Chapter 239: The Warrior-Gods

Yi Ping was ushered to the palace gate of the Great Lord Xuan Yuan without further incident by the Great Lord Shenmu

Along the way, they did not talk

Or rather, it was inconvenience for hi at all for the Great Lord Shenmu would be able to hear them

Yi Ping was forced to sigh with resignation as he had too many questions to ask

He would rather the Great Lord Shen but he did not

The Great Lord Shenate of the palace slowly opened and a dozen other Desolate Immortals could be seen, “We have reached”

At the sight of the Great Lord Shenan to shout “Great Lord Shenmu is back!”

The Great Lord Shenmu looked at him and said, “Come on in Aren’t you curious about what the palace of the Great Lord Xuan Yuan is going to look like?”

Yi Ping nodded as he entered through the gate before saying, “Indeed!”

The Great Lord Shenhed aloud, “Good! You are honest Do you know that even the Goddess Aeris has never been here before?”

Yi Ping was startled as he looked at the Goddess Aeris who replied, “Indeed that is so The Great Lord Xuan Yuan doesn’t like visitors”

As they talked, the Great Lord Shen stairs As soon as they stepped on the top of the walls, they were greeted by strong furious winds as they overlooked the layout of the Ancient City!

The vieas so beautiful and Yi Ping could see beautiful citadels of all sizes chaining to the Ancient Fortress And above the Ancient Fortress were ed beasts of all sizes!

The Great Lord Shenmu said, “We are at the main part of the Ancient Fortress where we can see almost the entire layout”

Yi Ping murmured, “It is so beautiful! How many citadels are chained to the Ancient Fortress? How did they stay afloat?”

The Great Lord Shenmu looked at him with a wry smile, “Surely you know that there are twelve citadels that are chained to the Ancient Fortress Throughout the years, only two citadels remain untouched by the other Great Lords They are the Verdant Palace of the Great Lord Xuan Yuan and the Firmament Citadel of the World Ruler Fu Xi”

He did not answer Yi Ping why the Ancient Fortress and the twelve citadels were able to stay afloat because the logic was as si

Even Yi Ping felt a little foolish when he had asked that It was because he had suddenly remembered that the first ti itself in mid-air and yet it was heavier than it looked!

The Stellar Sanctuary, the floating islands of the Celestial Reals that he had seen were all the saravity!

But when the Great Lord Shenhed aloud “You sure are a curious one Few immortals bother to ask that We are immortals and live outside the ravity while we the iet me?”

Yi Ping was sturavity?”

Seeing his perplexed look, the Great Lord Shenhed jovially “Never mind! That is just a term that I have coined Let’s talk about other matters!”

Yi Ping quickly said, “No, it is alright I am curious to know more…”

The Great Lord Shenhed jovially, “Maybe we shall talk about that e are free So what do you think of the Heaven Goddess Zero? Did she say anything to you?”

Yi Ping was startled as he murmured, “What about her?”

The Goddess Aeris hu but trouble You have better not get too involved with her”

The Great Lord Shen, “Well, it is true that she is trouble and that includes her sister as well”

Yi Ping did have a question so he asked, “They are really sisters?”

The Great Lord Shenhed, “They are really sisters They are birthed from the same mountain essences You can’t tell?”

Yi Ping smiled weakly as he said, “Oh I really can’t tell”

The Great Lord Shenhed jovially, “She has four other sisters in case you do not know!”

Yi Ping was startled, “She has four other sisters?!”

The Great Lord Shen that the two sisters are already so hard to deal with and there are four others more?”

Yi Ping smiled weakly as he nodded, “If they are also Ninth I then I may not be able to handle them”

The Great Lord Shenmu smiled wryly, “You don’t have to worry about it The other four sisters have long perished”

Yi Ping was startled as he asked, “They are dead?”

The Great Lord Shenmu nodded solemnly, “Aye! They have perished in the ith the Great God Pangu ten thousand years ago But don’t worry Even if they were here now, you have nothing to be afraid of the Io even I have to be afraid of theer!”

Yi Ping trembled a little when he had heard that But for so sensation when he had heard about the four sisters He thought, “Why is that I have such a strange feeling that I have actually known them?”

The Great Lord Shenmu asked, “I say, what do you think when the World Ruler Fu Xi says he will give anyone you desire? What if he were to give you the Heaven Goddess Zero?”

Yi Ping smiled weakly, “I will not”

The Great Lord Shenmu asked, “Why not?”

Yi Ping rubbed his nose as he replied coolly, “No one has the right to give anyone away Moreover, she is his woman, ain’t it?”

The Great Lord Shen loud!

Yi Ping was startled He looked at the Goddess Aeris as well for an answer but she could only smile weakly so he turned to ask the Great Lord Shen?”

The Great Lord Shenmu stared at him blankly, “You didn’t know that the World Ruler Fu Xi and the Heaven Goddess Zero are brother and sister?”

This ti was even more startled!

He stammered, “They are?”

The Great Lord Shenmu said, “Of course they are! Everyone knows about it Don’t tellthat you have forgotten?”

