Chapter 268: The Mysterious Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan
It was unclear whether Xianxian and the others were particularly skilled at gathering information or if the individuals in question simply had no intention of hiding their identities. In less than a day, Xianxian and Xiao Zian managed to uncover the identities of those men in black.
While finding out their identities was a good thing, it seemed less favorable when they brought that information to me as if to show off!
Suppressing the urge to give Xianxian a piece of my mind, I also learned about those people's identities.
As suspected, they were part of the God Alliance, commonly referred to as Awakeners!
They were individuals who understood the world!
However, while we knew their identities, they had not revealed any deeper secrets. Knowing is one thing, understanding is another, and acceptance is yet another.
We did not fully trust them, and they would not easily trust us either. Everyone has their own secrets that they are reluctant to share. However, I thought that when I obtained the Azure Jade Seal, perhaps that would be the moment I learned everything.
In less than two days, we continued our journey deeper down. Thanks to the Awakeners leading the way, we encountered no further dangers. Strangely enough, we not only avoided traps but also did not come across a single Zongzi.
"Do you know who built this vast Underworld?" After gathering some information, Xianxian came over to boast again.
"Who?" I shot a glance at Xianxian, urging her to get to the point without dragging it out.
Xianxian's mouth seemed to twitch slightly as she rolled her eyes at me. "You're really lacking in interest!" After a moment of silence, she finally said, "Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan!"
"Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan?" I repeated quietly; it sounded unfamiliar to me.
"Yue Zhu Xuan?" The usually expressionless Lime suddenly spoke up. I turned to look at him and noticed that his typically impassive face showed signs of contemplation.
"Have you heard of it?" I quickly asked.
Lime nodded, still frowning. After a moment, he replied, "I think I heard Demon God Child mention it once."
"What did they say?" Xianxian leaned in curiously.
Seeing his excited expression, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask, "Did you not find out any specific details about the Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan from those people?"
"How could I!" Xianxian said somewhat dejectedly. "You don't know, investigating secrets requires energy too, and I want to preserve my strength."
Not being able to find out was one thing; what did preserving strength even mean? I shot him a disdainful glance and didn't press further because I was now intrigued by the Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan!
"Since they are all part of the God Alliance, does that mean they have the design blueprints for this place?" I pointed at a group of people in black nearby.
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Snow Princess say, "No wonder we have been able to move smoothly with them guiding us."
"Exactly, it's like having a super cheat code!" Xianxian was also very excited. Meanwhile, my dad and his group, along with some people on our side, seemed to twitch at the corners of their mouths.
It was time to sleep again, but aside from the awakened ones, we gathered together once more.
Cold Snow sat on my right side, Lime on my left, and Xianxian next to Lime. Thus, we formed a circle with a Dead Air Lantern placed in the middle. Some were taking notes while others were eating food as we discussed together.
"So you mean to say you've never heard of the Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan?" I looked incredulously at my dad and the others, who also appeared surprised and deep in thought. The atmosphere felt tense; this suddenly emerging race was hidden too deeply, even deeper than the Azure Dragon! If such a force were friends, it would be fine; if they were enemies, we wouldn't even know when we would die, let alone at whose hands.
"This is really disappointing. After investigating for so many years, we've never heard of them even once!" Bai Gu Fei frowned, looking quite displeased.
My dad had a better mindset; breaking the silence of frustration, he said, "At least we have confirmed that the God Alliance consists of three parts: one is extraterrestrials, the second is the Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan, and the third is some awakened ones. We just don't know if there are any other forces involved."
"Yes, we are not far from the truth now; let's not be ungrateful," Lan Hao said with a smile.
"Awakened ones were originally just ordinary humans like us, right?" I asked.
Xianxian laughed out loud at this and looked at me skeptically. "Are you an ordinary human?"
"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!" If there weren't people sitting on both sides of me, I would have kicked him upside down.
"You are the one talking nonsense!" Xianxian continued to act as if nothing had happened.
It was Liang Qiu Yu who couldn't stand it anymore; he cleared his throat twice and said, "In my opinion, they are similar to us but live in different environments with different education. The main difference lies in their thoughts."
Upon hearing this, a question immediately came to my mind, so I asked, "Since awakened ones only differ in thoughts from us, does that mean if certain people also 'awaken,' those awakened individuals could join them?" In other words, join the God Alliance!
"Thinking about it this way, it seems likely!" Xiao Zian stroked his chin and said.
Xianxian glanced at me, a knowing smile on her face, and asked, "Are you trying to say that Divine Hand has also awakened? That's why they stand with the God Alliance?"
"Yes." I nodded. I didn't know what Divine Hand was thinking or what the purpose of the God Alliance was, but after Xiao Zian's lesson a few days ago, I suddenly seemed to understand something.
Xiao Zian said that we live in an Illusory World; you, I, he, we are all illusory beings! When I heard him say that, I had a strong intuition. And then there was his mention of the Flower of Life, which truly exists in this world; everything aligns logically and otherwise.
Especially the fact that the smallest particles that make up the human body are actually energy waves!
The God Alliance and the Demon Clan must know this; they see things more clearly than anyone else. But their stances are different—what exactly are their respective positions?
In the face of this "illusory" world, how do both sides perceive it!?
What secrets does the Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan hold that have never been recorded in any historical texts or documents?
I also have an intuition that the Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan is an even more powerful race than the Demon Clan!
Their existence is mysterious and formidable; who knows which corner of the world they are hidden in? Perhaps they exist in every corner of the world?
