Chapter 1040: The Bright Moon Divine Hall

As the water quickly rose, the deck below Jian Chen no longer remained stable . It began to violently rock .

This sudden occurrence sort of surprised Jian Chen and the others . They immediately stopped drinking . Quan Youcai’s face twitched, and he instantly sobered up .

The ferry started to rock more and more violently, which made it harder and harder to keep upright . The drinking table on the deck also began to violently tremble, as various dishes crashed onto the deck .

“What’s happening? Why is the ferry suddenly rocking so violently? Are we capsizing?” Quan Youcai called out . He looked around with interest . The current situation confused him .

Yang Ling immediately became alert, and his drunkenness vanished as well . His eyes shone as he glared around, prepared for battle at any moment .

You Yue hugged Jian Chen’s arm, but she seemed calm . It was like she would be safe even if the sky collapsed as long as she was by Jian Chen’s side .

Jian Chen slowly put down his wine cup as he nonchalantly stood on the deck . He expanded his presence, which quickly reached into the water .

However, Jian Chen became surprised very quickly . Disbelief flooded his face, as he said to Quan Youcai and Yang Ling, “Leave the ferry and contact the sailors of the ship . Tell them to dock to the side immediately . ” With that, Jian Chen took to the sky with You Yue and flew a hundred meters into the air .

Although Quan Youcai and Yang Ling were completely clueless about the current situation, they needed to follow Jian Chen’s instructions . The two of them immediately ran below deck to contact the sailors . Then, they took to the sky as well and left the ferry .

Hei Yu and Hong Lian also took to the air and reached an altitude of a hundred meters from the rear of the ship . They gathered with Jian Chen, and looked down at the surface of the river .

The water of Fragrance River climbed higher and higher . It had already flowed over the banks and flooded into the distance . At this moment, the water levels alarmed all the people on the two sides . Some stronger people began to use their various abilities and climbed the trees around them .

The ferries in the center of the river also began to slowly tip and sank one by one . The sailors on the boats had all leaped off . They were currently swimming toward the banks in confusion and alarm .

Splash! Suddenly, a huge splash exploded, which created a huge ripple that was over a thousand meters wide . In that instant, a silvery-white divine hall slowly broke through the water . As it flickered with light, it surged into the sky as water surged off of it . Everything unfolded on a grand scale .

“W- what is this thing?” Quan Youcai was struck dumb . He stared at the silvery-white divine hall as it rose into the air . Shock filled his face . Yang Ling, who hovered beside him, also became wide-eyed . They could not recognize the divine hall with their current level of knowledge .

The divine hall shot into the air while emitting a hazy, silver light . A sacredness permeated the hall, as it lit up the dark night sky to the point where it seemed like daytime .

The noisy banks became quiet in that instant . Everyone stared blankly at the divine hall that was growing, as it rose into the sky . No one paid any more attention to the water that had suddenly risen .

The divine hall was a thousand meters long and several hundred meters tall . The craftsmanship was exquisite and perfect . It seemed like a flawless piece of art . The divine hall rose to an altitude of ten kilometers before it stopped . It radiated with a pressure that spread out in all directions in a blanketing manner . All the energy of the world became docile before it .

This alerted all the ancestors of the eight clans, the experts of the Zaar family, and the people of the Radiant Saint Master Union . When they raised their heads and saw the thumb-sized divine hall that hovered in the air, they immediately became interested . Without any hesitation, they all shot into the air as fast as they could and made way to the divine hall .

At the same time, many experts in various places of the continent sensed the divine hall as well . They all came out of seclusion and traveled toward the City of God .

“I never thought that there would be divine hall hidden at the bottom of Fragrance River . This is unbelievable,” Jian Chen murmured to himself as he stared at the divine hall in the air . Afterward, he charged toward it with You Yue in his arms while Hei Yu and Hong Lian followed close behind .

