Realms In The Firmament

It was Xuan Bing who ascended after Ye Xiao.

Xuan Bing just arrived at the new world, and the dense white fog had surrounded her. – Shoot! – She fell into the wash pond which was right next to her.

The two angels lit up their eyes.

“It is a woman, isn’t it?”

“You are talking nonsense. Of course, she is a woman. She has to be a woman. Otherwise, she wouldn’t fall into the lady’s wash pond, would she?”

“Hey! I am not talking nonsense. She is a woman, and we can’t get access to that area. We can only wait outside the entrance.”

“Wait a minute. Am I getting this wrong? Do you want to go over and look at her? Don’t you dare! Aren’t you afraid that the divine thunder would crash you down into pieces? You pervert!”

“I didn’t mean it! Come on… I have had enough from the weirdo a while ago… To be honest with you, you can’t say this to anybody else. It is not true. If anybody else heard you, my family will be doomed…”

The two angels just stayed outside the entrance and waited patiently with grief.

Xuan Bing didn’t make them wait too long. When she went out, the two angels who saw the lady for the first time were both stunned!

“She is fabulous! Beautiful!”

“Incredible! Gorgeous!”

There was only one feeling in Xuan Bing’s mind. When she came out from the wash pond, she felt so relieved. It seemed Xuan Bing from the past had been left in the pond, and she was completely another person!

She once had a similar feeling before. When she was severely injured in the Land of Han-Yang and lost all her power, Ye Xiao poured his own energy into her body to save her, and that was the last time she felt like she was reborn as another person!

This time, she felt more relieved, and the feeling was clearer in her head. She felt so light, and her body was extremely pure and clean. After the ablution, her entire body had changed, and she had let go of the past. Her dantian was totally empty, and the spiritual qi around her kept rushing into her at full speed. The energy was forcibly rushing into her body, forcing her to accept it.

Xuan Bing was experienced enough to easily recognize the difference in essence between the spiritual qi in this place and the spiritual qi in the Qing-Yun Realm!

The spiritual qi here was more powerful, thicker and gentler… It was just about to catch up with the purple qi which Ye Xiao had poured into her body in the old days!

When she walked out the wash pond, she clearly felt that she had reached an upper level in cultivation!

It had just been such a short time, and she already got such a huge improvement. That was incredible!

The two angels who were supposed to take care of all the people who were new to this world had been staring at Xuan Bing. She realized it, so she blandly smiled and said, “Please, forgive me if there is anything I did wrong. I am new to this upper world. I guess you are the host angels that I have heard a lot in the ancient stories. Are you?”

The two host angels nodded and said, “That’s right. Yes. We are. We surely are.”

In their hearts, they were thinking, ‘This woman is extraordinarily beautiful… Look at her eyes and those eyebrows… She was fabulous. I think there aren’t many women even in the Human Realm Upon Heavens who can be as beautiful as this woman. I surely haven’t seen any before.’

‘But… It is just… This lady is so cold. I can see that she is smiling and being polite to us, talking in good manners, but I can also feel the extreme coldness in her, which gives a chill into my bones.’

‘She just gives some sort of feeling… It makes me feel like I am surrounded by all the snow mountains…’

‘It would be perfect to look at a beautiful woman like this for some time, but I don’t think it is a good idea to be with her for a long time. She is going to freeze somebody to death!’

“Hmm. Can you tell us your name, please?” The host angel who stood on the left side was talking in official principles, polite and professional. “Please tell us everything about the martial force, which means your sect, in the lower realm. We will make you a special nameplate, so you can enter the Human Realm Upon Heavens with it.”

Xuan Bing nodded. She knew it was obligatory. She guessed that the special nameplate was probably the identification of who she was, so she just told the two angels whatever they wanted to know.

Apparently, the two angels were quite familiar with the process of making a nameplate, because they finished making a jade plate for Xuan Bing in a short time. The host angel who stood on the right passed over a small bag to Xuan Bing and said, “The Great Heavenly Master has prepared a package of money and materials for every cultivator who is new to this world after ascending. In the Human Realm Upon Heavens, anything from the lower realms is useless. You must take your time to accept the change and get used to it.”

The host angel on the left said, “I should give you an advice. Since you have the power to ascend to this world, I assume that you are an all-powerful person in the world you are from. However, leaving that world for this great realm, you are no longer a great cultivator anymore. In the Human Realm Upon Heavens, you are just a beginner in cultivation. Any cultivator you will see in this world can kill you easily. Do not overestimate yourself, because it will only lead you to death! Mark my words!”

