Chapter 699: Chapter 78: The Mystery of Time, Undying Saber

"The alliance between the Yellow Heaven and the White Tiger Taoist Lord is deep and supported by the Purple Mansion Celestial Venerate. Going to her unprepared will surely lead to unforeseen disasters."

"No need to hurry, I have long devised a strategy for this matter."

"In a hundred years, there will be an earth-shattering war between the Mortal Realm and the Netherworld, during which the three Celestial Venerates will make a move."

"I will take the opportunity to suppress the White Tiger Taoist Lord for you."

"By then, whether you want to kill her or have other plans, you can do anything you wish."

The White Tiger Divine Venerate felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this, even developing an indescribable sense of reliance.

She had always relied on herself in the past. When the Empress was around, she treated all Immortals and Buddhas equally, and the disputes between the two sisters were never made public.

But now, this man forcibly took her, and dominantly made her his woman, yet for some unknown reason, she wasn’t too repulsed, instead growing increasingly dependent and joyful.

Particularly in recent years, being with Lu Chengfeng, she had thoroughly understood the divine techniques of this man.

Even if Yellow Heaven and that woman joined forces, they wouldn’t be a match for her man.

Thoughts flashed through her mind, making the White Tiger Divine Venerate even more gentle. Though she was always vengeful and coldly fierce before outsiders, once completely submissive, she would show a gentleness and obedience far beyond other women.

"I... I’ll listen to you..."

"Whatever you say, I will do."

The White Tiger spoke continuously, while simultaneously communicating telepathically.

Lu Chengfeng burst into hearty laughter upon hearing this, knowing that from now on, this White Tiger was finally completely submissive.

...

After leaving from the White Tiger Divine Venerate, a light drizzle began falling from the sky, sparse and scattered.

Lu Chengfeng found himself alone at the Pine Wave Pavilion. This small pavilion was located halfway up the mountain, offering a far-reaching view of ancient pines like an ocean, cloaked in mist, resembling an Immortal Realm.

He strolled alone, reaching the pine forest, sitting beside a tall ancient pine, his hair cascading over his shoulders, eyes showing a hint of solitude.

Presently, in the Shenxiao Palace, he indulged in pleasures, enjoying countless resources and precious immortality pills, finding rare tranquility and peace amidst the chaotic world.

But all of this was thanks to the Empress, or rather, his younger martial sister’s legacy.

According to the original trajectory of destiny, she was supposed to fade in her struggle against the Celestial Emperor only after the conquest of the Netherworld.

Yet, due to his appearance, she fell ten thousand years prematurely.

Although Lu Chengfeng, based on various pieces of information, speculated that his younger martial sister might not have truly perished, possibly existing in an enigmatic state, engaging in a fierce contest with the Celestial Emperor.

But without a doubt, he had personally plucked the strings of fate, prompting her to fight a life-and-death battle with the Celestial Emperor prematurely.

If she lost this battle, she would vanish from the Three Realms completely, as the original trajectory of destiny dictated.

No matter how chaotic the Three Realms have become, no matter how jubilant the Celestial Venerates hopped, everything would eventually return to the original track.

Lu Chengfeng casually picked a white flower from the ground, the raindrops on it diluting the fragrance, adding a touch of coolness.

He sniffed the petals lightly, a kind of indescribable tenderness enveloping him.

"Little sister, are you alright?"

He couldn’t calculate the Great Emperor, finding no trace of these two figures in the past and future, and could only speculate on their state from fragmented bits of future information.

He sighed softly, in this secluded place, unexpectedly feeling a bit more melancholic and lonely.

Lu Chengfeng had never been a person with grand ambitions; he was greedy, lustful, indolent, even selfish and domineering, hardly different from those little characters in the mundane world.

If not for his gifted talent, he couldn’t have come as far as he had today.

Even the women around him were more outstanding than him.

Luo Suyi, although gentle and unambitious, was the reincarnation of the Cyan Nether Celestial Venerate, progressing rapidly in cultivation, facing no bottlenecks, likely to regain her Celestial Venerate position soon.

Zhu Yuxian, despite her shallow cultivation for now, possessed a rare grand ambition, renewing the Martial Path with her strength, creating a Breathing Technique and a True Form Technique.

As for Yi Hongchen, Qi Lingxi, and others, they were even more ambitious, wanting to find their own path and establish a foundation despite becoming Guardian True Spirits.

The White Tiger Divine Venerate and the Vermilion Bird Taoist Lord, not to mention, were already high-ranking officials in the Divine Court, possessing elite status, background, temperament, fortune, and Tao cultivation, all top-notch in the Three Realms.

As for him... he was like a country boy recklessly charging thanks to innate talent, without goals, without direction, drifting with the tide, pushed by the changes in the Three Realms.

Though now adept in Tao cultivation, possessing infinite divine power, he felt increasingly lonely, yearning for his youthful days practicing martial arts and swordsmanship at Bixiao Peak.

Now recalling Jiangnan and its pleasures, youthful days in thin spring garments.

Riding a horse leaning on a slanted bridge, the red sleeves inviting from the tower.

Past events are gone, impossible to return, not even his mastery of the Time Law could reverse time...

"Hmm?! Time reversal?!"

Lu Chengfeng’s eyes suddenly shrank, remembering the Cyan Nether Celestial Venerate, with his current Tao cultivation and divine techniques, though not yet a Celestial Venerate, he had a solid foundation and absolute confidence in breaking through.
