Pure Moon Island Successor
Although the Myriad Gods Ridge has been under strict security for the past six months, Myriad Gods City remains unaffected. As a giant city surrounding the main peak of Myriad Gods Ridge, Myriad Gods City has always been bustling and lively.
Every day, all sorts of people come and go, making Myriad Gods City almost the most prosperous city in Jinghai.
On this day, a painted boat suddenly sailed into Myriad Gods City.
This painted boat is huge and exquisite, with a palace built on it. The palace is surrounded by clouds and mist, making it look like a celestial boat slowly sailing from a fairyland.
The pleasure boat passed directly through the city gates of Myriad Gods City without anyone stopping it. A crescent moon symbol in the center of the boat was very conspicuous.
"Huh? Who is this person, actually crossing the city gate?"
Although flying is not prohibited in Myriad Gods City, one is not allowed to cross the city walls directly when entering or leaving the city. One must go through the city gates, be checked by the guards, and pay the entrance fee; otherwise, the purpose of the city walls would be lost.
But this pleasure boat completely ignored this rule, and the guards of Myriad Gods City did not stop it.
"You don't know this, it's an envoy from Pure Moon Island. Pure Moon Island is a major sect with comparable strength to Myriad Gods Ridge. It's just entering a city on the outskirts of Myriad Gods Ridge, so of course they don't need to be checked by guards."
The fact that Pure Moon Island was visiting Myriad Gods Ridge was no secret. They had sent a visiting invitation several days in advance, and Myriad Gods Ridge had already begun preparations to welcome them, so naturally, some people knew about it.
"It's said that a Vice Island Master has come this time, along with Pure Moon Island Successor, who will be the next island lord!"
"Oh? The Pure Moon Island Successor has also arrived?"
Upon hearing the title of "Pure Moon Island Successor," many people's hearts stirred.
Pure Moon Island renowned throughout Jinghai, especially among young men. It's considered a sacred place because Pure Moon Island only accepts female disciples. These disciples are known for their exceptional talent, and the beautiful Heavenly Proud Daughter are no exception. This makes Pure Moon Island a dream paradise for many men. Marrying a female disciple from Pure Moon Island is considered a blessing earned through countless lifetimes.
If ordinary female disciples of Pure Moon Island are already so sought after, imagine how much more so the Pure Moon Island Successor!
What people talk about is that, for the past hundreds of thousands of years, every generation of Pure Moon Island Successor has had ambiguous relationships with some prodigies during their teenage years. Many of these prodigies come from outside Jinghai and are truly outstanding individuals, beings that some martial artists in Jinghai can only look up to in awe.
At this moment, people saw that the painted boat had already flown across the sky above Myriad Gods City, heading straight for the main peak of Myriad Gods Ridge.
At the very top of the painted boat, there is an elegant boudoir. Inside, there is a thick carpet of celestial silk, and the tables, chairs, and soft couches are all made of divine fragrant wood, exquisitely crafted and believed to have a soul-nourishing effect.
On this soft couch, a young girl of about sixteen or seventeen lay reclining. She wore a light, thin gauze dress, revealing her arms and half of her calves. Her skin was so delicate it seemed to break at a touch. Every movement she made was graceful and elegant, yet she naturally exuded a languid charm that made people involuntarily infatuated with her.
In front of this young woman was a woman who looked like an ordinary person in her thirties. She was plump, graceful, and charming.
"Why did you bring me along when Myriad Gods Ridge Martial Aunt Ping? I don't really like this kind of thing. I'd rather use this time to cultivate properly."
The young woman spoke softly, her voice like the lingering sound of a zither, delicate and melodious. This woman was Jingyue Sha, the current successor of Pure Moon Island. Forty years ago, Jingyue Sha was designated as the Pure Moon Island Successor. She received personal guidance from the Supreme Elder of Pure Moon Island and went on a journey twenty years ago. This journey lasted for eighteen years.
Two years ago, she returned to Pure Moon Island and her cultivation had made great progress. Not only was she unmatched among her peers, but even some of the older generation of Outer Elder dared not say they could defeat her.
Early success and exceptional talent gave her great confidence, and she certainly had reason to be proud.
The young woman smiled and said, "This was instructed by the Supreme Elder. This Tiannan Peak Summit should gather many outstanding talents. You can get to know them then, and perhaps you can find someone you like."
Hearing the young woman joking about her, Jingyue Sha curled her lip. She wasn't interested in it at all. "Uncle-Master, I, Jingyue Sha, don't need Dao Companion, much less rely on a man. If I were to take over the position of island lord, I could make Pure Moon Island flourish and prosper on my own."
