第五卷 天云十二州 第一千一百七十九章 月圆之夜

Lin Xuan sat cross-legged in a comfortable room, his eyes closed. He formed two mudras with his hands and placed them on his knees. His breathing was deep and long, and a faint green light surrounded him.

After a while, he took a slow breath, revealing a smile on his ordinary yet resolute face.

Just after adjusting his breath and meditating, Lin Xuan used Inner Vision to examine his entire body's meridians. In his dantian, two infants were sitting cross-legged, with the dragon-eye-sized demon nucleus floating above them.

Everything was fine; no issues at all. He felt a sense of relief.

The broken sword floated in front of him, its surface shimmering with a subtle glow, and some mysterious symbols could be faintly seen on the blade.

Lin Xuan reached out to grasp it. The symbols flashed and entered his body.

A layer of silver light enveloped his right hand as he injected more power into the artifact, making the process smoother.

After comprehending the second level of the 'Comprehensive Treasure Decree,' using this artifact would no longer drain nearly half of his spiritual energy at once. Its power had also increased significantly compared to before.

Lin Xuan's face remained calm, but he felt extremely pleased. He could now use it more confidently without relying on it as a last resort against Separation Period cultivators.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead; time was pressing, and he hadn't slept at all during this period. Still, he didn't regret the effort.

"Little Moon!" Lin Xuan softly called out, but there was no response.

He was taken aback as he withdrew his consciousness inward to find that she was sound asleep in his识海. He had worked so hard and quickly grasped the second level of the Comprehensive Treasure Decree just for her sake. She, on the other hand, left him alone while she slept.

Although Lin Xuan complained a bit, he didn't blame her; after all, he adored this little girl.

"Little Moon!"

He called out again, and the young girl finally opened her eyes, looking drowsy. Her beauty made his heart skip a beat.

"Master, what is it?" she yawned and said in a sleepy voice.

"There are some things I need to ask you."

"Mmm, Master, speak," she replied.

"Little Moon, does the Auros King's palace exist in the sky? We can only enter during the full moon." Lin Xuan asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, that is correct. Little Peach told me so when we first met; it was just a relay of information."

"How will we get there on the night of the full moon?"

Moon's expression changed as she realized he hadn't been informed about this detail. She had forgotten to ask Little Peach about it.

Lin Xuan, who knew Moon well after spending so much time with her, noticed something was amiss: "Little Moon, don't tell me you didn't know either?"

"I'm sorry, Master. I really… " Moon pouted and blushed.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel speechless; he had always been meticulous in his planning, considering every angle before acting. Yet, this little girl's actions were often confusing.

However, it was too late to blame her now. Lin Xuan sighed and comforted her gently: "Alright, Little Moon, don't worry. Since we can only enter on the night of the full moon, there will likely be some signs or omens. We'll find a way."

"Mmm," Moon nodded, looking affectionate. Master was always so considerate.

Lin Xuan continued meditating but now focused on maintaining his energy and spirit for the upcoming full moon. Time passed unnoticed.

A faint sound entered his ears, followed by an aroma that caught his attention. Lin Xuan opened his eyes to see Ouyang standing at the entrance of the room. Their gazes met, and both smiled slightly.

"Qin Xin, how do you feel? Is your body alright?" Lin Xuan asked with concern.

"Don't worry, my lord. I'm fine; my energy is restored, and all injuries have healed," Ouyang said with a gentle smile on her face.

"Mmm, that's good."

"By the way, tonight is the night of the full moon. We should be able to see the moon soon. How will we get to the Auros King's palace? Has Little Moon told you anything?"

"This… I'll know when the time comes," Lin Xuan hesitated but didn't mention that Moon was also unaware. He didn't want to hurt her feelings.

Ouyang didn't press further and followed him into the cave. There was no day or night in the river, but it was now around moonrise. The sky was dark as a canvas, and soon enough, a blood-red full moon appeared before their eyes.

Large and round, the moon's crimson hue carried an aura of bloodiness.

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and released his divine sense to examine the moon more closely. He could see some vague structures on its surface.

The Auros King's palace might be there; he didn't know where Moon had gotten this information from, but as long as it was accurate, that was all that mattered.

However, how to get up there required some thought. As Lin Xuan pondered, the ground suddenly began to tremble without any warning. His expression changed as he raised his hand and summoned the Black Dragon Armor Shield, creating a light barrier around him and Qin Xin.

"Ah, what is that?"

Lin Xuan turned to see several beams of light descending from the moon, one of which landed near them, enveloping a mountain peak.

Pieces of stone fell like rain. The beam seemed to have an irresistible force pulling it towards the blood-red moon.

Lin Xuan was taken aback but then became excited. Clearly, this beam had the ability to guide them into the Auros King's palace.

Postscript: There will be another chapter tonight. This one is a bit平淡, so I'll remove some unnecessary details and focus on the main plot—stealing the treasure from the Auros King's palace.

Thank you to all my supporters, especially Sixty-Winged Frost Spider, Purple Moonlight, Rabbit, Pavilion, and everyone who has supported me. Your encouragement makes me feel warm. The drop in subscriptions made me lose confidence for a while, affecting my state of mind.

Today wasn't going well, but I assure you that I will adjust and recover as quickly as possible to write the rest of "A Hundred Refinements." According to the outline, things will get even more exciting later on.

Please continue supporting me; I'll do my best. However, the second chapter today might be delayed, but don't worry, it will definitely come. I'm doing my best to adjust my state of mind.
