Venerated Venomous Consort

In great astonishment, Gu Xijiu could not believe the jade figure that she saw in her dream was the master of the heavenly law.

“Was the master of the heavenly law the one who buried the box?” Gu Xijiu had to find out.

“The signs of the heavenly law should not be revealed. You only have to know that the one that you are looking for is the master of the heavenly law, and that is all.”

“Did the master of the heavenly law escape and you need my help to capture him?”

“Who needs your help to capture the master of heavenly law? Outrageous!”

“Why should I look for him, then?”

“Give him the box and let fate take its course.”

“By the way, is he a man?”

“Nonsense!”

“Where is he?”

“I do not know.”

Gu Xijiu was speechless. If she could not be sure where to look for him, the search would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It would definitely be a long, long search.

“How do I know it is him?”

“You will have to count on your intuition.”

Gu Xijiu was confused again. Her intuition worked like magic every time, but she did not know when to trust her intuition, especially since she had never met the man before.

A sudden realization hit her. Could they be the same man, the man in her past and the master of the heavenly law?

She felt her heart beat violently. Seizing the opportunity, she continued, “Is Huang Tu the master of the heavenly law?”

“Hehe.”

Gu Xijiu frowned in frustration. “What did you mean with that? Yes or no?”

The voice disappeared.

Gu Xijiu waited, but the answer never came. She heaved a sigh and made up her mind that her search from now on would be for the master of the heavenly law.

The master of the heavenly law sounded very much like a condescending existence. Even if he had reincarnated, his superior presence should be easily noticeable.

…

To Gu Xijiu’s greatest surprise, the man was not easy to find. It was basically an impossible mission.

The search lasted for almost two hundred years. From the Upper to the Lower Bound, she searched for him tirelessly and had met many powerful people. None of them was him.

Many things happened during the two centuries.

In the Lower Bound, Gu Xietian had eventually passed away. Before his death, he finally asked for Luo Xinglan’s forgiveness. They promised to meet each other again in their next lives for their love to be continued. Soon, Luo Xinglan died, following his death. Three years before his death, Luo Zhanyu, also known as Gu Tiannuo, finally acknowledged his past and changed his name to Gu Zhanyu.

Gu Zhanyu heeded Luo Xinglan’s last words and buried her next to Gu Xietian, making both of their final wishes come true. Gu Zhanyu did not get himself involved in politics. Instead, he became the greatest overlord of his time.

After the death of the emperor in the Feixing Kingdom, Rong Jialuo ascended the throne and became the new emperor. Rong Jialuo possessed distinctive qualities, and with Gu Xijiu’s help, he managed to achieve a level nine spiritual power before he turned 30, greatly extending his lifespan. Being a wise emperor, he made every effort to make the country prosperous.

Within the two centuries, Gu Xijiu tested and found five true heaven gift’s disciples. She assigned Mu Feng to guide and help them grow. Certainly, there were some false ones. Gu Xijiu had to send them away to the Dark Forest, leaving them to fend for themselves.

In the meantime, she would visit the forbidden land once every twenty years to bring back the people who had reached level nine.

These people felt a mixture of awe and reverence of her. They dared not stir up troubles. Instead, they would either establish their own clans or wander around the world at their will.

The land thrived and returned to its usual prosperity.

Surely, some of Gu Xijiu’s friends died. Some died a natural death; others died in wars. Li Mengxia, for example, died in a war. Before her death, Gu Xijiu was right beside her. Gu Xijiu intended to rescue her by rewinding her death.
