The Ancient Realm Goddess
The Shi
In a distant place, Mo Jingtian closed his eyes in a white pevillion. His head was supported with his right hand. He looks like he's sleeping.
Di Fengxi behind him let out a long sigh. “Is this Di Shi playing us? Why is he not out yet?”
“Why are you so anxious?” Mo Jingtian replied casually.
“Teacher, we've been waiting a few days. In addition, tomorrow night the banquet at Guang Palace will be held. We can't be late coming there, right?”
“Hmm …. We're not gonna be late. Just hang. Give Di Shi time to resolve the issue.”
Di Fengxi became riled up. The pevillionaire confidant said that Di Shi asked them to wait for a while. Who knew some of the moments in question were days?
“What problem is Di Shi going through that he put off for so long? Does Master know?”
Mo Jingtian did not reply. His two golden eyes suddenly opened. “Dia come.”
The sound of footsteps rang out from the depths of the pavilion. A silver-robed man walked out. His face was firm with his sword-like brows. There was a scar on her cheek that made her look even more ferocious.
The man looked at Mo Jingtian and Di Fengxi in turn. Finally he bowed to Mo Jingtian who was sitting in the guest chair. “Sorry to have made Di Futian wait a long time.”
Mo Jingtian waved his hand. “I didn't expect a Di Shi could get hurt like this.”
The last time Di Shi came out was at a mutiny battle conducted by several castles in the Celestials. It was a hundred thousand years ago when the number of palaces was not just five, but nine.
The battle was quite big. The four palaces advanced together, demanding the gods to show more affection to them. It was the stupidest battle that even Mo Jingtian was unwilling to intervene in.
In the end Di Shi and several other war gods became enraged. They leveled the four palaces mercilessly. Who knows, however, that the man was seriously injured..
Di Shi sighed. “In Futian, do you know? In recent years I have only understood why such a battle can explode.”
Next to Mo Jingtian's eyebrows shot up. “Did someone provoke those stupid humans?”
“True.”
Di Fengxi who heard that became curious. He had heard stories about the battle. However, there was not much he could hear because the gods felt it was a ridiculous battle that was not worth exaggerating.
Different from him, Mo Jingtian just chuckled. “Where have you been all this time? Di Shi, I had no idea a war god like you was completely useless.”
Di Fengxi's eyes widened slightly at those words. Master, don't you have no cultivation now? Even if Di Shi was injured, he could still kill you with a single blow. Why don't you hold back your words?
Di Shi coughed. His face is a little red. “In Futian, you're still as ruthless as you used to be.”
Mo Jingtian smiled mockingly. “That's the truth. You don't even know what mess is already going on out there.”
“Chaos? What happened?” Di Shi sat on another chair. “Fengxi, sit. You don't have to be here.”
Di Fengxi who had just stood up earlier finally nodded obediently. He sat down to join the two much more senior gods.
“Well, now tell me what has happened and .. why can't I feel the spiritual energy in your body?” Di Shi asked seriously.
Mo Jingtian smiled. He rubbed his neck gently then a hidden black shackle instantly appeared. Di Shi who saw that became shocked.
“How is it possible?!”
Di Shi really did not expect one day to see the devil shackles clinging to Mo Jingtian's neck. The God of Destruction for him had always been an untouchable god. Then who could touch him with such a frightening thing?
The devil's shackles are not something that can be released. All this time it was the most fearsome weapon for both the demons and the gods.
“The Heavenly Court is no longer what it used to be, Di Shi. His majesty is long gone,” Mo Jingtian said softly.
“But why? Is the Lord of the Heavenly Court already ..”
“Mati?” Mo Jingtian laughed. “No. He's alive.”
“It is He who has already done it,” Di Fengxi quickly told. However, Mo Jingtian actually looked at him sharply.
“In Fengxi, do you know? All the gods had two different faces or even more. You should be careful when saying something,” Mo Jingtian scolded flatly.
“Sorry. Fengxi sloppy.”
“What do you mean? I'm not the one who's going to be fake. I just ... It's a little hard to believe,” Di Shi said confusedly. How could the Heavenly Court Master use the seal of the demon tribe?
