OMG! I Transmigrated into Four Books at the Same Time!-Chapter 442 - 418: Snow Mountain

"Qiong Yu, this is your first time here, you haven't seen such a peculiar place of trial, have you? How about you be the first to go in and have some fun?" The Golden Light Immortal Emperor suddenly said with a half-smile.

The first one to enter is the guinea pig. Although there's a chance to get the treasures earlier, the possibility of encountering deadly dangers is also much greater than for others.

But now, no one wants to be the first. Since Golden Light has spoken, everyone can't help but look forward to Qiong Yu's response expectantly.

They have yet to determine the true extent of Qiong Yu's cultivation.

If Qiong Yu is really willing to go first, it would naturally please everyone else.

Qiong Yu frowned slightly and spoke slowly, "This is my first time entering this place, and I am not too familiar with everything. How about Golden Light you go first, so I can observe."

Golden Light narrowed his eyes slightly, "I indeed would like to go, but my cultivation is too low; I'm afraid I won't be able to discover much. With Qiong Yu's profound cultivation, you will surely be able to pass in one go."

Qiong Yu snorted coldly, "Knowing that your cultivation is low, why are you so eager to enter the Secret Realm? You might as well stay in the Sect and roast sweet potatoes."

No one expected the usually gentle Qiong Yu to get pushed to the edge and have quite a hand in retorting.

Seeing Golden Light Immortal Emperor's face looking somewhat ugly, Chen Xuan suddenly spoke out of the blue, "Emperor Qiong Yu's cultivation is unfathomable, and my Master has had numerous experiences. How about this: the two of you enter together?"

Golden Light Immortal Emperor glanced at Chen Xuan sharply.

Chen Xuan, however, appeared very calm, and said, "I will enter with my Master as well. Entering sooner might not be such a bad thing. Isn't it said, whatever treasures found in the Secret Realm are to be kept by the individual?"

Golden Light Immortal Emperor frowned. He feared his disciple was lured by the various treasures that might exist.

However... to be the first ones to enter was too dangerous indeed. In the past, it was common to let those with lower cultivation be the guinea pigs to be sent to their deaths. After they died in various ways, the causes of death would be discerned, and they could naturally be avoided.

Shi Nian transmitted a secret message to Qiong Yu, and Qiong Yu's eyes moved decisively as he said, "Entering together is indeed a good idea. Since Chen Xuan is also going, then I will also bring one of my disciples. Little Hua, come forward."

Shi Nian pretended to be surprised and walked out leisurely.

"Me? Can I go too?" Shi Nian said, looking somewhat timid.

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes; he recognized this was Qiong Yu's disciple who spoke arrogantly!

Seeing that her cultivation was only at the Golden Immortal Realm, if she really were part of the first batch to enter, the chances were high that she'd end up as cannon fodder.

It seemed as though Qiong Yu was tired of this disciple and deliberately wanted to send her to her death.

As Qiong Yu agreed, under pressure, Golden Light could only concede as well.

Thus, the first group to enter was decided.

Emperor Wan Hua's eyes flickered slightly, but she did not stop them, saying with a smile, "Then we shall trouble the four of you."

Golden Light walked towards the snowy mountain with a dark face.

He released a strand of immortal power towards the barrier, and it was naturally absorbed into the barrier.

The other few did the same.

Inside the barrier.

Shi Nian raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had not felt anything while outside.

However, once inside, they appeared directly at the foot of the snowy mountain, and the soul-piercing cold hit them in the face.

Even Qiong Yu, who was at the Immortal Emperor Realm, couldn't help but shiver.

This kind of cold pierced the soul and could not be dispelled even with immortal power; it was truly terrifying.

"Master, I'm so cold." Shi Nian cried out and stepped forward, grabbing Qiong Yu's hand.

Qiong Yu felt a warm flow and the bone-chilling cold was dispelled instantly.

Qiong Yu was moved, but his expression remained cold, "Alright, focus on investigating. Once we get past this snowy mountain, the cold will naturally disappear."

Shi Nian complied but still shivered visibly.

The chill at the base of the mountain was still within a tolerable range for those at the Immortal Emperor Level.

Although it was slightly uncomfortable, neither Golden Light nor Chen Xuan showed any signs of weakness.

"Walk up the mountain," said Golden Light in a cold voice. "Based on past experiences, reaching the peak should allow us to pass."

Qiong Yu ignored him and took the lead in stepping forward.

Golden Light's expression was somewhat grim but swiftly followed.

It was only after they climbed some distance that everyone realized the base of the mountain was the most comfortable place; the higher they went, the more terrifying the chill became.

Golden Light even tried using a Magic Treasure to probe the way, but as soon as the treasure ascended, endless Gang Qi appeared in the air, directly grinding the Magic Treasure into fragments.

This made it clear that they were meant to walk step by step, and flying or other shortcuts were not permitted.

All along the way, Shi Nian held Qiong Yu's hand, who in fact didn't feel the cold, but seeing the expressions of Golden Light and Chen Xuan, she also pretended to show some discomfort.

As they climbed higher, the chill further manifested on the surface.

Frost began to form on their eyebrows and hair tips, and the internal cold was becoming unbearable.

A sense of alarm rose in Golden Light's heart.

The deeper into the Secret Realm, the greater the difficulty.

This area had been explored for ten thousand years, and every bit further the difficulty doubled.

This seemingly calm snow mountain hid untold dangers. Golden Light was starting to consider beating a retreat.

Just as he was about to say something.

Suddenly.

The snow beneath their feet came to life, churning and binding his feet on the spot.

The next moment.

A humming sound erupted.

Countless ice-blue bugs surged towards them.

The scene was quite spectacular, and Chen Xuan also felt a bit nervous: "System!"

The System lazily said, "Don't worry! I'm already prepared."

Chen Xuan then felt somewhat relieved but still put on a panicked facade.

As the swarm of insects attacked, Golden Light Immortal Emperor's face drastically changed. He forcefully broke free and lashed out at the flying insects with all his might.

Chen Xuan, feeling safe, attacked lazily.

His system chuckled slyly and took out a bottle of medicinal powder to dust on Chen Xuan.

This medicinal powder was meant to prevent Chen Xuan from getting hurt.

The little "System" waited just for this moment, took advantage of the opportunity, and with a gust of wind as the system scattered the powder, directed it onto Shi Nian and Qiong Yu instead.

System: "???"

Before it could warn Chen Xuan, the swarm of insects had already arrived.

Chen Xuan did not resist seriously, and the insects covered his entire body.

The next moment.

Chen Xuan's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but scream.

The flying bugs were actually gnawing at his flesh!

Only then did Chen Xuan start to resist fiercely, but it was somewhat late, his body was riddled with bloody holes, and the blood poured out, a truly miserable sight.

"System!" Chen Xuan roared in his mind: "What's the situation this time?"

The System, unusually sheepish, spoke hesitatingly: "A sudden gust of wind... The medicinal powder that was meant for you... just drifted away..."

As for where it drifted to, Chen Xuan, seeing Qiong Yu and Shi Nian untouched, instantly understood!

His face instantly turned ashen!

Just what was wrong with this system, making such low-level mistakes over and over again!
