"Master, is this the origin of Moonlight City?"

The Little Princess Puppet knew that its master had received an inheritance, and now seeing the murals here, along with Yun Ran being affected earlier,

made the Little Princess Puppet feel a hint of worry.

A master who has been calmed by Qingfeng Temple’s prohibition should, theoretically, not be influenced by external things.

After thinking for a while, the Little Princess Puppet continued, "Master, the mural says that the people of the Divine Hall found a way to repair the cracks in the sky from a large rock. Perhaps that’s the Heavenly Book..."

The master came to this rift world with the purpose of finding the Heavenly Book.

The instinctive ability to predict fortune and misfortune emerged again. It vaguely felt that the Heavenly Book seemed somewhat ominous.

The Little Princess Puppet left its words unfinished, but Yun Ran, as its master, would surely understand what it meant.

The mural’s creator may not have understood, even until death, why the Divine Hall suddenly closed when everything seemed fine.

Not just him, but all the Divine Servants were expelled.

Perhaps he even suspected that other Divine Servants betrayed the Divine Hall, prompting the High Priest to hide the hall’s inheritance.

Due to various suspicions, the first City Lord of Moonlight City became overly distrustful, establishing the Guard Army, but ultimately creating a secret location independently.

Reflecting on past events, after leaving that so-called selection, they arrived here.

Now it appears that this was no coincidence, but a certainty.

There must be hidden mechanisms here, visible only to those who received the inheritance.

Those who truly know the origin of Moonlight City and the secret of the Heavenly Book.

Anyone attempting to enter forcefully without inheritance would likely be killed at the entrance by the relief sculpture on the stone pillar.

Yun Ran awakened safely, not because of her prowess, but owing to the inheritance of Moonlight City, hence unharmed.

A cold sweat of hindsight emerged from Yun Ran’s back.

Such mechanisms that identify inheritors aren’t something ordinary people can create, let alone build Moonlight City by sheer force.

From what she inherited, it requires specific bloodlines, insight, and even some degree of strength.

Others, even if accidentally encountering the inheritance, would be unable to speak due to the prohibition.

To reach this point required countless strict conditions; Yun Ran wondered whether to feel fortunate or helpless.

Now she suspected seriously that all these conditions were specifically tailored for her.

Could that legendary High Priest, the most powerful of the Divine Hall, truly foresee her arrival a millennium later?

Countless thoughts arose and were suppressed in Yun Ran’s mind.

Subsequently, Yun Ran felt deep admiration for the first City Lord who built all this.

This was merely a servant of the High Priest, yet their abilities were so extraordinary, thus it’s understandable that the High Priest was indeed the mightiest of the Divine Hall.

The Little Princess Puppet watched Yun Ran still in contemplation, emitting no sound, obediently waiting by the side.

After a while, Yun Ran calmed down.

Then she looked at the end of the mural where the first City Lord clearly wasn’t gentlehearted.

He feared his death would lead Moonlight City’s foundation to be seized by unworthy descendants or foreign enemies.

After years, he went to the legendary Giant Demon Sea Area and brought back a family of touch monsters as Moonlight City’s final resort.

If Moonlight City were ever attacked, everyone within a hundred miles would perish!

Yun Ran: ...

Indeed, the first City Lord of Moonlight City was a ruthless character!

Having previously witnessed the touch monsters, Yun Ran realized that the three tentacles seen earlier were merely minions; the true large tentacles had yet to emerge.

As Yun Ran wanted to see how the first City Lord controlled those tentacles,

the scene suddenly stopped,

leaving Yun Ran speechless, with vital information cut off, truly suspenseful!

Yun Ran seriously suspected this was intentional by the first City Lord.

Through the mural, he conveyed most information to those inheriting the legacy, yet withheld the most crucial parts.

Presumably, he feared successors might be evil-hearted, revealing his last resort would jeopardize Moonlight City.

Yun Ran pursed her lips, muttering softly, "Stingy ghost!"

However, if roles were reversed, should Qingfeng Temple need an heir to ignite its flame, she, as Qingfeng Temple’s Young Master, would do the same.

She could reveal most of Qingfeng Temple’s secrets but would take the vital controlling parts to the grave.

Like, she would never tell successors the true identity of the Ginsengfruit.

Yet she’d leave a hint for successors that if Qingfeng Temple faced adversity, the Ginsengfruit would be their ultimate reliance, much like a lifeline.

The Little Princess Puppet spoke as Yun Ran calmed down, "Master, shall we continue?"

"Let’s keep going!"

Yun Ran felt intuitively that something she desired must be below; she still lacked the final copper mirror.

Despite being enlightened in many ways now, her purpose in coming to Moonlight City was never forgotten.

Unsure how long she walked, enough for the air’s humidity to greatly increase, her legs feeling weary. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Unsure how this place ventilated, Yun Ran descended deeply without any breathing hardship.

This made Yun Ran marvel once more at the character of the Divine Hall’s servants, pondering its glory days.

Suddenly, a tinkling sound echoed.

"Master, noises are coming from the front. Seems like something’s over there."

Yun Ran not only heard but also smelled a salty sea breeze stench wafting.

Had she not known that this was beneath Moonlight City, she might’ve thought she was at the seaside.

The anomaly was clear, yet the surroundings held no dangerous aura.

This made Yun Ran uneasy, promptly halting her steps, "Stay alert!"
