Martialism
Chapter 73's
Just by mentioning the Heavenly Relic, Old Matriarch Wen and Old Yang instantly knew that she had no good intentions. That's why they attacked him immediately!
Over the years, they had collaborated many times against many much stronger opponents. The deadly combination of the Old Dragon Claw and the Eternal Explosive Hand belonging to Old Matriarch Wen was powerful enough to cripple any opponent. And today, they were using these two secret techniques simultaneously!
The girl in red flicked her velvet robe, raising her slender fingers as she moved silently between her two opponents. There was a dazzling red glint as Old Matriarch Wen and Old Yang shouted loudly at the same time; there was blood in their eyes and they were rolling on the ground in pain!
The Old One trembled in disbelief, “What kind of magic is this?! What skill is this?”
He did not believe that anyone could attack so quickly that even with years of fighting experience he could not see how he executed his punch!
The alluring girl in red answered gently and unhurriedly, “This is my Divine Finger of the Light of the Star. This is just a small punishment for trying to hurt my sister and lover.”
He smiled and glanced at Yi Ping, who was standing in a daze.
Lingfeng had cleared most of the venomous poison from her body and she sat in a mediating pose with her eyes closed. His battle with poison was not over yet and there were beads of cold sweat on his forehead!
Xiao Youxue also looked puzzled and his cold demeanor had disappeared. She looked timid and shouted, “Sister Xingyue, you are finally here! Good thing you're here or we'll meet with an accident!”
The girl in red whose real name was Shen Xingyue said, “I've warned you all not to take action on your own. You have no idea how many strong opponents there are in the martial fraternity. What if you have met the Dark Heavenly? ?”
Xiao Youxue pointed at Venomous Evil's corpse and said, “We've met one. He just so and so. Yi Ping had already dealt with him.”
Shen Xingyue looked at Yi Ping and Lingfeng calmly before sighing to Youxue, “You called their situation something you control? What about the wound on your arm?”
Youxue protested, “Injury is a common occurrence in a fight or next time when we meet with a better exponent, we will not lose in total. Every fight won is an experience gained!”
Shen Xingyue kept sighing softly to herself but it was clearly heard by everyone, “But when you lose just once, all your experiences will be in vain.”
But before Youxue could protest any further, Old Matriarch Wen had already cursed out loud. “You are so despicable, using underhanded means to blind us! You are truly a disgrace to the martial honor of the martial fraternity! I will definitely humiliate your name in the entire fraternity!”
Shen Xingyue said softly, “As far as you are. I don't care ..”
But before he could finish, Old Matriarch Wen and Old Yang had stood up again to attack him once more. This time all of their punches were even more deadly than their previous punches because they ignored their defenses; even if they died, they had to take them down as well!
Shen Xingyue brandished her Blue Heavens Divine Sword and there was a brilliant bluish-white flash as piercing sword energies that were beaming rippled. Immediately, Old Matriarch Wen and Old Yang fell to the ground, never to wake up again!
Shen Xingyue said softly, “This is just your dessert.”
Yi Ping walked up to him and trembled, “Xingyue, why are you here? Do you know if Lele is okay?”
He pointed at Sikong Zhai's corpse and his eyes were watery, “This old man here, he claims to have killed a girl from the Heavenly Palace. Besides Lele, who else is he?”
Yunzi was serious when she said, “It shouldn't be Lele. There are many others like Lele in the Heavenly Palace.”
Yi Ping muttered, “But there are some girls like Lele who can come and go in the Heavenly Palace.”.
Shen Xingyue interrupted gently, “I doubt it was Lele. That's because I just saw it a few days ago.”
Yi Ping was surprised, “Where is he and where are the others?”
Shen Xingyue said, “That's why I searched for you so frantically. They had decided to go to the Heavenly Palace to obtain the Heavenly Relic. I can't stop them.”
Yi Ping was stunned, “They are going to the Celestial Palace?! Why don't you stop them? Lele is a traitor of the Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Palace will not be good to the traitor ..”
Shen Xingyue sighed softly, “Do you think I didn't try? You expect me to conquer them using force or diplomacy? I have tried both ways and did not succeed.”
Yi Ping was silent.
