Immortal Mystery Sequence: I Establish a Divine Duty for Heaven and Earth

Chapter 87 Why Did the Ancient Immortal Lose Her Blood? Even a Day as Husband and Wife Brings a Hundred Days of Kindness! (Eighth Update, Please Subscribe!)

Deep within the glacier, high above the crystal platform.

The surrounding area was covered in a white, frosty mist, resembling a magnificent palace cast in crystal. A white-clad, snow-white fairy figure stood amidst it, appearing exceptionally serene and solitary.

Gu Shexian frowned, her eyes gleaming. The dust of ages swept away, and in an instant, decades of vicissitudes in her life, the loving past of husband and wife, all seemed like a dream, returning to their original state with her tribulations.

On their wedding night, adorned in phoenix coronet and embroidered robes, amidst flickering candlelight, they shared a passionate night.

The couple was deeply in love, their relationship as sweet as honey, and they lived in perfect harmony.

Feeding fish on the porch and playing with each other in the courtyard.

He diligently spread the word in the fertile underground fields.

All these things, each and every one of them, are but fleeting glimpses, yet they are all clearly visible to the mind.

Following closely behind were the past experiences of the twenty-six generations who had endured trials in the mortal world.

Whether it's the bloodshed and battles of the martial world, the glory and disgrace of the Taoist sect, the joys and sorrows of killing monsters and seeking revenge, or the enlightenment of the mortal world and the retreat from the Tao, all these stories are brought back to their rightful place. Some even have a past as the Gu She Immortal who received the inheritance.

All the key secrets of the "Immortal Path" he cultivated have returned to their rightful place, like rivers flowing into the sea and birds returning to their nests.

Looking back on my lifetimes of cultivation, I have now lived through twenty-seven lifetimes, a total of two thousand four hundred and forty years of cultivation.

Having successfully completed her first twenty-six incarnations, she has now attained the cultivation of the ninth realm of immortality, "Red Dust Tribulation Waves," which is roughly equivalent to the current cultivation level of someone who has completed five rounds of Daoist initiation and is at the beginning of six rounds of Daoist initiation.

If placed in the prosperous era of immortals before the collapse of the heavens 30,000 years ago, he would be considered a first-rate cultivator who had entered the inner sanctum. Many cultivators who had cultivated for six or seven thousand years had only reached this level of cultivation.

She originally thought that the twenty-seventh life, the "marriage tribulation," would be the easiest one to overcome.

A karmic entanglement is nothing more than a mundane love affair; once you see through it, you can let it go.

It will be done in at most twenty years!

At that time, she will be able to successfully break through the tenth realm, "Undying Before Gods," reaching the pinnacle of cultivation unparalleled in the human world, surpassing even the strongest cultivators who have received the Dao six times, truly standing at the pinnacle of eternity, transcending the mortal realm and entering sainthood.

Her master failed in this realm of tribulation, and then his Dao heart was destroyed, leading to his death.

Therefore, she learned from her mistake and saved the easiest "marriage tribulation" for now—but not only did she waste nearly sixty years in vain, she actually failed in the end?!

She remained silent for a long time, the glacial land was completely silent, and as she pondered the past, she became more and more confused.

The identity of Zhou Ning'e in this life was finally confirmed by her through repeated investigation of cause and effect and deduction of the future in the mortal world.

It is the best experience to undergo the "marriage tribulation" in the mortal body.

She spent countless hours and painstakingly tracing countless causes and conditions before finally finding the destiny of the Zhou family.

Zhou Ning'e was born into a wealthy family and was pampered from a young age, never having to lift a finger.

Even with her innate wisdom and intelligence as a fairy from the Gusha Mountains, she would still inevitably experience all the hardships of the human world.

Her father, Zhou Shengshui, had such difficulty conceiving that the Zhou family line almost died out. He desperately wanted to find a son-in-law to continue the family line for her, but it was later discovered that Zhou Ning'e was unable to have children for life due to poor fetal development.

Taking in a son-in-law to continue the family line only made her a hopeless and infatuated woman, adding insult to injury.

After that, Zhou Shengshui became depressed and neglected his family affairs. Zhou Ning'e herself was a femme fatale, as her beauty would bring great disaster to the Zhou family!

At the age of seventeen, he took charge of the family business. While traveling to do business, he attracted the attention of a lecherous Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest forced Zhou Ning'e to marry him when she was nineteen, and killed her father, Zhou Shengshui, before taking over the Zhou family.

On her wedding night, she would recover some of her cultivation, kill the Taoist with whom she had a deep-seated blood feud, and then hang herself, leaving behind a pure reputation in the world.

From this point on, one can easily overcome the "marriage tribulation," see through love and affection, sever ties with one's spouse, kill one's enemies, and end worldly ties.

All in one go!

