Chapter 160: Chapter 109: Don’t Mess with the Sickly Sweetheart (Subscribe, please!)
In the distance, the snow mountains, with their peaks and glaciers, seemed built amidst the Cloud Sea, snaking and sprawling over the earth like a slumbering ice dragon coiled here.
The snow mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, with one side never seeing sunlight all year round, except in summer, when the gods would grant the side closest to the heavens a hundred meters of the most brilliant sunlight.
Legend has it that the Heart-Clearing Four-Leaf Fruit is hidden deep within an icy cave, cold and deep, yet occasionally touched by a ray of sunlight.
Dark shadows covered the raging wind and snow, and even as night turned to morning, the bleakness, viscosity, and chill in the swirling storm did not dissipate.
In the wind and snow, ice crystals whirled like sharp sword blades, cutting through the air with a piercing sound masked by the howling.
The surroundings were wide open, yet pairs of sharp eyes flickered like stars, carrying a strange energy fluctuation that was neither Spiritual Power nor Demon Energy.
The cold wind brushed past the ears, mutant beasts surged forward and fell with a roar, adding an eerie blue and red hue to the piled snow.
On the boundless snowfields, only a shallow footprint was left on the snow, quickly covered by flowing snow.
Zhu Nanzhi’s cold and exquisite figure blended into the vast storm, with the water-blue Forget Love Taoist Skill swirling around her, guiding a clear path through the snowstorm.
She was alone.
Upon stepping onto the snowfield with Mu Qingyue, they had separated from each other.
It must have been the effect of the array here.
Zhu Nanzhi’s face showed no expression, nor did her heart stir, as she continued towards the mountain peak, guided by the snow depth and snow line.
She didn’t understand pharmacology, but before entering the snowfield, Mu Qingyue had informed her of where the Heart-Clearing Four-Leaf Fruit might grow.
Along the way, the mutant beasts living on the snowfield attacked the intruder without hesitation, but all became corpses buried in the snow.
The remaining mutant beasts hid within the storm, their sharp eyes secretly watching, waiting for the moment when the intruder showed signs of fatigue.
The higher she ascended, the faster and more majestic the flow of the Forget Love Dao Domain became, necessary to withstand the howling wind and snow.
While resisting the law of the Grotto Heaven that absorbed cultivators’ Spiritual Power, Zhu Nanzhi’s speed in advancing was not slow.
The rare exotic flowers and herbs on the snowfield gradually decreased, but more precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures appeared before Zhu Nanzhi’s eyes.
Zhu Nanzhi determined that she was moving in the right direction, yet her vision was also invaded by one daunting figure after another.
Neither human nor demon, but mutant beasts.
The rules of the Grotto Heaven were no different from the outside world, but the presence of mutant beasts was an anomaly.
Non-human, non-demon, the mutant beasts had robust physiques and could attack using the rules of their environment with ease.
Mobilizing the Law of Heaven and Earth was supposed to be a power possessed only by Immortals, yet mutant beasts could do it.
However, while they could, the power would not exceed the restrictions of the Grotto Heaven grade level.
Zhu Nanzhi looked up, and as she walked, she drew Zhan Ming once again.
The pure white clothes embroidered with blue cloud patterns flapped in the cold wind, her dark green hair flying as the tassels on her head jingled, and the petal-like silver and white earrings danced lightly.
Without her husband by her side, the Holy Daughter appeared ethereal and unworldly, like the coldest yet most illustrious moonlight in the deep night.
The chilling sword light hung alone like a dying sun, flashing bright and then fading in an instant, as the vast Forget Love Dao Domain unleashed a storm of snow, revealing the heavy rock and earth buried beneath.
Clang!
The sound of Zhan Ming returning to its sheath echoed as Zhu Nanzhi’s hem skirted over the snow-covered ground, and one by one, the mutant beasts fell with a thundering crash.
The blue-red blood did not freeze, merging into the snow and seeping into the ground.
Zhu Nanzhi’s Spiritual Power was depleting faster, but her heart remained unflustered.
Born with a Pristine Immortal Body, she hadn’t undergone Body Refinement, but her transparent physique allowed her to harbor Spiritual Power within her viscera.
Just like the Vigorous Force of body cultivators being stored in the organs and blood.
Therefore, even though Zhu Nanzhi, with her Innate Water Attribute Spiritual Power, could not replenish her Spiritual Power in the Grotto Heaven, the trait of the Pristine Immortal Body allowed her to remain unmoved.
With the unfolding of the Forget Love Dao Domain, Zhu Nanzhi’s heart was like still water, unaffected by outer objects.
Whoosh——
The cold wind howled, and the sky revealed a hint of light.
Zhu Nanzhi paused and looked up.
A streak of sunlight, a thread of moonlight descended, dispersing all the wind and snow, and a plain ancient city appeared before Zhu Nanzhi’s eyes, standing majestically.
Zhu Nanzhi gazed expressionlessly at the two ancient characters on the city gate: Hidden Life.
Qingmiao Palace, being among the most top-tier of the Five Sects and Seven Schools of the Human Clan, had an extensive collection of ancient books in the Library Pavilion, and she recalled her Master had once vaguely mentioned these two characters while teaching her to read and write.
Hidden Life is the name of a mountain.
There are three such mountains in total.
They are the most mysterious and ancient, only sparsely recorded in few ancient books, floating above the Nine Heavens, the three mountains.
Sun Suspended, Cloud Sky, Hidden Life.
To the Human Clan, the significance of these three ancient mountains was encapsulated in just two words: Upper Realm.
’Upper Realm?’
Zhu Nanzhi dismissed the thought that she had arrived in the Upper Realm, supposing that when the Yunding Continent formed a small Grotto Heaven world, it might have ’intentionally’ or ’accidentally’ drawn in a city from Hidden Life Mountain.
’But even for Hidden Life Mountain, an ancient city named with the words Hidden Life is extraordinary.’
In the blink of an eye, the sunlight and moonlight were covered by wind and snow again, yet the vision of the ancient city was even clearer to Zhu Nanzhi.
She stepped forward, taking a detour around the ancient city.
Zhu Nanzhi only wanted to quickly find the Heart-Clearing Four-Leaf Fruit for her husband.
