Chapter 735 - 351: Guardian of the Divine Radiance Stone

The Cang Mountain stands majestic and towering, a divine mountain rising between heaven and earth.

You Su looked up, seeing the mountain summit shrouded in mist, with sunlight piercing through the clouds, making the snowy mountain a mysterious and spectacular fairyland.

"The Divine Radiance Stone is hidden here."

Chen Yi took a deep breath, his eyes filled with anticipation and determination. He had been waiting here for thirty years, just for this moment.

You Su felt slightly surprised, "Why did you come here?"

"Cang Mountain got its name because, in the past, approaching the Arctic Snowfield was a difficult task. This mysterious and beautiful snow mountain in the Arctic Snowfield naturally became a place of yearning for many. Later, people developed techniques to withstand the cold, and Cang Mountain was no longer so mysterious. Every time people ventured into the Arctic Snowfield, they would come to Cang Mountain to pray for safety on their journey. But the appearance of this blizzard once again hid Cang Mountain in the wind and snow, almost making it forgotten."

Chen Yi narrated these old stories as if they were precious memories.

"So, after you made a mistake back then, you tried to find this former Holy Mountain to atone, but unexpectedly discovered that they had hidden the Divine Radiance Stone here?" You Su tightened his grip on the Mo Song Sword, gathering all his spirit.

"Yes..." Chen Yi took a deep breath, "Perhaps it is fate’s joke that they hid my redemption in the very place I sought redemption."

...

Including You Su and the clan leader, there were a total of thirty-three people at the time of departure. Now, only twenty-four remained.

"The Snow Mulberry Flower rides the cold wind, the snowstorm will carry you far away." Chen Yi’s eyes swept over the remaining clansmen, "Xiao Wu, Xiao Fei, and Mr. Mu, the children are in your hands. Lead them behind Cang Mountain, follow the method I taught you to find the correct direction, and you will definitely make it through this blizzard."

The elder gave the final entrustment. In fact, naming these three people also had significance; the children and young people who left first were not those who moved the Divine Radiance Stone back then, simply put, they were clean people.

As for the remaining people, they had clearly made up their minds to follow You Su and Chen Yi for atonement.

The parting scene was inevitably sad, but it seemed the Xuesang Tribe was already prepared.

Xiao Lu had reddened eyes, as if tears would fall at any moment.

"Great God, will you come out?" The girl’s voice was heart-wrenching.

You Su smiled, snow piling on his long eyelashes:

"I won’t die here. Go quickly, don’t miss the opportunity."

Thus, the reluctant group began to split into two paths.

This departure didn’t make You Su feel sad; instead, he felt reassured. If Chen Yi was willing to send off the clansmen here, it proved that this path could truly lead out of the Arctic Snowfield.

Now, the team climbing the mountain was reduced to twelve people, all guilty ones from back then. Actually, You Su didn’t quite understand why these people without cultivation wanted to follow; if someone was guarding here, it must be a powerful warrior; these mortals would merely be like eggs hitting a rock.

But perhaps some people, in order to atone, really didn’t care about risking their lives.

You Su closely followed Chen Yi’s footsteps, cautiously advancing through the snow. Upon reaching the foot of Cang Mountain, he felt even more the sanctity of this Holy Mountain.

It didn’t have the shock-inspiring first impression of the Henggao Divine Mountain, in fact, it wasn’t particularly majestic or grand, but it inexplicably evoked a sense of reverence.

The snow mountain was steep, the snow packed deep; the clan leader and You Su walked at the forefront, paving the way for the ten people behind them.

Along the way, You Su discovered an interesting spot where strange plants grew. These plants were covered with thick ice and snow, yet they hadn’t perished, instead surviving tenaciously in the wind and snow.

He bent closer to a plant, discovering it resembled a pine tree, but lacked needles, only a straight trunk with some resin remaining on it.

"Xue Zhi Pine. In the Beiao Continent, it’s considered a very precious plant. Scrape off this resin to make women’s cosmetics to apply on the face; even in the ice and snow, the skin stays rosy and supple. You may break off some for a fair lady," the clan leader, closer to the destination, seemed to relax, like someone carrying a heavy stone finally finding relief.

You Su nodded slightly, not bothering with courtesy. Not wanting this trip to be in vain, he snapped off seven branches as trophies, while the others, seeing his actions, did not follow suit.

"This thing is so good, don’t you want it?"

"With the burden of atonement, how dare we take Cang Mountain’s gift?" Chen Yi’s response spoke to the hearts of the others.

You Su shook his head slightly and continued on the journey.

Soon, Chen Yi stopped again, then solemnly signaled everyone to silence and tread quietly.

You Su raised an eyebrow, surprised to have reached the destination so quickly.

The ascent had been so easy it was almost unbelievable, with no traps and no one hindering them.

Ahead was a huge cave, nearly four meters high. The cave was blocked by an equally enormous stone door.

The group approached cautiously, the stone door held no restriction technique, feeling just like an ordinary mountain door.

"Years ago, I saw someone push open the door and enter from here. Even from a distance, I was sure the Divine Radiance Stone was placed inside!" The clan leader became increasingly excited, "Luckily, I buried myself in the snow, so they didn’t find me! Thinking back now, it was the Sect helping me correct past wrongs!"
