Wonderland

Chapter 1655: Dawn of Hope
"Fellow Daoist Huang, where are you taking me?" Xiao Lin asked while flying in the sky.

"The Valley of the Ancient Saints." Huang Cui answered without hesitation, obviously with no intention of hiding anything.

Xiao Lin was stunned when he heard this. If he remembered correctly, the Ancient Sage Valley was one of the three forbidden areas in this snowy world. Huang Cui just finished talking about it and wanted to take him there. Isn't this contradictory?

As if she saw Xiao Lin's doubts, Huang Cui said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, there is no need to ask any more questions. Huang Cui will tell you the truth later."

Since Huang Cui said so, Xiao Lin suppressed his confusion and continued to fly away with her.

About half an hour later, Huang Cui pressed the escape light and fell into a small valley below.

Xiao Lin followed closely behind. The small valley below was very quiet and filled with a strong fairy spirit, but in his opinion, there was nothing special about it. It was obviously not the location of the Ancient Sage Valley.

After landing, Huang Cui walked towards the valley. When she reached the entrance of the valley, she opened her mouth and spurted out a beam of green light. As the green light shot out, ripples immediately appeared at the entrance of the valley. As the ripples passed, the scenery suddenly changed. It was a picturesque scene with mountains and clear waters. The valley was filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and next to a deep pool in the valley, a courtyard was built.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, let's go in." After saying that, and after Xiao Lin nodded, Huang Cui took the lead and walked inside.

The two came to the gate of the courtyard. Huang Cui waved her sleeves and the gate opened easily. Apparently, there was no prohibition on blessing here. Huang Cui led Xiao Lin through the courtyard and came to the main gate. Through the open main gate, Xiao Lin saw a woman in a light blue robe, sitting cross-legged with her back to the two of them.

In front of him was a statue. The statue looked very young and extremely handsome. Even Xiao Lin felt inferior to it.

As if sensing the arrival of the two people, a gentle female voice came out at this time: "Cui Er, who is this person? Why did you bring him to Ningxin Residence?"

"Mother, this is Fellow Daoist Xiao. Maybe he can help me accomplish that thing." Huang Cui led Xiao Lin into the main gate and spoke.

When Xiao Lin heard this, he suddenly realized that the woman in front of him should be one of the seventy-two maids of the Snow Lord, that is, Huang Cui's mother. Although her realm is higher than his, she has definitely not advanced to the Mahayana stage. So in Xiao Lin's opinion, she should be at the peak of tribulation, and has been stagnant at this level for many years.

The woman then slowly turned around, revealing a face that was more than thirty years old. Her beauty was yet somewhat weathered, and there were a few white hairs on her temples. It was obvious that her realm had stagnated for too long and she could not make any further progress. As her lifespan was consumed, the traces of time began to show on her body.

Immortal cultivators are actually the same as mortals. Although they have long lifespans, they are not immune to aging. It's just that their aging process is extremely prolonged. Ordinary mortals begin to show signs of old age in their forties or fifties, but for immortal cultivators, this process may last tens of thousands of years. Just like Xiao Lin, he is an immortal cultivator in the late stage of tribulation. He will not start to age like mortals until his long lifespan is more than halfway through, and even the aging process is extremely long.

"Xiao Lin, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist." Xiao Lin bowed towards the woman and spoke.

The woman in front of him had not yet advanced to the Mahayana stage, so according to the rules of the immortal cultivation world, Xiao Lin also addressed her as an equal.

"Please take a seat, Brother Xiao." The woman pointed to a few cushions not far away from her and spoke.

After Xiao Lin and Huang Cui sat down, the woman first looked at Xiao Lin, and then said: "My late husband's surname is Han, Daoist friend, you can call me Madam Han. Daoist friend Xiao was able to defeat the Snow Mane Cold Light Beast and enter the Snow World at the late stage of the Tribulation Realm. This shows that his magical powers are astonishing. You should know that even for a cultivator at the Mahayana stage, it is almost impossible to defeat the Snow Mane Cold Light Beast."

"Mrs. Han, you are too kind. Xiao Lin relied on a bit of luck, and he did not really defeat the Snow Mane Cold Light Beast. He only sealed it temporarily and took advantage of the gap to come here."

