"You don't know?" Yue Chuntao was surprised to hear this. Although they had been together inside the Heavenhold Secret Land for thirty years, Yun Lintian had never spoken about this matter seriously.
Yun Lintian shrugged. "As I told you, when I knew it again, I already found myself in the sect."
Yue Chuntao nodded while staring at Yun Lintian thoughtfully.
"You're finally back, Miss." At this moment, Yue Qi appeared in front of them and heaved a sigh of relief. He was under tremendous pressure during this period, and if Yue Chuntao didn't come back early, he was likely to be demoted.
Yue Chuntao grinned mischievously and said. "You've worked hard."
Yue Qi smiled bitterly and bowed his head toward Yun Lintian. "We have met again, Young Master Yun."
Yun Lintian was taken aback by Yue Qi's politeness. Although Yue Qi was usually polite when he spoke to him, it wasn't to the point he needed to lower his head like this. In any case, Yue Qi was a genuine Divine Emperor. It should be beneath him to give a bow to someone weaker.
Yun Lintian hurriedly helped Yue Qi up and said. "There's no need to be polite, Senior. I am a junior, after all."
Yue Qi smiled and said. "The Beyond Heaven King is a benefactor of the Divine Realm, and his successor deserves respect. This came from the bottom of my heart."
Yue Chuntao rolled her eyes and said. "Stop flattering. Tell me. Why are you here?"
Yue Qi quickly replied. "Priestess is waiting for everyone currently. I'm here to invite everyone back."
Yue Chuntao frowned in puzzlement. "What's the hurry?"
"I don't know." Yue Qi shook his head. "Let's go, Miss?"
Although Yue Chuntao was dissatisfied in her heart as she hadn't played enough, she still followed Yue Qi back to the Divine Moon Peak.
The Divine Moon Clan's territory wasn't large compared to other realm kings' territories. It was even smaller than the Heavenhold Sect. Moreover, all the buildings here were simple. There weren't much of luxury decorations. If Yun Lintian didn't know beforehand, he would think it was the countryside or something.
The Divine Moon Peak was located at the center of the area. It was the tallest peak and was shrouded with curtains of moonlight. When Yun Lintian saw it for the first time, he thought he was on Earth and watched the northern lights right now.
Along the way toward the mountain, people would come to greet Yue Chuntao and seize this chance to observe Yun Lintian up close. His image had been circulated long before, and most people here knew about his identity.
The friendly attitude of the Divine Moon Clan's people made Yun Lintian believe Lin Xinyao's parents would be treated better here than what Wu Qingcheng and Wu Liwei faced in the Shen Clan.
"By the way, where are Xinyao's parents?" Yun Lintian asked. He had talked about Lin Xinyao's matter with Yue Chuntao before, and she was naturally aware of it.
"I will bring you to see Aunty Xiurong later." Yue Chuntao replied and started speeding up, rushing to the top of the mountain.
Yun Lintian had no choice but to follow her with Ning Yue.
On the top of the mountain, moonlight auroras intertwined in the sky, right above the peak. It made Yun Lintian feel like he had just stepped into a fairyland.
The simplicity and elegance of everything gave Yun Lintian peace of mind, as a simple wooden hut could be seen standing alone here with a small fishpond and a pavilion nearby.
Standing beside the pond was Yue Hua. She looked at the moonlight in the night sky as if looking into the future.
When Yue Chuntao and the others arrived, Yue Hua lowered her head and turned to look at them. "You're here."
"Junior Yun Lintian greets Senior Yue." Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said politely.
Yue Hua nodded gently and said with a smile. "The fact that you didn't use the item I gave you proved that your plan went smoothly."
"Thank you, Senior. I believe Senior should have expected this beforehand, and the life-saving item you gave me should be prepared for an unexpected enemy who lurked around in the darkness." Yun Lintian refused to believe that Yue Hua didn't know about his plan from the beginning.
He took the moon-shaped jade out and handed it to Yue Hua. "Please take it back, Senior."
Yue Hua shook her head and said. "Keep it to yourself. You will need it soon."
Yun Lintian's expression became serious upon hearing this. "Then, I won't be polite."
"Follow me." Yue Hua waved her hand and brought everyone to the small pavilion beside the pond.
After everyone sat down and served the tea, Yue Hua looked at Yun Lintian and said. "You probably have already learned about the past incident from Shen Huang and have many questions on your mind. I can answer one or two questions for you."
Yun Lintian took a sip of tea and organized his words. "I wanted to know how exactly the Beyond Heaven King passed his legacy to the Azure World."
"He had reckoned about his ending ahead of time and entrusted someone to put his inheritance there after he was gone." Yue Hua answered. "This person has a special identity, and I cannot tell you anything much, as it will affect the overall layout."
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. If he guessed correctly, the person she said should be that mysterious woman who created the mythical realms in the Azure World… Could she be the woman named Yao Xi? Or the Beyond Heaven King's confidant?
Yun Lintian put this doubt aside and asked further. "The second one is, are we going to face the Primordial God Tribe's people again in the near future? And the purpose of the Beyond Heaven King leaving his legacy behind was to deal with them, right?"
"It is inevitable. They will come back again." Yue Hua replied calmly. "And yes, one part of his purpose is to let you protect the Divine Realm."
"What's the other part?" Yun Lintian asked quickly.
Yue Hua took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "Giving you the power to protect your people."
Yun Lintian was stunned. "What do you mean, Senior?… Wouldn't this mean he knows about me? How could it be possible?"
