Chapter 989 You’re Really a Genius

A strong sense of resistance arose in Yu Huang’s heart.

If the path to the Great World was paved with the bones of her predecessors, Yu Huang would rather not go to the Great World.

Staying in the Holy Spirit Continent and dying of old age like all ordinary people, was another form of bliss.

“G.o.dfather, I don’t want to go to the Central PaG.o.da,” Yu Huang said.

She just wanted to be an ordinary person.

She wanted a short, ordinary, but fulfilling life.

“You’re not going?” Mo Xiao’s expression suddenly became cold and serious as he said, “You told me about your fortuitous encounter in the Kunlun Mystic Realm. Then let me ask you, why is it that the Kunlun Mystic Realm, which was also cut off from the Three Thousand Worlds, still has endless spiritual power ten thousand years after the demise of the Kunlun Divine Master?”

Yu Huang was completely stumped by Mo Xiao’s question.

She thought about it and said, “Perhaps it’s because the Kunlun Mystic Realm wandered into the universe and absorbed the spiritual power there.”

“No.” Mo Xiao shook his head and said, “The cultivation world shouldn’t have no spiritual power. Even if its Creator dies, its spiritual power will only slowly weaken, instead of suddenly disappearing in large quant.i.ties. This depletion process will last for at least thousands of years.”

This reminded Yu Huang of Earth.

In the records of Earth’s civilizations, Earth was also filled with Divine Masters in the ancient era.

However, those Divine Masters suddenly disappeared.

In the ancient era, Nuwa was able to mold humans from mud. She could refine rocks and mend the heavens. At that time, elite guards could fill the sea, and Kua Fu was able to chase the sun. They could work together to move mountains!

Were they really just legends?

If the spiritual power of the Holy Spirit Continent completely disappeared, the descendants who lived tens of millions of years later would probably think that it was just a legend when they heard that people from ten thousand years ago could fly on swords, slash the sky with a sword, and ascend towers.

Perhaps in the past, Earth also had spiritual power, and there was also a group of people with special talent who could cultivate to become Divine Masters.

Just like the current Holy Spirit Continent.

From Mo Xiao’s words, there seemed to be a reason why the spiritual power of the Holy Spirit Continent disappeared so quickly. Yu Huang asked hesitantly, “G.o.dfather, what are you suspecting?”

After Mo Xiao wiped the chalk dust off his fingertips, he picked up his textbook and said to Yu Huang, “Since cla.s.s is over, why don’t you accompany me somewhere?”

“Where are we going?” Yu Huang was even more confused.

“Just follow me.”

After Mo Xiao grabbed Yu Huang’s arm, she realized that she had disappeared from the spot.

She appeared in a pitch-black and chaotic world. Soon, countless intersecting golden grids appeared in that world. Mo Xiao pointed at those grids and said to her, “This network is the Holy Spirit Continent.”

Yu Huang looked carefully and indeed discovered that the grid was combined to form the outline of the Holy Spirit Continent.

And these grids were the longitude and lat.i.tude lines of the Holy Spirit Continent.

Every horizontal line represented a different place.

Mo Xiao reached out and pressed the center of the longitude and lat.i.tude line as he said, “After becoming a Grand Master, we can activate our spiritual power to teleport. The reason we can teleport is because the Holy Spirit Continent’s territory has become a map in our eyes.”

“Every intersection of horizontal and vertical lines represents a different location. Wherever you go, your spiritual power will activate and you can instantly reach the place you want to go.”

As a Supreme Master, this was a skill that Yu Huang had never possessed.

After Mo Xiao finished speaking, he was somewhat curious about Yu Huang’s reaction.

Yu Huang stared at the densely packed horizontal and vertical lines as she said, “This is the longitude and lat.i.tude line.”

Mo Xiao was stunned. “What?”

“Longitude and lat.i.tude.” Yu Huang pointed at the vertical line and said, “This is longitude, and the horizontal one is the lat.i.tude. Between longitudes, the further the distance, the further the geographical location represented. The time difference between them is also greater. This is why the morning of our Divine Moon Empire is the afternoon of the Light Sea.”

Mo Xiao was baffled.

As a cultivator, he had never learned geography.

The geographical knowledge in this world was also different from that of Earth.

To Yu Huang, the longitude and lat.i.tude line was common knowledge that even elementary school students on Earth knew, but Mo Xiao and the others had never heard of it. In their eyes, the horizontal line was the horizontal line, and the vertical line was the vertical line. They couldn’t think of profound terms like longitude and lat.i.tude.

After hearing this, Mo Xiao thought even more highly of Yu Huang again and he said, “You’re indeed smart. You’re really a genius.”

Yu Huang was speechless.

She didn’t dare to take the credit for someone else’s discoveries. She hurriedly said, “The concept of longitude and lat.i.tude was invented by Claudius Ptolemy.”

“Oh really?” Mo Xiao asked her. “Is he your friend?”

Yu Huang realized that this question couldn’t be explained clearly to a person from the Holy Spirit Continent, so she shut up and nodded. “Yes, he’s a friend.” That was an ancestor who had lived on Earth more than a hundred years before her. How could she know him?

“When you become a Grand Master, you can slowly master this skill.” Mo Xiao was about to jump down with Yu Huang.

Yu Huang asked curiously, “In that case, if I want to teleport to a certain place, I have to remember the longitude and lat.i.tude of that place first?” The world was so big. It would take a lot of brainpower to remember the longitude and lat.i.tude of every place.

Mo Xiao shook his head and said, “There’s no need for that. If you think about that place, you can sense that place because spiritual power is one with the continent.”

So that was how it was.

Mo Xiao grabbed Yu Huang and transported her to the intersection.

When one teleported, their body would transcend light and time. This process was indescribably wonderful.

Yu Huang couldn’t even feel the existence of her body. Only her consciousness was still operating.

This reminded Yu Huang of four-dimensional creatures.

Perhaps this was how they existed.

After about two to three seconds, Yu Huang felt sunlight and air whistling past her ears. She opened her eyes and saw a primitive forest, as well as her body. After landing, Yu Huang suddenly asked Mo Xiao, “G.o.dfather, when we teleported, what was our body doing? Where did it go?”

Mo Xiao was stumped by Yu Huang’s question again.

He realized that Yu Huang could always think of some blind spots that others couldn’t.

Mo Xiao couldn’t answer this question, so he revealed a mysterious expression and said, “When you become a Grand Master and master these skills, you will be able to find the answer.”

Yu Huang believed it and thought that she was just too ignorant.

“Where is this?”

Yu Huang circled around and discovered that there were towering trees growing all around her.

Because those trees were too tall and dense, it was dark under the trees, and sunlight couldn’t enter.

This environment felt inexplicably familiar to her.

Mo Xiao said, “This is the abyss, where the Lord of All Demons once lived.” Mo Xiao pointed into the depths of the forest and said, “Inside, there is a forest palace prepared by the demons for the Lord of All Demons. Even though the Lord of All Demons had died back then, they still believed that he would return.”

“So, they built a palace here for the G.o.d in their hearts.”

After hearing this, Yu Huang had a new opinion of Xiao Shu’s return to the human world. She said, “G.o.dfather, when the Monster Core of the Lord of All Demons was dug out and his soul shattered, he shouldn’t have reincarnated. Was it because of the faith and obsession of the demon beast race for thousands of years that he was able to return to the human world?”
