第三千三百七十六章 月儿闪亮登场(中)

Unsure of her personality in past lives, every time she sought to know, Auntie Meng would only smile and be unwilling to say more. But at least in this life, Yue'er loved a peaceful existence.

Though since embarking on the path of cultivation, following Young Master had brought her much hardship and countless trials and tribulations, it didn't matter.

With Young Master by her side, even the most treacherous environment could be endured with joy. Wherever Lin Xuan was, for Yue'er, that place would always be a tranquil haven.

Together they had struggled and cultivated; life with Lin Xuan was something she truly missed.

However, peace is always fleeting.

Before long, Young Master had reached the pinnacle of the mortal world.

As a lower realm cultivator, the thinning essence energy and scarce resources in the mortal world made it impossible for her to advance further.

Young Master once said he wasn't afraid of falling but feared never seeing her again after his demise.

At that moment, Yue'er cried uncontrollably. She didn't want to be separated from Lin Xuan either.

Though past memories were unclear, she was certain no one had ever been as good to her before.

She couldn't bear the separation!

But heaven's ways dictated its own rules; how could a mere mortal transcend birth and death?

Even cultivators couldn't. Though they could live longer, in the end, they too would turn to dust.

Next life?

That was too vague and uncertain.

Who dared truly寄托 their hopes on the afterlife even as a cultivator?

Thus, arduous cultivation became the only choice.

Only by becoming an immortal could one break free from the constraints of lifespan, transcending the Three Realms with a beloved partner for eternity.

"Better to be a pair of swans than an immortal," was indeed a beautiful vow, but without immortality, even the most perfect swan couldn't last forever.

All good things must come to an end. Even blissful happiness could one day mean separation.

Becoming an immortal would change all that.

So, knowing the path ahead was fraught with danger, they continued to support each other.

These were Young Master's words, and Yue'er had no objections. She was willing to face every challenge together.

Finally, after countless hardships and near-death experiences, they found a way to the Spirit Realm.

The future remained uncertain.

But once in the Spirit Realm, new hope would naturally arise.

With Young Master by her side, Yue'er could face any difficulty.

Wherever he was, that place was always a tranquil haven for her.

They had agreed to face all challenges together, no matter what difficulties arose.

Yet, the strange and unpredictable nature of the cultivation world meant not everything could be foreseen.

Back then, on Penglai Immortal Mountain, they stood side by side in front of the same teleportation array. Who would have thought they'd end up in different realms?

Young Master vanished without a trace, leaving Yue'er alone in the unknown Netherworld.

At that time, she was heartbroken and lost, unsure what to do.

This wasn't an exaggeration.

Since embarking on her cultivation journey, Yue'er had never slackened in her practice. Her strength steadily grew, but unlike other cultivators, she always had Lin Xuan providing a tranquil haven for her.

Though she faced many dangers in the cultivation world, Lin Xuan bore them all, and their sudden separation left Yue'er feeling utterly lost.

Without Young Master, she didn't know what to do.

Surviving alone was too hard!

And the overwhelming longing only made it worse.

If not for Xiao Tao's presence, Yue'er wasn't sure if she could have endured those times.

Xiao Tao, the命宝 of the former Arhats, once renowned across the Three Realms.

Known as the玄阴宝盒, this was a treasure from an immortal dwelling. Its complexity differed greatly from ordinary cultivators'命宝.

Most astonishingly, it had reached the stage of spirit communication and could manifest into a girl named Xiao Tao. Even in the mortal world, she had once despised Lin Xuan, calling him foolish with slow cultivation progress...

But despite their disagreements, Xiao Tao fiercely protected Yue'er after her rebirth as an Arhat.

The early days in Netherworld were tough for Yue'er, but Xiao Tao's awakening gave her constant encouragement. With Xiao Tao by her side, Yue'er gradually learned to be strong again.

She decided not to cry anymore and would live on. Though separated from Young Master now, she believed they would meet again someday.

This was a test from heaven.

To remain with Young Master forever, she must endure this hardship.

Though Young Master wasn't beside her, he remained her source of strength.

The hardest part was the ceaseless longing.

Thus, many years passed. Yue'er's cultivation steadily progressed, but fate had other plans. During an outing, her identity was accidentally exposed.

From then on, word spread that she was the reincarnation of the Arhat King.

This stirred up a hornet's nest. The Arhat King wasn't just any powerful being; he was the ruler of Netherworld. Though times changed, his influence remained unparalleled.

Countless loyal spirits and ghosts still followed her, but many wanted to act on their own accord.

They no longer wished to follow the Arhat King's commands.

Of the five kings in Netherworld, Jin Yue Corpse King was the most brazen.

Since the Arhat King's fall or rebirth, the remaining five became rulers of Netherworld. Used to being in charge, they didn't want to listen to others' orders anymore. But Jin Yue Corpse King knew he couldn't defy the Arhat King.

The danger had to be eliminated before it grew.

The only opportunity was to eliminate Yue'er while she wasn't fully recovered from her past strength.

In the following days, Yue'er's situation became perilous.

Fortunately, the Arhat King was a genius and wouldn't have been unprepared for such a scenario.

Thankfully, they managed to escape danger.
