Chapter 1220: Moon God Bloodline

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's question once again.

Qingcheng's expression suddenly became embarrassed, and she stammered, "I—I was also thinking that you needed to help me improve my cultivation."

Although she said this, her face was flushed, clearly feeling a bit guilty.

"Then why did you take the Magic Dress?"

The curiosity on Wang Jianqiang's face grew heavier.

"I—"

Qingcheng's expression stalled; she stuttered for a good while without being able to answer, and finally became somewhat annoyed and ashamed.

She glared at Wang Jianqiang with a face full of shyness and annoyance, "You already know, so why ask so much?"

"Are you doing this on purpose?"

As she spoke, she bit her silver teeth tightly.

She pounced toward Wang Jianqiang fiercely.

……

Although Shui Chengtian had already said there was no rush.

But Wang Jianqiang had always been a person who followed the rules; since the other party was generous, he naturally had to be open and aboveboard in his own actions.

He could not let them wait any longer.

Twenty days later.

Wang Jianqiang took out a large quantity of Primordial Spirit Origin Fragments and Artistic Conception Origin Fragments.

Qingcheng first used the Primordial Spirit Origin Fragments to raise her cultivation to the Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection, and then began to absorb the Artistic Conception Origin Fragments.

What surprised Wang Jianqiang was.

After Qingcheng reached Level 9 Artistic Conception, her Intent Power and soul-bearing capacity did not reach their limit.

They were still continuing to improve.

It was not until another transformation occurred, reaching Level 10, that the improvement stopped.

After Qingcheng finished improving her cultivation.

Wang Jianqiang thought for a moment and left with Qingcheng.

To find Shui Chengtian.

He prepared to bid farewell to Shui Chengtian after Qingcheng reported her gains.

……

Not long after.

The two saw Shui Chengtian.

As soon as he saw Qingcheng, Shui Chengtian noticed the undisguised exhaustion on her face.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Could this guy Wang Jianqiang have really chatted with Qingcheng for twenty days straight?

"Father."

"Senior."

Hearing the two speak, Shui Chengtian immediately snapped back to reality; he first nodded kindly at Qingcheng, then looked at Wang Jianqiang, the smile on his face suddenly mixed with a look of eagerness.

"Nephew is here too, please sit."

Hearing this, a flash of hesitation crossed Wang Jianqiang's face, "Senior, Qingcheng still needs to report her gains to you; should I temporarily excuse myself?"

"Isn't it being too distant for you to say that, Nephew?"

Shui Chengtian feigned reproach, then smiled, "Just sit here, it doesn't matter."

"Since that is the case, then I will listen to you, Uncle."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, sitting in the chair indicated by Shui Chengtian's arm.

"Qingcheng, you sit next to your nephew." Shui Chengtian looked at Qingcheng.

Facing Shui Chengtian's eager appearance, Qingcheng was speechless.

Following his instructions, she sat down.

Seeing this, Shui Chengtian sat in the main seat and said to Qingcheng, "Speak, what opportunities did you obtain in the Treasure Land?"

"I awakened the Moon God Bloodline," Qingcheng said.

Shui Chengtian shook his head, "I said that the ancestors forbade women from entering the Treasure Land, likely because women could not obtain opportunities there; you wouldn't listen back then."

"Now you know you were wrong, and still..."

"Hmm?"

Before Shui Chengtian finished speaking, he suddenly reacted, his expression somewhat uncertain, "What... did you just say?"

"I awakened the Moon God Bloodline," Qingcheng repeated.

Hearing Qingcheng's words, Shui Chengtian's eyes suddenly widened.

According to ancient records, when a cultivator absorbs enough Moon God power, there is a faint possibility of awakening the Moon God Bloodline.

But since ancient times, no one in the Shuiyue Divine Dynasty had ever awakened it.

Because of this, the Moon God Bloodline had almost become a beautiful legend.

Never expected...

His daughter, the first woman to break the generations-old rules of the Shuiyue Divine Dynasty and enter the Shuiyue Divine Dynasty's Treasure Land, had actually awakened the Moon God Bloodline!

"By the way, Emperor, there is one more thing I need to tell you."

Just at this moment, Qingcheng's voice came again.

