Chapter 62: Priestesses of the Goddess Theocracy
Shortly after Yi Ping and his group had ascended the stairs of heavens, they were all taken to their respective guest chambers for attentive care
The Holy Ascension Sect had always been extrerounds
In the grounds of the Holy Ascension Sect, there was a White Verdant Palace It was the round for the és and forbidden to men The White Verdant Palace was also one of the most beautiful places in the Celestial Realrandeur palaces
In a deserted garden courtyard of the inner sanctuary of the Holy Ascension Sect, Yi Ping was lying on top of a tree branch as he looked at the dark dome shape of the Stellar Sanctuary that was enveloped by circular purple lightning in the dark heavens as thunders broke out almost endlessly
The courtyard was quieter than usual
It was because athered ortheir way to the Golden Ascension Hall
The lots for the Stellar Sanctuary would commence in two hour time!
He was unconcerned even when an accidental lightning bolt had strike a nearby tree and set it into flames nor was he bothered by the winds and the incessant small rains
It was because his heart was heavy with s!
He o before the Stellar Sanctuary is opened, I hope that you can recuperate well first”
Unlike Yixian, the Goddess Isa, Lie Qing and Jing’Er, Yi Ping had fully recovered from his internal injuries and he orried that they would want to enter the perilous Stellar Sanctuary at which few celestial practitioners would return!
Even the Celestial Mistress was stunned at the speed of his recovery It was because nothing could hasten the recovery of internal injuries but Yi Ping was an exception!
She had accidentally let slip with a soft whisper, “Weird, why is that you have the blood of the Kirin in your veins? It is exactly the sa particularly effective on him? Because part of it consists of the Fire Kirin Divine Pill?”
Yi Ping pondered quietly, “Han Lin has also accidentally consumed the Fire Kirin Divine Pill or is poisoned by the blood of the Kirin?”
The Goddess Isa seemed to have known him from somewhere and she was now under the impression that he had ended the life of the Goddess Celestial Alice What enmity did the Goddess Isa and the Goddess Celestial Alice had with each other?
He adjusted his straw hat as he looked intently at the Stellar Sanctuary He could not forget the mysterious Maiden Ziyan that he had encountered in the Astronomic Stellar Formation…
“Who is she?”
“Is she really the Goddess Celestial Alice?”
“Why is she in the Astronomic Stellar Formation?”
“Why did she ask o to the Stellar Sanctuary?”
“Why did she leave just like this?”
He began to recall her exact words, “Ziyan is not my real name I am indeed the Goddess Celestial Alice of the Ninth Heavens, the Goddess Celestial Alice of the Three Known Realms and in the lower realm, I am known as the Goddess Celestial Alice of the Seven Stars You need not guess further; the Celestial Alice is indeed named after me and I am her true mistress until I have sealed her”
“Maybe she is only pretending to be the Goddess Celestial Alice because she had overheard us?”
He muttered, “But if she is really the Goddess Celestial Alice, why did she want to take her own life?”
Once again he seeain, “If you want to find me, you must ascend the Stellar Sanctuary or look for me in the Immortal Realm of the Ninth Heavens I will be at the Eternal City that is beyond ti You must come…”
He muttered, “Where is this Eternal City?”
All of a sudden he had a spinning headache as he on Sacred Sword…Ziyan…Han Lin…”
All of a sudden Yi Ping frozen in place; it was because he had heard a couple of soft steps that alking in his direction!
The footsteps were extre heard
But Yi Ping’s hearing was now extremely sharp after he had just recovered
Two beautifulquietly in the courtyard It see for someone
One of the maidens wore a beautiful fan like headwear She was dressed in a priestess robe but her headas too flamboyant to mark her as priestess
On the other hand, the otherserenely next to her only had a simple head wear
They were none other than Lady Snowflake and Maiden Ziyue of the Erudite Sect!
Yi Ping was really surprised to see theht, “Why are they here? Who are they waiting for?”
It did not take long for his questions to be answered when the Celeste Wind Maiden and Han Lin had walked quietly into the courtyard!
Yi Ping was startled to see theht, “They know each other?”
The Celeste Wind Maiden looked at her surrounding keenly for intruders before she nodded at Han Lin to indicate that it was convenient enough to talk
Han Lin sniffed the air, “Seeh”
They had failed to detect Yi Ping!
Because Yi Ping had harboured no ill-intentions toward theulated by the Divine Revelation and the Emptiness Translucent that had caused his spirit to be extremely tranquil, he was able to escape their detections!
Yi Ping had no idea that it was nearly impossible for the Celeste Wind Maiden to miss anyone within three hundred paces of her!
And yet, he did!
As he had become one with this divine sword, he was able to conceal the divine aura of the Celestial Alice as well!
It was said that a sas a reflection of the practitioner’s heart If the state of mind was calm then so was the heart And if the heart was as calm as still water then the practitioner would be one with the boundless nature!
And that was exactly the state of divinity that Yi Ping had now!
Yi Ping had no idea how close he was to the Great Emptiness Translucent now He was now short of a crucial breakthrough to do so However this crucial breakthrough was also the hardest and could only depend on providence
Throughout history, there were many practitioners ould be struck at a crucial point and could not advance their state of divinity Those that finally did often took decades to achieve enlightenment!
If a practitioner wanted to becoest and the htenment first!
