Rules of Heaven - C45
The fire that blotted out the sky and covered the earth and the flickering light seemed to be the final reflection of this world.
This was the last thing Ding Hong could see before he fainted. Because of the sudden change of the fire essence, it couldn’t be led back, which led to the absorption of the fire.
He could only feel the feeling of the flames burning. Dense, undulating lights flickered around his eyes. Tears uncontrollably rolled down his cheeks, filling his eyes and shattering his vision.
Finally, the fire essence finally disappeared, and his soul slowly floated back into his body. But then, a fiery red stone rose up from the altar, and a bright, water-like flame flowed out from it. When the stone rose up, it suddenly let out a “ding” sound and broke into two pieces. One piece floated in the air while the other piece followed Ding Hong’s soul. With Ding Hong’s blurry consciousness, he charged into the Yin Yang formation and, along with the remaining ball of flame, fiercely drilled into Ding Hongtian’s spirit core.
Although the little person had brought the Yin Yang formation with him, it still went in. However, the flames were like water, rushing straight at Ding Hong’s face!
Ding Hong, on the other hand, did not let out a single cry of pain due to the excruciating pain.
After the stone was split in half, the long banners in the pavilion suddenly lit up and shot out streaks of fire. Soon after, a huge head came out from within and bit Ding Hong, then it extended its head out of the pavilion and bit Xihuang before retracting and disappearing.
The pavilion was empty, as if nothing had happened. The tools placed inside the pavilion, however, did not have the slightest trace of being burned.
The Sun Realm.
Beside a lake.
Red sky, red earth, red flowers, trees, even water was red. This was a piece of red land in itself.
The temperature was very high, as if the water was afraid of the heat, so it turned red.
In a pure color world, there shouldn’t have been any other colors.
Yet, this place had appeared. It was as dazzling as ever.
It was a green, tender forest. The forest looked as if it had just been washed clean by the rain, green and glistening. Suddenly, a pair of flawless, slender, jade-like hands stretched out. They plucked a leaf from a tree, placed it next to her dark red lips, and lightly sucked on it.
After the leaf was sucked by her, it instantly turned into a bright red color. Then, it turned into a faint flame on her lips, dissipating on her lips that were even redder than fire.
She frowned, and like a faint picture of a green mountain, she quietly gathered together.
“Big Sister Yuyao, you’re stealing leaves to eat again.” Suddenly, a petite voice was heard from the side.
She turned around and saw a seven or eight year old girl wearing a red cotton-padded jacket. Seeing that it was her, the woman pursed her lips into a smile and said: “Xiao Liannan, why aren’t you looking after that young master and why are you here?”
Liannan curled her cute little mouth and said, “I’m not going to look after him. His face was burnt like that. He’s so ugly.”
Chu Yao narrowed her eyes, revealing a gaze as cold as snow. She slightly reprimanded, “You can’t say that!” She walked up to Lian Nan and adjusted her red robe before squatting down and supporting his shoulder. She said: “If it wasn’t for this young master, your Big Sister Xi Huang would be in danger.”
Liannan snorted and said, “Even without him, Big Sister Ximeng would have been fine! Anyways, since the Holy Mother has already calculated it, that Pei Gui and Gu Tianhong would like to use the blood of Big Sister Xifeng as a sacrifice to the Star Altar Formation. But, didn’t the Holy Mother also want to use that altar to replenish Big Sister Xifeng’s mana? ”
Chu Yao shook her head and said softly, “But that Gu Tian Hong seemed to know something and intentionally changed half of the Essence Fire inside. If Xi Huang were to finish the fire essence on the altar, I’m afraid she will not be able to wake up the fire beasts. ” She thought for a moment and sighed, “If it wasn’t for you, young master, inserting yourself halfway through, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have known that the phoenix was consuming the Flame Essence. It’s just that we pitied that young master, his face was burned by more than half, I wonder how much the Holy Mother can save. ”
Even after hearing everything that Chu Yao had said, Lian Nan still didn’t have any intention of improving his attitude. Her eyes darted around before she said, “Elder sister Chu Yao, let’s go see elder sister Xi Feng. She has been back for half a month already, I wonder if she’s woken up yet.”
Chu Yao nodded and stood up. She held Lian Nan’s hand and smiled: “Let’s go.”
Lian Nan hurriedly nodded. However, he restlessly ran behind Chu Yao and pushed her, wanting to make her go faster.
Chu Yao smiled helplessly. With a move of her lily-white hands, Lian Nan was obediently pulled back by her. Although she still wanted to run around, after she pretended to glare at her, she also calmed down a little.
