Chapter 43:The Emptiness Translucence
The Joyful Goddess was busy preparing her wedding throughout the day She was virtually everywhere except near Yi Ping because it was considered inauspicious for the bride and the groo
She was jovial regardless if the rest were really sincerely in wishi+ng her the best of wishes
She had al Yun, Youxue and even the Celestial Fairy to the point of insanity with her incessant chats
“A to touch up? I wonder how Yi Ping will feel or think?”
She would ask the sah she was intimate with everyone
Everyone was all thinking if she really knew that they were all envy, upset, scolding or irritated by her?
Obviously the Joyful Goddess did not think the sah
But for the protégés of the Tranquil Clan and Traverse Clan, it was different She was a welco beautiful presence awed everyone
She had really sharp ears
When two protégés of the Tranquil Clan was discussing about the wedding preparation and how lucky Yi Ping was, she had appeared and asked “Really? Do you think ill be blissful together?”
Even Priest Bai Chongzhen, Priest Ling Kongquan, Priest Liu Qingcheng, Nangong Le, Gongsun Jing, Qiu Wufeng were not spared from her
She was really treating the Tranquil Clan as her home!
Yixian quietly asked herself and shared with Youxue, “Did we make a mistake?”
Youxue sighed, “I can’t even re and now…”
Technically, Yixian, Youxue and Lie Qing did not say no as they were too engross with the contents of the golden scroll to think clearly They actually hadthe differentwith her
So before they could even disagree or disapprove, the Joyful Goddess had subtly made all the decisions!
Even Lie Qing was cursing quietly, “And to think we are sisters in the past?! I can’t even stand her now…”
So away to the Joyful Goddess
Ding Yun had really no disagreements because she already knew that Lele had already decided that Yi Ping was to be her husband That included her…
Lingfeng was feeling extremely down She had wished she was the bride instead…
Yu’Er and Mei’Er were both teary Their husband-to-be was going to be married and they were not the brides…
Youxue was dejected It was because she was the first one a but somehow it seemed that she was always destined not to be with him…
Yixian simply could not believe that the Joyful Goddess would actually be ht under her very nose It was simply too unbelievable!
Finally, all theconclusion on their very own; they had all fallen into a well-planned but ridiculous scheme that had been elaborately created by the Joyful Goddess!
Lingfeng was the first to have realized that, the ht of that, the more convinced she was that they were all slowly pushed in the direction that the Joyful Goddess had wanted
She could not explain it because it was too surreal!
“She really knows divination?”
Lingfeng had already decided that she was going to disrupt the wedding at all costs It was because she siht It did notfalls into her hands, then Yi Ping would surely be lost to her forever
Lie Qing was the second to realize that as she explained suddenly, “She actually has the audacity to woven high level suggestions with the Bewitching Soul Seizing Skill She was astonished at her state of divinity and courage…
She sigh weakly, “She’s not stupid at all We are the real fools…even though she can’t defeat her with her martial skills; she has defeated us with her state of divinity and unsuspecting courage…”
Yi Ping was the most bewildered
He was getting married tomorrow and he did not even have a choice
He wanted to go up and approached Yixian, Youxue, Ding Yun and even Lingfeng but he was so afflicted with guilt that he found himself unable to do so
In the end, he did not get to say a single word to them
He really had so much to say to Yixian but she seemed to deliberately avoid him
“Yixian, you have changed or I have changed? You cannot reed while you have become more heavenly Are we destined to be apart? I don’t want to…”
His heart was clearly broken But he are that he could not fault Yixian It was because he was the one that had pro Yun as his wife…
And there was Youxue
He …Yun…”
Just as he had hung up the Divine Echo and the White Emerald Phoenix Sword on the wall in his room, there was a knock outside
Startled, he opened the door and was surprised to see Priest Liu Qingcheng standing nervously outside
Yi Ping quickly said, “Priest Liu! What is thelate”
Priest Liu Qingcheng quickly went into the door and closed the door even before Yi Ping could stop him
Yi Ping asked, “Priest Liu? Yes?”
Priest Liu Qingcheng sta…”
Yi Ping said, “You look troubled Is there anything I can help? Is it because Lele is causing toois too ridiculous, even I am not too happy with it…”
Priest Liu Qingcheng grabbed his hands and said, “Can you decipher this silver scroll?”
He took out a silver scroll and unraveled it in front of Yi Ping
Yi Ping was really puzzled, asking “What it is?”
He smiled bitterly in his heart because his level of literacy was really low He was quite ashamed of that and had been teased a couple of ti
The silver scroll ritten in a language that was totally out of the world Yi Ping could recognize that it seeolden scroll
Yi Ping said, “Priest Liu, if you want to find someone that can read this scroll why don’t you ask the Joyful Goddess? She may be able to help you I definitely can’t”
Priest Liu Qingcheng said, “Don’t! Do you kno valuable this silver scroll is?”
