Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Snow descended slowly and quietly.
There was no wind.
A series of snowy mountain peaks ford a range.
A couple were snuggling each other near the window, looking outside at the snowy landscape.
There was a warm atmosphere in the room.
The wife was neat and graceful, so white color was already beginning to show in her hair. She leaned on her husband’s arm and spoke with nostalgia: “It has been so long since I watched the snowy landscape with you this serenely...”
Her husband already looked old but was in good health, he comfortingly patted his wife’s arm with his aged hand, and spoke slowly: “I would like to stay with you always and watch the snowflakes fall quietly. Do you still rember the ti we first t?”
His wife chuckled, the joyous mory seed to be resurfacing in front of her eyes: “That was also a snowy day, you were still hotheaded, wanting to beco stronger and stronger.”
“I wanted to beco stronger, wasn’t it for the sake of becoming worthy of you? Back then, you said you would marry when I cultivate to rank eight. Hehe.” The old man laughed, his laughter had so craftiness as well as so pride.
His wife’s smile, however, shrank slightly, and her brows furrowed: “To tell the truth, I regret it a little. I would rather your cultivation be slightly lower.”
“To be your husband, how could I have lower cultivation level? Rest assured, as long as we refine fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu, I have confidence in passing this myriad tribulation, then our future will be boundless as the sea and sky, and I can stay with you forever.” As he said this, the old man’s sight slowly beca sharper, revealing an extraordinarily powerful aura.
His aura went from weak to strong, continuously growing stronger. As ti passed, it actually flowed outside, causing the surrounding snowflakes to stop falling, and float in front of him.
His wife slowly moved away from him, quietly looking at the snowy landscape as a firm will erged in her eyes.
“Let us begin.” After a long while, the old man spoke, breaking the silence.
His wife only replied with one word: “Okay.”
Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Lady Wan Shou began refining fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu!
On this day, gorgeous lights shot out to the sky from Snowy Mountain blessed land, unable to be hidden or concealed!
Northern Plains’ Gu Immortal world had yet to recover from the commotion of Hei tribe’s annihilation, but now, it fell into upheaval once again.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu had begun refining rank eight fortune rivalling heaven Gu!
This news was like a whirlwind that engulfed the whole Northern Plains Gu Immortal world.
Feng Xian grotto-heaven.
“Such a grand show, as if he is afraid others won’t co to wreck his plan. But this is indeed Old Xue Hu’s style.” Prince Feng Xian chuckled indifferently at the news.
“Lord, if we let Old Ancestor Xue Hu successfully refine the rank eight Immortal Gu, I am afraid he would just get much stronger.” Gu Immortal You Lan spoke from beside Prince Feng Xian.
“Even without fortune rivalling heaven Gu, he is still the number one expert of Northern Plains. Our current task is to capture Fang Yuan. We have already obtained news from that side, Heavenly Court has deduced and confird Fang Yuan is in Northern Plains!” Prince Feng Xian laughed, his eyes shining with cold light.
His hatred towards Fang Yuan was deep.
The reason?
Because Prince Feng Xian’s original task had been to infiltrate Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. But the grand plan was destroyed by Fang Yuan, causing his many years of waiting to go down the drain.
Could he not feel hatred?
Bai Zu grotto-heaven.
“Old Ancestor Xue Hu has been fiddling around for these years, he finally decided to act?” Heavenly Lord Bai Zu mumbled, then shook his head.
After that battle with Old Ancestor Xue Hu, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was even more aware of the other side’s strength.
“Just I alone am absolutely not Old Ancestor Xue Hu’s opponent. Also, wrecking his refinent plan would an I will be an irreconcilable enemy of him. But I have now established Bai Zu tribe, this is the result of many years of planning and arduous work, I cannot make a move lightly.”
“Unless Yao Huang and so other people want to make a move... before they show any signs, I should concentrate on invading that Hei Fan grotto-heaven instead.”
Yao Huang grotto-heaven.
A large cauldron was floating in front of Yao Huang.
It was made from cauldron strength Immortal Gu.
Inside the cauldron were countless immortal materials, the blazing fire below it was constantly lting these immortal materials into liquid and fusing them.
When he heard the news of Old Ancestor Xue Hu’s Gu refinent, the fire heating the cauldron trembled.
Yao Huang sighed and mumbled to himself: “Fighting with Old Xue Hu is not wise. Instead, I just need to concentrate on refining this resurrection from the dead Immortal Gu, and I will also possess a rank eight Immortal Gu, and solve the issue of lifespan.”
Longevity Heaven.
“Look at those lights soaring to the sky, hmph! Old Ancestor Xue Hu has really started refining fortune rivalling heaven Gu!”
“Even if he is a rank eight Gu Immortal, he is too audacious, to dare to covet Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s Immortal Gu!!”
Longevity Heaven was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s grotto-heaven, the Gu Immortals who lived inside were descendants of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable with the closest bloodline connection to him.
They naturally did not want to see fortune rivalling heaven Gu falling into an outsider’s hands.
However!
They were unable to make a move.
Because of one person — Five Elents Grandmaster!
...
“Elder Fang Yuan, please co in, this is our tribe’s sacred land — Earth Mother Altar!” Shi Shi Cheng respectfully guided Fang Yuan.
This rockman Gu Immortal was only rank six, but he controlled the immortal battlefield killer move, grey cloud battle puppet, he was clearly a character representing the next generation of the rockn.
Following with him was also the rank six female Gu Immortal from the snowman tribe, Xue Er.
Right now, so days had already passed since the banquet.
