Chapter 557: Chapter 557

After Shen Jueyang took away the three from the North, scrambling took over the whole north and the cultivators fighting for the treasures had once again begun. Of course, they didn’t fight enough to destroy the forest as such a thing is forbidden. However, none of this had something to do with the Moon Goddess and her group.

Shen Jueyang gave a few talismans he made to the couple knowing that they are going to look for that useless disciple of his.

He said, "Since you are heading to the south, keep this for protection. One talisman is capable of killing a Mahayama Realm Being. Use it as you will. Tell that stupid disciple to learn these and I will test him when I have time."

The Immortal Sun Emperor gave a book about talismans making a divine grade one as well as fire control technique called Fire God’s Fire control over the world and it’s the same level as the book of talisman.

Shen Jueyang added, "Tell that stupid disciple of mine if he failed to make at least one of those talismans, I’m going to burn him alive for the second time!"

Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue clasped their hands and bowed in their heads, "As you will!"

Only when Shen Jueyang had left did the couple finally relax. After all, there is a huge difference between him with and without the Moon Goddess by his side.

Xue Renxue felt nervous talking with the Immortal Sun Emperor. Most of the time, Shen Jueyang would ignore them. The only one who can get his attention even for a bit are family members of the Moon Goddess and his full attention only for the Moon Goddess herself.

He said, "This senior is truly scary. His presence alone is overwhelming."

{What are you so surprised about? This exalted one is an Imperial Immortal, an Ancient God. Even in the Immortal World he is considered one of the strongest.}

{If he is in his real form you wouldn’t be able to see him much less be in his presence. You would explode just by his excess aura.}

{What you are seeing right now is just an avatar, a clone not his real body. His real body might be destroyed. But for his original realm, returning to his peak is easy as long as there are enough resources.}

{The only reason he might be staying in this world is for your master, the Moon Goddess. Once the Moon Goddess ascends beyond Huashen Realm, they will leave this planet.}

{If you don’t want to leave behind cultivate seriously. Only those at Huashen Realm can leave their original world.}

The explanation of the Snow Leopard Spirit Beast rendered the couple speechless. Though they knew the existence of the worlds beyond, they haven’t seen it for themselves, that’s why it’s hard to feel the pressure. However, it’s different now. They didn’t want to be left behind by their master.

Tan Bingyu said, "Now that we have the Ice Phoenix Herb, I should try to break through into the Huashen Realm."

{Indeed, that herb is enough for you. But Renxue isn’t, his body possessed both fire and ice, his cultivation technique hasn’t even reached mastery. He will need one more important herb, the Fire Phoenix Herb. Only when eaten with Ice Phoenix Herb would his body not explode.} The Snow Leopard Spirit Beast said

Xue Renxue looked bewildered and asked, "Where can I get this Fire Phoenix Herb?"

{There are in the Hall of Fire. I know where it is. But you must solidify your Realm to Peak Yuanying before bringing you over there to get some.}

Xue Renxue smiled and pats Baimei’s head and said, "Thank you. If there is something you need for your cultivation you must tell us, we will help you find it as well."

{In my case as long as I eat a lot of energy from the world I can increase my realm once I’ve accumulated enough.}

Tan Bingyu said, "So you need spirit food. I guess I need to ask the Mistress to teach me how to make some."

"I will study with you," Xue Renxue said. "Since there is nothing much to earn in this hall it’s better to learn under the Mistress instead."

"For now, let’s head to the south and find father and grandpa," Tan Bingyu said.

The three flew towards the south and no longer rode on Baimei’s back as they weren’t truly in a hurry. They can take their time on the way, as it would only take a few hours anyway.

Meanwhile in the east region...

A ruined ancient palace can be seen. When Yue Xuexia arrived she descended looking at the Ancient Crimson Palace and for some reason it gave her a feeling of deja vu. However, she never cared much about this feeling at all.

Yue Xuexia who was cradling a closed bud of the Golden Lotus Flower Spirit, Xiao Jin, noticed that the little one in her arms seems to want something from the inside.

She mumbles, "There is something inside that can help you shape your human form?" A small vine wraps around her left pinky finger as if giving an answer to her question.

"Alright. Show me the way," said Yue Xuexia as she walked towards the Ancient Crimson Palace by foot.

As soon as she steps forward she feels something heavy is falling onto her, however, with her max physique it was useless to use pressure or coercion to stop her movements. She has adjusted her strength and walks forward with grace and elegance as if there is nothing wrong with the stone stairs.

Even though she is lazy by nature for the sake of her people, she is willing to make a move. As she walks towards the Ancient Crimson Palace, the other cultivators who were waiting at the gates watch as the Moon Goddess enters the premises of the Ancient Palace.

A few cultivators both at Huashen and Yuanying realms came out of their hiding and couldn’t believe why the Moon Goddess could enter the palace while when they tried to enter they were pushed by something inside. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NoveIꜰire.net

"How come she can enter!?"

"Watch your mouth! Do you not know who that is!?"

"That’s the Moon Goddess! Compared to us, she is a few levels above us."

"Offend her and you might not be killed by her but the man by her side. Offend those on her side and she will kill you without mercy."

"She doesn’t get angry if I offend her but gets mad if I touch her people. Who are her people then?"

"The Starfield Sect, and Hidden Tan Clan."

"No wonder. No one targets them!"

"You can try. But if she heard about you it would be deader than dead."

"Hey! Maybe we can enter now because she entered."

The cultivators who were targeting the place slowly walk towards the long stone stairs going towards the palace. Those who tried to fly in were blocked by something invisible. Those who tried to walk felt a heavy pressure falling on their bodies. The Yuanying Realm cannot even move a step while those at Huashen Realm can bear to take a few steps.

"What... the hell... is this?!"

"Only Huashen Realm can enter? That’s the bare minimum! Those at Yuanying Realm, back off!!!"

Those at Yuanying Realm can only leave the stone stair where the pressure no longer exists. In the end, only those at Huashen Realm were able to follow the Moon Goddess as they walked towards the stone stairs leading to the palace. There are only three old men who look scholarly from some unknown clans or sect that isn’t well-known.

Every step they took forward gave them a feeling of hardship they’ve forgotten in their youthful days. As if they returned to when they were only in their teens climbing the stairs as one of their sects or clan’s trials. What was it like to be weak? When you grow strong will you still remember what it is like to be weak?

The Huashen Realm cultivators at the stone stair were given the trial of such questions. However, they no longer remember the past they had cut off to reach the future. The Moon Goddess is different. She didn’t merge with her past self. The past and the current exist without a future still unknown out there. That’s why the trial couldn’t do anything to her.

She exists in the past and her past still exists. The her when she is the weakest and the current her who is struggling to become the strongest. Her current strength isn’t her peak even though she is strong in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of her enemies she is barely enough.

The Immortal Sun Emperor also thought so and that’s the reason he had been by her side. Until she could stand on her own two feet, he was willing to stand by her side and protect her.
