Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 978 - 96: Qi Yue Goddess Statue

Even though earlier Fa Xiaoyi had already sent word to Sky Witch Village that Yue Jinghua was still alive, the entire village boiled over when Yue Jinghua and her Titan appeared at the village entrance.

Before Yue Jinghua got close to the village, she was surrounded by a group of children.

All the children shouted in unison, "The July Goddess has returned."

The voices of the children drifted through the streets and alleys, causing thousands in the village to come out; every face bore a kind smile, and no one showed a hint of unfamiliarity upon seeing Yue Jinghua.

Yue Jinghua did not understand why this was happening.

But as she was surrounded by the children and entered Sky Witch Village, she found a statue in the village square similar to the ones at Five Saints Square and the Dragon Slayer Hero.

Some other children came running out; they were the same ones Yue Jinghua had met earlier in the delta grass.

The children were overly frightened; upon returning to the village, they saw the familiar July Goddess statue and suddenly remembered that the girl who had saved them in the delta was the July Goddess.

Back then, to protect Four Symbols City, Yue Jinghua self-destructed her inner core. Although she vanished for a century, she did not disappear from people’s memories.

But the members of the July Mercenary Corps didn’t believe she was dead; they thought Yue Jinghua would return someday.

To make that wish come true sooner, Qian Luo proposed building the July Goddess statue modeled after Yue Jinghua.

On the Bilun Continent, there’s a saying: "When united, they can cut through gold."

A statue is a special kind of divine artifact; as long as people’s hearts are sincere and persistent, the statue absorbs their wishes, and it makes dreams come true.

Regardless of whether the customs of Bilun Continent and Canglong Continent are similar, the kind villagers believed this saying. They built the goddess statue, and enshrined it at home and in the square. Over time, everyone knew of the July Goddess and the goddess’s dragon-slaying story.

Yue Jinghua didn’t expect that the matter of divine status and faith that Yue Potian had always wanted had already happened to her.

No wonder when she was in the Emperor Nan Pearl, battling for control of her body against the young pearl, each time she was on the losing side, a mysterious force seemed to support her.

Thinking back now, this must be what they call the power of faith.

Yue Jinghua did not have her own divine status, but she already had a group of loyal followers. This was truly a case of inadvertently planting willow trees, yet seeing them turn into a shade-giving grove.

Yue Jinghua reunited with her comrades, but the joy of reunion was greatly diminished by the unrest caused by the Sun Dragon Clan’s rising activity.

Yet Shalman couldn’t help but cry uncontrollably.

"Shalman, I told you not to cry anymore; besides, crying is bad for the baby in your belly," Yue Jinghua just realized her friend Shalman was pregnant, and she and Compass already had a daughter and son, with the third child on the way.

Yue Jinghua has never been immune to women’s tears.

She protested to Shalman while discussing with the mercenary group members about traveling to the Chen Plane.

"It’s no big deal; I’ve had two, childbirth is simple, even faster than a Dark Beast laying eggs," Shalman said with a reddened nose, only showing a girlish demeanor in front of her friend Yue Jinghua, "I want to go to the Chen Plane with you, trust me, I’m formidable now; I can absolutely protect myself."

Compass listened to this, feeling overwhelmed, gave Yue Jinghua a pleading look, "My dear wife, don’t get mixed up. I know you’re worried about the head, but you should look after your belly. The head has his concerns too. Rest assured, I’ll accompany her to the Chen Plane."

The other members of the July Mercenary Corps also vied to join Yue Jinghua on her journey.

Over a century, not only have Shalman and her husband made breakthroughs, but others in the team have too; however, compared to Compass, aided by the divine rune, achieving a major breakthrough like the Body Seizing Realm, Feng Buhui and Qin Dongting remain at the peak of the Dan Realm, just shy of the Body Seizing Realm.

"No need to argue. Qian Luo will accompany me. Compass, stay behind with Shalman for the delivery; Feng Buhui and Qin Dongting, you two go to the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone for final training; perhaps before the Sun Dragon Clan’s second attack, you can achieve the Body Seizing Realm, which will be very beneficial for the upcoming defense of Four Symbols City," Yue Jinghua had already made her plans before arriving.

Her Titan was damaged during the last crossing to the Moon Plane, traversing the Wind Snow Cave.

This time, she traveled here on a regular military ship from the Dragon War Empire, which is incapable of enduring another plane crossing.

However, she learned from Shalman that they bred a new type of Sky Beast for the Snow Domain Shepherdess Snake Clan. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

This Sky Beast, an improvement on the Sky Rubbing Beasts captured during the Second Prince of Dark Demon’s invasion, can withstand the harsh weather of the Wind Snow Cave and freely cross the plane prohibition into the Chen Plane.

Yue Jinghua chose Qian Luo not only because he’s single but also because he has experience in safely crossing the Wind Snow Cave, which will help her as she plans to ride the Sky Beast to the Chen Plane.

The reason for sending Feng Buhui and others to the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone is also due to the mysterious insights gained when Yue Jinghua broke through to the Dan Realm.

According to records in Qing Pu’s Summoning Treasure Book, the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone is one of the few stable chaos realms among the Four Great Planes, harboring inexplicable mysterious forces.

This mysterious force is likely related to powerful creatures like the Ancient Witch Dragon.

Although Yue Jinghua was unable to find clues about the Witch Dragon, she thought of the possibility that if she could find a breakthrough in the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone, Feng Buhui and Qin Dongting, who are close to breakthroughs, might also find similar opportunities.

This is also why she brought a group of Imperial City playboys to the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone and left them there along with Feng Buhui and Qin Dongting.

She believes that in a month, both the playboys and Feng Buhui and Qin Dongting will gain significant benefits.

Yue Jinghua has always kept her words and actions consistent; her decisions were met with nods of agreement from Compass and others.

Before heading to the Snow Domain with Qian Luo, Yue Jinghua went to Four Symbols City.

Before leaving the Shang Kingdom, Yue Jinghua harvested some fresh Witch Beast Blood from Wu Mo; she remembered Qing Pu once told her that combining Witch Origin Soil and Witch Beast Blood could create Undead Witch Soldiers; she went to find Bai Sheng to share this method.

In doing so, even if Four Symbols City faced an attack from the Sun Dragon Clan, it would still have the strength to resist.

After entrusting her tasks, Yue Jinghua and Qian Luo set off for the Snow Domain, commencing their second plane-crossing journey.
