“Shixiong?” Jian Yi’s voice already started shaking: “Shixiong, where are you?”
He yelled repeatedly several times, continuously. However, no one answered. There was only an echo in this spacious and empty wind and snow. Jian Yi practically went crazy from this echo. His voice gradually became hoarse before finally falling silent. Grinding his teeth viciously, he recklessly charged into the wind and snow.
However, that Cultivator Sun finally recovered and hastily stopped him: “Calm down! We can’t be separated as well!”
“Get lost!” Jian Yi was only engrossed in cursing as he struggled desperately, eyes red. He looked at the hand grabbing his elbow, itching to just bite down. However, the other man was a yuan gathering cultivator for many years. At the moment, he was determined to stop Jian Yi, so Jian Yi couldn’t break free in his panic at all.
At this moment, Cultivator Sun was also sweating profusely. Murong Feng sent him over. Her clear order was that Wen Xuan’s safety must come before everything else. Yet now Wen Xuan just disappeared out of nowhere. If something happened, he definitely would have to face the consequences.
Back to the main issue, how did Wen Xuan suddenly disappear? This was completely unreasonable. Three years ago, he walked through this place with a group of people countless times and has never encountered anything like this.
“Maybe he only lagged behind.” Cultivator Sun comforted, attempting to keep Jian Yi here.
These words practically made Jian Yi snort in disdain, clearly not believing it at all. If they were only separated for a short while, this could be a possibility. But he waited here for this long already, yet there’s no signs of Wen Xuan at all. Nevertheless, at the very least, he was a lot calmer than before. His hysteria had dissipated mostly, only his eyes remained red around the edges: “I’m going to find him. I must find him.”
“Don’t panic. The snow was huge just now. Maybe he only accidentally got lost.” Cultivator Sun said: “You head down the mountain first. I’ll go search for him.”
Saying this kind of completely useless comfort repeatedly was proof that Cultivator Sun was also panicking as well. When he thought about the punishment that he’ll be receiving from Murong Feng, he only felt his vision turn dark. There was no way he could maintain his previous high and mighty attitude at the moment. Right now he only wanted to persuade Jian Yi to head back. If something also happened to Jian Yi, he might as well end himself.
“He definitely didn’t get lost.” Jian Yi said: “Is it that female ghost?”
To be honest, if it were really that female ghost, Jian Yi would feel much better. Although he wasn’t 100% sure, he felt that the female ghost at least wouldn’t harm Wen Xuan.
“That female ghost isn’t this powerful.” Cultivator Sun said instead: “Don’t think about it anymore. Your cultivation doesn’t even compare to your shixiong’s. If something really happened to him, what can you do? It’s best if you go back and let me do the searching.”
As he said this, he dragged Jian Yi down the mountain.
However this time, taking advantage of Cultivator Sun’s distraction, Jian Yi actually really did bite down on his hand.

Cultivator Sun was in such pain that his entire face turned green. Jian Yi broke free immediately and, like a wisp of smoke, ran into the wind and snow and disappeared without a trace. Cultivator Sun was terrified and hastily followed to chase him.

As he ran wildly in the wind and snow, he used all of his strength to search. Good thing, in this desperate moment, he was omnipotent, as long as he was willing to pay the price.
Mysteriously and inexplicably, the entire world was answering his question.
But these answers only made him feel stunned. He couldn’t help but slow down to a stop. After a long time, he finally recovered and laughed at himself.
He raised his head and looked ahead. Then, he looked all around. Although that Cultivator Sun had followed him closely, he also got lost in the wind and snow. Right now, there was only Jian Yi here.
However, Jian Yi wasn’t nervous at all and only followed the road, walking silently.
That Cultivator Sun, however, had already lost his head in panic, staggering along the road searching for the two of them. Nevertheless, he couldn’t even find a strand of hair. He only wanted to bash his head against a wall. As he cried tearlessly, that piece of rock appeared before his eyes again. He abruptly saw someone leaning against the side of the rock.
It was Jian Yi.
Jian Yi had both hands placed on the ice cold ground, expression in agony, as he silently endured the price of peeking into the Will of the Heaven.
After a long while, he finally recovered. When he turned his head, he saw Cultivator Sun walking over and sighed: “Sure enough. No matter where we walk, we’ll always end up here.”
Because of his exceptionally calm response, for a second, Cultivator Sun thought he already found Wen Xuan. However, looking left and right, he only saw Jian Yi in the end.
“We can’t find him.” Jian Yi said: “The reason why we’d return here is because a certain power is continuously pushing us out. Right now, we can’t contend against this power. And the reason why shixiong didn’t return here is because… only he can enter.”
Speaking to this point, Jian Yi recalled his lack of control before and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
He should have remembered. What kind of place was this? This place belonged to Wen Xuan. Over here, the person with the least worry was Wen Xuan.
Meanwhile, at this moment, Wen Xuan has already walked quickly through the wind and snow by himself for a long time. He realized early on that he lost touch with the other two people and also attempted to find his way back. However, he was unsuccessful. In the end, he could only continue onward himself.
Then he discovered, this time was not the same as last time. He didn’t feel the cold air gradually lessen. He didn’t unwittingly head backwards midway. The cold air in the wind and snow has been gradually growing in strength. This time he was really advancing deeper into the mountain.
Wen Xuan didn’t know if he should be happy or worried by this development. He didn’t know how he managed to separate from the other two, but the success he was experiencing right now didn’t seem normal. He became 120% more vigilant.
