Chapter 858: The Moon Wheel Banquet, Lady Leng of the Lunar Palace Sect, Planet Zi’s Fourth Seat

The date of the Moon Wheel Secret Realm’s opening was getting closer and closer.

During that time, more people arrived at the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom. There were even a few rarely-seen Immortal Progenies among them.

“The Moon Wheel Secret Realm possesses a spirit of its own. This spirit is extraordinary as it likes to listen to people reciting poems. Those that can come up with the best poems will receive the most Moonlight…”

Inside the city hall, Tang Haitang was telling Chu Kuangren about the Moon Wheel Secret Realm. Chu Kuangren revealed a surprised look as he listened.

‘It’s not that surprising for a secret realm to have its own spirit.’

‘Just like a Living Planet that has its Heavenly Dao, it’s possible for a Universe Secret Realm to give birth to a spiritual body too.’

‘But this secret realm spirit likes listening to people reciting poems, huh?’

‘That’s interesting.’

“The Moon Wheel Secret Realm will open in a few more days. When that time comes, everyone will gather and attend the Moon Wheel Banquet. In that event, the sky-pride of every orthodoxy will most probably rack their brains to come up with a good poem. Everyone will be aiming to be the best.”

Tang Haitang said with a smile.

“Can’t we find someone to write a poem for us?”

“No, only by creating a poem on the spot and reciting it will we get to resonate with the Moon Wheel Secret Realm’s spirit.”

“By the way, do you understand poetry, Brother Chu?”

Tang Haitang asked curiously.

“More or less, I suppose.”

Chu Kuangren replied.

He might not know a single thing about writing poetry.

However, he knew how to memorize poems. After all, the country where he lived back in his previous life was a place where literature flourished.

He had memorized a ton of poems ever since he was a child.

“Alright.”

Tang Haitang nodded.

She did not have much hope for him. From what she could tell, Chu Kuangren must have spent most of his time and efforts in his cultivation.

A few days later, the Moon Wheel Banquet began.

A tall platform was set up in the center of the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom.

The tall platform was extremely wide, with hundreds of meters in length and width. It was the place where the Moon Wheel Banquet would be held.

It was hence named the Moon Gazing Platform.

When the night fell, people gradually came to the Moon Gazing Platform.

“Look, that’s the Young Master of the Lin clan.”

“Besides the Lin clan’s Young Master, the Daoist of the Yin Divinity Sect is here as well. Word says that he has become a Heavenly Imperial at such a young age.”

“Hey, she’s here! It’s Lady Leng of the Lunar Palace Sect!”

At that time, someone exclaimed from the crowd.

A cold sword ray with moonlight surrounding it then swooped in from the skies, vaguely revealing a graceful figure within it.

Then, the sword ray dispersed and turned into a woman.

She had a delicate face, a slender figure, and wore a long light-blue dress. Her hair was as silky as a waterfall, and her skin was as white as snow, making her look like a fairy.

The Lunar Palace Sect was an orthodoxy on par with the Wang clan in the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom.

The only difference was that the Wang clan was an aristocratic family, and the Lunar Palace Sect, on the other hand, was a cultivation orthodoxy.

As for Lady Leng, she was the most distinguished female cultivator from the Lunar Palace Sect. She was, apparently, more powerful than almost every younger generation cultivator in the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom.

As such, she was known as the most powerful person beneath an Immortal Progeny’s level.

Besides that, Lady Leng was also quite talented in poetry, having once created a whole poem in just a walk of eight steps, stunning everyone in the world of literature.

She would always take part in the Moon Wheel Banquet, and she was the most outstanding person there every time.

“Greetings, Lady Leng.”

“It’s been a while, Lady Leng. Good to see that you’re still looking as gorgeous as usual.”

“I wonder what kind of poem Lady Leng will create during the Moon Wheel Banquet this time. I can’t wait to hear it from her.”

“That’s right…”

Everyone came forward and started flattering her.

Lady Leng smiled and remained calm.

She had long gotten used to those flattering compliments.

“Even the Wang clan’s heir is here.”