Yi Ping shook his head
Priest Liu Qingcheng said, “This is an intricacy formula that is even more profound than the Dual Inertia Intricacy Formula It is called the Emptiness Translucence”
Yi Ping was in a sudden daze as his fingers left the silver scroll, “The Emptiness Translucence…” Why was the name of this scroll resounded with such familiarity in his mind?
Priest Liu Qingcheng continued, “Even though we can read its contents but no one understands anything of it”
He sighed softly and began to sit down, “Do you knohen the Grand Hall of Longevity was constructed?”
Yi Ping was alar, Youxue and Yixian have destroyed the Grand Hall of Longevity earlier Is he asking es? I am too poor to pay…”
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, “I really do not know But it must be centuries”
Priest Liu Qingcheng nodded and added, “Nearly two thousands year old!”
Yi Ping al to take responsibility for the daes even if takes me a lifetime to do so”
Priest Liu Qingcheng said, “No need In fact, I aive you this scroll”
Yi Ping was stunned, “You are giving me your clan most precious intricacy formula to me?”
Even though Yi Ping was low in literacy and inexperienced with most rules of the uarded their martial secrets closely It was so forbidden that anyone suspected of leaking it or stealing it would be hunted down
Priest Liu Qingcheng nodded sole with you?”
Yi Ping asked, “But why?”
Priest Liu Qingcheng said, “It is associated with the founding of the Grand Hall of Longevity and the founding of the Tranquil Clan When the Grand Hall of Longevity was built, our past protégé leader got the Emptiness Translucence Intricacy Formula from an eminent person We have no records of his nae of Emptiness”
He paused for a while before adding, “The White Sage of Emptiness left a copy of his Emptiness Translucence with us He informed us that in the future, the Tranquil Clan will have an avoidable crisis and a stranger that is not froht will then break out in the Grand Hall of the Longevity and the stranger that coth in an act of heroism Then he is the one that we must pass the Emptiness Translucence to him”
All of a sudden, he looked a little regretful “Our past protégé leader and elders asked for a further sign so that the precious E hands The White Sage of Eer stepped into the Grand Hall of Longevity it will also be the day the Grand Hall of Longevity will be destroyed”
Yi Ping send Unfortunately, I can’t even read a single word in this silver scroll No one is able to predict the future”
Just when he was about to reject the silver scroll, Priest Liu Qingcheng recited “The Boundless Translucence, the Divine Ascendant of the Five Conducts, Spirit, Void…”
Yi Ping muttered, “The Five Conducts of the Divine Ascendants…the Spirit, the Void, the Enigma, the Absolute and the Great Ultimate The Emptiness of the Spirit, the Ema, the Emptiness of the Absolute and the Emptiness of the Great Ultimate…”
Priest Liu Qingcheng was stunned It was because Yi Ping had phrased it in a more concise manner than he had He quickly asked, “You have seen this before?”
Yi Ping was now looking at the silver scroll quietly There was a weird sparkle in his eyes as heit and when I see this silver scroll, I can visualize the contents…”
He was not bluffing of course In that single instant, he had fully understood the Emptiness Translucence!
Priest Liu Qingcheng asked excitedly, “You really understand the intricacy formula of the Emptiness Translucence? Is it a supreme martial skill or a supre time but none of us really understands it…”
Yi Ping said quietly, “The Emptiness Translucence is not just a martial intricacy formula It is also a divine state of translucent…”
He could not explain how he knew
Unknown to even Yi Ping himself, he was already at the E attained the Emptiness Translucence of the Void The E block for him
The purpose of this silver scroll was just to remind him to complete the Emptiness Translucence
Yi Ping said, “Priest Liu, thank you You can take back the silver scroll now”
Priest Liu Qingcheng was startled, “You do not need it?”
Yi Ping said quietly, “All this while, the Emptiness Translucence is in my heart I can’t explain it…”
Priest Liu Qingcheng was solad that he could keep the silver scroll so he said, “You don’t have to thanksfrom me”
Yi Ping said soleht hearted all of a sudden I have a heavy heart for a long tihtenment after you have revealed to me the Emptiness Translucence Priest Liu, can you do me a favor?”
Priest Liu Qingcheng asked, “What it is? If I can help, I will surely do it for you”
Yi Ping sighed softly, “Help ”
Priest Liu Qingcheng was startled and he sighed heavily, “I afraid I can’t The wedding plans have already been in preparation How a to account to the Joyful Goddess? This is really putting ht spot…alas…”
Yi Ping comforted him, “I will speak to the Joyful Goddess es…”
Priest Liu Qingcheng laughed, “Don’t you worry about it, young hero I just recruit a rich protégé by the na to donate and build a new and grander hall of Longevity”
Yi Ping nodded gratefully
Priest Liu Qingcheng asked, “I hope young hero that you do not hten me on the Emptiness Translucence?”
