Chapter 1438 - 4: Seeking My Husband in the Divine World
Chapter 1438: Chapter 4: Seeking My Husband in the Divine World
Before Ye Beiming set out, Little Ling Yue was still somewhat reluctant to part with him.
"Ling Yue, as long as you wait until the Blood Stopping Flowers in the Medicine Field bloom, you’ll see your daddy come back." Ye Beiming smiled as he said goodbye to his daughter. He’d calculated the round trip; one month should be enough for him to return from the Divine World.
With Ye Beiming and Bo Bo gone, a whole month passed.
The child in Yun Sheng’s belly was already five months old, yet there was still no word at all from Ye Beiming. This made Yun Sheng increasingly uneasy. She tried again to contact Mingri, but to her surprise, even Mingri had cut off all news.
By rights, Bo Bo should have already reached the Divine World long ago and received the Realm God’s conferment.
Day after day of waiting left Yun Sheng anxious and on edge.
"Mother, Daddy still hasn’t come back? Didn’t he say, as long as we wait until the Blood Stopping Flowers in the Medicine Field bloom, he’ll come back?" Little Ling Yue hugged her mother’s hand, swinging it back and forth.
Children’s powers of observation are actually very keen. Little Ling Yue had also noticed that ever since Daddy left, no one played horsey games with her anymore, and no one coaxed Mother into smiling.
These past few days, there hadn’t been a single smile on Mother’s face. She wanted Daddy to come back quickly.
"Daddy will be back very soon." Yun Sheng forced a smile and rubbed her daughter’s head.
Another half month passed. All the Blood Stopping Flowers in the Medicine Field had already been harvested, yet Ye Beiming still hadn’t returned.
Yun Sheng could no longer sit and wait. She had no choice but to get in touch with the Netherworld Ghost King.
"The Netherworld God is not in the Netherworld." The Netherworld Ghost King quickly brought back a rather bad piece of news.
Apparently about a month ago, which was half a month after Ye Beiming left, one day the Netherworld God suddenly departed from the Netherworld Palace. When he left, he also took away a hundred thousand Netherworld Army troops.
Something must have happened... The ominous feeling in Yun Sheng’s heart grew even heavier.
"How about this, disciple, I’ll secretly go to the Divine World and sound out some news?" The Netherworld Ghost King saw Yun Sheng with that huge belly and was afraid that too much worry would wreck her health.
"No. Ghost King, you have some grudges with the Divine World, and besides, your identity isn’t suitable to appear there. I want to go to the Divine World in person." Yun Sheng had been thinking about it for days. Even the always-calm Mingri was taking the Netherworld Army to the Divine World, so something must have happened there.
"But your body right now..." The Netherworld Ghost King glanced at Yun Sheng’s belly, twice the size of an ordinary person’s. It was only five and a half months, yet it already looked like she was about to give birth. And Yun Sheng even wanted to take Little Ling Yue with her to the Divine World.
"My body’s fine; this is already my second child. As for Little Ling Yue, she’s always been well-behaved. And I just happen to know of a secret Magic Array that leads to the Divine World." Once Yun Sheng made up her mind, she went back to Banana Leaf Village and briefly explained to her daughter that they were going to look for Daddy.
"Mother, as long as we enter this Magic Array, we’ll be able to see Daddy?" Little Ling Yue, still muddle-headed, stood with her mother on the Divine Realm Treasure Ship. The treasure ship flew through the air, and below was a boundless sea of clouds.
Little Ling Yue mustered her courage and looked down from the ship. Banana Leaf Village had already become a tiny black speck the size of an ant. This was much higher than when Daddy had taken her and Mother up on the roof to look at the stars.
There were only two ways to go from the Human World to the Divine World. One was through the Path of Gods, and the other was via a Magic Array.
The only Path of Gods on the Wuji Continent opened once every three thousand years; that last time, it had been Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming who opened it together.
After the two of them missed that chance, they would have to wait another three thousand years for the next opening of the Divine Road.
So Yun Sheng could only go to the Divine World through a Magic Array, and that Magic Array had been left behind by the last Beast King.
Yun Sheng had learned of the whereabouts of that Magic Array from the mouth of Demigod Qingcheng.
