Chapter 1639 - 201: Fire and Snow

Chapter 1639: Chapter 201: Fire and Snow

Karma Fire Cave Heaven.

Above the scorching sea of fire, suddenly a cold blizzard arrived.

In the past, no matter how fierce the snow fell from the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, it would always be blocked by the restrictions above Karma Fire Cave Heaven... but today is different, for the snow that fell was Paper Snow.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

The Paper Snow directly ignored the restrictions, passed through the Great Array, and fell onto the sea of flames.

Thus, in no time, the fiery sea changed from turbulent surging to solidified, with a thin layer of ice forming atop it.

This was truly a rare spectacle in a thousand years.

Who could have imagined that the Karma Fire, capable of burning all things, would be frozen by "Paper Snow"?

...

...

"Have you remembered all these Divine Skills?"

At the deepest part of Karma Fire Cave Heaven.

An elder and a youth sat cross-legged within the depths of the fire sea.

The Great Palace Master spoke gently, and not far ahead, Jiang Huang slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"Um..."

She let out a painful moan.

At this moment, Jiang Huang’s mind was chaotic, with no intention to respond. She tried to recall, organizing various memories within her Heart Lake.

After leaving Broken Buddha Cliff, Jiang Huang returned to the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, choosing to come to this Karma Fire Cave Heaven, entering seclusion to refine her Divine Soul.

It all seemed like it was just yesterday.

But this period of seclusion... turned out unexpectedly long...

Her Divine Soul traveled to an unknown void, practicing many Divine Skills and Magic.

And in the blink of an eye.

It seemed as though many years had passed.

"Great Palace Master..."

Jiang Huang rubbed her forehead, murmuring: "How long have I trained?"

The secret collection within her Divine Sea.

Had been excavated up to ninety percent!

If she were to comprehend it alone, it would take decades to finish...

"..."

To this, the Great Palace Master simply smiled.

"Divine Soul, my Divine Soul..."

Jiang Huang’s pupils contracted, her Divine Thought swept over her Heart Lake, finally realizing a crucial issue. The most critical task after descending into the sea of fire was to fuse away her Second Divine Soul.

The secret comprehensions of Divine Sea had finished.

Yet, the Second Divine Soul had not been removed!

No...

No, that’s not right...

Her comprehension of the "Divine Sea Secret Collection" was assisted by the Great Palace Master. Since he chose to help with the Divine Soul, how could he stand by idly?

Was the Second Divine Soul deliberately left by the Great Palace Master?

"Let it be."

The Great Palace Master spoke, his voice somewhat weary, yet tinged with faint gratification.

"Two souls are not a bad thing. Having more safeguards is always good."

Upon hearing this.

Jiang Huang’s expression became even more bewildered.

After returning to the Demon Country, her greatest reliance was the Great Palace Master... It was precisely for this reason she wished to fuse away her Second Divine Soul, to fully earn his approval.

What has transpired over these years?

Had the Great Palace Master changed his beliefs?

Even taking a step back, was there anyone more reliable than the Great Palace Master?

There was no time for more thought.

"Roar roar roar."

The Karma Fire Cave Heaven suddenly began to boil!

The Great Palace Master suddenly waved his sleeve, and at the bottom of the fire sea, vast Primordial Energy surged, eventually condensing a [Star Gate].

"This hairpin is a good thing, remember, no matter what happens, hold onto it tightly."

The Great Palace Master looked earnestly into Jiang Huang’s eyes: "I send you away from the Heavenly Phoenix Palace... Next, you go find the ’Big Brother’ of the Da Chu Dynasty."

"...?"

Jiang Huang was thoroughly stunned.

After the Great Palace Master spoke.

He gently struck her forehead.

The two souls, after ten years of intense retreat and cultivation, had been completely separated...

With this gentle strike, the two Divine Souls swapped places instantly.

Jiang Huang closed her eyes, her head fell heavily backward, uncontrollably plunging into the [Star Gate].

The sea of fire instantly returned to tranquility.

