Chapter 478: Traversing All Heavens, Stars Shining

Chapter 478: Traversing All Heavens, Stars Shining

As soon as these words were spoken, the Supreme Principle cultivators of the Moon Goddess Palace fell into deep contemplation.

"Is a little moon maiden worthy of being personally escorted by the Moon Radiance Venerable?"

At this moment, they all understood that the Moon Radiance Venerable's escort was a pretense, and the true reason was her deeper connection with the Dark Demon Abyss.

This also surprised the Ziyuan Ancestor.

He glanced at Qi Yuan, his thoughts complex.

"Could it be that this Blood Robe is the secret child of the Moon Goddess?"

Otherwise, why would the Moon Goddess hold such affection for the Blood Robe?

But soon, his speculation was shattered.

After the group's discussion, Qi Yuan stepped forward and said, "Moon Radiance Venerable, may I have the honor of meeting the Moon Goddess?"

Qi Yuan still held some hope for finding his master, Ruan Yixi.

The Moon Radiance Venerable's eyes glimmered as she spoke softly, "The Supreme Venerable is still in seclusion and cannot meet anyone."

Qi Yuan felt a hint of disappointment upon hearing this.

He looked intently at the Moon Goddess Hall, his gaze settling on Jingli's face, which was as white as snow, and then he smiled.

...

Half a day later.

Ziyuan Heaven.

The Ziyuan Ancestor looked at Qi Yuan with a peculiar expression.

"What's your relationship with the Moon Goddess?"

"Huh? We have no relationship, I've never met her," Qi Yuan replied honestly.

"Throughout this journey, the Moon Radiance Venerable has been overly kind to you..." The Ziyuan Ancestor's face showed confusion.

For half a day, he, the Blood Robe, the Moon Radiance Venerable, and Jingli had been traveling on a flying boat towards Ziyuan Heaven.

The Moon Radiance Venerable's attitude towards the Blood Robe was not like that of a junior, but rather like that of a peer.

"Everyone is equal, and her kindness towards me is as it should be, right?" Qi Yuan couldn't help but say.

"Hmph, she possesses a Creation Artifact of offensive power, the Supreme Principle," said the Ziyuan Ancestor.

There was another sentence he didn't say.

The Moon Radiance Venerable respected the Blood Robe more than she respected him.

Clearly, he was the Supreme Principle.

"Aren't you also the Supreme Principle, and you're kind to me as well?" Qi Yuan asked.

The Ziyuan Ancestor was slightly taken aback, then said, "How can they be the same?"

At this moment, the curtain on the flying boat opened, and the Moon Radiance Venerable and Jingli stepped out.

Jingli wore a white dress, her beauty as cold as the moon palace.

The Moon Radiance Venerable looked up at the Stellar Realm and suddenly sighed, "The Lin Ya Transformation is about to begin, and the Dark Demon Abyss will likely be in turmoil. I hope it doesn't affect... you two."

Her gaze fell on Qi Yuan and Jingli.

"Rest assured, with me here, no one will harm Jingli."

Qi Yuan spoke with a commanding tone, his earthy sweet talk.

After all, it depended on who said these words.

If a goblin said them, others might find it greasy, but when a handsome man like Qi Yuan spoke, it was hard not to find it charming and witty.

As Qi Yuan spoke, he held Jingli's cold little hand.

Jingli stood quietly, just looking at Qi Yuan.

The group boarded the flying boat and transferred to a teleportation formation, finally arriving in Ziyuan Heaven.

Of course, without Jingli, the Supreme Principle's journey wouldn't have taken this long.

As soon as they arrived in Ziyuan Heaven, the Moon Radiance Venerable was about to say something, but suddenly, she looked up at the starry realm in the sky.

The Ziyuan Ancestor also immediately looked towards the starry realm.

In Ziyuan Heaven, countless Yang Deity cultivators and other cultivators also seemed to sense something and looked towards the starry realm.

At this moment, the starry realm was vast and boundless like the sea, its light spilling across all heavens.

Those stellar projections seemed to be intertwined within a starry river, forming a vortex.

"The Lin Ya Transformation... it's finally beginning," the Moon Radiance Venerable sighed.

"The surging stars are a sign of the upcoming inspection of all heavens," said the Ziyuan Ancestor, his eyes flashing.

Before the Lin Ya Transformation, the inspection of all heavens would force even the Yang Deity Venerables of the Six Heavens to reveal themselves, leaving them no choice but to enter the Lin Ya Transformation.

"After the inspection of all heavens is complete, this Venerable will return to the Moon Goddess Palace," said the Moon Radiance Venerable calmly, glancing at Qi Yuan once more.

