Chapter 1421 Spreading Rumors and Slander
"Neither the Quasi-Immortal Emperor nor the Immortal Emperor can stop you. You will surely stand at the pinnacle of all heavens."
The last person whose fate was predicted by Yunhua was the Footprint Emperor.
Yunhua talked to everyone about many things, as this was the last time they would spend together.
In the end, Yunhua decided to set off—no, I mean, to leave. Setting off? That's not auspicious at all.
As everyone saw Yunhua off, the kings of the Immortal Realm were also alarmed. After learning Yunhua's intentions, the kings remained silent for a long time.
Yunhua took the embankment route this time, instead of going directly into the border sea.
Yunhua stood still in front of the dam and looked back at the crowd.
"Cultivate diligently, protect everyone, and protect everything that should be protected."
"Take good care of yourself too." Yunhua smiled brightly, without any sadness or worry.
To everyone else, it seemed that she had already resigned herself to death and no longer cared.
After saying that, Yunhua walked towards the embankment. On the embankment, there was a faint line of footprints.
These footprints are an ancient mystery; no one knows their origin. Even immortal kings in the celestial realm would not leave footprints when they walked across the dam.
People have made many guesses about this set of footprints, but today we can find the answer.
As Yunhua walked across the embankment, a faint line of footprints appeared, standing alongside the ancient line of footprints.
Just as Yunhua was about to disappear, Shi Hao suddenly shouted, "Brother Yun!"
Yunhua stopped walking, raised her hand, but did not answer.
Shi Hao then shouted, "You must live!"
"You haven't told Liu Shen about your crush on her yet!"
A bolt from the blue! Shi Hao's words were truly like a bolt from the blue, a thunderclap rising from the ground.
It stunned everyone who was there to bid farewell to Yunhua.
Even those on the other side of the boundary sea, who were struggling to climb up the dike, all craned their necks to enter the immortal realm.
Unrequited love? How exciting!
At the end of the dam, Yunhua froze, as if struck by lightning, completely lost in thought.
You, you, you little brat, what are you saying?
Liu Shen and the others silently looked at Shi Hao, each with a strange expression.
Shi Hao shrank back, sensing a murderous aura emanating from him.
Even if it costs him his life, he will still speak out.
"Brother Yun, you must come back and tell Goddess Liu in person! Goddess Liu is waiting for you to say it!" Shi Hao continued to shout.
"You must not let Liu down... mmm." Shi Hao's mouth was suddenly covered.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yunhua, enraged, returned and covered Shi Hao's mouth.
Yunhua remembered that Shi Hao had used this matter to threaten her before.
I never imagined that I would say it in public like this.
It's absolutely outrageous; how could someone say something like that out loud?
Pshaw, no, this is something that absolutely cannot exist. It's completely fictitious and made up!
He had no crush on Liu Shen. Rumors require accusations, but this matter is completely baseless.
You just spout nonsense, huh?
While suppressing Shi Hao, Yun Hua glanced at Liu Shen, a somewhat awkward smile on his face.
"Goddess Liu, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, this brat is just talking nonsense."
Liu Shen didn't say anything, and her figure became increasingly blurry, making her indistinct.
Everyone's eyes kept shifting between Yunhua and Liu Shen.
People like Huo Ling'er showed excitement in their eyes. Something juicy goings?
Even the sorrowful atmosphere of separation and Yunhua's impending death was overshadowed by the explosive news released by Shi Hao.
"Ugh, ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh." Shi Hao made random ugh ...
Since Yunhua suppressed Shi Hao, it was naturally a comprehensive suppression, and his primordial spirit was definitely unable to make a sound.
"I'm warning you not to talk nonsense!" Yunhua threatened Shi Hao, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll suppress you and put you on the dam."
"You'll only be freed when the dam collapses and the border sea dries up."
That was the male version of Bai Suzhen from another world.
"Ugh." Shi Hao continued to utter bird language, and only then did Yun Hua release his suppression of Shi Hao.
"I'm suffocating from your presence," Shi Hao exhaled.
Yun Hua stared intently at Shi Hao, making Shi Hao's scalp tingle.
"He's hundreds of thousands of years old. It's better to be more cautious in your words and actions. Spreading rumors is even more unacceptable; you'll be struck by lightning," Yunhua said earnestly.
"I didn't spread any rumors," Shi Hao retorted. "Your secret crush on Liu Shen..."
"Shut up!" Yunhua snapped at Shi Hao. Damn it, why is he talking again?
“…” Shi Hao hesitated for a moment, then continued:
"We've talked about that in private before."
"I didn't spread any rumors."
Yunhua laughed angrily, "You bastard, that's because you once threatened to tell on me about this."
"Yes," Shi Hao nodded, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"It was indeed me who threatened you, saying I would tell on you."
“But if this is false, why would I threaten you, and why are you afraid that I will tell on you?”
"..." And now they're starting to distort the truth and change the subject?