Quan Youcai stared at the divine hall in interest, as he said with marvel, “Looks like it’s really true that there can never be anything too strange . I never thought that a house could fly and even fly so high . This sure has broadened my horizons today . Yang Ling, let’s go up there and have a look,” Quan Youcai and Yang Ling did not fall behind either, and they tailed Jian Chen into the sky .

There were quite a few Heaven Saint Masters on the banks of the river . As such, even more Heaven Saint Masters took to the air as soon as Quan Youcai and Yang Ling followed Jian Chen . They used the energy of the world to levitate and created colorful lights that flickered in the sky . The sight was enchanting .

Jian Chen arrived at the same altitude as the divine hall with You Yue . The two of them stared fixedly at it . The four words ‘Bright Moon Divine Hall’ hung on a great big board above the main entrance .

The appearance of the divine hall had raised quite a large commotion . Figures constantly flickered through the surroundings and Saint Rulers had already arrived at the main entrance . There were a few Saint Rulers from the union and the Zaar family besides the ancestors of the eight clans . The faces of all the Saint Rulers from the eight clans were pale and haggard . Clearly, they still had not fully recovered from their self-mutilation earlier in the day .

“The Bright Moon Divine Hall . I never thought that it would actually be the Bright Moon Divine Hall,” a cry rang out from nearby . An old man in simple robes stared at the bright divine hall as all the people from the Radiant Saint Master Union gathered behind him . To no surprise, the president and grand elder were present as well .

When Jian Chen saw the old man, his eyes froze . He could not help but think back to the old man cleaning furniture . Jian Chen had initially met this man in the Radiant Saint Tower .

At that time, the old man was still a mysterious expert that Jian Chen could not see through, but now, Jian Chen could clearly see the old man’s strength . He was a Third Heavenly Layer Saint King that had just broken through .

The president sighed deeply and said, “It’s recorded that fifty thousand years ago, fairy Hao Yue was possibly the most beautiful person in the world . She also possessed unprecedented, exceptional talent . She used just two thousand years to reach the peak of Saint Emperor and was only a paper-thin margin away from surpassing Saint Emperor, but it is a pity . She failed to overcome this margin and was stuck there for over seven thousand years . In the end, she still failed to escape the limits of life and passed away in meditation helplessly and regretfully . ”

TL note: It’s a cultural thing to refer to beautiful and powerful female cultivators as 仙子 . It’s really just a female way to say the gender-neutral immortal, except Hao Yue here isn’t really immortal because she passed away . This is why I stuck with fairy, albeit a translation I dislike . Also, ‘Hao Yue’ means bright moon, so the divine hall actually has the same name as the person . I used an english translation for the divine hall since it’s more like a title, while the Hao Yue in ‘fairy Hao Yue’ is likely to be her name .

“It’s said that the cultivation method fairy Hao Yue used was extremely wondrous . It used the essence of moonlight . When cultivating at night, the whole process of absorption is clearly visible . It’s a cultivation method that surpasses the Saint Tier, and anyone who uses it to cultivate will be able to improve at astonishing speeds,” added the grand elder .

“It’s indeed mentioned in the records like that, but it’s a pity that only females can use the cultivation method,” said the president .

With that, Jian Chen’s eyes immediately lit up . He seemed to beam slightly .

At that moment, the surrounding space began to ripple violently . Space Gates appeared one after another as Saint Kings stepped out with tremendous presences . They all stared at the divine hall, gasping uncontrollably .

Jian Chen glances over all the Saint Kings, and he saw the people of the ten protector clans . Included was an expert from the Pure Heart Pavilion and one from the Changyang clan . However, Jian Chen did not know the name of the Changyang clan expert even though he had seen him before .

“I never thought that it would be the Bright Moon Divine Hall of the famed fairy Hao Yue from fifty thousand years ago . It’s said that the divine hall was built from some wondrous crystals from the moon and that the fairy spent a thousand years traversing to and fro collecting them . Not only is the divine hall extremely tough, it possesses Moonlight Force,” said a knowledgeable expert from the ten protector clans as they marveled in wonder .