"In sealing the Snow-Maned Cold Light Beast, could it be that Brother Xiao comprehended the Space Rule, one of the three supreme rules?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Han's eyes lit up and an expression of surprise appeared on her face, and she asked.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin secretly felt regretful. He had not expected that this Madam Han in front of him could guess that what he had comprehended was the rules of space based on just a few words.

At this point, Xiao Lin could only nod in acknowledgment.

"I didn't expect that there are people who can really comprehend the rules of space. As for the three supreme rules, there are people in the world of immortals who have comprehended them. However, among those who have comprehended the three supreme rules, there are absolutely few who can elevate their realm to the Tribulation Period. As for people like Fellow Daoist Xiao who can advance to the late Tribulation Period, I'm afraid there will be no other person like him in the entire spiritual world." Madam Han said with a sigh.

Huang Cui next to her also had a shocked expression on her pretty face. The rules of space were one of the three legendary supreme rules. It was rare to be able to comprehend them, let alone be able to cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Stage. His comprehension of the rules of space must have reached the pinnacle. No wonder he was able to defeat the Snow Mane Cold Light Beast and enter the Snow World.

"Mrs. Han, you are too kind. Xiao Lin has reached his current level thanks to a bit of luck. It's not worth mentioning." Xiao Lin said modestly.

"It seems that Cui'er did not choose the wrong person. Cui'er, have you ever talked about that matter with Fellow Daoist Xiao?" Mrs. Han changed the subject and said.

"I haven't told Fellow Daoist Xiao the specific details yet, but Cui'er promised that as long as Fellow Daoist Xiao helps us complete this task, she will tell us the method to leave the snow world." Huang Cui answered truthfully.

Madam Han nodded, then looked at Xiao Lin, sighed softly and said, "This matter is of great importance. It concerns the stability and safety of our Snow World. On a larger scale, it concerns the existence of the Seventeen Spirit Worlds."

Xiao Lin's face changed, he didn't expect that what Huang Cui asked him to agree to was actually related to the survival of the spiritual world. This was too bizarre. As the young master of Mitian Palace, Xiao Lin's duty was to protect the safety of the human race and lead the human race in the spiritual world to develop in a better direction.

But if the spiritual world no longer exists, not only the human race, but even I myself would probably perish along with the spiritual world.

"Madam Han, isn't this person exaggerating too much? What kind of existence is it that can threaten the survival of the spirit world? In the spirit world, there are many races, but there are also many strong ones. If we really face such a situation, I'm afraid the entire spirit world will unite."

Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, Madam Han waved her hand and said, "Don't be nervous, Fellow Daoist Xiao. I'm not exaggerating. It's just that this matter is of great importance and it's not convenient to tell you for the time being."

"Mrs. Han, are you trying to make fun of me?" Xiao Lin said with an unhappy look on his face.

"No, when the time comes, Fellow Daoist Xiao will naturally know. In the entire Snow World, Elder Huang Feng's lineage has ulterior motives. He has coveted the position of Snow Lord for many years. Elder Huang Yun is stubborn and will not interfere unless there is definite evidence that the Snow World is facing a catastrophe. Among the 72 maids beside the Snow Lord, most of them are of low realms and their cultivation is not as good as Cui Er. Among the few remaining people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, they have long been infiltrated by Elder Huang Feng. Even for me, I don't know who is good and who is bad."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin immediately interrupted and said, "Madam Han, I am just an outsider who accidentally entered the Snow World. I have no ill intentions, so I don't want to get involved in your internal affairs. Apart from this matter, I can consider other matters."

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xiao. Cui'er asked for your help not to interfere in the internal struggle of the Snow World, but to ask you to help find an object. This treasure can save the life of the Snow Lord."

"What? Is the Snow Lord in danger?" Xiao Lin was stunned and said.

"To be honest, the Snow Lord has been poisoned by Tianji Powder, one of the Ten Deadly Poisons. His already aging body is now even worse. Even with the help of our Snow World's secret techniques, he can only last for a hundred years at most. After a hundred years, the Snow Lord's magic power will be exhausted, and the Five Decays of Heaven and Man will come upon him, and he will disappear into thin air."

As Mrs. Han spoke, her eyes were fixed on Xiao Lin, as if she was observing the changes in his expression.

"The Ten Death Poison? The Ten Death Poison is something that cannot be cured by any medicine in the world. If Master Xue is really poisoned by the Ten Death Poison, then he is doomed to die."