As he walked further and further, the originally insignificant cold air finally became strong enough that even he couldn’t withstand it. He even activated his flying sword and let it fly around him continuously in order to decrease the cold air slightly.
However the strength of this cold air seemed limitless. After a while, even the divine sword made a groan, as if in extreme agony.
Wen Xuan rubbed his pretty much numbed arms, and endured with clenched teeth. His progress, however, became slower and slower. Every step caused him an enormous amount of strength.
Maybe it’s time to head back. Finally, these words unconsciously started appearing inside his heart.
But if he returned at this time, perhaps he’d once again encounter the issue before where no matter where he walked, he’d end up walking back. He didn’t know if he could obtain this opportunity again. That’s right. This was a one time opportunity. He must take advantage of it. However, while it was an opportunity, it was also a test.
Thinking this, Wen Xuan clenched his jaw and took another step forward.
However, after taking this step, the cold air that seeped into his body seemed to have reached a breaking point. It actually started to gather into a cold stream internally. In an instant, it flowed through all of his limbs and bones, so cold that even his heart was freezing.
Under this kind of circumstance, normally it wasn’t far from death.
Yet Wen Xuan still remained stubborn, refusing to give up. However, his head was so cold he couldn’t control himself. He was already seeing his life flash before his eyes and the regrets for things that he hasn’t accomplished yet. It should be known that just this morning, he was still feeling happy about being one step away from yuan gathering.
Yuan gathering…… yuan gathering!
As if a beam of light illuminated into his head, Wen Xuan abruptly remembered the cultivation method he was currently studying, recalling the section about how to break through to yuan gathering, recalling the feel of spiritual energy traveling through his body. In that moment, he pretty much subconsciously controlled the spiritual energy in his body and let it circulate to that schematic, just like how he attempted previously.
This kind of feeling was that single fortunate instant he needed. This kind of state was called ‘enlightenment.’
It’s almost as if his spiritual energy was attempting to circulate in a yuan gathering state. At the same time, the cold stream within his body was also pulled along and followed the spiritual energy’s path. Slowly, the spiritual energy in Wen Xuan’s body encased the cold stream and began to dissolve it.
In the moment between life and death, Wen Xuan was saved. So this danger could be resolved in this kind of fashion. What a hard to imagine thing.
Wen Xuan just let out a breath of relief when he encountered an unexpected shock. A thread of spiritual energy was buried in that cold stream. As the cold stream dissolved, he discovered that this spiritual energy didn’t belong to himself. Instead, it was mixed in the outside cold air.
What made Wen Xuan’s scalp turn numb was the fact that he was extremely familiar with this thread of spiritual energy. It belonged to his shifu, Chu Lian.
For a second, a great deal of questions rose like waves in his heart. But in the next second, these questions quieted one by one.
I see. Wen Xuan sighed quietly. So it’s like this. The person that blocked everyone from coming here was none other than Chu Lian. Perhaps he did it so that other people couldn’t find the demonic beast’s remains. Or maybe it’s for some other reason. In any case, Chu Lian was already Nascent Soul 50 years ago. If he wanted to do this kind of thing, it’d be an easy task for him.
Discovering the method to dissolve the cold stream in his body, Wen Xuan moved much faster than before. After exploring deeper, he discovered that something didn’t seem right.
Perhaps it’s because he was getting close to the center, the flow of cold air in the surroundings became much more apparent. There were traces of it in the air as if they were spiritual energy. With this trajectory, Wen Xuan can somewhat see the original cause of this phenomenon. It should be a magic array. However, Chu Lian shouldn’t have been able to create such a delicate and complicated magic array.
Meanwhile, as that cold stream dissolved further, Wen Xuan discovered another spiritual energy that was hidden even deeper within. This belonged to someone different than Chu Lian. A person that felt much warmer than Chu Lian.
Wen Xuan can roughly guess that person’s name, Ye ShengGe.
Looks like Ye ShengGe set up everything while Chu Lian helped insert spiritual energy into it.
At this time, the cold stream was completely dissolved by Wen Xuan. As long as he continued advancing, he might be able to find the source of this array. And perhaps his target, the remains of the demonic beast, was right there at the center as well.
Then he experienced enlightenment.
The paths that the cold stream flowed through deeply affected his mental state and seemed to completely complement the cultivation method he’s been studying. He studied these paths in an intoxicated trance and noticed that they reflected what he has learned before. In an instant, he learned quite a bit. Even that hard to describe blockage he felt before, which prevented him from becoming yuan gathering, seemed to have been trampled thoroughly by him somewhere along the way without even realizing.
The array that Ye ShengGe placed down. Why would it be so similar to the cultivation method he had learned?
Inexplicably, Wen Xuan seemed to have realized something.
I reached the end 😭
Thank you for translating though! Waiting for more!
Im so happy. Thank youuuuuu
So few answers so many questions
Thank you for the chapters !
Thank You for the chapter (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
I’m still confused about what happened. Head scratching
I think the cultivation method was left by YSG for WX
Para tentando processar
I have a theory. We learned about baby creation between male cultivators a few chapters ago, right? What If, Wen Xuan is Chu Lian’s and Ye ShenGe’s spiritual baby..??!!
Yeah and the fact that WX resembles YSG hmm
This would also explain why cl hates him if his birth resulted in ysg dying somehow. We know one has to lower their cultivation for the child to be born. It seems ysg sacrificed himself in this regard.
This is actually pretty accurate
