Chapter 1966: Chapter 2063: Beneath the Lovesick Tree (Grand Finale)
It has been three hundred years since the catastrophe caused by the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu.
The earth is gradually recovering, and the Nine Countries Seven Seas and the Demon Beast Clan are all licking their wounds.
Not many people know exactly what happened in that catastrophe, as too many people perished, nearly all living beings on earth were extinguished.
However, one way or another, this great calamity has passed, and everything seems to be heading in a positive direction.
Ancient Demon Ridge, as the only place to survive the calamity, has now become a pilgrimage site for the Nine Countries Seven Seas.
And now, at the Ancient Demon Ridge, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven has turned into a rock, naturally, a new Demon Saint has emerged to take charge.
This new Demon Saint is none other than Jin Zhulong, who awakened from the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Originally, Jin Zhulong didn’t want to become a Demon Saint, but now that the Demon Beast Clan is without a leader, he is the most suitable to lead them.
With no other choice, Jin Zhulong had to temporarily preside over the Ancient Demon Ridge.
At this moment, standing before the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree at the Ancient Demon Ridge, Jin Zhulong looked at the stone formed from the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and sighed softly.
"Perhaps when you, this monkey, wake up again, it will be millions of years later." Jin Zhulong murmured.
Inadvertently, Jin Zhulong recalled Fang Lin; over these centuries, he and the Fang Qingye couple have searched everywhere for Fang Lin, covering every corner of the world, but to no avail.
Although Jin Zhulong and the Fang Qingye couple don’t want to think of the worst outcomes, Fang Lin’s disappearance indeed kept their hearts uneasy.
The blood-red ancient sword flew forward, floating in front of Jin Zhulong, and the girl in red drifted out from the ancient sword.
Looking at the girl in red, Jin Zhulong felt a little comforted; at least his most cherished sister had always been by his side, never leaving.

Purple Mist Sect in Qian Country.
The Purple Mist Sect has been rebuilt and is now larger than the former Purple Mist Sect. The Sect Master is no longer Han Luoyun but his eldest daughter, Han Yinyue.
At the highest peak of the Purple Mist Sect, Purple Mist Peak, stands a statue of a young man. Every new disciple joining the Purple Mist Sect must pay homage to this statue.
"That’s the strong person who emerged from our Purple Mist Sect!"
Every elder of the Purple Mist Sect speaks with such pride when they see this statue.
That day, Xu Shangao, the head of the Purple Mist Pill Sect, came before this statue and gazed at it silently for a long time.
Xu Shangao is not the same person he was back then; now, he presides over the Pill Sect and is a highly respected figure in the Purple Mist Sect.
And his success today has a lot to do with this statue.
"Fang, I wonder where you are now?" Xu Shangao sighed deeply, turned around, and left.
At the top of Purple Mist Peak, Han Yinyue stood alone, her beautiful eyes gazing nostalgically at the statue.
"Is there a day in this lifetime that you and I will meet again?" Han Yinyue murmured to herself.
At the gate of the Purple Mist Sect, there has always been a strange person over the years.
This strange person’s identity is unknown, but he wears a black iron mask, always sitting on a big rock outside the gate, saying nothing and doing nothing; however, when outsiders attack the Purple Mist Sect, he comes forward to help.
Within the entire Purple Mist Sect, very few know the identity of this person, and all of them tactfully keep it a secret, neither publicly revealing his identity nor interfering with his constant presence outside the gate, choosing to turn a blind eye.
The black iron mask man glanced back at the gate of the Purple Mist Sect, then continued to sit there quietly like a withered tree.
"I, Gu Hanshan, will repay my sins with a lifetime of guarding this mountain."