He's correct. If Lele the Goddess of Excitement wanted to do something, no one could stop him from doing it. In addition, there was still Lie Qing the Heavenly Teaser, Shui Yixian the Heavenly Fairy, Shui Yujian the Ecliptic Heaven Goddess and Shui Meijian the Axis Heaven Goddess.
Yi Ping muttered with a throbbing headache, “Why did Lie Qing and Yixian not stop him?”
Shen Xingyue said, “They don't know how long it will take to find the Heavenly Relic. Nor do they know how long it will take you to find Lingfeng. The only place they knew where Heavenly Relic could be found was. in the Heavenly Palace. They want to save you from some trouble and they have very good intentions.”
Yi Ping smiled bitterly, “Now I have a lot of problems. Quick, we have to be fast!”
He was reluctant to go to the Heavenly Palace and he had repeatedly warned Lele not to go back there. It was because a year ago, he had fought Celestial Liege who was the Prime Celestial of Celestial Palace and it was a fight that still frightened him to this day!
Now, Lingfeng had opened her eyes and she walked weakly beside YI Ping, saying gently to him. “Come quickly then.”
When Yi Ping saw his weakened condition, his heart ached and he said. “Lingfeng, are you okay? Why don't you find a place to recuperate first? I will definitely be in touch soon ..”
Lingfeng shook her head gently, “I'm just as worried about the others as you are. My physical condition is nothing to worry about. Did you forget that I was protected by my Divine Invigorate Skill?”
She stopped before looking at him sadly, “We have been through a lot together ... are you thinking of leaving me alone and going to fight the Heavenly Palace alone?”
Yi Ping sighed heavily, “You also did not tell me when you went to look for the Heavenly Relic.”
Lingfeng hummed coldly, “This is just trivial. Why did you put it in your heart? I know you're a petty person! I know that you do not feel comfortable in taking the Heavenly Relic from the others. That's why I have it. ask Yunzi and Youxue to come along. Do you know why Lele and the others also took the initiative to go to the Heavenly Palace by themselves? That's because they know that you're reluctant to risk anyone of us. But did you know? that anyone among us would gladly give up our lives for you and the other sisters?”
Yi Ping was startled and he suddenly fell silent.
Six months ago, Yunzi and Youxue had managed to overcome the Divine Disaster with the guidance of Lingfeng the Heavenly, Yixian the Heavenly Fairy and Lie Qing the Heavenly Teaser.
It was not easy for them and they almost lost their lives.
Yi Ping had taken the Divine Disaster at the same time as them, taking a blunt for them. This time, he was truly a Heavenly and did not fight against Divine Power unlike last time.
Lingfeng was the only one left who did not attempt the Divine Disaster. He didn't have to because he had awakened as a Celestial all by himself.
He was Heavenly and his real name represented the Heaven of this realm. In this realm, the Divine Disaster would not be able to affect him and he had all the immortality to contemplate the mysteries of the universe.
His race was an Ancient Celestial who aspired to become a Celestial Sage because they knew of other realms that existed above this realm. That place was called the Heavenly Realm.
Finally, the Ancient Celestials found a way to traverse the Celestial Realm. In order to traverse to the Heavenly Realm, they had to ascend. In order to ascend, they had to experience the tribulation of the Divine Wrath and many of the Ancient Celestials perished during the tribulation.
Before the Ancient Celestials left, they left behind complicated formulas in their hearts and other divine skills so that one day, humans would acquire the knowledge to achieve as Celestials and ascend to the Celestial Realm.
A long time had passed in the Heavenly Realm and the Ancient Heavenly Realm had finally merged with the other Celestials from the lower realms. But not long after they discovered that the Heavenly Realm was not the Heavenly Realm they were looking for but a transit realm to another realm, the God Realm!
The Celestials were completely confused as to how to reach the God Realm. The only clues to reach the God Realm were in the Stellar Sanctuary and the Stellar Astronomical Formation. Already many Celestials had been killed in an attempt to raid these two places.
The Celestials had no choice for them to take risks as many of them had already reached the limit of their divinity. Without a breakthrough and without a new formula of divine complexity, sooner or later they will be killed by the increasingly powerful Divine Wrath after every tribulation.
Finally, there were only a few Ancient Celestials left and even their Divine Wrath tribulation had turned into a Heavenly Wrath, which was even more terrifying than Divine Wrath!
