Chapter 1158: Evil!

"It's a shame. Since then, I always feel there is something wrong in my true heart." Ye Xiao smiled bitterly, "I did improve fast, but every time when I broke through to a new level, I felt choked. The feeling comes from deep inside my true heart."
"Every time when I felt it, understood that when I quit attempting the fruits, I didn't feel enlightened…"
"I felt fear."
"I just felt the pure horror in Heaven's Terrace that day!"
"That is the reason why I stopped at the top of level nine. I couldn't get any progress after that. I never had the chance to enter the Tittle Phase!"
Ye Xiao took a long breath and said, "For so many years, that fear has always been hiding inside my heart!"
"Even though I have experienced death, even though I have gained greater opportunity in this life, even though I may go further and higher than what I achieved in the previous life, the fear… will always be a flaw of me!"
Ye Xiao looked casual, spoke peacefully, but showed a little bitterness in his eyes.
Yue Shuang and Yue Han looked at each other. They were both wordless.
They were all experts in cultivation. They all had reached the same level. The feeling that Ye Xiao was telling them wasn't strange to them!
That fear… The stagnation of cultivation… It was evil in the heart!
Once the evil appeared, it would always stay!
If they couldn't defeat the evil, they would stop progressing, just as Ye Xiao said. If things went worse, they might get reverse impact by the evilness and degenerate… It could even put their lives at risk!
The only way to keep away from the impact was to defeat the evil!
Ye Xiao's evil was from Heaven's Terrace, the dangerous area, the restricted place in Qing-Yun Realm!
Could he be that lucky?
"I am not a sole case after all. Heaven's Terrace has given almost everyone a dream, but one thing was undeniable." Ye Xiao sullenly said, "Whoever have been to Heaven's Terrace, whether dead or alive, have eternally lost their chance to reach the peak of cultivation once they failed to get the fruits!"
"We all have the same evil in the heart!"
"Not just me. Li Wuliang is the same. Wuliang and I both had reached the top of level nine of Dao Origin Stage, yet we were still unable to rival Xuan Bing or Wu Fa. Why?"
"I am an individual cultivator. I don't have the support of a great sect. I barely know anything about the phases beyond level nine! But this is not the main reason!" Ye Xiao said, "The main reason is that… I have been to Heaven's Terrace!"
"Wu Fa went to Heaven's Terrace too, but he got the fruits! Xuan Bing has never been to that place. She has been concentrated in Ling Xiao Ice Art of Misty Cloud Place! She believes she can make it to the peak of Dao Origin Stage by herself, without the power from Heaven's Terrace!"
"For me, Xuan Bing will sooner or later become the most powerful cultivator in Qing-Yun Realm!"
"Wu Fa became the best with the help of the fruits. That was luck after all! That luck from Heaven's Terrace will always be his evil in the heart!"
Ye Xiao spoke word by word, "Li Wuliang, Han Bingxue, Jun Yinglian, and I… We all have been to Heaven's Terrace!"
"If I can't defeat the evil, then even if we finally took revenge and killed the three factions, we will be still under the suppression of Xuan Bing, Wu Fa and others!"
"We will never have our opportunity to rise up to the top!"
"Not only me, but all you two, Lian Lian, Li Wulaing, Han Bingxue… We all will be suppressed and restrained."
"We may be some legendary figures in ordinary cultivators' eyes in Qing-Yun Realm, but we know it ourselves, that we are far lower than Wu Fa and Xuan Bing, even though people keep saying we are in the same league. It is like a difference between sky and earth!"
"In fact, even if we fight together against Xuan Bing or Wu Fa, we may still lose!"
Ye Xiao wasn't peaceful and calm anymore. He looked fierce. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to live like that anymore!"
"I, Ye Xiao, have to laugh out loud upon all other heroes in this world! I must see the worlds casually! If I can't…" Ye Xiao sullenly said, "What is the point even if I am fully recovered?"
"As long as there are people suppressing you, staying upon you, you will never truly be free to travel the martial world!"
His eyes were in heat. At this moment, there seemed to be a flame burning inside his eyes.
He suddenly recollected those scenes.
The sword was tearing apart the firmament! The saber was overwhelming the world!
The flowers were covering the entire universe!
[That is the height I want to reach!] Ye Xiao talked to himself.
Yue Shuang and Yue Han both stayed quiet. They were both true superior cultivators. How could they not understand how Ye Xiao felt?
They knew that Ye Xiao was being honest with them.
He meant every word he said.
Yue Han clicked her tongue and weakly said, "But… For me… As long as we stay together… safe and happy… I will be satisfied without being invincible in the world…"
Yue Shuang quickly nodded, "That's right! Brother, what do you say? It could also be a great achievement that we stay together forever!"
Ye Xiao looked at the two girls with his sentimental and soft eyes. He made a sigh slowly and said, "That's different, silly girl."
The two ladies lowered their heads sorrowfully but pouted.
"It's decided." Ye Xiao indisputably made an end to the conversation. "Tomorrow morning, you two take my father to Qiong-Hua Palace and take my mother home."
He looked at the two ladies and said, "I believe you can do it for me, can't you?"
The two girls didn't answer, just biting their lips.
"If you can't, or you don't want to, I won't bother you, elders of Qiong-Hua Palace. I will go by myself." Ye Xiao humphed and for the first time, he talked to them coldly.
The two girls were frightened. "Brother, please… Don't do this. We can do it! We definitely can!"
Their eyes were filled with tears. They said, "But we want to go to Heaven's Terrace with you… It is too dangerous…"
Ye Xiao glared at them and said, "Don't you dare! You have never been to that place. You haven't even thought of going, have you? You have your own paths to go into the world of cultivation, sisters. You will be some dominant figures that are powerful enough to rival Xuan Bing and Wu Fa! You don't need the fruits. No matter what reason you think you have, don't go… Don't be pessimistic about it. I am living my second life. I have experienced the wonderfulness of living. I won't just give up on my life."
He looked into the distance and spoke gently, "Don't worry. If I am not certain, I will rather let the evil stay in my heart… I promise I will come back to you."
"Is it real?" The two ladies lip up their eyes.
"Absolutely!" Ye Xiao casually smiled, looking at the two ladies, who were still two silly little girls for him.
