Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 1452: Those Ascending Had Gone

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ye Xiao laughed loudly, “I will wait for you!”

All of a sudden, his body became a light flow in seven colors.

It was like a long rainbow connecting the sky and the earth, rushing up to the highest sky upon the clouds.

In the Chongxiao Hall, which was named after Ye Chongxiao in memory of the ascended disciple of the Cold Moon Palace, became a sacred place for the Cold Moon Palace. Only the prime master and the great elders could get access to it, so it became a mysterious place in the story of the Cold Moon Palace in the end!

Everybody saw Ye Xiao disappear. When he disappeared as a colorful light flow, somebody started to call him loudly among the crowd. “Xiao Xiao!”

Yue Gongxue was full of tears, staring at the sky where there was no sign of Ye Xiao. She was shaking, and she felt like her heart was empty, that her heart was incomplete.

Ye Nantian was also watching the sky with deep emotion. He held his wife tight with his right arm, which seemed to give her strength and consoled her.

However, he himself couldn’t stop the tears either. He just closed both eyes, and then tears ran out of the eyelids.

At this moment, all of a sudden, Yue Gongxue moaned in pain. Her face suddenly turned pale, and she said in a panic, “I... What is happening? Am I... Am I going to give birth now?”

Ye Nantian was frightened, and he held Yue Gongxue up in his arms in haste, ran into the main hall of the Cold Moon Palace immediately.

Lei Dadi and the others didn’t dare to neglect the couple, so they started to make arrangements immediately. The Cold Moon Palace never forbade their disciple to get married and have children, so they did have somebody who was good at midwifery.

After a while, the sound of a child crying spread in the hall...

“It is a boy.” A female disciple of the Cold Moon Palace who did midwifery for Yue Gongxue ran out to tell everybody the news.

Yue Gongxue had given birth to a boy, and the mother and son were both safe.

Yue Gongxue seemed to be exhausted, but she couldn’t move away from her sight from the baby in her arms. Her eyes were full of love and tenderness.

“Let’s give him a name.” Yue Gongxue said.

Ye Nantian was solemn.

Thinking about names, he thought of Ye Xiao. There was a pain in his heart all of a sudden. As he looked at the innocent face of the baby, Ye Nantian said with a bitter voice, “Let’s call him... Ye Chengen.”

Yue Gongxue stayed silent for a while when she heard the name. It seemed she was upset for something. After a long sigh, she said, “Chengen... Remember the great favor... It is a good name... Chengen it is then.”

“I hope he will never forget his big brother.”

Yue Gongxue said.

In her eyes, there was regret. Tears suddenly ran down from her eyes and she said, “I am regretful. I regret. Why did we hesitate... Why would we do that... He is our son. What is the difference anyway? What is the difference? Why didn’t I go and hug him tight... Why...?”

Ye Nantian made a long sad sigh.

Outside the room, Lei Dadi and the others all heard what she said, and they all made a long sigh in sadness.

Lei Dadi and the other powerful men in the Cold Moon Palace didn’t know what had happened to Ye Xiao before to bring him back to life, but they knew that Ye Xiao’s soul had occupied Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue’s son’s body. The Xiao Monarch lived on in the body of another person. There were two ways of doing it—one was occupying a living man’s body, while the other was occupying the body of a dead man. For people beyond the Dao Origin Stage, it wasn’t any difficult technique. In fact, any Dao Origin Stage cultivators could do it to save one’s life when they had to!

Ye Xiao had returned to live in the body of Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue’s son, and the couple knew the Xiao Monarch before. The delicate relationship between Ye Xiao and the couple was the most incomprehensible thing in the Qing-Yun Realm...

Now that Ye Xiao had ascended. He had left the Qing-Yun Realm for the Human Realm Upon Heavens now.

Things about him and his second life parents might be regrettable, but it was over. It had come to the end after all...

Perhaps, Ye Xiao would come back to this world someday. When he returned, nobody could guarantee that the Qing-Yun Realm would still be the same Qing-Yun Realm!

