The Beautiful are Sharing their Pain

It was not just the Radiant Moon Palace. All the fresh flowers on Leaning Moon Mountain that had ever been in contact with the Moon Empress' aura closed up and sagged.

It looked as though they were all crying.

Mystic Moon noticed this and immediately looked worried.

Cicada Song said grimly, "The beautiful are sharing their pain. The Moon Empress is too impatient! It's not that easy to take that last step! Your lifespan decreases by five years each time you attempt it. I might be able to try it many more times, but you can't try it a single time more."

Initially, Mystic Moon did not think much of Cicada Song's words. But when he heard the latter part of what Cicada Song said, his heart skipped a beat.

What did Cicada Song mean? What did he mean by the Moon Empress could not try it?
