The forbidden virgin of heaven kept counting, “...fifty..fifty-one...”.
Yi Ping's group had already climbed to three thousand steps but they were all exhausted! It was extremely unlikely that they could reach the top in a matter of a hundred!
Those who still had the strength to help each other to support each other, refused to abandon any of them!
Shen Xingyue had grabbed Yi Ping and Yunzi as she climbed the stairs at a shocking speed but at the same time she had also slowed down to wait for the other girls…
When Yi Ping saw the shocking speed that Shen Xingyue could reach, he was shocked. He asked weakly, “Xingyue, you've recovered from your internal injuries?”
Yi Ping was not the only one who was shocked.
Stellar Heaven Fairy jerked, “Your injury ..”
Ascension Goddess sighed weakly, “That was only due to the effects of her Divine Rejuvenate Force.”
The forbidden heavenly maiden who was at the top kept counting by echoing, “... Sixty .. Sixty-one ..”
Shen Xingyue took a slow breath and her eyes melancholy, “I have not recovered my strength completely and the final battle has taken a heavy toll. It's still not good enough and we still can't reach the top in time.”.
Everyone was silent as they stared up …
How difficult was the concept of climbing ten thousand steps and reaching the peak? Each of the stairs is two feet high. Ten thousand steps meant that they had to go up to twenty thousand feet!
Even Shen Xingyue, Lele, Lingfeng, Youxue and Yixian who prided themselves on having the best speed and light skills were all not confident of reaching the top in a matter of a hundred!
That is an impossible task!
However, they continued to climb the stairs as fast as they could even though they knew that it was an impossible thing!
Lele said nonchalantly, “Maybe he just gave an empty threat to scare us and Kirin Gold is just a clever trick! I just can't believe that he's an Immortal being. At least, he doesn't look like that. I.”
Yi Ping could not help but ask, “What does the Eternal figure look like?”
Lele smiled shyly at him as he winked at him, “Of course he should look like you! As for him, He is too full of evil and loner murders to be a benevolent immortal being!”
Yi Ping smiled bitterly at his assumptions, unsure whether he should agree or not.
But he immediately said in despair when he saw everyone, “Don't wait for me again. Without me... some of us might survive to the top ..”
He was suddenly surprised. It was because he suddenly realized that all the girls were looking at him with affectionate eyes and revealed a thousand feelings at the same time!
Yixian smiled gently, “Ping’Er, so quickly that you forgot that we've promised each other?”
Stellar Heaven Fairy looked at everyone timidly, “And also close brother now ..”
Yunzi smiled, “I've never been this happy.”
Youxue glanced at Heavenly Fairy Yixian as she nodded while saying sadly, “Knowing everyone is the best thing that has happened to me ..”
Yu’Er has a beautiful look in her eyes, “Tanpamu, will Mei’Er and I remember who we really are?”
Mei’Er sighed softly, “That's right. It shows our sacrifice is not in vain.”
He was referring to their sacrifice for the White Sage of course …
Old Man Universal interjected with a heavy puff of breath, “Don't drag me ..” But no one noticed.
Lie Qing said firmly, “We won't die just because he said so. Not without a fight, Kirin or not.”.
Shen Xingyue said softly, “Ping’Er, we have so many missed opportunities.
He looked gently towards Eclipse Heaven Goddess Yu’Er, Axis Heaven Goddess Mei’Er and Ascension Goddess Ye Yin before sighing regretfully, “I wish we could all make friends early and not in this state.”
Goddess Ascension said gently, “If I am not injured and little sister Xingyue does not expend her internal strength to save me, along with Yu’Er and Mei’Er we may still have hope ..”
Yu’Er asked, “You mean the Four Aggregate Sword Formation?”
Mei’Er took a nervous breath and her eyes shone.
Yu’Er muttered, “The infinite produces the ultimate, the ultimate produces two complementary forces, the two complementary forces produce four aggregate forms, the four aggregates define millions of complementary energy changes ..”
Ascension Goddess nodded, “That's right. It was said to be the strongest sword formation of the Ascension Sect that required four Supreme Celestials to form. It was made by Eclipse Heaven Goddess and Axis Heaven Goddess.”.
Mei’Er smiled weakly, “Unfortunately, this Four Aggregate Sword Formation is an incomplete swordplay.”
