As the Universe Turns - Chapter 369
Chapter 369 Snowy Mountain
That night, Xiao Chen sat quietly on the edge of the cliff for a night. The cold wind blowing from the foot of the mountain was somewhat bone-piercing. Luo Die also did not sleep for a night, helping him patch together the unfinished map all night long.
Until dawn, there was only the afterimage of a crescent moon left in the sky, and the wind was much colder. Just as everything was quiet, Luo Die suddenly cried out excitedly, “Well … you, quickly come over and see!”
Hearing the commotion behind him, Xiao Chen stood up and walked over without hesitation. He saw Luo Die pointing at the map and said excitedly, “This is it! This is the mountain of poor mulberries!”
Xiao Chen carefully looked at the map. On top of the Golden Crow Kingdom, there was a mountain that she had already marked as the Mountain of the Poor Mulberry. However, beneath the Mountain of the Poor Mulberry, there was a large blurry map that showed that the map had not been properly pieced together.
“What’s going on here?”
Xiao Chen pointed at the blurry map and asked with a frown.
“This …”
Luo Die bit her lips and raised her head to look at him. She whispered, “I, I haven’t been able to put all of them together yet, but …” At this point, she became much more energetic. She said confidently, “I’m sure that Mount Qiongsang must be in this direction. As for the exact location … we can go this way first!”
Xiao Chen still looked at her suspiciously. This map was not an ordinary map. It was extremely delicate and profound. The result was that it was almost a thousand miles away. Therefore, there must not be any errors.
“I, I …”
Seeing him looking at him like this, Luo Die slowly lowered her head and whispered, “Sorry, I can only do this now, but …”
At this point, she raised her head and swore, “Don’t worry, no matter what, I will definitely find Yang Valley for you. Give me some more time. When we reach the Heaven Realm, I will definitely be able to find the exact location of Mount Qiongsang by combining the map with the terrain!”
“Let’s go. It’s already dawn. The Evil Fiend King’s people might catch up.”
“Oh …”
Luo Die lowered his head and slowly put away the map fragments on the ground. Xiao Chen looked at the endless mountain valley in front of him and asked, “Do you know that Wuji Shangren?”
“Ah?”
Luo Die was carefully keeping the map when he suddenly mentioned Wuji Shangren. He was stunned for a moment and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m worried that this person will intercept and kill us in the Heaven Realm.” Xiao Chen said with a frown.
Luo Die thought for a moment. Last time, he had disturbed the Life and Death Alliance and crushed Wuji Shangren’s communication jade letter. Normally speaking, Wuji Shangren would indeed pursue this matter. However, the Eastern Cultivation World was currently in chaos, so it might not be completely the case.
“This person’s dao field is on an island called ‘Li Yao’ in the Heaven Rank Domain. There are about 3,000 disciples under his sect. Unless you possess a special treasure, he shouldn’t come looking for trouble with you this time.”
Luo Die looked at him and paused for a while before continuing, “After leaving the Ancient Planet Dao, the area connected to the Heaven Ranked Cultivation Domain is very wide. Moreover, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations here are very large, and his divine sense is unable to find you. Therefore, it is almost impossible for him to intercept and kill you in the Heaven Ranked Cultivation Domain that has left the Ancient Planet Dao.”
“This is … the best.”
Xiao Chen did not continue to ask, but he knew that Wuji Shangren was at least at the Profound Comprehension Realm and above. Being intercepted and killed by an expert at the Profound Comprehension Realm and above was terrifying to think about.
In the next three days, the two finally crossed the Ancient Planet Road. Only on the fourth day did they think of a way to enter the Heaven Ranked Cultivation Domain.
Compared to the Earth Realm and the Mortal Realm, the Spiritual Qi in the Heaven Realm was much more abundant and stable. At the very least, it was unlikely that the entire country would collapse overnight due to the sudden dissipation of Spiritual Energy like the Mortal Realm.
