Treasure Hunting at the Jade Pool, the Temple on the Snowy Mountain
Western Regions
Kunlun Mountains.
A thousand miles of icy peaks, their snow-capped summits majestic.
This is an ancient sacred mountain, and also a Savage Wilderness and desolate place.
With a majestic and powerful cry, a huge and wondrous golden Immortal Bird descended from the sky, casting a black shadow over the sacred mountain.
Gao Yunyi atop the snow-capped mountain, his thin blue robe fluttering in the cold wind. The snow-covered peaks accentuated his solitary and ethereal figure.
It took five whole days to fly.
We finally arrived at the map indicated by the mission.
The speed is still too slow.
Gao Yunyi glanced at the Maybach Crane with disdain.
Once we get a flying Law Treasure, you'll be the first one we replace.
Maybach Crane was also aggrieved.
It has been flying at full speed, its wings are all raw from flapping, and it hasn't even had a sip of water yet.
Unexpectedly, the owner not only didn't feel sorry for it, but also disliked it.
The baby is feeling bitter and wants to cry.
sobs
The Marrow-Washing Jade Lotus is not located on this mountain peak.
Gao Yunyi chose to come here simply because of the good view.
Everything around,
Everything is laid out before your eyes, with nothing to be seen.
Based on the direction indicated by the mission objective
Gao Yunyi looked up and gazed into the distance.
Not far to the south lies a vast lake.
Right at the very bottom of this mountain peak.
This time, Gao Yunyi did not ride a crane, but his body instantly transformed into a stream of light, and in the next second, he was already in mid-air.
Like a banished immortal descended to earth,
Descending gracefully from the heavens.
The Maybach Cranes atop the mountain cried out, as if calling out to their master.
Master, don't you want me anymore?
Don't you want to ride me anymore?
But soon its cries stopped, as if it had received a command from its master. Then it spread its wings and soared into the sky, becoming a black dot that guarded and patrolled the heavens.
"Could this be the legendary Kunlun Jade Pool of Kunlun?"
Gao Yunyi stood on the edge of the ice pool, gazing at the vast and serene lake.
The lake was as still as a mirror, reflecting the cold clouds in the sky, with not a trace of human life in sight.
The only pity is,
There were no Nine Heavens maidens bathing in the Jade Pool.
Was it just that I arrived at the wrong time?
Or perhaps I should tame an Old Ox as my mount.
Of course, this is all a joke.
Gao Yunyi is a gentleman; he would never stoop to such despicable, shameless, and lewd acts as peeping at women bathing and stealing their clothes.
If you're going to look, look openly and honestly; if you're going to take, take openly and honestly.
This is what a real man should do.
Call out--
A powerful and domineering crimson Sword Qi swept out horizontally.
It shattered the hard ice layer, extinguishing the tranquility and silence of the area.
A long, narrow, and deep crack appeared on the surface of the ice pool, like a scar on a beautiful face, devoid of any beauty, but rather hideous and terrifying.
Gao Yunyi stepped into the lake.
The lake water was icy cold, as if it could freeze one's soul.
But Gao Yunyi felt nothing at all; not even his hair or clothes got wet.
After an unknown amount of time,
The calm water surface was once again rippled.
Gao Yunyi slowly stepped out of the water, his black hair as dry as ever, and his blue robe clean and free of mud.
But he didn't look well.
He searched the entire Jade Pool but could not find any trace of the Marrow-Washing Jade Lotus.
Task objectives
They've disappeared.
This is the first time this has happened.
It was sudden and unexpected.
Either the Marrow-Washing Jade Lotus hasn't grown yet, or someone else has already picked it.
Gao Yunyi was more inclined towards the latter.
This is because these are heavenly materials and earthly treasures refining Foundation Establishment Pills. Without hundreds or thousands of years of time, they are simply not qualified to become materials for Foundation Establishment Pills.
So who is it?
I impulsively picked the Marrow Marrow-Washing Jade Lotus.
So who is it again?
It hindered his path to immortality.
Gao Yunyi's aura was very low, and a terrifying power emanated from him, stirring up a sky full of ice and snow, as if even the white clouds in the sky were frightened and rolled back to avoid him.
Just then, a cry rang out from high above, as if conveying some kind of message to its owner.
Gao Yunyi looked up at the black dot in the sky.
He was slightly taken aback.
Unexpectedly, on this remote and uninhabited Kunlun Mountains,
There are still humans living here.
Somewhere in the Kunlun Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles.
Amidst the snow and ice, and the howling wind,
Countless people are struggling to move forward.
They were covered in dry, tough animal hides and dirty blankets, their hair was disheveled, their lips were cracked, and their exposed skin was red and stiff from the cold.
But these people seemed oblivious to everything.
Treading through leg-deep snow, braving the swirling blizzard, carrying stones and logs on their backs
Step by step, with a determined look in his eyes, he moved forward in one direction.
They were lowly slaves.
They also seemed like devout pilgrims.
Despite enduring oppression, enslavement, and suffering, they still possessed a heart of utmost reverence and sincerity.
Some people accidentally fell off steep and dangerous glacier cliffs, while others collapsed from hunger in the cold snow.
But this group of people did not offer any assistance, did not shout for help, and did not stop.
They didn't even give it a second glance.
These people were left to fall to their deaths off the glacier cliffs and freeze to death in the snow and ice.
Death seemed to be no pain to them.
It is a kind of liberation.
A form of conversion.
This road is paved with countless drops of blood and corpses.
At the end of the road stood a Divine Temple.
A towering structure atop a high mountain, amidst wind and snow.
A sacred and magnificent Divine Temple.
A young man dressed in a pure white brocade robe and wearing a fox fur cloak stood outside the Divine Temple, with a sheer cliff below him.
And behind him,
Standing there was a tall guard whose entire body was made of iron armor.
The guard was incredibly tall and strong, towering over the young man in front of him by a full half-body. On his back was a strange weapon that resembled neither a knife nor a sword, like a door panel, stained with dark brown bloodstains.
The thick, dark armor covering his entire body seemed to swallow even the sunlight, unable to gleam at all.
This is not a person, but more like a machine, a bloodthirsty, emotionless killing machine that kills without hesitation.
The young man just stood there.
It resembled a thousand-year-old snow lotus growing atop a high, icy mountain.
Aloof and cold, pure and noble.
It carries an aura of transcendence and detachment from the world.
It's enough to just catch a glimpse of it from afar.
This will give rise to feelings of awe, worship, piety, and reverence.
He is the Holy Son of this Divine Temple.
A divine physique bestowed upon her by birth.
He is destined to become a god.
This was told to him personally by the Grand Elder of the Divine Temple.
He has believed this without a doubt since he was a child.
He was born a god.
Naturally, one should be high above, looking down upon all things.
That's why he likes standing at the foot of this sheer cliff.
Looking down at the ordinary people and all living beings below.
Watching those lowly, filthy, and humble ants climb up the mountain step by step, then bow down and worship him as if he were a god.
These ants were content and satisfied just to have him glance at them.
But would the eyes of the gods ever fall upon these lowly, filthy, and insignificant ants?
They,
Do you even deserve it?
