Martialism

Chapter 36's

Ding Yun was already waiting for Yi Ping with the two swords in his hands. One was a fine long sword while the other was a soft and thin sword.

Yi Ping looked puzzled as he walked towards her but looking at her now, made her heart beat faster. He put in great effort to control his heartbeat through the Complexity Skills of the Heart of Divine Revelation.

It was because Ding Yun's hair was braided into a bun and a long left pony. Although Ding Yun was not the prettiest girl he had ever known, but her reserved demeanor and refined demeanor always made her heart pound.

In the past when he suspected that he was Yixian's killer, he was obsessed with looking for her to avenge Yixian. However, he knew now that he was really interested in her because her heart never stopped beating fast every time she was with him. He actually recalled all of his small movements and expressions with a heart.

He was really afraid to look into her dull expressionless eyes as it seemed to have magical powers that seemed to attract him. He did not believe that he actually had the persistence to ask her to be his wife in times of anxiety to calm his suicidal tendencies.

He sighed in his heart, "Lingfeng, Youxue, I'm so sorry .. There are still Meijian and Yujian. Unfortunately, Yi Ping, what is wrong with you? You're just a heartless and unfaithful person, unworthy of being a hero like you. How will I explain it to your father?"

But when he saw Ding Yun again, his mind became pounding again and he thought, "Yi Ping, you are very lucky to know him. As long as she doesn't end her life prematurely and has calmed down in the future, you can't hurt her and take her seriously as your wife or you will really hurt her. Yixian now that I know you're alive, I'll definitely look for you."

Among all the girls he knew, only Shui Yixian was the only person he truly felt and he was also his rightful wife as they had gone through a sacred marriage vow. And he intends to keep his promise to her and look for her as soon as possible because he misses her so much.

He had not expected that after he left the Heavenly Mountains, he would crash into so many things. He had met Ji Lingfeng, his father and many others. But her biggest headache is actually Lele. He didn't really know how to explain it to Yixian. Should he leave Yixian for his own good?

Yi Ping sighed again. He did not blame Yixian for hiding his own death from her. After all, she might have her own predicament and the Yixian she knew, was a gentle girl and she might do it for her own good as well.

But she had instead betrayed her trust in him and had violated Shui Yujian and Meijian in her drunken state.

He suddenly thought, "What if Yixian knows what I did to Yu’Er and Mei’Er? Maybe that's why he didn't even want to see me. I was so sinful. Ow hell! Yixian, what should I do? done that. You will never forgive me now. You have tried to pray for me happiness and even appoint me as the protege leader of the Eternal Ice Palace so that my daily needs can be met. But I have betrayed your trust … "

Ding Yun looked at him sharply before he interrupted calmly, "You're late for practice. Where's Lele?"

Yi Ping stammered, "I.Lele, he's still washing by the pool."

This gorge has many ponds and rivers.

He added quickly, "He said that the water here was magical and he didn't want to leave a scar, so he wanted to soak in the pool a little longer."

Ding Yun beamed softly, "You two seem to enjoy playing around in the pond every morning."

Yi Ping became a dead red as he stammered in embarrassment, "She .. she …"

Every morning, Lele secretly caught Yi Ping and took him to a secluded place.

In the morning when Yi Ping was still sleeping in the cave, Lele woke him up by whispering to him, "Ping, I think I have found a way out. Can you come with me in peace?"

Yi Ping asked, "I went to wake Yun’Er, wait for me …"

Lele smiled mysteriously, "No need. Let's just see it first. There was a large rock blocking the road. I need your help to push the stone to the side. Come on."

Yi Ping yawned sleepily as he followed her.

Lele took him to a remote place far away from the cave as he looked at him nervously.

Yi Ping looked around the place as he asked, "Where is the stone?"

Lele said softly, "There are only pigs here."

Yi Ping was startled as he unsheathed his long sword, "Where is that pig? It'll be good food."

Lele was so agitated that she scolded him, "You are a pig, silly!"

Yi Ping was surprised, "I'm a pig?"

Lele said, "If you're not a pig, then who?"

Yi Ping was surprised when he asked, "Lele, surely you didn't ask me to come here just to call me a pig?"

Lele sighed, "The base of a stupid pig. You don't even know what I want?"

Yi Ping blinked his eyes as he exclaimed, "Sorry, but the way out is not clear to me. Yes, I'm a pig, but can you show me the stone?"