In front of him was an endless mountain range, one layer at a time, as if there was no end. Even with a map, Xiao Chen did not know where to go.
Luo Die walked forward and looked at the mountain range in front of her. She said, “Go that way for three days and you will see an endless snowy mountain range. That is the border mountain range of the Cold Heaven Kingdom. After passing through, it will be the Cold Heaven Kingdom. The Qiongsang Mountain is above the Golden Crow Kingdom. We will not go to the Golden Crow Kingdom, but we will need to pass through the Cold Heaven Kingdom.”
“Let’s go.”
Xiao Chen didn’t ask anymore. Even though he didn’t know who Luo Die was until now, he didn’t think that she would lie to him because she still had the Yin Yang restriction of the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique in her body.
Three days later, the temperature suddenly dropped by a lot. It was as if it had suddenly entered the depths of winter from the scorching summer. Even the air revealed a bone-piercing chill.
When the two of them reached noon, He looked up and said, As expected, a faint snowy mountain appeared in front of us. Luo Die said, “That’s it. This mountain range is called the Frost Mountain Range. If it is fast, it will take two to three days to pass through. However, if there is a snowstorm or snow demon beasts blocking our way, it might be a bit late. Because we are from the Earth Realm, we can only walk this way. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if we are discovered.”
At this point, she turned around and saw Xiao Chen staring at her motionlessly. He probably still didn’t trust her very much. She frowned and said, “Just trust me. I said that I would bring you to Yang Valley, so I will definitely do it. Besides, you have placed a restriction on my body. If I play any tricks, wouldn’t it be easy for you to kill me?”
“It’s best if that’s the case.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. He pointed his finger and took out his flying sword and flew towards the snow mountain ahead. Luo Die frowned and pinched her hand. Then, she stepped on the flying sword and followed him.
In an instant, the two of them arrived at the peak of the snow mountain. Fei Xue circled in the wind. In front of them was a boundless snow mountain range. Without a Nascent Soul or above cultivation, it was almost impossible for them to cross such a vast snow mountain range. Even if they did not freeze to death, they would still be attacked by the snow beasts and snow demons in the mountain.
“Let’s go.”
The two of them rode their flying swords and flew in the mountains for a day and night. Looking around, they saw that the sky was still cold and the earth was white, and there was still no end to it.
Luo Die’s strength was not as strong as Xiao Chen’s. When dusk fell the next day, a thick layer of ice had already formed on his body. He was so cold that he couldn’t help but tremble. If he forcefully used his sword, he would be in danger.
“Let’s go down.”
Xiao Chen was worried that something would happen to her. He immediately rode his sword and landed in a cave below. When he reached the cave, he found some dry branches to seal the entrance of the cave, so as to prevent the cold wind from pouring in from outside.
After a long while, Luo Die’s body slowly regained its temperature. However, it still felt cold. Seeing her current appearance, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but recall the days when she and Wei Yang were in the Kunlun Mountains. That was also the case …
“You … are you also afraid of the cold?”
“Ah?”
Luo Die raised her head and saw him asking her such a strange question. She frowned and said, “It’s cold here. Who doesn’t fear the cold? You … You’re a monster, of course you’re not afraid.”
“Monster …”
Xiao Chen raised his palm and looked at it. It seemed that he really wasn’t afraid of the cold here, but if Wei Yang came here, he would probably not be able to withstand the cold weather here even more than Luo Die.
The two of them stopped talking. The snowstorm outside gradually became heavier and heavier, quickly covering up their tracks when they arrived. Occasionally, there was a “creak” sound. Probably, a snow fox ran over from outside the cave.
Until late at night, the snow stopped at an unknown time. A crescent moon gradually rose up the mountain top, making the entire peak of the snow mountain look like a dream.
Luo Die was already somewhat sleepy. She leaned against the stone wall and gradually closed her eyes, while Xiao Chen sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave. Although she also closed her eyes, her divine sense was able to clearly see everything outside.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a divine sense descending from a thousand miles away.
