Chapter 5: Heavenly World Pearl

"SLUT, DIE" The spear in the black-winged's hand pierced their hearts.

Inside the small hut, Liang'er fell unconscious on the ground while whispering some names.

Luckily, Tian Yang instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist and brought that frail and light body in his embrace.

Their heads were now so close to each other that his lips were only an inch from that gorgeous face.

He really wanted to kiss her, but unfortunately this wasn't the right time.

He took a deep breath and moved his hand closer to her face.

When he finally touched her smooth skin, he started stroking it and closed his eyes to focus his mind only to that wonderful sensation and familiar face.

After their death, his heart almost broke and this tranquil moment with her was slowly repairing the large fissure inside of it.

He relaxed for a few minutes and finally, when his mind was no more turbulent like before, he spoke to the old man inside the treasure: 'Old Tian. It's good that with your reincarnation's method, it's almost impossible to reborn in a body with an unfamiliar face.'

'That's what you requested after the first reincarnation, after all with the power of nine elements qi, it's not so difficult and your original body was a bit…' Old Tian spoke, but he could finish his words, because Tian Yang interrupted him with an absurd statement.

'What? I was a bit too beautiful.'

'Pft… Of course… Of course… I remember that your face was too beautiful, actually it was so otherworldly that it was a wonder for the other people. I would never forget those screaming kids, when they accidently saw you and I don't even need to mention abou…' Old Tian chuckled, sarcastically.

'Old fart… you promised me. Never mention that stuff again. I'm done talking to you…' Tian Yang snorted.

Tian Yan gave her a kiss on the forehead and placed her stunning body on his bed, covering it with a soft blanket.

'Tian Yang, I can feel that her soul is getting stronger minute by minute, this means that all her memories are unsealing. But I'm still not quite sure when she will wake up.' Old Tian said with delight.

'Hmm… unfortunately, there are also painful memories and it'll take her some time to recover from the shock.' Tian Yang said with a bit of sadness.

He sat cross-legged to her left side and held her hands between his warm palms, hoping to give her some support for this difficult moment.

Meanwhile, outside the hut, two people were hiding in the night's shadow and were looking at the two young people on top of the bed through a small window.

"Look at her. My poor girl is suffering so much, maybe we should go inside and console her a bit." Zhu Huli said with a worried face.

"Sigh… the one that she truly needs right now is already inside. We should go back and sleep for a bit, after all we didn't sleep well in the last two years. When she is ready, we will know the truth." Bai Lang comforted his wife and took her towards their house.

Back inside the hut, Old Tian and Tian Yang were still talking.

'In a few moments you can enter inside the Heavenly World Pearl.' Old Tian said.

'Fine. Hmm… Old Tian, if little Liang's memories are awakening, doesn't that mean that also Yao'er and the other girls are starting to remember their past?' Tian Yang asked.

'Hmm, it should be possible...' Old Tian said.

'Unfortunately, my memories of this ninth reincarnation are still blurred. It's impossible for us to know, if I met one of them in these eighteen years.' Tian Yang interrupted him.

'That could be a possibility, but there is no solution for that at the moment. Now just focus and grow stronger, only like this, you will have more possibility to find them. It's time… I'll bring your body inside now.' Old Tian said.

'Wait, can you leave a projection of my body outside? You know, if I disappear for the entire night and she wakes up..." Tian Yang proposed.

'Fine, fine.'

Tian Yang's vision blurred and when his he could see again, he found himself inside a familiar, but somehow different place, the space within Heavenly World Pearl.

The world inside was around ten miles.

The first thing that he noticed was the barren land, from which a faint golden fog came out from time to time.

But there was really a big difference from the original world.

The beautiful gardens, the small lakes and the imposing constructions were all missing.

Probably the only same thing was the sky full of stars, especially nine of them, each one with different colors, The Heavenly stars of elements.

"Is the situation really this bad??" Tian Yang sighed as his gaze moved around, searching for something.

"Well, you finally realize in what kind of deep shit, we are right now." Old Tian said with a bitter smile.

"DAMN." Tian Yang cursed and closed his eyes, not willing to see the terrible state of this place, that it was like a home for him.

"Most of the elements qi inside are thin and with poor quality. The Fire qi is the richest and only the Time and Wood qi are a bit abundant that the other six." Old Tian sighed.

"But why is that?" Tian Yang asked, still a bit confuse by this mess.

"Stupid… Do you think, performing a forced reincarnation is free? I need to use some of my powers each time… Unfortunately, because of some stupid fellow this time, I consumed also the treasure's reserve energy." Old Tian answered angrily.

Cough… Cough…

Tian Yang caught a few times and spoke still a bit embarrassed: "Hmm… but it seems, that it's recovering pretty fast."

"Nonsense, this is just a drop in an ocean. From now on, this treasure it's completely part of your body. Try to not get killed or I will disappear too. Anyway, if you want to get back the treasure to its old peak, you must increase your power. Especially the Heavenly Veins of Elements qi since they are the only way to use the full power of Heavenly World Pearl." Old Tian retorted.

"Sorry, Old Tian… and thank you for what you did." Tian Yang said with a moved face.

"At least it was all worth…" Old Tian sighed.

"Go on, tell me what it can do for now." Tian Yang said with a smile.

"Hmm. Thanks to your inborn Heavenly Vein of time qi. The flow of time inside is two times that of the outside, so one day outside is two day inside. You can still bring things from the outside with the power of space qi, but there is a limit, people or beast can't come inside for now." Old Tian explained.

Tian Yang's face became darker, the more he listened to the old man's words.

Old Tian continued unperturbed: "You can still let the plants grow inside to assist you to your cultivation. I used most of the power of the Time qi, there. The herbs will grow faster, one day outside is 10 years inside. I made this choice because, what we need is not only time but also useful treasure with elemental qi. It is a pity that we couldn't keep anything from the past lives." Old Tian said.

"Sigh… It's more serious than I imagined." Tian Yang signed and then asked: "Where is the Jace Hall?"

"Don't worry. I used a special art and sealed it in a secondary space in the treasure. You can still go there, in the future, but for now I can only use some space power to bring the orbs outside. Unfortunately, after that the space qi's energy inside you, will decrease again. Anyway, it's not so worrisome now that Liang'er is with us." Old Tian said with laughed.

A gentle smile appeared on Tian Yang's face: "Right."

Old Tian sighed and then said in a solemn voice: "Tian Yang, you should start absorbing the other Heavenly Veins of Elements qi inside of you."
