Chapter 340: Punishment and Epiphany
"Abbot..." Xuan Ke muttered and looked at the girl in shock.
However, the girl didn’t care about his shock and started to stroke his little brother.
"Brother Ke, don’t you like this?" She asked in a sweet voice and Xuan Ke relaxed.
’What was that? Was it an illusion? I may be too tired.’ He thought and suppressed the discomfort in his mind.
After suppressing the illusion, he began to enjoy the feeling of being served by the numerous girls.
"Brother Ke is so handsome."
"Brother Ke is mighty."
"Brother Ke, I want to have a little monkey with you."
Hearing this praise, he completely let go of the last discomfort and indulged in the situation.
"Come, come, your brother Ke will give you a little monkey." While saying that, he lifted one of the girls and placed her on his lap.
At the same time, his hands snaked under her clothes and kneaded her chest.
"Brother Ke..." The girl screamed and Xuan Ke froze.
This time, he was sure.
With horror on his face, he tossed the girl and sat up on the big bed.
"Brother Ke, is something wrong?" One of the girls asked.
"If you don’t like sister San, I can come."
"I can also come."
"No, brother Ke is mine."
"Brother Ke..."
Listening to the girls fighting, Xuan Ke was horrified.
This was because all the girls were speaking using the voice of the abbot of the Great Thunder God Temple.
’Am I having a nightmare?’ He wondered and slapped himself.
Outside the illusion, Jiang Yue was laughing wildly.
’It’s a miserable fate to provoke this child.’ Yang Xu thought and looked at the water mirror in sympathy.
"It’s a pity that Brother Xuan doesn’t learn from his past mistakes." Li Futian muttered and shook his head.
When he, Yang Xu, and Bing Lan left seclusion, they encountered the scene of Jiang Yue watching the show and laughing out of his mind.
At first, they were curious and joined in watching the show.
However, things took such a dark turn and they couldn’t help but sympathise with the monk.
"Brother Jiang, what did Brother Xuan do?" Li Futian asked.
When he heard the question, Jiang Yue suppressed his mirth and a sneer appeared on his face.
"You don’t know..." He started and his sneer turned uglier.
"Your good brother disgusted me with a book of erotic pictures."
"In fact, I am not punishing him. Since he likes this kind of thing, I decided to help him a little."
’Brother Xuan will definitely be traumatised by this "generous gift".’ Li Futian thought but didn’t dare to say it aloud.
"Okay, you have played enough. You can let him out now." Yang Xu said.
"Let him stay for another incense stick of time." Yu Nianzhen said and the others turned to him.
"If we don’t teach him a good lesson, he won’t have a long memory." He said and his eyes turned cold.
When the others saw this, they couldn’t help but shudder and didn’t dare to intercede for Xuan Ke.
’Brother, I have done my best and failed to help you. You can only blame yourself for provoking people who shouldn’t be provoked.’ Li Futian thought and sighed.
After that, the five ignored Xuan Ke’s life and death and sat to talk.
"According to the previous plan, the next place is the Valley of Stars." Yang Xu said and everyone nodded.
They were all looking forward to the Valley of Stars.
From what they knew, the Valley of Stars was a star graveyard.
There were many treasures in the valley and all of them were greedy for one thing or the other.
"Unfortunately, too many cultivators came to this area because of the origin purifying peach fruits. They may have already taken all the treasures in the Valley of Stars." Jiang Yue said and the others turned a little solemn.
What Jiang Yue said was true.
Since a lot of cultivators couldn’t get the fruits, they probably went to the nearby areas.
In that case, the chance that the best treasures of the Valley of Stars would still be there when they arrived, was minimal.
However, none of the five was willing to give up.
The treasures in the Valley of Stars were too important so they could only treat a dead horse as if it was alive.
"If we don’t find anything, it means we don’t have a fate with those treasures." Bing Lan said.
