Chapter 938: Pure Moon Palace's Calamity (4)



The hearts of every surviving member of the Pure Moon Palace trembled when the impact outside the sealed entrance shook the entire icy cave. Their short-lived joy was crushed by despair.

Boom! Boom!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The entire icy large shook several more times. Some were more intense than others, while some were also more distant.

Several Moon Fairies gritted their teeth with determination as they immediately headed to the sealed entrance to reinforce it. Even if the enemies found them, they did not plan to sit still and wait for their deaths; they had to struggle until the end.

Only through such struggles would they even find a glimmer of hope.

Nevertheless, Palace Mistress Celestia's expression changed greatly after the third tremor. She immediately stopped her Moon Fairies from reinforcing the sealed entrance with their ice magic.

"Wait! Don't use your spirit energy to reinforce the entrance. The enemy hasn't found us yet!" Palace Mistress Celestia alerted.

Second Fairy Ella and Third Fairy Levia immediately froze in their tracks. Shortly after, they looked back at their Palace Mistress with doubt and uncertainty.

"Are you sure, Palace Mistress?" they asked.

"Not completely," Palace Mistress Celestia admitted before saying, "However, if they did find our location, they would have concentrated their attacks on the sealed entrance, not target multiple different locations."

"I think they are just trying to shake up the mountain to lure us out. If you mobilize your spirit energy to reinforce the sealed entrance with ice magic, the enemy might sense it and discover our actual location."

"Even if they can't sense, we are on the very edge of the Divine Serpent Fog Formation. Your ice spells might not work, and you will only waste your spirit energy," Palace Mistress Celestia explained before throwing a fit of violent coughs.

The nearby disciples immediately supported her and rubbed her back in an attempt to soothe her aggravated symptoms. Only after she had calmed down did they continue their discussion. "But didn't you use ice magic to seal the entrance just fine, Palace Mistress?" Seventh Fairy Lula asked with doubt.

"That's because I am a Void Realm expert, and the rest of you aren't yet. Your powers aren't strong enough to resist the spirit dissipation," Palace Mistress Celestia answered.

"The devouring spirit vortex formed from shattering the spirit core to enter the Void Realm is like a powerful spirit energy gathering formation. It is my spirit domain; spirit energy within it cannot be robbed by external forces."

"That is also why no one ever leaves the Divine Serpent Empire. Their spiritual arts are useless outside the Divine Serpent Fog Formation unless they are in the Void Realm," Palace Mistress Celestia explained.

Spirit energy cultivators under the Void Realm could only use spirit energy to fortify their bodies outside the Divine Serpent Empire.

Without their spiritual arts, they wouldn't be as powerful.

Nevertheless, after the remaining survivors of the Pure Moon Palace listened to Palace Mistress Celestia, their understanding of the Void Realm deepened.

At the same time, the Moon Fairies, who were all Peak-stage Heaven Ascension Realm experts, felt like their cultivation path to the Void Realm became clearer. That said, no one dared to take the last step.

After all, shattering the spirit core to enter the Void Realm had a ninety percent chance of failure when ill-prepared. Every spirit energy cultivator who had ever failed to form the devouring spirit vortex in their spirit sea would die from the energy outburst.

As such, the Moon Fairies were smart enough not to charge into the Void Realm blindly.

Their Palace Mistress had also advised them not to rely on chance but on a solid foundation to achieve success.

"If we can survive this calamity and obtain the chance to cultivate on the moon, I hope none of you will rush to enter the Void Realm," Palace Mistress Celestia sincerely said to the Moon Fairies, arousing their curiosity.

"Why is that, Palace Mistress?" First Fairy Marina asked.

"Because I hope you all can take a different path from me-one that is safer but also much more difficult," Palace Mistress Celestia said with a sentimental look.

"There is another way to enter the Void Realm? The Moon Fairies were astonished.

However, Palace Mistress Celestia shook her head, replying, "Not the Void Realm."

"It is said that spirit energy cultivation is divided into two paths-the way of heaven and the way of defying heaven. To shatter the spirit core and enter the Void Realm is the way of defying heaven."

"You can also think of this act of defiance as the cultivator's message, saying-since the heavens do not provide enough spirit energy for the cultivator to conform with the will of heaven, the cultivator will take from the heavens to form a heaven that would conform with their will instead."

"It is said that all Void Realm experts who reach the divine way through this path will all form independent worlds in their divine sea," Palace Mistress Celestia explained.

As the Moon Fairies and sect disciples listened to her, they were all intrigued by the level above the Void Realm. It was also a good distraction from the tremors outside the cave.

To them, having an independent world in the divine sea didn't sound so bad. That was like carrying a portable Pangea. They could store anything and cultivate anything inside.

Its convenience was far too many.

"I know what you are all thinking. True, having an independent world is very useful. However, you are forgetting the danger that comes with it. Since it's an act against the heavens, the heavens will try to smite you with Divine Damnation," Palace Mistress Celestia said seriously. The world did not know the fear of the Divine Damnation since it had never experienced it. Even she had only heard about it from her maternal grandmother.

However, her maternal grandmother was the wisest person she knew when she was still around.

As such, all her teachings and warnings were taken to heart.

The Divine Damnation was unimaginably scary, especially since Void Realm experts weren't as powerful as they used to be in ancient times.

"Then... What is the way of heaven, Palace Mistress?" Eighth Fairy Pumpkin asked curiously.
