Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

Inside the headquarters of the space agency, the air seemed to stand still, and everyone's breathing seemed to freeze.

Everyone stared blankly at the mysterious scene on the moon, projected onto the large screen in front of them.

In the past, photos and videos taken at a distance of 380,000 kilometers had very poor quality, with a lot of noise and low clarity.

Therefore, each country's space agency has professionals who organize these photos and use technological means to make them clearer.

Now, thanks to the blessings of those who cultivate the Tao.

With the blessing of the cultivators' special array, these cosmic detection tools are not only able to communicate in near real time, but the clarity of the photos they take has also improved significantly compared to the past.

That's like a 240P video that can be presented with the effect of 1080P.

It is precisely because of this that many aerospace workers in the command center were able to see the exquisite yet hazy beauty of the moon goddess through this screen.

In the Moon Palace, atop the laurel tree, the Moon Goddess, whose fame rivals that of the moon itself, reclines and leans against the tree.

She wore an elegant silver-white long dress, adorned with twinkling stars, like moonlight.

The moon goddess's slender, long legs were bent, lightly stepping on the laurel branch, while her other jade leg drooped down following the moon's gravity, letting her silvery-white skirt cascade down.

Her arches were taut, and between her calves and the hem of her skirt, one could vaguely see her delicate ankles and pure white embroidered stockings, a dreamlike and alluring sight.

She seemed to be taking a nap on a laurel tree.

At this time,

The beautiful, untouched moon goddess slowly opened her eyes.

Her features were extremely delicate, even more serene than moonlight, and her hair, which was indescribably long and almost ankle-length, was particularly striking.

Even the world's most masterful painter could not describe the color of her hair in words; they could only say that her hair was moonlight, transformed from the moon's essence.

The moon goddess's eyes seemed shrouded in a mist of millennia. She was looking down at the lunar rover under the laurel tree with great interest.

Breathing became stagnant in the command room, as if any breath would spoil this magnificent view and be a desecration of the gods.

Everyone, even through their screens, was captivated by the beauty of this moon goddess.

The moon goddess suddenly drifted down from the laurel tree, like a flower about to fall to the ground, inexplicably causing a pang of heartache.

Her skirt flowed like clouds on the jade platform, her clothes were spotless, her hair was free from dew, and the winds of the mortal world could never blow into this moon palace.

The moon goddess raised her perfect, flawless jade hand and gently brushed it across the lens of the lunar rover, as if she knew someone was watching her through that lens.

The coolness of the machine's metal seeped into the god's fingertips, causing the moon goddess to furrow her brow slightly, before revealing a bored, disdainful, and disgusted look in her eyes.

It seems that this deity looks down on the moon chariot, and also on the person looking at her from across the chariot.

Dr. Ye, who was in the know, was also in the command center.

Even through the screen, he was met with a mocking and disdainful glance from the Moon Goddess, and his face suddenly flushed red as a strong impulse surged within him.

He wanted the god to despise him even more, preferably to curse him a few more times, then he would be satisfied and have no regrets in this life!

A staff member next to Dr. Ye was staring intently at the screen. Noticing that Dr. Ye was trembling, he tugged at Dr. Ye's sleeve and whispered:

"Doctor, are you feeling unwell? Would you like to go and rest?"

"No!" Dr. Yeh refused almost without thinking.

The resolute tone of his voice startled the staff around him.

Dr. Ye also came to his senses and realized that something was wrong. He quickly whispered, "I'm fine. I just didn't expect this Moon Goddess to be so beautiful."

He glanced around furtively.

In the command room, both men and women were captivated by the beauty of the moon goddess.

These words of mine will not make me seem like I have a weak will.

The staff member also exclaimed, "It's not just the Moon Goddess, but the Sword Immortal is the same. These reincarnated great supernatural beings, even the women, seem to be like fairies, which I can't describe in words."

"You say we all have two eyes, two ears, one nose, and one mouth, so why are these powerful female immortals so exceptionally beautiful?"

Human facial features are limited; no matter how perfectly proportioned they are or how well placed they are, ordinary beauty cannot possess such great charm.

You might say those beautiful women have good bone structure, since beauty lies not only in the skin but also in the bones. But with modern technology, it's also possible to have minor cosmetic procedures that are undetectable to you.

Just like after the true face of the Sword Immortal was revealed, some crazy women spent hundreds of millions to have plastic surgery to resemble the Sword Immortal's features.

With such a high budget, the cosmetic surgeons are top-notch, and the best equipment and materials are used.

However, the face that was surgically altered was nowhere near as good as the Sword Immortal's, never even a fraction as good.

