Chapter 29
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
The sky was a pale blue, and the mountains were shrouded in a thin layer of mist, their outlines appearing and disappearing, exuding a tranquil beauty. At the foot of the mountains, dewdrops clung to the blades of grass, glistening and translucent in the dim light.
In the midst of tranquility and peace, a strange black shadow suddenly appeared.
The dark shadow suddenly appeared in mid-air, motionless, like a giant eye staring at the world.
Danxi sat up, gazing intently at her sleeping lover. Her beautiful face was framed by tightly closed eyes, the corners of which were slightly red. Her long eyelashes trembled gently with her breath, like feathers brushing against his heart.
I long to stay by her side forever, to watch the sun and moon rise and fall with her, and to walk with her through the changing seasons.
It turns out that they had known each other for fifty years, and that wisp of wood spirit energy was left behind at that time.
Only now did he understand that the restriction on his dantian didn't dissipate over time. Rather, it was related to his bond with this world; the deeper the bond, the weaker the restriction. Because of Liu Ya, he had developed a strong bond with this world. After dual cultivation, the restriction sealing his dantian completely disappeared.
However, with the disappearance of the restrictions, the spacetime consciousness of this space has also recognized itself.
He was a lost soul who had wandered into a fragment of time and space, and did not originally belong here.
Outside this makeshift barrier, the shadowy figure that had silently arrived had already locked onto him; it was the spatial and temporal consciousness of this place.
"Otherworldly being, you must leave immediately. After you leave, everything you leave behind, as well as all memories of you, will disappear," the black mist said, its voice directly entering his mind.
His eyes were filled with reluctance and worry. He couldn't imagine what would happen to Liu Ya after he left. Thinking back to fifty years later, she had become a Gu cultivator, and he wondered what changes she had experienced, and what kind of encounters she had in the Nine Nether Sect.
As her spiritual power and memories are restored, she must leave this world and cannot stay in this time and space to protect her beloved.
That restriction was the mark of the power of chaos, a mockery and deception of the power of chaos itself. He had thought that the power of chaos was merely a primitive and pure energy in the universe, devoid of knowledge, feeling, right, wrong, good, or evil. But it turned out to be a monster that toyed with people's hearts. It had created an unbreakable bond between him and this world, yet it had also ruthlessly driven him away.
Outside the barrier, the dark shadow was already impatient, issuing a warning buzzing sound directly in Dan Xi's mind. It was as if it would burst in and devour him the next second if he didn't leave.
Danxi slowly stepped out of the barrier he had set up. The black energy immediately spread out around him, turning into black mist that enveloped him...
As she slept, Jiang Liuya's eyelashes fluttered, and she gently turned over, causing the clothes covering her body to slip slightly. She frowned uneasyly.
In the distant Eastern Continent, on the Spirit Essence Peak of the Heavenly Profound Sect, Daoist Danxi had just finished his long seclusion and successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. Light swirled around him, his aura restrained yet exuding majesty. In the tranquil cave, a secret message suddenly shattered the silence. It was a short message from his master, Daoist Yuanxu, a thousand miles away, stating that traces of chaotic power had been discovered and urging him to proceed to the Western Continent as soon as possible.
Daoist Danxi had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and comprehended some of the mysteries of the laws of space. His eyes instantly sharpened, and with a slight raise of his hand, he slashed forward like a sword, instantly tearing the space in front of him apart, quickly creating a rift that shimmered with a ghostly light. In a flash, he appeared above the Western Continent.
He was suspended in mid-air. Nearby was the place where his master had sent him a message.
Daoist Danxi's gaze sharpened as he scanned his surroundings. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as a strange black shadow appeared in his sight. The shadow flickered like a ghost, appearing and disappearing in the air, seemingly not belonging to this world. A thought struck him; within that shadow, he sensed a trace of the laws of space and time.
The laws of spacetime are a higher-dimensional mystery than the laws of space; they govern the flow of time and the transformation of space, a realm beyond the reach of cultivators in this world. How could they appear here? Could it be related to the chaotic power Master spoke of?
Filled with curiosity, Daoist Danxi gently landed. However, the dark figure vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed.
He stood where the shadow had disappeared, his brow furrowed. The spatial and temporal aura he had just sensed was nowhere to be found, as if it had all been just his imagination.
Just then, he saw a jade ornament lying quietly on the ground. He bent down and picked it up.
This is a very ordinary jade ornament, without any spiritual energy fluctuations. However, its shape is rather special, carved into the shape of a small string of willow buds, and its color is also pleasingly green, shimmering with a warm and soft light in the morning light.
Not far away, a simple restriction quietly dissipated, and the mist-like barrier receded. Daoist Danxi had already noticed this restriction earlier; it seemed to have been hastily set up here by someone in a hurry, with a simple and rushed method.
As the restrictions dissipated, a woman appeared in this tranquil space.
She was a female cultivator with ordinary cultivation level. She was beautiful, but her clothes were disheveled, her hair was messy, and her steps were unsteady.
Daoist Danxi frowned slightly, thinking to himself that this was obviously a problem.
Jiang Liuya was completely unaware of Qingyi Daojun's disdain.
She had just woken up, her eyes still somewhat dazed, and she walked slowly toward Daoist Danxi.
"Brother..." she called softly, her voice charming and tender, filled with longing.
Brother? Who is he calling? Daoist Danxi was quite certain that there was no one else here.
He turned slightly to the side, his expression arrogant, his eyes coldly glancing at the female cultivator in front of him.
"You must have mistaken me for someone else." His voice was devoid of warmth, as if it came from an icy cave in the dead of winter.
Having said that, Daoist Danxi rose into the air with an unquestionable decisiveness.
At that moment, he realized he was still holding the jade ornament he had just picked up, so he carelessly tossed it aside as if he were discarding a useless piece of trash.
Jiang Liuya's pupils dilated instantly, and she opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
She watched helplessly as the jade ornament, which held precious memories, was mercilessly thrown from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground with a shattering sound.
She stared in astonishment at the blue-robed Daoist in mid-air, only to see him vanish in the blink of an eye with a flick of his sleeve, seemingly without any lingering attachment to the place.
Jiang Liuya stood there blankly, staring blankly ahead, and it took her a long time to react.
She slowly crouched down and picked up the fallen jade ornament. The once tender and round willow bud was now unrecognizable. Sharp cracks lined the edges, and fragments were scattered on the ground like fine sand. Its once warm luster had vanished, replaced by a dull, lifeless sheen. It seemed to have lost all life and vitality.
Her heart felt empty, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The sunlight on the horizon grew brighter, its golden rays bathing the earth in warmth and light, seemingly capable of dispelling all darkness and cold. Yet, some people's hearts remained frozen in the cold night.
Jiang Liuya slumped to the ground, unable to move for a long time, tears streaming down her face.
He left without hesitation, his cold gaze and icy words making it seem as if the tender moments and words of love from the previous night were nothing but a fleeting dream.
Their past replayed in her mind like a movie.
Under the glow of the campfire, their hearts fluttered.
When he presented the jade ornament, he held it in his hands with great affection.
In the starry underground tunnels.
She once asked, "If one day your memory returns, will you forget me?"
His declaration, almost like a vow, said: "You are the person I want to spend my life with."
Her brother in green robes really could fly. It turned out he was indeed a powerful being above the Nascent Soul stage.
Brother in green, why did you leave like this, without any explanation?
Did you remember everything? So, you think that the experiences of this period of time, the friendships of these days, are absurd and laughable?
Jiang Liuya's vision blurred.
The man had already soared into the sky at dawn, leaving her alone in the darkness.