Shen Xingyue was surprised, “What do you mean?”
Yu’Er is a little embarrassed, “There is only Mei’Er and I. It should be a four-man sword formation. Then when we have broken our holy sword, we also stop refining the sword formation. The Four Aggregates Sword Formation was given such high rewards just because it was made by us. No more.”
Lele said with a sudden inspiration when he saw the Stellar Heaven Fairy, “We still get the Celestial Star Sword Formation!”
Stellar Heaven Fairy smiled weakly at the suggestion but Lele continued happily, “Yixian, Lie Qing and I will form the first attack formation ..”
The Stellar Heaven Fairy said softly, “Lele, the steps here are uneven thus making the Celestial Star Sword Formation difficult to execute. Moreover, half of us are too tired to make a move now and it will leave a vulnerable point for our opponents to do so. That would further harm us all.”
Lele is irritated when she struggles to take another step, “Surely we can do something?”
Suddenly, he noticed that everyone was staring at the forbidden heavenly maiden with worry. That was because the count would reach the end!
“Ninety Seventy .. Ninety Eighty ...”
The forbidden heavenly maiden stopped to assess their entire group before saying coldly, “Ninety...nine!”
At this moment, Yi Ping's group had stopped in their tracks as they tried to recover as many vital breaths as possible for the upcoming battle.
Youxue asked slowly, “He will kill us?”
Lingfeng nodded solemnly, “If she goes back on her words then it is impossible for her to reach her level of divinity. The stronger a heavenly practitioner was, the more difficult it was for them to disrespect their words. Moreover, if this is indeed his refuge, then we are all intruders.”
Everyone is silent.
That was because even in the martial fraternity, interfering with one's holy land was an act punishable by death. It was the same thing for the heavenly fraternity even if heaven forbade killing.
Goddess Ascension muttered coldly, “I think I am the most difficult to deal with the celestials in the Celestial Realm. But today, I have met someone who is even harder than me.”
The forbidden heavenly maiden trembled lightly as she echoed coldly with her Thousand Miles Resonance Skill, “I don't understand. I don't quite understand. He is only a lowly heavenly practitioner while many of you are the true heavenly of the Celestials. Natures. However, you are willing to sacrifice your achievements for a lowly heavenly practitioner. You realize that once you reach the peak, it means you are one step ahead to the Eternal Realm? “
Lie Qing echoed with the Thousand Miles Resonance Skill in return, “Unfortunately, I am also a lowly heavenly practitioner and far from the Eternal Realm for miles!”
Shen Xingyue echoed with her Thousand Miles Resonance Skill as well, “I may be a true heavenly practitioner but I am satisfied with the man I love. It doesn't matter whether he is a lowly heavenly practitioner or not.no, I don't want to live either. And this heart-wrenching formula of eternal practice doesn't even matter to me!”
All the girls nodded defiantly at the same time!
Shen Xingyue had voiced their thoughts!
Parents of the Universe muttered with ******softly, “What is such self-sacrificing love? Eternal practice is so close but so far. But if I lose all my friends ..”
He glanced towards Heaven, “I won't make it this far today. If it is my destiny to die then let it be!”
Yi Ping had stepped forward weakly as he stood upright with the support of Celestial Alice. He looked at the forbidden heavenly girl as he said, “I don't know the Thousand Miles Resonance Skill, nor do I have the martial power to shout out loud. But I know that you can hear me clearly.”
He paused for a weak cough before saying, “We don't want to be here and we don't know why the Astronomical Star Formation suddenly descended upon us. Miss, if we have disturbed your shelter, please forgive me. We and show us a merciful exit!”
The heavenly maiden who forbade it replied coldly, “You don't need to beg me. I said I'd kill you all in a hundred and I would. Moreover, it is a heartless and unfaithful man like you!”
Yi Ping asked, “I am a heartless and unfaithful man?”
The forbidden virgin of heaven said coldly, “There are many men who are good at deceiving and using their honeycomb words to trick gullible girls into their arms. If you are a loyal man and a self-conscious man, then you only have a heart for one and must reject the rest.”
Yi Ping could not disagree with him!
It was because he had always felt the same way and harbored an overwhelming sense of guilt towards all girls. That's because he doesn't know what else to do …
The heavenly girl who forbade it said coldly, “So, there is nothing more you can say?”