Dr. Ye replied in a low voice, "It should be temperament, that kind of ethereal temperament that is both bright and subtle yet able to be expressed on the surface. It's not something that ordinary people can have."

"To be more precise, even the subtle differences in the body."

"You know I work with images. Back then, during the Western Pacific War, the country took a picture with an ultra-high-resolution camera."

"I studied that photo. I zoomed in to the maximum and adjusted the detail to the extreme. I couldn't find a single pore or any flaw on the Sword Immortal's face."

"Do you understand? This means that a sword immortal's skin is completely flawless, truly like a perfect piece of jade. Can an ordinary human achieve that? Absolutely impossible."

"So you see, they are all incredibly beautiful, just like CG in a computer."

"To be honest, after seeing a fairy like that, I feel an urge to live forever if I can't marry one."

The staff member rolled their eyes at Dr. Ye.

Are you also an undead?

However, Dr. Yeh had one more thing he didn't say.

That is, after seeing the moon goddess, the impulse in his heart became even stronger.

Just one look of disdain and mockery from the other person was enough to spark countless fantasies in him.

Am I actually a masochist? Is the reason I've been single my whole life because I chose the wrong partners?

In a room with one-way glass above the command center, Empress Jiang sat calmly in a chair, her sleeves tucked in as she watched the Moon Goddess on the screen.

Beside the Empress, Pang Wanyi, looking dazed, inadvertently murmured, "So beautiful, is this the Moon Goddess? She truly is a fairy from the Moon Palace. If there is a fairy named Chang'e in the world, she should look like this."

Pang Wanyi suddenly trembled all over.

She woke up with a start and noticed the empress beside her glancing at her sideways.

Pang Wanyi's mind raced, and she immediately bowed her head respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, the Moon Goddess may be beautiful, but in your presence, she is nothing more than a palace maid who dances and plays the zither."

Indeed, in terms of beauty and that noble and aloof temperament, this moon goddess is even more beautiful than the empress.

Although Empress Jiang Zhi cultivated to the Taiqing Realm, achieving a flawless and perfect immortal body, she was also born a woman of unparalleled beauty.

But after all, the Empress was once the daughter of a mortal, while this Moon Goddess was born a deity, and was of a higher birth than the Empress.

The only problem is that their temperaments are too different.

If the two stand together, one is a high and mighty empress, commanding the world with no one daring to disobey.

The other one truly resembled a noblewoman who played music for others.

The Moon Goddess is beautiful, but she cannot compare to the Empress's magnificence.

Jiang Zhi withdrew her gaze and looked at the screen again. Her embroidered eyebrows, which slanted upwards towards her temples, furrowed, and her eyes, like a deep, unfathomable pool, became unfathomable.

"Something's not right with the Moon Goddess this month."

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with the Moon Goddess?"

Pang Wanyi was puzzled.

"Her expression is all an act; she's actually scared!"

The Empress reigned for millennia. Unlike ordinary cultivators who merely practiced self-cultivation, she, as an emperor, was most adept at understanding people's hearts and observing the myriad aspects of human nature.

She noticed something was off about the Moon Goddess's mood from the smallest details; even from a distance of 380,000 kilometers, she sensed that the Moon Goddess was afraid!

"Fear? Why should she be afraid? This Moon Goddess can reincarnate in a physical body; she must have been at least a Dao Lord level expert in the past, right?"

Pang Wanyi gasped softly, finding it unbelievable.

She would not doubt the Empress's words; she was certain that the Empress's words were correct.

"She's not at the Dao Lord Realm, but at the Taiqing Realm!" Jiang Zhi corrected Pang Wanyi's mistake.

"Taiqing Realm?" Pang Wanyi was even more incredulous.

Would a powerful expert in the Taiqing Realm feel fear?

It's not that powerful beings in the Taiqing Realm can't have fear, but this Moon Goddess hasn't encountered any powerful enemies, so why should she be afraid?

Jiang Zhi shook her head slightly: "I don't know either. Perhaps it's related to another palace and two moons."

"After learning that there was a reincarnation of a great being on the moon, I went to find other reincarnations to explore her possible identity."

"This moon goddess should be Wangshu, the moon goddess who was killed by your ancestor at the end of the ancient heavens and then resurrected."

There are many reincarnations of the various Xia peoples, but not all of them are so high-profile.

Many reincarnated beings, just like in the past, prefer to find a secluded corner to meditate in peace. Unless there is some great change in the world or the birth of a supreme treasure, these great supernatural beings usually sit for hundreds of years at a time.

Empress Jiang couldn't very well send her servants to inquire about these reincarnated individuals, as that would be disrespectful.

