Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 389: Punishment for Divination

The sudden appearance of the Supreme Elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect was a surprise. Moreover, they are so respectful towards Yue Xuexia. After all, who wouldn’t believe her? Her divination ability was so heavenly defying that everyone can see it for themselves. They can see their own faces on the scene that suddenly descended from the field of stars, and see a part of their future that hasn’t happened yet. Now the old man sees a path of survival from Yue Xuexia. They believe that her divination is real and could actually show them a path where they can survive.

Yue Xuexia didn’t respond right away, and only when the sect master nodded that he had given the answer to the senior before her.

She answered, "There are two paths you can choose. First, to gather all power in this city and defend it until reinforcements arrive. Though you will lose more than half of the living in this place, you will be able to survive. The second one is... to find someone to intimidate the Evil Dragon and force him to stop this beast riot. Someone has to be at least Mid Huashen Realm."

"I have answered three of your questions. My divination has reached the end. As a bonus, I can give you some information. In this city, there is a hidden Huashen realm cultivator; find that being and ask for help. That person is willing to help only if you have proper compensation. My divination quota for this month is done. I can only divine again after three months."

"My lady, please give us a hint of this being," begged Peak Master Guan Yueyi.

Yue Xuexia took back the field of stars and said, "This person is a lonely soul who wants to live a normal life."

"Lonely soul who yearns for the ordinary," the old supreme elder mumbles as if he had an inkling of who this being might be. It is just that he is unsure of it.

Yue Xuexia added, "I have said everything. Please leave. My heavenly calamity is for this divination to have arrived."

RUMBLES~

After Yue Xuexia said these words, the moment the field of stars was taken away, dark clouds loomed above the Three Sword Peak. It was gathered above the pavilion where Yue Xuexia is currently living. The sounds of rumbling can be heard from the sky, and the eerie atmosphere brought by this heavenly calamity spreads in the area.

"Grab all the disciples and retreat from this peak!" The supreme elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect said.

Seeing this, the supreme elder, the sect master, and Peak Master Guan had taken away all disciples on the Three Swords Peak, leaving Yue Xuexia to fend off the calamity that was meant for her for making a divination. The supreme elder even created an isolation barrier around the third peak to avoid the destructive effects of heavenly calamity from spreading. Yue Xuexia was actually not afraid; as for her, tribulation lightning is nothing more than a resource that can greatly increase the proficiency of her Lightning God Physique.

As the barrier around the Three Sword Peak appeared, Yue Xuexia pretended to fly using her fan as her flying artifact. She also summoned her sentient Snow Lotus so it could undergo tribulation with her, giving her a reason to protect it as they underwent the same heavenly calamity. As expected, the moment the Sentient Snow Lotus appeared, its tribulation to reach Yuanying had also arrived.

The sudden appearance of the snow lotus hovering around Yue Xuexia was seen by everyone beyond the barrier. They didn’t expect that this young lady possessed a sentient Snow Lotus that was about to break through the Yuanying Realm.

Yue Xuexia lightly touched the petals of the Snow Lotus and said, "Once you are able to turn human, I will give you an official name."

The sentient snow lotus wiggles as if delighted by the news of it gaining a name as long as it gains its human form. It would be able to gain a humanoid form as long as it reached the Yuanying realm. Now that it was about to break through, as long as it survived, it would gain a human form, and its mistress would officially give it a name. When that happened, it would be the first one among the mistress’s spiritual beasts and plants to gain an official name. It was called Xuehua before, which literally means snow lotus. What I wanted was a name for itself.

RUMBLES~ CRIZ~

Seeing the tribulation lightning about to fall on them, Yue Xuexia gestures for the snow lotus to hide near her. With her lightning god’s physique, she wouldn’t be in danger under this level of heavenly calamity.

—

Meanwhile, outside the barrier, everyone was watching, whether they were from the Heavenly Sword Sect or not; they could only watch.

They knew that this heavenly tribulation was brought on by the divination Yue Xuexia had done before. This is her choice, and it just happened that this is the punishment for doing things against heaven. Normally, the diviners will only make divination within the Starfield Sect. The reason for this is simple. There is an artifact in that place that allowed the cultivators of that sect to be hidden from the eyes of the heavens, allowing them to be able to do their divination without getting punished.

The cultivator had gathered to watch the scene.

