Chapter 1970: Reverence Moon Old Man

It was unnecessary to keep this matter under wraps now that he had obtained the complete inheritance and was already acknowledged by the Radiance World’s origin energy. He wanted to let everyone in the Radiance World, especially the church forces, know that he was now the rightful Radiance World Lord.

Huang Xiaolong anticipated that once the news spread, quite a few of those super church forces, who had been maintaining a neutral stance, would probably seek allegiance under him.

Even if most of them chose to remain neutral, those that leaned towards Dun Ei’s side would think twice.

Elan understood Huang Xiaolong’s intention for ordering her to leak the word that he had obtained the complete inheritance. But when she heard that Huang Xiaolong planned to go to the Reverence Moon Academy, she was genuinely shocked. “Your Majesty, yo-you want to go to the Reverence Moon Academy?”

Watching Elan’s expression, Huang Xiaolong smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m going to the Reverence Moon Academy to look for something. I will leave once I find it.”

Elan silently heaved a sigh of relief. “I thought Your Majesty is heading there because of the Son of Light’s battle stage challenge.”

The Reverence Moon Academy was naturally located at the Reverence Moon Divine City. The Son of Light had put up his battle stage at the Reverence Moon Divine City to challenge various forces’ younger generation’s geniuses, stirring up a storm through the big worlds. Elan knew this. Hence, when she heard Huang Xiaolong was planning to go to the Reverence Moon Academy, she thought his target was the Son of Light.

Recently, this was the most discussed topic in the Radiance World. People were saying that Huang Xiaolong was a coward, and he had no guts to show up in the Reverence Moon City to accept the challenge. Moreover, they also said that Huang Xiaolong wouldn’t last more than five moves from the Son of Light even if he had the guts to show up.

Huang Xiaolong’s lips curved into a smile as he asked, “That Son of Light is a student of the Reverence Moon Academy?”

Elan nodded, “Yes, he is a student of the Reverence Moon Academy’s Imperial Courtyard. Furthermore, he is the most talented student of the academy since its founding. Thus, he is extremely valued by the several Deputy Deans of the academy. People say that even the current Reverence Moon Academy’s Dean only has good things to say about him.”

She was hesitant before continuing, “Therefore, Your Majesty, when you’re at the Reverence Moon Academy, it’s best if you don’t run into a conflict with the Son of Light.”

Huang Xiaolong flashed her a bright grin and said, “Don’t worry! I am good-tempered.”

“It’ll be fine as long as he doesn’t provoke me. I won’t kill him. At the very least, I won’t kill him before I attack the Radiance Divine City.”

Huang Xiaolong paused for a second, then added as his gaze turned cold, “But if he takes the initiative to provoke me, you can’t blame me.”

A helpless wry smile rose to Elan’s face, then she spoke solemnly, “The Son of Light, his talent is not lower than the last Radiance Ancestor. Some people say that he is even more talented than the Radiance Ancestor was. The Son of Light setting up this battle stage challenge is likely to be Dun Ei’s idea. He wants to borrow the Son of Light’s hand to lure Your Majesty out. If Your Majesty accepts the battle stage challenge, the Son of Light can openly and righteously kill you.”

Huang Xiaolong responded with a soft smile, “Looks like Dun Ei has high confidence in the Son of Light. Do you also feel the same, that I am no match against the Son of Light?”

Elan did not know how to answer that. She carefully chose her words, “Although the Son of Light is a monstrous genius, he’s still incomparable to Your Majesty. However, he has been cultivating for almost thirty thousand years, whereas Your Majesty hasn’t even been cultivating for a thousand years.”

Huang Xiaolong understood what Elan was trying to say, “So, do you think that I am not the Son of Light’s opponent, currently?”

“A few years back, before the Son of Light broke through to Fourth Order Emperor Realm, he had a record of killing Fifth Order Emperor Realm radiance beasts. That was only the strength he had exposed on the surface.” Elan stressed.

Seeing Elan was still doubtful, Huang Xiaolong merely smiled and did not continue with the topic any longer. He changed the subject, “I’ve heard it has been many years since the Reverence Moon Old Man has appeared in front of everyone.”

