"Sigh, I never thought that after so much effort, the scepter would end up in the hands of a woman who's not even an Earth Saint Master. How ironic." A blood-soaked, pale-faced old man laughed in a self-deprecating manner. His face was filled with disappointment, and there seemed to be a sliver of envy as well. He was envious of You Yue's fortuitous encounter.
"There's no point in continuing to stay in this Bright Moon Divine Hall. So be it. Instead of staying here with a face full of unwillingness and watching that little girl come out with a face full of happiness, it's better to leave now. Otherwise, it'll only add to the sorrow in my heart." The old man stared at the ceiling of the hall in a daze as he mumbled to himself. He left the Bright Moon Divine Hall in disappointment.
"Hmph, isn't it all because of the Winged Tiger? If it weren't for the Winged Tiger, the scepter would have ended up in our hands long ago. How could it have ended up in the hands of a weak woman …"
"Don't you understand? The Winged Tiger did everything it could to stop us because it wanted the scepter for that woman. Sigh, who told her to be Jianchen's fiancée? She has a great backer like Jianchen, so even the prideful Winged Tiger is helping her …"
"Sigh, my daughter is around the same age as that woman. She's also beautiful and alluring. She's a rare beauty in the world. How great would it be if my daughter had some sort of relationship with Jian Chen …"
…
The surroundings buzzed with discussion. Many people sighed regretfully, feeling extremely reluctant to accept this outcome. This was because apart from the scepter, they had not come across any other treasures in this trip to the Bright Moon Divine Hall. How could the group of powerhouses, who had worked so hard for so long only to obtain nothing in the end, be willing to accept this?
Quite a few people in the crowd looked at the Winged Tiger with undisguised hatred and resentment. They were all rather conceited and confident in their own strength. They all believed that if it were not for the Winged Tiger, the scepter would have ended up in their hands long ago.
Although many people in the crowd hated the Winged Tiger to the core, none of them dared to touch the Winged Tiger. They had all experienced the Winged Tiger's great battle prowess firsthand. They had only managed to heavily injure the Winged Tiger with their Heaven Tier Battle Skills, so killing it would be even more difficult. Moreover, none of them knew whether the Winged Tiger was hiding any other abilities or secret techniques.
All the people who had entered the Bright Moon Divine Hall were sent to the same place by the divine hall's power. At that moment, the number of people on the first floor of the divine hall suddenly skyrocketed, becoming densely packed. They had basically filled up the small space left in the divine hall.
The experts who were still moving through the maze and had yet to reach the top also learned about what had happened at the top from others. They were all disappointed and regretful. After staying there for a while, they all left dejectedly.
People constantly left the Bright Moon Divine Hall, causing the number of people in the divine hall to rapidly decrease. In the end, only around a hundred people remained, including the Winged Tiger and the Evil King. All of them stared at the formation space that trapped all the Holy Emperor worriedly.
At the top floor of the divine hall, the illusionary Fairy Haoyue had already left the jade stone in the same secret room. She had left the jade stone for You Yue to meditate on. You Yue was enveloped by a layer of dense moon essence as she slowly lay on the jade stone with her eyes closed. The dense Moonlight Force around her constantly seeped into her body, constantly modifying it.
Fairy Haoyue stared at You Yue with mixed feelings. She thought, "My father created the Moon God's Treasured Mirror just for me. It's extremely profound, able to steal the fortune of the world. My father once told me that only I can practice the Moon God's Treasured Mirror. If anyone else tries to practice it, they will be doomed. I wonder if I was right or wrong to pass this cultivation method to You Yue …"
"But my father once said that if others practice the Moon God's Treasured Mirror, the flaws will only appear when they break through to Godhood. With You Yue's talent, it'll be difficult for her to reach the Holy Emperor's level of cultivation. Even if she uses heavenly resources, she'll only barely reach the level of a Holy Emperor. Now that she practices the Moon God's Treasured Mirror and has her body modified by my moon essence, she'll be able to reach the level of a Holy Emperor at the very least. If she has origin energy, she might even be able to break through to the Holy Emperor realm …
”
"Although she'll never be able to reach Godhood in the future, she'll be able to live for quite some time at the very least. Speaking of which, I'm not trying to harm her …"
…
It had already been over half a month since the Bright Moon Divine Hall had appeared. A sea of people had already gathered outside the divine hall. The entire area was densely packed with people. Their strength varied from Heaven Saint Master to Holy Emperor.
A few great elders from the ten protector clans had all come. Even the grand elder of Mercenary City, Tian Jian, had personally hurried over. There were also many ancestors from ancient clans. Many Holy Emperor experts had gathered together. They all stared at the divine hall with furrowed brows.
The people who had emerged from the divine hall brought the latest news, letting everyone know that Fairy Haoyue was still alive and that her image was still in the divine hall. At the same time, they learned that a weak woman had obtained the scepter and had been transported to an unknown place by the throne of the divine hall.
