2084 Before Its Owner Aged
A thousand years had passed.
The lower worlds.
Outside a blue star, two figures stood in the vast void.
It was a man and a woman.
The man had black hair and purple robes. His face was handsome and his eyes were deep, as though they could see through the secrets of Heaven and Earth. Although he did not move, he had the aura of a lord looking down on the world!
The woman was elegant and beautiful with skin as fair as snow.
She wore a pale yellow robe.
The robe was a little old and its color had even slightly faded to white. However, it could not conceal the dignified and graceful aura of the woman.
The man and woman stood in midair. From afar, they looked like an immortal couple.
For the past thousand years, Su Zimo brought Ji Yaoxue around many minor chiliocosms and saw many novel civilizations, various living beings and fascinating structures…
Each time the two of them arrived at a minor chiliocosm, they would choose to integrate into it and transform into the appearances of natives to experience various lifestyles.
Even after a thousand years, the two of them had not explored all the billion minor chiliocosms.
However, the two of them had seen and experienced too much in the past thousand years. It was novel and interesting to try out different lives.
The only thing that did not change was that the two of them were always together.
In a minor chiliocosm, Ji Yaoxue saw a civilization that was completely different from Tianhuang Mainland.
In that minor chiliocosm, humans were still weak. However, technology was extremely advanced and they controlled all sorts of large mechas to fight against various ferocious beasts.
With Su Zimo’s help, Ji Yaoxue managed to infiltrate the community with ease and attempted to control those massive and clumsy mechas to fight alongside other humans.
That was an unprecedented experience.
It was a civilization that had never been seen before either.
Everything was new and interesting.
In another minor chiliocosm, it was the world of magic.
This was another cultivation civilization that was different from the immortal, Buddhist, fiend and martial Daos.
In that small chiliocosm, there were all sorts of mages who could control the four elements of water, fire, wind and earth to condense all sorts of powerful magic!
Those magic had different types such as fire, frost, thunder, darkness, spatial…
When cultivated to their limits, each of them could topple mountains and overturn seas, shaking the world!
Some of the magic could even synthesize rocks into gold.
In that minor chiliocosm, Ji Yaoxue became a female mage. Although she did not understand the Dao of magic, she could make use of Dharmic arts to deceive everyone…
No matter what went wrong, Su Zimo would always take care of it.
Some minor chiliocosms cultivated Battle Qi while others were filled with sword cultivators…
There were also some minor chiliocosms that had almost no cultivation civilization.
For example, there was almost no cultivation civilization on the blue star not far away from the two of them.
Even if there were, the cultivators on this star had extremely low cultivation realms.
In fact, there were very few people who managed to form a core.
Su Zimo and Ji Yaoxue lived on this blue star for a period of time and even joined a college similar to the cultivation sects of Tianhuang Mainland.
However, the schools on this star did not impart any cultivation Dharmic formulations, but all sorts of knowledge.
There were many moving iron chests on the star that could contain many people.
Although the humans on this star could not fly on their own, they thought of various methods and developed many tools to help them soar in the skies.
Here, the most mysterious thing was a little messenger object.
Even if they were thousands of kilometers apart, two people could converse right away as though they were facing one another.
On this star, the two of them were like a couple or bosom buddies. They enjoyed a pure love as they experienced this unique civilization and the emotions of mortals.
“The Spirit Qi here is too thin,”
Ji Yaoxue looked at the blue star. “With such thin Spirit Qi, it’s almost impossible to cultivate even if there are any Dharmic formulations. It’s only logical that this star would develop such a civilization.”
Su Zimo nodded. “However, in the history of this star, there was an era with rich Spirit Qi around hundreds of millions of years ago known as the Cambrian Period.”
“From that period onwards, because of the rich Spirit Qi, the life on this star welcomed a big bang and gave birth to all sorts of living beings. Among them, there was no lack of gigantic and violent ferocious beasts.”
Su Zimo and Ji Yaoxue learned this knowledge from the schools on this star.
“However, due to a huge catastrophe, almost all the living beings on this star went extinct and the Spirit Qi gradually dried up.”
“As the Spirit Qi thinned, the bodies of many living beings shrank gradually and eventually became like this.”
Su Zimo paused for a moment. “However, in this land called China, there seemed to be some extraordinary cultivators who left traces in the pre-Qin era.”
“Actually, it’s good to live here,”
Ji Yaoxue smiled. “Although there’s no cultivation civilization here, there’s no threat from other living ferocious beasts either.”
“That’s right,”
Su Zimo smiled and nodded as well. “If there’s no other threats, it’s indeed not bad to live on this star.”
Su Zimo had different implications when he referred to other threats.
In the history of this star, there was an almost apocalyptic catastrophe after the Cambrian Period’s big bang.
Many scholars on this star had various guesses.
Actually, in Su Zimo’s opinion, that catastrophe was most likely because an expert broke through the seal of the worlds and descended here. The release of Dharmic arts and divine powers destroyed this minor chiliocosm.
“Desolate Martial wishes to establish a Dao and impart martial arts to all living beings!”
Ji Yaoxue smiled. “Why don’t you leave the inheritance of the Martial Dao on this star? Perhaps one day, when the Spirit Qi here recovers, it will welcome a grand era where the Martial Dao flourishes.”
Su Zimo pondered for a moment. “Alright.”
He touched his glabella gently and flicked his finger. A purple light streaked through the void like a meteor and landed on the blue star.
“I wonder who will be the fated person,”
Ji Yaoxue had a faint smile on her face.
The two of them stood side by side and looked at the blue star in silence.
“Zimo,”
A long time later, Ji Yaoxue suddenly called out softly.
“Why?”
Su Zimo looked over.
Ji Yaoxue lowered her head slightly and said softly, “I’m tired.”
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.
Even after a thousand years, Ji Yaoxue’s cultivation had not broken through.
This also meant that she did not have much lifespan left.
For some unknown reason, after a thousand years, Ji Yaoxue’s face did not show any signs of aging, just like when they first met.
However, her lifespan was coming to an end.
Su Zimo looked at Ji Yaoxue and his eyes reddened. He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something.
However, he felt extremely terrible but could not say anything.
The pale yellow robe that Ji Yaoxue was wearing was already very old. However, she had never changed and was still wearing it.
Ji Yaoxue did not mention the reason and no one else could understand.
Su Zimo was the only one who knew that this robe was personally refined for Ji Yaoxue back in the capital of Great Zhou.
In the blink of an eye, 5,000 years had passed.
Ji Yaoxue had always kept this robe by her side and had not abandoned it.
Before its owner aged, the clothing had already lost its shade.
