Chapter 541: 541: Goddess of Nature
In the Hall of Nature,
Arriving at the Hall of Nature, a golem calling himself the host of the palace introduced himself as Growler. The sudden appearance of the twin towers and humongous stone golem had stunned most of the people in the hall of nature. Moreover, when they’ve checked they’ve realized that this golem possessed Late Huashen Realm cultivation. In short, except for Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang the rest of the Huashen Cultivators are not his opponents.
The stone golem who called himself Growler looked around and saw the Moon Goddess. Meeting her eyes made him shiver as if she could crush him so easily. When his eyes landed on Grandma Su, his eye widened and immediately fell on one knee.
Seeing this sudden movement, Grandpa Xia, Yue Xuexia and even Shen Jueyang surrounded Grandma Su. This startled everyone as they didn’t expect these three to be overprotective.
However, knowing that this elven lady is the wife of the Supreme Elder of the Starfield Sect means that she is also the Moon Goddess biological grandmother. It’s only right that these guys would make a move to protect her seeing the sudden reaction from the stone golem. As for the Immortal Sun Emperor, he only followed after the Moon Goddess.
{Greetings to the daughter of Goddess Anastasia. This servant greets the Elven Goddess!} The Stone Golem Growler said as it unexpectedly lowered his head before an Early God Transformation Realm Cultivator.
The Elven Goddess, Su Hialun was startled, "You know my mother?" She asked.
After hearing the name of great grandmother Anastasia, Yue Xuexia’s guard lessened and was startled for a bit. However, the divine fan in her hand wasn’t lowered at all. She felt something even more powerful descending. Feeling the movements of trees and a tornado of flower petals about to surround them, Sword Intent covered the Moon Goddess’s Divine Fan. But before her hand was waving, Shen Jueyang hand held her to stop.
The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "She had no malice."
Only upon hearing his words that the sword intent controlled by the Moon Goddess slowly fades and a barrier made of petals appears surrounding them. This barrier completely isolated them from the outside, the stone golem also guarded them.
{Trials will be postponed for a while.}
Even though there is a lot in the crowd who is interested in knowing what is happening inside that flower barrier, there is no one who is powerful enough to fight against the golem. The only two people who can do so are also inside the barrier.
Moreover, even though the Yuanying realm cultivators didn’t notice, the Huashen realm cultivators felt it. A powerful surge of divine energy that suddenly descended in this hall. Something powerful had descended and it got something to do with the Elven Goddess from before.
The Sect Master, Xing Kunlun spoke, "I remember Shixiong saying that his wife who used to be a mortal had awakened her bloodline when she met an Ancient Elf in the Mortal Realm. Does this have to do with this Goddess Anastasia that was mentioned before?"
"However, I have heard of none called Goddess Anastasia in Cultivation Realm?" The Hidden Hermit said.
For someone like this who is the source of most information in the Cultivation Realm means that the possibility of this Goddess Anastasia existing in their realm is low.
The Buddha’s Heir said, "If it’s not in this realm then it can only be someone from beyond or maybe in the Immortal World itself."
Huashen Roushen from the Heavenly Sword Sect said, "There had been rumors saying that the Moon Goddess and her family had connections to the Immortal World or... they originally come from there."
"Not possible. My shixiong was picked up by our master when he was a baby and saw the death of his parents. He is someone born of this world."
Snorts~
The Ancient Hell Dragon which was usually ignored by everyone after he offended the Moon Goddess snorted while listening to their conversation. Clearly, as a being with inheritance from bloodline he knew more. Mythical creatures like dragons and phoenix were born originally in the higher realms.
The rest of the huashen cultivators looked at his side.
Sect Master Xing Kunlun even said, "It seems you know something different, a different opinion. How about sharing it with the group?"
"Immortals from the World of Immortals would always leave a soul fragment of theirs in the lower realm for an escape route. So if their real bodies were killed they can still relive their lives though they have to start from the beginning. Their previous life memories and experience would be passed to their lower realm self in the form of either an inheritance or something," The Ancient Hell Dragon said.
