Chapter 496: 496: Night Talk
The nightly visit of the Primordial Poison Witch, Tang Yuri, was expected by Yue Xuexia as she had indeed told this lady to meet her alone. It just so happened that tonight met these requirements. Yue Xuexia had been waiting for her arrival.
"Take a seat." Yue Xuexia said.
After respectfully greeting the Moon Goddess, with her permission she sat on the chair opposite of Yue Xuexia. She looked at the spiritual tea on the table which was mixed with soul stabilizing pills. It looked extremely attractive for her current soul state which had just woken up from her slumber. The Moon Goddess had to refine various pills whenever she was bored. As long as there are materials she will make some. It can be said that she had a whole warehouse of various pills in her possession.
The Primordial Poison Witch, Tang Yuri, noticed that the moon goddess is staring at her face as if she found her appearance familiar not couldn’t find the connection between two things.
Tang Yuri couldn’t help but ask, "Is there something wrong with my face, Moon Empress?"
Slightly narrowing her eyes at the title of empress, Yue Xuexia gave up correcting the lady in front of her.
"You look similar to one of my subordinates. However, her name is Tan and not Tang." Yue Xuexia said as she pulled out her phone showing the photo of Tan Bingyu.
Though the Primordial Poison Witch didn’t know what this object is that was passed to her hand, the moment she saw Tan Bingyu’s face, she felt that this young lady looked so similar to her elder sister, the heir of the Tang Clan Sect.
Tang Yuri was stunned at first and started murmuring, "Look similar. No, she looks so much like my elder sister. May I know the name of this child and her background?"
"Her name is Tan Bingyu from the Hidden Tan Clan. This clan serves under me and she is my closest aide. The Princess of Tan Clan. She also has half of the Snow Clan’s bloodline as her mother is from the Xue Clan. That is all I know." The Moon Goddess said.
She added, "I do not know if you are connected by blood as you look similar to one another. I also know that there are lots of people who look the same but are strangers. What do you think?"
The Primordial Poison Witch answered, "I am unsure, Your Highness. But she indeed looks so similar. Not only to me, but more to my elder sister, Tang Yuyi. She... might truly be a relative."
"My sister and I had fallen into a space crack and fell to this world. We were badly injured and some of our enemies had been sucked into the space distortion with us. My elder sister hid me somewhere before taking the enemies away with her. That was our last meeting."
"However, I believed that she had lived. It was me who had failed to find her."
Yue Xuexia stared at her and used divination to see the connection between Tan Bingyu and the Primordial Poison Witch. What she got as an answer is as she had expected, they indeed possessed a blood connection.
She said, "I do not know if it had something to do with your sister. But according to my divination result, your fate sends you to the direction of the north."
"North. Why north?" Tang Yuri asked.
The Moon Goddess said, "Your star says that what you are looking for is in the North."
The Primordial Poison Witch finally understood what kind of divination the Moon Empress is talking about. It’s a star divination that is all about her. In her whole life, her only regret is not finding her elder sister. Now that she was given a direction as a clue, she decided to go to the north as a chance to find her elder sister.
Tang Yuri said, "Thank you for your kind words, your highness."
"Where is the list and prescription that can save the Princess of Qin and her flower spirit? As promised I will keep an eye on it through my journey to this realm." Yue Xuexia said.
The Primordial Poison Witch was delighted that the Moon Goddess is willing to keep her promise to them. Even though the seed that was given to her was a part of the original God King Golden Lotus Flower Spirit, flowers are standalone. It is reborn with countless versions of itself and it would no longer have connection to the original once it gains its own life and identity.
Tang Yuri had prepared the list and prescription to separate and heal souls. This is something she had learned from her clan. Though the immortal herbs needed are rare, these prescriptions are legit and tested by her clan in the Immortal World. She politely passed the written prescription to the Moon Goddess.
Yue Xuexia had as the Divine Doctor gained ancient knowledge about all kinds of cure and treatment. Though most of it is untested, she can still check if a prescription is real or not. After receiving the prescription from the Primordial Poison Witch, she read through it.
