Chapter 41 part 1
There was a special place in the mortal realm; money squandering establishment and burial ground of many beauties. When the outside world was in unrest and people were in a terrible situation, it still remained standing. When the outside world was peaceful and the commoners lived in peace and happiness, it looked splendid and glorious.
Such a special place was the palace of the mortal realm.
According to the legends, the owner of the mortal realm was the proud and beloved son of heaven and was he bestowed the title “Son of Heaven” upon himself and benefited from the world.
At this moment, the beauties in the palace were countless like clouds and celebrated peace with songs and dances.
A middle-aged man adorned in a bright yellow robe with a big belly stared lewdly at the woman who swayed gently on the dance floor. His favorite concubines on his left and right side poured wine for him. They poured again after he drank it and once more.
Among the bamboo trees, all kinds of giggles and applause could be heard continuously.
Truly an obscene and extravagant palace.
“Big brother, are you sure that that person is the leader of the world?” On the beam of the roof where no one paid attention to, a woman’s voice was delicate but her words were sarcastic.
“You don’t believe your big brother?” The man chuckled. His voice was clear.
The woman pursed her lips and said helplessly, “Of course, I believe you. But he has such a big belly. I’m afraid that I will dirty my hands if I take action.”
“Should big brother go do it?”
“Well…” The woman thought for a moment. “Forget it. I will go do it myself.”
While she was speaking, the woman in white seemed to have descended from heaven in the middle of the luxurious and lively hall. She lightly flew to the son of heaven. The son of heaven adorned in a bright yellow robe thought that he had seen a fairy descend from heaven. He looked lecherously at her, opened his arms and planned to hug her. The only thing missing was his drool.
However, the woman hadn’t gotten into his arms yet when he felt a pain in his heart.
He looked down in panic and was shocked to see the five slender fingers inserted into his heart socket. The wrist turned and retrieved that bloody heart of his.
He didn’t even have the time to scream when he went limp and fell onto the ground.
In the brightly lit palace, the sound of bamboo was replaced by the screams of fear. Singers, dancers and the palace guards were in chaos. They shouted, “There is an assassin! Catch the assassin! Save the emperor!”
However, in just a blink of the eye, the woman in white who had descended from heaven disappeared without a trace as if she had never been here. Only the empty heart socket of the man in a bright yellow robe showed what had just happened.
The mortal realm turned chaotic overnight. Rumors were flying outside the mortal realm.
The four realms, demon, devil, immortal and the netherworld received a written war challenge simultaneously, saying that it wants to get the internal core of the leader of each realm. The written war challenge to the immortal realm was particularly arrogant. It said to let them quickly choose a leader, so to make the goal clear and that it would be easier to take action then. The signature on the war challenge with was no exception…Jing Yan.
- Neidan: internal core focuses on the three treasures.
- Essence: a complete essence can preserve the body.
- Energy: a complete energy can nurture the mind
- Soul: a complete soul can recover emptiness.
In response, Qing Feng of the demon realm stroked comfortably the face skin that she had just changed into and said pleased, “Just right timing. I’m also tired of living.”
The devil king of the devil realm had no reaction. The little king of hell of the netherworld, while he used the glowing pearls of the Eastern Sea like marbles, he drove out the judge who was reading the war challenge out loud. “Get out, get out, get out. Don’t disturb me when I’m playing! This king has lived for seventy thousand years. Bother me only when king father falls down from heaven.”
As for the immortal realm, everyone gathered at Cangjia Mountain to discuss how to meet the attack of the enemy as well as to discuss who this “Jing Yan” is.
However, as soon as they reached Cangjia Mountain, everyone couldn’t help but toss this matter to the back of their mind and were distracted by another matter. Great disciple Feng Shu whose soul had been dispersed and scattered a few years ago and who was considered the pillar of Cangjia had been quietly resurrected.
Everyone didn’t know how Feng Shu was resurrected from the death. In the past, Cangjia had mustered large forces to collect the Soul-Locking water and Soul-Suppressing pearls and asked for high-tiered deity Donghua’s help, but still failed. This time, it was really strange that this great disciple returned quietly like this.
