Chapter 465: There Were Once Two Moons
Deep underground, Pang Jian tried to carry himself with the poise of a scholar. Although he did not engage further with the white-robed woman's divine sense, he could not deny the subtle longing that lingered in his heart.
Master wasn't lying. The long path of cultivation truly offers unconventional and indescribable experiences along the way.
He found himself savoring the memory of the encounter, unable to shake its allure.
His divine sense soared upward, but the journey became increasingly arduous as it neared the surface.
It seemed significant restrictions were imposed on the movement of his divine sense when he was deep underground.
After a moment of thought, he ascended from five hundred zhang underground to three hundred, intending to check on the situation in Star Moon Valley. He also secretly hoped to catch another glimpse of the white-robed woman.
At three hundred zhang deep, he could easily peer into Star Moon Valley with his divine sense.
It was another deep night. The moon was a silver disk and the stars shimmered like precious diamonds.
The white-robed woman named Ying Yue stood out strikingly in the chaos surrounding her.
Rubble and bones lay scattered around her.
Her lunar energy had crushed the heretical cultivators—already dead at the hands of the Demon Sect—in a second wave of destruction.
Ying Yue stood in the wreckage of the broken stone building with a frosty expression.
With her cultivation realm and mastery of divine abilities, she could discern faint specks of golden light emanating from the ground.
What's he planning now? Ying Yue growled inwardly.
She steadied her emotions, not daring to release even a strand of divine sense in fear of giving the lurking bastard underground an opportunity to act.
Even before ascending to godhood, she had never had to endure such a humiliating disgrace.
Her hatred for the man below seeped into her very bones but she was powerless against him in this vessel.
The faint specks of golden light lingered, and she knew he was silently watching her.
The longer he observed, the more she felt the golden light carried an indescribable lecherous aura.
She inwardly cursed the man below before feigning ignorance and leaping into a rocky cave on one of the mountains flanking Star Moon Valley.
At the mouth of the cave, she invoked her divine abilities, establishing a connection with her true body on the moon above.
A concentrated beam of moonlight descended and merged with her vessel.
Although she knew this risky act could draw the attention of powerful human cultivators, she found she no longer cared.
She just wanted to strengthen her vessel's divine soul and cultivation realm. Once her vessel ascended to the Nirvana Realm, she could drag the bastard hiding deep underground out and torture him to death.
"The lowly human race should be erased from the starry skies," she muttered, redirecting her hatred for the man below to all humans in the Abyss.
***
She's channeling pure lunar radiance directly into a mortal body...
This Ying Yue is likely a former disciple of the Star Moon Sect—one with ties to an Outer God.
Pang Jian retracted his divine sense and put aside his conjectures to focus on himself once more.
The Stellar-Lunar Veins had been drained of lunar energy and only a quarter of their original amount of stellar energy remained.
He resolved to quicken his efforts and absorbed the remaining stellar energy within the Stellar-Lunar Veins beneath Star Moon Valley.
Several days later, a magnificent spectacle unfolded as the final threads of stellar energy merged into the stars above the fragmented land in Pang Jian's dantian.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A violent tremor rumbled from the surface just as he was about to leave,
He extended his divine sense up and quickly discerned the situation.
Wu Yuan of the Demon Sect was wielding the Purple Demon Eye to hunt down Ying Yue within Star Moon Valley.
The divine power of the Great Demon God He Motian within the Purple Demon Eye shattered Ying Yue's painstakingly conjured lunar light barriers, massive moon shields, and enigmatic techniques.
Wu Yuan seemed like a Demon God incarnate with his late-stage Soul Wandering Realm cultivation and divine artifact.
***
Ying Yue's vessel had an inferior cultivation realm, an unrefined physical body, an unpolished divine soul, and even lacked divine-grade artifacts to rely on. Naturally, she was no match for the prodigy of the Demon Sect.
She also sensed the presence of other Demon Sect powerhouses scattered in the outer regions of Star Moon Valley.
This confirmed her suspicions that the Demon Sect squad had never retreated far from Star Moon Valley.
Damn it, another human with a divine soul imbued with divine consciousness. I can't shatter his sea of consciousness or destroy his divine soul! Ying Yue fumed.
The combination of the divine image of He Motian within the Purple Demon Eye and Wu Yuan's secret soul techniques either crushed or blocked her most prized soul techniques.
Wu Yuan's divine soul was imbued with divine consciousness, which enabled him to detect and counter Ying Yue's covert attacks.
Forget it. That despicable bastard hiding underground already ruined all my plans here. If not for his meddling, I would've already merged the Stellar-Lunar Veins into my vessel and left Star Moon Valley long ago.
Ying Yue let out a resigned sigh as she decided to abandon her vessel.
As she prepared to withdraw her divine consciousness to her true body, a tall, lean young man with a sallow complexion walked into the valley from the outskirts.
He was dressed in blue with a sword token hanging from his waist and a sheathed black-gold sword on his back.
The young man stood at the entrance to Star Moon Valley, looked up at Wu Yuan with a cold expression, and asked, "Wu Yuan, why are you trying to kill her?"
Wu Yuan, standing in the boundless demonic qi swirling beneath the Purple Demon Eye, turned his detached gaze toward the newcomer.
Glancing over, he noticed the black-gold sword on the young man's back.
The Abyssal Demon Sword's composition had changed, but Wu Yuan still immediately recognized the newcomer.
"You know her?" Wu Yuan asked in surprise.
The young man shook his head. "I don't."
"So, do you want me to let her live? Or can I kill her?" Wu Yuan pressed.
The young man hesitated briefly, recalling the pleasant entanglement of their divine senses. "Let her live."
"Oh." Wu Yuan grabbed the Purple Demon Eye, retracted the boundless demonic qi, and turned to the young man. "Let's catch up outside."
"Alright." The sallow-faced young man turned and started walking away.
Ying Yue bit her crystalline lips in anger.
"It's you, isn't it?" she called out coldly.
The young man stopped, turned his head, and stared blankly at her. "What?"
Ying Yue ground her teeth, her eyes blazing with frosty fire as she growled, "You're the one hiding underground, weren't you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," the young man replied innocently.
Wu Yuan arrived next to the young man and the pair walked out of Star Moon Valley together.
"Too afraid to admit it? I know it's you!"