"No, although the Ten Death Poison is difficult to cure, especially in this spiritual world, there is almost no medicine that can cure it, but everything in the world is interdependent and mutually exclusive, and nothing is absolute. We, the Immortal Descendants, were brought to the lower world by the immortals, but we were not just treated as slaves. The first generation Snow Lord was a great doctor. Even if most of the essence was lost, he could still bring people back to life. That's why he knew how to cure the Ten Death Poison."

"Really?" Xiao Lin showed an excited expression when he heard it, which scared Mrs. Han and Huang Cui.

"Why is Brother Xiao so excited?" Mrs. Han asked with some confusion.

"Madam just said that even if most of the essence is lost, it can still be restored to life?" Xiao Lin looked at Madam Han and asked.

"Yes, I just said that, and our first generation Snow Lord does have this ability."

"My elder brother was seriously injured in a fight with someone in his early years. His essence was severely damaged and he can no longer recover on his own. I wonder if Madam has any way to save him. As long as Madam can do it, I am willing to agree to any conditions as long as I can do it."

"This"

After hearing this, Madam Han finally understood why Xiao Lin suddenly became excited. She asked, "Could it be that Daoist Xiao did not enter the snow world without a purpose? His real purpose is to find a way to rescue Daoist Xiao's elder brother?"

"That's true. I concealed it from you before. I hope you won't mind, Madam."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you have found the right person. My mother is the successor of the Snow Lord's medical skills. In this snowy world, the only person who can help Fellow Daoist Xiao is my mother."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin stood up and bowed respectfully to Madam Han, saying, "Xiao Lin begs Madam to lend a hand. I will do my best to repay this kindness one day."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down and we will talk."

After Xiao Lin sat down again, Madam Han said, "We cultivators have very strong repair abilities in our bodies. Normally, even if our internal organs are shattered, as long as they are not completely destroyed, they can gradually recover over a long period of time. There are only two situations where they cannot recover on their own."

After a pause, Madam Han continued, "One is that his soul was severely damaged; the other is to stimulate his own fighting power, forcefully open the longevity gate, and borrow the origin to enhance his magical powers."

"The Yuanshen carries the power of consciousness and the Yang Shen soul of the cultivator. It is protected by the power of consciousness. If it suffers a serious injury, it means that the soul is damaged. At the least, the consciousness will be disordered, and at the worst, it will become an idiot or even perish. The Shoumen is located deep between the eyebrows, hidden in the deepest part of the sea of ​​consciousness. It stores the original power of the cultivator. The original power is also the source of all the power of the cultivator, just like a river, which always has a source. The source can continuously produce trickles and flow out, so that the river can circulate over and over again without the worry of interruption."

"The gate of longevity of immortal cultivators usually won't be seriously damaged, because it is hidden in the deepest part of the sea of ​​consciousness and is protected by the primordial spirit. If the gate of longevity is attacked, it means that the primordial spirit of the immortal cultivator has been killed, so most of the origin has been lost. The only possibility is to forcibly use uncontrollable magical powers to stimulate potential and attack the enemy. However, when using the origin, most immortal cultivators aim to kill the most powerful enemy, so they will not control how much to use, but aim to kill or defeat the enemy. This will result in too much origin loss, which has caused them to lose the ability to reproduce, and thus unable to close the gate of longevity. The origin will gradually be lost until the life span is exhausted and they die."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, could you first tell me how your elder brother lost most of his essence?"

After hearing this, Xiao Lin felt even more hopeful. Madam Han was able to explain this hospital so clearly, which showed that she was quite knowledgeable about it. Perhaps the recovery of his elder brother Huan Tianmou really depended on this person.

Therefore, Xiao Lin did not hide anything and told the story of how Huan Tianmou fought with Hua Piaoluo and killed him at the cost of a large amount of his essence.

Of course, Xiao Lin also explained the ins and outs of this war, and how the human race, from being oppressed in ancient times to now occupying four regions and developing vigorously, was able to achieve this victory thanks to Huan Tianmou.

Xiao Lin spoke for two hours before he stopped.

Madam Han and Huang Cui actually listened silently for two hours without moving. After Xiao Lin finished speaking, they both showed expressions of reverence. It was obvious that they were also impressed by Huan Tianmou's selfless path.

At the same time, they were also shocked that there was such a powerful existence in the spiritual world, the Great Spiritual Lord. Even their Snow Lord had never reached this level.
