In the Universe World

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen walked along the riverbank. They followed the river down. In the distance, the Divine Sky-connecting Tree’s silhouette towered on the horizon. The scene was divine yet beautiful.

“That’s my story with Chi Yao. At that time, she was only around 15 years old and was the most naïve and romantic. Who would’ve thought that she could be so heartless?”

Zhang Ruochen revealed to Huang Yanchen everything about his past with Chi Yao.

Huang Yanchen was clear that since Zhang Ruochen was willing to say these things, it meant she was the closest person to him. He’d opened the last line of defense in his heart, baring himself to her completely.

You could only do this if you truly loved someone, trusted someone, and completely treated her as the partner of your life.

“So, the person you loved was always Chi Yao,” Huang Yanchen said. “But she killed you, so now, you hate her the most as well? Or you also doubt why she suddenly killed you when you two were clearly in love?”

Zhang Ruochen nodded. “I shouldn’t have told you this.”

Huang Yanchen shook her head. “You should’ve told me sooner. Otherwise, how would I have known you have such deep pain buried inside you? Humans aren’t pieces of wood. Everyone has the most fragile part in their heart. I know that I can’t compare to Empress Chi Yao, but I’m willing to try my best to support that fragile part of yours. Even if you only see me as Chi Yao’s shadow.”

Zhang Ruochen stopped walking. He held Huang Yanchen’s hand and gazed at the clouds and smoke above the water. “Before, I indeed saw bits of Chi Yao on you. But we’ve gone through so much and become true husband and wife. Now, you are Huang Yanchen to me. You are my wife. You aren’t anyone’s shadow and no one can replace you.”

A sweet smile appeared in Huang Yanchen’s eyes. “In that case, don’t think about these unhappy things anymore. Practice swordsmans.h.i.+p with me.”

Whoos.h.!.+

Drops of silver flew out of her forehead, condensing into the Chaotic Universe Sword.

Then, like a beautiful b.u.t.terfly, she flew to the center of the river. Standing on the water, she waved her sword and instantly produced nine identical figures.

“Nine Swords of Yin.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled. He took out the Abyss Ancient Sword and also flew to the river. He split himself into nine and displayed the Nine Swords of Yang.

Eighteen figures in total stood in different directions, forming a circle. Their sword intents interwove, like a yin yang becoming one.

The sword formation that they were practicing was the strongest two-person formation in Kunlun’s Field: Yin Yang Sword Formation.

There were quite a lot of people who cultivated the Yin Yang Sword Formation, but very few could fully express its power.

This was because the closer the two people performing the formation were and the higher their attainments in the Sword Way, the stronger the formation. They could even manipulate the rules of the world to become their own power and utilize combat abilities that far surpa.s.sed their own cultivations.

Only by having extreme feelings could one have extreme sword skills.

“All the Spiritual Qi within thousands of miles has been pulled over to the sword formation. Their Yin Yang Sword Formation can actually unleash such strong might.”

Ling Feiyu stood below the Divine Sky-connecting Tree and looked into the distance. She gazed with some envy at Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen who were practicing.

After a while, Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen finally stopped.

Zhang Ruochen discovered Ling Feiyu standing under the Divine Sky-connecting Tree. His heart moved. He hurried over with Huang Yanchen.

Ling Feiyu had long looked away. With her hands behind her back, she stared at the hovering Sun-Moon Crystal Coffin. “I’m surprised to see an ancient saint weapon from my sect in the Universe World.”

Zhang Ruochen walked over. “I was going to ask you, who is buried in that coffin?”

Ling Feiyu shook her head lightly. “It was too long ago. Who knows? You might only be able to find clues by looking at related books of the middle ages. But I’m sure the woman inside has a shocking ident.i.ty. She might be a sect leader from history, or even…”

Here, Ling Feiyu paused.

Zhang Ruochen’s expression flickered. “Or what?” he asked.

“The Moon G.o.ddess.”

When Ling Feiyu said these words, her eyes were filled with respect and reverence. She continued, “The Moon-Wors.h.i.+p Demonic Sect is called that because we wors.h.i.+p the Moon G.o.ddess. The Moon G.o.ddess is immortal and beautiful. The Moon-Wors.h.i.+p Demonic Sect wasn’t established by the Moon G.o.ddess, but according to records, the sect founder became a G.o.d with teachings by the Moon G.o.ddess.”

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t keep calm. He thought back to the Sun-Moon Crystal Coffin’s frightening power. The woman inside couldn’t be the legendary Moon G.o.ddess, right?

Ling Feiyu chuckled. “You don’t actually think she’s the Moon G.o.ddess, right? To be honest, there’s barely any possibility.”

“Why?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“The Moon G.o.ddess doesn’t belong to our world,” Ling Feiyu said. “She’s not a G.o.d of Kunlun’s Field. She lives on the moon.

“According to legends, the moon that we see on Kunlun’s Field is a world as large as ours. It’s called the Guanghan Field. However, it’s extremely far from Kunlun’s Field. It’s deep within the universe. A Saint can use his entire life without reaching it. That’s why it looks so small.

“So, the Moon G.o.ddess is from Guanghan Field. She once traveled the universe and came to Kunlun’s Field, but left long ago.”

The things that Ling Feiyu was talking about were secret myths of the Moon-Wors.h.i.+p Demonic Sect. The outside world didn’t know about it.

