80: Moon Lord

The monster before him was over three hundred meters tall, covered in red fur.

Its physique resembled a Qilin, a Divine Beast from Chinese mythology.

Just the aura it emitted made Zhang Sheng feel a trembling from his very Soul.

His survival instinct told him not to act rashly; being imprisoned here must be related to the monster before him.

Zhang Sheng had Cultivated the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex and clearly knew that the life level of the monster before him was far above his own.

To be more precise, the two were simply not life forms of the same dimension.

Cold sweat slowly dripped down Zhang Sheng's cheek.

"Senior, I wonder what instructions you have for bringing this Junior here?" Zhang Sheng lowered his head and said respectfully.

"Hehe, Zhang Sheng, you need not be afraid."

Zhang Sheng's heart was in turmoil, filled with shock.

Why did this monster know his name? And Zhang Sheng was certain that the monster had not made any sound, but was communicating directly using Divine Sense.

As if knowing the panic and anxiety in Zhang Sheng's heart,

"You should know that under the reflection of Divine Sense, all things can be known. With the power of my Divine Sense, everything happening on the planet you are on, which is Earth, is naturally within my grasp."

"Compared to Senior, I, Zhang Sheng, am but an ant or a mayfly. I hope Senior will forgive this Junior's ignorance," Zhang Sheng said respectfully.

"Do not be afraid. I am not like those Yao Beasts in the Secret Realm. As for my identity, you may call me—Moon Venerable."

"Moon Venerable!"

Zhang Sheng did not know the meaning of this title, but the character 'Venerable' held extraordinary significance. Most importantly, the monster before him seemed to have nothing to do with Yao Beasts.

"The reason I brought you here concerns my master's Legacy."

"Earth is not a truly primitive civilization, but contains my master's painstaking efforts."

"The reasons for this, I cannot tell you today. In the future, if you reach that step, you will naturally know."

"I have guarded the Moon Star for hundreds of millions of years just to observe the development and changes of Earth's life. It is impossible to let others pick the peaches at this time!"

"Therefore, I brought you here to have you accept my master's Legacy!"

Zhang Sheng did not understand what Moon Venerable meant, but he understood the two important words: Legacy!

At least it didn't want his life.

For such a powerhouse to take his life would be but a thought, but it seemed his worry was a bit superfluous.

"Moon Venerable, I do not know how I should accept your master's Legacy?" Zhang Sheng asked.

"Hehe! Actually, you have already accepted part of the master's Legacy!"

"Otherwise, why do you think a mere trial Secret Realm of a nascent civilization would have a Cultivation Technique like the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Codex'?"

"The Nine Tribulations Secret Codex is one of my master's supreme Legacies!"

"It is a Body Refining Cultivation Technique that even supreme powerhouses of the True God Realm would covet!"

"Your so-called blue moon, Apocalypse Star, is merely one of the hundreds of millions of projections of the myriad worlds pearl. Inserting 'dry goods' into such a weak Secret Realm born from a projection is not difficult for me."

"At this very moment, I have brought you to the Moon Core and have been shielding his perception the entire time."

"I have observed countless Talent Awakenings on Earth, and I passed this Cultivation Technique to the four people most likely to succeed in Cultivating it!"

"Two of them died in the first life-death cycle, the second died in the third life-death cycle, and only you have survived."

Zhang Sheng secretly rejoiced that he had luckily awakened the "Once Certified, Forever Certified" Talent and used a loophole to Cultivate this Cultivation Technique to the Transcendent Realm.

"Although I do not know what Origin Law you obtained or what Talent you awakened, it should be quite good."

Zhang Sheng realized then that there were things this Senior did not know; he was not clear about what Talent he had awakened.

And the Talent he had awakened seemed related to the so-called Origin Law.

"You can fly in space, so you must have already Cultivated this Body Refining Cultivation Technique to Foundation Establishment Perfection, having experienced nine lives and nine deaths!"

"This shows that your Cultivation Talent is extremely strong, and you are qualified to accept the Legacy left by my master!"

"My master left two Legacies with me. One of them is the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Codex'. All information is within your Sea of Consciousness. With your current Mental Energy, you can only see the first three layers."

"Foundation Establishment Realm, Qi Sea Realm, Divine Breath Realm!"

"When your Mental Energy is strong enough, you will naturally comprehend the subsequent Cultivation Techniques. And what I am about to give you now is the other Legacy!"

"Zhang Sheng, listen carefully!"

"I ask you, are you willing to accept my master's Legacy?" Moon Venerable asked.

"Moon Venerable Senior, I do not know who your master is. If I do not accept, what will happen?" Zhang Sheng asked.

"My master's name cannot be spoken. This Universe already has a master. Saying my master's name might be noticed by that person."

"Although the master of this Universe is not an enemy of my master, letting him know that I am poaching is ultimately not good."

"If you do not accept, there is only one result, and that is death!"

"I accept!"

"I accept! I accept! I accept!" Zhang Sheng said hastily, fearing Moon Venerable hadn't heard, and deliberately emphasized it a few times.

"Hahaha! Very good!"

"In the future, if you achieve success in your Cultivation, you will naturally know my master's name!"

A streak of chaotic grey light flew out from Moon Venerable's huge head and entered Zhang Sheng's niwan palace, floating above his Sea of Consciousness.

The chaotic grey light on the Sea of Consciousness slowly merged into the grey mist of the Sea of Consciousness and disappeared.

It was no different from before.

"This Legacy will naturally manifest when your Realm is sufficient. At that time, you will also be able to recall everything from today."

What did that mean?

"The myriad worlds pearl is, after all, an Origin Dao Treasure of that person. Even though it is only a projection, it contains a trace of the power of the Lord of the Universe."

"I used means to send the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Codex' into the trial Secret Realm. There are countless Body Refining Cultivation Techniques in the Universe, and many with the same name."

"You obtained this Cultivation Technique through the Secret Realm, so it has a reasonable Origin. But the Cultivation Technique hidden in your Sea of Consciousness is extremely special and cannot be displayed in the slightest."

"Later, I will also completely erase your memory of coming here! Only in this way can it be foolproof."

"Zhang Sheng, it is time for you to go!"

"Wait! Senior Moon."

"There is a saying on Earth that there is no such thing as a free lunch. I have received Senior's Legacy, so what must I do in the future?" Zhang Sheng asked sincerely.

"Do what?"

"No need to do it deliberately. You have received my master's Legacy, so you have obtained its Karma. If you can see my master in the future, tell him..."

"'Little Moon misses him.'"

Zhang Sheng felt the endless loneliness and sadness transmitted from the Divine Sense.

"Moon Venerable, you!"

"Zhang Sheng, this Venerable has lived for hundreds of millions of years, but this Venerable does not, after all, possess the eternal lifespan of my master."

"Now I am merely lingering on. In order to secretly send the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Codex' into the Secret Realm, plus suppressing the power of the myriad worlds pearl projection at this moment, I have already exhausted my final Origin!"

"Although I still have some treasures here, I cannot give them to you now, otherwise you will surely die."

"When you feel your strength is sufficient, come back and take them!"
