Chapter 12747 The Moon's Light
"The Buried Moon Abyss..."
Upon hearing Qinghui's description, Ye Chen, with the clue of "Buried Moon Abyss," deduced on his own and vaguely grasped the location of the Buried Moon Abyss, which was more than a hundred miles away from the tribe.
"Senior, what do you want to do? Do you want to go to the Moon Burial Abyss?"
"That place is very dangerous, and it's the territory of the Moonlight City in the sky!"
Qinghui sensed Ye Chen's plan and her heart tightened immediately.
"What?" Ye Chen asked.
Qinghui swallowed hard and said, "Senior, you may not know this, but back then, the Great Moon Goddess bestowed light and drove away demons. Her radiance left behind many miracles."
"For example, near the Abyss of the Buried Moon, a Chaos Moon Tree grew, and there was an ancient Moon Well in it. Drinking a mouthful of the Moon Well water has endless wonders."
“The Moonflower Sect, the Heavenly Moon Pavilion, and the Moon God Palace occupy that territory, and we outsiders cannot get close to it.”
"The Chaos Moon Tree..." Ye Chen clearly remembered that Ren Feifan had said that there was a lot of primordial chaos energy remaining in the Chaos Moon Tree.
"Can your Chaos Moon Tree produce Chaos Primordial Qi?" Ye Chen asked.
Upon hearing this, Qinghui asked in surprise, "Yes, how did you know, senior?"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I want to go to the Chaos Moon Tree, is there any way?"
The Chaos Moon Tree contains the primordial energy of chaos, and the remains of the Illusion Moon Goddess are also nearby.
If Ye Chen could go there, he would have the opportunity to obtain both the Chaos Mother Qi and the remains of the Illusion Moon Goddess, which would undoubtedly be killing two birds with one stone.
Although the descendants of the Great Moon Goddess regard the Illusionary Moon Goddess as a false god, a usurper, and a thief, Ye Chen sees her as one of the Three Moon Goddesses, a powerful being in the Reincarnation Graveyard, and he would naturally save her if given the chance.
Qinghui was taken aback and said, "Senior wants to go to the Chaos Moon Tree? That's a bit difficult!"
"Those moonlit cities in the sky are inhabited by extremely domineering people who will not allow outsiders to approach the Chaos Moon Tree, which is a divine relic left behind by the Great Moon God!"
"The people of the Moonflower Sect, the Heavenly Moon Pavilion, and the Moon God Palace are ruthless and have driven all of us rogue cultivators with no background and weak strength to this Silver Frost Wasteland."
"This wasteland is cold and barren, teeming with demons and lacking in resources. We can only struggle to survive here. Every day, people die in the mouths of demons or kill each other for limited resources. It is a survival of the fittest, a dog-eat-dog world."
"Given the ruthless nature of those three families, they will absolutely not allow anyone to lay a finger on the resources around the Chaos Moon Tree."
Ye Chen listened silently, his heart slightly moved.
He looked up at the sky outside, where the moonlit cities floating above the sea of clouds were still beautiful and radiant with moonlight.
If he disregarded the cost, Ye Chen was 70-80% confident he could slaughter those cities.
However, unleashing the full power could expose the secrets of heaven and earth, and also trigger the abyss within one's body.
Ye Chen didn't want to be too reckless, so he asked Qinghui, "Is there really no other way?"
Qinghui said, "It's difficult unless we force our way in."
"The area around the Chaos Moon Tree is now occupied by the Heavenly Moonlight City. They are cooperating with the Void Market to mine the region's mines, herbs, and other rare and precious materials. They are also exploring the ruins of the Bright Moon Palace left behind by the Great Moon God..."
"Ordinary people who want to get close either need to have an entry ticket to the Void Market or be led by someone with a special status in Moonlight City."
"Neither of us has any, so we can only force our way in, uh... that's practically suicide..."
In the end, Qinghui also had no choice but to give up.
Nowadays, the Chaos Moon Tree area is not only occupied by the Moonlight City in the sky, but also patrolled by powerful figures from the Void Market.
Ordinary people have absolutely no chance of getting in.
Ye Chen remained silent, naturally not wanting to force his way in.
"Senior, let's calm down and think of another idea."
Qinghui was truly afraid that Ye Chen would force his way into the Chaos Moon Tree and bring annihilation upon the tribe.
No matter how strong Ye Chen is, he can never defeat the Moonlight City in the sky and the powerful figures in the Void City.
"Ah."
Ye Chen didn't say much. He stayed at Qinghui's house that night and quietly meditated and regulated his breathing in his room.
As night deepened, the hustle and bustle of the tribe completely subsided, leaving only the sporadic roars of demons echoing across the walls of the Silver Moon Wasteland.
Ye Chen's mind gradually sank into a dream, and he arrived in the world of Mansu once again.
Xia Ruoxue had actually become the Great Moon Goddess, which piqued his curiosity, and he wanted to explore further.
Without any hindrance, Ye Chen stepped into Mansu once again.
In the dream, there was a world of bright, boundless moonlight, and the air was filled with a refreshing and delicate fragrance similar to that of Xia Ruoxue, which was soothing and pleasant.
