The Ancient Realm Goddess
Qing Yexuan's

“Jingtian, by the way about that demon lord, I want to know how the story is,” Qing Yue'er said. He looked at the man beside him seriously.

Mo Jingtian sighed. Then he started saying, “The demon king lost in the past battles. The Heavenly Court caught him and imprisoned him somewhere. To this day, no one knows where he is. However, it seemed like Baili Linwu already knew some things.”

“What might he know? About my dad knowing where the key is?”

Mo Jingtian nodded. “I doubt your father would tell Baili Linwu the truth. So that fan is the only way. I don't know why your father kept it there. Actually it's a good thing too.”

Qing Yue'er nodded in agreement. Although in the end Sheng Feng's fan would become a grabbing material. Then he was still curious about his father. So he asked, “Does my father have a special relationship with the old Heavenly Court Master? Why can my father be trusted to keep this secret?”

Mo Jingtian shook his head. Honestly, he doesn't know about this either. He did not know the old Heavenly Court Master very well because their lifespan was quite far. After all when he was raised to a god, the person in power had already changed to Baili Linwu.

“I don't know,” reply Mo Jingtian.

Then Qing Yue'er asked again. “Then, I want to know as well, does Baili Linwu already know your real identity? Does he know that you are the Son of Heaven?”

“Before he didn't know. She only knew if I was Mo Jingtian, a person who often defied and challenged her.”

Qing Yue'er finally understood. “He is the Lord of the Heavenly Court, definitely has a stronger power than other gods,” Qing Yue'er said. “Did he punish you too?”

Mo Jingtian chuckled. “He used his power to punish me. The sky is sometimes blind. Even though I am the Son of Heaven sometimes my bond with the Heavenly Court makes me still able to get a punishment from the Heavenly Court Master.”

“So is this one of the reasons why you want to give up your deity status?” qing Yue'er asked.

“It's true.” Mo Jingtian nodded. He just wanted enough to be the Son of Heaven. He did not want to be bound by the Heavenly Court. However, he did not quite understand the true course of his destiny. Sometimes he felt as if he did not have his own life.

“How about me?” Qing Yue'er asked.

“You will become a goddess if Baili Linwu is removed,” Mo Jingtian said confidently.

“What time is it still far? Or is it close?”

“The most important thing is to rise to the silver spirit level. For other matters, you don't have to think about it,” Mo Jingtian replied.

Finally Qing Yue'er nodded. He stopped talking about it. “Where will we go?”

“Where do you want to go?” Mo Jingtian asked back. It seemed like she was in no hurry and wanted to relax for a while with Qing Yue'er.

“You ask like that, does this mean you will grant me anything I want?” qing Yue'er asked, then Mo Jingtian nodded. Qing Yue'er immediately smiled happily. “Let's go to market!”

Mo Jingtian was surprised by the invitation. “In Celestial there can't be a market,” murmured who felt a little confused.

“No?”

“Jade market,” said Mo Jingtian who was immediately reciprocated with Qing Yue'er's weirdness. Celestials are a place for great cultivators. It will be difficult to find a market. So far it seemed like only the jade market Qing Yue'er had encountered.

“Do you want to visit your friends in the lower realms?”

Qing Yue'er directly looked at Mo Jingtian with widened eyes. She never thought Mo Jingtian would offer this kind of thing. He felt tempted, but his common sense refused. He can't. For now he had to think of something more important.

“Jingtian, let's go destroy the demons,” Qing Yue'er said in the end.

Mo Jingtian smiled. “Good.” Then he wrapped his hands around Qing Yue'er's waist and tightened them. His flying speed increased by several times.

Meanwhile a stir happened in the Heavenly Court. Today Baili Linwu had already heard about the demon army in the Sea of Blood Bone being slaughtered all over. As Di Feng Xuan had expected, his master would definitely be enraged.

Baili Linwu looked at the bitch. “Why did this happen too?! Didn't you guys help provide security in their environment?!”

