Chapter 398
“Elder! An elder! Look at what I picked up!” Nu Nu ran all the way into a tall Palace, looking very excited.
Along the way, many slightly ” beautiful ” female-looking snowmen turned their heads to look at it. Looking at his gaze, it seemed that he was not bragging when he said that he was the most handsome snowman in the tribe.
Li Chu and the other two followed behind it. They looked at the ice and snow Buildings along the way. All of them were similar snowmen. They felt that it was very mysterious.
This was probably one of the charms of the secret realm.
Before entering it, one would never be able to guess what kind of world it was.
However, this charm was always accompanied by an unknown risk. If not for Li Chu, Qing Shui Jian and Cang Yunzi would have died before they could even see the city.
An old snowman with a slightly hunched back and eyes that had seen many vicissitudes of life came out of the palace. Although snowmen didn’t have wrinkles or beards, they still aged visibly.
“Nu Nu, why are you making such a big fuss?” The snowman elder reproached, but there was no displeasure in his tone. He was like a kind elder.
“Elder, look, I’ve brought back three foreigners,” He pointed at the three people behind him.
“Oh, my God!” Elder Yeti’s eyes widened. he’s really a foreigner? the foreigner mentioned in the ancestral teachings? ”
“That’s right! He’s a foreigner as mentioned in the ancestral teachings!”
“Can they breathe?”
“I will!”
“Do they know how to walk?”
“I will!”
“Can they talk?”
“I will!”
“These foreigners are really amazing!” The snowman elder shouted excitedly.
“......”
The three of them were silent for a moment.
“Is that a compliment?” clear water sword asked softly.
Cang Yunzi replied,”right, Zhenzhen?”
but why don’t I feel happy? ” clear water sword squinted his eyes.
Li Chu nodded silently.
Nu Nu and the elder of the snowmen shouted at each other for a while before they finally explained the matter clearly.
The Yeti elder’s gaze fell on Li Chu.
“He killed a snow demon that was as tall as a small mountain with a single move? Heavens.” It still spoke in that exaggerated tone, ” the ancestral teachings are true. You are indeed sent by the heavens to help us eliminate the snow demons.
“In fact,” Li Chu said slowly.”Of course not. We’re here to look for something. If you are able to help us search for that Suan ni, then I can indeed help you fight the snow demons.”
this isn’t help. It’s an equivalent exchange.
At the beginning of the exchange, he had emphasized the definition to prevent the snowman elder from having any unrealistic fantasies.
“Oh?” The Yeti elder calmed down. what are you looking for? ”
this Suan ni ... Cang Yunzi said, ” we can’t be sure, so we want to take a look at your city’s Suan ni and that holy mountain, as well as the so-called ‘paradise’ at the top of the mountain.
“Haha, as long as you don’t hurt our people, it’s no problem for you to walk around the city.” The snowman elder laughed. however, I can’t go up the holy mountain to look at you guys.
“Oh?”
because only snowmen can enter the cloud top celestial realm. That’s why they say we’re creatures born on the top of the holy mountain. Nu Nu explained at the side.
so we can’t go up to Xuanji? ” Cang Yunzi touched his chin, ” the place with the most likely Jade Lake water. If we don’t go and see Xuanji ...
“Actually,” elder Yeti thought for a while and said slowly,”I’m sorry.”If you guys really want to reach the cloud top celestial realm, there’s a way.”
“What?” The three of them looked at it together, their eyes showing that they were going to start talking.
“I was worried that you would destroy the immortal land, so I didn’t mention it. If you’re just looking for that ‘celestial water’, there are indeed two springs in the cloud top celestial realm, yin and yang. It’s said that if you combine the yin spring and yang spring, you can produce’ celestial water ‘with divine power.”
“However, the Suan ni is a legend from a long time ago. Since a few thousand years ago, the cold Yin spring has been occupied by the snow demons.”
“Wait, Yingluo.”
As the snowman elder was explaining, Cang Yunzi suddenly interrupted him.
“Elder, didn’t you just say that snow demons can’t ascend to the cloud top celestial realm? How did they manage to occupy a spring for thousands of years?”
He accurately grasped the blind spot.
hehe, this is the reason why you can also ascend to the cloud top Fairyland, ” the snowman elder said with a smile. a long, long time ago, our ancestors invented a ritual of ice and snow sacrifice, which can transform snow beasts into snowmen. After that, the snow demons stole the ritual of the ice Festival. They used the ritual to transform themselves into snowmen and ascend to the cloud Summit celestial realm.”