"Yes. As long as we pass through that Magic Array, we’ll quickly be able to see Daddy." Yun Sheng reassured her daughter. But despite what she said, Yun Sheng herself didn’t feel very certain inside.
What exactly the Divine World was like, whether the Magic Array could really send the two of them to the Divine World—none of this was known.
"Bold Human Clan, how dare you trespass into the Divine World." Just as Yun Sheng’s Divine Realm Treasure Ship passed through the Magic Array and sailed into the Divine World—
The sky suddenly let out a thunderous roar. A ball of fire appeared in the sky and struck toward the Divine Realm Treasure Ship.
Yun Sheng stayed calm. Between her fingers bloomed a beautiful Divine Lotus Karmic Fire, which she flicked outward.
At the sight of that Karmic Fire, an astonished cry came from within the Fireball. Right after, the Fireball dropped onto the Divine Realm Treasure Ship, and from inside walked out a Divine Beast.
When they saw each other clearly, both that Divine Beast and Yun Sheng were greatly shocked.
"Suan Ni?"
"Little lass?"
It could only be called an extreme coincidence—the guardian of this Magic Array turned out to be the very Divine Beast Suanni Yun Sheng had met in the Earth Core Melt Cave when she was still a yellow-haired little girl.
Back then, the two had only crossed paths once. Because Yun Sheng helped Suanni cure its toothache, after Yun Sheng passed the trials, Suanni had gifted her Elf Karma Fire.
Who would have thought that the next time they met would be in the Divine World.
"Little lass, after several years apart, you actually cleansed the Elf Karma Fire into Divine Lotus Karmic Fire? That little one next to you is your daughter? She really does look like you—just as reckless and fearless." Though Suan Ni was a Divine Beast, its visage was ugly. It sized up Little Ling Yue.
But Little Ling Yue, upon seeing it, wasn’t afraid at all. She even boldly tried to grab the Divine Beast Suanni’s tail, making Suanni stare wide-eyed in shock.
"Senior Suan Ni, I truly apologize. I didn’t know this Magic Array was under your guardianship. My trespass into the Divine World is a last resort." Yun Sheng then told the story of her coming to the Divine World to search for her husband.
"What? Your husband is Ye Beiming? That brat and the Netherworld God Mingri have been the talk of the entire Divine World lately." Suanni’s eyes went even wider when it heard that.
It turned out that a bit over a month ago, Ye Beiming had escorted Bo Bo to the Divine World to receive her conferment. Before entering the Divine World, everything had been calm.
But the day before Bo Bo was to receive her conferment, she was snatched away.
Ye Beiming contacted Mingri, and the two immediately launched an investigation. In the end they discovered that Bo Bo had been abducted by the failed Realm God candidate, Xi Clan’s Clan Leader Xi Sanqian, along with a Priest from the Human World.
The two had imprisoned Bo Bo in the Xi Clan’s forbidden ground, intending to kill her and steal her Divine Body.
A Priest from the Human World?
Yun Sheng instantly thought of one person—the High Priest of the Beast God Altar.
After Ye Xiu’s disappearance, the High Priest of the Beast God Altar had also vanished. She hadn’t expected him to have come to the Divine World and even colluded with the failed Realm God Xi Sanqian.
In that case, the Beast King who had run rampant in the Human World back then had been Xi Clan’s Clan Leader Xi Sanqian.
Xi Sanqian was a descendant of the Ancient Divine Race. The power behind him was Emperor Feng Gu, one of the Four Divine Emperors. Mingri and Ye Beiming had originally wanted to report this directly to Emperor Huoyan, but Emperor Feng Gu kept interfering from the sidelines.
Afraid that Bo Bo would meet with misfortune, Mingri and Ye Beiming, in a rage, gathered one hundred thousand Netherworld Army troops and marched on the Xi Clan’s location at the Yunshen Plain.
"Right now, the Netherworld Army and the Xi Clan’s forces are still battling so fiercely on the Yunshen Plain that heaven and earth are turning dim." Suanni spoke as it sighed repeatedly.
"Senior Suan Ni, can you take me to the Yunshen Plain? I have to find Ye Beiming." Yun Sheng was desperately anxious and pleaded with Suanni.
Suanni looked at Yun Sheng’s huge belly and at the little girl beside her. Its heart was moved with pity, and it took the mother and daughter together to the Yunshen Plain.