"What is it?"

Shui Chengtian had not quite come to his senses, looking at Qingcheng with a slightly dazed expression.

"The Moon God Pool has dried up."

"What!!!"

As Qingcheng's voice fell once more, the dazed look on Shui Chengtian's face vanished instantly, and he jumped straight up.

Veins visibly bulged on his forehead.

"What on earth is going on? How could the vast Moon God Pool suddenly dry up?"

His voice was trembling.

The Moon God Pool was precisely the place where Moon God Power was produced.

For countless years, the Moon God Power in the Moon God Pool had always been maintained at a constant concentration.

Once it decreased, new Moon God Power would immediately emerge.

Generations of direct descendants of the Shuiyue Divine Dynasty had continuously entered the Moon God Pool, and the Moon God Power within had always surged forth in an endless stream, never having decreased by even a fraction.

How could it possibly dry up suddenly?

Qingcheng spoke, "Because the Yueshen is already dead."

The Yueshen is dead?

Shui Chengtian was stunned, "What do you mean the Yueshen is dead?"

Qingcheng's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and as if deliberating for a moment, she continued, "The Treasure Land of our Shuiyue Divine Dynasty is named the Moon God Space, and the crescent moon within it is what the Yueshen's Residual Soul transformed into."

Shui Chengtian frowned, lost in thought.

Moon God Space?

Yueshen's Residual Soul?

It was rumored that the founder of the Shuiyue Divine Dynasty, the First Imperial Lord of the Shuiyue Divine Dynasty, and the ancestor of their bloodline all flowed with the Yueshen's bloodline.

And the Treasure Land was discovered and passed down by the First Imperial Lord.

It was just that the First Imperial Lord had not told his descendants the name of the Treasure Land back then.

"After I entered the Moon God Space, nothing happened at first, but after I entered the Moon God Pool and began to absorb the Moon God Power..."

"The crescent moon in the sky suddenly transformed into the Yueshen's Residual Soul and rushed into my Spirit Sea, attempting to perform Possession on me..."

"The reason the Moon God Power in the Moon God Pool could recover was actually because the Yueshen had always been secretly replenishing it with her own power."

"After experiencing so many years of consumption, her power was already nearly exhausted."

"It was precisely because of this reason that I was able to overcome her, devour her Residual Soul and remaining power, and awaken the Moon God Bloodline."

"The Moon God Pool was maintained by the Yueshen's power; with the Yueshen's fall, the Moon God Pool naturally disappeared along with her."

"Of course, the Yueshen's power was on the verge of exhaustion; even if I hadn't entered the Moon God Space, the Moon God Pool would certainly have dried up the next time it was opened."

Although Qingcheng's tone was calm, Shui Chengtian's expression changed repeatedly after hearing her words.

He could imagine the peril involved.

But...

Why was it that so many direct descendants of the Shuiyue Divine Dynasty had entered the Treasure Land before without incident, yet only when Qingcheng entered did she encounter an attack from the Yueshen?

Could it be...

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the rule that "only male direct descendants are permitted to enter the Treasure Land."

The Moon God Space was discovered by the First Imperial Lord of the Shuiyue Divine Dynasty, and the Yueshen must have been a figure from the same era as the First Imperial Lord, or even earlier.

Perhaps, the Yueshen being trapped in the Moon God Space might even be related to the First Imperial Lord.

Coupled with that strange rule of "only male direct descendants are permitted to enter the Treasure Land"...

Could it be that Qingcheng being targeted by the Yueshen was no coincidence?

But rather...

Every woman who entered the Moon God Space and flowed with the direct bloodline of the Shuiyue Divine Dynasty would be targeted!

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly cleared.

"No wonder the ancestor set that strange rule; so that was it," he muttered to himself.

"Father has figured it out?"

Qingcheng seemed to have known this secret all along and smiled at Shui Chengtian.

"You guessed it too?" Shui Chengtian was startled.

Qingcheng shook her head, "It wasn't a guess; after I devoured the Yueshen's Residual Soul, I obtained some of her fragmented memories."

Shui Chengtian's eyes lit up, "Then do you know what kind of relationship the Yueshen had with the First Imperial Lord of the Shuiyue Divine Dynasty?"