Lele smiled bitterly as he sighed, "Why are you. Did you forget what we did last night?"

Yi Ping blushed as he stuttered, "I .. remember …"

Lele suddenly kissed her as she said, "So, do you know what I want now?"

Usually Lele wouldn't be so brave. It was because he had used the Bewitching Soul Seizing Skill in Yi Ping. While this skill had a strong influence on others, it was actually a life-and-death contest between the will of the victim and the practitioner. So it can't be used lightly. Even Lie Qing did not dare to use it outside of the initial examination.

But Lele had taken the skill a step further because she was afraid of losing Yi Ping and letting herself get hurt. He was certain that a young man like Yi Ping would never have the level of divinity to go against the Witchy Soul Seizing Skill. He was wrong and the skill backfired for him; instead of causing Yi Ping to fall in love desperately, he fell in love instead.

Of course, the main reason why he dared to use the Magic Soul Seizing Skill to lure Yi Ping was because he really liked Yi Ping.

Fortunately, his state of divinity was strong enough to resist his own skills and the only negative effect was to weaken his natural resilience, strengthening his love for Yi Ping.

Yi Ping was naturally a shy young man. She was electrocuted when Lele suddenly kissed her lightly and her heartbeat fluttered when she touched her soft body. He thought of pushing her away but it seemed like all of his strength had gone from her and he felt awkward.

The fact that Lele was an extraordinary beauty weakened her determination. She was not only glamorous but her dedicated gentleness caused her to become dazed. And the fragrance was so pleasant that it seemed to have a spell on him.

Yi Ping had never felt this sensation and feeling before. He tried very hard to remember if he had this feeling with Yu’Er and Mei’Er earlier but those memories always avoided him. He had already died drunk and could not remember anything!

Before he even realized it, he had caught Lele as they kissed, rolled around on the ground and undressed each other. She looked at Lele who was now flushed red in embarrassment as she stroked her soft silk body. Her embarrassment was obvious because she was very fair, just as fair as Yixian, Yu’Er and Mei’Er.

Although Yi Ping had met many beautiful girls but this was the first time he was overpowered by lust and for now, there was nothing on his mind except for Lele.

Yi Ping was a sentimental person who deeply felt kinship and friendship with a strong sense of truth. He would never take the first initiative to the Lele court. But a series of extraordinary encounters and coincidences unite them.

What they do not know is that they have lost their first time to each other as well.

That is why they are now awkwardly entangled in each other's arms as they learn and experience new sensations together.

Lele said softly, "You clumsy pig …"

Yi Ping said, "I've never done this kind of thing before …"

Lele bit her shoulder hard as she said, "You're obviously a liar. You have so many girls around you. Unfortunately, why should I fall into your hands …"

Yi Ping smiled bitterly, "I should have said that …"

He was interrupted by another painful bite by Lele as he said softly, "Liar, liar! We should try to do it every day …"

And that's what they secretly do every morning…

However, their actions did not go unnoticed by Maiden Ding Yun as he said in a low whisper, "The two of you are getting too out of control and getting noisier. Don't you realize that I can hear your echo in this valley…"

Yi Ping suddenly froze in embarrassment.

Just when Yi Ping did not know what to say, Lele suddenly appeared as he whispered shyly, "Good brother, let me spar with Yi Ping first!"

Yi Ping was relieved that Lele had arrived in time to save him from the awkward question.

Lele shifted his gaze from Ding Yun. He thought shyly, "What a shame! Sister Ding Yun has heard us. Now I need a hole to hide …"

Lele raised his dark scythe as he leaped towards Yi Ping, making three quick thrusts in the air! This swinging technique is his ‘Rapid Mirage Bursts’.

Yi Ping exerted his martial power to steady himself even as he raised his white emerald sword as the silent wind force of Lele's attack threatened to sweep him away!

The most frightening thing about Lele's attack was his incredible speed. Although his dark scythe seemed heavy, many careless opponents were actually tricked into attacking it quickly and hence lost their lives as they lost their footing when the silent wind shocked them.

Even standing on their ground to exchange blows with him was not an option because his dark scythe was so heavy and physically draining to fend him off.

Yi Ping internal strength was not weak. In fact, due to many lucky coincidences, his internal strength and martial power had increased so rapidly in the past year that most of the boxers throughout their lives could not even dream of it.

