Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 15: Space-Time Xuanji

On a full moon night, a silver disk hung high, and bright moonlight poured down like a waterfall, bathing the ancient and mysterious altar. At the altar's center, Su Mengyao stood quietly, her face filled with determination and anticipation, as if the moonlight had cast a holy veil over her. Tonight, with the help of Taoist Wuchen, she would experiment with activating the legendary "Space-Time Xuan Ji."

The air was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood, drifting gently with the night breeze, as if it could purify the soul and cast away all distractions. Taoist Wuchen's expression was serious and solemn. He slowly walked to Su Mengyao's side and began to explain to her the taboos of activating the "Space-Time Xuan Ji" one by one.

"Su Mengyao, you must remember that the 'Space-Time Xuan Ji' is very important. It connects different time and space. Any mistake will lead to disastrous consequences." Wu Chen's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to hit Su Mengyao's heart.

Su Mengyao took a deep breath. She understood the importance of this ceremony and the responsibility she shouldered. She tried to calm her inner turmoil and focus all her attention on Taoist Wuchen's explanation.

"During the ceremony, we must not use any disrespectful words or actions," Wu Chen continued. "The Space-Time Xuan Ji is spiritual and can sense our thoughts. Excessive emotional fluctuations may interfere with its energy field, preventing us from accurately traveling through time and space."

Su Mengyao nodded, and she kept these taboos firmly in her heart. She understood that these taboos were not only a respect for the ceremony, but also a responsibility for her own life.

As Taoist Wuchen's explanation deepened, Su Mengyao's understanding of the "Space-Time Xuan Ji" deepened. This mysterious treasure was far more than a simple tool for traveling through time and space. It was more like a destiny-altering artifact, possessing endless possibilities and power. She also deeply understood the immense dangers this artifact held. If misused, the consequences would be disastrous, not only causing harm to herself but also potentially irreparable damage to the entire space-time system.

Every time Su Mengyao heard a detailed description of the "Spacetime Xuanji," her heart palpitated. She seemed to see countless different futures, some filled with hope, while others concealed endless dangers. Once she decided to use this magical weapon, she must shoulder a huge responsibility and be prepared to face all the unknowns.

Deep down, Su Mengyao constantly pondered how to properly utilize the "Space-Time Xuan Ji." She realized that only through careful decision-making and wise action could she truly unleash the potential of this artifact while avoiding catastrophic consequences. This contemplation weighed heavily on her, yet it also fueled her inner resolve and courage.

Despite facing numerous challenges and uncertainties, Su Mengyao firmly believes she can overcome them. She believes that as long as she maintains calmness, rationality, and unwavering faith, she can find the right direction and write her own legend in time and space. No matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, she is willing to bravely explore, experiment, and create a better future.

"The time and the spell are equally important." Wu Chen emphasized again: "We must activate the 'Time and Space Xuan Ji' at the exact time, and the spell must be recited accurately. We may be teleported to the wrong time and space, or even encounter unknown risks."

Su Mengyao nodded again, declaring that she would strictly abide by these rules. This ceremony could not tolerate any carelessness or trifling. Any small mistake could lead to irreversible consequences.

Taoist Priest Wuchen nodded in satisfaction and began preparing to initiate the ceremony. He walked to the edge of the altar, clasped his hands together, and began to chant a mantra in a low voice. As the mantra rang out, the air around the altar grew thicker. A mysterious force began to converge at the center of the altar, forming a massive vortex of energy.

Su Mengyao closed her eyes tightly, concentrating on sensing the shifting energy around her. She could clearly sense the mysterious force gradually growing stronger, as if it was about to devour her. However, she felt neither fear nor nervousness.

On the contrary, she was filled with determination and confidence. She knew that she would be able to successfully master this artifact and use it to uphold justice and save her family and friends.