Yi Ping smiled weakly as he answered, “Yes, it slipped my mind…”

The Great Lord Shenmu asked, “So you desire the Heaven Goddess Zero or not?”

Yi Ping felt a little giddy This Great Lord Shenh the Goddess Aeris was not around!

The Goddess Aeris see dumb or maybe because she knew her place only too well and did not dare to interrupt the Great Lord Shenmu!

Yi Ping answered weakly, “Of course not!”

All of a sudden the Great Lord Shenmu became very solemn, “You desire the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien?”

The Goddess Aeris raised her eyebrows as she stared at Yi Ping…

Yi Ping was startled as he stammered, “Of course not!”

The Great Lord Shen, “Well, you have better not! Or I will surely be your foe!”

Yi Ping was startled but he quickly caught on and asked, “You…fancy her?”

The Great Lord Shen, “Of…course…not!nonsense! Rubbish!+ That is not true!”

Yi Ping was stunned by the reaction of the Great Lord Shenmu It was all too obvious that the Great Lord Shenmu really liked the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien!

He asked all of a sudden, “Why don’t you talk to her?”

The Great Lord Shenained his composure to reply, “We are from different factions We can only be foes…”

Yi Ping smiled, “No one says foes can’t be friends as well Why don’t you look for her and give her a little trouble to get her attention?”

The Great Lord Shenht! Who says foes can’t be friends as well? Haha, I aates later!”

The Goddess Aeris said coldly, “My lord, the domain of the World Ruler Fu Xi is forbidden to us and we need to bear the consequences of our actions”

The Great Lord Shenotten…”

Yi Ping said, “Don’t be too sad Your destiny is in your own hands so don’t be cornered by circumstances”

The Great Lord Shen with a weird look, “What are you? Why is that I find that everything you say makes sense?”

Yi Ping replied alh a lot and al that I have cherished…if I cannot control destiny then I aht it…therefore I believe that destiny is in ht me this…”

The Great Lord Shenmu and the Goddess Aeris looked at each other before appraising Yi Ping with a new look…

The Great Lord Shenmu said slowly, “Say I have heard froht with hiht hiain?”

Yi Ping was surprised that the Great Lord Shenmu would suddenly ask hiuy did not seem to hide any malice so he replied honestly, “I am not his match!”

The Goddess Aeris sainst hi him!”

Yi Ping looked at the starry heavens, “That is only because I got lucky and I aht I may not be his match if the duel were to continue further Moreover, he had not even utilized the sanctorum power of his divine sword yet”

The Great Lord Shenht me then in?”

Yi Ping smiled weakly, “I may not be your match too!”

The Great Lord Shenhed aloud, “You are too blunt! But I like it! Haha!”

The Goddess Aeris said quietly, “Then you are really not their match If even you think that you are not able to defeat them then your lack of confident will be your downfall…”

But the Great Lord Shen eyes and the Great Lord Shen, “But you don’t seem to be afraid of us”

Yi Ping whispered in secret, “That is because I have not fought to my best yet!”

The Great Lord Shenhters, the hters of all They will readily ad yet at the say pressure It is because they will only grow stronger if their opponents are stronger, their fighting will can only increase and not decrease And I think that you are one of thehtiest of all the warriors, a true born fighter!”

Yi Ping whispered with a soft sigh, “But I think that you are the True Warrior-God I can sense your strength”

The Great Lord Shenth too but for some unknown reasons that I can’t really explain, I find that you are restraining your strength”

Yi Ping smiled weakly but did not reply hith in his current form He was astonished secretly that he was still able to hold his ground against the Ninth Positioning Iht a prolong battle with them

The Great Lord Shenhed aloud as he looked at the Goddess Aeris and Yi Ping, “We have a good view here and I hope that you will be wise to choose your sides well Hopefully we can watch this speculator view once again Let’s us be on our way”

Yi Ping nodded as he took one last look at the citadels which the Great God Pangu once called home For some reasons, he felt at home here for the very first time…

As soon as they descended to the palace ground, two groups consisting of seven scantily dressedtheir glances hu, “Great Lord Shen! We have been expecting you”

Yi Ping observed that they were all Fifth Positioning Desolate I

The Great Lord Shen place and the Great Lord Yi Ping to his”

The leading roup said to the Goddess Aeris, “Great Goddess Aeris, follow me”

The leading , “Great Lord Yi Ping, please follow my lead”

Yi Ping was startled as he looked at the Goddess Aeris, “We are not going together?”

The Great Lord Sheno to her bed cha to be the Great Lord Xuan Yuan’s new consort tomorrow!”

Yi Ping sighed softly for he still had some questions to ask of the Goddess Aeris

The Great Lord Shenmu smiled, “Take a little rest After which the Great Lord Xuan Yuan will like to see you”

The leading , please follow me”

Yi Ping nodded slowly as he began to follow her to a hallatched behind by the s Great Lord Shenmu

The ie and as majesty as the Stellar Sanctuary

For a while Yi Ping was being escorted by the seven maidens They did not talk to them and he was a little discorances were so overwhel

Finally they took hi waters as they entered a large room

In this rooe bath in the middle and there were fountains everywhere

Yi Ping was perplexed as he asked, “We are not going to a resting room?”

