Rebirth in Against the Gods with The Ultimate System - Chapter 135
Cang Yue slowly opened her eyes as arrived somewhere foreign to her. She rubs her beautiful eyes to gain a better view of the place she was thrown into.
“Where in the world am I?” She dragged her eyes towards the empty space in front of her. The fuschia haired girl found herself in a zone unfamiliar to her. Very unfamiliar…
If she were to describe the zone she was in, it was otherworldly. The void was full with steam like cloud around her as well as rainbow colored clouds all over. The place looked magical as well as mystical but there’s only one thing bothering her. When she said it was otherworldly, she felt like she was transported into a different world as the zone she’s currently in was devoid of any signs of life.
When she regained her consciousness, the first thing she felt was….
“Ehhh…why’s there’s no ground? Am I falling?!?” She tried to struggle but the more she did such thing, the heavier she felt within her body. It took her a while to realized that she was floating this entire time. Whatever this dimension is, it seems to be groundless and the only way for her to move was just floating.
But where could she float?
There’s no destination, place or platform she could land. The only thing that the realm had was rainbow colored clouds. So what is her purpose for coming here?
“What is this place?” Her mind was still preoccupied with the nature of the groundless color cloud void. She tried calling her friends sometimes but she received no such answers from them. She didn’t even feel their energy. “Yun Che, Sister Retsu…. Sister Mio…Kon…. Where is everyone?” She tried to remember the last time things that happened before she got here. The only thing she remembered was getting that feather from Yun Che, then the next thing she’s in this place.
She tried to understand the place she was in. Despite she had the ability to float, she also noticed that the air in this place is heavy and making her immobilize. One more thing that puzzles her was every time she tried to use her profound strength, she was entirely petrified but if she didn’t use, she could freely move. It means this color cloud void she’s in prevent her from using her profound strength.
“Ahhh…you’re finally here. I was lonely in here for three thousand years and finally someone came. Lucky me…..!!!”
Her eyes widen as she heard an unfamiliar voice came from within the color cloud void. All of a sudden, the color cloud around her started converging into a single position earning her curious glance. Then, bright lights stared flickering around the converging color cloud before forming a single entity resembling a woman. But, it wasn’t entirely a woman as the shape of the figure is more like a thirteen or fifteen-year-old girl. The girl was wearing an ancient robe with multiple accessories on her black hair. Her beautiful features even attracted Cang Yue as she witnesses a beauty comparable to Mio and Retsu especially her cute buŧŧon nose, swirling eyes, creamy white skin and small loli mouth.
If Yun Che were here, he would have recognized this figure immediately as this is the figure that he sent to the afterlife a few days ago.
The figure slowly floats towards her before raising her hand earning Cang Yue’s attention. “YOHO!! You must be Cang Yue, am I right?”
“….” Cang Yue was entirely speechless when she saw a teen girl suddenly came from the color cloud as if she was formed by the void. Of all the super natural powers she witnessed, this is the first time she saw such feat performed by someone. Moreover, she even knew her.
Seeing the red headed girl was quiet, the spirit snapped her fingers in front of her face as she spoke “What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?”
Cang Yue instantly regained her bearings before she muttered a few words. “I…. Who are you…? How do you know who I am?”
*FLICK
Cang Yue suddenly felt a flick on her forehead as she saw the loli figure in front of her flicked her forehead with a look of annoyance. Then, she just sighs as Cang Yue really don’t know this girl. “*Sigh…. I guess this is your first time seeing me.” She suddenly floats in front of her before forming two fingers and wave them at her. What puzzles Cang Yue was this girl was actually being happy go lucky instead of serious in this situation. “I am Huan Xuyi!!! The Moon Empress of the Blue Wind Empire!!”
Seeing the form of the Moon Empress, Cang Yue was entirely disbelieved but her brain was enough to register what happened and think logically according to the situation. “Ehh?? Moon Empress? I thought she was dead three thousand years ago.”
“Eheee, busted… I was hoping to trick you but you’re more sharp than I thought. Eheee, I am not entirely her but she did say I can take her form as my own. You can call me Yuyun. I am her guardian spirit. ” Technically, there’s no way for the Xuyi to be here as Yun Che sent her to the afterlife but Cang Yue doesn’t know about that. She developed her own personal AI or artificial intelligence as her companion. Since she didn’t have any friends so she builds her own. A friend serves as her companion until the day she passed away.
“Yuyun? That’s a cute name for you.” Cang Yue happily spoke before she realized that she was in front of a spiritual being but instead of being ridiculed, the spirit happily replied “Right? Ehee…… I serve the Moon Empress back then before she passed peacefully to the afterlife and you can say I am the embodiment of her will and spirit.”
Cang Yue nodded her head in understanding. At least she knew the being in front of her is a spiritual being created by the Moon Empress. No wonder she could share her appearance and she admitted that the Moon Empress was really beautiful. “You served the Moon Empress? It means you’re over two thousand years old?!?”
“Almost three actually, she created me and this place when she was younger so you can also say I am the guardian of this place. What? You never seen a person aged over three thousand years?”
“…..” Cang Yue was entirely speechless again. This spirit of the Moon Empress named Yuyun just make that three thousand years old look like a joke to her. Did she forget that she’s a spirit? This is a lot to take in even for her. One, Yuyun is a spirit created by the Moon Empress to supervise her training to become her successor. Two, she also created this mystical realm with an unknown purpose and three, the Moon Empress’s name is Huan Xuyi? She never knew her real name as she was known as the Moon Empress in the palace’s archive. This is the first time she heard such information but she ȧssumed that Yun Che already knew about this when he obtained the feather for her. Finally, she knew how the Moon Empress looked like when she was a teen girl.
