"You do not need to answer right now! Can think about it some more!" Yin Luo promptly added, unsure whether it's to persuade herself or to persuade him. "I know...I know that saying this is probably kind of bras.h.!.+ But you don't need to be surprised, in our G.o.d race, since ancient times the ones who inherit the body of a G.o.d had always been women. So naturally, women have been treated with respect, so even though I'm the one to bring it up first, there is nothing wrong." She made a hurried smile, fingers twisting together into a bundle, so nervous that she felt silly.
"I know, I might not have any capabilities. Even in something like Xian powers, I might not be able to surpa.s.s you, but you don't have to worry. I'll treat you very well. When the day for the Sword Seeking Ceremony comes, I will also try my best....."
"You want to attend the Sword Seeking Ceremony?" He was a bit surprised.
Yin Luo faintly smiled, "Yes! I am of the G.o.d race after all. Even though I don't know anything, let's not talk about xian powers, but even in sword-riding it's also.....really, it's such a loss of face for the G.o.d race."
"You haven't done anything wrong, why are you degrading yourself?" Bai Zhu frowned.
"What I'm saying is also simply the truth!" Yin Luo smiled with indifference, "You've also heard the foretelling of the Tian Di's return, right?"
Bai Zhu nodded, "Many hundred millions of years ago, before the Tian Di has pa.s.sed away, it's been fortold that the day the Mo Shen returns, it will also be the day that the Tian Di will be revived."
"But the G.o.d lineage which has carried down to my generation, is also the last of the race. Yin Luo spoke slowly, "Since ancient times, each generation of the G.o.d lineage had always been one male one female. Brother and Sister or Sister and Brother, their union would bring forth the next generation. This has been the G.o.d race's tradition, but my mother, had only gave birth to daughters, so the G.o.d lineage afraid will end with my generation. No longer another to enter this world. The world speculates that between the two of us, one must be the reborn Creator." With a deep thought, she shook her head, "No, should say that all believe it can only be her Lord Honor. However, without the affirmation of the Heavenly Sword, still cannot be completely sure. So....even if there's only a thread of hope, I also wish to give it a try."
"Seeking the sword will be extremely dangerous, you...." Bai Zhu's words are interupted again.
"The Heavenly Sword only recognizes one master, I know!" Yin Luo's expression hasn't changed, not a trace of fear, "To any who dares to violate it, either they will not be able to find any trace of the sword, or they will lose their sanity. Even those of the G.o.d race will be so! They will not outlive a hundred years!" This is also the reason why G.o.d race has dwindled to this scarce number. "So......so that's why I'm telling you now."
She took a step forward, seeming to have made up her mind, and mustered up her courage. Bringing out of the bag at her side an object that she had been clutching in her hand all the while and pa.s.sed it into his hand, "This is....this is the Scarlet Liu Hua Flower, you know that the Liu Hua Flower is colorless, so should also know this Scarlet Liu Hua Flower's implication! Are you...are you willing to safekeep it for me?"
His dark black eyes froze, directly fixed on her.
Yin Luo's hands are shaking, her heart also started trembling. Tugging at the corner of her lips, wanting to smile, but she was nervous to the point that even a smile cannot come through. "You can think it over...give it some more thought. Since there's still five year's time until the Sword Seeking Ceremony, this Scarlet Liu Hua Flower, just hold it. These five years...for these five years I hope you can keep it with you for as long as possible. If staying by my side, naturally...naturally it'll be the company between a man and a woman. As for the Heavenly Sword, I have high aspiration for it. These five years, for the time being, you can stay on the Divine Mountain. Being at the very top of the Divine Mountain, on it's divine grounds, will be advantageous towards your enlightenment. I won't ask for a lot from you, just....just five years would be good... If...if one day you don't want it any more, you need only give it back to me!"
Yin Luo's heart quivered more intensely. Her eyes don't dare to blink, staring at that Liu Hua Flower in his hand. Seeing that he did not treat it like a burning potato and directly throw it back at her face, inside she is wild with joy. There's hope, there's hope! Heaven does treat her well, really treats her well!