The Mountain of All Medicines was gone when Ye Xiao ascended. It disappeared, but in fact, it was the shadow of the mountain who disappeared. The shadow just faded away when Ye Xiao left.

A legend was left to the world.

Laughing out loud at all the heroes under the firmament, he was the monarch of the universe!

The Xiao Monarch!

“I hope the world beyond us won’t be too cold for me to live in!” It meant that the Xiao Monarch didn’t want to be alone. He was waiting, waiting for the people in the Land of Han-Yang to ascend and join him.

It was the wishful thought of the Monarch.

...

Three days after that, the prime elder, the great elder Xuan Bing had ascended to the Human Realm Upon Heavens inside the Misty Cloud Palace.

On the same day, the former prime master of the Sky Ice Palace, Jun Yinglian ascended to the Human Realm Upon Heavens as well.

In three days, three superior cultivators ascended to the upper realm. The three people’s ascending had become a legendary story which boiled the entire Qing-Yun Realm in fever.

People all went to the Cold Moon Palace to see where Ye Xiao used to live. On the main mountain of the Cold Moon Palace, there was something who looks just like a huge token.

It was the Monarch Token!

“Those who died in the war against the demons gets double compensation for their families. We take good care of their younger generation. The heroes died, and we can’t let them down.”

“My wealth in my life is all here. The Cold Moon Palace should charge of it.”

“The children of the heroes should never be offended in the Qing-Yun Realm. Whoever dares to bully them will get punished by all men in the world.”

“If the children of the heroes become evil, we punish them together.”

“I wish the Qing-Yun Realm a glorious and wonderful future. I hope that the demons will never appear in the world again. I hope all the parents in the world can live in peace and happiness. I wish the world peace and love. I hope all of you, my friends, can live a wealthy and lovely life.”

“-Ye Xiao.”

People read Ye Xiao’s message and looked at the Monarch Token, and the warm tears would fill their eyes.

The Xiao Monarch!

“...”

In fact, not only the Xiao Monarch but also Xuan Bing of the Misty Cloud Palace, Jun Yinglian of the Sky Ice Palace, all left similar messages to the world when they left.

All the sects and all the itinerant cultivators were inspired by these three.

Fifteen days after, Han Bingxue ascended on the top of the Ice Mountain, and he was another legend in the world.

One month after, in the Ice Cloud Palace, Li Wuliang and Xue Danru both ascended at the same time, and it became a romantic story of two legendary people.

One and half a month after, Yue Shuang and Yue Han of the Qiong-Hua Palace ascended to follow their brother.

Three months after, the Misty Cloud Palace had their second legendary cultivator—Wenren Chuchu ascended to the Human Realm Upon Heavens.

One year after, Ning Biluo ascended. One and a half year after, Zhao Pingtian ascended to the Human Realm Upon Heavens. One month after Zhao Pingtian, Liu Changtian ascended!

The unprecedented feat of ascending in tens of thousands of years in the Qing-Yun Realm history was finished. The great ascending happened right after the demons were all wiped out.

However, after doing some research, the cultivators in the Qing-Yun Realm was shocked to find that all the people who ascended were connected to Ye Xiao!

Li Wuliang and Han Bingxue were Ye Xiao’s sworn brothers.

Jun Yinglian was Ye Xiao’s wife. Yue Shuang and Yue Han were Ye Xiao’s sworn sisters. Ning Biluo, Zhao Pingtian, and Liu Changjun were Ye Xiao’s most loyal followers, who had followed Ye Xiao from the Land of Han-Yang to the Qing-Yun Realm.

Xue Danru used to be the third most powerful cultivator in the Qing-Yun Realm, but she got the chance to ascend only because she chose to marry Ye Xiao’s sworn brother... People had been guessing, and they were quite close to the truth.

Wenren Chuchu was the lady who chased Ye Xiao on her own initiative, and she knew Ye Xiao long before they ascended to the Qing-Yun Realm. The ambiguous relationship between these two was... Hmmm... It must be something special.

