Chapter 11: The Divine Practice

The at intently at the Goddess Celestial Alice and waiting eagerly for the secrets of the divine to be revealed!

Everyone was feeling excited and they had crowded around the Goddess Celestial Alice in a circular seating arrangement!

Yi Ping, the Universal Old Man and Old Reverend Vanquisher Sage were suddenly feeling hot despite the level of their internal strength training It was because they had found the next to so many extraordinary beautiful maidens!

Lady Winter Plu close to the Universal Old Man as she murmured softly, “Excuse me…”

The Universal Old Man was flustering because he had suddenly noticed that he had body contact with her bosoet as Old Reverend Vanquisher Sage!

Old Reverend Vanquisher Sage was not only cuddled by these heavenly ood eye view of the Goddess Aiel as cladded revealingly

He found hi…

Yi Ping was not faring better than thehtly by Yu’Er and Mei’Er but by now he had already gotten used to it The reason why he was flustering was because he was looking at Alice up close Even her extrerievous injuries could not hide her astonishi+ng beauty and peerless elegance!

Lingfeng and Ye Yin were obviously displeased to see the current expressions on these three men!

Lingfeng said coldly, “I wonder what is going on in the minds of these three dirty old men?”

Lele protested i isn’t old!”

The Goddess Aiel gasped as she quickly closed up her legs and crossed her arms over her bosoms, “Don’t look…”

Her skirt was really too short and her silken bodice was too transparent!

Shen Xingyue said coolly, “Don’t put Ping’Er in the sa dirty, he would surely have nosebleed but he is not…”

But no sooner had she said that, Yi Ping had a sudden nosebleed when he had noticed Aiel!

Ye Yin was displeased, “It seeination ran wild too”

The Universal Old Man and Old Venerable Vanquisher Sage quickly made a feeble quick protest, “We didn’t…”

The Universal Old Man said with a straight face, “I ahly cultivated Ancient Celestial…”

Old Venerable Vanquisher Sage smiled weakly, “Same here…”

Yi Ping was flushi+ng so red that he began to stammer, “I…I…”

Youxue said coldly, “Why are all theinto eunuchs all of a sudden?”

Mei’Er laughed jovially, “Because…because they are all so simple minded!”

Yu’Er joined in the tease ot it Men are simple minded!”

Ye Yin muttered softly, “I never have fondness ofto sacrifice their pride, dignity and even their love ones to advance themselves They only kno to bully women…”

Lie Qing almost choked when she had heard that, “Like real I re Just who is bullying who?”

Old Venerable Vanquisher Sage was startled, “What? You have given the Forget Affection Wine to him? Is there any leftover…”

The Forget Affection Wine was extre the practitioner’s internal energy It was so precious that not even the elders of the Holy Ascension are able to savor it

Ye Yin the Ascension Goddess was suddenly flushi+ng shyly, “Go ask Yi Ping and the Celestial Fairy They have finished it!”

Old Venerable Vanquisher Sage gulped his own saliva as he turned to look at Yi Ping and Yixian who had suddenly turned extreht…

More so for the Celestial Fairy because she had lost her first ti with happiness when she had recalled that night…

She turned to s’Er…”

Yi Ping quickly answered gently, “Xian’Er, yes?”

But Yixian si’Er, ’Er…”

Everyone could see froolden eyes, all her love and affections for Yi Ping…

Ye Yin the Ascension Goddess was grinning at hi time Do you think you want to have a little drink with me?”

Yi Ping was already flustered and onlyat hih he knew that this was not the appropriate time to think about the matters of the heart

But he was human after all…

Lie Qing laughed shyly as she noticed that Yi Ping were couess…I have to work harder now What do you say, Sister Youxue and Sister Lingfeng?”

Youxue si…”

She was thinking of her own ti…

The Heaveness Lingfeng gave an alluring look before replying, “Don’t drag me in I just want to kick hiet his place! Hmph!”

Yi Ping had heard her and he quickly replied, “Lingfeng, you have been kicking et that you are the Heaveness no unbeco of you…”

Lingfeng raised her thin eyebrows as she expressed a pretended shock look, “Hrow tired of kicking you Not now, not ever!”

She lifted her fingers to snap once before she broke into an alluring so wobbly, “You…since day one, you have been followingfor a kick then why are you following me?”

Yi Ping knew that he would never be able to win an argument over her So he just smiled bitterly!