“Master, where demons spread so we don't know where exactly.”

“Omong empty! How high are your powers? And find them what's that hard?!” Baili Linwu glared at Di Feng Xuan.

Then someone else started talking. “Master, we can do that later. But we also have to find out who did.” The one speaking was a woman wearing green clothes. She looks pretty.

Baili Linwu let out a rough breath. Then he rubbed his head a few times. Ever since those portals were destroyed, he felt that there were a lot of problems that started to arrive without end.

“Have you guys seen Mo Jingtian?” ask Baili Linwu.

They shook their heads and replied, “No. That guy has long since disappeared.”

“I suspect him a little.” Baili Linwu stared into the distance. She knew what Mo Jingtian was like, however the man never looked at her with respect and how the man did anything without her consent. Very different from other gods.

“It ... seems unlikely.” The green-clothed woman rejected her master's thought. She had never seen Mo Jingtian appear and however she thought about it, it seemed a little impossible.

“Master, I'm more suspicious of the Son of Heaven. Is this maybe his doing?” Di Feng Xuan opened her voice and conveyed her idea. He had recently been thinking about the Son of Heaven. He felt a little restless until the Son of Heaven appeared.

Baili Linwu thought of this, then nodded in agreement. “You're right. The Son of Heaven .. has there been no news of it yet?”

“Nothing,” replied At Feng Xuan.

Baili Linwu snorted coldly. “Truly no one is competent! Do I have to intervene myself?!”

At that moment suddenly someone knocked on the door a few times. Baili Linwu left the door open and another man walked in. He immediately bowed respectfully. “Do you want to convey something?” ask Baili Linwu.

The man nodded. He held out a letter and handed it to his master. Baili Linwu immediately received the letter, then read it without delay. A few moments later, his face turned dark.

“The portal, the culprit has been found,” said Baili Linwu coldly.

“It was the Son of Heaven!” Baili Linwu squeezed the letter in his hand until it was crushed into powder. He clearly looks very angry. The gods who were there could only look down timidly.

‘He really showed up. He really lives.’ That's how they mind. Rumors of the Son of Heaven they had heard a lot. It might be able to come and mess up the Heavenly Court. Or take power here.

Although they felt curious, but no one dared to ask further. They would not bother their angry master or they would receive a severe punishment.

“At Feng Xuan, what about Qing Yexuan? Did he say anything?”

Di Feng Xuan felt trembling when she received this question. She timidly shook her head and the result made her master even more furious. He did not dare to raise his head. Suddenly a huge force hit his chest making him flung backwards.

“Master, forgive me!” Di Feng Xuan tried to beg and kowtow on the floor.

Those who saw this incident just looked down silently. Secretly feeling sorry for Di Feng Xuan. The man always tries to do his best, but luck never takes sides.

Baili Linwu snorted. “I thought you couldn't, but you insisted on being able!” He stared at Di Feng Xuan displeased. “Take me there! Let me interrogate him directly!”

Di Feng Xuan immediately nodded and invited his master. After that, he followed her from behind. They left the room and walked down the corridor.

Currently Di Liying was looking at Di Feng Xuan and the Heavenly Court Master who were moving somehow in which direction. Then he accidentally saw Di Feng Xi who was moving not far behind them.

‘What Di Feng Xi is following master?’ thought Di Liying. He shook his head and immediately left. That's not his business at all.

Meanwhile, Di Feng Xi moved a little further away from Baili Linwu and Di Feng Xuan. He really felt that something was stored away without his knowledge. Is this a hunch or what?

Di Feng Xi hid his existence as best as he could. This was the first time he had tried to investigate a god in the Heavenly Court, let alone his own master. However, he wanted to prove everything so that there were no prejudices or bad things.

The two people took a step turn into the left corridor. Then after a while, they opened the tightly shut door. Di Feng Xi had heard if it was a room used to store various things for the rapture of gods.

