My Wife is A Sword God

With a wave of the leader’s sleeves of the Heaven Burial Organization, the Star Observatory rotated, reaching the top of the Heavenly Tower, revealing a section of the starry sky.

Qin Feng found himself at this moment as if he were in the universe, surrounded by stars, and on each star, he could see a person’s past.

There were diligent farmers.

There were fishermen who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.

There were bandits who raided homes, there were soldiers who defended their homes and country, and so on.

These countless stars, big and small, seemed to be the epitome of this world.

However, behind that river of stars, there seemed to be a vague shadow, resembling Gods and Demons, resembling a ruler.

With a gentle wave of his hand, two stars collided, and the bandits who raided homes invaded the village, killing all the fishermen in the village.

With a flick of his finger, stars were destroyed, and the lives represented by those stars were overturned in an instant.

He looked down on billions of living beings, effortlessly deciding their fate, with an indifferent expression, as if merely playing a common game.

“At the beginning of chaos, when heaven and earth first came into being, there was no division into three realms, but all were in a state of chaos.”

“There was Primordial Qi which gave birth to Yin and Yang, creating two principles that further formed the Four Symbols and transformed into a myriad of things, and then the chaotic world began to thrive.”

“Yet apart from the Primordial Qi, there was also another primal essence of heaven and earth – naive as a newborn, but gradually developing a will over the course of aeons.”

“It had witnessed the ceaseless turning of the vast wilderness into fields, the cycles of the sun and moon, the patterns of life and death, dynasties rising and falling.”

“It sighed at the insignificance of all things, and felt that a single heaven and earth was really boring, so it used its own origin as the foundation and created it into three.”

“Since then, the three realms were born.”

Simple words, yet they crashed over Qin Feng like a tsunami. He stood dazed and asked “So this realm of the three heavens originated from the evolution of that primal essence?”

The leader of the Heaven Burial Organization walked slowly, his expression extremely solemn: “You went to the Netherworld Realm to save your father and to save it from destruction.”

“When you destroyed the Heaven Soul, you uncovered another realm beyond the three realms and a trace of its aura was revealed.” 

“It was also because of this aura that I and the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower were able to divine the truth of heaven and earth.”

That truth was the source of his despair!

He took a deep breath, enunciating each word clearly: “These three realms were not born from the heavens and earth, but rather formed when that primordial essence of heaven and earth split it into three realms and condensed into separate domains!”

“It grew weary of this realm, and so It wishes to reset the three realms, returning all of creation to its original state.”

“At that time, all living beings across the three realms shall cease to exist!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng’s heart surged with immense waves. If it were true, wouldn’t all the people he cared about be annihilated?

“So that’s why the master…shattered his own destiny star, seeking to perish together with the primordial essence?”

In his view, the realm beyond the three realms, the shattered world where the immortal creature resided, was the location of the original source of heaven and earth.

But unfortunately…

The white-robed elder shook his head with a bitter smile. “If it were so simple, why would he need to sacrifice himself to buy more time for the three realms?”

“The original primal essence does not reside in that world, but has always been suppressed in the deepest level of the Ninefold Prison within the Imperial City!”

Qin Feng’s eyes went wide with disbelief. Such a legendary primordial essence capable of dominating the three realms was right beneath their feet this entire time?!

“Why did the Great Qian establish the Dragon Sealing Stele to suppress the Dragon Vein? And why has the imperial dynasty spared no effort in developing the official Dao paths since its founding?”

“It was to channel the power of the Dragon Vein and converge it upon the Imperial City, forming a seal to subdue that primordial essence!”

“And the reason why the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower and the Divine Guardian have never stepped out of the Imperial City was because their Domains have long been integrated with the Imperial City. Only in this way can they ensure that the terrifying existence is always unable to break free from the seal. However…”

The white-haired elder paused, sighing, “With the birth of the Netherworld realm’s Heavenly Soul, and over thousands of years, the barrier of the three realms has been continuously weakened.” 

“Those monsters formed by the corruption of the heavens can already break through the barrier and come to the shattered realm that has always been inviolable.”

“They will erode the seal of the Extreme Realm, endlessly devouring this realm, until finally shattering the Dragon Sealing Stele and Dragon Vein, and dispelling the seal.” 

“At that time, the primordial essence will be unleashed and the three realms will face annihilation.”

“It was upon foreseeing this that he did not hesitate to sacrifice his own life, luring the Heaven Soul and others to tear open spatial rifts, using his shattered Destiny Star to collide with the primordial essence’s origin world.” 

“In this way, those monsters lost their immortal powers and dared not be so reckless.”

Hearing this, redness welled in Qin Feng’s eyes as his heartache deepened.

He turned his gaze outside, where heavy rain poured down. Through the shattered rift in the sky, that other world continued collapsing.

“Since those monstrosities have lost their deathless abilities, we could simply unite the three realms’ forces to exterminate them all, then reinforce the seal. Why do we only have one year left?” Qin Feng couldn’t help but ask.

“The seal formed by gathering the Dragon Veins of the world is nothing more than a piece of paper without the support of the Divine Guardian and the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower.” 

“Now that the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower is dead, the seal is only maintained by the Divine Guardian alone, and it is impossible to continue suppressing the source of heaven and earth. At most, there is only one year left before it can break free from the seal and reappear. At that time, no one will be his opponent.”

“These three realms exist because of him, and destroying them would be effortless!”

“In that case, what can I do?” Qin Feng said blankly, feeling that any struggle against such an existence seemed futile.

“You have Primordial Qi in your body, which is the only power that can counter the source of heaven and earth.” 

“But you are still far too weak. Only by reaching the Transcendence Realm can you give birth to a faint glimmer of hope.”

“You must tread a Transcendence path no one has ever walked – the Path of the Entire World, built upon the will of all living beings across the three realms!”

“The path of the world?” Qin Feng repeated in a whisper.

“This path is not easy to walk, and you don’t have much time left, but there is still one last resort, albeit with a nine-in-ten chance of death.”

“What’s the method?”

The white-haired elder looked at Qin Feng, hesitating before replying, “You must discard your mortal body, sending your soul into the Netherworld Realm’s Yellow Springs to experience a hundred reincarnation cycles within this remaining year, comprehending the will of all living beings.”

“If your soul remains intact and can then reunite with your physical body, you would be able to tread the Path of the Entire World and reach the Transcendence Realm!”

Qin Feng left the Grand Literature Academy and returned to the Qin Mansion with Anya.

Seeing his distracted expression, she asked with concern, “Husband, did the master tell you something? You’ve been absent-minded ever since descending from the Heavenly Tower.”

Qin Feng snapped out of his thoughts, and as he gazed quietly at Anya, she inexplicably became flustered and uneasy.

It was as if she was about to lose her husband soon and would never see him again.

“I wanted the teacher to help me calculate how many children my wife could bear, but he knocked me on the head, so I started to have wild thoughts. You know about the Third Brother’s prophecy, but I swear by the conscience of heaven and earth, I only love you three wives!”

Upon hearing this, Anya’s cheeks flushed instantly, and she snorted, “Husband surely said the same to Sister Sword and Sister Fei before. Your words cannot be trusted!”

Qin Feng recalled for a moment, feeling a little guilty, as if that was indeed the case.

Qin Feng recalled and felt a tinge of guilt – it did seem he had indeed said similar things before. 

He reached out to gently brush Anya’s temples, savoring her faint fragrance and warmth, yet his mind dwelled on the words he heard atop the Heavenly Tower.

It wasn’t a multiple-choice question.
