Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Chapter 79

While knocking, she was a bit worried, thinking it would be awkward if Senior Sister Qingxue emerged from Ye Xuan’s room again. After all, the pair had a predestined relationship and had already spent a night together at Qingyan Peak.

Now at Qingxue Peak, wouldn’t their lack of restraint be even more apparent? The thought made her blush. She wondered when Brother Ye Xuan would marry her, feeling somewhat expectant about it.

Then, the door creaked open, and Ye Xuan appeared. “Eh? Brother Ye Xuan, are you alone… isn’t Senior Sister Qingxue here?” Yu Ling’er curiously asked, half-expecting to see a scene she shouldn’t.

“Do you want to see her here?” Ye Xuan teased.

“No, not at all…” Yu Ling’er quickly shook her head, blushing as she realized Ye Xuan was joking.

“It seems Senior Sister Qingxue has gone to the Taihua Grand Hall for a meeting, Brother Ye Xuan, let’s continue our cultivation,” she said, pulling Ye Xuan’s hand towards a gathering spirit formation.

Sitting down, Yu Ling’er reminded Ye Xuan, “Brother Ye Xuan, even though I know you’ve reached the realm of immortals, I want to remind you that haste in cultivation can lead to failure.”

“If you feel your cultivation speed isn’t fast enough, you need to be patient and wait for the right opportunity. Cultivation can’t be rushed. Even though your Qi Gathering didn’t take long, I think it will still take about seven days to reach Enlightment. Take it slow.”

“Is that so?” Ye Xuan closed his eyes, his spiritual Qu surged within him, and a burst of spiritual light emanated from his body. When the light faded, Ye Xuan sat there, radiating a starry glow.

“Uh… Enlightment?!!”

“This is just… two days, right?” Two days to achieve such progress?! Two days… Can’t you be any faster?!! Your cultivation speed is a bit too frightening –!!!

“Alright, stop looking at me. Let’s continue cultivating,” Ye Xuan told Yu Ling’er.

“Uh… Oh…” Yu Ling’er felt overwhelmed. With Ye Xuan’s cultivation speed, it probably wouldn’t be long before he surpassed her. She wished her own cultivation could progress faster so that she wouldn’t be overtaken by Ye Xuan soon.

She believed that once Ye Xuan’s cultivation surpassed hers, she might not be able to keep up with him anymore.

While they were cultivating, a ray of heavenly light descended and transformed into Qingxue’s figure.

“My wife, you’re back.” Ye Xuan opened his eyes, looking at Qingxue who had returned, and smiled, “What did you discuss at the Taihua Grand Hall this time?”

Hearing this, Qingxue replied, “Not only did a group of demons attack Taihua Mountain, but many other cultivation sects were also attacked. Some smaller sects were even annihilated.”

“What?!” Ye Xuan was surprised, “Has the reason been investigated?”

“Not yet…” Qingxue shook her head, “But because of this incident… many sects, led by Taihua Immortal Sect, have decided to intensify their disciples’ cultivation training. They aim to bring all disciples to the Spirit Insight Realm as soon as possible for self-protection.”

“Uh…” Ye Xuan was puzzled, “I understand the reasoning, but can cultivation levels be raised just by wanting them to? Even Ling’er, with her talent, has only reached the Object Manipulation Realm after all these years of cultivation.”

“What do you mean ‘only’?!” Yu Ling’er was displeased and said to Ye Xuan, “Brother Ye Xuan, I am already quite remarkable… Normally It’s impressive for most people to reach the Object Manipulation Realm by the age of one hundred and eighty.”

“That Qingyu Daoist you met in your previous life probably never reached the Object Manipulation Realm in his entire life.”

Seeing Yu Ling’er upset, Ye Xuan gently patted her head and smiled, “Behave, don’t be upset.”

“Okay…” Yu Ling’er nodded obediently, not saying more.

Qingxue continued, “Ordinary cultivation might indeed be difficult to progress rapidly for most people. But the essence of cultivating immortality is not something ordinary people can imagine, and it should not be considered in ordinary terms.”

“If we gather the power of many immortals, we can open a place called ‘Cosmic Heaven Realm’, a blessed land different from the outside world, where time flows much faster.”

“A single day outside equals decades in there.

