Chapter 375: The Female Sword Immortal own is Proud for Life
Fortunately.
Sevia quickly explained.
This was just an ordinary ring; it held no special meaning.
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere on the scene finally relaxed.
"Then, can you let me pass now?"
Within the Chaos.
The Long River of Time surged endlessly, giving rise to infinite planar worlds, but Sevia's gaze remained fixed only on the Earth Universe behind the Supremes.
She felt it.
The important person was inside.
By simply entering, the minute hand could catch up to the hour hand, completing a long-awaited meeting, a long-awaited overlap.
However, whether it was the Witch, the Mech-Servant, or the County Princess…
…none showed any sign of stepping aside.
"Is this a test?" Sevia frowned, standing upon the Long River of Time, her world-saving achievements transforming into an extension of truth, reshaping the order of Chaos.
The Qi of the Supremes clashed with one another.
The two sides were on the verge of an all-out conflict.
Space-time flickered in and out of existence; the boundless, vast Sea of Realms evaporated in an instant, only to surge and sweep back even faster.
"If you want to think of it that way, then so be it." Wu Yingxue's lips curled up as three thousand great worlds condensed into a spear, held in her right hand.
It was the condensation of the "One."
And the manifestation of the "All."
Swinging it, she stood alone through the ages.
Thrusting it, one gave rise to all heavens.
This time, the County Princess was determined to wash away her past humiliation; last time the Mech-Servant had slipped inside, and she didn't believe it would happen again.
Go for it, Wu Yingxue!
The girl struck out confidently, infinite principles of heaven and earth gathering at the spear's tip. She was about to strike with thunderous force to seize victory in this interception battle.
However.
Accidents always come suddenly.
Just when everyone thought a great war was inevitable, a startling change occurred in the Earth Universe behind them.
"How can this be, my projection?!"
Her movements stopped abruptly.
Wu Yingxue was filled with shock and suspicion.
Just now, her consciousness projection left on Earth, along with those of the Witch and the Mech-Servant, had been wiped out and severed by an overbearing power.
The perpetrator made no attempt to hide their identity.
"Xu Moli?!"
The three Supremes looked back; at some point, the Female Sword Immortal own's true body had vanished.
She…
…ahead of everyone else.
…at the most unexpected moment.
…had entered Earth with her true body.
——————
"Mo Li?"
"Yes, Brother, I'm back."
"Mo Li, did you see Klisa and the others?"
"Hmm… I didn't see them. They might be busy with something."
Earth, Yanshan City.
Sunlight passed through the brick and tile fences, hitting the upturned corners of the eaves at an angle, filtered by dense foliage into tiny, scattered, and dense spots of light.
A few ladybugs crawled across blades of grass and branches before flying away together from the flowerbeds in the Courtyard.
Unexpectedly.
Xu Xi, who was resting in the Courtyard.
Suddenly saw his sister's return.
She stood in the golden sunlight, smiling happily and brightly, announcing her return to Xu Xi.
"Brother~~~"
Xu Moli giggled.
She trotted up behind Xu Xi, crossing her arms around his neck and leaning directly against his back, just like when they were children.
"What is it, Mo Li? Why so happy?"
"Because from today on, I can stay by Brother's side forever, so I'm happy."
Xu Xi laughed. "Haven't you always been able to?"
The girl shook her head. "The past was the past, and now is now."
For a Supreme…
…a projected body also possesses a sense of reality.
But no matter how real, a projection is ultimately just a projection, unable to satisfy that yearning heart.
Finally.
At this very moment.
The parched fields of her heart were moistened by sweet water, becoming vivid and full of joy.
"Brother," her jade-like arms crossed in front of Xu Xi, her delicate voice carrying a hint of nervousness and secret joy.
"Today's Mo Li is not a projection."
Not a projection?
Then what else could it be?
Xu Xi was somewhat puzzled and was about to ask when he thought of a possibility—one that should have been realized much later.
"Mo Li, is this your true body?"
"Mm-hmm."
The girl hummed softly, leaning willfully against Xu Xi. "Brother only just realized? Too late, too late~~"
In a proud tone, Xu Moli explained to Xu Xi why she was able to enter Earth faster than the others.
The greatest credit for this…
…went to Earth's perfect Fusion with the fragments of the Immortal Realm.
…as well as a large number of other cultivation side worlds.
The Laws of the Immortal Dao were perfected before other Laws, allowing Earth itself to bear more of Xu Moli's Status.
"Brother, I'm very smart, aren't I?"
The summer sun poured down.
Light shattered upon the ground.
Those ripple-like fragments faintly illuminated Xu Moli's face and every word she lightly brushed over.
Her pure eyes reflected the summer time, devoid of any fatigue or hardship, showing only the face of her brother before her.
She didn't mention how much time she had spent.
She simply asked for credit from Xu Xi in a lighthearted tone.
Because that wasn't important.
What was important was that she was the first to be by her brother's side, enjoying that beauty all to herself.
That was enough; that was more than enough.
Xu Xi gave the response the young girl wanted.
He was surprised, but his smile remained as gentle as ever. "Yes, Mo Li is very smart. Honestly, you really startled me today."
If Xu Moli hadn't revealed the truth herself…
…Xu Xi would never have imagined his sister appearing before him in her true form, with her Status as a Supreme.
That Earth and the Universe weren't crushed…
…was truly astonishing.
So, this is Mo Li's true body… In the hot summer light, Xu Xi turned and saw a flawless beauty—a blooming flower with a uniqueness meant for only one person.
For some reason.
Despite the vast stretch of time between them…
…the image of his sister's formerly sickly self appeared before Xu Xi's eyes. The brokenness of then and the flawlessness of now overlapped, coalescing into a more real form.
Brilliantly real.
Delicately real.
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing, just suddenly thinking that my Mo Li seems to have grown up."
Xu Xi smiled, reaching out his free hand to gently place it on his sister's head, rubbing it slightly.
Withered flowers will eventually welcome new life.
Withered yellow leaves will also sprout anew when spring comes.
A ruined ending had been beautifully mended.
"Brother, I'm not a child," the girl retorted.
"Mo Li, since you can enter in your true body, does that mean you won't need to go to the Zhanjie anymore?"
"Yes, Brother."
"Then is there anything you want to do?"
"I suppose so…"
Xu Moli reached out to catch the golden summer sunlight. It was warm, but not as warm as the broad palm atop her head.
The Zhanjie was no longer needed.
She was the fastest, the first.
So, did this mean that as the winner, she could collect some rewards from her brother?