Yuyun regained her bearings once more before she spoke with a happy tone. “I ȧssume you know the Moon Empress, She’s my former master that I serve for as long as I can remember. Before she died, she left me a message to train her successor that might serve as my new master. I never expect that successor would be you…. Then again, you really are her spitting image.”
“What are you talking about?” Cang Yue was puzzled as she doesn’t know who is she talking about. ‘Look like her?’ She doesn’t even looked like the Moon Empress.
Yuyun flicks her head once more without any warning.”*Sigh…. Do I have to explain everything to you? I thought you were a genius. To think a person like you would soon become my master.”
“… What’s with this girl?” Cang Yue wanted to retort but she keep all those words to herself as Yuyun is the guardian spirit of this realm and she doesn’t even have the strength to resist her.
“I guess you know this woman.” The spitting spirit image of Huan Xuyi named Yuyun suddenly waved her hand in the air. Suddenly, the color cloud around her started converging in front of Cang Yue once more before forming into a figure of a woman once more but this time, it was enough to surprise Cang Yue.
What she saw in front of her was woman dressed in ancient robe with a waist long fuchsia hair just like her. She’s was entirely a beauty from the ancient era of the Moon Empress. With perfect body proportion as well as having a greater beauty than her own. Compare to the women around the Empire nowadays, this woman far surpassed them by a large margin. More importantly, she looks entirely just like her as if she was looking at a mirror. Only older, mȧturė and beautiful. “This is……me?”
*flick
Yuyun gave her another flick before floating around her. “Not entirely you… you dumb-dumb. This is your ancestor, Cang Xue. The first and only disciple of my master. Needless to say, she looks just like you. Only older.”
Cang Yue was really surprised. To think that the ancestor that she heard of was the woman in front of her. She really do looks like her. Entirely like her. She thought this was her future self or illusion she had to fight but never expected that someone will be her ancestor. Seeing Cang Yue’s expression, Yuyun continued “When my master showed you to me back then, I thought she was revived somehow but turns out, you’re her descendant three thousand years into the future. And you’re finally here.”
“You knew about me a long time ago?” Cang Yue had shocked expression plastered to her face. It means her existence was acknowledged by Yuyun and her master thousands of years ago. All of it were exactly pointing to this very day.
“Ehehee…Surprised? My master knew a lot of things, you know? She had a spectacular sight that has the ability to see into the future and that’s when she saw you. Her successor that has the ability to surpass her.” Yuyun explained to her causing another shocking look from Cang Yue. She never knew the Moon Empress had that kind of spectacular sight. Moreover, she knew she would exist into the future and tasked Yuyun to guide her. Then, a shocking statement came into her head. “Then, she knew Yun Che would enter the tomb for me. So this feather was prepared a long time ago just for me?!?”
Yuyun isn’t going to explain how her master knew about her as the information was classified. Its enough for her to know this is the successor she referred back then. “Your ancestor wasn’t like you actually. She started her cultivation after she had her children and can be considered the worse time to start cultivating. Thirty years old can be considered late and she’s no genius, you know? If she started that late, her cultivation might enter Nascent Profound Realm at her best but, if a span of a year and a few months…. She jumped from Elementary Profound Realm into the Peak of Sky Profound Realm. Too bad she wasn’t able to enter the later stage of mortal realm. All of it came from the Mirror of the Moon God Technique.”
“Mirror of the Moon God?” Cang Yue was puzzled.
“Hehehe….I am sure you heard about her cultivation technique? It’s a cultivation technique created by my master back then and passed to your ancestor but she failed to cultivate the technique to its highest potential. I really hope you won’t fail my master’s expectation.” Yuyun had high expectation for this girl. She was chosen before she was born and she did’t want to waste her master prophecy on some girl.
Then, Cang Yue started doubting herself once more. “….. even my ancestor failed…. What makes you think I have a chance? I am no genius…. I am just an ordinary cultivator. I can’t even stand together with my monstrous friends. I didn’t even obtain this inheritance on my own. I maybe my ancestor’s descendant… but I think you got the wrong person…”
*Flick
Cang Yue was startled again as Yuyun flicked her forehead again. She has to stop doing that but that flick knocked some sense into her. She holds the bridge of her nose criticizing her. “*Sigh….. Despite my doubts towards you…. You really the type of person who stood on the sidelines and let your friends do the fighting for you. Have you ever thought to stand next to them? Do you think your ancestor was a top tier genius? No…. She’s not even a cultivator. Do you want to know why did my master chose her?” Her question shuts Cang Yue up before she continued “She had more determination than any other cultivator out there. Of all the geniuses from her era, she chose an ordinary person as her successor. Trust me…. She was just like you when my master chose her. Doubting herself whether she could become her successor. In the end, she became the most powerful cultivator underneath the Sky Profound Realm.”
“But, she failed in the end right?” Cang Yue expressed her thoughts. She didn’t want Yuyun or the Moon Empress to make a grave mistake by choosing her.
Yuyun sighs again before forming images of the past where Cang Xue battles were recorded by the Apple including the day she died in the antimatter explosion back then. Her reactions were practically same as Yun Che when he saw the images himself but when she saw she died a tragic death, she felt absolute guild seeing her sacrifice that would ensure her current existence as she too once thought she’s a failure. “It’s because of my master’s enemies back then. Powerful people tend to offend some during their reign. When she was alive, no one dare messed with the Blue Wind Empire but your ancestor was the first one they seek as she was my master’s disciple after she died. To prevent any of your family back then hunted by those powerful sects, she drives the enemies away and sacrifice herself to secure your existence. When Cang Xue died, the remnants of the powerful sect killed every last high level cultivators of the Blue Wind Empire reducing them from the strongest to the weakest empire in an instant.”
