She wasn’t unfamiliar with this place, she had once heard Xiao Qi say many things pertaining to it. The antique shop at the 18th street of Xining city was a place that held much significance in Xiao Qi’s life. She had always locked it up and hidden it. In retrospect, there used to be a mirror in the shop that had the ability to see into the past and future. So, Xiao Qi went to Jing Haitian and brought back a suitable mirror to use as decoration.
Not every God and Buddha could travel through time and space. Only the ones with great divine power could do so, such as Fei Tian, Long Fei Li, Long Wushuang and the three divine Buddhas. People who they assisted could time travel alongside with them; without such power, one must use the Niguang Tablet. The enemy god had an insufficient amount of divine power, so they were incapable of chasing after them into China. The two of them had gone through a life and death experience, which had exhausted their divine powers, making them temporarily unable to activate the Niguang Tablet and go back to the Heavenly Realm.
Xiao Qi caressed her hair affectionately, saying, “good child, Long Fei Li will come and find me. We’ll be alright.”
But she knew that by the time she was rescued, Xiao Qi would’ve already died of exhaustion.
Before Xiao Qi fell into a comatose state, she had seen her gazing dazedly at the Niguang Tablet. She was deeply grieved, crying repeatedly, and Lin Lang asked her if she had any unfulfilled wishes. Xiao Qi told her a secret.
It turned out that Xiao Qi kept the Niguang Tablet with her because she was looking for a girl named Hai Lan. If one day, Hai Lan’s lover Qin Ge died, and if she was willing to go against the heavens and change his fate, she would use the Niguang Tablet to send her back to the Eastern Tombs.
For Hai Lan, travelling through time and changing the life and death of the Emperor of the Eastern Tombs was directly related to Qin Ge’s rebirth in China. As for Xiao Qi, Hai Lan’s ability to return to the Eastern Tombs and be by the side of the Emperor would ultimately affect the fate of Long Fei Li, Long Wushuang and Fei Tian, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
Wanting to send Hai Lan back to the Eastern Tombs, Xiao Qi hid her plan from Long Fei Li.
Xiao Qi smiled bitterly and said, “Therefore, it’s possible to send someone through time and space, but Long Fei Li, the Xiushu Buddha and I know that she is an exception, and sending Hai Lan is not permissible. Long Fei Li would never approve of this matter.”
“I can tell you that Qin Ge was the Emperor of the Eastern Tombs in his previous life. What I can’t tell you is, who the Emperor of the Eatern Tombs was in his previous incarnation and how significant the Hai Lan of the past was to him. However, the act of sending Hai Lan back to the Eastern Tombs is an act of defiance against the Heavens. It will certainly be met with Heavenly Condemnation.”
“You and I both know that the Heavenly Realm is divided into three factions. In fact, whether this matter persists outside the heavens, there’s still the Cang Nian Buddha, who is in charge of Heavenly Condemnation. The Cang Nian Buddha is Fei Tian’s elder brother. His name is Cang Nian (Vast Consideration), yet he doesn’t care for the vicissitudes of human affairs. Regardless of the change in the Heavenly Realm’s political authority, he is merciless — no, heartless. He only administers punishments regarding time and space. Those who should be punished, whether human or god, will never escape.”
“If one is unable to escape the Heavenly Condemnation, their soul will forever be buried in oblivion. But excluding Long Fei Li, who ascended to the Heavenly Realm and regained his divine power, and Fei Tian, who would be capable of contending against the Cang Nian Buddha? Long Fei Li’s injury hasn’t healed yet.”
“The Xiushu Buddha once told me that Qin Ge’s life lamp was going to die out. He and I had the same idea and he approved of sending Hai Lan to the Eastern Tombs. He intended to use the Niguang Tablet. However, this situation concerns my husband and son, along with Fei Tian. Xiu Shu once helped me, how can I let him be condemned? I should be the one to use the Niguang Tablet and send Hai Lan back.”