The allied tribes of snown and rockn living here treated Fang Yuan and the hairy man Gu Immortals with utmost cordiality.
According to Lang Ya land spirit’s arrangent, Sixth Hair and the others were responsible for negotiating about cooperation and alliance between both sides. As for Fang Yuan, he was accompanied to tour around and view the scenery, becoming familiar with the lifestyle of these variant humans.
Over these last few days, Fang Yuan had deep insight.
These snown and rockn were living in hiding below the northern icy plain, but they were filled with awareness of crisis and were extrely strict in the upbringing of their later generations, almost to the point of cruelty.
This led to generations after generations of powerful variant human Gu Immortals.
Compared to them, Hei Fan grotto-heaven’s Gu Immortals ford an extrely clear contrast.
“Elder Fang Yuan, didn’t you ask yesterday why there is such earth and soil below the northern icy plain? You will know once you enter.” Xue Er giggled.
“Okay.” Fang Yuan nodded, being sowhat curious.
When he entered Earth Mother Altar and saw two statues enshrined at the center, he was left staring.
“This is...”
He was shocked.
Because he saw a female human immortal hugging a rockman Gu Immortal’s arm. The two were looking into the distance with blissful expressions, looking like they had lived a chard life together.
“This is the twenty-seventh first supre elder of my tribe, Shi Mu, the one beside him is his wife, my tribe’s most respected Lady Earth Mother. Of course, as you can see, Lady Earth Mother is a human Gu Immortal.” Shi Shi Cheng introduced.
This was sowhat unthinkable.
A female human immortal actually fell in love with a rockman Gu Immortal, and was enshrined and respected by the later generations of rockn to this degree.
Xue Er continued: “Lady Earth Mother was kind and benevolent, her love transcends race. She was deeply saddened that the rockman tribe did not have land for survival, and not long after Lord Shi Mu passed away, she also died of her own accord to be with her love. For the sake of the later generations, her dao marks and blessed land turned into this underground land, allowing rockn to have a foundation for survival.”
Fang Yuan firmly stared at this couple’s statues.
His mind was surging frantically.
Because this Earth Mother, whom the rockn and snown respected and revered, he actually knew her!
Naturally, he and Earth Mother were not people of the sa ti period, there would normally not have been any link between them. The reason why Fang Yuan could recognize Earth Mother’s identity was because he had soul searched Hei Cheng.
Because Earth Mother was the missing Hei Feng Yue of Hei tribe, Old Ancestor Hei Fan’s most beloved granddaughter!
“Who could have expected that Hei Feng Yue disappeared as a result of hiding her own identity. She fell in love with a rockman Gu Immortal, this definitely would not have been accepted by the tribe, and even more so, would not have been accepted by the human Gu Immortals in Northern Plains.”
“As for why she fell in love and stayed with a rockman Gu Immortal, there definitely must have been a hidden story.”
Fang Yuan was expressionless, but was inwardly sighing.
No matter what the truth of the past was, he had no intention to excavate it.
Every person had their own life to lead, their own loved and hated enemies. Right?
Xue Er had been secretly observing Fang Yuan, and seeing Fang Yuan having no expression of disgust or anger, her whole heart felt joyous.
She then looked at the statues of Shi Mu and Earth Mother dazedly, speaking with certain intent: “I won’t hide it from Elder Fang Yuan, from my perspective, love has no boundaries! Whether it be rockn or humans, both have the possibility of existing together and the right to love each other!”
Fang Yuan went absent-minded.
A beautiful white figure flashed across his eyes.
But it disappeared shortly afterwards.
“The five hundred years of my first life...” His gaze turned deep and serene.
He slightly realized now.
Why this group of snown and rockn accepted him so easily after knowing Fang Yuan was on the sa side.
From a certain aspect, Fang Yuan could also be considered to have received Earth Mother’s help.
“Actually, we were compelled by the situation to fight with Elder Fang Yuan. Elder Fang Yuan must also be clear on how the northern icy plain was ford. This was previously a pure icy land, only with Lady Earth Mother’s profound thods, did this area start gathering earth qi and form this soil.”
Shi Shi Cheng earnestly continued: “However, when a Gu Immortal faces their tribulation in the northern icy plain, it would draw in and consu heaven and earth qi. Every ti the earth qi is weakened, the northern icy plain will get more unstable, and the land we can live on will decrease by a portion in area.”
Fang Yuan nodded, he already knew of this reason during the banquet, now his understanding had beco even deeper.
“This is my fault. If I had known this before, I would not have undergone my calamity in the northern icy plain!” Fang Yuan earnestly spoke.
Shi Shi Cheng and Xue Er’s face brightened.
“If misunderstandings can be solved, that is for the best.” Shi Shi Cheng spoke.
Right at this ti, Shi Shi Cheng’s expression changed, shortly afterwards Xue Er’s expression also changed.
“What’s wrong?” Fang Yuan quickly asked.
“Lights are soaring to the sky from Snowy Mountain blessed land, our information claims that Old Ancestor Xue Hu has begun refining fortune rivalling heaven Gu.” Shi Shi Cheng spoke in a heavy tone.
Any human growing stronger was grievous news to variant humans.
Xue Er’s eyes shifted to Fang Yuan: “Elder Fang Yuan, you used Spring Autumn Cicada to rebirth and are an otherworldly demon, you even destroyed Eighty-Eight True Yang Building by your own hands. I would like to ask if Old Ancestor Xue Hu succeeds in refining fortune rivalling heaven Gu in the future?”
