After some time, the lightning storm finally came to an end.

Yun Yang, who had persevered through the entire ordeal, could only feel a single sensation – he was certain that his entire being was a piece of steel that had been laid on a chopping board and had been pounded on from head to toe. His bones, his muscles, his meridians… Nothing was left unscathed!

The moment the lightning strikes stopped, he collapsed onto the ground, no longer able to support himself. He had not actually succumbed to the storm; in truth, he felt unusually relaxed. He would be sorry for himself if he did not seize the chance to lie down and rest a little.

Yun Yang subconsciously exhaled a breath he did not know he had held on to earlier. It was a rare sight indeed when a puff of black smoke exited his lips.

…

The couple glanced at each other to see a similar wash of gratefulness in their eyes for having survived the havoc. They were about to speak, to ask each other how they were doing, but a faint, light musical note rang in the air.

It sounded distant, airy and gentle, but it felt like the fairies themselves were dancing. The music was rejuvenating and dreamy.

Immediately, a pair of golden doors materialized in the air. Like two suns, they glowed brilliantly, shining upon the world.

The doors opened and a prismatic radiance that spilled from within enveloped the young couple.

Yun Yang let out a soothing moan promptly.

When he came into contact with the rainbow glow, the damage and pain that the lightning storm had caused him earlier disappeared entirely. The brutal patchwork of wounds healed at that very instant!

Based on Yun Yang’s past experience, the healing effect of Emmie’s air of vitality assuaged his worry regarding the external and even internal injuries caused by the lightning storm. The price paid was worth it, seeing that the phenomenon had given him tremendous improvements. Bathing in the prismatic light now and feeling his injuries fully healed, it was a bargain.

Furthermore, Yun Yang could feel an indistinct trace of Dao from the rainbow radiance, giving him a lot to ponder upon.

What came more as a surprise was Ji Lingxi’s situation. There wasn’t the slightest trace of injury upon her, so she had skipped the recovery process and directly absorbed the rainbow glow…

Yun Yang was initially worried that the guarding red light would be overly domineering and would reject even the beneficial prismatic radiance. Now, it seemed like he was thinking too much. The red ray had a judgment of its own, remaining inactive towards external forces that were harmless and advantageous to its owner.

That did not sound right either. Yun Yang was also harmless to Ji Lingxi. Why was he being counterattacked, even when it was just a soft kiss? What did it mean?

He shooed his thoughts away, for considering them more would only further enrage himself.

Sometime later, the rainbow radiance that lingered around them vanished. The hovering doors exuded a strong suction force and despite the couple’s proficient cultivation base, they were unable to resist its strength. Slowly leaving the ground, they drifted towards the golden entrance.

Simultaneously, four enormous words manifested in the sky.

“The Bound of Universe!”

The four words were luminous, glowing brightly.

“Yun Yang!” cried Ji Lingxi who suddenly felt a powerful sense of reluctance.

“I’m here!” Yun Yang answered, “Take care of yourself. Remember what I said and be careful in everything you do.”

Ji Lingxi nodded and teared up.

“Be well, I’ll find you!”

“I’ll find you too. See you again in the Bound of Universe.”

Seeing that the gigantic doors were approaching, Ji Lingxi began to speak quickly, “You must be principled. When you’re in the Bound of Universe, don’t look at pretty girls, don’t make acquaintances with girls, don’t talk to young girls – if girls like you, you have to pretend you can’t see them – you mustn’t wrong us – you mustn’t be nice to other ladies, you mustn’t be heroic and save other girls – make yourself uglier, you can’t –”

Before she could finish her list, she was sucked into the golden doors and disappeared within. She had no time to hear Yun Yang’s reply.

In actual fact, Yun Yang did not even have the chance to reply to her.

Hearing so many prohibitions proclaimed in such a short time, he was utterly stunned. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, he was also pulled into the gold, sparkling doors!

As the two of them entered the gleaming gold doors, the doors shut immediately, ceasing its existence in Tianxuan.

The storm stopped as well, the dark looming clouds dissipated. Two arches of rainbows made their appearance in the sky instead, one from the east to west and another from the south to north. They reflected off each other, their radiance shining impeccably.

…

Yutang’s conquest to take over the continent began flagrantly. With the remaining empires of the continent that were left with little to no resistance, the conquest advanced aggressively almost without a hitch or obstacle.

In the spring of that year, the western front marshal, Marshal Wang Yunzhu, led the army to attack the last city of the Empire of Ziyou, Fenglong City. The Empire of Ziyou was swept off the map, remembered only in the history. The whole of the Empire of Ziyou was absorbed into Yutang’s territory.

In the summer, Tie Zheng led three hundred thousand militants to attack the capital of the Empire of Tianci, thus annihilating Tianci.

One month later, the Empire of Dayuan in the south was rooted out as well.

Fu Baoguo and Yun Xiaoyao led the war against Dongxuan. It went on until the peak of winter. Dongxuan was showing signs of defeat and the Emperor of Dongxuan ventured out into the battlefield personally, but the effort was futile. During the third month of the next year, Dongxuan’s emperor passed away in the military base, thus preceding the fall of Dongxuan.

The days of Han Sanhe spending decades fighting in the bloodshed and the days of anticipating the restart when Dongxuan’s next emperor ascended the throne eventually evaporated!

After that, Yun Xiaoyao led the army and with Tie Zheng, they separated into two directions as they conquered the grasslands.

Yutang reigned over the world.

The children whom Yun Yang had advised contributed meritoriously without exception, becoming influential figures. However, every year, when the day that Supreme Cloud had his final battle at Tianxuan Cliff arrived, the few of them would gather and have wine together.

Bao’er – the royal grandson Yu Qiankun – grew up in the company of Shangguan boys. Whatever position they held after that, they would gather to drink as well on the day they were received in the Residence of Yun by Yun Yang annually.

There was no emperor and officials on this day – only brotherhood and gratitude.

There was not a moment when His Majesty Emperor of Yutang, Qiu Jianhan and the other kingpins forgot Lord Supreme Cloud who had contributed so much to Yutang’s world domination.

“Document all the details!”

“There is no such thing about a taboo of the ruler. Everything regarding Lord Supreme Cloud is to be faithfully recorded.”

“Announce it to the world.”

“Supreme Cloud came riding the clouds and wind and in the end, he left with the clouds and wind.”

“Assemble scholars to pen down biographies and books for the story of Lord Supreme Cloud to be spread to the later generations.”

Clouds and wind gradually become the phrase to mean heaven’s will. From then on, anything that had to do with destiny would borrow this current saying as mockery –”Don’t boast about yourself as the destined one, unless you want to see if the clouds and wind come for you!”

…

Yun Yang had let go of everything that had to do with the Tianxuan Continent.

Now, the first thing he encountered in the Bound of Universe actually confounded him.

‘I – What am I seeing?’