Di Shi shook his head slowly. Mo Jingtian experienced such a great thing. The whole heavenly court should know. However, he had never even heard of it. It must have been someone had deliberately blocked the news to keep him from knowing anything.
If so, most likely the same thing was experienced by other war gods. They were isolated from news of the heavenly court. For what purpose is something like this done?
“The Heavenly Court is changing, the justice of the gods needs to be questioned. Di Shi, you are after all a god of war. I hope you don't disappoint the world.”
“I know.” Di Shi lowered his head. “Did you come specially to tell these things?”
Mo Jingtian shook her head. Then he stretched out his hand on the table. The tip of his finger moved to draw something in the empty air. That's without any trace. Di Shi tried to notice her with a frown.
A while later Mo Jingtian asked, “Do you remember about this?”
Di Shi immediately nodded. “In the past in the fighting period of the rebellion of the four palaces, Guang Palace along with my Hua clan were almost dragged away for making a mistake. So, I punished them by snatching it and dumping it in a faraway place.”
“Is that really yours?”
“Not.” Di Shi was reminded of a very distant past. “In Futian, it is a very ancient thing. This thing appeared in a long period before the order of the three realms became like this. I got it because of accident.”
Mo Jingtian who heard that became even more interested. “I've heard that this world was once destroyed before it finally re-formed in a different order.”
“You're right. And that thing was a relic of an Ancient God named Bing Yu in that period. Can you guess the origin? This is a very interesting story.”
“Wait a minute.” Di Fengxi looked at them in confusion. “What are you guys talking about? I don't understand.”
Di Shi chuckled slightly. He ignored Di Fengxi's question and continued to continue his story.
“In those days, Bing Yu was the honorable supreme god. He has a lover whose cruelty resembles a demon. Despite the opposition, they are a couple who love each other.
“Thanks to that love, her lover finally repented and rose to become a goddess. Then this goddess performed penance in the Tiantang Hall. However, his punishment was too heavy and he was almost dying.
“God Bing Yu doesn't want to see her lover die. He sacrificed his age to withstand the punishment of heaven. This made the goddess cry. Tears filled with pain, love and regret that is what finally gave birth to this thing.”
“It ... touching story,” says Di Fengxi. “So, in that era gods can also feel love.”
Di Shi nodded. “Gods in those days were not the same as us. They are purely from the god race, this is a completely different race to humans.”
“I understand.” Di Fengxi nodded in understanding. He still had to learn knowledge from them.
“Pain, love, and regret. It was a touching love story. Then ... do you know what exactly the usefulness of that thing is?” asked Mo Jingtian.
Di Shi shook his head slowly. “I don't fully know. Didn't I ever tell you some of its benefits in the past?”
“It's still too vague. I want a definite answer.”
One of Di Shi's eyebrows shot up. “Could you have kept that thing?”
“Not me.” Mo Jingtian sighed. “I thought coming directly to you could make me take a decision without fear. Turns out I was wrong.”
“What decision?” Di Shi did not understand.
Mo Jingtian closed her eyes. “Forget it.” He stood up from his seat. The night air suddenly felt cold to him. “Fengxi, let's go back.”
“Wait a minute.” Di Shi still felt like he wanted to know more regarding the matter of Mo Jingtian as well as the changing Heavenly Court. However, Mo Jingtian shook her head.
“Regarding my problem, you don't need to know. While the Heavenly Court, you can investigate it. Only if you want to tell me something, come to Tianjun Palace. Remember not to flashy.”
After saying that, the figures of Mo Jingtian and Di Fengxi instantly disappeared. Di Shi frowned with a complicated feeling.
“How much chaos has happened so far? Looks like I have to find out.”

Meanwhile, Qing Yue’er sat inside her room in a lotus position. He looked at the pearl in his hand seriously and then took a deep breath.
Ying Jun had already told him that breaking through to the silver spirit realm would not be easy. He had to go through heavenly tribulation. If it does not work, his life will be in danger.
The entire room area was already locked and protected with a protective formation array. If the heavenly tribulation really came, it might be able to protect him and prevent him from damaging the rest of Tianjun's palace.
He closed his eyes deeply. Without any doubt he immediately swallowed the merfolk pearl whole.