Although Yi Ping had fended off ‘Rapid Mirage Bursts’ Lele several times with ‘Improved Horizon Swordplay’ improvised with the help of Ding Yun, it was still a frightening and physically draining experience for him. It required full concentration and he did not dare to be rash.

The Enhanced Horizon Sword Game is an improvised new swordplay inspired by Maiden Ding Yun to absorb the impact of an opponent's attack and weaken the opponent's strength by using the sword as a shield.

Even when the three bright light explosions and the impact of the screams could be seen and heard, Lele had followed up with another three quick strikes!

Yi Ping immediately followed up with three more punches to fight him off.

In less than a few seconds, they had exchanged over twenty blows!

Lele smiled, "It's so good. You're improving. You used to not even be able to handle my first ten blows in the past."

Yi Ping shouted, "Lele, you are unfocused and careless …"

He ran quickly to Lele with his sword when he had just missed him and talked to him. But to her great disbelief, Lele suddenly pulled her dark scythe, turned it over and smashed it like a heavy pole onto her shoulder!

Yi Ping reaction was not slow as he had parried with his long sword but the weight and power of his dark scythe was too heavy for him to bear as he fell to the ground!

Yi Ping was stunned as he said, "Lele, what kind of attack is this? You used your weapon as a pole!?"

Lele laughed softly, "You're dead. I won again."

He pretended to yawn as he said softly, "Nobody said my weapon was just a pole arm. If you make use of the deliberate front opening, then my weapon will be a pole. Do you understand me? In a fight, you have to be careful and avoid unnecessary steps. Sometimes the opening you see is just a trick. "

Yi Ping nodded with a sigh, "I have exerted all my martial power with the Aspire Invocations. I just don't understand why I can't block your attack. It was as if your weapon had suddenly become extremely heavy and I could feel a great suffocating burden falling on me. Why so?"

Lele stretched out his dark scythe with one hand as he said coldly, "Look if you can snatch my weapon from me."

Yi Ping rubbed his palm before he tried to pull the black scythe from him. But no matter how hard he pulled with both hands, he could not snatch it from her! It was as if he had cast a spell on it. He really could not believe that even with two hands, he could not pull the one-inch dark scythe away from her even though Lele only gripped her with one hand!

Yi Ping was stunned, "This is impossible! It's not just internal power alone.it's a supernatural feat..”.

Ding Yun who was watching the scene, laughed softly. "Yi Ping, this is not a supernatural achievement. This is ‘Performance Thousand Weights’. He was able to increase the weight of his weapons and even himself dozens of times heavier with his martial power. That's why you didn't see it emitting any martial power."

Yi Ping was startled, "There is an incredible achievement in this fraternity? Lele, can you teach me this skill?"

Lele smiled shyly, "You're my husband. Of course I'm willing to teach you. But first you have to start with the basics first. You can try to start by carrying my sickle and climbing the tree there a hundred times a day. "

As Yi Ping turned around and looked at the towering tree, he was astonished because he knew how heavy the scythe of Lele was. He silently thought, "So that's why he always carries this evil-looking scythe so that he can train his internal strength at all times?"

Ding Yun said softly, "Lele is just teasing you. With your current cultivation in internal strength, it will be easy for you. Don't you know?"

Yi Ping smiled bitterly, "I really don't know!"

Lele laughed merrily, "Sister Yun, you should have let him suffer for a while."

Ding Yun smiled shyly, "He is.he is.my husband. We shouldn't lie to him even if it's just a joke."

Yi Ping clapped his hands as he said, "No wonder every time I fight with the two of you and Yuan Hao, I can feel an unbearable overwhelming power …"

Lele said, "That's because you're too focused on martial power and not your internal strength. What if you miss your Martial Power, you will only waste your physical strength. Although our weapon techniques look ordinary, weak and boring.practice, we probably won't lose to you in the long run."

Yi Ping said, "Lele, are you carrying such a heavy scythe? Don't you feel that it's too troublesome and tiring?"

Lele smiled mysteriously.

Suddenly, he removed the evil double crescent blade from the dark pole and folded it into a circular shape and put it into his straw hat! So skilled was his demolition move that it only took a blink of an eye to do so.

Yi Ping was stunned as he muttered, "It became a real pole now …"

Lele laughed softly, "That's right."

Yi Ping said, "No wonder, you also look so expert with that wand."

Ding Yun said, "Not only with his staff, he is also a swordsman."