This means that if we send all the disciples of the immortal families into the Cosmic Heaven Realm, we can achieve a rapid increase in their cultivation levels in a short time.”

“Oh? That’s amazing!” Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up at the explanation. “Why isn’t such an incredible place used regularly?”

“Even immortals can’t create something from nothing. The spiritual Qi stored in the Cosmic Heaven Realm is limited,” Qingxue replied.

“In other words, if we rapidly consume the realm’s spiritual Qi in a short time, since time flows faster there by hundreds of times compared to the outside world, it would take hundreds of years to replenish its spiritual energy.”

“Therefore, after deliberation among all the righteous immortal sects, the Cosmic Heaven Realm is not opened unless absolutely necessary. It’s reserved for times of great crisis, and merely shortens the cultivation time for immortal disciples on the surface.”

“In reality, those who enter the realm truly experience decades of cultivation. If one’s heart is not strong enough, it’s hard to persevere day after day…”

“However, this is the first time so many people will enter the Cosmic Heaven Realm. Perhaps, even if it feels boring, they can endure it until their cultivation is complete.”

“Wow, so I could potentially become an immortal in just one day?!” Ye Xuan was excited at the prospect.

“Yes, I’ve never heard of this Cosmic Heaven Realm before… If such a place really exists, I too could become an immortal in a day!”

Yu Ling’er exclaimed joyfully.

Seeing their excitement, Qingxue couldn’t help but smile, “What are you thinking? There’s no such easy way. The Cosmic Heaven Realm is tiered. Each level has a fixed cultivation level that can be achieved, and opening the realm requires immense power.”

“Even just opening the first level, the ‘Qi Gathering Realm’, requires the effort of three immortals. To open the Spirit Insight Realm, almost all willing immortals must join forces.”

“Once you enter a realm, you can only cultivate to that level and will be forcibly ejected once you reach it. This place is fairer for those with mediocre talent; as long as you’re willing to work hard, you’ll have the corresponding cultivation level when you come out.”

“The time spent inside is real. If you spend decades inside before coming out, it’s the same as losing decades of your lifespan in the outside world. It’s a matter of personal choice whether the gains outweigh the losses.”

“Most disciples of the major immortal sects are talented and probably wouldn’t worry about wasting their lifespan.”

“If only I knew about such a wonderful place in my previous life…”

Ye Xuan responded thoughtfully, “I was just thinking… entering this Cosmic Heaven Realm sounds like a great opportunity, but also a huge commitment. It’s a bit like accelerating life itself.”

“I feel the same,” Yu Ling’er added regretfully. “In my previous life, I focused solely on cultivation, unaware of such a place. It seems my understanding of the world of cultivators was quite limited.”

“You two are still too young,” Qingxue said with a hint of pride in her smile. “Live for hundreds of years, and you’ll realize how little you know about this world.”

“Like they say, ‘a woman three years older is like a treasure,’ but in my case, it’s – woman three hundred years older, possessing mountains of gold and seas of jade,\'” Ye Xuan joked.

Qingxue blushed at his comment, “Well, I’m not that much older. Most of my time was spent in meditation and seclusion, so that doesn’t really count towards my age.”

Yu Ling’er, excited, said, “Ye Xuan brother, this is great for you. With your talent, you don’t need to work so hard to increase your cultivation level. You can spend more time practicing spells and techniques…”

“And learn the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sword Technique from Qingxue right now, then perfect it in the Cosmic Heaven Realm.”

Qingxue nodded, “Indeed, most immortal sects have this intention. Their disciples, blessed with innate talents, can use the time in the Cosmic Heaven Realm to master their sect’s unique skills while increasing their cultivation.”

“They’ll come out much stronger and well-rounded. However, willingness to dedicate decades of one’s life to cultivation in the realm will test the determination of every disciple. After all, even immortals have limited lifespans.”

“For these five days, we’ll pause our regular cultivation and focus on teaching you the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sword Technique. Learning directly from me will be far more effective than studying from a script.”

Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er were overjoyed at the prospect of learning the technique.

Clearing her throat, Qingxue continued, “In five days, all disciples will prepare for their journey into the Cosmic Heaven Realm. This is an opportunity for them to become the pillars of their respective sects in the future.”

Ye Xuan started to ponder again, deep in thought.

Noticing his contemplative expression, Qingxue asked, “What’s on your mind?”
