...
Two months later, Gu Changsheng finally advanced to the Innate Level.
He started practicing martial arts at the age of eighteen, and more than one hundred and twenty years have passed.
The world has changed several generations, but his appearance has not changed.
Thirty years ago, he left the mountains, wandering and traveling through most of Xuan Country. Along the way, he met many people and left behind numerous stories.
Until he met Mu Wan, married her, and started a family.
Now, he has finally become an innate warrior!
"How short is the day? A hundred years of suffering are easily fulfilled. The sky is vast and boundless, and the calamities are long."
How short the day is! A hundred years pass in a flash. The sky is vast and boundless, and the Tao endures through countless calamities.
Looking back on your life, a hundred or so years may seem long for mortals, but for this world, it is just a fleeting moment.
Therefore, be cautious and patient, for there is still a long way to go!
...
Mu Luoxian had been busy for some time, mysteriously coming and going without a trace.
As soon as Gu Changsheng stepped into his backyard, he saw Mu Wan sitting on a chair. Her star-like eyes were intently focused on a moon-white Taoist robe in her arms.
A pair of slender jade hands that should have held a sword and whose fingers were unblemished by labor were sewing the clothes one stitch at a time.
Since that day, Gu Changsheng has never worn black clothes in his daily life. Almost all the clothes he wears now are made by Mu Wan.
Perhaps she really likes the moon-white color, or maybe she just thinks he looks good in it.
So, all the clothes she makes tend to be a shade of moon white.
For example, the one he is wearing now.
What else can a husband ask for if he has such a wife? !
Gu Changsheng casually found a seat next to her and sat down.
In his previous life, his biggest dream might have been to have a woman who could stand by him in the evening and stir soup with her bare hands.
However, people always change.
Time has changed him, after all.
In fact, long before he opened the "panel," the immortal fruit had already changed him.
What is immortality?
With time as a companion, all things are passers-by. Before transcending the world, the world decays and I decay; if the world does not perish, then I do not perish.
After transcending, perhaps the world perishes, and I am the only one left.
Apart from that, everything in the world is a passer-by.
The life of an ordinary person is only a few decades.
It can be imagined that in a few decades, Mu Wan will inevitably leave him. This is the influence of time, and he has no way to cope with it.
Perhaps, this is the "poison of immortality" that he drank.
He couldn't even give her anything, except for the companionship of these decades,
Perhaps he married her solely because of innate skills.
Those dark eyes looked at her without blinking.
Deep within them, there was a trace of guilt.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Because my wife is so beautiful... How can she be so beautiful?"
"Hehe... Well, you just look at it, why do you do it?"
"I can't help myself, it's hard to control my emotions."
"Hehehe... Stop moving, your clothes are going to fall to the ground!"
The breeze blew through the trees in the courtyard.
The sunset, perhaps, made this moment truly beautiful.
It is also worth keeping in someone's memory forever.
...
In the remote northwest land of Youzhou, suddenly, a new innate force appeared.
It is called Moon-Watching Pavilion.
No one knows where it came from or who the owner of the pavilion is.
In the martial arts community, people only know it as the master of Moon-Watching Pavilion.
Although Moon-Watching Pavilion only made a debut in Xuan Kingdom, it acted very high-profile.
People in the martial world were eagerly awaiting the reactions of the major sects to this matter.
They were prepared to witness a joke.
However, the subsequent developments were truly unexpected.
The other major sects in Xuan Kingdom seemed to have naturally accepted the emergence of Moon-Watching Pavilion. They sent envoys to establish diplomatic relations and visit.
This move is tantamount to directly admitting that Youzhou will belong to Moon-Watching Pavilion from now on.
However, the Xuan Kingdom court remained strangely silent about this.
There's not a drop of clarity; it's all shady!
Ordinary people may not be aware, but both the Xuan Kingdom court and those major sects are well-informed.
What kind of organization is this Moon-Watching Pavilion?
This is clearly the Mu family of the previous dynasty of the Chu Kingdom!
Seriously?
And you, Xuan family of the Xuan Kingdom, don't ignore this!
The land next to Youzhou will soon be your future home!
It's shady—really too shady!
Gu Changsheng remains oblivious to the truth.
Otherwise, he would surely lament how dark the world truly is.
He understood the world was bleak, but he hadn't realized it was this bleak!
It's outrageous—completely beyond belief!
...
"Moon-Watching Pavilion?"
What happened in the land of Youzhou was naturally a sensation in Tianshui City. Gu Changsheng is now also a spectator.
He frowned slightly, feeling an unsettling sensation in his heart.
Can the major sects of the Xuan Kingdom really be so accommodating?
Allowing the territory of a state to be taken over by a newly emerged sect like this?
He doesn't believe it!
When have those major sects ever been associated with the word kindness?
Which one of them is not a shadow oppressing all living beings in this world?
However, he lacked crucial information. Although he could sense that something was awry, something profoundly wrong, he couldn't discern the reason why.
Gu Changsheng also told Mu Wan his guess.
"Wan'er, do you know what this Moon-Watching Pavilion is about?"
Mu Wan blinked slightly when she heard his question.
She was not good at lying and her cheeks were slightly red at this time.
She simply stopped talking and looked at him, shaking her head slightly.
Gu Changsheng asked casually.
He didn't expect her to know.
Shaking his head, he was too lazy to waste his brainpower thinking about it.
Anyway, no matter where this Moon-Watching Pavilion came from,
it would hardly affect his current happy life with a beautiful woman in his arms.
He is already a martial arts innate!
To be frank, there are only fourteen states in Xuan Country. There shouldn't be many places he can't go, right?
As for the world, all living beings?
What does it have to do with him?
It's not easy for a person to manage himself and the people around him.
I am a man in the mountains, sitting and watching the wind and clouds rise.
