1930 Chasing Memories (1/2)
In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, after the deity-level battles in the Qin Clan, things actually regained their previous calmness. The various peak powers fell silent, no longer finding trouble with Qin Wentian for the Heaven Vault.
That battle has caused the Qin Clan's foundation to be seriously injured. Things became extremely quiet. Right now, the Qin Clan was already in the midst of reconstruction, rebuilding Qin City. However, the Qin Clan's prestige could no longer be the same as the past.
In the Heaven Vault, within the starry space, many space castles appeared.
Right now, the number of people cultivating in the Heaven Vault was increasing in number. Qin Wentian's people, the Luoshen Clan's people, Demon God Mountain's experts, the Qiankun Sect, Nine Heavens Mystical Palace, etc. All these powers belonged to their respective factions. They naturally also had their own foothold inside the Heaven Vault.
Hence, as time passed, numerous space castles appeared in the Heaven Vault. The exterior was extremely beautiful, they were like heavenly divine halls that dotted the boundless starry space. These castles became the residences of the various powers cultivating in the Heaven Vault.
Qin Wentian naturally had a castle to himself too. The castle he resided in was at the center of the starry space. It was extremely large and many smaller castles could be seen in its surroundings. These castles belonged to the experts of various factions he brought here. For example, the Battle Saint Tribe, Southern Phoenix Clan, Evergreen Immortal Empire, Darknorth Immortal Empire, Myriad Devil Islands, etc… Each power had their own castle.
The castle Qin Wentian resided in was very similar to the Heaven Empyrean Palace. Its interior was extremely beautiful and he specifically arranged it to be the same like in Heaven Empyrean Palace. Even if they had to take this place as their home for now, by doing so, his wives would feel more used to it.
At this moment, in the castle Qin Wentian was in, on the cultivation platform that was located in the nine heavenly layers, the power of the constellations cascaded down on everyone on the cultivation platform.
Currently, Qing`er, Beiming Youhuang, Jun Mengchen, the Southern Phoenix Matriarch and a few others were present. They sat there cross-legged, quietly contemplating insights of their own constellations.
”The dao of a heavenly deity is very simple. Your own astral souls contains the dao. You all have set foot upon your respective constellations before and should understand that constellations don't only contain a single type of energy. Each different constellation contains a different heavenly dao. This indicates that the astral energy we absorb after we condensed an astral soul, is actually the simplest form of energy. What you all need to do now, is to transform your astral soul into your dao.”
Qin Wentian sat before everyone as he slowly spoke, giving a dao lecture. Right now, his cultivation base was extremely profound. Occasionally, he would be giving dao lectures to the people cultivating in the starry space of the nine heavenly layers, allowing others to gain an understanding into the dao while they are comprehending the constellations.
”The heavenly dao exceeds all your prior knowledge. Hence, your understanding not only has to include your previous comprehensions, you have to disregard the limit you imposed on the dao. Don't be controlled by the laws you are already proficient in, limiting yourself in scope. In the past, what we know is that the heavenly dao is the purest essence of any law, establishing into the dao. This is a mistake. The heavenly dao is a kind of comprehension that includes your laws but it is an existence higher than them.”
Qin Wentian's voice was calm, seemingly containing a magical power. It penetrated through the air, entering the ears of everyone, branding the information into their minds. Everyone had different insights when they heard the dao lecture. In their minds, the teachings by the other heavenly deities also sounded similar in some aspects, yet there were some differences. They needed to experience those differences themselves and try to make sense of it.
After a long time, everyone gradually sank into a state of comprehension. Yet Mo Qingcheng actually stealthily opened her eyes and winked at Qin Wentian. After hundreds of years, under Qin Wentian's assistance, she finally managed to step into the world overlord realm. However, her strength was still extremely far compared to the other world overlords. It was clearly much more difficult for her to comprehend what a heavenly dao is right now.
Quietly standing up, Mo Qingcheng walked to Qin Wentian's side. The two of them exchanged a glance before leaving here together.
”Qingcheng, how do you feel?” After returning to Qin Wentian's resting chambers in his courtyard, Qin Wentian smiled at her.
”Cultivation is really very difficult.” Mo Qingcheng hugged Qin Wentian's arm. She inclined her head slightly, staring at Qin Wentian's face. Her eyes were filled with tenderness, ”I wonder how long do I need before I can reach your level.”
”You don't need to feel any pressure. With me here, everything will be fine.” Qin Wentian gently spoke.
Mo Qingcheng smiled, ”It's because the pressure on you is too great, you want to bear everything on your own and we have no way to share the burden with you. As your wife, did I fail to make the mark?”
”Yup, you failed badly. Do you think you should compensate me well then?” Qin Wentian teased, casting a naughty glance at Mo Qingcheng, causing her to freeze. She then glared at Qin Wentian but currents of warmth flowed in her heart.
She inclined her head and stared at the stars here. ”The starry space is so beautiful. Do you think that our past exists among the countless constellations in the boundless starry space?”
”Maybe.” Qin Wentian spoke.
”It has been so many years. Wentian, we have known each other since such a long time ago but I feel as though it was only yesterday that I met you.” Mo Qingcheng's gaze was incomparably gentle. Under the astral light from the constellations, she looked extremely beautiful.
Her eyes also contained the hint of a warm smile as she thought back to the memories they had.
Qin Wentian sat down and pulled her into his embrace. ”Thinking of the past again? Are you not happy now?”
”I'm happy. Anyway, all our memories are beautiful.” Mo Qingcheng replied. ”However compared to now, I still like the past more. Although there were many troubles before we could get together, now that I think back to it, those memories are really beautiful. The you back then was really a very silly fellow.”
”Silly?” Qin Wentian was speechless. The past to them can be described as mulberry fields turning into vast seas. It was really too long ago.
”Are you not silly? Do you still remember the Pill Emperor Hall? How you dragged that gigantic demon sword all the way over there?” Mo Qingcheng smiled. The past was very sweet, sometimes, she felt that she should thank those with malicious intentions towards her. If they didn't exist, how could her memories of the past be so beautiful when Qin Wentian saved her.
”You can still smile?” Qin Wentian rolled his eyes. This little lass must have forgotten how much despair he felt back then.
”Hehe.” Mo Qingcheng's smile grew increasingly radiant. She wrapped her hands around Qin Wentian's neck and simply stared at him in a daze. She then softly spoke, ”Dumbo…”
Staring at the beauty in front of him, Qin Wentian lowered his head and leaned it for a kiss. This caused Mo Qingcheng's smile to grow even more radiant as her gaze turned even more gentle.
