Chapter 6, At the Summit of the Snowy Mountain
That ... ...
Lin Suqing let out a soft sigh: "The legend of this fish is so beautiful, it brings no worries and makes one forget their troubles. I never expected, however, that you would casually roast it here."
Is your esteemed self truly the legendary ruler beyond the realm of humanity—the primordial deity
At the summit of the snow-capped mountain lies a unique area where the aurora gathers regardless of day or night; the starlight isolates the wind and snow, as well as the brilliance of the sun and moon.
Starry sky, temple, mother
Confused
the divine light in one's mother's eyes at that moment
This matter will be clarified when I see my mother
Bang
She is just being polite
I have met Lord Cangxue
Unforeseen
Wu Wang squinted and smiled, stretching out his legs and leaning against the edge of the car frame
Come, have a taste
Suddenly, I find it hard to come up with a topic, as if I am experiencing the awkward phase of youth from a past life
Previously, I could only see my mother once every six months, and each reunion was quite brief
Ah, the disciple's estrangement from himself must have begun at that time
After a moment.
If the first person to discover this fish did not eat it, how could there be a legend of eating it without worry
Mother, I have come to introduce you!
Oh ho ho ho, junior apprentice, do you perhaps have feelings for me...
It is still the familiar voice, still the familiar tone
A guard hurriedly replied: "Young master, it has been three days."
A small building stands quietly under the starry sky
The sound of rushing wind came from above, and Wu Wang looked up to see the sky filled with stars, yet he felt that these stars appeared somewhat illusory
He said softly
It is ! ''
When he first saw this thing, he also thought it was a genetic mutation and was afraid to consume it; however, later on, he could not escape the universal law of irresistible attraction.
As Wu Wang just entered the door, before he had the chance to take in the simple arrangement of the wooden house, his own mother gently clapped her hands, and starlight, akin to fine dust, blossomed beneath their feet.
How could my own mother stand in the grand hall of the God of the Starry Sky
Wu Wang is not visiting his mother's residence for the first time, but this time his feelings are the most complicated.
It is now evident that this matter is certainly not simple
Lin Suqing's heart trembled incessantly, and she completely dared not raise her head to look directly at this being
His strange illness is such that even contact with his mother is not permissible; a mere touch causes him to faint
That is fine
With a slight roll of her eyes, Lin Su lightly surveyed the starlight that permeated the surroundings, her thoughts quite complex within her heart
So it is like this
No
Lin Suqing looked at the stove in front of her, as well as the spirit beast roasting on it, feeling a bit of a headache
Wu Wangdao: "Mother, she possesses cultivation and is not afraid of wind and snow; let her stay outside."
As they entered the realm of the Great Snow Mountain, two pure white snow eagles descended from the sky, their wingspan of thirty feet carrying Wu Wang and Lin Su swiftly towards the summit of the snow-capped mountain
Hoo.
Ba'er, come to my residence
Do you want a child
Lin Suqing let out a light hum: "I have long since practiced fasting, and... this spirit beast carries my beautiful memories from before, so I would not consume even a bit of it."
Mother is one of the Seven Day Festivals of Beiyedangdai, and she is also the guardian of our Xiongbao clan. Her lifespan is the same as that of ordinary people; how could she possibly be a deity
Wu Wang stretched lazily, as if nothing had happened just now, and said leisurely: "Prepare the vehicle, grab some food to eat on the way, and set off immediately to my mother's residence"
Wu Wang is experiencing genuine unease for the first time in this life in the vast wilderness
She hesitantly uttered a few words
Mother is now over 200 years old, and in the twelve years since giving birth to me, her appearance has never changed in the slightest.
The melodious sound of the piano floated by the ear, and the starry sky contained an enchanting mystery that made one reluctant to leave.