Yi Ping was startled, "Lele, do you know how to use a sword? Why didn't you use the sword against Yuan Hao? You may not lose …"

Lele sighed, "Don't remind me. It's just that I haven't had a chance to draw my sword."

Yi Ping looked at him carefully before he asked, "Where is your sword?"

Lele smiled shyly, "Stop looking at me like this."

He took out a circular double blade from his straw hat and separated it into two scythes as he twisted the scythe in front of him!

Yi Ping could feel the evil slices of the double sickle as he trembled in fear even though he was not completely within Lele's arith range.

He was stunned as he quickly said, "Lele, this is the feeling I have with Yuan Shao. Hurry, let's fight again."

Lele laughed sheepishly, "No way! I've never seen anyone who tried death like you."

Yi Ping said awkwardly, "Of course I'm afraid of death but if I let fear overwhelm me, how do I hope to defeat Honor Manor and Virtuous Palace in the future?"

Ding Yun said coldly, "That's what you said but in reality, you don't even bother to think about the consequences."

After spending time with Yi Ping, Ding Yun realized that Yi Ping was a fearless fighter who would not hesitate even though his opponent was many times stronger than him.

Yi Ping blushed as he stuttered, "That's not the point. Lele, let's fight with your sword again."

Lele said firmly, "Unless you can withstand at least sixty blows against my scythe technique, it's too dangerous for us to try it. Even with my state of divinity, it would be difficult for me to gauge when to stop."

Yi Ping protested, "But Lele, if I …"

Ding Yun interrupted, "You seem to have forgotten that we haven't practiced yet."

Ding Yun had pulled out his precious sword and his foldable sword at the same time.

Against Virtuous Swordplay Ding Yun, after several days of training and improving Horizon Swordplay, he had discovered the Enhanced Horizon Swordplay he had taken from Lele's weapon technique.

Yi Ping was not discouraged as he said, "I think I have a way to defeat Yuan Shao and you right now."

Ding Yun had actually taught him the entire demeanor and punch of the Virtuous Sword Game in the past few days. He said softly, "Even though you know my punch now but breaking it is another matter entirely."

Against Virtuous Swordplay Ding Yun, Yi Ping attacked quickly and broke free quickly at the same time!

In an instant, Yi Ping had exchanged dozens of punches against Maiden Ding Yun's double sword technique.

No matter how hard he tried, he could not break through his double sword defense. The feeling Ding Yun gave him was an impenetrable defense. He had parried with his long sword and attacked him with his soft long sword at the same time!

Every time, Lele watched their duel, he was still filled with admiration. Yi Ping of course improved greatly as he could now defend against Maiden Ding Yun. But Yi Ping had yet to find a way to break the great changes of the Virtuous Sword Game!

He knew that Maiden Ding Yun also showed a way to break Yuan Shao's swordplay.

Suddenly, Yi Ping changed the direction of his attack from left to right while continuously attacking Ding Yun's left side! The folding sword that was on his left side was not suitable to be blocked against the powerful Horizon Sword Game!

Yi Ping shouted, "Yun’Er, I know your weak point now!"

Ding Yun smiled sweetly, "What took you so long to notice?"

Suddenly, he twisted his foldable sword and threw it at the flying sword towards Yi Ping as he shouted, "Review!"

Yi Ping immediately raised his sword to hold him back but he was forced to retreat a few steps even as the flying sword spun back into Maiden Ding Yun's hands.

Even before Yi Ping could react, he had dropped his foldable sword onto the ground and attacked him with his long sword as he said coldly, "I can do a double flying sword if the soft sword returns to my hand and attacks you. . So what are you gonna do?"

Of course, he did not do so and deliberately just stuck his long sword at Yi Ping.

Yi Ping recovered in time and he suddenly discovered that Ding Yun was now attacking! His sword technique was now similar to Yuan Shao but did not have the frightening aura Yuan Hao had!

They were now exchanging sword blows so quickly and quickly that the entire valley started to echo with their attacks!

Lele held his breath excitedly as he thought, "They two are a new generation of super brotherly exponents? How could they possibly have such an incredible swordplay at their age?"

That was because the swordplay had too many changes. The only way to improve one's swordplay was to continue using it in real combat, training the practitioner's ability to react and their natural instinct to exploit the gaps.

Horizon Swordplay is a swordplay that utilizes both speed and martial power. Combined with the Lele Mirage Speed Technique, Yi Ping almost doubled his attack speed!

The Virtuous Swordplay uses speed, internal force to stabilize it and is also a counterattack swordplay.

