North Sea, the fierce wind was biting.

The flying sword gradually came to a halt, Xie Xuanyi arrived at the seaside, sensing an unseen summons.

From the depths of the North Sea, it felt as if something was calling to him.

"Arriving at the North Sea..."

Jiang Miaoyin's voice was hoarse with tension, "And then?"

The two rode their swords northward without pausing for a moment.

Now, they finally reached their destination.

Though the winds and waves of the North Sea were great at this moment, it could still be considered calm... In the previous life, that bloody battle here claimed the lives of hundreds to thousands of cultivators, staining the tides red, and the ghost souls crowded the shore.

At this moment, the vast North Sea was occupied only by the two of them, Xie Xuanyi and Jiang Miaoyin.

The tides ebbed and flowed.

A deathly silence.

"I think... I might need to 'die' once."

Xie Xuanyi stared intently into the depths of the North Sea for a long time before suddenly speaking.

He had a vague premonition.

At the bottom of the North Sea... something was waiting for him.

"Die?!"

Jiang Miaoyin's eyes widened in disbelief, "You're seeking death?"

"If I'm not mistaken... while in a state of divine travel, as long as my divine soul remains stable, so-called 'death' won't occur..."

Xie Xuanyi stared at the North Sea.

The summons within his heart lake grew stronger and stronger.

"It seems... jumping into the North Sea is perhaps an inevitable fate of mine?"

Xie Xuanyi spoke again, his tone carrying a hint of self-mockery.

He didn't look back, but behind him came the roaring sound of void gates opening.

The golden treasure ships of the Imperial City Department, the holy mountains, and the offenders from the big family clans had all reached the 'destination.'

This lifetime.

Though the Three Saints were dead, the pursuit and kill were far from over.

The battle at Yusang City... clearly had its outcome determined...

"Clang!"

Jiang Miaoyin, watching the sky full of golden light, bit her lip, drew the long sword at her waist, and prepared for a desperate battle.

But her wrist was caught.

"What meaning would there be in continuing this fight?"

Xie Xuanyi shook his head, "Even if I promote to Yang God, would the situation in the North Sea truly be rewritten?"

"..."

Jiang Miaoyin was momentarily stunned.

"Alright. This time I won't compete with them."

Xie Xuanyi laughed softly and gently, "Senior Sister Miao Yin, from now on, don't feel pain over the North Sea matter anymore, you can't change the outcome, nor can I. Now everyone wishes for my death... in this situation, I probably must die."

Hearing this, a sourness welled up in Jiang Miaoyin's heart.

"Who says everyone wants you dead?"

Jiang Miaoyin stubbornly said with reddened eyes, "I want you to live, Qi Lie, Huang Su, Si Qi, and Master... many people hope you can survive."

"Isn't this 'living'?"

Xie Xuanyi stretched out the other hand, amid the heavy encirclement, in front of the cultivators of the holy mountain families, he embraced Jiang Miaoyin.

He gently patted Miao Yin's back, calmly saying, "Jump into the North Sea with me... I'll protect your divine soul from harm."

The next moment.

The two leaned back.

"Xie Xuanyi jumped into the sea!"

On the treasure ship of Baihua Valley, the Valley Master shouted, out of control.

"Quick, make a move!"

On the side of the Imperial City Department, the Special Enforcement Officer whispered, and hundreds of spies hurriedly drew their bows and arrows, the specially-made arrows carried with surging primordial energy, shooting into the North Sea, but only exploding into masses of water vapor!

How could a mere North Sea drown a Yin God?

Moreover...

Judging from Xie Xuanyi's displayed combat prowess over the past few days, this youngest Da Sui Sword Immortal in history might have already touched the threshold of the Yang God Realm!

All of a sudden.

Countless blazing lights, Dharma Seals, treasures, flying swords, all shot towards the North Sea!

Ten million blazing lights interwove and burst, like a great sun, crushing the sea into pieces!

The void within hundreds of feet disintegrated under this terrifying force...

But against everyone's expectations, after the sea water cleared, not a trace of blood appeared.

The pair of men and women who embraced and nestled together, jumping into the North Sea, vanished like they evaporated from the world, completely disappearing without a trace or sign!

"Impossible!"

A low roar of rage came from the treasure ship of the Imperial City Department, "They must still be nearby! Search!"

One treasure ship after another turned into streams of light, sealing off the entire twenty-mile ocean area.

...

...

However, this search was destined to yield no results.

Rumble.

In the icy North Sea, a man and a woman continued to descend.

The distance they fell far exceeded the depth of the North Sea's shore...

"Gurgle, gurgle."

Jiang Miaoyin held her breath, feeling the temperature of the person in her embrace, she had never scrutinized Xie Xuanyi's face this closely before, under the immersion of seawater, as the sunlight gradually faded away, Xie Xuanyi's face appeared extremely pale, like paper.

But even so, this face still made Jiang Miaoyin inwardly marvel at its beauty.

All these years.

The two had never been so "intimate" before.

To the extent that Jiang Miaoyin overlooked the fact she was even more beautiful.

She earnestly gazed at Xie Xuanyi.

And Xie Xuanyi earnestly gazed at the increasingly near abyss of the seabed... with his qi control speed, at this moment, falling from the North Sea, might have already descended several miles deep.

He did not use the Water Avoidance talisman.

Unsure if it was an illusion.

The deeper they went.

The less pressure from the seawater.

The previously pitch-black sea, from the depths of the crevices, seemed to send forth sacred, resplendent golden light.

"...Eh?"

Jiang Miaoyin let out a slight sound of surprise from her throat.

She too seemed to sense something was amiss.

Just a moment ago, Jiang Miaoyin caught a glimpse of the golden light resembling fireflies.

She had already been descending for a long, long time...

Down further, it might be the bottom of the North Sea, how could there be light in such a place?

Rumble.

As confusion arose in Jiang Miaoyin's heart, as if to set the scene, the golden light from the seabed's crevices began to explode, a slight tremor from the depths softly carried upward, and the tightly embracing two witnessed the most unforgettable and grand spectacle of their lifetime.

Thousands, tens of thousands, millions, even more golden lights surged from the bottom of the North Sea.

Like a rainstorm.

Just that...

It's an "inverted rain."

Not falling from the sky but emerging from the sea eye.

If it were just this, it wouldn't count as "spectacular".

The seawater gently resonated, as this innumerable golden brilliance floated to the front, Xie Xuanyi then discovered...

This was not seawater at all.

These pieces of golden brilliance were golden cicadas.

["Is this... cicadas?"]

Jiang Miaoyin's expression was one of shock, confusion, and bewilderment as she sent this out through divine thought.

["Yes."]

Xie Xuanyi had already guessed who that figure appearing in Yusang City earlier was.

Xie Xuanyi gently sighed, replying with deep implication.

["This is... Chan."]
