Chapter 493: 493: Sudden Breakthrough
Yue Xuexia’s sudden arrival startled the Primordial Poison Witch, Tang Yuri and the Qin Ancestor, Qin Yao. They didn’t expect her to suddenly appear here. As soon as she appeared before the two of them the Primordial Poison Witch lowered her head before the Moon Goddess, leaving the Qin Ancestor dumbfounded.
"Tang Yuri from the Tang Clan Sect greets the Immortal Moon Empress!"
Qin Ancestor was stunned to learn that the Moon Goddess’s identity seems to be more exalted than she had expected. Immortal Empress, this means she is an entitled empress to one of the great empires in that world beyond. Though she didn’t know much about the hierarchy of the power in that world, the memories she got from her grandparents gave her information about the Immortal World and the powers in it.
Unfortunately, this title didn’t seem to be liked by the young lady in front of them. They heard her reject the title with coldness in her tone.
Yue Xuexia said with an icy voice, "I may be the Moon Goddess but... I am not the Immortal Moon Empress. The person who was once called as such is already dead."
Tang Yuri felt the dangerous aura coming from the kind Moon Goddess, "This servant apologizes! Please do not be angry, benefactor!"
"The seed of the Golden Lotus cannot be returned. I have grown it into Jindan Realm and soon I will help it gain a human form. Once the little one signs a contract with me, he or she will no longer have anything to do with the Qin Clan. In exchange, I will help that couple to repair their souls. Tell me what you need. As the Divine Doctor, I can heal all injuries and illnesses but something to do with souls, I don’t dare touch it carelessly." Yue Xuexia said.
"Divine Doctor?" The Qin Ancestor was stunned as she didn’t expect that the goddess before her is also a Divine Doctor.
The existence of the Divine Doctor is special even for the divinities. It’s that sole being who can treat even the ailments the gods and goddesses suffered from.
The Primordial Poison Witch gestured to the Qin Ancestor not to speak another word and bow in respect towards Yue Xuexia.
"Exalted Moon Goddess, I know a way to repair one’s soul. I will have the needed materials and ingredients needed for it listed. Thank you for your benevolence." The Primordial Poison Witch said.
Yue Xuexia stared at Tang Yuri and felt that this Primordial Poison Witch looks a bit like somebody. However, she is a bit unsure and doesn’t know if she is seeing things.
She said before cancelling her clone, "Find me after you finished giving away your legacy."
The Moon Goddess disappeared on the spot and made the two who were left behind think that this figure of her was nothing but a clone that is close to a shadow instead.
The Qin Ancestor said, "That is just a clone?"
"We are within the range of her reach. There is no need to appear before us in flesh. Next time do not speak carelessly before the Moon Goddess. Those who are surnamed Yue are from Regal Clans in the Immortal World. When I called her an empress, I meant it literally. She is a reincarnated immortal empress," The Primordial Poison Witch, Tang Yuri, said.
This identity of the Moon Goddess left the Qin Ancestor speechless. She would have never expected to see a real immortal in flesh. Moreover, she’s a reincarnated Immortal empress from the Immortal World. Those are even more powerful than her own grandparents. There is also the fact that she is also this era’s Divine Doctor.
Tang Yuri teaches Qin Yao about poison while waiting for her disciples to finish digesting the information she had passed to them. It took a few hours before the Holy Witch Suzi and Elder Susan had opened their eyes. The first one to do so was Suzi, who yawns as if she can fall asleep anytime now.
Yawns~
"Master~ how come it’s so hard to learn medicine? I am lazy so I don’t know if I have learned it well," the Holy Witch Suzi said.
The Primordial Poison Witch, Tang Yuri said, "If I have taught you poison instead I am afraid that you might poison yourself to death."
"I don’t think I... Hm~ well maybe needles are better than poisons," said the Holy Witch Suzi.
The Primordial Poison Witch and the Qin Ancestor looked at this naive witch with worried looks. How can needles and poison be compared? Neither of the two is a better choice.
