Chapter 1185: Chapter 1184: Stepping on the Tai Chi Diagram

"Ah?" Xue Shilou thought he must have heard wrong.

"What did you just say?" Xue Shilou cautiously repeated.

He had competed against the clock to invent new magic skills, all to ask the Snow Emperor to save Lu Yang.

"I’m only a Semi-Immortal, not strong enough to defeat an Immortal," the Snow Emperor seriously said, not feeling there was anything wrong with that statement. Rather, it would be peculiar if he could defeat an Immortal.

The Extreme Northern Lands were already sparsely populated, with far fewer people than the Central Continent, Buddha Country, Demon Territory, and East Sea, and it was difficult for even one Semi-Immortal to appear in a hundred thousand years, let alone an Immortal.

"Choose another wish, and I can make you a Semi-Immortal, grant you countless wealth, and teach you all the cultivation techniques and magic skills from the past to the present."

Grinding his teeth and persistently kowtowing, Xue Shilou said, "Saving Daoist Lu is my only wish!"

The Snow Emperor found himself in a difficult position; this was the first time his expression changed, as tradition dictated that he must satisfy one wish of the trialist.

But the problem was he truly couldn’t defeat an Immortal.

"If you really want to save someone, there is, in fact, a way."

Xue Shilou looked up in surprise; the Snow Emperor did have a method.

"It is customary for the Snow Emperor to fulfill one wish of the trialist, and if you have no objections, I can relinquish the position of Snow Emperor to you right now for you to fulfill your own wish."

Xue Shilou: "..."

Seeing Xue Shilou’s disappointment, the Snow Emperor said with heartfelt emotion, "Our Snow Emperor Lineage is destined to become Semi-Immortals with a lifespan of a hundred thousand years. In that time, we will make countless friends and witness many old friends pass on; your friend’s fall is but the inescapable destiny of friends of the Snow Emperor Lineage, and you must learn to accept it."

In his heart, the Snow Emperor added one more thought: unless the Ancient Immortal who bestowed upon him the Dao Fruit Outline intervenes.

With that in mind, he unconsciously touched the wordless white jade token on his chest.

But that was impossible.

Loud sounds of Self-Detonation once again echoed across the sky, attracting the Snow Emperor’s attention.

Pierced by ribs and nailed in this space, Lu Yang had once again escaped through Self-Detonation, stunning even The Controller, who could no longer sit still.

For a junior to use the same method to escape repeatedly right under his watch was one thing, but what was key was that this junior, after leaving the cage, just stood there beside it, without any intention to flee far!

It was a blatant disregard for him!

"Ghost Kings Invasion."

Thick smoke rose from the Bone Staff, each wisp manifesting as an incarnation of the King of Ghosts. Ten thousand ghosts swept across the sky, obscuring the sun, devouring every trace of Spiritual Energy in their path.

The Great Qian Dynasty practiced human sacrifice, offering humans to the divine, the nation, and the heavens. The great Qian Cultivators were never short of ghosts and other wicked beings; if there were none, they would simply create them.

The Snow Emperor shook his head, pitying the junior. It would not be just the junior who might die or be injured if he went up but even himself.

The wordless white jade token on his chest shook, inquiring the Snow Emperor about the events occurring outside.

The Snow Emperor relayed without missing a word what he had witnessed to the supreme being residing within the white jade token.

To his surprise, the supreme being’s reaction was incredibly intense.

"Immortal, those are Immortal moves; what is that youth’s relationship with Immortality!"

"This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, that youth must be related to Immortality; we cannot let anything happen to him here!"

"But once we leave this place, it will bring calamity..."

"Scared of bloody what!"

Before the Snow Emperor could even respond, a beam of Immortal light shot out from the white jade token toward the sky, leaving the flabbergasted Snow Emperor behind.

"How is this possible, he has never made a move for three hundred thousand years!"

An Immortal suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yang, with a speed so fast it was almost instantaneous.

Facing the ferocious approach of tens of thousands of ghastly Ghost Kings, the Immortal stood upon the Tai Chi Diagram, the Power of the Supreme Yang surging forth, burning away everything in the world, rendering the Sun dull and colorless in this moment.

"Get lost, all of you!"

