Maybe he was used to loneliness. But one day, Da Yi finally took in a wife.
Shen Lian’s first impression of Da Yi’s wife was how was it possible for such a beautiful person to exist in this world. His second thoughts on her were her terrifyingly deep cultivation experience.
If Da Yi was the most majestic mountain that was not crossable, this woman’s cultivation experience was like the vast sea that had no end to it.
Without a doubt, Shen Lian determined that her state was at least above of Taiyi and had progressed further in cultivation compared to himself.
Shen Lian could not make sense of why a person like her would want to marry Da Yi. After all, she would have her own pride and she was one of the darlings of the essence of the universe. Why would she want to get married and be bonded to something?
But what really moved Shen Lian was that this woman’s cultivation seemed to be related to time. In fact, she reminded him of the Code of the Bright Moon of one the hundred and eight methods of Qing Xuan.
The Code of the Bright Moon took on the way of Taiyin, also known as the way of moon, and its highest level was related to the profoundness of time. Among them, the Ultimate Knife of Taiyin had infinite power but no one had yet to cultivate it to such levels.
The woman’s state was higher than the limits of the Code of the Bright Moon but they were of similar nature.
Perhaps it was because she was involved with the profoundness of time, every time Shen Lian looked at her, he felt that she was also looking back at him.
It was an indescribable feeling, just like finally meeting another human after long hours of walking in the desert. Even if it was just a mirage, it was still exciting.
At the same time, Shen Lian found out her name. She was Heng’e, her father was the most powerful person on earth. Everything below the sun and moon was ruled by him.
Da Yi was the strongest man and Heng’e was the noblest woman in the world. Shen Lian predicted that this was the reason why they got together.
Shen Lian was able to associate them with the legend of Hou Yi and Chang’e. However, Da Yi and Heng’e were way more powerful than what was recorded in the myth. At least, the Heng’e in the literature did not have such deeply unpredictable cultivation experience.
Besides Lingbao Tianzun, Shen Lian was not able to find someone who was more powerful than Heng’e in his entire lifetime.
There were times where he suspected that Heng’e could pull him out from this strange state but she did not do anything. Of course, Shen Lian could not see the intimate moments of Heng’e and Da Yi as it seemed that she blocked out his senses during those times.
This reaffirmed his theory that Heng’e could see him.
Years later, Da Yi had become more gentle and homely. He rarely went hunting after getting married.
Shen Lian became more lonely. He thought things would be different when Heng’e discovered him. But nothing had changed since and he was still a lonely spirit whom no one spoke too neither could he speak to anyone. In fact, he realized that his mobility had decreased along with time.
He knew that if he did not make any changes, he could turn into a thoughtless rock and fall into eternal loneliness.
Shen Lian also knew that the opportunity for change must come from Heng’e. This was because she was the only person who noticed him. Sometimes, Shen Lian was so desperate that he would rather be caught by Heng’e than to suffer in this hell-like torture.
If it was him in the past, he would never have such depressing thoughts. But the Sun Vanquishing Arrow had crushed the state of mind that Shen Lian was so proud of, causing his celestial heart to fade away and his humanly desires started to rise.
Shen Lian’s opportunity was finally here. One day, a teenage boy came from the west. Shen Lian was surprised that this boy’s face somewhat looked similar to Yunyang. But he did not have the same charisma as Yunyang.
The teenage boy felt more like the cloudless autumn clear sky, high up and crystal clear. But it was hard to tell how high up nor how clear it was.
In other words, the cultivation experience of the teenage boy was about the same level as Heng’e.
Shen Lian was aware that if he wanted to achieve such level in cultivation, he would need years of experiences and opportunities.
It seemed that the teenage boy could see Shen Lian. When the boy sneakily smiled at Shen Lian, he felt a sudden chill down his spine and that froze his divine thoughts.
Fortunately, at the very moment, someone called out to the boy, “Xuanqi, please come in.”
The tone of the voice was cold and felt distant like the moon but it dispelled the chills in Shen Lian’s mind. At the same time, Shen Lian felt that his divine thoughts had regained some agility and his mobility too improved slightly.
The teenage boy’s name was Xuanqi. This name reminded Shen Lian of the White Emperor Shaohao. Reason being, Shaohao was also known as Xuanqi and the White Emperor’s son Yunyang looked somewhat similar to this boy.
Since Da Yi and Heng’e existed here, it was not too far-fetched to associate the White Emperor to the discourse.
But Heng’e was able to notice Shen Lian because she specialized in the cultivation of time. Shen Lian wondered how come this teenage boy whom he suspected was the White Emperor, was to be able to notice him.
Shen Lian cast his doubt aside. He followed behind the teenage boy and entered the residence of Heng’e and Da Yi.
Considering that Heng’e helped him with her voice earlier, Shen Lian concluded that she would not destroy him. Even if she wanted to do so, she could have done it earlier. He had no choice and mustered up his courage and walked in.
Moreover, Shen Lian was not the kind of person who would passively wait for death to come upon him. That was never his style.
It seemed that Da Yi was not home. Heng’e walked out from layers of muslin curtains and called for Xuanqi while ignoring Shen Lian.
Xuanqi was no longer bothered by Shen Lian. He looked at Heng’e and said, “Sister, it’s been a while.”
Heng’e responded, “Tell me what is it. You would never come and if nothing was bothering you.”
Xuanqi smiled, “Then I will not beat around the bush. Well, you know our father is the Lord of the human race, and I am his most outstanding son. But my bloodline was not of pure human race and because of that, I would never have the chance to take on that position of our father. That’s why I was looking for other alternatives but there were so many roadblocks. I really hope that you can help me.”
“How can I help you? You should know that although my cultivation experience is above everyone else but if we were to fight, I am easily defeated. Moreover, I do not like violence,” Heng’e frowned slightly.
“Yes, I know that you do not like violence but my brother-in-law is different. I am certain no one is not afraid of brother-in-law’s mystical arrow. He is the only person who can help me and naturally, no one else would be able to stop me,” Xuanqi replied.
“It is not happening. He had promised me to stay away from any forms of combat. You should not expect me to convince him to help you and you should also not expect him to help you,” Heng’e said with disapproval.
