Beyond the Timescape

The sun and moon were in the sky simultaneously, reflecting each other’s brilliance, and creating a unified glow of dazzling light. It shone down on the lands of this space-time, almost like wedding garments gifted by heaven itself.

As countless cultivators looked on... two people approached each other step by step. A man and woman, each clad in wedding garments, got closer and closer to each other, one coming from the east, the other from the west.

The woman wore a dazzling wedding dress that looked like living flame. Her smile was a touch bashful, but her eyes contained a longing for the future. As she advanced, her beautiful face seemed to fill with a rosy glow, whether because of the rising sun or her own emotions, it was hard to say.

And yet... close observers would be able to tell that her expression was forced, and her smile was empty. In fact, her eyes seemed as cold as ice. Yet she seemed to be in full anticipation of the wedding. There was no conflict between the iciness and the anticipation. After all, she was not really Spirit Phoenix. The emotions she felt toward Young Lord Aurora were not natural. The anticipation came because, even though history said that the wedding ceremony would never be completed, it would still create karmic connections![1]

In other words, the fact that she had reached this point meant that she had already largely accomplished her goal. All she had to do was continue onward, and it wouldn’t really matter what happened historically speaking. She sped up a bit as she walked.

Meanwhile, the man wore a swirling gown with nine dragons on it. The golden crown on his head reflected the light of the sun, and its jewels glittered. And yet, as he approached his dazzling wife, his heart pounded. The reason was because of his understanding of what happened at this linchpin in history.

Yuanshan Su is playing the part of Spirit Phoenix. I’m acting as Mi Ming. Historically speaking, this is their wedding. And historically speaking, the wedding actually didn’t work out... They never finished the ceremony of kowtowing. Her name... was never added to the marriage contract.

Li Mengtu had explained to Xu Qing what happened in real history, and Zhou Zhengwei had confirmed it so that Xu Qing didn’t misunderstand what was to play out.

The linchpin was the first kowtow! When they kowtowed to heaven and earth, there was a violent reaction. The Immortal Lord rebelled, the Immortal Paragon stepped in, and everyone in the immortal palace... crumbled into ashes, dead.

It’s going to happen after enough time passes for an incense stick to burn.

Xu Qing’s heart pounded harder and harder. It wouldn’t be long before the biggest tempest of all would strike this historical space-time.