The series of events involving Zhou Ning'e and the Zhou family were all predetermined by fate and could not be changed.

That's exactly how it should be!

What went wrong?

As Gu Shexian was pondering in confusion, she suddenly felt a strange, sharp pain coming from below her body, and her whole body inexplicably felt weak and powerless, as if she had been bullied and was completely powerless to fight back.

It was as if it was constantly reminding her that all the fleeting images she had seen before were not just a dream, but something that had actually happened!

Tick, tick.

The scattered red petals, like plum blossoms in bloom, spread from the hem of her white dress. She looked down, and her fair face, as white as snow, showed not only shyness but also a hint of surprise and disbelief.

It's alright if the cause and effect are disrupted during this lifetime's tribulations.

After returning to her place, she—she—she had also lost her own body?!

There's no way around it; although the person undergoing tribulation is a reincarnation, the two are actually the same person!

The truth about chastity cannot be updated at midnight —

The losses for the twenty-seventh generation are far too great! Isn't it like losing both the wife and the army?!

Not only did her destined marriage fail, but she also sacrificed her purity and innocence, which she had upheld for over two thousand years?!

What exactly happened?!

She tried to calm herself down, and as she carefully reviewed her past lives, she became increasingly bewildered and confused.

She remembered that, in order to successfully undergo the tribulation, she transferred the karma of the original Zhou Ning'e to another place and promised that person a good life. She herself took the place of the original Zhou Ning'e and was reborn into the Zhou family to undergo the tribulation.

It should have been foolproof—but unexpectedly, this "marriage tribulation" was passed completely wrong!

It wasn't exactly the same as she had originally expected; in fact, it was completely unrelated.

Zhou the wealthy man should have been killed by the lecherous Taoist priest, but he lived a long and healthy life, enjoying the lifespan of a celestial being. Just when he was about to die peacefully in his old age, Zhou the wealthy man suffered a devastating disaster in his fifties, but he still managed to survive!

She was supposed to meet the lecherous Taoist priest at seventeen and be forced to marry him at nineteen, but she married a country farmer at the tender age of sixteen!

She enjoyed a happy marriage for the rest of her life, living in perfect harmony with her husband, and experiencing a mortal marriage that she had never experienced in more than twenty lifetimes.

In her thirties, she did show business acumen and began to forcibly alter her destiny and karma, which indeed led to her being entangled with a lecherous Taoist priest.

And then, that was it.

She was supposed to be a lecherous Taoist priest undergoing tribulation, but her mortal husband casually killed her?! And then, he even took her place and officially became the ruler of Yingfeng City?!

What the heck is going on?!

She couldn't understand it, she really couldn't understand it!

The dignified Immortal Gushe, who meticulously planned and calculated cause and effect over a hundred years to choose her destined marriage tribulation, has had her life completely disrupted by a country farmer?!

No, this is absolutely wrong!

She gestured with her hand, and light and shadow flickered within her sleeve as she meowed.

A plump orange cat landed in my palm.

She said calmly, "You have always been by my side throughout this life, protecting me and guarding against my tribulations. Why have you never corrected the causes and effects? Why have you never brought the tribulations of marriage into my life, instead living this life smoothly?!"

The orange cat looked at her, tilting its head with an innocent expression.

me?

Do you want to listen to what you're saying? You're asking a cat a question!

The fairy Gu She was in perfect harmony with it and could naturally sense its grievances.

It did try to correct cause and effect, but cause and effect had been in disarray since the wedding day, a complete mess.

The subsequent death of Rong Yidao is further irrefutable evidence. It should have been Zhou Ning'e who personally killed the Taoist to overcome her marital tribulation, but Jiang Tu beat her to it!

From then on, cause and effect became completely chaotic and could not be repaired.

"That's enough!"

The fairy Gu She put it into her sleeve.

This cat is not actually a celestial pet, but rather a unique magical artifact passed down to her by her master, the previous generation of Gu She Immortal, before she failed in her tribulation and passed away. It is called "Descending Star" and can accompany her through reincarnation and tribulations, protecting her from the side.

Her ability to descend to the stars is also limited. When protecting her, she can only correct cause and effect to a certain extent and help her cross over, but she cannot completely defy fate.

Gu Shexian rubbed her fair brow, increasingly puzzled.

What exactly happened?

Where did this worldly husband of hers come from? How could he suddenly disrupt her long-planned marriage? There had never been any major problems before, but now this unexpected twist has appeared!

Wait a minute—where did this agricultural cultivation sequence in the world come from?!

To be honest, this transformation of cause and effect in this lifetime was not only due to this strange husband who appeared out of nowhere, but also to the sudden emergence of the agricultural path sequence in the world. There had been no related cause and effect before, as if it appeared out of nowhere!