All of a sudden the Goddess Celestial Alice was giggling and there was hint of tears in her eyes

Her laughter was infectious that even the Goddess Isa and the Goddess of Mercy were also s!

She asked, “Are you all always like this? It is so interesting Youstories I will like to know all the tiniest details!”

Yi Ping said aardly, “I will surely tell you if you really would like to know But maybe not down to all the tiniest details…”

He was now flushi+ng so red that all thethe Universal Old Man and Old Reverend Vanquisher Sage were all laughing jovially much to his embarrassment!

All of a sudden Alice became solemn as she said, “I really want to experience this love…”

But she quickly changed the conversation by saying, “You know, it is really unthinkable for any immortal maidens to share the saet so well? That is because the Dual Celestial is between one man and one woman There is no ht with Isa…”

The Goddess Isa smiled weakly, “That is all in the past now”

Yunzi looked tenderly at the Goddess Celestial Alice, “Thank you! Or else I would not be able to be reunited with Yi Ping in the Stellar Sanctuary But I have a question Didn’t the Goddess Aiel says that the Great God Pangu will have three consorts to share the Three Known Realm with him?”

Yang Min was about to ask the same question too but since Yunzi had taken the initiative to ask, she was glad

The Goddess Celestial Alice smiled shyly, “That is the flaith this prophecy because it is unthinkable for u chooses to Dual Celestial with, that maiden will be very lucky But come to think of this…”

She began to look tenderly at Yi Ping as she continues, “…who knohat the Great God Yi Ping has for us?”

Yi Ping immediately protested weakly, “I…am not a Great God!”

She smiled, “Maybe not now but in future, you will be”

Shen Xingyue hummed coldly, “Like father, like son!”

The Goddess of Mercy immediately asked curiously, “What do you mean?”

Shen Xingyue said angelically, “Maybe the Iamy but it is coe for example, he has three wives and nine concubines!”

Shen Xingyue was the only one that knows the White Sage family history intied to each other…

Yi Ping smiled bitterly, “My real father, is faithful to my mother…”

Shen Xingyue whispered, “But you don’t really look like the faithful one…”

Yi Ping s about the Divine Practice…”

All of a sudden he had noticed that Alice/Ziyan was looking extremely weak so he panicky said, “Maybe we can let Maiden Ziyan have a little rest first…”

The Goddess Celestial Alice sht You don’t have to worry”

She inhaled softly before saying, “As celestial practitioners, there are altogether nine tribulations to overcome…”

Iroup as puzzled looks were exchanged!

It was because they were all taught that there were just seven celestial divinities to overcome before they could ascend as full Celestials!

Genesis, Enlighten, Emotion, Transverse, Seventh Sense, Crisis and Ascend…

Yunzi was the first to say, “No, she’s right There are indeed nine tribulations to overcootten about the first tribulation which is the Divine Calamity that we have to first overcome…”

Yixian nodded gently as she said woefully, “And the ninth tribulation is just after the Ascend, just after we have ascended to the Celestial Realm!”

At the saroup as they recalled their own experiences when they had ascended to the Celestial Realm…

shi+ shi+ and Yang Min were particular upset when they remembered their own experiences when they had finally ascended They had thought that it would be just the start of a whole new celestial experience in the Celestial Realhtmares…

Yi Ping was tre experiences and how he had almost lost everyone…

The Goddess Celestial Alice continued, “Some practitioners have it easy for the first and the ninth tribulation while soe the fact that it is still a divine tribulation to be overcome All the nine heavenly tribulations are equally perilous Anythe way is fatal!”

Yi Ping nodded at this understanding as he absorbed this knowledge eagerly!

She continued with deliberate, “The real celestial practice will only begin after a practitioner has first overcome the Divine Calamity Basically a practitioner has to prove that they would be worthy to be a celestial practitioner This may be the first of the heavenly tribulation but eneration”

Yi Ping sighed softly, “That is right Strength has nothing to do with overco the Divine Calamity”

The heart intricate skills of the various clans were an initiation to be a celestial practitioner If they fully grasped the higher state of divinity present in their intricate heart formula skills then they would have overcome their Divine Calamity after a short time

In that forgotten time before the Great Descendant, numerous celestial clans had thrived in the Mortal Real’s previous incarnation the White Sage was from that era!

