Chapter 1849: Chapter 1849: Martial Arts Rain

The time since Xiao Yi’s ’death’ had been exactly ten days.

Within the Asura Main Hall.

The Asura Hall Master and the Wind Shattering Palace Master still sat in the grand hall.

They were silent, as if deep in thought.

Rumble... rumble... rumble...

Outside the hall, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Now and then, an electrifying flash sparked outside the hall’s door.

The fleeting blue electric light also brushed across the faces of the two aged Masters of the Main Hall.

It was in this brief glance that the complex expressions on their faces could be seen.

Cold, sorrowful, angry, but mostly filled with helplessness.

In the hall, which had been silent for a long time, it was still the Asura Hall Master who first opened his mouth.

"Wind Shattering, you should return."

"Just sitting here with me is useless."

"In your Wind Shattering Main Hall, the affairs must be incredibly complex."

As the Wind Shattering Hall Master, in charge of the world’s intelligence, the Wind Shattering Palace Master was naturally extremely busy.

But likewise, the Asura Hall Master also had incredibly burdensome affairs within the hall.

Yet the Asura Hall Master showed no sign of wanting to get up.

The Wind Shattering Palace Master let out a bitter smile, "I’m just here keeping you company."

"How many years have we known each other? I can’t even remember."

"But I vaguely remember back when you and I were young, exploring the Central Region together."

"I recall at that time, you were just like that Xiao Yi kid, doing what you pleased, running around causing trouble and stirring up a host of enemies."

"But you’re like that too, always wanting to handle everything yourself."

"Going on adventures with you nearly got me killed."

"But you and I, back then, were luckier because the Eight Palaces were still united."

"Even if we caused big trouble, there were still eight old guys to back us up."

"Ha." The Asura Hall Master finally showed a barely detectable smile.

The figure that had been sitting still finally began to rise slowly.

Sighing, the Asura Hall Master walked toward the entrance of the hall.

Just after stepping out, a Main Hall Master hurried over.

"What’s the matter?" the Asura Hall Master asked.

"Hall Master," the Main Hall Master reported, "for ten days, there’s been constant heavy rain, quite abnormal."

"What is so abnormal about that?" the Asura Hall Master smiled faintly.

"If the sky wants to rain, that is the rule."

"Not just ten days; even a month of continuous rain is normal, so why the fuss."

The moment the Asura Hall Master’s voice fell.

In the sky, a figure swiftly flew through the air.

"Chengfeng?" whispered the Wind Shattering Palace Master.

The newly arrived was indeed the Chengfeng Hall Master.

"Reporting to the Masters of the Main Hall." As Chengfeng Hall Master landed, his face was already tinged with urgency.

"What’s wrong?" the Wind Shattering Palace Master frowned and asked.

Chengfeng Hall Master spoke hurriedly, "For ten days, there has been a deluge of rain throughout the Central Region."

"The incessant rain is forming floods."

"In many areas, the floods are surging, reaching a height of a hundred meters."

The Wind Shattering Palace Master’s face changed, "Are there casualties?"

"None." Chengfeng Hall Master shook his head, "The rain doesn’t stop, the floods surge, but martial artists can avoid it by flying, resist it with sand, or block it with earthen walls."

"So there are no casualties."

The Wind Shattering Palace Master nodded at this news.

To martial artists, a torrential downpour was really nothing.

"However, this anomaly..." Chengfeng Hall Master frowned, looking at the two Masters.

The Asura Hall Master, hearing this, suddenly stretched out his aged hand to feel the endless raindrops falling outside the hall’s eaves.

In just a few seconds, the Asura Hall Master’s face changed dramatically.

"No, this is Martial Arts Rain."

"What?" The Wind Shattering Palace Master’s face changed as well, "Martial Arts Rain?"

The Wind Shattering Palace Master also reached out his hand, feeling the pouring rain.

Originally, rain was nothing out of the ordinary.

The two Masters had never paid attention, nor cared.

But now, having carefully sensed it, their expressions drastically changed.

"It’s bad." The Asura Hall Master’s face had already changed.

"Master, what is Martial Arts Rain?" Chengfeng Hall Master asked with confusion.

The Asura Hall Master withdrew his hand, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing afar into the sky.

"Martial Arts Rain is the heavens, weeping."

The Wind Shattering Palace Master’s face tightened, solemnly uttering, "That Crown has fallen."

"The sky is weeping?" Chengfeng Hall Master was puzzled, flinching, looking at the two.

"Chengfeng, your level hasn’t reached it; even explaining wouldn’t make sense," the Asura Hall Master shook his head.

"Do you remember, I once told you, that the sky has thoughts?"

"I remember," Chengfeng Hall Master nodded, "but I don’t understand."

The Asura Hall Master nodded, speaking solemnly, "Heaven and Earth Laws are the sky’s thoughts."

"You can say the heaven has no thoughts."

"But this sky, in fact, follows and enforces the Heaven and Earth Laws entirely."

"In general, any matter triggering the Heaven and Earth Laws has corresponding portents, meaning the sky, too, has thoughts."

"Like now, this ten-day deluge?" Chengfeng Hall Master asked, half-understood.

The Asura Hall Master nodded, "Exactly."

"But why weep?" Chengfeng Hall Master pursued.

The Asura Hall Master solemnly replied, "Because that Crown was the only entity able to stand equal with this world."

"The will of that Crown was once equal to the will of this world."

"And now, that Crown has fallen."

"The only one who could stand equal to this world has fallen, so the heavens weep."

"Who was that Crown?" Chengfeng Hall Master asked in shock.

The Wind Shattering Palace Master blurted out, "Soul..."

Before he finished, the Asura Hall Master shot a glance, "Do not speak."

The Wind Shattering Palace Master’s face changed, nodding.

"Can’t tell?" Chengfeng Hall Master asked in confusion.

"Cannot," the Asura Hall Master shook his head, "that, too, is one of the Heaven and Earth Laws."

"When your cultivation reaches that level, you’ll naturally sense it and know."

"There’s no need to ask now."

...

At the same time.

In some distant, ancient place.

A woman was meditating, cultivating.

Suddenly, she cried out in pain, clutching her chest, her face slightly pale.

Beside her, a woman’s face changed, "Yiyi, what’s wrong?"

"Is it Heart Demon backlash again?"

The woman was Yiyi.

And that lady was naturally the Sect Master of the Holy Moon Sect.

"Master, I don’t know," Yiyi gritted her teeth, her face showing a hint of pain, "It’s just suddenly my heart hurts, it hurts so much."

The woman frowned, placing her fingertip on Yiyi’s forehead, sensing.

But her brows furrowed more deeply.

"Breathing stable, Primordial Power flowing, Martial Arts Bottleneck fully breached."

"The body has no major issues, why the sudden inner pain?"

"Could the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have problems? No, the Ice Moon Inheriting Heaven Fruit was cultivated by my own hands, nearly a million years old, it should help you breakthrough."

"No," Yiyi shook her head, "it’s just... merely heartache."

"Is it because of the gentleman?" Yiyi’s body trembled.