There were no records of any past lives, nor any warnings, yet in this life they suddenly appeared—

The cause and effect of the world have been thrown into chaos by the powerful birth of this agricultural path sequence, and it is no longer what it used to be.

Her marital misfortune was nothing more than a sacrifice.

Swish swish.

Gu Shexian's hands flew up and down, forming mysterious hand seals, and her red lips moved as she uttered words of Taoist incantations.

The ancient Daoist rhythms gathered and surged, vast and boundless, with ceaseless waves!

Swish swish!

Light and shadow intertwine, the Daoist principles sweep across the heavens, and wisps of cause and effect drift and flicker.

She followed the trail and searched, but no matter how she searched, she only found that all the causes and effects originated from her strange, worldly husband!

Starting with him, every aspect of the cause and effect of agriculture in the world is inseparable from him!

However, if one were to delve deeper into the cause and effect of the young husband's actions, it would be shrouded in mystery, and no trace could be found!

"My little husband—he is actually the originator of the agricultural system in the world. He created the agricultural system for the world?!"

How did he do that? Even the causal immortal techniques of our Gushe Immortal Sect are beyond his comprehension!

She stared blankly as the fragments of cause and effect dissipated, her heart filled with a mix of emotions.

Having cultivated for over two thousand years, she is actually quite detached and has never cared about worldly love or affection.

But now, because of the karmic connection between husband and wife in this life, even if she didn't want to get involved, she was already deeply involved—after thinking it over, she wasn't too angry and gradually accepted it.

After all, in her memory, her husband had treated her very well. If he had done anything wrong, she would be furious that he had defiled her and severed her cultivation, and she feared he would come to take revenge, possibly even taking her life.

But upon closer reflection, her husband was truly good to her. There was no sense of indebtedness or disobedience between them, and their relationship was remarkably harmonious and tacit.

It makes sense. Even if she were reincarnated, she would still carry many lingering regrets from her previous life. Although she is indifferent, she is also very principled. No one could possibly make her accept a husband she doesn't want or like.

But acceptance does not mean agreement.

"Could it be that my little husband also sensed that I am an ancient immortal, bearing the legacy of the ancient immortal path for ten thousand years, and thus deliberately chose me as his wife? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why I would form such a bond with him—"

"But over the years, he has never noticed anything unusual about me. He even tried again and again to get me to learn his unique farming method. He has been quite sincere and kind to me. Oh well, after all, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness."

"It's a pity that I am a fairy from Gushe, whose lifelong pursuit is to undergo tribulations and reincarnations to seek the path to immortality and attain eternal life. Our marriage ends here! I must not have any more delusions in the future, otherwise I will be letting down my master's teachings. My little husband, it's best if we never see each other again after this parting."

"If you disrupt my cultivation again in the next life, I will certainly not forgive you!"

The failure of her "marriage tribulation" not only prevented her from making any progress in her cultivation in this life, but also caused her to suffer a significant decline in the cultivation she had painstakingly undergone in her previous lives!

What's even more infuriating is that after failing this trial, she could no longer overcome the "marriage tribulation" obstacle.

With this one less tribulation in the thirty-three tribulations, she has completely lost any chance of reaching the thirteenth realm and achieving immortality in this lifetime.

It's all because of my husband's meddling!

In her helplessness and melancholy, she suddenly realized that her cultivation had not regressed significantly and remained firmly at the ninth level, as stable as Mount Tai.

Not only that, but she seemed to have gained something else in a daze!

What was gained was not an increase in spiritual level, but was extremely profound!

Swish!

With a wave of her hand, she caused the glacier to tremble, and grasses and trees sprouted from beneath the ice, spreading out in a verdant expanse, followed by a profusion of flowers blooming, bringing life to the icy world.

Swish, swish, snap!

With a flick of her finger, numerous flowers and herbs condensed and transformed into a crystal-clear medicinal liquid, instantly forming a pill. The pill, held between her fingers, was exceptionally lustrous and exuded a fragrant aroma. She had actually mastered the pill-making technique from the Agricultural Herbalist's Manual!

Not only that!

She could effortlessly perform a variety of agricultural spells, such as Earth-Shaking Technique, Earth Escape Technique, Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers, and Dragon Root Technique, demonstrating her profound understanding of the arts.

this----

"What's going on?! Could it be that my husband's years of dedicated teaching and guidance have truly paid off?!"

"But I am originally a fairy from Gusha, bearing the inheritance of the ancient immortal path. How could I learn the agricultural arts? It has been a natural law that different paths cannot coexist in this world! Could it be that the new path of agricultural arts and my old path are compatible and interconnected?!"

She could roughly deduce that her young husband, Jiang Tu, must be hiding a secret concerning the very origin of the Great Dao.

They have intricate connections with her Gushe Immortal Sect and should not be underestimated!