Because Cang Yu disappeared at the same time, some people speculated whether it was this Priest Qing Yu who loved his disciple very much, sacrificed himself in exchange for the return of Feng Shu.
At this time, sitting in the Cloud Hall was no longer Cang Yu but Feng Shu who had an indifferent expression and who was of few words.
“Don’t know where Priest Qing Yu is. Could it be that in the future Cangjia Mountain…,” Yu Liuli glanced flabbergasted at Feng Shu and hesitated to continue.
Feng Shu had his eyes closed and was peaceful as if he was in a deep sleep.
Cang Hai who was at a side cupped his hands and said, “Supremo Yu didn’t guess wrong. Feng Shu is senior brother’s great disciple and is the first candidate to be the next supremo. However, a formal worship hadn’t been paid to the ancestors, so, we didn’t make a clear statement to everyone yet.”
“Then, Priest Qing Yu…”
Yu Liuli was still hesitating about how she should ask this without offense, Zhuge Xu at a side already asked aloud, “Could it be that Priest Qing Yu sacrificed himself for his disciple to be resurrected?”
There was a slight anger on Cang Hai’s face. He said in a deep voice, “This matter is Cangjia’s inner matter. Supremo Zhuge asking this question, isn’t it overstepping your bounds?”
Zhuge Xu stroked his long beard and smiled indifferently, “There are really too many “geniuses” at Cangjia. The demon king used to be Cangjia’s disciple and the devil king used to be Cangjia’s disciple’s immortal spirit. I’m really worried that another “genius” would be brought up another day and harms priest Qing Yu. Then, it would truly be the immortal realm’s loss.”
This remark was pointing in the open and suggesting in the dark and also mocking Feng Shu. Although, Feng Shu had disappeared for many years, but his image among Cangjia’s disciples had never declined. At this time, everyone was filled with righteous indignation. It was due to the usual stern discipline that no one came out to strike back.
Feng Shu’s eyebrows moved slightly. he opened his eyes. The black eyes were calm without any ripple. However, such calmness was too much and made people didn’t dare to face him directly.
Being looked at by him (FS), Zhuge Xu was at loss about what to do. He restrained his smiling face.
“Since, we gathered today to discuss Jing Yan who appeared out of thin air, I think that outsiders shouldn’t bother with the inner matters of Cangjia.” The one who spoke was Donghua Mountain’s Hongluan.
Ever since high-tiered deity Donghua left Donghua Mountain for no reason, Donghua didn’t chose another supremo. Perhaps, they were expecting that high-tiered deity Donghua would return one day or perhaps, they haven’t selected the right candidate yet. These past three years, Hongluan with the help of the ten stars of Hongluan had been in charge in the stead of the supremo.
At this moment, the ten women were standing quietly, dressed in white clothes like clouds and faces like flowers. It was undoubtedly a great view in the Cloud Hall.
“Exactly, let us not forget the purpose of today’s gathering.” Yu Liuli was young, but the time she had been a supremo was not short. Moreover, when she spoke, she had always been gently unlike Zhuge Xu who was impetuous and rampant.
When Zhuge Xu saw that both Hongluan and Yu Liuli didn’t want to pursue the matter, it was not good for him to say more. He humphed once and said, “That Jing Yan is very arrogant. Forget it that my immortal realm was a thunder of dragons without a head at the moment. He actually dared to send a war challenge to the netherworld? It is truly a joke! Does he really think that the king of hell is a seven-year-old baby?!”
- Thunder of dragons without head: a group lacking a leader.
“Jing Yan, Jing Yan…” Yu Liuli frowned and muttered these two words. She said, “Hearing this name, my instinct tell me that it’s just a girl.”
Zhuge Xu sneered, “That demon king Qing Feng is also just a girl. She still dominated the demon realm in just a few years. This Jing Yan who had appeared out of thin air better not be some evildoer that had also came from Cangjia Mountain.”