"I.....will only marry one person in this lifetime...."
"You don't have to worry, I didn't say I want to be your wife. I only want you....to keep me company. You can hold onto your wife's t.i.tle. Suppose....." A pause, and she continues again softly, "Suppose if in the future you have someone that you truly love, I won't hold you back.... You can be free to take her and be like birds, flying and nesting together, I won't resent you. I only want...that during my living days, there's someone....there's someone who will treat me sincerely, not for any other interests. I don't mind that you've just become a xian and only just a low xian, and you do not mind that I am the disowned G.o.d that this world shames. Even...even if you don't take me to heart, as long as there's no deception...then it's fine!"
On her opposite, there was a long moment of silence. Yin Luo's every heartbeat felt like it was against the sharp point of a blade, very afraid that he would throw the Liu Hua Flower back at her in disgust.
"I'll treat you very well....very well! And rest a.s.sured....the enlightenment techniques of our Divine Mountain are by far the fastest and most complete. So if you want to achieve enlightenment, it naturally would be must faster compared to at Bai Mu." It's just unfortunate that she herself couldn't find those techniques, so even with the treasure here, she still can't find the door to enter. "As long as you're willing, after rescuing the a.s.sembly, I...I'll immediately take you back to the Divine Mountain. Being with me though, others will mock you, when it happens, I hope you won't mind....."
His mouth moved slightly although he didn't say anything. An extremely loud sound sounded from behind their bodies though. Flowing light infiltrates through the air. The two simultaneously froze, looking up into the air ahead.
"The barrier opposing the Tian Ling Zhen from the inside has weakened!" Bai Zhu brows tightened, "The a.s.sembly is in danger!"
"I'll go in immediately!" Yin Luo didn't even think, turned around and dashed ahead, as if trying to prove her previous words.
"Yin Luo!" Bai Zhu reached out, wanting to stop her. Yin Luo turned her head around, took a glance at the Scarlet Liu Hua Flower in his hand, and only lifted the corner of her lips up in a smile. A smile of content, of incomparable beauty yet simple, as if she had suddenly become another person. Bai Zhu became spellbound, momentarily forgetting his initial action.
Yin Luo didn't have anything more to be concerned about, hardening herself to go forward. She hasn't learned any self-preservation skills, only relying on her undying body of a G.o.d to go force her way forward.
But, would not die did not mean would not feel pain. When cras.h.i.+ng into that invisible wall of the array spell, that overwelming pain that swept over, felt like ten million sharp blades slicing her into pieces. At once, blood sprayed into the air. Even she could see those flying, splattering blood droplets, scattering outwards. Suddenly, blooming red lotuses covered the ground. Like ink staining paper, the entire pa.s.sageway is covered in red lotuses. All in sight is eye-stinging red.
What was supposed to be a dark pa.s.sageway, in an instant became a blood-tinted spring day. Everywhere, flowers continue to bloom.
Yet the pain continues on. All around, the slicing pain covers the entire body, some seeming to have cut into the chest, some unforgivingly into the arm. Every part of the body is screaming to part from her, flesh wanting to fly.
It hurts, really hurts! Thousands of hundreds of years pa.s.sed, she has never felt this type of deathly pain. That pain is as if will never stop, following her with each step she takes inwards, increasing to another degree with each step. It's as if at any time, it could separate her into thousands of shreds.
Yin Luo clenched her teeth harshly, struggling to move forward. Just a little further, just a little further and this Tian Ling Zhen would be broken. Her Liu Hua Flower has already been sent out, hadn't it? Only need to break this Tian Ling Zhen, and she'll take Bai Zhu with her, and from then she would also have someone who would treat her sincerely, and also have someone who doesn't treat her like a stepping board, even if it's only for 5 years. It'll definitely pa.s.s more happily than how she spent these thousand years.
Yin Luo didn't even know how she had managed to finish walking that part of the pa.s.sage, perhaps it's because of that sliver of warmth in her heart. Even though it hadn't even been 10 feet, yet she felt that she had already walked for a thousand years. Only until a 'ding' sound pa.s.ses into her ear, like the sound of something falling apart, did she then collapse. Everything appeared hazy before the eyes, only red. Her conciousness still exceptionally clear, the pain from every wound on the body communicates clearly into her heart.
