Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

Once the elders had calmed down, the Immortal Sun Emperor finally spoke about the Blood Sea. Though he didn’t know about this place, he knew something about the hidden emperor that rules that place. He had investigated every emperor realm cultivator before he had returned to the Core Region the first moment he had returned to the Immortal Realm. This is just one of his preparations to return to this world. Who would have expected that it would be used as of now as something that can help the Black Cloud Academy to prepare against the Blood Sea Tribe.

The Immortal Sun Emperor speaks, "I do not know much about the Blood Sea but I know something about the Blood Sea Emperor. Everyone says that he is a sea monster that has reached the Emperor Realm but they are wrong."

Wu Yao and Wu Zhou were stunned. They asked, "What do you mean?"

Like everyone else, they also believe that the Blood Sea Emperor was a sea monster. After all, what he rules is the territory of the Blood Sea itself. Due to his ruling, no other tribe or race that lives on land was able to stay in the Blood Sea even at the shore. Only those who were born in the Blood Sea itself, even if they are mixed , can stay in the blood sea shore. Because of that most other races that didn’t live in the sea choose not to linger in this area. After all, there are lots of stories about wandering people in this area getting lost forever and never returning to the land for all eternity.

There are also rumors saying that the blood sea was made up of blood itself, the blood of all the enemies the Blood Sea Emperor had killed. With how large the blood sea equates to the number of beings he had killed. That’s why even the other emperor avoided the blood sea and would always detour it. No one would choose to enter such an evil place unless they wanted to die.

There is also the fact that the tribes that live in this area are all bloodthirsty and unwelcoming of the outsiders. For the Mahayama Gods this place is a death zone. If they ever step inside they should forget about living. For the God king cultivators this blood sea is a forbidden zone. There is a little possibility of them coming back alive yet there is still a bit of hope. As for the emperor’s realm cultivators, this is another emperor’s territory. Unless they come here to wage war they wouldn’t step in here.

Another rumor says that the Blood Sea Emperor had been sleeping for a long time. Because of the lack of the head to lead the beings of the area, a lot of the aborigines born to the Blood Sea had taken over the authority and a certain faction existed within it. There are tribes who revered the Blood Sea Emperor and there is also a group that believed that their God of Slaughter had long been dead. Because of the fragmentation of authority within the blood sea, all kinds of unwanted rumors were attached to this eerie place.

The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "The Blood Sea Emperor is not a sea monster but a human whose path was the Dao of Slaughter. He kills to live. He kills to eliminate his enemies. He kills to remove all his obstacles. However, he had never killed an innocent person or being. But it seems that he had fallen into a long slumber, and some of his kinsmen had betrayed him. Most of these traitors had created another race which is the Blood Sea Tribe. A mixture of blood sea monsters and their mutation as well as mixing their bloodline with other races including the human race. I have met him before, even though his face was covered with a mask, without doubt that the Blood Sea Emperor is a human."

This is something Wu Yao and Wu Zhou didn’t expect. Like everyone else in this world they had believed that the Blood Sea Emperor is a sea monster, but right now the Immortal Sun Emperor is telling them that he is a human beings and the current dominant races and tribe in the blood sea, half of them were born from the bloodline of those who had betrayed the slumbering Blood Sea Emperor.

Wu Zhou said, "Then the one who had created that contract. Is it from the faction that betrayed their emperor or the side that remained loyal to him."

"Think with your head, Xiao Zhou! Would a human kill another human for the sake of power? Only demonic cultivators and monsters do that!" Wu Yao hit the head of his younger brother. "Ruthless beings that even target human cubs! Do you still think they are human beings!?"

Wu Zhou realized that he had spoken something wrong and closed his mouth. His elder brother is right. Even demonic cultivators usually avoid human children, only those who lose their humanity would make a move on the young and babies.

"What are we going to do then? Should we send people to investigate to find the person who had created that contract and signed it together with the supreme elder?" Wu Zhou asked. "Since Dage can’t leave the academy should I investigate myself?"

The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "Even with the backing of Xue’er you cannot go there. The Yue Clan had no interaction with the Blood Sea Territory. No one from that place would be terrified enough not to make a move on you. I will send my people instead. If something happens to you Xue’er gets angry. I would like it if Xue’er is not forced to use her realm while her soul is still healing."

"Wait, are you telling me that Xue’er’s soul is injured? Brat, tell me everything! What happened?!" Wu Yao asked about the Immortal Sun Emperor.

He unconsciously grabbed the young man’s collar like an extremely aggressive old man despite his young uncle’s face. After being cured by Yue Xuexia, his old man with white beard and white hair had disappeared. Most of his lost vitality had returned to him and all his injuries had been cured as well, paired with his God king realm and age that didn’t equate to that of an old monster, his appearance had regressed with his body healed.

The Immortal Sun Emperor reacted like a rebellious young man and pulled the hair of the aggressive Wu Yao. They were now brawling like children. Pulling whatever can be pulled and punched out without true strength. Acting like a strict uncle and a naughty nephew fighting with loving punches and scratches.

Shen Jueyang complained, "Let go, old man! How can I say anything with you grabbing me like this!?"

"Stupid brat! Stop wasting time and talk. This old man is listening!" Wu Yao retorted.

The two men acted like how water and oil mixed. These two men never got along well. Even Wu Zhou had sighed seeing how these two acted against one another. They didn’t even care about their face. If someone heard that the ruthless tyrant that rules the Immortal Sun Empire and the supposed to be dying former principal of the Black Cloud Academy see this scene no one would have recognized them. It took a while before Wu Zhou had successfully separated the two men.

Covered in bruises and scratches, Shen Jueyang and Wu Yao had finally stopped fighting. Both had black eyes and equal scratches on their faces and Wu Zhou had to help treat it for them.

Wu Zhou said, "Why do you two always like to brawl like children?"

"It’s this old man(brat’s) fault!" The two shouted in unison. If one told Wu Zhou that these two are grandfather and grandson people would definitely accept it.

Both old and young are stubborn, proud and the type to never back down from a fight. Like they say alike would definitely clash no matter what the reason is.

SIGH~

Wu Zhou, pinching his temples, chose to let the pair be.

"Alright, stop fighting. Xiao Shen, can you tell us what is wrong with Xue’er’s soul? How did she get hurt? Who had harmed her?" Wu Zhou asked seriously as if planning to take revenge towards the person who had caused it.

Even Wu Yao’s expression had turned serious at this moment. No one can bully his beloved disciple.

The Immortal Sun Emperor sigh helplessly as he used an ice pack for his bruise. "If it’s someone else I would have killed them already! But the cause of Xue’er’s soul injury was because she was protecting someone from the Dao itself."

He told them the story about how the Primordial God of Death’s reincarnation had become Yue Xuexia’s foster son and how the brat almost failed his tribulation trial. A trial of a primordial god possessed the strongest tribulation punishment. To protect her godson, her soul got injured in the process which led to her current soul injuries. Upon hearing the details the two elders felt the same helplessness the Immortal Sun Emperor is feeling. If it’s another person they can take revenge, but the cause is none other than the person they wanted to protect. What are they supposed to do? Scold the Moon Goddess. If scolding had any use, then this powerful Immortal Sun Emperor wouldn’t be this depressed.