No matter how many dozens of Illusory punches Yi Ping had dealt against him, Ding Yun had always parried lightly with a wide bow blow and counterattack with a series of quick punches as well.

Lele shouted excitedly, "This is a series!"

Suddenly, Ding Yun raised his left hand and stabbed towards Yi Ping!

Yi Ping raised his powerful left palm and blocked it easily.

However, even as Ding Yun stabbed him with his left hand, he instantly withdrew and continuously pushed his left hand into his left palm, causing him to hurriedly pull his palm!

He clasped, "Hand Penetrating?! You know this skill too?"

But before he could ask any further, Ding Yun had thrown his long sword and it landed with a violent clash between his legs!

He said calmly, "You're dead."

Ding Yun said, "Indeed. Although swordplay can kill quickly without expending much effort, but the best martial skill of the Virtue Palace is actually the Eighteen Unbreakable Hands, the Penetrating Hands, the, and the Soul Thief's Finger."

Lele interjected as he turned pale, "The Soul Thief's Journey and the Eighteen Unbreakable Hands ?! The Virtue Palace actually possessed these two martial skills?"

Ding Yun said, "This is an inheritance skill that was inherited when the Xiao Clan took over the Virtue Palace from the Red Eye Clan. Xiao Shuai was the only one who knew the Eighteen Unbreakable Hands. As for the Soul Thief Finger, Xiao Shuai and Yuan Shao were the only ones who knew this skill."

Lele asked, "Klan Red Eye? Is there anyone else like me?"

Ding Yun said, "They've been dead a long time."

Lele sighed, "It's a pity. Or …"

He did not continue.

Yi Ping asked, "Or what else?"

Lele said, "Nothing at all."

Yi Ping asked curiously, "There really is nothing?"

Lele ignored Yi Ping as he asked Ding Yun, "Good brother, how can your wounds heal so quickly and without scars?"

Ding Yun replied, "I have practiced the Divine Virtuous Force and this skill has a healing effect."

Lele exclaimed in shock, "What an incredible skill. To think that this divine emblem skill exists. Good sister, will you teach me?"

Ding Yun smiled, "I can teach you but is it risky for you? What if the complicated power of the skill doesn't match yours?"

Lele laughed softly, "Teach me first and I'll see it …"

Yi Ping said solemnly, "Do not teach him like that. This might be too dangerous. The power of Divine Virtue, like my Aspire Invocation which emphasizes on martial power. Lele, your complicated strength is similar to that of the Icy Heavenly Tears which places more emphasis on internal energy. That's too dangerous for you."

Ding Yun said, "I agree. Mother Youxue died because she thought that she could combine the Cold Heavenly Tears and the Power of Divine Virtue together. It ends in tragedy."

Lele smiled, "I don't believe that my Heavenly Strength can't combine skills together."

Yi Ping scolded him, "You might lose your life and worse end up with a permanent disability. So what even if you have succeeded? All of your martial skills will end up deteriorating and you will spend decades to regain them. It's not worth the risk."

Lele was upset, "I have plenty of time."

Yi Ping was trembling.

Both Ding Yun and Lele were surprised to see his face cry.

Lele softened her attitude as she said frantically, "Alright then. I promise you, I won't try to learn this skill. No cry. Real men only shed blood and not tears."

Ding Yun asked Yi Ping, "Ping, what's wrong?"

Yi Ping wiped his silent tears as he muttered, "Nothing. It's just that I'm thinking about my mom and Yixian…"

Lele was shocked, "What does this have to do with your mother?"

Yi Ping said, "My mother and Yixian are protege sisters. In order to avoid the Divine Disaster, they practiced and meditated endlessly. In the end, they cannot enjoy life as they should. I don't think so. worth it…"

Lele admonished him gently, "That's because you haven't reached the proper divinity and haven't received any visions. At the very top, it is nature that you cannot possibly imagine. Without the Divine Disaster, I .. I would never have possibly met you. Don't you think it's destiny?”

Yi Ping asked, "Lele, you really have experienced a Divine Disaster? What was? Can you help Yixian overcome the Divine Disaster?"

Lele looked at Ding Yun and Yi Ping slowly before he said slowly, "I really don't want to reveal anything to others because it is the most sacred secret of the Heavenly Palace."

Yi Ping was disappointed and it was visible on his face.

Lele said, "But you are my husband and Ding Yun is my good sister now. Promise me you won't reveal it to anyone?"

