Chapter 1514 Celestial Sovereign Lands on the Moon
Pain?
Lin Qiye was stunned and immediately withdrew [Mortal Divine Domain].
As the pale golden domain disappeared, An Qingyu’s body finally relaxed. Beads of sweat slid down from his temples, and his face looked even more haggard than before.
“Pain? How could it be painful?” Lin Qiye’s eyes were filled with confusion.
[Mortal Divine Domain] had no offensive properties. Even if it couldn’t cure An Qingyu’s illness, it shouldn’t cause pain.
An Qingyu shook his head, “I don’t know, it just made my head hurt a lot…”
“Has your physical condition improved at all?”
“It doesn’t seem so.”
Seeing this, Lin Qiye sighed helplessly…
It appeared that [Mortal Divine Domain] was also ineffective… They had tried all possibilities, and he was completely out of options.
“We can only wait for the three Heavenly Venerable to return from the mist and ask them.” Lin Qiye’s gaze turned toward the horizon, wondering what the situation inside the mist was like now.
…
The Moon.
On the gray-white creviced surface, Michael’s statue-like figure stood in the center of a massive crater.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he raised his head to look into the distance.
The Earth, shrouded in gray mist, slowly moved across the lunar sky. The sun’s rays illuminated the edge of the Earth, and a touch of dawn light fell upon the barren ground. Three Taoist figures unhurriedly emerged from it.
Michael saw this scene and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
“All three Heavenly Venerable of Great Xia visiting the Moon at once is a first.” Michael’s hand gripping the golden holy sword did not loosen. He looked in the direction of the approaching Taoists, his deep voice resonating in the minds of the three Heavenly Venerable.
The Primordial Heavenly Venerable, walking at the front, smiled slightly, “We have come to discuss an important matter.”
Michael seemed to guess what it was about.
“Regarding Cthulhu?”
“Correct.” The Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable’s lips moved slightly, his voice entering Michael’s ears as if whispering something.
After listening, Michael fell into deep thought.
“It’s quite risky.”
“Indeed it is,” the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable paused. “But if we don’t take risks now, once [The Key to the Gate] and [Chaos] return, Earth will no longer be able to resist the Cthulhu system.”
“Why are you all so convinced that [The Key to the Gate] and [Chaos] will return?” Confusion appeared in Michael’s eyes. “[Chaos] has been missing for thousands of years and may not come back at all. [The Key to the Gate] has fallen into death slumber, making its return even more unlikely…
Why are you all in such a hurry?”
The three Heavenly Venerable exchanged glances and fell silent simultaneously.
After a long while, the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable finally spoke, saying something to Michael that immediately made his expression turn solemn.
“This matter is quite complex… Since we now have an opportunity to act against [The Black Goat], we should not miss it,” the Primordial Heavenly Venerable said seriously.
Michael pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
“Very well.”
Seeing Michael agree, the three Heavenly Venerable raised their hands in salutation. “In that case, we shall begin preparations.”
The three Heavenly Venerable turned and left, transforming into three streaks of light that cut through the dark void, disappearing into the misty Earth.
…
Several days later.
Clang——!!
Blades collided in the air, and two figures bounced away from each other. Lin Qiye stabilized himself in mid-air and landed on the hard training ground, his eyes fixed on Chen Han opposite him.
Chen Han, gripping a straight sword, also retreated several steps, his expression extremely serious.
After a brief pause, the two figures charged toward each other like lightning again. The straight swords collided rapidly in mid-air, with dazzling sparks continuously bursting forth.
“So powerful,” Li Zhenzhen and her two companions sat on chairs at the edge of the training ground, watching the brilliant sword play, and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Beside them, Fang Mo watched with rapt attention, afraid to miss even the slightest detail. Lu Baoyou gripped the handle of the straight sword at her waist, looking eager to try.
“Can such terrible damage be caused by sword techniques alone, without using any spiritual power or forbidden domains?”
“Sword techniques alone certainly wouldn’t be enough,” Fang Mo said. “Besides sword techniques, one needs almost divine physical capabilities. Otherwise, no matter how good your swordsmanship is, it’s just a mortal skill… Look at Master Qiye, each strike contains terrifying power. Even without a sword, one palm strike could shatter this entire courtyard.”
“Truly monstrous… No wonder Captain Chen has been on the defensive the whole time.”
“Captain Chen is already doing his best.”
“It’s nothing impressive,” Lu Baoyou disdainfully looked away, gazing at her own straight sword, and said firmly, “When I reach their age… I’ll be even stronger than them.”
Fang Mo ignored Lu Baoyou’s words and seemed to remember something. “By the way, is there any news from Su Zhe and Su Yuan?”
“Yes,” Li Zhenzhen smiled. “After receiving our invitation, Sister Su Yuan was very happy and said she would bring Su Zhe over immediately… As for Su Zhe, he seems to be very afraid of such high-risk work, but in the end, he still came with his sister.”
“That’s good… With them, we’ll have five people.”
Li Zhenzhen thought for a moment. “Why don’t we bring in Ding Chongfeng too? That would make six people.”
“Too weak, insufficient potential,” Lu Baoyou said quietly.
“…Although Lu Baoyou put it rather harshly, that is indeed the reason,” Fang Mo said helplessly. “The Su siblings each have their strengths, but Ding Chongfeng is more balanced, or rather… ordinary. If he joins rashly, it would put him in danger.”
“Let’s decide after the Su siblings arrive.”
While the three were talking, the match on the training ground had already been decided.
Lin Qiye twisted his body in mid-air, his straight sword trailing afterimages, striking Chen Han’s sword back at an extremely tricky angle. The terrifying force directly knocked the blade from his hand, sending it spinning dozens of times in the air before firmly embedding itself in the wall.
Chen Han looked at this scene and smiled somewhat bitterly. “You’re simply a monster… I always thought my sword skills were quite good, but I didn’t expect to lose so quickly.”
“It’s not about sword skills. Our sword techniques are actually quite similar in level. I’m just a bit faster and stronger.”
“Well, in any case, thank you for practicing with me.”
“No need to thank me. I’ve been itching for action during this vacation, and having an opponent is a good thing.”
Lin Qiye smiled and walked off the training ground with Chen Han, returning to the center of the courtyard.
“By the way, is there any news from headquarters about that monster from the other day?” Lin Qiye asked, as if suddenly remembering.
“Not yet,” Chen Han shook his head. “This creature isn’t in the Night Watchmen’s database, so they can only search through archival texts. However, since we’ve confirmed it’s a creature from the Cthulhu mythology and I’ve provided a sketch of its appearance, we should get results soon.”
