292: The exploration vehicle discovered the Moon Palace on the Moon? !

Hearing Lan Kun’s words, the last sliver of hope in the Grand Elder’s heart was completely shattered; he shook his head helplessly, abandoning the idea of personally visiting the Dragon King.

After all, he was just an ordinary Mortal, completely incapable of diving to such depths in the sea.

Originally, he had hoped that Lan Kun and the others would succeed, but seeing them also shake their heads, a sense of loss welled up in his heart.

The Grand Elder sighed softly, his voice tinged with regret: “Since that is the case, let’s put this matter aside for now!”

The Grand Elder looked at Lan Kun and the others, who appeared exhausted, and waved his hand, indicating, “You’ve had a long and tiring journey. Go and get some good rest first!”

Lan Kun, Jin Meiting, and the others exchanged glances and responded in unison: “Yes.”

Then they silently exited the room.

After Xin Mulan left the Grand Elder’s office, she curiously looked back at the closed door and asked in confusion: “Why did the Grand Elder suddenly want to go to the Dragon Palace? The East Sea’s Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals are both annoying and unreasonable!”

Jin Meiting shook her head helplessly and replied: “I don’t know what the Grand Elder is thinking either; perhaps he has his own considerations. But there’s no point in talking about it now. We should hurry and wash up and rest. The coming days will be increasingly intense, and we need to seize the time to improve our cultivation.”

With that, the two walked together towards their respective rooms.

Along the way, they remained silent, each pondering how they should proceed in the future.

Meanwhile, in the Grand Elder’s office, the Grand Elder sat alone in his chair, his gaze fixed on the distance, seemingly contemplating something important…

…

After Li Mu emerged from the East Sea Dragon Palace, he stood outside the Dragon Palace, his gaze sweeping over this magical underwater palace.

Gigantic crystal walls, shimmering jewels, and exotic marine creatures formed a breathtaking spectacle.

Immediately after, Li Mu’s figure appeared on the Moon.

He lightly stepped onto the far side of the Moon, this silent place far from Earth’s clamor, filled with mystery.

Here, Li Mu opened the System interface and began searching for information about the Moon Palace and moon hanging tree, among other items.

Fortunately, after a period of accumulation, the System’s deception points had reached an astonishing number.

This allowed Li Mu to have enough deception points to realize his plan on the Moon.

Otherwise, without these vast deception points, constructing a magnificent palace on the Moon would likely have been delayed for some time.

Li Mu first selected a flat area as the construction base.

Then, Li Mu clicked to purchase the Moon Palace in the System and threw it onto the selected location.

In the blink of an eye, a magnificent Moon Palace rose from the ground.

The palace’s architectural style was unique, its crystalline material shimmering with mysterious light under the moonlight.

Next, Li Mu threw the moon hanging tree around the palace.

These moon hanging tree were neatly arranged, their slender leaves gently swaying in the breeze, a faint fragrance permeating the air, bringing a touch of warmth and vitality to the otherwise cold Moon.

With the completion of the Moon Palace and the moon hanging tree, the entire scene became even more beautiful and captivating.

Li Mu stood before the palace, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He secretly thought, “Now, all that’s left are Chang'e, the Jade Rabbit, and the troublesome tree-cutter Wu Gang.”

Seeing that the Moon Palace and the moon hanging tree were all arranged, Li Mu immediately tore open a spatial rift and departed.

This was a serene and mysterious world, accompanied only by endless desolation and the distant starry sky.

One day, an exploration vehicle slowly drove by, its metallic shell gleaming with a cold, hard light under the sun.

The exploration vehicle’s gaze traversed the endless desolation, as if searching for something.

Its cameras vigilantly scanned the surrounding environment, not missing a single detail.

Dust permeated the desolation, and fine sand crunched under the wheels.

The exploration vehicle’s path left deep tracks in the sand, and outside the window, the wind howled, stirring up sand waves.

As the exploration vehicle advanced, the Moon Palace and the moon hanging tree appeared in its view.

Upon learning of the discovery on the Moon, the researchers were greatly shocked, then excitedly and nervously operated the exploration vehicle.

Until they successfully captured their images with the exploration vehicle’s camera, the photos were transmitted back to the base.

The researchers excitedly gripped their companions, their hands trembling slightly from the excessive force, their voices distorted with excitement: “Haha~ This is an amazing discovery! A palace and osmanthus trees have appeared on the Moon, do you know what this means?”

The gripped companion also could not hide his excitement; he bared two rows of white teeth, a brilliant smile on his face, and replied: “Yes! Ever since that strange anomaly occurred on the Moon last time, we have been closely monitoring it. During this time, everyone has not dared to relax for a moment, always maintaining a high level of vigilance.”

At this point, tears of joy even flowed from his eyes, his voice slightly choked, and he continued: “Now there’s finally further development, let’s quickly transmit this photo back to Earth…”

…

This photo instantly caused a sensation, with people speculating about their origin and significance.

Scientists were filled with curiosity about this discovery; they eagerly studied these peculiar existences, attempting to unveil the mysterious veil of the far side of the Moon.

The media also competed to report, and the world’s attention focused on this distant planet.

All major video websites began to frantically repost and discuss this topic, and the Moon’s popularity grew higher and higher.

“A palace has actually appeared on the Moon, and there are even osmanthus trees. This can’t help but remind me of Chang'e!”

“When you mention Chang'e, it makes me think of that foolish Wu Gang who only knows how to cut down other people’s trees all day long.”

“Hahaha, wanting to pursue someone but going to cut down their tree, I really don’t understand this kind of perplexing operation!”

“Exactly, exactly, this is the legendary ‘want to fall in love, the kind that cuts down your family’s tree’…”

“Since a palace has already appeared on the Moon, does that mean that Chang'e Fairy truly exists…”

“Aren’t any of you curious about how these photos were leaked in the first place?”

“The world is too dangerous nowadays. The first thing I think about every morning when I wake up is whether I can safely get through today, otherwise, I might be eaten by a Yao Beast as a snack.”

“I’m not worried at all; anyway, I’ve already bought high-value insurance, so there’s nothing to fear.”

“Friend upstairs, I want to ask, whose name is filled out on the insurance you bought? After all, anything can happen! What if something unexpected happens in the future, who can guarantee that the insurance company will still exist?”

“Oh my, hearing you say that, my heart suddenly twitched, as if it was being tightly clutched, feeling incredibly uncomfortable. You know, just now I thought the money I spent was perfectly reasonable, but now I suddenly feel a pang of heartache…”

“Haha~ Brother, don’t feel bad. Eat and drink what you want. In this day and age, you really can’t be sure how long you’ll live. In the end, it’s about the government and luck…”
