really.......
This is the true aura of a Dou Sheng powerhouse. Xiao Fan had almost forgotten how the other party had acted before. In front of him was a genuine Dou Sheng powerhouse. At this stage, he had almost no means that could pose a threat to a Dou Sheng powerhouse.
"it is good."
Xiao Fan spoke calmly, and his carefree and nonchalant demeanor vanished instantly.
He understood that since Tianchi intended to be frank, it would likely involve Yueyao...
Xiao Fan's eyes narrowed; since it concerned Yueyao, he was naturally very concerned.
"Well, I'll go first. Um... tell me about the Moon Goddess mark on you. When did you get it?"
With a wave of her hand, Tianchi instantly transformed the space around Xiao Fan and her. By the time Xiao Fan realized what was happening, the two had already appeared in a picturesque place.
A stone table was placed in front of the two, with several stone benches around it. Behind it was a simple wooden house, and the courtyard was planted with many spiritual herbs. With Xiao Fan's eye as an eighth-grade alchemist, he could naturally see that many of these herbs were materials that were hard to find outside.
But here, it seems to be the least valuable.
"Please feel free to sit anywhere..."
Tianchi raised his hand slightly and sat down to the side.
Xiao Fan was not intimidated. Even if the other party was a Dou Sheng expert, he would not be scared by him.
As for Tianchi's question, a hint of reminiscence flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes before he spoke, "The first time I came into contact with it was back at Canaan Academy. I was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Yueyao gave me some medicine, and I quickly recovered. It was then that I discovered the residual energy within my body..."
As Xiao Fan recounted his story, he gradually recalled the moment he first discovered the [Power of the Moon Goddess].
That was back when I fought against Lingquan at Canaan Academy.
He was only at the Dou Ling level, and it was only by relying on the Nine Transformations of the Radiant Sun that he managed to defeat Ling Quan, who had just entered the Dou Huang level, and showed off in front of Xiao Yan. Unfortunately, he overdid it and ended up with a black screen.
When he awoke again, he already possessed the power of the Moon Goddess within him...
"Just as I thought..."
Tianchi nodded slightly upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, just as she had expected.
After all, no matter what, Yueyao is the current Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan and the Moon Goddess Envoy, so the other party is naturally qualified to appoint her.
Based on their understanding of Xiao Fan, only at that time would he have a chance to obtain the power of the Moon Goddess.
"My turn. What I want to ask is, what exactly happened to Yueyao? Is she still alive? Or rather, does her consciousness still exist?"
Xiao Fan ignored Tianchi's thoughts, placed his hands on the table, and stared intently at Tianchi. His aura was suppressed to the extreme, and even with his powerful cultivation level, his arms trembled slightly due to his concern and excitement.
"This problem..."
Tianchi's lips parted slightly as she looked at Xiao Fan's excited expression. She hesitated for a moment, feigning shyness, until she sensed the aura about to erupt from Xiao Fan before speaking: "Of course she's still alive. Besides, you've already met her once, so I believe you can guess some things yourself. However, I can tell you very clearly that she did it willingly. At least, when she returned from the Black Corner Region, she voluntarily accepted the inheritance."
Tianchi looked at Xiao Fan and spoke.
In a daze, she found that Xiao Fan's face seemed to be gradually blurring, and figures that she should have forgotten long ago reappeared before her eyes...
"I assure you, it was absolutely voluntary on her part. Having witnessed the genius of the Devouring Spirit Clan, she understands the responsibility she bears..."
"Of course, nowadays, the Xiao Clan, the Gu Clan, and the Hun Clan are producing many outstanding talents, and our Qingqing is the most dazzling genius of our Ling Clan..."
Until later, when was that?
One hundred, two hundred? Five hundred? Or a thousand years?
The snotty little thing that had always playfully called her "sister" and followed behind her has also embarked on the path of her predecessors...
"The legacy has chosen her; she is the Holy Maiden. This is the will of the Moon Goddess, something none of us can decide. Even if she is your disciple, we can only accept it..."
.........
Across the stone table, Xiao Fan naturally noticed the state of Tianchi.
But he doesn't care right now.
He got the answer he wanted!
Yueyao is still alive!
Since that's the case, he will definitely find a way to awaken Yueyao's consciousness, no matter what.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan could no longer contain his excitement. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Pool opposite him, its thoughts returning to normal, saw Xiao Fan's excited expression and couldn't help but offer some words of advice:
"I know what you're thinking, but I'm warning you, if you do anything reckless, it could lead to her real death!"
Hearing Tianchi's words, Xiao Fan suppressed his excitement, but instead spoke disdainfully:
"Ha, reckless? Stripping someone of their consciousness and taking over their body, isn't that reckless? The Spirit Race? Heh..."
Although Xiao Fan was unaware of the details, he was absolutely certain that the person currently in control of Yue Yao's body was not her.