“The snow beasts can, the snow demons can,” the clear water sword asked.”Then we can also turn into snowmen? Will it be dangerous?”
um, I’m not sure. You foreigners have a completely different structure from us. I don’t know what will happen to you after the ice Festival. The snowman elder was a little unconfident at the question, but he immediately smiled like a Crouching dragon and phoenix.
“But I have a good idea to know if you will be in danger.”
“What brilliant plan?” The three of them looked at him expectantly.
The elder of the snowmen slowly spat out three words, ” “I’ll try.”
“?”
The three of them were confused.
...
“You can send someone to try it first, and then you’ll know if it’ll work.” The snowman elder spread his hands, his expression saying,”how could you not have thought of this?”
but ... Qing Shui Jian said, ” what if there’s danger? wouldn’t the person who tried it be in trouble? ”
“Why don’t you just send the weakest person to try?” only if you succeed will you have the hope of reaching the cloud top celestial realm, ” the snowman elder said. if you fail, you can still preserve your strength.
“How can you do this! This is too inhumane!” The clear water sword retorted.
The snowman elder looked at Li Chu and the other man, then at the clear water sword, and asked, ” “Why are you the only one opposing it?”
Clear water sword paused for a moment, then said, ” because I’m the weakest person now, Yingluo.
“......”
After listening to their conversation for a while, Li Chu said, ” “Why don’t I try first?”
brother li! clear water sword turned to look at him, tears in his eyes.
Li Chu was not trying to stand up for himself, but he felt that the ritual was unlikely to be dangerous. Moreover, with his current physical strength, the laws of this secret realm might not be able to completely harm him.
In the face of unknown risks, he was indeed the one with stronger resistance.
...
Even though he was always cautious when it came to matters that involved his own safety, Li Chu was always willing to step forward when it came to protecting others.
alright, you’re really a courageous foreigner. The snowman elder praised and said, ” “Then Let’s Make a Deal. I’ll help you guys try to carry out the ice Festival, and if it’s successful, you guys have to help us get back the spring eye while you’re looking for the celestial water in the cloud top Fairyland. If we fail, then we’ll just pretend that nothing happened.”
“Sure.”
Li Chu nodded in response.
......
There was a huge ice cave at the southern end of naixue city. As soon as he approached it, he felt a cold air. The altar where the ice Festival was held was directly above the ice cave.
When Li Chu scanned the place with his mind, he could sense a rather terrifying aura that he had never seen before. He could not help but be shocked.
“What’s inside?” He asked.
“He’s The Guardian of our naixue city.” The snowman elder said.
“Compared to the snow demons, The Power of Us snowmen is simply too weak, and the walls of the city can’t stop those terrifying giant demons.” The reason why we can live in this city is because there’s a divine beast that we brought down from the top of the holy mountain. It has always been guarding our city. With such a great existence, we won’t have to worry about the snow demons coming to harass us.”
“It’s an ice attribute Qilin spiritual beast. We all call it bi an.”
“Ice Qilin,”
“It’s actually a Qilin!” The few of them were surprised.
Among the five auspicious signs in the world, other than the four symbols, the remaining one was the Qilin.
The only difference was that the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and black Tortoise were the absolute elites of their respective races, which was why they could become legendary existences.
As for the Qilin, it was a naturally auspicious beast. There would only be one Qilin of each attribute in the world. When the previous one fell, a new one would appear. As for the Qilin that had grown to adulthood, it was a top existence. From this perspective, the Qilin race had a more powerful bloodline than the Dragon race.
However, since ancient times, the number of Qilins that had appeared in the world was very few.
It was said that Guo longque had raised a Qilin on the broken stele mountain. This absolute power was also the main reason why the rebel’s big target had not been eliminated.
Who would’ve thought that there would be an ancient ice Qilin that had never appeared in this world in this secret realm?
“If you have a Qilin to help you, those snow demons are nothing but chickens and dogs. Why are you afraid of them? Why don’t we just let the Qilin go over and kill them?” The clear water sword asked.
Who knew that after hearing this, the snowman elder and Nu Nu both revealed a slightly angry expression.
“The ice Qilin isn’t a Snow Beast that we’re raising. It’s a Guardian that we’re nurturing!” The snowman elder said loudly, ” why would it allow us to drive it to kill? ”
The clear water sword shrunk his neck and no longer made a sound.
After a while, the group followed the mountain peak above the ice cave and climbed up to the altar.
