"Dongfang Mu?"
Gu Yuqing pondered for a few seconds, quite surprised. It seems I rember now; didn’t this person die?
"He didn’t die. Think carefully," the strange voice said, hesitating for a mont before imdiately denying it. "This person won’t die so easily. After all, I haven’t died yet."
Gu Yuqing thought for a mont. As the eldest senior sister of the Fengyue Sect, she was well-experienced and naturally knew of this Ancient Sage. Only... Wait...
"A while ago, I heard rumors in the Sword Sect that the Ancient Sage Dongfang Mu had appeared, but I don’t know if it’s true or false."
Gu Yuqing shook her head. "I’m not very clear. Why do you want to kill him?"
"Enough with the nonsense. Just kill him if I tell you to," the strange voice said. "The only way for you to leave this place now is by cultivating my Cultivation Technique and severing feelings before you can go out."
"Otherwise, you will never be able to leave."
To use a chance to escape in exchange for killing soone... For the earlier Gu Yuqing, this wouldn’t have been much of an issue.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuqing murmured, "I can try... but I’m not sure I can find him."
"You don’t need to. He will co himself," the strange voice said.
Gu Yuqing was confused. "Why?"
"Because there’s soone here he cares deeply about," the strange voice said. "He will definitely co to this place."
"The Ancient Mysterious Ice Secret Realm? How would he co here?" Gu Yuqing asked in surprise.
Wait... could it be ... Gu Yuqing’s heart POUNDED.
"Hmph, this secret realm is one of the Twelve Cave Heavens, connected to an Ancient Immortal Mansion, specifically for suppressing—forget it. You just need to know that after you break out from this Mysterious Ice Cold Pillar, just keep going straight ahead. When you reach a place called the Wu You Ice Prison, wait there. Sooner or later, he will co. When he does, just kill him."
"..."
「」
He entered through the brilliantly glowing Great Taoist Path.
A corner of the mysterious Immortal Mansion ca into Wang Mu’s view, looking like a world in a mirror or a phantom in water.
Wang Mu beca extrely alert. I always feel that this journey is fraught with great danger...
As the scenery around him changed, a massive amount of Spiritual Power surged from within.
The next second, the surrounding scene transford, revealing an ice-blue world before his eyes.
Indeed worthy of an Immortal Mansion.
Wang Mu took a deep breath, squinting as he surveyed this world.
After entering the starlight path, he seed to have landed on a high platform halfway up a mountainside. He could see a world covered in frost in the distance.
In the world ahead, different colored glows emanated from various locations. Glowing colors an Exotic Treasures are appearing.
Forests, plains, lakes, high mountains, and marshes—all sorts of terrain—appeared here.
It’s completely like a small world! Wang Mu marveled.
Inside the Immortal Mansion, Spiritual Energy was rich. The terrain was like Pangu incarnate, lacking nothing; only the environnt was a bit icy.
Not to ntion, even just cultivating here would be much faster than in the outside world. I’m just not sure if there’s a ti limit.
Wait... what is this...
Wang Mu suddenly looked at his arm and discovered twelve spots of light imprinted on it. These spots outlined ancient characters.
These look like characters representing the Hours? Wang Mu’s heart stirred. Did this appear only after I walked the starlight path? This represents the Hours... Could it refer to the ti I can stay in this Immortal Mansion? Once the ti is up, will I automatically leave this place?
This Immortal Mansion has its own set of rules. Could it really be the Grotto Heaven of an Ancient Immortal?
Wang Mu pondered for a few seconds, then walked down the mountainside.
He originally wanted to use Sword Flight, but found that as soon as he activated his Spiritual Power, it would deplete at a rate ten tis faster than in the outside world. This ant the rate of Spiritual Power consumption here was much faster than outside. Truly curious.
Walking down the mountainside, Wang Mu soon ca across an Ancient Stele.
The stele read:
"In the first age, I was born at the dawn of existence. I attained wisdom and understanding, learned writing to teach the early people, gathered flint fire born from Xuanbing—the Fire Seed unceasing, the Human Clan unextinguished—thus I was nad Mystic Fla Form. Alas, there was an Ancient Ferocious Ice Fang beast. We fought tirelessly and eventually perished together within Qiang Mountain..."
The Ancient Stele had only a few lines of ancient characters. These characters had a Divine Thought hidden within them; even if one couldn’t understand the style of the script, a sweep of Divine Thought could decipher their aning.
Who is written about here? Could it be the owner of this Immortal Mansion?
Wang Mu looked towards the mountain behind him.
Qiang Mountain... that must be the na of this icy mountain.
Mystic Fla Form... could that be this person’s na?
Wang Mu looked at the smaller ice mountain behind him.
The content on the stele was simple. It stated that in a very ancient era, this person found a special type of Fire Seed within Xuanbing, was later called Mystic Fla Form, and taught the early people.
Judging by the era ntioned, it must be from the ti when heaven and earth first opened. A ti when all things were just being born, and humans were just erging?
Later, this person was killed by an Ice Fang Fierce Beast—or more precisely, they perished together within this Qiang Mountain.
How strong could a Fierce Beast from that era be? Wang Mu wondered.
Exactly. That era probably didn’t even have cultivation, right? Plainly speaking, whatever Fierce Beast it was, it was just a wild animal that killed him.
However, the most striking part was the last line of small characters: "The soul of the Ice Fang is indestructible... May future generations take heed... One can obtain Ice Fire... eternally strong and unyielding..."
Indestructible soul... speaking of which, is this Ice Fang Fierce Beast still present? ’For future generations to heed’... plainly speaking, that ans it wants to eliminate it, right?
