Old martial arts novels are all classics; Jin Yong's novels accompanied me through my youthful years. Seeing Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu finally united, Lu Wushuang felt both happy and heartbroken. She turned away, secretly wiping a tear, and said, "Cousin, let's go too." Cheng Ying felt the same way, but she was always more restrained and didn't easily show her weakness. She hummed in agreement, bid farewell to Huang Rong and the others, and finally said to Huang Yaoshi, "Master, my cousin and I are leaving. Please take good care of yourself." Her eyes were red, and she lowered her head, avoiding Huang Yaoshi's gaze. Huang Yaoshi, being exceptionally intelligent, knew her feelings perfectly well. He sighed, feeling sorry for her, and waved his sleeve, saying, "Go ahead. Just come visit me at Peach Blossom Island when you have time." Cheng Ying hummed in agreement and slowly walked down the mountain with her cousin. Now, only Huang Yaoshi, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Guo Xiang, Yelü Qi, and their family remain atop Mount Hua.

After the light of Nuwa Palace faded, Tang did not leave immediately. He stood at the palace gate, gazing at the now-peaceful statue inside, for a long time. Yi Yin and Fei Chang stood behind him, not daring to utter a sound. After a long while, Tang suddenly spoke. "You wait outside." Yi Yin was taken aback. "Your Majesty?" Tang did not turn around. "I want to go back in for a while longer." Yi Yin and Fei Chang exchanged a glance, took a few steps back, and stood guard outside the palace gate. Tang turned around and re-entered Nuwa Palace. --- Inside the main hall, the white jade statue still sat quietly on the lotus platform. Tang walked to the statue and knelt down again. He did not speak, just knelt there. He knelt for the time it takes for one incense stick to burn. Two incense sticks. Three incense sticks. Just as Yi Yin was getting a little anxious waiting outside, the soft light suddenly shone back into the hall. The light was fainter and softer than before, like moonlight shining through the clouds. Nuwa's voice rang out again. "Why have you returned again?" Tang kowtowed. "Your Majesty, Tang has something else to say." The voice chuckled. "Speak." Tang raised his head, looking at the statue. "Your Majesty just said that the Shang Dynasty has eight hundred years of destiny. Tang wants to ask—is this eight hundred years a fixed number, or a variable?" Nuwa was silent for a moment. "That's a very good question." She paused. "Eight hundred years is both a fixed number and a variable." Tang was stunned. "This disciple is foolish, please enlighten me, Your Majesty." Nuwa said slowly. "It's a fixed number because the Way of Heaven is already set, the Shang Dynasty is destined to prosper and last for eight hundred years. It's a variable because—" She looked at Tang. "Destiny can change." Tang's heart trembled. "Can change?" Nuwa nodded. "Destiny is like flowing water; once the riverbed is fixed, the direction of the flow is fixed. But—" She paused. "If someone digs up the riverbed, the water will change course. If someone blocks the riverbed, the water will overflow. If someone leaves it alone, it will just flow, flowing to where it's meant to be." Tang listened, deep in thought. "Does Your Majesty mean that although destiny is predetermined, how one acts is still up to humankind?" Nuwa smiled. "You are indeed clever." She looked at Tang. "I bestow upon you eight hundred years of destiny as an opportunity, not a life-saving talisman. If you do well, eight hundred years will be secure. If you don't—" She paused. "It might be gone in less than eight hundred years." --- Tang knelt there, thinking about Nuwa's words, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welled up inside. So destiny isn't set in stone. So it needs to be guarded. So— He suddenly spoke. "Your Majesty, Tang understands." Nuwa looked at him. "Understand what?" Tang raised his head, his gaze resolute. "Understand that these eight hundred years aren't for Tang to lie down and sleep on, but for Tang and his descendants to guard, generation after generation." Nuwa nodded. "Well said." She stretched out her hand and gently waved it. A beam of light flew from her fingertips and landed on Tang's forehead. The light was warm, as warm as a mother's caress. It seeped into Tang's skin, flowed into his blood, and melted into his soul. Tang trembled. He felt that something had changed. Not his body, not his power, but—his fate had changed. Nuwa's voice rang out. "Shang Tang, today I bestow upon you the fortune of the Shang Dynasty for eight hundred years. This fortune will be passed down through your bloodline, generation after generation. As long as your descendants do not defy the will of Heaven or the people, this fortune will remain." She paused. "But if—" Tang's heart skipped a beat. "If what?" Nuwa looked at him, her gaze profound. "If one day, your descendants forget this oath and do something they shouldn't have, then this fortune will slowly dissipate. Once it dissipates, the dynasty will be finished." Tang knelt there, speechless for a long time. Then he kowtowed three times heavily. "Your Majesty, Tang remembers." --- Tang stood up, took three steps back, and knelt down again. This time, his expression was even more solemn than before. "Your Majesty above, Tang of Shang swears today—" His voice was not loud, but in the quiet main hall, every word was clear. "The descendants of the