She personally searched for each of the reincarnated beings, and finally, from their accounts, she roughly deduced the identity of the Moon Goddess.

"The Moon Goddess Wangshu was killed by your ancestor Yuanshi Daluotian at the end of the ancient heavens."

"But the moon, which symbolizes the moon goddess, was not destroyed, but has continued to exist among the stars."

"These ancient gods are very difficult to kill as long as their concepts remain."

"During the ancient times of the Heavenly Empress, legends of the moon goddess still circulated, or people in some remote areas would spontaneously form songs of praise and worship for the moon."

"These praises and worships transformed into faith, pointing directly to the moon goddess, and ultimately Wangshu was resurrected hundreds of thousands of years later."

Jiang Zhi spoke softly as she told her capable secretary the stories she had heard.

Pang Wanyi listened intently, gaining a deeper understanding of these ancient gods, and her heart grew increasingly horrified.

After hundreds of thousands of years, can these ancient gods be resurrected in faith?

It's terrible!

"When the Moon Goddess was resurrected, I had already passed away. According to the timeline, that was the later period of the golden age of immortals."

"The reincarnated person I asked was not a contemporary of the Moon Goddess; he had only heard about the Moon Goddess's story secondhand."

"This moon goddess, after being resurrected, restored the Taiqing Realm, but in the stories about the moon goddess, there is always one person who cannot be escaped."

At this point, Jiang Zhi's tone unconsciously became serious.

The solemnity made Pang Wanyi instinctively straighten up: "Your Majesty, who is that person who cannot escape?"

Jiang Zhi said solemnly, "That was a cultivation method that suddenly emerged in the later stages of the Immortal Path, giving birth to a new school of thought: Confucianism!"

"And the person associated with the moon goddess Wangshu is the first Confucian sage in recorded history to achieve the Taiqing Realm!"

Pang Wanyi murmured, "The Confucian sage..."

……

Qiantang City, Donghu Biegong.

Qin Shishi sat cross-legged in the bedroom with an air of seriousness.

With each breath she took, invisible spiritual energy began to fluctuate.

then,

She didn't inhale a single drop!

Qin Shishi opened her eyes listlessly and saw Qin Zijun eating snacks and watching videos not far away. She was furious.

"Brother, is your cultivation technique fake?"

Qin Shishi complained with a suspicious look in her eyes.

Qin Zijun told her that cultivating Tao was not so simple, but rather a very tedious and boring thing. To succeed in cultivating Tao, one needs great perseverance and persistence.

In particular, Qin Zijun told her that her talent for cultivation was average and there was no need for her to force herself to cultivate.

But there's a saying: "Since we're already here, how can we not fix it up?"

So Qin Shishi made up her mind to start cultivating Taoism and asked Qin Zijun to teach her.

Unlike Yin Hang and Jiang Churou, Qin Shishi did not choose sword cultivation. Instead, she chose the most stable orthodox method of cultivation, namely the "Nine Views of the Primordial Beginning" practiced by the old Taoist Xuanwei.

Despite Qin Shishi's persistent efforts, she felt nothing at all and never succeeded in getting any spiritual energy into her body.

Jiang Churou, who stayed here with her temporarily, had already successfully entered the first stage of body tempering!

Therefore, Qin Shishi became certain that she indeed had no talent for cultivation.

She said the method was fake, but that was just something she said in anger.

Qin Zijun kept her eyes on the video and said without turning her head, "Shishi, there's no need to belittle yourself. Although your talent isn't great, it's also related to your environment."

"The spiritual energy has just begun to recover, and only those cultivation geniuses can sense it. When the spiritual energy recovers more strongly, even someone with your talent will be able to enter the path."

Qin Shishi pouted: "Brother, the way you put it makes me even more annoyed."

She got up from the bed.

Let's not fix this for now!

Standing before the French windows, I realized today is the sixteenth.

The moon is said to be fullest on the 16th of the lunar month, and the full moon in the sky was radiating soft moonlight.

Qin Shishi asked with great interest, "Brother, do you think there really is a Guanghan Palace on the moon, and a fairy named Chang'e?"

Qin Zijun nodded: "Yes."

"Really?" Qin Shishi's eyes lit up. "Aren't the fairies in the Moon Palace especially aloof, noble, and peerless?"

Qin Zijun's expression suddenly turned strange. He looked at Qin Shishi and carefully chose his words: "From the outside, she is indeed aloof and noble, but let's not go too far with her arrogant and peerless demeanor."

"Actually, the fairy in the moon palace is very timid. If you scare her even slightly, she will start to cry. If you punch her, she will cry even louder."

Qin Shishi didn't believe her: "You've never seen the fairies in the moon palace, you must be lying to me!"
