On a pitch-black floating continent, there lived a mysterious tribe .
They were born with superhuman strength and even ordinary members of the tribe who couldn't cultivate possessed a power equivalent to that of high ranking Dao Body Stage cultivators . Once they came of age, even the most ordinary amongst them could unfurl their dark wings and soar through the skies .
This tribe often roamed about in the darkness of the night . Every time they ventured out, they would bring carnage to the Tai Chu Continent .
All the living beings on the Tai Chu Continent viewed them as fiends of the dark night .
Because they had a pair of black wings, they were called the Dark Wing Tribe .
However, this tribe professed themselves to be the messengers of heaven, their actions thus being the desires of heaven .
In the center of the floating continent they inhabited, there stood a gigantic castle .
Eleven engraved seals were suspended around the castle, each of them emitting a divine aura . These symbolized the Eleven Supreme Monarchs of the Dark Wing Tribe .
There were originally twelve of these engraved seals . However, the Dark Night Monarch suddenly died due to some incident, causing one of the seals to crumble . As a result, the twelve engraved seals became eleven .
The crumbling of a seal shocked the entire Dark Wing Tribe, and the Dark Wing Emperor announced three months of mourning .
Right now, this period of mourning still hadn't passed and the entire Dark Wing Tribe was still immersed in grief .
Within the castle, the Dark Wing Emperor stood with his hands clasped behind his back . He gazed down upon the eleven monarchs standing before him .
A desolate and distant voice left the emperor's lips . “Starry Night Monarch, you abandoned the investigation into the Dark Night Monarch's death . I hereby punish you to supply power at the Heart of Darkness for one hundred years . ”
A sinister looking male bowed his head and saluted respectfully . “As your majesty commands!”
Toiling away for one hundred years in exchange for my life? It's my win!
“We can't sweep aside Dark Night's death just like that . We must retrieve the Evil-Slaying Sword . Which of you will accept this mission?”
The Dark Wing Emperor's cold and desolate voice cut straight into their minds .
The monarchs descended into silence, each of them evidently weighing up the gains and losses to be made .
After all, the enemy was someone who could slaughter the Dark Night Monarch before she could even use her Starless Sky of Slaughter Formation Disk . It was only natural that they treated this with extreme caution .
Moments later .
A beautiful female with long raven hair stepped forward gracefully .
Her eyes were soft and clear as the bright moon, yet her expression was cool and indifferent as water . She bowed slightly and declared, “Moonlit Night is willing to accept this mission . ”
The Dark Wing Emperor nodded in approval . “Very well . Shall you succeed, you'll receive not only a divine fruit, but also gain the right to enter the Heavenly Crevice . There, you'll be able to able to observe the Dao Bearing Light which occurs only once every one thousand years . ”
Hearing this, the other monarchs all shivered . They couldn't help but cast envious glances toward the Moonlit Night Monarch .
Divine fruits were hard to come by; Dao Bearing Light was even harder to come by .
Being able to observe the Dao Bearing Light, one would have the chance to come into contact with the barrier leading through to the Dao Integration Stage . How could they not be envious?
However, such a chance was only bestowed upon one person every one thousand years .
The Heavenly Crevice was almost about to open . Who knew that the opportunity to enter was already seized by the Moonlit Night Monarch!
“Thank you for your rewards, Emperor . ”
Even in the face of such valuable rewards, the Moonlit Night Monarch was still indifferent as she saluted and expressed her gratitude, not showing any more emotion than necessary .
Seeing this, the Dark Wing Emperor nodded imperceptibly . Ranked third amongst the Twelve Supreme Monarchs, the Moonlit Night Monarch was much more powerful than the Dark Night Monarch . Moreover, she was calm and composed when dealing with matters, only acting after devising strategies and coming up with plans . She had never once failed a mission that she had accepted .
In other words, the Dark Wing Emperor saw the Moonlit Night Monarch as the most ideal candidate for this mission .
Sure enough, she volunteered to take this mission .
