313: Chapter 313 Moon Mountain, Moon Pool, Moon Spirit Path
This time, Wang An and Lu Tianxin traveled for nearly a month, flying from those suspended earth-mound mountain ranges, and arrived before a Moon Mountain.
The reason it is called Moon Mountain is that it is truly a Moon Mountain—a massive fragment of the shattered Bright Moon that fell to the ground, creating an impact zone spanning 3 light-years.
The impact plain formed around the Moon Mountain, known as the Moon Pool, is incredibly vast; looking up, most of the top of the Moon Mountain is already piercing through thick cloud layers, its summit invisible.
As the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm is a planar world, the high altitudes are filled with layers of gale winds, lightning, and spatial storms, making it impossible to explore too high using ordinary means.
With a slight perception, the two discovered that a large number of mortal lives and nations existed around this Moon Mountain.
Naturally, there was also no shortage of corresponding transcendent beings.
The two entered the most prosperous nation of the Human Race; the name of this nation is Ming, it takes the Bright Moon as its state title, and regards Moon Mountain as an object of worship.
The strongest person in this nation is a Sequence 4 "Moon Priest" named Green.
According to Wang An and his companion's understanding, all civilizations in this Moon Pool region cultivate an extraordinary system called the Moon Pathway.
And this Green is a transcendent being of the Moon Spirit Pathway, Sequence 4 "Moon Priest."
The capital of the Ming Theocracy, the Grand Cathedral of the Ming God.
Priest Green, appearing as a middle-aged man and dressed in white with Bright Moon patterns, stood at the very front of the cathedral, leading the high-ranking officials of the Ming Theocracy to worship a withered tree branch placed at the highest point.
"Oh, Ming God! Please bestow upon your believers and your people the power of the Bright Moon."
Behind Priest Green, the high-ranking officials of the theocracy gazed fanatically at the withered branch, which was faintly emitting the spiritual light of the Bright Moon, as countless Power Of Faith converged from their hearts and flowed toward the withered wood.
A faint mark of moonlight flew out from the withered wood, descending toward a holy young girl located in the very last row, striking the center of her forehead.
The moment it landed, inside a palace hidden in the Void Realm somewhere on Moon Mountain, a broken jade plate, with only a small piece of a crescent moon remaining, resonated with the withered branch, blooming with spiritual light.
It descended directly into the Grand Cathedral of the Ming God, enveloping the chosen girl.
At this moment, a crescent moon mark manifested on the girl's brow, adding a ray of divine light to her already holy temperament.
Infused with spiritual power, her sequence rank was immediately elevated, stepping directly into the Moon Spirit Sequence 3 "Moon Apostle."
At the same time, a vast amount of knowledge regarding this pathway entered the girl's mind, and the information she could not bear was stored within the Moon Spirit mark.
The Moon Apostle girl, amidst the envious and jealous gazes of Priest Green and the various high-ranking officials below the sequence, made a gesture of invitation toward the Void Realm, her crisp and pleasant voice echoing in the pin-drop silent Grand Cathedral.
"Two guests have arrived; please reveal yourselves and allow me, this Moon Apostle, to host you."
At this, Wang An and Lu Tianxin looked on with some surprise at this Moon Apostle girl who had discerned their hidden positions.
However, Wang An did not suspect any traps here; the strongest person in the entire region was right before their eyes, and their strength was still far inferior to theirs.
Subsequently, the two appeared in the Grand Cathedral of the Ming God; the high-ranking officials of the Ming Theocracy looked at the two humans in strange clothing who had suddenly appeared, their faces showing expressions of disbelief for a moment.
"This is impossible. This place is under the gaze of the Ming God and is a sacred dwelling; how could anyone approach without us knowing?"
A Sequence 5 "Moon Cultivator" transcendent used the sequence ability "Spiritual Eye" to observe the true spiritual forms of Wang An and Lu Tianxin.
A celestial river covering vast planetary systems and connecting countless living beings rushed into the mind of this Sequence 5 Moon Spirit Cultivator, carrying a boundless torrent of information.
Unable to process this information, the Moon Cultivator's faith, memories, and emotions were instantly impacted; the stability of his Moon Spirit core was affected, and knowledge of the Dao from other extraordinary systems was infused into him.
Countless emotions, beliefs, and memories surged; the Sequence 5 Moon Cultivator's eyes turned blood-red, his thoughts were corrupted, and he fell into a demonic state.
The man immediately shouted, accusing everything around him: "These are heretics! Priest Green, Apostle Sophia, burn them! We must burn these heretics! The sacred dwelling of the Ming God must not be defiled!"
The scarlet moonlight rippling around the Moon Cultivator made the transcendent sequence beings around him change their expressions.
"This guy has fallen into corruption; quickly restrain him! We must purify his blasphemous act for the Ming God!"
However, before anyone else could act, the Bright Moon ring in the hand of the Moon Apostle girl, Sophia, flew out, scattering spiritual blades to erase the already corrupted and fallen Moon Cultivator.
After his spirituality was annihilated, he fell to the ground, gradually precipitating a portion of sequence material, but this material was still tainted with the aura of corruption, and no one dared to touch it.
At this time, the Moon Apostle girl, Sophia, who had taken action, bowed slightly toward Wang An and Lu Tianxin.
"Apologies, two guests. Our Moon Cultivator rashly used his Spiritual Eye to observe your high-level spirituality. This was all his own doing, and I hope you will not hold his offense against him."
Wang An looked at the corpse; although he was somewhat interested in this peculiar sequence pathway, he was not one to hold a grudge against a dead person.
"Let's go; let's find a quiet place to talk in detail."
In a side hall of the Grand Cathedral of the Ming God, the three sat down, and attendants brought up some special spiritual fruits and spirit wine from the Moon Pool.
Wang An conversed with the Moon Apostle girl to understand the intentions of both sides, while Lu Tianxin, holding these specialty fruits and tasting them in small bites, listened attentively.
"Where do you two guests come from? And where are you going?"
Wang An was silent for a moment at this somewhat familiar yet strange question.
"We are people from the 'Starry Sky Shallow Space' outside the realm. We have entered the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm to travel, cultivate, and seek suitable Opportunity."
"Now that we have just arrived in the Moon Pool region, we are quite interested in your unique sequence pathway."
The Moon Apostle girl, Sophia, was blank-faced regarding the 'Starry Sky Shallow Space' and Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm mentioned by this powerful human, and she only understood a little when she heard 'Moon Pool.'
"So the guests are from the Human Race outside the Moon Pool. I have heard that outside the Moon Pool, three disasters and six calamities are everywhere, and basically no mortal life survives. I just don't know what the scene is like nowadays."
Hearing that the Moon Apostle Sophia did not care about him being a person from outside the realm or what the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm was, Wang An knew that these intelligent beings living within the Moon Pool had completely lost the history of the entire Heavenly Realm.
Since the other party was not curious about his origin, he had no intention of causing extra trouble, and subsequently recounted the various natural disasters and exotic beasts they had encountered along the way.
The Apostle girl, understanding the current situation in the outside world, said somewhat proudly: "It turns out our ancestors of the Ming Theocracy were right to choose this place for survival. The outside world is so dangerous; if we had not strictly guarded the Moon Pool and served the Ming God, I fear our civilization would have long been broken, and our race would have been exterminated."
