Chapter 995: Chapter 995: Mirrors and Illusory Flowers, Reflections and the Moon

Apart from the first level that merely tested a cultivator’s physique, any of the other eight levels of Ascending Heaven Tower could have easily claimed Su Chengyu’s life.

Su Chengyu’s risky venture into the Realm of Selflessness did indeed open up the only pathway for his survival.

In harmony with the lingering echo of the Realm of Selflessness, this journey of self-questioning was just right for mending Su Chengyu’s tattered mind state.

With every level he ascended in the Ascending Heaven Tower, his mind state would heal a bit.

It may not have been evident at the moment, but this would bring unexpected benefits for Su Chengyu in his future tribulations and on his cultivation journey.

The trial of the sixth floor was also an illusion, but compared to an illusion, the trial of the sixth floor was more like a dream.

An incredibly realistic dream.

In the dream, Su Chengyu had effortlessly broken through the Ascending Heaven Tower and also learned of his father’s whereabouts from a Kunwu Immortal.

Following this news, Su Chengyu successfully found Su Zhedian.

Father and son returned to the Capital City, making a remarkable impact. They not only vindicated Su Linyuan’s past matters but also gained the recognition of the Zhao Royal Family and Su Chengyu successfully married Zhao Ziyuan.

With the help of the Royal Family, Su Chengyu managed to take back Xu Nanzhi from the Luo Clan, then returned home in glory, settled down with his ladies by Lin Jiang, and established another Su household as illustrious as the Ancient Clan’s Su family.

On the cultivation road, Su Chengyu’s journey was smooth sailing; he became the youngest Land Immortal in history.

It was just a pity that nature’s spiritual energy was in decline.

Ever since Su Linyuan severed the path to Immortality, Su Chengyu had lost the possibility of ascending to the Immortal World.

Inside Villa No. 1 by Lin Jiang.

The no longer young Su Chengyu sat on the balcony, looking at the moon in silence, while a woman in a nightgown walked up behind him.

"Chengyu? Aren’t you sleeping yet?"

The newcomer was Lin An, who, with special permission from the Royal Family, was allowed to leave Kyoto to live with Su Chengyu in Lin Jiang.

Su Chengyu shook his head, "I’m not sleepy yet."

Lin An said nothing. After reaching the profound, her need for sleep had greatly diminished.

Lin An’s question was naturally not about why he wasn’t sleeping, and Su Chengyu’s answer was not about that, either.

"Is something on your mind?"

Su Chengyu turned his head and smiled, "What could possibly be on my mind? The Su Clan has also agreed to rewrite my grandfather’s name into the family register. My last wish has been fulfilled."

"Then, is it about ascending?"

Again, Su Chengyu shook his head, "To ascend to the Immortal World is indeed every cultivator’s dream, and I’m no exception, but now my heart is without attachment. So what if I cannot ascend?"

His vendetta was settled, and the women in his life were all by his side. If Su Chengyu really were to ascend, he would actually have a lot to consider.

"But, you’re still troubled by something."

Su Chengyu gave a bitter smile and took Lin An’s hand, "It’s nothing. I’m just looking back on my life, feeling as though... something is missing."

"Hmm? Do you still think you haven’t charmed enough women?"

Lin An spoke, pretending to be upset.

Su Chengyu smiled, shook his head, and once again looked up at the moon in silence.

Seeing that Su Chengyu was genuinely pondering something, Lin An did not continue to tease him but simply sat beside him, keeping him company.

After a long while, Su Chengyu spoke, "Lin An, do you know? Before returning to Lin Jiang, I used to inscribe a phrase every day."

"What phrase?"

"See through deceits, hold fast to the True Self."

"What does that mean?"

"I don’t remember. Before I returned to Lin Jiang, it seems like I was doing it every day. But one day I just stopped, and then I gradually completely forgot about it."

"Hmm?"

Lin An looked at Su Chengyu with a puzzled expression, seemingly not understanding his meaning.

"Lin An, do you think it’s possible that everything I have now is just a dream? Like the moon reflected in water, it appears whole, but in reality, it shatters at a single touch."

"I don’t understand."

Lin An shook her head.

Su Chengyu said with a smile, "It’s fine, just consider it as me thinking wildly. After all, it’s not important."

"Not important?" Lin An was even more confused by Su Chengyu’s words.

"My grandfather has been exonerated, and my father has brought my mother back from the Cloud Tribe. I’ve found Xiaoxiao and am living together with you all. Even if it’s a dream, it must be a dream that is fated to be everlasting."

Lin An blinked and stood up, then looked up at the moon in the sky, "Do you know why I liked you in the first place?"

"Because I saved you? Or because I’m different to you than other people?"

Lin An shook her head, "No, it’s because of who you are. You’re different from everyone. Even if you did save me, even if your attitude towards me is different from everyone else’s. Those aren’t the most important things; the most important is your eyes."

Suddenly, Lin An leaned in, holding Su Chengyu’s face, bringing it close to her own as she looked into those clear eyes.

"Irrelevant of realm, irrespective of strength, your gaze always reaches into the distance, to the place you are determined to go to yourself."

Having said that, Lin An suddenly let go, turned her head, and looked in the direction that Su Chengyu had been staring at previously.

"That’s where you are looking now, isn’t it? Is that the moon in the water?"

Su Chengyu remained silent, not speaking.

"Am I false too?"

Suddenly, Lin An turned her head and looked playfully at Su Chengyu with a smile.

Su Chengyu still did not speak.

As if seeing through what the man was thinking, Lin An walked up to Su Chengyu, "Go ahead, my man will never stop. Since it’s the direction you are determined on, stride forward confidently."

"Lin An..."

About to speak, Lin An suddenly placed her fingertip against Su Chengyu’s lips, "Before you leave, can you kiss me one last time?"

Under the moonlight, with the beautiful woman looking like a painting, this powerful man from Xia Country embraced his beloved one last time.

Long after, a golden light soared into the sky from Lin Jiang, attracting the attention of all the Xiaguo Monks.

"What’s happening?"

The people in Villa No. 1, such as Xu Nanzhi, who had sensed the commotion, also gathered inside. Lin An didn’t speak but smiled and looked towards the place where the golden light was disappearing into the distance, "Is he leaving?"

"Chengyu?"

Xu Nanzhi asked in confusion, "Where is he going?"

"Is the master ascending?" Guessed Yu Yanshu.

But Lin An shook her head, "No, he’s going to the place where he belongs."

Without further explanation, she had a premonition that after Su Chengyu left, they would all vanish into nothingness.

However, Lin An did not regret not stopping Su Chengyu upon realizing everything; she believed that, once back in that world, Su Chengyu would still love her the same way.

Above the sky, the full moon suddenly shattered.

The entire space-time was utterly twisted under the power of the Immortal, gradually turning into nothingness.

In the void, Su Chengyu quietly watched as the world he knew disappeared completely and finally spoke.

"Kunwu Immortal, you’re watching, aren’t you?"
