The Saintess Has A Showdown 463

Chapter 463: Water Moon Shadow

–Water Moon Shadow–

Due to the Water Moon Concubine’s feats during the battle at the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring, the once obscure and nameless Sea Region was now renowned throughout the spirit world, its status elevated to a first-tier overlord realm, bestowed with the name Water Moon Shadow.

Anyone who saw the Water Moon Concubine’s entry on the Sun and Moon Ranking would understand why.

A Dual Soul Body, a Holy Water Body, and the favor of a legendary being.

This woman, from birth, had been destined for greatness.

Above the shimmering azure sea, massive sea creatures, their bodies spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, swam, carrying islands and palaces on their backs.

To prevent further incursions from beings like the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, Water Moon Shadow’s settlements were now built atop these giant spirit beasts, mobile fortresses that could flee at a moment’s notice.

At this moment, a massive, ice-blue, two-winged dragon, its streamlined body covered in sharp scales, swam leisurely near the surface, a sprawling palace, hundreds of kilometers wide, on its back.

The Sea Wing Jiao, one of the culprits behind the Pure Water Demon Palace’s attack on the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, a spirit beast now accepted only by Water Moon Shadow.

The Pure Water Demon Palace had also joined Water Moon Shadow, its five legendary beings, including the Fallen Heaven Contract and the Sea Wing Jiao, pledging their allegiance, now responsible for carrying the former Sea Concubine Palace structures.

While other factions used Saint-rank transport spirit beasts, only the Sea Concubine Palace used wild legendary spirit beasts as mobile islands.

The Sea Wing Jiao’s body, over a million meters long, could easily carry the Sea Concubine Palace’s buildings, though its occasional playful rolls did cause some panic.

At this moment, on the Sea Wing Jiao’s back, the newly arrived Spirit Masters of the Sea Concubine Palace marveled at the scene.

This was Water Moon Shadow, the most powerful faction in the Sea Region, home of Shui Yuefei, the Water Moon Concubine.

Nearly twenty legendary beings, their auras palpable, a sight once unimaginable.

A few years ago, the aura of a single legendary being had been enough to devastate an entire region, and now, they were coexisting peacefully with these mortals.

“This massive palace is the Sea Dou Hall, the Sea Concubine Palace’s training arena, where the Water Moon Concubine’s scorpion battled the Lunar Colossus Servant.”

“That ornate, crystal structure over there is the Mission Hall, once managed by the Water Moon Concubine, though she left for the Heavy Rain Realm after only a few months…”

“And that large, icy hot spring up ahead… the Water Moon Concubine used to bathe there every day when she was young. Of course, it’s been cleaned since then, so please don’t drink from it.”

A red-haired woman in an instructor’s uniform, giving a tour to a group of new recruits, her words eliciting a few giggles.

“Instructor Hong Tao, I heard you once fought alongside the Water Moon Concubine. Is that true?”

“Hmph, of course it’s true. The Water Moon Concubine even tricked me into thinking she was Elder Shui Qinghou’s illegitimate daughter, Shui Qingyue…”

Hearing a disciple’s curious question, Hong Tao puffed up, eager to share some embarrassing stories about the Sorrowful Saintess.

After four years, she was no longer the naive young woman she had once been, her figure now mature and alluring, though her personality seemed unchanged.

However, as she was about to continue, she felt a chilling gaze upon her and quickly shut her mouth.

“This child… still so reckless…”

Within a cultivation room in the Sea Concubine Palace’s main hall, a beautiful woman with two large buns sighed, a slightly exasperated expression on her face.

Shui Qinghou, Grand Elder of the Sea Concubine Palace, her figure voluptuous, her personality gentle, her talent remarkable, and most importantly, the Water Moon Concubine’s teacher and adoptive mother, the highest-ranking human within Water Moon Shadow.

Behind her, the umbrella woman, a shadowy, unsettling figure, stood respectfully.

The Umbrella Immortal, having been promoted from the Sorrowful Saintess’s maid to Shui Qinghou’s guardian spirit beast, despite not being a lord-level legendary being, now held a high position within the Sea Concubine Palace.

However, the more time it spent with Shui Qinghou, the stranger she seemed.

This woman… there was something… off about her…

Officially the Grand Elder of the Sea Concubine Palace, Shui Qinghou was, in secret, the leader of the Sorrowful Saintess’s fan club, often organizing questionable events that disrupted the normal functioning of the palace.

A few years ago, Shui Yingge, then Palace Master, had tried to rein her in, but now, she seemed to have given up, allowing her to run wild.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a powerful shockwave, like a thunderclap, echoed through Water Moon Shadow, causing the Umbrella Immortal’s fur to stand on end.

It looked around nervously, but Shui Qinghou, seemingly oblivious, was using her abilities to observe the activities within the Sea Concubine Palace.

Such a powerful aura, imperceptible to ordinary beings, only detectable by legendary spirit beasts…

But the Water Moon Concubine had only been gone for a few months. How could she have grown so much stronger?

Such terrifying power… If it wasn’t the Water Moon Concubine, then it was a being far beyond Water Moon Shadow’s capabilities.

[It’s me.]

However, before the Umbrella Immortal could send a warning, a familiar, cold voice silenced it.

The Umbrella Immortal turned and saw the blue-haired woman in the bathrobe standing before it, her hand gently stroking its hair.

The woman’s beautiful face, her teardrop eyes radiating a gentle warmth, her hand phasing through the Umbrella Immortal’s shimmering barrier.

[You’ve worked hard.]

“I…” The Umbrella Immortal’s voice trembled, its eyes fixed on the beautiful, blue-haired woman, tears welling up.

Just how powerful had the Water Moon Concubine become?

Just her presence evoked a sense of awe and… fear.

Could Water Moon Shadow, under her rule, challenge even the Ten Sacred Domains?
