Chapter 225: Zhuo Canglang: What did I do wrong? I just want to know why you're still alive! (5600 words)
Cultivating the Emperor's Scripture is not an easy task.
Even if Wang Xiu had paved the way for the Snow Ancestor, she still needed some time to truly enter the door.
Fortunately, Wang Xiu was not in a hurry and began cultivating in the valley.
While comprehending the Dao texts in the Heavenly Book.
While improving her cultivation.
During these days, Wang Xiu had received a lot of praise.
Especially when the Snow Ancestor was present, she ensured the quality and quantity, allowing her cultivation to rapidly improve.
One person could match three or four Saints.
Several days later.
Wang Xiu's aura surged, runes flowed all over her body, radiating brilliance, and misty radiance filled the air.
The twelve-colored Nascent Soul was like a precious treasure of heaven and earth.
Emitting a magnificent divine radiance.
Nascent Soul Seventh Layer!
She could be considered officially stepping into the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
All in all, from Wang Xiu's breakthrough to Nascent Soul until now, it had only been a little over a year.
This speed was simply astonishing, enough to make countless geniuses feel ashamed and die.
After stabilizing her cultivation for a few more days.
Finally, on this day, a majestic aura emanated from the house in the small courtyard, dense green light covered the sky, obscuring the wind and snow, and a vast life force surged like the tide on the river.
The Snow Ancestor appeared in mid-air, her body glowing, her green hair dancing.
Her figure was graceful and beautiful, with astonishing curves, emitting a precious radiance that made people breathless.
Her legs were slender as she stepped forward slowly.
Opening her arms, the spiritual energy in the sky rolled back, enveloping her in a layer of divine radiance.
"It feels so good. It's been a long time since I felt so fulfilled!" The Snow Ancestor spoke, her face full of enjoyment, her beautiful face glowing.
She came before Wang Xiu, confident and composed. "Tell me, what do you want? As long as I can do it, everything is possible!"
Originally, she had discussed with Zhuo Canglang that she would give all her essence to Wang Xiu.
To help him cultivate smoothly and accelerate his growth.
But now, she didn't have to die, and instead owed Wang Xiu a huge favor. Not only did she owe her life, but she also taught her the true Emperor's Scripture!
This debt was quite substantial.
Even with her status and identity, she couldn't think of a way to repay it for a while.
"Actually, there's no need to rush. We can talk about it later!" Wang Xiu was a little shy, looking at the lake beside her.
"You don't have to feel embarrassed. I owe you a huge debt, and I always repay my debts!" The Snow Ancestor stared at Wang Xiu, very serious, thinking that Wang Xiu was too embarrassed to make a request.
Wang Xiu still didn't speak, her eyes fixed on elsewhere.
"Why have you been staring elsewhere? What's there?" Xuezu raised an eyebrow and followed Wang Xiu's gaze, only to see a calm and still water surface with a few fallen petals.
"Senior, you forgot to put on clothes!" Wang Xiu helplessly spoke up.
As soon as these words were spoken, the air immediately quieted down.
Xuezu lowered her head and looked at her current appearance, wishing she could just dive into the water. No wonder it felt unusually cool today! She hadn't taken off her clothes in thousands of years, so how could she have the habit of wearing them?
Her cheeks instantly turned red, and a flush spread to her ears. Even her snow-white hair couldn't hide it.
"Don't make a big deal out of it, a grown man acting all shy!" she coldly snorted. Now her whole body felt weak and hot, but her mouth remained stubborn.
She stomped her foot.
Frost filled the sky, landing on her and transforming into a snow-white robe, covering her perfect figure.
"Now can I speak?" she asked.
"Can I ask for anything?" Wang Xiu cautiously asked.
"Of course!" Xuezu was confident. With her strength, the issue of her lifespan was resolved, and no matter how rare something was, as long as she was willing to ponder, it wouldn't be difficult.
*Ding!*
*Detected someone bragging nearby, congratulations to the host for gaining +6666 mana!*
"In that case, I want an Emperor Weapon!" Wang Xiu blinked his eyes and said straightforwardly.
