Chapter 237 Comforting Words and Hope From the Heavenly Moon Goddess.
Ling Yue.
The Heavenly Moon Goddess.
A supreme member of the goddess clan who possessed a Divinity's cultivation base and was also the founder of Tranquil Moon and Sky Sect, one of the five great sects in the Upper Regions.
The woman had this fresh, white skin that was like pure milk shimmering against clean water. Her blue eyes were like sapphires glowing in the dark, drawing everyone in with their beauty. She had a slim figure, but with curves in all the right places, her hips were quite huge, and her breasts were snug in her dress, making them look like big juicy oranges.

Her lips were full and glossy, giving off a cherry-red hue, and she had a slightly broad forehead, adding to her overall facial charm.
"And who are you?" Yang Wei asked her.
Ling Yue simply smiled and walked past Yang Wei to approach Ling Meiyan. When she reached her, she gently placed a hand on Ling Meiyan's forehead and stroked it with care. Then, she arranged her colorless hair, sweeping them to the side.
It was then that Yang Wei realized something: just by Ling Yue touching Ling Meiyan, most of her spirit wounds were slowly healing.
"What?" Yang Wei exclaimed with some surprise.
Ling Yue then glanced back at him and revealed, "I'm the Heavenly Moon Goddess... Meiyan's mother."
"..."
Ling Yue continued, "I'm also a close friend of Xuanwu's, as well as his siblings, so there's no need for you to be cautious around me. I'm simply a concerned mother who came to see her daughter..." She leaned in and planted a kiss on Ling Meiyan's forehead, "...and also to pass a message to you."
Yang Wei's red eyes gradually calmed down, transforming from a sea of blood to a serene river. He took a deep breath and exhaled, releasing some of his anger. "What message?" he asked.
Ling Yue clasped her hands lightly behind her back and elegantly approached Yang Wei.
"You don't want to make an enemy of the Heavenly Court Sect right now. Both the Blood Emperor Polarity Sect and the Divine Sword Sect have tried that, and they both suffered greatly. The former lost their sect founder, and the latter was completely destroyed..."
Yang Wei was about to interject, but Ling Yue politely raised a hand to stop him.
"Look, I know you're strong, but facing off against an entire sect consisting of numerous 3rd-path cultivators and a handful of 4th-path cultivators is unwise."
The woman's soft, flawless face briefly turned grim.
"Also, there's a rumor that their sect founder will advance to the Eternal Dao Domain soon, and if he does, he could breakthrough to 5th-path cultivation... If that happens, no one in the Upper Regions will be able to contend with him, much less the Middle or Lower Regions."
Yang Wei's eyebrows shot up at this news. There was only one thing in her words that caught him off guard, "Wait, there's 5th-path cultivation?"
Ling Yue nodded once, "Of course, the paths of cultivation are infinite. For those who have reached the pinnacle of 1st-path cultivation, the Foundation Path, they not only have limitless potential but also endless paths to explore."
"I see."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Ling Yue turned back to her sick daughter.
"I may seem like a terrible mother for keeping her in the Lower Regions, but it's because Meiyan isn't ready to lead the Tranquil Moon and Sky Sect. She doesn't have the ruthlessness needed to survive in the Upper Regions, so I had to keep her here and entrust her to one of my distant descendants, Yuèhuī Ménglóng, to take care of her until she is ready."
Yang Wei replied flatly, "That doesn't make you a terrible mother."
Ling Yue looked back at Yang Wei and smiled, "Really?"
"Yes, you were doing it to protect her. Whether or not she or anyone hates you for it, won't change your reason for doing it. I don't know much about what makes a good mother, but that should at least count."
Ling Yue sat on the bed beside the painfully groaning Ling Meiyan.
"But it seems she's still quite inexperienced. Her good heart gets in the way of her making the best decisions... maybe if she had only saved the Golden Crown, she'd still be fine."
"But... can't you save them?" Yang Wei asked.
He was desperately hoping for a favorable answer.
Getting up from the bed, Ling Yue extended her slender hand and conjured a glowing golden flower.
"This is the Moon Nectar Flower. It's made by refining the divine essence formed from the luminous glow of one's inner moon. With it, you can prolong life, purify darkness, and even heal wounds to the spiritual self."
Relief washed over Yang Wei's face. "S-, so, that means you can save both of them, right?"
Ling Yue's expression turned solemn.
"R-, right?" Yang Wei pressed.
"I'm sorry, but I can only save my daughter..."
Yang Wei shook his head, trying to dispel some of his confusion and anger, "Why only save her?! Huīrán's important too, maybe not to you, but she is to me!"
Ling Yue sighed heavily and with regret, "Trust me, if I could heal that lady, I would. But when it comes to the fate of a Catalyst like Míng Huīrán, I don't have the power to directly interfere, or there will be consequences."
"No..." Yang Wei whispered, feeling stunned as his head dropped. He remembered what the Black Tortoise had said about Catalyst Worlds and Catalysts.
But to reassure him that all hope was not lost, Ling Yue floated over to him and gently placed her hand on his cheek.
"Look, all hope is not lost. Since you're from another expanse, you're an anomaly. That means the rules of karma wouldn't apply to you in this situation. If you can find a way to save her from what is meant to be certain death, I don't believe there'll be any penalties."
"And how do I do that?" Yang Wei asked, hoping for any answer at all.
The woman frowned, "That... I don't know, but I'm sure a solution will present itself."
With the Moon Nectar Flower in hand, Ling Yue returned to Ling Meiyan and gently placed the flower into her chest. As this happened, Ling Meiyan's entire body began to emit a seven-colored light of heavenly brilliance, and soon the spirit wounds were disappearing even faster.
Ling Yue glanced back at Yang Wei, "I must leave now, but I'll leave you with an important piece of information."
"What's that?"
The woman went on to explain.
"The Moon Nectar Flower is created by refining the light from one's inner moon. But to do that, one must first cultivate the Tranquil Moon and Tranquil Sky Incantation. By refining the divine Qi of the Nine Divine Heavens, one can create a moon and a vast sky within oneself. It's a cultivation technique I created countless eons ago, and it requires only an Immortal cultivation base.
If one cultivates it to the ninth level, they can break into the Divine Realm."
It sounded like a powerful technique, but Yang Wei didn't seem impressed for one reason, "What's the point of telling me about it when I'm not even at the peak of 1st-path cultivation?"
Ling Yue sighed, clearly annoyed at his negativity, even though she understood his frustrations.
She approached him.
"I gave Ménglóng a scroll that teaches the Tranquil Moon and Tranquil Sky Incantation, so she could cultivate it when she was ready. However, she passed it on to another cultivator who was already a Quasi-4th-Path Cultivator at the time, and they fused it with another technique to create a superior variation."
Some hope sparkled in Yang Wei's eyes, "That means..."
Ling Yue nodded, "Yes. If you can find that person, there's a chance you can save Míng Huīrán, because much like you, the karma of the world barely applies to her."
"And how's that possible?"
"She's on very good terms with the Quintessential Emperor of Fate."
Now, Yang Wei felt there was a way out of this.