The Holy Emperor experts from the ancient clans were naturally concerned about who the Bright Moon Divine Hall belonged to. As soon as they heard that the divine hall had chosen a woman who was not even an Earth Saint Master, they immediately felt that it was unfair. They even wanted to steal the divine hall, but as You Yue's name spread, their wild ambitions were immediately extinguished.
The ancestors of the ancient clans were familiar with Jianchen's fiancée. Although You Yue was weak, she was proud of Jianchen, so the ancestors of the ancient clans did not dare to offend her.
Although Jianchen was trapped in the formation and his fate was unknown, he still had the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture behind him.
The protector clans did not care about the divine hall. They were all worried about the great elder trapped in the divine hall. The Holy Emperor was a supreme expert who stood at the apex of the world after all. Even the protector clans could not afford to lose him.
At the same time, they were shocked by the fact that fairy Hao Yue was still alive. However, people guessed very soon that the image of fairy Hao Yue that the Saint Rulers had seen was most likely an imprint left behind by fairy Hao Yue through her abilities, or perhaps it was because her soul had not been wiped out.
"I hope nothing happens to Changyang Shōten. He's the pride of our Changyang Prefecture. He's the future of our Changyang Prefecture." Changyang Zu Yunxiao and Changyang Zu Xiao stared at the Bright Moon Divine Hall worriedly as they prayed inside. The two of them were the most senior members of the Zu branch in Changyang Prefecture, and Jianchen was their grandson. As a result, the two of them cared about Jianchen very much.
At this moment, with a flash of light, all the people who remained in the divine hall were transported out. Even the Winged Tiger and Xie Wang were no exceptions. Aside from the Holy Emperor and You Yue, everyone who had entered the divine hall left.
"Bang!" With a heavy sound, the wide open door of the Bright Moon Divine Hall automatically closed. Afterwards, the entire divine hall began to glow with hazy light, directly breaking through the sky and flying into outer space.
Without needing any orders, all the experts of the Holy Emperor followed the divine hall into outer space. Even quite a few Saint Rulers followed. Only the Sky Saint Water remained behind helplessly because outer space was not a place where Heaven Saint Masters could set foot in.
Ruijin emerged from the artifact space and sternly stared in the direction the divine hall had disappeared in. With a wave of his hand, he shot into the sky with the saint artifact and the White Tiger, pursuing the divine hall.
The majestic Bright Moon Divine Hall hovered in outer space. The entire divine hall radiated with a layer of moonlight that was visible to the naked eye. At this moment, it was possible to see strands of moonlight being absorbed by the Bright Moon Divine Hall from outer space.
"The Bright Moon Divine Hall has come to outer space just so that it can absorb Moonlight Force more easily," a Holy Emperor expert said in surprise.
"The Bright Moon Divine Hall is so intelligent. Someone must be secretly controlling it. It can't be You Yue …"
"If that's the case, it must be Fairy Haoyue controlling the divine hall. Is Fairy Haoyue really still alive? Has her soul survived like the sea goddess …"
All the Holy Emperor experts guessed. They became more and more certain that Fairy Haoyue was still alive.
Changyang Zu Yunxiao clasped his hands at the divine hall and said, "Esteemed Fairy Haoyue, I am the great elder of the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Zu Yunxiao. Our people from the Changyang Prefecture have offended you earlier by entering your divine hall without permission. Please be magnanimous and let them out."
The Bright Moon Divine Hall was extremely quiet. Not a single sound rang out. Changyang Zu Yunxiao did not receive any response.
Fairy Hao Yue stood in the air within the Bright Moon Divine Hall. She stared straight at You Yue and murmured, "You can't consume too much of the essence of the moon in the divine hall, or the defenses of the divine hall will weaken drastically. It'll be very difficult to activate many of the formations, and absorbing the essence of the moon in the air to refine your body will take an extremely long time. It'll take three months at the very least to complete it. Whatever, I'll just borrow their power. It may not be Moonlight Force, but I can convert it into Moonlight Force through formations. "
Fairy Haoyue changed her hand seals and immediately, the suction force in the formation space greatly increased, causing the Holy Emperor trapped inside to flow away at a much faster rate. It was actually several dozen times or even several hundred times faster than before.
"What's going on? Why has the suction force suddenly increased by so much?" All the experts from the Holy Emperor paled in fright. Their faces were filled with fear. After the suction force increased, all the remaining energy within them was sucked away in a single moment, leaving nothing behind. The Holy Emperor did not even have the strength to sit up after losing all his energy. He directly collapsed onto the ground.
Half of the Holy Emperor trapped in the formation space had already collapsed onto the ground. The other half were relatively stronger, but they did not last very long either. They all followed in his footsteps and collapsed onto the ground. Even Ruijin and Honglian were no exceptions.
On the other hand, Jianchen suddenly became relaxed. He stared at everyone in confusion, but he felt extremely surprised because he had discovered something.