The leadingroom?”

Yi Ping explained quickly, “A place for me to sleep”

The leading lance to nod shyly, “The bed chamber, yes After we have bathed our lord, ill accompany you”

Yi Ping was so startled by the subtle expressions of these maidens that he had wished he had never asked her in the first place!

Before he could regain his composure, he was further startled when all sevenhis robe for him!

He was so startled that he panicky said, “What are you all trying to do?”

Ian to fall onto their knees panicky as they cried out at the same time, “My lord, please be merciful to us!”

Yi Ping said quickly, “Please get up It is not that I…err…I just don’t want to leaveAlso, I prefer to bath alone”

The leading htened as she pleaded tearfully, “My lord, please don’t drive us out or the Great Lord Xuan Yuan will punish us severely…”

Yi Ping s what to do He cursed hientleman but this is too much…”

So he quickly said to the leading maiden, “What is your name?”

The leading maiden was even more startled as she stammered tearfully, “I…I…”

Yi Ping quickly said, “I…er…a to punish you I just want to know your name”

The leading maiden quickly answered almost incoherently, “I…I am…the Goddess Lessica My…na…”

Yi Ping quickly said, “Goddess Lessica, can you stay here while you dismiss the rest?”

The Goddess Lessica was startled but she quickly lowered her glances, “I…understand and obey your will I will…accompany my lord”

As soon as she had said that, the six other rabbed their robes and had quietly left the bath chamber!

Yi Ping heaved a soft sigh as the sight of seven naked maidens were really too hts

It was not because he was lecherous But he was in a hostile place and he ary Secondly, he was too startled to react!

As soon they had left, Yi Ping had quickly grabbed her robe and put it on her as he said “Don’t be afraid I just want to talk to you”

The Goddess Lessica was startled as she sta…”

Yi Ping paused for a while as he thought, “It is too easy What should I ask her first?”

Actually he was at a loss on what to ask her He did not want her to be punished but he did not want her to be naked either…

The Goddess Lessica seee as she said shyly, “Does…my lord not desire to take me?”

Yi Ping asked curiously, “Take you?”

The Goddess Lessica was flushi+ng as she trehtly, “To take me into your unison…and to…enjoy me…”

Yi Ping was startled as he received a culture shock He quickly said, “Huh, no!”

The Goddess Lessica collapsed tearfully, “Does my lord…detests me?”

Yi Ping smiled weakly, “Oh no, of course not That is not what I mean!”

As he paused to find words, the Goddess Lessica lowered her glances shyly, “I a as it pleases my lord”

Yi Ping smiled weakly as he said quickly, “It is not that I can’t harolden body It is best for you this way…”

The Goddess Lessica was suddenly tearful again as she cried softly as she shi+vered uncontrollably, “My golden body has long been shattered by the Great Lord Xuan Yuan and the other Great Lords…it doesn’t matter anymore!”

Yi Ping was shocked as he stared blankly at her, “This, this is too cruel…”

The Goddess Lessica sobbed softly, “This is just my fate”

Yi Ping gritted his teeth as he asked teething with rage, “Why did the Great Lord Xuan Yuan do that? This is so outrageous!”

The Goddess Lessica asked softly as she eyed Yi Ping fearfully, “My lord, you are a guest of the Great Lord Xuan Yuan You shouldn’t have said that…”

Yi Ping clenched his fists as he treuest I don’t have to be polite to him!”

All of a sudden the Goddess Lessica touched hi hi at hi sports with me Maybe you are sent by the Great Lord Xuan Yuan to test me But please, don’t shatter my dreams just like this Let me disappear in this beautiful dream…”

Yi Ping interrupted, “I am really not here to test you…”

All of a sudden he began to search his body as hewith us then so can my possessions…”

Suddenly he yelled aloud, startling the Goddess Lessica as he said excitedly, taking out a golden pill “This is the Divine Dragon Pill Luckily I still have one! With this Divine Dragon Pill, surely you can recover your golden body!”

The Goddess Lessica was startled as she stammered, “This is…all too precious…” as she looked at the Divine Dragon Pill with beholden!

Yi Ping sht, “Compared to the other precious pills that are in the Stellar Sanctuary, this is actually just the most common…”

Unlike the Material Realms of the Three Known Realms, the Desolate Realm was not spiritually enriched and it was difficult to concoct even a divine pill Therefore, the Divine Dragon Pill was indeed extremely precious!

The Goddess Lessica looked at Yi Ping pitifully, “This…this is really for me?”

Yi Ping s!”

The Goddess Lessica took it hesitatingly, al a prank on her It took her almost like an eternity before she finally sed the Divine Dragon Pill as she took it with treers!

The Goddess Lessica see it as she took a forlorn look at Yi Ping, “My lord, you are too kind to me I don’t kno to repay you”

Yi Ping ser crying, I am content”
