Chapter 81 - 79: Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raises a Bun
Ten years after the great battle, Shun Ying and Xue Ze held a sensational ceremony to join their paths. Thirty years later, the Great Elder and the Sect Leader ascended in succession.
Everyone thought Ye Qiu would be the next to ascend, but a hundred years on, Shun Hua and Shun Ying ascended while there was still no sign from Ye Qiu.
"Senior brother, why is that?" Chen Qingchi asked him with confusion. He knew that based on his senior brother’s abilities, Ye Qiu should have ascended before the Great Elder, yet after such a long wait and even having undergone his own Tribulation, the senior brother showed no intention to ascend.
"There is no why." Ye Qiu chose not to tell him the reason. He was not from this world, and even if he wanted to stay, neither the Heavenly Dao nor the mysterious organization behind the System would accept him. Once they all ascended, it would be time for him to leave as well.
"Here, take these." Ye Qiu handed two pieces of Green Copper to Chen Qingchi, hoping he could collect the remaining pieces. He also shared most of the Spirit Plants from the Little Wood Spirit’s space with him, fulfilling their many years of friendship.
Ten years later, with regret, Chen Qingchi ascended, and Ye Qiu left the Sword Pavilion, with no one knowing his whereabouts.
Ye Qiu traveled the entire Cultivation World with the Earth Spirit, seeking Spiritual Objects to heal its injuries. Along the way, he encountered a Golden Spirit that wasn’t subdued by Qingling in this life. Without disturbing it, he silently left.
Twenty years later, Ye Qiu saw a baby in a mortal town bearing a Buddha’s relic and aura of the Buddha’s chant, with a red mole between the eyebrows, very similar to Ming Jing who died on the battlefield of the Demon Clan. Ye Qiu took him to Putuo Temple and handed him over to the aged abbot.
Another ten years passed, and the Earth Spirit could now transform into a little turtle. Without any regrets left, Ye Qiu settled the Little Wood Spirit and the others and returned to the Sword Pavilion, placing all his belongings at the top of Snow Mountain
From then on, Silent Annihilation Sword Master was never seen again in the Cultivation World.
