Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 238

In the divine palace, Kain did not leave. Even though he felt Luna's breath approaching the divine palace, he still sat safely on the throne, like the master of the entire divine palace, waiting for others to visit.

After Luna, Athena and Xuanming determined the direction, they set off immediately. For the three powerful goddesses, there were not many things in this forbidden space that could pose a threat to them.

However, unfortunately, Luna and the other two had just left there and came to a desert when they encountered the few creatures that could pose a threat to them.

In the endless yellow sand, Luna walked forward with difficulty. On Luna's left, Athena was also a little embarrassed. The only one who could barely maintain some goddess demeanor was Xuanming, who controlled the power of ice and snow.

However, Xuan Ming's face did not look very good at this moment, it could even be said to be a little ugly.

"We might be in trouble!"

Xuan Ming stopped and looked at the endless yellow sand. He spoke in a heavy voice, causing Luna's eyes to flash with worry and guilt.

"Could it be that we accidentally entered a dangerous area?"

Luna couldn't help but feel a little guilty, obviously thinking that she had made a mistake in giving directions, which led to the three people being in danger.

However, Xuan Ming shook his head slightly when he heard this, and he did not mean to blame Luna. There were some things that Luna did not understand, but Xuan Ming knew very well.

"This is inevitable. The road to the Divine Court is called the Road to Godhood. This means that as long as you can walk this road and reach the Divine Court, it means that you already have the power to become a god!"

Xuan Ming explained softly. Upon hearing this, Athena's eyes suddenly widened. She turned her head to look at Xuan Ming and said in a deep voice.

"You mean, we have actually entered the path to becoming a god?"

Luna looked at the somewhat ugly expressions of Xuanming and Athena, and a look of confusion also appeared on her face. She didn't understand what Athena and Xuanming were saying at all.

"The Path to the Gods is the path that mortals take to worship the gods. Normally, all mortals who go to the God's Palace must take the Path to the Gods."

Xuanming looked at Luna with a complicated gaze, and Luna's face stiffened when she saw this. It was obvious that this journey to godhood was prepared for her, a person who was not a god.

"And in order to prevent gods from breaking the rules and forcibly bringing mortals into the divine court, there are rules. If you travel with mortals, even if you are a god, you must walk the path to godhood, and you cannot quit halfway!"

"It's just that the road to becoming a god was closed in ancient times. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be open now."

Athena added with a somewhat strange look on her face, it was obvious that this road to godhood was, as expected, specially opened by the God of Shura, but no one knew whether it was opened specifically for Luna alone, or to target one of them, or maybe all three of them together?
However, in Athena's impression, this approach seems to be quite consistent with that guy. After all, that guy has always been famous for his evil temper.

At this time, Luna also realized that she had been wrong before. It was not her who implicated Athena and Xuanming, but she, or one or several of them, were targeted by the God of Shura.

"Not only that, this path to becoming a god is the most difficult one. Moreover, I can sense that some special changes have occurred. In short, be careful."

Xuan Ming's tone was somewhat serious. She could sense that in this desert, there was a faint aura of death and destruction, and she felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

"Yes, this road to becoming a god is known as the road of the fallen gods. On this road to becoming a god, gods have truly been buried."

Athena's face was full of determination, and her already heroic face was even more dashing and cold.

"The Road to the Fall of Gods?"

"That's right, because this road to godhood was originally designed to punish those gods who abused their power. At the beginning, dozens of gods embarked on this road to death, but in the end, only the Moon God survived."

After hearing Luna's murmurs, Athena explained in a deep voice, and while speaking, her expression gradually became ugly because Athena remembered more things.

"And, if I remember correctly, it was the God of Destruction and the God of Shura who built this road to the gods together. At the end of this road to the gods is the Soul Washing Pool of the Divine Court, which was built by the God of Creation Nuwa herself."

"Spirit washing pool?"

There was more and more doubt in Luna's eyes. She found that she seemed to understand this world less and less. There were always things that she didn't know popping up.

However, although her doubts increased, Luna had a somewhat strange feeling in her heart, because compared to the power of destiny, she was actually better at the power of moonlight.

Moon Sword Princess, this was her earliest name!

"Yes, the Soul Washing Pool. Only by walking through the Soul Washing Pool and washing away your mortal body can you become a god. This is what the goddess Nuwa prepared for all mortals who set out on the path to becoming a god."

Athena suddenly realized something as she spoke. In order to reincarnate, she had placed her soul in the body of a mortal. In fact, the Soul Washing Pool was extremely important to her. As long as she could enter the Soul Washing Pool, she would be able to become the first goddess of war and wisdom!
But at this moment, Xuan Ming suddenly pointed at the raging sand in front of him and spoke.

"But, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to walk this road of death!"

Luna looked in the direction Xuanming pointed, her pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of horror instantly appeared on her face.

In front of the three of them, the yellow sand suddenly quieted down, revealing a large open space. On the open space, countless bones were scattered on the ground, directly covering the earth.

And in the center of the land of bones, there is an ice coffin. Inside the ice coffin, there seems to be a human figure lying inside.

"What is this? A land of bones!"

Athena looked at the large pile of bones and suddenly exclaimed, her eyes widened instantly, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

If Athena remembered correctly, this place was where she was ordered to lead her army to fight the God of Destruction before her soul escaped.

In that battle, when she was about to lead her army to suppress the remaining soul of the God of Destruction, a woman suddenly burst out with the power of a god, defeated the army she led, and injured her soul, forcing her to flee far away.

