Chapter 1232: The Beautiful are Sharing their Pain

It was not just the Radiant Moon Palace. All the fresh flowers on Leaning Moon Mountain that had ever been in contact with the Moon Empress’ aura closed up and sagged.

It looked as though they were all crying.

Mystic Moon noticed this and immediately looked worried.

Cicada Song said grimly, “The beautiful are sharing their pain. The Moon Empress is too impatient! It’s not that easy to take that last step! Your lifespan decreases by five years each time you attempt it. I might be able to try it many more times, but you can’t try it a single time more.”

Initially, Mystic Moon did not think much of Cicada Song’s words. But when he heard the latter part of what Cicada Song said, his heart skipped a beat.

What did Cicada Song mean? What did he mean by the Moon Empress could not try it?

Just as Mystic Moon was about to disregard his station and ask Cicada Song what he meant, he suddenly remembered all the changes that had happened to the Moon Empress over the last decade.

These changes had left Mystic Moon shellshocked.

He had been with the Moon Empress for half a century. By now, he understood the Moon Empress even better than he understood himself.

Images from the past decade flashed through Mystic Moon’s mind, and he realized that the Moon Empress had turned into a completely different person after that incident.

Previously, she had been so unbelievably haughty, confident, and iron-willed that it almost hurt to look at her.

If you ever saw yourself as a genius, you would quickly wither in despair once you met her.

Yet, she had not done anything of note in the past decade besides accepting a disciple. Her sole focus had been increasing her power.

Mystic Moon did not think that the Moon Empress’ astounding power came from her hard work but from her incredible talent.

Her talent had enabled her to become the strongest expert in the world easily.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

Additionally, she had been focused on paving the way for Lin Yuan ever since she accepted him as her disciple.

This did not fit with the person she had been ten years ago at all.

The Moon Empress smiled ruefully and gently pushed the carrot back as she said, “Zixi, it’s no use. My soul power is completely depleted. In this state, there’s no way I can continue to put my life on the line while trying to carve out a path to that heavenly road.”

The moon imprint on the Moon Empress’ forehead gradually darkened.

She paused for a moment before adding, “My birth horoscope is set. I am fated to draw my last breath within the next five years. Zixi, this is my destiny.”

The Moon Empress stopped speaking and looked down at her slender ivory hands.

Her life thus far had been a series of breakthroughs, and she had never known the taste of failure until now.

Unfortunately, this failure would bring about the ultimate end.

At that moment, the humming of what seemed to be numerous cicadas accompanied by a gentle breeze reached the Moon Empress’ bedroom.

Each cicada seemed to be using its music to weave a world that was brimming with soul power.

As the cicadas weaved their worlds and their songs amplified their efforts, thousands of rays of light appeared beside the Moon Empress.

The bodhis started from sprouts and grew into huge trees that soon produced adlays that fell onto the Moon Empress.

Every adlay replenished the Moon Empress’ diminished soul power.

The breeze danced around the bodhi trees and soothed the Moon Empress’ riled-up spirit.

Soon, the Moon Empress’ soul power had recovered.

She closed her eyes and made a final charge toward the heavenly road in the interval before her birth horoscope was truly set in stone.

Cicada Song was currently suspended in the air as winds circled him.

A cicada that was fervently rubbing its wings together sat on his palm.

Dragon horns had grown from the top of Mystic Moon’s head, and silver patterns covered his body.

But just as he entered his battle mode, Mystic Moon was promptly wrapped up in and trapped by a torrent of wind.

Cicada Song lowered his head and said, “32 lotus heads and 23 years of cicadas. In order to help the Moon Empress, I used the Cicada’s Merciful Guidance to give 23 years of Merciful Cicada Songs to the Moon Empress. I’m sure you know of the abilities of my Cicada’s Merciful Guidance.”
