Hell Emperor.

Chapter 478 Xia Wei-Moon

"Let me go!"

The light is cold and the loneliness is boundless.

In the cold palace behind the high walls, Xia Wei crossed her arms, a hint of stubbornness flashed in her angry eyes, and she asked sharply, "How long do you want me to stay here? I've had enough!"

In front of her, Taiyin Star Lord was wearing silver-white fairy clothes, with his hair tied up high and his eyes deep. As soon as he opened his mouth, his ethereal tone spread:
"Xuan Nu's reincarnation, you have forgotten your mission, but it doesn't matter, when the time comes, you can leave naturally..."

A captivating purple light flashed by, like a sharp sword cutting through the darkness, breaking the tranquility in the deep palace.

Xia Wei was too lazy to continue talking nonsense. Her demonic pupils sank and a laser suddenly appeared. After gathering all the purple energy from the east in the world, anything that stood in the way would be mercilessly split in two by the laser. But this time it was different.

Being in the Taiyin land where the moonlight was condensed, Xia Wei instinctively felt that there seemed to be some kind of restraint around her.

The rules of heaven and earth here are very different from the human world where Xia Wei lived in the past. Under the suppression of this force, all her skills are affected and can only exert 10% of their usual power.

The speed of the laser slowed down, and the purple light that cut through the sky was blocked three feet away from Taiyin Star Lord. There was clearly nothing in front of it, but it seemed as if there was an insurmountable wall blocking it. No matter how hard Xia Wei tried, she couldn't hurt the other party in the slightest.

After trying to no avail, Xia Wei had to give up in disappointment. She didn't know how many times she had tried something like this, but none of them worked. There was an unfathomable gap between the two of them.

Facing the furious Xia Wei, Taiyin Xingjun looked calm, without any anger, and just said:

"Mundane immortal techniques cannot exert their true power here. Only a very few unique techniques can remain unaffected."

As she spoke, she took out a book and handed it to Xia Wei: "For example, take this one and have a look. If you learn the contents, it will be of great help to you..."

Before she finished her words, Xia Wei swept away the hand that Taiyin Xingjun extended, along with the book in his hand. The book fell to the side with a snapping sound: "I don't want your book! I just want to leave here and be with my master!"

Having said this, Taiyin Star Lord sighed and stopped trying to persuade him. He said, "This is not my book, it's yours... If you want to leave, I won't stop you. As long as you can break free from the gravity of the stars, you can leave at any time. Before that, you can wander around Guanghan Palace."

Xia Wei was stunned, with a look of suspicion on her face. She saw that Taiyin Star Lord did not seem to be joking, nor did he trap her in an unknown formation as before. She did not hesitate and activated her immortal energy. Her petite body soared into the sky like a sharp arrow, and was about to fly to the human world where her master was.

As Xia Wei continued to climb higher, the surroundings became colder and colder. Her body began to tremble, and frost formed on her hair and eyebrows. She felt as if she was in an ice cellar in the cold winter, and she was gradually losing the ability to feel her body.

"Heavenly God Transformation..."

This was a rare opportunity, and Xia Wei was unwilling to give it up no matter what. She immediately started practicing her skills, but her body was already on the verge of going out of control. The immortal energy in her body had gone berserk and she was completely out of control.

The pull of the star's gravity is like an invisible giant hand, entrapping all living things. The more they struggle, the harder it is to break free.

The immortals only need to activate their immortal energy to soar into the sky and ride the wind, but if they want to break free from the gravity of the stars, the power of one turn of immortal energy is not enough.

The huge force coming from behind pulled Xia Wei back at a faster speed. Her body fell heavily to the ground, creating a deep pit on the desolate and empty moon surface.

The noise of the fall also attracted some attention.

"Who is she? I have never seen her in Guanghan Palace before..."

"Is she injured? Doesn't she know that only a sixth-level immortal can travel the universe and cross the void with a physical body?"

"Tsk, looking at her unwilling expression, she must have been exiled here as punishment. The immortals in heaven are really something, throwing all kinds of people here. Do they think we are a garbage dump?"

There were whispers in her ears as Xia Wei lay in the deep pit, with a hint of loss in her eyes.

Clearly, the Moon God had done nothing to stop her, but she still couldn't fly out of the cage and had no way of returning to her master and being with her family.

