Chapter 1 We are not from the same world(1/2)
There are bursts of music in my ears.
The beauty in front of me is sitting upright.
The sound of the piano is pleasant and melodious, just like the water in the mountain stream, flowing slowly, and like rain falling on loquat leaves, with a hint of melancholy.
She was so beautiful that she could eclipse everything else. But she was also very quiet. She only focused on playing the piano from beginning to end and never uttered a single word.
And she is Xu Ze’s wife——
Gu Wanqing.
This is a woman of unrivaled splendor. Not only does she have a refined appearance, but her talent is unparalleled. She is also a saint of the Taoist Sect, and is known as having the appearance of an empress.
On the other hand, Xu Ze?
Well, they are just ordinary monks you can see everywhere...
The reason why the two became husband and wife is because they were childhood sweethearts and were engaged by their parents since childhood.
There is no bloody plot about breaking off the engagement, there is no thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.
Some, it’s just the parents’ orders, the matchmaker’s words, and mutual love.
Once upon a time, the two expressed their true feelings to each other.
Once upon a time, the two were inseparable.
Once upon a time, the two of them laughed happily.
But now it is...
Relatively speechless.
If the sound of the piano did not exist, there would be only suffocating silence.
When did such a change begin?
Xu Ze thought secretly.
Yes, because it was three years ago.
Three years ago, the two of them joined the Taoist Sect together.
Gu Wanqing's absolute talent, coupled with a hint of imperial origin in her body, attracted the Supreme Elder of the Holy Sect to personally come forward to accept a disciple.
But Xu Ze barely passed the test and became a disciple of an unknown elder from the outer sect.
That day.
Under the stars and the moon, Gu Wanqing smiled happily and beautifully.
But how happy she was, how lonely Xu Ze's figure was.
"It's okay! When I gain the throne one day and become a female emperor, I will protect my husband for the rest of his life!" Gu Wanqing said afterward.
In this regard, Xu Ze could only smile bitterly.
And facts prove that people will change.
Either he was influenced by the people around him or he noticed the gap.
Gu Wanqing's attitude gradually became colder. Although they were in the same sect, the number of meetings between the two became less and less.
From once a day at the beginning, to once every few months, and once a year.
Xu Ze suddenly discovered.
I don’t know when it started.
When the two met, he was talking most of the time and Gu Wanqing was listening.
I don’t know when it started.
Gu Wanqing has become less fond of smiling, at least in front of him, and has not shown a smile for a long time.
I don’t even know when it will start.
Gu Wanqing no longer calls him "husband", but directly calls him by his first name.
Such changes made Xu Ze heartbroken, but he was helpless.
He blamed himself as a time traveler and his talent was so low that he didn’t even have a golden finger.
He blamed himself for being unable to keep up with Gu Wanqing's footsteps no matter how hard he tried.
But he did not give up, but practiced harder and continued...
Three hundred and eighty years!
Yes, it’s three hundred and eighty years! But it’s not this life, but the previous life!
Xu Ze was reborn, back to today more than three hundred years ago.
In the last life, in order to chase Gu Wanqing's back, in order to make himself worthy of his wife.
He has worked hard for three hundred and eighty years.
In three hundred and eighty years, he had not even seen Gu Wanqing a few times, but he never gave up.
He wants to prove himself.
I want to tell the world one day that he is Gu Wanqing’s husband.
But...
Useless.
This world is very unfair.
Some people are born as geniuses, and making breakthroughs through cultivation is like drinking tea and drinking water.
Some people are mediocre in talent, but no matter how hard they work, they will never be able to escape the shackles of their talent...
Undoubtedly, Xu Ze belongs to the latter.
There are three levels and twelve levels of cultivation in this world, which are:
The four basic realms: body tempering, spiritual absorption, energy strength, and sea opening
The four realms of Tongtian: Yuan Dan, Dao Palace, Creation, and Supernatural Power
The Four Realms of Proving Emperor: Heavenly Man, Heavenly Lord, Saint, Great Emperor
Each realm is divided into four smaller realms: front, middle, back, and peak.
After joining the Taoist Sect.
It took Xu Ze ten years to break through from Pihai to Yuandan. But by that time, Gu Wanqing had already reached the level of cultivation.
It took Xu Ze another hundred years to finally reach the magical realm of the four realms of Tongtian, but by that time, Gu Wanqing was already a saint.
The difference in talent between the two can be described as a huge chasm.
But Xu Ze is not despairing, at least he is making progress, right?
After tens of thousands of years of not revealing the path to immortality, this world's great emperor has reached the pinnacle.
He believes that as long as he works hard, he will be able to stand by Gu Wanqing's side one day!
But there is a saying that goes like this.
Things went counterproductive.
His cultivation is stuck in the late stage of the magical power realm! No matter how much time he spends or how he practices, he will never be able to make even half a step forward!
In this way, more than two hundred years have passed.
Suddenly, one day.
The sun rises and falls, the light from the sky covers it, and the golden light builds a divine bridge.
Witnessed by hundreds of millions of living beings, Gu Wanqing, dressed in the red dress of the empress, stood high in the sky. She crossed the sacred bridge and finally sat on the throne, looking down at all living beings.
Beside her is the auspicious cloud and auspicious beast.
Behind her is the guardian saint general.
The clothes on her body were so bright that they seemed to saturate the entire sky.
She is still very beautiful, her beauty is enough to eclipse all things, and the world is eclipsed by her.
This made Xu Ze stunned and knew it.
Gu Wanqing became emperor.
The old vows still ring in her ears, but the person standing next to her is not herself...
And just after the empress ascended the throne and demonstrated her imperial power.
After a long time, Gu Wanqing's voice sounded in Xu Ze's ears again.
Her voice is still so beautiful, but it is also mixed with majesty and indifference.
She said:
To be continued...
