Transcending the Nine Heavens

CHAPTER 133: Untangling the Heart, Breaking Through! [Second Update!]

The Sword Spirit let out a long sigh: “There are too many paths in life! Thousands of them. The one you walk in your dreams is this path, which is why you encounter those people and those events. But when you wake up and realize that this path is wrong, will you still walk it?”

“No.”

“Exactly, so you changed your path; therefore, your journey, although similar to that in your dreams, has different endings and processes.” The Sword Spirit said deeply: “This is the difference between paths.”

“Thus, the people you meet and the things you go through are all completely different.”

“Thus, in the last life, the Sky Tower would be destroyed, and Meng Chaoran and Wu Yunliang would die, but in this life, both of them are alive, and the Sky Tower has become a top-ranking sect in the lower three heavens.”

“So, in the last life, Wu Qianqian would agree to marry Shi Qianshan for the sake of the Sky Tower and sacrifice herself; but in this life, she won’t.”

“Thus, in the last life, Tie Butian would die, and Diwu Qingrou would win; but this life is even more different.”

“In the last life, Gu Duxing and others would gain fame in ten or twenty years, and be on par with Anzhuzhu, but in this life, it has happened earlier.”

“In that life, not much happened in the middle three heavens, but in this life, so much has occurred.”

“In the dream, Mo Qingwu died. But in the current reality, she is now the joint disciple of two supreme beings!”

“Do you know, all of this is because of you!” The Sword Spirit said lightly: “All because you had such a strange dream!”

“So this life, compared to the last life, is fundamentally no different. The only difference is you! This life is the last life! The last life existed, but only in your dreams.”

Chu Yang had been quietly listening, pondering in silence, without saying a word.

“I just want to ask, is the current Qingwu the same as the Qingwu from the last life?” Chu Yang asked in a low voice.

“This is a question you shouldn’t ask.” The Sword Spirit replied: “Let me ask you, if in this life you do nothing, still follow the trajectory of the last life, or cultivate the cold-hearted sword path, would Mo Qingwu die?”

“If you don’t make those efforts in this life, what kind of person would Mo Qingwu be now? Would she be as lively and lovely? Without the Star Dream Light Dance Blade, without meeting Mo Qingwu in Iron Cloud, would her life still have a hint of brightness? She could only become the gloomy Mo Qingwu from her last life! Then, after a certain period, meet you and die for you! But why would you go to Iron Cloud? Did you go there in your last life?”

The Sword Spirit snorted and said, “You met Mo Qingwu in your last life, and even if you count from now, it would be in eight and a half years! Have you thought about all this?”

Chu Yang remained silent for a long time, then slowly a smile appeared on his face: “So that’s it, I’ve been overthinking, worrying needlessly.”

“The sky is still the same sky, the earth is still the same earth, Qingwu is still Qingwu, it’s just that I’ve changed! That’s all.” Chu Yang spoke softly.

After saying this, he suddenly felt a heavy weight lift from his heart.

The Sword Spirit chuckled gently and said, “Indeed, regarding your past and present life, or dreams, or anything else... you will naturally understand how it all works in the future. ...You asked me a question, but I answered you so much. Can I ask you a question?”

“Ask away.” Chu Yang said heartily, in a cheerful tone.

“Hmm, you have always been devoted to Mo Qingwu, with only her in your heart. For this, you have hidden your appearance in the lower three heavens, not wanting to interact with women; and even with Wu Qianqian, who is deeply affectionate toward you, you keep your distance…”

The Sword Spirit slowly asked: “You naturally think that everything you do is for Mo Qingwu, your true love, only Mo Qingwu; but, if in your last life, Mo Qingwu did not die, but rather harmonized with you, would you still be so infatuated in this life?”
