Chapter 905 Unintentional Enlightenment
Chapter 905: Unintentional Enlightenment
If Yue Yang didn’t go to White River City with Princess Qian Qian, he would have asked Xue Wu Xia to explore the ancient runes.
After all, a world of two was proven to be warmer than one.
But she was indeed invited.
If Princess Qian Qian was left behind and he just went out with Xue Wu Xia, Yue Yang estimated that Tigress would be so angry that she could not eat well and couldn’t sleep for three days and nights. Although the Tigress Princess Qian Qian was rather rogue, Yue Yang still loved the girl to death in his heart. So he grabbed Princess Qian Qiani’s little hand and didn’t let go.
“Okay, I’ll go alright?” Princess Qian Qian was not a fool as she could understand Yue Yang’s intentions.
“Tigress is so obedient!” Student Yue Yang was overjoyed when he heard this as that was what he was waiting for.
“The Third Young Master’s method of picking up girls is really clever. I’m impressed, so impressed…” Xue Wu Xia was slightly annoyed and couldn’t help but tease him. Yue Yang replied with a smile on his face, “Bro, I just want a meal, you know? Let me make a living!” When it came to tactics, who else could be as skilled as the Third Young Master of the Yue Clan? That said, Xue Wu Xia felt as if her fist was hitting against a lump of cotton. Feeling helpless against his charms, she had no choice but to reward him with an eye roll, which was regarded as forgiving him for the little protest before. Princess Qian Qian gave Xue Wu Xia a slightly apologetic look, saying that she didn’t intend to destroy their ‘two-person world’ and it was the kid who insisted on dragging her along.
Xue Wu Xia smiled indifferently.
This was nothing to her. If she didn’t want Princess Qian Qian to join them, she wouldn’t have waited until Yue Yang ‘blocked her way and invited her midway on their journey’.
It would be better for Tigress to follow us—there would only be improvement if there was competition. Luo Hua, Wu Hen, Yi Nan and the others were not deemed competition. Only someone who had the Six Records could compete with me— which was none other than Tigress!
At the 10th floor of the Tong Tian Tower.
Xue Wu Xia led the way to a unit world full of ice and snow.
In the entire unit world, there was no life and no vitality. Looking around, there was an endless snowy field.
All of the mountains and rivers were made of ice. There was no soil, no sand, no rocks and no life. The entire unit world was merely filled with heaps and chunks of ice!
“This world is weird, how did you find it?” The well-informed Yue Yang has never seen such a peculiar world of ice and snow. Even if it was cold, there would still be life in a normal ice-filled world. However, there were no signs of life here, not even ice elemental beasts or beings that would normally exist in an icy area. It was absolutely unimaginable.
“This was the case. Night Empress mentioned a book, saying that there were many miscellaneous books in the Innate Alliance. For example, there was a book that introduced strange things and strange stories recorded by different explorers from different eras. Elder Nan Gong was coincidentally going to the Soaring Dragon Continent as well, so I requested him to bring in some books. I did not go in depth about the other strange occurrences, but the description of this Ice World piqued my interests a lot. Hence, when you were refining the Beast Bracelets with Night Empress, I came here alone for an observation. I realised that here, there was an unexplainable type of ice energy present. And through three days and three nights of searching, accompanied by the Storm Goddess, we were finally able to find an ice mountain that is about 6000 kilometers from here. I suspect that there should be a Frost Type Ancient Rune there!” Xue Wu Xia explained about what had happened.
“With the Frost Type Ancient Rune, I believe you can be promoted to the Innate Supreme realm, but I don’t know when my time will come!” Princess Qian Qian couldn’t help but sigh. With the Prison Emperor’s Divine Sword in her hands, how could her progress be inferior to Xue Wu Xia?
“This is just luck!” Xue Wu Xia said that it had nothing to do with strength.
“Luck is also a part of strength.” Princess Qian Qian took a deep breath and put aside the problem in her heart. The stronger Xue Wu Xia was, the less likely would she concede defeat.
“Actually last time…” Yue Yang extorted a seemingly astonishing White Tiger Pearl from Lord Black Flame. He didn’t care about it, but when he was free, he used the Nirvana Flame to purify it and then used his Innate Sword Qi to finish the job. With a shock, he unlocked the seal and discovered that it turned out to be an Ultra Holy White Tiger Sacred Pearl.
Yue Yang deliberately took Princess Qian Qian to White River City of the Heaven Realm as he already had the intentions of initiating the Double Cultivation among the two in their own world.