Yixian stepped forward gracefully as she said softly. She held her gaze on the forbidden angel of heaven and not once did she worry or show any signs of doubt as she said softly, “First, I am not a gullible virgin. Second, I am a willing virgin. Third, Ping’Er has saved my life many times. Fourth, Ping’Er is not a con and heartless!”
All the girls nodded!
Lingfeng glanced at Yi Ping before saying, “He may be hard sometimes but he is willing to give up his life for all of us!”
Lingfeng became moody and she smiled sweetly at herself as she recalled how she first had Yi Ping and how she had looked for him in the Sacred Amalgamate Mountains even though she was aware that almost the entire clan was orthodox martial attacked the Sacred Hex Sect.
All the girls nodded at the same time!
Lie Qing hummed coldly, “I always thought that I was the least believer ..”
He glanced at Yi Ping calmly and his voice suddenly became rough, “.... Even after he saved my life with the Divine Dragon Pill, I still could not believe it. I'm even more solid than him ..”
All the other girls pursed their lips as they reminisced about the good and bad times with Yi Ping as they looked at her with a thousand affections!
The forbidden heavenly maiden said coldly, “If I only take her life in exchange for the lives of all of you, is she still willing?”
Yi Ping replied firmly with fire straight in his eyes, “I'm willing! All too ready! You...must..keep your promise!”
The forbidden heavenly girl looked at him coldly before replying, “I promise you nothing. Did I say something about promising you something?”
Yi Ping coughed up blood when he heard that as he became unsteady!
Immediately, all the girls immediately swarmed frantically around him, showing him with all sorts of attention!
Even the forbidden heavenly maiden was shocked as evidenced by her expressive eyes when Yi Ping suddenly coughed up blood but she quickly regained her icy calm before anyone noticed her.
It was because the blood Yi Ping had released was gold, not red!
Yunzi frantically asked, “Ping’Er poisoned?!”
Yixian and Lingfeng quickly shook their heads as they checked Yi Ping's weak pulse while the Ascension Goddess said, “There are no signs of poisoning. Ping’Er, you should calm down and not fall into the provocation of deceiving him. You have just suffered a dangerous match due to the raging emotions that have invaded your heart ..”
The forbidden heavenly maiden was panting and she was trembling, “Gold blood Kirin! You really have dissolved Kirin's blood into your own blood and survived?!”
Lingfeng gasped loudly while the Universal Old Man had an expression of disbelief on his face!
According to the ancient lore of the Heavenly Realm, anyone who possessed Kirin's blood could demonstrate Kirin's power!
The Fire Kirin Divine Pill was one of the rarest divine pills in the Heavenly Realm. It is said to be made from the heart of Kirin. Originally, there were three Divine Pill Kirin Flames like that created. But the Ancient Celestial who had successfully concocted the Fire Kirin Divine Pill, the Encompassing Sage itself was consumed by the madness of the Fire Kirin Divine Pill and had died.
His only protege, the Mad Conqueror inherited the remaining two Kirin Fire Divine Pills. When he was severely injured by his enemies, he decided to take the first step by consuming one of the two Divine Pill Kirin Flames. Not only had he survived the dangerous first step but his martial power had also increased tremendously. From that day on, he was known as the Mad Conqueror and one of the seven most powerful celestials of their generation!
His current whereabouts are unknown and he is presumed to have died in Stellar Sanctuary. The majority of the Ancient Celestials had perished either in the Stellar Sanctuary or the Astronomical Stellar Formation. The surviving Kirin Divine Fire Pill might disappear and become a heavenly treasure that was eagerly sought after by the other gods!
But how could Yi Ping have Kirin's blood?
It was because when he slashed at Kirin, he had been splashed by Kirin's poisonous blood. But because Yi Ping had once drank some Divine Dragon Pills, Negative Core Divine Pills and Thousand Year Old Ice Fish. Coupled with the balancing effect of her Absolute Equilibrium Power that was further refined by the Forget Compassion Wine and with the help of the Universal Power of the Heavenly Alice, the, the blood positive deviation from Kirin had no negative effect on Yi Ping aside from the start.
Therefore Yi Ping was not only fighting against Kirin's poisonous blood, he was also absorbing Kirin's blood into himself without the madness and toxic effects of Kirin's blood!