After all, Qi Yuan was the Flame Heavenly Sovereign, and in the Moon Goddess Palace, only she might know this.

Now, with the Taohuang Palace inspecting all heavens, it was inevitable that the Blood Robe's identity as the Flame Heavenly Sovereign would be exposed.

She had to support the Blood Robe.

"Sigh, I wonder how many unknown ancient monsters will appear during this inspection of all heavens," the Ziyuan Ancestor sighed.

Then, the Moon Radiance Venerable waved her hand, "This is the Creation Artifact, the Universe Governance Map.

Wherever the moonlight shines, it will record everything, and during this inspection of all heavens, we can see how many hidden Yang Deities there are in various places in the Six Heavens, or in other words, the Supreme Principle."

The Universe Governance Map is an auxiliary Creation Artifact, essentially a miniature version of the Six Heavens.

This map has many functions, one of which is that during the inspection of all heavens, the starlight will spill over various places, reflecting on the Universe Governance Map.

At this time, nearby cultivators can clearly know where a Yang Deity Venerable is hiding.

The Ziyuan Ancestor stroked his beard, "Since we have nothing better to do, let's see how many Yang Deities are hiding in these Six Heavens."

Jingli looked at Qi Yuan with concern, her eyes full of meaning.

Qi Yuan smiled and held Jingli's hand tighter, transmitting his voice, "Don't worry, I have a plan."

Jingli calmed down a little.

She knew that in times of danger, it was Qi Yuan who had sent the Clothing Ministry's guards to help her.

Now, separated by different times and spaces, they stood together, and there was nothing to fear.

At least this time, she could face it with Qi Yuan.

Not like in the past.

However, Jingli also knew that she was still too weak.

But this time, she would stand firmly by Qi Yuan's side.

The Moon Radiance Venerable extended her hand and tossed the Universe Governance Map into the sky.

At this moment, the sky of Ziyuan Heaven changed.

The Universe Governance Map covered the sky, attracting the attention of countless cultivators.

At this moment, a Yang Deity Venerable spoke, "This is the Moon Goddess Palace's Universe Governance Map, everyone, please don't panic."

The voice spread in all directions, and the cultivators in Ziyuan Heaven finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ziyuan Ancestor looked at Qi Yuan with a kind smile, "Go ahead and take Jingli to meet your junior brothers and sisters, they've been eagerly awaiting the Moon Girl, Jingli."

"Okay."

Qi Yuan nodded and flew towards a grand hall with Jingli.

This grand hall was filled with many talented cultivators of Ziyuan Heaven, and even some from other places in the Dark Demon Abyss.

As the young prodigies caught sight of Qi Yuan and the Moon Goddess, Jingli, they rose and greeted them respectfully.

"Greetings, Blood Robe Senior Apprentice, and the Moon Goddess, Your Highness!"

At that moment, the younger cultivators of Ziyuan Tian were filled with curiosity, their gazes fixed on Jingli. When they looked at Qi Yuan, it was with a mix of reverence and admiration.

Qi Yuan, with Jingli by his side, casually remarked, "Hmm, why are so many of you gathered here today? Is there some joyous occasion, or... Ice Sword, you're usually so focused on your cultivation. What brings you all to Ziyuan Tian?"

Ice Sword replied, "We heard that the Moon Goddess, Your Highness, is to marry Blood Robe Senior Apprentice. We were curious, so we came to see for ourselves."

Blood Robe's marriage to the Moon Goddess had caused quite a stir within the Dark Demon Abyss.

One could even say it was a sensation.

After all, it was a rule of the Moon Goddess Palace that the Moon Goddess could not marry. Yet, this rule was being broken for Blood Robe, and what was even more significant was that Jingli, as the Moon Goddess, was marrying Blood Robe. How could this not be surprising?

"No wonder your cultivation progress is so slow; you're too curious," Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Ice Sword smiled faintly, his gaze shifting to the Universe Governance Map in the heavens, "This time, we've hit the jackpot. Not only do we get to see the Moon Goddess, Your Highness, but we also get to witness the Universe Governance Map!"

"That's right, and we can also see how many Yang Deities are hidden in the Sixth Heaven," added another prodigy.

The other prodigies were also intrigued.

Zi Yuan Xiaolu, however, seemed disinterested. Her gaze was complex, and she eventually turned to An Xunlu by her side, "Did you see? Blood Robe Senior Apprentice is to marry Jingli, the Moon Goddess. As the first prodigy of the Dark Demon Abyss, he should be respected."

"Hmph, you're happy about it, but he's not marrying you!" An Xunlu retorted immediately.

Zi Yuan Xiaolu glared at An Xunlu, thinking of a suitable retort.

Suddenly, a commotion rippled through the gathered prodigies.

