"In the ancient East, there were legends of Chang 'e running to the moon, the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine, Wu Gang cutting down osmanthus, and so on. From these legends, we know that … in the myth of the moon, there was a mysterious osmanthus tree, a Jade Rabbit, and Chang' e …" The Sect Master's voice seemed to contain a strange power that calmed everyone down and immersed them in his voice.
"In the ancient Indian legends, the moon was a deity with four hands. They held a scepter, immortal nectar, and a lotus. As for the last hand, it held a protective seal.
"Interestingly, in the ancient Greek legends, the moon changed its appearance. She was the moon goddess Artemis, the sister of the sun god Apollo. At the same time, she was the protector of unmarried girls — she was never married. There is a sad story behind this. If you are interested, you can go back and read it in the library of the Dao College.
"There are also many ancient legends about the moon from various countries and civilizations. As we gradually landed on the moon, and with the appearance of the lunar colony, we found the answers to some of these things. We know that the moon is not a male deity or a goddess. We know that there is no Jade Rabbit or Chang 'e on the moon …
"However, there are still some things that, perhaps coincidences, or perhaps reincarnation, that even we … don't have the answers. For example … the giant corpse sleeping on the moon. For example … the mystery inside the moon. For example, during a landing on the moon five hundred years ago, someone found a withered tree branch in the soil."
The Sect Master's voice reverberated, causing Wang Baole and the others to ponder deeply. They knew a little about the moon's legends, and they couldn't help but associate them.
"However, most of this is in the past. With the arrival of the ancient greenish-bronze sword, countless fragments scattered across the starry sky, and many of them landed on the moon. Today, the moon … perhaps you all know about it from the news, has changed greatly!
"Now, there are not only plants on the moon, but also living creatures!"
The interstellar cruiser seemed to be moving slowly in the starry sky, but in reality, it was moving faster and faster. It was gradually moving away from Earth and closer to the moon. The people on the cruiser didn't seem to notice it, because they were all immersed in the Sect Master's words and had forgotten the passage of time.
Only the Sect Master had given them one topic after another to guide them. While they were deep in thought, they also gained a deeper understanding of the Mystic Luna Realm that they were about to enter.
"Perhaps there were living creatures on the moon a long time ago, but they disappeared for some unknown reason. Until the arrival of the fragments and the permeation of Spirit Qi, it was as though the moon had been revived, allowing these disappeared creatures to reappear!" The Sect Leader continued to explain the dangers of the Mystic Luna Realm.
"According to the current records, a total of six types of threatening life forms have been discovered!"
"The other one is a life form with various appearances and many strange changes. However, overall, its threat level is at the Ancient Martial Realm. We call them Luna Beasts!"
"The second type is the Moonlit Bat. This type of life form is very similar to bats, but there are subtle differences. It seems that there is a difference in the level of life form. They are slightly more threatening and are equivalent to the first or second level of the True Breath realm."
"As for the third type, we call them Luna Gu. They are like the legendary Worms of Death in the desert. The largest known one is at least ten thousand feet long, while the smallest one is at least a few hundred feet long. Although they are comparable to the third or fourth level of the True Breath realm, they have immense strength and are good at living in groups. Therefore, even Foundation Establishment cultivators would avoid them if they encounter them."
"As for the fourth type … you have to pay more attention to them. Although they look different, they have the same characteristics. Their unique characteristic is that they have many eyes growing all over their bodies. Their eyes can cast spells that can turn a person's flesh and blood into stone. The more eyes there are, the more powerful they are. Their threat level is comparable to the fifth level of the True Breath realm to the great circle of the True Breath realm.
"The fifth type is known as the Moon Spirit, and the sixth type is known as the Night Immortal … I hope you don't encounter them. If you do, then … immediately crush your life-saving jade slip. Believe me, if you do, you might die!"
"Even the weakest Moon Spirit is as threatening as a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The strongest of them is comparable to the great circle of the Foundation Establishment cultivator. As for the Night Immortal … anyone below the Core Formation realm will definitely die if they encounter it!"
