Chapter 972 Chapter 972: Meeting Queen Again
Nine hours have already pa.s.sed and Ye Xiao’s cultivation base has been reduced from G.o.d Realm to Divine Lord Realm. He was now a Nine Mark Divine Lord, and his cultivation was still regressing slowly.
Ye Xiao knew the regression of cultivation will stop only when he will lose his cultivation entirely. There is no way to stop this change and there is no need for him to stop what is happening.
Ye Xiao simply lay down on the floor and looked at the Nine Ancestral Dragons roaring from time to time while flying joyfully in the sky.
It was at this time, he heard a very familiar voice.
“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. Since you chose to live, you have to face all ups and downs that come in life.”
Ye Xiao was stunned at first, but when he thought deeply about these words, he found many hidden meanings that immediately calmed his heart. Although he was already ready to lose all his cultivation and has long accepted this fact, but somewhere deep in his heart, he was still feeling uncomfortable, and blamed the Second Universe and the Nine Ancestral Dragons for everything he was going through currently.
He blamed the Second Universe and the Nine Ancestral Dragons for using him for their own use, for playing with his feelings, for never telling him the truth, and for helping him rise in the sky only to be slammed directly to the ground.
He even blamed Queen for hiding the truth, he started hating her and stopped contacting her. His conversation with Queen completely ended after coming out of the fake World of Reincarnation, the Great Star Continent.
However, after hearing the above sentences and thinking deeply over, he found that it is really very normal for him to encounter such a thing.
As the saying goes, great powers come with great responsibility and one has to be ready to make several sacrifices, even those sacrifices that might take a person’s everything forcefully and that person won’t be able to do anything.
The moment he got the Heavenly Pearl, his fate completely changed. He not only survived but even his destroyed dantian was also healed and he once again stepped on the path of cultivation.
His talent, which was very average to begin with, was completely modified. In fact, the moment the Heavenly Pearl fused with him, he no longer required talent to cultivate. He made use of his devouring ability and increased his strength very quickly.
In his path of cultivation, he also killed many people. Although Ye Xiao killed those who deserve death, he could not guarantee this completely.
Take the Song Family for an example, he completely destroyed the Song Family for their crimes. But… There should be many innocent people in that family that were also killed by him in his last attack.
Take the Azure Dragon Country of Azure Sky Continent for an example. He was born in this country, but this country was completely destroyed because of him. If it is not for him, the Eyes of Heavenly Dao wouldn’t have attacked, and the Azure Dragon Country wouldn’t have been destroyed.
Ye Xiao was the reason behind the destruction of Azure Dragon Country. Countless innocent men died because of him.
Life is not fair to begin with. Weak people have no right to voice out their thoughts, they could only struggle. Strong could make use of weak people as they wish, they could completely control the lives of weak people.
When Ye Xiao obtained the Heavenly Pearl, he was weak, so weak that even a group of three or four ordinary people could have killed him.
The Heavenly Pearl changed his life, and at the same time, it used him. Being a weak person, he has no right to say a single word of blame to either the Heavenly Pearl or the Nine Ancestral Dragons. Being weak is his sin.
And because the Heavenly Pearl started using him the moment it entered Ye Xiao’s heart and gave him the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique to cultivate, Ye Xiao was bound to face the current situation. The day today was destined to come, and he was destined to lose all his cultivation this day.
And he could not do anything about it.
As the familiar voice from before said, “Since you chose to live, you have to face all ups and downs that come in life.”
He was facing the same situation right now.
All blame, condemnation, and disapproval for Queen, the Second Universe, and the Nine Ancestral Dragons instantly disappeared, and his heart completely calmed down.
He suddenly felt very calm in his heart, he felt as if something very heavy pressing him down has disappeared. He had an ethereal feeling at this moment that immediately improved his mood, his frame of mind totally relaxed.
“You are here!”
Ye Xiao stood up and turned to look at a beautiful figure who arrived beside him at some moment. Her swaying hair in a fixed rhythm gave her a very different beauty. She was no less beautiful than the mysterious lady who came from beyond the Heavens, but at the same time, her beauty was completely different.
The mysterious lady’s beauty is in her charm which could intoxicate anyone and attract them, making them lose their mind and try to kiss her.
But Queen’s beauty is completely different. Her beauty gave an aura of a strong person whom no one would dare to look in the eyes. She has an overbearing aura and gentleness on her body.
Queen smiled and asked: “Are you still angry?”
Ye Xiao shook his head and then smiled: “I was, but not anymore.”
“Looks like my words were effective!” Queen looked at the nine dragons roaring while flying in the sky with overjoyed expressions on their faces and said in a deep voice.
“In some senses, yes!” Ye Xiao also shifted his gaze to the Nine Ancestral Dragons once again and continued to say: “To be honest, I have long forgiven you. It was not your fault to begin with. What hurt me the most was the fact that you hide the truth from me. But at the same time, you also helped me a lot, even at the moment when I clearly didn’t want to even see you. You came and told me about the Ancient Ruin, and helped me in other ways as well.”
“It is just that, somewhere in my heart, I was still blaming you.”
“But it does not matter any longer. What matters now is to stand up again and never give up. I’ll continue to walk, not the path laid by others, but the path created by myself.”
Queen didn’t say anything for some time. She darted a deep look at him. She could sense many meanings behind those words. She was able to comprehend most but still failed to understand some.
She took a deep breath and then said: “Losing all the cultivation you have worked so hard to obtain, it is very normal for anyone to be extremely angry and hate the people to be blamed. I was one of them, so it is very normal for you to hate me.”
“After losing all your cultivation, you will also lose the opportunity to cultivate again. It is because you are not only losing your cultivation but also all the abilities you have obtained from the Nine Ancestral Dragons, even your connection with the Second Universe.”
“Your Dao Fruit and the Divine Nascent Soul will also be absorbed and will be used to nourish the Nine Ancestral Dragons. It means you will even lose your own understanding of the Laws of Heavens and their Profound Meanings.”
“At that time, you will return to your previous self where your dantian was destroyed. And at that time, your talent will matter.”
“Even if you somehow healed your dantian again and restart cultivating, your average talent will never let you go higher in the path of cultivation You might never even surpa.s.s Origin Core Realm with that average talent of yours.”
“And this will cause you to completely shatter, it’ll break your will and heart to the point where you’ll want to commit suicide instead of living.”
“But…” Queen stopped for a few seconds to take a breath, then she looked at Ye Xiao whose gaze was fixed on her beautiful face. She knew Ye Xiao was listening to her every word carefully, thus she again continued: “…The situation is not completely unchangeable. Unlike last time, you have your own advantages this time. You will still have the memories of three Ancient G.o.ds. And with these memories, no one can stop you from becoming at least a Divine Lord again.”
“But if you’ll want to continue cultivating and advance ore realms of cultivation, it’ll be impossible for you to do that. Because this time, you won’t be going against the Heavens, you’ll be with the Heavens!”
