"Huff~"

After a long while, Hong Yuan squinted and smiled.

Even if the Young Emperor is resurrected, the two women can keep their lives under the Tribulation Cloud.

As for the future?

Hong Yuan couldn't help too much.

Though he treats the two women a degree better than the Black Dragon Demon Saint.

But he won't have the unrealistic notion of holding the two women to achieve immortality together—it's unrealistic!

No regrets between each other, that is enough.

This is his current way of handling things.

...

Seven days later.

Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent.

Chengfeng Peak of Phoenix Creek Sect, the place where disciples undergo the Saint Achievement Immortal Transcending Tribulation.

On this day, Chengfeng Peak welcomed two female elders with peerless beauty.

In secret, it also welcomed several Supreme Elders Martial Saints of Phoenix Creek Sect.

"Lord."

"Brother!"

"..."

Facing the enthusiastic greetings from the saints of Phoenix Creek, Hong Yuan nodded slightly, allowing them to spread to his sides, positioning him at the center like stars surrounding the moon.

Currently, he is the next Great Saint of Phoenix Creek Sect, and his strength is the greatest in Phoenix Creek Sect.

The supreme treatment he enjoys is all deserved!

ZiJi Fairy, Xuanhun War General, and Jin Cun Battle General, the three Martial Saints who were once against Hong Yuan of Phoenix Creek, were completely isolated, removed from the power center of Phoenix Creek Sect.

They were even subtly surrounded by other Martial Saints, seen as potential enemies, forbidden to cause trouble today.

Although everyone is a Saint of Phoenix Creek Sect, they are seen as enemies?!

ZiJi Fairy, one of the few Wisdom Tao Saints, saw this scene, her mouth bitterly smiling, she couldn't help but sigh lightly, "Alas~"

Her sigh immediately drew the scrutinizing—and somewhat predatory—gazes of many saints.

This instantly stiffened her body and secretly cursed: "Damn, these bastards want to use me as a stepping stone to curry favor with Hong Yuan!"

And the Xuanhun War General and Jin Cun Battle General who had followed her lead in the past, now acted as if they had seen nothing, each glancing aside.

This situation further made ZiJi Fairy tremble, regretting deeply.

Because she suddenly realized Hong Yuan's influence in Phoenix Creek Sect was boundless!

Fortunately, the Tribulation Cloud gradually gathered below, allowing her to subtly breathe a sigh of relief.

Down below.

Lin Mo, the two women, argued a bit, both wanting to explore the path first so the other could be psychologically prepared.

But ultimately, Lin Yiru, relying on her elder status, took the lead to initiate the Saint Achievement Immortal Transcending Tribulation.

Actually, their argument was unnecessary, but Hong Yuan did not overly intervene, nor did he forcibly designate who should undergo the tribulation first.

Though Hong Yuan is rather cold-hearted, he also hopes Lin Mo, the two women, could have more warmth between them.

"Yue'er, don't rush, trust Aunt Yiru."

Hong Yuan stepped forward, saying with a brilliant smile.

He patted Mo Yue'er's head, making Mo Yue'er's emotions gradually improve.

"Mm!" Mo Yue'er responded softly, her words full of trust in Hong Yuan.

Just like, more than a hundred years ago when they fled together in Nanyang Pengcheng.

The saints of Phoenix Creek high in the sky saw Hong Yuan show a tender side to Mo Yue'er, each pondering.

They couldn't help considering what gifts would be appropriate if Mo Yue'er and Lin Yiru both become saints.

Among them, ZiJi Fairy gathered her strength, exerting herself to deduce, unhesitant to use the rare Green Grapes Immortal Nuance.

She thought: "This is a great opportunity; I must perform well and seize the chance to repair relations with Hong Yuan. Otherwise, if there's real trouble, I might really be cast out as an abandoned pawn from Phoenix Creek Sect!"

One day and night later.

Lin Yiru became a saint safely, a Wood Tao Saint, and opened up a superior blessed land.

Two days and nights later.

Mo Yue'er also became a saint safely, also a Wood Tao Saint, and opened up a superior blessed land.

Meanwhile, the immortal plants within them rapidly flourished.

Because they both practiced the Art of Longevity, now they possess over two thousand years of lifespan.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, they are likely to reach the Great Saint Realm, adding more than three thousand years of lifespan.

Though such a lifespan is indeed long compared to other Martial Saints.

Yet whether it's over two thousand years or five thousand years of lifespan, to Hong Yuan, it makes no difference, still just passing clouds!

Gazing at the joyful expressions of the two women, feeling their excitement, Hong Yuan's face also smiled.

"Achieved sainthood, achieving sainthood is good, achieving sainthood is good."

His tone is quite complex, joyful, melancholic, and somewhat calm.

But he did not do much else.

He simply quietly accompanied Lin Yi and Mo Yue'er, trying to fulfill their wishes and avoid regrets.

After ascension completed.

Under the attentive gaze of the saints of Phoenix Creek, Hong Yuan, with Mo Yue'er and Lin Yi, went to pay respects to the late master Lin Daoyan, brother Zhu Wushang, and brother Mo Jiuyou, informing them in heaven.

At night.

Moonlight like water, soothing the heart.

Hong Yuan arrived at the White Frost Stone House, now a Sect forbidden land, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

He gazed at the White Frost Stone House, seemingly seeing the brothers celebrating New Year here a hundred years ago, seeing his youthful self.

Returning to an old place, he had much to say in his heart.

But ultimately, he merely sighed lightly, slowly stepping inside.

Then, shadows appeared before his eyes.

In the end, he cupped his hands and said:

"Master, brothers, I have successfully cultivated Yiru and Yue'er into saints!"

"I have not failed your last wishes; they have now become the pillars of Phoenix Creek Sect."

"Rest assured, I will do my utmost to let them live peacefully."

Soon after, Hong Yuan turned and walked away.

His lone figure disappeared into the boundless darkness, no longer visible.

The road to immortality seems to be a solitary journey on the Great Taoism...
