Chapter 1044 - 271: Presenting Remains at the Grand Ceremony, Moon God Lends a Helping Hand (6k)
Then he spared no expense and sent Yu Ziqing a heap of gifts to express his gratitude.
Yu Ziqing accepted the gifts and continued to personally deliver the remaining few identifiable corpses to their respective families.
Since he had free time, he decided to make some appearances.
To persuade people not to trouble the Undying Mandala and extend this to the entire Immortal Herbs community.
Also, to diminish potential dangers to his own juice.
So that if anyone discovers there's an Immortal Herb on Jinlan Mountain, they wouldn't lose their minds in jealousy.
To prevent future troubles that Jinlan Mountain might face.
Yu Ziqing spoke, but they didn't believe him. However, the deathbed blood letters from their own elders, coupled with so many powerful deaths...
And the Liao Family's bloodline curse from years ago that implicated and killed two Ninth Tier individuals.
Adding all this together, surely they would believe now.
Yu Ziqing wandered leisurely for two years, finally delivering all the identifiable human strongmen's remains.
The unknown remains were brought back to Jinlan Mountain, where he found a spot in the eastern part of Jinlan Mountain to create a graveyard with the help of some hungry ghosts.
He also sought the village chief and personally wrote an inscription, placing it on a stele in the graveyard to warn future generations.
After completing his tasks, Yu Ziqing placed three incense sticks on each grave in the cemetery.
"All of you are seniors, who fought to the death when your time was near.
Driven by insatiable greed.
Now you have all passed away.
All I, the younger generation, can do is fulfill your last wishes.
By your experiences, warn future generations not to repeat the same mistakes and correct erroneous information.
Now that you are buried and can finally rest in peace."
Yu Ziqing bowed and turned to leave.
Moments later, a chilling wind swept through the graveyard, and the inscriptions on the stele began to blur as if they were fading.
In the next moment, countless thoughts appeared out of thin air, filling in the faded words.
The major forces had retrieved their ancestors and buried their remains, gathering their relics, and discovering their last wills.
No matter how deeply ingrained the concepts or how great the greed, they could not withstand the shock of so many powerful corpses appearing at once.
The strongest among them sensed something amiss and believed in the warnings.
Trustworthiness naturally increased with information spread from the top down.
Because, even if you don't believe, the information will be forcefully imparted to you.
Lusting after the Immortal Herb leads to a bad end.
Even the descendants of its bloodline will face retribution.
This was the new trend, and it was the truth.
Countless thoughts gathered, growing stronger and causing the inscriptions on the stele to blur and reach a stalemate.
Yu Ziqing's figure suddenly appeared before the stele.
He assumed the hungry ghost form, touched the stele with one hand, and stared expressionlessly.
Under the moonlight, Yu Ziqing murmured softly.
"Moonlight."
At his command, the brilliance of the bright moon increased dramatically.
Countless moonlight beams fell, transforming into a pillar of light that enveloped Yu Ziqing.
The new Divine Skill somewhat resembled the retrospection of the Shadow Department's Jade Mirror.
The bright moon witnessed history, with every night holding the world's hidden filth.
This Divine Skill was like using the moon to calculate past events with the Dayan Preface.
But unlike the Shadow Department's Jade Mirror, it didn't rely on the Divine Dynasty's power for retrospection.
Ultimately evolving into the Divine Skill known as Moonlight.
Yu Ziqing was quite satisfied; it would be useful for tracking down key intelligence.
He now wished to trace what power was erasing those inscriptions.
As Yu Ziqing used the Divine Skill,
the Moon God within the Moon Palace on the bright moon suddenly opened her eyes.
She gazed into the sky, sensing the changes on the bright moon.
Someone was harnessing the power of the bright moon, even attempting to use her power.
Upon deeper sensing, she detected a familiarity akin to when she encountered Shi long ago.
"Indeed, it's a descendant of his."
Further sensing revealed an elusive, indistinct power opposing.
Everything around began to transform.
The Moon God seemed to appear around Yu Ziqing, observing his appearance and sensing his aura.
There was also the natural affinity with the bright moon and a charisma very similar to Shi.
Though he assumed the hungry ghost form, it mattered not; the aura and essence were what counted.
She saw the stele and its inscription.
The Moon Goddess's brows furrowed slightly, surprised.
"Who is so brazen, daring to alter matters concerning the Immortal Herb?"
Even if this alteration wasn't directly targeting the Immortal Herb, skirting around the edges.
But if there was an issue, wasn't the risk of retribution not concerning?
Or could the other party afford the cost?
The Moon God's earlier curiosity faded, not needing to consider or choose.
On one side was a close to the bright moon and a descendant of Shi, correcting wrongs.
On the other was an unknown party courting disaster.
She certainly sided with Yu Ziqing.
The Moon God extended a hand gently, dispelling the surrounding illusions.
And the bright moon in the sky, its descending brilliance exploded a hundredfold, as the Moon God personally summoned the power of the bright moon.
In an instant, Yu Ziqing's eyes gleamed like the bright moon, radiating cold moonlight, as the power of the Divine Skill surged.
In Yu Ziqing's mind, the Earth Deity Origin held by the Yin God began to tremble slightly.
