[The Five Great Sacred Lands have formed the Alliance of Righteousness.]

[They are determined to eradicate all demonic cultivators under heaven.]

[Recently, your Soul Refining Hall has gained considerable renown. It has also been marked as a target for suppression.]

[During this period, Zhu Diezhen is on the verge of breaking past the Tribulation Crossing Realm.]

[Upon success, she will reach the Ascension stage, and ascend to the Heavenly Realm.]

[This is a stage countless cultivators dream of achieving.]

[In this era, the last time a cultivator ascended to the Heavenly Realm was five thousand years ago.]

[Once Zhu Diezhen succeeds, she will undoubtedly become famous throughout the cultivation world.]

[However, breaking through the Tribulation Crossing realm is also extremely dangerous. A slight misstep could lead to death.]

[You didn't want Zhu Diezhen to be distracted, so you didn't tell her this information about the Alliance of Righteousness.]

[You ordered all sect members to keep silent about it.]

[For safety's sake, you personally selected a secluded place for Zhu Diezhen to practice peacefully.]

[You lied to her, saying you would also seclude yourself soon to break through to the Ascension Realm.]

[You told her you would meet her after a hundred years at most after successfuly breaking through.]

[Zhu Diezhen believed you.]

[So she began secluding herself to prepare for breakthrough.]

[Meanwhile, you led all the demonic cultivators of the sect to defend against attacks from the righteous path.]

[But no matter how hard you tried, ultimately, you did not survive.]

[You were slain by Yun Roumu, the Saintess of Azure Cloud Sect.]

[On the eve of your soul dispersing, you looked north.]

[That was where Zhu Diezhen was in seclusion.]

[At the same time, you left her a final gift there.]

In the next moment, the images in Ye Yu's mind shattered instantly.

And he woke up from the dream.

[This dream experience concludes.]

[Died at the age of 972.]

[Dream Evaluation: Excellent+]

[Randomly gained two dream life abilities.]

[1. Cultivation at the early Foundation Establishment stage at the age of fifteen.]

[2. The complete set of the Ten Thousand Souls Technique at the age of 570.]

[For achieving Excellent+ in dream evaluation, one thing will be materialized as a reward.]

[Materialized Reward: Soul Refining Hall Ruins.]

As the system's voice faded, Ye Yu immediately felt an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy fill his body.

This unprecedented sensation filled Ye Yu with joy.

But what intrigued him the most was the materialization of dream items.

Turning things from dreams into reality.

Just imagine it.

If Zhu Diezhen could be materialized....Ye Yu would essentially have free rein here in the future.

A Dao companion at the pinnacle of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

Pull her close during the day, and feel completely safe.

Pull her close at night, and study calligraphy together.

Isn't that beautiful?

It's just a pity that this time, the dream only materialized the ruins of the Soul Refining Hall.

What a pity.

However, this also revealed a new ability of the system to Ye Yu.

When the evaluation reaches Excellent+, a random item from the dream can be materialized.

This has definitely opened a new world for Ye Yu.

If Excellent+ is this rewarding, what could he gain from an even higher evaluation?

Ye Yu was filled with anticipation.

He secretly made up his mind.

If given the chance, he must visit the ruins of the Soul Refining Hall. After all, that was where he had risen to prominence in the dream.

And it was in that place where he spent countless wonderful nights with Zhu Diezhen.

How could he not go pay his respects and reminisce?

At this moment, Ye Yu was not aware.

Although his dream had ended, the dreams of some people had not yet stopped.

Inside the Soul Refining Hall, Zhu Diezhen kept her eyes tightly closed.

But a smile appeared on her face.

The scenes from the dream continued.

[After several years of seclusion, Zhu Diezhen successfully broke past the Crossing Tribulation Realm and became the first grand cultivator to reach the Ascension Realm in five thousand years.]

[This event was enough to shock the entire cultivation world.]

[Zhu Diezhen was very happy and wanted to find Ye Yu.]

[But when she came out of seclusion, she didn't see Ye Yu's figure.]

[Instead, she found a sealed box on the stone wall at the entrance.]

[Judging from the craftsmanship, it was undoubtedly from Ye Yu.]

[Zhu Diezhen, now an Ascension Realm cultivator, easily broke the seal.]

[To her surprise, inside was a letter.]

[In the letter, Ye Yu first recounted the joint effort of the Five Great Sacred Grounds to eradicate demons.]

[He then told Zhu Diezhen that if she had been in seclusion for a long time and found this letter upon coming out, it meant that Ye Yu was likely no longer alive.]

[However, before leaving, Ye Yu had also made preparations for Zhu Diezhen.]

[The Union Pill is actually not incurable.]

[After seeing Zhu Diezhen off to seclusion, Ye Yu spent a great price to ask the Ghost Doctor of the Holy Hands Hall to remove the Union Pill from his heart.]

[This way, even if something unexpected happened, it wouldn't drag Zhu Diezhen down.]

[At the end of the letter, Ye Yu told Zhu Diezhen that he never regretted meeting her.]

[Nor did he regret the time they spent together.]

[If there was another life, he wished they could have a child together, which would be even better.]

[After carefully reading this letter, Zhu Diezhen burst into tears on the spot.]

[Her figure swayed, almost falling down.]

[But she forced herself to stay strong.]

[With the fastest speed, she arrived inside the Soul Refining Hall.]

[To her surprise, she found that it had already become a ruin.]

[That night,]

[from within the Soul Refining Hall came the heart-wrenching cries of a woman.]

[Zhu Diezhen's hair turned white overnight.]

[Two months later,]

[Zhu Diezhen slaughtered all the sects that had besieged the Soul Refining Hall years ago.]

[In the cultivation world, everyone was on edge, afraid that the next sect to be wiped out would be their own.]

[But they didn't know.]

[Zhu Diezhen had already returned to the Soul Refining Hall.]

[Sitting alone amidst the ruins.]

[Remembering all the past with Ye Yu.]

[With one hand on her chest.]

[She murmured softly, "Union Pill, Union Pill, husband and wife's union of the heart, one dies, the other, cannot live."]

[This grand cultivator of the Ascension Realm gave up the opportunity to ascend easily and chose to die for love.]

...

Inside the Ten Thousand Souls Hall.

Zhu Diezhen suddenly opened her eyes.

She found herself still in this familiar environment.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It turns out, everything before this....

Was all just a dream.

No, that's not right!

How could it be just a dream?

Every sensation felt completely real, whether it was the injuries from battle, the bottlenecks in cultivation...or the tenderness of being with someone.

It all felt so real.

How could a dream be like this?

Ye Yu, the Soul Refining Hall, the Ascension Realm—

All of this, it felt like reliving a lifetime.

It couldn't just be a simple dream.

But how could she prove whether these things really happened?

With determination in her heart, Zhu Diezhen headed north.

A while later....

Zhu Diezhen stood amidst a pile of ruins.

Tears slid down her smooth face.

She trembled as she spoke, "It wasn't a dream, it really wasn't a dream!"
