ing, Xing Wan's sword flashed, and a fierce sword qi burst out, slashing towards the spring water not far away. For a moment, water splashed everywhere, soaking Bo An all over."Shen Xingwan, do you wa...Inspiration Mountain Peace Festival.
On the day of Qixi Festival, a hundred flowers bloom in the mountains. After nightfall, the blossoms will release all the spiritual energy accumulated throughout the year from heaven and earth on this night. Each petal unfurls with a soft glow, twinkling like stars across the vast landscape.
Whenever a gentle breeze blows, countless petals are blown into rivers and lakes, creating a magnificent spectacle of flowers shimmering like stars. It's a breathtaking sight that surpasses the beauty of any place in the Three Realms and Nine Provinces. The market is also decorated with lanterns and colorful goods, bustling with laughter and joy everywhere.
Only the Yunyin Pavilion on the mountain behind remains as tranquil and peaceful as ever.
A gentle evening breeze rustled the clouds, and a faint scent of flowers wafted over, leaving one feeling refreshed and delighted. Under the serene moonlight, Wuyang gazed down at a jade hairpin in her hand, lost in thought.
The hairpin is crystal clear and translucent, shimmering with a warm glow under the moonlight. A lotus flower blooms quietly at the top of the hairpin, clearly indicating its high value and intended use for women.
"No waves, no waves, come out quickly!"
In the dusk, a lively figure dashed into Yunyin Pavilion.
Wu Yang heard the sound and put away the jade hairpin in her hand. She looked up and found that Xing Wan today was quite different from usual.
She usually wore simple plain clothes and tied her hair with a ribbon. Today, however, she was dressed in a blue brocade robe. The skirt was embroidered with delicate lotus patterns, and she wore a hairpin made of pearls and jade. A silver sash outlined her waist, making her appear dignified and elegant.
"Have you taken the wrong medicine again today"
"Will you speak, today is the Qixi Festival, we are going to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, of course, we should dress solemnly."
"No wonder!"
Xing Wan glanced at Wu Yang, "When I came in just now, what were you hiding"
"It's nothing!"
Hearing Wuyang's denial, Xing Wan's eyes flickered. In fact, when she had first entered the room, she had already seen the jade hairpin in Wuyang's hand.
She found the jade hairpin exquisite and teased, "Nothing can escape my sharp eyes. Is this hairpin your beloved's You must be thinking of him seeing this."
"I think you've been reading too many romance novels. You seem to have a crush on everyone!"
"Don't be shy! If you let me smell the scent of that hairpin, I can definitely bring someone from the mortal realm to you!"
"Are you really a cultivator of a righteous sect"
Wuyu looked at Xingwan, her expression a mixture of confusion and disdain.
Xing Wan instantly retracted the gossipy smile on her face, "I just wanted to help you lovebirds finally be together!"
"Your enthusiasm is misplaced! Perhaps you could channel it elsewhere."
With a shake of her head, Wuyang remained unfazed. She retrieved the jade hairpin from its resting place and recalled its origins.
The jade hairpin in his hand was actually obtained during his time of training in the human world. It was a gift from his most beloved relative in the human world, his mother, Queen Sang Yi of Yu Bing Kingdom. She was also the only mother he had in the human world.
When the prince Wu Yang stood against his father and the entire palace because of a marriage arrangement, only his mother supported him.
That mother took off the jade hairpin from her head and handed it to Wu Yang, her eyes gentle yet firm. “This is a token of love that every monarch of Yu Wei has given to the future queen. Today, I bestow it upon you. Whom you choose to give it to is entirely your decision. Being a crown prince is already arduous; all I wish for my child is to spend their life with someone they truly love.”
“This is...”
Wuyang wanted to explain, but he suddenly stopped. He realized that he seemed to be afraid of Xingwan misunderstanding him. He had always been free-spirited and didn't care about other people's opinions, but now he was worried for some reason he couldn't even understand himself.
