Chapter 2365

Zhu Yanyi looked at the seven spirits. "Stop thinking about it. You are living spirits. You must balance the elements of heaven and earth. I cannot let you sacrifice yourselves."

"Master, as long as you let us become part of you, we will not be sacrificed," Little Water said.

"How can we become part of you?" Zhu Yanyi asked.

Little Water explained, "We will turn into parts of your body. For example, Little Night becomes your hair, Little White becomes your skin, I become your blood, Little Wood becomes your vitality, Little Fire becomes your organs, Little Gold becomes your bones, and Little Earth becomes your flesh. Thus, we become you, and you become us. You will not die, and we will not perish. You will have the power to balance all elements in this plane. You can summon us anytime. If you do not summon us, we will just rest quietly inside you."

"Will this affect you?" Zhu Yanyi asked.

"No. And when you become a god in the future, we can become your guardian spirits," Little Wood said with a smile.

"I am sorry to trouble you," Zhu Yanyi said. She knew this was their wish. For these little spirits, she would walk the path to godhood.

After agreeing, the seven spirits merged directly into Zhu Yanyi’s body. From then on, Zhu Yanyi truly left her mortal body. The mortal body belongs to all living beings, but she had transcended it to become a true immortal.

Having successfully patched the sky, she called the seven spirits. She watched them play around her for a while before they entered her body again. Zhu Yanyi looked down and flicked her finger.

"Ma Tianliang, you are appointed as the Minister of Xun. Wu Han, you are appointed as the Minister of Kan. Shangguan Haohan, you are appointed as the Minister of Kun. After you die of old age, return to my side to fulfill the duties of the Four Kings and Eight Ministers." Since she had stepped onto the path of becoming a god, Zhu Yanyi needed to settle her mortal affairs.

"We obey your command," Ma Tianliang, Wu Han, and Shangguan Haohan said, kneeling to accept their titles. They felt three plant-like objects enter their bodies, granting them cultivation methods.

Zhu Yanyi looked at the people below. "The sky is patched. Heaven and earth will return to normal, and the elements are restored. In the future, people with special abilities and strong physiques will appear. I hope you use your abilities wisely to build society and protect this planet. If I find out you are acting recklessly, I will personally destroy this planet."

She made her meaning clear: protect your own planet.

Yan Aohan walked to Zhu Yanyi’s side and held out his hand. Zhu Yanyi placed her hand in his. The Silver Fox appeared nearby.

When everyone saw Yan Aohan and the Silver Fox use their divine powers to block the black hole, they realized that the Beijing Venerable Yanluo was not an ordinary person.

Now that they had dropped their disguises, Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi looked like people in their early twenties. People had forgotten that they should actually be fifty or sixty years old.

Zhu Yanyi took out a box and handed it to the Silver Fox. "Here is the Hundred Herbs Soul-Returning Pill. There is only one in heaven and earth. I patched the sky once, so there is only one. If it is lost, it is gone forever."

The Silver Fox took it and smiled. "Thank you. Let us meet again in the Immortal Realm."

"Maybe. I am walking the path of becoming a god. If fate allows, we will meet again." Although she wanted to see her sister, some things depended on fate.

"I am leaving now," the Silver Fox said. His goal was achieved, so he left.

Parting today meant meeting again in the future. The Silver Fox knew that since Zhu Yanyi was walking the path of godhood, she would do many things, so they might meet again. For now, his most important task was to save his wife.

After the Silver Fox left, Zhu Yanyi made her final arrangements.

Once she left this time, she would never appear in public again. The immortal and the mortal were now distinct.

Seeing Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan return, Yan Xibei appeared with a young woman. "Mom, Dad, this is my girlfriend, Qiu Tang'er."

Zhu Yanyi looked at the girl, smiled slightly, and took out a bracelet. She put it directly on Qiu Tang'er's wrist. Then she said to Yan Xibei, "Little Northwest, you should get married soon. Your father and I will be here for at most three more months. Before we leave, we want to see you get married."

Yan Xibei nodded. "Okay, Tang'er, what do you think?"

After seeing Zhu Yanyi patch the sky, Qiu Tang'er respected her mother-in-law greatly. "I have no objections. I will go home and tell them right away."

"Good. Tang'er, you go tell them. Let’s arrange a time for our two families to meet and finalize everything," Zhu Yanyi said.

Yan Aohan did not speak. Since Qiu Tang'er was his daughter-in-law, it was better for Zhu Yanyi to speak first. He would speak when Qiu Tang’er’s father came tomorrow.

Zhu Yanyi had many mortal matters to settle. She needed to say a proper goodbye to her siblings and make other arrangements, especially for the Aoyan Traditional Chinese Medicine School.