"Master..."

Thinking of her master and other companions, Xia Wei felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. She didn't know how everyone was doing now, and whether everything was peaceful in the world.
"Are you ok?"

At this moment, a gentle question from the side awakened Xia Wei's thoughts again.

She got up and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that the one asking the question was a transformed monster girl.

The girl was dressed in white, with lively eyes, a slender body, three-part lips, and a lively and light temperament. The most eye-catching thing was the pair of long boneless ears on top of her head.

Perhaps because she seldom transformed, her human form looked extremely unnatural. Even the characteristics of a monster had not been eliminated. If she were placed in a crowd, her true identity would be recognized at a glance.

"monster?"

Xia Wei was stunned. She was clearly brought to the moon where the moonlight was concentrated by the Moon God. She thought that there were immortals here, but she never expected to encounter a monster.

The girl pouted, a little dissatisfied: "What monster? I was kind enough to see if you were okay, but you slandered me as a monster. How could this be possible?"

Xia Wei was a little puzzled: "You are clearly a monster in human form, and you still say you are not a monster?"

The girl snorted softly: "Look carefully, I am the medicine rabbit from the Moon Palace, a fairy beast, not one of those stinky monsters."

"Ok."

Xia Wei didn't say anything more. She stood up, concentrated and held her breath. Purple light flashed in her eyes and then wrapped around her body, turning into a real protective armor. She was ready to try again.

Wearing the armor made of purple air from the east, Xia Wei clenched her fists, not believing that she could not break free from the gravity of the stars.

Another attempt ended in failure. A new pit appeared on the moon. Under the suppression of the moon's laws, the purple air from the east became no longer effective.

"Give up. If the gravity of the stars was so easy to break free from, those immortals who were exiled here would have sneaked away long ago."

The girl's reminder came to her ears. Xia Wei was very unwilling, but the result had already explained everything. If her realm was not high enough, her immortal essence would not be able to break free from the shackles of the stars. Perhaps Taiyin Xingjun had already calculated this and determined that she could not escape from the moon, so he allowed her to act freely without any restrictions.

Xia Wei sighed and said helplessly, "Are there many immortals trapped on the moon like me?"

The girl chuckled and joked, "Of course. The entire moon is cold and silent except for Guanghan Palace. The Heavenly Court always banishes the immortals who have committed crimes here. There are quite a few like you."

Xia Wei asked, "Since so many immortals are exiled here, is there no way to escape and return to the human world?"

The girl pouted her lips and pursed them slightly, signaling to Xia Wei:

"Do you see the biggest laurel tree? According to the rules here, as long as someone cuts down the laurel tree, no matter what sins they have committed in the past, they will be forgiven and they will be sent back to the human world immediately."

Hearing this, Xia Wei's eyes lit up: "Is there such a thing?"

However, Xia Wei was still a little hesitant in her heart. She was not exiled because of committing a crime like the other immortals. Instead, she was brought here by Taiyin Star Lord himself because of her identity as the descendant of Xuannv. It was hard to say whether she could leave by this method.

No matter what, this is the only way at the moment. Xia Wei also cheered up and couldn't wait to give it a try.

The girl saw her eagerness and reminded her:
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Laurel is not that easy to cut. Any scars left by felling will heal instantly. There was an immortal who worked tirelessly to cut down the Laurel King for decades but failed to cut it down. I'm afraid you can't do it either. If you don't believe me, try the small laurel tree next to it. If you can't even cut down the small laurel tree, forget about chopping down the Laurel King."

Following the girl's pointing, Xia Wei also looked at Xiao Yuegui standing beside her.

It is called the small laurel, but that is only compared with the king laurel. It has lush branches and leaves, and is quite large in size, requiring three or four people to hug it.

As the laurel grows, it absorbs the lunar power from the moon at a close range, which contains magical strength. Its entire body is as clear as glass, and its trunk is not the brown and black of this world, but glows with an icy blue light. Mysterious patterns are naturally formed on the bark, quietly telling stories of the unknown past.

Xia Wei's eyes were solemn, fixed on Little Laurel who was standing in eternal silence. She drew her Qingfeng sword and used all her strength to activate the sword techniques she had learned. With one strike of the sword, she cut into the flesh less than an inch and could no longer go any deeper.

