Perhaps because he had visited several mission worlds, Xu Nian found cultivating the Dao of Time exceptionally easy.
In just one month, she successfully rebuilt her Dao heart and her cultivation level returned to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Even Qingyu Zhenjun was taken aback when she saw Xu Nian. She was shocked that Xu Nian had rebuilt his Dao in such a short time.
At the same time, it also shocked Xu Nian's feelings for Qing Xuan.
Seeing that the two truly loved each other, she completely let go of her reservations.
On the day of the couple's Daoist initiation ceremony, the Seeking Immortality Sect extended invitations to powerful figures from the cultivation world to witness the event.
With everyone in the Seeking Immortality Sect as witnesses, Qingxuan and Xu Nian officially became Daoist partners, a union witnessed by heaven and earth.
Xu Nian finally met the original female lead of the story, Qingxi Zhenjun, who is now her grandmaster.
She was held in the arms of a tall, burly man, and she didn't know what he said to her, but it made her face flush red.
She glared at the man with her watery eyes, then turned her head and saw Xu Nian looking at her. She smiled gently at her.
She's a very gentle person!
This was Qingxi Zhenjun's first impression of Xu Nian.
“Niannian, come with me to see my master. Don’t be shy, he’s very easygoing,” Qingxuan said, holding Xu Nian’s hand.
“Okay.” Xu Nian already knew that the person who was embracing Qingxi Zhenjun was Qingxuan’s master, Miaokong Zhenjun, who had forcibly taken his disciple.
Qingxuan: "Disciple Qingxuan greets Master and Junior Sister!"
Xu Nian: "Grand-disciple Xu Nian greets Grandmaster and Grandmaster!"
The inconsistency in how the two addressed each other caused Master Miaokong's lips to twitch.
The generational hierarchy is really messed up; this person is both a grand-disciple and a daughter-in-law of a disciple.
And that brat Qingxuan, still calling Qingxi "Junior Sister," he really needs to be taught a lesson.
"Qingxuan, Qingxi is your master's wife now, why are you calling her 'little junior sister'!" Miaokong Zhenjun said unhappily.
"Qingxuan greets Master and Mistress!" Qingxuan could only speak again.
This time, True Lord Miaokong was satisfied. With a smile, he presented a jade box to Xu Nian and said, "My dear disciple, this is a gift I'm giving you both as a token of our vows. I wish you both a long and happy life together!"
"Thank you for the gift, Ancestral Master and Ancestral Master's Wife." Xu Nian accepted the jade box and opened it at the prompting of True Monarch Miaokong.
Inside the jade box lay two pink vermilion fruits, with a row of jade folding cloths placed below them.
Upon seeing the item, Qingxuan quickly closed the jade box. "Niannian, I'll keep this for now."
Xu Nian didn't understand, but she still nodded obediently. Then she saw Miao Kong Zhenjun smiling ambiguously at Qing Xuan.
"Master, be mindful of the occasion," Qingxuan reminded him helplessly.
"Hmph! Let's see who dares!" True Monarch Miaokong glanced over and, sure enough, no one dared to look in their direction. The showdown between Mahayana cultivators wasn't going to be that interesting.
Qingxi tugged at Miaokong Zhenjun's sleeve, and he laughed and said, "Please forgive me, everyone. The ceremony will continue."
Qingyu Zhenjun looked at Xu Nian with a smile on her face, but when she saw Qingxuan, the disdain on her face almost materialized.
After giving his congratulatory gift, Qingyu Zhenjun also said to Xu Nian, "Nian'er, Qingyu Peak will always be your home. If Qingxuan makes you unhappy, you can come to your master anytime, and your master will stand up for you."
"Thank you, Master!" Xu Nian was deeply moved to be protected so openly and honestly.
"Senior sister, don't worry, that day will never come." Qingxuan said helplessly. Did he look like that kind of person?
He cherishes Xu Nian so much, how could he possibly make her sad?
