Chapter 834: 834: How to open the gates?
The words spoken by the man who suddenly approached their group wasn’t likeable in the ears. Especially in this case, the one being called a bitch was the Moon Goddess herself. Yue Xuexia’s standing in the Regal Lei Clan is only second to her father and uncle. Which makes her status in the Lei Clan more noble than Lei Liye and Yue Zhiya. Now someone from the collateral clan even dares to call her names.
The first one to get angry was Shan Du and grabbed the foul mouthed Dian Yin and punched him. Everyone in the area was surprised as no one expected that Shan Du would truly start a fight with Dian Yin.
"You bastard! What kind of word did you just call the princess!?" Shan Du shouted.
Before his words were completed the four adults were isolated from the children. The one who did it is none other than the Moon Goddess who had blocked the sounds for the children to hear. The moment the isolated barrier appeared, Dian Yin and Huan Xun knew that this is something only those who can control space elements can do without the help of the formation. They knew Shan Du so well and this kind of feat was something impossible for him to achieve.
The two collectively look at the veiled woman behind Shan Du and realize that Dian Yin had most likely hit an iron plate this time. Being who can control lightning elements are considered not only lunatics but also experts who are extremely powerful. The moment Dian Yin realized this his face turned pale in fear.
Yue Xuexia said, "Shan Du, step back."
"Yes, Princess!" Shan Du responded as he moved away from Dian Yin and stood behind the Moon Goddess.
’Princess!?’ Thoughts of Dian Yin upon hearing how Shan Du respectfully responded to the woman in veil.
Likewise, Huan Xun fell in deep thoughts: ’The lineage of Ancestor Yuhuang, there are only three who can be called princess and those are the three daughters of the First Prince, Lei Yuya. The twin princesses are not that proficient with control over lightning elements then that leaves only one person. The reincarnated Moon Goddess who is said to be born capable of controlling the moon and lightning elements, Princess Yue Xuexia!’
’Holy shit! Did Dian Yin just called Princess Xuexia bitch?!’ Huan Li immediately realized the seriousness of the situation as he backed away from the culprit who caused this situation, Dian Yin.
On the other hand, Dian Yin who knew that he had fucked up kowtowed on the ground pleading to be spread.
"Please spare me!" Dian Yin said while kneeling before the Moon Goddess.
The Moon Goddess had no reaction to his pleas. Who would be happy being called bitch by someone.
Yue Xuexia said, "You aren’t the first one to call me with such an insulting word but none of those who said that word lives after." Her voice was so cold that it was chilling
The words of the Moon Goddess finally registered in the ears of the three elders from the Regal Lei Clan. Dian Yin wanted to beg for mercy only to see those black eyes flash with violet shade and lightning pattern.
Yue Xuexia whispered, "Divine Punishment, fall!"
A small cluster of black clouds appeared above Dian Yin’s head and a thick white lightning directly fell on his head. He was struck by lightning commanded by the Moon Empress. However, she had no intention of killing him at all and only left him half dead. Maybe thanks to his affinity with lightning Dian Yin only suffered burns but this strike didn’t take his life.
AGH!!
Thud!
The Moon Goddess said, "Speak more nonsense and I will cut off your tongue next. When you return to the Regal Lei Clan, ask Uncle Yuye to punish yourself. My identity is not to be spread."
"Yes! Thank you for your mercy, Princess Xuexia!" Huan Xun said as he cupped his fists before Yue Xuexia.
Maybe due to this bad impression, Yue Xuexia didn’t respond to Huan Xun’s greeting and turned back without reaction towards the two. The barrier also disappears as the Moon Goddess walks away, ignoring the two men behind her.
"Shan Du, lead the way! Let’s enter the treasure land," said the Moon Goddess.
Shan Du said, "Yes. Please follow me. Children, gather together and follow closely."
Only when the group led by Shan Du had left and that the Moon Goddess had followed did Huan Xun dare to make a move and fed Dian Yin a healing pill. This pill slowly healed his burns and allowed his charred skin to fall as the pain lingering in his body became bearable.
Huan Xun said, "I’ve always told you to hold back your tongue. Now you have offended someone you aren’t supposed to! I can believe you called the first princess a bitch. You are seeking death! Shan Du is definitely going to report to you when we return to the clan."
Barely finished healing, Dian Yin felt that he had escaped from the depths of hell. When that divine lightning fell on him, he felt like he would turn into ashes at that moment, after all, that the lightning tribulation something that can even make a powerful cultivator perish forever.
"I was only teasing Shan Du as always. Who would have thought that the princess was around. I should have guessed it when the little prince from the Moon Clan was here," said Dian Yin.
—
At the closed entrance of the treasure land, Shan Du and his group stood in front of an altar with a short blade with a small basin connected to the door itself. Seeing this, Yue Xuexia had some guesses in her heart but still asked Shan Du for confirmation.
The Moon Goddess asked, "What does this door mean? It needs blood sacrifice to open?"
Shan Du felt nervous when he heard the question of the princess. However, being questioned by the Moon Goddess, he cannot leave it unanswered.
He says, "Yes, only the blood of those descendants of the Lightning God can open it."
"Are you insane? You should have brought a few adults then. It needs a full bowl for the whole area of the treasure land to open," Yue Xuexia noticed the gauge of blood sacrifice needed for the doors of each ring to open. But if she was not here, the only one who can give blood was Lei Liye who is not even ten years old.
Feeling nervous at the voice of the princess which gets colder as she speaks more, Shan Du said, "The... The plan was only to train the children to the outer ring so... Only a few drops of blood are needed originally."
"But I need to go to the core region? Alright, I will go to the blood sacrifice," said Yue Xuexia as she took out a drop of her blood essence.
Blood essence is the source of bloodline power itself and Yue Xuexia’s bloodline is so mixed that it mutated to something too powerful with multiple kinds of elements in it. Everyone saw her take out a drop of golden blood from her forehead and it shows elements of moon, lightning, nature, blood and more. Before Shan Du and the others could see through it, the Moon Goddess had flicked this blood essence to the blood sacrifice altar nonchalantly.
{Primordial-grade Lightning Ancient God’s Bloodline. All gates within the treasure land will now open!}
{Beware that each gates has requirement for entrance. Violation of rules will be punished with Divine Punishment.}
Rumbles~
The large layered gates started to open. Everyone never expected that the bloodline the Moon Goddess had from the Lightning God itself was the purest and the most ancient of all kinds of bloodline. In short, her affinity with the Lightning God itself was the strongest among all descendants that this treasure land had opened all the doors for her.
Huan Xun, Dian Yin and the other children who were with them overheard the announcement by the door. They had also noticed that the one who had undergone the bloodline sacrifice was the woman in veil instead of the little prince Lei Liye who was tasked to do so. With the opening of the gates, everyone from the clan realized that this veiled woman was also a direct descendant like their little prince and with a higher generation than all of them.
Dian Yin mumbles, "All gates had opened! She is truly the First Prince’s daughter. I am screwed."
Recalling how overprotective the main family is towards their descendants, as the Moon Goddess’s uncle, the Thunder King, Lei Yuye would most likely beat him to death with the two ancestors of the Regal Lei Clan joining him. It was only at this moment that he truly regrets not holding back his loose tongue on this day. Imagining the punishment he would suffer the moment he returned to the clan, Dian Yin started crying.
However, this had nothing to do with the Moon Goddess. She looked at the group behind her and said, "Let’s go inside." With her leading, the group had finally entered the opened gates of the Lightning Ancient God’s Abode.
