The mood was complex.
The crowd watched the female cultivator walk into the mirror space.
Soon after, the space shifted slightly, and a pale red glimmer of light arose.
The crowd did not understand its meaning.
"This is a matrimonial Qi Fortune," Xuanmingzi explained to everyone. "Different cultivators possess different matrimonial Qi Fortunes. If this Qi is pale red, it indicates her matrimonial karma is an omen of handsome men and beautiful women. This means she is quite well-matched with her married couple, with their karmic threads intertwined neither too deeply nor too shallowly."
The crowd was greatly surprised.
Are there really differences in matrimonial Qi Fortunes?
"Each person's karma varies in strength," Xuanmingzi said with a slight smile. "As mortals say, 'A hundred lifetimes of cultivation earn a shared boat ride.' Within our Cultivation World, the principle of matrimonial karma is the same."
The crowd seemed lost in thought.
A moment later, the woman emerged, her face slightly flushed, as if she was quite satisfied with the married couple reflected in the Rebirth Mirror.
She glanced around, her gaze landing on a certain spot for a moment before she lowered her head and returned to her original place.
The crowd watched intently. Good heavens, could her match be among this very group?
According to Xuanmingzi, if both parties were present and agreed, they could immediately receive blessings or enter the Three-Life Illusion Realm to undergo a trial.
However, it was clear that this female cultivator from the Great Wilderness was in no hurry.
"HEE HEE, this looks interesting! I'll give it a try!" Hu Yu'er chirped, hopping lightly as she walked inside.
The crowd watched her enter.
Very quickly, within the hazy mirror space, a deep red radiance flared. What made it different, however, was that this deep red brilliance was entwined with several strands of black mist, creating an exceptionally strange sight!
"Eh..."
Xuanmingzi looked slightly taken aback.
"Senior, what does this situation mean?" someone asked.
Xuanmingzi pondered for a moment before saying, "A deep red Qi Fortune signifies that the two individuals are deeply entangled, their karma interwoven in a somewhat complex manner, yet it is accompanied by black Qi. This type of Qi Fortune is an omen of 'joy after tribulations end.' It means that if she wishes to become a Taoist couple with the other person, both will need to endure some hardships.
"It will be rather challenging."
The crowd had a sudden realization.
Wang Mu watched this scene, thinking, This Rebirth Mirror is truly damn mysterious!
Before long, Hu Yu'er came out. Her face was still slightly red, but she also looked somewhat unsettled. Her eyes darted about evasively as she quickly returned to her spot to meditate, though her peripheral vision kept stealing glances towards a certain direction.
Wang Mu followed Hu Yu'er's gaze and noticed her furtive glances sweeping around Jing Hai.
"..." Wang Mu.
He glanced at Jing Hai. It seems this young monk can't escape this fate.
"Senior Brother Su Yu, do you want to give it a try?" Wang Mu patted Su Yu. "This is your first time here too, isn't it?"
"Ah... well..." Senior Brother Su Yu's expression changed slightly. "I'm actually not in a hurry..."
"You'll have to go sooner or later," Wang Mu said with a chuckle, suddenly a bit curious about what Senior Brother Su Yu's situation would be.
Senior Brother Su Yu gritted his teeth. It seemed he was wrestling with an inner fixation and also wished to use this opportunity to rid himself of it. Thus, he stood up and walked towards the mirror space with unwavering resolve.
A few moments later, the Rebirth Mirror, through the enclosed space, revealed a crimson-purple radiance, which was exceedingly peculiar.
"Senior, what does this situation signify?"
Xuanmingzi stroked his beard and smiled. "This is a very good matrimonial Qi Fortune. The crimson-purple brilliance signifies an omen of 'fated adversaries from a past life.' It means these two individuals are deeply entangled by fate. Unless both perish, they are bound to meet in this lifetime, and they are exceptionally compatible."
The crowd "oh-ed" in understanding; it was truly remarkable.
Not long after, Senior Brother Su Yu emerged, but his face was deathly pale, and his eyes were utterly dazed. As he stumbled down, he kept murmuring, "Impossible... Impossible..."
Wang Mu saw this. Oh no, could Senior Brother Su Yu's married couple be that demoness from the Fengyue Sect?
"Senior Brother, your married couple..."
"There isn't one! I saw nothing! I saw absolutely nothing!" Su Yu hastily denied.
"..." Wang Mu.
Could you be any more disingenuous?
Senior Brother Su Yu is surely doomed.
One after another, cultivators entered the mirror space.
All sorts of matrimonial Qi Fortunes intermingled ceaselessly; some were joyous, others sorrowful; some were shy, others anxious...
Naturally, those on the Potential List drew the most attention. These were all individuals with boundless future potential. Many of the unlisted cultivators, in turn, were experiencing various illusions within the mirror. Unfortunately, judging from the matrimonial Qi Fortunes they manifested and their reactions after emerging, the married couples for at least half of them were not present; their fated partners simply hadn't come to this place.
Similarly, the matrimonial Qi Fortunes of these prominent cultivators were quite unique.
For example, Yan Wuxin displayed two radiances, both an intermingling of purple and red. According to Xuanmingzi's explanation:
"Hmm... This signifies 'joy after tribulations end.' However, the presence of two radiances means he has two married couples, with some entanglement involved. This will greatly test this cultivator's choices. A slight misstep could cause him to lose both these fated connections. Moreover, judging from this Qi Fortune, the Qi Fortunes of both his married couples are strong; neither of them are individuals to be trifled with."
The crowd nodded in understanding.
After Yan Wuxin came out, his face was filled with lingering fear, as if he had witnessed something utterly terrifying...
This wasn't limited to male cultivators; female cultivators experienced similar things.
"Senior, what's the maximum number of Taoist couples one can have?"
"According to the records of the Creation Gate, up to several dozen, perhaps..."
"Ah? That many? What happened to that cultivator in the end?"
"He died."
"..."
"Why did he die?"
"Too many tribulations. Having too many married couples means encountering more tribulations. If the cultivator's own Qi Fortune isn't strong enough, they won't be able to withstand it. If the Qi Fortunes of the married couples are even stronger, then the cultivator is even more likely to perish tragically amidst those tribulations..."
The crowd listened, finding it all rather intriguing.