It was because the state of mind and the state of divinity surpassed the physical li the impossible to be possible!
Lady Snowflake immediately said with a startled expressions as she looked at the Celeste Wind Maiden with a startled expression, “Our respects to the Celestial Priestesses!”
The Celeste Wind Maiden asked coldly, “What is wrong?”
Lady Snowflake s…”
The Celeste Wind Maiden interrupted, “Why my hair has turned to black?”
Both Lady Snowflake and Maiden Ziyue nodded slowly as they simply could not believe their eyes!
The Celeste Wind Maiden explained coldly and her icy derace of the Celestial Mistress If you are faithful to her, you will be rewarded with rare divine pills that can further your divinity”
Lady Snowflake and Maiden Ziyue exclaily, “Yes, yes We will”
Han Lin laughed jovially, “More than that We will overcome all the obstacles in the Stellar Sanctuary and eventual ascend as true immortals!”
Lady Snowflake gasped softly, “Is this possible? So many others have failed…”
Han Lin pointed out confidently, “Others may have failed but our Celestial Mistress has almost succeeded Why do you think that we are here? Maybe you have already heard about it Our Celestial Mistress is actually the Sagess Ai, one of the seven most powerful ancient celestials!”
Lady Snowflake muttered, “True, true…”
Yi Ping was s bitterly to himself, “I can’t believe that Lady Snowflake and Maiden Ziyue have actually fallen for that Even I won’t fall for it”
Han Lin added, “You are not supposed to contact us unless it is very important”
Lady Snowflake hesitated for a while before she e to say, “The Celestial Mistress has proive out a thousand taels of celestiuon Pill…”
Han Lin hummed coldly, “There is news?”
Lady Snowflake sly, “I am sure that you know by now that the Lord of the Tranquil City has the Celestial Alice Divine Sword No one knows that the Immortal Saint of Swords had the Celestial Alice Divine Sword until he lost it to the Lord of the Tranquil City”
Yi Ping was s weakly
It was because he was still unable to get used to being addressed as the Lord of the Tranquil City…
Han Lin hummed aloud as she said, “That is already an open secret Surely you are not thinking of old inforotten the rules of the Celestial Aiel Sect?”
Lady Snowflake set We dare not break protocols toso trivial But it is important that we mention to you”
Han Lin said coldly, “Good If your information is neorthy then you will surely be rewarded But don’t say I didn’t warn you first It has better be good”
The Celeste Wind Maiden hummed coldly in response before she warned icily, “It has better be or else”
Lady Snowflake smiled bitterly, “The Celestial Alice Divine Sword that you have been looking forto say to you next”
Han Lin yawned, “Oh?”
Lady Snowflake lifted her eyes to say coolly, “That is because we have seen the Goddess Celestial Alice herself!”
Immediately the Celeste Wind Maiden and Han Lin became tense as they looked at each other
Han Lin quickly regained her composure, “How do you know she is the real Goddess Celestial Alice? There are countless imposters who pretended to be the Goddess Celestial Alice in the past!”
This time, Lady Snowflake smiled mysteriously before she replied, “How do I know if she is the Goddess Celestial Alice? Of course I do know And I am sure that you know it too We are all the priestesses of the Goddess Theocracy In the secret chamber of the Erudite Sect there is a statue of the Goddess Celestial Alice I am sure that the Celestial Aiel Sect has one too!”
Han Lin and the Celeste Wind Maiden looked at each other again as though they could not believe their ears!
Yi Ping was startled as he thought, “They are all priestesses of the Goddess Theocracy? What is it supposed to mean?”
Lady Snowflake continued, “This same Goddess Celestial Alice has three flower petals on her forehead Not only that, she even wields the Sacred Sword of the Seven Stars If she is not the Goddess Celestial Alice then I really do not knoho she is!”
She paused briefly before adding, “Moreover, you must have noticed that my level of divinity has increased since the last time that we have met”
That was true The Celeste Wind Maiden and Han Lin had found it strange too that her level of divinity had suddenly surged!
Lady Snowflake explained, “That is because the Goddess Celestial Alice has rewarded ative Core Divine Pill!”
The Celeste Wind Maiden and Han Lin iasped with disbelief!
Without entering the Stellar Sanctuary, Lady Snowflake had actually gotten a Negative Core Divine Pill!
It was so precious and so rare that a single Negative Core Divine Pill would i the celestial clans for it!
In short, it was an extremely rare celestial treasure that could aid the celestial practitioner to increase their divinity as well as their th!
The Celeste Wind Maiden and Han Lin were envious; there was no doubt about it from the expressions of their eyes!
Yi Ping on the other hand was gasping secretly!
It was because he finally had an idea who Maiden Ziyan was!
It was soe to anyone!
He thought excitedly, “Maiden Ziyan is really the Goddess Celestial Alice? But who is the Goddess Celestial Alice?”
Han Lin smiled weakly, “Where is she now?”
Lady Snowflake replied coolly, “I do not know She has sio”
The Celeste Wind Maiden said coldly, “Simply disappeared? From here?”
Han Lin said quietly, “If she is really the Goddess Celestial Alice then no one will be able to stop her fro That is because she is a true immortal practitioner!”
Maiden Ziyue really could not resist her curiosity anymore, “She is really an immortal practitioner? She is really the Eternal Goddess?”