"Look, the light is flashing! The inspection of the heavens has begun!"

"This position is the First Heaven!"

"The inspection starts from the First Heaven!"

Everyone's attention was now focused on the Universe Governance Map.

In the heavens, within the Stellar Realm, a burst of light flashed.

The entire Sixth Heaven seemed to brighten, as if there were no night.

On the Universe Governance Map, points of light appeared one by one.

In the First Heaven, countless cultivators witnessed a spectacle—innumerable beams of light shooting up from the distant Earthly Realm, dazzlingly bright and captivating.

"Those who don't know might think it's the Berlin air defense cannons firing," Qi Yuan remarked calmly.

Within the First Heaven, every cultivator who witnessed this vast display of starlight bowed in reverence.

For this represented the presence of a Yang Deity!

"So many Yang Deities in the First Heaven!"

"Among the Six Heavens, the First Heaven is the strongest after the Sixth Heaven!"

"The Yang Deities of the First Heaven are the most numerous in the Sixth Heaven!"

"Look at those starlight beams, they're all Yang Deities of the Heaven Rank!"

"That's not right, there are even Yang Deities as numerous as a river! I didn't expect the First Heaven to hide so many Ultimate Principle Council members!"

Qi Yuan observed the Universe Governance Map, his gaze calm.

"So many Yang Deities, the cultivation world is truly flourishing," Qi Yuan remarked with a hint of awe.

However, upon thinking about it, with so many stars in the Stellar Realm reflecting the heavens, it was only natural to have this many Yang Deities.

At this moment, the Universe Governance Map was illuminated, attracting the attention of many.

"The starlight is so bright, there's even a Great Supreme Enlightenment in the First Heaven!"

"It's not just one, there are seven of them!"

"They're really good at hiding!"

"Wait, it's not the Great Supreme Enlightenment, but they possess the power of the Great Supreme Enlightenment!"

"Just like the Emperor Palace Envoy..."

At this moment, the Yang Deities of various sacred lands were observing the inspection of the heavens. In the Taohuang Palace, True Essence Venerable's eyes flickered with complex emotions, "This venerable seems to have spotted many old friends."

By his side, the Ten Sun Venerable's eyes were like a scorching sun, "There are far more powerful beings in this world than we imagined."

"So this session of the Li Hua Transformation will be even more lively," True Essence Venerable said, his face showing surprise, "I didn't expect the Ten Sun Venerable to not be hiding in the First Heaven, it's quite unexpected."

This inspection of the heavens was not only to find all the Yang Deities but also to uncover the Ten Sun Venerable, who dared to challenge the Taohuang Palace.

According to True Essence Venerable's speculation, the Ten Sun Venerable should be hiding in the First Heaven.

After all, among the Six Heavens, the First Heaven was the most vast and the easiest place to hide.

However, during the inspection, the starlight beams from the First Heaven did not coincide with the Ten Sun Venerable's expected location.

This meant that the Ten Sun Venerable was not in the First Heaven.

"No matter, wherever he's hiding in the Six Heavens, he's doomed!"

"The inspection of the Second Heaven has begun!"

In the midst of this, countless Yin Immortals from the Mara Clan blinked in confusion.

"What's going on?"

"Where's the Grandmaster?"

"Why is the Mara Clan so quiet?"

The cultivators of the Mara Clan were utterly perplexed.

There were still several Yang Deity Venerables among them.

Yet, at this moment, not a single ray of starlight could be seen.

They couldn't help but be astonished.

At this time, a Yin Immortal named Mu Lan, who had been living in fear and trepidation after discovering the secret of the Mara Clan's Yang Deities, finally felt relief and joy as he witnessed this scene.

"Hahaha, he's finally gone! Finally!"

"That terrifying person is finally gone!"

Mu Lan had been living under a shadow during this period.

He had found out that the Yang Deities of the Mara Clan were all portrayed by a single individual.

Knowing this secret, he had been constantly on edge, living in fear.

Now that those Yang Deities had disappeared, he couldn't help but feel delighted.

Meanwhile, in the Six Heavens, the Supreme Enlightenment from the Taohuang Palace was filled with astonishment.

"The Yang Deities of the Mara Clan have vanished, where did they go?"

"How strange!"

"Their stars are still there!"

Taohuang's face revealed a peculiar expression, "I'm curious about the one who comprehended two Supreme Ultimate Principles, the Flame Emperor Heavenly Sovereign. Where is he at this moment?"

The True Essence Venerable narrowed his eyes, his expression complex, "It seems that with the Lian Ya Transformation, the Mara Clan has grand schemes. However, even if they have something planned, they can't escape the eyes of the Taohuang Palace!"