Shang family will worship the gods and immortals for generations, and dare not disobey." "The descendants of the Shang family will protect the common people for generations, and dare not be negligent." "The descendants of the Shang family will uphold virtue for generations, and dare not forget." He raised his head and looked at the statue of the god. "If anyone violates this oath, may they be punished by heaven and earth, and abandoned by gods and ghosts." "If anyone violates this oath, may they be childless and without descendants, and may their ancestral temple be abandoned." "If anyone violates this oath—" He paused. "May they never be reincarnated." After he finished speaking, the entire main hall became eerily quiet. Even the wind stopped. Even the air seemed to freeze. After a long time, Nuwa's voice rang out. "Good." The voice was very soft, but every word seemed to be engraved into Tang's bones. "I accept this oath. Heaven accepts it. Earth accepts it. Gods accept it. Ghosts accept it." She looked at Tang. "From this day forward, this oath will follow your descendants, generation after generation, never to disappear." Tang kowtowed heavily. "Tang thanks Your Majesty for your grace." --- The light gradually faded. The statue returned to its original appearance. But Tang knew it was different. He stood up, took three steps back, and turned to walk out. At the door, he suddenly stopped. He turned back and looked at the statue again. The statue still sat there quietly, its face kind, its eyes gentle, and a faint smile on its lips. Exactly the same as before. But Tang knew it was different. He bowed deeply, then turned and strode out of the palace gate. --- Outside the palace gate, Yi Yin and Fei Chang were waiting anxiously. Seeing Tang come out, the two hurriedly went to greet him. "Your Majesty!" Tang waved his hand. "It's nothing." He stood at the palace gate, gazing at the distant sky. The sky was a deep blue, like a piece of jade. A few white clouds drifted by, leisurely, slowly, freely. He watched for a long time. Then he spoke. "Yi Yin." "Yes." "Did you hear what Her Majesty said just now?" Yi Yin nodded. "Your subject heard." Tang turned to look at him. "Then remember it." Yi Yin knelt down. "Your subject obeys." Tang then looked at Fei Chang. "You remember it too." Fei Chang also knelt down. "Your subject obeys." Tang stood there, looking at the two men who had followed him his entire life. "This oath is not only mine, but also yours. Not only this generation, but also our descendants." He paused. "In the future, when I am gone, when you are gone, the oath will remain. It must be passed down from generation to generation, so that our descendants will know—how our Shang Dynasty came to be, how it was established, and how it was upheld." Yi Yin and Fei Chang kowtowed deeply. "Your Majesty, I remember." --- The descent was slower than the ascent. Tang walked steadily, step by step. Yi Yin followed behind him, watching his back, and suddenly felt a strange sensation. This back was different from the one on the way up. Not that he was older, not that he was tired, but—it was heavier. As if something unseen was pressing down on his back. "Your Majesty," he couldn't help but speak. Tang didn't turn around. "Hmm?" Yi Yin thought for a moment, then asked anyway. "Do you think we can hold out for those eight hundred years?" Tang stopped. He didn't turn around, just stood there for a long time. Then he spoke. "I don't know." Yi Yin was stunned. Tang continued. "I can hold out for my generation. The next generation, the next generation after that, the next generation after that—" He paused. "I don't know." He turned around and looked at Yi Yin. "But I know one thing." "What is it?" Tang looked into his eyes. "As long as someone remembers this oath today, there is still hope. As long as someone is afraid of this oath, they won't dare to act recklessly." He smiled. "Therefore, it must be passed down." --- It was late at night when Tang returned to Chaoge City. He didn't go back to the palace, but went straight to the city wall. He stood there alone, gazing at the starry sky. The stars were very bright, as if they were looking at him. He looked at the brightest one among them. That was his destiny star. It was even brighter than during the day. But he knew that brightness did not mean everything would go smoothly. Brightness only meant—the responsibility was heavier. "Goddess Nuwa," he murmured. "Tang will definitely protect her." "Definitely." --- Early the next morning, Tang summoned Yi Yin. "Bring me the edict from that day." Yi Yin took out the bamboo scroll and handed it to him with both hands. Tang unfolded it, looked at it, and nodded. "Add one more sentence." Yi Yin prepared pen and ink. Tang pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke. "Descendants of the Shang dynasty, generation after generation, worship the gods and immortals, protecting the common people. Those who violate this oath will be punished by heaven and earth. This oath will be passed down for ten thousand generations, never to be forgotten." Yi Yin wrote it down word by word. After writing it down, Tang read it again. Then he nodded. "Good. Keep it safe. Pass it on to your descendants." --- From that day on, the Shang Dynasty's system of worshipping Heaven was established. Every spring and autumn, the Shang king would personally go to the Nuwa Palace to worship. He would also go on important occasions. And when a new king ascended the