Imperial God Emperor 450 - One strand of hair

Chapter 450, One strand of hair
At her side, a faint silhouette of a figure was emerging, holding a giant crystal ball in her palm. Within that flickering brilliance was precisely the scene of the battle above the [Light Palace].
“The divine thought of that rotten monkey’s has been broken? Ke ke... I didn’t expect that after 100 years, there would be a Witch King from the White Mountain Black Water... this is more and more splendid. If the four divine generals do not appear, the [Light Palace] will be completely destroyed this time!”
The coarse voice of the black figure sounded like the friction noise generated during the sliding of two pieces of rusty iron.
“Master, what are we waiting for?” The girl in a red dress asked.
“Waiting for some old fools to appear. This time, I swear to get revenge, solve the hatred of a hundred years old, but also to take back the treasure that my sect lost a hundred years ago, help me restore body parts, and help you improve your cultivation!”
The hoarse voice was filled with endless excitement.
……
“In the [Light Palace], there are treasures and weapons of the major sects of hundred years ago?” Bai Yuqing exclaimed in surprise. “Master you are saying that back then when the Snow Empire annihilated the enemies of the countless sects, what they obtained, only a fraction was stored in the Snow Empire’s armoury. While the essence of the treasures, secret martial arts books of the top sects were kept in the armoury of the [Light Palace]?”
This was the first time that Bai Yuqing heard about this.
At her side stood a one-armed Buddhist nun in a silver kasaya robe Her palm was in front of her chest, and a horsetail whisk with 3,000 strands of hair was inserted in the back of her collar.
She was very old, her eyebrows, like silver snow, were hanging down to almost her cheeks, but her skin was extremely delicate and smooth, like a jade stone, translucent and glowing, and looked more like the skin of a 28-year-old girl.
“Back then it was the War God who really wiped out the enemy thoroughly and not the army of Snow Empire. Later that War God established the [Light Palace] by himself, and the captured equipment were stored in the [Light Palace]. It is said that many of the eliminated evil sects had books of evil sorcery cultivation techniques, its content is extremely insane and can be called as devoid of human nature. Worried that these books of secret techniques might fall in the hands of those with evil intentions, the War God did not turn these books over to the Imperial family. Instead all these evil cultivation books and treasures were all suppressed beneath the [Light Palace], so that it can never see light again. One hundred years ago, when the War God disappeared, many surviving members of the evil sects wanted to retrieve the rare books, but they did not succeed. They have been hiding in a secret place waiting for the right time. This time the Brute Race and Demon Race have joined together, and came back stronger than before, it seems that they are determined to win.”
The one armed nun wore an indifferent look.
“In that case, then why did that War God not destroy those secret cultivation books?” Bai Yuqing asked in a puzzled tone.
“Rumour has it that when he obtained those rare books, the War God said that he would reverse these evil techniques, turn evil into good. After all, those evil secret books were also considered the creation of the ancestors of the Human Race. There were rumours that the War God felt that there were no good or evil in martial arts, evil or good is in the heart, so he did not destroy the books. In any case these are all rumours. Later, when the War God disappeared, these evil cultivation books were sealed in the armoury of the [Light Palace].” The one-armed nun sighed.
“Master seems to think highly of the War God,” Bai Yuqing said.
The one-armed nun smiled, “I had a brief encounter with him back then. I have seen his graceful bearing, that person is indeed unique, absolutely unrivalled, a rare talent of the Human Race. There were many that feared him and many that admired and worshiped him. If you have the chance to see that person, you would most likely fall for his charm.”
Seeing her master’s expression, Bai Yuqing could not help her heartbeat quickening, thinking that romance is in the air, but since it involved her master she ultimately did not have the nerve to question further.
After a brief while, Bai Yuqing asked gain, “Then why did we come here today to watch? To help the [Light Palace] at the critical moment?”
The one armed nun shook her head. “If the [Light Palace] cannot hold itself, even if master, I, help out, I cannot control the overall situation. We shall silently watch and see how the situation develops. Back then, when the War God fought the sects, there was a sect called Qing Dao Sect that had a rare book called Viewing the Ways of the World Scripture. It can dissolve the trouble of one’s body. Once the [Light Palace] is breached, we will find an opportunity to enter the armoury to find the scripture.”
“Ah?” Bai Yuqing did not think that would be answer. “So we came to profit from someone’s misfortune.” In front of her master, Bai Yuqing was without any defense or disguise. She was not as distant and cold as she was before in White Deer Academy, instead she was like an innocent girl. After all, she was only 18 years old. She said grinning, “Master, you are the famous Divine Buddhist Nun, you’re not here to help your idol?”
The one armed nun replied indifferently, “Power cannot solve everything, some things cannot be forced, rushing to the fore would only bring disaster.”