Xuan Bing...

Ahem...

Xuan Bing was Bing’er. It was no longer a secret in the Qing-Yun Realm now.

There was only one reason why the secret would be revealed. Xuan bing exposed herself to the world!

“Ye Xiao is my man.” Xuan Bing left these words before she was gone.

Before that, she had written a short autobiography, which ended by some few lines...

“I don’t regret!”

“It is worthwhile!”

That had triggered a bomb among the cultivators in the Qing-Yun Realm. People started to discuss it everywhere and every time. Some people were jealous of her, but some just despised her.

“You are such a great cultivator, yet you actually be a humble maid of somebody else... You are actually enjoying it. You should be ashamed, yet you feel proud...”

For the ladies in the Qing-Yun Realm, they were all one hundred percent jealous of Xuan Bing.

“That is so romantic... That is so romantic... It is the pure love that only exists in love stories. I want to have a love story of my own just like that...”

A young man saved a wonderful lady who used to be high in the sky. The lady lost her memory and the young man took care of her thoughtfully...

Finally, it became a romantic story of a man and a woman.

The man and wife loved each other deeply, and they both ascended to the upper realm together.

That was a legendary story that obsessed all the women in the world.

It was unbearably romantic.

The lady gave up her high-bred identity, only wanted to stay on the young man’s side. She gave up everything for him...

Wasn’t it a perfect example of a perfect romantic story?

Xiao Monarch’s story somehow became a bit peachy now.

The stories about the Xiao Monarch had been told in the Qing-Yun Realm for a long time afterwards.

People all wanted to see the superhero who saved the Qing-Yun Realm from the demons, but the Xiao Monarch, Ye Xiao, had never shown himself in the Qing-Yun Realm ever after...

...

Volume three.

Rule the firmament.

Stars, the sun, and the moon were running in his hand, where the firmament was held inside beyond heavens!

...

When he ascended to the Qing-Yun Realm, he stayed in the faint for a short time before he realized he was in a completely new world!

Now Ye Xiao was wandering around some rocks. He didn’t understand why he would come to such a place after leaving the Qing-Yun Realm!

Did he use up his good luck in his previous experience?

This place was obviously a deserted land. He stood on a hill which seemed to be the highest point in this place, and he looked far away. Within hundreds of miles, there was no cooking smoke.

The Human Realm Upon Heavens was known as the world of god and goddess, yet the first impression Ye Xiao had about this world was a deserted land with nothing but rocks.

Of course, materially speaking this place was deserted because there were only rocks, but even a deserted land had denser spiritual qi in the air than the Qing-Yun Realm. The Qing-Yun Realm just couldn’t compare to this world. Where Ye Xiao was standing had ten times denser spiritual qi than the Qing-Yun Realm.

If Ye Xiao didn’t see this place with his own eyes, but only to sense the energy flows in this place, he would be shocked about this place. He would definitely not be disappointed by the real Human Realm Upon Heavens, because it was such a world full of spiritual power! How significant!

However, except the fact that it had a great amount of spiritual energy... there seemed to be nothing good about this place!

– Puff! –

Ye Xiao felt annoyed, so he casually kicked a small rock on the ground near his feet. The small rock rolled away, and Ye Xiao felt the sore pain on his toes.

It felt like he had kicked an unbelievably small but heavy iron ball which weighed at least millions of pounds. Ye Xiao was surely powerful enough to move a million pounds of heavy iron ball, but to kick an iron ball that weighed millions of pounds was not quite the same thing. Kicking would move the ball away further but only hurt his toes more.

“What is it? How come such a small piece of rock could hurt me this bad?” Ye Xiao gritted his teeth and picked up the small piece of rock.

In the Qing-Yun Realm, he was a superhero who could easily move a mountain to fill an ocean. How come kicking a piece of small rock here actually hurt him so much?

Was the rock actually something valuable? How come it could weigh millions of pounds like an incredible iron ball?

