Kong Hou looked up from Huan Zhong and found the illusion had disappeared . Sect Master Jin Yue and Qiu Shuang Grand Shishu were standing nearby . She pushed Huan Zhong away and adjusted her clothing . She ran to Qiu Shuang and pouted, “Grand Shishu . ”

Qiu Shuang saw her gaze was clear, but her cultivation had grown much more concentrated . She pretended nothing had happened and said, “The star disk has not unlocked—do not act alone . ”

As she finished speaking, the last barrier in front of them fell . Spirit Master Yuan Chen was still sitting in the north position, his face pale and his breathing shallow . Hong Yan stood at the center of the formation, blood at the corners of her mouth and facing Jiu Su .

Seeing Kong Hou and the others exit, Jiu Su did not hesitate in trying to kill Hong Yan . Hong Yan was at the end of her spirit energy after using it all to activate the star disk . She was fundamentally unable to dodge .

Kong Hou did not even think before she summoned the Water Frost sword to stand in front of Hong Yan . She was not as strong as Jiu Su . While she blocked a part of the attack, Hong Yan was still pushed back by the powerful flow of energy . She landed next to Grandmaster Yuan Chen .

Kong Hou didn’t know what Hong Yan had done to Jiu Su . Jiu Su did not extract revenge on Kong Hou for attacking him . He turned and moved to leave . As though he expected such an action, Huan Zhong cast a spell . The Dragon Roar sword headed straight for Jiu Su’s spirit platform .

Jiu Su barely managed to avoid this attack to his weakness . Dragon Roar penetrated his abdomen, erupting with sword energy . Jiu Su’s surrounding skin split apart and he was wounded all over . As a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator, he was unable to avoid a Mind Dividing Stage cultivator’s attack . No one knew how seriously he was wounded .

“Do you see?” Hong Yan vomited great mouthfuls of blood on the ground . She started to laugh madly and joyously again . She turned to look at Kong Hou . “A man’s love is always filled with sweetness and grandness, but once it concerns them, under the grandness is the dirt of selfishness . ”

Kong Hou’s lips moved . Huan Zhong took two steps forward and shielded her .

Jiu Su hit his own abdomen with his palm . The Dragon Roar sword vibrated but was forced out of Jiu Su’s body . Zhong Xi took the Dragon Roar sword back . Dragon Roar continued to tremble in his hand . It only quieted after he channeled spirit energy in .

Jin Yue and Qiu Shuang threw out their talismans to block Jiu Su from escaping . Jiu Su smirked, ignoring the bleeding of his body . “You think you can stop me with your abilities . ”

His words were so proud that Jin Yue and Qiu Shuang became more wary . Jiu Su suddenly grabbed Hong Yan who was on the ground, hit her, and threw her towards Jin Yue and Qiu Shuang like she was a weapon .

Qiu Shuang flew to catch Hong Yan . Jiu Su turned into flowing light and disappeared into the night .

“Chirp?” The small-eyed fox on the ground took a step back . She turned to see Jiu Su disappear and prepared to flee .

A golden light wrapped around her waist . She struggled a bit on the ground and then pretended to be dead on the ground . Kong Hou threw the fox into the cage and walked quickly to Hong Yan .

Hong Yan’s face was waxy yellow, as though all vitality had left her . Only her slightly moving chest confirmed she was alive .

Qiu Shuang channeled spirit energy into her body, but she pushed it away . “No need…”

Qiu Shuang’s hand stilled . She knew that Hong Yan was at the end of her life . She wiped away the blood from Hong Yan’s face . “Why do you do this?” The love and hate of the past was just gossip for outsiders, but for those involved, those were memories of a lifetime .

Spirit Master Hong Yan smiled . She put a hand to Qiu Shuang’s chest . Moments later, Qiu Shuang’s expression changed . Kong Hou, who was supporting Spirit Master Hong Yan’s head, felt that Hong Yan seemed to say something to Qiu Shuang . But because the other used a mental message art, she could not hear it .

“In my life, I was stupid two times . The first time, I thought I could break free of fate, but I encountered a bad person, and he harmed members of my sect . The second time, I thought that someone could accompany me in my fate . But the Buddha was most important in his heart, and not me . ” Hong Yan smiled . She was no longer mad . She was like the uncatchable spring wind that would disappear at any moment .

Yuan Chen opened his eyes . He climbed off the ground and stumbled in front of Hong Yan . His eyes trembled . He was silent for a long time before he said amitabha .

Hong Yan leaned against Kong Hou’s chest as she looked calmly at the monk . In that year, when she met this little monk, he was still a young novice . He had a shiny bald head and lively eyes . When he peeked at her, his face was flushed red like a peach .

She discussed the buddha and life with him in the lonely Star Domain Palace . This little monk said to her that he would go back to his sect to take off his kasaya and keep her company .

She waited and waited, waited until the stars changed paths, waited until the news that the little monk had been taken as the disciple of Quiet Peace Temple’s abbot . She knew then that the little monk would not return .

She held the letter the little monk had sent her . The letter did not have any characters of the buddha but each word spoke of the buddha . She was just a love ordeal in his buddhist experience . After his love ordeal passed, he naturally had to return to the benevolence of the buddha .

“Grandmaster Yuan Chen . ” She softly called his title . Her gaze started to grow unfocused . “Little Monk, I’m going to die soon . Your heart is finally free . ”

Kong Hou looked up at Yuan Chen . She wanted to see sorrow or regret in his eyes but there was nothing in his eyes . He was so calm, so benevolent . Hong Yan was not any different from other cultivators in his eyes . He was a Buddha, and she was a female cultivator soon to be dead he had to ferry across .

She felt suffocated but didn’t know what to say . She had no standpoint to speak of .