The Star Prayer Technique does not extend one's lifespan; even the strongest "Sun Sacrifice" only grants a lifespan of five to six hundred years. As for my grandmother, who is a Moon Sacrifice, she has already become exceedingly old
The end of the ancient wilderness was marked by a reshuffling of the forces of the primordial deities, with only the strongest few among them surviving to establish a new order in the universe
Lin Suqing was also unaware of what had gone awry within her, and she quietly asked, "Are you hungry?"
At this moment, Lin Suqing was also somewhat dazed, clearly still not having come to her senses from the earlier situation
I still need to go meditate and cultivate, Senior Sister, I will take my leave now, see you next year
Mother
The female cultivator, dressed in a flowing white robe and adorned with cloud-like hair ornaments, contentedly patted her slightly protruding abdomen, her eyes filled with remorse towards the small pile of bones before her
unease
The guards diligently stood watch over the giant wolf carriage, while also guarding the main entrances and exits to the snow-capped mountains
Mother, are you the Star God
Eh? It seems that something is not quite right
Younger generation Lin Suqing, I have met... I have met...
Behind him, Lin Su lightly imitated the gesture, gracefully descending from Xue Ying's back. The hem of her skirt fluttered, exuding a hint of an ethereal quality, but unfortunately, it was completely overshadowed by the goddess-like figure.
I have been consuming this thing for seven or eight years; although it is oddly shaped, it is not toxic.
What?
Soon, Lin Su gave up thinking and stood there in a daze, waiting for that young man to return
After a moment, she could not help but speak up: "Young Master, is your name Xiong Ba? I heard that fairy just now call you Ba Er, and your clan all has the surname Xiong"
How long have I been sitting
Lin Suqing immediately felt embarrassed and raised her hand to support her forehead, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to hide in
Senior sister, if in the future I am able to capture such a spirit beast, I will raise it in the lotus pond outside your door
How did you find the path to the Star Temple
Two spiritual beasts on the roasting stove, with three tails, four heads, and six legs, are indeed the spiritual beasts I have only seen in the classic texts of nature— the Joyful Fish of the Immortals
Looking up, the large tent's top was torn open, revealing a gaping hole, the lingering dense starlight, and the clear fear deep within, along with a slightly trembling body, all attested that the scene that had just occurred was not an illusion
My mother lives at the peak of the snow mountain, and bringing you here is to explain the origin of the human domain cultivation method, and if necessary, to let you take the blame. Wu Wang raised his chin towards the snow mountain, his tone remarkably casual. Usually, my father only returns to the royal court when my mother goes back for a reunion.
This is Wu Wang's first reaction after opening his eyes
Wu Wang smiled and said, "Just take a bite; I won't force you to have more than that."
The wooden door of the small building closed instantly, leaving Lin Su standing in the wind and snow in a state of disarray.
Kong Ba is the name given by his parents, which is overly domineering. Wu Wang glanced at his palm and said calmly, "I also have a self-assumed Dao title, Wu Wang. You may address me by my Dao title."
When he was six years old, his mother left the Wang Court and moved to live at the summit of this great snowy mountain; at that time, Wu Wang was told that his mother needed to focus on comprehending the deeper mysteries of the Star Prayer Technique and could not be disturbed by anyone
Lin Suqing nodded quite obediently, her expression highlighting the satisfaction of a girl who has just enjoyed a piece of melon.
The doubts and questions in his heart are not just a hundred times lighter than those of Lin Su.
He gazed at the dawn that was about to break in the east, as well as the snow-capped mountains that seemed to be not far ahead, slightly lost in thought
The female priest in front of the building revealed a hint of warm smile, her long dress of an unknown fabric gently swaying, and she let out a soft sigh, reproaching in a gentle tone:
According to ancient legends of Kitano, the God of the Starry Sky has long since fallen
I have not forgotten my worries either
Then... that will be fine
Did you forget while eating
Inside the small building, however, it was a different scene altogether
The guards responded in unison, and a commotion arose near the main tent
In a moment, this place transformed into a starry sky, with no walls, doors, or windows in sight, only a small wooden table and two closely placed cushions
Lin Suqing furrowed her brows as she pinched the leg of the spirit beast that Wu Wang had handed over with her fingertips, carefully bringing it to her lips and taking a bite with her eyes closed
Holding the book tightly, I found my junior disciple and spoke in the gentlest of tones
The life of this young master is truly extravagant
A resounding call pierced the tranquility of the starry sky, as two snow eagles landed smoothly, and Lin Su lightly yet nervously summoned her magical power
I certainly do not know how to return to the original state in three parts
At this moment, Lin Suqing finally dared to ask: "Young Master, aren't we going to see your mother? Why are you bringing me along?"
