Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess
Chapter 857: Physique
With the moonlight from the full moon falling directly on Yue Xuexia’s cocoon, the two men who were watching the scene were calm and collected. Since they both know the identity of the one inside the cocoon, such a mystical scene didn’t surprise them at all. After a while a short silence descended in the area. Since none of the two men had started a conversation, this silence lasted until the Thunder King finished one stick of his tobacco.
However, in the end, this silence was broken by Lei Yuye who asked some questions to the Immortal Sun Emperor. Even though the Immortal Sun Emperor is famous, he is more well-known for his ability to control the sun and his trademark features of blazing crimson hair. Even though he is a handsome man himself, another man wouldn’t stare long at another man’s face unless he is attracted to another man.
Moreover, the Thunder King is from an older generation than the Immortal Sun Emperor and their interactions are so minimal that they only know each other by their title like the Thunder King and the Sun Emperor. Likewise, because of the previous relationship of the Immortal Sun Emperor and his timid wife, the Moon Empress, the Regal Lei Clan didn’t have any good impression of him. They see him as a man who couldn’t even take care of his wife and a man who married a woman for her family’s power.
Among those from the Regal Lei Clan, the Thunder King who liked his niece like his own daughter, didn’t like the Immortal Sun Emperor and believed that he was a man who didn’t deserve his niece. Who would have thought that one day that these two men who never had any interaction would meet like this in such a small courtyard and would get along enough to have tea together.
Lei Yuye asked, "Brat, what is your name?"
"... Shen Jueyang," The Immortal Sun Emperor answered.
"The name is Lei Yuye, I am Xue’er’s uncle from the Regal Lei Clan. I heard from the family servant that you were in the ruins and knew what happened to Xue’er, can you tell me a clearer detail? The kids cannot explain things properly, especially about the Primordial Lightning God."
The Immortal Sun Emperor knew that the Regal Lei Clan had all the rights to know what happened to their Pregnitor.
"There is indeed a soul wisp left behind by the Primordial Lightning God in the treasure land but right now even that is gone. These two black lightning dragons used to be his and now that they had signed a contract with Xue’er meant only one thing," said Shen Jueyang.
The Immortal Sun Emperor didn’t need to complete the sentence for the Thunder King to understand what is the ending of the Primordial Lightning God. Unlike the other gods like the Minor Gods, and Creation Gods, who can have the same title and a bit similar abilities, with Ancient Gods almost extinct, the Primordial God can only have a ruler for each attribute. Once the legacy is passed on to someone the original Primordial God can enter reincarnation to begin new life or disappear forever. For this reason alone, the Primordial Gods are limited in number yet they are the top of all gods in existence.
Lei Yuye smiled lightly and murmured, "Xue’er is this era’s Primordial Lightning Goddess. This is good news. But it would make those two old men from two clans bicker again."
"Tell me something about her soul injuries. Though I noticed something was wrong with it when we first met, if you know something about it can you tell me what you know?" He asked.
The Immortal Sun Emperor recalled that the first time the Thunder King and the Moon Goddess met was all thanks to that useless disciple of his who was taken by the people from the soul hall.
Shen Jueyang says, "When you first meet Xue’er, her soul injuries at that time are not because of real injuries but because she refuses to merge soul with her soul fragment. That problem had been resolved, as for the current soul injuries, this is because she saved her foster son who was chosen as the heir to the seat of the Primordial Death God."
"She had interfered to save the child and got injured. As you had noticed, Xue’er vessel is weak compared to her soul and she is stronger at her soul state. So when she had saved the boy, she was in her soul state and was injured by then and because of this injury that she is unable to utilize her real realm."
Sigh~
"Sometimes being too attached has some disadvantages," muttered the Thunder King.
He can already imagine the whole scene in his head. It can be said that the Regal Lei Clan is sometimes too emotional because they were too overprotective to the point of sacrificing themselves for those they like that most of them are short lived. However, he had no words to say to his niece. He can warn him but that would be too half-hearted as he knew that if the ones he likes were touched, he also wouldn’t hesitate and use his full powers to protect them.
Lei Yuye looked at the purple cocoon in front of them and said, "She should be coming out soon. The source of lightning in her had shrunk quite a bit and her body had undergone evolution."
"If she wakes up will her body be the same as the divine body the Regal Lei Clan possessed?" Shen Jueyang asked.
He knew that the direct descendants of the Primordial Lightning God were not only born with Lightning God’s bloodline but also his physique. This divine body is called the Lightning God’s Divine Armor. Only the royal blood can awaken a full armor and collateral clans can only awaken a part of it. This armor not only is as hard as dragon scales but even protects them from the lightning tribulation. There is also the fact that the Regal Lei Clan was a family of lunatics that isn’t afraid of divine punishment.
The Thunder King, Lei Yuye, said, "No, the divine armor was something that was created by the current ancestor to utilize the lightning god’s bloodline in us despite having a divine body. However, the Primordial Lightning God didn’t have a divine body; instead , he possessed Immortal lighting runes that covered his whole body. This not only gives the vessel the effects of immortality but also allows him to gain full command over all lightning in this world."
"The Lightning God’s Divine Armor is simply a simplified version. After all, the Primordial Lightning God doesn’t wear armor and possesses an immortal body that isn’t afraid of even divine artifacts being able to pierce through it. If Xue’er had truly awakened as this era’s Primordial Lightning God then when she woke up you would see for yourself what my words meant."
The Immortal Sun Emperor, Shen Jueyang, didn’t expect to hear this kind of explanation. The Lei Clan’s Divine Lightning Armor is already well known and it was hard even for him to destroy it. Now someone told him that the Primordial Lightning God never wore any armor when fighting and only fought with his flesh alone and this body was immortal due to some ancient runes covering his body making his skin itself tougher and thicker than a divine grade armor itself. This is simply unbelievable. But the person who told him all this is one of the pure blood princes of the Regal Lei Clan, there is no need for him to lie to him. The Thunder King’s personality is never the kind to lie. He is a straightforward man.
This decent relationship between the Sun Emperor and the Thunder King lasted for another week. They would spar against each other lightly at the open area within the small courtyard and their life had been peaceful since then while waiting for Yue Xuexia to wake up.

On the other hand, at the Hidden Tang Sect...
Ever since the last time they were saved by the Moon Goddess from someone’s schemes, they had been working on making the sect return to its former glory. The treasures they had received as compensation from the Immortal Sun Empire’s Great General Shen Taiyang and the Immortal Star Emperor, Xing Xieju had greatly helped the clan. Plus, with the support of the Tan Clan, the sect had gotten even more stable than before.
However, recently there is another problem. The Du Clan started pressuring them again and this time they are using the Fairy Queen’s name to coerce them to submit to them. Of course, the Tang Sect is unwilling but some of them who wanted to return to the Inner Haven were having other thoughts. The Tan Clan was even more unwilling, but because they weren’t officially included to the ranks of the Sect, some elders were unsatisfied with them. They felt they were too meddlesome. Such conflict within the sect is causing some estranged relationship between the current Tang Sect leader and the the Tan Family,
