The so-called Meng Po Soup is the most magical wine in the world. It can cause people to fall into dreams, recall the past, and become so deeply immersed that they struggle to awaken. Therefore, for Bai Li Dongjun to truly wake up, he had to rely on his own willpower. In his dream, he revisited his youth—handsome and gallant, with a gifted girl by his side—yet a destined romance still ended in regret.

After ten more years in a great dream, camellias filled the sky as Bai Li Dongjun reunited with Yue Yao, just like their first meeting. Sadly, in all his preparations over the years, Bai Li Dongjun had completely forgotten that Yue Yao had died and her soul had dissipated. Even after drinking Meng Po Soup, it was all just an illusion. Life is a great dream; death is the ultimate awakening.

Under Yue Yao’s guidance, Bai Li Dongjun awoke as if from a dream, and the past became smoke and clouds. After this great awakening, Bai Li Dongjun entered the realm of divine wandering and then left the cave with Tang Lian. Meanwhile, Mo Yi arrived as promised to meet Xiao Se and the others. A trace of eerie light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Ye Ruoyi.

Lei Wujie drew his sword, Sikong Qianluo leaped with her spear, and Ye Ruoyi swung her sleeves—three of them moved together, forming a Three Talents Array to encircle Mo Yi. However, Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo had never studied Daoist techniques. Relying on Ye Ruoyi alone was not enough to hold out for long. Mo Yi flicked his fingers, breaking the barrier and easily suppressing Xiao Se and his group.

Lei Wujie, in order to save Ye Ruoyi, forcefully entered the Xiaoyao Heavenly Realm, but he was still no match for Mo Yi and was quickly severely injured. Fortunately, Bai Li Dongjun arrived in time and saw through Mo Yi’s intent—to use Ye Ruoyi’s body to carry his sister’s soul, essentially bringing her back from the dead by borrowing another's body. Enraged by Bai Li Dongjun’s obstruction, Mo Yi ignored his persuasion and attacked first.

In an instant, the two soared into the air. After one move, wind and rain stirred in all directions, and thunder and lightning surged. The disciples of the Astronomical Observatory observed celestial anomalies and personally set up a ritual for Qi Tianchen, aiding his divine journey to Penglai Immortal Mountain. Qi Tianchen and Mo Yi were fellow disciples who hadn’t seen each other in decades. Time had changed all.

Out of gratitude to their master, Mo Yi willingly accepted three strikes from Qi Tianchen’s horsetail whisk and remained unscathed. When the third kneel ended, the world seemed to stand still. Although Qi Tianchen and Bai Li Dongjun knew they were not Mo Yi’s match, they still fought with all their strength. Never before had three cultivators in the Divine Wandering Realm appeared at once.

In this clash of titans, they used their legs as sword hilts, bodies as blades, and fists as sword tips—becoming one with the sword in both form and spirit. Under the combined assault of Qi Tianchen and Bai Li Dongjun, even someone as powerful as Mo Yi could no longer stay composed and had to respond defensively. Lei Wujie recalled that driving out demons required the combined power of the three teachings—Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism.

Since he had studied the Invincible Demon-Subduing Fist from Wu Xin, he chose to forcefully reenter the Xiaoyao Heavenly Realm and launched punch after punch at Mo Yi. At the critical moment, Xiao Se noticed something unusual on Mo Yi’s face, suspecting he was falling into the Ghost Path. Using Sikong Qianluo’s spear, he approached Mo Yi. As expected, Xiao Se activated the Heart Demon Lure, changing the scenery around Mo Yi.

First, he encountered the immortal version of himself, and then he saw the truth of the past. Mo Yi had always believed that his sister was killed by the coldness of the world, but in reality, she chose death to avoid being a burden to him. In an instant, the illusion vanished, and Mo Yi’s eyes cleared.

Grateful to Xiao Se for saving him, he repaid him with internal energy to restore his meridians, allowing him to regain his strength and resume cultivation in the future. After healing Xiao Se, Mo Yi also used his energy to protect Ye Ruoyi’s heart meridian. As long as she doesn’t suffer severe injuries in this life, she will be no different from an ordinary person.

Because of this incident, Mo Yi decided to enter seclusion for cultivation and earnestly requested Bai Li Dongjun to protect him. Bai Li Dongjun readily agreed and chose to remain on Penglai Immortal Island. As for matters in Xueyue City, he had entrusted them to Sikong Changfeng and reminded Tang Lian that it was time for the younger generation to take on responsibility. Every year, the capital Tianqi holds a sacrificial ceremony, but this year was different.

Everyone speculated whether Ming Dedi would select a new crown prince, and who the candidate might be. Lord Bai, Xiao Chong, believed that their father might not write Xiao Chuhe’s name, as doing so would surely invite danger and resistance. In Xiao Chong’s view, although their sixth brother had been exiled by Ming Dedi years ago, seemingly without care for his safety, who could say exile wasn’t a form of protection? After all, Tianqi City was the most dangerous place.

In contrast, Lord Chi, Xiao Yu, was proud and confident that he would firmly secure the crown prince position. He believed he had enough leverage to eliminate Xiao Chuhe, using Xiao Chong’s hand to remove his greatest enemy. On the journey back east, Mu Chunfeng said they were all still youths—unashamed in defeat, humble in victory, holding swords in hand and purpose in heart. Lei Wujie harbored suspicions, curious whether his encounter with Xiao Se at Snowfall Villa was truly fate or something Xiao Se had orchestrated.
