Chapter 38: The Three Known Realms
The atmosphere had suddenly become very tense
Yi Ping’s group was all looking at the forbidding heavenly maiden in stunned silence It was because they had never expected her to admit so readily that she was after the Celestial Alice and had lured Yi Ping to the epicenter of the Astronomic Stellar Formation!
After a close fight with a ra ten thousand steps up thepassageways of the white monument palace for two hours and another thousand steep steps; the entire group was both physically exhausted andheavenly orate as ever!
Whatever advantages they had previously was gone now!
Yi Ping could only s to stand straight…
The Universal Old Man and all the maidens immediately readied a defensive stance as they confronted the forbidding heavenly maiden apprehensively
The forbidding heavenly maiden said icily, “Just because I have hinted that I have the slumber sickness, you suppose that I am a Dark Celestial?”
Lingfeng said coldly, “So, are you? At this point of tiht in telling us who you really are, for being stupid enough to fall into your well planned ruse”
That was a taunt and was an effective taunt againston their pride while being contemptuous on own self!
Everyone hopes were noith just a few players; Yu’Er, Mei’Er, the Stellar Heaven Fairy, Lele, Lie Qing and the Universal Old Man!
A were the strongest exponents
Lie Qing s for a fight for so blue wisps exploded into sight and at the same time, she had raised her Perpetual Darkness, “You may find us a little bit hard to s and so please don’t choke!”
The forbidding heavenly maiden raised her thin eyebrows as she hummed coldly, “The Invincible Divine Force I have heard that there are fiveto this skill; the Virtuous Level, the Pious Level, the Righteous Level, the Holiness Level and the Divine Level The Holiness Level and the Divine Level are almost mythical levels and you have actually reached the Holiness Level No wonder you aren’t afraid Moreover, judging by the ease that you can execute the Invincible Divine Force so effortless, your Holiness Level should be in the middle tier I supposed that you can display between tenth and eleventh of these hovering blue spheres So, am I supposed to be afraid or praise you?”
Yi Ping was startled and so were the rest That was because they had never seen Lie Qing displayingwisps before!
Lie Qing winked at Yi Ping while stroking her hair; she was hinting him that he may not necessary be herhad been persistent in challenging her seventh intricate level of the Invincible Divine Force And he had thought that he could now overcohth and even ninth level of her Invincible Divine Force when he had fully recovered!
At the saood sister…surely not?”
The forbidding heavenly maiden walked past everyone quietly to the enormous monument black stele that was in the middle of the platform as she muttered softly, “Come”
No one stopped her and as though they were drawn by her commands, they walked slowly towards her direction It was because they knew that they were now at her mercies This was her territory What else could they do except to wait until she had laid out her diabolic plans to them?
The Universal Old Man was staring at the black stele and not soheavenly maiden now that he could see the inscriptions of the black stele in close proximity
The inscriptions of the black stele were tidy, starting fro was the Celestial Alp, the only known celestial alphabet There were few celestial practitioners that were able to decipher it It was rarely seen in the Celestial Realm except in the Stellar Sanctuary
Even the Universal Old Man could not read all the runic characters He had often depended on the Heaveness to decipher the celestial inscriptions that they had found together So he stole a glance at her now but to his disappoint heavenly maiden and her entire focus was on her!
But his attention soon turned iotten why he was looking for the Heaveness in the first place!
Youxue, Lele, Yunzi, Yu’Er, Mei’Er, the Stellar Heaven Fairy and the Ascension Goddess were all s bitterly at the inscriptions of the black stele; they could not decipher any of the characters but they were still staringthat they may find some clues to decipher it!
The Ascension Goddess was cursing silently, “This is the ultimate secret of the Astronomic Stellar Formation and yet I am unable to read any of the inscriptions except for a feords…this word and that word; what is the link?”
Of the refeng were uninterested in the black stele It was because they knew that a strong opponent awaited theood would it be if they were killed?
Yi Ping was completely uninterested in the Immortal Practice He was only concerned with the safety of everyone and even though he could no longer fight, his righteous air was extres!
The forbidding heavenlye of the enorently as she said, “Good! Just the five of you are re now”
Yi Ping was baffled as he asked, “There are thirteen of us here Why do you say there are five of us here?”
All of a sudden, Yixian gasped “Ping’Er, the others…”
Lingfeng, Shen Xingyue and Lie Qing were also gasping at the same time It was because they had suddenly noticed that the rest of the group was all staring ly at the black stele without any expressions!
Yi Ping had noticed it too He quickly shook Lele as he called her name, “Lele! You can hear me?” But Lele was totally oblivious to him!
He called out to the rest, “Protégé master! Yu’Er! Mei’Er! Yunzi! Youxue! shi+ shi+! Ye Yin! Can any one of you hear me?!”
The forbidding heavenly ently from top to bottom of the enormous black stele, “You don’t have to worry for the the heart intricacies of the Immortal Practice Whether they can truly decipher the true s of the Immortal Practice depends on their destiny”
Lingfeng asked, “The inscriptions on the black stele are really the Immortal Practice?”
The forbiddingly heavenly maiden smiled wryly, “Not really”
Yi Ping, Shen Xingyue, Yixian, Lingfeng and Lie Qing were startled!
