Chapter 1064 - 275: Spiriting Away and Overturning an Era
After the banquet, Emperor Kuihou finally found an opportunity to chat with Yu Ziqing again. However, as soon as he approached, he felt the presence of Ruan Renwang, and his entire body shivered.
He always had the feeling that this family elder, supposedly idly acting as Yu Ziqing's Dao-Protecting figure, would open up his skull at any moment.
Even though there wasn't the slightest hint of murderous intent, it still made him feel exceptionally dangerous.
He, after all, was already Ninth Tier!
He ruled over the highest cultural heritage in the entire world, the highest class and most prestigious brothel.
Emperor Kuihou could only temporarily give up, agreeing that he must come again when he had the time, and next time he would make another big purchase.
When Yu Ziqing and his group left, Emperor Kuihou glanced at the woman beside him, and the two of them exchanged a look.
"I feel that as long as the person with eyes always closed opens them, I am doomed."
"I feel just like when I was young, standing next to a Ninth Tier Strong, that complete sense of being unstoppable."
The two exchanged glances, and Emperor Kuihou sighed.
"Luckily, we have a pretty good relationship. I'm not cut out to be an emperor; I should focus on running my beloved business."
...
"That's the situation; I don't really understand it, so I can only consult the Moon God," the Dragon Woman expressed her confusion.
In the Moon Palace, the Moon God was also puzzled.
Why did the Dragon Woman think she would definitely know?
Throughout history, countless living beings could absorb Moonlight, or rather, all living beings, even inanimate objects, could absorb Moonlight. It was true equality among all beings.
This was also one of the main reasons why other Deities found her displeasing in the past.
But someone like Yu Ziqing, who used Divine Skills by borrowing the power of the Bright Moon, was exceedingly rare.
The exact same Divine Skill had never appeared before.
She had been asleep for so many years, and only recently had she awakened and regained her True Form.
The Moon God was silent for a moment. Although she didn't know the specifics, she would provide plenty of information since Yu Ziqing asked.
She explained the changes in the power of the Bright Moon to the Dragon Woman, so she could pass it on to Yu Ziqing.
Believing that since he is the disciple of that person, he should be able to deduce the outcome with this information.
On the other side, Yu Ziqing was also examining the data he could find, much of which had been given by Song.
The Pink Moon didn't have much to say about it and appeared quite frequently.
The Blue Moon represented disasters, and not just minor inconveniences.
The Red Moon, or Blood Moon, was inherently ominous—nothing good ever came from it.
A large number of records were listed under each type as evidence.
In addition to the Dragon Woman's response, Yu Ziqing had some ideas.
Riding on the Flying Boat, Ruan Renwang stood there motionless as Yu Ziqing looked at the data, heading eastward.
He planned to go to the deep sea directly to take a look first.
Along the way, constantly orienting himself, and with Ruan Renwang there, they didn't encounter anyone who dared to seek death, though they did encounter bad weather several times.
After circling around for more than a year, they finally reached their target location.
They say the range of the sea far exceeds the size of the land, and now Yu Ziqing felt it firsthand.
Even without encountering any Great Demons or Big Fierce Beasts, just the changes in weather gave a high probability of getting lost, if not dead.
Yu Ziqing made enough preparations, leaving several Dao Marks to adjust against one another, so he didn't get lost in the general direction.
Diving into the sea, as they advanced toward the target, Ruan Renwang's presence began to manifest, as if sensing danger, automatically responding.
Yu Ziqing compared the information left by Ruan Renwang to that given by the Old Dragon King and basically confirmed.
Yet surrounded by underwater mountains, it was deathly silent with not a hint of light, and the location of that peak was now empty.
Not only was there no mountain, the plain wasn't even there—it was like a Canyon that continued to extend deeper.
Calculating the time, Yu Ziqing surfaced and quietly engaged in cultivation, waiting for the appearance of the Pink Moon.
Months later, as the sun set and the moon rose, gradually, the Bright Moon emitted a hue like pink or a pale rose red.
The Moonlight fell upon the sea surface. This time, the Moonlight wasn't mostly reflected away and, as the moonlight changed, all of it began to sink into the sea.
The seawater seemed to become transparent, and even the terrifying depth seemed unable to stop the Moonlight from falling to the seabed.
In the glow of the Pink Moon, Yu Ziqing slowly saw the outline of a peak gradually appearing in that underwater Canyon.
As the Moonlight grew brighter, when the Bright Moon seemed to have swollen in size, the seawater turned completely transparent, and the Bright Moon's radiance fully illuminated the seabed.
A massive peak, as if shaped by knife and axe, emerged above the Canyon where he stood.
As the gigantic peak became clearer, some inscriptions began to appear on it.
Upon seeing a few words, Yu Ziqing's expression slightly changed.
In a trance, a sense of familiarity emerged in his heart.
Even though he didn't know these words, he immediately understood their meaning upon seeing them.
The information contained within each word was immense, but as he combined the meaning of each word before and after, the vast meaning began to shrink, collapsing into a fixed interpretation.
There wasn't the slightest deviation.
In a trance, Yu Ziqing seemed to see a massive mountain descending from the sky, landing on the land, followed by a finger writing upon the peak.
The vast quantity of information continuously condensed into written characters.