throne, he would go even more. Tang set a rule— "On the way to the Nuwa Palace, you are not allowed to ride a horse, you are not allowed to ride in a carriage, and you are not allowed to be carried. You must walk up step by step." Someone asked why. Tang said, "Only by walking up will you know reverence. Only by walking up will you know fear. Only by walking up will you know—" He paused. "Who you are." --- The news reached the heavens, and the Goddess Nuwa sat in the Nuwa Palace, with the water mirror hanging in front of her. In the water mirror was the image of Tang standing on the city wall. She looked at that figure for a long time. The maid beside her asked softly, "Your Majesty, can this oath made by Tang of Shang really be passed down?" Nuwa was silent for a moment. Then she spoke. "How long it lasts depends on him." The maid was stunned. "Didn't Your Majesty say eight hundred years?" Nuwa nodded. "Eight hundred years is destiny. As long as destiny exists, the dynasty exists. But—" She paused. "Destiny can be preserved, or it can be worn down. If it can be preserved, eight hundred years will be secure. If it can't be preserved, it may be gone in less than eight hundred years." The maid nodded thoughtfully. Nuwa continued to look at the water mirror. "Tang was someone who knew how to preserve it. But his descendants—" She didn't finish. But a complex look flashed in her eyes. --- East Sea, Biyou Palace. Tongtian Sect Leader sat in the Sword Pavilion, holding a jade slip in his hand. It was sent from Chaoge, and it contained the oath made by Shang Tang. He read it once, and then read it again. Then he smiled. "Interesting." Duobao Daoist stood beside him. "Master, what's interesting?" Tongtian handed him the jade slip. "Take a look." Duobao took it and read it carefully. After reading it, he was also stunned. "This soup shows a great resolve." Tongtian nodded. "The resolve is great. But—" He paused. "A great resolve doesn't mean your descendants will be just as great." Duobao nodded thoughtfully. Tongtian stood up and walked to the door. "Pass down the order: the disciples of the Jie Sect may now have dealings with the Shang Dynasty. But—" He turned back. "Keep your distance." Duobao was stunned. "Master, why?" Tongtian smiled. "Because if it's too close, you can't see clearly. If it's too far, you can't reach it. Not too far, not too close, just right." --- Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace. Yuanshi Tianzun also received the jade slip. After reading it, he remained silent for a long time. Guangchengzi stood beside him. "Master, can this oath be passed down?" Yuanshi looked at him. "What do you think?" Guangchengzi thought for a moment. "This disciple thinks it's difficult." Yuanshi nodded. "Why?" Guangchengzi asked slowly. "Because people's hearts change. Passed down from generation to generation, there will always be those who feel the oaths made by their ancestors have nothing to do with them. There will always be those who feel they are smarter than their ancestors and don't need to abide by those old rules. There will always be those who—" He paused. "Think they are the sun." Yuanshi looked at him, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. "Well said." He stood up and walked to the door. "So, we must let them know—the sun will set." --- Xuandu Mountain, Eight Scenery Palace. Taishang Laojun lay on a blue stone, holding a jade slip in his hand. He glanced at it, then put it down. Grand Master Xuandu stood beside him. "Master, what do you think?" Taishang kept his eyes closed, remaining silent. Xuandu waited a moment, then asked again. Taishang opened his eyes and looked at him. "What do you think?" He smiled. "Look with your eyes." Xuandu was stunned. Taishang continued. "This oath is well made. But whether it can be passed down is not our concern." He closed his eyes again. "Just watch." --- On the city wall of Chaoge, Tang was still standing there. He had been standing there for a very long time. Yi Yin walked over and stood behind him. "Your Majesty, dawn is approaching." Tang nodded. "I know." "You haven't slept all night." Tang smiled. "I couldn't sleep." He looked at the sky gradually brightening in the distance. "Yi Yin." "Yes." "Do you think my descendants will remember this oath?" Yi Yin was silent for a moment. "I don't know." Tang nodded. "I don't know either." He turned around and walked down the city wall. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped. "But I will make them remember." He continued walking. "Passed down from generation to generation."

I read it in one go, and even rereading it later is a very enjoyable experience! The writing style really has the feel of Zheng Da telling stories! It truly has the style of Mr. Wu Ji's novels! The character development in the later parts is excellent, such as Xiao Tian, ​​Shui Ling'er, Shui Qiao'er, Murong Shenjian, Little Fire Evil God, Yun Tun Xi Shi, Bi Bo Du Ji, and Xiao Mei Lin—truly wonderful! The descriptions of martial arts are the most vivid and best I've ever seen in so many online novels! The Flower-Splitting Willow Palm Technique, the Six Harmonies Palm Technique, the Willow Steps in the Wind! And so on! I really learned a lot! If the author had persisted in writing this novel three years ago, it would definitely have been a huge hit! But he fell ill halfway through, and now that he's resumed writing, I feel it's a case of "it's been too late!" A novel that achieved greatness late in life!!! Go author!!!