Of course, since they were myths, they couldn’t be verified. The Moon G.o.ddess and Guanghan Field could be things that the ancient people had made up.

“Since she’s absorbing the Life Qi of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree,” Ling Feiyu said, “it means that she hasn’t truly died. She may awaken one day. By then, you’ll know her ident.i.ty.”

“I hope that day really comes,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Ling Feiyu stared at Huang Yanchen, who was standing with Zhang Ruochen, and fell silent. After a pause, she said, “Send me out. I should leave!”

“The imperial court has already locked down the entire city,” Zhang Ruochen said. “They activated the Truth Mirror and are looking for us everywhere. Stay here for a while. You can leave after things die down.”

“The Central Emperor City is the city with the most humans,” Ling Feiyu said. “There are millions of cultivators going in and out every day. How long can the imperial court lock it for? They’ll remove the lock tomorrow morning.”

Zhang Ruochen knew why Ling Feiyu wanted to leave so quickly, so he didn’t try persuading her anymore.

The things that they’d experienced in the Seven Lives Seven Deaths Map were only destiny.

However, there were too many people who had destiny but no fate. They weren’t the only ones. They may have had feelings but had to stop due to morals. This was the best ending.

Zhang Ruochen clutched Huang Yanchen’s hand even tighter. He’d already decided not to meld the memories of the seventh life. He would leave it sealed in his mind forever and never touch it.

The next day, the Central Emperor City’s lock was indeed removed. Zhang Ruochen took Ling Feiyu out of the Universe World and watched her leave.

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Huang Yanchen. “Let’s leave the Central Emperor City as well!”

“Today is New Year’s Eve,” Huang Yanchen said. “How about we leave after New Year?”

New Year’s Eve was a day of reunions and the end of the year.

Zhang Ruochen thought of his mother. It might not be suitable to venture out on this special day. He should accompany his family and eat the New Year’s Eve dinner.

“That’s a good suggestion,” he said. “Today, let’s have Qing Mo cook us a feast. We’ll invite Mother and your parents. The family should celebrate New Year’s once.”

Zhang Ruochen’s true body couldn’t enter the Universe World, so he could only bring them to the Yao Pool.

Concubine Lin, Qianshui Commandery Prince, Half-Saint Liuli, Thirteenth Princess, Kong Xuan, Qing Mo, Guoguo, the Demon Ape, Princess White Li, and s.h.i.+ Ren were all brought out by Zhang Ruochen.

To him, they were all his family. It was an extremely happy thing to get together and celebrate the New Year together.

Qing Mo started getting busy with preparing food. Guoguo and the Demon Ape cleared the weeds in the Yao Pool. The others worked on decorating this abandoned manor.

When night fell, the Yao Pool wasn’t dilapidated anymore. It was surrounded by lights and filled with festivity.

Of course, there were also two emperor formations. The outside world couldn’t see the amazing changes inside.

Qing Mo’s New Year’s Dinner naturally wouldn’t disappoint. It was so delicious that they even wished they could swallow their tongues. Guoguo and the Demon Ape ate the most. They ate as if people would steal their food, and even broke a few plates.

They ruined the festivity and gave everyone headaches. In the end, Princess White Li punished them. Finally, the two beasts sat obediently in their seats and didn’t fight for the food anymore.

After dinner, Zhang Ruochen brought everyone back into the Universe World. Only he and Huang Yanchen remained in the manor.

The two sat at the top of a pavilion and gazed at the lights of Central Emperor City. They leaned against each other, feeling each other’s warmth. It was as if time had stopped.

Zhang Ruochen embraced Huang Yanchen’s slender frame. “I haven’t felt so happy in a long time,” he said gently. “Why do I work so hard to cultivate? It’s not to become some G.o.d or anything. Actually, being able to be with my family and lover is enough.”

“That is harder than becoming a G.o.d,” Huang Yanchen said. “The Immortal Vampires, netherworld, and Death Race can make chaos erupt in Kunlun’s Field at any time, killing us all.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled. “As long as I’m here, I’ll never let you get a scratch. I’ll work even harder on cultivating and make myself stronger. You just have to be my wife without worries.”

Hearing this, Huang Yanchen’s red lips curved slightly. She smiled with extreme joy and initiated a kiss.

A moment later, Zhang Ruochen carried Huang Yanchen and flew down from the rooftop. They entered a room in the manor. He laid Huang Yanchen down on the bed and they entangled.

Outside, it started snowing again.

But inside, it was like spring. A man and woman’s heavy breathing wove into a moving melody.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Inside the imperial city, a bright bell resounded.

The new year was here!

Zhang Ruochen gradually woke up. His head hurt badly. He used a lot of energy to get out of bed. His mind was muddled.

He was the only one in the room. Huang Yanchen had disappeared long ago.

“What happened?”

Zhang Ruochen ma.s.saged his temple and thought back hard. “Last night was New Year’s Eve. Everyone ate dinner together. Then Yanchen and I…”

Suddenly, he remembered everything. Eyes widening, he hurriedly looked at the bed. There were drops of blood on the snow-white bedsheets.

It was the blood of a woman losing her virginity.

“How is this possible?”

Zhang Ruochen clenched his teeth. Gripping his fists, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he yelled, “Who are you?”

Boom!

His sound waves cracked the entire room, turning it into dust.

The entire manor was silent. No one replied.

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen had become husband and wife long ago. How could she bleed again?
