Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 388: Ancient Moon God
Chapter 388: 388: Ancient Moon God
Midnight. In some unknown cave within the Cultivation Realm...
Su Lili had somehow changed, but not completely. She still sees Yue Yuya as her husband and her daughters as children. What changes are in her demeanor, presence, and personality. As if a higher being inhabited her body, another version of herself.
Summoning bloodline connection through blood is very hard to use. Though this skill can transcend time and space, hardly anyone can use it. However, with the moon as a medium, the direct bloodline of the Yue Clan can do it. Su Lili, original identity, Immortal Moon Palace’s Empress Yue Suli, used this ability to contact her father in the Immortal World. This is a secret technique that only those of the Yue Clan’s bloodline can use.
Mama Yue summoned her artifact, Zhen Yue, a chest armor. It’s her natal artifact that can transform at will.
"Zhen Yue, transform into the form of a fan," said Mama Yue.
{As you wish, Master!} Zhen Yue responded.
The chest armor on her chest glows and transforms into a silver fan similar to Yue Xuexia’s moon-severing fan. Holding a fan in her hand, Mama Yue came out of the cave with her two daughters and husband. Papa left his daughter on the ground directly under the moonlight.
As one of the beloved children of the moon, Mama Yue was able to connect all the moons in existence. Using her blood as a guide, the white moon above her head had slowly turned red.
Likewise, the moon above the Yue Clan had turned the same shade as well. On this side, Yue Zhiyan, the ancestor of the Yue Clan as well as the father of Mama Yue in her original body, had been contacted by this connection.
{Father... Father, can you hear me?}
Yue Zhiyan, who was meditating under the full moon, suddenly looked up when he heard his daughter’s voice.
He calls, "Lili?"
{It’s me, Father. I need your help with something. My clone had given birth to these children, but they were born mortal. Also, we found Xue’er.} Mama Yue said.
Yue Zhiyan said, "You found Xue’er!? That’s great! Bring her back now with your other children. Are they females or males?"
{These two are daughters. You have two other granddaughters,} Mama Yue said.
Yue Zhiyan sounds happy after hearing that he has two other granddaughters. "Granddaughter is better. The sons of your family are so much like your husband—so annoying. Granddaughters are lovely, cuter than men."
"Where are my granddaughters? I will descend to your coordinates and pick you up now," said Yue Zhiyan as he left his vessel and entered the moon to meet his other granddaughters.
This moon is connected to the moon above Mama Yue, and in an instant, the old man traverses time and space to enter the Cultivation Realm of the Exiled Star. Yue Zhiyan, this old monster possessed the Cultivation Tribulation Stage with 3 halos. If not for the fact that he was injured while protecting the clan from the Star Race, he wouldn’t look like a haggard, handsome uncle with white hair and black eyes. He was wearing a black inner and white outer robe with a moon pattern, even though the crescent moon on his forehead looks like a crown. He is also the first Moon God of the Yue Clan.
Yue Zhiyan looked down and immediately found his daughter. Even though Mama Yue’s appearance is that of a mortal, he can recognize her at first sight. Of course, he frowned a bit, sensing Papa Yue, who was bowing his head, greeting him.
Mama Yue said, "Father, you come."
"Yuya greets Father," Papa Yue said.
Yue Zhiyan said, "After blocking Xue’er’s tribulation, we thought you had died. It seems that this small star was enough to heal you, which is good."
"Please take Xiao Ji and Ruru’s souls with you and leave a wisp so they can continue controlling these bodies," Mama Yue said.
Yue Zhiyan frowned, "Why do you speak as if you two are not coming back with me? Now that Yuya’s soul has been restored and the missing half of Xue’er’s soul is back, there is no need for you to remain in this place. What star possessed such abundant qi? This is rare for a small star."
"Father, we are in the Exiled Star. This small world seems to be a possession of Xue’er. Moreover, we can’t return with you yet," Papa Yue said.
Yue Zhiyan was a bit surprised and looked around. "That trash star called the Prison Star is in this place. Xue’er had hidden this treasure well. I can even feel a World Tree sapling in this star. Once it is fully grown, it will become another immortal world."
"By the way, what do you mean you can’t return yet?"
This Moon God’s aura turns as cold as the icy moon in the middle of the night. His approachable demeanor when seeing his family had also faded. It seems he is a bit unhappy. However, I was already used to how grumpy this old man is. When it comes to mood swings, this old man is the worst.
Mama Yue hid behind her husband and said, "Father, calm down. Let us explain. The reason for this is mostly because of Xue’er. Not only did she not want to merge her souls, but there is also something that involves you."
"What do you mean it also involves me?" asked Yue Zhiyan.
Papa Yue said, "Father, one of the soul wisps you threw in the lower realm before, one of them was found here. Also, there is Mother’s soul fragment in this world."
As expected, once the old man heard about his beloved’s existence in this world, he reacted too strongly.
Yue Zhiyan said, "What do you mean that Lun’er has a soul fragment in this world!? Answer me!"
