Chapter 96 Moon Ritual
"Thump!"
The gates of the Starry Palace slowly opened, and a dense, almost solidified, stellar power surged forth, its deep purple radiance spilling across the boundless starry sky, slowly unfolding a magnificent deep purple starry path.
Just then, a figure in deep purple emerged from the main hall and walked along the deep purple starry path toward Huo Yuhao and the others.
This was the first time Huo Yuhao had learned that besides his mother's soul, there was another being in his second sea of consciousness.
The Silver Dragon King, Zhang Lexuan, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who was still in its soul beast form, looked at the figure with different expressions, some blank and unfamiliar, others wary and fearful.
She was a stunningly beautiful woman with long, flowing, deep purple hair. Her eyes were indifferent and lonely. She wore a simple light purple silk robe, which did nothing to conceal her full and alluring figure.
She gently raised her head, looking directly into Huo Yuhao's eyes with her bright green eyes, devoid of any emotion. She parted her lips slightly and said, "Now that we're here, let's all return to our places."
As soon as she finished speaking, she gently waved her slender hand, and the gates of the Moon Palace instantly opened. A surge of silvery-white lunar energy rushed in like a tide, sweeping up Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan, and then, like the receding tide, carrying the two bewildered people straight towards the gates of the Moon Palace.
"Thump!"
The giant gate slowly closed, and Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan's figures disappeared from the spot.
The figure in deep purple glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Silver Dragon King, and said indifferently, "I will temporarily borrow your power to complete the Moon Ritual. After it is over, I will answer some of your questions."
Having said that, she casually waved her hand, and the immobilized Silver Dragon King and Three-Eyed Golden Lion formed a triangle with her.
The next moment, a deep purple halo slowly gathered from her hands, and a deep purple star pattern appeared beneath her feet.
At the same moment, the sun emblem beneath the three-eyed golden lion shone brightly, its golden-red halo radiating a fiery life force.
The crest of the moon beneath the Silver Dragon King's feet shone brightly, its silvery-white halo exuding a cold and eerie aura of death.
The sun, moon, and stars shine and resonate, yin and yang cycle, life flows endlessly, and creation never ceases.
The deep purple figure rode the Three Stars Formation, her delicate hand forming a hand seal. The three stars, the sun, the moon, and the stars, instantly converged into a small array eye.
Immediately afterwards, she gently tossed the array's core toward the Moon Palace.
The array eye, shimmering with golden-red, silver-white, and deep-purple halos, began to rotate counterclockwise with a gentle toss, drawing boundless power from the vast, boundless starry sky to nourish itself and grow larger. By the time it landed directly above the Moon Palace, it had completely enveloped it.
A sky-covering, three-colored radiance poured down, enveloping the entire Moon Palace, instantly revealing a wondrous and magnificent scene to the two people and the beast.
Three tiny figures, each the size of a grain of rice, stood in stark contrast to the majestic, mountain-like palace, silently unfolding a breathtaking and enchanting scene in the boundless starry sky.
A beautiful figure in deep purple silently witnessed everything before her. As the enormous magic array slowly subsided and the three colors of light returned to their respective positions and flowed naturally, she recited a string of ancient scriptures in a majestic yet clear voice.
"Between heaven and earth, movement requires yin and yang. Yang transforms through yin, and yin flows through yang. Yin and yang depend on each other for their operation. Therefore, men feel strong and firm, while women move with expansion and contraction. The two energies interact and the fluids flow freely."
The Silver Dragon King looked at the suddenly appearing purple-haired woman with growing confusion. Why was she chanting scriptures again for no reason? What did these scriptures mean? I couldn't understand them.
This woman is dangerous; she can make me lose control of my body completely! Just who is she?
Compared to the wary Silver Dragon King, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, whose strength was far inferior, had simply given up. Even the lord couldn't do anything, so what could I do? Give up! Let it be!
Out of sight, out of mind; the Three-Eyed Golden Lion simply closed all three eyes, lay down on the sun emblem, and began to snore soundly.
Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the Moon Shrine, a completely different scene unfolded.
The silvery-white power of the moon transformed into soft silk, undulating and intertwining to create a vast silver silk tapestry.
Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan happened to land on this spot. The two bewildered individuals exchanged glances, neither of them understanding what was going on.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, and both of them fell silent.
After a long silence, Zhang Lexuan, who was already full of questions, spoke first, "I remember burning my life essence, didn't I? But why am I perfectly fine now, without any problems? Also, where is Elder Xuan? I remember he seemed to be here."
"In the most dangerous area of the Star Dou Great Forest, there is a Lake of Life. That guy with the silver-white hair and purple eyes just now threw you in, and the water from that Lake of Life replenished your burning life essence. Elder Xuan, I don't know either. I was brought back with you by that guy."
"You mean the one with long silver-white hair and purple eyes?"
"Yes, it's her."
"Who is she? What's the situation with that soul beast? And who is that purple-haired woman?"
Huo Yuhao was having a bit of a headache because of this series of questions. Although the Silver Dragon King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were difficult to explain, they were not impossible to explain.
He didn't know that purple-haired woman at all, just like Zhang Lexuan. How could he explain it?
After a moment of silence, Huo Yuhao couldn't remain silent. He glanced at Zhang Lexuan with a complex expression, crossed his arms, and said in a deep voice, "The one with long silver hair and purple eyes is the true ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Silver Dragon King. That soul beast is the Emperor Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. As for the purple-haired woman you asked about..."
"Sorry, I don't know him either."
Although Huo Yuhao didn't know the purple-haired woman's identity, the mere mention of the Silver Dragon King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was enough to overwhelm Zhang Lexuan; the amount of information was simply too much.
Legend has it that after the Dragon God fell, he split into two halves, one becoming the Golden Dragon King and the other the Silver Dragon King.
Huo Yuhao just said that the woman who captured them was the legendary Silver Dragon King.
Her mind was a little confused.
And what the hell is that three-eyed golden lion imperial auspicious beast?
She only remembered that the ancient secret archives said, "Where auspicious beasts are, all beasts are protected. Their status is supreme, and humans can guide them. With the protection of auspicious omens, one's future is limitless."
Zhang Lexuan let out a long sigh of relief, but the shock she felt remained undiminished. Today, she had truly witnessed a group of legendary figures.
Ok?
Zhang Lexuan touched her forehead, and a fine layer of sweat slowly seeped from her delicate skin. She belatedly felt a bit hot, and even her originally snow-white skin was slightly flushed with a peach-red hue.
"Yuhao, are you feeling a little hot?"
Zhang Lexuan turned to look at Huo Yuhao, only to find that the handsome young man was also covered in sweat, with a blush on his skin.
