The Eternal Supreme Chapter 2403: Goodbye, li Yunxiao

“So the plan is to execute Yuan and Wei Qing?” Yunxiao remarked with a bitter, self-deprecating smile. “It appears my list of targets is growing quite long.”

Lingmu Di let out a hearty laugh. “Haha, trusting Wei Qing is always an alternative. With him in the picture, we can at least maintain a balance against the three clans. As for Yuan, you could simply leave her to Che You. That way, your hands remain clean of blood. However, the real question is—can you truly place your faith in Wei Qing?”

Recalling the shattered remnants of the bottle on Wei Qing’s person back in the realm pit, and how the Judge had sacrificed himself to intercept an attack for him, Yunxiao felt a wave of unease wash over him.

“Hahaha!”

Lingmu Di laughed once more, his voice filled with a sense of finality. “In the end, the new era must inevitably supplant the old. These aren't concerns for a relic like me to dwell upon. Li Yunxiao, Ding Ling'er—I entrust the future to your hands.”

Yunxiao’s heart gave a sudden thud as his eyes snapped wide, staring intently at the Elder.

A soft, ethereal glow began to emanate from Lingmu Di’s form. His very life force was dissolving into shimmering motes of light, rapidly drifting away from his physical vessel.

Across from him, Beiming Nan underwent the same transformation. The two appeared as if they were crossing the threshold of life and death in perfect unison.

Ding Ling'er instinctively pressed her hand against her mouth, unable to suppress a soft sob.

Throughout her time in Yanwu, she had shared a deep bond with Lingmu Di, managing the weight of the world's affairs alongside him. Seeing him fade now filled her with profound grief.

Beiming Nan clasped his hands, offering a formal salute to Yunxiao. “It has been my fortune to encounter you after a destiny spanning a hundred thousand years. I greet the Realm King of this era, the Sovereign of the Heavenly Martial Alliance—Li Yunxiao.”

Fighting back the sting of tears, Yunxiao pressed his palms together before his chest and gave a solemn nod. “The honor was entirely mine, my Lords!”

Both he and Ding Ling'er bowed low in a gesture of deepest respect.

In an instant, Lingmu Di and Beiming Nan dissolved into pure radiance, slowly vanishing from the mortal plane.

Yunxiao and Ding Ling'er remained rooted to the spot, their gazes fixed on the empty air for a long time, reluctant to say a final goodbye.

Days later, the pair departed the valley and made their way back to the primary palace within the Holy Region.

News of Yunxiao’s return reached Qu Hongyan and Luo Yunshang, prompting them to break their seclusion immediately to greet him.

Xiao Hong also emerged from the Divine Realm Tablet.

Ever since Yunxiao had successfully refined the Divine Realm Tablet, he had become inextricably linked to the artifact. With her current power, she was unable to force her way out on her own. She felt relieved that despite Yunxiao’s recent state of mind, he had remained out of harm's way.

Soon after, Water Fairy joined the group. A gathering of legendary beauties formed, each more radiant and captivating than the last.

Seeing him return in one piece, the women could not hold back their tears of relief and joy.

Looking somewhat sheepish, Yunxiao detailed the situation regarding Ancient God Maha. While Ding Ling'er was already informed, the expressions of the other four shifted dramatically, leaving them in a state of shock.

Yunxiao then recounted the same explanation he had given to Ding Ling'er earlier.

Water Fairy began to weep openly, asking, “In that case, when will Big Brother Yunxiao take us to the outer realm so we can remain together forever?”

Yunxiao lacked a definitive answer, but seeing her cry pained him. He quickly moved to comfort her, saying, “It won't be long. Perhaps ten years, or a few decades at most. I promise I will come back.”

Only then did Water Fairy manage to dry her eyes.

Qu Hongyan offered a supportive smile. “Feiyang seeks a grander horizon, and we must stand behind him. Everyone, we must focus on our Cultivation. One day, we will surely reunite with him.”

Yunxiao reached out and playfully tapped Qu Hongyan’s nose, smiling warmly. “Hongyan truly understands me best. Regardless of what I face in the outer realm, I give you my word: I shall return within fifteen years.”

A sense of peace finally returned to the women.

Fifteen years was but a fleeting moment for cultivators of their caliber; a single session of deep seclusion could feel like a passing dream.

“Furthermore, I intend to find a method to revive Feini sooner,” Yunxiao added. “If the solution doesn't exist within this realm, I will find it in the outer realm.”

“Do not worry, Big Brother Yunxiao,” Water Fairy chimed in. “She is safe within my Ru Wo Wen. With the constant nourishment of my Saint Artifact, her recovery is only a matter of time.”

Suddenly, a laughing voice echoed through the hall. “Attending the Heavenly Dao Fruit Meet in the Land of Reincarnation is a rare blessing that occurs once in ten millennia. Why are you all acting as if this is a permanent farewell?”

Yunxiao’s brow furrowed in irritation. “Zhuo Qingfan! You were spying on us!”

The figure of Zhuo Qingfan slowly manifested in the air. He smirked and replied, “You aren't upset because I overheard your plans. You're embarrassed because I caught you being sentimental.”

The girls couldn't help but giggle, covering their mouths.

“You’re nothing but a voyeur!” Yunxiao snapped, his face flushing with irritation. “Peeping Tom, that's what you are!”