Yi Ping said hurriedly, "I swear to Heaven and Earth that I will not reveal to anyone without your permission or lightning …"

Lele interrupted, "That's enough."

Ding Yun was also curious about the Divine Disaster. He knew from Xiao Shuai that Yuan Hao had prepared for the Divine Disaster and the Virtue Palace had been secretly working towards this goal for decades. That was why Virtuous Palace had always been reluctant to get involved in the affairs of the martial fraternity and even feared injury.

So he had no doubt at all when he said, "The sky and the Earth are my witnesses, I swear that I will not reveal what Sister Lele has revealed to me today."

Lele seemed to have lost the light on her face as her eyes seemed to be staring blankly.

He said desperately, "Actually I don't even know what a Divine Disaster is. It can come in many forms and is a natural phenomenon so frightening that it can kill."

Yi Ping took a deep breath as he listened attentively.

Lele said, "It happens when a practitioner reaches the highest or almost eternal level of divinity when they approach one hundred and twenty. After that, the Divine Disaster will give a warning beforehand for seven days before it happens."

Yi Ping asked, "Can't it be avoided or avoided?"

Lele shook his head, "Can't, but it can be made prematurely."

Yi Ping said, "My father told me that the final move of the Divine Horizon Hand can trigger a Divine Disaster and warned me never to use the last move even when I can in the future."

Lele was startled, "Divine Horizon Hand can trigger a Divine Disaster? That ... must be a strong attitude that transcends human limits."

Yi Ping smiled bitterly, "And that is also an impossible attitude. I have just begun Divine Revelation and have no time for mediation. I would be better off practicing the Aspire Prayer instead. At least, I fight every day. ."

Lele said, "You're just lazy and impatient. Sooner or later, you will be killed in the martial fraternity or Divine Disaster will kill you."

Yi Ping smiled bitterly as he said, "Are Divine Disasters this simple? What's the secret behind it?"

Lele seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally saying, "There are only two people I know who have ever managed to survive a Divine Disaster. One was the Sage King and the other was the founder of the Heavenly Palace, the Celestial Emperor. ."

Yi Ping was surprised because he had heard of the Sage King before when he asked, "Sage King, is he the one who made the ‘Golden Pill Great Rejuvenation?"

Lele nodded, "You know the pills? We've been looking for him a long time too …"

Yi Ping smiled bitterly as he said, "Youxue, he gave it to me when I was once severely injured."

Lele was stunned as she muttered, "Maybe it's destiny .. we've been looking for her for centuries …"

Yi Ping was startled, "What do you mean you've been looking for him for centuries? How old are you, Lele?"

Lele looked at Yi Ping and looked at Ding Yun with a sigh, "Take a guess …"

Yi Ping said, "Twenty?"

Lele said something but Yi Ping could not hear it.

Yi Ping asked again, "Lele, your voice is too soft. I can't hear."

Lele looked at Yi Ping dejectedly before he let out a soft sigh, "I.e., I am four centuries old."

Ding Yun and Yi Ping were both stunned.

Ding Yun asked, "How is it possible? No one can live that long without growing old or dying."

Yi Ping looked at Lele …

Lele averted his gaze as he said softly, "So now you know. You must hate me now because of my age …"

Yi Ping held his hand as he said, "No, Lele, I don't. I'm just surprised that you didn't see at all past twenty-five."

Lele said, "It's because I have survived the Divine Disaster at that age and can't age anymore."

Yi Ping asked, "But you just said there are only two people who survived the Divine Disaster. You are the Celestial Emperor?!"

Lele shook his head as he said, "That's because we have deceived death using an unorthodox means. Therefore, we may have survived the Divine Catastrophe but we did not really reach a new state of divinity and in fact, could not progress any further. My hair turned silver and my eyes reddened overnight.”.

Suddenly, he cried as he began to tremble. "Once every hundred years, the Divine Disaster revisits us and our numbers begin to dwindle even further. Many of the original survivors are dead now …"

Ding Yun asked, "Why do you need ‘Golden Pill Great Rejuvenation’?"

Lele nodded slowly, "The Jade Emperor has exhausted his strength against the Divine Disaster for us. Without him, we would perish. That is why we are looking for ‘Pil Gold Rejuvenation Awesome’."

Yi Ping asked, "Since you have all the time in the world, can't you train to fight against the Divine Disaster? Couldn't the Celestial Emperor show a way to survive?"