However, all of this was of course unknown to Lingfeng, Universal Old Man and Yi Ping!
Universal Parents jerked, “Gruesome! He has suffered from the madness of Kirin!”
Catfish jerked, “Ping’Er will go crazy?”
Lingfeng nodded melancholy …
Universal Old Man nodded solemnly, “When madness prevails over him, he won't even remember any of you and he won't stop killing until everyone dies regardless of enemies or friends!”
Lie Qing immediately hugged Yi Ping as she muttered softly, “I don't care. I won't leave you..”.
Even Yixian hugged gently beside Yi Ping as she said softly, “Ping’Er, I won't blame you if you forget about me.”
Shen Xingyue hugged tightly as she muttered, “Ping’Er, no problem. Today may be our last battle.”.
Suddenly, everyone was shocked when the forbidden heavenly maiden appeared in their midst all of a sudden as she grabbed Yi Ping's wrist and checked his pulse!
He was very calm and unafraid even though he had just come into their midst and had exposed himself to some fatal gaps!
Everyone except Yi Ping instantly thought, “This is the best chance to drop it...are we going to attack him now or not?”
The forbidden heavenly girl sighed softly, “I don't understand. He just needs a little break.”.
The forbidden heavenly maiden was truly amazing and Yi Ping was timid, not daring to look at her directly. It was because she suddenly realized that her clothes were too revealing, her skirt was really too short and she stared straight at her chest!
The forbidden heavenly maiden said coldly as if she could hear everyone's hidden thoughts, “You must be thinking if this is the right time to take the opportunity to attack me now that I am in your midst. If you can defeat me, then the secret of the Eternal Training is waiting for you inside.”
Although his advice was gentle and gentle but everyone except Lele was already trembling before him! This immediately revealed the difference in their martial level as it manifested through their innate instincts!
The heavenly girl who forbids it mocked calmly, “If you don't try, how do you know that you can't possibly win?”
Since Lele was the only one who showed no fear and he was also very easily provoked, he immediately reacted by raising a finger to stab him as he said. “One stays! Then don't blame me for trying!”
Yixian frantically shouted, “Lele, no!”
But it's too late. Just as Lele raised his finger, the forbidden heavenly maiden raised her finger forward and struck Lele on her forehead with a tremendous punch!
His speed, strength, and reflexes, were so astonishing that Lele fell to the ground without a fight!
At the same time, everyone was shocked and stunned!
Yi Ping was stunned as he shouted, “Lele!”
He immediately broke away from the forbidden heavenly maiden and raised his hand to slap her. To his astonishment, the forbidden heavenly maiden did not attempt to dodge her bumbling attack and she got a hard slap on her face!
There were bruises on her beautiful porcelain face. As he turned to look at Yi Ping with watery eyes, his bruises disappeared as quickly as they appeared!
He asked in melancholy, “You ... slapped me?”
Yi Ping said angrily, “Why don't I? You just stole my wife's life! Do you know how important Lele is to me? If you are a superior immortal being, you can choose to apply leniency.Disturb your holy land, but do you have to be so heartless in taking a life?”
Lingfeng quickly grabbed Yi Ping as she said in a low whisper, “Lele is fine ... nothing happened to her ..”
Yi Ping was startled as he turned to look at Lele who had just begun to come to a realization as he groaned weakly.
Shen Xingyue was stunned as she checked Lele's pulse, “It looks like your cosmic channel has been cleared by him! It will make your future achievements much easier!”
Lele groaned weakly as he looked at the forbidden heavenly maiden with a surprised expression, “You ... you have truly sacrificed your precious internal strength to clear my cosmos accupoint .... why ?!”
Clearing the channels of other martial practitioners was a dangerous job even by the most powerful martial practitioners and it was not something that even close associates would do for each other. That was because his success rate was not only low and whether his efforts were successful or not, the sacrifice for one's internal strength was a permanent loss!
The forbidden heavenly maiden said coldly, “You were the first person to have the courage to exchange blows with me for centuries. So let it be your gift. If you still don't want to admit defeat to me, you have to fix yourself first.”
While Lele was still confused, Yi Ping stammered apologizing, “I ... I'm sorry ..”