At that moment, a young man walked over from afar. Another man in gorgeous purple robes was with him too.

That man was handsome, tall, and had a noble air around him.

Everyone could not help but exclaim in shock.

“Wait, isn’t that… The Fourth Seat of Planet Zi, the Immortal Progeny, Zi Ying!”

“What? Planet Zi’s Immortal Progeny?”

Everyone gasped upon learning who the young man beside Wang Hang was. They all looked at him with shock and amazement.

An Immortal Progeny. The Ancient Godly City has not produced an Immortal Progeny yet.

No matter where an Immortal Progeny, they would always become the center of attention, let alone Zi Ying, the Fourth Seat of Planet Zi.

Even Lady Leng could not help but check him out.

“With the Immortal Progeny of Planet Zi here, the Moon Wheel Banquet will surely be more interesting.”

“That’s right. Greetings, I’m Lin Dong of the Lin clan.”

“I’m the head of the Li clan. Nice to meet you.”

Everyone quickly went to greet Zi Ying.

By then, Lady Leng was left behind and ignored by everyone.

Although Lady Leng was remarkable in her own way, she was just the most powerful person below an Immortal Progeny’s level. On the other hand, Zi Ying was a real Immortal Progeny.

“Brother Zi Ying, allow me to introduce you. This is Lady Leng from the Ancient Godly City’s Lunar Palace Sect.” When Wang Hang brought Zi Ying to meet Lady Leng, her face was blushing with happiness.

After all, not everyone could be friends with an Immortal Progeny.

Zi Ying also looked surprised to see Lady Leng. Then, he nodded gently. “Nice to meet you, Lady Leng.”

“The pleasure’s all mine, Brother Zi Ying.”

“Ha! I forgot to mention, Brother Zi Ying, besides having incredible talents in cultivation, Lady Leng is very skilled in literature too.”

“Oh, is that so?” Zi Ying was shocked.

“I heard Brother Zi Ying is the best in literature in Planet Zi. I’m afraid my skills pale in comparison to yours.”

Lady Leng smiled.

She had heard rumors that other than being Planet Zi’s Fourth Seat, Zi Ying was also the most talented person in Planet Zi’s literary world.

“Ha! You flatter me, Lady Leng.”

The few of them continued chatting.

Zi Ying felt increasingly delighted the more he looked at Lady Leng. Deep down, he was already hoping that something would happen between them soon.

A talented woman like her and a talented man like him would be a match made in heaven.

If word were to spread about them, their reputation would also increase.

Lady Leng also noticed Zi Ying’s interest in her. However, she did not express her rejection. After all, he was an Immortal Progeny. If she could build a connection with him, it might bring her a lot of benefits in her cultivation progress in the future.

Everyone could not help but become amazed at that.

Lady Leng had always behaved coldly in front of them, yet she was now so submissive before the Immortal Progeny.

Sure enough, a person’s background mattered.

Suddenly, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd.

“Who is this young man? He’s so handsome.”

“When did someone like him appear in our Ancient Godly City?”

“Look beside him, guys. The city lord’s daughter is with him as well.”

Zi Ying, Wang Hang, and Lady Leng also looked towards them.

A path was soon made open through the crowd. At the end of the path were a man and a woman.

The woman was the daughter of the city lord.

The man was dressed in gorgeous white robes, with a long white-jaded sword hanging from his waist. His appearance was so handsome. It looked as if an otherworldly Immortal had descended upon everyone.

Every female cultivator was dazzled and mesmerized by his looks.

Even Lady Leng’s eyes lit up upon seeing him.

Meanwhile, the male cultivators looked at him with envy and jealousy on their faces.

“It’s him.”

Wang Hang’s face immediately turned grim.

He still remembered the humiliation during that auction like it was yesterday.

“Brother Zi Ying, that’s the guy I was talking about. He’s the one that got the Purple Source Metal,” said Wang Hang to Zi Ying beside him.

Zi Ying’s look changed upon hearing that.. “So the Purple Source Metal fell into the hands of this guy, huh?”
