The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1208 Be Cautious and on Guard (2nd Update)
"Master, is this the origin of Moonflower City?"

The little princess puppet knew that her master had received the inheritance, and now she saw the murals here and the situation where Yunran had been affected.

This immediately caused a slight sense of worry to the little princess puppet.

The master, who has been protected and comforted by the Qingfeng Temple, should, in principle, not be affected by external things.

After thinking for a moment, the little princess puppet continued, "Master, the murals say that the people of the temple obtained the method to repair the crack in the sky from a large rock. Could it be... a celestial book..."

The master came to this rift world with the purpose of finding the Heavenly Book.

That instinctive ability to predict good or bad fortune resurfaced, and it vaguely sensed that the celestial book seemed somewhat ominous.

The little princess puppet didn't finish speaking, but how could Yunran, as its master, not understand the meaning it wanted to convey?

The artist may never understand, even until his death, why the temple, which was perfectly fine, suddenly closed down.

Not only him, but all the other servants of the gods were driven out.

Perhaps he even suspected that the other servants of the gods had betrayed the temple, which is why the high priest made him hide the temple's heritage.

Because of these various suspicions, the first city lord of Moonflower City was exceptionally suspicious.

Even though a guard force had already been established, he still created this secret place on his own.

Looking back on what happened before, after they came out of that so-called selection competition, their destination turned out to be here.

In retrospect, this was not a coincidence at all, but an inevitability.

There must be a very hidden mechanism here, so that only those who have inherited the knowledge can see these murals.

To know the true origin of Moonflower City and the secret of the Heavenly Book.

If someone who hasn't received the inheritance tries to force their way in, they'll likely be killed by the reliefs on the stone pillars right at the entrance.

The reason she was able to regain consciousness was not because she was particularly powerful, but because she possessed the legacy of Moonflower City, which allowed her to be unharmed.

A cold sweat, belatedly realized, broke out on Yunran's back.

Such a mechanism that can identify inheritors is not something an ordinary person can do, let alone establish Moonflower City on their own.

Judging from the inheritance she received, it not only requires a specific bloodline and comprehension, but also some strength.

Even if others stumble upon the inheritance by chance, they will be unable to speak due to the restrictions within it.

To get to where we are today, countless stringent conditions were required, and Yunran didn't know whether to feel fortunate or helpless.

Now, she seriously suspects that all these conditions were specifically set up for her.

So, could that legendary high priest, the most powerful priest in the temple, really have predicted her appearance a thousand years from now?

Countless thoughts arose in Yun Ran's mind and were then suppressed.

Then came Yunran's deep respect for the first city lord who built all of this.

This is just a servant of the high priest, yet his abilities are already so extraordinary.

From this perspective, it seems understandable that the high priest was the most powerful high priest in the temple.

The little princess puppet, seeing that Yun Ran was still thinking, didn't make any more appearances and just obediently waited by her side.

After a while, Yunran calmed down.

Then he looked at the very end of the mural. The first city lord was clearly not a soft-hearted person. He worried that after his death, the foundation of Moonflower City would be seized by unworthy descendants or powerful foreign enemies.

They spent many years traveling to the legendary Troll Sea to capture a family of tentacle monsters as a last resort for Moonflower City.

If Moonflower City is ever attacked, everyone within a hundred miles will die!

Yunran: ...

The first city lord of Yuehua City is indeed a ruthless person!
Having had the privilege of witnessing the tentacle monster before, Yun Ran now understands that those three tentacles were just small fry; the real giant tentacles never even appeared.

Just as Yunran wanted to continue to see what method the first city lord had used to control those tentacles.

The scene abruptly ended.

Yun Ran was truly speechless. The speaker cut off the key information abruptly, leaving the audience hanging.

At this moment, Yun Ran strongly suspected that this was intentional on the part of the first city lord!
He used murals to convey most of the information to the inheritors who came here, while preserving the most crucial details.

This is likely because he wanted to guard against newcomers.

The fear is that this newcomer who passed all the tests might be someone with malicious intentions.
If he reveals his final trump card, then Yuehua City might truly be completely helpless.

Yun Ran pouted and muttered under her breath, "You're such a cheapskate!"

However, if the roles were reversed, and Qingfeng Temple needed to preserve its flame for a destined person to ignite, she, as the young master of Qingfeng Temple, would do the same.

She can hand over most of Qingfeng Temple's secrets, but the most important part—the things that can restrain the other party—she will definitely take with her to her grave.

Just like how she would never tell the later generations of Qingfeng Temple the true identity of the ginseng fruit.

However, she would leave a clue for her successors, so that if Qingfeng Temple were to fall into trouble, the ginseng fruit would be their last resort.

Seeing that Yunran had calmed down, the little princess puppet finally spoke up: "Master, shall we continue?"

"Keep walking!"

Yunran had a feeling that what she wanted was down there; she was still missing the last bronze mirror.

Although she has now had many questions answered, she has not forgotten her purpose in coming to Moonflower City in the slightest.

She didn't know how long she had walked, so long that Yunran could feel the humidity in the air had increased significantly, and her legs were starting to ache.

This made Yunran sigh again, realizing that even the servants of the temple were like this, and wondered just how glorious the temple must have been during its heyday.

Just then, a series of clanging sounds rang out.

"Master, there's a sound coming from ahead, it sounds like there's something over there."

Yunran not only heard it, but also smelled a salty sea breeze wafting over.

I don't know how this place is ventilated, but Yunran walked so deep into the place and didn't feel any difficulty breathing.

If she didn't know for certain that she was underground in Moonflower City, she would have even doubted whether she was actually at the seaside.

The abnormality was so obvious, yet there was not a trace of danger in the surroundings.

This made Yunran feel uneasy, and she immediately stopped in her tracks: "Be careful!"