She would let Gu Jingtian take full responsibility for the Aohan Traditional Chinese Medicine School. In the library of the Aoyan Traditional Chinese Medicine School, Zhu Yanyi would leave many of her medical experience manuals. These were treasures for the students learning medicine.

After visiting Gu Jingtian, Zhu Yanyi went to see Yu Qingyun.

Yu Qingyun was now in his sixties, but he looked no older than forty. He looked very young, probably because he had been to the Sage Academy. There, he had learned health preservation methods. Although these methods did not have such a strong effect on Gu Jingtian and others, their health was still good.

"Senior Brother Qingyun," Zhu Yanyi said when she arrived. She saw Yu Qingyun reviewing a student’s report.

Now, the older generation focused more on teaching students. To leave behind good doctors, they devoted their later years to passing on their skills.

"Junior Sister is here," Yu Qingyun said. Whether out of habit or not, even though Zhu Yanyi was in her fifties, they still called her Junior Sister, showing their original intentions had not changed.

"I came to see you," Zhu Yanyi smiled. She had half a sentence left unsaid.

Yu Qingyun understood and smiled. "You are leaving." She knew this world was never a place where Zhu Yanyi could stay forever.

"Yes. There is nothing left for me and Aohan to learn in this world. So we will go to other worlds to learn. The Immortal Realm is our next destination," Zhu Yanyi answered with a smile.

"I never thought my junior sister would become an immortal," Yu Qingyun said with a helpless smile. "I always thought the idea of immortals was absurd and lacked scientific basis. But now I know I was wrong."

Zhu Yanyi smiled gently. "It does not matter. Everyone has their own thoughts. Every world has its own theme. The theme of this world we are in is science. However, after I patched the sky, many people will want to cultivate. Although I have balanced the elements of this plane, cultivation here will only make people’s bodies healthier. As long as science exists, it will be difficult to become an immortal. Science exists to eliminate actual spiritual energy. To preserve spiritual energy, scientific research must stop, but human ambition will not stop. So the only thing I can do is ensure everyone has a healthy body."

"In that case, doctors will have much less work," Yu Qingyun laughed.

"No. The focus of doctors’ work might change. Since bodies are healthier and physical strength increases, conflicts may increase. However, I will set invisible rules. As long as there are no wars that endanger this planet, I will not interfere. That is how the world works. Moreover, wars within the planet may develop into wars between planets as science improves and health increases. You don’t think only our planet has people, do you?"

Zhu Yanyi looked at Yu Qingyun with a smile.

Yu Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then understood. "Are you saying interplanetary war?"

"I don’t know if interplanetary war will break out, but I am sure other planets have people. Actually, the future of this plane is not in my hands, but in everyone’s hands. So there is no need to think too much."

A slight smile appeared on Zhu Yanyi’s lips. She did not care how the planet’s future would unfold. The plane would not disappear, but civilizations would replace one another. Past civilizations of gods and demons had disappeared, let alone the current one. Humans only understand this at the beginning, but Zhu Yanyi would not say it. Human progress would not stop because of this plane. It was better to let them act freely.

Yu Qingyun understood Zhu Yanyi’s meaning and then smiled. "In that case, I will cultivate more students."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I have nothing else to say. After seeing you, I will visit some other friends, such as former school alumni. Then I will go to the Four Towns, and finally to the Sage Plane."

No matter what, she had to leave in the end.

"I guess this is the last time we, senior and junior siblings, will meet. No matter what, Junior Sister, have a safe journey," Yu Qingyun blessed her sincerely.

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. This was Yu Qingyun’s blessing and their final words. Perhaps they would never meet again.

After leaving Yu Qingyun, Zhu Yanyi went to visit Zhu Ziming and Qu Chong.

No matter what, every gathering had different conversations. Although not many, it was enough.

At least these senior brothers knew that as long as Zhu Yanyi was their junior sister, they would have a different status, because Zhu Yanyi was a true immortal in this world.

Zhu Yanyi also visited her former students, such as Hui Junlan, and some alumni.

That day, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan went directly to Country Y, mainly to see the brothers Keith and Hans.

These two brothers were now very famous dukes in Country Y. Originally, only one could inherit the title, but it was said that during a disaster, Keith and Hans helped the current king of Country Y against the pressure of their entire family, so the other also obtained the duke title.

Although they were in their fifties, they looked less than forty, very young, probably because they took good care of themselves.

Seeing Zhu Yanyi, they were not surprised. After all, they had seen Zhu Yanyi’s giant form before, so they knew she was not a mortal.

"Zhu Yanyi, I didn’t expect you to come see us," Keith said.

Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "I am leaving, so I wanted to visit old friends while I still have a few days."