Ahead, the graceful figure in the long dress still stood there, her figure as slender as ever, surrounded by the flowing moonlight. She was more lively than when they last met, no longer completely stiff like a sculpture.
Ye Chen approached the Great Moon Goddess. Her eyes were still closed, but her fingers were trembling slightly, and the front of her dress rose and fell gently with her soft breathing.
"Huh? He's alive?"
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen was greatly surprised.
The last time he saw the Great Moon Goddess, she was as still as a statue, but now she was breathing and trembling.
It's as if a god who has been asleep for countless years is slowly awakening.
"Yes, I'm alive."
A faint smile suddenly appeared on the lips of the Great Moon Goddess, and she uttered a clear and melodious voice, her eyes still closed.
Her voice was exactly the same as Xia Ruoxue's!
Ye Chen was startled when she suddenly spoke, took a step back, and stammered, "You...you..."
The Great Moon Goddess smiled faintly, her fingertips slightly raised as if sensing the moonlight around her, and whispered:
“Long ago, I exhausted my last wisp of divine essence, transforming into the moonlight that filled the sky to protect my people. In the end, I was engulfed by the chaotic energy and should have been completely annihilated by time, never to be revived.”
"But today, I have been saved."
Her voice softened as she took a step closer to Ye Chen.
Although she didn't open her eyes, it seemed as if a gentle gaze was falling on Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was completely stunned, never expecting that the Great Moon Goddess would come back to life!
At this moment, the Great Moon Goddess looks exactly like Xia Ruoxue, both in voice and appearance.
But Ye Chen knew that she was not Xia Ruoxue.
The Great Moon Goddess said gently, "Someone has given me a new appearance, new life, and even a new name."
"It was you, Lord of Reincarnation, who saved me and pulled me out of the chaos of annihilation."
"Well, now I'm not called Mingyue Suxin, my name is... Xia Ruoxue."
She softly murmured her new name.
"You are not her!"
Ye Chen interrupted instinctively.
"Um, I'm sorry..."
Seeing Ye Chen's strong reaction, the Great Moon Goddess felt somewhat apologetic and said softly:
“I know that the Great Moon Goddess you want to see is Xia Ruoxue herself, not me…”
"I apologize for my abruptness. I thought we were... friends."
She wanted to get closer to Ye Chen, but she was afraid of upsetting him, so she could only maintain a restrained distance.
Ye Chen's mind was in turmoil. As someone who held the power of the Heavenly Heart God, he could read minds.
In this world of endless dwellings, he is the absolute ruler; even the Great Moon God is transparent to him.
He could read the thoughts of the Great Moon Goddess, her panic and pain as she was swallowed by chaos, and her joy at rebirth.
In the heart of the Great Moon Goddess, Ye Chen was completely regarded as her savior.
Moreover, Ye Chen entrusted Xia Ruoxue's name to her, which caused her to be affected by Xia Ruoxue's karma to some extent.
Ye Chen and Xia Ruoxue were intimate lovers. The karmic threads of their love poured into the Great Moon Goddess, and with the added karma of redemption, the Great Moon Goddess felt an immense attachment to Ye Chen.
The progenitor of the lunar pathway, upon resurrection, unexpectedly fell head over heels in love with Ye Chen, something Ye Chen hadn't anticipated.
He seemed to have stumbled upon a terrible thing. He was just fantasizing in the world of Mansu, wanting to make amends to Xia Ruoxue. Little did he expect that the dream would distort reality, and Xia Ruoxue's name would actually be given to the Great Moon Goddess, who would then be resurrected.
The resurrection of an ancient ancestor—who knows how much turmoil it would cause? Ye Chen dared not even imagine.
Behind the Great Moon Goddess lies an endless and terrifying chaotic calamity. She had long been targeted by chaos and was once engulfed by it.
Now that she has been revived, Chaos will not let her go.
If Ye Chen were to develop any karmic entanglement with her, he would inevitably suffer immense chaotic pressure.
"Don't you want to be entangled with me in karma? Then you can kill me."
The Great Moon Goddess was somewhat saddened. She had been saved by Ye Chen, recovered from chaos, and received a new name and body. She also had a deep and unforgettable love for Ye Chen.
But she is, after all, the progenitor of the Moon Path. She has her own path and her own pride. If Ye Chen refuses to accept her, she would rather return to death.
"no……"
Looking at the Great Moon Goddess, how could Ye Chen bear to kill her?
The Great Moon Goddess looked exactly like Xia Ruoxue; when he looked at her, it was as if he were looking at Xia Ruoxue.
"Let me think about it..."
Ye Chen rested his chin on his hand, considering how to handle the situation at hand.
If he accepts the Great Moon God, he will inevitably have to bear immense chaotic pressure.
The Great Moon Goddess said, "You don't need to worry too much, Lord of Reincarnation."
"I am in your world of wandering, and I don't go outside, so the karmic impact won't be too great."
"Well... actually, even if I wanted to go outside, I couldn't."
"While dreams can distort reality, the cause and effect are too great to be reversed so easily."