Therefore, when facing Tianchi's persuasion, Xiao Fan naturally spoke more forcefully.
"Who told you this is depriving someone of their consciousness? Besides, how can you be sure which of her—the one from the past or the one now—is the real her?"
Tianchi suddenly spoke.
"You are unaware of the history of the Spirit Race, nor do you understand what kind of world the Spirit Realm is, so of course you can speak so grandly. But within the Spirit Realm, every living being is born with the grace of the Moon Goddess, and every intelligent race is always ready to sacrifice their lives."
"Even a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) has never refused!"
Tianchi glanced at Xiao Fan indifferently, a hint of pride unique to the Spirit Clan.
Then, Tianchi looked up at the sky, at the World Mother Tree, whose branches covered the sky and stretched across the entire world.

"I didn't come here to listen to stories."
Xiao Fan shook his head as he listened to Tianchi's words, his expression completely unconcerned.
Within the Spirit Clan, the only person he cared about was Yue Yao. Everything else, regardless of the state of the Spirit Realm or the Spirit Clan, even how many Dou Sheng or Dou Zun the Spirit Clan had, meant nothing to him.
So, listening to Tianchi's words and seeing the expression on Tianchi's face, Xiao Fan knew that there must be a story behind the other party, but he had no intention of investigating it further.
However, he didn't want his recklessness to lead to Yueyao's complete death.
So, he patiently inquired at Tianchi:
"What did you mean by 'acting recklessly could lead to Yueyao's death'?"
Tianchi glanced at Xiao Fan indifferently, then sat back down on the stone bench, tapping lightly on the stone table with his fingertips. The crisp tapping sound echoed rhythmically throughout the courtyard.
After a long pause, Tianchi finally spoke:
"The Spirit Clan... each Holy Maiden's condition is rather unique, it's uncontrollable, and our goal is for one..."
As Tianchi finished speaking, the fingers tapping the stone table stopped, and Xiao Fan realized that the two of them were already in a bright and magnificent underground space.
In the center of the underground space was a huge temple. Judging from its appearance and style, it seemed to be somewhat similar to the temple that had fallen from the sky.
On the ground surrounding the temple, countless blurry statues stood densely packed, all facing the direction of the temple.
However, the faces of these statues were all somewhat blurry, and Xiao Fan couldn't see them clearly at all.
In addition, several large murals are carved on the massive walls surrounding the temple.
A rich aura permeates the mural.
"One result..."
Just as Xiao Fan was looking around at the scenery, Tianchi's unfinished voice rang in his ears.
Xiao Fan looked at the Heavenly Pool and found that the space around them was cracking inch by inch. The next moment, they appeared in the vast underground space, and their location was in front of the first mural.
As Xiao Fan sensed the movement of the Heavenly Pool, he looked at the mural in front of him. A terrifying pressure emanated from the mural, and even with Xiao Fan's strength, he still felt a weight on his shoulder.
"With your skills, I think you should be able to see both paintings clearly..."
As Tianchi finished speaking, Xiao Fan's gaze sharpened.
The fact that even a simple mural could possess such a powerful aura piqued Xiao Fan's interest.
[Ding! Host detected to be in the ancestral land of the Spirit Clan. Quest triggered: View all five murals of the Spirit Clan. Quest reward: 200 Spirit Energy Points! 2000 Source Coins!]
[Ding! Host's location detected as special. Mission: Moon's Lament activated. Current mission progress: 1%]
Just as Xiao Fan was listening to Tian Chi's words, a hint of disdain appeared on his face, as if he was about to say, "Who do you think you are?", but the system's mechanical voice rang in his ears.
Upon hearing the system's voice, Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
"The Moon's Lament..."
The quest that was triggered upon meeting Yue Yao only began to unveil its mysterious veil after Xiao Fan had already transformed from an unknown young man into a Dou Zun powerhouse at the top of the Dou Qi Continent.
Xiao Fan initially dismissed the "painting" Tianchi mentioned, but upon hearing the system's voice, he realized that the "painting" Tianchi spoke of was probably of extraordinary origin.
After all, as long as one can read the entire mural, one can get a reward of 200 battle qi points. How could such a thing be so easy?
Calming his mind, Xiao Fan no longer hesitated and looked at the mural in front of him. The next moment, an extremely heavy pressure enveloped Xiao Fan.
Even with his strength as a second-stage Dou Zun, when he felt this terrifying pressure, he felt like an ordinary person, without any ability to resist.
But when he focused his mind again, all he could see...
The underground space, the temple, the statues... even the figure of Tianchi who had been standing by his side had all disappeared.
In his field of vision, only a huge mural remained, like a scroll painting, gradually appearing before Xiao Fan's eyes.
Xiao Fan's gaze fell on the mural.
