Vol 20 Chapter 10 (1/2)
Book 20, Jindan Upgrade, Chapter 10 – Snowfiend
“What’s wrong?” Ji Ning immediately asked
Ienerally be able to withstand the loneliness of solitude The prisoners of Prisonworld 17, for example, had been trapped forsuicide in desspair Ehpeak, by comparison, had been trapped here a far shorter period of time
“Didn’t I tell you how I hpeak said
“Yes” Ning nodded
“Undero, I made my way past the sea yaksha and arrived here at this snowy island When I first arrived, there were no other Ehpeak said “On the other side of this island, there is another floating wooden bridge If you proceed past it, you’ll encounter Snowfiend”
“I was unable to defeat Snowfiend Fortunately, by relying on ed to escape and flee back to this snowy island,” Roughpeak said “Snowfiend pursued me all the way back to this location, but once I fled into the island itself, Snowfiend immediately halted the pursuit”
“Each tiainst Snowfiend, I was unable to win Thus, I have no choice but to remain here on this island”
“I thought that I would be safe here, but I didn’t expect that after being here for a thousand years, one of Snowfiend’s clones actually attacked the island” Roughpeak shook his head and sighed “Every since that day, roughly every thousand years, a clone of Snowfiend would come to the island to attack reater than it was before After a million years, the clones will be close to its true body in power”
Ning asked, puzzled, “Once every thousand years, with a gradual increase in power…is he doing this just to temper you, senior apprentice-brother?”
“This is indeed a forhpeak nodded “At first, the Snowfiend clones were fairly weak, and I was co theility techniques reached an extremely formidable level; even the clone that was comparable to Snowfiend at full power is unable to kill me”
“He’s not able to kill o past him either”
“And so, I’ve been trapped here on this island the entire time Over the course of many years, other Empyrean Gods have come to this island Some of them died to Snowfiend, while others made it to the next island So periods of tily powerful, they were unable to keep up and ended up dying”
“I’m the only one left!”
Ehed “In terms of power, ility Thanks to Snowfiend’s pressure, I’ve reached a level that I would never have dared iined I would reach”
“But what of it? Snowfiend continues to disturb ain He uses illusions, ambushes, assassination atteh “I’m here, all by myself, and I’m unable to improve any further at all I’m also unable to make it past Snowfiend…and I have to be wary of his attacks”
“Even if I’hpeak said
Ning nodded slowly
“Senior apprentice-brother Roughpeak,” Ning said solee place Based on what I’ve seen, it should be a world that was created by an ancient major power After we enter, ill be beset by a number of trials If we are unable to endure the trials, ill die If we can endure the treasures and even being allowed to leave”
“Is it possible that the major poho created Under us treasures then letting us leave?” Ning was puzzled
“He’s not as nice as you think” Roughpeak shook his head “The major poho created Undermoon Lake definitely had schemes of his own”
“Agreed nobody is as selfless as that” Ning agreed as well
To help train Eifted with treasures and allowed to leave…that was an act of utter selflessness Ning didn’t think that anybody would be that selfless There had to be a reason behind it all!
“Can it be that Buddha Jue at all, despite so hpeak asked
“Nothing” Ning shook his head “I askedsealed his lips, saying nothing about this place It doesn’t ata the Buddha was unable to convince Buddha Juee any information about Undermoon Lake”
Roughpeak frowned “How odd Why is Buddha Jue so completely closemouthed about this place?”
Buddha Jue refused to speak, but he also refused to prevent other E this place Still…no one could force him to speak
“Snowfiend’s continuously attempted to kill me In fact, he’s even chatted with me several times That’s why I’ve learned that there is only onewith treasures,” Roughpeak said
Ning immediately listened carefully
“The es, defeating all guardians The journey will see you go past a total of five islands Once you reach the fifth island, you’ll be able to depart in peace However, to date only Buddha Juehpeak said
“Five islands?” Ning was stunned
The snow-covered island the two of them were on was merely the very first island To reach the fifth island would be no easy feat
“Upon reaching the fifth island, you’d most likely learn what the creator of Underhpeak said
“Right” Ning nodded
In truth, Ning didn’t really care as to what that ancientWhat he cared about was Iceheart Pith and Iceheart Leaf
“Junior apprentice-brother, I’ve battled against Snowfiend for countless years, and I’ve also chatted with hi “He told me that there’s one other way to survive and leave”
