Chapter 1644 - 206: Summit of the Snow Mountain

Chapter 1644: Chapter 206: Summit of the Snow Mountain

"How long will Master remain in closed-door cultivation this time..."

Duan Zhao gazed at the Lotus Forbidden Land, feeling a chill in his heart.

"Lu Yuzhen has already left the Heavenly Phoenix Palace."

"Is the next destination... the Sword Palace?"

Everyone was worried in their hearts.

However.

Apart from the Da Sui Sword Palace, Lu Yuzhen actually had another "destination."

Among the powerful cultivators of today.

Those who have reached the Perfect Realm, besides the Great Palace Master, Xie Xuanyi, there was another one...

Since the final battle of the Great Ape Mountain concluded ten years ago, "that one" has since receded into seclusion, reportedly residing deep within the Snow Mountain of the distant northern Demon Country, leading a peaceful and pure life.

For years, no one had seen him again.

...

...

The bright moon hung high, the wind and snow as vast as a tapestry.

Millions of talismans hung from the peak of the Snow Mountain, resembling a wheel, resonating with the sun and moon, exuding a vast aura.

All life within a radius of ten miles retreated.

A figure in a black robe sat alone at the peak of the Snow Mountain, supporting themselves with one hand, their expression lazy, leisurely drinking the fine wine from a wine gourd.

Ten miles away.

Figures stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up.

Ye Ling, Qilin Miaofa True Monarch, Ao Ying, Chu Lin...

Since the opening of the [Ancient Dragon Court].

Ten years had passed.

Though this "Holy Land" was small, its strength was immense.

In ten years, the cultivator with the lowest realm, "Ao Ying," was now at Yin God Great Perfection, just one step away from condensing the Dao Yang God!

In these ten years, Cui Zhen perfected the [Great Creation Technique], fully excavated the Divine Sea Secret Collection contained within the "Red Dragon Fortune," and inscribed it upon the cave walls...

[Ancient Dragon Court], no longer a mere legend.

With the Divine Sea Secret Collection.

Came the inheritance.

Yesterday.

Upon hearing the news from the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, Cui Zhen came to the peak of the Snow Mountain and personally set up this great array.

This great array, both a barrier and protection.

Once a strong cultivator takes action...

This area will fall.

"He’s here."

Suddenly, Qilin Miaofa True Monarch’s eyes narrowed, speaking softly.

They saw at the peak of the Snow Mountain, above the great moon.

A tear appeared in the void.

A flurry of paper snow fell from the fissure, descending upon the world, this paper snow different from the naturally falling snow... Whiter, colder.

Even those observing the battle from ten miles away.

Felt a chill.

The great moon hung high.

A Paperman Daoist Master clad in a wide white cloak stepped out from the void.

He slowly descended across from Cui Zhen.

"You’ve come quite late, indeed."

The handsome Great Demon spoke lazily, glancing at the snow-white figure hovering not far away.

"Apologies."

Lu Yuzhen said with an apologetic tone: "On a whim, I went to the Great Ape Mountain..."

"...?"

Cui Zhen slightly narrowed his eyes.

The Great Ape Mountain?

Had this Paperman Taoist gone to find the Saint Prince?

After the Nether Sea incident.

The Saint Prince successfully claimed the Holy Emperor’s Throne on "Corpse Mountain," and with the [Primordial Immortal Technique] sent by Xie Xuanyi over the years... the strength of this new young Holy Emperor, perhaps boosted by the Ancient World of Battle Saint Peak, might have reached the peak of the Eighth Heaven, even touching upon the threshold of the strongest.

If so.

The Saint Prince truly had the qualifications to battle Lu Yuzhen.

"Rest assured, the Great Ape Mountain is peaceful, nothing happened."

Lu Yuzhen smiled, seemingly seeing through Cui Zhen’s thoughts, and said calmly: "That little monkey... is still too young. Even with the support of the Ancient World of Battle Saint Peak, he still couldn’t break through the ’Heavenly Barrier’ of the strongest. For me, battles beneath the strongest hold no meaning."

He crossed the River of Destiny, arriving here.

In search of.

To find great creation and fortune in life and death, breakthroughs to celestial realms!

Not even the Great Palace Master could satisfy him.

The current Saint Prince... is even more inadequate.

However, the person before him was different.

"Mo Zhen. You shouldn’t have secluded yourself here."

The turn of phrase.

Lu Yuzhen expressed with a touch of regret.

He spoke similar words as he did with the Great Palace Master.

"If these ten years you hadn’t rested, but continued rigorous cultivation... in this battle now, you’d have at least a ten percent higher chance of winning."

The Paperman Daoist extended a finger, making a gesture.

"Oh?"

Cui Zhen seemed somewhat surprised: "Ten years of diligent cultivation... and only a ten percent higher chance of winning?"

"Ten percent, quite a lot."

Lu Yuzhen said seriously.

Though Cui Zhen had achieved Yin Yang Harmony... but was merely at the Eighth Heaven.

If not a "Harmonizer."

He wouldn’t have come here.

If Cui Zhen could cultivate to the Perfect Realm of his past life as a "Harmonizer" and battle him fiercely...

This battle would definitely satisfy him.

"I’m actually quite curious."

Cui Zhen paid no attention to Lu Yuzhen’s words.

He drank the last sip of wine from the wine gourd and smilingly asked: "How did you... manage to do it..."

"Hmm?"

Lu Yuzhen raised an eyebrow.

"Being chased in the River of Destiny by Zhao Chunyang, Xiao Yaozi, Zen Master."

Cui Zhen mused: "Not only did you not die, but you also survived to break through to the Ninth Heaven, reaching Perfection... If you truly wish to find a ’Strongest’ to battle, you should find them."

"..."

Lu Yuzhen fell into silence.

He seemed to be reminiscing, yet the recollection did not last long.

"Surviving from their hands, indeed, is quite difficult."

Lu Yuzhen grinned: "My ’luck’ has always been quite decent... Of course, it’s all because of it..."

Whoosh!

His broad sleeve swept the air.

A wisp of black Daoist Intent dispersed in the world.

Countless blanched paper snowflakes were tinted with a layer of Ink Intent in that moment.

"Daoist Brush?"

Cui Zhen stood up, expression intense.

A massive phantom shadow of a brush consolidated above Lu Yuzhen’s head, though not fully materialized, the layers of Ink Intent already enveloped a radius of ten miles. Cui Zhen had earlier marked the battlefield with talismans, and Lu Yuzhen adhered to its rules, sealing the battlefield with the [Daoist Brush]. At this moment, the entire battleground was shrouded in the dark Dao Intent.

This was nothing like the [Iron Curtain].

Even a great divine ability user like Qilin Miaofa True Monarch... their Divine Thought couldn’t penetrate the inky barrier.

To outsiders.

The world covered by talismans instantly turned black.

This was a battle between the strongest.

To even glimpse, one needed Yang God Perfection cultivation.

"Boom!"

Cui Zhen stood at the peak of the Snow Mountain.

In mere breaths, the world turned from a pale white to pitch black.

The Daoist Master unleashed his Dao Domain.

The Daoist Brush hung in the air, replacing the radiant moon.

Cui Zhen’s [Sun and Moon Wheel] began to tremble, the Yin-Yang Harmony Dao Intent started to fracture...

Since harmonization.

This Yin Yang Dao Domain had never sensed such overwhelming pressure.

"No wonder you can come and go freely."

The handsome Great Demon raised his head, observing the Paperman Daoist Master with genuine admiration.

"Turns out there truly is someone in this world who can simultaneously cultivate the Time Dao and the Path of Void..."
