The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 248 God’s Domain 7

In the seventh year of the Shunsheng reign, the emperor and empress were attacked while on an outing, and the empress was forced to live among the common people for several months.

When she was rescued, she was only holding a lifeless stillborn fetus in her arms.

And she, too, lost her life outside.

The emperor ultimately betrayed her, whether it was for his throne before or for his court now.

The guards outside the gate, his elder brother's sickbed, even the last time he saw him at Yushan Temple—he knew he had no chance.

This year's winter solstice was really cold; Zhang Yanyu's lips were trembling from the cold, and her whole body was shaking.

"Which quack doctor made this diagnosis? I'll go and kill him!"

Liu Zhi just looked at him without saying a word.

Zhang Yanyu suddenly reached out to grab her, but stopped abruptly just before touching her, saying in a trembling voice:

"I...I will find a physician for you, even if I have to search for the most famous doctors in the world, I will cure your illness!!!"

Liu Zhi chuckled: "It's no use. The disease has reached its terminal stage. No matter how many famous doctors there are, they can't cure it."

Zhang Yanyu looked at her in silence for a long time, until snow had covered her head, before he finally asked, "Brother... do you know?"

"I've only told you about my illness, since you came out with me today."

Another silence fell. He was still looking at her, but Liu Zhi started walking back towards Yuqing Palace.

"Let's go back, we've indeed been out for too long."

Yes, a person's life is only sixty or seventy years, especially for these noble families. They seem to live much more glamorous lives than others, but they all die young.

Having wandered for half my life, it's time to go back.

Upon hearing that her days were numbered, Liu Zhi felt no regret or resentment whatsoever.

There are so many things in this world, and from the moment she was born, she had no choice but to accept them. Everyone and everything was pushing her toward this point.

She was unhappy her whole life.

Perhaps, her birth was a mistake from the start.

When the abbot first told her the origin of her story, Liu Zhi also thought about taking revenge on the person who abandoned her, so that their family would never have peace again.

But gradually she stopped thinking about it. Life at Yushan Temple was good, but Liuzhi still didn't want to be an orphan. She wanted a family, she wanted it so much.

When she learned that someone was coming to pick her up and take her home, she was first nervous and then secretly delighted; she was finally going to have a family.

However, her family did treat her well, but they never cared about her, just like they did during the fifteen years she was abandoned.

Liu Zhi knew that her birth had killed her biological mother, which was why her father never wanted to see her, the culprit.

All her hopes turned into endless self-blame.

So she obeyed all her family's arrangements and gradually became a qualified young lady from a wealthy family, a qualified wife, a qualified role model for women in noble families, and even a qualified mother of the nation.

She could not grieve, could not complain, and even when her own child died, she could not blame the culprit who indirectly caused everything in the slightest.

She was so tired. She longed to go back to her life at Yushan Temple. If she could do it all over again, she would rather secretly leave than follow that man back to Yujing.

A bustling place, a den of cannibals—it's all gone now.

As spring arrived once again, Liu Zhi's health deteriorated, and her illness could no longer be concealed.

Repeated injuries triggered a pre-existing condition that had been present since birth, which was beyond saving and incurable.

Gradually, Liu Zhi's illness made it very difficult for her to even get out of bed, and she became emaciated, vomiting three mouthfuls after eating one bite, but she faced all of this with remarkable calmness.

On this day, the vast Ningkun Palace was still filled with people, but that figure in bright yellow was nowhere to be seen.

At least, all the sisters she had taken care of were still there, which made Liu Zhi very gratified.

With difficulty, she scanned each of the faces—some bearing the marks of time, others in the prime of their youth—and found them all gazing at her with sorrow, looking at her…

But no one looked at her with the same smile, a mixture of helplessness and indulgence, as that person had before. She loved that look, but she would never see it again.

Outside the palace, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the scene was one of vibrant beauty.

A refreshing floral fragrance wafted in waves, reminding me of the vibrant peach blossoms that once bloomed in spring by the corner of the outer wall of the Zen room.

