Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 711: Entering the Ruins
After breakfast the group spent their daily lives normally in the mansion at the mountain peak. A month later, the group of friends once again gathered this time for a different reason. This time they were wearing cultivation robes which are used for training equipped with real weapons and everything they need in entering a ruin. This is especially true for Ru Yunlan, Han Haerin and Xiao Muen. They will most likely be put into harsher training compared to Ru Lanyu, Lin Ruri and Han Yoonjun who still possess young bodies that can’t bear hard training.
It was decided that the last three will enter with them for increasing their cultivation realm and to spend time inside where time is faster compared to here, in their world. They would most likely stay there for a decade or so and when they come out, it would only be a few years in reality of the mortal realm. Moreover inside the ruins, Yue Xuexia will have her clone protect them while closely watching the three who would venture in an adventure inside looking for their own opportunities. It’s not like they are in a hurry as they can only leave the ruin as they reach the Huashen realm.
Yue Xuexia looked at the group who would be coming in with her. She had also called for Tan Bingyu and her dao companion to accompany them inside. After all, such opportunities might not be much for people of this couple’s level, but the qi inside will be useful to stabilize their qi and accumulate more. So that when they ascend with the Moon Goddess they will not suffer much on the way.
"Before we enter inside the ruins, Lanyu, Ruri and Yoonjun will be placed inside my small world temporarily and I will release you inside after I make an isolation barrier for you so that the world’s heavenly will inside will not treat you as intruders who broke his rules. Though you can only stay within the barrier, the qi of that world and every treasure in there can be given to you."
"I will find a way to individually hide your presence so you can also move around inside the ruin. But I will only allow you to do that if you reach Peak Jindan or Yuanying realm. After all, in that place there are a lot of spirits and demonic beasts and creatures of the Yuanying realm and above."
"Muen, Haerin, Yunlan, you three will wander around the place and find the treasures and opportunities that are for you. Bingyu and Renxue will keep an eye on you but they will only interfere if your life is in great danger. In short, only when you are dying would they appear to save you. Aside for that, you will be on your own inside."
The atmosphere in the room becomes a bit tense yet the three who were mentioned were calmed. They knew that in this ruin, they will not have the protection of the moon goddess and that unless they are dying they will truly be alone. So whatever happened inside all actions they made will be their own responsibility. Though this sounds cold, in the cultivation world, killing for treasures, uprooting family due to greed and hatred, or being kidnapped for your special physique or something else is all possible. Only strength speaks the loudest.
Under the protection of the Moon Goddess they do not have to worry about such. Now that they do not have that kind of protection it is time for them to temper themselves.
Yue Xuexia said, "Before I forgot to tell you, these ruins, like the ancient ruins that appeared from the Cultivation Realm from before, had also allowed other outsiders from the other worlds to enter. You might meet people from the upper realms."
"Their cultivation realms will never be stronger than yours but equal and I have prevented them from entering with special means like precious artifacts and all. There is no advantage for them except that maybe their techniques will be different than yours. Even so, don’t fear them. You and them are on the same level in this world."
"Fight if you want to get stronger. Kill if you want to survive and gain strength if you want to break through. As long as you keep this in mind, you will not lose to them."
The six of them nodded in agreement and were affected by the Moon Goddess’s words. After all, almost everyone who entered the path of cultivation wished to get stronger and live longer or become immortals.

At the Dragon Race’s territory...
Yue Xuexia’s arrival with her small team had caught everyone’s attention. The elder dragons were already informed about this special group with two among them being the heir of the Moon Empress. Once she ascends in the future, the new leaders of this planet will most likely be Han Haerin and Ru Yunlan. With Xiao Muen and the others supporting them.
Ru Lanyu, Lin Ruri and Han Yoonjun had been placed in Yue Xuexia’s small world temporarily. Yue Xuexia will let them out once they enter the ruins. The dragon kings had all gathered saluting to Yue Xuexia who responded to them with a nod.
"I will open the door to these ruins ahead of the scheduled time. I hope everyone gets whatever they want to achieve inside."
The Moon Goddess controlled the space elements in the door and opened the door for them. This door was only supposed to be open a decade later as decreed by the rules of the law inside. But with her interference, they were able to open the door ahead of time, though it would open again on its scheduled time.
The huge door that was tightly closed and wouldn’t open no matter what shook under the control of the Moon Goddess. With a script of ancient ruin language created by Yue Xuexia’s qi, it entered and removed the restriction on the door. With a light push from her, the door finally opened revealing a huge portal.
Yue Xuexia said, "The door is open. You may go inside."
The first one to enter was Yue Xuexia’s clone, followed by Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue. It was only after that did Xiao Muen, Han Haerin and Ru Yunlan follow them in. Once they were inside, the other cultivators who were listed to enter had also entered the portal.
Upon entering the portal, the people who went inside will be split among themselves within the ruins. With Yue Xuexia’s control over the space, she had prevented the separation of the group. They landed in some kind of desert area.
The five who were with her looked around in such an unknown area. Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue looked calm yet their divine consciousness was spread all over the place. As for Xiao Muen, Ru Yunlan and Han Haerin, they all had their guards up watching out for anything that may appear before them.
Xiao Muen said, "This is... a desert?"
"This place isn’t suitable for me to bring out the other three. Let’s move on for now," said Yue Xuexia.
Of course, she didn’t make a decision which direction they will head. She was only here to accompany them after all. Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue were also not speaking up any suggestions. They were told by their mistress to only give advice once or twice at things that are hard for them to guess.
Xiao Muen remembered to use his divine consciousness to investigate ahead a few meters.
"There is only sand within a hundred meter radius. For now, let’s walk around in one direction." Xiao Muen said.
Ru Yunlan said, "In the next hundred meters, I will be the next one to check on the surroundings."
The group started walking and followed the path where the sun rises. After reaching another hundred meters, Ru Yunlan was the next one to spread his divine consciousness. This time he found something unusual.
Ru Yunlan said, "I found a rocky area not far from here. We can rest there for a while."
"Is there no other presence in this place?" Han Haerin asked. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Xiao Muen said, "I don’t feel any presence but... there is something strange in this place."
In the mind of Ru Yunlan, the soul fragment of the Death God speaks up.
He said, [There is a scent of death in this place. It’s a suitable location for you to cultivate. However, a place with the scent of death is not suitable for your uncle and the little girl. Also, there is a huge creature trailing your group under the sand. The Moon goddess and her subordinates had most likely noticed it seeing how they shifted to move at both of your sides, rendering the creature from secretly dragging you three who are the weakest in this group.]
’What is the thing following us?’ Ru Yunlan asked in his mind as he frowned.
[Nothing. Just an Earth sandworm in Mid Yuanying Realm.] the death god’s soul fragment said.
All of the sudden, Ru Yunlan stops his tracks and turns back behind at the rear with a frown. Xiao Muen and Han Haerin noticed his reaction and realized that he might have felt something to react like this.
Han Haerin asked, "Brother, what’s wrong?"
"Is there something chasing us from behind," said Ru Yunlan with a frown.
Confused. Xiao Muen asked, "How did you..."
WHOOSH!!
Something had come out of the sand from behind them. It was a large creature with a hideous big mouth and a big size. It was a huge worm with sharp, rows of teeth and had the intention of attacking them.
