Chapter 1490 - Chapter 1490 Chapter 1350 Saintess Eternal Blessing

Chapter 1490: Chapter 1350: Saintess? Eternal Blessing Chapter 1490: Chapter 1350: Saintess? Eternal Blessing “Heh, Chu Mu, tonight in Guangyue Palace, the Saintess will be bestowing the Life Blessing upon the outstanding youngsters. How about we go take a look together?” After leaving the attic, Huang Yufei immediately extended a friendly invitation to Chu Mu to join him.

Being peers, it was clear there would be many more topics to discuss, and Huang Yufei did not want to be stuck behind his father all day long, having to put on a polite and friendly front with everyone he met; it was too constraining.

“Yeah, and there are also many experts from different parts of the Struggle Land. Maybe we’ll get to see some of those who made it to the last round of the competition. It would be really lucky if we could get to know them,” Li Qingqing also started encouraging Chu Mu.

“Who is the Saintess?” asked Chu Mu, like someone who had just crawled out from a rural area, completely clueless about these matters.

“Chu Mu, are you really from Struggle Land? I’m starting to wonder if you’re from Wupan Continent,” Li Qingqing said somewhat speechlessly.

“I spend most of my time in cultivation, and I don’t know much about the outside world,” Chu Mu explained.

“It’s no surprise, the Saintess has become a protector of many people only in the past few years. I remember it was either last year or the year before when a terribly horrible plague broke out in Ke City. Every day, the death toll was multiplying, and just when people thought the plague could wipe out the entire city’s population, a woman, as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal and with the disposition of a saint, appeared. She planted many flowers throughout Ke City. The fragrance emitted by these flowers drove away the Plague Soul Beasts, making it impossible for them to survive and thus saved the people of the entire city. Since then, people have been calling her the Saintess,” Huang Yufei said excitedly.

“Also, I’ve heard many people say that where she has planted flowers, both body and mind are nourished. Ordinary people can extend their longevity, the Soul Sense of Soul Pet Masters can slowly grow, the health of Soul Pets reaches its optimal state… and she also possesses some permanent blessing abilities, which are really miraculous,” Li Qingqing interjected, clearly full of admiration for the Saintess.

“Does she wear a veil?” Chu Mu asked.

“How did you know that? Even though she wears a veil, everyone knows she must be the most beautiful woman in the world. At that time, I was just peering from the outskirts of her throng of admirers. When I felt her gaze fall over here, my whole body felt electrified, as if I had been struck by lightning. I’m sure that she saw me in the crowd…” Huang Yufei exclaimed, his eyes sparkling.

Li Qingqing rolled her eyes and said, “Huang Yufei, can you be any more shameless? You don’t need to tell everyone this; I’m already sick of hearing it!”

But Huang Yufei earnestly responded, “What I’m saying is true, she really did look at me. You don’t know how many people were there…”

Li Qingqing, not in the mood to deal with Huang Yufei’s narcissism, cheerfully took Chu Mu’s arm and said, “Come on, let’s go take a look. Maybe we’ll receive a permanent blessing.”

Chu Mu wasn’t used to such familiarity with women he didn’t know well, but he also felt that rejecting the invitation would be impolite, especially considering how much care the two Boundary Masters from their families had shown for the New Moon Land.

“Alright, let’s take a look,” Chu Mu nodded.

In fact, Chu Mu had almost guessed who this Saintess they were talking about could be.

…

Guangyue Palace was situated near the Divine Sect Divine Mountain. This palace was built entirely of white jade, and a bright, moon-shaped giant white jade hung right above its dome. When the entire Struggle City sank into deep night, the palace, adorned with moonlight and jewels, truly resembled the Moon Palace, enchanting and captivating.

Tonight, the interior and exterior of Guangyue Palace were already densely packed with countless young Soul Pet Masters, from the far-off streets to the opulent main gate of Guangyue Palace, teeming with people, leaving no space to be seen.

Permanent blessings–it was such an exhilarating matter. Receiving such blessings was akin to bestowing an additional ability upon one’s Soul Pets!

A Soul Pet’s levels could be elevated through rigorous training and enhancement by Xuan Objects, but a Soul Pet’s skills were similar to racial skills and could not be acquired through external objects. For example, the Ancient Will of the Wind-binding Spirit–this ability could not be obtained from Xuan Objects. A Wind-binding Spirit with Ancient Will would be stronger than other Wind Soul Pets in future battles of the same level.

Moreover, Zhan Ye’s ancient beast soul, Mo Ye’s Moon Coagulation, the Blood Pattern of Ye, the Phantom Armor of Wanzhao Beast, the Abnormal Life State of Zhan Ye, and so on, were all racial skills. These skills were often unrelated to levels but could significantly enhance the strength of a Soul Pet. The most typical example was Zhan Ye; it could challenge across two level classes just because it had several perfect skills.

Therefore, acquiring a permanent ability through blessings far exceeded the value of directly bestowing a Xuan Object or Immortal Item–it was immeasurable, and it was possible for someone with initially average strength to become a sought-after individual if they gained a skill that perfectly suited their Soul Pet. Such occurrences were not uncommon in the unpredictable field of Soul Pets.

Describing the current scene as a sea of people was not an overstatement. Watching the completely blocked crowd ahead and hearing these people worship the Saintess with heartfelt admiration, Chu Mu was also curious about how this woman managed to make a group of typically rational young Soul Pet Masters so fervent.

