Chapter 1339: Clash of Fate, The Beginning of Long-Standing Battle!

The door of the Phoenix Hall slowly opened.

There was no wind in the outside world, but there was the flow of time, silently arriving through the open door.

At this moment, the entire Phoenix Hall seemed to have become a river of time and space.

When the figure outside the door took a step, it set off waves of time and space.

In the instant that the first wave bloomed, the image of time filled the entire hall.

The image was sparkling, reflecting the Seven Sect Alliance's land of the past.

Birds chirped and flowers bloomed. It was peaceful.

In the distance, Seven Blood Pupils cultivators could be seen building their own sect. Nearby, two figures could be seen hiding outside the Dark Serenity Sect like thieves.

This was the day the Seven Blood Pupils had just joined the Seven Sect Alliance. It was also the scene where Er Niu invited Xu Qing to accompany him to trade his finger with Huang Yikun.

In the scene, there was a woman standing in the sky with a smile on her face.

This woman was extremely flirtatious. Her long black hair draped behind her back and was gently tied up with a pink ribbon. She wore a purple dress with stars embedded within it. She was dazzling, and there was even a haze surrounding her. She was like a fairy, not someone from the mortal world.

At this moment, her gaze landed on Xu Qing. She chuckled and walked toward him.

While Er Niu and Xu Qing were still in shock, the woman walked in front of Xu Qing. She raised her finger and lifted Xu Qing's chin. Her breath was like orchids.

"Little friend, we meet again. You came to the Dark Serenity Sect so late. Did you get lost?"

This was the first time Xu Qing and Zixuan had truly met.

The waves rippled and Xu Qing, who was outside the scene of time, revealed a smile. Xu Qing, who was inside the scene of time, looked at the woman who lifted his chin and softly said.

"I didn't get lost. I followed the invisible line in my heart and found my way here."

After he said this, the woman in the scene paused.

As for the ripples of time, the first wave fell.

Xu Qing, who was outside, took a second step and the second wave bloomed in the Phoenix Hall.

The Eternal Immortal River appeared in the wave and filled the world inside the hall.

It was dusk and the sun was setting in the west.

And in the river, a giant boat was quietly sailing.

Zixuan gently leaned against the railing of the ship. Her figure seemed to blend into the sunset glow that filled the sky.

At that time, Xu Qing was sitting not far away with a slightly reserved expression.

"Xu Qing, play that song. I want to hear it."

His voice was soft, and the sound of the flute gradually faded.

Although there was still a hint of Jianghu in his voice, he no longer recounted the joys and sorrows of his life, nor did he reveal any loneliness.

The sound of the flute was filled with hope and blessings.

Zixuan's body trembled as she turned to look at Xu Qing.

At this moment, Xu Qing raised his head and said softly.

"This song was once called Death of Parting. Today, it is called Reunion."

......

Scenes of the Phoenix Hall rose and fell with the waves of time.

Xu Qing walked step by step towards Zixuan. With every step he took, the scene of time reappeared.

Amidst the waves, he could see the figures of the two people sitting on top of the giant snake statue. The heart-to-heart talk from back then echoed in his memories.

He could also vaguely see Zixuan drawing the figure of a protector on Xu Qing's body in the secret chamber in Sea-Sealing County.

There was also the silhouette of Zixuan obtaining the Zixuan Evergreen Lamp in the Human Race's Imperial Capital.

All of these intertwined and formed the rumbling of time and space. Waves of rumbling surged in the Phoenix Hall.

Finally, in the Phoenix Hall, Xu Qing stepped on the waves and walked in front of the cross-legged Zixuan.

He raised his hand towards Zixuan.

The starlight in Zixuan's eyes lit up the world the moment she opened them.

Xu Qing's arrival seemed to inject color into this lit world.

Therefore, Zixuan did not hesitate to hold Xu Qing's hand.

Xu Qing's expression was gentle as he helped Zixuan up and said softly.

"I'm back."

In the next instant, the entire Phoenix Hall turned blurry in the underground of Sea-Sealing County without a single sound, and it eventually disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was no longer in Seaward County, but on the Morning Dawn Mountain.

There were two graves there.

That was also the home that Xu Qing had chosen for himself a long time ago.

That was because his parents, who had naturally become blurry in his memories, were there.

Xu Qing could not find them in time and space after they had been sacrificed to the Eminent Desolation. Now, the only traces that proved their existence were these two graves.

Therefore, he brought Zixuan to live on the Morning Dawn Mountain.

Half of sixty years went by like this.

In these thirty years, the golden age of the Wanggu Continent was unfolding.

Zhou Zhengli and the others had completely adapted to the Wanggu Continent. They dispersed. Some went into seclusion, and some opened the mountain gate to preach.

Each of them cultivated in different ways.

As for the Eminent Desolation in the sky, he did not open his eyes.

However, on the Morning Dawn Mountain, two swords were unleashed.

The first sword was twenty-seven years ago. In the starry sky outside the Wanggu Continent, a god crossed the boundary.

Therefore, that sword rose from the Morning Dawn Mountain and went straight to the sky. It fell into the starry sky and killed the god who crossed the boundary!

God's blood spilled.

It attracted the attention of all living beings in the Wanggu Continent.

The second sword was five years ago. The place where it fell was not the starry sky, but the outer sea!

There, the gods of other star rings tried to enter the Wanggu Continent through the Primeval Sea.

They were killed by a sword!

These two swords shocked the gods outside the Wanggu Continent who were spying on this place.

And in the entire Wanggu Continent, a true holy land appeared.

Therefore, many people came to the Morning Dawn Mountain, but few could really walk up.

This was because the Morning Dawn Mountain was in space and time, but also not in space and time.

However, there was one person who could go up the mountain, but she stared outside the mountain for a long time and finally chose to leave.

This person was Ling'er.

In this world, there were many things that could not be forced, especially the word of love.

For example, Zhao Zhongheng, who had suffered for half his life, but still couldn't get the love he wanted.

Decades ago, Xu Qing went to the Sacrificial Moon Region. Although he did not say it clearly in the medicine shop, Ling'er already understood after spending a few days together.

......

Just like that, another ten years passed.

On this day, the light of dusk scattered across the world and reflected on the Morning Dawn Mountain, refracting a bright light.

In the dim light, a figure walked down from the mountain.

This figure was dressed in a black robe, with purple hair draped over his shoulders. His body was slender, and when he walked, he was like a mysterious light produced by the afterglow of the setting sun.

It was Xu Qing.

Behind him was Zixuan, dressed in matron's clothes.

Although her clothes were simple, it could not hide Zixuan's beauty. However, at this moment, there was a hint of worry in her expression as she looked at Xu Qing, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Behind her was the Vajra Sect's ancestor, whose body had become corporeal and was no longer a soul.

Over the years, the Vajra Sect's ancestor had obtained many fortunes and had completely become the old steward of the Morning Dawn Mountain, able to strut around in the outside world.

In his spare time, he had even begun to write stories …

The only one who could compete with him for this position was Xiao Ying.

However, the Vajra Sect's ancestor's pride in the past had completely dissipated today. What appeared on his face was the same worry as his matriarch's.

However, he understood that at this time, he could not speak, nor could he disturb Xu Qing and Zixuan's parting, so he silently retreated a little.

Without paying attention to the Vajra Sect's ancestor, Zixuan walked up to Xu Qing and tidied his clothes.

"Do you really need to go?"

Xu Qing was silent.

After a while, he turned to look in the direction of the Heaven Devouring Region and spoke softly.

"I'll have to end it. He's waited for me for many years."