"There is no need to get entangled if we don’t find anything. There are countless treasures in the Nine Treasures secret realm, we will eventually find what we need." Yang Xu added.
"I will start dismantling the surrounding formations." Jiang Yue said and stood up.
"I will help you." Yu Nianzhen said and also stood up.
"Brother Jiang, it’s been an incense stick of time." Li Futian reminded.
At the reminder, Jiang Yue didn’t continue to give Xuan Ke a hard time.
He deactivated the phantom formation and left with Yu Nianzhen to remove the formations.
Half a day later, the six left the area and headed towards the Valley of Stars.
The distance between the core area of the ancient forest and the edge of the Valley of Stars was considerable.
If things were like before, the six would have taken at least three months to travel the distance.
However, other cultivators had taken everything in the ancient forest and the six were not delayed by picking treasures.
Half a month later, they arrived at the border of the ancient forest and the Valley of Stars.
"It’s spectacular." Jiang Yue said and looked at the valley in awe.
The Valley of Stars was a land of falling stars.
A new star fell every few breaths and the descents formed a never-ending meteor shower.
"A lot of girls should like this. Do you think so, Brother Xuan?" He asked and turned to Xuan Ke.
When Xuan Ke heard the question, he shuddered in terror.
Since that incident, he didn’t even want to think about girls.
The very mention of girls made him panic a little which was the opposite of how he used to be.
[I think I have done a bad thing.] Jiang Yue transmitted to Yu Nianzhen.
Originally, he just wanted to teach his good brother a lesson.
He didn’t plan to traumatise him so badly but he couldn’t say that he truly regretted his actions.
Knowing Xuan Ke, it was only a matter of time before he bounced back.
When that happened, Jiang Yue had a feeling his life would become less peaceful.
[Forget it. He will be fine in a while.] He said but didn’t wait for Yu Nianzhen’s answer.
At a loss, he turned to Yu Nianzhen and found his husband in a trance.
The person was unblinkingly staring at the valley of stars and his body exuded an intense sense of detachment.
’Is he having an epiphany?’ Jiang Yue wondered and immediately reacted.
[Master, mistress, Brother Xuan, Brother Li, Azhen has fallen into an epiphany. Please help me protect him.] Jiang Yue transmitted and the others didn’t hesitate.
They moved a distance and kept a lookout for the surroundings to prevent others from disturbing the swordsman.
In this way, time passed.
When Yu Nianzhen woke up, it was already eight days later.
"Brother Yu, congratulations on your epiphany." Li Futian said and the others echoed the sentiment.
"Thank you." Yu Nianzhen said with a small smile on his lips.
As soon as he saw the valley of stars, a mysterious sense entered his mind. This sense resonated with his falling star and meteor fall sword moves.
Before he knew it, he entered a state of selflessness and was fascinated by the descent of the falling stars.
In eight days, his comprehension of the meanings of destruction and speed improved a lot. Because of this, his swordsmanship, especially falling star and meter fall had become a lot more powerful.
’If I exert my falling star sword move to its limit, I may be able to kill an early-stage core formation realm cultivator with one move.’ He thought and couldn’t help but be a little excited.
However, he suppressed his excitement and faced the others.
"Did anything happen when I was in epiphany?" He asked.
"Nothing we couldn’t handle." Jiang Yue answered.
When Yu Nianzhen was an epiphany, a few cultivators stumbled upon them.
Fortunately, those cultivators were only trying to cross the border and were not hostile to them.
After asking them to detour, those cultivators did not make a fuss. They just went their way and never reappeared.
"I have been thinking and I feel we were worrying too much." Bing Lan suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" Yang Xu asked.
"Senior Bing should be talking about the Valley of Stars?" Li Futian inquired.
"Exactly." Bing Lan said and nodded.
"Stars fall every few breaths. Even if the place was previously cleaned out, it doesn’t mean that other treasures haven’t already appeared."
"Senior Bing is right." Xuan Ke exclaimed happily.
