Time flew by like an arrow; a whole sixty years had passed.
During these sixty years, in the supreme ancestor realm and among the dominators of the human realm across the heavens, Tan Yun's search for news about Zhang Sun Xuan Qi had spread not only throughout the four great Divine Domains but also to the Demon Clan in the Sea of Demons.
However, what saddened Tan Yun was that despite the passage of sixty years, there was still no news of Zhang Sun Xuan Qi.
In the Western Continent Divine Domain, at the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace, Tan Yun, accompanied by his wife and fiancée, paid respects to his parents. Feng Jingru sighed, “Yun'er, you have been searching for Xuan Qi for a hundred and sixty years. If she were still in this world, she would have known you were looking for her by now.”
“Shouldn't you consider marrying Qianqian and Zi Xi?”
Hearing this, Tan Yun felt apologetic. “Mother, at that time, Xuan Qi waited for a full hundred thousand years for my response. Therefore, I have decided that no matter whether she is still alive or not, I will wait a full hundred thousand years for her.”
“If she has not appeared by then, I will marry.”
Feng Jingru sighed and could only agree to Tan Yun's decision…
Time flew by, and after ninety-nine thousand eight hundred and forty years had passed, the cold wind howled as Tan Yun stood alone on the summit, gazing at the empty sky, shouting, “It’s been a hundred thousand years! Xuan Qi, I have searched for you for a hundred thousand years! Where on earth are you?”
“Where are you?”
After shouting, tears of disappointment filled Tan Yun's starry eyes; he knew he had forever lost Zhang Sun Xuan Qi.
In Tan Yun's heart, the absence of news about Zhang Sun Xuan Qi could only be attributed to three reasons.
The first reason was that Xuan Qi was no longer in this world.
The second reason was that she had long since become someone else's wife.
The third reason was that she had forgotten him and did not wish to have any ties with him.
That night, Tan Yun sat alone on the summit.
That night, Shen Subing and the other women tacitly chose not to disturb him…
The next day, as the sun rose, Tan Yun regained his spirits and completely gave up on Zhang Sun Xuan Qi. He found Feng Jingru and knelt down, saying, “Mother, I wish to pay my respects. I have decided to marry Rou'er, Jade Rinse, Yuyan, Ziyan, Qingcheng, Qianqian, Zi Xi, Bingshuan, and Yunxi.”
Feng Jingru smiled widely, “Good, good child! Mother has waited too long to hear this from you.”
“And regarding Yuyan, although she was your wife in the previous universe, when you married her, you were already dead. This time, it’s time for you to truly marry her.”
Tan Yun smiled, “Yes, if Mother has no objections, I will discuss the wedding date with Zi Xi and the others.”
…
After Tan Yun left, he found the group of women and ultimately confirmed that the wedding ceremony would be held thirty years later at the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace.
The reason for setting the date thirty years later was that it would take over a decade for Tan Yun to send invitations to the four great Divine Domains and the Sea of Demons, and those who received the invitations would need at least another ten years to arrive at the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace.
Thus, it was set for thirty years later.
A few hours later, the news of Tan Yun’s wedding spread throughout the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace, exciting the high-ranking officials and disciples within the palace.
In a beautifully designed pavilion, Tan Yun's daughter, Snow Shadow, was talking with Bai Xi.
Bai Xi was Zhang Sun Xuan Qi's disciple from the lower universe; she had ascended to the supreme ancestor realm ten thousand years ago and had always been as close as sisters with Snow Shadow.
“Snow Shadow, sister…” Bai Xi choked up, “I am certain that my master is no longer in this world.”
“Bai Xi, don’t cry.” Snow Shadow comforted, “Maybe after your master ascended to the supreme ancestor realm, she gave up on my father and found her own love, which is why she hasn’t shown up.”
