NOVPUB"..." Megami remained silent during the journey. Many things happened in the lower world, and Miko was a bit troubled by it.
Her true self, the real Elysia, was also involved in a deal to save the Earth once again.
However, the one that concerned her the most was her current companions. The Agent of the White Realm and the Mystic Stellar Saintess tried to test and appraise her. They created several occasions where she had to use her divine power.
Then the matter of Zi Xuan at Heavenly Moon Palace...
"We’ve almost arrived at Moon Palace’s territory." Mytic announced their arrival. She controlled her flying artifact to land.
"..." Zi Xuan took a deep breath as she stared at the familiar ground of Moon Palace.
The white-blue floating islands awaited in front, the bright moon shone brightly in the sky, the fertile land gleamed on the ground, and the lush blue-moon vegetations all around.
Her old master once said that she had the potential to become the top-ranked saintess in all Heavens one day, but she was ruined before she could soar high.
It had been more than a millennium, and she had already been removed from Moon Palace, forgotten by everyone. Regardless, she still had to seek the truth and sought justice. Her sickness and her clan’s demise were strange.
Zi Xuan turned around and glanced at the peerless Supreme Goddess by her side. She received the strongest possible backer and master despite her misfortune. Even though Megami was only Goddess Ely’s avatar clone, it was more than enough to accompany her around the entire Heavens freely.
"Let’s visit the Heavenly Moon Palace under the Stellar Mystic Sacred Ground name. Mytic, please lead the way." Megami ushered Mytic to lead the way.
"My lady, before the Heavenly Palace of the 8th Heaven, it’s just the Moon Palace. Why don’t we use the Heavenly Palace token? Even though the Moon Sovereign is not very friendly with the Lord of Heaven, they won’t dare to be disrespectful before us." Yuna expressed her concern.
"We don’t have any particular business. I want to accompany Zi Xuan to seek the truth." Megami shook her head.
"Zi Xuan, thanks, master." Zi Xuan grasped her fist and bowed.
"Alright. Let’s move. Mytic also looks a bit impatient." Megami smiled faintly.
"Allow me to lead the way." Mytic bowed slightly, then flew forward with a bit of nervousness.
Everyone in Heavenly Palace said the Supreme Goddess could peer deep into one’s soul to discover their deepest secrets. So, it still made her a bit nervous when the Supreme Goddess looked into her eyes. She couldn’t help wondering what the Supreme Goddess had discovered about her.
Megami, Zi Xuan, and Yuna immediately flew away.
On the short trip to the Moon Palace, Yuna stole several glances to observe the Supreme Goddess more closely.
She could sense nothing from this peak-level divinity. The Supreme Goddess could fly without emitting any aura. It was not the Goddess flying in the sky, but the sky’s elements carrying the Goddess to fly.
’My Lord, why do you want me to test Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin? There is indeed something a bit odd, but where is the problem if it was still her?’ Yuna secretly contacted her Lord because she was worried about many things.
’I feel that she is not her true self. She might be a clone, and I need to be sure. Make her use her divinities and measure her depth, but don’t offend her.’ He-Dao felt a bit complicated, but he had to confirm it.
’Would there be a difference if it was the real Supreme Goddess or her clone? You were also cautious with her plushie avatar...’ Yuna couldn’t help but assume.
’Nothing significant. We need to discover her real purpose too. I’m sure she ascended to the Divine World not just to tour the Heavens and inspect the Nirvana Seal.’ He-Dao explained a little.
’Understood.’ Yuna closed her private telepathic channel. She then used a veil to copy Goddess Ely’s dress code but in white.
A few moments later, a senior disciple happened to pass by. He came from the Moon Palace and noticed an acquaintance.
He controlled his flying sword to draw closer to the group of beauties and greeted his acquaintance. "Oh-o~ Isn’t this Saintess Mytic? What honor do we have to have you visit Heavenly Moon Palace so suddenly?"
"Oh, it’s a coincidence to meet you here, Senior Jiang. I came to accompany my junior sister for sightseeing. We’ve visited many places and wished to visit the Heavenly Moon Palace today. May I know where Senior Jiang is going?" Mytic responded politely.
But she immediately put on a cute expression, thinking this senior could be helpful as a local guide.
"Haha, nothing much. I just want to get some fresh air. If Saintess Mytic wants to visit Heavenly Moon Palace, then our door is always open for you. Allow me to guide you." Senior Jiang didn’t even need to consider it. He prioritized the beauty favor, setting aside his ongoing task with a laugh.
He then looked aside, observing the nearby little beauty and the two veiled beauties. The former was clearly the junior sister, and the latter was probably just the servants. He ignored the veiled servants and turned his attention to the little beauty. "You must be Saintess Mytic’s junior sister. My name is Jiang Chen. You can call me Senior Jiang."
