Chapter 588 - 588 607 Unpredictable Catastrophe

588: Chapter 607 Unpredictable Catastrophe 588: Chapter 607 Unpredictable Catastrophe Taiyin Star!

In the hazy moonlight, pure as water, the sacred osmanthus tree swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound now and then.

A figure stood beneath the tree, their aura obscure and indistinct.

Ye Xuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, three thousand strands of black hair cascading down his back.

A gust of wind made his hair flutter, and it was unclear what was on his mind.

Taiyin Star, the osmanthus tree, Guanghan Palace!

When these three names were linked together, an image of a person emerged in Ye Xuan’s mind.

His eyes were slightly vacant, and the silhouette deep in his mind became increasingly vivid.

“Am I thinking of her?”

Gazing at the starry sky, the heavens sprinkled with stars, Ye Xuan murmured to himself, a hint of bewilderment appearing in his eyes.

This plunged him into deep thought.

Having left Dou Niu Palace, Ye Xuan didn’t go elsewhere; as if by some demonic force, he found himself at Taiyin Star because, in ten days, he was to be married, and his wife was to be the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden.

The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden was indeed beautiful, and a disciple of Nuwa, no less.

Whether in terms of cultivation, appearance, or heritage, she was fully worthy of being Ye Xuan’s wife.

If others were to marry the Guanghan Fairy, they would probably wake laughing from their dreams.

Unfortunately for Ye Xuan, he had never liked the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden, let alone loved her.

His marriage to her was merely for the sake of his own future path.

To marry!

Such a simple term, but to Ye Xuan, it was extremely alien.

In his life, he had never imagined that he too would have a wedding day.

Since his youth, having grown up through adversity, Ye Xuan’s journey had been strewn with bloodshed and strife.

To him, love was nothing more than a joke.

Back in the Human World, he had personally ended his childhood sweetheart, Xia Qingzhu.

This meant he had also ended what he called ‘love’, and he believed he would never fall in love with any woman in his lifetime.

Just as he was about to get married, a feeling of loneliness began to grow inside him, a feeling Ye Xuan found hard to bear and which made him feel incredibly weary.

He came to Taiyin Star, stood beneath the osmanthus tree, and the image and voice of the Guanghan Fairy kept appearing in his mind.

Ye Xuan didn’t know what was wrong, nor did he understand why he was thinking of this woman, so he sought answers from within.

Ye Xuan remembered clearly, the first time he had encountered the Guanghan Fairy, he had told himself that he must have her, for the Guanghan Fairy embodied the most beautiful things, and she had awoken a possessive desire in Ye Xuan’s heart.

Ye Xuan always thought he only liked the body of the Guanghan Fairy and had a strong desire to conquer her.

Beyond these feelings, he had never truly loved her.

Yet as his wedding approached, he found himself thinking of her and had unconsciously come to the Taiyin Star, which to him was an unbelievably astonishing thing.

When Kua Fu took the Guanghan Fairy away, Ye Xuan told himself that once he became a Quasi-Saint, he would use the Witch Clan’s magic chariot to personally take her back.

“An emotional tribulation?”

Ye Xuan continuously interrogated his heart, with an answer he could think of almost leaping out, causing him to heave a sigh as the bewilderment in his eyes returned to clarity.

The so-called emotional tribulation was the hardest to overcome.

Everyone in their life would meet someone, the one they love the most.

Consumed by love, entwined in passion, regardless of the distance, even at the ends of the earth, the thought of the other would persist.

Someone once said that if love could be explained, then there wouldn’t be so many people suffering.

Affection cannot be explained; it seems to be destined by the heavens, with everyone in their life experiencing that one unforgettable person without exception.

When Ye Xuan realized that the appearance and voice of the Guanghan Fairy were in his mind, he already understood that she was the one who would be unforgettable in his life, and the emotional tribulation he had to overcome was indeed the Guanghan Fairy.

However, Ye Xuan was puzzled; he had never loved the Guanghan Fairy, having nothing but a domineering desire to possess her.

He was sure he would never fall in love with this woman, so this emotional tribulation should be useless against him.

But as if a voice from Mingming was telling him, in a future day, he and the Guanghan Fairy would be entwined in an unimaginable struggle, and the destined emotional tribulation would erupt, undoubtedly much more complex than he could imagine.

Suddenly!

Ye Xuan’s eyes tightened; fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his fists clenched slightly at this moment because he had thought of someone, someone he had not been able to make sense of.

That mysterious figure, that mysterious figure who had come reversing the River of Time!

Loneliness, vicissitudes, desolation, and an indescribable and profound sorrow, when all these qualities were present in that person, Ye Xuan’s spirit trembled to its core.

“If he is my future, for what reason would I become like that?” Ye Xuan murmured, his entire being becoming stunned in place.

If anyone in the world knew Ye Xuan best, it would be himself.

Ye Xuan considered himself heartless and ruthless in his actions, relentless and unscrupulous in pursuing his goals, but he had never possessed an air of loneliness or desolation.

“If he is me, what will I have experienced in the future to become like that?”

“Or is it that this mysterious figure isn’t me?”

Ye Xuan whispered to himself in search of an astonishing truth, but no matter how much he speculated, he couldn’t find the answer he sought.

“Could it be because of her?”

Ye Xuan shook violently, his eyes suddenly became foreboding, and a trace of icy killing intent flickered across the depths of his gaze.

Ye Xuan had never forgotten the words spoken to him by that mysterious figure in the Nuwa Palace as it saved his life and was about to depart!

Having reversed the River of Time and shattered the laws of Heaven and Earth, I face a great calamity in the future.

Can you, from this era, change the future?

“What future must I change?”

“If he is indeed my future, and the future me has already become so powerful, what kind of calamity could bring him such sorrow?”

Ye Xuan murmured to himself, with cold sweat rolling down his forehead, as if he had caught onto a clue, but his relentless search yielded no answers.

“An emotional tribulation?

Is it her?”

Suddenly, a flash of Spiritual Light struck Ye Xuan, and the image of the Guanghan Fairy appeared again, but this time with a presence of killing intent around Ye Xuan, which took over a dozen breaths to settle down.

“If the great calamity I will face in the future is caused by her, can eradicating her change the future?” Ye Xuan muttered darkly, unsure if his speculation was correct.

A gentle breeze blew, the moonlight glistened like water, and the sacred osmanthus tree swayed slightly in the wind.

Bathed in the moonlight filtered through the osmanthus flowers, Ye Xuan, standing underneath the tree, appeared immaculate, utterly lost in contemplation.