But that forbidden celestial angel seemed to ignore Yi Ping as he turned around calmly, “What are you all waiting for? Don't you want to know the secret of Immortal Practice?”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say …
Yi Ping was already confused with guilt but he ventured to say, “Girl, forgive me for my actions just now. We didn't know that this was your sacred place. Now that we know, we won't dare to do so. intrude again. If you can guide us out of the Astronomical Star Formation, we will be very grateful!”
The Old Man of the Universe was shocked when he secretly thought, “Ouch! My stupid protege! Eternal practice is inside. We can only peek a little. I would be content to catch a glimpse even if it meant I would die there.”.
Ascension Goddess was also secretly surprised, “If the secret of Stellar Sanctuary is in the Astronomic Stellar Formation and it is very difficult even to get into its center, it is certainly worth to see what its sanctuary looks like. “.
The forbidden heavenly maiden stared intently at Yi Ping, “You are not interested in Eternal Practice?”
Yi Ping replied honestly, “Maybe in the future but not now!”
The forbidden heavenly maiden looked everyone in the eye, “You all are also not interested in the Eternal Practice?”
Yunzi shook her head, “I will follow whatever decision Ping’Er chooses. Is there a divine skill of Immortal Practice heart complexity that is inside, I don't care.”
Yixian smiled gently, “The same applies to me as well!”
Everyone nodded as they expressed their desire to obey whatever Yi Ping had made!
The forbidden heavenly maiden looked at Yi Ping as she said unhurriedly, “Really? You really don't want to know what's in it?”
He sneered again, “If you all attack me at the same time, I might not be able to win. Anyway, my internal strength is now compromised.”
Yi Ping replied, “I know my limits. If I am not mistaken, then this Astronomical Star Formation is a test for the worthy. I can't even defeat a single Kirin at the boundary of the Astronomical Star Formation. Geez know what trials and hardships are still waiting for us inside. I'd rather you let us go quietly. When I am sure in the future, I will definitely visit you!”
He paused for a moment before adding, “Even if we can defeat you, there are still two Golden Kirin on top waiting for us. We were destined to lose even before the fight started!”
The forbidden heavenly maiden looked at Yi Ping uneasily. She seems to have a lot to tell him but is also reluctant at the same time. He glanced at Goddess Ascension and the Universal Old Man while saying, “”You are honest, but some of you may not be completely honest.”
Yi Ping asked, “Girl, are you going to show us the way out?”
The proscribed angel of heaven asked, “What do you think?”
Yi Ping was surprised by his answer as he stuttered, “I...didn't know..why didn't the girl tell me?”
The forbidding heavenly girl said coldly, “You have slapped me so hard. Do you think I will let many of you escape from the Stellar Astronomical Formation with ease? If you haven't slapped me, maybe I'll consider letting you go. “
Yi Ping was stunned as he muttered, “I'm sorry ... you can slap me as much as you want ..”
The heavenly maiden who forbade it replied coldly, “It is too late to regret now. Some things that have been done cannot be undone.”
Yi Ping stuttered, “I ..”
Lingfeng pull Yi Ping, “Ping’Er, save your breath. No matter what you do, he won't let us go!”
Yi Ping asked, “Lingfeng, what do you mean?”
Lingfeng said softly and her alluring eyes bowed, “Can't you say that she is the one who deliberately visited the Astronomical Star Formation on us?”
Everyone gasps…
Yi Ping asked weakly, “Why?”
The forbidden heavenly maiden did not admit to anything. Instead, he turned around calmly as he said coldly, “Follow me closely. Don't blame me if you lose sight of me or my little dog will think you are an unwanted visitor and tear you apart.”
He actually referred to this big and powerful Kirin as a small dog, but everyone was not amused…
As he climbed the stairs, Yi Ping and the Universal Old Man had an incredible view from his hindsight. Immediately, Yi Ping and Old Man Universal experienced a nosebleed as they became extremely confused!
It was immediately noticed by the other girls.
Mei’Er is looking at Universal Old Man, “Dirty old man, what do you see?”
Lele said sadly to Yi Ping, “What is it that makes you so confused?”
Yi Ping smiled bitterly, “I..aku..no...”.
At the same time, Lingfeng Heavenly was thinking silently to herself. “Is he really the Dark Lord of the Chaos Cosmos? That's not possible. That's because..”