Zhuo Qingfan maintained a faint smile. “I won't trade insults with you. Let’s focus on reality. The Universe Disk will arrive in three years. Use this time to prepare. Furthermore, the Land of Reincarnation is a nexus located within the small chaotic galaxy of the Northern Universe. Only those who are Masters of the Thousand Worlds or have mastered the secrets of the Void can navigate it safely. If you wish to bring these ladies along, it is possible—provided you possess the strength to shield them. At every Heavenly Dao Fruit Meet, powerful experts often bring companions with lower Cultivation bases.”

As Zhuo Qingfan finished speaking, Yunxiao’s expression turned to one of pure shock. “You… you aren't Zhuo Qingfan. You are Ancient God Maha?!”

‘Zhuo Qingfan’ smiled thinly. “It seems that pride and anger truly cloud the mind. Did you really think I was just spying on your romance? Your agitation blinded you to the most obvious signs.”

Looking thoroughly embarrassed, Yunxiao’s eyes glittered with a strange intensity. “If I reach the level of a Master of the Thousand Worlds, can I truly take my companions with me?”

“Tsk, tsk.”

‘Zhuo Qingfan’ laughed. “Hardly. A Lord of the Thousand Realms can only ensure their own safety. To protect others, one must be significantly more powerful. Additionally, Zhuo Qingfan will be accompanying you. He is my bloodline descendant, and I hope he finds the opportunity at the Dao Fruit Meet to become a future Realm King, or perhaps even a Lord of the Thousand Realms.”

The revelation left Yunxiao stunned. “A higher level? There is something even beyond a Lord of the Thousand Realms? And Zhuo Qingfan is your descendant!”

The women shared his astonishment.

‘Zhuo Qingfan’ chuckled. “Eons ago, I grasped the existence of the Super Mysterious Space. To master its depths, I developed the Great Void Technique. Though it ultimately failed as a primary combat skill, it yielded an unexpected benefit. While it cannot transport me into that transcendent space, it allows me to project my consciousness into a body that shares the Void affinity. It’s a minor trick, but useful for moments like this.”

Yunxiao was speechless. So this was the true source of the notoriously enigmatic Great Void Technique.

‘Zhuo Qingfan’ continued, “In three years, we will combine our efforts to bridge the gap and summon the Universe Disk. This Void vessel will be essential. Beyond the Master of the Thousand Worlds lies the path to mastering the Arcane Void. I will share another secret: being a Master of the Thousand Worlds is quite dull if you only wander the derivative universes. The true thrill lies in entering the First Generation of the Chaotic Great Cosmos—the genuine Mystic World. The key to that realm is the Realm Heraldry.”

“Ah! So that is the purpose of the coat of arms!”

Understanding finally dawned on Yunxiao. It explained why Six-Winged was so obsessed with obtaining the Realm Emblem.

‘Zhuo Qingfan’ sighed softly. “In truth, there are multiple keys to the First Generation Cosmos. However, our small chaotic starfield is paved with scarcity. Many of the traditional keys simply don't exist here, leading some to resort to the barbaric practice of refining an entire world into a key. The old Demon World was refined by a madman who, after being hunted by our combined forces, fled into the First Generation of the Chaotic Great Cosmos long ago.”

“Lord Maha,” Yunxiao said after a brief silence, “I have a question, though I fear it may overstep.”

‘Zhuo Qingfan’ laughed. “Haha, it’s rare to see you so formal. Speak freely; I will tell you what I can. Is this about your wives? As I said, if you are strong enough, you can take them anywhere.”

Qu Hongyan and the others leaned in, their hearts racing.

Yunxiao nodded. “Then I must ask: why are you helping me? I know that nothing in this world comes without a price.”

The question hung in the air, causing the women to fall into a hushed silence.

‘Zhuo Qingfan’ let out a roar of laughter. “Haha, I wondered when you’d ask that. Remember, wherever sentient beings exist, there will be competition in the martial path. Whether in the Land of Reincarnation or the First Generation Cosmos, there are countless factions. These groups are largely defined by their home regions. It is somewhat embarrassing to admit, but because our starfield is resource-poor, our ranking among the Northern Universe factions is quite low. Therefore, we must constantly cultivate new powerhouses.”

Yunxiao understood immediately. “If we aren't near the top, where exactly do we rank?”

‘Zhuo Qingfan’ blinked and grumbled, “Why so many questions? At the very least, we aren't at the bottom! Stop prying, I don't have all day. I’ll grant you two more questions!”

Yunxiao pondered for a moment. “What level of strength must I achieve to wander the cosmos with my loved ones? To be truly unburdened and enjoy the freedom of the heavens?”

‘Zhuo Qingfan’ squinted his eyes. “Technically, a Master of the Thousand Worlds can roam the derivative cosmos with companions, but it is fraught with peril. If you seek total autonomy—where no one in existence dares to cross you—you must reach the ultimate state that can only be attained in the Super Mysterious World. The stage known since antiquity as the Eternal Supreme!”

“The Eternal Supreme!”

Yunxiao’s pupils dilated as a brilliant divine light flared in his eyes. A burning ambition for that ultimate throne ignited within him.

“Hehe.”

‘Zhuo Qingfan’ smirked. “It’s far too early for you to dream of being an Eternal Supreme. Focus on becoming a Lord of the Thousand Worlds first.”

Yunxiao nodded firmly. “I will. My final question: is there a way to save Feini?”

‘Zhuo Qingfan’ considered this. “Her state is indeed complex. If luck is on her side, she might reincarnate soon; if not, it could take a million years. In three years, I will use the Universe Plate to transmit a Nirvana Elixir. Place it within Feini’s Flame of Life. Let the fire consume the elixir’s essence; it will facilitate her path to Nirvana.”