Ye Xiao grabbed the rock in the hand and checked it again and again, but he couldn’t find anything special about it. It weighed just the weight of a piece of normal rock. It didn’t seem to be heavy at all in his hand. However, as he tried to clench the rock in his hand, he only felt his hand in pain and the rock was completely unharmed. The small rock was definitely harder than normal special steels. Ye Xiao was so powerful that he could easily leave a mark of fingers on any normal special steels. However, he just couldn’t do anything to the rock. What a surprise!

He carefully put the small rock away inside his pocket and thought, “I am lucky, am I not? Just when I set my foot on the land of this world, I got myself a treasure. The rock that I can’t break must be something valuable!”

However, after a while, he was utterly disappointed.

If that small piece of rock was a treasure, this wasted land was full of treasures. All the rocks in this place were unbreakable for him!

Of course, he wouldn’t lie to himself, would he? He threw away the small rock and smiled bitterly. “How blind I am! This is not the Qing-Yun Realm anymore. Even though it looks like a rock, it must be much harder than the rocks in the Qing-Yun Realm. This place was such a deserted land, yet the spiritual qi in the air was ten times denser than the Qing-Yun Realm. How surprising could it be to find the rock being harder than the rocks I know in the Qing-Yun Realm...”

‘Fine. Forget it. The first thing I need to do is to find out where I am. What is this place?’

‘This is different from the story they tell. Everybody knows that when a cultivator ascends to the Human Realm Upon Heavens, angels would appear to greet him and tell him everything he needs to know...’

‘Somebody should welcome me here...’

‘I don’t see any angels here. How come?’

‘I guess the story is fake. It is a lie...’ Ye Xiao helplessly shook his head and then started to wander around. After that... His tummy was grumbling. Well, he was hungry.

The Xiao Monarch, when he was in his previous life, was known as a great man. However, he was actually just an itinerant cultivator after all, who was savage sometimes. The Xiao Monarch wolfed down when he ate things and guzzled when he drank. After he became the young lord Ye Xiao, he started to care about his manners and knew much more about delicacy in choice of food. In both lives, the Xiao Monarch or the young lord, he had never been hungry!

However, he was starving at this moment. As a cultivator, he actually felt hunger!

Cultivators were people after all. People needed an energy supplement. Powerful cultivators could refill the energy for the body by using spiritual power. Even those people who had been guarding the Demonic Flame Altars had been self-supplying with their spiritual power!

That was why Ye Xiao was confused. He should be too powerful to feel hungry because he had been at a perfect cultivating state. How come he felt hungry all of a sudden?

It actually had a simple answer for the question. The environment had changed. Ye Xiao’s level ranking was lower in this new environment. He might no longer be in a perfect cultivating state in this world!

What was this place?

It was the Human Realm Upon Heavens!

What was the Human Realm Upon Heavens?

It was the highest realm that the people in the Qing-Yun Realm had ever known!

A perfected cultivator in the Qing-Yun Realm was merely a beginner in cultivation in this new world!

How could a beginner in cultivation be any close to perfection? He was not even good! In fact, he didn’t even know twenty percent of the true power of this world. He was merely somebody began to learn a martial art in this world!

Since he was this weak, it was reasonable that he felt hungry!

There was another reason why he would feel hungry. He had been walking in this place for three full days. During the three days, he hadn’t seen any living people. Three days, he had to be hungry... It was reasonable...

However, hunger was an easy problem for Ye Xiao. He had a lot of treasures, valuable plants with fruits and flowers in the Boundless Space, so it was easy for him to get some food. Before ascending, he had already forced Erhuo to make a hundred beads of Anti-starvation Dan. Ate one dan bead and he wouldn’t feel hungry! Each dan bead lasted for a long time!

It was brutal to make Erhuo produce so many Anti-starvation Dan beads, and he actually forced Erhuo to make them all at the supreme level. It was even more brutal! Ye Xiao was unbelievably extravagant at the moment!

However, Ye Xiao didn’t care about it. Now that he had something to solve the hunger, he didn’t seem to worry about it. There was a solution, then it was not a problem. Ye Xiao had one question in his heart that had been torturing him.

