Chapter 520: 520: Hall of Water’s Trial (5)
At the side restaurant of the Hall of Water, almost everyone in Huashen Realm was watching their juniors and disciples as they did their trials. The mermaids and mermans in the areas are serving them. The tables were full of drinks and food. However, except for the drinks and desserts, the Moon Goddess didn’t touch anything.
The Immortal Sun God asked, "What’s wrong, Xue’er?"
Yue Xuexia just glanced at the food but didn’t pick anything. She lifted her cup and took a sip.
She said, "Nothing. I am just not in the mood to eat."
"Are you worried about A’Shui? Don’t worry about that kid. As a Water Lotus Flower, the water is a part of his domain," said She Jueyang.
Yue Xuexia said, "I am not worried about A’Shui. However, he must have joined the trial to get some food for his siblings. I just hope he doesn’t overdo it."
"Don’t worry. Nothing would happen to the kid. I will make a move if something happens," said Shen Jueyang.
The Moon Goddess nods her head in agreement to his words. She knew that this man can truly save her child if something truly happens. She enjoyed her milk tea while watching the scene shown at the water screen in the restaurant.
On their table, Grandpa Xia and Grandma Su had joined the two of them. The two elders aren’t that fond of eating and just joined their table to drink tea.
Grandpa Xia said, "Xue’er, that boy is yours, right? Don’t worry, Bai’er will look after him well."
"Gramps, where did you find those disciples of yours? He seems to be capable of hiding himself from the eyes of the heavens, making most of his divination punishment free," said Shen Jueyang.
The old couple laughs as if recalling something they wouldn’t forget.
Xia Lianyu said, "That child Baiyu was picked up by us during one of our missions."
"That boy is a halfling elf. We picked him up for that reason. Maybe he knows where my father has gone," said Grandma Su.
Recalling that pureblood ancient elf that is loved by nature, he would be hard to kill and can regenerate as long as there are forests within his sight. An unkillable cockroach.
Shen Jueyang said, "Grandma, don’t worry about that High Elf. He cannot be killed even if you kill him. If ancient elves can be easily killed then they wouldn’t be the defender of the World Trees."
"You are right. Father will be safe," Su Hialun said with a smile.
The Moon Goddess finally spoke and said, "Have you found traces of Papa, Mama, Xiao Ji and Ruru?"
The two old couples looked at each other and shook their heads. It seems there is still no news about the Yue Family in this realm. It was as if they had disappeared somewhere else.
"No. I’ve asked people to check almost all the major and minor cities but they couldn’t find him. If they didn’t enter this Cultivation Realm then they might have fallen into another dimension," said Grandpa Xia Lianyu. "However, don’t worry. Your father is not an ordinary person. His lineage as someone from the Lightning God’s bloodline is not simple. As long as they are together they will be safe."
"I’ve actually tried to divine where they are..." The Moon Goddess said.
Xia Lianyu was shocked. Actually, he did as well but found nothing at all. He was a bit worried because of this fact and felt that those guys might have fallen in a place that is separated from this Cultivation Realm.
He said, "Actually, I also did. However, I saw nothing. How about you Xue’er?"
"At first, I saw nothing. But I’ve burned a bit of my blood essence and saw the place they are in. It’s just that I don’t know where that is," said Yue Xuexia.
Shen Jueyang said, "Don’t worry. You can explain it to us first. Maybe we had seen that place or something."
The Moon Goddess nods her head in agreement. But instead of explaining the place she just projected that part of her memories for everyone to see. The projection is a bit hazy as if being blocked by something. However, they saw a few parts of it. Countless broken altar and dungeons. Gigantic Spirit and demonic beasts and finally terrains that houses beings that can be considered beyond god realm.
The moment everyone had seen this, almost those in an older generation recognized the place right away. The one who spoke first is none other than the Sect Master of the Starfield Sect.
Sect Master Xing Kunlun said, "Isn’t this... the Ancient Ruins that is about to open?"
"How can they fall in such an enclosed space?" said Grandpa Xia as he gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder, we can’t find them anywhere."
"Is there something wrong with this place, Gramps?" asked Yue Xuexia.
