Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

Chapter 178 Time Leaves No Trace, Years Leave No Mark

After the Daoist Pearl sank into the earth's core and became perfectly complete, Chang'an officially entered a realm where time and years leave no trace.

Time without trace means that time has completely lost its meaning, with no distinction between past, present, and future; no difference between morning and evening, day and night, or seasons; and no trace of growth, aging, or change. Everything in the garden will forever remain in its most perfect, warmest, and most vibrant state, never aging, never deteriorating, never changing, and never shifting.

Time leaves no trace, meaning that time can no longer leave any marks. There is no erosion from wind and frost, no staining from dust, no wear and tear, no decay or decline. The pavilions are forever clean, the grass and trees are forever green, the lights are forever bright, the water is forever clear, the family is forever the same, and the smiles are forever warm.

Children will always remain children, innocent and carefree. They will never grow up or grow old. They will always be protected, always warmed, and always possess the purest joy.

Qin Huairu is forever gentle and beautiful, with tender eyes and a serene smile. She will never have a wrinkle or lose her charm. She will always be the softest warmth in her family's hearts.

He Yuzhu is always cheerful and kind, with a steady figure and a bright smile. He never seems tired or worn out, and he always protects his family's peace and stability with his down-to-earth and down-to-earth nature.

May Jia Zhangshi, Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong, and Jia Dongxu forever be healthy and composed, with leisurely demeanor and clear mind, never showing signs of aging or suffering from illness, forever enjoying peace and happiness, and living a long and blessed life.

Qin Lintian is always dressed in white, with a gentle and upright posture, soft eyes, and a perfect Dao heart. He is free from sorrow and joy, and is undisturbed by anything. He always accompanies his family, his home, and this eternal world with the most genuine and gentle demeanor.

The entire ancient city of Chang'an is as if frozen in an eternal painting, yet it is not static and lifeless, but eternally vibrant, eternally warm, eternally flowing, and eternally peaceful.

The Lingxi River still flows, but there is no visible sign of its flow.

The wind chimes are still ringing, but the sound of time is no longer audible.

The herb was still growing, but its growth was not visible.

The lights are still on, yet there is no sign of wear and tear.

No one cares about the time, because day and night shine together;

No one cares about the seasons, because it's spring all year round;

No one cares about age, because immortality is eternal;

No one cares about change, because it is perfect and flawless.

They would stroll in the morning light and chat under the moonlight;

They would play in the Lingxi River and also enjoy tea in the pavilion;

They will rest in the spiritual realm and also reunite in the square;

They will roam freely between heaven and earth, and also stay peacefully in their home.

But no matter what you do, time will not pass, and the years will not leave a trace.

The previous moment and the next moment are equally warm;

This day is just as perfect as that day;

This year, like that year, was peaceful.

The mundane days of the past have long since transformed into a gentle ray of light in time, leaving no trace, yet still warm.

The battle to defend the garden has long since faded into a gentle breeze in the years, leaving no trace, yet the protection remains.

The ethereal beauty that once took form and roamed the heavens and earth has long since transformed into a touch of warmth in life, leaving no trace, yet its beauty remains.

Time leaves no trace; it is not about forgetting, but about cherishing.

Time leaves no trace, not because it has vanished, but because it is eternal.

Qin Lintian sat atop the Star-Picking Terrace, overlooking his entire homeland. The Spirit Stream, the Long Pavilion, the Sea of Lights, the Spirit Garden, the Spirit Realm, all the spirits, his family—everything was there, everything was well, everything was perfect, everything was eternal. He felt no emotion, no excitement, no longing, no worries, only utmost peace and tranquility.

Because he knows,

Time takes nothing away;

Time doesn't change anything;

Parting brings nothing;

It's a pity that it won't affect anything.

Qin Huairu gently walked to his side, nestled on his shoulder, her movements exactly the same as countless times before—gentle, calm, and with the same initial affection.

"Time leaves no trace, that's wonderful," she whispered.

"Time leaves no trace, that is Chang'an," Qin Lintian replied softly.

Below, He Yuzhu had laid out the spiritual food, and its aroma filled the air;

The elders sat quietly chatting, their smiles serene.

The children played and frolicked with the ethereal light, their cheerful voices ringing out.

The air is warm and gentle, and the world is in harmony with peace.

There was no noise, no disturbance, no ups and downs, no waves.

Only the tranquility of time leaving no trace,

Only the gentle touch of time leaves no trace.

Only family reunions,

Only Chang'an, the eternal homeland.

This is the most beautiful state of life.
