Chapter 333: Evening Temple

This was a world covered in ice and snow. It was even more wintry outside of Radiance. The nearby mountains and rivers were wrapped in a silvery decoration.

“Feng Feiyun, where the hell are you going?” Su Xue followed Feiyun out of Radiance and continued farther and farther up north.

“I will go wherever I like, why do you care?” Feiyun smiled and continued faster without leaving a footprint in the snow.

Su Xue thought that he wouldn’t leave Radiance, or at least he would wait until after the auction. But now, they were several hundred miles away from the city and were continuing on an old passage towards the north.

It has been one day and one night with the speed only increasing. One step alone traveled a hundred meters, leaving only a shadow behind.

It became increasingly difficult for her to keep up as sweat ran down her forehead. However, Feiyun was still walking leisurely, fueling her anger even more.

They met many cultivators along the way. These spectators could only see a black and white shadow passing by. They thought that it must have been two supreme masters traveling.

Feiyun had also refined three more roots in the meantime. Now, 216 meridians have opened in his body. They acted as divine bridges that connected his dantian to the world. The connection between the two separate entities became increasingly natural.

At dawn on the second day, the violet shade rose on the cloud-filled horizon. Feiyun had crossed another white forest and reached the vast sacred lake.

Among the plains were two towering peaks reaching for the clouds like a dog’s canines. They were majestic and imposing. These two peaks, one to the east of the lake while the other west, have existed for a long time. They looked like two giants protecting the monument at the center of the lake.

At the top of the eastern peak named Dawn-Dusk was a temple with the same name. The western peak named Night-Day also had a shrine with the same name.

These two buildings were renowned in all of Trinity. Many wise sages of old would spend time in these temples. There were many monuments and ruins at the top of these peaks. The sages capable of leaving their names on the sacred monument also left their marks in these places.

Tonight was the lunar eclipse. Even though the auction back at Radiance had attracted many cultivators, there were still many of them in this place.

“Swoosh!” Feiyun soared like a bird as he stepped onto the steep cliff to reach the pinnacle of the Night-Day Peak.

This peak was eight thousand meters high and covered in snow. However, some special vegetation wasn’t afraid of the cold and continued to grow along the edge. Some branches with purple leaves and vines with red flowers could be found.

At the summit were many old trees that had grown for thousands of years. The wind blew away the snow that was covering them, revealing their green leaves. Despite the bleak temperature in this place, not all lives were lost.

There were many Buddha statues among these trees. They were carved from very hard metals. There must be at least several hundred of them that had been buried deep in the soil, so there was no chance of them being blown away by a storm.

With a pious expression, Feiyun walked above the three-foot-deep snow and could see the shrine further inside the forest. There was a touch of ancient vicissitude that touched his heart.

“The young overlords of the ten halls are tangled up in Radiance with the auction and can’t come tonight. The fight between the two great powers, I’m afraid, will be postponed.”

He could vaguely hear voices coming from the old shrine.

Feng Feiyun didn’t enter and instead walked around towards the peak. He stood next to the very edge and pushed his palm down. The surrounding clouds and mist dispersed, revealing the lake down below.

While looking down at the sacred monument towering at around one hundred meters, it looked just like a small stone emitting a faint shimmer.

“It is indeed mystical. It doesn’t look like a tablet from here and more like a round disk.”

One could only see the full picture of the monument while standing in a place as high as this.

Feiyun twirled his finger and felt that there were runes carved at the very top of the monument. However, a mysterious power obstructed his vision.

Meanwhile, Su Xue was leaning against an old tree with her sword in her embrace like always while staring at Feiyun in the distance. She could hear him mumbling to himself, but not the contents.

‘What the hell is this guy doing?’

Suddenly, a black shadow swept in front of her with extreme speed just like a ghost.

“Keke, meeting a beauty like you in this icy realm must be fate!” A teasing voice came about, but she couldn’t see the other person.

Nevertheless, she stood there proudly with her long, black hair fluttering in the wind like willow catkins. There was no emotion in her cold eyes as she uttered: “You want to die?”

“A strong temper too, just the way I like it. I haven’t slept with a woman in the snow just yet, who knows what it will feel like. Haha!” A cold breeze swept by from above the tree. A corpse hand came out from the trunk itself and grabbed Su Xue’s arm.
