The next moment, the pressure around the man in purple robes loosened, and he discovered that he could actually move again.
"You may go," Monk Dazhi said.
"You're not killing me?" The man in purple robes still found it unreal.
"You're really letting me go?" he asked.
"I said I'd let you go. I won't go back on my word." Monk Dazhi waved a hand.
The man in purple robes immediately ran down the snowy mountain without looking back.
Monk Dazhi turned, his gaze fixed on the distant cliff face of the snow mountain.
On the cliff, a pure white snow lotus was growing.
He stretched out his right hand. It actually extended dozens of meters, plucking the snow lotus directly from the cliff.
"Go back and treat your mother properly," Monk Dazhi said with a smile.
"Thank you, Dao Venerable!" The youth eagerly accepted the snow lotus and hurriedly thanked him.
A woven bamboo basket was strapped to his back.
He carefully placed the snow lotus into the basket, then asked Monk Dazhi, "Dao Venerable, are you heading up the mountain?"
Monk Dazhi shook his head slightly.
"It's currently the mountain-sealing period. The summit of Heavenly Decree Mountain cannot be reached," the youth hurriedly said.
"I only dared come up here to try because of my mother's illness. I didn't dare venture too deeply."
"Mountain sealing? Who sealed the mountain?" Xu Zimo asked.
"It wasn't done by anyone. Every year, Heavenly Decree Mountain enters a sealed state for a period of time," the youth explained.
"It is Heavenly Decree Mountain's own seal."
Xu Zimo glanced at Monk Dazhi and asked, "Didn't you say you knew everything?"
"Well, I don't really understand this either." Monk Dazhi smiled awkwardly.
"I only know that Yellow Kingdom once contended against Heaven's Will here.