‘Where is this place? To what force does this place belong to?’

‘How many forces are there in the martial world of the Human Realm Upon Heavens?’

‘Who is responsible for these forces?’

‘What should I pay special attention to? What opportunity do I have?’

These questions were important. He was now just a small shrimp in the world, which would not easily grow stronger any time soon. If he offended somebody powerful by accident, he might get himself killed!

Ye Xiao was muddle-headed. Was he going to find out everything all by himself?

‘Oh heavens... Just let the thunder strike on me and kill me!’

When Ye Xiao was lost in thoughts, somewhere strange, there were two people looking for somebody they wanted to find for a long time. The two people were in shock.

Well, they were not Jun Yinglian and Xuan Bing. That was for sure. They weren’t even women. They were two men!

The two of them were exactly looking for Ye Xiao, and they cared for Ye Xiao more than many people in the world!

It was a big gate. On the other side of the gate, it was a special pond that was full of white fog.

The pond was incredible. It was the traditional washing pond in this world.

Whoever had just ascended to the Human Realm Upon Heavens from the lower realm should always come to this place to wash the dust away. Only after getting through the ablution in the washing pond, one could finally be a member of the Human Realm Upon Heavens, which was known as god.

Moreover, there were angels who would greet the people from the lower realm. The story was real. They would introduce a lot of things in the Human Realm Upon Heavens to the people who were new to this world. They would tell the cultivator everything about this world except those that were classified. They had answers to all questions.

In the end, the cultivators could get some money from the two angels, to support them on surviving the new world. At least they wouldn’t be starved for the days to come.

At this moment, the two angels were confused.

“Where is the man?”

“Where is the man who has just ascended?”

“Didn’t somebody just arrive? We felt the qi of life. It shook the divine bell. Why can’t we see anyone?”

“How is this possible? Did the man think that he is powerful as usual? Is that why he ran wild and go missing?”

“Damn it... Where is the man?”

“He can’t just run away without registering! This is a big deal!”

“Holy f*ck...”

The two angels were both muddleheaded. “Oh heavens... Oh hell... If anything happens to you, it is your own fault. You ran away... But... It will be our problem if we fail to pick you up. They will deduct my bonuses for the next one thousand years...”

“That is big money! Do you think it is easy to feed an entire family?”

“What a bastard! Which realm did he come from? He is hurting people now!”

The two angels seemed to be sad and annoyed. They both gritted their teeth and said one word through their clenched teeth, “Search!”

“Let’s go find him quickly!”

“If we can’t find him, we are going to eat sh*t for the next thousand years!”

“The unruly bastard! How could he just wander away? When I find him, I am going to...”

“Stop talking tough now. I am not sure if we can find him, to be honest. Gosh... I have no idea people from the lower realm could be this stupid and weird. Didn’t anybody in his sect tells him anything about here?”

“Sigh... Stop the pointless complaint now... Let’s go get him.”

“Damn it... Hmmm... That bastard actually doesn’t leave any trace behind. Not even some qi... What do we do? This is more difficult than finding a needle in the bottom of the ocean...”

The two angels walked away in two directions, both with a bitter face. They were searching so carefully...

Three days after...

The two of them returned to their place. “Did you find him?”

“No, not really... Did you?”

“No... I did not...”

“We are screwed!”

“We are going to be f*cked. That bastard got us into really big trouble. Bonus money of one thousand years...”

“The divine bell is ringing. Somebody else arrived... Losing one thousand years of bonus money is difficult, but we can still live on. If we miss one more, I guess we should just hang ourselves on the roof...” One of the angels was sobbing.

“I wonder who it is this time. Please, don’t wander away...”

“Come on. Do not scare yourself. Let’s go get the person now. Pick this one up and then we go for the former one... Perhaps, we can still find him... Damn it! What a weirdo!”

The two angels were upset and both of them had freaked out, but they still had to go for the second person who arrived.
