22 Chapter 20: Desolation Empress (1/2)

”Her special physique is known as the 'Saintly Desolation Physique'. We know a little bit about it as this physique had previously appeared in this world.”

”It first appeared in a mortal woman of the Mortal Realm. The woman later became known as the ”Desolation Empress'. She was a frightening woman I must say.” Wen Yin continued.

”Is there a way to help her?” Xu Liang asked her in full seriousness.

”Not that I know of. We don't even know that much about this physique as of yet. The only person who could help us understand it was the Desolation Empress ... but she hasn't been seen in over a hundred years. Even Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu tried to find her when we discovered that Yue had this physique, but she was never found. ” Wen Yin shook her head as she said to Xu Liang.

”I'll say the same thing again. Worrying won't solve anything. Leave all the worrying to your elders. I'm sure that we will soon find a possible way to help her.” Wen Yin continued.

”Oh, I forgot to ask. Where is your father? How come you were the one to come looking for me instead of him? ”  Wen Yin asked as if she suddenly thought about something.

”Father? I don't know much about his whereabouts. I was only told that he went out for some important work.” Xu Liang replied to her.

”Important work? Oh.. he must've gone to check on the barrier. That thing is still weakening. Looks like it won't be long.” Wen Yin said with a serious look on her face.

”Barrier?” Xu Liang asked as confusion appeared on his face.

”Oh, it's nothing. Anyways, she will wake up in a few hours. I'll be going now.” Wen Yin said with a smile as she walked towards the exit.

Xu Liang went ahead and sat near Yue. He couldn't care less about her lack of proper clothing as he was more worried about her waking up.

”Master, are you going to be staying here?” Mengchan inquired as she looked at Xu Liang.

”Yea... Anyways, do you know where my royal father actually went?” Xu Liang asked her with a thoughtful look on his face.

”No” Mengchan shook her head.

”Go out there and try to find out. Tell me once you find out.” Xu Liang said to her before shifting his focus back to Yue.

”Alright, young master,” Mengchan nodded her head as she left. She didn't forget to close the door before leaving.

”Saintly Desolation Physique huh... It sounds so amazing, but who would have known that it would be something like this.” Xu Liang muttered as he looked at the calm face of Yue.

”What was that dream though... And the strange feeling I got when I touched you... it was as if a heavy burden was off my shoulders... Everything is so confusing. Nothing makes sense anymore.” Xu Liang shook his head with a distressed look on his face.

Far away from the Heavenly Realm, there existed a small planet. The planet had no water. As far as one could see, there was nothing but rocks in sight. The rocks and the ground all looked greyish.

There was neither plantation nor any signs of wildlife on the whole planet.

There existed something strange on this planet. It was not distinguishable from the space but when one got closer to the planet, they could see a barrier in one of the sections of the planet.