As Cang Yue reviewed the images, Yuyun followed Xuyi’s instruction of never revealing the fact about the Apple of Eden to Cang Yue. The images she saw was enough to turn Cang Yue’s image of her ancestor around. Seeing Cang Yue tearing up after seeing her sacrifice, Yuyun tap her shoulder to ease her. “She never failed Cang Yue, she was not strong enough to fend them off but I am here to make sure your fate will not end up like hers.”
“…..” After hearing the rest of the story, Cang Yue was in a dilemma. She was a sheltered girl and never knew the meaning of hardship. Is this her ancestor’s great descendant? Her brothers might be good for nothing but that doesn’t mean she is one as well. For all these times, she thought her ancestor was the failure of her family but she didn’t know about this. All she read was other people’s version about her but Yuyun gave her the true history even showing images and glimpses of her past. She will never know how she got all these histories and images but she did know one thing.
Her ancestor was never a failure.
With her new determination, she bow in front of the Moon Empress’s AI spirit and spoke “Yuyun, please….. train me to become just like her…. I want to stand next to my friends and be a great help to them. Yun Che risked his life to enter the tomb for me and I don’t want to waste his effort.”
Yuyun float around her once more before she spoke in a happy tone. “Eheehee…. That’s the spirit. You must really love this guy for you to go this far…”
“Eh… I…..” Cang Yue was instantly taken aback. Despite have absolute determination, she was the same as her ancestor when it comes to love. She just realized that everything she became right now is all because of him. If she gave up now, she’ll disappoint her sisters and him.
Yuyun raised one of her hand to signal Cang Yue to shut it. “Save it…. Ahh… I wonder if I one day able to experience love as well…. your ancestor was practically the same as you. She always blushes when I mentioned her husband. Years after marriage and still acts like a newlywed with him. Maybe you can try acting like newlyweds with him in the future.”
“Newlyweds?!?!” Cang Yue blushed furiously upon thinking her life with him. She’s the older one, why did she became like this when it came to him? She was supposed to be his senior sister but now, she’s just a little kitten in front of him.
Yuyun snapped her fingers again to gain her attention. “Anyway, I suppose to relay my master’s message to you but I don’t think I need to do that anymore. She passed down this technique especially you because you remind her of her first disciple. She wanted you to became the Blue Moon Empress she predicts you would be.”
“Blue Moon Empress?”
“Actually, it was the wish of that boy you like? Yun Che, am I right?”
“Yun Che…. wanted me to became the Blue Moon Empress?”Cang Yue went into thinking again. Blue Moon Empress is not some title he would gave her. Its a title he wants her to be.That kind of title can be considered heavy but imagine what kind of power she can accomplished. More importantly, she wanted to honor that destiny so Yun Che could have the Blue Moon Empress as his companion. More importantly, his partner in life. He wouldn’t want some weak woman to stood next to him. It’s about time she rise.
“Originally I wanted to mold you into my ideal master but she told me to let you cultivate in your own pace, techniques and ways. But, I am sure that Yun Che boy will train you according to your needs but that’ll come later. You should start training right now. You’ve been unconscious for two days straight. Your friends have been taking care of your body ever since.”
Hearing such statement, she was in shock again. “Ehhh?!?! My body? What are you talking about?” Isn’t her body is here right now? Why did she say such things.
“Your body is in the real world, you dumb-dumb. The body you are in right now is your consciousness in this mystical world. Aside from the Mirror of the Moon God, this world is your inheritance, little Yue…. The Moon Empress’s gift for you.” Yuyun revealed the Moon Empress’s gift to her. It wasn’t just a technique. She gave her this small realm.
Cang Yue darted her eyes all over the mystical world trying to understand it but she couldn’t. Why is the Empress giving her this small world? Moreover, how powerful was she as she was able to build such a world as a peak Monarch. “What is this mystical world?”
“Hehehe…. This is the world the Moon Empress created inside the feather she prepared for you. Now that the world merged with your soul, it became yours. This is the Hyperbolic Moon World. The world where you can train your body and techniques to your heart’s content without restriction and you can even store excess Moon Energy in here to use in your cultivation. Technically, this is your own personal training world and only you could access it.”
“My own Moon World?” She muttered quietly. This is a priceless gift. A realm of her own? It might be small but it was enough for her to be grateful for this gift of hers.
“The Moon World serves as a training dimension for the Moon Empress to enhance her techniques and cultivation without travelling to different places for training. It only available to you and only you. Don’t tell it to others unless you want to get yourself in trouble. When you’re in here, the Moon Energy will preserve your body on the outside. All the fruits of your training and cultivation will instantly enhanced your body in the real world as if you were training your real body all this time. In here, your understanding will be faster and clearer compared to the outside world. In short, your training in here will be twice as faster. Moreover, I am your friend in this world from now on.”
Cang Yue was still speechless about the Moon Empress’s gift. A technique and a world? Her own personal training world. If this were known, she could really be hunted for it. So, she must possess enough strength to prevent such a thing. “I can train in here until I am better?”