Di Feng Xi had never entered it. He was indeed a relatively new god and did not have much experience in the Heavenly Court.

Baili Linwu might still feel angry so he did not pay attention to the situation. He did not know that Di Feng Xi was watching him from afar. He and Di Feng Xuan walked into the room.

Inside the room were several things for the worship ritual, it was indeed a room to store things about the ascension ceremony of the gods. But there is something hidden there.

Baili Linwu shifted one of the statues and displayed a mirror as tall as a human size. Without lingering for long he immediately stepped into the mirror. The mirror was completely impenetrable without any damage.

At Feng Xuan did the same. He followed his master into the mirror. His right leg pierced through the mirror and drove him to a different room.

The room was dark and stuffy. There were many shabby and smelly iron bars. Lots of blood on the wall. It was really the very side opposite of the extremely bright Heavenly Court. If others did not enter through that door, perhaps no one would believe that the room was indeed within the Heavenly Court's celestial palace.

Di Feng Xi felt his heart beating rapidly. It had been a long time since he had felt this kind of feeling. He immediately entered the room carefully. Now he arrived in front of the mirror. “Should he be in now?”

After a while, Di Feng Xi raised his right leg intending to enter. However, his foot was just smashing into a mirror. He widened his eyes in disbelief. Turns out he couldn't get in. What room is that? Di Feng Xi was filled with conjectures that had no end.

“I'll meet At Moxie,” murmured At Feng Xi. It was better for him to tell this matter to the Water God. He knew that Di Moxie was close enough to Mo Jingtian.

Meanwhile, Baili Linwu moved past the iron bars. There was no one else there until he finally arrived at the last bar. A man sat cross-legged quietly. His appearance doesn't look okay. There were many scars on his body and clothes.

Both his legs and hands were fitted with large shackles. It was a special shackle that could bind one's strength. The man was put in such shackles and certainly does not currently have the strength of a god.

Baili Linwu stared intently. “Qing Yexuan! I came and you didn't pay the slightest respects?!”

The man called Qing Yexuan did not move, not even opening her eyes. His breathing sounded very regular. He was not sleeping, but was meditating to maintain calm during his stay there.

Being ignored, Baili Linwu felt even more enraged. He clenched his hands and quickly hit Qing Yexuan's head. Only then did Qing Yexuan open her eyes. He looked at Baili Linwu calmly.

“Why should I respect someone like you?”

“Looks like you're really pouncing for death!”

“Kill me if you want,” reply Qing Yexuan without feeling angry. He just stared in disdain at Baili Linwu. Who that person is, he already knows.

“Do not hope!” Baili Linwu snorted coldly. Then he gripped Qing Yexuan's chin tightly. “Say where the key is?!”

Qing Yexuan smiled faintly instead of being scared or intimidated. “Baili Linwu, if you want something then try to find it. I don't know, free to ask me.”

Baili Linwu became even more furious. He gritted his teeth and took the iron rod that was there. “Looks like you should feel how my hands are torturing.”

After that all that was heard there was only the sound of punches and punches. At Feng Xuan who saw this could only gulp. His master was truly merciless, even to a god it remained that way.

“Say or not?!” Baili Linwu again exclaimed.

“No will.”

“Do you want me to bring your wife and children here?!” Baili Linwu grinned. This method is usually enough to scare the prisoner. However, unfortunately Qing Yexuan remained firm on her stance. That was beyond Baili Linwu's estimation.

“Do it if you can,” said Qing Yexuan. He smiled again and made Baili Linwu even more furious.

“You really ...” Baili Linwu felt his body become trembling with anger. He slammed the iron stick in his hand violently. It seemed like he had to think of another way to give Qing Yexuan a warning.

Di Feng Xuan who saw this could only duck. Even his master could not make Qing Yexuan spit out an answer. What way does it take for the man to open a secret?

Happy New Year everyone!

What is the 2021 resolution?