With an intense gaze which felt like it was going to cut through the void, the Dark Wing Emperor looked toward a certain direction . “Evil-Slaying Sword…” he murmured softly .
Bai Hua State .
An Lin, who was feasting with Da Bai and Xiao Chou in a specialty restaurant, suddenly sneezed .
“Why are you sneezing while we're eating? You're going to affect our appetites, woof!” Da Bai protested .
An Lin chuckled apologetically . “Maybe some beautiful girl is thinking about me . After all, I can't help that I'm so strong and handsome . ”
Da Bai rolled his eyes . He ignored An Lin and continued eating .
They were on their way to the Vermilion Bird Sect .
Because it was the holidays, An Lin decided to have a look around as they journeyed over . It was also a great opportunity to experience the cultures and customs of the Nine States .
On their journey, An Lin didn't come across many pretty girls . Perhaps it was because he saw too many beautiful girls on a regular basis .
However, he especially enjoyed the food along the way .
They ordered all types of specialty dishes when they went to restaurants, and they enjoyed themselves immensely .
After stuffing himself full, An Lin went to the Flowery Court to gaze at beautiful women .
This Flowery Court isn't what you would imagine it to be . This was a place where female entertainers sang and danced . Apart from this, there were no other transactions .
It was quite similar to the theatrical performances on Earth .
An Lin had absolutely no interest in the dancing .
However, the singing of the female entertainers had him hooked .
The melodies and rhythms of the songs popular in the Kingdom of the Nine States were all amazing . The artistic concepts of these songs were absolutely mesmerizing .
The singers were all very invested in their performances, with crisp and beautiful melodies lingering around them as they stood amidst the blooming flowers and flowing streams . They painted a beautiful picture of visuals and sound, and An Lin enjoyed himself immensely .
The bright moon hung high in the sky .
In the sky somewhere above Bai Hua State, the void was torn apart by a pair of pale and slender hands .
A female walked out of the spatial tunnel, her figure appearing delicate and pure as the moonlight shone upon her .
She was none other than the Moonlit Night Monarch, the monarch who had ventured from the mobile castle to undertake her mission .
“I can sense it . The Evil-Slaying Sword is nearby . ”
The Moonlit Night Monarch shut her eyes . She tilted her head slightly upwards and slowed down her breathing .
“I can't send people directly over . That way, the threads of fate will be too obvious .
“How can I dilute fate yet still gather enough intelligence?”
A gentle breeze blew over, and Moonlit Night's body swayed with the wind, floating higher up into the sky .
“Melt into nature and become a simple bystander .
“Like a non-sentient being, unfeeling, untouching, yet aware of all…”
She smiled faintly . Shrouded in the faint glow of moonlight, she drifted higher and higher, transforming into a star in the night sky .
This star didn't twinkle like the others, its glow instead soft and hazy like the moon .
This was actually just a mini-moon . It was nice and round and had an especially clear contour .
A moon like the stars, a star like the moon .
Although she had melted into nature, unfeeling and untouching, she still saw An Lin .
In fact, she didn't see An Lin . More accurately, An Lin stood out clearly due to his connection with the Evil-Slaying Sword .
In the Flowery Court, a female just finished off her song, drawing a warm round of applause from the audience .
Even Da Bai squatted on the floor, a look of excitement on his face as he applauded .
He had never come to such a place before . Seeing beautiful females sing and dance now, he enjoyed himself greatly .
It seemed as though the law of the interspecial barrier didn't apply to Da Bai . Like a lonely old man seeing a beautiful young woman, his watery eyes would widen every time he saw a beautiful female .
An Lin became suspicious of whether Da Bai was transformed from a human male . Otherwise, how come he was even more excited than him when seeing beautiful women?
“Achoo!”
An Lin suddenly sneezed as he was applauding along with everyone else .
“Big Brother An, you've got quite some luck with women tonight,” Da Bai chuckled . “Another beauty is thinking of you!”
An Lin sniffed . “Ah,” he sighed in exasperation . “What can I say about these girls who silently observe me, secretly think of me, yet do not come and confess to me?”
