Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

Modern times, the capital city—

December marks the beginning of winter.

Winters in the north are always bitterly cold.

However, in recent years, the weather has changed and it has been generally warmer, so the winters in the capital are no longer as frosty as they were thirty years ago.

The flowers, plants, and trees in the palace courtyard were all withered and dead.

Only the evergreen vegetation remains as green as spring.

Inside the ornately decorated house, rays of warm sunlight streamed through the openwork windows, warming the heart.

A warm breeze blew through the room. The Empress sat gracefully at her desk, dressed in a cloud-patterned palace gown, looking beautiful and dignified.

On her desk lay the original novel of "The Legend of Luna," and on the iPad screen in front of her, an animated series was playing.

She had read the original novel many times, but Empress Jiang also found the art form of animation interesting.

Therefore, like many ordinary people, she has been watching the show.

"The Confucian method of self-cultivation."

Empress Jiang Zhi had a strong curiosity about the Confucian cultivation techniques that complemented the dynasty's destiny.

She cultivated the method of governing the dynasty, and even reached the pinnacle of this method, forging a supreme Dao weapon unique to her.

However, Jiang Zhi became Empress during the middle stage of the Immortal Path.

If we consider the Immortal Path as an era, then the era she lived in was approximately 600,000 years ago.

The Chu Kingdom, where the Moon Goddess resides, was roughly 800,000 years old in the Immortal Path, a difference of 200,000 years between the two.

These timelines are a historical timeline compiled by Jiang Zhi after collecting information on almost all the reincarnated beings of the various Xia states.

However, there are no such records from the true era of immortality.

At that time, the cultivation world was divided into four realms, each with a complex history. To cross the star river to another realm, one needed to be a cultivator at least at the third level.

Even a Taiqing Realm cultivator can only live for a maximum of ten thousand years.

No one has the leisure or the ability to become a historian and compile a vast history of cultivation in the four realms.

In other words, since many powerful beings have been reincarnated from different eras, Jiang Zhi was able to roughly conclude that the immortal path spans millions of years through their oral accounts.

This was simply because she, as the emperor of the dynasty, habitually recorded history.

Empress Jiang pressed her slender fingers to her lips in thought.

As the reigning emperor who carried the destiny of the Xia dynasty, the Xia people had no secrets in her eyes.

Of course she knew that the King of Chu, Chu Jingshan, had been reincarnated and was now in the southern province of Guizhou.

If you want to learn about Confucian methods of self-cultivation, you can go to him.

But then, Jiang Zhi realized what she meant and smiled.

The Confucian sage who created the Confucian method of self-cultivation is right here, still a novice monk.

If she wanted to understand the Confucian methods of self-cultivation, why would she need to go to Chu Jingshan? That would be putting the cart before the horse.

Thinking of the little monk she longed for, Empress Jiang's expression was solemn and somewhat apprehensive.

She already knew that Qin Zijun had been reincarnated many times.

They also guessed that he had many female confidantes in his many reincarnations, and made preparations for it.

But when these female confidantes actually appeared, Jiang Zhi found herself still feeling a pang of jealousy.

No matter how magnanimous she is, or how much she has the mind of an empress, she is still a woman after all, and will have emotions unique to women.

In particular, the more she learned about Qin Zijun's life, the more complicated and worried she became.

Her young monk and she had only known each other for a little over ten years, during which time they were separated by the palace and the temple, and had almost no contact.

In "The Legend of the Moon Goddess," the Moon Goddess Wang Shu accompanied Qin Zijun throughout his entire life, his mortal life.

She witnessed how a twelve-year-old boy gradually became a scholar and rose to a high position.

then,

Watching him, with his unimaginable genius, become a saint.

Wang Shu was a witness, a participant, and a companion.

There's also Lou Guanxue, who spent an even longer time by her master's side, a full four thousand years!

Whenever she thought of this, Jiang Zhi felt restless.

But then,

Jiang Zhi couldn't help but laugh.

"The true nature of feelings cannot be expressed by time alone."

"The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water; some people spend very little time together, yet become lifelong friends."

"Feelings don't necessarily deepen with time spent together."

"Feelings are a touch of souls, a fusion of beliefs, not a matter of time. I understand all this, but when I actually experience it myself, I still get nervous and flustered."