After the two left the green forest and passed through a fiery valley, the scenery suddenly changed. The two left the green forest and passed through a fiery valley.
In the depths of the starlight, there was a group of elegant yet imposing palaces. From time to time, there were people walking back and forth between them. With a movement of their bodies, they transformed into phoenixes and flew into the sky.
Chu Yao pulled Liannan along a floating path towards the palace. In front of the palace, there were two men with red hair and eyebrows. They were all dressed in bright clothes as guards.
Seeing the two of them enter, the man on the left bowed and said, “Holy Maiden, the Holy Mother said that you came back to see her.”
After hearing that, Chu Yao nodded and said, “Yes, I understand.” Ye Zichen pulled Lian Nan along and continued to walk forward.
Hearing the man’s words, Lian Nan couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Big sister Chu Yao, why did the Reverend Mother ask you to do this?”
Chu Yao slightly shook her head and pouted like she did with Liannan. She said, “I don’t know either.”
Seeing her expression, Lian Nan was surprised. Then, he shook his head like a rattle drum and said loudly: “If ordinary people saw your expression, they would probably forget about you!”
Chu Yao pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word.
After passing through a few walls, they arrived at a very simple hall. Chu Yao let go of Liannan’s hand and said, “Xiao Liannan, go see elder sister Xihuang first, I’ll come over later.”
“Okay, Sister Yuyao, hurry up.” He then jogged away.
After Liannan left, Chu Yao’s expression slowly became pale. The Ninth Heaven has not seen her for a long time. There must be a reason for him to seek her out, but …
“Now, other than letting me go to the mortal world, what else can I do in this world?” She sighed and walked into the hall.
The temperature in the hall was even hotter than it was outside, as if a hundred furnaces were burning at the same time.
There was a curtain at the top of the hall, and behind it sat a slim figure.
Chu Yao bowed and said, “Holy Mother.”
The Nine Heavens Goddess behind the curtain nodded, but did not speak. She didn’t say anything, so naturally, Chu Yao wouldn’t answer.
After a long while, the Nine Heavens Goddess suddenly sighed and said, “Could it be that you already know?”
Chu Yao remained silent.
“Ah, you are always like this, child.” The Nine Heavens Goddess said helplessly, “Humanity is about to cause trouble, so I’m going to let you take a walk there.”
Chu Yao nodded her head and bowed, then said in a low voice, “Got it, Holy Mother.”
The Nine Heavens Goddess looked at her and said, “Yao’er, do you have any complaints?”
Chu Yao said, “No.”
The Nine Heavens Goddess nodded and said, “I’m going to let you help First Family …”
“The Virgin.” Chu Yao suddenly interrupted her.
“Hmm?” The Nine Heavens Goddess frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Chu Yao said, “Since you want me to go to the mortal world, then I should be the one to decide everything, right?”
The Nine Heavens Goddess harrumphed and said, “This matter …”
“Then I’m not going.” Chu Yao suddenly said. Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, without any fear.
Nine Heavens Goddess stood up immediately and said angrily, “You …” “Hmph …” With a wave of his hand, he left the place.
She had just left when a middle-aged woman walked out from behind the curtain. She came in front of Chu Yao and whispered, “Chu Yao, why do you insist on going against the Empress?”
Chu Yao looked at her and shook her head, “Grandma Chen, if I don’t argue with her, she must want me to help someone with the Ji surname, right?”
The woman called Old Lady Chen sighed and said, “It’s not that you don’t know who it is. It’s been thousands of years, yet you still can’t let it go.”
Chu Yao looked at Grandma Chen for a long time before saying, “Grandma Chen, it was the Empress who called you out to persuade me, right?”
Old Lady Chen curled her lips and scolded him slightly, “How can you be like this? I am advising you out of good intentions. That person is the eldest senior brother of the Worryfree Valley right now, and not only is his cultivation high, he is also very handsome.
Hearing this, Chu Yao suddenly smiled. That smile was like the moonlight sprinkling light. She said, “Grandma Chen, I still want to go see Xi Feng. I’ll be leaving first.” He paid no more attention to the woman, and turned around to leave the hall.
When Grandma Chen saw her attitude, her expression changed. She said angrily, “Chu Yao, stop right there!”
Chu Yao stopped and turned her back to Grandma Chen.
Old Lady Chen’s expression became slightly better. “Think back then. If the Ninth Heaven hadn’t saved you from the earth and given you the power of fire, how could you have …”
Chu Yao suddenly said, “But did I ask you to save me?” He didn’t stop and left immediately.