Xia Lianyu explained, "The Ancient Ruin is located in some other dimension and the entrance to it not only opens in this Cultivation Realm but somewhere else as well. Moreover, this ruins is an enclosed space. It cannot be opened from the inside and its entrance would only open every 500 years."
"500 years. But you said that it’s about to open? When will it open next and where is the entrance?" The Moon Goddess asked.
Xia Lianyu and the others looked around. Most of those who are in this place are all Huashen Realm and they were all informed about the location of the Ancient Ruin’s entrance.
The Poison Goddess Susan said, "The entrance to the Ancient Ruins is at the center of the Cultivation Realm. The Empire."
"But... there is a requirement for one to be able to enter. The vessel’s body must not be older than 150 years old or the entrance would block them. So..." The Holy Witch Suzi didn’t complete her words but she is clearly hinting that those older than 150 cannot enter the Ancient Ruins.
The Moon Goddess remained calm and looked a bit confused as she said, "Then there shouldn’t be any problem. Except for the fact that I have inherited the Moon Goddess’s Legacy, I am only 30 years old this year. I should be able to go inside."
"
THIRTY YEARS OLD!?"Except for Grandma Su, Grandpa Xia and Shen Jueyang, everyone in the restaurant was flabbergasted and exclaimed in disbelief.
Sect Master Xing Kunlun asked, "A-Are you... truly only... only 30 years old?"
Yue Xuexia nods her head, making some of those in the restaurant cursed in shock.
Grandpa Xia said, "My granddaughter is indeed just thirty years old and she just started cultivating at the age of 26."
"Doesn’t that mean that Miss Yue reached Peak Huashen Realm in just four years?!!!" The Holy Witch exclaimed.
Shen Jueyang said, "She is the reincarnation of the original Moon Goddess. Four years is enough to reach Huashen Realm. If not for the fact that this star had just regained its spiritual qi, she wouldn’t have stopped to a mere Huashen Realm."
Others couldn’t help but stare at the Moon Goddess as if seeing a monster in cultivation. How could one who just started cultivating even her starting point as a mortal to reach her current realm at such a young age. She is no different than the monsters from the Immortal Realm. No, it can be said that she is better than they are.
Yue Xuexia no longer looked at the other and moved her gaze to the water projection to watch Yue Huashui’s trial. Since she knows where her family is, all she can do is to go to that Empire and wait for the entrance of the Ancient Ruins to open and bring out her family.
She is ignoring the eyes that keep on landing on her as if treating her a little monster. They only stopped looking when Shen Jueyang gave them a warning glare. However, the shock of knowing the Moon Goddess’s age and her cultivation realm is simply unbelievable. If she is not lying about her age, she can indeed enter the Ancient Ruins.
Their collective thoughts are the same.
[A thirty year old Peak Huashen Realm Cultivator with an awakened physique and domain. What a monster!]

Meanwhile back to the perspective of Xong Suiri and Lan Guye.
Lan Guye was on guard while his Senior Brother was resting when suddenly Lan Yi the Senior Brother of Lan Guye from the same master had arrived with another two Yuanying Realm cultivators from the sect. As expected, Lan Guye’s expression turned ugly seeing his Senior Brother. It’s the very same Senior Brother who gave him this hidden dungeon map without explaining everything to him. In reality, he gave him false information and if not for the Moon Goddess coincidentally with them that day, he and his junior brother and junior sister would have died.
Lan Yi glanced at Xing Suiri and gave his junior brother a smug smile. He said, "Shidi, be good and give Shixiong the pearls you have gathered."
"No way! This is something Senior Brother Xing and I had found!" Lan Guye said.
Lan Yi chuckled and said, "That Senior Brother Xing of yours cannot protect you right now. Little one, just give up the pearls to your Shixiong!"
He and the other two disciples he grouped with were against Xing Suiri as the next heir of the Starfield Sect. They couldn’t accept that just because he is the disciple of the current Sect Master, he is destined to become the future sect master. Lan Yi had always hated Xing Suiri and Lan Guye. Because they are born talented and hard working. On the other hand all he had is hard work and despite all his sacrifices he can never be the equal of talented ones like these two wrapping his personality to be this twisted.
