# Chapter 1801: For the Future, Reuniting in the Past
The sound of the zither rang out within the Chaos Hall. A fierce murderous intent flared in the eyes of Young Master Zixiao, but as the melody of the Zixiao Enlightenment Melody reached his ears, the killing intent gradually faded, replaced only by memories and longing.
Only those of ultimate emotion could reach ultimate sanctity.
Yet those of ultimate emotion and ultimate sanctity were also easily taken advantage of.
Young Master Zixiao had been able to reach his current position and become a young master of the Miluo Palace precisely because his emotions were focused and intense, but this strength had also become his weakness.
"I still cannot personally deal with this woman..."
Young Master Zixiao desperately wanted to ignore the Zixiao Enlightenment Melody, wanted to immediately use his zither music to kill the Moon Sovereign, but he simply could not make a move.
As time passed, his longing for his deceased wife grew deeper and deeper, heavier and heavier, and more and more intense.
Although he knew clearly that such longing was disadvantageous to him, he could not bear to cut it off and abandon it. If he cut it off and abandoned it, he would no longer be himself.
"Lingxiao..." Young Master Zixiao said with difficulty.
Actually, there was no need for his reminder—Young Master Lingxiao had already made his move!
Young Master Lingxiao's attack was domineering and decisive. He charged straight to the front of the Chaos Hall behind Qin Mu, unleashing his most ruthless killing technique, aimed directly at the Moon Sovereign!
The Moon Sovereign was no match for him at all. Even though he was only using the physical body of the Heavenly Sovereign Hao, the Moon Sovereign absolutely could not withstand even one of his moves!
Qin Mu stepped sideways to block, sixteen chaotic rivers howling and spinning around him, intercepting Lingxiao's attack!
"Seventh Brother, this move of yours is not yet perfected—you still have a long way to go!"
Young Master Lingxiao let out a long cry, forcibly charging into the sixteen chaotic rivers. His figure was like a spear, riding the wind and breaking through the waves, charging straight ahead.
He waved his hand, sending out streaks of spear shadows that plunged into the rivers, stabilizing each river and preventing them from circulating!
Compared to Boundless Elder's helplessness when facing Qin Mu's move, he was much more composed. Boundless Elder could not use any divine ability to deal with Qin Mu, but he could see through the flaws in Qin Mu's techniques and divine abilities!
Boom!
Young Master Lingxiao broke through the sixteen chaotic rivers, and the two clashed head-on. Qin Mu used his hand as a sword, unleashing the Heavenly Capital Heaven-Opening Chapter, while Young Master Lingxiao executed that great technique created by the master of the Miluo Palace specifically to counter the master of the Heavenly Capital. The two fought at lightning speed before the Chaos Hall, their figures flashing and disappearing in an instant.
Chi chi chi—
Qin Mu's entire body was covered in bloody holes, the Heavenly Capital Heaven-Opening Chapter completely shattered!
Dong—
The Universe Bell, which had been suppressing Boundless Elder, flew over. With a single ring of the bell, Young Master Lingxiao was blasted away. In the moment his figure flew out, the Dao spear embedded in Young Master Wuji's chest flew over, striking the Universe Bell and nearly piercing through the great bell.
The bell spun, and the spear shaft was redirected toward Young Master Lingxiao.
As Young Master Lingxiao flew backward, he reached out, grabbed the spear shaft, and with a forceful flick, sent the bell flying!
On the roots of the World Tree, Boundless Elder struggled to rise. Seeing this, he gritted his teeth and, mustering his remaining power, shook the three of them off the tree!
The World Tree's power was no longer what it once was. It shot toward the outside of the Return to Void Great Abyss, carrying Boundless Elder with it.
At the same time, on the Return to Void Lotus Platform, Young Master Wuji finally rose. He forcibly mustered his last remaining power and shot into the sky, also charging toward the outside of the Return to Void Great Abyss.
"Zixiao!"
Seeing this, Young Master Lingxiao shouted sternly, "If you still indulge in your longing, you will ruin our great plan!"
