Chapter 118: The Goddess of the Moon

  "Let's go!"

  The warrior on the back of the Qingxue Demon Bat let out a loud roar and stomped his foot on the demon bat's back.

  The cyan blood bat shot out like an arrow, suddenly flying forward. The Shura Blood Guards behind him also changed their faces and urged the cyan blood bats to fly towards the Shi family's direction without regard for anything.

  Shi Yan's face changed drastically as he exclaimed in shock: "What's going on?"

  "The Cult of the Three Gods and we are from opposing camps. From that divine stone, I sensed a terrifying aura. No matter who awakened within it, they would be an important figure in the Cult of the Three Gods. As soon as he sees the Cyan Blood Bat, he will know that we are people from the Yang family. With Elder Xiao not around, we cannot guarantee that Young Master Yan won't get hurt!"

  The martial artist of the Yang family standing beside Shi Yan had a solemn expression, with an unprecedented sense of vigilance.

  Three Gods Sect, it's Three Gods Sect again!

  Shi Yan furrowed his brow, and in his heart, he had a bit more apprehension towards the endless sea's power.

  Although he really wanted to see what would happen with the divine stone, after listening to this person's words, Shi Yan also realized the danger and could only follow Qing Xue away, but kept looking back at the direction of the Divine Stone Square.

  Suddenly, a shocking and earth-shaking moonlight burst forth from the direction of the Divine Stone Plaza.

  In a loud explosion, a mysterious woman in a pure white martial arts uniform suddenly appeared above the Divine Stone Plaza.

  Though separated by a great distance, Shi Yan still saw that the woman seemed to embody the beauty of the heavenly bodies and the moon's halo. She was elegant and refined, like a goddess of the moon, captivating people's hearts. Her skin was as white as snow, her bones were as clear as ice, and she had gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  That mysterious woman floated in mid-air, seemingly bewildered. She paused for a moment above the Divine Stone Plaza before transforming into a moonlit glow and suddenly flying off towards the east.

  "The Strongest Heavenly Position!"

  The warrior beside Shiyan had a look of horror on his face, revealing an expression of lingering fear, "Fortunately we left quickly, if we were targeted by her, I'm afraid we would have been slaughtered."

  "More ruthless than Xiao Shu?" Shi Yan was shocked.

  "I don't know, but the aura on her body is indeed not inferior to that of Lord Xiao." The warrior paused for a moment and continued: "The three gods of the San Sheng Jiao, Ri Yue Xing, are well-versed in the profound meaning of the San Sheng Jiao's divine arts, with countless secret techniques at their disposal. They also possess sacred-level martial skills, so even if Lord Xiao were to face her on equal terms, I'm afraid he would not be able to gain the upper hand."

  Shi Yan's face changed color.

  "Hoo-hoo-hoo!"

  Behind him was a dark blood bat, quickly approaching, with Xia Xinyan sitting on top.

  Xia Xinyan's eyes sparkled with surprise, and she seemed to be quite astonished. She leaned in and asked tenderly: "Shi Yan, what did you just do?"

  "I didn't do anything." Shi Yan furrowed his brow, "I was heading towards the Divine Stone Square when the Star Martial Soul in my body suddenly condensed into a starlight screen. The screen flew out of my body uncontrollably and landed on the divine stone. After that, the divine stone shone brightly, seemingly cracking open, and that woman... she should have come out from within the divine stone."

  "This piece of divine stone has existed for a thousand years?" Xia Xinyan's eyes widened in astonishment as she asked lightly.

  He nodded and Shi Yan said, "Not bad. As far as I know, this piece of meteorite fell from the sky before Tianyun City existed. The name of Tianyun City also originated from this divine stone, do you know anything about it?"

  "Let's talk about it when we meet Mr. Xiao." Xia Xinyan took a deep breath, as if recalling something frightening.

  She didn't want to explain immediately, and Shi Yan didn't ask further, but he had a huge doubt in his heart.

  The green blood bat flew quickly and soon landed in the courtyard of the Shi family's house.