"Hmph! I just want to tell you that Nian'er has me backing her up." Qingyu Zhenjun sneered. She couldn't stand this junior brother who had stolen her disciple.
"Okay, senior sister, junior brother remembers." Qingxuan didn't mind Qingyu Zhenjun's cold words. Anyway, Xu Nian was already with him, so it didn't matter if his senior sister was angry with him.
The ceremony for the Daoist couple was a grand affair, and Xu Nian received so many congratulatory gifts that her hands were sore from holding them all.
...
As night fell, Xu Nian followed Qingxuan to Qingxuan Peak.
The entire Qingxuan Peak was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the residence that Qingxuan prepared for the two of them was adorned with bright red "double happiness" characters, just like a wedding in ordinary times.
He took out the peach blossom wine, poured it, and he and Xu Nian each took a cup.
The two exchanged a smile and finished their drinks.
Qingxuan took out the jade box given to him by Miaokong Zhenjun and stuffed a pink vermilion fruit into Xu Nian's hand. "Niannian, this is the Heart-to-Heart Fruit. Legend has it that couples who eat this fruit will be together for all eternity."
"So amazing?" Xu Nian looked at the fruit in her hand. Apart from thinking it was pretty, she didn't see anything special about it!
"Niannian, would you like to eat with me?" Under Qingxuan's expectant gaze, Xu Nian nodded in agreement.
The fruit melts into juice upon entering the mouth and flows down the throat into the stomach.
"Um, Niannian, we need to cultivate together after eating this Heart-to-Heart Fruit for it to be effective." Qingxuan wanted to pretend he was innocent, but his eyes betrayed him.
"Qingxuan, how long will you be cultivating this time?" Xu Nian asked him, amused.
"I estimate, about a month!" Qingxuan shook the jade box, letting Xu Nian see the jade fold inside.
"What is this?" Xu Nian took out the jade folding tool to examine it.
A moment later, she looked at Qingxuan, her face flushed crimson. "You knew all along what was in there?"
“My master is a shady character, so I can guess what he gave me.” Qingxuan put the jade box aside and took out the jade folding ornament inside to examine it closely.
“Niannian, no wonder you weren’t very willing to cultivate with me. It turns out I hadn’t found the trick,” Qingxuan said in annoyance.
"Shut up, if you want to cultivate together, hurry up." Xu Nian didn't know what Qingxuan felt after eating that Vermilion Fruit, but she felt like she couldn't hold on any longer.
"Niannian, don't rush, let me finish reading these jade documents." Qingxuan remained calm, but Xu Nian was not.
She snatched the jade folding cloth, grabbed Qingxuan's bright red collar, forcing him to look up, and then lowered her head to kiss him.
"Qingxuan, we can look at these jade tablets slowly and learn from them gradually. There's no need to rush." Xu Nian's face was flushed, and her eyes were shy yet captivating.
“Alright, let’s begin our dual cultivation now.” Qingxuan decided not to tease Xu Nian any further and led her into the hot spring on Qingxuan Peak.
He swallowed the woman's soft cry, and Qingxuan's eyes began to darken inch by inch.
The effects of the Heart-to-Heart Fruit took hold, and the two entered a state of complete absorption.
When Qingxuan's primordial spirit entered Xu Nian's sea of consciousness and entangled the delicate primordial spirit, wisps of pink mist wrapped around their primordial spirits.
Cultivation transcends time. Qingxuan and Xu Nian left their footprints everywhere on Qingxuan Peak, like a mark that signifies that he belongs to her and she belongs to him.
"Qingxuan, that's enough, let me go!" Xu Nian burst into tears. With spiritual energy replenishing her, being tireless can sometimes be terrifying.
"Nian Nian, it's not enough, it's never enough." Qing Xuan chuckled softly, forcefully and domineeringly grasping Xu Nian's ten fingers, their fingers intertwined, clinging tightly to each other.
