I alone am the Honoured One!-Chapter 742: Finally...

Meanwhile, back in the artifact, Xia Shenyi was standing in front of her mirror in her room as she wore her clothes.

She was quite excited and nervous at the same time because she is finally leaving the artifact.

At this time, the door to her room opened and Zhao Tian stepped in.

A soft smile bloomed on her face looking at him "Tian..."

He walked to her and she moved forward, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"You are finally leaving the artifact huh..." he murmured as his warm breath hit her temple.

Xia Shenyi nodded her head and leaned on his chest "Mhm..."

Zhao Tian closed his eyes for a moment as he remembered the countless memories with her in the artifact "Everything started from this artifact and from you... Shenyi."

"If only you were not trapped in the artifact and found me, I would still be a college student on Earth."

Hearing this, Xia Shenyi let out a soft chuckle and raised her head to look at him.

She leaned forward, pressing a kiss on his lips "Yeah..."

"I still remember the first day I met you... you have come so far now. it feels weird..."

His gaze squinted slightly "Weird? How?"

Xia Shenyi tilted her head, her fingers tracing small circles on the back of his neck "The boy who used to look at me with uncertainty, who once struggled to accept the world he was thrown into… is now standing before me like this."

"Strong, confident, feared, and revered by countless people."

"Feels like I watched my son grow up..."

Hearing this, Zhao Tian just sighed and she pressed another soft kiss to the corner of his mouth.

Her warmth lingered against his skin as she whispered, "You've always been mine, Tian… and now, I can finally stand by your side, in the real world."

His hands of her waist tighetened "Mhm..."

As if remembering something, she spoke "By the way, we can't act like we know each other outside..."

She pulled back just enough to meet his gaze, her delicate fingers pressing lightly against his chest "I will go and see my Master first..."

"I will just say... I was trapped in a random artifact and left the space just now... like I dont even know what happened. I don't remember and time passed so quickly.. and stuff like that."

"We can't reveal your artifact to others and your connection with me."

Hearing this, Zhao Tian's gaze squinted and he gave a nod after briefly thinking about it "Mhm..."

Seeing his face, Xia Shenyi's expression softened, but there was still a trace of worry in her eyes "This is only temporary," she reassured him.

"We'll find a way to be together openly. But for now, we have to be careful."

Zhao Tian nodded his head and she smiled gently "Shall we leave then?"

...

*swoosh*

Zhao Tian and Xia Shenyi appeared high above in the sky amidst the white clouds.

As the winds rushed past her face, Xia Shenyi took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air after so many years.

"Ha..." a deep sigh escaped her lips as she looked at the vast skies.

"Looks beautiful..."

Her gaze shifted downward looking ar the vast landscape beside the sect "So much has changed... And yet, it still feels so familiar."

She spread her arms slightly, tilting her head back, letting the wind rush through her hair. "The skies…" she murmured, "they feel even bigger than I remember."

She glanced at Zhao Tian, a small smile tugging at her lips "When I was trapped in the artifact, I often imagined what it would feel like to fly freely again. But this… this is so much more than I ever dreamed of."

She moved forward a bit, floating amidst the clouds and Zhao Tian followed her as both of them continued floating amidst the skies.

As time passed, they continued flotaing around.

Zhao Tian glimpsed at Xia Shenyi who had a big smile on her face "Shenyi... you go and see your Master. I am going back to my Artifact."

"Hm..." She nodded, her gaze lingering on him for just a moment longer before she turned her head toward the sect below.

With that, he disappeared and Xia Shenyi dashed down toward the Sect.

From above, she could see the vast expanse of the sect, but her eyes immediately narrowed when she noticed the destruction.

The once-proud sect lay in ruins—half-collapsed pavilions, shattered stone paths, and broken formations barely holding together.

Reaching close to the ground, she dashed toward the Celestial Star wing.

She quickly reached there and quickly landed on the ground.

The moment her feet touched the ground outside the Celestial Star Wing, a wave of nostalgia washed over her.

Her heart pounded in excitement.

She is back home.

The surrounding female disciples were surprised to see a new beautiful woman suddenly appearing there.

Xia Shenyi barely paid them any attention.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

She didn't have time to explain herself, and even if she did, who among them would believe the truth?

She hurriedly moved forward and her heart raced as memories surfaced—walking down these same paths as a disciple, training under the watchful gaze of her Master, laughing with her fellow sisters.

It felt both familiar and foreign at the same time.

'Would Master even recognize me after so many years…?'

She knew where she needed to go... the Wing Master's quarters.

Even though it had been so long, she still remembered the way as if she had walked it just yesterday.

The corridors, the courtyards, the soft glow of star-infused lanterns lining the walls—it was all deeply engraved in her memory.

She rushed past the disciples, and her pace increased as she neared her destination.

And then, finally...

She stood before the large wooden doors of the Wing Master's quarters.

Taking a deep breath, she pushed the doors open and stepped inside.

The familiar scent of the room incense instantly washed over her, filling her lungs with a sense of calm she hadn't felt in years.

The room was just as she remembered... elegant yet simple, just like her Master, Yan Zijin.

Sensing a presence entering her quarters, Yan Zijin walked out and when she saw Xia Shenyi standing at the entrance, her eyes widened in shock.

"S-Shenyi?"

Xia Shenyi's breath caught in her throat.

It was her.

Her Master.

"...Master," Xia Shenyi whispered...

Their gazes met.

And in that instant, the years that had separated them, the endless time Xia Shenyi had spent in the artifact, the pain of being unable to return...

It all vanished.

And now only relief filled her heart.

She was finally home.