Bai Yuqing stuck out her tongue and said, “This is not what you taught me, you taught me to have a strong sense of justice.”
“You girl, you’re so talkative today,” the one armed nun cast a doting glance at Bai Yuqing, smiling slightly, “I know that you and that Lord of the Light Palace were schoolmates in White Deer Academy. That young man is also a rare genius, it’s a miracle he had come this far, could it be that you like that Lord of the Light Palace?”
The expression on Bai Yuqing’s face abruptly changed. “Master what are you talking about, that kid was just a nobody when at the academy. The men in this world, hmph, I have no interest in them.”
“My Qionglai Sect follows the Buddha, but does not prohibit disciples to go into the society, you’re also committed to cultivation. If there is someone that you like, Master will not stop you, you have to think well,” the one-armed nun said indifferently.
Bai Yuqing stubbornly pretended she was perfectly calm, and very bluntly changed the topic. “Why does master know that in the armoury of the [Light Palace], there must be the Viewing the Ways of the World Scripture of the Qing Dao Sect?”
How would the one-armed Divine Buddhist Nun not know what this girl was thinking about, but she did not pointed it out and answered, “I have fought with the master of the Qing Dao Sect back then, and have seen the wonder of the Viewing the Ways of the World Scripture. This scripture was originally created by a bodhisattva in the ancient times. It is extremely marvellous, and it was because of this scripture that led to the establishment of Qing Dao Sect. Unfortunately, before the mystery of the scripture had been thoroughly comprehended, I defeated the master of the Qing Dao Sect with the scripture of the west wilderness. Since his cultivation level was not good enough I let him off once, but that person is vengeful and brought all the experts of the Qing Dao Sect to kill me...”
“What?” Bai Yuqing said, stomping her feet in anger. “That person is an elder of a faction, and is also considered a master. His status is not low, how could he act so despicably?”
The one armed nun smiled faintly. “You have not experienced that era a hundred of years ago, so you do not know how dark the period when sects dominated was. There were many cases of sects being destroyed and families being wiped out due to one wrong sentence. But it was also because I was too careless that I... Didn’t you asked master before why I only have one arm? It was that battle, when the great elder of the Qing Dao Sect chopped it off!”
“Ah?” Bai Yuqing was really shocked. “Then...”
“I was almost killed, but the Four Great God Generals of the War God passed by and saved me, that was the brief encounter. For me, I felt eternal gratitude to them for saving my life.”
When the one armed nun was talking about her heart-shaking past events, she wore an indifferent look on her face, and was calm and composed.
She seemed to have completely let go of the past already.
Bai Yuqing was standing by her side.
The two people did not say anything else, quietly standing at the top of the first tower in the Imperial household’s courtyard, looking at the sky in the distance. The Battle of the [Light Palace] was in full swing.
……
The golden coiled dragon cudgel was fractured into two, falling from the void.
When it was dropping down from over one thousand meters, suddenly there was a golden light flashing, and soon after the solid body of the cudgel suddenly dissipated like mist. The two sections of golden cudgel had completely disappeared.
But within Ye Qingyu’s eyes, there was a light flickering. He immediately understood that it had not completely disappeared, but the spiritual qi had scattered, and that yellow mist was in fact the yellow spiritual qi that had dissipated between the heaven and earth, while the real golden coiled dragon cudgel was turned into...
Two strands of hair.
To be precise, it was a light yellow hair cut into two.
“So that golden coiled dragon cudgel was transformed from a strand of yellow hair, because that bald-headed Brute expert had fractured it, it revealed its true form... Is that a strand of monkey hair, is it a wisp of divine thought of the Spiritual monkey battle companion?”
This thought flashed across Ye Qingyu’s mind.
But very soon he did not care about this.
At present, the most important thing was that, the divine thought of the Spiritual monkey battle companion was broken, the golden cudgel having been split into two. Does that mean the spiritual monkey battle companion was unable to fight again? If this monkey was dead, who could fight against the bald-headed Brute expert in the sky?
Ye Qingyu attempted to call the Spiritual monkey, but did not receive the slightest of response.
It was as if he really had been killed.
Ye Qingyu was a little worried.
Could it be that silly dog Little Nine was right, this monkey is not reliable. Before, it repeatedly assured that everything is proceeding according to its plan, and repeatedly encouraged themselves, so they agreed to the monkey’s plan. They did not expect the monkey to be gone when the situation was proceeding to plan...
Was it deceiving them?
“Lord of The Light Palace Ye Qingyu is brutal and unreasonable, immature and incompetent, kill!”
In the sky, that bald-headed Brute giant roared, his voice reverberating like thunder, and like before, he turned his hand over and slashed across the air, and a blast of qi gushed up to the sky. Then the wave of threatening strong qi descended, like a transparent sword, swinging down at the [Light Palace]——