It’s just that Xue Wu Xia’s plan to find the ancient runes postponed the plan slightly.
Princess Qian Qian not only knew that he had harvested Vulcan Soul Refining Herb, Di Gui Yin Flame and the Di Yan Ore, she was also aware that Yue Yang had successfully obtained a Duo Luo Pearl Necklace through blackmail.
Because she was too surprised that Yue Yang had managed to extract the Vulcan Soul Refining Herb, she didn’t pay attention to hearing that there was a White Tiger Pearl that was left behind.
At that time, Yue Yang didn’t realize that the unbelievable White Tiger Pearl was a Holy treasure, so he didn’t say much. It wasn’t until the research on the Beast Bracelet was successful that he had discovered its true appearance. With that, he also thought of giving Princess Qian Qian a surprise.
He was about to speak about the White Tiger Sacred Pearl when he felt that there was a sudden energy fluctuation.
It seemed like there was a certain power that extracted a trace of pure energy from the bodies of Yue Yang, Xue Wu Xia, and Princess Qian Qian. Among them, Xue Wu Xia, who possessed ice energy, had her power drawn the most, nearly taking 10% of it away. Princess Qian Qian came in second and Yue Yang’s energy was least absorbed because of his special physique. Even so, it was close to absorbing 1/1000 of his total energy.
“We are at a distance of 6000 kilometers away, yet it could still extract our strength?” Yue Yang was shocked.
“This, I am afraid, has surpassed the ordinary power of the Law!” Princess Qian Qian also felt that it was unfathomable. Extracting her energy was no big deal, but to be able to extract Yue Yang’s energy was shocking— he was an Innate Supreme after all!
“When you get to the destination, you will feel more emotional after reading it,” Xue Wu Xia smiled.
“Let’s go then!” Yue Yang originally wanted to use the Quintet Golden Puppet Mice to explore, but now he felt like it might be a wrong move. Being reluctant to summon the Quintet Golden Puppet Mice, he grasped onto the thin waists of the two women and used a large amount of his energy to teleport them in the direction where Xue Wu Xia was indicating towards.
In this kind of snowfield with almost no barriers to the plains, Yue Yang could cover the 6000 kilometer distance with just ten minutes of teleportation.
Teleporting for more than 600 kilometers per time.
After 60 or 70 teleportations, a majestic mountain with a height of 10,000 meters was in front of Yue Yang’s eyes.
The peak of the mountain was as sharp as a sword piercing the sky, seeming like it was making a crevice form in the sky. The whole mountain was made of ice and snow without a grain of sand, soil, grass or trees. The sky was cold and quiet as there was no trace of wind, whereas the snowy field on the ground produced layers of ripples that were made of heaps of snow waves. The strangest thing was that these snow wave ripples spread out from all around to the iceberg, constantly becoming a part of the iceberg as it increased in size and thickened.
When Yue Yang used his Heaven Eyes Transverse, he scanned with all his strength.
He found that the entire ice and snow world was like this as all of the cold energy was converging on this iceberg. He didn’t know how long it took to fill a mountain full of ice energy, but he guessed that it must have taken at least a few millennia to do so.
Why was there no life?
Because this iceberg will constantly absorb energy from the outside world. Hence, it was impossible for any life to survive here… Ordinary icebergs would not be like this, so there must be ancient runes here that were exerting their power—Xue Wu Xia’s previous judgment was correct. Now, the only problem was how to transform this ancient rune of the Frost Type, which has been around for millions of years, for his own use!
This was the hardest part.
However, if he succeeded in doing so, Xue Wu Xia would easily break through the Innate Supreme Realm and become the second person to break through after Yue Yang!
“Tsk!” Princess Qian Qian lifted the Prison Emperor’s Divine Sword, blessed with the power of the four directions, and slashed at the iceberg with all her strength.
The power of this sword could completely kill a heaven Ranked martial artist in seconds.
The Sword Qi soared.
The powerful slash of the blade directly split the space, as even the sky has drawn an invisible rift.
Under the gaze of Yue Yang and Xue Wu Xia, the Sword Qi of the Prison Emperor’s Divine Sword was brought down heavily onto the iceberg.
Boom!
The entire iceberg seemed to be shaking.
However, it turned out that Princess Qian Qian was discouraged… With such a powerful slash, not a trace of a scar was left behind. With her eyes, she carefully searched on the ice wall of the iceberg and found a small cut that had the thickness of a strand of hair. The scar was still a small scratch and it was slowly recovering! This iceberg was simply the ‘10,000 Years of Profound Ice’ formed from pure energy for millenia. Therefore, it was not an existence that could be shaken by humans!
