246: Chapter 245: Moon Palace = Taboo?

(Happy New Year) 246: Chapter 245: Moon Palace = Taboo?

(Happy New Year) Clearly, Changsheng Heavenly Venerate was keen on recruiting Ye Xuan, since having a Taiyi Mystic Immortal in the Heavenly Court was not a common occurrence, and having Ye Xuan join the Chan Sect was a delightful prospect for him.

Regrettably, where would Ye Xuan join any Chan Sect?

He had just entered the Earth Immortal Realm and had not fully understood the situation there, so even if he were to join a Daoist lineage, it would require deep contemplation.

Ye Xuan deliberately showed a troubled expression, which instantly brought Changsheng Heavenly Venerate back to his senses, clearly realizing he had been somewhat rash.

The two were not very familiar with each other yet; how could such a significant decision be made hastily?

“Do not blame me, Daoist friend, it was my carelessness, but you may consider it thoroughly.”

At this point, Changsheng Heavenly Venerate, wearing a self-satisfied expression, said, “You might not fully understand the current Three Realms.

Look at Erlang, the Manifested True Monarch, and Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars Sea Meeting, they are both third-generation disciples of my Chan Sect.

If you join the Chan lineage, your future achievements will surely not be inferior to these two junior brothers.”

Ye Xuan did not need Changsheng Heavenly Venerate to elaborate, as he knew that the other party spoke the truth.

The Three Realms were now majorly influenced by the Buddhist Sect and the Chan Sect, while the Jie Sect had already declined after the war for godhood.

As for the various Demon Kings in the Earth Immortal Realm, they all had profound connections with both the Buddhist and Taoist lineages, but that is not detailed here.

The two sat down and discussed the Dao, no longer mentioning the matter of Daoist lineages.

From Taoist cultivation to the Eternal Heavenly Dao, both expressed their opinions liberally, feeling as though they had met each other too late in life.

Regardless of what Daoist Skills Changsheng Heavenly Venerate proposed, they could all be verified against Ye Xuan’s knowledge, which further convinced Changsheng Immortal Venerable that Ye Xuan was undoubtedly an ancient Golden Immortal, otherwise, how could he discuss the Dao with him for so long.

However, what Changsheng Heavenly Venerate did not know was that Ye Xuan cultivated the Undying Immortal Scripture, a technique that had existed since the Sky Opening; discussing these matters with him, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, was effortless.

While discussing the Dao, Changsheng Heavenly Venerate also subtly introduced the power of the Chan Sect, trying his best to get Ye Xuan to join his lineage, but Ye Xuan skillfully evaded committing to anything directly.

“Moon Palace, Guanghan Fairy?”

At some point, Ye Xuan steered the topic toward the Guanghan Fairy, which caused Changsheng Immortal Venerable to pause, a trace of infatuation fleeting across his eyes, after which he quickly recovered and smiled ingratiatingly to disguise his lapse.

“Guanghan Fairy resides alone in the Moon Palace.

Aside from the Peach Banquet and the Ginsengfruit Gathering held by the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, I have seen her twice from afar.

After endless eons, it’s been impossible to meet again.”

“Daoist friend, why do you inquire about this?” asked Changsheng Heavenly Venerate with curiosity.

Ye Xuan, with a light and breezy demeanor, slightly smiled and said, “I have heard that the Guanghan Fairy is the number one fairy in the Three Realms, but I have never seen her, so naturally, I am curious.”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s explanation, Changsheng Heavenly Venerate slowly nodded, then advised, “Daoist friend, heed my words, it’s better if you do not meet the Guanghan Fairy, and in the future, when passing by the Moon Palace, it’s best to detour.”

“Oh?”

Ye Xuan’s eyes sharpened, and he smiled slightly, “What do you mean by that, Daoist friend?

Could the Guanghan Fairy actually devour people?”

Changsheng Heavenly Venerate shook his head and gave a bitter smile, “The beauty of Guanghan Fairy is irresistible.

Although she cannot devour people, many have harbored affection for her.”

“Look at the Jade Emperor, the three realms’ supreme, whose cultivation is unfathomably profound; he has been infatuated with her for countless eons.