After a moment of silence, Wuyang decided to change the subject, "There's a grand ceremony today. Why didn't you stay there and come here instead"
"The ceremony is over, I'm here to play with you. WuYang, do you want to admire the beautiful scenery of our LingQi mountain"
"No!"
"I knew it," Xing Wan said, unconcerned by Wu Yang's coldness. She threw a yellow talisman at him, landing on his body, and sneered, "Haha, puppet talisman!"
Wu Yang stood with her hands clasped in front of her chest, and said coldly, "Can you be any more shameless"
"Can't people be any more boring!" Xing Wan took out a mask and put it on Wu Yang, striking a smug pose, she beckoned with her fingers, "Let's go!"
No matter how unwilling Wu Yang was, the talisman still worked, making him obediently follow Xing Wan's pace.
But he didn't know that this day, Qianshan Festival, was also Xing Wan's birthday. A thousand years ago, on the Qianshan Festival, Xing Wan's master, Jing Ren Tian Shen, brought the infant Xing Wan back to Ling Qi Mountain.
After that, the two grandchildren decided to celebrate Xing Wan's birthday on the hottest day of the year in this mountain, allowing Pu "Shan" to join them in the celebration.
Since Xing Wan joined the sect, Bei Chen would always take Mo Qian and Bo An with him to reinforce the seal of Ming Jiantai after every sacrificial ceremony, leaving Ling Xuan to accompany Xing Wan. But this year, Ling Xuan suddenly developed feelings for Xing Wan's male celestial companion, choosing the latter over Xing Wan.
"Wow, this girl is such a flirt!"
Xing Wan Ji's master gave her the name "Ling Xuan," meaning "aspiration to soar above the clouds." Unbeknownst to him, his own disciple's ambition was to find a brother-in-law for herself!
Since Xing Wan was so bored being alone, she decided to have Wu Yang accompany her for a stroll.
Since it's a festive occasion, why not celebrate with fellow brothers and sisters
Wu Yang, who was accustomed to tranquility, walked into a bustling stone-paved street late at night. This unfamiliar liveliness made him feel quite uncomfortable.
"They..." Xing Wan held a bag of candied fruit in her hand, just biting into one, mumbling with her mouth full, "They all have important things to do!"
One must protect one's own younger sister, even if it involves matters of personal desire. Such things should never be spread. As for the Mingjingtái incident, it is a matter of great importance that must be kept secret throughout the three realms. After all, it holds a unique prisoner.
Just 20,000 years after the Demon God was slain, the Three Realms once again experienced a world-ending cataclysm. The cause was that the ruler of the Demon Realm, Ming Hong Shang Shen, secretly cultivated the power of "Chaos," and resurrected half of the ancient demonic soldiers within the Wuwang Sea. He repeatedly attacked the Celestial Clan.
The Almighty was helpless against him, so he summoned the two remaining ancient gods of the time to help: Zhì Kòng, the master of Master Xing Wǎn, and Jìng Rén, their ancestor. Together, they sealed Míng Hóng in the Qisha Forbidden Land, Míng Jìngtái, on Línqǐ Mountain.
Over the years, with the passing of Zhi Kong and Jing Ren, the seal on Ming Jiantai has gradually weakened. To prevent anyone in the Three Realms from harboring malicious intentions, Bei Chen quietly moved Ming Jiantai to a new location. Only the Heavenly Emperor and their five disciples know this secret.
Strengthening the seal of Mingjiantai is a very energy-consuming and ineffective task for cultivation. This is also why Beichen, despite being in his prime with powerful divine power, appears haggard and weary.
Thinking about this, Xingwan grabbed another handful of candied fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. Keeping a secret was really hard work!ars as she took a few steps forward and embraced Bei Chen, crying out: "Master, I don't want to leave! I can't bear to part from you... I still want to stay by your side and be filial..."A wail tore...