Keith and Hans nodded. "Don’t worry. As long as we brothers are here, we will definitely maintain good relations between Country Y and China."

"I believe you," Zhu Yanyi nodded. She then took out two boxes, one for each. "Inside is a life-saving pill. As long as there is a breath left and the death is unnatural, taking it can bring you back to life. But life is only once, so this is just for self-defense. Do not become reckless because you have this."

Keith and Hans did not refuse and accepted the boxes.

Keith looked at Zhu Yanyi. This woman had once stirred her youthful heart. But as time passed, she realized she could never have a place by her side, because that place had long been given to someone else. So she suppressed her feelings. Unexpectedly, over the years, it turned into friendship.

Thinking about it, it was not bad. At least she was still close to her. Unfortunately, she could not become her minister.

She knew about her appointing ministers in the air, but although she was a friend, she did not have that opportunity. Not for any other reason, but because although she had once had feelings, she would not risk her life and fortune for her. She was quite selfish. Probably because of this selfishness, she was destined not to be with her.

Zhu Yanyi and Keith and Hans drank a cup of coffee, then left with Yan Aohan.

This planet could no longer stop her steps. Coming and going was just a step.

"Mom, I have booked a private room in the Beijing club. Tang'er’s family will come then," Yan Xibei said.

Zhu Yanyi naturally had no objections. Before leaving, she most hoped to see Yan Xibei start a family. "Good. Your father and I have handled most things. After you get married, we will leave. Little Northwest, you will have to live here alone from now on."

Yan Xibei lowered his head. "Mom, Dad, don’t worry. I will be fine."

"Yes, I believe you. Don’t worry, we will have the chance to meet again," Yan Aohan said.

Yan Xibei smiled. "Don’t worry, Mom, Dad. I will work hard. You have given me a good start. I will work even harder to make China happier."

Yan Xibei’s path had originally been difficult, with much intrigue. But Yan Xibei was the child of Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi. Now that everyone knew Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan were not mortals, they would look upon Yan Xibei with respect. So, Yan Xibei’s path would not be difficult in the future.

"In that case, we can rest assured," Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan smiled.

After meeting with Qiu Tang'er’s family, they finalized the wedding date for Yan Xibei and Qiu Tang'er, setting it for ten days later. Although time was short, with their abilities, preparation was not difficult.

Many hands make light work. Everyone from the Zhu and Yan families participated, so the wedding was very well-organized and lively.

Considering this was the only child of Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan, everyone tried to get an invitation, hoping to see Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan one last time.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan did not avoid anyone. Meeting everyone settled all their mortal ties.

After Yan Xibei’s wedding, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan went to Mount Kunlun. Before leaving, Zhu Yanyi wanted to offer a true blessing to the mortal plane of China.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan instantly became giants again. Zhu Yanyi continuously made hand seals.

People all over the planet saw Zhu Yanyi close her eyes. Then, the cinnabar mole on her forehead turned into a lotus flower. The lotus flowers entered the world one by one. As the lotuses entered the world, people all over the world felt their bodies become lighter, the air became clearer, and some people with chronic illnesses recovered their health.

"I have offered a blessing for everyone on this planet. I pray for your health and hope you cherish the present. Well, we are leaving. Goodbye." The giant shadows of Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan disappeared into the sky. No matter what, Zhu Yanyi left behind knowledge and legends, while she and Yan Aohan left together.

Zhu Yanyi did not ascend directly to the Immortal Realm. Instead, she planned to go to the Sage Plane to see the people of the Sage Academy again before leaving.

Entering the Sage Plane, Zhu Yanyi felt completely different. Although less than thirty years had passed in the mortal plane, eighty years had passed here.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan did not disturb anyone. They suppressed their cultivation and came to the Sage Academy. The scenery in the Sage Academy had not changed much. The trees inside were just older, but otherwise, there seemed to be no change.

Zhu Yanyi first went to see her own herb field.

The herb field was clear, obviously tended to regularly. "It seems someone comes to tend to my herb field often."

"The Sage Academy is good in this way. They value every herb field. Once developed, someone will naturally guard these fields," Yan Aohan said beside her.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "What do you think Senior Brother Tianyun and others will do if they know I am here?"

"They will probably be happy. But do you plan to see everyone?" Yan Aohan asked.

Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "Let’s find a quiet place, send them a message, and let them come over. We will gather and then leave."

She was no longer a person of this place, so lingering here was unnecessary.

"Will you not choose people here to be your Four Kings and Eight Ministers?" Yan Aohan asked.

Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "No need. I chose Ma Tianliang and the other two because of their loyalty in their bones. I do not like to suspect people casually, but I hope the people I choose are loyal. Over the years, only Ma Tianliang and the other two have caught my eye."
