Chapter 987: Sacred Truths

Chapter 988: Sacred Truths

The city was dark and filled with danger. On the other hand, this aged courtyard was now brimming with life and vegetation. Even water started filling the pond again, making it look like an oasis.

In the center was a small island with a bonfire. The bright flames issued crackles and embers.

“Cough…” Xuanyuan Yiyi slowly woke up and opened her eyes. She saw the bonfire and closed them again.

“You’re still here.” She began recovering and absorbing the energy from the Buddhist pill. A long white robe covered her delicate body – clearly belonging to a man.

Feiyun sat next to the bonfire and drank from a gourd. The flames gave him a red glow, clearly illuminating his handsome appearance.

He smiled and said: “If I leave, the famous saintess of Aquamoon might be dragged away by wolves.”

She took a deep breath and became radiant with a Buddhist glow. She opened her eyes again. They became more spirited and brighter than before. She sat up straight and calmly said: “You know there are no wolves here.”

“Men can turn into wolves.” Feiyun said before adding: “I’m just kidding, don’t take me seriously.”

She glanced at the robe and gently touched it; her brows slightly furrowed.

“This is a daoist robe during my time in Wanxiang Pagoda, I’ve never worn it before. Don’t worry, the bad luck of a half-demon won’t infect you.” He took another sip.

“Thank you.” She let go and said.

She was still pale from the grievous injury. The pill alone wasn’t enough to heal her wounds, only able to wake her up. She must rely on herself in order to regain her cultivation.

Feiyun sat straight up and put on a bright smile. His red eyes had a strange charisma to them: “You cultivate the Heart Meditation Sword Scripture, using the heart to enter the dao, using the sword to walk the path of the dao, using your intent as the dao. You forced yourself to the limit and used the scripture’s mysteries. Though you managed to repel those demon paragons, your own sword energy injured you.”

She sat still like a pine tree while asking: “How do you know the mantra of the scripture? This is a part of the last section, only saintesses in Heaven’s Emergence are allowed to cultivate. I’ve only heard the deity mentioned it in passing and still hasn’t trained it.”

He smiled and said: “Why did she say that you need to be at Heaven’s Emergence before cultivating?”

She frowned, unhappy about his disrespectful attitude. Nonetheless, she calmly responded: “The deity taught that the sacred truths are profound. It is best to wait because forcefully learning them too early can be detrimental.”

“Nonsense, she lied to you all, afraid of being surpassed. The sacred truth is the foundation of the scripture, akin to the dantian of cultivators, spirit core of beasts, original source of corpses and ghosts. The sooner, the better since it’ll improve your cultivation speed.” He sneered.

“Impossible.” Her expression turned cold: “Do not disrespect the deity. Her cultivation and state of mind are beyond your comprehension. She is selfless and altruistic, if cultivating the sacred truth is beneficial for us, she would have told us to do it earlier.”

He knew that Shui Yueting was above a god in Yiyi’s eyes. This was a waste of time so he changed the topic: “You have injuries in your meridians. If you want to heal, you have to understand the sacred truths. Otherwise, you’ll only have three months left at best.”

She knew her body more than anyone else. It seemed that the guy had checked her out as well while she was unconscious.

“You understand the sacred truths?” She asked.

He looked at her and said: “I can teach you if you wish to learn.”

She remained skeptical, doubting that he would know about the ultimate scripture of Aquamoon. Only the saintess in each generation had access to it, not outsiders.

He smirked and continued: “You know nothing about your own scripture yet you still try to cultivate it. The sacred truths are omniscient, capable of reaching the past, present, and future, passing through hot and cold, sounds, the ten worlds, each speck of dust, nothing can stop the truth…”

He started lecturing and she couldn’t help being immersed while listening. She became petrified and white halos pulsed around her.

He glanced at her and realized that she was learning. He pressed onward: “The scripture originates from the daoist faction and eventually fuses Buddhist concepts as well, the trinity and the five elements in particular. This culminated in a formless dao, a sacred truth of the scripture.”

“What is formless?” She took the initiative of asking. Each strand of hair was now covered with a white glow.

“The trinity. Formless, soundless, and touchless. The three combined together to form the first truth. But ultimately, there must be one first. From one to two, from two to three, from three to all things.”

Yiyi was a supreme genius and already had a deep understanding of the scripture. Through his mantra, she was finally able to touch the first truth.

He didn’t actually know that much about the scripture and had only read it once. After repeating the content, he stopped and let her comprehend it herself.

“Boom!” Suddenly, black clouds engulfed the courtyard as shadows infiltrated. The newcomers were shrouded in black cloaks.

Feiyun glared at them and said: “To what do we owe this pleasure, seniors from the Yin World? You’re quite bold to disturb a training session from Aquamoon Saintess. Don’t you know the consequences?”

He acted calm but was actually panicking inside. Xuanyuan Yiyi was meditating on top of being wounded.

As for the old men, they were battle-hardened paragons. If they dared to come, they certainly came prepared. It wouldn’t be easy to scare them away. Only their eyes could be seen through the cloaks. Nether energies circled around them.

A man with a blue iron ring around his left shoulder glanced at Xuanyuan Yiyi. His eyes narrowed, wanting to see through her.

“Boom!” Yiyi woke up and activated her radiance. The sword on her back started vibrating as she spoke: “So you’re from the Yin World. Not only did you disrespect me but also tried to kidnap someone summoned by the deity.”

The old man’s eyes were pricked by her sword energy. He looked away and took one step backward.

A while ago, they wanted to take Feiyun away from her. They had sealed the heaven’s eyes and wore special cloaks, stopping her from knowing their identity. Thus, they weren’t afraid of retribution from Aquamoon Paradise.

Alas, Feiyun knew who they were and now, so did the saintess. If she were to report this to the deity, they would definitely be punished.

This was all because of that demon princess. They blamed everything on Princess Feiyuan.

She told them that these two were grievously wounded. Thus, they came to capture Feng Feiyun.

Unfortunately, this saintess seemed just fine and had figured out who they are.

‘That princess tricked us, she used us to scout the saintess’ condition, damn that demoness. That’s why she’s the top dog of the white spiders’ young generation.’ One of them thought.

Unfortunately, they had jumped on the tiger and couldn’t get off right now. In an actual fight against the princess in her peak condition, they wouldn’t be able to capture or kill her.

This would only worsen the feud. Aquamoon Paradise would hate them even more and death would become inevitable.

Meanwhile, Feiyun and Yiyi were nervous as well. If these four paragons were to risk it all, then their chance of escaping was rather slim.

Sweat appeared on Yiyi’s forehead since she was having a hard time holding on. At the very least, the paragons were anxious and didn’t take another look at her.