Xuezu immediately fell silent, gritting her silver teeth. "Are you joking with me?"
What is an Emperor Weapon?
It is a Law Treasure left behind by a Great Emperor, containing unimaginable terrifying power, capable of slaying immortals and gods.
To some extent, it is even rarer than the Emperor's Scripture.
After all, the Emperor's Scripture can be passed down to multiple people, but there are only a few Emperor Weapons.
"Didn't you say I could ask for anything?" Wang Xiu pouted.
"Even the entire South State might not be able to find one, and even if there is, it must be the treasured possession of the major ancient powers. Where can I find an Emperor Weapon for you?" Xuezu was so angry that her chest hurt, her bosom rising and falling.
"In that case, I want a divine medicine!" Wang Xiu compromised.
Xuezu fell silent again, clenching her fists, her delicate body trembling.
"Could it be... Could it be that Senior doesn't even have that?" Wang Xiu looked very surprised, making Xuezu even more uncomfortable.
This bastard, what does he think a divine medicine is?
It is a precious medicine containing immortal power, with supreme efficacy, capable of transforming decay into miracles, seizing the changes of heaven and earth.
With the level of spiritual energy in the Ashen Essence World, it is extremely difficult to cultivate a divine medicine. Once it appears, it will be snatched up by the major ancient sects!
"No, let's change again!" Xuezu forcefully suppressed her anger and said.
"Change again..." Wang Xiu pondered.
What else does he urgently need now?
Cultivation techniques? He already has a full set.
Pills? There are still a bunch of Spirit Treasure pills in the spatial ring that haven't been digested, and the Holy Medicine Dragon Transformation grass hasn't been used yet!
Weapons? The Shura Heaven Annihilation Sword is already a Saint Weapon grade, and it also has the attribute of being able to grow.
It should be enough for him to use for a long time.
Oh, right!
"Then, I want a piece of Saint Weapon armor!" Wang Xiu figured it out.
His physical strength is very high now.
He can directly confront an Astral Projection Almighty.
At the same time, he also has armor to protect him during battles.
Generally speaking, he won't be injured, but if someone can break through his defense, it would definitely be a deadly threat.
Although that piece of ancient dragon scale can occasionally be used as a defensive treasure, when Wang Xiu just reached the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to withstand a furious strike from a Saint Manifestation expert.
As Wang Xiu comprehends more and more of the rune mysteries on the dragon scale, its effectiveness will also increase.
But this thing has a cooldown.
After each use, it takes some time to recover, and it's unstable.
If there is a Saint Weapon level defensive Law Treasure, it would be perfect.
Hearing Wang Xiu's words, the Snow Ancestor hesitated.
"Junior, aren't you a dignified Earth Immortal? How can you not even have a Saint Weapon?" Wang Xiu couldn't help but ask.
"How is that possible?" The Snow Ancestor's face turned slightly red. "I'm just considering which one to give you!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging nearby, congratulations to the host for gaining +6666 mana!]
To be honest, she doesn't have many things on her.
Because she knows that her lifespan is nearing its end.
Many of the treasures she had accumulated in the past were directly handed over to Zhuo Canglang and confiscated.
And in these years, Zhuo Canglang has come to the Hidden Vein many times to ask for things.
He's almost begging for things every day.
A lot has been taken away.
If it were something else, the Snow Ancestor might really need to leave the Three Purities Immortal Gate and get one or two from the outside world.
But as luck would have it, she happens to have one piece of defensive Saint Weapon left.
The Snow Ancestor spread out her palm, a radiance flashed, and a piece of inner armor appeared. It was as thin as a cicada's wings, as icy as jade, and covered with densely engraved runes, resembling the vastness of stars.
The soft armor emitted a translucent white jade light, with a misty radiance.
Incredibly divine.
"Take it!" Xue Zu handed the soft armor to Wang Xiu.
"Wearing it... isn't that inappropriate?" Wang Xiu hesitated, not accepting it. The soft armor was within reach, and a strong fragrance filled the air, making people daydream.