Young Master Zixiao was jolted awake from his longing by his Dao-shaking shout. However, the Moon Sovereign's Zixiao Enlightenment Melody had reached a critical point, shaking his Dao heart and making him want to put everything aside and listen again.
Young Master Zixiao gritted his teeth, reached out, and drew his Dao sword. Holding the sword in his left hand and forming a sword seal with his right, he wiped two fingers along the blade.
Chi—
Blood splattered from the Dao sword. The two fingers of his right hand forming the sword seal were cut open, and Dao blood flew along the blade, sending a streak of blood light toward the Chaos Hall!
Seeing this, Young Master Lingxiao charged forward. Behind him, the phantom of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall appeared. His Dao realm of forty heavens manifested as countless divine spirit phantoms, empowering his spear strike. As he thrust his spear, it was as if all the deities from the past sixteen cosmic epochs emerged simultaneously, Dao melodies chanting loudly, making his spear strike overwhelmingly domineering!
The master of the Miluo Palace was not domineering; he was gentle as jade. This was where the master of the Miluo Palace could not compare to Young Master Lingxiao.
Young Master Lingxiao charged forward with supreme dominance. Qin Mu raised his hand and struck out. With a deafening clang, the mouth of the Universe Bell faced Lingxiao. The Five Evolutions unfolded, and the myriad Daos surged forth, evolving into the vast and vicissitudinous history of the universe!
Dong—
Young Master Lingxiao's Dao spear thrust into the bell, breaking through everything in its path, piercing through countless great Daos, countless star rivers, and star domains. Within the bell, the Five Evolutions Daos coiled like dragons, pressing down on the Dao spear. Yet this spear thrust pierced through the Five Evolutions, finally stabbing into the mass of chaotic energy in Qin Mu's palm.
Pfft.
A spear tip emerged from the back of Qin Mu's hand, stained with blood. The Dao spear pressed against his palm, thrusting forward, stabbing into his chest.
Young Master Lingxiao strode forward forcefully, holding the spear and pressing Qin Mu backward across the Chaotic Sea, roaring as he charged, forcing him away from the Chaos Hall.
Meanwhile, the streak of blood light from Young Master Zixiao's Dao sword flew precisely behind Young Master Lingxiao, heading toward the Chaos Hall.
At the same time, Qin Mu moved his mind, closing the hall doors. Just as the doors were about to close, the streak of blood light had already flown through the gap into the hall!
The sounds of zheng zheng zheng came from within, and the zither music in the hall ceased.
Young Master Zixiao's consciousness immediately recovered, a trace of sorrow in his eyes. Suddenly, he rolled up his deceased wife's ancient zither with his sleeve and soared into the air. The large zither flew behind him as he charged together toward the fleeing Boundless Elder and Young Master Wuji!
"Fourth Brother still cannot escape the shadow of his Dao heart!"
Young Master Lingxiao frowned slightly. Although he could not see what had happened inside the Chaos Hall, he could guess from the zither music that Zixiao's streak of sword light had not directly killed the Moon Sovereign. Instead, it had first severed the Moon Sovereign's zither strings, then killed her with a single sword strike.
This was caused by his longing for his deceased wife, making it impossible for him to directly strike at the Moon Sovereign. By severing the strings, the Zixiao Enlightenment Melody could not be played. Without the interference of the zither music, he could then deliver the killing blow.
Young Master Lingxiao understood the changes in Zixiao's Dao heart perfectly.
Suddenly, rings of reincarnation light spun, and Qin Mu's Dao techniques changed drastically. The Six Paths Heavenly Wheel rumbled up from the Chaotic Sea.
Without Second Young Master Wuji's suppression, this Chaotic Sea had become Qin Mu's main battlefield. As the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel rose from the sea, massive Chaos Stones from the Chaotic Sea also rose with Qin Mu's divine ability!
The Six Paths Heavenly Wheel was Qin Mu's thirty-third heaven divine ability. It stood on the sea surface, and the Chaos Stones continuously combined with the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel, rapidly forming layers of reincarnation!