"Yin Luo!" At earside comes a voice that carried guilt. The side of her body graudally felt some warmth, like someone was holding her. In her vision, Bai Zhu's worried face starts to show up.
"Look....I said....with my body of a G.o.d I would...be alright!" Yin Luo moved the corner of her lip, smiling very proudly. Her only desirable a.s.set is definitely this, the body of a G.o.d that she has inherited from her mother. Even if it's the Tian Ling Zhen, it still cannot reduce her to shredded flesh and powdered bones.
"Don't talk! I'll help you stop your bleeding!" Bai Zhu grit his teeth, whispering some incantations, moving towards the wounds on her body only to see that the wounds show no hint of healing, "How?"
"My body compared to a normal person's....is different! The bleeding...cannot be stopped, can only wait for it to heal by itself!" Yin Luo explained, everything with an advantage will also have it's disadvantages. Since she has the body of a G.o.d, naturally she cannot take the a.s.sistance of regular xian powers.
It becomes silent again besides her, but the hand at her side has tightened a bit. He must be very concerned about her, Yin Luo thought. The bottom of her heart starts to suffuse with the feeling of sweetness again.
"The Liu Hua Flower?" She asked.
"..... it's here!"
Hearing this, her mood seemed to have flown up into the sky. At that moment, every wound on seems to have been completely forgotten. He had been keeping it all along!"
"You should quickly go find the a.s.sembly! I'm fine, the wounds will close on their own. This time I'm only hurt a little more severe, so will need some time. But it's not life threatening!"
Bai Zhu tightened his hold on the Liu Hua Flower in his hand, making no comment.
Yin Luo continued, "You see the scar on my left arm, hadn't it healed already? That was from during the gathering party. Right now, already can't even see any hint of it being wounded. You don't have to worry!"
After hearing that, he glanced at that blood clotted left hand of hers. Finally a.s.sured, he brought his hand around her waist and picked her up, got on his sword and flew out of the secret pa.s.sageway. He set her down at the center of the peach forest of the Jade Pool.
"I don't know if ahead there would be an ambush from the Mo realm. You wait here for a moment. After I save the rest of the a.s.sembly, I will come find you!"
Yin Luo nodded. He turned his head around and took a few more glances, swept his hand around her to build a protective s.h.i.+eld for her before turning to go save the rest.
Once that arresting figure of his disapeared from sight, Yin Luo then allowed that pain to flow freely, clenching her teeth to endure the pain that felt like a slow dragging death. She forgot to say that although the body of a G.o.d doesn't die, even though the wounds would close by themselves, but that is only in the condition that the primordial core isn't damaged.
Tian Ling Zhen is an ancient array spell, a type of imprisoning technique! Just from her injuries right now, it seems that it won't be simply just damage to the primordial core. She could feel that the blood in her body is unstopingly flowing out. Under her body, one afer one, fresh red lotuses bloom. One after another, they slowly invade the entire peach forest, making those trees that were full of peach blossoms lose color all at once, only leaving behind that field of bloodlike, firelike, bright and arrogant dazzling red.
A long while after.
Suddenly from underneath, there is some trembling, then following, the ground starts to slowly rise. The once dim Jade Pool is gradually submerged in sunlight until completely out of the darkness. That darkness that carried a chill with it instantly disappears. Lifting up her head to stare at that elegant and tender sunlight, Yin Luo knows that Bai Zhu has succeeded. The Jade Pool was rising.
The chords in her heart suddenly loosened, causing the previously clear conciousness to start to waver. In order to force herself to not pa.s.s out, she bit down on her lip, waiting for that snow-like figure to come back.
Red Lotuses are suddenly like dancing. In the distance, a hazy shadow descends, carrying a familiar aura. It was not that white figure in her heart however. Yin Luo involuntarily lets out a laugh.
"In the end, it's always you to find me first!"