Jingyue Sha's ambition is higher than the heavens; how could she possibly be willing to depend on a man?
The young woman continued to smile, saying nothing more. Jingyue Sha was indeed outstanding, and even the Supreme Elder praised Jingyue Sha highly. Perhaps she could truly live up to her words.
"We're almost at the summit of Myriad Gods Ridge and about to meet the Wanshen Sect Leader. Please be humble in front of him and don't be impolite; after all, we are guests."
"Knew."
Jingyue Sha spoke absentmindedly, her fair, jade-like legs swaying gently as she spoke, dazzlingly white.
Jingyue Sha had absolutely no interest in meeting the leader of the Myriad Gods Sect. Her impression of the Myriad Gods Ridge was that it accepted any kind of disciple.
It is said that Myriad Gods Ridge opens its gates every three days to hold a large-scale assessment for new disciples.
What does three days mean? They take in over a hundred disciples a year, but Pure Moon Island only takes in disciples once every few years.
As a super sect, accepting disciples is like accepting cabbages. As a result, countless Tom, Dick, and Harry have been taken in by the entire Myriad Gods Ridge. There are countless mediocre disciples with extremely low talent and weak foundations. This is in stark contrast to Pure Moon Island, which has only a few thousand members in total and strives for excellence in every disciple it takes in.
For this reason, Jingyue Sha looked down on Myriad Gods Ridge. In her opinion, if Myriad Gods Ridge continued down this path, it would inevitably decline and eventually lose its geniuses and its position as a top power in Jinghai.
The pleasure boat was extremely fast; while she was talking with her Martial Aunt Ping, it had already landed in the square in front of the Jade Emperor Palace.
Jingyue Sha's body floated up and landed on the square as lightly as a ribbon of silk.
Her toes didn't actually touch the ground; they were slightly suspended, completely untouched by dust.
At this moment, a group of elders and their Personal Disciple from the Myriad Gods Ridge were already standing in the Jade Emperor Palace.
Upon seeing Jingyue Sha, many of the Personal Disciple present were startled. Even though they were used to seeing stunning beauties, they couldn't help but be attracted to Jingyue Sha. This was not only because of her appearance, but more importantly because of her temperament and her understated elegance.
"Fairy Ping, it's a pleasure to meet you."
The leading elder, surnamed Sun, was one of the main elders in charge of managing the miscellaneous affairs of Myriad Gods Ridge during the half-year that Yi Yun had been in seclusion.
"This must be Elder Sun. Thank you all for welcoming him."
Jingyue Ping returned the greeting, saying that they were actually strangers. Pure Moon Island and Myriad Gods Ridge rarely interacted, but before this visit, they had communicated telepathically and recognized each other from the fluctuations of each other's spiritual energy.
"You're too kind, Fairy Ping. The Sect Leader is waiting for you both at the Jade Emperor Palace."
After Elder Sun finished speaking, he gestured for them to proceed and began to lead the way.
Jingyue Ping chatted and laughed with Elder Sun while following at a leisurely pace. As for Jingyue Sha, she glanced at the Personal Disciple of Myriad Gods Ridge.
She had extremely high standards, and it was difficult for ordinary geniuses to catch her eye. After looking at them, Jingyue Sha shook her head slightly. In recent years, Myriad Gods Ridge had indeed been recruiting disciples indiscriminately, which had led to a decline in the level of their Personal Disciple. Not to mention comparing them to herself, even if you randomly picked one of the core disciples of Pure Moon Island in this generation, they could stand out among all these people.
Such a group of people naturally did not arouse her interest, so she stopped looking at them. At this time, she had already reached the outside of the main hall of the Jade Emperor Palace. The hall door was open, and Elder Sun stopped outside the door.
He then gestured for them to enter and said, "Please, ladies, enter."
"Oh? Elder Sun isn't coming in with us?" Jingyue Ping was a little surprised. She had originally thought that Elder Sun should accompany her throughout the meeting.
Hearing Jingyue Ping's words, Elder Sun an awkward smile, "I won't go in. The sect leader usually finds us old folks an eyesore, so I try my best not to bother him. I won't go in and get in the way this time either. If you have anything to discuss, Fairy, just talk to the sect leader directly. I'll wait outside."
Elder Sun spoke quite naturally, as if he were already used to it. However, when these words reached Jingyue Ping's ears, she was shocked. This leader of the Myriad Gods Ridge was truly powerful. Elder Sun's status in the Myriad Gods Ridge was not low either, as could be seen from the attitude of those around him. Yet, Elder Sun was so trembling with fear before the leader of the Myriad Gods Ridge, which showed just how high the leader's prestige was.
