Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 174
Chapter 174: Near Big, Far Small
Wei Huo was confused. Who was the person frozen in the coffin? Why did she look so similar to Lu Qiqi?
While Wei Huo felt confused, the woman in the black ice suddenly moved her eyelashes.
Wei Huo was shocked. He unleashed his Nirvana Domain and wrapped it around himself. The Cold Light Sword in his sleeve was about to stab him.
This was a terrifying existence at the peak of the Legendary stage. It was not a Legendary being that was enhanced by the system. It was a Legendary being that reached the realm through cultivation. His strength could not be underestimated!
As Wei Huo was feeling bewildered, a telepathic thought appeared from the black ice. It did not have any hostility. It merely circled around the pyramid and returned to the black ice to form a thumb-sized golden shadow.
Wei Huo was shocked. What was this?
The golden shadow gradually formed a golden girl the size of a thumb. Her appearance was no different from the woman in the black ice. Her golden clothes swayed, and her long hair fluttered. However, her eyes were pitch-black and full of spirit energy. She blinked and asked playfully, “Who are you?”
Wei Huo took a closer look at the woman in the black ice and realized that she was still sleeping without showing any signs of waking up. However, the golden pixie formed by the Divine Thought was very agile. She flew around in the air and looked at Wei Huo curiously as if she was waiting for his answer.
Wei Huo looked at her carefully and said, “My name is Wei Huo. You look like someone I know, but you’re not her. Who are you?”
The little golden pixie flew in front of Wei Huo and unleashed its domain power. It was similar to Wei Huo’s Nirvana Aura, but it was much stronger than the black fish from before.
The golden pixie asked, “Is the person you know over 20 years old?”
Wei Huo said, “She was over 35 years old when I met her. I think she’s still alive. If she’s alive, she must be at least 200 years old.”
The golden pixie nodded. “Then she has nothing to do with me. The women of our race can’t live past 20 years old.”
Wei Huo asked, “Why?”
The golden pixie put her hands behind her back and tilted her head. “Because we’ve been blessed by the heavens! The women of our race have a Nine-Revolution Mystic Yin Body. Our cultivation is twice as efficient. We can build our Dao foundation as soon as we’re born. We’ll definitely cultivate our Golden Core before we’re 14 years old. We’ll reach the peak of the Golden Core at 19 years old. However, we’ll die when we’re 20 years old. There’s no exception.”
Wei Huo was shocked. She must have reached the peak of the Legendary stage before turning 19 years old. What kind of physique was that?
The golden pixie said, “We’re born with the ability to communicate with the world. There’s no need for us to deliberately grasp the Dao. We understand the millions of Great Dao in the world, and our cultivation progresses at a rapid rate. However, for some reason, our lifespan will not exceed 20 years. That’s why I created the Mystic Yin Ice Soul Skill and used it to freeze my soul. That’s the only way I could live for a long time and wait for the fated one.”
“Fated one?” Wei Huo was confused.
The golden pixie nodded vigorously. “I’m waiting for a nomological expert. An expert of this level can control laws. They might be able to change the constitution of our race. I’m waiting for such a person. I don’t want to die just like that. I’d rather wait for this person for millions of years!”
Wasn’t a nomological existence at the Mythical stage?
Wei Huo had seen a Mythical creature. It had been a Divine Beast with golden eyes. Its body had been as big as a continent, and it had been able to easily destroy a small world.
However, Wei Huo was only at the early stage of the Legendary level. He was still too far away from reaching the Legendary stage.
Wei Huo asked, “Do you have a sister? I’ve really seen someone who looks like you.”
The golden pixie spread her hands. “I have a sister who almost reached the nomological level. She took a step in and grasped a trace of Rule Power. Unfortunately, she died in the end and was buried in this pyramid. She was buried with countless ancestors of my race.”
Upon hearing that, Wei Huo decided to walk into the pyramid. However, the golden pixie saw through Wei Huo’s plan. She circled Wei Huo twice and said, “I advise you not to go in. You’ll be courting death if you enter the pyramid unless you’re at the peak of the Legendary stage. My ancestors are sleeping inside. There are three half-step nomological-level creatures. Although they’re dead, they can still emit Rule Power. You’ll die if you go in!”
Wei Huo frowned. He was in a dilemma.
In the end, the small golden pixie flew to one side of the pyramid. She pressed a button and a small crack appeared on the pyramid. Hundreds of wooden plaques flew out one after another. The small pixie looked at the wooden plaques and said, “Every wooden plaque records the life and appearance of our people. You can check the wooden plaques.”
Wei Huo said, “You said you have a sister. Do you look alike?”
The golden pixie tilted her head and a wooden plaque flew toward Wei Huo. Wei Huo grabbed it and a message entered his mind.
In the 32nd generation of the Mystic Yin Tribe, the head of the tribe’s eldest daughter was born. She was named Xue Qi and she married an ordinary person. She had one male and two female children. The eldest son and the second eldest daughter were born like ordinary people. The three women carried the body of the Mystic Yin and built their foundation at birth. They died at the age of 20.
The small golden pixie blinked her big eyes. “This is my mother. She married an ordinary person and tried to use the bloodline of that ordinary person to change my clan’s constitution. She almost succeeded. My sister was born as an ordinary person. She was still an ordinary person when she was 16 years old. She had a chance of living past 20 years old. My sister’s normal physique alarmed the clan. Many people were vying to marry an ordinary person. The more ordinary, the better. They hoped that this would improve my clan’s physique and increase the lifespan of the next generation.”
Wei Huo was speechless.
Why had ordinary people suddenly become popular?
Would a toad be lusting over swan meat? This was a group of 19-year-old girls at the peak of the Legendary stage. They were all shy and embarrassed, but they were vying to marry ordinary people.
At that moment, another wooden plaque flew toward Wei Huo. He grabbed it and a familiar figure appeared in his mind.
In the 33rd generation of the Mystic Yin Tribe, the younger daughter of the tribe leader was born as an ordinary person. She was named Pu Qi until she was 16 years old. After she turned 16 years old, her cultivation improved greatly. At 19, she was at the peak of the Legendary stage. She comprehended an incomplete rule at 20. The incomplete law was called ‘Near Big, Far Small’. She died at 20 years old.
Wei Huo was speechless.
Your naming ability needs to get better.
The small golden pixie sighed. “The bloodline of ordinary people is indeed powerful. However, my sister only lasted until she was 16 years old. In the end, she died.”
Wei Huo could not help but ask, “Do you think the three of you have comprehended incomplete rules and reached the half-step nomological level?”
The golden pixie nodded. “That’s right. The incomplete laws we have comprehended are ‘Near Big, Far Small’, ‘Eat if You Want To’, and ‘Sun After Rain’. You should have seen the law of ‘Near Big, Far Small’, right?”
Wei Huo was speechless. Why did you give awesome Rule Powers such crappy names?
The small golden pixie added, “In order to improve our race’s physique, it seems like we can only comprehend the ‘Normal’ law or find someone who is extremely ordinary to marry.”
