Chapter 1218: Moon’s Reflection

As the bronze vessel soared deeper into the mountain range, everyone understood how monstrous it was.

A golden liquid flowed like lava and formed various images - trigrams, divine stallions, battlefields, heavenly generals, and cosmos. The majestic auras instilled fear into the group.

“Damn, a grand saint’s formation, just a tiny corner but not something we can handle, leave now!” The turtle turned pale.

Alas, the vessel had already entered.

Everyone closed their eyes and felt as if they were entering hell itself. The power of a grand saint suffocated and made their soul nearly leave their body.

Feiyun heaved a sigh of relief and said: “Just as I suspected, the vessel can enter.”

“Because it’s just a broken corner, the real thing might have left actual damage.” The goddess said.

Everyone looked back and saw the powerful beasts being blocked outside. They roared but didn’t dare to enter.

The vessel flew through strange dimensions - a primal chaos, the graves of an emperor stallion and a massive skeleton...

This boundless area was immensely perilous. Feiyun would have died in a single step despite being at the pseudo level.

They flew for a long time before stopping at the base of a mountain. He put away the vessel and said: “We made it through and shall be rewarded. This mountain is special and might have what we’re looking for.”

The turtle jumped on a boulder to observe the scenery: “Buddhist essence stretching for thousands of miles just like an ocean. I can buy a territory with this.”

“Don’t be crazy, this is the fuel of the formation. If we mess up the flow, we’re finished.” Feiyun said.

“Grandpa, Uncle, look at what I got, a big piece of bronze.” The fruit pulled up something from the ground.

Feiyun and the goddess came over, becoming excited after taking a good look.

It was another Trinity Cauldron. Feiyun pulled it up, showing its size at eighty meters tall. It was covered in dirt and rust.

“Boom!” He struck the cauldron to clean it up.

“Whoosh!” It became resplendent with flames for a second before shrinking to the size of a cup, shimmering and decorated with exquisite carvings.

“For you.” He gave it to the goddess without any hesitation.

“Your group found it so it's yours.” The goddess stared at him like a proud swan.

“You came for the cauldron, I’m only here for my physique. You can’t return to the queen empty-handed.” He said.

“You don’t need it?” She asked.

“You lent the mud ear so I am giving this to you. You pat my back, I pat yours. That’s how friends should interact.” He smiled.

She smiled back, looking like a goddess from above and bringing spring back to the world. He thought that very few men in this world could resist her charm.

“Friends? You don’t even know my name, we are just strangers.” She said.

He hurriedly asked: “May I ask for your name?”

“Xiyue. You are the first to know my name.” She said. [1]

“It’s a beautiful name, evoking the image of a moon shining the tides and a beauty accompanied by the wind.” He praised.

“I prefer the image of the moon’s reflection in the water.” She said.

“How so?” He asked.

“The tides are strong during the day, raging and breaking dams just like a disaster but the night tides are gentle, just enough to break the reflection of the moon.” She said before growing a pair of wings and flying up the mountain.

“What the hell is she saying?” Feiyun held the cauldron while staring in her direction.

She didn’t bother looking back so he awkwardly rubbed his nose. He thought she was interested in him but a female phoenix was just as confusing as a female human.

‘Seems like I’m still too narcissistic, I better fix this bad trait.’ He said.

“Her intent is simple, it is predicated on the characters. The turtle said, Xi and Yue, night tides destroying the moon, she’s saying that with her presence, Dongfang Yingyue is no more.” The turtle said.

“I don’t think it’s that simple. Aquamoon Deity also has Yue in her name, she’s aiming for the deity.” The fruit disagreed.

“Please, what the hell does a brat like you know? With that logic, Long Cangyue has Yue too in her name.” The turtle said.

“Don’t underestimate my sixth sense, I know she’s here for the deity and also to insinuate something to Uncle. Maybe she knows something about his dreams where Shui Yueting killed him.” The fruit said.

“Those were just dreams, they were proven false already.” The turtle said.

The two argued endlessly over a name as if they had nothing better to do.

Feiyun ignored them and caught up to the goddess: “Miss Xiyue, there’s something I still don’t understand. Why did you give me the ear when we were strangers?”

“Borrow for a century, not give.” She said while dissecting the phantom crab.

“Still, such a high level of treasure.” Feiyun said.

“Your talent is impeccable and you have ties to our race. Helping you cultivate is fostering a connection, perhaps you will be able to help us in the incoming calamity.” She said.

“You know about the calamity?” He asked.

“Do you think the four grand demon races and the immemorial ones know nothing about the past? It’s just that they do not want to reveal the truth lest causing widespread panic. Knowledge of the invaders will create anxiety and nervousness, chaos will ensue before the calamity. Only a brat like you dares to talk about it recklessly as if wanting to be killed by them early.” She said.

He didn’t expect this - the true masters already knew of this.

“No wonder the golden crows and dragons didn’t maneuver against Aquamoon Deity. They knew the dead saints were actually invaders.” He said.

“We do not need to worry about this. As we participate in our rising star conference, the supreme masters will be dealing with the hidden invaders.” She said.

“So that’s the true goal of the supreme conference?” He asked.

“Your big mouth helped this time, causing a few of the hidden invaders to take action. A supreme noticed this and has worked with others to build a net to catch them. The only thing we need to focus on is to grow stronger, that’s the only way to survive in the future.” She said.

Feiyun found himself having underestimated the saints. It seemed they were already prepared.

“This phantom crab had thirty-six jewels, so I can cultivate thirty-six bones.” The goddess said while the jewels floated above her palm in a circular formation.
