Realms In The Firmament
chapter-1721

Ye Xiao nodded and said, “I see. I promise I will do this.”

“Our great martial arts are in these two jade pendants. When we leave, you can read them as you like and use them as you wish. We know that you have been cultivating something even more powerful, so you may not really want our martial arts. However, our martial arts may help you better understand other martial arts! There is one thing we want you to promise. Please, do not give all our martial arts to a single man.”

Ji Qingxiao said, “They won’t be able to carry forward the greatness to have them all…”

Ye Xiao stayed silent for a while and then said, “I see. People are limited. It is always better to focus on one thing. Not everyone has the capability to take two or more courses concurrently.”

Ce Xingchen looked impressed. He said, “That’s correct.

“Please, Monarch Ye. We are counting on you. We don’t want our works to be wasted. It doesn’t matter who you choose to learn our martial arts.

“There is one more thing we must ask for your help. It is something the two of us want the most.”

Ce Xingchen made a long sigh and said, “We want to know what is the stage beyond the Supremacy.

“We have spent our lives trying to reach the stage beyond the limit of this world. When the Divine Choice came to us, we gave up the opportunity. We never had a second chance afterward. We could see things that would happen millions of years later, and things that had happened millions of years earlier. However, we never saw the answer we wanted.

“We lost the opportunity to reach the upper stage, and we never regretted it. However, we want to know what it is. When we used up every bit of our spiritual energy to see the future, we saw something beyond the Heavenly Dao that could go against destiny and fate of the Human Realm Upon Heavens.”

“Something beyond the Heavenly Dao?” Ye Xiao was surprised.

“That’s right. It is you. You will go beyond the Heavenly Dao.” Ji Qingxiao said, “We see your past, but we can’t see your future.”

Ye Xiao was lost in thoughts.

“We are sure that if there is somebody in the world who can go beyond the limit of the world without destroying the world, it is you. Nobody else!

“That is why we put our fate in you.”

Ce Xingchen smiled and enthusiastically stared at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao seemed to be enlightened. He widely opened his eyes and said, “Was it you? My rebirth! Did you save the last bit of my soul back then? Was it you?”

Ji Qingxiao bitterly smiled and said, “No. Monarch Ye, you are overestimating us. We do have the power to see the past and the future, but we can’t do things that reached beyond the great power of the Heavenly Dao! When we got to know that the world had to die if we wanted to survive, we didn’t accept it. We thought we could find an answer in the future, so we searched the future for it. Then we found you, who lives one hundred and eighty thousand years after us. We just found you, and it cost all our energy. We were like two onlookers who spent everything we had on this opportunity.”

Ye Xiao was confused. ‘They didn’t do anything to me? Somebody else did? What does the Heavenly Dao mean anyway? The Great Dao, the Heavenly Dao… I don’t understand.’

“After that, we lost our soul power. All that was left with us was our cultivation power which kept us breathing. We didn’t die, but we would die soon. In the end, we decided to have that final battle. After all, our cultivation power still influenced the world.

“The last thing we want… Please, Monarch Ye. When you break through the limit of this world, please tell us the truth.” Ji Qingxiao sighed.

“We didn’t destroy the world, so when we truly leave, our souls will be a part of the Heavenly Dao in this world. When you break the limit of the world, just think about us. We will sense it.” Ce Xingchen said, “Please, it is the thing that we want the most.

“We just want to know what is beyond the Human Realm Upon Heavens. We want to know what is beyond the Heavenly Dao of this world!

“Please.”

Ji Qingxiao and Ce Xingchen both smiled with the purest sincerity.

It was the purest!

Ye Xiao felt warmth in his heart.

The great heroes loved the Dao of martial art, but they weren’t totally lost in it.

Their hearts were pure. They were obsessed with the great martial arts, but they didn’t do anything excessive for their goals!

They truly impressed Ye Xiao!

“Our spiritual minds should only stay in this world for just a few minutes. Luckily, your brilliant Boundless Space helped us stay for a long time. However, now it is time for us to disappear in the world forever.”

Ji Qingxiao blandly said, “Monarch Ye, take care.”

Ce Xingchen looked at Ye Xiao and said, “Take care.”

Ye Xiao felt heavy in the heart. He had only spent a short time with the two Supreme Masters, but now he was already loath to part with the two great men.

When he watched the two great men prepare to leave the world forever, he felt upset.

“I mean… Is there another option other than disappearing forever?” Ye Xiao asked. “Like you just said, your cultivation was the reason why you had to face the Divine Choice. Now that you are dead, and these are only a bit of your spiritual minds. Is the divine punishment going to follow you even though you are just some spiritual mind? You only have a bit of soul which carries your memory and wits. It shouldn’t be difficult for you to go to your next life. Right?”

Ji Qingxiao bitterly smiled and said, “You are talking like you are a nonprofessional. You have faced the Divine Choice yourself. Once you have the power which was over the limit of this world, you can’t stay. Even if we are reborn to our next lives, we will have to suffer the divine punishment anyway. We can’t escape it.

“We are going to be destroyed sooner or later.

“Besides, we have used every bit of our soul power to search the future, and to build the secured area for our descendants, and we have saved the last bit of our spiritual minds in the two jade pendants. Even if the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t punish us, what energy do we have to go to our next life? Our soul power is completely used up.”
