Episode 7 recap: Xing Zhi announced the postponement of the engagement.
When Shen Li ascended to the heavens, she infused some of her spiritual power into Xing Yun, hoping that he would successfully overcome difficulties and return to the side of his mother. His mother scolded her for depleting five hundred years of cultivation for the sake of a mortal, and furthermore, in ten years, the other person might not even remember her. However, Shen Li firmly stated that she was willing, and with just these two words, what was five hundred years of cultivation worth?
In the remaining days, Xing Yun lived in the small courtyard, relying on memories and every little detail of Shen Li's life. Regardless of the spring breeze or summer rain, he would stand in the courtyard, yearning for Shen Li, until he became an old man, and when the end was near, he still walked unsteadily to the small river where Shen Li used to love going, as if he could still feel Shen Li's presence there.
Finally, the queen mother lifted the ban on Shen Li. Shen Li came out and heard that he had been closed off for a full thirty days. He had already calculated that Xing Yun might no longer be in the mortal realm, and Mo Fang confirmed it. In the Mocang Palace, everyone was excited because the prince had returned. The palace was newly decorated, and the little fairy attendant specially prepared a table of dishes for Shen Li to enjoy. When Shen Li was not in the mortal realm, he always had a good appetite, but for some reason, he found the dishes he usually loved to be tasteless.
In the immortal realm, many celestial gods welcomed the return of Xing Zhi God Lord to his position. This time, Xing Zhi did not announce his descent and tribulations to the outside world. Everyone originally thought he was going out to relax and would return refreshed, but to their surprise, he was even more silent than before. Xing Zhi bid farewell to his many attendants and went alone to the Qianji Platform to pay tribute to his deceased friend.
Fu Rong Jun has a mischievous nature, and when he heard that he was going to marry the illustrious King Bicang, he was so scared that his legs trembled. The spiritual power of King Bicang is well-known in the immortal realm, and Fu Rong Jun, who is used to indulging in pleasure, wouldn't dare to marry such a war god. He immediately ran to the residence of the God Lord and begged Xing Zhi to retract the order, preferably canceling the marriage altogether.
Suddenly, Xing Zhi remembered when the Fate Star Lord had handed him the marriage registry and asked him to designate a match. Xing Zhi had never bothered with such matters, so he randomly picked a number. Little did he know that it was Fu Rong Jun's designation, and thus this marriage came about. Xing Zhi helped Fu Rong Jun up from his kneeling position and agreed to delay the wedding for some time, allowing them to get to know each other better before making a final decision.
Upon hearing the news of the postponed marriage, people in the spiritual realm expressed their confusion, but Shen Li secretly felt relieved, at least having some more days of freedom. The master called Shen Li aside to explain the significance of this marriage. Shen Li complained that Fu Rong Jun was an incompetent god lord and how could someone with his great military achievements marry such an unworthy person. The master could understand Shen Li's perspective. Although Shen Li despised the idea of an arranged marriage, when it came to a war, it was not a trivial matter. It would not only affect the innocent but also cause great damage to the spiritual realm.
Not long ago, there was turmoil in the Abyss of Void Heaven, with countless miasma disturbing the lives of the people. Shen Li took on the task and quickly dispersed the miasma. However, to achieve long-lasting peace, the power of the immortal realm was needed to protect and nurture life in the spiritual realm. The master also considered the bigger picture, and Shen Li understood this. It's just that Shen Li felt that Xing Zhi's casual arrangement of this marriage was too hasty.
