Chapter 1594: Chapter 1454: Purple Wanxiang City

New Moon Land, Wanxiang City.

As spring transitions into summer, hundreds of flowers bloom with joy in Wanxiang City.

This city is not filled with pollen and Spirit Butterflies like Xiangrong City, which is akin to a garden, but it is lush and refreshingly pleasant all around.

Recently, the streets and alleys of the city have been adorned with Purple Cluster Flowers, a special kind of flower whose stunning beauty spreads along shops and streets in neat array, looking like groups of graceful ladies in purple dresses when the wind blows.

Purple Cluster Flowers are also known as Marriage Binding Flowers in Wanxiang City. Normally, during weddings, people hang these flowers at their front doors, which is a common and celebratory practice.

However, people did not anticipate that when countless Purple Cluster Flowers are hung around the entire city, the dignified purple embellishments compose a stunningly enchanting pattern.

Many travelers from other places, upon entering the city and seeing these Purple Cluster Flowers, curiously ask if there’s a special festival taking place in New Moon Land, wondering why the entire city looks so dazzlingly beautiful, like a noble and luxurious lady.

At this point, passersby would smile and tell these travelers: “In a few days, it will be our king’s joyous wedding day, and the whole city will celebrate.”

Hanging Purple Cluster Flowers was not an official request from the palace, but something the citizens started on their own; where else could one find so many of those special purple flowers symbolizing marriage and romance?

“This is a beloved king indeed,” the visitors remarked with admiration.

“That’s natural; you probably can’t imagine, not long ago, our New Moon Land was still a closed world, dense in population, filled with disasters, and surrounded by Forbidden Regions that ordinary people dared not step into. But look at us now; those of us who dislike warfare can live peacefully in any city, ambitious young people easily surpassing their forefathers, their strengths greatly enhanced, and past disasters no longer affecting us… all thanks to our king,” an old man cheerfully claimed.

The Elder had watched New Moon Land change and had absolute right to speak, because after all, New Moon Land had existed for thousands of years, evolving from a barbaric place to now a Third-level Earthly Realm, comparable to some Frontier Cities, a concept unimaginable to its people in the past.

Moreover, New Moon Land is not as calm as it seems, with disasters like Henghai, Southern Forbidden Region, Northern Wasteland Hibernation Zone, and East Madness Forest occurring every few years. Chu Mu, from West Region to Wanxiang City, encountered three such huge disasters, each killing tens of thousands.

Beyond disasters, another terrifying menace is the plague!

No race could escape the silent grasp of the plague, which quietly arrives, silents takes lives, and leaves devastation behind.

Disasters, plague, and occasional wars and conflict had made the past New Moon Land significantly backward compared to other human domains.

But ever since Chu Mu became king and solely led New Moon Land, those fearsome disasters, plagues, and wars have been suppressed, with no further mass casualties.

This Elder was over a hundred years old and couldn’t help but admire this young king as he witnessed the changes in New Moon Land!

“Since this is such an exceptional king, the woman he is marrying must be incredibly beautiful and talented!” the travelers asked with a smile.

“Of course, she is as beautiful as the fairy from the Moon Palace drifting down to earth. Furthermore, she is also a very powerful Immortal Master!” the Elder’s grandson immediately chimed in.

“Immortal Master?” the travelers expressed their surprise.

An Immortal Master’s status is extremely important in both Struggle Land and Wupan Continent, surpassing any Immortal Level Powerhouse. The travelers had heard of New Moon Land’s swift rise but hadn’t expected that it had an Immortal Master, and a newlywed woman at that.

“Stay a few more days; the wedding will surely be very lively,” the Elder suggested with a smile after glancing at the travelers.

“Of course,” the travelers nodded.

The Elder walked away with his grandson, and after a short distance, he suddenly turned back and looked at the travelers, murmuring to himself, “Strange, why do I feel that the quiet young man in the middle looks familiar?”

Meanwhile, the travelers moved along the street filled with purple bouquets.

Not far along, one of the travelers, a veiled woman with exquisitely beautiful eyes, curiously asked the middle-aged young man, smiling, “Chu Mu, didn’t you say you are a rather irresponsible king? Why does everyone seem to adore you?”

“I’m not sure, probably the palace’s propaganda; I focus on cultivation, and most affairs are managed by my mother,” Chu Mu responded.

“Haha, that’s interesting. That old man and the kid actually didn’t recognize you,” another young male said.