Lele smiled bitterly, "Is that what you're thinking? We should have gotten the revelation of the Heavenly Skill by overcoming the Divine Disaster. Since we have cheated, we are cursed forever and our cultivation level remains as it was before before the Gods. Catastrophe. Without advancing to the Jade Emperor's cultivation level, we have no hope whatsoever of surviving him."

Yi Ping was puzzled as he asked, "What do you mean? If his cultivation level was basic, it would be very easy to understand him given the time you had?"

Lele looked frightened as he said nervously, "That is the secret of Divine Disaster! We should reach a new understanding in our divine state first before we can move forward. Anyone who forcefully tried to reach a new state of divinity after the Divine Calamity would trigger the deadly Celestial Wrath. No one can survive that."

Yi Ping was startled, "There's a Celestial Wrath?!"

Lele nodded, "That's our last chance now. If we can survive Celestial Wrath, we can break free from the curse of the Divine Catastrophe."

Yi Ping asked, "What curse?"

Lele said, "Every time a Divine Disaster occurs or if we expend our internal energy, we cannot recover it unless we drink the blood of the top exponents and eat their hearts …"

Yi Ping was stunned as he asked, "Lele, did you really do that?"

Lele said slowly, "I don't want to lie to you. I've done it many times."

Yi Ping clenched his fists as he started walking away.

Lele's eyes were now watery as she thought, "I've lost her forever now. No one will forgive me what I have done …"

Even Ding Yun gripped, stunned at Lele's revelation as he thought, "He .. is really a blood drinker …"

It was because he suddenly recalled the frightening story of the Red Eye Clan and he thought it was a story meant to scare children.

Yi Ping had walked three steps before he turned around, "According to my father, my great-grandfather was killed by a blood drinker. Are you one of them?"

Lele asked, "Where was your great-grandfather back then?"

Yi Ping said, "I don't know the exact location but in the Central Brotherhood."

Lele said, "Then, it's not me. I've never stepped out of the Western Brotherhood."

Yi Ping sighed in relief. He looks stoned. If Lele had the blood of his clan on his hands, would he still have the heart to kill him? Just like if Youxue had Yixian blood on her hands, would she still have the heart to kill him? He did not dare to think of the implications!

Lele said, "Actually you don't have to worry too much. The people we've killed are all almost at the end of their lives …"

Yi Ping interjected, "Life is alive!"

Lele smiled alluringly, ignoring his words. "Also, most of the time we need to sleep because blood alone cannot replenish our strength. Sometimes I need to sleep for decades. In fact, I just woke up after a span of forty years."

Yi Ping was startled, "You need to sleep all this time?!"

Lele smiled bitterly, "That's why it's our curse. If we do not sleep for a long time, our strength will falter and be drained. But even so, when we wake up, we still need at least a few years.time to fully regain our martial skills. It's a vicious cycle with no end."

Yi Ping asked gently, "Is there any way to cure your condition?"

Lele said, "Only a magic pill like the Great Rejuvenate Golden Pill or something magical can alleviate this disorder. That's why we've been looking for him all this time."

Yi Ping said wryly, "It seems that you did not try hard to look for him, from someone who never left the western fraternity."

Lele chuckled, "We're not that stupid to look for a needle in the ocean. Looking for something almost mythical is impractical. But if it really existed in the fraternity, there would definitely be people fighting over it. . When that happens, we'll naturally know."

Yi Ping asked, "How do you know?"

Lele said, "We have secret envoys scattered throughout the fraternity. That's important especially since we mostly sleep."

Ding Yun asked, "How do you ensure their loyalty?"

Lele smiled mysteriously, "I am the Goddess of Joy. Naturally, I will promise them a pleasant life and a chance to enter the Heavenly Palace if they serve us well."

Yi Ping growled, "Lele, that fooled the masses. Now I remember. There is a Sect of Joy in the Fraternity. Don't tell me you're their leader?"

Lele blinked at him, "It's not hard to know. So there, you guessed it. I am the Goddess they worship."

Yi Ping sneered softly, "It's more like a pitiful Goddess who spends a lot of time sleeping like a pig."

Lele said sadly, "Yi Ping, are you too tired to live? In the past, if anyone insulted me like that, they would die in the next moment."

Yi Ping smiled, "So the Goddess of Joy will really get angry?"

Lele smiled, "You think I'm really upset? I will not fall into your deception. You just want to argue with me. You're bullies!"