Knowing that the next time the Heavenly Wrath will strike will also be the last, the Heavenly One, the Heavenly One, Universal Parents and the Great Sage Lord take calculated risks to descend into the lower realms in an attempt to find new clues that will help unravel the mysteries of the Stellar Sanctuary. It was because during the expedition to Stellar Sanctuary, they had found a clue that the Dark Lord of the Chaos Cosmos, the only one who managed to ascend to the God Realm had traveled to the lower realms to search.
Traveling to the lower realms was not easy and not without great risks as no one had tried it before except the Dark Lord of the Chaos Cosmos. He had left the means to do so in the Stellar Sanctuary through the Cosmos Stellar Formation.
The Cosmos Star Formation was complicated even for the three Ancient Celestials and their hearts were sunk. But having no other choice and feeling that it was meaningless to meditate for the next millennium, they decided to try the Cosmos Star Formation.
During that effort, the Great Lord Sage lost his life as he sacrificed himself to bring the Heavenly and Universal Old Man into the lower realms.
His death was a huge blow to them, especially the Celestials. It was because they had known each other for as long as they could remember and had gone through many tribulations. She also admired him for a long time …
It was at that moment that they decided to choose a young, future White Sage to be their protege. The Celestial had chosen him because this youngster was in many ways similar to the Great Lord Sage when he was young and they had the same beaming eyes.
Time passed but still they did not know what the Dark Lord of the Chaos Cosmos was looking for in the lower realms.
Faced with the prospect of the Heavenly Wrath descending into the lower realms and destroying destruction in the innocents, the desperate Universal Old Man decided to return to the upper realms to seek new clues.
The Heaveness had grown fond of the lower realms. He was eager to experience emotions that he had never experienced. He wanted to be human and die where he came from. To him, it was his true home and not the God Realm.
Not wanting to invite destruction upon the innocent, Heavenly has chosen the path of self-sacrifice as a human being. For that, he was willing to give up on being a Celestial!
He never expected that he would have a destiny intertwined with the youngster he thought of as a protege who was a future White Sage who had awakened his memories.
Not only had he awakened as a Celestial, he had also discovered that the Dark Lord of the Chaos Cosmos had actually gone to the lower realms in search of a Universal Power that did not exist in the Heavenly Realm.
The Heavenly Earth Sword was the only heavenly sword that could unleash the Power of the Universe and was now with the Celestial Fairy!
However, his awakening also brought unintended consequences; his cycle of misery would begin again and he was faced with the prospect of Heavenly Abomination occurring!
Therefore, he had to leave the lower realms to the upper realms where he could face the Heavenly Wrath.
So he said to Yi Ping, “I have to go now. I don't belong to this world and you should know this. If I do not leave, many lives will be lost as a result of the Heavenly Wrath approaching.”
Yi Ping was stunned.
He quickly said, “Lingfeng ... We have been together for so long and you left me alone? Can I come with you?”
Lingfeng smiled, “You still have another. Of course you may have forgotten me after some time. My presence here will only harm the lower realms. It is best that I return to the upper realms of where I am. If you want to see me again, it is best that you put all your efforts toward the Divine Achievement. But with so many distractions, it may be difficult for you.”
Right now, he was suppressing his divine status with the Divine Invigorate Force and only limiting his divine power to the crimson level. After the crimson level is the gray level and then the gold level. After that the green-gold level and last the red-blue level. Celestials of the green-gold level were able to return their eyes to human eyes.
As one of the most powerful Celestials in the Celestial Realm, Heaveness was naturally at the blue-red level.
Yi Ping sighed and everyone could clearly see how sad he was.
He turned to ask Yixian the Heavenly Fairy, “I wonder if I can borrow your Heavenly Earth Sword?”
Yixian smiled gently as she glanced at everyone slowly before saying gently, “I refuse.”
Lingfeng smiled as well. It was because he had not expected Yixian to comply with his request. So he replied gently, “I understand ..”
But Yixian interjected with a gentle smile, “But with one condition.”
Lingfeng was surprised, “On what terms would you lend me?”
Yixian replied, “You must take us to the upper realms with you.”
Lingfeng surprised, “That's impossible ..”
