Hua family ship.
Xu Chong stood on the wide deck with a slightly puzzled look in his eyes.
Tomorrow is the auspicious wedding day, but at this moment, there are no festive colors inside and outside the entire ship, and the atmosphere is not lively at all. It is as quiet and peaceful as usual.
Even though the auspicious date was set a year ago and it’s been a while, but you can’t forget it, right?
What's going on?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a loud splash, and the sea level rose several feet, carrying Hua Nong Yue down towards the ship.
This is not the means of Dharmakāya, but the magical power of the Three Thousand Weak Waters.
The Dharma Realm controls the power of heaven and earth, and is mainly used to control natural phenomena such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning, which are already unpredictable. It does not have much influence on entities such as mountains, rivers, etc., which have more stable operating laws of their own.
But the magical power of Three Thousand Weak Waters is different.
Once mastered, the world's water systems will become extended limbs and eyes and ears, making it easy to kill enemies thousands of miles away and monitor the world.
The most outrageous thing is the defensive ability.
As long as Hua Nong Yue is in the sea, if you want to hurt her body, you must first evaporate the entire Endless Sea and the water systems connected to the land.
It can be said that the only person in the entire world who can achieve this is Xu Chong, who is like a bug, and it is only theoretically possible.
Xu Chong had seen this kind of scene before, so he was not surprised. He just watched Hua Nong Yue fall down with a smile, get closer, and then naturally snuggle into his arms.
"Let's not get married, okay?"
Hua Nong Yue pressed her face against Xu Chong's chest and said softly.
really……
Although Xu Chong had expected it, he didn't quite understand it.
Although he and Hua Nong Yue had never experienced any life-and-death separations or any earth-shaking events, their journey from acquaintance to understanding and then to cherishing each other was all very plain and natural, but their feelings for each other were still very clear.
In addition, given the current status of the two, there is no possibility of them demolishing their bridges after crossing them getting bored with the old and loving the new.
So why is that?
Xu Chong lowered his head to look at Hua Nong Yue.
"Half a year ago, when I was familiarizing myself with my magical powers, I ran into Lord Dou and Lord Lou by the Wei River."
Hua Nong Yue didn't even look up, and explained softly, "It was not until then that I knew what you had been through and what you were going to do..."
"this……"
Xu Chong was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, there were many things he did not tell Hua Nong Yue.
For example, the countdown to destruction, the environment outside the world, the great migration plan, etc.
It's not that I'm hiding it on purpose.
This is the same reason why no matter how much hardship or grievance a man suffers outside, he is unlikely to confide in his family.
It's not something noble, it's more of instinct or face.
As long as you can still hold on, there is no need to make it known to everyone.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about me."
After thinking for a while, Xu Chong said, "So far, I have never done anything that I am not sure of."
"You're lying."
Hua Nongyue's tone was a little low, "Everything outside the world, at present, all you know is the environment, right?"
"Well……"
Xu Chong was speechless again.
Indeed, whether there are more powerful creatures outside the world and what their attitude towards humans is are all unknown.
Even the known outside environment is only the environment near the Tianxuan Realm.
What the situation will be like further away is also unknown.
What currently supports Xu Chong's confidence is the mentality that "time travelers will eventually be invincible."
But this cannot be told to others.
"There's another reason."
Hua Nongyue tightened her arms around Xu Chong's waist, "You won't age anymore, but I still will."
"Who am I?"
"I am the second daughter of the Hua family. Not only have I been spoiled since I was a child, but now I am the heir of the Yin meridian and have a very high status."
"When I am old and you are still young, I...I will be very jealous."
"I won't let you take a concubine, I won't let you associate with other women, I will make sure you can only have an old woman like me forever."
Hua Nong Yue said, pretending to be fierce, "If you don't obey me at all, I will cry, make a scene, and even hang myself, making you lose all face."
“…”
Xu Chong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Let’s not talk about whether Xu Chong will get tired of the old and fall in love with something new, even if that day really comes, Hua Nong Yue cannot possibly feel jealous just because of the deeply rooted concepts in Taiping Dao and even this world.
I said these words simply to make myself feel relieved.
"certainly."
Hua Nongyue raised her pretty face, which was already red, with three parts of shame and seven parts of provocation in her eyes, "It's just that we don't want to get married. Don't you want me to be your woman?"
In other words, they don't need any status, they are husband and wife in reality but not in name.
Xu Chong suddenly realized and finally understood Hua Nong Yue's psychology.
He was simply afraid that when he encountered a crisis outside the realm, he would not be able to abandon the Imperial Prison in time and decisively, and would have to throw it out to cut off his tail and survive.
It has to be said that this idea is indeed very reasonable considering the inherent concepts of the Tianxuan Realm.