Come here quickly and let me see, have you grown taller recently
Lin Su cast a glance at the giant wolf riders flanking the chariot, her lips moved as she communicated through her mind, her eyes widened to their fullest, filled with brightness, as if she were asking a question like a thief:
As the young clan leader of the second-ranked clan in the Beiya comprehensive strength ranking and the youngest Great Star Festival in nearly ten thousand years, he has access to all aspects of the secrets of Beiya
This is too frightening
Could it be that the young master's mother is truly the rumored innate deity?
Wu Wangdao: "The title for mother during the Sun Festival in Beiye is Cangling Zhi Xue, and she is generally referred to as Lord Cangxue"
I had not realized it at the time
Wu Wang's response was quite decisive. After a moment of thought, he further explained:
Ah, it was a snowy afternoon
Disciple, look, in Beiye there are these peculiar spirit fish, with three tails, four heads, and six legs, yet their flesh is delicious, and consuming them poses no worry
Moreover, in Wu Wang's heart, the image of his mother, her eyes enveloped in divine light and her entire being radiating a chilling majesty, inevitably surfaced.
... ...
This is my newly hired tutor, a formidable practitioner from the human domain, whose cultivation has reached the mid-stage of Returning to Origin
The figure of my mother is no longer before me, only the gentle voice that lingers in my ears
A moment later
Lin Suqing hurriedly said: "No need, no need, I can just stand outside."
Young Master, a guard stepped forward to remind, "Lord Cangxue has just appeared and requests your presence at her residence"
Although I have not practiced fasting, I have at least cultivated the art of star invocation, which grants me the protection of stellar power
Hmph, this insufferable young master, why should she come here to stand in punishment? What purpose does her long journey serve?
Wu Wang jumped down from the Snow Eagle, surrounded by a few stars' brilliance, floating several dozen feet in the air, and asked in a tone as natural as possible:
Wu Wang scratched his head and leaned closer, maintaining a distance of three inches
Wu Wang raised his hand slightly, indicating that he did not wish to discuss further, and gazed quietly at the snow-capped mountains.
What are you thinking about?" Wu Wang casually asked.
"There is no need for formalities," Cang Xue replied softly, glancing up and down at Lin Suqing. "The wind and snow here are quite heavy; let us speak inside."
That figure stood before the building, the divine light around them having long since receded, yet they remained dignified and sacred, exuding a certain indescribable majesty
Lin Suqing twirled a slender finger around her hair, "It's quite ordinary, still bears the imposing presence of Xiong Ba."
Lin Suqing may lack insight, but Wu Wang, who has spent seven or eight years collecting various texts in Beiye, is well aware of the discrepancies within.
Cawーー
The territory of one's own clan can naturally be manipulated at will
By the time she regained her composure, she had already been pulled onto Wu Wang's carriage in a daze, racing towards the depths of the grassland under the brilliance of the two shimmering rivers of stars in the sky
It is a pity that I have already grown into a mature young man and can no longer act spoiled or indulge in childish behavior
Legends themselves possess no emotions or colors; they are merely interpreted as beautiful by those who perceive them
Wu Wang smiled lightly, merely everyday ingredients
Cang Xue gracefully knelt on a soft cushion, gently patting the space beside her, and spoke softly:
This is truly too dangerous; had it not been for your mother intervening in time, you would likely have... You really frightened me
Wu Wangxin's inner unease quietly dissipated, and she leaned forward with a chuckle.