"This Ice Phoenix Luo Xian Armor was forged from the embryo of the extremely cold Xianjin from the Northern Territory, supplemented by the essence and soul of a pure-blooded Ice Phoenix. It took a full three hundred years to refine and was once a High Grade Saint Weapon. After years of battle and a thousand years of nurturing, it finally reached the level of a Supreme Grade Saint Weapon! Although it was something I wore when I was young, it is enough for you now!" Xue Zu said with a slight annoyance, her face slightly red. This kid was taking advantage of her and acting all clever, as if he had suffered a loss!
It was infuriating to look at.
If she had to blame someone, she could only blame herself for boasting early on, and as a result, Wang Xiu asked her something she didn't have, and then another thing she still didn't have.
Would it be even more embarrassing if he asked another question and she still didn't have it?
Would she lose face?
If she told him that a defensive-type Saint Weapon required her to go out and find it, would she be accused of being stingy?
No, she couldn't afford to lose face!
Although she had already lost face several times in front of this kid, she couldn't compromise her bottom line!
She could only give Wang Xiu the precious armor she had worn close to her body!
"In that case, thank you, senior!" Wang Xiu accepted the Ice Phoenix Luo Xian Armor.
It felt as light as nothing in his hands, and a faint blue divine light could be seen surging on the surface, with runes appearing and turning into two dancing Ice Phoenixes, magnificent and extraordinary.
Then, Xue Zu thought for a moment and took out a hairpin, handing it over.
"This hairpin contains three strands of Dao Rhyme condensed by this seat. If activated with mana, it is equivalent to this seat personally taking action, with infinite power! If you encounter a strong enemy, it can be invincible below the Earth Immortal level, and even against an ordinary Earth Immortal, it can ensure your survival!"
Although the Ice Phoenix Luo Xian Armor was precious, upon careful consideration, it paled in comparison to the benefits Wang Xiu had brought her.
Not only did he have the inheritance of the Emperor's Scripture, but he also directly helped her to comprehend the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sutra.
He saved her life.
A mere Saint Weapon was not enough to repay him.
She also had her pride and didn't want to owe Wang Xiu too much.
Even if she couldn't repay it all at once, she had to pay a larger down payment to avoid rumors of her bullying others.
Wang Xiu's eyes lit up. Although this hairpin could only be used three times, if used properly, it could have a world-shaking effect. It was a powerful weapon!
This exchange was not a loss!
"Senior not only looks like a Celestial Immortal, but also has astonishing cultivation and thoughtful considerations. It truly impresses me!" Wang Xiu praised with a smile, his voice gentle and distant, warming people from the bottom of their hearts.
Xue Zu narrowed her eyes. This kid, when he spoke nicely, he actually looked quite pleasing to the eye!
Well, after all, he was still a child. She wouldn't hold his previous rudeness against him!
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may leave!" Xue Zu waved her hand to dismiss him, then turned and stepped into the ice coffin, focusing on comprehending the deeper mysteries of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sutra.
The ice coffin was obviously made of extraordinary material, just like Luo Binglan's coffin, and had indescribable effects.
"I'll take my leave, senior!" Wang Xiu bowed to the ice coffin, saluted, and left.
Outside the valley.
Zhuo Canglang paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.
Taking a bath?
Why would the Grand Master want to take a bath?
Earth Immortals, powerful beings, have pure bodies, free from impurities. Even after death, they can maintain their radiant appearance, their immortal bodies untouched by dust.
There's no need for a bath at all!
Could it be some kind of ritual?
That's right!
Zhuo Canglang seemed to have thought of something crucial. Women, they value rituals.
In a person's life, there is nothing greater than life and death.
In such matters, it is only appropriate to be serious. Bathing and burning incense a few days in advance, paying respects to the ancestors and worshiping the gods, it sounds reasonable.
It shouldn't be the random thoughts he had!
After all, although the Grand Master has lived a pure and chaste life and has not experienced worldly love, this Wang Xiu boy is quite popular with girls.
But the Grand Master still has her dignity...
