Chapter 526: 526: Hall of Water’s Trial (11)
After punishing the Ancient Hell Dragon who doesn’t hold his tongue well, Yue Xuexia glanced at the direction of Long Heiyu who had caused the scene and everyone had stepped away from him like a jinx. This young dragon didn’t expect that his father would lose his horns for saying taunting words towards the Moon Goddess. What made it worse is that no one had expected that it was the Moon Goddess who made the move herself and that his father was hopeless towards her. This shows that her cultivation is most likely similar or close to the immortal who allowed them in this dungeon.
So when he met her gaze he instantly lowered his head under the pressure only he could feel.
Yue Xuexia said, "I brought Yue Huashui. But this child is not human but my contracted Plant Spirit. Who told you only to be as strong as him? Is it my fault that you are on the same level of cultivation of a sentient flower?"
"He cannot be counted as a chosen one as he is a part of my abilities. Aren’t you ashamed that your cultivation is similar to this Empress’ plant spirit? Complaint only when you have enough proof to back you up."
These words were meant to embarrass the proud little dragon. As she cannot directly punish the brat with his spoken words at all.
Shen Jueyang spoke, "If you have sentient creatures with enough intelligence I shall also allow them to join the trial. On the premises that their actions will be considered yours if something happens."
Silence
A sudden silence descended in the area and no one had responded. They weren’t as powerful as the Moon Goddess who possessed a sentient being like this Lotus Flower Spirit called Yue Huashui. That’s how rare beings that gain sentience exist. No one would have expected that Yue Xuexia before them possessed more than one.
The punishment on the Ancient Hell Dragon, Long Heishi, left the dragon race in an embarrassing state. If not for the young Hell Dragon, Long Heiyu’s taunting words, Long Heishi wouldn’t have spoken as well. Some dragons, especially the evil ones, could hold back their tongues.
Normally, it would be alright as beings stronger than the dragon race are rare. Plus, this race had always been arrogant by nature. It was just that they had kicked an iron plate called the Moon Goddess this time. Even the souls of the fallen gods who were watching the trial were dumbfounded.
They only knew the old Moon Goddess who was known as the weakest willed Celestial God in the Immortal World. Her personality is soft and she couldn’t even speak for herself. She is also known as a love brain person who only has the Immortal Sun Emperor in her eyes. A foolish goddess who only has love in her brain.
Those souls of the gods, goddesses and divinities were watching the scene for fun. They expected the Moon Goddess to be embarrassed by the Ancient Hell Dragon and be saved by the Immortal Sun Emperor as it had always been.
But what unfolds before them is the complete opposite. Not only did the Immortal Sun Emperor look nervous, some of the human Huashen cultivators were nervous as well. After all, what Long Heishi had spouted was beyond the tolerable range. The women in the area were especially pissed by his words as well.
So when the moon goddess suddenly appeared in front of the Ancient Hell Dragon and pulled out his horn everyone was flabbergasted. This is especially true for the souls of the gods, goddesses and divinity watching the trials of the Hall of Water.
They were all watching from the Grand Altars of the Gods and were dumbfounded by the scene.
The God of Wind exclaimed, "Who in the world said that the Moon Goddess had a weak personality and would retaliate despite her cultivation being a Peak Huashen Realm? She just fucked up that Dragon!?"
"Who the hell is this Moon Goddess? The Moon Empress I know is not like this," the Dragon God in the grand altar said.
The Goddess of Water had spoken. She said, "Didn’t they say that the Moon Goddess had been killed by the Fairy Queen, Titania Ambrosia?!"
"Then this must be her reincarnation. However, can one change this much after being reincarnated? Did the Moon Goddess reincarnate without her previous life memories? If so this reaction might be normal," the God of Wisdom said while touching his beard.
The God of Shura had spoken, "I had heard some rumors before... that the Moon Goddess’s soul had split during her ascension to God King Realm. That’s why among the celestials she is among the weakest. Had she found a part of her soul in this Exiled Star."