  Xiao Hanyi and Shi Jian's group of people had not returned yet, after Shi Yan came back, he waited in this huge plaza for Xiao Hanyi's return.

  At dawn, Xiao Hanyi and Shi Jian, Zuo Xu, and others slowly flew back from the direction of Beimingjia.

  This group of people, each with a gloomy face, yet their eyes were quite excited, it seems that killing at the North Ming House should be very enjoyable.

  "Huh?"

  Xiao Hanyi came over and merely glanced at Shi Yan from a distance before suddenly shouting, "Young Master Yan, you...you..."

  Under Xiao Hanyi's gaze, Shi Yan nodded slowly, "Perhaps the medicinal properties of the Undying Elixir have been fully released. Who would have thought that we've made another breakthrough."

  Shi Jian was stunned, looking at Shi Yan in disbelief, and exclaimed with excitement: "Young man, you...you have broken through to the Hundred Calamities Realm?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "How is this possible?" Zuo Yu's face was extremely strange, shaking his head repeatedly, his eyes gleaming with an otherworldly light, staring at Shi Yan left and right, not daring to believe it.

  Hahaha! Hahahahaha!

  Xiao Hanyi looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, "Really didn't think of it, haha, really didn't think of it! Seventeen years old! A hundred calamities! Even in the Yang family, such a talent can't be found! Haha, Young Master Yan, I can now confirm that as long as you return to the Yang family, the master will definitely treat you as a treasure!"

  Shi Jian's smile vanished as soon as he heard Xiao Hanyi's words, and he hung his head, sighing constantly.

  The natural talent of Shi Yan is so astonishing, if he stays in the Shi family, not only can the Shi family do whatever they want in the business alliance, but also surpass the imperial families of the Lihuo Empire and the Shenyu Empire in the future!

  At seventeen, a realm of a hundred tribulations! Even Beiming Strategy can't reach this height!

  As soon as he thought of Shi Yan leaving the Shi family to go to the Yang family in the Endless Sea, Shi Jian's heart felt suffocated, but he also knew that he couldn't stop this from happening, which made him even more miserable.

  "Sir Xiao, just now at the Divine Stone Plaza...". The warrior who was with Shi Yan had a solemn expression and hastily recounted their encounter along the way.

  Xiao Hanyi's face changed, and his ferocious-looking face was full of surprise.

  Half a moment later, Xiao Hanchen finally looked at Xia Xinyan and said in a low voice: "Xia, what do you think?"

  "A thousand years ago, the three gods of the San Shen Jiao, Ri Yue Xing, and many powerful cultivators from the sect went to the Seventh Hell Realm. In the battle with An Pi Wang, only Ri returned. Xing and Yue disappeared and never appeared again in the Endless Ocean. Xing's Ou Yang Zhi left behind the fake Tian Men in the Dead Silence Swamp and passed down the Wu Hun Yuan Yin, but Yue's Ou Yang Xia Hua was nowhere to be found. Could that woman from the meteorite outside be...?"

  "It's impossible!" Xiao Hanyi shook his head, interrupting Xia Xinyan's speculation. "The Moon Goddess Ouyang Xiawu is a Divine Realm expert. Even if she sealed herself for a thousand years, the divine sense of a Divine Realm expert would still be present, and her aura would never be so weak! According to what you said, that mysterious woman probably only has a Tianwei cultivation base, it's absolutely not Ouyang Xiawu!"

  "I heard that the Moon Goddess Ouyang Xiawu has a daughter with incredible talent, who is said to be named Ouyang Luoshuang. She also went to the Seventh Underworld back then. However, at that time, Ouyang Luoshuang was only 21 years old and had only reached the Hundred Calamities Realm in her cultivation. Could it be that this mysterious woman is actually her?"

  "Ouyang Luoshuang?"

  Xiao Hanyi's expression suddenly froze, and he exclaimed in surprise: "It's very likely that it's this woman! A thousand years ago, she already had the cultivation of the Hundred Calamities Boundary. During those seven layers of the Netherworld, the Moon God must have been severely injured, which is why she brought her out of the Netherworld together and used the fallen meteorites from outside the heavens to form a natural barrier, sealing Ou Yang Luoshuang inside. If it really is her, then this time the San Sheng Jiao will likely experience a huge surge in power."

