Chapter 919 Obsession
Yunxi paused in pouring herself some spiritual tea, then put down the teapot and said:

"It seems I can't even slack off now."

Lan Yue shook her head speechlessly and said:

"You're willing to give up such a treasure as the 'Moon Gate' just to be lazy? You really make me look at you in a new light."

Yunxi said nonchalantly:

"Everyone wants the treasure, but there is a price to pay to protect the Xuanbao. Why did the patriarch of the Moon Gate take the 'gate' away back then? Wasn't it to prevent the Moon Gate from being targeted by others?"
But in the end, the 'gate' ended up in the hands of evil cultivators, which shows that even the patriarch of the Moon Gate couldn't protect the treasure after it was dismantled.

"Didn't your Moon Gate also store the 'Key of Time' and the 'Key of Space' separately? In the end, didn't it still attract the covetous eyes of evil cultivators?"

Lan Yue continued to press for answers out of curiosity:
"Now that I know 'Moon Gate' is in your hands, what do you think will happen if I spread this news?"

Yunxi replied with a smile:

"Not so great? After all, when the Moon Gate first spread the news that its treasured artifact had been stolen by an evil cultivator, not many people believed it. They just thought it was a smokescreen by the Moon Gate."

"At worst, I'll break the contract with the 'Moon Gate' in front of everyone and return it to its rightful owner. I just don't know if you'll be able to protect the combined Xuanbao then."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yue's face changed. If Ran Xi really did this, it would definitely ruin the Moon Gate. After all, there had always been rumors in the Demon Realm that the Moon Gate possessed a mysterious treasure, but there was no concrete evidence to support this claim.

If Ranxi were to return the "Moon Gate" in front of the spirit realm cultivators, it would be tantamount to confirming all the previous rumors that the Moon Gate would never have peace. Therefore, she decisively waved her hand and said:

"Forget it, I had long anticipated that the return of the 'Moon Gate' would be a long way off. It's not bad that it's in your hands. At least you won't use the 'Moon Gate' to do anything that interferes with the operation of the Heavenly Dao."

Yunxi is good at listening to the key points, and immediately asked with great interest:

"Did the Moon Gate relinquish its position as the number one sect in the Demon Realm because the former leader of the Moon Gate did something outrageous with this portal to time and space?"

Seeing Yunxi's gossipy expression, Lanyue tapped her empty teacup.

Yunxi smiled and poured Lanyue a cup of spiritual tea, then pretended to listen attentively, which piqued Lanyue's interest.

"After I comprehended the laws of time, I successfully advanced to become the patriarch of the Moon Gate. While cultivating in seclusion in the back mountain, I discovered a jade slip in a destroyed cave. It contained some things that were not mentioned in the Moon Gate's classic texts."

At that time, the Moon Gate was the number one sect in the Demon Realm, and the Wei Ling Realm was not what it is now. After breaking through to the Mahayana stage, this ancestor unexpectedly became pregnant and gave birth to a girl, who became her beloved treasure.

Because of her overindulgence, the girl became somewhat arrogant and unruly, inadvertently offending a reclusive family. Then, during a training expedition in a secret realm, she was retaliated against and perished there. Even the patriarch's arrival could not save his daughter.

This infuriated her, so she sought revenge on the hermit family for her daughter. However, the hermit family was no pushover either. A celestial being appeared and severely injured her. They only spared her life because of the Moon Gate.

After returning to her sect and recovering from her injuries, she was determined to revive her daughter. However, cultivators do not enter the cycle of reincarnation after entering the Dao, so she was unable to revive her deceased daughter. In the end, she set her sights on the sect's treasure, the 'Moon Gate'.

However, to change her daughter's inevitable fate, she must prevent her from entering the secret realm, explain the reasons, and most importantly, she must pay the price.

After weighing her options, she chose to activate the 'Moon Gate,' sending herself back in time to prevent her daughter from entering the secret realm. She then explained the price she had paid before vanishing before her daughter's eyes.

Yunxi listened with great interest, and seeing Lanyue stop to drink tea, she didn't urge her, but simply asked:

"Did her daughter survive in the end?" "She survived, but she lost her mother. Because activating the 'Moon Gate' changed what had already happened, the patriarch of the Moon Gate paid the price not only with his cultivation but also with his life."

After that, the girl secluded herself in the back mountains to cultivate, intending to seek revenge against the reclusive family once she had grown stronger. However, she failed to survive the tribulation and was ultimately struck dead by heavenly lightning.

After hearing this, Yunxi clicked her tongue twice and then said with a smile:

“True Venerable Lan Yue, you don’t need to look at me like that. I will not try to do such a thing with the ‘Moon Gate’ unless it is really necessary, but I will also weigh the pros and cons to see if it is worth it.”

Lan Yue shook her head and said:
"Ranxi, after this incident, the ascended ancestor chose to split up the 'Moon Gate' and take a part of it with him because he knew that someone had successfully achieved their goal. Although the price was terrible, others did not think so and would follow suit."

Because no one can guarantee they won't encounter regrettable situations or make regrettable decisions, once an obsession takes hold, they'll try everything to salvage it. The 'Moon Gate' becomes their only chance to seize. Would you be willing to try it?

Lan Yue's question was meaningful, which was also why she was not obsessed with taking back the "Moon Gate". She knew very well that she would ascend, while Yin Yue was not capable of keeping this treasure. Especially after the entire realm ascended and merged into the Immortal Realm, those immortals would not be polite.

Yunxi nodded knowingly and said:

"That's why you don't approve of Yin Yue finding the 'Moon Gate'."

"Yes."

"I understand. I will try my best not to let myself develop any obsessions. However, when Fellow Daoist Lanyue returns to the sect, please remind Yinyue not to speak carelessly, otherwise the entire 'Moon Gate' will bear the consequences."

Yunxi always speaks frankly upfront, and if someone treats her with respect, she will treat them with even greater respect.

Lan Yue nodded readily and said:

“I will tell her when I get back that I saw the treasure you contracted. It is a mystical artifact, but it is not the ‘Gate of Time’ that we lost. As the head of a sect, she can distinguish between what is important and what is not.”

"That's best."

After this topic came to an end, Lan Yue stood up and said:

"I'm going into seclusion for a while. If you need anything, you can just knock on my door."

"it is good."

Watching Lan Yue enter the cultivation room on the west side, Yun Xi sipped her spiritual tea while lost in thought. She sensed that Lan Yue's spiritual energy was fluctuating frequently, giving the impression that she was about to break through at any moment.

After entering the ancient battlefield this time, she noticed that the spiritual energy within the battlefield was becoming increasingly pure, like a blooming flower releasing its last fragrance, giving off a sense of finality.

"Hey!"

Yunxi sighed, feeling a sense of sorrow. The fallen divine soldiers and immortal generals were burning their remaining power to pave the way for the end of this war.

On the other side, after successfully surviving the tribulation of advancement, Yu Ling returned to the Haoran Sect. Instead of immediately going into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation, he went to the "Hive" to browse all the news during his absence, and then went to the back mountain to see the Haoran Ancestor.

When Yu Ling learned about Yun Xi's mission to enter the ancient battlefield from the Hao Ran Ancestor, his usually cold expression finally changed.
