Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Deity’s Pet_1

Of course, in Wu Xiang’s view, the Holy Son’s strength and talent were visible.

But Ling Xiao, he couldn’t see through at all.

He had wanted to discern just how far Ling Xiao had progressed many times, yet his vision was always hazy as if he could see nothing clearly.

What secret did Ling Xiao exactly have?

Even he was getting a bit curious now.

However, it was merely curiosity. He believed that with the relationship between him and Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao would definitely tell him when the time was right.

After leaving from Wu Xiang’s place, Ling Xiao went to see the Moon Lady.

When he got there, he found the Moon Lady reading a book that seemed to have been through many years.

"Sister Moon, when did you become so studious?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"This is a book I only recently obtained. It provides what could be considered a detailed definition of the Three Teachings and the Nine Orders, would you like to know about it?"

The Moon Lady said.

"Is it the ranking of Sects, something that was only used in the Ancient Era, is it still used now?"

Ling Xiao asked with confusion.

"Of course, it is still used. It’s just that the Sects of the Heavenly Dragon Continent are too inferior in strength, so you might not be very clear about it."

The Moon Lady answered.

"Inferior in strength? Sister Moon, don’t tell me that there isn’t even a ninth-rate Sect on this Heavenly Dragon Continent?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

He seemed to remember hearing that although the Moon Hua Sect was a lower-tier Sect, it could still be considered within the ranks of the ninth-rate Sects. How come it doesn’t count when it comes to the Moon Lady?

"There might be some, the Heavenly King Sect barely qualifies as a ninth-rate Sect, and the Jade Water Divine Palace can also reach this level, as for the other ten Sects, there’s no chance at all."

The Moon Lady replied.

"That exaggerated, huh!"

Ling Xiao was truly stunned.

The Three Teachings and the Nine Orders, and on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, there were only two Sects that might reach the ninth order, that’s too shabby.

"I have been asleep for so many years, indeed many things have happened. The Heavenly Dragon Continent is really declining, but fortunately, the advent of the Mountain and River Martial Soul has reawakened this continent. I hope it will get better and better in the future."

The Moon Lady sighed.

"Sister Moon, what exactly are the specific criteria of the Three Teachings and the Nine Orders? Isn’t it recorded in the book?"

Ling Xiao was very interested in this.

"The book’s records are also vague in wording, but based on the text, I can infer the general requirements for a ninth-rate Sect."

The Moon Lady thought for a moment and said, "First of all, there must be at least one powerful individual in the Cave Heaven Realm, and also at least three experts at the Half-step Cave Sky Realm. Lastly, there must be at least a hundred Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.

These are the most basic requirements, and there are also requirements in terms of Martial Arts and economy, which I am not very clear about."

"Tsk tsk, if we don’t count you, Sister Moon, Moon Hua Sect is indeed far off. While there is one in the Cave Heaven Realm, there are no experts even close to the Half-step Cave Sky Realm, and there are less than twenty in the Heavenly Realm Martial Artists. Indeed, not even ninth-rate."

Ling Xiao could not help clicking his tongue.

"Yes, and that’s just the military force, not to mention the other aspects."

The Moon Lady nodded.

"Alas, if Moon Hua Sect is considered lower-tier, then my Divine Sword Sect is even less worth mentioning."

Ling Xiao sighed inwardly and took the book from the Moon Lady’s hands to glance at; he discovered that aside from the Sect rankings, it also contained some mythological stories.

These stories might not be true, but they must have their origins.

According to the book, the Mysterious World is one of the trillion worlds governed by the deities.

In the eyes of the gods, the Mysterious World might just be a speck of dust, a droplet of water, a very inconspicuous single-celled organism.

A world in a grain of dust, a heaven and earth in a droplet of water!

The book also says that when the Mysterious World was first born, it was in a state of chaos, with no living beings in existence.

Later, a deity came to this world, found it too desolate, and thus created the Primordial Giant Beasts.

Among them, the Dragon Clan was the most successful.

The Dragon Emperor and the Nine Great Dragon Kings were initially just guardians of this deity’s home.

After doing all this, he left, and the book refers to him as the "Beast God".

Then, a pair of siblings arrived.

They found that the Primordial Giant Beasts of the Mysterious World were too ferocious and unfriendly, so the brother displayed his Divine Power, creating plants and earning the title "Nature God".

The sister saved a weak tribe and taught them the ways of Martial Arts, which later became humanity. Thus, the sister was also known as the "Human God".

However, the Mysterious World was just a stopping point on their journey, and they soon left.

After that, the Mysterious World began its own development, with humans being relentlessly pursued by the Primordial Giant Beasts, nearly to the brink of extinction.

That’s when the King of People appeared.

As the book states, the King of People was not a deity, but he indeed came from another world. He created the method of cultivating Martial Souls and established a systematic foundation for Martial Arts with his subordinates.

Humans became much stronger.

Under his leadership, humans overcame the Primordial Giant Beasts.

Later came the invasion of the Outer Clan, and humans and the Primordial Giant Beasts faced the threat of extinction once again.

This time the losses were too great. Even though they drove off the Outer Clan, the King of People mysteriously disappeared, the Twelve Immortals died tragically on the battlefield, and the Nine Great Dragon Kings were also killed by the Outer Clan.

Human Martial Arts fell into a state of incompleteness.

The Primordial Giant Beasts fell into a deep slumber.

The reason the Mysterious World split into thirteen lands was the tremendous force accumulated from that battle, which triggered a terrible earthquake, causing significant displacement of the oceanic plates.

Ling Xiao is basically aware of the subsequent history; for the most part, people on the thirteen lands had little contact with one another.

Not until the appearance of the True Demon Empire did everything fundamentally change.

And then there’s the current situation.

The later in the book, the more detailed and real the records become, while the accounts of the Ancient Era contain elements of speculation and myth.

But it can’t be denied as entirely false, because in the Mysterious World, there are also Martial Artists who enjoy adventure and archeology, and they have obtained substantial corroborative evidence to prove that the events recorded in the book are true.

If all of that is true, then what is the Heavenly Dragon Continent?

What is the Mysterious World?

A grain among trillions of dust?

A drop among trillions of water droplets?

A world that the deities can destroy at any moment?

This is too terrifying!

Ling Xiao shook his head. Although these thoughts were frightening, they seemed to have little significance for Ling Xiao at his current stage.

The only thing he could do now was to become stronger!

To continue becoming stronger!

First to step out of the Heavenly Dragon Continent. Perhaps upon reaching the Divine Phoenix Continent, he might discover even more secrets.

"So it seems, the Nine Great Ancient Dragon King Martial Spirits are actually just the pets of the deities, huh? The origin of the Mountain and River Martial Soul is a bit mysterious though. It’s very possible that the King of People came from outside the Mysterious World and doesn’t belong to it."

No wonder the Mountain and River Martial Soul can easily consume and transform the Ancient Hell Dragon Martial Spirit.

As Ling Xiao pondered, the Little Butterfly within the Mountain and River Martial Soul gently flapped its wings.
