202 The Second Feather Sword Shard (1/2)
The archway of this passage was even grander than the earlier levels and instead of gold and white, was cobalt blue and white.
Yi Ping muttered, ”It is beautiful…”
The Goddess Celestial Alice smiled, ”But it is also dangerous. I have never been past the 80th level.”
Skylord Jun agreed, ”I am sure of it too.”
Everyone was slightly surprised that the Skylord Jun was actually the first to agree with Alice. It seemed that after they were grouped together for a while, their animosities were no more!
The Goddess Isa and the Goddess Asura were with them and they knew the reason; in the trials of the Stellar Sanctuary they had all learnt new respect for each other!
Their group was lively and despite their weariness, they were all energized by the presence of each other, especially by Yi Ping and Yixian!
Everyone was interested to know what had happened to Yixian and what exactly had happened during their separations!
Yi Ping and Yixian hastily spent some time doing quick explanations even though they were on the brink of exhaustion but the joyous sight of everyone had kept them going!
Ye Yin stared at Yi Ping in disbelief, ”So in the end, it is Sister Lie Qing that end up saving your group? And not you?”
Yi Ping protested weakly with a weak sigh, ”Just one little bit more, I can bring that Guardian Divine Naga down but at the last moment, I have completely lost all my strength…”
At this Lingfeng became upset as she knocked Yi Ping's head, ”You thick head! You are already so exhausted and yet you have to display your Ten Thousands Memories Sword. Of course your strength will be snapped! You have almost lost your life because of that!”
Yi Ping smiled weakly, ”I wasn't thinking…”
That was the truth.
As he engaged the Guardian Divine Naga, he was totally immersed in it as he instinctively gave himself to defeat it. In that instant he was acting upon his pure intuitional reflexes.
He muttered weakly when he had thought of that instant, ”If I can still persist a little longer, I would have defeat that monster…”
Lingfeng knocked his head again angrily, ”Right!”
Yu'Er, Mei'Er, Xingyue, the Goddess Asura, the Goddess Isa and all the other maidens were gasping out for Yi Ping, ”Lingfeng, that is enough…”
Yi Ping said weakly to everyone, ”No matter.”
Lingfeng immediately softened as she turned her head around, ”Go and take a rest first…”
Yi Ping could see and feel her silent tears as he tapped her gently on her shoulder, ”Lingfeng…”
But she shrugged her shoulder as she turned aside, ”Just leave me alone, you heartless man…”
Yi Ping could see her silent tears that were dripping on the ground even though he could not see her face. He was heartbroken and was at a loss to comfort her. It was because he knew that Lingfeng was worried for him and he knew that this time, he had come really close to hovering on death's door.
That he could still stand was because he was sustaining himself by his sheer willpower alone!
Yi Si noticed her father dejected look and asked anxiously, ”Father, are you alright?”
Yi Ping answered weakly, ”I am alright…”
Yu'Er immediately said with a flustered concern, ”No, you are not!”
Mei'Er was carefully tendering to him and she was almost closed to tears!
When the Lord Supreme saw their worried look, he was worried for them; it was because he knew that they were being too emotional and that was bad for their future cultivations!
But Yu'Er and Mei'Er could not care less. They knew Yi Ping as the White Sage in the past and they had fond memories of him as the White Sage and as Yi Ping. They had already lost him once and they were not willing to lose him again!
Yu'Er and Mei'Er were not the only ones that were surrounding Yi Ping and showering him with care; he was also surrounded by Xingyue, Yixian, Lele, the Ascension Goddess Ye Yin, Youxue, Lie Qing, the Goddess Aiel, Han Lin, the Goddess Asura and the Goddess of Mercy Xiang!
When Yi Si had noticed the concerns that were being showered upon her father at this moment, she smiled. ”Father, I don't know if I should envy you or not…”
She managed a wry smile before saying, ”You have to watch your back. It seems that all of them are not easy to handle.”
Han Lin laughed softly, ”You little brat. We won't eat your father up!”
The Goddess Aiel flushed as she protested enthrallingly, ”What is so good about your father?”
But what she was saying was contrary to her actions; she was wiping Yi Ping's sweats with her hankie even as she spoke!
Yixian said gently, ”You must be Yi Si. You are so lovely now. I have remembered holding you in my arms in the past. It seems like that it has happened only yesterday.”
Yi Si was in awe of Yixian because she was not only extremely beautiful but extremely elegance, more beautiful than she had imagined and her peerless beauty was simply out of the world!
Yixian was not the only one with unrivalled beauty. There were the Goddess Celestial Alice, the Goddess Isa, the Goddess Aiel, Lie Qing and the others were all enthralling and alluring in their own mesmerizing ways!
Lele gasped softly as she beamed with pride, ”Sister Xian'Er, I have almost forgotten to introduce you to my daughter!”
Just as Yi Si had thought that her mother would cuddle Yixian and her together, Lele seemed to have forgotten all about her as she began to describe her earlier experiences to Yi Ping, ”Ping'Er, do you know how the harrowing experiences that I have been through? Do you know, do you know…”
She smiled miserably and thought, ”My goodness! My mother has totally forgotten about me…”
Yi Ping coughed weakly and that immediately created a storm of concerns from the group!
He quickly said weakly, ”We need to recuperate first before we continue on my way.”
Everyone was nodding or agreeing, unsure why Yi Ping was saying the obvious to them.