This so-called altar was more like a huge circular platform. It was not high above the ground and was quite wide from the front to the back. Looking down from the sky, one could see that there were rather complicated patterns drawn on it, and the overall shape was like a hexagonal snowflake.
“Now,” the Yeti elder said to Li Chu, ” “All you need to do is stand in the middle of the altar and wait for the snow to fall. During this process, no matter what happens, don’t resist it. Yunjun, you’d better enjoy it. ”
“Yes.”
yes, ” Li Chu replied and stepped onto the center of the altar.
Then, the snowman elder instructed nuonuo, ” “Go strike the bell.”
Nu Nu accepted the order and immediately ran to the side of the altar. Inside a Pavilion with a large Ice Bell hanging from it, she rang the ice Bell with all her might! It was actually a metallic clang!
Clang–
The voice was quickly transmitted to naixue city by the strong wind.
After a short while, a large number of figures rushed to the altar. They were the snowmen from the city who came from all directions. They came to the bottom of the altar, all very familiar with the process. He didn’t make any noise, just stood there quietly with his head lowered, as if he was chanting something.
As the number of snowmen increased, the atmosphere gradually became heavy.
Not long after, snowflakes the size of goose feathers began to fall from the sky.
The clear water sword whispered,”why do I feel like they’re mourning?” You’re not going to send it away to my brother li, are you?”
“Don’t mess around,” Cang Yunzi said,”I feel like this is more like a ritual to pray for snow, hehe.”
“Not bad.” this sacrifice was indeed discovered by our ancestors by accident during the snow prayer ceremony, ” the snowman elder said. as time passed, it evolved into the ice and snow sacrifice we have today.
With that, he raised his hands and closed his eyes, as if he was communicating with heaven and earth.
Cang Yunzi and the clear water sword did not dare to disturb him.
On the other hand, Li Chu.
He stood alone in the middle of the empty altar, feeling the surroundings gradually turn cold. The snow fell slowly, and soon, a deep layer of snow had accumulated.
He subconsciously wanted to lift his foot, but he felt as if some power was gathering towards him from the snow. He could feel that he could get rid of it if he exerted a little more strength. However, he remembered the words of the elder of the snowmen and did not resist this power.
He also had this kind of experience in the mystic realm in the past, and it felt somewhat familiar.
Gradually, the accumulated snow reached her waist.
It didn’t make him feel cold, so he didn’t feel uncomfortable and continued to wait.
In the end, Li Chu’s head was buried under the thick snow.
The amazing thing was that the snow on this altar was so high, but it did not scatter to the surroundings at all. And the snow that filled the sky did not fall outside at all.
Clear water sword frowned as he looked at Li Chu being buried in the snow. He couldn’t help but feel suspicious.”Isn’t this some kind of weird burial method?”
Before he could finish his sentence, the snowman elder opened his eyes.
“It’s very fast, Yingluo.”
“It’s actually completed.”
The Yeti elder waved his hands and shouted, ” come out, Yingluo! Come back to life, Yingluo!
Bang-
His words were like an order. The strange power that surrounded the altar seemed to have disappeared, and countless piles of snow instantly poured out. With a boom, they slowly spread out in all directions.
In the middle of the altar, Li Chu’s figure gradually appeared.
No.
It was no longer Li Chu, but a new snowman.
Slender, straight, and pure white.
Under the sunlight, it looked like the most perfect piece of art in the world.
As the figure was revealed inch by inch, all the surrounding snowmen cried out in surprise.
“Whoosh-”
There was an uproar!
“What’s wrong?” The clear water sword was excited about the success of the ceremony. Suddenly, he saw the exclamations of the snowmen around him and was a little puzzled.
The snowmen shouted, ” how can there be such a handsome snowman in the world? my God! Can this really exist? ”
I actually participated in the birth of such a beautiful snowman. It’s really an honor for Yingying!
I’m afraid that this is a beauty that has never appeared in the history of the entire naixue city!
“......”
He grinned as if he wanted to complain, but he had no idea what to say. In the end, he could only sigh, ” “As expected of brother li.”
On the other side, a snowman had a different expression from the rest.
That was Nu Nu.
He was originally happy about the success of the ritual, but when he saw Li Chu’s complete figure, he suddenly froze.
The joy on his face gradually collapsed and was replaced by disbelief.
I, Yingluo, am no longer the most handsome snowman in the world? ” It let out the sound of a heart breaking.
At this time, Cang Yunzi patted him on the shoulder.
“I understand how you feel.”