“Yes…. little Yue….. I can help you spawn training dummies to help you with your training. Be it a human, demon or beast. As long as there’s Moon Energy in here, I can use some of it to form dummies for you. But, bear in mind that the flow of time in this world is the same as the real world so be mindful of your time in here.” Yuyun explained to her as the Moon Empress once thought that it is useless to have the strength if she doesn’t have the experience to use it. So, the Moon Empress develops a method for Yuyun to spawn enemies in this realm to help her to gain experience. Stronger enemies needed more Moon Energy to spawn so she had to stack up lots and lots of energy to develop her experience. Moreover, she had to train somewhere to escape Ares’s detection so she hid most of her time in this world. Training her sealing arts without Ares knowing but after she died, she could no longer access her training realm as a soul as she didn’t have a physical body. So, she sealed Yuyun and the mystical world within the feather awaiting the day Yun Che would arrive to see her.
“Eh?!?! Then, everyone in the real world must be worried about me. Can I at least go out for a while and reassure them?” Cang Yue remembered that she’s been unconscious for two days. While in here, she’s cut off from the outside world and everyone must be worried about her.
Yuyun put a finger on her chin while do a little thinking. “I guess…..” Hearing her response, Cang Yue wanted to go out and see her friends and tell them about this. “Thank go….”
“Not…” She smiled evilly while floating in front of her.
“Ehhh?”
“Hehe…. Little Yue…. You can leave and enter this mystical world anytime once your training is complete but until you completed your cultivation on the Mirror of the Moon God Technique, you’ll be stuck in here.” As Cang Yue heard her explanation, she had no choice but to learn the mirror technique and develop her body. She has lots to learn until the upcoming tournament.
“Then….if my ancestor could do it… I should be able to do it to….” Cang Yue wanted to start this as soon as possible before she could go back but Yuyun really likes to slumped her down as soon as she regained some motivation. She might make it a habit after this. “Woah there… little Yue, I hate to break it you but you need to undergo a few stages of purification before you could birth your own mirror in your profound core.”
“Ehh!!!, you never told me about this.” She shouted as she never knew she had to undergo those stages. It could take weeks or months depend on her talent.
“I was going to, you dumb-dumb. To ensure your body won’t explode by the constant intake of the Yin Energy from the Moon, you must purify your body to the highest state before the mirror could form. You must strengthened your bones, cleanse your marrows, purify your profound strength as well as enhanced your profound veins and core. You must achieve all these four stages before you can birth your own mirror in your profound core.” Yuyun explained the four stages before she could start cultivating the mirror.
Cang Yue listened while floating in the air as she tried to understand the requirement for her cultivation but she couldn’t help but asked “What is mirror are you talking about?”
*Sigh…. The mirror you will develop later converts the Moon Energy from the moon into pure Yin Energy to enhance your cultivation. Pure Yin Energy is ten times stronger than ordinary Yin Energy and only the Mirror of the Moon God can create such a wonder and I think I have some bad news for you.” Yuyun floated around her before she started explaining the nature of the Mirror of the Moon God. The mirror is quite picky about the body conditions Cang Yue must achieve before she could absorb the Moon Energy. To successfully cultivate the Mirror of the Moon God, she must start as a powerless mortal but now that she achieved Peak of Spirit Profound Realm, she was reluctant to give up her cultivation.
However, Yuyun won’t destroy her cultivation to form a new profound core but that’s why all the previous four stages are needed. Yuyun will use the Moon Energy her master previously gathered to tampered Cang Yue’s body to achieve the four stages. When she achieved them, she can create her own mirror within her profound core. But, the mirror will take its time to purify as well as rebuilt her entire body and profound core slowly before it could absorb the energy of the Moon. What shocks her again that the process needed at least six months for the body to achieve the suitable state for the mirror and the development of the profound core to begin its absorption.
“Basically, you need to have a special body of your own for the Moon Energy to achieve its highest potential. Even my master or your ancestor didn’t even have this body. My master perfected this body when she was spending her final days in order to maximized the Moon Energy’s power as well as evolved her own profound core and veins. Now, you’re the first one ever will successfully achieve this. She called it the Yin Lunar Body.”
“Yin Lunar Body?”
“That Yun boy and his girls had their own special bodies and powers. It doesn’t mean you couldn’t have a power of your own. The Yin Lunar Body will evolve your Profound Core and veins into Moon God’s core and Moon Veins inside your body. The body needed at least six months to form completely by the mirror so your cultivation is stagnated until then but I could at least enhance your cultivation until the First Level of the Earth Profound Realm and that’s all. I can’t risk increasing the stagnation length. The stronger your cultivation, the more time you need to form the Yin Lunar Body.” As she explained the nature of the new body she would acquire, Cang Yue was worried that her cultivation must be stagnated until then. She really hope that the First Level of the Earth Profound Realm is enough for her in the tournament.
Then, she continued “So, until you achieved Bone Strengthening, Marrow Cleansing, Profound Strength Purification and Core Enhancement, you will be stuck in here.” Basically, she must achieve these four stages before the development of the Yin Lunar Body can begin. By the time she woke up back in the realm world, she would break through to the Earth Profound Realm and her next one will be after her new body is finished.
“Ehh?!? That’ll take weeks….” Cang Yue was kind of worried her talents was not that good in terms of cultivating. Moreover, she hasn’t started her training yet and in another two months, the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament will begin and she was still lacking in terms of techniques. She remembered Yun Che promised to teach her some powerful moves but she must first breakthrough to the Earth Profound Realm.
“Then, you better get started.” Yuyun happily spoke pressing the basic formula of the mirror into her forehead before she slowly floats away leaving her on her own. Cang Yue floats in depression knowing this would be a hellish week for her but she had to endure it for the sake of becoming a proper companion for the others. The Moon Empress, Yuyun, and her friends are counting on her but she was not going to disappoint them.