Xuan Bing said thank you a few times and then took over the bag.

“When you get out of this place, you will see a fork in the road, which can lead you to many directions. You can choose one path, and after that, your future depends on how good you can be.”

The angel generously said in kindness, “This is my last advice. The paths on the left are not good choices. Pick some other path, and you will get fewer difficulties.”

If Xuan Bing wasn’t such an incredibly beautiful woman, the two host angels would never have told her this much.

She could choose whatever she wanted, and they wouldn’t give a sh*t about it.

Xuan Bing nodded and said thank you again, and then she asked, “Please, honorable lords, do you happen to know what path the man who arrived three days ago picked?”

The two host angels were awkward. “The man who arrived three days ago?”

“Well… You two know each other!”

“That’s right. The man who arrived three days ago. He is my husband.” Xuan Bing was a bit anxious. “Please, great angels. Could you tell me where he went?”

The two host angels were speechless for a long while.

After a long silence, they stuttered and said, “Lady Xuan Bing, we will just be frank to you. In fact, we have no idea where he goes right now… Well… To be honest, we are looking for him as well. You must know that we two may be more eager than you for any trace of him… However, there is nothing we can trace after as if that man has never been here before…”

When the angels said these words, they were so deeply grieved.

It was such a weird thing that would not happen once in ten thousand years. A man ascended to this world and then went missing.

Xuan Bing was surprised. She said, “What? Isn’t… Isn’t every cultivator who ascends to this world obligated to come to this place?”

“Yes! Absolutely.” The two host angels said, and they were both upset.

“Well then, why did you say that he has never been here?” Xuan Bing asked.

“We… We do not know…” The two angels were so upset and they said, “Lady Xuan Bing, there is one thing we need to ask for you for a favor. If you meet your husband, please tell him to come back here and do the register… Otherwise, we two are going to be so f*cked up…”

Xuan Bing was awkwardly speechless.

Then she left.

When she got to the fork in the road, where she could pick a path from thousands of paths, she didn’t hesitate to choose a path that looked straight ahead. She just picked one randomly.

‘I don’t care what it will be like. From the moment I step on it, it will be my path!’

Xuan Bing had disappeared, and the two angels were still in sigh and groan.

“It is better to do it without help than to ask for help. We should probably get on looking for that man now!”

The two of them were just about to leave and go on looking for Ye Xiao, but the divine bell unexpectedly rang up again.

“What? Another one ascended?”

The two angels were shocked. “This is odd! How come people keep arriving recently? Our world here should be the highest realm in the firmament. I have never seen so many people coming up together in such a short time!”

After a while…

“What? Why is it a woman again?” The two host angels were surprised.

‘What is happening? Is Yin going to surpass Yang in this world…’

The Human Realm Upon Heavens was not some normal realm in the universe. It was the highest realm among all. Only those who had reached the top of cultivation could enter this supreme realm. It took three to five years for a new cultivator to ascend to this world after the former one, and female cultivators were rare. It was unbelievably rare that two female cultivators arrived almost at the same time. However, the two angels were witnessing the miracle here!

Jun Yinglian had arrived.

As usual, the two angels did what they should do to every cultivator who had first set their feet on this world. When everything was done and Jun Yinglian was about to leave, she suddenly asked the two host angels a question.

“Could you please kindly tell me, my honorable angels. A few days ago, there was a male cultivator who arrived in this world. May I ask which path did he choose?” Jun Yinglian politely asked.

The two host angels were shocked and blanked out again.

“Who is he to you?” The two angels stared at her with confusion.

Jun Yinglian blushed and said, “He… He is my husband… Please, honorable angels, tell me where he chose to go?”

“…”

The two angels only felt like they got struck by the divine thunder.

‘That holy dumb head bastard!’

The two host angels felt utterly grieved and both started to shed tears!

‘It is against the heaven’s kind will that you have made such a huge trouble to the two of us! And… You actually got to marry these two women, who are definitely the most beautiful women in the world, even in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!’

‘These two beautiful women ascended to this world one after another almost at the same time, and they are actually your wives! Both of them!’

‘Bastard! Do you want all the men in the Human Realm Upon Heavens to die in grief!’

‘Two good white cabbages got wasted by the same weirdo! The heaven should never let this happen!’

‘I wonder what kind of a playboy is this guy?’