After all, status means responsibility.
Without this, the psychological burden will be much smaller when giving up.
But the problem is...
I am not from the Tianxuan Realm.
Would a time traveler care about status or not?
"ah?"
Seeing Xu Chong was slow to respond, Hua Nong Yue pretended to be surprised, with a more provocative look in her eyes: "Don't you really want to?"
Looking at the white and tender skin so close to him, which seemed to be as delicate as a baby's, Xu Chong's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"Whatever."
Xu Chong suddenly lowered his body, picked up Hua Nongyue by the waist, and said in an extremely overbearing manner: "I am the supreme ruler of this world, and I control the power of life and death over all living beings. Even if you don't want to be my woman, you have no choice."
"Really?"
Hua Nong Yue put her arms around Xu Chong's neck, and her beautiful eyes only reflected the person in front of her, shy yet bold.
Just like that, the two of them disappeared on the ship.
The top floor of Taiyin Pavilion in the distance.
"Your aunt..."
Hua Nongyu sighed and looked away, "It turns out that there really is such a love that lasts a lifetime at first sight."
"But she was wrong this time."
Sun Yourong shook her head, her tone calm.
Since when, she started to wear veil covering her face all day long again.
"Wrong?"
Hua Nongyu was surprised.
“Where the heart is, there is nothing to give up.”
Sun Yourong's autumn eyes curved slightly, like a crescent moon. "This is what Xu Chong once said. Although he is not a big-hearted person, he will also risk his life for the people or things he cherishes... Or maybe this has already happened, but we have no way of knowing."
"Where the heart is, there is nothing to give up?"
Hua Nongyu murmured and repeated, as if she remembered something from the past, and she also laughed: "Then let them fool around."
"My daughter has gone to practice."
Sun Yourong bowed slightly and disappeared on the top floor.
…
…
When yin and yang meet, the sun and the moon appear together, reflecting each other.
There was a sudden thunder and a surge of wind and clouds.
There were colorful clouds descending from the sky and sweet springs gushing out from the ground.
Even the entire vast Endless Sea is extremely active.
Such an unusual and strange sight aroused the high alert of the entire Daqing court.
They had to associate it with something.
Natural disaster.
However, after sending out experts to collect details from various places, the cabinet found that although this scene was extremely huge and covered all areas, it did not cause any damage at all.
It seems that it is really just an anomaly and has nothing to do with natural disasters.
Of course, the cabinet did not relax its vigilance, but continued to send out experts in rotation to take the greatest possible real-time precautions.
It was not until seven days later that the strange vision gradually dissipated and the huge stone that was weighing on everyone's heart was finally removed.
The two initiators of this strange phenomenon were nestling in the thick clouds thousands of feet in the sky, feeling tired and satisfied.
"What are you thinking about?"
Hua Nong Yue leaned lazily in Xu Chong's arms. Seeing that Xu Chong was in a daze, she couldn't help but reach out and touch the tip of Xu Chong's nose.
"Well……"
Xu Chong came back to his senses and said with a wicked smile: "I was wondering, you are obviously a Huangting cultivator, how come your body is so strong? Tsk tsk, a full seven..."
Before he could finish his words, Hua Nong Yue covered Xu Chong's mouth with her hands, "Don't say it!"
"Hmm."
Xu Chong let Hua Nong Yue do what she wanted, and his eyes began to wander wildly.
Immediately, Hua Nong Yue couldn't bear it anymore, and quickly pulled the clouds to roll herself out of Xu Chong's arms.
It's okay to dare to love and hate, but after all, she is a virgin and can't stand such ridicule.
However, when Hua Nong Yue showed up again, Xu Chong's gaze became even more presumptuous.
There was no way. The tight-fitting long skirt, as blue as water, outlined her endless gracefulness to the fullest. For Xu Chong, who had tasted the sweetness of it, this was another deadly temptation compared to before.
"Hurry up and get dressed. We need to get down to business."
Hua Nong Yue wrinkled her nose in embarrassment, squatted down with her knees hugged, and hid her beauty.
"Okay, okay."
Xu Chong stretched out his hand and in a flash he was fully dressed.
This was a little trick he developed after he reached the supreme level in "One Hand Breaking the Sky". It was much more handy than any storage ring or storage bracelet.
“So amazing…”
Hua Nong Yue was a little envious.
"From martial arts to side skills, you already know all the tricks. As long as you practice patiently, you will eventually learn it."
Xu Chong smiled and sat up straight, "How is it? Can you break through to the Dharmakāya level?"
"cannot."
Hua Nongyue shook her head with some regret, "If you can't break through to the Ultimate Yin Body, there's no way you can talk about the Dharmakaya."
