Chapter 859: A Strange Metal Ball
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Face reddening, Ji Lingxi cried out in a fit of rage, “Like there’s anything to do with you! Like you’d know…”
She stomped away.
Little did he know, a gamut of thoughts were running through Ji Lingxi’s mind. Enter his deific consciousness? Doesn’t that mean he could do whatever he wanted, or see whatever he wanted? He could do whatever he wanted in the s.p.a.ce of his consciousness… like staring at my body… my face… my…
What’s more, what’s so different between entering Yun Yang’s deific consciousness and having my body entered by him — how can I allow this?
Hmph!
I’m not going in there!
I’ll never go in there!
What’s more important that a girl’s modesty?
The more she thought about it, the more wicked Yun Yang seemed, disrespecting a girl’s dignity like that. She failed to refrain from turning around and shouting at him. “Hooligan! Lecher! Pervert! Yun Yang, you’re one vile brat!”
What’s wrong with me?
What did I say?
Why am I a hooligan and a pervert? Why am I vile?
Why am I not aware of this?
Where did this even come from?
The injuries he sustained to his deific consciousness this time was not light at all. Only after three days of recuperation could he be considered half-healed.
In these few days, even with the Stellar Steel below as an anchor, the formations surrounding the Seven Star Lake resumed as usual; starlight still descended from the sky every night and the atmosphere was no different than before — there was no notable change at all…
However, Yun Yang could already tell that the next full moon would not look like it did before.
“However, no matter what, this is still a conducive haven that aids in cultivating.”
Yun Yang sighed, lost in thought. Next, he promptly activated the Nine Heavens Dictum, prompting Shui Wuyin to send a message to the Four Great Young Masters, Fang Mofei, Bai Yixue, Lao Mei, and even Yun Xiaoyao, letting them know that this realm was the most optimum place to advance their skills.
Only after informing his close comrades directly did Yun Yang relax.
After two more days of rest, he finally felt full of energy and spirit, as if he had been reborn.
“Shall we?”
“Alright!”
During these days of recuperation, their cultivation skills had already attained peak levels, or perhaps one should say — the limits which can be sustained in this world — for they could be thoroughly hated if they made even more breakthroughs.
Now, however, by willing themselves with a simple intent in mind, they could work wonders.
No matter which aspect it was a.n.a.lyzed from, their cultivation bases rendered them no longer suitable to stay in the Tianxuan Continent, or perhaps, in other words, their cultivation bases had already surpa.s.sed the highest possible level. They had been suppressing it all along, and now it was getting extremely tough to hold it in.
“If we are not separated from each other by the time we reach the Bound of Universe, then there’s nothing to worry about, but if we do get separated…”
“Please remember what I told you. Be careful. Think before you act.” Yun Yang urged again and again.
“I know. Everything must be treated with caution!”
Ji Lingxi seemed to have come to a sudden conclusion. She unconsciously lowered her head, and for the longest moment, she did not speak.
It was as if she was pondering about something. She seemed a little dazed, stopping herself midstep.
Yun Yang could not comprehend what this little girl was daydreaming about this time. She was acting strangely.
“Kiss me.”
Ji Lingxi recalled Yun Yang’s kiss when Shangguan Lingxiu was about to leave. In that instant, she was hoping for it as well, and could not help herself. Despite her best efforts, she blurted out this desire in a low murmur.
“What?”
Her words came out vaguely, in a low tone and all too suddenly. Yun Yang was unable to catch them, so he questioned persistently.
Ji Lingxi was incensed. “I said — you’re a real pig!”
Can a girl’s modesty be disrespected in such a manner?
Yun Yang rolled his eyes instantly.
Women — why is it so hard to deal with them? I don’t even understand — what’s going on now? You women are always acting up like this, making me feel really helpless…
Ji Lingxi rolled her eyes in a ferocious manner before yelling suddenly, “I said, I’m letting you kiss me — are you deaf?”
She suddenly leaped up.
Holding Yun Yang in an embrace, she tilted her red lips up voluntarily. They were about to part from each other soon; there was no time to care and be shy about a lady’s modesty.
Dignity, modesty and these sort of things; why do they even matter when my beloved is standing right here before me?
It was only during that moment Yun Yang understood her intent. His heart throbbed upon the sight of those alluring red lips; without further hesitation, he kissed her.
“This… to be ordered to kiss like this… seems a little… fishy. I seem to have forgotten something…” he thought to himself.
The moment their lips touch, a red light bloomed unexpectedly around them.
Boom!
Yun Yang, Lord Supreme Cloud or Supreme Wit, the so-called number one in the world, flew away for a good ten feet, his body thrown into the air as he gritted his teeth. “I knew I was forgetting something…”
Luckily, this time it was by Ji Lingxi’s own will, so Yun Yang did not suffer much damage; however, half a day’s rest was still required.
Ji Lingxi’s face darkened as she mumbled to herself incessantly. It was unsure who she was cursing this time…
…
Yun Yang was very curious about the Stellar Steel Ball that had been stored in the s.p.a.ce of his consciousness. Stellar Steel that had attained the progression of a stellar core was already quite a rarity in itself. What kind of ent.i.ty would be contained within?
Initially, Yun Yang was feeling quite smug when he first took in the Stellar Steel ball into his deific consciousness, thinking that whatever that was already in that storage s.p.a.ce of his was like a piece of meat on his chopping board — he could sort it out in whatever manner he found fit. However, in reality, Yun Yang was feeling more and more discouraged.
Yun Yang spent half a day’s effort, imagined every way possible and exhausted all the resources he had, but he still could not pry open the outer layer of the Stellar Steel Ball. As compared to his prior attempts, the Divine Edge could be expressed in many ways. One slash from it could produce a five-feet-long cut, rendering it quite effective, but as soon as he pulled out the saber, that incision was sealed shut!
It had healed itself completely!
This outcome nearly caused Yun Yang’s eyeb.a.l.l.s to fall out.
This is Stellar Steel after all… steel?
Since when did steel have self-healing properties? Furthermore, at such a speed!
Even if it was Stellar Steel that had precipitated to its highest progression — Stellar Steel core — it wasn’t possible that it could undergo a transformation like this.
Yun Yang activated his power, Endless Divine Art, once more and tried repeatedly, but he made no progress. In the end, Yun Yang focused all his energy on the Divine Edge and yet there was still no signs of progress even after he activated Endless Divine Art to cast Saber Truth: Destiny Blade. Although the damage inflicted on that steel ball this time was much severe than before, it restored itself to its original condition almost immediately, rendering every effort of his useless.
This steel ball could not even be permanently harmed with a perfect combination of Divine Edge paired with Saber Truth: Destiny Blade. Yun Yang was truly at his wit’s end, feeling utterly helpless.
Seeing how Yun Yang had failed at so many attempts, Emmie tried enveloping the steel ball with green vines. After examining it for a long time, it resorted to a look of utter dismay as well.
“There must be something really precious inside, but why can’t it be pried open?”
Eventually, Emmie came up with a conclusion. The results from the combination of Saber Truth: Destiny Blade and Divine Edge were evident — it was definitely effective, but Yun Yang’s cultivation base was just too weak. If Yun Yang could advance to the sixth tier of Endless Divine Art while simultaneously making Divine Edge undergo a trans.m.u.tational upgrade, there might be a chance that the steel ball could be opened by then.
Yun Yang felt slightly dejected.
I’m only at the fourth tier now…
Ascending subsequent levels in the future will be even tougher than before… when will I ever reach the sixth tier?