Yi Ping and Ding Yun laughed.

Suddenly, Yi Ping said excitedly, "Since the Sage King also survived the Divine Disaster, why don't you look for him to make another ‘Golden Pill of Great Rejuvenation’?"

Lele smiled bitterly, "That's because she had died centuries ago."

Yi Ping was surprised, "I can imagine he is also a formidable exponent. Who really has a way to kill him?"

Lele said, "From what I know, he barely survived his first Divine Disaster and knew that he would not survive his second Divine Disaster. Hence, he spent all his efforts on making eight amazing gold rejuvenation pills and hid them in a secret location. ."

Lele added coldly after the pause, "That was his crime as well as his stratagem. Since he knew that he was going to die, he wanted the majority of the top exponents to die with him and deliberately spread the word about his creation. Whoever wants to get it must find his underground palace to find it first."

Ding Yun asked, "What if the Sage King lied about the Great Rejuvenation Golden Pill?"

Lele shook his head, "The Sage King won't lie or he won't reach his level of divinity. He has another purpose of course. At that time he also realized us and that our clan needed the hearts of the gods. By causing a split and causing them to die prematurely, he has actually caused many of us to succumb to the Divine Disaster."

Lele looked at the sky sadly and she seemed to be thinking of something.

Yi Ping knew what he had experienced. The loss of her relatives and friends is a loss that is hard to bear.

Ding Yun said, "It looks like Virtuous Palace has finally found him. Xiao Shuai found it but it was stolen by Xiao Youxue and one of the pills was given to Yi Ping."

Yi Ping interrupted as a thought popped into his mind, "Why didn't the Sage King give it to his descendants?"

Lele smiled, "He is an old priest and has no relatives. Looks like we are the only survivors of the Divine Disaster right now."

Ding Yun said softly, "There is one survivor from the Red Eye Clan, a good sister."

Lele was surprised, "There's someone else? You think you just said no?"

Ding Yun said, "He should have died too …"

Yi Ping nodded as he said, "His name is Lie Qing. When I found him, he was as good as dead. But I have tried to revive him with the Divine Dragon Pill and I have managed to save his life."

Lele looked at Yi Ping with great disbelief as he retreated a few steps unsteadily. After a while, he said in a trembling voice, "You really have the Divine Dragon Pill? Do you know how many times more valuable the pill was than the Great Rejuvenation Gold Pill and you gave it away just like that?"

Yi Ping scratched his head in puzzlement, "I know it is one of the seven treasures of the Martial Brotherhood …"

Lele interrupted sadly, "You don't know anything! That Divine Dragon Pill .. unfortunately .. that Lie Qing was really very lucky. I. .. I can't believe that you actually gave it. You should at least keep it to yourself."

He wanted to say, "I want to drink his blood and eat his heart." But in the middle of the road, he decided to keep quiet.

Lele asked Yi Ping dejectedly, "Who is this Lie Qing to you so that you can give her this precious something?"

He was worried about this Lie Qing. This was the second time he had heard his name. The first time his name was mentioned was when Ding Yun mentioned that he had been trying to save the life of a girl with his Unbeatable Divine Power.

Somehow, Lie Qing's name sounded too familiar to her, but she couldn't remember who she was. As for the Unbeatable Divine Power, he only knew it very well …

He secretly thought, "No matter who you are, it will be interesting to fight with you. Heavenly Power and Unbeatable Divine Power were the two most epitome martial power in the entire fraternity. If you truly survived the Divine Disaster, then all I have to do is defeat you and exchange your complicated energy for my Heavenly Power, then my state of divinity can be improved … "

Yi Ping smiled bitterly, "I swear I have nothing to do with him …"

Lele said sadly, "Do you think I'll believe you …"

Ding Yun suddenly said, "I know why the Virtue Palace is attacking the Sacred Hex Sect right now."

Yi Ping was startled, "Why?"

Ding Yun said, "That's because Xiao Shuai once gave Ji Wuzheng one Great Rejuvenation Gold Pill to save his sister's life."

Yi Ping immediately turned pale as he said, "Then Lingfeng is in great danger. Xiao Shuai would actually eat him alive like he wanted to eat Youxue alive …"

He hurriedly said, "We should find a way out soon! Let's go now." And Yi Ping had already rushed off!

Lele was left clasping her hands to her heart as she muttered melancholy, "Lingfeng …"