Elan nodded, “Ever since the Radiance Ancestor went missing, Senior Reverence Moon stopped appearing in public. But, Senior Reverence Moon should still be at the Reverence Moon Academy.” As Elan spoke about Senior Reverence Moon, there was reverence and awe in her eyes.

Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong learned about the Radiance Knight Corp’s situation from Elan. WElan left two hours later.

Huang Xiaolong fell into contemplation as he watched Elan walk out of sight.

His purpose for going to the Reverence Moon Academy was indeed to take something. After he had obtained the Radiance Ancestor’s full inheritance, he had also gotten some of the Radiance Ancestor’s broken memories. In the past, the Radiance Ancestor had left something at the Reverence Moon Academy.

The thing the Radiance Ancestor had left behind was an amazing treasure. Otherwise, Huang Xiaolong wouldn’t have bothered to make the trip personally.

With the item the Radiance Ancestor left behind, the Radiance Knight Corp’s overall battle power would double!

This was the main reason why he had decided to collect the item the Radiance Ancestor had left at the Reverence Moon Academy before proceeding to attack the Radiance Divine City.

In fact, before coming to the Radiance World, Huang Xiaolong had learned some things about the Radiance World from his Master, the King of Grandmist.

On the surface, the Radiance World was governed together by Elan of the Radiance Knight Corp and the Radiance Divine City’s Dun Ei. However, this was not the truth. Other than the Radiance Knight Corp and Radiance Divine City, there were several tens of super church forces that did not fall under these two parties’ governance.

Several tens of super church forces formed a powerful force that could fight against the Radiance Knight Corp and Radiance Divine City at the same time.

However, other than the Radiance Knight Corp, Radiance Divine City, and the several tens of super church forces, there was another super special existence—the Reverence Moon Academy!

Before coming to the Radiance World, his Master King of Grandmist had cautioned him many times to be careful of the Reverence Moon Academy!

More precisely, he had cautioned him to be careful of the Reverence Moon Old Man!

There was a myth that the Radiance Knight Corp was created by the Radiance Ancestor and Reverence Moon Old Man.

After the Ancient Heavenly Emperor had joined hands with the Buddha World to rage war against the Radiance World, the Radiance Ancestor had disappeared. Subsequent suppression from the Divine World and Buddha World on the Radiance World had forced the Radiance World out of six great worlds’ ranks. Then again, despite the Divine World and Buddha World’s latter suppression, they had failed to destroy or conquer the Radiance World.

This was made possible by one person! And this person was none other than the Reverence Moon Old Man!

At the mention of Reverence Moon Old Man, his Master King of Grandmist’s expression was solemn like Huang Xiaolong had never seen before. His Master had only one comment, unfathomable!

As far as everyone knew, the Reverence Moon Old Man’s strength was no weaker compared to the Radiance Ancestor.

Because of the Reverence Moon Old Man and the Reverence Moon Academy’s existence, the Radiance World had continued to exist until today. In the past, when the Nine Yin Giant Corpse Tribe had attacked the Divine World, he had kept away from the Radiance World. The reason for this was the Reverence Moon Old Man.

Thus, when speaking of the Reverence Moon Old Man, even the Radiance Knight Corp’s Commander Elan, who had broken through to the Sovereign Realm, was apprehensive and respectful.

“Reverence Moon Old Man…” Huang Xiaolong spoke the name, his fingers lightly tapped on the arm of his seat.

…..

One month went by quickly.

During this month, other than consuming Brilliant Sun Divine Pills as he cultivated inside the Myriad Spirits Divine Manor, Huang Xiaolong researched array formations and alchemy.

In recent years, Huang Xiaolong researched array formations and alchemy whenever he had free time.

Some of the archbishops and bishops stationed in other world surfaces returned to the Myriad Spirits Divine Manor to pay their respects to Huang Xiaolong. However, some people like Hillier, An Si, and the others opted to leave the Radiance Knight Corp and sought allegiance with Dun Ei at the Radiance Divine City.