At this moment, Taoist Wuchen suddenly stopped chanting, and the air around him seemed to freeze. He slowly turned his head and stared at Su Mengyao with a gaze as sharp as a torch, a rare seriousness and solemnity in his eyes.

"Su Mengyao, you must remember that the purpose of activating the 'Space-Time Xuan Ji' must be pure and flawless. Any attempt for selfish gain or malice may be retaliated by the Space-Time Xuan Ji. Your heart must remain pure and kind. Only in this way can you gain the true recognition of the 'Space-Time Xuan Ji'."

His voice was deep and powerful, and every word struck Su Mengyao's heart like a heavy hammer. She nodded slightly, indicating that she understood, but an indescribable pressure surged in her heart.

This was a heavy responsibility and a severe test for her heart. She knew full well that the power she was about to face was extremely powerful, and without a pure heart to guide her, the consequences would be disastrous.

Su Mengyao tried to calm herself down. She secretly told herself that she must stick to the right path, not be swayed by selfish desires, and face future challenges with the most sincere heart.

Su Mengyao's heart trembled. She understood what Taoist Wuchen meant. She nodded firmly, indicating that she would definitely remember this taboo. She took a deep breath, calmed her inner turmoil, and closed her eyes again.

Taoist Wuchen nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this. He began chanting the incantation again, and the energy around the altar began to gather again. This time, the energy gathered faster and more intensely than before.

Su Mengyao felt an indescribable force tightly surrounding her. That force seemed to possess endless magic, as if it wanted to take her to another mysterious and unknown realm of time and space. This feeling made her both excited and nervous. She knew that an extraordinary journey was about to begin.

As this power grew stronger, Su Mengyao's heartbeat involuntarily quickened, but her heart remained unusually calm and resolute. She knew that countless difficulties and obstacles might await her ahead, but she had already made full mental preparations and was determined to bravely meet all challenges and adventures.

She took a deep breath, her eyes filled with confidence and anticipation, then slowly closed them, throwing herself wholeheartedly into this upcoming extraordinary journey. At this moment, Su Mengyao was like a flower in bud, quietly blooming with her own brilliance.

Before the mysterious ceremony began, Su Mengyao had already undergone a complex and solemn cleansing ritual. Clear water flowed over every inch of her skin like silk, washing away dust and fatigue, as if even the most profound thoughts within her were cleansed. She donned a flawless white ceremonial garment, embroidered with ancient and mysterious runes. Every stitch and thread seemed to carry infinite power and the secrets of time.

Around the altar, Taoist Wuchen bustled busily, his hands swiftly and methodically placing various magical instruments. Curls of green smoke rose from the incense burner, shimmering against the stars in the night sky. Candlelights flickered in the breeze, like beacons guiding the soul's path. Talisman paper fluttered gently in the wind, rustling like the whispers of ancient spirits. Each of these magical instruments served as a bridge between heaven and earth, tightly connecting Su Mengyao to the enigmatic "Xuan Ji of Time and Space."

Taoist Wuchen chose this special altar as the location for the ceremony. It was where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged, and it was also a place inextricably linked to the "Xuan Ji of Time and Space." He could clearly sense the mysterious and ancient power in the air around him, as if it was waiting to be awakened, awaiting the upcoming ceremony.

The hour finally arrived, and Taoist Wuchen looked up at the starry sky. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow. The stars twinkled in the night sky, as if watching the mysterious ritual about to begin. He took a deep breath, whispered an ancient incantation, formed seals with his hands, and channeled all his strength into the "Space-Time Xuan Ji."

Su Mengyao stood at the altar, her hands tightly gripping the "Space-Time Xuanji" radiating a warm glow. She could feel the power it transmitted, an indescribable, mysterious force that seemed to transcend the barriers of time and space, resonating with all creation. She began to chant an incantation, her voice melodious and mysterious, as if traversing a tunnel of time and space, echoing in the endless night sky.

As the incantation was chanted, a strange force gathered from all directions, pouring into the "Space-Time Xuan Ji" like a torrent. The previously dim disc now began to emit a dazzling light.