The forbidding heavenly maiden explained, “The inscriptions on the black stele are actually the history of the three known realms However, within this stele are also all the alphabets of the celestial script in an intricate arrangement Each of the character is only used once And on this black stele, there are several celestial formations that are on it That is why they are htenain soe that may further their own celestial practice”
Yi Ping could only smile bitterly He was only interested to know if everyone was going to be safe For the very first tie as one of the es ever so that he could understand as going on
So he asked a stupid question to the forbidding heavenly uy? Why did you bring us here? I really don’t believe that the Immortal Practice will be so readily available and so accessible without any hard work”
Lingfeng, Lie Qing, Shen Xingyue and Yixian were all looking at each other with a stunned expression! It was because even though Yi Ping’s questions were crude and even dumb, it was also the most direct! Without hard work and practice, there were si had just reminded them of that!
To Yi Ping’s astonish heavenly ht Without hard work and self-awakening, it is impossible to start even on the Ihtenment is really impressive In fact, I have never known anyone that is like you before”
She had actually praised Yi Ping with a smile!
I was flustered as he noticed her s aard
Shen Xingyueti to say”
Yi Ping began to stammer, “Can you…tell us who you really are? And also free all of us?”
To his startled astonish heavenly maiden nodded at him “I will, if you say so”
Yi Ping gasped, “Really?”
The forbidding heavenly maiden nodded as she said, “But first, letthat you should be interested to know or else it will be a wasted trip, aht?”
Lingfeng folded her arly, “Well, if you insist”
Yixian nodded gently while Shen Xingyue said, “I am all ears”
Lie Qing dispelled her Invincible Divine Force as an indication that she was also willing to listen
The forbidding heavenly hed softly, “There are three realms of existence; the Mortal Realm, the Celestial Realm and the Immortal Realm This, as you are all aware is the Celestial Realm It is so vast that it is almost like an endless sea of mountains However it is not an infinite realm There are in fact, a total of nine such realms that are interconnected around it When a celestial practitioner transrates from the Mortal Realm, they always appear somewhere in the center of the Celestial Realm”
Lingfeng asked, “Is that why the Celestial Realm is also called the Ninth Heavens?”
The forbidding heavenly ht The first heaven is the realreat wilderness where few celestial practitioners dare to venture, if they can survive the trip of course”
Lingfeng was silent Even though she was an Ancient Celestial and had spent a long time in the Celestial Reale of the first heaven of the Celestial Realm Therefore, she had never really known about the existence of the Second Heaven Most of the celestial practitioners that had chosen to remain at the furthest end of the Celestial Realm were the Autonomous Celestials; they had chosen to be out of the way of the major celestial clans to continue their own cultivation or for their own self-preservation
In the past, the first heaven of the Celestial Realerous place than it was noith many powerful beasts But the Ancient Celestials had battled fiercely against them and with the arrival of ained a foothold in the safe areas of the Celestial Realm As for the perimeters of the Celestial Realm, few celestials were bothered with it for they knew that death only awaited the foolish…
The forbidding heavenly maiden pointed at the enormous black stele as she said, “This black stele describes exactly the origins of the three known realm”
The forbidding heavenly hed softly, “Mortals are ordained to die unless they are able to attain enlightenround for the celestial practitioners and dark celestial practitioners before they can finally ascend to the upper realm which we call the Immortal Realm”
Yi Ping asked curiously, “Even the dark celestial practitioners have a chance to enter the Immortal Realm?”
The forbidding heavenly maiden replied casually, “The virtue of Heaven is for all life to thrive All the celestial practitioners must cultivate their virtuous self in order to be oneness with the Heaven and therefore they can be eternal The dark celestial practitioners may be evil in ive theood, what is evil? Just like righteous celestial practitioners may turn to evil anytime, dark celestial practitioners may truly seek penitence”
Yi Ping ie Lele was a dark celestial practitioner by circumstances rather than choice and there were h to return to the enlightened path The Celestial Liege realized the follies of his ways and to this day, continued to seek repentances and a way to attain true enlightenment
At the sayue was reminded of the Divine Descendant that had forcedthemselves
The forbidding heavenly maiden continued nonchalantly, “To cultivate the self is just a doorway to know the Heaven Only by respecting Heaven and by ehteousness to all, can a hest pinnacle of divinity It doesn’t matter if they are mortals or celestial practitioners”
She waved her hand and there was a fierce righteous fire in her eyes!
Yi Ping and everyone were startled at her transformation!
The forbidding heavenly maiden continued melancholy, “Mortals should follow the way of the Heaven and learn the virtue of the Heaven Heaven is always truthful, never deceitful, always fair and righteous The expansive virtuous spirit of Heaven sundered throughout the three realms Mortals should humble themselves with true sincerity to commune with the Heaven”
All of a sudden, she see, “The huifted with the virtues of Heaven while the sincere ones will be gifted with the virtues of enlightenment To be humble and know the virtues of Heaven, ht and wrong and be filled with the expansive air of righteousness; only then can they be one with the virtues of Heaven and be oneness with the heavens and the earth”
She paused for a while before saying casually, “When that happens, they too will be serene, peaceful and be eternal just as the Heaven is always eternal”
The forbidding heavenlyand whispered softly, “You are supposed to be eternal and have unwittingly become an eternal already If you have decided to stay in the lower realm, you will be untouched by the divine tribulations Why have you decided to coain?”
Lingfeng gasped, “You know?”
The forbidding heavenly maiden said coolly, “Each has their own destiny No one is able to help the others to reach enlightenment What a pity”
Yi Ping was alar on? What does she means?”
Lingfeng’s eyes wereimportant”