"She looks so young. According to her aura alone, she is not even in her fifties, but I cannot see through her realm. Does she have a treasure that hides her aura?"

"She even has a sentient snow lotus with her. Is she a pill refiner or a doctor?"

"Damn! That snow lotus is about to break through to Yuanying. How can a mere plant be more powerful than most of us?!"

"I wonder what her realm is."

"Look! The first lightning is about to strike her!"

Under everyone’s gaze, the first lightning had fallen on Yue Xuexia. What happened next rendered them speechless. She remained seated on her black fan, calmly absorbing the lightning that fell on her. What is more surprising is that not only did it not burn her, but it wasn’t even able to leave a scratch on her. They were all dumbfounded.

"She is unharmed! How is that possible?"

More lightning fell from the sky to target Yue Xuexia. But a surge of white lightning comes out of her body, capturing and absorbing the heavenly lightning into her body, increasing the potency of her own lightning inside the body. The heavenly punishment fell on her head like rain, but none of it had hardened her or the Sentient Snow Lotus under her protection. Only a bit of lightning fell on it and burned a few of its petals while tempering its vessel.

"Is she still a human?"

"Look at her! Is that lightning around her?"

"Does she possess some kind of special physique?"

"Look! The sky is about to be cleared!"

"This is simply amazing!"

The golden pillar of light is the blessing of the heavens to those who have successfully gone through the cultivation. Thanks to Yue Xuexia’s protection, the Sentient Snow Lotus broke through to the Early Yuanying realm and received the blessing. Covered in golden light, the Sentient Snow Lotus had enlarged, growing to the size of a small human baby. As it is a cocoon, the human form of this Sentient Snow Lotus is being created under the blessing of the gold light. As the light faded, this snow lotus fell into Yue Xuexia’s arms, closed tightly as if it would take its time to be born.

Yue Xuexia slowly descended from the sky until she felt a familiar qi spread throughout the whole Cultivation Realm. This divine consciousness was so powerful that it even made Yue Xuexia tremble. Feeling that this divine consciousness had no intention of harming someone, she descended from the sky. However, the other half of her soul, Xuehua, woke up because of this qi and spoke to her in their mind.

{Xia, that is grandfather. The ancestor of the Yue Clan in the Immortal World. I do not know how he suddenly appeared in this realm. But it seems only his soul had descended into this world. Xia, lend me your body for a bit.}

Yue Xuexia responds, ’Alright.’

After giving the authority to Yue Xuehua, the demeanor of Yue Xuehua had completely changed. From being down-to-earth to being with a noble aura. Everyone was stunned by this sudden change in Yue Xuexia, and what they didn’t know was that the soul inside the body had been switched to someone else. Taking out a space ring, she filled it with resources from Yue Xuexia’s inventory. Adding artifacts, pills of all kinds, sets of formations, talismans, and all kinds of things to fill up the storage.

All of a sudden, a menacing power of the moon had descended in this realm. The area where the night was about to end but was abruptly extended, and Yue Xuehua used Yue Xuexia’s ability to control space, creating a small space crack to the coordinates where her grandfather is, and threw the space ring into it. The space crack only lasted for a few minutes, but it safely landed on its chosen recipient.

Yue Xuexia noticed that Xuehua was about to return the control of her body to her and asked, ’Do you not need to talk to your grandfather more?’

{No need. He is also indeed to return early to his original realm. I’ve only activated the Moon Domain, securing a stable path to return home. This is to prevent his soul from being injured upon its return. He had successfully returned to his body.}

’I see. That is also fine,’ said Yue Xuexia as the control of her body had returned to her.

She descended back to the ground and hid her black fan. With a wave of her hand, the defensive formation around her pavilion had been once again activated as she entered her current house carrying a huge white snow lotus bud in her embrace.

Everyone else who was watching knew that she had successfully defended herself from the heavenly calamity, and it was even done with ease. Now that she had once again retreated to her abode, everyone else could only leave as well, as things had reached the end.

Sect Master Wan Yuyan, Peak Master Guan, and the other elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect had gathered around the Supreme Elder that suddenly arrived.

"Supreme Elder Yi, what should we do now?" Sect Master Wan asked.

The Supreme Elder said, "Do not bother her for now and focus on the answers she has divined for her. The heavens wouldn’t have punished her if the future she had shown us was fake. Send people to find the hidden master. We need to find him or her and beg them to help us."

"Yes, Supreme Elder Yi!"
