Upon hearing Joe Di's words, Sherry Xuan revealed an expression of understanding. She immediately raised her hand and set up several soundproofing restrictions around herself and Joe Di, then chuckled, "That's right. Luna Fairchild is not only the most beautiful in Celestial Moon City, but even in the entire Taiji Realm, she is unmatched in beauty."
As she spoke, she instinctively lowered her voice. "Any male cultivator who sees Luna Fairchild will find it nearly impossible to forget her. But, my friend, I suggest you just look and ask; whatever you do, don’t dwell on her. Otherwise, you’ll be the one who gets hurt in the end."
Joe Di asked in surprise, "Why is that?"
Sherry Xuan pointed outside. "You know who the City Lord of Celestial Moon City is, right?"
Seeing Joe Di nod, Sherry Xuan continued, "Yes, it's Jason Ren, the Hall Master of Moonspire Temple. Jason Ren is not only the Hall Master of Moonspire Temple, but also the City Lord of Celestial Moon City. He has an only son named Henry Ren. Once, Henry Ren accompanied his father to the Prime Essence World and, by chance, encountered Luna Fairchild. From that moment on, he could never forget her…"
"Wait a moment." Joe Di quickly interrupted Sherry Xuan. "Daoist Xuan, you mentioned the Prime Essence World. What kind of place is that?"
When Joe Di first heard about the Taiji Realm, he hadn't recalled the Primordial World. But upon hearing about the Prime Essence World again, he immediately remembered the Primordial World he'd once heard of.
He had heard that many domains in the void where the Void Market was located were part of the Primordial World. The Primordial World wanted to restore its entire domain and was planning to target realms like the Sacred Dao Realm.
Now it was Sherry Xuan's turn to be surprised. She looked at Joe Di in confusion. After more than ten breaths, she finally asked, "My friend, you don't know about the Prime Essence World?"
Joe Di could only force a bitter smile. "I really don't know. I've been in seclusion for a long time and just came out not long ago. How could I know so much?"
Sherry Xuan shook her head speechlessly. "My friend, that has nothing to do with seclusion. If you try to find a few cultivators in the Taiji Realm who don't know about the Prime Essence World, you'd have a hard time."
"Please enlighten me, Daoist Ren." Joe Di quickly cupped his fists. He had just arrived in the Taiji Realm, and this information was crucial to him.
Sherry Xuan explained, "In our universe, there are five great realms. But I've only ever been in the Taiji Realm and haven't visited the others. These five realms are Supreme Ease, Primordial World, Prime Origin, Prime Essence, and Taiji. Each realm is not only a top-tier divine domain, but also represents one of the supreme world-creating techniques."
Unfortunately, this universe has undergone countless ages of change. Supreme Ease, Primordial World, Prime Origin, and Prime Essence have all been restored from their fragmentation, but only our Taiji Realm remains broken and gets worse by the day. I suspect that if this keeps up, the Supreme Ease Realm will eventually vanish from the universe altogether."
"Why?" Joe Di asked in confusion.
Sherry Xuan replied, "Because back then, the Realm Lord and Dao Sovereign of the Taiji Realm was Zachary Kong, a man of great benevolence and vision. He even became sworn brothers with Damian Ning, the Dao Lord of the Prime Essence World, and both advanced to the third step. But it’s said they got caught up in a great war and vanished completely. The other realms are different; either they never had someone reach the third step, or they already had a complete structure and plan, so they only grew stronger. Without a leader, the Taiji Realm fell into endless chaos and fragmentation. Over the years, it’s only gotten worse."
"Thank you for clearing that up, Daoist. Please, tell me more about Luna Fairchild." Joe Di knew it would take months to fully understand all these matters, so he decided to skip the details. To him, these weren’t important right now.
Sherry Xuan smiled slightly. "Luna Fairchild is actually a genius from Serene Carp Palace in the Prime Essence World, and she’s considered one of its greatest beauties. Her original name was Luna Fairchild, and she nearly became Damian Ning’s Dao partner. When Henry Ren, the Young Lord of Moonspire Temple, saw Luna Fairchild, he could never forget her."
Jason Ren, the Hall Master of Moonspire Temple, dotes on his only son. He actually went to Serene Carp Palace in the Prime Essence World to propose marriage on Henry's behalf. Moonspire Temple is one of the top sects in our Taiji Realm, but to Serene Carp Palace in the Prime Essence World, it’s not much at all. Jason Ren was turned away at the door."
Joe Di secretly sighed at how domineering Serene Carp Palace was. With so many suitors for one daughter, if they didn’t agree, so be it—but to drive someone out was a bit much.
But Jason Ren was not willing to give up. He went to Serene Carp Palace again, even bringing along a friend who was close to the palace. This time, perhaps out of respect for the friend, Serene Carp Palace didn’t turn Jason Ren away. Instead, they made a condition: if Moonspire Temple could offer the Lunar Heart and the Radiant Heart as betrothal gifts, the marriage might be possible." Sherry Xuan paused here, as if she herself found the request unbelievable.
Thinking of what he wanted, Joe Di quickly interjected, "I've heard the Lunar Heart and Radiant Heart are extremely rare treasures. How could anyone possibly obtain both at once?"
Sherry Xuan sighed, "Who wouldn't agree? I heard that back in the day, Damian Ning of the Prime Essence World searched all across the void for a single Radiant Heart, and only managed to obtain one after nearly losing his life. Serene Carp Palace made this demand clearly to make Jason Ren back down."
But Joe Di knew that the marriage did happen, and Luna Fairchild was now in Celestial Moon City.
"But Luna Fairchild is in Celestial Moon City now," Joe Di said.
Sherry Xuan nodded. "Exactly. Serene Carp Palace set such an impossible condition, but Jason Ren actually fulfilled it. That shows how powerful he is, and..."
Sherry Xuan lowered her voice again. "And let me tell you something else. Rumor has it Jason Ren is the true successor of Zachary Kong, and even obtained a copy of the Human King Codex from him."
"Human King Codex?" Joe Di felt the name sounded familiar.
