Chapter 1807
Chapter 1807 - Marriage
During these past few years, the feeling Yun Xi gave off was an aloof and calm one, as if she was completely withdrawn from worldly affairs, gentle, peaceful, and calm. She picked medicines in the mountain in a tranquil manner, as if she was a goddess in a world of mortals.
However, today, her sparkling white and beautiful face became slightly red, her expression changing, unable to remain calm anymore, startled by the sudden news.
Qin Yining came, wishing to have her and Shi Hao get married!
Even though she long had a feeling that this would eventually happen, so many years passed in a flash, and only today did she receive clear information. That was why she was momentarily stunned.
She was a bit flustered. Even though she had previously made mental preparations, she still felt like this was ‘sudden’.
Should she agree? She originally came down into the lower realms precisely to take care of Huang whose cultivation was going to be crippled, not wishing to abandon him, to repay him in this way.
However, who would have thought that Huang’s cultivation wouldn’t decrease at all, sticking it through all the way until now. Even now, he was still extremely healthy!
He was like an undying cockroach. There was such a great calamity, this was the Immortal Breaking Curse we were talking about, something that could even cripple true immortals, yet he could actually still stick it through! It really was unbelievable.
She wasn’t able to personally take care of Shi Hao. Previously, she had thoughts of leaving, but Qin Yining stopped her, the reason simple, that Shi Hao hadn’t broken free from the Immortal Breaking Curse yet, he might still be crippled at any time.
Now, Qin Yining further asked her to marry Shi Hao.
Regardless, the significance of a dao companion, for a female cultivator, was something entirely different. She found it hard to calm down, actually feeling the urge to run.
Qin Yining prevented her from doing so.
Perhaps women understood women the best. They quietly discussed things.
Yun Xi thought back to the events of the past, all of the different things that happened. In the beginning, her and Shi Hao wrestled each other, she even had her ears bitten on, but later on became friendly, becoming close friends.
In the end, they even more so traveled together through life and death. Shi Hao protected her, escorting her through the bloody plains, bringing her back to Celestial Clan. These were memories that she cherished, hard for her to forget.
Only, the things Celestial Clan did were like a blade, hacking through these beautiful scenes.
When she learned that Shi Hao was being crippled, that he was afflicted with the Immortal Breaking Curse, she didn’t feel any hesitation, insisting on following him, precisely to restore the past fractured relationship.
The past was already the past. However, now that she looked back, when she asked herself, she was sure that she didn’t hate Shi Hao, following him at his side instead brought many joyous memories.
She knew that she did like him.
However, there were some things that happened back then after all, so now, could she truly become his dao companion?
Yun Xi knew that Shi Hao always advanced boldly, domineering the lower realms, ascending into the Nine Heavens, he even fought in Desolate Border. He definitely didn’t only have a single close female friend, would he be able to let them all go?
This so-called letting go, was directed at the things she had to face in the future, as well as Shi Hao who was to become her dao companion.
It was because in the future, what if those women appeared again? What was she supposed to do? Meanwhile, would Shi Hao truly be able to forget them like past beautiful sceneries? At the very least, she knew that there was a Huo Ling’er, even though her current condition was unknown, there was a deep imprint left in Shi Hao’s heart.
Yun Xi’s thoughts were a bit complicated, a bit contradictory, but also a bit happy.
In the end, she agreed.
Qin Yining immediately smiled.
In the distance, the crimson dragon’s entire body was fiery red, scarlet multicolored light swirling about, currently moving its entire body, shouting out, “The heavens are great, the earth is great, but old mom is greatest!”
This was clearly done on purpose, to mock its cheap master, purposely provoke Shi Hao.
It was because it knew that this marriage began precisely because of Qin Yining’s inciting.
Even though Shi Hao’s cultivation was extremely profound, when faced with this dragon, he still couldn’t endure it. In reality, he didn’t want to endure it, so a foot flew out, this True Dragon… flew again!
“I, the great crimson dragon, will return!” A miserable scream echoed through the sky from the horizon.
All of Stone Village became bustling with activity, decorated with lanterns and colored banners, incredibly festive and lively. The past children, those kids from Desolate Border, had now already grown up.
Stone Village was now entirely different, becoming powerful, the foundation astonishing!
The aptitudes of Stone Village’s descendants were extremely good, while the children from Desolate Border were even more exceptional. They were the descendants of Desolate Border’s seven kings! Now that they grew up, there were some formidable experts who came out of them.
In terms of comprehensive strength, Stone Village could already dominate the lower realms!
It was just a village hidden within the great wilderness, yet its power could devour mountains and rivers.
“Big brother, you are finally going to get married.” Qingfeng came, smiling, feeling sincere joy. He was Stone Country’s Human Emperor, so now, he long had quite a few descendants.
The Zhuyan tweaked its ears and scratched its cheeks, while its old rival, that little red bird -- Vermilion Bird’s descendant, also hurried over from Fire Nation’s ancestral land.
The golden lion’s expression was complicated. It came down into the lower realms with Huang, already spending many years here, personally watching how quickly he rose up, now actually at the peak of Self Release Realm.