"The Ten Sun Venerable isn't in the Fifth Heaven either, it seems he's in the Six Heavens. His courage... is quite remarkable!"

"Wherever the Grand Sun shines, nothing can hide. Rest assured, his good days are numbered!"

The True Essence Venerable spoke, his eyes now filled with reverence.

The inspection of all heavens was about to reach the Six Heavens.

At the same time, the Moon Radiance Venerable glanced at Qi Yuan with a meaningful look.

She, too, was curious about where the Yang Deity Venerables of the Mara Clan had gone.

"Look, the stars are like an ocean, it's a Supreme Venerable!"

"This is the Supreme Venerable of the Azure Heaven!"

On the Universe Governance Map, the stars were indeed like an ocean, deep and vast.

As they looked up, towards the direction of the Azure Heaven, they also saw the endless sea of stars, bright and awe-inspiring.

"Again, the stars are like an ocean... This is a Mystic Land!"

"Could it be..."

"Two Supreme Venerables, indeed, the Supreme Enlightenment has two Supreme Venerables!"

As the inspection of the Six Heavens continued, more and more Yang Deities became excited and tense.

Because the Six Heavens were teeming with high-level combat power.

One could even say that the rare Supreme Enlightenments in the lower realms were abundant here.

At this moment, some Yang Deity Venerables also began to pay attention to the number of Yang Deities in the Six Heavens.

After all, with the Lian Ya Transformation about to begin, each faction needed to be clear about whether there were any hidden trump cards.

"The Divine Luo Heaven has gained another Supreme Enlightenment, and they've hidden it well!"

"The White Dragon Abyss has seven Supreme Enlightenments, what's going on?"

"The Moon Goddess Hall has fewer Yang Deities..."

Various exclamations and discussions filled the air.

At the same time, without the need for the Universe Governance Map, the cultivators in the Ziyuan Heaven could see countless stars erupting and soaring into the sky, vast and terrifying.

The entire Six Heavens were as bright as day at this moment.

At this time, the Ice Sword was especially nervous.

Because... the inspection of all heavens was about to reach the Ziyuan Heaven!

As he spoke, the Ice Sword ran his hand through his hair and secretly struck a cool pose.

After all, he was about to be so cool that he'd shine!

"Here it comes!"

The cultivators in the Ziyuan Heaven held their breaths in anticipation.

After all, they were also curious about the number of Yang Deities in the Ziyuan Heaven.

Were there any hidden Yang Deities?

At this moment, Qi Yuan also felt a bit nervous.

"As long as the starlight isn't too bright, my black robe can cover it. No worries."

He thought carefully.

As a Purple Mansion cultivator, even with the Supreme Enlightenment's combat power, how much starlight could he have?

The Ziyuan Ancestor smoothed his beard, "The number of Yang Deity Venerables in our Ziyuan Heaven is the same as before. If there's one more, it's this Ice Sword."

Of course, the Ice Sword wasn't from the Ziyuan Heaven.

But the Ice Sword's thoughts and disguise couldn't escape the eyes of the Supreme Enlightenment.

As the Ziyuan Ancestor's words fell, a ray of starlight suddenly soared into the sky from the Ziyuan Heaven.

The starlight on the Ziyuan Ancestor's body was like a lake, especially bright and robust.

And the starlight on the Moon Radiance Venerable's body was obviously much thicker than that of the Ziyuan Ancestor.

"The number of Yang Deity Venerables in our Ziyuan Heaven isn't much, no need to..."

He spoke, but suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

His gaze, along with the Moon Radiance Venerable's, turned towards the area where the Ice Sword was located.

The cultivators in the Six Heavens, sensing something, looked towards the Ziyuan Heaven.

A ray of starlight burst forth from the Ice Sword's body, like a stream, soared into the sky.

The Ice Sword's heart fluttered, and he was about to enjoy the adoring gazes.

But at this moment, he suddenly closed his eyes.

"Damn, who cast a lighting spell, blinding me?"

In an instant, he felt the white-hot, bright light, countless flashes of light soaring into the sky around him.

Even as a Yang Deity, he couldn't help but close his eyes at this moment.

When he opened his eyes again, he was completely stunned.

In front of him, not far away, the black robe of the Blood Robe seemed to have countless holes.

Countless rays of starlight, continuously soared into the sky!

This scene... was odd!

Even the starlight of a Supreme Venerable wouldn't be as vast and grand as this.

It was as if thousands of Yang Deities were squeezed together, constantly shining.

This wasn't the starlight of a Yang Deity!

This was... thousands of rays?

This light was indescribable.

The Ice Sword trembled, blinking his eyes.

"Blood Robe, did you hide thousands of light bulbs in your robe?"