The two host angels saw Jun Yinglian off and then continued looking for Ye Xiao. However, it was a shame that they were going to waste their time on it. They could never find Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao was somewhere at least… a hundred thousand miles away from the wash pond… He was just unbelievably far away at the moment.

The two angels didn’t find Ye Xiao, so they had lived a long miserable time after Ye Xiao was gone. They always sighed and groaned whenever they thought of it.

However, they still had a job to do. If they got careless again, they might lose even more…

“Somebody is coming up again…” The two host angels were a little frightened by how quickly one ascended to this world after the previous one did.

“Wait a minute! This is not a third one who is going to ask about that bastard, is this?”

Well, reality went against the wish.

A man who made people feel cold, and looked just like an ice sculpture walked out from the wash pond.

His clothes were white like pure snow.

His long sword was cold like frost.

It seemed nobody could get near him.

He had a good-looking face though.

This pretty young man was exactly Han Bingxue. The handsome man, Han Bingxue had arrived.

The angels did everything once again, telling Han Bingxue everything he needed to know. After that, Han Bingxue asked gently, “May I ask you a question, please? About half a month ago, there should be one man and two women who ascended to this world. May I ask which path did they choose? They must have chosen the same path! I believe so!”

“…” The two host angels were speechless again in awkwardness.

‘Holy sh*t! Can’t you ask something else?’

‘Why? Why do you all have to ask about him?’

“They didn’t choose the same path. Do you want to know about the man or the two ladies?” One of the two host angels said.

He wasn’t lying though. Ye Xiao had been missing, and he did not choose the same path as the two ladies. In fact, he didn’t choose any path at all, and the two ladies didn’t go the same path either. Xuan Bing went straight forward, and Jun Yinglian picked the one slightly on the right.

“Not the same path? How come? It shouldn’t be. Never mind. Could you please kindly tell me which path did that man choose? I am going to chase him!” Han Bingxue said.

The two host angels were astounded again. ‘What the hell? What is going on here? This young man, this pretty young man, actually follows that stupid weirdo as well! He said he wanted to chase that bastard! What the hell? Is that weirdo truly that powerful? Does he like man and woman at the same time? Isn’t it too overwhelming?’

The other host angel asked, “Is that man your husband? My heavens! I have never thought that the lower realm could be this open!” When he said these words, he felt he got a cramp on his legs. He just couldn’t imagine the scene of these people being together.

Han Bingxue was surprised too, but then he soon understood what was happening. The two angels clearly mistook something. He hurriedly explained and said, “No, no, no. You misunderstand me. That man you just mentioned is my big brother. The two ladies are my brother’s wives. The three of them came to this world almost at the same time, so I think I should ask about them.” Han Bingxue gave a reasonable explanation, and then he said, “Oh great angels, please, are you sure they didn’t take the same path?”

“…”

The two host angels finally powerlessly said, “Your big brother has gone missing. He didn’t come to us… His two wives picked two different paths out there…”

“Oh, I see!” Han Bingxue waved a hand and said, “Well, off I go then! Thank you, honorable angels, for telling me what I need. When I become a conqueror of some place here in this world, I will come back and visit you again.”

After that, Han Bingxue casually left, taking nothing with him.

The two host angels were speechlessly awkward. They just didn’t know how to respond to that.

‘What on earth is this arrogant man? Where does his blind arrogance come from?’

‘Perhaps, you could be a king somewhere down in the lower world, but in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, you are weak just like a small shrimp… Don’t you understand? You? You become a conqueror of somewhere in the Human Realm Upon Heavens?’

‘Who the hell do you think you are?’

‘That was a toad yawning with a gaping mouth, lots of big talks.’

‘A conqueror? A conqueror in the piggery, I suppose.’

After another half month.

Li Wuliang and Xue Danru both arrived at this place after ascending to the upper realm.

“May I ask, my dear honorable lord angels, where do those people who arrived earlier go? They must have chosen the same path, haven’t they?”

The two host angels truly did not want to answer this question again.

‘Who the hell… What the hell are you doing? Are you fooling me around?’

Another half a month passed.

Two gorgeous beauties arrived at the wash pond and then walked out to the greeting desk.

The sisters, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han arrived.

“May I ask, my dear lord angels…”

When Yue Shuang said the first several words, the two angels already had a serious headache.

The sacred decree was announced already. The two host angels each had lost one thousand years bonus.

The two of them were just in grievance, and people actually kept coming to ask them the same thing that makes them feel upset.

‘Can’t you just stop it? Can’t you?’