Young Master Lingxiao's heart pounded with alarm. He immediately withdrew his spear and fled. The Dao spear tore through the void, breaking through layers of reincarnation before the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel formed by Chaos Stones was fully complete, charging out of the Return to Void!
Whoosh!
Below, Qin Mu's sleeves shook, and the Chaotic Sea rose toward the sky, higher and higher, following closely behind.
On either side of Young Master Lingxiao, the Great Abyss was collapsing rapidly. Huge Chaos Stones fell from both sides, tumbling downward. Halfway down, they were swept up by the rising Six Paths Heavenly Wheel, becoming part of it!
"He dismantled the Return to Void Great Abyss!"
Young Master Lingxiao was shocked. Without Wuji's suppression, Qin Mu could be said to be the master of this Return to Void Great Abyss, actually tearing it apart!
The Six Paths Heavenly Wheel rose faster and faster, chasing him closely. The Great Abyss's collapse and disintegration also accelerated, continuously strengthening the wheel.
Just as it seemed he could not escape the Return to Void Great Abyss, Young Master Lingxiao suddenly turned in midair and thrust his spear toward the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel!
Within the wheel, Qin Mu looked up. Chaos Stones from the sea flew up, landing in his hand to form a stone sword. Qin Mu raised his sword and thrust upward!
Young Master Lingxiao's spear struck the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel, but Qin Mu's chaotic sword light pierced through his brow.
Young Master Lingxiao grunted, blasted high into the air, and shot out of the Return to Void Great Abyss.
He raised his hand and wiped his brow. A bloody mark was there, but he felt no abnormality.
His figure was still flying backward, getting farther and farther from the Return to Void Great Abyss. He saw the Return to Void Great Abyss hanging in the sky collapse inward and fall.
Soon, accompanied by a deafening roar, a wheel formed by Chaos Stones cut through the collapsing Return to Void. Then came more rumbling sounds as the other five wheels each spun, cutting through the Return to Void, appearing on the sky canvas.
Behind the sky canvas was the Chaotic Sea filling the sky.
Qin Mu stood on the sea surface beneath the reincarnation wheels. To Young Master Lingxiao, he appeared upside down, but there, heaven and earth were self-contained, and Qin Mu felt no discomfort.
Qin Mu did not attack him. Instead, he rolled the Chaotic Sea, using the remaining Dao of the Return to Void Great Abyss to seal the ultimate void of the Ancestral Court.
Young Master Lingxiao turned, his figure transforming into a streak of light, breaking through the void and flying away, searching for the whereabouts of Young Master Zixiao, Boundless Elder, and Young Master Wuji.
"Seventh Brother is a madman. Forcibly destroying the Return to Void and sealing the Ancestral Court—he definitely won't let Wuji and Boundless escape the Ancestral Court. They must still be within the Ancestral Court!"
He thought to himself, "Kill them, and Fourth Brother and I can descend!"
Qin Mu completely sealed the sky of the Ancestral Court before coming to the front of the Chaos Hall.
He stood before the door, hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the Chaos Hall and stepped inside.
Within the Chaos Hall, sixteen chaotic rivers flowed. These were the sixteen tribulations he had to undergo to achieve the Dao of Chaos, rivers he still dared not enter.
On the surface of the third chaotic river, a zither floated quietly.
Qin Mu raised his hand, and the ancient zither flew to him. The strings were completely severed, and there was a bloody sword mark on it.
Qin Mu looked toward the third chaotic river. There lay the fourteenth cosmic epoch.
The Moon Sovereign must have retreated to the third chaotic river when Young Master Zixiao's sword light caught up, severing the ancient zither and "killing" her.
"In the future, when I return to the past, I will return to the moment when Young Master Zixiao struck with his sword and save you."
Qin Mu put away the ancient zither, walked out of the Chaos Hall, and with his robes fluttering, left the Chaotic Sea.
"Moon, for you, it should only be a moment after you fell into the river before you can meet me. But for me, I don't know how long I'll have to wait. The time you wait is very short, but the time I wait is very long."
A smile appeared on Qin Mu's face, and his gaze grew deeper and more profound. "But still, you and I can be reunited!"