The Divine Court! The Divine Court, which had regained its brightness, was no longer as magnificent as before, but it gave people a sense of majesty. In particular, the man sitting alone on the main seat gave people an endless sense of oppression. People dared not look directly at him, as if looking at him was a supreme blasphemy to the supreme gods.

The majestic god, with his pair of compassionate eyes, gazed far away outside the divine court. It seemed that he saw a certain figure, and a smile appeared involuntarily at the corner of his mouth. In an instant, the pressure of the entire divine court seemed to have dissipated.

"She has finally grown up!"

There seemed to be a unique kind of pampering in the whispers. At this moment, it seemed as if the wind was soft and the air had become sweet.

The next moment, Kain retracted his gaze and looked down at the arm blade in his hand. His eyes became sharp and cold again. An indescribable aura of solemnity and coldness suddenly swept across the entire Divine Court.

"Shura, a name that has been forgotten. No one has called me that for many years!"

For some reason, an indescribable sadness and loneliness rose from Kain's body, causing countless viewers who saw this scene to feel heartbroken.

When a name is so old that it needs an enemy to call it, how lonely is this person?
"I suddenly felt so sad. It seemed like he had no friends and had been living alone all his life!"

“It’s time for NetEase Cloud Music, let’s start emo!”

"Oh, I feel so sorry for Kain!"

Just when many viewers were feeling distressed, some people began to have new doubts in their minds.

"Since Kain is the God of Shura, why doesn't anyone call him that? Also, what was Kain's original name?"

This is not only a question for many viewers watching the live broadcast, but also the doubt and confusion in Luna's heart.

"Something seemed wrong just now!"

Luna's heroic eyebrows slightly frowned, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She couldn't tell what was wrong, but at that moment, she had an intuition, an indescribable strange feeling that made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"I felt it too. Just now, there seemed to be some special fluctuations between heaven and earth. Although it was fleeting, I still noticed it."

Xuan Ming nodded slightly in response. She was different from Athena. She was a real god, not a god like Athena who was resurrected with the help of a mortal body. Naturally, her perception was more acute, especially her perception of divine power.

"The power that can make you only vaguely sense a slight fluctuation, I'm afraid, only that adult has this strength."

Athena looked at Luna and Xuan Ming strangely with some doubt in her eyes. Normally, that adult was always indifferent, so why would he care about other things? Moreover, even if he wanted to care, he should care about Xuan Ming, who was a little more sociable, right?
Or did that adult realize Luna's true identity and know that she was the successor of the God of Destiny, so he took special care of her?
"Um, so, where should we go next?"

Xuanming nodded in agreement with Athena. She also agreed with what Athena said. There were not many gods here, and there were even fewer that she almost didn't notice. The only one who could be confirmed at present was Lord Shura.

While speaking, Xuan Ming turned his head and looked at Luna. Among the three, Luna's strength is currently the weakest, but what Xuan Ming cares about most is Luna's thoughts. She is very likely to have inherited the power of the God of Destiny.

Luna couldn't help but reveal a hint of hesitation on her face. She was a little unsure. On the one hand, she wanted to find her brother, which was her main purpose for coming here. But she couldn't just leave so many lives alone. After all, she was responsible for the life and death of all living beings in the world!
Seeing the hesitant Luna, many viewers who were watching the live broadcast felt a little distressed.

"This must be a very difficult decision for Luna. After all, on the one hand, he is her beloved brother, and on the other hand, he carries such a heavy responsibility!"

"Yes, responsibility and selfishness are probably the most torturous choices!"

"I just don't know what Luna will think when she finds out that her two targets are actually one / funny!"

"Haha, I'm also looking forward to it. This time, Kain and Luna should finally meet, right?"

"If you still haven't seen me, brothers, send some local specialties to that bastard!"

Although everyone was joking, from Luna's perspective, it was indeed very painful. After all, she didn't know that her brother was the famous God of Shura!
Amidst the teasing, Luna took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and a trace of pain flashed across her face.

The next moment, Luna suddenly opened her eyes, with a determined light shining in her eyes. Then, she raised her hand and pointed in a certain direction and said.

"Let's go, that place should be where the God's Court is!"

Divine Court!

So, in the end, Luna chose to look for the God of Shura and chose the responsibility on her shoulders.

However, this time, the threads of fate finally came together, and the brother and sister who had experienced so much hardship finally began to get closer to each other, just like lost people seeking light and warmth in the darkness. In the end, they met again in the cold night and dispelled the biting cold, even if only for a moment.

"A land of bones?"

Xuan Ming looked at Athena in confusion, then turned around and looked around. There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes, because Xuan Ming also discovered the problem at this time. That is, this place seemed to be somewhat different from the Road of the Fallen Gods in her memory.

In Xuanming's memory, there was no place with such bones scattered everywhere in the Death Desert of the Gods' Fallen Road. After all, there were not many gods who fell in the Death Desert of the Gods' Fallen Road. Even if the mortals who were buried in the desert were included, there could not be so many. What's more, the corpses in the Death Desert have always been scattered everywhere.

"Yes, the Land of Bones. This time, we are in big trouble!"

Athena nodded with a heavy face, her sharp eyes fixed on the ice coffin, as if she wanted to penetrate the space and the coffin to see clearly the figure lying in the ice coffin to see if it was the woman she knew.

"A land of bones?"

There was a look of doubt in Luna's eyes. In her memory, there seemed to be such a place, but she had never actually seen it.
