I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 466
Chapter 466: The Decision of the Moonlit Night Monarch
Within the Infinite Divine Palace of the Holy Capital.
A female enshrouded in blue divine light stood atop a Myriad God Divine Disc and looked down upon the snow maidens present, as well as the female in white who was kneeling on the ground.
“Shangguan Yi, are you willing to swear a vow and accept High Priestess Meng Zhi as your instructor?”
A cold voice which was imbued with a supreme might swept down toward the female kneeling on the ground.
In addition to that, there was also an extremely ancient and primitive intent clouding her mind.
Shangguan Yi pursed her lips tightly and gritted her teeth with an expression of determination.
She tried to defy the voice of the Great Empress with all her might, yet a sense of affinity and attachment which originated from her bloodline forced her to submit to that ancient intent.
There were twenty-eight Holy Palace Leaders standing silently beside Shangguan Yi.
During their conflict with the Vermilion Bird Sect, eight of the thirty-six Holy Palace Leaders had fallen in battle. This was a massive loss, and the Holy Glacial Lands hadn’t experienced such a crushing defeat for over ten thousand years. This battle had already shaken the foundations of the Snow Maiden Tribe.
Holy Palace Leader Mu Qing of the Ice Falcon Holy Palace wore an expectant expression as she gazed down at the female kneeling on the ground.
It was she who had discovered Shangguan Yi during that battle.
She was shocked to find that Shangguan Yi possessed the Heavenly Ice Dao Foundation, a dao foundation which was imbued with the spiritual aura of the Ice Matriarch. This made her the perfect candidate to inherit the position of High Priestess in the future!
Mu Qing had captured Shangguan Yi without hesitation before bringing her to their Great Empress.
If there was anything to rejoice about after that tragic battle, then it would be this female who she had captured.
Mu Qing was extremely thankful that her Life Substitution had failed. Otherwise, she would most definitely have been slain by that mysterious supreme being who had slain the other five Holy Palace Leaders.
Not only was she thankful for that, but she was even more thankful that she was lucky enough to capture the ideal successor the position of High Priestess. If no mishaps arose, she would probably be granted an extremely rich reward for her efforts within the next few days…
“Shangguan Yi, are you willing to swear a vow and accept High Priestess Meng Zhi as your instructor?”
The Great Empress repeated her question as the Myriad God Divine Disc below her started to rotate. Countless golden symbols started to pour into Shangguan Yi’s body. These golden symbols were a kind of extremely primal power, and they contained intent, Dao intent, and the power of blessing.
Shangguan Yi’s body shuddered, and a hint of golden light appeared in her beautiful eyes as the determination slowly melted from her face. Her determined expression was eventually replaced by an indifferent expression that was cold to the extreme.
“I hereby vow to accept High Priestess Meng Zhi as my instructor!”
Her cold voice echoed through the Infinite Divine Palace as the Myriad God Divine Disc continued to spin.
Meng Zhi was standing beside the Great Empress, and her golden eyes glimmered as a faint smile appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face.
…
Bai Hua State.
The night sky was filled with countless dazzling stars, and a particularly bright one suddenly pierced through the darkness. It left a beautiful golden trail in its wake as it crashed down into a boundless expanse of flatlands.
Boom!
The earth tremored and quaked as a wave of energy swept outward in a radius of several kilometers. Flames erupted, setting alight a vast expanse of heaven and earth.
An ethereal beauty who had long raven hair flowing down to her knees stepped out from the flames. The light of the fire reflected off her porcelain-like skin, making her appear especially gentle and alluring, as if she were the dazzling moon in the sky.
She was the Moonlit Night Monarch, and she had transformed to become a star in the sky. She stepped through the void, and she covered a distance of one and a half kilometers with each step. She reached the summit of a tall mountain in no time.
Her eyes were gentle and clear as she stared into the distance toward the direction where the Heavenly Court lay.
A few seconds later, the Moonlit Night Monarch closed her eyes again as a limitless amount of information converged into her mind.