  "Why?" Shi Yan asked in puzzlement.

  "The three divine souls of Flame Day, Silver Moon and Starry Sky can continuously absorb the energy of the sun, moon and stars. The more energy absorbed, the faster the three souls will evolve and become even more terrifying. In the Three Divine Sect, generally speaking, the older a warrior is, the higher the level of their Sun-Moon-Star soul. This is because age also means more absorption of Sun-Moon-Star energy, and with enough energy absorbed, the soul will naturally evolve."

  Xia Xinyan took a deep breath, "If that mysterious woman is really Ouyang Luoshuang, she must have absorbed the moonlight for thousands of years and who knows what level her Silver Moon Martial Soul has evolved to. Back then, Ouyang Luoshuang was one of the three gods' children, sealed for a thousand years, absorbing the moonlight for a thousand years, her Silver Moon Martial Soul is probably at an unimaginable level!"

  "A thousand years ago, the Three Gods Sect suffered a disastrous defeat. Although the Sun God survived and returned, he also perished three hundred years later. However, he spent those three hundred years cultivating a new generation of Sun Gods, but the Moon Goddess and Star Goddess disappeared forever. In these years, although many divine children emerged from the Three Gods Sect, none became the new Star Goddess or Moon Goddess. Even so, with only the Sun God remaining, the Three Gods Sect is still one of the strongest forces in the Endless Ocean. Now that Ouyang Luoshuang has absorbed the Thousand Year Moonlight and returned to the Endless Ocean, she will undoubtedly become the strongest Moon Goddess in history! This time, the power of the Three Gods Sect will surely surge greatly!" Xiao Hanyi also sighed incessantly.

  Shi Yan remained silent, listening to the conversation between Xiao Hanyi and Xia Xinyan, becoming increasingly curious about the mysterious San Sheng Jiao.

  "Shi Yan obtained the Star God's Stellar Martial Soul. If he can enter the Three Gods Sect and obtain the Three Gods Sect's secret technique for using martial souls, he will most likely become the new generation of Star Gods in the future." Xia Xinyan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stared at Shi Yan: "The Star God has a unique position in the Three Gods Sect. If the Three Gods Sect doesn't know Shi Yan's identity and truly imparts the sect's martial soul technique to him, then..."

  Xiao Hanyi's eyes lit up, and he nodded silently, saying: "Everything still needs to be decided by the master of the house. Letting Yan Shao go to the Three Gods Sect to receive the Wu Xuan Divine Technique is a bit too risky."

  "Shi Yan is a member of your Yang family, everything will be decided by your Yang family, I'm just making a suggestion." Xia Xinyan said calmly.

  "Master Shi, I originally wanted to stay a few more days, but the situation has changed and we must return to the Endless Sea earlier. Fortunately, the people who should be killed from the Ling, Mo, and Beiming families have been eliminated, and the remaining matters, I think you are capable of resolving."

  Xiao Hanyi hesitated for a moment, then took out two thread-like books from his bosom and handed them to Shi Jian: "Here are two spiritual-level martial skills, hoping they can be helpful to you. There is also a way to contact the Yang family here. If you encounter any trouble that cannot be solved in the future, you can hand it over to Ku Luo of Xuan Mi Pavilion, and Ku Luo will pass the message on to the Yang family."

  Shi Jian was both shocked and delighted, holding the thing handed over by Xiao Han's clothes, he didn't know what to say.

  "Shao Ye, we should set off early." Xiao Hanyi looked at Shi Yan.

  "I'll go take a look at my dad." Shi Yan nodded and quietly left.

  Half an hour later, Shi Yan and his family members bid farewell one by one, and boarded the Cyan Blood Bat ridden by Xiao Han.

  At the first light of dawn, Shi Yan rode on the back of the Cyan Blood Bat, under the sunlight, heading towards the endless Eastern Sea.
