Chapter 1649: Wedding Outside of Time

Editor: Atlas Studios

Under the vast sky where both sun and moon shone together, their radiant lights intertwined, creating a magnificent glow.

This dazzling light spread across the land and on the Immortal Palace, as if the heavens themselves had bestowed an immortal wedding robe.

The brilliance reflected upon the two figures that countless cultivators gazed at.

One was standing in the east, the other was in the west, and they were getting closer with each step.

The woman in the radiant wedding attire looked like a blazing flame.

Her smile carried a trace of shyness, and her expression hinted at hope and dreams of the future.

As she walked forward, her delicate face, flushed either from the hue of the skies or from her own emotions, took on a rosy tint.

However, to those observant enough, her expression seemed forced, her smile insincere. Deep within her eyes, a coldness lingered.

However, there was no lack of anticipation for today’s wedding.

Coldness and anticipation weren’t contradictory.

After all, she wasn’t Spirit Phoenix.

Her feelings for the Young Lord weren’t born from her either.

As for her anticipation, it was for the wedding itself. Even though the historical records indicated that the wedding ceremony had never been completed, it still implicated karma!

One could say that the very moment she appeared here smoothly, she had already achieved most of her goal.

For her, as long as she continued forward, no matter how history unfolded, it would not matter much.

Thus, she quickened her pace.

As for the man, his robe adorned with nine dragons fluttered in the wind, and the golden crown atop his head gleamed brilliantly under the heavenly light, radiating splendor. Yet, beneath this brilliance, as he faced his fiery bride approaching, his heart was stirred by waves of emotion.

These ripples came from his understanding of this pivotal moment in history.

“Yuanshan Su will act as Spirit Phoenix. I’ll act as Mi Ming to carry out the wedding according to history.”

“And in history, this wedding can’t be considered a true success… This is because it wasn’t completed in the end.”

“The marriage contract… didn’t have her name either.”

Whether it was through Zhong Chi’s information or Zhou Zhengli’s report later, the direction of history had become unmistakably clear to Xu Qing.

The key turning point lay in the first bow.

Once they bowed to the heavens, the world would drastically change. The Immortal Lord would rebel, the Venerable Immortal would descend, and everyone in the Immortal Palace… would be reduced to ashes, dying completely.

And now…

“There’s only fifteen minutes left.”

Xu Qing moved forward silently. The waves in his heart grew larger and larger.

This was because in 15 minutes, it would be one of the largest storms in this historical scene.

At the same time, it was also the final eruption of everything he had prepared!

As the side who wanted to change history, he needed to make use of the waves of history to increase his Space-Time Ordinance. He wouldn’t end the waves in history just because he expelled Star Ring.

On the contrary, expelling Star Ring and resolving all the external uncertainties were all for today!

Xu Qing wasn’t satisfied with fifteen minutes in the hourglass that existed outside of time!

He wanted more.

He wanted to completely master his Space-Time Ordinance in this realm.

He wanted to make the hourglass last longer.

In this moment of history, there were two pivotal events—either of which, if altered, could help Xu Qing achieve his goals.

However, these two events were incredibly difficult to change, nearly impossible.

The first was the inevitable fate of death for Aurora and everyone present.

The second was the failure of the wedding itself, which had become a lingering regret second only to death.

Xu Qing knew that the first event, the inescapable death, was beyond his power to shake or rewrite.

However… the second thing was that because of his identity, it was possible. Xu Qing had been given this identity by the little person who he suspected to be Aurora Immortal Lord’s remnant soul.

There was a high chance that its goal was to make up for this regret.

Of course, this was only Xu Qing’s guess. There was no conclusive evidence.

However, this didn’t conflict with his goal.

As for the hourglass outside of time, it was his trump card today!

His plan was to use this extra fifteen minutes worth of time to alter the course of history of this wedding.

He would ensure the wedding was successful!

With this, it would completely shake this historical space-time and form a true space-time storm!

This was Xu Qing’s plan!

At that moment, as the process progressed, his thoughts became increasingly firm and scattered into his body. It was the same for his footsteps. Finally, amidst the cheers and blessings, the two figures clad in wedding attire stood together, suspended in mid-air!

In an instant, the heavens shone brilliantly, auspicious light surged forth, and vibrant colors erupted, all centered around the newlyweds, creating a magnificent wave that rippled outward in all directions.

They were the center of attention.

In the crowd, Zhong Chi sighed softly, the fox beauty snorted, heaven’s chosen Li glared coldly, and Zhou Zhengli’s eyes revealed a strange glint.

The Fourth True Monarch was also in the crowd, standing beside Aurora Immortal Lord. Looking at everything in front of him, a smile appeared on his face and his eyes were filled with blessings.

“Junior Brother, you’ve grown up.”

The Fourth True Monarch turned his head and looked at Aurora Immortal Lord.

Aurora Immortal Lord didn’t seem to hear him. At that moment, he had a gratified expression as he looked at the two people under the auspicious sign in the sky. However, at this moment, there was a faint black gas emitted from his body.

However, the strange thing was that no one here could see this black gas.

At the same time, the voice of the Grand Elder of the Immortal Palace echoed.

“The auspicious hour has arrived. Please let the officiants each take their roles, the facilitators each handle their duties, and the witnesses assist in the festivities and observe as the sounds of drums and flutes play the auspicious melodies.”

As these words were spoken, cheers echoed, and the music began, resounding grandly, as if all of heaven and earth, along with countless beings, were offering their blessings.

