“Looking at the energy within my body, it is still quite stable. My current body quality is better than anyone else in the Xiantian realm, so as long as I nourish and train my External Chakra Meridian I can try to merge with my first earth vein. It seems like I’ll have to stay at this Water Fairy Lake for a little longer.”

Zong Shou took a look at Little Gold who was wrapped around his hand, smiling happily.

This little fellow had followed him underwater, all throughout clinging to his body and being trained by the whirlpool’s strength. It had even broken through to the 4th Grade a month earlier than him.

If it was other people stepping into the Xiantian Realm, their lifespans extending to two hundred years and their ability increasing by ten times would definitely leave them delighted.

Yet Zong Shou had already been through this process in his past life and was simply just repeating it. Although he was happy, it took no effort to suppress it.

Looking around, it was already past noon yet there were still no signs of the two sisters.

“Weird, it’s a few hours after lunch, have the two sisters left already? Ye Feihan didn’t mention anything about it yesterday.

The thought of the pair flashed across his mind and he couldn’t help but feel loss and regret. While originally he found the two girls to be boring and believed them to be disposable and meaningless to him, he found after talking and spending over three months with them to say he had no feelings toward them was a blatant lie.

He didn’t worry too much, though he did sigh regretfully, packing up his things and walking toward the shore.

After his extremely dangerous attempt at breaking through to the Xiantian Realm, he decided to give himself a day off to find Xue’er to celebrate with and then relax.

When one trained martial arts they should traditionally alternate training with relaxation as if one trained too hard, they would break sooner or later.

Due to the injury to his legs, he still couldn’t walk. Luckily, he had the help of the Wind Spirit Bone which let off a mechanical sound similar to that of a wooden puppet as he walked to the shore.

Just as he jumped onto the wooden raft, he had a sudden premonition and looked south. Aside from the breeze, all he could hear was the sound of weapons clashing.

“That’s weird, this situation doesn’t seem right. Why does it seem like there are people fighting there, isn’t that the direction where Feihan and Feishuang lived? Have they not left?”

During these few months, although Zong Shou didn’t take the initiative to ask he knew the situation of the pair like the back of his hand. He knew they were living on an island roughly thirty miles away from the Blackwater Pond, and that every day to get to him they had to row fifteen minutes on a boat.

Taking another look at the raft beneath his feet, Zong Shou hesitated. If he continued south he would step into the territory of the Blackwater Chill Serpent, and if things went wrong he might die.

Actually, it wasn’t his problem if the Ye Family sisters died as perhaps they were just sparring with real weapons and were incredibly immersed.

A thread of true qi pushed the raft forward and it traveled for several hundred feet before Zong Shou sighed, shaking his head and ordering the raft to turn and accelerate.

“Zong Shou, you really like to meddle in other people’s business! There are so many things in this world, can you really care about all of them? Why don’t you remember, you need to be more careful…”

Although he cursed himself, his eyes were filled with excitement.

Since breaking the Earth Gates and entering the Xiantian Realm, his heart had a hard time suppressing the desire to search for an opponent to face his sword, even a random weakling was fine.

Although he was acting as though he reached this decision after careful reflection and deliberation, the reality was he was just following his true nature. This was his heart’s wish, and there was no need for him to go against it.

When he activated the true energy the back of the raft started to spit out water as its speed climbed rapidly. He traveled for twenty miles and discovered that the water surface beyond consisted of ice chunks, and the temperature was at freezing point. He moved another mile forward and realized the wooden raft couldn’t continue, as everywhere there were thick pieces of floating ice and a mist of blue energy that was surging and rolling.

If Zong Shou’s thoughts were correct, the mist should be the cold toxin that the Blackwater Chill Serpent excreted from his body.

“They could choose to live anywhere in the Water Fairy Lake and they chose here, are they not afraid of accidents? In this place where nothing grows if one doesn’t freeze to death they would be poisoned, it’s no wonder they travel so far to bathe.”

Abandoning the wooden raft, Zong Shou controlled the Wind Traveling Spirit Bone to jump onto the shore, dashing into its depths.

To say that nothing could grow here wasn’t strictly true as while there were no living things on the pieces of floating ice, there were many trees on the island.

Though when Zong Shou glanced at them he frowned. The trees were a species that could only grow in extremely cold or poisonous areas, and a few of them would cause instant death if touched. The few beasts that he saw were similar, holding unique types of poisons in their bodies.

The Ye Family sisters could actually live here happily, what a strange pair.

He crossed the poisonous trees with much difficulty, to discover two familiar people surrounded by a few other people. The pair were stuck on an ice field, their faces green and white.