Yixian sighed softly, “Normal increases are unlikely to bring the Heavenly Earth Sword with you. When my heavenly protege mistress, the Star Heaven Fairy had ascended, she could not bring the Heavenly Earth Sword to the Heaven Realm because of its weight. If I'm I'm not wrong, you know another way but you don't tell us.”
Lingfeng was silent for a moment. In the end, he could not fool the Heavenly Elf.
Even Lele, Lie Qing, Yujian and Meijian were dumbfounded. “There are other ways to the Heavenly Realm?”
Yunzi and Youxue looked curiously at Yixian…
Shen Xingyue trembled. No one other than him knew how difficult it was to reach his current state of divinity. He had gone through many close encounters and although he had not shown them, he was even afraid to go up.
Not because he was afraid of death. She was afraid of losing Yi Ping and had to endure loneliness forever. Among the eight girls, he had the highest level of divinity and he was probably the first to begin ascension. But of course, it was easier said than done and it might take a long time for him.
Shen Xingyue asked, “Lingfeng, you know how to bring all of us to the Heavenly Realm?”
Lingfeng froze and after a while, she nodded before saying solemnly. “Ya I know. But it's very dangerous. I came here through the Stellar Cosmos Formation and I can use the same formation to ascend back to the upper realms. However, I have never tried to use the Stellar Cosmos Formation more than twice and on a scale like this.”
Yi Ping eyes beamed and he said, “Quick, we can try!”
Suddenly, the baby in Lele's soothing embrace was crying as if he could feel that his parents were about to leave him.
Lele began to comfort her baby, “Pity of the child. Quiescent. You can understand yes?”
Yi Ping was overwhelmed with guilt all of a sudden.
Yixian looked at Shen Xingyue as they nodded silently.
They were both the most talented heavenly practitioners of their generation. Out of the ten celestials, only one or two were finally able to ascend to the Celestial Realm. And both hold the most promise.
Shen Xingyue said to Lingfeng, “Can you show us the Cosmos Star Formation? With so many of us here, maybe not difficult for us?”
Lingfeng sighed, “What's the point of reaching the upper realms? This might be a place you might hate as time goes by.”
Lingfeng said it from the bottom of her heart. In the Heavenly Realm, all Celestials guarded their heavenly skills vigorously, not wanting their rivals to catch up with them. And the same goes for here as well.
But not Lingfeng.
He began to explain the complexity formula of the Cosmos Star Formation to everyone.
Everyone was astonished and confused to understand the Cosmos Star Formation.
Yi Ping broke out in a cold sweat while Youxue and Yunzi almost fainted. It was because with their current state of divinity, it was still out of their reach to understand it!
Even Shen Xingyue was speechless!
After a few hours, Yixian was the first to say it. “This Cosmos Star Formation has something in common with the Celestial Star Formation. See this section here and this section.”
Lele and Lie Qing immediately exclaimed loudly, “That's right!”
Lingfeng was surprised, “Even for me, I do not understand these two parts of the formation. Is it possible for you to share with us about the intricacies of the Heavenly Star Formation?”
Yixian nodded and she quickly drew the Heavenly Star Formation on the ground and explained it. Even though he was a late entrant to the Heavenly Star Formation compared to Lele, he had grasped its intricacies quickly.
Shen Xingyue was astonished at how the preparedness of the Heavenly and Heavenly Elves were willing to share with them the two most extraordinary heavenly formations. It was something that even the heavenly protege of the same clan would not know his secret.
In the end, they discovered that they could use the Heavenly Star Formation to move the Cosmos Star Formation at a much lower risk. Even if it failed, they could still stop the fall of the Cosmos Star Formation and escape from it if they were fast enough.
But there's another problem. To traverse from the Heavenly Star Formation to the Cosmos Star Formation, they would need nine sacred relics to act as catalysts for the transmigration for each of those relics. The Heaveness was an exception due to her high divinity status.
Yixian has an Earth Heavenly Sword, Shen Xinyue has a Blue Sky Divine Sword, Yu’Er has a Harp Whisper, Mei’Er has a Lyrical Whisperer, Lie Qing had Eternal Darkness and the White Phoenix Sword while Lele had Divine Echoes.
It was a total of seven holy relics they had!
In the end, they only needed to find two more holy relics. Divine and Heavenly Swords were almost impossible to find so in the end they shifted their search to the Heavenly Relics.