If it were not for his own eyes witnessing it, Chu Mu would have found it hard to believe that so many proud and strong individuals would put aside their usual airs, waiting here like a group of numbed attendants for the Saintess to appear. It must be for reasons beyond just a simple permanent blessing.

“How did so many people show up all at once!” Li Qingqing said, looking at the long line in front of her, clearly frustrated.

“There must be many people just joining in the excitement. The Saintess’s reputation is growing higher and higher, and many people are coming with curiosity to see her. It’s not surprising that there are so many people,” said Huang Yufei.

“Hmph, no wonder the majority are men!” Li Qingqing snorted coldly.

Chu Mu glanced over and saw that indeed, the proportion of men far exceeded that of women. It should be just as Huang Yufei said– even if they had no chance of receiving the eternal blessings, they probably still wanted to witness the Saintess’s beauty.

Just like when he was in Xiangrong City, Chu Mu had heard various tales and praise of the Empress. He was actually quite curious as to what kind of woman could garner so much support and wanted to catch a glimpse of her.

It was also like before in Wanxiang City, Yu Suo had done well in maintaining her facade, impeccable to the last. Looking at the fervent crowd before him, it was clear that anyone who dared to speak ill of her here would be loathed by both man and god.

Chu Mu had no intention to expose her either, as long as she wasn’t harming him or his loved ones.

Chu Mu’s visit this time was not really to join in the excitement. The experts participating in the Outstanding Competition should already be inside Guangyue Palace, and the person Yu Bo wanted him to confront was among them. Chu Mu had come to get a rough idea of this person’s situation to avoid going into a fight unprepared.

In addition, Chu Mu had some questions for Yu Suo.

After passing through the crowd and arriving at the stairs in front of Guangyue Palace, Li Qingqing and Huang Yufei revealed their identities, and the gatekeepers allowed them into Guangyue Palace.

When walking through the crowd, Chu Mu noticed that not all of these gathered people were worshippers– a large part were those who had benefited from the Saintess’s grace and came to express their loyal gratitude, especially the people from Ke City. Eradicating the plague was undoubtedly a lifesaver for them and their families, and this act of kindness was indeed worth such a response.

Seeing a large group of people kneeling on the ground with a mindset of repayment towards Guangyue Palace, Chu Mu actually wondered whether the plague had been orchestrated by Yu Suo.

If the plague was created by Yu Suo, this woman’s heart was incredibly cruel. And those kneeling here, completely played by her, were ironically full of sincere gratitude.

If it wasn’t her doing, then she was indeed doing a good deed, after all, an ordinary-level plague could instantly claim the lives of several million, even tens of millions of creatures. In the face of plague, life is truly fragile.

Once inside Guangyue Palace, it didn’t seem so crowded. Chu Mu followed Huang Yufei and Li Qingqing to the back garden of the Guangyue Palace, only to find that many young Soul Pet Masters were sitting on chairs woven from vines, quietly waiting for something.

“Please, take your seats,” the old housekeeper arranged for the three of them at a relatively back position.

That wasn’t surprising. Both Li Qingqing and Huang Yufei did not achieve particularly good rankings in the Outstanding Competition.

“Hey, hey, Huang Yufei, did you see that person in white clothing upfront? That must be ‘Wind Child’ Xin Xin from the Elemental Sect. Xin Xin even spoke to me before. He said I was very pretty…” Li Qingqing said excitedly, tugging at Huang Yufei’s sleeve, looking thrilled as if she had seen the man of her dreams.

Huang Yufei looked disdainful. She had just been bragging, and this woman was no different from him.

“You don’t even know who the Saintess is. I’m sure you have no clue who ‘Wind Child’ Xin Xin is?” Seeing Chu Mu’s puzzled face, Huang Yufei said with a bitter smile, “Xin Xin is one of the most powerful young disciples in the Elemental Sect. He had an exceptional performance in the Outstanding Competition. He’s called ‘Wind Child’ partly because he’s elegant and gentle, like the wind, and also because he has a unique mastery over Wind Element Soul Pets, surpassing even some of the older generation. He’s truly a rare talent on Struggle Land.”

Chu Mu nodded and said, “I only know there’s a guy named Tang Zhuo who’s pretty formidable.”

Tang Zhuo, the man Yu Bo had mentioned as his opponent for the battle.

“Tang Zhuo?” At that moment, a man sitting in front of him suddenly turned around, giving Chu Mu a fierce glare, and said, “You really don’t know how to speak. What do you mean ‘pretty formidable’? We who sit in the back probably can’t even handle his weakest Sub Pet. Don’t talk like you’re anywhere close to his level. We’re only separated from his seat by a few tens of meters, but these few tens of meters might be a divide we can never cross in our lifetimes.”

Huang Yufei immediately felt embarrassed and said, “Nie Brother, my friend has been practicing in isolation for a long time and isn’t very familiar with the outside world. He didn’t even know who the Saintess was. Please watch your words.”

The man surnamed Nie raised his eyebrows but didn’t say anything more, simply remarking, “Tang Zhuo is basically the winner of this competition. Of the 100 people here, how many can say they are his match?

After speaking, the surnamed Nie looked enviously and said, “This time, the eternal blessing is practically his for the taking.”

“Oh?” This time, it was Chu Mu’s turn to raise an eyebrow.
