Chapter 1349: Chapter 1343: She Saw…
“With Heng’er at home, I feel much more at ease.”
Li Xinnian smiled with gratification, speaking softly to Nangong Qingya. “With Heng’er controlling the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart, it takes a massive weight off my mind.”
Nangong Qingya smiled sweetly. “I’ve finally figured out these men in our family; they all have cold exteriors but warm hearts…”
But before the words could fully leave her mouth, and while Li Xinnian was still smiling…
Suddenly.
A wave of agony washed over Nangong Qingya’s face. She clutched her head, causing Li Xinnian’s expression to fill with worry. “Qingya, you…”
This was Nangong Qingya’s old affliction!
Beginning centuries ago, scenes of the ‘future’ would appear in Nangong Qingya’s mind.
The family elders had all taken a look; Nangong Qingya’s condition looked very much like a rebirth.
Such things existed in this world. The rules of time were illusory and intangible.
At the moment of death, due to entering the cycle of reincarnation, or possessing a time disparity with reality while within the Underworld, a person might fall into a ‘wrong’ timeline.
Or perhaps some treasure had brought a person back to the past.
However, Nangong Qingya’s situation seemed unusual.
Because the things in her memories held a massive disparity with reality. Everything she knew in her memories had also been constantly changing over these centuries.
It was actually more akin to the Old Tree’s ‘Omen’, capable of catching glimpses of the future.
Every time new memories surfaced in her mind, Nangong Qingya would always suffer from headaches, accepting the altered future.
Under Li Xinnian’s worried gaze.
Nangong Qingya raised her head, looking blankly at Li Xinnian. “Husband, my… my memories this time are very normal.”
“What?!!”
Shortly after.
Li Xinnian and Nangong Qingya found an inn.
Nangong Qingya was in a daze.
She had experienced many, many ‘wrong’ memories.
In some memories, back when the Wu Tribe invaded the Azure Cloud Region, no one resisted, and the entire Azure Cloud Region fell.
It wasn’t until a century later, when the entirety of Azure Cloud Prefecture was reduced to the Wu Tribe’s territory, that she died.
Or the Human Emperor was enraged, engaging in a massive battle with the Wu Tribe in Azure Cloud Prefecture, plunging the people into misery and suffering.
Immortals and gods descended upon Azure Cloud Prefecture; the Human Emperor was slain in Azure Cloud Prefecture, and she died again.
Until one timeline where, after serving under the Baimei Daoist who had reached the Mahayana realm, she met Li Xinnian, who was also under the Baimei Daoist waiting for an opportunity for revenge; Ancestor Lan charged into the fray, and she died yet again.
In subsequent memories, she encountered Li Xinnian time and time again, dying time and time again, experiencing different versions of the past.
Until the memories of this very day. In these memories, everything was as usual: the Li Clan ruled Azure Cloud Prefecture, and she became Li Xinnian’s bride.
Yet such normal memories made Nangong Qingya’s mind go blank. Fear crawled from her heart into her mind like ants, eroding her soul. “Husband, is this my cycle of reincarnation?”
“In other words, I am constantly reincarnating, then meeting you, losing you… The Heavens are torturing me.”
The arms Li Xinnian wrapped around Nangong Qingya were trembling. He could not comprehend what Nangong Qingya was experiencing.
But he believed everything Nangong Qingya said was true.
His wife was perhaps just constantly encountering him, and constantly dying.
Li Xinnian felt fear. Nangong Qingya had already recalled cycle after cycle of reincarnation, so this time… had it reached the end again?
Was she going to experience another life until she achieved some grand objective?
Li Xinnian did not know. In this moment, he thought of many things. It wasn’t until he saw Nangong Qingya’s tear-filled eyes that he took a deep breath and said gently,
“Qingya, everything will be fine. If it truly is as we guessed, then this time I will walk with you to the very end.
No one can stop you and me, and there will be no more reincarnations. We will return home and reunite with the elders, Zhiheng, and our children.”
“Our family is very powerful. Zhiheng is now at the Body Integration realm, mastering the Dao of Illusion and Reality.”
“Everything will end, and we will find Eldest Brother.”
“We will find a place to live in seclusion. The High Ancestor was right; from now on, I will no longer meddle in the family’s affairs.
I will cultivate a few acres of spiritual fields and raise a few long-lived tortoises.
When you have free time, you can water the flowers. When the mood strikes us, we can travel the mountains and rivers together…”
Nangong Qingya listened quietly, unconsciously revealing a smile.
From day to night.
Suddenly, Nangong Qingya felt another sharp pain in her mind. Looking at Li Xinnian holding her in his arms, she touched her husband’s face, which was full of gentleness.
She truly didn’t know where those demonic and evil cultivators of the Southern Sea got their filthy thoughts, claiming her husband was the most wicked person.
She said softly, “With my memories revived, perhaps I have found Eldest Brother’s traces.”
One year later.
In the City of Merit, at the location of Li Yaoqing and the Old Tree, Nangong Qingya was residing here.
Li Xinnian had brought Nangong Qingya back, and then set out to search for Su Chen.
Li Xinnian was ultimately afraid, not daring to take Nangong Qingya to any dangerous place.
If it weren’t to find Su Chen, he wouldn’t even leave Nangong Qingya’s side for half a step.
“Qingya, don’t be afraid. Xinnian was right; at home, you have us to protect you.”
Li Yaoqing smiled at Nangong Qingya. Her expression was slightly grim; the family already knew about these matters, though no one knew why they were happening.
“Qing Ancestor, your child wishes to go outside and take a look,” Nangong Qingya said, acting as if nothing had happened.
Li Yaoqing gave a sound of assent. Under Li Zhiheng’s protection, Nangong Qingya strolled through the family estate.
Li Yaoqing called out Lu Niang.
Lu Niang sat on a branch of the Old Tree, lowering her head in thought.
“I have never heard of such a thing either. But one thing I am certain of: what this little girl guessed is highly likely to be true.
When the memories reach their end, she too will reach her end.
Of course, it is also possible that she will continue to reincarnate within the memories, or perhaps everything she is facing now is the normal trajectory.”
Li Yaoqing’s thoughts were in turmoil. She did not understand the Dao of Time.
In this world, many rules and laws possessed wondrous uses. Time, memory, and the like were obscure and mysterious existences.
…
Azure Cloud Prefecture.
The place where the spirit boats had once sent Li Xinghuo and Li Tianyue to the Northern Frontier and the Western Frontier had now become the docking ground for the spirit boats of Azure Cloud Prefecture.
Numerous cultivators were training there, constantly preparing to face the arrival of the Blood Moon.
Nangong Qingya stood silently in place.
It was also here that Li Xinnian had asked her if she would marry him.
At that time, she had shouted loudly, “I will, I will, I will!” Thinking about it now still made her face flush red.
She slowly turned her head, looking forward. The memories in her mind were clearly visible.
She saw the cultivators of Azure Cloud Prefecture charging forward, and the elders of the family fighting desperately.
She also saw…
Herself lying upon a sea of colorful, iridescent flowers, beneath a cloudy sky where spiritual qi emanated and swirled like mist. In Li Xinnian’s arms, she was dissipating bit by bit.