An older man dating a younger woman is acceptable!
But an old bull eating tender shoots is a bit too much!
This boy is not even close to her age.
It should be impossible!
But... you never know, what if before her passing, she wanted to experience something she hadn't before?
Thinking of this, Zhuo Canglang's mind became chaotic again.
Just then, the seal at the mouth of the valley dissipated.
Wang Xiu strolled out.
Zhuo Canglang looked at Wang Xiu and stared for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief. "His aura is pure, without any traces of yin and yang blending. I really did overthink it!"
Thank goodness nothing happened.
Otherwise...
How should he address Wang Xiu in the future?
The hierarchy would be all messed up.
"Senior, what are you talking about?" Wang Xiu was puzzled, seeing Zhuo Canglang acting strange as soon as he came out.
"It's nothing! Are you done?" Zhuo Canglang got straight to the point.
"We're done!" Wang Xiu nodded.
"What about the Grand Master?"
"She has already rested!" Wang Xiu replied.
"Rested?" Zhuo Canglang was taken aback, then suddenly realized, a touch of sadness appeared on his face, and he seemed much older.
He patted Wang Xiu's shoulder. "Wait for me here!"
He walked towards the valley and waved his sleeve.
Snowflakes filled the sky, covering the entire valley.
Wang Xiu took a closer look.
Those weren't snowflakes at all! They were clearly paper money falling like a deluge!
"Senior!" he hurriedly called out, knowing that Zhuo Canglang had misunderstood something.
But it was too late.
Zhuo Canglang entered the valley, his movements extremely skilled. He changed into a white mourning attire and somehow produced a pair of bronze gongs, banging and clanging as he went inside.
"Wow—Grand Master, why did you leave like this!"
"Grand Master, you're so heartless, leaving us, the disciples of the Three Purities Immortal Gate, these poor children, to live alone in this world!"
"Wuwuwu—what are we supposed to do!"
"You left without leaving us any thoughts..."
"Unfilial disciple, I couldn't see you for the last time! Why did you bury her directly..."
"I really wanted to see you one more time, Grand Master!"
Zhuo Canglang sat on the ground, wailing and crying at the ice coffin. Tears and snot flowed incessantly, his crying voice shook the heavens and the earth, causing sorrow in those who heard it and tears in those who listened.
Bang!
Just then, the lid of the ice coffin opened.
The Snow Ancestor slowly sat up.
Expressionless, she stared at Zhuo Canglang.
Zhuo Canglang: "!!!"
He instantly lost his voice, his throat rolled.
He jumped up, his eyes wide open like copper bells, every hair on his body trembling, and the two crows on his shoulders instantly fluffed up.
"Oh my god, she's faking her death! Oh my god, she's faking her death!" the black crow screeched, flapping its wings and fluffing up its feathers.
Faking death is not scary.
What's scary is when an Earth Immortal-level powerhouse fakes death.
This is ominous!
Very ominous!
"Who are you calling a fake corpse?" The Snow Ancestor's voice was cold, no one had ever dared to provoke her like this.
Wang Xiu doesn't count, after all, he is the Qilin Child of the Three Purities, with extraordinary talent and is the hope of the future. Moreover, he looks good and has a bit of a mischievous personality.
Endure it!
Zhuo Canglang actually came to jump around?
Does he really think he has no temper?
"Who the hell is disappointed? I just want to know why the person who should have died didn't die!" The black crow spread its wings and screeched.
The Snow Ancestor's expression turned colder, and a strong killing intent surged beneath her proud figure.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's a misunderstanding, Grandmaster, it's really a misunderstanding!" Zhuo Canglang's eyelids twitched uncontrollably as he covered the black crow's mouth and slipped towards the direction of the valley.
Something is not right, hurry and leave!
Boom!
The wind and snow poured down from the sky, turning into a giant frosty hand, grabbing towards Zhuo Canglang.
Zhuo Canglang turned around to defend himself, his body glowing with runes, constantly explaining, "It's really a misunderstanding, Grandmaster, believe me, believe me!"
