164 Divine Revelations of the Darkswords (1/2)
The hallways had stopped rumbling and it was soon dead silence again.
Yi Ping coughed weakly as he stood up.
He was quickly followed by everyone, one after the other; it was time for them to be on the move again!
The Heaveness Lingfeng whispered softly to him, ”Are you alright?”
Yi Ping nodded weakly, ”I am alright.”
Lingfeng was aching with heartache for him, ”I don't believe. Look at you. You can't even walk straight. I bet that you are in pain and every part of your body must be aching.”
Because the two of them were linked together by the Great Emptiness Translucence, they had also shared the same empathy. The two of them did not need words to share their heartfelt sentiments for each other.
But of course it was also due to Lingfeng's natural ability to inherently express her thoughts with her expressions.
Yi Ping was grinning as he offered a suggestion to her, ”Maybe you have been kicking me too hard lately?”
That was obviously a tease; her kicks were light and full of affections. Absolutely not painful at all!
Lingfeng raised her alluring eyebrows as she stormed off with a shy smile, ”Humph! You certainly look well enough! I am…not going to shower you with my care anymore!”
Yu'Er, Mei'Er, Han Lin broke into soft chuckles and the rest of the group were looking at them with envy. It was because none of them could share this type of intimacy with Yi Ping as the Heaveness.
Yi Ping stared shyly at this stunning beauty with a broad grin. It seemed that Lingfeng always had a knack in touching his soft spot and making him forget his pain.
She was actually the main reason why he was in the Stellar Sanctuary and why he was in the Celestial Realm!
She knew it and he knew it so there was no need for them to spell it out.
When Lingfeng was within his sight, his heart would always burn fiercely for her and he would not let her come into harm's way!
But he was soon asking himself, ”I must secure the Immortal Practice of the Dark Chaos Lord no matter how hard it is. With the names of the Immortal Practice now, I am sure we may eventually develop a practice but for my protégé master and Lingfeng, they are running out of time…”
”But even if I manage to find the Dark Chaos Lord's Immortal Practice, will it be too late?”
It was because breaking through from one state of divinity to the next state of divinity was not an easy thing…
Some practitioners could spend their entire life pondering the divine state of the weaponless practitioner, weapon in the heart and never achieve anything!
So what if the theories behind the names were known? Was it possible for a practitioner to truly grasp the heart and soul of the immortal state?
If it was so easy to become an immortal practitioner then, why was it that none had ever succeeded except for the Dark Chaos Lord? It was not to say that the rest of the celestial practitioners were all lacking in infinity wisdom…
He turned to look melancholy at his group as he thought, ”Lingfeng, Yixian, Youxue, Lele, Lie Qing…everyone…I rather that I undertake this journey alone…”
All of a sudden Lingfeng had turned around with a cold smile, ”Yi Ping, I know what you are thinking.”
Yi Ping was startled, ”You know?”
Lingfeng replied, ”Yes I do.”
Yi Ping replied weakly, ”I don't believe.”
Lingfeng sighed softly, ”Do you still remember what you have told me when you first step foot on the Holy Amalgamate Mountains? That you will protect us no matter how difficult it is?”
Yi Ping muttered, ”I do…”
Lingfeng smiled, ”Good that you remember! Don't think that you are protecting me by wandering off by yourself because you are not. If you would to do that, I will surely kill myself!”
Yi Ping was stunned as he began to tremble.
That was because he knew that she would do it and she did as the Heaveness…
Even the Universal Old Man was trembling and his eyes had turned teary when he had overheard Lingfeng, ”My Heaveness…”
Everyone was stunned at the display of the Heaveness' resolute will; if anyone had thought that she was just an alluring heavenly maiden with a pretty face then they were wrong!
She could not live without Yi Ping and Yi Ping could not live without her either!
Lingfeng said melancholy, ”If we perish then so be it. It is better than filling my days with extreme loneliness. At least we perish together. I can see and feel your pain throughout. It is good enough for me…”
Yu'Er and Mei'Er were both overwhelmed with tears!
The Celestial Yixian and the Heavenly Temptress Lie Qing had lowered their gazes!