…………
“What the heck?” The words were uttered by Yun Che as he read the display showed above Xueli’s head. As usual, she was clueless by the rest of them stared with a shocked expression. The first display was hovering above Xueli head as the newly acquired data put him and the others into shock as they read it.
[Name: Huan Xueli]
[Age: 10]
[Cultivation: Inactive]
[Race: Human Isu Hybrid]
At first, none of them tried to voice out their opinions as they saw the notification but Yun Che was the first one to break the silence. “Human Isu Hybrid?!?! That’s impossible…. Xuyi never had a descendant and more importantly there’s not even one Isu exist in physical condition. System, are you sure she’s a human Isu hybrid?”
[Ding…. The system is sure.]
“Then, how??? her mother doesn’t even have a trace of an Isu Bloodline or body just like Ares from before. Is it her father? Could it be possible…? He immediately speculates that Xueli’s father could be a pure blooded Isu but Ares is the only one came from the Profound Sky Continent’s piece of Eden and he was entirely sealed.” Moreover, the Apple did tell that Xuyi never had descendants so Ares couldn’t even pass the Isu Bloodline to another. What puzzles him that the Isu race was only a consciousness in a soul form. Creating a bloodline would be impossible unless they created it in a lab and infused it on someone.
[Her body was entirely human but she possessed the capability to harness and store a unique profound energy core inside her. This is why system classified her as a human Isu hybrid.]
“Unique Profound Energy core?” Yun Che was puzzled by this revelation.
[Host can make his conclusion once the host see her mother’s data.]
Yun Che instantly click the notification above Xueli’s mother and the same thing plastered on his face.
[Name: ???]
[Age: ???]
[Race: Ascended Human (Divine State)]
[Cultivation State: Sealed (Unknown)]
[Memory State: Sealed]
[Current Health Condition: Eternal Sleep]
This condition is caused when the host’s energy is being siphoned continuously by a powerful energy core. This state activated itself to prevent the host’s life force from being siphoned as soon as her energy ran out. Host can remove this state using the Status Recovery and recover her lot energy but host must prevent the energy core from siphoning her energy once she recovered or else she will be reduced back to this state again.
If he was the original Yun Che, he would be speechless and puzzled but the current him knew about Divine Cultivators before he came into this world and so far, only Jasmine is the Divine cultivator he knew. He never expects to meet another in a span of few years ever since he came into this world. “……. What the heck?!? Are you saying the woman in front of us….. Is a Divine Cultivator?”
[Yes]
He instantly calmed down before internally spoke “Jasmine…..”
It took a while before his call was through and Jasmine’s voice was instantly heard “What is it? I was in the middle of something with Kuroyuki.” Jasmine instantly came out as he called her. She heard that it was really serious and needed her consultation. She went back this morning as Kuroyuki had few more outfits made for her and she couldn’t wait to try it out.
“What do you think about her?”
Jasmine sighs as this lecher wanted to show another woman to her. “Another woman? Seriously, you need to sto…”
“No…. not that…..” He pointed towards the notification which also earned another shocking gaze from Jasmine. “A Divine Cultivator?!?!? How could a live Divine Cultivator ended up in this realm?”
“Yeah, a Divine Cultivator with an Eternal Sleep Disorder.” Yun Che spoke earning the attention of the all the girls with him.
“Eternal Sleep?” Jasmine spoke with great interest. It’s the first time she heard someone could sleep eternally without waking up.
“From the system, it is a condition where her body will be shut down to protect her life force from being siphoned. It says here that her current condition was caused by a powerful energy core that keep siphoning her energy but the Eternal Sleep was activated to prevent the core from siphoning her life force. If she didn’t have this disorder, she might have died a few years ago. Probably came from her divine body.”
Jasmine floated over the woman’s head to get her chance to examine the poor woman. She checks her body condition before pressing her palm on the woman’s forehead. “This……. Is a God Profound Seal?”
“God Profound Seal?”
“It’s a formation from the Realm of the Gods that has the ability to seal someone cultivation and memories. Usually to force someone out of their star realm or to ‘kill’ them off without actually killing them. If my hunch was right, this woman fled the Realm of the Gods and ended up in this realm. She was attacked before her profound strength was sealed entirely.” As Jasmine explained, Yun Che understood her words. In this world, a person loses his or her cultivation will live a life much worse than death.
“Sigh… So technically, we have another Qingyue situation in our hands. I thought one is a handful already.” He sarcastically made his remark since Xueli’s current situation is the same as Xia Qingyue but her mother fled back to her star realm while Xueli’s mother remained here. The rest of the girls knew about Xia Qingyue as well as Jasmine. She was puzzled at first on how did he knew about Xia Qingyue’s mother in the first place and he explained that he found out through the system. Why would those siblings have those kind of special profound veins in their body.
Jasmine nodded her head before she spoke “But, she’s still here and the God Sealing Formation is still within her. So, unless she manages to break the seal and regain her cultivation, she is still a mortal.”
“But, how could she enter the barrier?” Retsu asked with interest.
“One uniqueness about this formation is once the person’s cultivation and memories were sealed. They became ordinary mortals. All their powers, body techniques, cultivation instantly sealed and turned their bodies into the body of an ordinary human. But, that doesn’t mean it’s entirely sealed. So, if she didn’t stumble this barrier, she might be killed by other means or even captured by any other men from this star realm because of her divine beauty.” Jasmine explained as she too experienced her life turned into a mortal at the beginning. If it weren’t for her divine soul, she would lost her cultivation and awaiting the day she would perish.