No matter what the cultivation level of the King of Ghosts had been in life, or the type of devouring intent The Controller overlaid upon them, before the Power of the Supreme Yang, they all ignited in self-detonation and in the blink of an eye, were reduced to ash and smoke!

𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The Immortal, dressed in coarse cloth, unkempt and looking like a savage who had walked out of a cave from ancient times, was filled with wildness.

The moment The Controller saw the Immortal, he braced himself as if facing a great enemy, slowly pronouncing the other’s title.

"Immortal Jiuchong!"

Upon hearing The Controller announce the name of Immortal Jiuchong, the area below Muxue City was thrown into an uproar.

"Immortal Jiuchong?! Is it the legendary first Immortal Jiuchong who became immortal?"

"Who else would dare to carry that title!"

"Good heavens, even the Immortal Jiuchong has appeared!"

Immortal Jiuchong turned his head and glanced at The Controller, "The Controller of Great Qian? You can get lost too! I’m not in the mood to deal with you!"

"Boy, where did you learn this self-detonation trick, and what is your relationship with Immortal Fairy Eternity!"

"Jiuchong?" Immortal Fairy Eternity didn’t expect Immortal Jiuchong to suddenly appear here.

Immortal Jiuchong was stunned, looking at Immortal Fairy Eternity in shock, "That tone... it’s you, Immortal Fairy Eternity! How did you come back to life?"

"Not now, it’s not the time to talk about this. I can’t stay in the outside world for too long, Silent Extermination Immortal will be looking for me..."

"You’re talking about Silent Extermination Immortal? She’s already dead."

"What?" First Immortal Fairy Eternity’s revival, then Silent Extermination Immortal’s demise, one piece of good news after another left Immortal Jiuchong unable to react at once.

"God Demon Seven Killings!" The Controller launched seven tokens, a Soul Stabilization Technique which could immobilize the opponent’s three souls and seven spirits, rendering them unable to move and at the mercy of others.

"Hey, you’re really annoying. Immortal Fairy Eternity, wait for me to deal with him, then we can talk!"

Immortal Jiuchong turned away impatiently, focusing his attention on The Controller.

With a flip of his hands, he held a small sun in his left hand, symbolizing the Supreme Yang, and a blood-stained full moon in his right, emitting Yin Energy. He clutched the sun and moon, and smashed them directly towards The Controller!

The Controller didn’t react in time at first, and only when he realized what Immortal Jiuchong was doing did he raise his Bone Staff to block the sun and moon.

The ancient records did not describe Immortal Jiuchong’s combat as close-quarter brawling.

Snow Emperor watched Immortal Jiuchong battle in the sky, and other than shock, no other expression could be seen in his pupils.

"This is impossible!"

"May I ask what’s the matter?" asked Xue Shilou, puzzled.

Only then did Snow Emperor remember that Xue Shilou was still here.

"Since you’ve passed through the three rounds of trials, there’s no harm in telling you these matters."

"Our Snow Emperor Lineage has seen a total of six Snow Emperors, and you will be the seventh."

"Although the Extreme Northern Lands regard the Snow Emperor as their faith, in reality, the Snow Emperor’s true identity is that of an Envoy for Immortal Jiuchong."

"The Envoy for Immortal Jiuchong?"

"Yes, this was the agreement made between Immortal Jiuchong and the first-generation Snow Emperor. Immortal Jiuchong resides within this wordless white jade token, while the Snow Emperor wears the token and roams about the Extreme Northern Lands collecting information from the outside world."

"And Immortal Jiuchong grants the inheritors of each generation of Snow Emperors the outline of the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit, helping them become Semi-Immortals. I am no exception."

"According to the descriptions by past Snow Emperors, in the past 300,000 years, Immortal Jiuchong has never once left the white jade token. Today, for some unknown reason, he has actually left the token and come to the outside world!"

Snow Emperor thought Xue Shilou’s wish to save Lu Yang was already outrageous, but never would he have expected Immortal Jiuchong to actually go and save Lu Yang!

"Fairy, what are you thinking about?" Lu Yang regained control of his body and noticed that the Fairy was deeply pondering something.

"Immortal Jiuchong wasn’t this kind of personality before; his manner of fighting wasn’t this unrestrained."
