly.

Fairy Eternity exemplified a true monarch amongst rulers; unlike other monarchs who merely commanded armies, she personally participated in the battle against Yun Zhi.

Fairy Eternity’s decision was firm, and not even the senior imperial adviser Lu Yang’s persuasion could sway her.

As a close witness to the rise of the Great Bean Dynasty and designated as the next Bean Emperor, Lu Yang, seeing the decline of the Great Bean Dynasty, could not help but feel a sense of lament.

Lu Yang used the Heaven-Deceiving Life-Defying Technique and the Ground Shrinking Technique to bury himself in the ground, resolving to share fate with the Great Bean Dynasty.

...

Time flew by, and as swiftly as it came, the mighty river of the east washed away all heroes.

A pale hand emerged from the grave, and a young man climbed out, his eyes clouded with confusion.

"How long have I slept? What year is it now, and why am I here?"

He saw the ravaged small world around him, and the dead bodies of once-invincible acquaintances from various eras, their memories gradually reawakening.

"The founders of the Great Bean Dynasty, Fairy Eternity, the Dragon Clan Ancestor Ao Ling, the Phoenix Ancestor Jiang Lianyi… Have these awe-inspiring figures ultimately failed to defeat that unparalleled enemy?"

Lu Yang’s lips trembled, unable to believe the harsh reality before him, "The Semi-Immortals have fallen; why am I the only one alive?"

"What are you mumbling about, Second-in-command?" Fairy Eternity rose from the ground as if nothing had happened.

Ao Ling, Jiang Lianyi, and others also came back to life one after another.

"Oh, it’s nothing." Lu Yang regained his composure, as if he hadn’t been the one talking just a moment before.

Jin Caiwei was the most shocked of all, as the recent battle had been devastating, and they, the Semi-Immortals, couldn’t withstand even two moves from this person named Yun Zhi.

Who exactly is she?

"This is our Master of the Heavenly Court Sect." Seeing that Jin Caiwei didn’t recognize the Eldest Senior Sister, Lu Yang introduced her.

"She’s also a part of our Ancient Heavenly Court?" Jin Caiwei hadn’t expected that aside from the Immortal Sister, there would be such a venerable figure among their ranks.

"I brought a few peaches; let’s share them." Yun Zhi caused everyone to perk up as she unwrapped her bundle to reveal freshly picked Immortal Peaches from back home.

Originally, she had intended these for her Junior Brother after his Body Refinement, to celebrate his achievement with a few peaches.

Little did she expect that upon her return, she would find everyone in a huge melee in the Green Peak Sword’s Small World.

"These are Immortal Peaches!" Jin Caiwei’s eyes lit up; these were incredibly precious items, once tasted through the generosity of the Qilin Immortal.

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi hadn’t tasted Immortal Peaches for a long time, and suddenly bringing them out made them quite nostalgic.

Only Yun Mengmeng behaved most indifferently, "Xiao Zhi, these peaches are...?"

Yun Zhi used a look to warn her close friend to be cautious with her words, "I grew them from peach pits."

"Ah? Oh right, that’s true."

"You can grow Immortal Peach trees from peach pits?" Fairy Eternity wondered, unaware of this possibility.

"You can," said Yun Zhi confidently.

Post-battle, everyone gathered to share the peaches, filling the air with the sweet scent of the fruit. The scene was warm and cozy, and Fairy Eternity, using Lu Yang’s body, also enjoyed an Immortal Peach.

"Delicious—it’s just like the old times."

"Although not as good as Immortal Sister’s cooking, it’s still quite delicious."

Except for Sha Meless who, being a Soul Body, missed out.

In the Spiritual Space, after tasting the Immortal Peach, Fairy Eternity remembered the total annihilation of the Great Bean Dynasty and sighed deeply.

"What’s wrong, Fairy?"

"Could I only resort to eating humans?"

Lu Yang was greatly startled, "Why would it come to consuming humans?"

"Isn’t it the story you told me, Little Yang, about an Emperor who, after being defeated and taken captive, dug out his own heart and liver to fight back and ultimately returned in triumph?"

"…Fairy, what I told you was about enduring hardships to exact revenge."

"That’s quite an elegant expression."
