Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 1798: Where is the Mystery?

Wan and Xiu both cheered and congratulated Master Bai.

Master Bai smiled and said, “Do you believe me now? Meng Wuzhen must have obtained the Heavenly Mystery, and he has unleashed all the power he has to reach the seventh level of the Undead Stage. It is fast, but not fast enough to impress me.

“At least, the Heavenly Mystery he got was less useful than my fortune power.

“There will be a day soon when we can surpass Meng Wuzhen easily.”

Master Bai said with a sneer in his eyes, “So, Meng Wuzhen doesn’t mean a thing, does he? Even though he got the Heavenly Mystery, he is still no match for me!”

Wan and Xiu were both shocked.

‘Master is right. If we can improve this fast, Meng Wuzhen isn’t really so powerful, is he?’

‘The Heavenly Mystery seems to be less useful than we thought.’

Xiu’er thought for a while and said, “In fact, if we found the Heavenly Mystery instead...”

It was just an assumption, but it brought Master Bai into deep thought. It seemed like he was enlightened.

“Hmm... If I got the Heavenly Mystery, supported by the fortune power, the spiritual qi from the souls of billions, and the power of my accumulation... I would be able to reach the Infinity Stage... In fact, I probably will reach the position of my father and stand at the peak of the world!”

Wan and Xiu were shocked.

‘The Heavenly Mystery can actually help Master reach the position of the East Sky King!’

‘That is horrible!’

“However, it doesn’t feel right...” Master Bai frowned. “When I did the destiny test... It told me the Heavenly Mystery should be much more powerful... I should be able to reach the top of the Infinity Stage if I have the Heavenly Mystery... Why?”

He thought for a while and then suddenly stood up. He said, “Was my calculations wrong? Maybe Meng Wuzhen didn’t get the Heavenly Mystery that we were chasing after! The Heavenly Mystery fell down after we shook the stars with the power of blood! Did Meng Wuzhen get another piece of Heavenly Mystery? I thought he got it, so I gave up! Whatever Meng Wuzhen has obtained, it is not what I have been chasing after!”

Master Bai’s handsome face looked pale.

Wan and Xiu were both shocked. They stared at Master Bai and didn’t know what to say.

Master Bai stood up. He paced around and murmured to himself. After a long while, he stopped to look at the sky. He then lowered his head and got lost in his thoughts again.

“That’s right... No, that’s wrong!”

Master Bai was deep in his thoughts.

“Yes... I missed something... Something important. We left the Human Realm Upon Heavens for tens of thousands of years!”

Master Bai clapped his own head.

He had thought of every detail but still failed to notice something that should be easy to find. He made a mistake! His heart started beating heavily as he thought of the mistake now.

His heart was beating so hard that he felt like it stopped.

After a while, he made a bitter smile.

“Meng Wuzhen spent ten thousand years, even less, to reach the seventh level of the Undead Stage. However, we didn’t spend thousands of years to shake the stars and make the Heavenly Mystery fall. Whatever Meng Wuzhen found, it wasn’t what we wanted...

“It was so obvious!

“It was just so simple!”

Master Bai regretted it so much.

“But... Why? Why did the signal stop? The Heavenly Mystery was still there! It should be there!

“That’s right... We have collapsed the world nine times. We have stirred up the chaotic storms and got billions of people killed... All those spiritual qi and spiritual energy... If I got the Heavenly Mystery, with my restrained power, supported by the fortune power... I will rise to the top of the Infinity Stage!

“I deceived the Heavenly Dao and got the incredible power from the rise and fall, life and death, from the death of billions of lives... I did everything for the Heavenly Dao... Yet what I eventually got was only half of what I was after...

“The other half, the Heavenly Mystery that I wanted, where is it? Who found it?”

Master Bai slowly paced around.

“Could it be...” He suddenly started shaking. His eyes lit up in glittering lights, looking through the window to the distance.

Wan and Xiu were both shocked.

‘Master is looking at the Limitless Ocean!’

...

Master Bai spent the whole night thinking about it.

“The Hall of Returning Nature is fighting the Monarch’s Hall. Will it destroy the Monarch’s Hall? Perhaps, I should wait for the result of this battle. Is he the destined opponent in my life? I guess I won’t know the answer unless this battle is finished!”

Master Bai’s eyes were bloodshot, which was rare. His bloodshot eyes meant something was going to happen.

After that, he didn’t say anything more. Silence filled the room for a long time.

...

In the Hall of Life and Death, Limitless Ocean.

Ye Xiao was cultivating, trying to improve. Suddenly, he shivered...

“Atishoo! Atishoo!” He sneezed twice.

He rubbed his nose and murmured, “Who is cursing me?”

Apparently, he had killed more men than he saved, so he believed somebody must be cursing him!

His mindset had already improved and continued cultivating wouldn’t be efficient at the moment, so he stood up and looked out the window. Outside the window, it was snowing, as if the world, the entire universe had turned snowy white.

The ground was silver-white.

It felt like feathers were falling in the sky and piling up on the floor, blocking the view.

Ye Xiao walked out the door and looked at the snow. He felt like he was in a dream, so he said, “Oh, it is snowing...”

His mind was with the Sky Ice Palace.

The Sky Ice Palace in the Qing-Yun Realm.

The Sky Ice Palace was always snowy all year round.

There was a lady in white clothes, who loved him so deeply.

Jun Yinglian.

“Lian Lian, where are you now?”

Snow dropped on his face, and he felt the cold, but he felt softness and love from the chill.
