Time just fleeted in Duanjie City.
A month passed within a blink of an eye.
The temperature in the city kept dropping. Days were short and nights long.
Duanjie City finally settled down after half a month’s chaos. Siming who hid behind the scenes walked out of the Xingling Hall in the posture of a goddess coming to the world and stabilized the order.
She had a stunningly beautiful face and acted in a graceful demeanor with an air of elegance. She was so beautiful that no one would suspect her. They all took her words as the oracle.
No new king had ascended the throne yet so the prime minister had to deal with the government affairs temporarily. As to Siming, after showing herself once, she hid behind the scenes again to navigate the overall situation.
She wanted to pay no heed to the secular affairs but after all, the root of her law was hidden in Duanjie City. She needed to maintain the stability o
Ning Changjiu read all the books. The oil lamp was still burning. The bean-size flame flickered.He unfolded the last book and then merged the content of the Beiming Divine Sword Method with the other books.All the cultivation methods were integrated into a complete book in his consciousness.That was the Divine Records of Sura mentioned by Yechu, which was the Heavenly Heart Scripture of Bu Ke Temple in his previous life.Heavenly Heart Scripture was the required basic mental method of all the disciples in the temple. That was what Ning Changjiu practiced before he was 16 years old.Yet, he had been reincarnated but the veil on the memories by Bu Ke Temple still remained. Most of his memories were still like the iceberg hidden in the seawater. Only when it was seen could it be truly recalled.Now, the seal on the memories seemed to be unfrozen bit by bit. The complete picture of the Heavenly Heart
Ning Xiaoling and Lu Jiajia met the next afternoon.The young girl was wearing a simple white dress with a sword at her waist. Her long black hair drooped softly with the end of her hair tied into a knot. Her face still appeared somewhat childish but she was a lot quieter, displaying an air of detachment. She just looked like the young version of Lu Jiajia.When she came to meet Lu Jiajia, she was carrying a wooden box, in which there were the desserts made by her and the hair ornaments forged with the metal sheets by her.She arrived at Lu Jiajia’s cottage, sat on the mattress, took the warm desserts out and passed them to Lu Jiajia. Lu Jiajia slightly opened her eyes and said thanks rather than declined the offer. Then, she started to eat.“Master, are you used to living here?” Ning Xiaoling asked randomly.Lu Jiajia nodded, “Not bad. The South Wilderness is not as dangerous as the legend as long as I can resi
Siming stood on the platform. Under the black cape and the silver hair, the endless land and the city held her up high. The darkness within reach merged with her cold eyes. When she looked down at Duanjie City, she seemed to devour the whole magnificent city.Siming’s words were still resounding slowly.An extremely faint shadow suddenly flashed through her crystalline Taoist mind as if the mosquitoes flashed across the water and disappeared.She immediately exerted her power to reverse her own time.The time went back to several breaths ago. She stared at the still lake of heart that was like the mirror and yet saw nothing.The night wind blew over with coldness and poured into her clothes, making her even colder.“Did my eyes deceive me...” She thought. What was going to happen from today onward was of too much importance for her. She was unwilling to let go of any clue to interfere with her actio
Yechu and Ning Changjiu lived next door.Yechu had stopped telling fortune for others and focused his concentration on cultivating the Divine Records of Sura at home. He established countless bridges of destinies for himself so that every step forward could be almost on the fastest and luckiest path. Hence, his speed of cultivation was fast beyond comprehension.Ning Changjiu climbed over the wall, entered Yechu’s home, pushed open the gate, dragged a chair over and sat opposite him.He didn’t disturb Yechu but stared at the latter cultivating. He didn’t speak until Yechu finished cultivating, “Your current momentum is so magnificent. What an eye-opener!”Yechu opened his eyes slowly. One of his pupils was dark and the other one was golden. Holy radiance streamed down his cheek from the golden pupil slowly like tears.With a faint smile, Yechu said, “What doubts do you have today?”Ning Changjiu sai
Wails and cries spread through the city like a plague.The grey sky was glimmering with the pale light. Siming standing on the platform looked like a demon. There were countless streaks of spirits in her palms. Those were all the spirits absorbed by her.Different sounds including wails, begging for mercy, clanging of weapons, the sound of carriages hitting buildings, resounded noisily and frantically.The young man prostrated on the ground, striving to open his eyes to stare at the motionless black snake. He thought that it was only his delusion.Siming stood on the platform as if a monarch arrived at her territory. She looked at everything that was happening under the platform. Those summoned spirits were merely tools to take in the power in her eyes. Their lives were decided by her instant thought.The master of the godly state had long been dead. She was no longer second only to one.After today
Yechu trekked across the snowfield. His rough cape was stained with the holy golden radiance unknowingly. His long hair was tied up, making him look like an extremely handsome young man. On his flawless face, one of his pupils was bright and the other dark, seeming to symbolize the rotating Yin and Yang.The Divine Records of Sura was running nonstop in his body. Every cosmic orbit it circulated, the holy radiance in his pupils would grow richer.Last night, when he went away, he left a note for Ning Changjiu at the last minute.He gave up killing Ning Changjiu.For one thing, as long as his plan went well, Ning Changjiu’s living or dying wouldn’t affect the big picture. For another, according to Ning Changjiu’s cultivation progress, he should have suffered Qi deviation but he was still unscathed and could talk in a jovial mood as usual. Such being the case, Yechu guessed that Ning Changjiu might have seen through the loopho
The explosion spread rapidly in the shape of a huge annular flame. The whole sky was illumined with the doomsday-like red color. The loud sound and violent air billows rose and whistled down with the overturning momentum just like the flood that broke through the bank.Even though it was far away, the loud rumbling sound still came with the heat. Both the residents of Duanjie City and the villagers could feel the scorching heat blown onto their faces. They all scattered after a short daze. The noises seemed like the crackling sound in the flame.For thousands of years, the sky here was only turbidly white and stickily black. Today, it had the third color.Above Duanjie City, the golden cross was colored red. Siming was nailed up there. Her white dress and silver hair were both as red as blood, similar to the camellia which was about to wither in the dusk.On the end of the cross, the black raven shrieked at the sky, causing
It was four days after that battle when Ning Changjiu met Yechu again.A withered shooting star flew across the sky into the depths of the wilderness. After noticing that, Ning Changjiu immediately rushed to the depths of the wilderness with his dry branch and sword. Having crossed a marsh permeated with venomous fogs, he found Yechu on the tilted straws in a valley that took the shape of a broken scallop.Yechu was currently a shattered puppet. His arms were both darkly charred with the cracks in the pattern of the wooden grating. They looked like several firewood logs put together on his body. He hung on the stone wall alone. Those threads of destiny that pierced through his body were mostly burned off, which hung on the rocks roughly, making him look like a spider that had suffered the big fire in the forest.When Ning Changjiu arrived, Yechu raised his head. His face without sense organs was even beyond recognition. Half of it was da
