Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 714: Pyramid

In the desert area inside the ruins...

Ru Yunlan following the directions the Death God’s soul fragment in him had pointed at, they finally reached the center of the whole desert area. In the middle of this area is a huge and towering pyramid as if reaching the skies above. The peak of the pyramid was covered in clouds and it was unknown what was hidden there. Moreover, it was not only him who had noticed this strange place. There are other cultivators in the sky flying like him and a few on the ground near the foot of the pyramid.

{Hmm~ this place has caught the other’s attention. Be careful. There are at least three Peak Yuanying Realm and one Early Huashen Realm cultivator in the area. As for the rest, you can defeat them easily.}

The voice of the death god’s soul fragment said in his head. He had longed to return to Ru Yunlan’s body as he didn’t want to appear before the other cultivators. Moreover, materializing costs him qi and it’s a bit tiring for him to do so.

Ru Yunlan is wearing a black ancient robe his godmother had made from him. It was created from unknown materials which he didn’t know about but the death god in his head said it was made from a dragon king’s scales and something made to protect his heart and mind from the death qi. It was also designed so it wouldn’t hinder his movements when fighting with his fist and body. There is also a sword that he rarely uses as most of his opponents can be solved by his fist.

"Why is there a pyramid in this place?" Ru Yunlan mumbles as he recognizes the triangular building before him.

This is something the modern world possesses and can be considered the graveyard of an old king in one of the foreign countries of the mortal realm. He never expected something like this would appear in a place like ruins. However, what he didn’t know was that this ruin might have the ancient ruin taken over by the Moon Goddess but it was recreated by the system using everything the Exiled Star had and integrated with this ruin creating a new whole world different from the ancient ruins the other cultivators know about.

Even the old graveyard of the fallen gods was added into it, hidden within the terrain waiting for the destined one to enter the trial and be tested. It’s because of this that those who knew buildings and sceneries of the modern civilization will have advantage in this world. Something the Heavenly Will of the Exiled Star intentionally created so the people of his world would easily find their opportunities.

For cultivators from the other worlds, some buildings like the pyramid were something they had never seen before. That’s why they didn’t know the entrance and thought that the door to enter inside was located at the peak hidden within the cluster of clouds. Well a stairway was intentionally made to confuse them after all.

With a wave of his hand, the Death God’s soul fragment had hidden their presences and isolated the sound for them to only hear each other and not others hearing their conversation

{You know this building. I didn’t even see this kind of place before. What with that strange shape is the peak truly the entrance as the stairway suggests?}

"There is indeed an entrance at the peak but that is not the real entrance. If you enter from there you will waste a lot of time reaching the important places in this pyramid. This building is most likely the whole peak and the one within the clouds is just the tip. The real interior of his building is located below." Ru Yunlan said.

The death god’s soul fragment couldn’t believe what he had just heard. If this towering building before them was just the peak then how big is this place. He tried to spread his divine consciousness to see through the sand and was dumbfounded. It seems that the words of Ru Yunlan are a fact. What they are seeing is truly just the tip of the building, the one buried under the sand is the real palace.

{You aren’t joking. The one underground is indeed the biggest area. The problem is where to enter.}

"Have you forgotten that aside from formation, godmother also taught me divination. The problem is that I might get struck by lightning." Ru Yunlan said.

Though he isn’t much afraid of tribulation lightning due to his special body, it still hurts. It hurt a lot more than the medicinal bath his godmother had made from them before.

{It’s just lightning. It’s good to get struck by it. It will temper your body more. Why do you think that during tribulations who gets struck by it when the Moon Goddess can just let you get promoted if she wished to? She wanted to temper your bodies so you can have better protection. You even have a treasure like Tribulation Pills. Such a thing is rare even in the Upper Realm worlds.}

"Really? But Godmother can make some whenever someone breakthroughs among us." Ru Yunlan said.

{Brat, not every cultivator is fearless against divine lightning. Your physique can block it with your death qi, as it’s an energy unique and could repel it. As for you godmother, she is even more of a cheat, despite being a descendant that was born from the Moon, she is also born with a lightning god’s bloodline. For them, lightning is a source of power and something they will never be afraid of. That’s how overpowered your godmother is.}

"That’s good then. No one will be able to bully her even if she ascends!" Ru Yunlan said as he was moving his finger making some calculations even during their conversation.

When he finally found the entrance through his divination, Ru Yunlan happily exclaimed, "I found it!"

Boom!

Before he could even react a divine lightning had struck him rendering the barrier the Death God’s soul fragment had created useless. Ru Yunlan fell on the sand under him and almost swallowed a mouthful of it. With slightly burnt hair, he glares at heaven.

Cough. Cough! Phew~

Ru Yunlan’s scene of being struck by lightning was witnessed by almost everyone. They even mistake this lightning strike as a punishment for breaking the laws around the trial site.

"Someone was struck by lightning!?"

"Are there rules of flying around the building!?"

"Descend! If you got struck it would be unknown if you can live!"

"Hey! That brother is still alive. Is the punishment not that bad?"

All of the sudden, someone tried to fly directly to the peak of the building and was also struck by the lightning. Unlike the lightning that struck Ru Yunlan as punishment, this lightning was deadly. The cultivator who was hit immediately turned to ashes under it and everyone was frightened.

"He turned into ashes!"

"Fuck! Who said that lightning isn’t deadly!"

"Go down! Down! You cannot directly fly towards the peak!"

Meanwhile, Ru Yunlan was cleaning himself after falling directly to the sand below him. That fall allowed the sand to enter his robes and made him feel uncomfortable. He had to shake his clothing to remove all the sand. As for his burned hair he can only use cleanse on it for it to return to normal after cutting the burned parts.

"This is why I don’t like using that skill! I would get hit by lightning everytime I do it!" grumbles Ru Yunlan.

While he was grumbling after being hit by lightning, some cultivators of his age had approached him. They were wearing some kind of uniformed colored sect robes with a vine crest. There is no sect in the mortal realm that uses this crest meaning that these people were from another world where the door of these ruins had appeared.

"Brother, are you alright? You suddenly got struck by lightning but didn’t get guild. Did you do something to get punished by the trial site?" A gentle looking young man with a fan in his hand said.

Ru Yunlan observed the small group of cultivators in front of him. There are only four cultivators, two females and two males. One of the male cultivators was the one who had spoken to him. After observing the four of them, he noticed a strong vitality of life in them which is not suitable for this place and he frowned.

The other three felt that their companion’s questioning might have offended the young man. However, that gentle looking companion of theirs had this kind of personality, he was born with a loose mouth.

One of the female cultivators pinched the man who questioned Ru Yunlan and said, "Stop talking. He is not your friend. Hold your tongue!"

"Shijie (Senior Sister), I was just curious. Two people were punished. How come one of them turned to ashes but he is still alive." The gentle looking man with a loose mouth said.

The other male cultivator possessed a slight burly body which matches the greatsword on his back. He steps forward and apologizes for his junior brother.

"Please forgive this fool. There is no need to answer his questions."

"Let’s go. Let’s find the entrance." The stern looking last female young lady as she asked their group to take their leave.

Ru Yunlan, thinking that these people might not be bad people, gave them a warning.

"Wait. This place isn’t suitable for you. If you truly need one, there is another place. Find a forest. That might suit you guys more."
