149: Goodbye Moon Goddess!

Ever since the Demon Race descended, Long Aotian had been stationed within the barrier he had set up to prevent the Martial Gods from losing control of the situation!

Long Aotian returned to the Dragon Emperor Palace and checked the mark in Chu Ming's Sea of Consciousness, but he shook his head and said, "I don't know. I have never seen it before!"

"However, the aura emitted by this mark is indeed related to the Netherworld Hell!"

Long Aotian pondered, but after thinking for a long time, he could not think of any major power in the Netherworld Hell that possessed such a mark.

"Do you have this kind of mark in your Sea of Consciousness?" Long Yuan suddenly asked.

"No, absolutely not!"

"I have never experienced such a situation when I Cultivate!" Long Aotian shook his head decisively.

But seeing the slightly suspicious look in Long Yuan's eyes, he said, "If you don't believe me, then enter my Sea of Consciousness and take a look!"

As it turned out, Long Yuan's Divine Sense really did enter!

"Damn, he really didn't hold back at all!" He quickly flew in after him.

Inside Long Aotian's Sea of Consciousness, everything was golden and resplendent, like a world crafted from gold!

"How is it? I told you I didn't have it, right?"

Arriving at the deepest part of his Sea of Consciousness, Long Aotian stood beside Long Yuan and said calmly. He was, after all, in the Half-Step Sky Opening Realm; if such a thing existed, how could he not know?

However, Long Yuan smiled and said, "Are you sure you don't?"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing the other party ask this, Long Aotian's heart skipped a beat. He cast his gaze around, but still could not discover anything.

At this moment, Long Yuan placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "Look again!"

Sure enough, in the next instant, Long Aotian saw the same mark in the deepest part of his own Sea of Consciousness as the one in Chu Ming's.

"This... how is this possible?"

He widened his eyes and exclaimed. How could such a thing be in his Sea of Consciousness? And how had he failed to notice it all this time?

"I must be seeing things!"

Long Aotian shook his head. He closed his eyes and opened them again. Sigh! It was indeed gone!

But when Long Yuan placed his hand on his shoulder again, that mark reappeared!

"You... what did you do to me?" Long Aotian looked at Long Yuan in horror.

"Your strength is too weak, so I lent you some power to let you see that mark clearly!" Long Yuan said calmly. This was not some illusion technique he had cast; rather, the mark itself was hidden very deeply, and Long Aotian simply hadn't been able to discover it!

At this, Long Aotian was completely stunned. He also had this kind of mark in his Sea of Consciousness?

"How could this be? I have never experienced any abnormalities!"

Thinking back on the millions of years he had spent Cultivating in the Netherworld Hell, he had not experienced any discomfort, and he did not even know when this mark had been left in his Sea of Consciousness!

Long Yuan frowned in thought. He could understand Long Aotian being marked; after all, the other party had spent long years Cultivating in the Netherworld Hell, and perhaps someone had used some means on him without his knowledge!

But what about Chu Ming? When was he branded by someone?

"What kind of thing left this brand?" Long Yuan looked at the brand before him. Logically, he should be able to erase even the brand of an Opening Heaven Realm powerhouse, so why couldn't he erase this?

"Could it be that the existence who left the brand has strength that surpasses the Opening Heaven Realm?" Long Yuan muttered to himself.

"Impossible. If there were any in the Creation Realm in the Netherworld Hell, they wouldn't have stayed in that cold world for so many years!" Long Aotian shook his head.

"Then where did this thing come from?"

As of now, they didn't even know what had left this brand, nor did they know if it posed any danger.

"It seems the existence who left the brand must be a Supreme Powerhouse of the Netherworld Hell. The key is, what means did they use to leave this brand?"

Furthermore, were there others in the Chu Family who had this brand? Would it have any adverse effects on the Chu Family in the future?

"Let's go, come with me to a place!" Long Yuan said to Long Aotian.

"Where?"

"You'll know when we get there!"

Long Yuan took Chu Ming and flew out of the Dragon Emperor Palace, diving into the Qingyang Lake below.

That's right, Long Yuan had returned to the space world beneath Qingyang Lake. Because he felt that the existence known as the "Moon God" had been around for a very long time, perhaps with her insight, she could identify the origin of the brand!

The Moon God's dark hair fell down, and a white robe draped over her body. The silver moon mark on her forehead shimmered with lunar radiance. She was still sitting cross-legged on that blood coffin as always, suppressing the eerie creature within!

Sensing someone approaching, the Moon God opened her closed eyes. The moment she saw Long Yuan, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face: "Early Stage Opening Heaven Realm?"

The Moon God's expression was shocked. She remembered that when the other party appeared last time, he was only at the Perfection of the Immortal Realm. How had he already reached the Opening Heaven Realm now?

Moreover, the other party's Bloodline had actually changed again. Initially, he was just an Icefire Mystic Heaven Dragon, but now he had become a Dragon Clan she did not recognize!

"Which powerhouse from the ancient era are you?" The Moon God asked, looking at Long Yuan. In her view, Long Yuan must be some ancient powerhouse who was currently recovering his cultivation.

Furthermore, that Dragon Clan member beside him was actually in the Half-Step Sky Opening Realm as well? But why did he have the aura of the Netherworld Hell on him? It seemed that some change had occurred in the Human Realm again!

"I am a person of this era!"

"I am not some powerhouse from an ancient era!" Long Yuan shook his head.

"Then what is the purpose of your visit today?"

"Are you wanting to take advantage of your increased strength to slay the creature inside the coffin?"

"If that is the case..."

The Moon God stood up. The moon mark on her forehead bloomed with bright light, and waves of powerful energy emanated from her body. This was clearly a powerhouse of the Immortal Realm!

However, Long Yuan felt that this was likely not the other party's state at her Peak; it was probably due to long-term suppression of the creature within the coffin!

"Your Excellency, do not misunderstand. I only came to see if I could help you out and purify the evil Qi on the creature within the coffin!" One had to have the right attitude when asking for help!

The Moon God frowned as she looked at Long Yuan and refused: "No need! This deity will find a way herself!"

"Does Your Excellency not think that purifying the evil Qi one day earlier increases the possibility of the creature within the coffin awakening? Are you not afraid that delaying it by a day will cause irreparable damage to the creature within the coffin?"

"Or would you rather watch the other party endure that kind of pain?"

"Enough, speak. What do you want me to do?" The Moon God said bluntly. She did not fear a life-and-death battle, but the creature within the coffin was her weakness!

"It's very simple. I would like to ask Your Excellency to help me identify a mark!" As Long Yuan said this, he pointed his finger into the Void Realm, and the mark from the Sea of Consciousness of Chu Ming and Long Aotian appeared in the air.

"Hmm? This is the Six Paths of Reincarnation?" The moment she saw the mark, the Moon God exclaimed in surprise.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

"What is that thing?" Long Yuan was surprised. The other party was indeed knowledgeable and recognized this object!

"You are a powerhouse of the Opening Heaven Realm, and you don't even recognize this object?"

"This is the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It is a Supreme Divine Artifact conceived by the Thirty-three Heavens when the world first opened. Later, when the Thirty-three Heavens collapsed, a powerhouse used the fragments of the heavens to create the Netherworld Hell!"

"However, as far as I know, this object has always been controlled by Six Paths Niangniang of the Netherworld Hell. If one wishes to use this object to leave a Six Paths of Reincarnation brand, she must personally take action!"