"As for the giant corpse, we call it the Night Immortal King. You probably won't encounter it. Its cultivation level is unknown. Back then, the Grand Supreme Elder wielded a divine weapon and joined forces with many Core Formation cultivators of the Federation to fight it. They were defeated! "At this point, the Sect Leader paused for a moment, giving everyone time to absorb and accept the information.
At that moment, in the cruiser, the people who were preparing to enter the Mystic Luna Realm, including Wang Baole, were all shocked. Their breathing quickened. Apart from the information provided by the giant corpse, there were no other records of this. This was the first time they had heard of it.
After a long while, the Sect Leader's voice echoed again.
"These six types of life forms are only part of the dangers of the moon. In reality, the main reason why the moon is so difficult to develop is … the moon's weather!"
"After you enter the Mystic Luna Realm, you must remember to avoid all unknown weather conditions as much as possible. For example, there is a certain possibility that a mirage could become reality on the moon. Even if it only exists for a short period of time, its destructive power is shocking!"
"Also, electromagnetic storms, which are not very common on Earth, occur frequently on the moon!"
"Take the Mystic Trace Fog as an example. Once enshrouded by it, it would teleport all the foreign beings to various locations on the moon at random. If they were unlucky, they might even be teleported to the depths of the dark side of the moon."
"There is also poisonous rain, corrosive wind, and so on …" Following the Sect Leader's introduction, Wang Baole and the others took a deep breath and listened attentively. They now had a more direct understanding of the dangers of the Mystic Luna Realm.
Time passed slowly as the Sect Leader continued to introduce the moon. After an unknown period of time, when the Sect Leader finished his explanation, the moon … was already in front of everyone's eyes!
The moon, which wasn't big in their memories, was now majestic in front of everyone's eyes. As it descended, they could see that the entire moon was covered with colonies.
These colonies weren't connected but were scattered in spots. There were close to a thousand of them, and they belonged to different factions within the Federation. Upon closer inspection, they could see that most of these colonies were on the periphery, like a dotted line that divided the moon into three parts.
The areas that were permanently occupied were only a small portion of the entire moon. There were about a hundred bases belonging to the four major Dao Colleges, and the entrance to the Mystic Luna Realm this time was set by the four major Dao Colleges at one of the bases on the periphery.
There were many entrances to the Mystic Luna Realm. Every faction had their own entrance, and they entered from different directions. These entrances were strictly inspected by the various factions to ensure that everyone who entered the Mystic Luna Realm met the requirements of the treaty.
At the same time, as the isolation array formation outside the Mystic Luna Realm was activated all year round, the entry and exit of cultivators above the Foundation Establishment realm was strictly checked and recorded. The Federation would clean up and check in advance, ensuring that there wouldn't be any disruptions during the trial period of the True Breath disciples.
At this moment, as they descended, the moon became clearer in everyone's eyes. The craters on its surface also became huge basins one after another. The entire land also changed from an arc at the beginning to a flat surface, becoming a boundless land!
The spaceport where the interstellar cruiser was about to land became clearer in everyone's eyes. They could see that there were already a few interstellar cruisers from the other three major Dao Colleges there.
With a loud boom, the interstellar cruiser from the Ethereal Dao College landed on the spaceport of the entrance base. The earth seemed to tremble a few times, and dust clouds were stirred up.
When the dust clouds dissipated, Wang Baole followed the crowd out of the cruiser with excitement and anticipation. He saw a planet that was different from Earth. The sky here was black, but the land was extremely bright.
Although there wasn't an atmosphere, the problem of breathing had been solved with the development of the moon. Even if they were in the outside world, there wouldn't be much of an impact. As cultivators, even if there were harmful substances in the air, it wouldn't be a problem.
The only thing that Wang Baole and the rest couldn't get used to was the suppressive force that was constantly present in this place. It was as if they were carrying a small mountain on their backs, causing their breathing to become heavy and their bodies to feel as if they were being restrained.
This required time to get used to. At the same time, it was also one of the reasons why ordinary people couldn't survive here for long.
At that moment, when Wang Baole and the rest alighted from the cruiser and entered the base, they saw … almost a thousand cultivators from the other three major Dao Colleges, as well as their respective Core Formation realm cultivators!