The wind and snow turned into a sea, and a huge frosty dragon leaped out of the snowy ocean.
The Snow Ancestor stepped on the ice dragon, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "You dare to fight back?"
"How could I? Grandmaster taught me a lesson, how could I dare to fight back?" Zhuo Canglang quickly retracted his magical power.
In the next moment, he was directly caught by the frosty giant hand.
Thrown into the air.
Countless ice spikes manifested from the void, densely piercing towards Zhuo Canglang like raindrops.
"Grandmaster, there's no need to be so harsh, right?"
"If you dare to resist, you're finished!"
"...Gaga, help, the old woman is killing me!" The black crow wailed, and the wind and snow became even more terrifying.
...
The valley entrance was blocked by wind and snow.
Line of sight was cut off.
Wang Xiu couldn't see what was happening inside, but from Zhuo Canglang's continuous screams, he could roughly guess what he was going through.
"Impulsiveness is the devil..." Wang Xiu grinned, he had already tried to stop it, but he couldn't hold him back.
The screams from inside continued.
Wang Xiu didn't linger, he retraced his steps and left the Nine Nether Purgatory, returning to Spirit Turtle Peak.
"Master, are you awake?" He came to Luo Binglan's grave and paid his respects.
"I am in seclusion. If it's not something urgent, we'll talk about it later!" Luo Binglan's voice sounded ethereal.
"It's about the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sutra!" Wang Xiu said.
Boom!
The earth trembled, and the entire Spirit Turtle Peak shook. Luo Binglan's tomb exploded.
The white jade coffin flew out of it.
Floating in front of Wang Xiu.
"What did you say? Say it again?" Luo Binglan was very excited, even the white jade coffin was trembling.
"The Azure Emperor's Longevity Sutra. I accidentally obtained a partial inheritance of it in the Void Ancient Road. I wasn't sure before, so I didn't inform Master! After these days of enlightenment, I immediately came to report to you..." Wang Xiu said.
After speaking, he activated the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sutra, and his body emitted a bright blue light. His life force surged, confirming his words.
"It really is the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sutra..." Luo Binglan murmured, extremely delighted. "Good disciple, I didn't misjudge you. You are indeed the lucky star of my Divination Lineage!"
She was very excited. Bringing Wang Xiu back then was definitely the best decision she had ever made in her life.
Not only was he exceptionally talented, reviving the reputation of the Divination Lineage, but he also brought about the rise of the entire Three Purities.
Now, they had even retrieved the lost Emperor's Scripture!
Even if it was only a fragment, it was enough to cause a sensation in the world.
Of course, the most important point was that with the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sutra, she could leave the white jade coffin and return to the mortal world in a perfect manner.
Wang Xiu imparted the secret scriptures of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sutra to Luo Binglan.
Then, he mentioned something that could help Luo Binglan quickly grasp the essentials.
Luo Binglan didn't hesitate at all and agreed immediately.
She had been sealed in this coffin for too long.
Her personality was like that of a demon king, and her desire for freedom couldn't tolerate any delay.
What kind of master would feel ashamed to have their disciple teach them techniques and help them get started?
What's the value of face?
Who would dare to gossip behind her back? Just ignore them!
"Master, the lid of this coffin needs to be lifted!" Wang Xiu took out various Spirit Medicines and prepared to configure them as he spoke.
Ka cha cha!
The sound of intense movement came, and the coffin lid shifted horizontally. Countless runes covered the sky, radiating dazzling light that engulfed the entire void.
Finally, the light slowly dissipated.
Revealing an impeccable and stunning face, with delicate features, a high-bridged nose, and plump red lips.
The figure under the long green dress was even more curvaceous and magnificent, fair as snow.
Only her eyes carried a strong sense of world-weariness.
Anyone who looked at her would feel that she was mocking them.
They couldn't help but want to fight her.
A clear and cold voice slowly sounded.
"The curse on my body hasn't been lifted, so just do it like this!"
"That works too!"
Wang Xiu poured the prepared medicine into the white jade coffin!
Then, a pair of hands reached in.