What was hardest for it to endure was that Huang was not satisfied, still wanting to break a record, enter the Supreme Being Realm. Five hundred years was a taboo line that couldn’t be crossed for the Supreme Being Realm, yet he wanted to break it?
If he really did become a supreme being before reaching a hundred years of age, this… really would be enough to scare it to death!
“Heh, is a supreme being under a hundred years of age really going to appear? It seems like I have to hurry and cultivate too, refine the Great Black Tortoise God Fist as early as possible!” Third Blackie stuck its head out, looking around, a wretched expression on its face.
“Is this the great tortoise divine fist?” The big red bird had a look of disdain on its face, extremely cocky, directly smacking it off to the side with a phoenix wing.
The Nine-Headed Lion, Princess Qian Qian, and the others all came. There was a group of people from Heaven Mending Pavilion too, for example, Xia Youyu, ‘prominent horn’ Xiao Tian, and others.
Now, Stone Village wasn’t scared of its location being exposed anymore. Who in the lower realms could still attack them? As the children grew up, this place’s fighting strength increased drastically!
Even if Shi Hao and the others weren’t here, just those grown up kids were enough to dominate the world!
“Let everything go, don’t be preoccupied with anything anymore, and I can become a supreme being?” Shi Hao asked himself.
Time didn’t wait for him. The amount of time he had really wasn’t much, if he couldn’t rise up earlier, everything would be for nothing!
As a result, Shi Hao felt worried, felt impatience, wanted to find a way to make a breakthrough on this path as early as possible.
However, would letting one’s thoughts go really allow one to become a supreme being?
Could he really just let everything go?
Shi Hao was meditating, forgetting his secret methods, forgetting great techniques, becoming like an ordinary mortal. He gradually calmed himself down.
Soon afterwards, his mind became calm. He was reflecting, thinking to himself. The restricted region lord pointed out where he was lacking, saying that he was preoccupied with too many things, that he was going to go mad. Did he really have to sever away all of his thoughts?
Right now, this was precisely what he was doing, trying his best to let everything go, release the restrictions, including his emotions, changing himself.
He felt like he was currently scattering his thoughts. Secret methods and great techniques were all forgotten, while the women he had previously interacted with, their figures also became blurry.
However, there was clearly still bitterness at the depths of his heart!
“That’s Qing Yi…”
In that instant, in the depths of his heart, there was a figure that appeared. How could he forget?!
Soon afterwards, he ruthlessly scattered it again. He wanted to forget it all, become a supreme being. There wasn’t enough time, he wanted to rush into the heavens, he couldn’t waste any time.
If he was given another thousand years, ten thousand years, then he wouldn’t make this type of choice, wouldn’t walk this path.
He was scattering his own thoughts!
This was what Shi Hao was doing.
However, this process was a bit complex, extremely dangerous.
He was forgetting, cutting away much of his thoughts, but deep inside, he felt an indistinct soreness.
Shi Hao understood, there were some things that were hard to sever.
Sure enough, soon afterwards, the figure of that Fire Clan woman appeared again.
When one thought emerged, another was scattered, and then another memory appeared.
After shattering the thoughts he originally had, he would then instead only bury another thought deeper. In the end, the Fire Mulberry Flowers withered, a rain of flowers filling the skies. That figure that silently waited underneath seemed to have become something he could never forget.
“Erase!”
Shi Hao released a light shout, obliterating all thoughts. He decisively took that step, wishing to walk forward.
Meanwhile, during the final instant before he did this, he vowed that if he couldn’t succeed, couldn’t take that step, he would go against the dao!
The so-called against the dao, was that since his thoughts couldn’t be erased, then he wouldn’t erase them, wouldn’t get rid of them, instead cutting through ten thousand dao with a single will!
That path was precisely to destroy all obstructions even while carrying all those emotions, precisely using those thoughts he couldn’t let go of to become a supreme being!
One will to cut through ten thousand dao!
This was his final choice.
Meanwhile now, he seemed to have achieved that step he wanted to take, to scatter all of his will. The expression in his eyes was peaceful as he watched the festive Stone Village. He walked towards the young lady who was currently waiting for him.
That day, Shi Hao got married. There were many guests who came, the village extremely lively. Everyone was touching glasses and exchanging drinks. Clan chief Shi Yunfeng was so happy he was grinning from ear to ear, the children were also laughing, everyone toasting to this occasion.
There were many guests from the outside world, even Ocean Clan creatures and others coming.
“It’s actually… that bird!” The golden lion was furious. It saw the fella who left bird poo on its nose; that palm-sized Five-Colored Sparrow appeared.
This was a strange bird. There was a small cauldron that was pure white like jade carried by its beak. After throwing it into Stone Village, it turned around to run!
Many people were confused, not knowing why the golden lion got so angry.
Only Stone Village’s people understood just how strange that bird was. They were all alarmed.
Shi Hao stared at the small cauldron on the ground. He remembered clearly,that day when the seven deities came down into the lower realms, he went to fight them, bringing a cauldron from the village with him. However, in the end, that cauldron cracked apart, revealing a pure white cauldron within…
In the end, that white cauldron disappeared into the void.
Who would have thought that the Five-Colored Sparrow would bring it back.
