Chapter 2445: Prison
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The snowstorm whipped around Yun Lintian, a relentless blizzard that seemed determined to bury him alive. He knew he couldn't push forward recklessly in his current condition.
The clash with the Snow Ape, though victorious, had left him drained and wounded. The chilling aura of this place hampered his recovery, making it difficult to replenish his divine energy.
He needed a respite, a place to gather his strength and assess his situation. Scanning the surroundings, his gaze fell upon a cluster of ice-covered boulders, forming a small, relatively sheltered alcove. It wasn't much, but it offered some protection from the biting wind and swirling snow.
Yun Lintian made his way toward the boulders, his steps heavy and labored. He settled down in the alcove, his back against the icy rock, his body shivering from the cold. He closed his eyes, focusing on his internal state.
His meridians were strained, his divine energy depleted. The chilling aura of this place seemed to cling to him, hindering his recovery. He circulated his cultivation technique, guiding the faint wisps of divine energy through his body, trying to coax them back to their full strength.
But progress was slow, agonizingly slow. The cold seeped into his bones, making his movements stiff and sluggish. He felt a deep weariness settle over him, a sense of exhaustion that went beyond physical fatigue.
He knew he couldn't stay there indefinitely. The snowstorm showed no signs of abating, and the longer he remained exposed to the elements, the weaker he would become. He needed to find more permanent shelter, a place where he could truly recover and plan his next move.
But for now, this small alcove would have to do. He closed his eyes again, focusing on his breathing, trying to calm his mind and conserve his energy.
Gui Xiao jumped down from Yun Lintian's shoulder and played with the snow next to him. Hei Shou hovered around Yun Lintian, seemingly looking around the place for any potential danger.
The wind howled around him, the snow piling up against the boulders. Yun Lintian remained unmoving, his body a still point in the raging storm. He was like a lone tree clinging to a mountainside, its roots digging deep into the earth, weathering the relentless onslaught of the elements.
The Moon symbol on his Divine Core lit up, silently transforming the surrounding chaotic energy into pure cold energy for Yun Lintian to absorb. The cold energy had become the main source for Yun Lintian to recover in this space.
At the same time, Yun Lintian discovered that he couldn't summon the Gate of Beyond Heaven here. Without a doubt, it must be an isolated space similar to the prison that Tantai Xue created.
Suddenly, Yun Lintian's eyes snapped open as he perceived movement from behind. Gui Xiao and Hei Shou seemed to notice it as well. They quickly came to his side and hopped onto his shoulders.
Yun Lintian activated the Eyes of Heaven, his vision piercing through the dense snowstorm. Soon, a humanoid figure appeared in his sight. It looked like a woman.
All of a sudden, the figure seemed to notice Yun Lintian's presence and rushed toward him at incredible speed.
Yun Lintian didn't retreat but held the Heaven Piercing Sword in his hand, preparing to fight. The figure arrived a few meters away from Yun Lintian. This was a woman in thick, furry clothes, covering her from head to toe. Her mesmerizing eyes stared at Yun Lintian in surprise.
"What crime did you commit?" she asked.
Yun Lintian frowned slightly and remained silent.
The woman seemed to understand something and said, "Oh? It seems you came here voluntarily. Are you perhaps believing in the rumor about the Ancient Ice Phoenix?"
"Who are you?" Yun Lintian asked.
"I'm Mu Zhi. I used to be a direct disciple of the Ice Phoenix Empress," the woman, Mu Zhi, responded. "Do you know that this place is a prison? You will never be able to leave again unless Her Majesty allows it."
"Yun Lintian," Yun Lintian said. He finally understood her first question. "A prison? What crime did you commit?"
"Nothing. I killed some trash that insulted my parents," Mu Zhi replied nonchalantly.
Yun Lintian took a deep look at her. He could see that she was at the peak level of the God Ascension Realm. However, her true strength should be greater than that.
"Did you kill the Snow Ape earlier?" Mu Zhi asked. "That is the guardian beast of this Snow Hail region. In the past, even a True God would die at its hands, but you actually managed to defeat it without a severe injury."
"Yes, I killed it," Yun Lintian responded calmly.
"Come with me," Mu Zhi said and walked away.
Yun Lintian hesitated briefly and followed her.
The two walked cautiously for three hours before arriving in front of a steep hill. Mu Zhi waved her hand, and a cave entrance appeared.
She didn't say anything and walked into the cave.
Yun Lintian activated the Eyes of Heaven to check the surroundings briefly before following her.
The moment he stepped into the cave, he was immediately greeted by a warm breeze. Yun Lintian could see a fireplace burning vigorously in the spacious hall ahead.
"You're back, Big Sister?" a youthful female voice called out.
Yun Lintian curiously looked at a young woman in her teens sitting next to the fireplace.
Mu Zhi took off her furry jacket, revealing her beautiful face. There was a scar from Primordial Decay on her white neck.
The young woman noticed Yun Lintian, and her eyes grew alert. "Big Sister?" she asked
uncertainly.
"It's fine. His name is Yun Lintian," Mu Zhi said and sat down beside the fireplace. She turned to Yun Lintian and said, "This is my younger sister, Mu Rong."
Yun Lintian nodded slightly and found a place to sit down.
"Hello, Brother Yun. You must be thirsty. Please take this." Mu Rong walked over with a cup
of hot water. Her innocent eyes flickered with curiosity as she looked at Gui Xiao and Hei Shou on Yun Lintian's shoulders.
"Many thanks," Yun Lintian took the cup of water from her and took a sip. He wasn't afraid of
any poison.
Mu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and gradually became relaxed. "Please feel free to stay
here."
Yun Lintian nodded gently and looked at Mu Zhi. "How much do you know about the Ancient Ice Phoenix?" he asked.