"Pleased to meet you, Senior Jiang. I’m Xuan’er." Zi Xuan introduced herself as if it was their first meeting. She guessed it right. She had already forgotten.
"Haha, no worry, no worry. Saintess Mytic and I have some chemistry. I’ll ensure your visit is not disturbed by anyone. Allow me to lead the way." Senior Jiang flew back toward his sect, taking his role as a guide.
"His gaze... he regarded us as Mytic’s servants, right?" Yuna sighed and glanced at Goddess Ely.
"Fufu~" Megami covered her mouth with a folding fan.
A few moments later, they arrived at the Moon Palace and took a little tour for sightseeing.
Zi Xuan could see almost no difference from the Moon Palace in her memories, but there were many new facilities and floating islands.
While the Senior Jiang spouted many pleasantries to impress Saintess Mytic, a pretty senior sister on a sparkling moon lotus flew past them from the sky.
"She is our proud saintess, Saintess Qin. Although she is slightly younger, she is more or less on the same level as you, Saintess Mytic." Senior Jiang looked up and pointed at his sect’s proud saintess.
"Oh, you want to say I’m old, Senior Jiang? Saintess Qin is a fine young lady, but she’s still far from being a Heavenly Immortal." Mytic felt a bit offended by it. It was truly rude to indirectly mention a lady’s age, let alone compare it to the other.
"Ahaha... that’s not what I meant to say." Senior Jiang scratched his head awkwardly.
"Saintess Qin?" Zi Xuan frowned as she looked up at the Saintess Qin’s back.
That girl was one of the saintess candidates in her generation. So, after her downfall, that girl gained the official title of the Moon Saintess.
"Senior Jiang, is it possible for us to visit one of the sacred islands?" Zi Xuan asked like a curious little girl, knowing the guide guy was so weak towards the beauty’s favor.
"Haha, that wouldn’t be possible if it were someone else, but I’m a core disciple. Depending on which sacred island you want to visit, I can even take you to the island master’s abode to get acquainted with the elders." Senior Jiang puffed his chest proudly. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
"Then, I wish to visit that floating island. That island looks pretty and sparkles like the moon. I want to get acquainted with that sparkling island’s master." Zi Xuan pointed in a particular direction.
Senior Jiang looked in the appointed direction and broke out in a cold sweat. "This..."
"Can I?" Zi Xuan asked with a sparkling gaze.
The little girl’s expression truly hit hard in Senior Jiang’s heart. Not to mention, it was Saintess Mytic’s junior sister. He threw aside the consequences and answered loudly. "Leave it to me! That is Great Elder Xia’s island, but I can take you there. However, there are special rules there. So, don’t wander around as you please."
"Fufu, you are reliable, Senior Jiang." Mytic covered her mouth gracefully.
"Considering our sect’s good relations, it is an easy matter to obtain permission." Senior Jiang resolved his determination and led the way to the sparkling floating island.
However, Megami didn’t immediately follow. She stared at the Moon Saintess in the distance. That girl landed at one of the floating islands near the palace.
Even though that girl could no longer be seen, Megami’s train of thought went elsewhere. That girl held a thick bad karma, unfit for the Moon Saintess title...
Yuna waited silently, wondering what the Supreme Goddess was thinking.
’Yuna, shouldn’t an official saint and saintess remain virgins and keep their spiritual purity unstained?’ Megami sent a telepathic message to Yuna before flying away following Zi Xuan.
’Yes, that is what it should be, my lady. They are also prohibited from being involved in any romantic relationship before reaching 14th Rank.’ Yuna nodded in reply.
’Then, why has the Moon Saintess lost her virgin blood qi? Her spiritual energy is strange. Her karma is also terrible. What did she ever do?’ Megami asked in wonder.
’E-eh!? Are you sure? This... this could get a bit messy, my lady.’ Yuna widened her eyes in shock.
She didn’t expect Goddess Ely could discern the unexpected secret with just a glance. If that information was accurate, the Moon Palace’s reputation would be affected because the Moon Saintess was actually breaking the rules and norms.
’Let her be for now.’ Megami raised her hand.
’Understood.’ Yuna nodded in understanding.
As soon as they landed on the sparkling floating island, Zi Xuan secretly re-activated her life token, sending her intention clear to her old master.
An old lady in the mountain peak opened her eyes from her meditation. She was shocked because her long-dead disciple’s life token glowed again. "You, you’re still alive, Xuan’er?"
She spoke nothing more and immediately ordered her direct disciples via telepathy to pick up someone outside the gate.