“If this continues, we will have direct access to the core in another ten thousand years,” Princess Qian Qian felt powerless for the first time, seeing that the iceberg was too strong.
“Brute force definitely won’t work, we have to find a way,” Yue Yang has never been a person who solves problems purely with brute force.
“Perhaps, I can try to sense it from the bottom, but I need your Supreme Will to help,” Xue Wu Xia did not finish speaking before both Yue Yang and Princess Qian Qian strongly opposed. To sense that ancient rune with the will was extremely dangerous. Without caring whether or not it could be sensed, the energy of the ancient runes will regard this ‘sense’ as an attack. Then, it would immediately launch a counterattack, ranging from physical injury to severe annihilation of the soul.
“No, no! Even with my will to help, this is a stupid behavior,” Yue Yang refused, “There must be another way!”
“I’ll just give it a try. If it doesn’t work, we will all go back. It’s the best case scenario to have ancient runes, but I won’t risk it with everyone else’s lives,” Xue Wu Xia smiled at Yue Yang slightly. Yes, she was definitely eager to advance to the Supreme Innate realm, but she definitely didn’t want Yue Yang to take such a risk because of herself.
“If you want to try, I will try!” Yue Yang wouldn’t let her take the risks.
“Both of you calm down, this iceberg will not be going anywhere. We can slowly figure out a way because we have time,” Princess Qian Qian hurriedly persuaded, “If we can’t think of a way, then we’ll have a talk with the Night Empress and Zhi Zun to see if they have some good alternatives or suggestions. The method of sensing is not good indeed— the ancient runes are definitely not that easy to sense. What’s more is that it was now protected by the entire iceberg of 10000 Years of Profound Ice. Sit down, let’s think about it. In fact, why don’t we try something one by one or use World to absorb and fight for energy? It will be stronger than our brute force since it has limitless amounts of energy!”
The last sentence was like a flash of light, directly hitting the depths of Yue Yang’s mind.
Yue Yang trembled and looked at Princess Qian Qian as he yelled, “Wait, you-what did you just say? World? Are you talking about the World?”
Xue Wu Xia found it a little strange— she hadn’t thought about using World to absorb the energy through this method. However, the slow speed is a concern and she was afraid that it would not be effective even after ten thousand years. Yet, why was Yue Yang so excited? Was he going to borrow this method and come up with a suitable countermeasure?
She was as excited as she was speechless.
Her little hand gripped Yue Yang’s arm tightly, while on the other side, Princess Qian Qian stammered and replied, “Ah, I-I seem to be- that’s what I said, right? This method is not very good, either, I guess.It’s too slow, I know. Just now, it was just a sp-spur of the moment kind of statement. Wh-why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something right?”
“It’s so right!” Yue Yang hugged Princess Qian Qian tightly, patting her waist with his hand and kissed her excitedly, “Tigress, taking you along to have an adventure together was the right call. You inspired me, yes, your last sentence! I’m so stupid— I have always had one of the best ways, but I’ve been so useless. Oh wow, I’m such an idiot! It’s such a good plan, yet I have been idling like this. My goodness! If only I’d realised that earlier, things wouldn’t have turned out like this! Hahahaha, I’m lucky that you reminded me, Tigress!”
“I didn’t say anything!” Princess Qian Qian herself felt puzzled.
“Quick, speak up, what is the solution?” Xue Wu Xia couldn’t calm down now because she was already convinced that Yue Yang had really thought of a way to crack it. Besides, this was all because of the unintentional inspiration stated by the rogue Princess Qian Qian.
“This is how the plan works best… Before that, I would like to ask her first. You guys can go into the Grimoire World for a bit, I’ll be back soon!” Yue Yang couldn’t wait to let Xiao Wen Li take care of Xue Wu Xia and Princess Qian Qian. After introducing the Grimoire World, he circled the iceberg at a very fast speed, trying to collect as much information as possible.
Xiao Wen Li came out and nodded to indicate that she was ready.
Yue Yang picked up the little baby, “Come on, let’s go see mom again!”
[TL note]:
At this point there’s more new characters that are emerging so I’m kind of making the glossary instead of referring to it. I’ll try my best to provide them as accurately as I can, so let me know if any of the names seem awkward or don’t flow all that well!
At any rate, enjoy the chapter! Hope you guys have a great day/night ahead of you!