Then there’s Erlang, the Manifested True Monarch, who on every centennial full moon night, brings myriad flowers to the Moon Palace.

There are also many powerful individuals with great divine skills who think of Guanghan Fairy day and night yet cannot obtain her.”

“Ten thousand years ago, Yuan Mo was also a Taiyi Golden Immortal, a being who once caused chaos throughout the Three Realms.

Hearing of Guanghan Fairy’s beauty, he personally went to the Moon Palace.

Guess what the outcome was?” Changsheng Heavenly Venerate said with a rueful shake of his head.

“How did it go?” Ye Xuan’s eyes slightly narrowed as he spoke.

“That Yuan Mo was too arrogant; he thought he could roam freely through the Three Realms and that the Immortals of the Heavenly Court could do nothing against him.

In reality, he didn’t know that it was because the truly Great Divine Power wielders disdained to suppress him.

But his stepping into the Moon Palace completely enraged these beings.”

Changsheng Heavenly Venerate continued, his eyes becoming somewhat distant, “That day, the weather drastically changed at the Guan River Mouth.

Yang Jian, the first War God of the Three Realms, wielding the Three-pointed Two-bladed Saber and using the Dharma Manifestation Heaven and Earth, surged from the Earth Immortal Realm into the Thirty-Three Heavens, and straight into the Moon Palace.

With just one slash, he hurled Yuan Mo from Heaven and chased him for hundreds of millions of miles, almost scattering his soul and killing him.”

“This Yuan Mo scurried away in disgrace; although he escaped from Yang Jian, some Immortals seized the opportunity when Yuan Mo was severely injured to seal him in the Reverse Passage, leading to the so-called Ancient Great Battle.”

“So, as a Daoist, I advise you, if you ever pass by the Moon Palace, make sure to detour.

If you provoke certain individuals, even if you join my Chan Sect, no one can save you.”

Changsheng Heavenly Venerate intoned his words, also subtly reminding Ye Xuan not to entertain any thoughts about Guanghan Fairy, as the cost was something Ye Xuan simply could not afford.

Regrettably, Ye Xuan’s face showed no change to the warning from Changsheng Heavenly Venerate, leaving one clueless as to what he was thinking.

The Moon Palace, Ye Xuan had to go, and the sooner, the better, not only to escort the Moon God but also to use Guanghan Fairy to accomplish some of his own desires.

After chatting idly for half a day more, Ye Xuan rose to take his leave; it wasn’t until he left the Changsheng Immortal Palace that the smile faded from Changsheng Heavenly Venerate’s face.

He watched Ye Xuan’s departing figure, a thoughtful expression crossing his eyes.

“This Daoist is too deeply cunning, definitely not an easy rival,” murmured Changsheng Heavenly Venerate.

…

Having left the Changsheng Immortal Palace, Ye Xuan rode the clouds away, unaware that an Immortal Official had already informed the Jade Emperor of his movements; evidently, his every word and action were under the Jade Emperor’s surveillance.

Inside Luanyun Palace!

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, his expression as dark as water, and a hint of blood light flickered as his eyes opened and shut.

From Changsheng Heavenly Venerate, Ye Xuan had gathered much useful information, especially about Guanghan Fairy, clearly a taboo of the Three Realms; without tremendous capability, provoking her could lead to unimaginable calamity.

“Ha!”

Suddenly, a cold smile curled at Ye Xuan’s lips, his voice murmuring, “Is she a beauty that brings disaster, or is it that beauty itself is doomed?”

“Let me, Ye Xuan, see for myself just how charismatic this legendary Guanghan Fairy really is.”

Hum!

Ye Xuan formed hand seals, the Taiyi Immortal Light enveloping his body, a Forbidden Secret Technique also being cast by him.

“Primordial Spirit Void!”

Four simple words echoed through Luanyun Palace as Ye Xuan merged into the void, his presence shrinking to an extremity before he abruptly vanished from Luanyun Palace, heading straight for the forbidden area of the Heavenly Court, the Moon Palace, where Guanghan Fairy resided alone.