The Stone Golem who was pretending not to listen to their conversation couldn’t help but add something, "Not all immortals can do it, only those at God King realm and above can do so."
On the other hand inside the barrier, Yue Xuexia, Xia Lianyu and Su Hialun are now facing the Goddess of Nature that has descended. Tables and chairs as well as a set of tea and snacks appeared inside the barrier. What made it astonishing is that the interior wasn’t crowded as it would have expected but as if they had entered another world.
{Hello~, daughter of Anastasia and her family. I am the Goddess of Nature, Arcania. You can call me Aunt. Anastasia is my younger sister. I can feel her in you, do you have anything from Sia?}
Su Hialun was surprised to hear about the goddess of nature’s introduction. However, even though she was surprised, she didn’t believe her right away. She just stared at her without saying a word. The Goddess of Nature, Arcania, noticed this reaction and realized that she might have made the child in front of him think she was lying.
{Oh my~ forgive me. It’s hard to believe a stranger’s words out of nowhere. I am one of the World Trees in existence. My siblings are like Sia and I, we are all Tree of the worlds. The Dryad Race.}
{It might be hard to believe but... this young emperor here should see through my identity,} The Goddess of Nature, Arcania, gestured with her hand and pointed to Shen Jueyang who was seated with them on the same table. Three looked at him for answers
The Immortal Sun Emperor, Shen Jueyang nodded his head and said, "I do not know anything about the Dryad race and their connection to the World Tree. However, her identity is that not of a human but a mere seed."
{Indeed it’s impossible to hide my real form before the Immortal Sun Emperor.} The Goddess of Nature said. {My real form is not in this hall and what you are seeing right now is a mere projection of myself. If you wish to see me, come to the main altar where all the other divinities are waiting.}
{However, I wish to choose you as my successor. Is that alright?} The Nature Goddess asked which startled Su Hialun.
Before she could react, the Goddess of Nature, Arcania, had touched her forehead which instantly left an imprint of world tree on her forehead.
{I thank the two highnesses for not attacking this goddess. Let us meet again in the future.}
Before she faded, the Goddess of Nature looked at Shen Jueyang and Yue Xuexia with a gentle smile. As the Goddess left the barrier also disappeared and one can see the crest of nature on Su Hialun’s forehead. The stone golem lowered its head before the chosen one and this time because she is now the new owner of the Hall of Nature.
Growler heard everything from the Goddess of Nature and announced to the crowd, {The successor of the Goddess of Nature had been chosen. However, the Hall of Nature will still give everyone a chance to gain something within the hall.}
{In this hall, there are countless precious immortal herbs and spirit beasts. Everyone can stay in the hall for three days and gather as much herb as you can find. Of course you can also tame the spirit beasts.}
{There is an exchange stall. For every precious herb you found and surrender to us, you can exchange it for anything on this stone board.}
Everyone looked at the stone board and saw countless herbs with different points exchanged. The rare it was, the bigger the points given. There is also a large book suddenly appearing beside the twin pillars entitled as the Encyclopedias for the uncommon, rare and divine immortal herbs which shows a picture of how it looks, its uses and the points it can be exchanged with.
A divine immortal herb had a point exchanged ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 pts. There is this called resurrection herb which can be exchanged for 100,000 pts. A rare immortal herb had a point range exchange of 1,000 to 10,000 pts. As for uncommon immortal herbs it can be exchanged for 10 to 1,000 pts.
As for the list of things that can be bought with points, all kinds of pills were listed and even Longevity Pill which is rare in the Cultivation Realm can be exchanged here with 10,000 pts each. Even the Nature Goddess’ blessing can be received. 100,000 pts for a minor blessing and 500,000 pts for major blessing.
With the nature goddess blessing one’s cultivation can be enhanced when meditating within nature. You can also borrow nature’s energy to replenish or heal one’s wounds. Also with it, you will be able to have an affinity with the races that revered nature itself.
The Stone Golem, Growler, spoke, {Those at Huashen Realm can also join. However, you are not allowed to intentionally destroy the forest or I will have to eliminate you.}