Whether it's true or not, you can't just say things like that! Are you crazy?!
“Emperor Yun, there’s no need to be so reserved about matters of the heart,” Pan Wang said from the side.
"We cultivators pursue the Great Dao, but the Great Dao is inevitably lonely, and it is a blessing to have a Dao companion."
"..." What are you talking about, you old peach tree? How did it escalate to the level of Daoist partners?
"Yes, Emperor Yun, we are not heartless people. Our hearts are passionate, and we should take action. Let us not let time slip by and our feelings be missed."
"Know that the most precious thing in the world is sincerity."
"Absolutely, absolutely. What we call missing out is not a mistake, but rather that it has already happened."
"The Cloud Emperor's achievements are comparable to the creation of the universe, and his divine might surpasses that of the past and present. He has no rival for countless generations, but sometimes we must cherish the people in front of us."
The kings rambled on and on, each offering their own words, expressing the vicissitudes of life and countless emotions, as if they were all recalling that figure running under the setting sun.
Or perhaps someone on the shores of the border sea. Yunhua was bewildered. What was going on?
It shouldn't be that I left my hometown in a heroic manner, and the kings solemnly saw me off, their hearts filled with boundless respect. Gazing at my noble figure, their admiration for me was like a surging river, endless and unending.
After I left, they spread my name and were inspired by me. They all worked hard to cultivate as if they had been injected with phoenix blood, just so that one day they could avenge me.
How did this turn into an emotional guidance conference? The atmosphere has been completely ruined.
How did something that was originally a completely fabricated unrequited love affair escalate to what it is now?! Emperor Yun was bewildered.
"And what right do you little Celestial Kings have to point fingers at me?!" Emperor Yun roared in fury.
Finally, Yunhua looked at Shi Hao; this was the culprit. The rumors had originated from him.
Chapter 1422 On the Road
Shi Hao had already shrunk behind Liu Shen, avoiding Yun Hua's gaze.
He was also afraid, afraid of being beaten by Yunhua...
"Sigh." Yunhua sighed, "I'll forgive your rumor this time."
"I really have to leave."
Shi Hao poked his head out and stared at Yun Hua, "You're leaving even like this?"
Yunhua glared at him. "Are you going to stay or just wait to be driven crazy by me?"
Once a decision is made, it cannot be changed.
Yunhua looked at Liu Shen, who had regained his composure and calmness. It was nothing to begin with; he had only been caught off guard for a moment at the very beginning.
"Take care." Liu Shen nodded, seemingly unaffected by Shi Hao and the others' words.
Be careful in all matters.
Yunhua turned around again, and when she reappeared, she was already at the spot she had just been standing in.
"Brother Yun!" Shi Hao called out again.
"..."Are you out of your mind?
"I will take good care of Liu Shen... and everyone else!" Shi Hao shouted, his voice strong.
Yunhua didn't turn around or say anything, and gradually walked into the misty sea of boundaries.
"Brother Yun!" Shi Hao called out again.
Yunhua, whose figure was already blurry, sighed helplessly, "Will this ever end?"
"Wait for me, I will definitely come to find you." Shi Hao's voice was louder than ever before, shaking the years.
"You must stay alive and wait for me!"
Only a blurry figure with its back to the Immortal Realm twitched the corner of Yunhua's mouth before completely entering the Boundary Sea.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, Shi Hao's body emitted light, and then a ball of Dao fire manifested, quickly catching up with Yun Hua before disappearing into the mist.
Everyone was shocked, especially Shi Hao, who was even more astonished. How could this be?
The misty fog obscured everything, and no one could be seen anymore, as if no one had ever existed there.
Only the newly added line of footprints on the dike proves that someone just walked from here to the boundary sea, to the ultimate place.
On the embankment, two rows of footprints stood side by side in the distance.
Before the ages, in the era of the Fallen Emperors, which had already become a myth.
Another person walked out from behind the dike, leaving a footprint with each step until he disappeared into the boundary sea.
Those footprints, preserved for eternity, are one of the final proofs that that person ever existed.
After countless ages, now, some people have stepped onto the dam, left their footprints, and walked the same path as those who fell from grace.
The two rows of footprints stand side by side, strikingly visible, serving as a reminder to all living beings.
They share the same goal, but they don't know if they will end up the same way.
Yunhua's figure had disappeared, but none of them left; they were still gazing at the Boundary Sea.
The place was shrouded in mist, like a gigantic, dark maw that devoured everything.
One of the quasi-Immortal Emperors departed, heading to the Immortal Realm to quell the source of darkness.
"So, only a Quasi-Immortal Emperor can leave footprints on the dam?"
A celestial king focused his gaze on the footprints left by Yunhua, his eyes revealing a look of enlightenment.
The other set of footprints, placed alongside Yunhua's, has existed for a long time, and its origin remains unknown.
However, it has already attracted the attention of influential figures from all walks of life.