Yi Ping sighed, “The Emptiness Translucence seems to be an intricate heart formula I can’t really explain this but the silver scroll does not contain any intricate formula That is why no one is able to decipher its mysteries It seems to be a wordless scroll Somehow I feel intimate to it I really wish I can know more”
Priest Liu Qingcheng was startled, “This is the first time that you have heard of the Emptiness Translucent and yet you can recite it…and how does young hero guess that the Emptiness Translucence is an intricate heart formula?”
Yi Ping s you reciting it,renewal in th If it is not a heart intricacy formula, what else can it be?”
Priest Liu Qingcheng was staring blankly and exa hi mood was heavy when he first entered the roohteousness around him seemed to have intensified further!
There was a warning about the Seven Heavenly Fairies and that the destined one must avoid them at all costs towards the end of the silver scroll If the destined one was able to avoid thehten was about to mention it when there was a knock on the door
Yi Ping and Liu Qingcheng were startled that soht
Yi Ping quickly opened the door and was startled to see Mei’Er as carrying a flask in her hands
Mei’Er was equally startled when she saw her protégé é master?”
Liu Qingcheng s you that Never o now”
He quickly rolled up the silver scroll and left the room
Yi Ping asked, “Mei’Er, is so the matter?”
Mei’Er laughed softly, “Master…Nothing really I know that you can’t sleep tonight That is why I am here”
Yi Ping smiled, “Why do you say that, Mei’Er?”
Mei’Er sighed softly, “Maybe you are too excited to sleep because to day But I do know that the reason you can’t sleep is because…”
She purposely paused for a while before continuing, “You are troubled by é mistress is here yet you can’t talk to her You didn’t even bother trying to talk to us Do you kno sad Sister Yu and I are? We have always regarded you as our husband-to-be”
Yi Ping sighed, “I know…I let you all down It isthe wedding tomorrow”
Mei’Er sighedso, you can settle and forget everything?”
She began to whisper a sorrowful tune…
Yi Ping was greatly troubled by her sorrowful tune as he reluctantly interrupted, “I don’t think so at all in fact…”
Mei’Er said sadly, “That is why I a you this flask of wine If you can’t think of the right way to resolve it, why think about it? Why don’t you drown yourself in sorrows?”
Yi Ping was grateful to Mei’Er, “It is soht?”
Mei’Er smiled quietly, “The last time I drink with you…I…”
She was flushi+ng shyly now
Even Yi Ping was too embarrassed to look at her
Mei’Er was dressed in a translucent black silk and he could see through her porcelain white figure clearly When he looked at her sht that he had awakened from his drunkenness only to find Mei’Er and Yu’Er naked besides him…
All of a sudden Mei’Er kissed hi sensational into hi Emptiness Translucent to vanish from his heart
Before he really knehat he was doing, he was holding her and kissing her passionately in return
But Mei’Er quickly pushed hi else iot to go now Bye!”
She seeone in the next instant!
Mei’Er had shyly exited the roo, “He does like ot to run because this concerns our future”
But as soon as she stepped out of the rooained her co, he…he…did he just kiss iven up an excellent opportunity…I got so caught up with my mission…”
She began to laretfully but it was too late and she was too shy to return to the roo is the better future…”
Yi Ping was still charmed by her as he shook his head, “Mei’Er…”
He s but a lecher You htened her away so terribly How can I be thinking of Mei’Er when I should be thinking of Yixian, Youxue, Yun and Lingfeng…”
At the thought of Mei’Er, he was also thinking of Yu’Er and Lie Qing
At the thought of Lie Qing, he began to think of Lele…
These eight h many adventures and critical situations with him in such a short time, he had affections for all of them
The truth was that, he had only wanted to be with Yixian But when Yixian had ‘passed away’, he was deeply grieved and he was deterainst the yellow dressed maiden
“Yixian…”
But in a ot drunk and had violated the twin sister, Beautiful Sword Mei’Er and Jade Sword Yu’Er He knew that he did soivable and decided to flee the Eternal Ice Palace to look for his wife’s killer first before he surrendered himself to the twin sisters
“Yu’Er, Mei’Er…”
But along the way, he , the Holy Maiden of the Holy Hex Sect which was one of the three most powerful unorthodox sects in the martial fraternity…
“Lingfeng…”
Just as Yi Ping was about to drink froht!
It was because all of a sudden he had recall that on the very night that he was drunk and had slept with the twin sister, Mei’Er had told him the exact words “Remember…to drink the wine!”
He took a sniff at the flask and immediately he felt sleepy
Quickly he exercised the Absolute Spirits Heart Intricacy Immediately after he had expelled the aromatic fumes from his body, he was instantly refreshed
Yi Ping had turned ashen as he muttered, “This wine has been ta this?”
He was hurt and felt betrayed because he had trusted Mei’Er
He iht in the Eternal Ice Palace, “The wine that I had drink back then was also tampered with?”
Yi Ping quietly got up and exited the room…
He arrived in a nick of ti secretly to each other as they left their rooether
Yi Ping was startled as he asked hiht?”