Yun Che nodded his head as he imagined the hardship of ordinary humans has to face in this world. Xuyi did a wonderful thing establishing this kind of barrier. Any non-cultivator humans exist but that doesn’t mean all non-cultivators are good people. He spoke and make his conclusion based on all his readings on this kind of situation. “The barrier accepts any non-cultivator into its realm. If her story indeed is the same as Qingyue, it means her father probably from this city. He probably found her somewhere outside the barrier and carried her in here and nurse her back to health. They fell in love, marry and had Xueli as their daughter. Typical star crossed love story where a human fell in love with an ascended human.”
Jasmine looked at him with doubtful eyes as he said that kind of love story is typical but she didn’t want to ask questions about it. “Be that as it may but how do you know this is a Divine Cultivator?”
“The system of course and because of this kid. She’s a human Isu Hybrid.” He shows her the sobbing Xueli in his arms.
Jasmine was shocked for a moment and thought the girl they found in the forest was only a normal human. To think that she carried that much secret in her. “A human Isu? Her father’s an Isu?”
“No…. Not necessary. A hybrid doesn’t mean a union between men and women produced a different being. Well technically, she is a hybrid between a normal human and an ascended but we’re not talking about that. The system said her Isu powers were innately build into her while she herself remain a human. Her body might have some powerful effects from her mother but her father is only an ordinary human. The system said that she has a unique radiant type profound energy core inside her. That’s why it calls her a hybrid.” Then, all of a sudden… Yun Che was struck with realization. “Wait…wait… unique profound energy core, siphoned….. Eternal Sleep….. Don’t tell me?!?”
Unaware that Yun Che had some kind of dilemma, Jasmine simply asked “So, she probably attained her Isu powers from somewhere? This is a lot to take in. To think the little kid you found in the forest is this unique.”
Retsu was still scanning for any abnormalities in her mother but she didn’t find anything. No wonder she had no sickness in that body. She was an ascended all along. “She did say that her voice is a gentle but dangerous. That’s why Yuu-kun have the system scanned her and her mother. To think that fate has brought us to them.”
Yun Che was still under dilemma but he refused to believe it. To make sure his ȧssumptions were correct, he immediately accessed his system. “System, can you scan Xueli’s uniqueness?” As he ordered the system, a notification suddenly pops in front of them and all five pair of eyes widen in disbelieved.
[Ding….. Data obtained. Synchronizing the data gained from the Apple of Eden. These are Xueli’s Unique abilities:
a) Voice of All Things – Based on the Apple of Eden, Xueli can hear the thoughts of animals in her head as well as communicating with them. She refers them as ‘her voice’. Last night, system had detected a fluctuation came from her when she screamed. Under the system’s control, The Apple was able to block her powers if she is within its vicinity. This is because the Apple is now under the host’s control and can be used to nullify any Isu related powers.
“What in the world? Voice of all things? It exist here as well?” Based on the system, the Voice of All Things is a unique ability came from One Piece. An ability to allow the host to hear the thoughts of inanimate objects or animals. Only few people in that world had such power and it is much rarer than Haoshoku No Haki. To think that the thing was hurting her throat was entirely this thing all along. No wonder she could hear those bandits from far away and could get away in time. Then, he was struck with another realization. If her powers were nullified by the Apple, it means the voice was suppressed by it and she could no longer use it to find her way back. That’s why she was following them last night as she was lost without its help.
But, come to think of it. Those abilities weren’t supposed to exist unless the system allows it to. So how come she possessed it? Maybe it does exist and it was known by another name. Just like Busoshoku No Haki was known as Ryou in Wano Kingdom. Anyway, it was probably evolved from her mother’s power and her own radiant power to coincidentally gave birth to it.
Then, he reads the next thing in the list…..
b) Profound Radiant Core – A merging of two separate powers came from the surrounding Radiant Force and her mother’s divine powers enable her to use Profound Arts and Isu arts just like host. Currently, the core is inactive due to her zero knowledge of cultivation and because of it, the core siphons nearby host with powerful energy to empower itself. Despite all of that, the core is now 50% complete and it took one whole year just to complete 5%. Once it is complete, Xueli will became a human god among mortals as the energy core will empower her powers much stronger than ordinary cultivators.
“So that’s how it is. Turns out, Xueli was the one who siphoned her mother’s power without her knowledge.” He understood that Divine Cultivators might be sealed into an ordinary mortal but they still have some of the qualities inside them. How else Yuanba and Qingyue have those mystical veins inside them. Their mother is a special being while their father is a human. Same as Xueli’s situation.
” Yuu-kun, If the Eternal Sleep didn’t activate, she would die and Xueli would be devastated if she found out she was siphoning her mother all this time. Her mother probably didn’t even realize her energy was being siphoned by her.”Retsu made her remark as she gently ċȧrėssed Xueli’s mother with care.
“System, is there any way to overwrite the siphoning?” He asked the system.
[Ding…. Currently host and the others are protected by the Apple so Xueli can’t siphoned anyone under the apple’s protection. However, host can tamper with the Profound Radiant Core and override its coding. Currently, Xueli can’t even control her profound core and the core formation isn’t yet completed. It is up to the host to tamper her core’s coding.]
“I’ll deal with it later but right now, how did she obtained Radiant Force?”
[System has detected similar powers came from the central floating island above the city. System can ȧssume that her mother probably absorbed the excess Radiant Force due to her divine body qualities without her knowing. The Radiant Force merged with her powers thus created a powerful energy core when she was pregnant with Xueli.]