All of the sudden a commotion from the side of the Elder Susan had caught their attention. They can also hear the sound of thunder coming from aboveground.
Rumbles~
"Oh my god! Is Shijie about to break through? But we are underground!" Exclaimed the Holy Witch Suzi.
The shaking of the underground walls intensified the longer they stay where they are. However, how can they bring Susan aboveground without disturbing her enlightenment.
The Qin Ancestor said, "If she doesn’t wake up, we will be buried alive!"
"But Shijie hasn’t finished her enlightenment yet!" The Holy Witch Suzi said.
The Primordial Poison Witch was thinking of a way to solve the problem about their current situation. She had thought of ways however, none of the items were with her.
Tang Yuri cursed, "If I knew this would happen I would have stocked some teleportation talisman in this abode! No choice, we can only wake her up."
Sigh~
"You guys are truly a source of headache," a mellow yet cold voice lingers near their ears and they know that the one who has spoken is none other than Yue Xuexia.
The holy witch, Suzi, murmured in surprise, "The Moon Goddess?"
With a blind eye, they were instantly teleported aboveground and no longer need to worry about being buried alive when the lightning strikes. They saw a gorgeous fairy in red robes flying above the sky staring at the dark clouds above her territory.
"What are you guys waiting for? Do you want to get struck by the heavenly lightning?" Yue Xuexia said to the two ladies who can definitely not block a heavenly calamity.
One is a soul that can disappear with one strike of lightning and the other two are goddesses who just learned what their domain is. Plus, they still don’t have perfect control over their domains. Elder Susan’s breakthrough to the Huashen Realm was not unexpected.
In the first place, she had longed to reach the peak of Nascent Soul Realm. The only reason Susan is holding back her cultivation was because she still hasn’t found the legacy left behind by the Primordial Poison Witch which is also her master. Now that not only her master’s soul remains, the legacy was fully digested by her as well. It’s no wonder that she let go her control over her cultivation causing this situation where she had to break through to another realm.
Seeing the extent of the Heavenly Punishment waiting for her eldest disciple’s breakthrough made her look amazed. For her tribulation to be this large meant Susan had been holding back her breakthrough for a very long time that the heavens felt angered by her actions. To avoid getting involved and making things worse, the three of them needed to get out of range of this heavenly tribulation.
The primordial poison witch said, "We need to get out of range. Our presence might affect the strength of the heavenly lightning your Shijie had to bear."
With her words, the two ladies immediately sprinted away from the range of the heavenly tribulation while the Primordial Poison Witch had to fly away to avoid getting struck by lightning as well. When they had reached the boundaries which are out of range of those dark clouds, they saw two cubs holding a golden lotus flower and the other holding a liger cub. There is also an adult Liger watching over them.
"Hello, Aunties~. Did you come to watch as well?" The sentient snow lotus flower spirit, Yue Huaxue said.
The sentient water lotus flower spirit, Yue Huashui, said, "Mom said this far is okay to watch. Do you want to sit with us?"
There is also Su Gin’er and Princess Qin Yaoyun who just returned after buying some drinks and snacks for the cubs in the market. They hurriedly returned carrying something with them. They were surprised to see the Qin Ancestor, Holy Witch Suzi back and the soul state of the Primordial Poison Witch shocked them.
Su Gin’er immediately hid behind Princess Qin after screaming, "AH! Ghost! Fudge! How can there be one in the middle of the day!!?"
"Child, don’t be rude. She is your grandmaster. Your grandmother and my master," said the Holy Witch Suzi.
The Primordial Poison Witch, Tang Yuri stares at the two young ladies in front of her. One possessed the bloodline of her eldest disciple and the other was...
Tang Yuri looked at Princess Qin and asked, "I can feel the presence of the God King Golden Lotus in you? Child, who are you?"
"Senior. This is my descendant. Someone from the Qin Family. Her name is Qin Yaoyun," the Qin Ancestor said.
The Primordial Poison Witch looked at the Princess of Qin with a shock on her face and said, "It is you! You’ve also reincarnated after all!"