But after the Great Descendant which witnessed the destruction of thecelestial clans had chosen to cut their ties with each other and fro their clans into martial clans

In time, the secret celestial clans were to ee to overcome the Divine Calamity

Without interaction with the other celestial clans, many of the practitioners e their Divine Calamities only when their martial levels reached the peak

Without fighting other worthy exponents, without killing, without bullying…how many of the hopeful celestial practitioners could reach the peak of perfection of their martial skills?

But they did not know that it took great restraint not to abuse their martial skills The Divine Calamity was a heavenly wrath that too, would restraint if they restraint But if they did not, not many would be able to overcome the Divine Calamity

Many had perished in thisthe reason why…

Or they were turned into Dark Celestials…

The Celestial Fairy Yixian and the Heavenly Te of their own experience when they had first faced the Divine Calamity for the very first time…

Shen Xingyue the Fiery Phoenix ’Er do you know that when you are the White Sage, you have overcome the Divine Calamity effortlessly?”

The Goddess Celestial Alice calmly explained the Divine Calamity to them

She added, “There is another Divine Calamity called the Great Descendant; it is when the opposite is true It is the only time that Dark Celestials can hope to ascend to the Celestial Realm and when celestial practitioner can kill another celestial practitioner without incurring Heaven’s wrath and without turning into Dark Celestial”

Yi Ping heaved a long sigh…

It was because many of thethis dark period…

The Celeste Wind Maiden said quietly, “In the Celestial Realm, even without any Great Descendant, the Dark Celestials and the Golden Celestials have been fighting for supremacy for an unknown tiroup”

She shi+vered a little

It was because the Golden Celestials had always been wary of the Dark Celestials But the Celestial Mistress alias the Goddess Aiel had taken her in

She used to be a Dark Celestial and she had often wondered about her fate, “Can a Dark Celestial cultivates as an immortal practitioner?”

She smiled coldly From what she could see now, the Immortal Realm was equally as ues

Alice said quietly, “In whatever divinity a practitioner will choose eventually, be it as a Golden Celestial or a Dark Celestial, they would be able to attain as an immortal practitioner But it is better to cultivate as a Golden Celestial than a Dark Celestial It is because the path of a Dark Celestial is far too hard and not many can hope to ascend to the Celestial Realm”

Yi Ping nodded, “Indeed…”

But he was thinking, “Unless the ti…”

It was because the Heavens balanced between good and the dark continuously During the Dark Descendant, it was the Dark Celestials that were thriving Woes to the orthodox celestial practitioners that found the this time…

Alice nodded as she continued, “After the first heavenly tribulation of the Divine Calamity is overcome and the practitioners transcend as Celestials, they would be able to overcome the limitation of life and death And as Celestials, they have to overcohten, Emotion, Transverse, Seventh Sense, Crisis and Ascend in order to transcend to the Celestial Reales has a lower, medium and upper tier”

Yi Ping and his group nodded as theythemselves Indeed that hat they had known

“Genesis is the initiate awakening and the start of your Divine Practice”

“Enlighten is when you finally realized the separation between heaven and the earth, reaching enlighten yourself to further cultivation”

“Ee that is the most difficult to overcome for the emotional mortals”

“Transverse it the liives you enhance speed and endurance”

“The Seventh Sense is the awakening of your seventh sense and your innate sense It is also difficult A long period of peaceful meditation is required to overcome it and it can also drive many practitioners to insanity”

shi+ shi+, Jing’Er, Yang Min, Lady Winter Pluyue nodded slowly

They had witnessed e of personality or insanity in this stage This was a divine stage that opened the practitioners to hallucinations as they tried to awaken their seventh sense…

“Crisis is the time when the practitioner has to overcoain But this time, the Divine Calamity is many times more powerful and it will occur three times It is because at this point of ti to overcome Heaven’s limitations on them to ascend to the Celestial Realm At this point of time the Divine Calamity will find any opportunity to stop the practitioner After overcoe of Crisis, the eyes of the practitioner will turn to gray It is the sign of the darkness before the light”

Again e of Crisis previously began to shudder Many of the high level celestial practitioners had actually perished at this point because they had expended theira confrontation; it was because their ene this divine crisis and to prevent the the Ascend Level!

Therefore most of the practitioners would rather live in isolation and be on their alert for any sign of the Divine Calan had taken place, they knew that they had only seven days to prepare for it!

“After overco the Crisis Level, the practitioner will finally attain the Ascend Level At this point of ti as True Celestials to the Celestial Realm At the middle tier of the Ascend, the eyes of the practitioner will slowly lit up and finally beco a final Divine Calaan the final ascension to the Celestial Realm!”