The Empress was in a state of perfect tranquility and quickly calmed herself down.

then,

She thought of her beloved little monk again.

When she first met Qin Zijun in modern times, she felt that Qin Zijun's emotions were very detached and indifferent.

At that time, Jiang Zhi thought that Qin Zijun was still confused about the reincarnation situation and had not yet realized it, so she did not take it seriously.

But after learning more of Qin Zijun's secrets, she felt that something was wrong.

Qin Zijun was not a reincarnation of these powerful beings, but a modern person who transmigrated to the world of cultivation.

Secondly, Qin Zijun had been reincarnated multiple times before.

He didn't say exactly how many, but Jiang Zhi could guess that there were many, many of these reincarnations.

Jiang Zhi could even guess that the Qin Zijun she saw in her previous life was a reincarnation of his not long ago.

Qin Zijun was still very young and inexperienced back then, and her youthful spirit was very evident.

But Qin Zijun in "The Legend of the Moon Goddess" clearly shows his unusual nature.

Even Qin Zijun in "The Legend of the Moon Goddess" experienced life from childhood to adulthood, and he did what he was supposed to do at the age when he was supposed to be in his life.

But even if Qin Zijun tried to conceal it, one could still sense his unusual rationality and maturity, as well as his detached and transcendent attitude towards things.

Most people would assume that it was Qin Zijun's natural talent, but only those who know the inside story can understand why Qin Zijun has such talent.

Qin Zijun, reincarnated and returned to the modern world, possesses a distinctly otherworldly aura, as if she is about to become an 'immortal' at any moment.

As someone who also pursues the path of immortality, Jiang Zhi naturally didn't see anything wrong with it.

But the current Qin Zijun gives Jiang Zhi a sense of fear.

Is he still himself, with that detached attitude that seems to have seen through everything, lost all emotions, and is as if even his self is about to disappear?

"Little monk, do you understand your current mental state?"

"Or are you also in the midst of the mountain, thus unable to see everything?"

"Or perhaps, this is actually the right path?"

Jiang Zhi murmured softly, then smiled and said, "...But no matter what, I will stay with you."

"If you go down the wrong path, I will do everything in my power to pull you back in the right direction."

"If you are on the right path, I will silently bless you and follow in your footsteps, embarking on the same journey as you."

"You've been through so much; no one can understand your pain and sorrow."

"I couldn't do it in the past, Lou Guanxue couldn't do it, and neither could that Moon Goddess."

"But I will try my best so that my future self can understand your joy and your sorrow, and truly stay by your side, never to be separated again!"

Therefore,

She will fight as she always has, and will not give up even when facing the most powerful enemy.

She will fight for her own path to immortality!

……

Qiantang City, Donghu Villa —

Lou Guanxue watched the same episode of "The Legend of the Moon Goddess" in her villa.

She pursed her red lips, feeling somewhat wronged.

original,

I am not Master's only disciple.

original,

Master has taken in so many disciples.

Lou Guanxue suddenly burst into laughter, like a lotus flower blooming in the snow, captivating and stunning Jiang Churou who was standing beside her.

She seemed to see the fairy fall in love with mortals; every smile and frown was captivating, making the fairy seem even closer to her.

Lou Guanxue stood up and said to Jiang Churou beside her, "I'm going to see your grandmaster. You stay here and cultivate diligently."

Jiang Churou quickly straightened up and bowed: "Yes, Master!"

After Jiang Churou became Lou Guanxue's disciple, Lou Guanxue personally taught her the methods of sword cultivation.

The ideal is for a master to guide you through the door, but the rest is up to you to cultivate yourself.

Cultivating the Tao doesn't require a master to supervise you every day; it's enough to correct your practice every now and then.

But Jiang Churou still went to this Donghu Villa whenever she had free time.

There's no other reason than that the spiritual energy here is incredibly abundant.

One hour of practice here is equivalent to a whole day outside.

This made Jiang Churou quickly understand what a blessed land was.

I also understood why those major sects would fight tooth and nail for a blessed land.

As Lou Guanxue walked toward the nearby villa, she began to examine herself.

After learning that Master had reincarnated many times, wasn't I already prepared to meet Master's other disciples?

