Seeing the sound of battle suddenly stop, Aira started to have a bad feeling about it. She didn\'t know why, but there was an intense feeling in her heart that something was wrong. 

Unfortunately for her, the Celestial Lotus still hadn\'t matured. Taking it now was no different than making it completely useless. 

"Hurry up! Please mature fast!" She kept repeating, glaring at the Celestial Lotus. 

The woman clenched her fist in frustration. However, she couldn\'t give up after coming so far. 

"Huh?" 

Suddenly she felt a gust of wind coming from the distance. Something big was coming! She looked in that direction, noticing a giant blurry figure that was getting bigger. 

Because of the white mist, she couldn\'t see properly, but from that size, it was clear who it was!

"The Snow Dragon?! How did it end the battle so soon? This shouldn\'t have happened! Unless, the ones he fought weren\'t from the Divine Realm!"

With the thought, her face went pale. She hastily retreated as fast as she could, but no matter how fast she was, she couldn\'t leave before the Dragon\'s arrival. 

To avoid being seen, she hid behind a frozen tree in the distance. 

She didn\'t know who the Dragon won against, but they clearly weren\'t from the Divine Realm! She was sure about that. That meant that the people from Divine Realm were soon to arrive in this place!

She just had to remain hidden until then, and take the Lotus as soon as the Dragon left... Or at least that\'s what she thought. 

However, when the Snow Dragon finally landed on the ground, her face went slightly pale. She felt a chill run down her spine. 

She could see a figure standing above the giant body of the Snow Dragon. 

\'Why?! Why is he here?!\' Aira\'s face was as pale as a thin sheet of paper, noticing the man that she never would\'ve expected to see here!

It went against all she knew! In her memories, this man hadn\'t come down to get the Celestial Lotus! Let alone come down, he shouldn\'t even be strong enough to defeat the Snow Dragon at this period in time! 

After the Dragon landed on the ground, the young man landed on the ground. 

He was quite glad that the Snow Dragon came to him. Without him, it would\'ve been much harder for him to find the Celestial Lotus, especially since his Divine Consciousness was quite restricted on the top of the mountain. 

While he could cover hundreds of meters when he was on the foot of the mountain, but at the top, his consciousness couldn\'t cover more than a few meters. 

Only he knew how long it would\'ve taken for him to find this place blindly. 

"So this is the much longed after, Celestial Lotus..." Xu Shan glanced at the flower in the middle of the frozen pond. "What a pity. It\'s not mature yet."

"If it was mature, do you think I would\'ve left it until now?" The Snow Dragon scoffed as he slowly transformed into his humanoid form once again. 

Even Aira didn\'t know that the Snow Dragon on the mountain was able to transform, since according to her knowledge, he never revealed this ability when he fought and died last time. 

\'Why is the Dragon not attacking him and instead led this demon here?\' Aira wondered, frowning. 

Not only did the Dragon carry Xu Shan, but he was also talking in a respectful manner, which felt odd for a being that powerful. Unfortunately she couldn\'t ask him directly. 

Let alone ask the dragon, the woman didn\'t even have the courage to come out from behind the tree as that nightmarish human was standing next to him. 

"How long until it matures?" Xu Shan asked the Snow Dragon. 

"Should be one day." The humanoid dragon sat down. His body still felt the aftereffect of the lightning strike.

Xu Shan also couldn\'t do anything about it. He also sat down, and started waiting. It was only a matter of time after all. 

....

The Peak of the Mountain was still. There was no battle anymore. Feeling the calm, Duan Mu wondered if Xu Shan actually won. He really wanted to go check. 

However, he controlled himself. Instead of going up, he remained down and continued practicing his sword. He knew he was still weak... Even after so many precious fruits, his strength was still limited. 

That was why he relied on his Sword, trying to master the skill that Xu Shan taught him. 

However, even now, his Sword movements were a little unpolished, as if he was a Novice who was trying to learn the Sword. 

As he swung his sword, his figure appeared as if he was performing a sword dance on the snow, improving with each passing second. 

The pendant around his neck also continued shining. However, in the middle, a mysterious force came out of the pendant. Duan Mu\'s body disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace behind. Only the marks of his footsteps were still left behind, which were soon buried in the snow as well. 

Duan Mu soon found himself in an unknown space. It was as if he was in a small room, which was only a few meters wide and a few meters long. However, the strange part was that the room had no walls. Instead of walls, there was only pitch black darkness that acted as the wall. 

"Where am I?" He frowned. He raised his Sword, slashing it down, thinking that he was caught in some trap illusion formation. 

A bright red arc of light left his sword, striking at the walls made of darkness. However, to his surprise, not only were the walls not destroyed, but the attack bounced back instead, coming straight for him. 

"This..." Duan Mu raised his Sword, blocking his attack. Even then, he was forced a few steps back. 

"You are weaker than I expected." 

While Duan Mu was still confused, a voice fell in his ears, as if someone was whispering from behind him. 

He turned around, raising his Sword. However, what he saw next stunned him.
