1165 Happenings In The Celestial World (1/2)
The moon was high up in the sky, and the surroundings were covered with faintly discernible smoke. The huge lake was like a mirror with tiny silver scales, its quietness made people feel relaxed and happy.
A figure stood proudly on the peak, overlooking the lake and the night scenery. The clouds were hanging upside down in the sky, rotating and rising upward, looking magnificent.
”The past twenty years were like just a day, so what if there are ups and downs in life?” the figure let out a sigh that sounded both emotional and joyful.
Behind him were over ten to twenty people - there were beggars with disheveled hair, monks in kasayas, priests in plain robes, and men and women in various attires of the pugilistic world.
Among them,a scholar-like man smiled and said, ”So, what if there are ups and downs in life? Master Yu, you have comprehended the difficulty of life and death, understood the meaning of emptiness and touched the Door of the Celestial World. Your state of mind has really gone up another level.”
”Master Yu no longer needs to depend on other people's internal functional activities, and can fly up anytime and anywhere. He is the first person capable of doing so in thousands of years in the pugilistic world. Of course, so what if there are ups and downs in life…” the woman in royal court attire next to him smiled, not hiding her respect for him but also showed quite a bit of resentment.
Yu Banshan was the head of the Golden Lake Sect, the current leader of the martial arts world. He had shown a powerful manner since he started, sweeping the world in ten years and had not met any match, and was called the number one person in a thousand years. After that, he stepped out of the pugilistic world and seldom fought with others, but instead competed with himself and heaven. After spending ten years, he finally surpassed the predecessors and reached the level of flying up by himself today, the purpose of inviting his friends was to bid farewell.
He turned around, his clothes were simple, and there was a green jade ruler hanging at his waist. He was almost forty but didn't look old at all, adding a mature charm instead to the fine young man in the past. His eyes were like a sea with hidden glow and unpredictable depth, making the various pugilistic world experts feel a sense of powerlessness like they were facing the heaven and earth.
”Having reached this level, if I don't open the door before me and see what there is at the end of the martial arts journey, I will definitely die with regrets. I have to take this step no matter how much I cannot bear to do so,” Yu Banshan looked up at the sky, his presence and the rolling sea of clouds looked majestic and spectacular.
He bid farewell to his good friends.
The woman in the royal court attire who spoke just now showed undispellable confusion and loss, forcing a smile, ”I wonder what the Celestial World is like? Can immortals be seen everywhere?”
Fantasizing about the Celestial World and the situation after flying to heaven was a common thing for every martial arts practitioner. Now, Yu Banshan was setting off there to experience it personally, so it was inevitable that everyone in the room was curious.
Legend has it that the Celestial World was full of exotic flowers and plants as well as spiritual treasures. The celestial beings there were powerful and lived for eternity!
Yu Banshan laughed, ”The Celestial World must be different from the mortal world, I only hope to have the chance to talk about the path of Taoism with an immortal.”
His tone was full of yearning.
After bidding farewell to each and everyone, Yu Banshan stared at the woman in royal court attire and said with a smile, ”Jinxiu, I've let you down for half my life, would you like to go to the Celestial World together with me?”
Go to the Celestial World together? Everyone around them were stunned. Yu Banshan could fly up to heaven without the help of others and also bring along one person?
What level of cultivation and realm is this!
The eyes of the woman in royal court attire, Qi Jinxiu, suddenly turned foggy. It took her a long while before she nodded and choked sobs, ”I know, I know that you are devoted in martial arts practice. I have never really blamed you for the past decade…”
Looking at Yu Banshan's right hand that was stretched out, she took a step forward and held his hand, standing side by side with him and leaning against the cliff, looking really like a loving couple in the misty surroundings.
Yu Banshan nodded his head again bidding farewell as he held Qi Jinxiu by the waist. The surrounding wind and clouds experienced sudden changes, and the moonlight was being hidden.
Bang!
A purple thunder fell from the sky, mighty and unstoppable, illuminating the surface of the lake until it looked like daytime. Only the edge of the cliff was foggy and unclear, showing a faint air of supremacy.
After the lightning died off and everything was calm, Yu Banshan and Qi Jinxiu were already gone.
Everyone sighed, fantasizing about the Celestial World, feeling lost and hesitant.
From today onwards, Yu Banshan and Qi Jinxiu are considered ranked as celestial beings?
…
The void cracked open, showing deep and dark swirls. Yu Banshan seized the fleeting opportunity, rushing through the space-time barrier.
His primordial spirit became dizzy and his vision blurred. By the time he recovered his senses, he found himself and Qi Jinxiu in the barren hills, surrounded by trees and greenery. Spirituality filled heaven and earth, making people feel relaxed.
”This is the Celestial World?” Qi Jinxiu looked around, full of curiosity.
This is the legendary Celestial World?
Yu Banshan closed his eyes and sensed for a while, before saying with some delight, ”This is indeed the Celestial World, filled with air of vitality. PractiCing here for a month is better than a year in the past.”
”Really?” Qi Jinxiu tried breathing in and out, and immediately showed joy on her face, ”It's indeed the Celestial World!”
Here, there was hope for her to comprehend the difficulty of life and death and to understand the meaning of emptiness!
”Also, look at the sky,” Yu Banshan pointed at the sky again.