However, no matter how many disciples Master has, his life as 'Donghuang Taiyi' must be the most important one.

In that lifetime, he was his master's only personal disciple.

Therefore,

I still hold a special status, different from my master's other disciples.

Thinking of this, Lou Guanxue's mood was filled with sunshine again.

Qin Shishi finished watching this episode of "The Legend of the Moon Goddess" at the central villa where Qin Zijun lives.

She scrolled through the comments below.

"I feel like 'The Legend of the Moon Goddess' is almost over."

"Yes, we could already tell it was coming to an end soon."

"I already guessed the ending; it was bound to be a tragedy."

"Don't talk about lifespan when you kill me, damn it, why do screenwriters always have to kill people off at the end?"

"You can't really call it a knife, can you? There was a lot of buildup beforehand, wasn't there? Besides, this isn't a made-up story; remember, it's a true story!"

"..."

"I don't think this should be called 'The Legend of the Moon Goddess'. It should be called 'The Legend of the Confucian Sage' written from the perspective of the Moon Goddess. The Moon Goddess is just the most important supporting character, or rather, the female lead."

"I found it quite enjoyable to watch. Although it was simple, it was very heartwarming. It was somewhat like the life of an ordinary person like us, and it left a deep impression on me."

"You're talking nonsense. An ordinary person's life? Are you a Confucian sage? Do you think you can make the Moon Goddess serve you as a maid for the rest of your life?"

"I disagree. I want to see the magnificent life of a powerful cultivator, not these mundane daily routines!"

"That's not how it works. Perhaps for the Moon Goddess, this period was the most important and memorable time of her life?"

"You're not satisfied with the stories of sword immortals filled with cultivation, and the moon goddess tells you everyday stories instead? You're still not satisfied? You're such a troublemaker!"

"..."

Amidst the ongoing online arguments, Qin Shishi felt inexplicably sad.

She could also sense that the story ended with a sense of regret.

It cannot be called a tragedy. At the very least, the Confucian sage pioneered a new way of self-cultivation, and he accomplished his great work.

The ending can only be attributed to fate; things in this world are inherently imperfect.

For the Confucian sage, his life may have been complete.

But the most imperfect and sorrowful part must be borne by the Moon Goddess alone.

Qin Shishi felt this was unfair.

She couldn't help but glance at Qin Zijun, who seemed completely unfazed, and asked, "Brother, is the final outcome that you die and Sister Wangshu lives a lonely life?"

Qin Zijun, who was drinking cola, paused for a moment: "Don't say such unlucky things as me dying."

"As for the ending, do you want me to tell you directly?"

Qin Shishi thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, don't spoil it!"

She hates having spoilers for her favorite shows.

Qin Zijun smiled but didn't say anything.

At this time,

There was a knock on the door.

"Guanxue, what brings you here?"

Lou Guanxue knocked on the door and, seeing that it was unlocked, pushed it open and came in.

She lowered her head slightly, looking at her toes.

But I found that her breasts were a bit big, and I couldn't see them clearly.

Lou Guanxue, like a child who had made a mistake, stammered, "Master, I made a mistake again."

Qin Zijun asked calmly, "What did you do wrong?"

"After learning that Master has other disciples, I actually felt jealous, which was really wrong of me."

"so what?"

"Please punish me, Master, so that I may never forget the mistake I made."

Qin Zijun thought for a moment and said to Qin Shishi, "Shishi, you can go out first."

Qin Shishi stood up, glanced at Lou Guanxue with some worry, and then said to Qin Zijun, "You, you shouldn't always bully Sister Lou."

Qin Zijun was speechless.

Am I bullying her? I think she's enjoying it.

This disobedient disciple!

Lou Guanxue added fuel to the fire: "Disciples must be punished for their mistakes; this is the rule of the sect."

Qin Shishi snorted and walked out the door, leaving the master and disciple alone in the room.

Lou Guanxue leaned against the door and locked it with a click.

She took two steps forward, turned around, her back to Qin Zijun, and lay prone on the bed, her voice trembling: "Please, Master, punish me!"

Qin Shishi, who hadn't gone far outside, seemed to hear the sounds of hitting coming from inside.

That guy hit the fairy-like Sister Lou so hard, that's too cruel!
