Capítulo 1896: Chapter 1895: Crystal Coffin, Ice-Sealed Creature
“Yes,” everyone quickly replied.
“Co with ,” the Queen of the West looked at Xu Zii and finally said.
“What I promised you before, it’s ti to fulfill it now.
This ti, in the battle of the Five Elents Mountain, you perford the most brilliantly.”
“I was just fulfilling a commission,” Xu Zii waved his hand.
“Can I et Goddess Xuanming?”
“You’ll know when you go,” the Queen of the West replied.
“I’m particularly curious about one thing,” Xu Zii asked.
“How old exactly is Goddess Xuanming?
So say Goddess Xuanming is the Ancient God Xuanming, from a long distant era until now.”
“Does it matter?” the Queen of the West asked.
“It does and it doesn’t,” Xu Zii said.
“I just have so things I want to verify.”
“To be honest, I don’t know either,” the Queen of the West shook her head.
“When I was a Saintess, Goddess Xuanming was already at Yao Pond.
Goddess Xuanming is the last foundation of our Yao Pond.
To be honest, when I first beca the Queen of the West, I paid my respects to the Goddess at the entrance of the Mysterious Ground.
Later on, she didn’t summon , so I didn’t dare to go at will.”
“I’m more curious about the Mysterious Ground than you are.”
Xu Zii was taken aback.
If the Queen of the West said so, doesn’t that an even she hasn’t been inside the Mysterious Ground?
She only ever paid her respects at the entrance.
Is Goddess Xuanming really that mysterious?
“Is it Goddess Xuanming who wants to see now?” Xu Zii asked.
The Queen of the West nodded.
She explained, “I have no authority over this matter, and neither did any previous Queens of the West have control over the Goddess Xuanming.”
The two continued talking as their figures gradually approached a deserted place.
This was the interior of the Immortal Island.
Beyond the grand hall where the Queen of the West resided was the Forbidden Land located here.
Though deserted, the surrounding vegetation flourished remarkably well.
There was a faint chill in the air.
In principle, soone like Xu Zii would not fear the cold anymore.
Yet standing here, there was still an internal chill.
It felt as if one could turn into an ice block at any mont from staying too long.
The Queen of the West stood in the void, slightly bowing with a respectful deanor, and said, “Goddess Xuanming, I have brought the person.”
“Good,” a cold, solitary voice ca from the void.
The Queen of the West told Xu Zii, “I’ll be leaving now.”
She slowly withdrew.
Leaving Xu Zii alone here.
“Who are you?” the voice from the void sounded again.
“Didn’t the Queen of the West tell you?” Xu Zii countered.
“I’m not asking about your current identity,” the voice from the void continued.
“You carry an aura familiar to .
And not just one aura.
What do you intend to do by collecting these legacies?”
“To save so people,” Xu Zii smiled.
“You’re seeking to disrupt the rules of the world, to go to that Exile Lands,” the voice from the void imdiately realized.
“Things that are exiled have all offended the heavenly might, things that should not exist.”
“Can you elaborate a bit?”
“Demonic Skills,” Xu Zii uttered a single word.
But it was concise and to the point.
He believed that if the other had truly lived for countless eons, their insight would be anything but simple.
“Demonic Skills, such a familiar word,” the voice from the void seed to be recalling.
“I rember, that chaotic era, that person seems to have sought out.”
The words ca to an abrupt halt.
Then followed a long silence.
Xu Zii did not interrupt, he just waited like that.
Finally, after an unknown amount of ti, the void suddenly rippled.
A gateway appeared in the void.
“Co in,” the voice continued.
Xu Zii did not hesitate and directly stepped into the air, walking towards the gateway.
……
Ice,
Pure white,
This was a world of pure white ice.
Xu Zii didn’t know how vast the Mysterious Ground was, but the entire world was shrouded in ice.
Among the ancient gods, Xuan Ming has always been a subject of debate.
So say she is the Rain Ancient God, others say she is the Ice Ancient God.
Actually, the two are inherently one.
Rain transforms into water, which freezes into ice.
Between ice and water, they are essentially one.
Now it seems, the Ancient God Xuanming favors ice a bit more.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have transford the world she resides in into one of ice.
Here, it could be said that ice stretches for hundreds of miles, and snow drifts for tens of thousands of miles.
Ice is the main the of this world.
Apart from the ice, the entire world appeared empty, with nothing at all.
“Walk five hundred ters forward, then turn left, and you’ll see ,” ca the voice of Goddess Xuanming.
The further Xu Zii walked, the stronger the chill beca, seeping into his bones.
Finally, he reached the source of the voice.
At the corner, Xu Zii noticed that the ice blocks around him began to change.
The ice blocks were crystal clear, but inside them were many frozen corpses.
These corpses were of all kinds of races.
There were giants a thousand ters tall, True Dragons with long dragon horns, and Immortals exuding an overwhelming aura of Immortal Qi.
Walking through, almost half of the ice blocks contained corpses.
These corpses were obviously extraordinary.
Although they were dead, one could feel that in life, they must have been powerful beings.
It’s just unknown why they are now frozen to death.
Xu Zii reached the end, where there was a giant ice block with an embedded crystal coffin.
Both the crystal coffin and the ice block were transparent.
Inside, a woman in a frozen gown lay asleep.
Xu Zii found it difficult to describe this ice beauty in words.
She didn’t resemble an immortal maiden, nor a mortal woman.
She seed more like an Ice Queen, suprely noble.
The world’s ice seed to be her accessory, the frozen gown cautiously protecting her.
She lay with her eyes closed, immaculate, inside the crystal coffin.
“Goddess Xuanming?” Xu Zii tentatively asked.
“Those who have seen my true form usually lose their senses, yet you are unaffected,” Goddess Xuanming remarked in surprise.
At this mont, Xu Zii’s gaze was clear; apart from mild astonishnt, there were no other expressions.
Though Goddess Xuanming’s eyes remained closed and her mouth unopened, her voice resonated throughout the void.
“You really are beautiful,” Xu Zii nodded.
“But beauty ans little to .”
“Are you that Demon King from back then?” Goddess Xuanming wasn’t quite sure.
Because so much ti had passed, no one could say for certain.
Xu Zii nodded, then shook his head.
He said, “We are one, yet also two distinct entities.
It can be said any way you like.”
“Are you seeking my legacy?” Goddess Xuanming asked again.
Xu Zii nodded.
“Are you an ancient god?”
“I don’t know,” Goddess Xuanming shook her head.
“Honestly, I’m more confused than you.
Here in the Mysterious Ground, every thousand years I fall into a deep sleep.
When I wake from slumber, all past mories are gone.
Perhaps even I don’t fully understand myself.”
Hearing this, Xu Zii couldn’t help but smile.
“Have you never thought about reclaiming your mories?”