Shen Xingyue clasped her mouth. It was plain that she was in tears as she sobbed, ”That's enough…enough…”
Even Ye Yin, Han Lin, the Goddess Aiel were all looking away!
The Goddess Celestial Alice, the Goddess Isa, the Goddess of Mercy and Lele may have a stoned expression but they were clearly overwhelmed by emotions as evidenced by their sparking golden eyes!
As for Youxue and Yunzi, their silent tears were already flowing and they were already trembling!
It was because Lingfeng had said what was in their hearts but she had taken one step further than them; she was determined to kill herself if Yi Ping dies!
Lie Qing muttered to herself, ”I…want to be with Yi Ping till the end of time, till the oceans have dried up and till the earth had crumbled to dust. But if any of these maidens is not around, Yi Ping will surely be tormented…especially for Lingfeng…”
The Heaveness Lingfeng lifted her divine voice as she trembled, ”So Yi Ping, you listen up! You still owe me a wish. I want to invoke it now. You have better take the whole lot of us to the very top of the Stellar Sanctuary and find the real Immortal Practice!”
Yi Ping muttered, ”Lingfeng…I will…I will…”
Lingfeng hummed coldly before she softened to a gentle whisper, ”You rascal. I know your every little sly movement. You know you can't hide from me. You know that I am reaching the very last of my divine wraths and I may not survive the next without the Immortal Practice. Therefore you will rather die trying so that you can join me in the netherworld later. But think it over first. I am not that important to you. You still have so many others that need you. It won't be long before you have forgotten about me so don't take it too hard when I am no longer around.”
Yi Ping was stunned into silence. It was because Lingfeng had virtually guessed what was on his mind. With her superb intellect, it was not hard for her to guess what was in the minds of everyone!
That was also the reason why the Heaveness had also survived far longer than the other Ancient Celestials and even the Universal Old Man had depended on her to navigate through the Stellar Sanctuary!
Yi Ping shook his head, ”Lingfeng, you know already…”
All of a sudden Yi Ping laughed maddening as he punched his fist on the wall before he wept aloud, ”Everyone…I really have no confidence if I am able to make it. I don't even know if I will be able to protect everyone till to the very end…”
He turned around as he wiped his tears with his hands, ”But I promise all of you! I will surely fight to till to the very end!”
Lingfeng nodded tearfully, ”Good!”
Everyone nodded as they quickly surrounded Yi Ping and Lingfeng…
The Goddess Celestial Alice said divinely, ”So is it love? It is such a powerful emotion…”
The Goddess Isa stared blankly at Lingfeng, ”I…today I have finally realized that I am so wrong in the past. Love is self-sacrificing…”
She took a secret glance at Alice as she thought, ”The Dark Chaos Lord really loves you. That is why he has imprisoned you because he did not want you to end your life when he is no longer around. It is only today that I have finally realized it. Alice, sorry…”
But that was her thoughts and in the end, she did not have the courage to say what was on her mind to Alice. This apology was simply too hard for her to swallow…
Her thoughts were interrupted by Yi Ping who had said aloud, ”Let's us go now!”
It was followed by a noisy chuckle by the maidens!
Youxue laughed softly, ”It seems that our Yi Ping has finally found himself again!”
Yi Ping smiled gently at her, ”Youxue, we may have to rely on you to guide us through the Stellar Sanctuary.”
Youxue flushed shyly, ”I will try my very best!”
Han Lin protested weakly, ”Yi Ping, why do you trust her so much?”
Yi Ping laughed as he explained, ”It is because Xue'Er (Youxue) has the knack in finding conceal passages. Moreover her power of observation is also superior.”

Han Lin raised her eyebrows, ”Oh really?”
Yi Ping smiled gently to her, ”Yes, really!”
Han Lin asked, ”But earlier, I have clearly remembered that it is the two of you that have led us into the Iron Formation?”
Yi Ping was startled as he blinked his eyes, ”This…”
Youxue began to lower her gaze and it was clear that she was flustering with embarrassment!
The Goddess Isa said, ”That is right. We can trust Maiden Youxue?”
The Universal Old Man was muttering, ”It seems to be the case earlier…”
