Chapter 2049: Mo Ling

Translator: Legge

“What happened?”

The Sect Master of Astral Sect, Astral Rain, looked at Heaven Immortal Cold Light and the other two and asked in a deep voice.

Heaven Immortal Cold Light hesitated for a moment and said, “For some reason, a gigantic starlight beam suddenly burst forth from the stargazing platform and swept all the cultivators on the platform down.”

As he said that, Heaven Immortal Cold Light looked at the drunk man on the stargazing platform.

Right now, the drunkard was the only one left on the stargazing platform.

“Bloody hell!”

The drunkard seemed to have just snapped out of his stupor as he stomped on the stargazing platform repeatedly with widened eyes, cursing, “What’s wrong with this lousy thing? There must be something wrong with this stargazing platform! You scared me!”

Sect Master Astral Rain and the elders behind him glanced at Su Zimo as well but did not notice anything unusual.

Furthermore, no one would believe that such a huge commotion earlier on was caused by a Grade 1 Earth Immortal.

Heaven Immortal Cold Light continued, “Earlier on, a phenomenon appeared and endless starlight descended from the stars in the skies, gathering and connecting to the starlight beam. However…”

Pausing for a moment, he said, “However, not long after, the starlight beam seemed to have disappeared within a few breaths.”

“Disappeared?”

Sect Master Astral Rain frowned slightly.

In reality, they did not see what happened at the entrance. They only came out of seclusion after sensing a tremendous energy fluctuation and a blinding light.

As for the cultivators around the mountain gate, they were blinded by the bedazzling starlight and could not see the exact process.

Heaven Immortal Cold Light was the only one who could see the entire process clearly.

However, the entire process was too short. Even if he could see it clearly, he was at a loss and could not believe it.

Could something have truly happened to the stargazing platform?

Even in the records of Astral Sect, there seemed to be no precedence of such a phenomenon.

Heaven Immortal Cold Light would definitely not believe that someone’s bloodline and physique could trigger such a phenomenon.

When Astral Sect was first established, the paragons and monster incarnates of the Heavenly World only condensed 80 or 90 feet starlight beams at most.

That starlight beam earlier connected Heaven and Earth directly!

How could a phenomenon as such be created by a human?

Sect Master Astral Rain pondered for a moment and said, “Cold Light, continue hosting the trial. I’ll watch from here.”

“Alright,”

Heaven Immortal Cold Light nodded and declared, “Cultivators with starlight in their bodies on the stargazing platform earlier on, come to my side to receive your sect badge.”

Initially, Lin Ming and Xie Tianfeng wanted to cause trouble for Su Zimo. However, they could only give up for the time being when they saw that the Sect Master of Astral Sect was here.

Shangguan Qian and dozens of Shangguan clansmen headed towards Heaven Immortal Cold Light.

Su Zimo leaped down from the stargazing platform and staggered towards Heaven Immortal Cold Light as well.

The dozens of Shangguan clansmen received their sect badges one after another.

In Astral Sect, Black Immortals could only be considered as outer sect disciples with their cultivation realms. They did not have individual cave abodes to cultivate and could only find their own residences in the mountain ranges of Astral Sect.

If one was at the Earth Immortal realm, they could open up their own cave abodes on the seven main peaks of Astral Sect or choose an empty predecessor’s cave abode as their own.

Su Zimo arrived before Heaven Immortal Cold Light without any fear. He cupped his fists casually and extended his palm crudely, asking for the sect badge.

His every move had to match his identity as a drunkard and could not be too different.

“You?”

Heaven Immortal Cold Light frowned and glanced at Su Zimo, saying indifferently, “From my observation, there didn’t seem to be any starlight in your body earlier on.”

“How so?!”

Su Zimo glared drunkenly and argued, “My starlight only appeared later on!”

In reality, because he was suppressing his bloodline, there was indeed no starlight during the eighth breath.

In the next two breaths, a sudden change happened on the stargazing platform and no one could be sure if starlight surged out of Su Zimo’s body.

Just as Heaven Immortal Cold Light was hesitating, Shangguan Qian at the side suddenly spoke, “Senior, there was indeed starlight in that person’s body at the back. I was the closest to him so I could sense it.”

Heaven Immortal Cold Light’s expression softened.

Shangguan Qian did not know this drunkard at all. Given her status and cultivation, there was no way she would lie about this.

Furthermore, an additional person for the entrance trial of Astral Sect made no difference.

Without hesitation, Heaven Immortal Cold Light took out a sect badge and asked, “Name.”

“Mo Ling,”

Naturally, Su Zimo would not reveal his true name. Instead, he mentioned the name he used when he laid dormant in the capital of Great Zhou in Tianhuang Mainland.

Heaven Immortal Cold Light’s spirit consciousness moved.

The words ‘Mo Ling’ had already appeared on the badge in his hands.

On the other side of the badge were the words ‘inner sect’, representing inner sect disciples.

Su Zimo received the sect badge and grinned. “It’s truly a blessing to join Astral Sect. What a great honor!”

As he said that, he took out a wine jar from his storage bag and raised his head to drink heartily, ignoring the gazes of others.

“Mo Ling,”

Suddenly, Shangguan Qian’s voice sounded in Su Zimo’s mind. “I know that you were the one who caused the commotion on the stargazing platform earlier on!”

After saying that, Shangguan Qian fixed her gaze on Su Zimo, wanting to see through him.

However, Su Zimo did not pause at all, as though he had not heard anything.

He only threw away the wine jar after he finished the wine in one gulp. With a flushed face and dazed eyes, he approached Shangguan Qian.

“Hehe!”

Su Zimo laughed and said mysteriously, “You’re right. I did it. Impressive, right?”

When Shangguan Qian saw the drunken Su Zimo approaching, she could not help but reveal a disgusted expression and retreat a few steps.

She looked at Su Zimo who seemed to be in a daze and her guess wavered.

The reason why she spoke up for Su Zimo previously so that he could join Astral Sect smoothly was because she was suspicious of him.

What Shangguan Qian said earlier on was merely a test.

If Su Zimo pretended not to hear or revealed anything unusual, it would prove that her guess was right.

But now, this person was openly admitting to it, causing Shangguan Qian to hesitate internally.

‘This person is delirious and crazy. He’s most likely bragging about himself after getting drunk.’

At that thought, Shangguan Qian ignored Su Zimo and retreated to the side with the Shangguan clansmen behind her.

When Lin Ming and Xie Tianfeng saw this, they sneered with unfriendly expressions, seemingly plotting something.

“What’s wrong with that person?”

Zuo Zhuxuan noticed the abnormality on Shangguan Qian’s side and asked softly.

“Nothing much,”

Shangguan Qian shook her head gently. “I must have thought too much.”