"Maybe... If so... It is only right for her personality to completely change like who that cold hearted Immortal Sun God changed. Seeing how much he is protecting her, the God of Sun... he must have fallen for her in this timeline," the God of Light said.
The God of Death had spoken, "Then he is out of luck. I am seeing it correctly... This Goddess of the Moon... Her heart is sealed by the laws of the Heavenly Dao. There is no way she will fall in love with him in this timeline. Hehe~"
"Sigh~ Serves him right. Didn’t he know how much that child loved him before. Now it’s his turn to feel what she had undergone that whole time," the Goddess of Nature said.
The God of Sea yawns as he watches the scene on the water screen the Goddess of Water had created and connected to her hall.
He said, "This is quite a fun scene. It’s a good thing I woke up on time. Kakaka~"

Back to the Hall of Water
The young Hell Dragon who had lost face had walked away without a care for the others and jumped into the water with the other dragon that followed him. Since he had already accepted the mission he could leave as he wished and the other dragon only followed after taking his own mission. Long Heiyu was thoroughly embarrassed by this event and even caused harm to his own father.
For a dragon to lose his horn is no different from him losing his authority. The horns of the dragon is their source of strength. The larger it is, the more powerful a dragon is. Now that his horns had been pulled out from his original realm of Mid Huashen Realm he had fallen to Low Huashen Realm.
He is regretting why he had opened his mouth and spouted such nonsense that caused him to end up like this. Moreover, there is no one who is willing to side with him and most of the Goddess were giving him glances as if he deserved it. So gods didn’t want to get involved with him as they are afraid not only for the Moon Goddess to think low of them as well.
But also because of the Immortal Sun Emperor who was watching the fun with a taunting smile. In Shen Jueyang’s eyes, he felt that Long Heishi deserved it. Who told him to speak those rude words which is no different from sexual harassment at the Moon Goddess, Yue Xuexia.
The process of accepting the Intermediate Trial had proceeded well but for some reason the group of Xia Baiyu, Yue Huashui, Xing Suiri, and the two monks, Hu Ren and Hu Gu were still talking to one another. It seems that Xia Baiyu had proposed something in the group that’s why there is sudden hesitation.
Covered by an isolation barrier, Xia Baiyu told his plans to the group. The reaction of the group members is as follows:
Monk Hu Gu exclaimed, "You want to accept both the intermediate and the Major Trial?! Have you lost your damn mind!?"
Pak!
His bald head was struck by his own senior brother, Monk Hu Ren who said, "Watch your words. Do you want to end up like Long Heiyu? There must be another reason why Benefactor Xia had proposed this plan. Listen to him first."
"Tell us the reason why you wanted to do such a dangerous plan. I will not easily accept it if you don’t tell me what you have seen," said Xing Suiri.
Xia Baiyu noticed that the bored Yue Huashui had sneaked out of the barrier but everyone left him be. After all, for a child like him to listen to the discussion of the adults is impossible.
A smile slipped at the corner of Xia Baiyu’s lips when he saw the boy running towards the area where the Hidden Tan Clan and the Snow Clan are.
Only then did he give the answer to the three in front of him.
"The reason for accepting both trials is simple. There are no stone boards in the mermaid clan’s nest and... We are entitled to stay there for half a year and couldn’t return to the surface until then. There will be an underwater storm appearing outside the mermaid clan’s nest which prevents us from resurfacing. That’s why it’s impossible to take the Major Trial once we arrive in the nest of the mermaids," said Xia Baiyu.
The three finally understood the reason why Xia Biayu proposed to accept the two trials and make it a linked trial instead. After all, if they failed to accept the Major trial there is no way they can accept the inheritance trial as well.
Monk Hu Ren spoke, "However, even if we accept the two trials, completing the Major Trial with just five of us is impossible."
"Don’t worry that Shuishui will resolve that problem for us," said Xia Baiyu.