She said, "This seems correct. However, most of the herbs here can exist in this star. Except for these five: "Four Leaf Yin Water Lily, Red Sunflower Nectar, Blue Soul Grass, Hell Lycoris and Heavenly Grass Crystal."
"Don’t worry your highness. These things definitely exist in the Ancient Ruins," said the Primordial Poison Witch.
The Moon Goddess asked, "Ancient Ruins. Right, I came to this realm because of it. Will it be opening soon?"
"Yes. But there should be three more years before it opens, there is no need to hurry. Moreover, Huashen Realm Cultivators are able to enter freely and unhindered. Those at Jindan and Yuanying Realm can also go inside, but the danger is life threatening. They had to risk their lives for treasures. It would be better to have the protection of those in Huashen Realm when you enter inside. There are some Mythicial Beasts living in it. It is also full of treasures that fell from the Immortal World,"
said Tang Yuri.Yue Xuexia asked, "Is it not possible to enter the Immortal World through that world?"
"Unfortunately, no. It might be possible but it would be considered an intruder by the other world and you will be under the surveillance of that world’s Heavenly laws," the Primordial Poison Witch said.
"So you can enter and exist only from the same gates. How about if you know Space related Techniques?" The Moon Goddess asked,
Tang Yuri thought for a while and said, "No one had tried it but... Maybe it’s possible but the risk is so high no one tried to do so."
"I see." Yue Xuexia said. "Last thing. I wanted to know the situation in the Immortal World before you fell to this star."
"Ah, yes. Before my sister and I fell into a space crack, the immortal world was a bit in chaos. The Immortal Sun Empire had been destroyed by the Immortal Star Emperor and the Fairy Queen. They had also attacked most of the clans and sect forcing them to fall under their rule."
"Actually, our clan, the Tang Clan Sect, is a mid-grade sect and we are quite powerful. But our ancestor refused to bow down his head and we were under attack by those clans and sects that surrendered to their rule. Some dragons had betrayed their clan after the Immortal Sun Emperor had died. The phoenix race refuses to come out of their nest while the other Mythical race, some are exterminated and the others have surrendered."
"Among the big clans, the Immortal Moon Palace closed off their clan and refused all visitors. Their defensive formation was activated ever since the day the Immortal Star Emperor demanded... He wanted the corpse of the Immortal Moon Empress who was married to the Immortal Sun Emperor. However, the Moon Empress imploded herself leaving nothing for the Immortal Star Emperor to covet."
The Primordial Poison Witch had been watching the reaction of the Moon Goddess closely as she knew this about this Moon Empress former life. She is surprised to see Yue Xuexia remained cold after this news. What she didn’t know was that Yue Xuexia is completely different from the Moon Empress that she knew. That was Yue Xuehua while she is Yue Xuexia. They are completely different people yet the same at the same time.
Yue Xuexia will not react much about the past that she wasn’t directly involved with.
Tang Yuri continues her story, "The Immortal Star Emperor had kept watch over the Yue Clan. It was said he is waiting for the reincarnation of the former Moon Empress even now."
"How persistent and so stupid," Yue Xuexia commented. "I might be her reincarnation but she and I are different people. If he bothers me when I ascend I will fight him to death."
The Primordial Poison Witch trembles under the cold words of the Moon Goddess. She knew how much the change the Moon Goddess is in front of her from the Moon Empress she knew. The former Moon Empress is a lovestruck fool whose obsession is only the Immortal Sun Emperor. She is weak compared to the other Immortal Cultivators and her personality is lacking as well.
However, the one in front of her is full of elegance and majesty. As if meeting a dignified empress that stood above all kings and emperors. Full of confidence and presence once cannot be ignored. She had also seen her with the veil. This is a goddess much more pretty than the Fairy Queen who was famous for her beauty.
A confident woman is peerless. This is enough to say about this Moon Goddess before her right now.