Grandma Chen was instantly vexed. What she had said just now was indeed a bit too much. Just as she was about to try to salvage the situation, she found that Chu Yao had already left.
“Grandma Chen, forget it.” A dignified woman in red, dressed in palace clothing and wearing a veil walked out from the side. Looking at the place where Chu Yao had disappeared into, she shook her head.
She said helplessly, “There’s no need to persuade me. I only wanted to give it a try just now.” This child, Chu Yao, may seem as gentle as water, but her thoughts are so firm that it seems she has already surpassed you and me. ”
Old Lady Chen frowned and said, “But, Empress …”
She waved her hand, signaling her not to say anything more. She softly said, “Let her decide for herself what to do on earth.” Her voice was full of fatigue, as if she couldn’t even speak.
When Lady Chen heard this, she sighed and nodded.
The Nine Heavens Goddess rubbed her forehead and said, “Grandma Chen, I’m tired. Please help me back.”
Old Madam Chen acknowledged him with a grunt and hurriedly supported her to walk to the depths of the great hall.
Chu Yao turned around and looked at the direction of the main hall. After a slight bow, she walked forward. After passing through a few palace walls, they arrived at an elegant building with a red pool. As soon as he walked in, he heard Liannan yell, “Sister Xinnan, your figure is really good …”
Hearing this, Chu Yao couldn’t help but pause, shake her head, and walk inside. He found that Liannan was looking at Xifeng with a dazed expression, while the latter was lying on the bed looking at him with a change in expression. “Huu.” Seeing that Chu Yao had come in, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “Chu Yao, you’re finally here. I almost can’t stand this little fiend.
Lian Nan opened his eyes wide and pouted: “Big sister Xi Feng, who are you talking about!”
Xi Feng’s face was covered in sweat.
Chu Yao pursed her lips and smiled. She came over to the bed and stretched out a hand. She gently pulled Liannan aside and sat on the bed. He smiled at Xi Feng: “Xi Feng, it has been eighteen years since we last saw each other right?”
Xi Feng stared at Nan restlessly a few times before smiling at Chu Yao: “Yeah, that year, you went to Fu Sang for your power, but you didn’t expect to return in the blink of an eye.”
Chu Yao nodded, pulling on the restless hands behind her back and asked, “Are you living well over there?”
The phoenix thought for a moment and said, “Actually, I don’t feel anything. But a few days ago, I met a silly kid, so I was really angry.” Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly thought of something and his face reddened.
Hearing her call you a fool, Chu Yao asked, “Is it that silly kid who saved you once?”
The phoenix said with a sigh, “That’s right, if it wasn’t for the fact that he took some Flame Essence midway, how would we have discovered what Gu Tian Hong was doing inside? But, how is he? ”
Chu Yao looked at her and said, “Not so good.”
Xi Feng was surprised for a moment. “The Sun Realm has so many rare herbs. As long as he has half a breath, we can revive him. What do you mean not so good?”
Chu Yao sighed and said, “You’ll know when you go and take a look yourself. But luckily he hasn’t woken up yet, if he has, I don’t know how he would be able to take it. ”
Xi Huang frowned and thought for a moment, then said: “Can’t the Sun Realm be cured?”
Chu Yao said, “The treatment was mostly healed, but the rest is still very obvious.”
Seeing the two of them chatting passionately, ignoring her, Xiao Liannan was unwilling and loudly said: “Hey, hey, hey, why are you both ignoring me!”
The phoenix glanced at her and said, “Little girl, what do you want us to do with you?”
Liannan said excitedly, “Come and play with me! “Or maybe you guys take care of that ugly for me …” Suddenly, he realized that Chu Yao was staring at him, so he hurriedly changed his mind, “Um, I can go out and play with him.”
Xi Feng laughed: “You’re cunning.”
Suddenly, a maid came in from outside. She bowed and said, “Holy Maiden, that Young Master is awake.”
After hearing that, Chu Yao looked at Xi Feng and said: “I know, you can go now.”
The maid bowed again before leaving.
Chu Yao said, “Do you want to go take a look?”
Xi Feng pondered for a moment, got up from the bed, tidied up his clothes, and said: “Go.”
Liannan quickly said, “I’m going too!”
Chu Yao looked at her and smiled, “Alright, alright. But don’t be naughty later!”
Liannan quickly raised his hand high up and said, “Not mischievous, not mischievous.”
Xi Huang and Chu Yao both laughed softly, each holding her hand and walking towards the room Ding Hong was in.