An immortal phoenix flew over and accompanied the heavenly dragon. With a red ribbon in its mouth, it danced around Young Lord and Fairy Spirit Phoenix, tying the red silk around the two of them, causing the embroidered ball to drift between them.

Then, with a joyful tone, the officiant’s voice rang out again across the sky.

“According to the ancient rites, for the wedding, the couple shall first bow to heaven and earth!”

“The newlyweds, face the heavens, and bow together.”

The officiant’s voice resonated, and Xu Qing took a deep breath, turning to gaze at Yuanshan Su, who was filled with anticipation beside him, as they looked up at the sky.

At this moment, the heavens were ablaze with brilliant colors, while the sun and moon were hidden. The heavenly secrets were churning.

The old times were fading away, and a new era was descending.

The radiant clouds were not only omens of good fortune but also a symbol…

“To honor the heavens, a match made in paradise.”

The officiant’s voice rose and fell, resonating in harmony with the heavens and the earth.

Xu Qing lowered his head and bowed to the sky with Yuanshan.

The sky rumbled!

“To honor the earth, may you be united in matrimony.”

The two bowed once more!

The sky shook and the multicolored light grew even brighter.

“To honor heaven and earth, may your bond last as long as the sky and the land.”

As these words were spoken, the colors of heaven and earth shifted dramatically. Winds began to rise, and clouds swirled as the sun and moon nearly vanished from sight, as if a colossal hand were reaching down to pluck them from the sky!

The Aurora Era was about to truly arrive!

Yuanshan Su took a deep breath. She knew that change was coming!

The black gas on Aurora Immortal Lord’s body also became extremely dense at this instant. This drastic change in history was at this moment!

However, at that moment, an hourglass suddenly flew out from Xu Qing’s body!

The instant the hourglass appeared, it emitted endless resplendent light, like flames in the night, illuminating everything!

As the sand fell, a vast and astonishing force landed in this space-time with a majestic might that surpassed all others.

It was like an unstoppable flood!

That was time outside of time. It was fifteen minutes of time that transcended this space-time and couldn’t be changed!

It descended here and forcefully and domineeringly connected to this time node!

Hence, the light in the sky seemed to have been stopped, and the shaking of the ground seemed to have been contained. No one in the surroundings moved. Even the wind, spiritual energy, and heavenly secrets… froze at this instant.

Only the resplendent light emitted by the sand enveloped Xu Qing and Yuanshan Su. Only they were not frozen.

Yuanshan Su was in a daze. His eyes were wide open, revealing disbelief and horror. She abruptly turned her head to look at Xu Qing and was about to say something…

Xu Qing took a deep breath and let out a low voice.

“No chattering, let’s continue!”

As soon as Xu Qing spoke, Spirit Phoenix’s body suddenly trembled, her eyes slowly closing. With a gentle flutter of her eyelashes, she softly began to speak.

“According to tradition, we must bow to the sun and moon next.”

“To honor the brilliance of the sun and moon, which separate the creation of yin and yang.”

Xu Qing lowered his head and bowed together with Spirit Phoenix.

“To honor the red thread of fate, which has brought us this perfect match.”

Spirit Phoenix’s voice trembled slightly.

As the two of them continued to pay their respects and the waves of space-time rumbled like a storm.

“Third, bow to your parents.”

Spirit Phoenix’s voice echoed in the waves and the trembling was even more obvious. There was a hint of complexity, reminiscence, and endless… waiting.

When it landed in Xu Qing’s ears, he was stunned. He instantly lifted his head and looked at Fairy Spirit Phoenix beside him.

With this glance, Xu Qing’s heart instantly trembled.

When he saw this Spirit Phoenix… he knew something was wrong. The difference in her gaze from before was too great. There was no longer coldness or fakeness. There was only vicissitudes, reminiscence, complexity, and… gentleness.

It was as though she had waited for thousands of years or even longer for this day and this moment.

Yuanshan Su’s consciousness had already dissipated at an unknown time.

This scene caused Xu Qing’s pupils to narrow. At the next instant, a familiar soft sigh echoed in his consciousness.

That was actually… the sound of the little person!

The waves formed by this soft sigh spread throughout his entire body and also took over his body from Xu Qing’s consciousness.

“He’s not Aurora Immortal Lord’s remnant soul. He’s… the Young Lord himself!”

Xu Qing’s heart churned. At that moment, he became a spectator.

The Young Lord looked at Spirit Phoenix with a gentle gaze. He raised his hand and grabbed Spirit Phoenix’s hand, speaking softly.

“To honor our parents for their nurturing grace, as vast as the Eastern Sea.”

“To thank our parents for their teachings, as heavy as a mountain.”

“May our parents enjoy the joy of family, and may their lives be long and peaceful.”

Tears streamed down Spirit Phoenix’s cheeks as she tightly grasped the hand of the Young Lord, the most important person in her life. Together, they spoke the final vows in unison.

“For the fourth bow, the couple bows to each other…”

“With one heart and one mind, may we grow old together, sharing the same bed and pillow.”

“With mutual affection, may we be loving partners, like the phoenix and the dragon in harmony.”

“With the fortune of three lifetimes, may our hearts be forever united, through life and death… together.”

“The ceremony… is finished…” Spirit Phoenix’s tears flowed down her face and landed on the ground.

“The ceremony… is finished!” Young Lord lifted his hand and wiped Spirit Phoenix’s tears as he spoke softly.

After that, he took out the marriage contract and… wrote the name of Spirit Phoenix on it.

Space-time fluctuated unprecedentedly at this moment. The world trembled and waves were like a storm, transforming into a huge vortex that surrounded the entire Immortal Palace.

With a rumbling sound, it churned violently.