This light wasn't a single hue, but rather a fusion of countless colors, like a vibrant rainbow. As the light flickered, complex and mysterious patterns gradually emerged on the surface of the "Space-Time Xuan Ji." These patterns intertwined, forming an extremely intricate pattern.

A closer look reveals that these lines are not fixed, but rather they are constantly moving and changing, as if they have life. Each change brings new patterns and shapes, making them dazzling and elusive.

These mysterious patterns hold an ancient and profound wisdom, as if condensed from the most primal laws of the universe. The aura they exude feels both familiar and unfamiliar, as if resonating with the depths of the human soul.

Su Mengyao felt as if her body were tightly wrapped in a huge, blazing flame, its temperature rising continuously until it threatened to melt her. She could clearly feel her skin tightening, every inch of her muscle trembling, as if she could be torn apart by this powerful force at any moment.

Despite this, she felt no fear. Instead, her heart was filled with anticipation and determination. She knew this was the crucial moment to break through her limits and gain a new life. Only through experiencing pain and suffering could one truly grow and become a stronger being.

As time went by, Su Mengyao's heartbeat grew faster and faster, rumbling in her chest like a war drum. Her breathing also became more rapid, each inhale and exhale tinged with an indescribable tension. But even so, she gritted her teeth, clinging to the faith deep within her heart, refusing to waver in the slightest.

The moment the last word of the spell fell, the "Space-Time Xuan Ji" suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling light. That light was like a falling star, illuminating the entire space. Su Mengyao felt only a bright light before her eyes, so bright that she could hardly open her eyes.

At that moment, she felt an unprecedented force surge from the "Space-Time Xuan Ji" like a surging torrent, instantly tearing her body apart. She opened her eyes wide and tried to struggle, but found herself completely unable to move. She could only watch helplessly as her body was torn into countless pieces by this powerful force.

As her body tore apart, Su Mengyao's consciousness gradually faded. She felt as if she had fallen into an endless, dark abyss, and everything around her became blurry and indistinct. She tried hard to stay awake, but found her thoughts becoming increasingly confused, as if she were being pulled by an invisible force into an unknown time and space.

Everything around me seemed to be pushed by an invisible giant, flowing and changing at a dizzying speed. Every tiny detail was changing in an instant, making it difficult to keep up.

At the center of it all—Su Mengyao—stood quietly, her eyes tightly closed, seemingly completely lost in her own inner world. A faint smile played on her face, as if she was filled with anticipation for what was to come, yet also hinted at a hint of nervousness.

Meanwhile, Taoist Wuchen watched the changes in Su Mengyao and the "Space-Time Xuan Ji" with a look of nervousness. He knew the extreme dangers of this ritual were imminent; the slightest misstep could lead to unforeseen consequences. He clenched his fists, his palms slightly sweating, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened. At this moment, he was consumed by worry for Su Mengyao and fear of the unknown outcome. But no matter what, he was determined to accompany Su Mengyao to the very end, protecting her no matter the danger.

But he also firmly believed that Su Mengyao had enough courage and wisdom to face all challenges. He silently prayed and blessed her, hoping that she could successfully cross the barriers of time and space and explore the unknown realm.

After an incredibly long and agonizing wait, the dazzling light emanating from the "Space-Time Xuan Ji" finally began to fade, and Su Mengyao's beautiful figure gradually emerged. At that moment, she stood firmly atop the mysterious altar, a brilliant smile on her face, her eyes revealing an unparalleled determination. She excitedly shouted, "Great! I did it! I truly made it through this mysterious tunnel of space and time!" Her voice echoed throughout the space, as if to convey her joy to everyone.

Taoist Wuchen also breathed a sigh of relief. His experimental mission had been completed, and now it was up to Su Mengyao. He believed that this brave and wise woman would create more miracles and legends in her future explorations.