Peonies are elegant and fit for empresses, peach blossoms are delicate, but I've loved willow branches for many years. Now that I can smell their fragrance again, I have no regrets.

The emperor only ever loved Consort Song, so where did the empress's heart lie?

"It's a pity... I still couldn't eat another bite of... his cooking..."

In the last moments of consciousness, in a hazy state, I saw the crowd kneeling sadly around the bed, and a figure rushing in from outside the hall.

……

"So, have you realized it?"

……

Having traversed the six realms, did she gain enlightenment?

The Reincarnation Platform reforged her divine body. Xingye opened her eyes and gazed at the countless stars in the divine realm, feeling as if she had been transported to another world. It wasn't until the God of Hell called her twice from the side that she came back to her senses.

"Lord Divine Master, how was your journey through the Six Paths? Was it satisfactory?"

"Does the Yan Yu Si have any records of other Star Divisions besides myself who have entered the Six Paths of Gods?"

The God of Hell was puzzled: "Why would the God ask such a question?"

Xingye added, "Just answer whether it is or isn't."

Yama flipped through the Six Paths Record Book and quickly arrived at his answer:

"Yes, after the Divine Masters entered the Six Paths, several other Star Masters also entered the Six Paths. Uh... the Dawn Master, the River Master, and the Heavenly Plant Master all borrowed the Six Paths to descend to the mortal realm, but it was all official business. Other than that, other divine beings went to the Six Paths to descend to the mortal realm to temper their Daoist methods and comprehend their minds."

The starry night was silent. Was it just a coincidence?

"I'm sorry to bother Yan Yusi."

Yan Shen hurriedly said, "No trouble at all. If you, Lord Divine Master, still wish to travel to the Six Paths of the mortal realm, you can come to me anytime."

Xingye stopped arguing with him and appeared in front of Qingmingsi's divine universe in a flash.

Yan Zhi has been in charge of this star bureau since the establishment of the Qingming Bureau, which is also the place specifically for cultivating the Floating Tree.

The floating tree, which has no flowers or fruits, is evergreen and is also a companion plant of Brahma.

This tree can repair damaged divine essence, nourish the primordial spirit, and regenerate divine people.

Simply put, as long as a god's physical body in the divine realm is destroyed, as long as a trace of their primordial spirit is placed in this tree for nourishment, the god's body can be rebuilt and regenerated. However, the regeneration time depends on the extent of the damage to the primordial spirit.

Regeneration is 100% possible; it just depends on whether you can wait. If there is external force to stimulate regeneration, the time will be greatly shortened, ranging from tens of thousands of years to an endless wait.

Gods have very long lifespans, and the number of newly born gods is uncertain. However, it seems that the primordial chaos is controlling the process. Once a certain number of gods have been created, no new gods will be born for tens or hundreds of thousands of years.

Of course, this is only a god born from the essence of heaven and earth. There are no restrictions on the gods born from the union of two gods, but their divine power will become weaker and weaker.

And those so-called mortals who become gods are far weaker than innate gods, or even gods born from a union of beings.

It's just giving another title to immortals whose strength exceeds the immortal rank; even the divine power they cultivate barely touches the threshold below the god level.

After Brahma fled, the number of Floating Trees decreased drastically. Yan Zhi took over the cultivation because he was the most senior person in the current God Realm who had been by Brahma's side for the longest time.

Even in his favorite places, he was nowhere to be seen. Xingye went to his residence in the Water Mirror again, but still couldn't find him.

Xingye's complexion was getting worse and worse.

The fact that they didn't pass through the six realms of existence means they still have memories.

"Heh, Yanzhi, are you really him?"

If not, then that's for the best; if it is...

Xingye looked up at the vast divine universe of Qingmingsi, then turned and left.

However, after asking around, not only was Yan Zhi not in the domain, but even Zhou Yang was nowhere to be found.

Aside from their duties, the gods in the realm are always capricious. No one cares about another person's whereabouts or where they have met. Apart from where and when they met, no one knows their whereabouts.

However, both of them went abroad at almost the same time, without any clear official duties. What exactly were they planning?