He nodded in understanding before reading the notification once more. Looks like Xueli had more unique qualities born from Radiant Force effects.
c) Nine Star Exquisite Veins – Birth from her mother, the Radiant Force fuse with her mother’s essence to create a unique profound veins within her that has the ability to generate Radiant Force similar to the host’s Radiant Saint Force. This vein has constant purification ability thus making her energy pure. In addition, her unique veins come with a complete opening of all profound gates. Based on the Apple, Radiant Force can only be absorb by Isu members but she can generate it infinitely just like the host. The veins have absolute authority over light energy, lightning and flame arts. Nine Star Exquisite Veins have authority over Pieces of Eden as well.
Yun Che nodded his head as he read the notification. “*Whistle… Well, Jasmine… We found ourselves a genius mortal. To think that this sweet girl houses a powerful ability within her.” As Jasmine read the notification, she instantly knew there’s someone in here has the authority over the pieces of Eden just like Yun Che. If Ares were to know her existence, she would be instantly hunted by him to obtain her body. Jasmine nodded her head before she made a conclusion and spoke “We must let her cultivate. Such a talent must not lay waste.”
Yun Che was about to say the same thing but another notification stops him.
[Ding…. System has to stop you there. It is wise the host must allow the core formation to be complete on its own. Its absorption speed is already set the moment she was born and the energy is currently used by the core to tamper her body. If she started cultivating right now, the core will destabilize and self-destruct before killing her and engulf the city with a massive explosion. Host must remember she’s been siphoning Divine Energy from her mother. Imagine what happen if such energy explodes in an instant.]
“So, how long she has to wait to achieve suitable age for cultivation?”
[She must achieve 20 years old to cultivate as that’s the moment when the core formation is complete. It is necessary and compulsory. When the core formation is complete, her path towards cultivation will be smoother and she can achieve Divine Profound Realm in just two years. Once she achieved the age, the essence will activate itself before fusing with the unique profound core and veins to transform the host into an immortal human and giving birth to Divine Isu Exquisite Body.]
Yun Che was speechless for a moment as he heard another powerful body resides within Xueli this entire time.”Okay….this is new….. What in the world is a Divine Isu Exquisite Body?”
[Ding… Based on the Apple of Eden and the profound knowledge in the host’s memory, the Divine Isu Exquisite Body is a pure Isu blooded body with a divine capabilities. The body will be much stronger than ordinary body and will be able to use Radiant Force infinitely as long as she could stack them up. Moreover, the core will continuously grow stronger and absorb more power from her surroundings and she could use the surrounding lights to cultivate. Host must find a suitable light cultivation art for her to learn as a Divine Isu Exquisite Body is an embodiment of light itself.]
“…….” The rest of them were speechless because of this revelation. A new unique divine body will be created the moment she achieved 20 years old. That’s ten years from now. He can’t force her to cultivate but he could at least make something for her and her mother to protect themselves. Her mother might be a Divine but she’s a mortal for now.
Technically right now, Retsu had the embodiment of blood with Yin and Yang powers inside her while Mio had the embodiment of space and darkness. Both of them will continue to grow in the future just like him. Now, little Xueli had great powers inside her as well. Imagine the powers they could wield in the future. Jasmine was entirely speechless but she managed to blurt out her thoughts. “Whatever this Divine Isu Exquisite Body is… I am sure we will find out ten years later. Right now, I am tasking you to guide this child.”
Yun Che ruffled Xueli’s forehead causing her to smile as he spoke internally “You can say that again after ten years. Right now…”
He turned her head towards her mother before back to Xueli. To think that fate really ties them together on this part. “Wow….Cang Yue needed two years to achieve Sovereign Profound Realm while Xueli needed two years to achieve Divine Stage. The Isu really are powerful in terms of cultivation. No wonder they wanted to conquer this world. It means she indirectly created her own version of Isu Bloodline? Bloody hell…….”
“Yuu-kun. Imagine, the things she could achieved. A child born from a divine cultivator merged with innate Isu powers could produce this much.” Retsu was entirely amazed on what she had learnt. In ten years time, this girl might become the most powerful human in this world.
“Danna-sama, this is really too much to take in.” Mio was entirely amazed as well before she continued “But….. that’s about it right?”
“I am not so sure about that…..” He displayed the last notification above Xueli’s head.
d) Innate Essence of Immortality – A Legendary Isu Art came from the Apple of Eden’s library that only the highest Isu members has the ability to cultivate. This art wasn’t cultivated by Xueli but it was built into her by accident. This art turned its host into immortal and young state as long as she has the energy to sustain it. This art also has the ability prolong the life of people she trusted as well as keeping them youthful. For the Isu race, this art is a double edge sword that uses the host’s life force in exchange to prolong their people’s life but due to Xueli’s unique profound veins and profound core, it’s a different story when it comes to her. She simply uses the Radiant Energy to prolong people’s life without using her own life force.
“*Whistle……. I am not going to say anything about this.” But in his head, there’s a lot of question. How could she learnt it? It’s an lost Isu art obtainable by the Apple of Eden. The Apple was lost and hidden from the continent for one thousand years. By his opinion, the Moon Empress or Xuyi might engrave an art from the Apple into a form of an energy to preserve it and she was confident that without Radiant Energy, no one can learn this art. The moment Xueli’s mother absorb the energy from somewhere, the art integrated itself into her child as Xueli’s unique body was formed when she was still inside her mother. It can be an accident or even a coincidence.
“Anyone she trusted will be blessed by her with eternal youth?” Retsu was amazed once more as she never knew such an art exist.
“Only if you’re close to her.” Yun Che summarized his findings on the art. Basically, if Xueli likes them. She’ll blessed them with the art’s power indirectly.
