Yun Ran, while cautioning to be careful, began to take out more Demon Cores from her bag.
The Little Princess Puppet imdiately scattered and placed those Demon Cores.
Soon, the entire empty, damp, dark, and oppressively heavy space turned bright.
Yun Ran looked at the stone walls around, clearly marked with signs of chiseling, with several arrays covertly operating inefficiently.
At this mont, her eyes no longer held the surprise they did before.
No matter what capability the first City Lord of Moonlight City had, she was no longer surprised.
"Master, what do we do now? That passage over there should be where we can explore the secret..."
Saying so, the Little Princess Puppet seed eager, wanting to rush over imdiately.
After all, it was activated by Yun Ran, carrying a bit of Yun Ran’s traits, particularly keen on causing trouble.
(Yun Ran quickly shook her head: I’m not, I didn’t...)
"Wait a minute!"
The Little Princess Puppet seed puzzled, but its master’s command was the first priority, so it dutifully stood aside.
Yun Ran carefully sensed the situation here. There was a cold feeling, yet it was very clean, without any dirt.
It was unclear whether this place had been cleaned beforehand or if it was due to those arrays.
Now, just about to learn the secret hidden in Moonlight City, Yun Ran was not in a hurry.
She was more curious about what power sustains and operates those arrays.
Yun Ran took out a tir, checked the ti, and then drew out a recliner and lay down.
The Little Princess Puppet, quick-witted, imdiately stepped forward and massaged Yun Ran’s back and shoulders, as diligent as a little bee.
Yun Ran also took out a thin blanket, covered herself, and closed her eyes to rest.
On the way down, she hadn’t felt anything, but now that she stopped, her legs began to feel sore and swollen.
With Yun Ran’s current physical condition, such symptoms wouldn’t appear unless she had walked a long, long ti.
Ti passed by slowly.
Until a very low-frequency buzzing sound softly reached Yun Ran’s ears, prompting her to open her eyes.
The Little Princess Puppet’s eyes also suddenly stared at the few arrays that seed to be on the brink of extinction.
Just then, a gentle moonlight pierced through from an unknown place, falling on those arrays.
The few inefficiently operating arrays, on the verge of extinction, seed to receive an energy supply, imdiately springing to life.
Simultaneously, they burst forth with intense brilliance that overshadowed the light of the demon cores scattered around.
Originally, the light from those Demon Cores was already dazzling.
But now, compared with the arrays replenished with energy, the light of the Demon Cores was negligible.
Yun Ran quickly took out a silk ribbon, covering her eyes, and the light emanating from the arrays beca less glaring.
"Master, this... the arrays in Moonlight City are actually sustained by moonlight replenishnt..."
No wonder the city is nad Moonlight City; it operates on Moonlight Power, which is quite literal indeed.
Yun Ran’s mind suddenly recalled the ’miracle’ they witnessed at Five Emperors Mountain.
At this mont, everything seed to make sense, why Dragon Spirit could sense the presence of the Heavenly Book near Five Emperors Mountain.
Now it appears that it’s not Five Emperors Mountain that carries the aura of the Heavenly Book.
Rather, Moonlight City’s arrays, through a slightly connected fissure from Five Emperors Mountain, absorb Moonlight Power, exposing the aura of the Heavenly Book.
The first City Lord of Moonlight City evidently knew so information about the Heavenly Book, hence he could harness Moonlight Power.
Thinking of sothing, Yun Ran took out the first copper mirror she had seized, now formatted.
This copper mirror, at present, has few functions, except showing the physical form of other lives, it acts just like an ordinary copper mirror.
Yun Ran rembered, the reason this copper mirror was formatted was because she inquired about the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book.
Now, Yun Ran is almost certain, these twelve-sided copper mirrors should have been sothing the first City Lord brought in.
The function, presumably, was to protect the location of Moonlight City.
As for why these copper mirrors scattered later, in between might be a history of conflicts that could fill several books.
But it is certain, these copper mirrors, like those participating in the selection competition earlier, cannot divulge related secrets, otherwise, death is the consequence.
So, the formatted copper mirror she holds now, in human terms, is equivalent to death.
Spiritual wisdom erased, isn’t that akin to dying?
Thinking of these, an astonishing bright light erupted in Yun Ran’s eyes.
She was getting closer and closer to the Heavenly Book.
Currently, Yun Ran’s desire to find the Heavenly Book has evolved from rely wanting to solve her sowhat curious Life Chart.
It has transford into a quest to uncover the truth, wondering if she was deliberately pulled into this world of the book by certain people long ago.
’Boom’—a loud explosion.
A Demon Core, rich with energy, exploded unexpectedly.
Yun Ran: ...
Logically, such Demon Cores, simply used for illumination, would have a lifespan of at least hundreds of years, and are very stable sources of light.
But now, this perfectly fine Demon Core just exploded.
Yun Ran’s voice revealed a hint of pain: "Go collect all the other Demon Cores!"
Back at Death Mountain, she acquired quite a number of Demon Cores, but those of such fine quality, once wasted, would be a real loss.
Moreover, once exploded, they are completely wasted.
They can’t even be recycled as materials for talisman creation, it’s a complete waste of a resource.
The Little Princess Puppet clearly knew its master’s sotis absurdly miser-like traits.
Naturally, it acted swiftly, collecting all the Demon Cores in a few moves.
"The arrays of Moonlight City truly live up to their na, not only can they detect the presence of the Little Paperman, but they can also silently cause the inner core of a millennial Great Demon to explode."
If there were a millennial Great Demon, transford into human form, attempting to infiltrate Moonlight City, they’d be finished in seconds.
Tut tut tut~
Now, Yun Ran understands why Moonlight City holds such a high status among the Dark Masters.
