Chapter 1563 Sacrifice
Yue Chuntao exclaimed in shock. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Yun Lintian.
Meanwhile, a trace of astonishment appeared on Yue Hua's usually unwavering face. She had personally confirmed herself that Yue Hongyue was gone entirely. Not a single hair of hers was left behind. How could she still be alive?
Yue Chuntao hurriedly asked. "Where is she now?"
Yun Lintian didn't answer directly but recounted the situation from the beginning. "Back to the Azure World, there were various mythical realms created by a mysterious woman. Each mythical realm held the Beyond Heaven Relics. It was when I entered the mythical realm called Frozen Moon that I met her."
"The Red Moon God Emperor was leaving only a divine soul at that time. She had no physical body and would disappear after I took the Moon Relic away."
Yue Chuntao's expression changed. "Don't tell me she has already...?"
Yun Lintian shook his head. "Didn't I just tell you that she is still alive? I gave her a portion of the Moon Relic's power to stabilize her soul. She's currently living inside the Land of Beyond Heaven. Unfortunately, I can't open the gate to the place right now."
Yue Chuntao was relieved and suddenly thought of something. "You asked me to find those rare ingredients because of this?"
Yun Lintian nodded admittedly. "Indeed. I want to reconstruct her body."
"How is she?" Yue Hua asked after a short silence.
Yun Lintian took a deep look at Yue Hua and asked. "May I know whether Senior was the one who forced her sister to sacrifice in the past?"
Yue Chuntao subconsciously looked at Yue Hua in doubt. "What is it?"
Yun Lintian offered no explanation and waited for Yue Hua to speak.
Yue Hua slowly closed her eyes and said. "It was me."
"Why?" Yun Lintian asked.
"The two of them weren't supposed to be born as twins." Yue Hua explained. "Because of that, they had to share the moon's power, and none of them would become a God Emperor."
"At that time, the Divine Moon Clan was nothing but a relatively stronger clan in this place. If there was no God Emperor, we would cease to exist. The only way to survive was to transfer one's power to another, which would mean death for that one."
"As an elder sister, Hongyue volunteered to sacrifice herself." Yue Hua sighed and said further. "Unexpectedly, Lanyue disguised as her and sacrificed herself. It was already late when I knew it."
Yun Lintian went silent immediately upon hearing this. In fact, he should be the one who got involved in this, as a portion of Lanyue's power had become a part of the Moon. This was also why he chose to return her power to Hongyue back then.
"Lanyue? Twins?" Yue Chuntao felt extremely confused at this moment. She had never heard such a name before. Not to mention, she had never known the Red Moon Princess had a younger sister.
Yun Lintian looked at her and said. "Like you heard it. The Red Moon God Emperor had a younger sister called Yue Lanyue. They were twins."
Yue Chuntao turned to look at Yue Hua in doubt. "Why did you conceal this matter?"
Yue Hua opened her eyes, and there was a touch of pain in them. "I'm not trying to cover my action, but it's her wish. She doesn't want anyone to mention Lanyue's name again."
"Grandma... You... How could you do that?" Yue Chuntao stared at her beloved grandmother in disappointment.
Yue Hua looked at the moon in the sky and said. "You might not believe it, but the moment I opened my eyes to this world, I immediately found the goal of my life. In this life, I am nothing but a messenger of fate... All I did was for the sake of our clan and the Divine Realm."
Yue Chuntao went silent after listening to this. In fact, she knew very well how hard Yue Hua worked for the clan and the Divine Realm, but she couldn't help feeling disappointed to know that Yue Hua sacrificed Lanyue.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian fully understood Yue Hua's actions in the past. Sometimes, people needed to make sacrifices to protect the majority. Yun Lintian might choose to do the same if he had no other choices.
He took a deep breath and said. "I don't know why I can't open the gate to the Land of Beyond Heaven. I guess that I have to reach the Divine King Realm first. But you don't have to worry about Hongyue. She's living well there."
Yue Hua lowered her head and looked at Yun Lintian strangely. "The relationship between you two seems to be good."
Yue Hua also looked at Yun Lintian curiously. The fact that Yun Lintian actually called Hongyue by her name proved that they had a good relationship.
Yun Lintian didn't hide anything. "She's like a master to me. Without her, I would have died many times."
Yue Hua smiled faintly when she heard this.
"How is her personality?" Yue Chuntao asked. Yue Hongyue was no longer here when she was born, and she was rather curious about this fearsome "Red Moon Slaughterer."
"Well, she has a hot temper and always urges me to practice. I got scolded often." Yun Lintian said with an embarrassing smile.
"Oh? I thought she would be a ruthless and cold character." Yue Chuntao was surprised.
"She is definitely cold and ruthless when facing an enemy." Yun Lintian said.
He paused briefly and looked at Yue Hua. "In fact, it's not just her, but I have seen the Ancient Xia God Emperor, Xia Nongyue, as well."
Yue Hua was surprised. "Her aura has obviously disappeared from the world... Is she a part of the relics?"
Yun Lintian shook his head. "There were a few traces of her left behind. Her Moon Garden is there. And she was the one who sealed the Scarlet Soul God Emperor over there. Hence, I believe she's still alive somewhere."
"Could she be inside the Primordial God Forsaken Land?" Yue Chuntao raised her thoughts. She had visited that place before, and it was extremely vast. It was almost impossible to find someone there.
Yue Hua thought for a moment and said. "Perhaps we should visit the Ancient Xia God Realm to find out."
Yun Lintian was surprised as he asked. "It still exists?"