"When Father had thrown a bit of your soul wisp in the lower realm, Mother had also done so. For some reason, she also appeared in this world. The young Ancient Elf King and the World Tree, Anastasia, had made her their daughter. Thus, the possibility of her awakening her original soul might happen in the future," Papa Yue explained.
Yue Zhiyan was stunned, and he looked in a daze and finally met his daughter’s eyes. "Lili, is it true... your mother? It’s not a mistake."
"I will not mistake Mother for someone else. It is definitely her and her husband in his world that is Father’s soul wisp," said Mama Yue.
He asked, "Is she in this realm?" Mama and Papa Yue nodded their heads, and this was enough for the old man.
Yue Zhiyan used his divine consciousness to sweep through the whole Cultivation Realm just to find one person. As expected, it was easy for this Moon God to find his soul and see Su Hialun, and as if finding the treasure he lost, he stared in dazed disbelief and couldn’t believe what he was seeing as something real. A teardrop slipped through the left eye of this Moon God.
He mumbles, "It was truly her."
Without any hesitation, he cut a piece of his soul and threw it in the direction where Su Hialun and his soul wisp are. This piece of soul will allow his soul wisp to become his real soul fragment, and like his daughter, he should be able to descend in his world sometime. After the problem with his soul fragment was resolved, he focused on Yue Xuexia’s situation.
Yue Zhiyan said, "The problem with your mother is resolved. What about the problem of Xue’er? Why does she refuse to merge her souls?"
"About this father, Xue’er’s other soul was born as a mortal in this star. Plus, she inherited my bloodline’s problem, so she..." Papa Yue was unable to complete his words as he saw the darkening face of his father-in-law.
"You mean your crazy clan’s overprotectiveness towards family? So she has gotten attached to her mortal family in this world and doesn’t want to leave!" Yue Zhiyan exclaimed.
This powerful tribulation cultivator could only let out a helpless sigh and said, "Old Lightning’s temper was fully inherited by his descendant, and my granddaughter had to inherit it as well. Let’s beat him up once when we meet."
"Um..."
"Yuya, do you have a problem?"
"Nothing, Father!"
Hmph!
The Royal Lei Clan is indeed overprotective of its own. However, internal affairs between families can only be a friendly fight. As long as life is not involved, the young generation will not get involved in fighting within the family. The Ancient Moon God and the Ancient Lightning God are sworn brothers. That’s why the Lei Clan accepted Yue Yuya being married into the Yue Clan.
Yue Zhiyan grabbed the souls of Yue Yuya, Yue Jixia, and Yue Ruxia, leaving only a soul fragment in their mortal bodies. As for their soul core, he had taken it with him. Yue Yuya felt weakened with the loss of most of his soul.
He said to his son-in-law, "Your body only possesses Peak Mahayana Realm now that I have taken most of your soul. For this small world, that realm should be enough for you. Also..."
The Ancient Moon God, Yue Zhiyan, placed a soul transfer imprint in the body of the Yue family. So, in case something happened to them and their vessels had died, their soul would immediately return to their soul core, which he has with him. He looked at the brightening sky and noticed the power of the moon weakening. Once the night fades, the power of the moon decreases as well. This is the weakness of the Moon Clan; that’s why in their territory, the night is longer than the day.
Yue Zhiyan said, "It’s time for me to return. I will wait for you in the Upper Realm. Don’t worry about the clan; as long as I am alive, the Star Race is incapable of destroying us."
He slowly faded as his soul returned to the moon and transferred back to his world. Though he had taken his time and his return might be shaky, Yue Zhiyan didn’t care as long as he finished what he wanted to do. All of a sudden, another Moon Domain descended on the world. Its color was pure white, unlike the light blue one that Mama Yue had created. Even Yue Zhiyan’s domain is silver and not pure white. Only one person possessed a pure white Moon Domain. It’s Yue Xuexia.
The three adults were stunned, but they just smiled after.
Mama Yue said, "Father, it seems that Xue’er noticed your presence. Even though he didn’t know about you, half of her soul seems to acknowledge you. With her domain supporting the Moon, the connection should be stable enough to allow you to return safely."
Before Yue Zhiyan disappeared a small crack in the space beside the old man appeared and a slender hand reached out giving a storage ring to the old man. Currently Yue Xuexia’s body is occupied by Xuehua’s soul. The Moon Goddess, the Yue Clan knew.
"Grandfather, a gift from me and her to you and the clan. I don’t know when we will return, but... wait for us," Yue Xuehua said before the space crack was instantly repaired by the Heavenly Laws.
With a doting smile, Yue Zhiyan said, "Alright. Grandfather will wait for you."
Then he took his leave and returned to his original world with the soul cores of Yuya, Jixia and Ruxia. Although the Xuexia didn’t know what the adults had done or talked about, she still gave the authority of her body to Xuehua after noticing her grandfather’s presence and sent her gifts to her other family.