The [Star Gate] dissipated.

The Great Palace Master exhaled impure air, standing up.

Not far away, Paper Snow gathered, and a figure in a snow-white cloak directly descended and appeared at the deepest part of Karma Fire Cave Heaven... Here lay the ancient forbidden land of Heavenly Phoenix Palace, also the Lifebound Cave Heaven of the Great Palace Master.

Yet all the Karma Fire could not draw near to him.

"In truth, you needn’t be so cautious."

The Paper Taoist in the snow-white cloak sighed helplessly, gazing at the vanishing [Star Gate], and said with a smile: "I bear no malice to that little girl... If you intend to send her to Da Sui Sword Palace to find Xie Xuanyi, I could even carry her along the way. After all, I am going to meet him anyway."

"..."

The Great Palace Master stared expressionlessly at him.

"Huang Jiu, truthfully, I admire you."

Lu Yuzhen spoke softly: "Over these ten years, had you chosen to practice alone... you might have entered the River of Destiny just like the Holy Emperor. You were already close to fulfilling the condition of ’Divine Travel’, only one step away. What a pity..."

What a pity...

The Great Palace Master chose another path.

At Green Moss Cliff of Fighting Holy Peak, he engaged in a conversation with the Holy Emperor, learning of the calamity that lay ahead in ten years.

At that time.

He made a decision.

Humans ultimately face death. Even reaching the Divine Travel Realm cannot evade the iron rule of Life and Death.

He chose to dedicate his "ten years of effort," entirely channeling it into Jiang Huang.

His Divine Skills, Magic, insights.

All had been gifted to Jiang Huang.

This was an exceptionally rich gift, more precious than the Holy Empress’s secret collection. Currently, though Jiang Huang is only at the Yin God Realm, this secret collection greatly enhances the likelihood of combining [Lotus] and [Karmic Fire]... The Great Palace Master acted thus to cultivate a Harmonizer in this righteous era.

Whether it’s Xie Xuanyi or Cui Zhen.

Harmonization...

They all experienced "Reincarnation."

However, Jiang Huang is different, she may have dual souls, yet has only lived one lifetime.

This is the most cherished hope the Great Palace Master has left for the Heavenly Phoenix Palace.

"Nothing to regret."

The Great Palace Master stated dispassionately: "I’ve simply done what I was supposed to do."

"I would prefer you spent these ten years in the Life and Death Gate."

Lu Yuzhen lowered his eyes regretfully and said: "In this era, you are the only ’Strongest’ still alive... Had these ten years not been wasted, today’s battle might have been more exhilarating."

"... Exhilarating?"

The Great Palace Master narrowed his eyes, finding intrigue in the notion.

Strongest.

Those three words, carry immense weight.

The Heavenly Dao collapses, Heavenly People perish... In this world, upon reaching this realm, one has achieved ultimate Perfection.

From the moment he became the "Strongest," he feared no enemy in this world, be it Zhao Chunyang or Xiao Yaozi, ultimately, they are enemies of the same realm.

In light of this, how could one be said to have wasted time?

Even special entities like Zhao Chunyang who comprehended the "Sword Origin," under the suppression of Heavenly Dao Rules, his erupting combat power remains quite limited.

"You should take a trip to the River of Destiny."

Lu Yuzhen advised sincerely: "To have never achieved Divine Travel in this life, what a great loss... Had you truly traveled to the River of Destiny, throughout these ten years, perhaps you would have made different choices."

While speaking.

The Daoist Master extended his palm, hand facing the sky.

Rumble——

Only to see, above Karma Fire Cave Heaven, countless Paper Snows descended, forming a vast snow-white pale sun.

The extreme heat of the Karma Fire, the extreme coldness of Paper Snow.

The clash of two Great Daos, bursting forth with black and white dual opposing brilliance!

Lu Yuzhen lowered his palm.

The great sun fell into the fire sea.

Billions of Tao Rules erupted turbulently, as if to grind the entire ancient forbidden land into ashes.