The middle traveler was indeed Chu Mu, who had hurried back from Struggle City.

Not only Chu Mu was returning, but also Xia Yin, who cherished traveling and exploring, and Lin Mengling, who had long wished to go out and clear her mind.

The Dark King Shang incident has been nearly a month ago, and Chu Mu knew that upon entering Yin Valley, his identity was inevitably exposed in the eyes of some people, so it was necessary to forge some alliances to strengthen the power of his New Moon Land.

Xia Yin and Lin Mengling were the best allies. Xia Yin was the city master of Humble City, a prominent figure in an independent city. Yu Suo also told Chu Mu that Humble City was an extremely powerful and special existence, with the backing family only second to Hidden-Pupil Royal Family, definitely a strong ally.

And Lin Mengling, needless to say, is the precious daughter of the Great Sect Leader of Divine Sect, her position is even higher than the inheritance princesses of Mu Family Dynasty and Ning’s Dynasty. Lin Mengling was very interested in independent spaces, knowing that New Moon Land had several independent spaces, and she had intentions of visiting.

With such a prominent female Buddha coming, Chu Mu had no need to obstruct, and it could also add some popularity to his New Moon Land.

Lin Mengling and Xia Yin were both interested in visiting Wanxiang City, so this time Chu Mu did not enter the city with a high profile but instead led them in through the main gate as a host, and upon entering, they were mistaken by an elder as foreign visitors.

In fact, Lin Mengling and Xia Yin were indeed visitors.

Also arriving with them were Xu Daofeng and a judge sent by Xiao Xue’ang to protect Lin Mengling. This judge was taciturn, and Chu Mu hasn’t heard him speak even once, but it was clear that this judge was an expert.

“Chu Mu, where is the mansion you promised us?” Xu Daofeng still remembered this.

“I’ll have someone arrange it for you, and you can choose one you like later,” Chu Mu replied.

When Xu Daofeng entered the city, he sensed a strong aura — a nurturing aura indeed capable of allowing Soul Pets to progress on their own to some extent. As the residence is for long-term use, the cumulative effect on Soul Pets is very significant. Xu Daofeng and the people of New Moon Land were already acquainted, so he was not shy.

“Let’s head to the palace first,” Chu Mu led them along the main street.

This main street was exactly where Chu Mu once entered Wanxiang City alone, walking over countless corpses. That time, the ground was covered in blood flowers, but this time, purple bouquets blossomed everywhere… Unconsciously, many years had passed since those events.

“I’m not going, once we get to the palace it’ll definitely be all about meeting this person and that, I want to wander around the city,” Lin Mengling flatly refused.

“Chu Mu, we’re not tired. Having just arrived in this city, I’m quite interested in it. If you’re eager to see the bride, you can go back first,” Xia Yin said with a smile.

Chu Mu, not being pretentious, nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll send someone to pick you up later.”

After parting with the others, Chu Mu walked along the main street.

The street was bustling, full of people coming and going, yet no one noticed the presence of Chu Mu, who seemed to be leisurely strolling but with each step he took, he covered a vast distance. Within a few steps, Chu Mu had reached the silver, majestic palace stairs.

It had been less than two years since he left, yet Chu Mu felt as if he had been walking for a long time, walking on and on, and images that had kept him awake at nights recently flooded his mind.

Chaos ensued, the sky fell and the earth cracked, the steadfast silhouette and those complex, seemingly myriad-word-filled eyes.

Chu Mu looked up at the silver majestic palace, unable to take another step for a long time.

From the West Region all the way to the East, fighting through to become the King of New Moon Land after carving a bloody path in Wanxiang City, Chu Mu continued walking towards the east, never stopping.

Someone told him, the direction of the east is the direction of advancement. Chu Mu was always moving forward, not just to become stronger, but also firmly believing that the person who told him that phrase was also moving towards the east, and as long as he kept moving east, one day he would be able to meet him.

Chu Mu did meet him, but before he could say a word, he was swallowed up by a relentless Space Storm, at that moment Chu Mu’s feelings and beliefs were also crumbling in despair like those in Yin Valley.

Some people fade from memory over time.

But why, after so many years, had he never forgotten the words he had been told?

Chu Mu always believed–the figure was still imprinted in his mind, never blurred; then why, when that person stood in front of him merely veiled, could he not recognize him?

Monument Weepers…

So he was also a Monument Weeper.

Gradually, Chu Mu’s heart became increasingly restless, and inexplicably weary.