“I had you use a century of cultivation to open the star formation for me . We no longer owe each other . ” Hong Yan opened her eyes again . Her eyes were startlingly bright, like stars in the sky . But Kong Hou felt her breathing was weakening .

“If I had listened to my master and never left the mountain, it would have been good . ” Hong Yan smiled gently . “I finally finished the mission left by my sect; I can face them now . ”

Yuan Chen slowly closed his eyes . He put his palms together . He did not speak or look at Hong Yan . No one knew if he was really unaffected or he didn’t dare to look at her .

The moment he closed his eyes, Hong Yan suddenly slapped Yuan Chen’s chest . Kong Hou, close to her, felt a wave of spirit energy flow from Hong Yan into Yuan Chen’s body . Hong Yan withered visibly . She pulled her hand back and said coolly, “I don’t want to owe other people, especially those that turned on me . Yuan Chen, I wish you will reach paradise soon and see the true buddha . ”

She grabbed Kong Hou’s wrist . “Remember, do not easily trust men . One’s heart is precious—do not easily give it away . ”

After saying this, Hong Yan’s hand relaxed as though she finished all matters in her life and closed her eyes .

“She has passed . ” In the silence, Qiu Shuang spoke, “Notify the people of Moon Star Sect . ” If Hong Yan hadn’t just given her last remaining cultivation to Yuan Chen, she might have been able to last a while longer, at least until she could see her disciples, at least she would pass with her young appearance .

Kong Hou looked at the old woman in her arms . She took out a grand brocade from her storage ring and covered Hong Yan . She turned to look at Yuan Chen whose eyes were shut, and then at Huan Zhong by her side . She suddenly had countless thoughts . The surrounding spirit energy flowed towards her .

“Kong Hou is about to advance . ” Qiu Shuang had detected previously that Kong Hou’s spirit energy was concentrated . Now she detected the movements in the surrounding spirit energy . She bent down to carry Hong Yan’s corpse . “Everyone, move away . ”

When cultivators were advancing, disturbances from other people was a taboo .

Jin Yue pulled his apprentice away and threw him to the courtyard gates . “If you are worried, stand as protection . ”

Zhong Xi sat down cross-legged without even thinking . Jin Yue sighed . So much had happened today . When tomorrow morning came, no one would be at peace . Yesterday, Kong Hou had Mind Activation stage cultivation . Why was she suddenly advancing? What had Hong Yan done in the illusion?

“Hong Yan opened the star mansion door . ” Qiu Shuang bent down to neaten Hong Yan’s hair, as though she had passed away elegantly of old age in a peaceful sleep .

Jin Yue shook upon hearing this . As the sect master of Radiance Sect, he naturally knew what the star mansion door was . That was a small world that the past cultivators of Moon Star Sect built . It was not easily opened . In times of danger, disciples with special fates could be sent into the star mansion door to increase their cultivation and mental state . But the price of opening the door each time was great . Each generation of sect masters were the guardians of the door, and also sacrifices to open the door . Fortunately, this door hadn’t been opened in the last millennium .

He turned to look at Huan Zhong . Hong Yan said that Zhong Xi was the fated one to rescue the cultivation world . But the one she sent into the star mansion door was Kong Hou . Was it…

The ordeal clouds rolled in the sky . This did not seem like the movement of levelling up into Core Formation Stage, but more like a jump to Mind Manifestation .

The people of Moon Star Sect never told others what was behind the star mansion door . No records existed . When Miss Kong Hou walked out of the illusion, he had not detected anything strange . He hadn’t expected her to have such an opportunity .

After understanding this, Jin Yue did not feel any discontent or envy, but a sense of relief . Bearing the fate of the entire cultivation world was too heavy and difficult for a cultivator . He was happy that his apprentice did not have to carry such a burden .

The successive generations of Moon Star Sect masters lived in isolation and did not dare to grow close to other people . Wasn’t that because they were afraid of their judgement being affected by their emotions?

“Master…” A disciple of Moon Star Sect hurriedly arrived . Her gaze moved across the people and then on the ground .

The leading female cultivator had an expression of sorrow that quickly turned back to normal . She walked in front of Hong Yan’s remains, and kow-towed nine times . The disciples behind her were also like her, grieving deeply, but not shedding even one tear .

Qiu Shuang looked at these pale disciples and put the star disk in the hand of the leading disciple .

The female disciple glanced at the star disk and her expression changed slightly . The star door had been activated . Master had opened the star mansion door? She looked at Spirit Master Qiu Shuang and bowed to Qiu Shuang, suppressing the pain and sorrow she felt . “Thank you, Spirit Master . ”

She did not ask Qiu Shuang why Master suddenly opened the star door . She didn’t even ask why her master died .

The members of Moon Star Sect could devine the fates of others, but not themselves . When joining the sect, they had to understand a truth . Life and death were determined by the heavens, and there was no good in demanding more .

“Everyone, I am sorry for your loss . ” Facing these disciples, Qiu Shuang did not know what words of comfort to say . “If you need anything, please speak . ”

“Yesterday morning, Master said to me if we had any difficulties, we would not be refused if we ask for help from Splendid Cloud Sect’s elder . ” The leading disciple bent down to pick up Hong Yan . “Maybe Master had divined today . While we do not bear to have Master leave, we have to respect her choice . ”

She looked up at the gathering ordeal clouds in the sky . She bowed to Qiu Shuang . “Please forgive us juniors for leaving first . ”

They came quickly and left quickly . From start to end, none of them glanced at Yuan Chen . Maybe they did not know the past between Hong Yan and Yuan Chen, or they did know .

But she was dead, and the past was no longer important .

Yuan Chen took a step in the direction that the disciples of Moon Star Sect left in and was tripped by something on the ground .

It was a dusty kasaya .