Yi Ping took out the Mystique Core Divine Pills as he grinned at the Lord Supreme and the Immortal Saint of Swords, ”Brother Lord Supreme, Brother Immortal Saint of Swords, please take one…”
The Universal Old Man was stunned by the number of Mystique Core Divine Pills that were with Yi Ping as he stammered, ”How did you get so many…”
Except for those that were with Yi Ping, all the rest of the group was equally stunned!
Even the Sacred Embodied Heavenly Goddess was trembling as she gasped in disbelief, ”Impossible!…”
The Goddess Asura clasped her mouth with her hands, ”Yi Ping!…”
That was because she had owed it to the Mystique Core Divine Pills to attain the mystical Seventh Immortal level Positioning!
The Goddess Isa, the Goddess of Mercy Xiang and the Goddess Aiel were all looking pleadingly at Yi Ping, hoping that he could give them the Mystique Core Divine Pills to advance their Heavenly Eyes to the next level!
Yi Ping grinned at the Immortal Saint of Swords, ”I still remembered that the first time that I have met you. I have no confident of winning…”
The Immortal Saint of Swords stroked his white beard and laughed, ”But now you may not lose to me anymore.”
Yi Ping coughed weakly before he grinned, ”That time you have said how frustrating that you have felt and the countless heavenly tribulations that you are forced to endure without finding a breakthrough to the Gods' Realm. With your present attainment, with the Deific Divine Skill, with this Mystique Core Divine Pill, I am sure you will finally cultivate as an immortal practitioner finally.”
The Immortal Saint of Swords had already queried their adventures from Yunzi and knew how precious this Mystique Core Divine Pill was!
Finally he could become an immortal practitioner!
He was trembling, ”Brother Yi Ping, you are indeed generous. How can I repay you?”
Yi Ping smiled weakly, ”Don't mention it. How about exchanging it for the Blue Heavens Divine Sword?”
Xingyue smiled as she tugged Yi Ping…
The Immortal Saint of Swords smiled, ”I have already lost the Blue Heavens Divine Sword to you and gains Yunzi as my protégé. That is an unfair exchange…”
Yunzi was also smiling. It was because she knew that her protégé master could finally put the loss of the Blue Heavens Divine Sword to rest and that would only help to advance his future cultivation attainment!
The Lord Supreme was sighing, ”I have never expected to be given such a precious pill just like this…”
The Goddess Aiel who had known the Lord Supreme for a long time, ”One Mystique Core Divine Pill can even spark a war in the Immortal Realm. That is how rare and precious it is. Even though I have not reached the Sixth Immortal Positioning, if I have one in my hands I will surely wait till the time that I have reached that level to consume it…”
Han Lin said teasingly, ”Oh mine! Mistress! You are openly hinting Yi Ping to give you a Mystique Core Divine Pill?! You already have so many stuff from Brother Yi Ping already. You are so greedy!”
The Goddess Aiel began to fluster as she quickly protested, ”I am not! I am a Divine Physician and it is in my interest to study it…”
Han Lin said exasperatingly, ”When did you become a Divine Physician?!”
Many of the maidens were secretly looking at the Goddess Aiel in disbelief as they pursed their lips; it was not because they were offended by the Goddess Aiel who had shamelessly hinted to Yi Ping to let her have a Mystique Core Divine Pill but because they were all thinking the same but had not asked due to pride and did not want to be viewed as being greedy by the others.
But the Goddess Aiel did not seem to be bothered as she looked enthrallingly at Yi Ping!
The Goddess Celestial Alice smiled, ”I wonder if it is possible to advance the Seventh Immortal Positioning to the Eighth Immortal Positioning with these Mystique Core Divine Pills?”
Everyone was suddenly gasping at this possibility!
Everyone was thinking; Yi Ping and the Goddess Celestial Alice had not taken the Mystique Core Divine Pills and there may be a chance for them to advance their Seventh Immortal Positioning to the Eighth Immortal Positioning!
The Great Desolate Goddess Nuwa hummed coldly, ”One is surely not enough. Maybe three of the Mystique Core Divine Pills can do it but he will surely die of an overdose first!”
All of a sudden she smiled mysteriously as she flashed the Mystique Core Divine Pill with her fingers!
Everyone was startled that the Great Desolate Goddess Nuwa actually had a Mystique Core Divine Pill too!
The Great Desolate Goddess Nuwa took a sudden look at Yi Ping with a mysterious smile, immediately startling Yi Ping who thought. ”Why is she looking at me like that?”
All of a sudden the Great Desolate Goddess Nuwa popped the Mystique Core Divine Pill into her mouth!
Lele immediately stepped forward to ask Yi Ping, ”Ping'Er, why did you give a Mystique Core Divine Pill to that demoness? Why didn't you…give me any?!”
The Great Desolate Goddess Nuwa was startled by Lele's audacity, ”You call me a demoness?”
But Lele totally ignored her as she flew into Yi Ping's embrace, ”Ping'Er! Say something!”
Yi Ping had turned ashen when Lele had suddenly crashed into him and he felt as though all his joints would give way. He smiled bitterly, ”We have agreed to share the loot together. Lele, I have a Sanctorum Relic for you…”
Not only Lele was stunned, the rest of the group was equally stunned as they gasped out, ”The Sanctorum Relic!”
The Sanctorum Relic had the power to advance the divine weapon into an immortal weapon and unlocked a sanctorum power!
Lele gasped, ”Is it really for me?”
Yi Ping muttered, ”Don't worry, I have three of those…”