Above the Nine Countries, the alchemy families have completely disappeared, and the Pill Alliance no longer exists.
There is only one alchemy power --- Pill Saint Palace!!
This is the newly established Pill Saint Palace, built on the foundation of the former Pill Alliance with significant reforms.
And all this was done by Qi Liansheng.
Today’s Pill Saint Palace, led by Qi Liansheng, is more prosperous than the former Pill Alliance, especially with the absence of the corrupt alchemy families, making the Alchemy Tao World clear and bright.
The current Pill Saint Palace stands at the junction of the Ten Thousand Mountains and the Extreme North Icefield, as always, still a floating palace.
At this moment, Qi Liansheng stood in the grand palace, looking at the many pill refiners below, his expression calm, yet dignified.
However, Qi Liansheng himself is not the Palace Master of the Pill Saint Palace, only bearing the identity of the Great Elder, leaving the Palace Master position vacant.
According to Qi Liansheng’s plan, the position of Palace Master is reserved for Fang Lin; until Fang Lin appears, it will remain his, awaiting the day he returns.
Qi Liansheng himself doesn’t know when Fang Lin will return, or if he ever will.

Above the Seven Seas, Fang Qingye and Bai Qingxue stand side by side, endlessly searching for Fang Lin, but without any progress whatsoever.
"Lin’er must still be alive, I have this feeling." Bai Qingxue said earnestly to Fang Qingye.
Fang Qingye nodded, also believing Fang Lin is alive, as in his view, Fang Lin could become a true transcendent to defeat the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu, and having transcended, naturally, he wouldn’t die easily.
"If Lin’er is not dead, he must be found." Fang Qingye said.
Bai Qingxue agreed with a hum, but a wry smile appeared on her face: "But Dugu Nian, that girl, indeed has had it rough all these years; compared to us back then, she and Lin’er have gone through so much hardship."
Fang Qingye deeply agreed, sighing: "Indeed, it’s been hard for her, and our Fang Family owes her."

Xuan Country, Heavenly Fragrance Valley.
In Heavenly Fragrance Valley, there stands a Lovesick Tree, a tree known far and wide. Legend has it that if a pair of lovers sincerely make a wish under the Lovesick Tree, they can see the future.
For hundreds of years, a solitary figure has always been waiting silently under the Lovesick Tree, and it is Dugu Nian.
All these years, Dugu Nian has stayed under the Lovesick Tree, reminiscing about every moment with Fang Lin, from acquaintance to cherishing each other, from mutual dislike to life and death companionship, too many things happened, and now these memories are her greatest support.
The experiences between her and Fang Lin have indeed been numerous, leaving an indelible mark on each other’s hearts that time and circumstances cannot erase.
With Fang Lin’s whereabouts unknown, Dugu Nian chose to wait silently, even if it takes thousands or millions of years, she would wait.
That day, a gentle and quiet young man arrived outside the Heavenly Fragrance Valley, walking in with curiosity and caution, unknowingly making his way to the Lovesick Tree.
Dugu Nian looked at the approaching young man, tears falling silently, her body slightly trembling.
The young man’s face was incredibly familiar to Dugu Nian, it was the face she thought about day and night.
The young man also noticed Dugu Nian and was immediately astounded by the sight of such a beautiful girl shedding tears, making him somewhat flustered.
"My apologies, my lady, for intruding abruptly. Please forgive my intrusion." The young man said, flustered.
Dugu Nian shifted her gaze away, saying nothing.
"To be honest, my lady, I’ve forgotten many things, but there’s always a voice in my heart guiding me here. I just thought, I might as well come and see." said the young man, feeling a bit lost.
"Do you remember who you are?" Dugu Nian asked softly.
"No, my lady, I cannot remember." The young man was also at a loss: "But as soon as I got here, everything felt so familiar."
"It’s OK." Dugu Nian smiled gently: "I know who you are, you’re Fang Lin...my incorrigible scoundrel!"

The story of Fang Lin comes to a close here. Let me say a few words. I’m quite satisfied with the overall structure of this book. There may be some flaws, but after all, my ability is limited. Perhaps it could have ended a bit darker, but I chose to have a reunion under the Lovesick Tree, hoping you enjoy it. As for what became of the protagonist, you might have guessed it before it ended. The future under the Lovesick Tree is yet to be seen.
Thank you to every reader who has supported this book. The story has come to an end. I might take some time for treatment as I am currently dealing with a rather troublesome illness, so the new book might be a bit delayed. Of course, the content of the new book will still be within the Alchemy Tao, just as Pill Sovereign was.
Thank you to every reader who has supported this book. This Chapter of the story comes to an end. Maybe I’ll continue it someday.