Ye Chen thought so too. If the Great Moon Goddess only stayed in Mansu and didn't go to the outside world, the causal consequences she triggered wouldn't be too heaven-defying.
Even if it attracts some chaotic evil spirits, it probably won't be too serious.
But no matter what, the karma of being entangled with the Great Moon Goddess is by no means a trivial matter.
"So, what do you want?"
Ye Chen looked at the Great Moon Goddess, wanting to hear her thoughts.
The Great Moon Goddess said, "Then I can stay and help you. Although I haven't opened my eyes, I can still sense everything in the outside world."
“I know you’re going to the Chaos Moon Tree to obtain the Chaos Mother Energy and to retrieve the remains of the Illusion Moon Goddess. But if you force your way in, it will be very dangerous.”
“With me here, you don’t need to force your way in. You can go to the Moon City in the sky and go to the Moon God’s Palace to find the ‘Moon Guardians.’ They are my descendants, born from my blood.”
"The Moonlight Guardian?" Ye Chen's heart stirred.
"Yes, they wield the ancient lunar runes and guard my relics and heritage."
The Great Moon Goddess slowly said, "Although I can sense that they have declined, they still possess extremely high authority. If you can get their help, going to the Moon Tree Land will not be difficult."
A glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. The place where the Chaos Moon Tree was located contained the Chaos Mother Qi, and the Buried Moon Abyss near the Moon Tree also contained the remains of the Illusion Moon Goddess.
If the Great Moon Goddess has a way to get him to the Land of the Moon Tree, that would be ideal.
However, Ye Chen immediately frowned: "The Moon Guardians... I don't know them at all, why would they help me?"
Ye Chen has only been in the Moonlight District for a short time and has not offended any faction.
Even the moonlit cities in the sky would not harbor any ill will towards him.
But there will be no goodwill.
He wouldn't get any help if he went to heaven.
The Great Moon Goddess smiled gently, stepped forward, and slowly raised her hand to caress Ye Chen's cheek.
“I bless you, you have my light, and they will help you.”
The Great Moon Goddess's fingertips were warm and smooth like jade, carrying the coolness of moonlight. A wisp of soft, silvery-white light emanated from them, flowing gently over Ye Chen like a stream.
Ye Chen felt a pure power flowing across his body and then merging into his body, making the abyssal energy within him more docile.
Immediately afterwards, the Great Moon Goddess slightly tiptoed and gently placed her soft lips on Ye Chen's forehead.
Ye Chen received a kiss from the Great Moon Goddess, and a rich moonlight power enveloped his entire body, as if he had received the blessing of the entire moon.
This was the first time the Great Moon Goddess kissed Ye Chen, but there was no sense of distance between them. Instead, they acted as naturally as lovers deeply in love.
She is the Great Moon Goddess Mingyue Suxin, and also "Xia Ruoxue".
Therefore, Ye Chen naturally accepted her gentleness and her blessings.
Under the blessing of the Great Moon Goddess, a mark faintly lit up in Ye Chen's sea of consciousness.
Those are the marks of moonlight.
He embarked on a new path, the "lunar path"!
How many paths did Ye Chen take?
Gate, Tyrant, Tower of Radiance, Heavenly Demon, Jade Emperor, Wandering Abode, Moon...
Ordinary people can only walk on one path, but Ye Chen traversed all paths with ease, without any sense of obstruction or backlash.
Now that he had embarked on a new path, Ye Chen felt a cool sensation throughout his body, and the abyss within him was serene under the gentle caress of the moonlight.
Ye Chen's cultivation also showed faint signs of a breakthrough!
The Great Moon Goddess laughed and said, "Alright, I have bestowed my blessing upon you. You may call yourself the Holy Son of the Bright Moon who has been wandering abroad. Now you have returned to seek out my legacy and relics."
"The Moon Guardians have protected my will for generations, and seeing that you bear my blessing, they will surely do their utmost to help you."
"The Holy Son of Bright Moon?"
Upon hearing these four words, Ye Chen immediately shook his head. "This identity is too conspicuous and too powerful. It will inevitably cause a huge uproar. Others will never believe it easily. Instead, they will regard me as a thorn in their side. It would be a loss for them."
The Great Moon Goddess's suggestion was far too outrageous, directly bestowing upon Ye Chen the status of a Holy Son.
Even if she dared to offer it, Ye Chen wouldn't dare to accept it.
Ye Chen is currently burdened by the Abyss and is wanted by the Void Market. He only wants to keep a low profile, obtain the Chaos Mother Qi and the remains of the Illusion Moon Goddess, and does not want to cause any more trouble.
With his identity as the Holy Son of the Bright Moon, he has undoubtedly put himself in the spotlight.
The Great Moon Goddess chuckled softly: "It's better to have a higher status. Didn't you want to conceal your identity as the Lord of Reincarnation?"
"Hiding and hiding all the time is not a solution. If you hold the power of the Holy Son of the Bright Moon, then when others see you, they will only think of you as the Holy Son of the Bright Moon, not as the Lord of Reincarnation."
"To hide a star, you don't have to hide it in darkness; you can cover it with the moonlight."