When Xia Wei drew her sword, a scene that made her look ugly happened. The cut on the laurel healed rapidly and returned to its original state in a blink of an eye. There was no trace left, as if nothing had happened.

"How can a mere tree be so difficult to chop down?"

Xia Wei didn't believe it. Demonic light burst out of her eyes and the blazing purple light bombarded the tree trunk. The surface of the trunk quickly turned black and carbonized, but the speed of damage could not keep up with the speed of laurel's healing. No matter how she tried, the result did not change.

After many unsuccessful attempts, Xia Wei had to give up.

At this moment, she couldn't help but miss her master. If she had the second-grade demon-slaying sword transformed by Ye Jie in her hand, with the bond between the two, she would really have a chance to cut off the laurel with one sword without even giving it time to heal. Unfortunately, Ye Jie was not here. In her current condition, she was afraid that she would have no way to deal with the laurel.

Just as Xia Wei was feeling emotional, a melodious bell sound suddenly came from afar.

When she heard the bell, the girl's eyes suddenly widened. She didn't bother to say more to Xia Wei, and said goodbye:
"It's time to distribute the pills again... I guess we can only talk about this."

After saying that, the girl left in a hurry. Xia Wei stood up and was about to try other skills to see if she could chop down the laurel, but she caught a glimpse of something under her feet.

"That is……"

Xia Wei bent over and picked up the object on the ground, only to find that it was a jade token of fine quality with a white word neatly engraved on it.

"This should be the token of the monster girl. She left in a hurry and accidentally dropped it on the ground... The token is a symbol of identity. Look at the quality of this token, it doesn't look like an ordinary thing. If she finds out that she has lost the token that proves her identity, it should be very troublesome, right?"

Xia Wei thought about it for a while, and there was a bit more worry in her eyes.

The rabbit demon girl just told her a lot of information and helped her understand the information about this place. It can be said that she was a great help. Of course, she couldn't just sit back and watch the lost token. She immediately made up her mind that she would return the token to the girl in person no matter what.

Xia Wei set off, following the scent left by the girl, and soon arrived outside a secluded palace. She didn't see any people, but she did see many jumping rabbits.

What surprised her a little was that even the most ordinary-looking rabbit, if sensed carefully, had at least as much immortal energy as a first-level immortal, and some were even higher.

You know, no one here has tampered with the List of Gods, but these rabbits have strength comparable to that of immortals. If this news gets out, who knows how many people will be shocked.

"How did you come?"

Just as Xia Wei was searching, she heard a familiar voice next to her ear. A moon rabbit transformed into a human, and it was the monster girl who had just talked to Xia Wei.

"You dropped something, I'm here to return it to you."

Xia Wei explained her purpose and then returned the token engraved with white words to the girl in front of her.

After receiving the token, the girl was startled. After searching for a while, she found that the token was missing. She immediately said gratefully: "Thank you. If you hadn't sent the token to me, it would have been quite troublesome..."

Xia Wei smiled, her eyes also fell on the Moon Rabbits gathered around, and asked: "By the way...what are you doing here?"

With the token returned before her, the girl had no doubts and told the purpose of the Moon Rabbits' gathering:
"Did you hear the bell just now? That means Guanghan Palace has produced a new batch of elixirs, some of which are improved by alchemists. We, the medicine rabbits, gathered here to test the effects of the elixirs."

Xia Wei was a little surprised. Could this be the reason why Yuetu was so powerful? Before she could speak, she saw the palace gate in the distance open, and a fairy in a colorful dress and holding a basket of elixirs walked out.

She gathered the Moon Rabbits around her and distributed the pills to them one by one. When she was done, she closed her eyes and sat surrounded by the Moon Rabbits to meditate.

Xia Wei watched this scene and secretly admired it in her heart. It was a scene of an immortal imparting knowledge. Suddenly, this peaceful scene was interrupted by a loud noise. A moon rabbit fell to the ground, twitching violently all over. The fairy who was distributing the elixir also looked extremely ugly, filled with some pain, and rebuked:

"What are you doing? Stop the spreading effect now!"

Only after the scolding stopped did her complexion improve, as if she was relieved. In contrast, the Moon Rabbit lying on the ground lost its strength rapidly, and its breath became extremely weak. In a moment, it was completely lifeless.