The protective items the two had were really strong, however. They sat facing one another, and in their palms was a hook jade-shaped box spinning like Taichi, releasing a strong repelling force that spread in all directions.

Ye Feishuang was really calm, her lips shaking and her eyes searching for an opportunity for survival. Ye Feihan’s face was ashen white, as though she was full of despair, a look of death and acceptance shining in her eyes.

Zong Shou guessed the state of the two, though he was astonished by the jade piece, staring at it for a few moments before observing the surroundings.

They were surrounded by a total of three people. One was a forty-year-old woman holding a red long whip, and another was a fifty-year-old, bald, cold and solemn man with a hook for a right arm. As expected the two of them were Xiantian, their auras weaker than Zong Yuan though similar to Mist Sword Xie Jun and Rage Sword Yun Tao.

The last one was a refined, middle-aged man dressed like a spirit master. He kept smiling at the two girls, his eyes burning bright, though not with perverted thoughts, preferring to instead lust over the treasure in their hands.

“Cough cough! Your mother as we expected has many treasures! Being at the Spirit Cultivation Stage and actually being able to give you these Grade Six Spirit Artifact Twin Jades to protect yourselves. Only, I want to see how long you can last with such a small amount of soul power…”

The one who spoke was the woman, a long whip suddenly appearing and stretching out for four hundred feet. It wrapped around the girls continuously and reached a height of twenty feet, like a giant snake coiling its body and slowly constricting its prey to forcefully destroy the repulsive force of the twin jades.

When the woman was halfway into her speech a kacha sound spread to her ears, startling her and making her look for the cause.

She saw Zong Shou, whose actions were stiff as he walked out from the poisonous forest. Walking on the snow his every step left a deep hole, slowly closing in from thousands of feet away.

The middle-aged woman was shocked, feeling a little confused about why a person would suddenly appear here. She soon relaxed and coldly laughed, “Where did such a wild kid come from, are you related to these two girls? You look handsome, but unfortunately you can’t cultivate due to not having any internal energy. All looks and no substance, what an idiot…”

Her expression suddenly changed smiling at the two sisters, “It is said that your mother didn’t have three thousand men in these thousand years, but she did have many guests! Are you sisters the same? Two women and one husband, this boy is indeed fortunate!”

When Zong Shou heard her words he couldn’t help but look at his own body weirdly. He had only digested twenty percent of the Lightning Phoenix Essence, and the seal he carved outside his body naturally hadn’t disappeared yet, which was why no energy leaked to the outside despite him being Xiantian.

Not revealing one’s strength was good, but no matter where he went others would see him as useless and trash which was naturally not a great feeling.

The Ye Family sisters also looked over, and when they heard what the woman said they shivered. Ye Feihan didn’t bother debating with herself, anxiously shouting toward Zong Shou, “Why did you come here? They are bad people who are willing to kill, why aren’t you running?”

Ye Feishuang didn’t say anything, the last bit of hope in her eyes had already disappeared.

Zong Shou laughed bitterly, this little brat really was dumb. Her saying that was the same as her telling the three foes that his relationship with the sisters wasn’t shallow.

The middle-aged woman was delighted by the discovery and signaled to her partner. The hook arm man understood, flashing behind Zong Shou to block his immediate escape route.

He didn’t attack though his face had adopted an evil and cold expression.

Ye Feishuang’s face turned ashen white, “Aunt Hai, aren’t you afraid my uncle will rush over if you attack us, do you really not want to live?

“Your uncle? If he really comes I accept my fate! Do you think I don’t know his current situation, where if he fails he will die?.”

The middle-aged woman laughed coldly and stared viciously at Ye Feishuang’s waist, “Even if in the future he wants to take revenge, I am not afraid! At most, we will just hide as to be able to obtain your mom’s life treasure is something I am willing to die for. Who knows, perhaps we might have a chance to enter the Ascended Realm and what will we have to fear then? Ah Zhe, kill that boy!”

The hook man responded accordingly, revealing his killing intent. Just as he waved his hook, a clear shout reverberated through the ice field.

“Don’t kill him! Forget it, I’ll come out. The three of you just want what I have right? Don’t drag him into it!”

Ye Feishuang suddenly stood up, the twin jades in slowly dimming. She stared with deadly intent at Zong Shou, giving him an apologetic yet furious expression, blaming him for showing up here and dragging down both her and her sister.

Zong Shou laughed helplessly, stretching his shoulders. He then pulled out his sword and casually waved it backward.

A glow of lightning exploded as a cold sword arc slashed across the sky like a crescent moon. When the sword light disappeared, a human head had been tossed up high into the air!
