Chapter 2037: The Neptunean Sun and Moon

The path from the first floor all the way to the twelfth floor was no longer some type of secret in the Saints’ World. After all, the Neptunean Divine Palace had been opened far too many. Naturally, many people had made it to the twelfth floor. As a result, even when some organisations wanted to lock down on the information of the place, they were unable to do so.

Although Jian Chen’s group knew very little about the Neptunean Divine Palace, or even basically nothing, they had learnt the correct path up from Yun Lianqing.

As a result, they easily found the entrance to the ninth floor and climbed up.

The ninth floor of the Neptunean Divine Palace was not a place where regular disciples could enter. Back when the Daoist Sect of Neptunea still existed, anyone who could enter the ninth floor possessed great authority. None of them were weaklings.

Both the environment and scenery on the ninth floor were especially pretty and impressive. There was an endless stretch of mountains and rivers as far as the eye could see. The water and sky were both a deep blue while pure and rich origin energy filled every inch of the space. It completely exceeded any holy land that Jian Chen had seen in the past.

A huge, scorching sun hung in the sky. It was bright yet eye-catching, shining with a mix of colors. It prevented people from looking at it directly.

“Is this... a god artifact?” Jian Chen was immediately shocked as soon as he saw the sun in the sky.

He had seen many god artifacts already. Both the damaged piece of armor and the Anatta Tower were god artifacts.

However, all god artifacts gave off an extremely special presence and pulse. Their power was on a completely different level than supreme quality saint artifacts.

Right now, he could sense the special pulse that belonged to a god artifact from the sun in the sky.

“That’s right; it’s indeed a god artifact. What extravagance. They’re actually using a god artifact as a sun,” Chanlong squinted as he stared at the sun in the sky. He was amazed.

God artifacts were absolute treasures in the Saints’ World. They were extremely rare.

This was because many Infinite Primes in the Saints’ World did not possess god artifacts. The treasures they used would still be supreme quality saint artifacts.

The appearance of a god artifact, even just a god artifact of the lowest grade, was enough to make many Infinite Primes engage in a bloody battle against one another.

That was how valuable god artifacts were.

“It must be your first time coming to the Neptunean Divine Palace,” a voice rang out from nearby at this moment, and a middle-aged man walked over slowly. He smiled amiably as he clasped his fist at Jian Chen’s group.

Jian Chen’s group had discovered the existence of the middle-aged man right from the start. Just when they had come to the ninth floor, the middle-aged man had come up from the eighth floor as well.

They were not unfamiliar with the middle-aged man. He was the only Godking who did not attack them when they broke through the Primordial realm formation on the seventh floor before.

“I am Xiao Zheng, and I greet you all,” the middle-aged man clasped his fist at Jian Chen’s group before looking at the sun in the sky. He said, “It looks like you don’t understand the situation inside the Neptunean Divine Palace. The sun is indeed a god artifact, but in the Neptunean Divine Palace, from the eighth floor onwards, each floor is a world. The space of the floors below cannot be compared to them at all.”

“After the experts of the Daoist Sect of Neptunea in the past created such large worlds, they naturally had to keep them stable so that all the five elements were balanced. This sun separates the yin and yang of this world, so it’s naturally crucial. As a result, every floor beyond the ninth floor will have a god artifact as a sun, left behind by the past experts of the sect. They separate the yin and yang of those worlds.”

“Of course, there’s also the moon aside from the sun. However, this moon only exists in legends. No one has personally witnessed it out of everyone who has entered here.”

“Why? What’s so special about the moon? Or should we say that the moon was taken away by someone?” Yun Xin asked curiously. She had never heard of this before.

Xiao Zheng smiled from that. He said, “Taken away? It’s not that simple to just take away the god artifacts that stabilize the yin and yang of the Neptunean Divine Palace. Moreover, Primordial realm experts can’t enter the Neptunean Divine Palace. It’s impossible for mere Godkings to take away god artifacts, even if they’re ranked first on the Godkings’ Throne.”

“That’s because it’s rumored that these god artifacts were personally set down by those ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Neptunea.”

Xiao Zheng showed respect as soon as he mentioned the ancestors. He said sternly, “Those ancestors are Grand Primes. They’re existences who stand at the apex. Even Chaotic Primes can’t take away things they’ve set down themselves, let alone Godkings. It’s rumored that the disappearance of the moon is related to the calamity the sect suffered from over three million years ago. It was like the moon had vanished after the Daoist Sect of Neptunea was destroyed.”

Xiao Zheng paused here before continuing, “There is even a rumor in the Saints’ World that says the sun and moon in the Neptunean Divine Palace aren’t as simple as they seem, and they hold a deeper secret. When the sun vanishes, and the moon rises again, the Neptunean Divine Palace will experience a great change.”

“A great change?” This time, it was not just Yun Xin. Even Jian Chen, Chanlong, and Kai Ya became interested.

Xiao Zheng nodded sternly, “That’s what they say. It’s said that this message came from a supreme expert of the Saints’ World before being disclosed somehow. It spread through the entire Saints’ World such that many people know of this now. It’s just that no one is certain whether this huge change will be a curse or a blessing, so aside from those experts who can peer into the secrets of the world, no one else has the right to even come close to this secret.”

At this moment, Xiao Zheng smiled freely. He said, “But who cares if something big will happen to the Neptunean Divine Palace, right? It’s not like it has anything to do with us. Even if the sky comes falling, there’ll be those powerful people to hold it up.”

“Oh right. You don’t seem very familiar with the Neptunean Divine Palace. The ninth floor is so vast that searching it inch by inch will not only be a waste time, but you’ll struggle to find anything as well. Even if you come across a dwelling a Primordial realm expert left behind thanks to luck, you need to remember that what each floor possesses and where on each floor they are is no longer a secret to those large organisations after this place has been opened so many times. As a result, there must be many Godkings outside each Primordial realm expert’s dwelling, trying to get through the formations. There might even be supreme Godkings from the Godkings’ Throne. With our strength, we’ll truly struggle to benefit from anything before them.”

“I just happen to know about a Divine Medicinal Garden on the ninth floor. There’s a large number of God Tier heavenly resources planted there and even quite a few Flowers of Ways. Flowers of Ways are divine objects that have the laws of the world imprinted in them. If peak Godkings consume them, they can increase their chances of reaching the Primordial realm by several dozen percent. It’s even somewhat effective on Primordial realm experts. They’re extremely valuable, so I was wondering whether you’d be interested.”

Xiao Zheng stared at the four of them eagerly, but his gaze was mostly focused on master Chanlong.

“Since this Divine Medicinal Garden possesses so many God Tier heavenly resources, many people must be trying to possess them,” Jian Chen looked at Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng nodded, “That’s right. There are indeed many people in the Divine Medicinal Garden, but because there are many heavenly resources, there’s no need to worry about any conflicts of interest. It’s just that each heavenly resource is protected by powerful formations. Harvesting them is not an easy matter, but I believe with what this master used to get through the formation on the seventh floor, the formations protecting the heavenly resources shouldn’t pose a problem at all.”
