Realms In The Firmament

First, there must be some kind of power that was strong enough to slant the mountains. That was easy. Xuan Bing herself could do it. It wasn’t actually a difficult thing for her. In fact, even Han Bingxue could do it if he tried hard enough.

However, that was the first step!

The next step was the real challenge. The two mountains had to be slanted at the same time. It wasn’t difficult for Xuan Bing either. She just needed to work a bit harder. However, the two mountains had to lean on each other perfectly.

That was the most difficult one, but Xuan Bing still could do it.

The real problem was that the two mountains had to prevent collapse. Neither of the mountains could collapse during the process and the countless days after it was finished!

That was the real problem!

Xuan Bing thought for a while and came up with an uncertain possibility. If she did it, first of all, the mountains must be really strong. Second, when she made the mountains fall, it had to be accurate and punctual. That was the only way to keep the mountains from collapsing. That was the only way to keep the ravine existing for countless years!

It seemed to be a doable plan. However, she had a problem. She could think of such a way, but she was not able to accomplish it. It required overwhelming power, fast speed, and perfect precision. It wouldn’t work without any of these.

Xuan Bing reckoned that she wasn’t able to do it, even after she was free from the divine punishment. Not only she couldn’t do it, but also Wu Fa, who was known as the most powerful cultivator in the world. They were two of the most powerful cultivators in the world after all. Wu Fa was better than her in cultivation foundation, but not in other aspects. Besides, Xuan Bing might be even stronger than Wu Fa since she had removed the divine punishment on her. She used to be one of the best before she was greatly improved. Now, she might be even more powerful than Wu Fa!

All in all, Xuan Bing had a conclusion. What Ye Xiao said was possible, but nobody in Qing-Yun Realm could do it!

”This is Mountain of All Medicines. It is known as the mountain of spirit beasts and medicines.” Han Bingxue sighed. It reminded Xuan Bing something else—this mountain was impossible to destroy.

She was enlightened. [This mountain has a mysterious power. Nobody could do any harm to this mountain, not even a piece of rock on the mountain. One who wanted to pick up a stone had to use one hundred times of their strength.]

The weirdest thing was that when the stone was taken away from the mountain, one would find out that it was the same weight as the normal stones.

They looked up at the same time, observing the ravine closely. They looked at the rocks pushing each other. They wanted to find traces that proved what the mountains were like before they fell down and made the ravine. As they spent more time looking at it, they realized what Ye Xiao said was exactly what had happened in the old time. They were terrified.

Han Bingxue was astonished. Xuan Bing was surprised. She figured she still had a lot to improve in the future. Ye Xiao was actually the only one who was calm. Not that he thought he was able to do such a great thing, in fact, not only at the present, even when he was still Xiao Monarch, he still couldn’t. He used to be a little better than Han Bingxue and that was all. He couldn’t defend himself more than two moves if he had to fight against Xuan Bing.

Actually, because they were in different cultivation levels, they had different knowledge about things.

Xuan Bing and Han Bingxue were two of the most powerful figures in the realm. Xuan Bing was a super powerful figure. However, she was only a super powerful figure in this realm. Ye Xiao had experienced the strength of the cultivators in Human Realm Upon Heavens and also the power of the most powerful people in Qing-Yun Realm’s history. He was much more experienced than Xuan Bing and Han Bingxue!

He was sure even the ancient masters of Qing-Yun Realm were unable to do this. However, those in Human Realm Upon Heavens could definitely do it!

It seemed a powerful figure once came to this place from Human Realm Upon Heavens!

When the three of them were looking up at the top of the ravine, a voice sounded in an erupting way.

”Ha. Look at the three fools…”

The three of them felt awkward at the same time.

They were all looking up at the rocks on the top of the ravine… showing the same posture… not moving for a long time… Even though they didn’t want to admit it, they were actually just like three fools…

However, the truth was not as it looked like!

It was something so important that it concerned their lives!

”The three people there… Hahahaha… They are stunned looking at the rocks…”

Another voice sounded.

Ye Xiao, Xuan Bing, and Han Bingxue looked to where the voice sounded from. On the mountain beside the ravine, three men were standing in a small path on the hillside staring at them like looking at a new land. They were walking over with excitement on their faces.

Ye Xiao understood what they felt. After all, it wasn’t a usual thing to see three fools at the same time in this place.

However, even though he understood it, it didn’t mean he forgave it!

They were mocking Ye Xiao, Xuan Bing, and Han Bingxue!

The three men were young. They all wore shorts. They looked energetic, spirited, and casual. They must be people from some big clan. The three of them were carrying a big basket on each of their backs like Song Xuan did. They were on the mountain for the medicines. They were collecting medicined for their clan so that their clan could exchange for cultivation resources.

When they saw Ye Xiao, Han Bingxue, and Xuan Bing turn their heads at the same time and shifted their gaze, they laughed even louder. They were still like three fools, but just staring at the three young men this time.

Miseries and pleasures were all destined. Those who had extreme joy would get sorrow at the end!

When the three young men got closer, Xuan Bing couldn’t bear it.

Every time when Xuan Bing relived this experience with Ye Xiao in her dream, she would feel angry, even if she had felt delighted before the dream. After all, the experience was full of weirdos that were more than all the weirdos she had ever seen in her life. She met every strange person during the time she spent with Ye Xiao in this place.

Some sneered at her, some dally to her, some called her a concubine, some called her ugly, and some even called her a wild woman…

Xuan Bing realized that… there were so many weirdos in the world. There were so many unfair things in the world. Some people bullied others all the time. Some were just always waiting to be bullied.

If one was not powerful enough, he or she might have to just bear the pain in the life, or just die very soon.

In other words, people without power didn’t even have the rights to live with dignity. They could only exchange their lives for dignity. Even though they decided to make the exchange, they only had one instant to have dignity!

The world was always unfair!
