Chapter 184 - Deity Of Slaughter's Palace Part Two

Ah Chun and Ning Shen continued on as they walked further into the palace. The main entry only had the pillars and a door at the end. Ah Chun opened the door and stepped through pulling Ning Shen along with her. But as soon as they stepped through the door Ah Chun stopped short causing Ning Shen to almost trip over her. In front of them was nothing. No floor, no walls, and no ceiling.  It was just a dark empty space with no end. Underfoot was a small platform that was only big enough to fit about five people of them

Ah Chun was about to say something to Ning Shen but an archaic voice sounded out. "Oh… To think such young ones made it into my palace… Even one who has yet to deviate from heaven's path. Hmm… I see it all makes sense now. Since this is the case I will help him along and set him on the correct path..." 

Before Ah Chun or Ning Shen could react a burst of spiritual power came out of Ning Shen. He cried out in pain before falling to his knees causing Ah Chun to panic! "Shen!"

Ning Shen was on his knees as sweat dripped from his forehead as he tried to endure the pain. The Archaic voice once again sounded out. "Do not worry little one… I am just assisting him to form his Qi Space… The pain he is undergoing is caused by destroying his Qi World and reforming it into a Qi Space. At least here within this palace, he will be safe from the heavenly tribulations. Allow him to sit and cultivate quietly. This process will take some time."

Ah Chun immediately sent her divine sense into Ning Shen. Seeing that what the voice said was true Ah Chun let out a sigh of relief. She leaned forward and kissed the top of Ning Shen's head. "Just concentrate on forming your Qi Space. I will keep watch over you." Ning Shen heard her words and gave a slight nod as he gritted his teeth. He did not think he would get such good fortune like this. If anything this was the best fortune he could have ever asked for! Now he would not hold back his Chun'er any more! 

"Mhm… To see such love and affection within the cultivation world is very rare. I have seen lovers who had been together for tens of thousands of years but they never had such eyes when they looked at each other.  Mmmm… I have decided. You two shall both inherit my legacy! Although I say this the two of you will still need to undergo the trials. The trials I have set up can only be passed by those who have started cultivating the true path of cultivation. The path that surpasses the heavens." The Archaic Voice said.

"You mean each of your tests is related to cultivating the stars?" Ah Chun asked. Her voice was eager to know more. She wanted to know more than anything about what it meant to actually cultivate the stars.

"Hmmm… I see… So you were able to gain its approval. Good! You are a very surprising little one indeed! To think that the star monument will once again resurface with in the world of cultivation! Mhm... Good! To answer your question little one. Each test indeed has something to do with cultivating the stars." Ah Chun's eyes widen in anticipation. 

"Can you tell me what or how one cultivates the stars?" The question that had been on her mind was just this. Ever since she read the carvings on the monolith she had been thinking about this.

"Once you have completed these trials everything will be explained. How much you can comprehend is up to the two of you. I am allowing the both of you to take these trials. Of course, you will be separated. Only when one is alone to try to comprehend what is in front of them can one really reach a state of enlightenment. There is no time limit. Whether it be one hundred years or tens of thousands of years. The time needed is up to your own comprehension. But be warned once you start these trials you can not leave until you have finished them. You have until the time it takes your partner to finish forming his Qi Space to decide." After leaving these final words the voice faded off. 

Ah Chun was stunned. If they decided to stay and take the trials they could not leave until they passed. Thinking of this Ah Chun knew no matter what she agreed upon Ning Shen would follow her without question. She only had one question to ask before she could fully make a decision. "Senior I have only one question before I make my decision. This place is full of Spiritual Qi are we able to cultivate in her in peace? Or will we have to still undergo our tribulations during a breakthrough?" 

"This space is blocked off from all of heaven's will. No matter how many breakthroughs you have no tribulation will come." The archaic voice once again faded.

Ah Chun smiled and bowed to the empty space "Thank you, senior. Shen and I will undergo the trials." Ah Chun had no idea how long these trials would take.

"Understood. When the young man finishes his breakthrough the trials will commence." Ah Chun smiled and returned her gaze to Ning Shen. Her gazed softened as she sat there watching over him.

Although Ah Chun had people waiting for her on the outside. It was not strange for a cultivator to disappear for years on end. Master Lin Fen had both Ning Shen and her create a life crystal that was placed in Master Lin Fen's care. He would know right away if something had happened to Ah Chun or Ning Shen. So there was no need to contact anyone. All She could do right now was stay by Ning Shen's side while he formed his Qi Space.