“Let’s see what’s happened in these six hundred days I’ve been away…
“Hmm… A combat capability of only the Spirit Nurturing Stage? And a cultivation base of only the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage?
“This… Breaking through to the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage in six hundred days? What kind of pace is this? Could he be the reincarnation of some supreme figure?
“Why would the tribulation lightning for the Soul Formation Stage be Golden Void Lightning? And the lightning could take on shape and give birth too?
“Why can he also control divine lightning?”
The Moonlit Night Monarch opened her eyes, and a rare expression of confusion appeared on her face.
“This doesn’t make any sense… He stared at me for so long in the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect, and he even mused that I was a fake star. Was he hinting at something back then? Could it be that An Lin has already discovered that I’ve transformed into a star in the sky? Is he using a smokescreen to confuse me?
“It still doesn’t make sense… Why wouldn’t he target me if he’s already noticed my existence? If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to stand it if there were someone in the sky constantly spying on me… Could it be that he doesn’t care? Perhaps he never saw me as a threat in the first place?”
The Moonlit Night Monarch massaged her brows, and she felt as if a headache were forming in her head.
“No, I have to re-evaluate…
“Firstly, compiling all of his battle statistics, his combat prowess is indeed extremely powerful. However, it isn’t beyond the realm of normalcy.
“Secondly, his rate of progression might be insane, but he goes through all the ranks step by step. He doesn’t defy logic, nor does he skip a few ranks at a time.
“Thirdly, I speculate that the Golden Void Lightning that appeared during his lightning tribulation is a sign that he’s being targeted by the heavenly dao. But then what about his lightning manipulation? Could it be that he has some sort of technique to defy the heavenly dao?
“Lastly and most importantly, an incredibly fearsome power erupted from his body when he was beaten to the brink of death by those snow maidens…”
The Moonlit Night Monarch couldn’t help but shudder when she recalled that scene.
She was certain that the Dark Night Monarch had also been killed by that exact same power!
“How terrifying… His power at that time was at least that of the Dao Integration Stage, perhaps even higher…
“However, it’s not a power he can use without fail! It looks like he can only use that power for a short time, as evidenced by the fact that he was almost killed by the snow maiden’s sneak attack after his power ran out!
“I really am envious though… Envious that a female would dedicate herself to him so wholeheartedly…
“Not only that, to think that An Lin would also go so far for the female as well… Perhaps this is love…”
The Moonlit Night Monarch’s eyes shimmered as she sighed with emotion.
“Huh? No! Why the hell am I thinking about this?”
The Moonlit Night Monarch’s expression faltered, and she shook her head before continuing with her evaluation.
“I can still win! I can take advantage of the cooldown period after An Lin uses that inexplicable power to defeat him! That power can allow An Lin to regenerate to a perfect condition, but it’s also restricted by a time limit. Once that time limit passes, I’ll be able to take advantage of his debilitation to strike!
“But… my Soul Formation Stage Moon Soldiers are nowhere near powerful enough to force An Lin to the brink of death anymore. An Lin is far too powerful now, and I’ll have to deploy a Return to Void Stage supreme being to have any chance of beating him to the brink of death.
“Dammit… how is he ranking up so quickly?!
“All Return to Void Stage mighty figures are extremely powerful cultivators in their own right. Where the hell am I going to find a Return to Void Stage mighty figure that will willingly act as cannon fodder for me?!”
The Moonlit Night Monarch pursed her lips in frustration.
She took a deep breath before turning her gaze in the direction of the Heavenly Court and muttering to herself, “An Lin… how did I end up with a difficult opponent like you…
“But I won’t give up… I’ll definitely find some Return to Void Stage cannon fodder…”
A determined expression appeared on her flawlessly beautiful face.
However, the bizarre scene that had occurred at the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect suddenly flashed through her head. She shuddered involuntarily.
This star is so peculiar… It’s not a fake star, right…?
An Lin’s voice reverberated through the Moonlit Night Monarch’s mind, and she clenched her jaws tightly.
A coincidence, it must be a coincidence…
She muttered this to herself several times before tearing open a spatial rift and disappearing in pursuit of her cannon fodder.