“Anyway, my question is… who is this woman? What star realm she came from? Why did she come into this realm?” Jasmine was still puzzled. She never knew this woman even if her star realm was the highest plane of existence in the realm of the gods. She basically know almost everyone and memorized all their faces but never before she seen such a person in the Realm of the Gods.
“I was hoping you can tell me that. She must be some famous person from a powerful star realm.” Yun Che tried to access his trivia in hopes to find anything related to her but nothing so far. Looks like the Isu is not the only thing new in this new world he’s in.
“Maybe we’ll find out after we healed her.” Mio suggested.
“Even if we can…. She can only remember her life as a mortal and being Xueli’s mother as well as the people of this city. Looks like we’re back on square one on this part.” He spoke unaware that he use another modern world terminology. Based on Jasmine’s explanation, the God Profound Seal really did its job in sealing the memory of Xueli’s mother. Maybe one day, the seal will broke on its own releasing all her powers into the world. He hoped that day doesn’t arrive too soon.
Xueli noticed that Yun Che and others were suddenly quiet as she couldn’t hear any of their internal conversation. She tugged his robe gaining his attention. She looked at him with her big puppy eyes before she spoke with a hopeful tone. “Big brother……..Can mama wake up again like before? Can you heal mama?”
“Of course I can…. but first, big brother need to healed Xueli.”
“Healed? Xueli’s sick?” She asked with a puzzled expression.
“No…. but Xueli said that her voice is dangerous. Big brother can remove the voice’s power so Xueli can use her voice freely.” He shook his head as he spoke to her. The system can decode and edit the configuration of her powers but at the same time, he wanted to do something about her profound core before he can start healing her mother. The system’s editing feature can be a handful sometimes.
With a hopeful expression, she soften her beautiful small eyes. “It won’t hurt anymore?”
“Yes…. But you need to close your eyes and never open them until I say so.”
“Hnnn….Xueli trust big brother.” She nodded before obediently sits in front of him.
“Now, close your eyes.” In an instant, he pointed his palm before enabling the system to hack into Xueli’s profound core. Due to the core’s formation was still incomplete and he had the Apple of Eden, the system was able to hack its powers and he could see the configuration in front of him in the form of computer codes. Naturally, Xueli can’t even see the configuration notification but Jasmine and the others weren’t being able to understand a single one of those codes. They decided to keep quiet and let him do his thing.
“Let’s get hacking.” He stretches his arms before accessing the system’s keyboard feature just like Nemu’s formation from back then. In an instant, he started his programming on Xueli’s profound core. As expected, the core’s absorption rate was set into absorb any nearest source of power it could find and it was still connected to her mother. So, he removed the unnecessary codes before setting the core to absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth energy around them. Despite being in the Isu Barrier, the flow of Heaven and Earth was still smooth so the core is now absorbing the surrounding energy at a normal rate. The best thing was it converts the surrounding energy into Radiant Force which is needed by the profound core to mȧturė. It was a good thing because if its absorption was too fast, the cultivators of the outside might get a whiff and her secrets could be in jeopardy.
Right now, the core is no longer uses her mother as a medium of absorption. She might have the Nine Star Exquisite Veins but those veins will activate the moment the core mȧturės so until she’s 20 years old, She’s just an ordinary mortal. As for her voice, he decodes them to activate itself if she really needed it and release the full control to Xueli once she achieved 20 years old.
“And……..done….” He finalized his coding before closing the system feature before making another remark. “Haaa…. It’s been a while since I left programming. I was kind of worried that the codes might cause unwanted side effects though but I hope it doesn’t come to it. System, can I use codes on others?” If he could code the entire human cultivation structure, he could do whatever he pleases with them but the system’s answer was still a disappointment.
[Ding…it’s impossible. The reason programming works on Xueli because of her Isu related powers and the Apple of Eden. System just use the apple to tamper her profound core directly and allow host to code it as it was built with Radiant Energy. As for human profound powers, coding will not work.]
“That sucks….” He was kind of disappointing if coding doesn’t work on humans. He could help any one of his human companions but it might be a good thing after all. It’s better that way.
“I don’t know what you just did…. but I ȧssume her powers are now controllable?” Jasmine asked with a curious expression. She never will be able to understand those codes just now. What kind of brain her has to possessed the ability to code her profound core like that.
He shrugged his shoulders as he spoke “I can’t say controllable as she’s not mȧturė enough to control it yet but she’s okay….”
“Xueli…. you can use your voice now….” As she heard him, she was hesitating for a moment but she tried her best to convey a few words because it’s been a year since she spoke her last words. “Big…brother…”
It was croaked but looks like she finally spoken up. When she realized her throat didn’t hurt as much as a year ago. She tried speaking a few phrases and now sentences. “Big brother…. I can speak… I can speak again…..!!! It doesn’t hurt anymore…” She threw him a hug as she was holding her throat making sure her voice was properly conveyed. Yun Che didn’t tell her about the Apple but he wanted her voice to be as pure as possible. She should learn to have a childhood instead of hardship. Now that’s done, he could finally focus on his next task. “Now…let’s wake her mother up…”
“Yo, everyone….. Looks like we will have some company.” Kon suddenly sounded from outside but before he could ask who it was, he was silenced with a shout. “BRAT!!!! COME OUT HERE AND HAND OVER YOUR LIFE!!!!”
The rest of them knew the owner of that voice. It was the same voice came from that restaurant this afternoon. Instead of having anxious of fearful expression, he held the bridge of his nose and spoke “These guys…. Not again…Haven’t they learn enough?”