"Is that so..."
Xu Chong seemed to be thinking about something.
It seems that the balance of Yin and Yang can neither reduce the extreme Yin body nor help the extreme Yin body to go further.
"but……"
Hua Nong Yue changed the subject and became excited: "I can cultivate the Dao in the Purple Mansion!"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to become an immortal god and go beyond the boundaries with me?"
Hearing this, Hua Nong Yue restrained her expression and nodded seriously, "If conditions permit, I hope to stand by your side instead of hiding under your protection."
It is indeed so.
Xu Chong sighed to himself.
Good idea, but unfortunately...
The immortal divine realm is not so easy to achieve.
According to the known information, there is a very obvious watershed between the Purple Mansion Seed Dao and the Immortal God.
This watershed may require certain specific conditions to be crossed.
For example, Emperor Yongtai.
After completely repairing the Purple Palace, Emperor Yongtai had the conditions to cultivate the Purple Palace.
He has a sufficient lifespan and still has more than forty years in the Tianxuan Realm. In addition, he has innate outstanding qualifications. Combining these three factors, theoretically speaking, Emperor Yongtai can completely become an immortal god on his own before the destruction of , and then choose to leave the realm.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best choice for Emperor Yongtai.
Because doing so can completely eliminate dependence on the rules of the Tianxuan Realm.
But why didn't he do that?
Didn't he expect this? Or was he too eager for quick success?
Based on the tactics and tactics Emperor Yongtai has demonstrated in the past, it is obvious that neither of these two situations is possible.
There was only one reason Xu Chong could think of as to why he had to settle for the next best thing, to extend the existence of the Tianxuan Realm as much as possible, and to use this time to try his luck outside the realm.
Emperor Yongtai was not sure that he could break through to the Immortal Divine Realm on his own.
Even Emperor Yongtai was not sure, so it is conceivable that there must be some crucial and necessary factors involved.
In addition, Li Xiangxue's situation can also prove this point.
Like Xu Chong, Li Xiangxue also expanded and consolidated the three great Dao seeds after devouring others through his inner demon, and gained full control of the Dao seeds.
He even relied on Ji Qingzhi, a human-shaped tonic, to directly skip over the difficulty of Xu Chongzhong's lack of strength when he was cultivating the Tao, and pushed Zifu to the ninth level of Yangshen in one fell swoop.
But even so, Li Xiangxue didn't think he could break through to the Immortal God Realm.
Li Xiangxue couldn't describe that feeling, he simply felt that there was no more Purple Mansion realm after Yang Shen.
If the size of the Purple Mansion is the decisive factor, then Li Xiangxue should be more confident and more qualified than Xu Chong to break through to the Immortal God.
After all, Xu Chong only devoured Xie Changqing, while Li Xiangxue devoured many branches of the Fang family, as well as a magical clone of Emperor Yongtai, the ultimate boss of the Tianxuan Realm.
It can be said that Li Xiangxue's Zifu is more powerful than Xu Chong's.
But the reality is not so.
That is why Xu Chong concluded that the achievement of an immortal god must have some other elements.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Xu Chong not speaking, Hua Nongyue felt a little uneasy, "Don't you want me to do that?"
"No way."
Xu Chong smiled cheerfully, "In such a terrible environment outside the world, I wish I had a beautiful companion by my side."
"Don't worry, I will work hard to practice and strive to stand by your side as soon as possible."
Hua Nong Yue was encouraged and waved his fist excitedly.
"Don't just practice."
Xu Chong pinched Ruyu's nose and said, "After all, if I am outside the realm, you are the mistress of the realm. You have to divide your attention and take care of all living beings."
"Ah? You still have to do this..."
Hua Nong Yue muttered something to herself, but her heart was confused by the word "mistress".
But he soon became serious again, and asked nervously, "What about you? Have you changed?"
In fact, Hua Nong Yue had decided two things since she met Lou and Dou by chance.
The first thing is naturally to cancel the engagement, and the second is to use the Hua family's special physique to try to make Xu Chong take a step further.
These two things, one can reduce Xu Chong's concerns, and the other can make Xu Chong more confident.
As for whether he could become an immortal god, that was secondary.
Xu Chong naturally understood this.
"Silly girl."
Xu Chong felt pity in his heart and couldn't help but gently stroke Hua Nong Yue's face.
"Just tell me now!"
Hua Nong Yue grabbed Xu Chong's hand and shook it vigorously twice.
"Well, how should I put it?"
Xu Chong thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what realm I am in now, but I am definitely not in the realm of cultivation anymore."
"It's not a kind of Tao..."
Hua Nongyue's eyes lit up, "Above the path of cultivation?"
