Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

"Then, I'll trouble you, young friend."

It can only be said that Chen Pi Asi truly lives up to his reputation as the longest-living member of the Nine Gates; he's utterly shameless. The two fat Wangs are practically huddling together for warmth. Hinata Hoshino, helpless, had brought people along; he couldn't just ignore them.

"Wood Release: The Four Pillars Family Technique".

Lush green branches, pushing aside the snow, formed wooden houses. Chen Pi Asi remained calm, much to the astonishment of Wu Xie and his companions, who had already witnessed Hyuga Hoshino's abilities. Not to mention Chen Pi Asi's three underlings.

Inside the house, everything was perfectly equipped, including branches formed from wood magic.

They gathered some food, started a fire, and felt the warmth from the flames; their expressions softened.

"Rumble"

As everyone opened the door, a torrent of snow rushed in, and the sudden avalanche made everyone's expressions tense.

Could this wooden house withstand such overwhelming force? There were no rocks or ice walls nearby. If they left the wooden house, they would most likely face an avalanche.

Chen Pi Asi's three henchmen and Wu Xie and the others closed the gate, looking tense, and stood behind the gate, intending to help resist the snow.

"Why are you just watching, young friend?"

"So, this avalanche was caused by me?"

"Of course not."

"Ah."

Chen Pi Asi simply hoped that Hinata Hoshino could withstand the avalanche, which was approaching.

Hinata Hoshino looked calmly at the fire, while Chen Pi Asi appeared calm on the surface, but his fingernails were already digging into his palms.

Looking at the entrance again, everyone was in a panic. The young man was expressionless, and Black Bear's expression changed from a playful smile to a blank one.

The two fat men sat facing each other with various expressions, while Wu Xie looked at Hinata Hoshino with hope.

The sound of heavy snow rolling down grew closer and closer. Chen Pi Asi unconsciously lowered his head and closed his eyes, while Ye Cheng wore a mask of pain on his face.

Ah, how delightful.

"Wood Release: Wood Wall".

Rows of wooden planks rose from the ground, surrounding the wooden house. Just as the defenses were completed, the accumulated snow crashed against the wooden walls.

A large amount of snow instantly buried the wooden wall. Chen Pi Asi felt the sound gradually subside and looked up to gaze at the sunlit star field.

He suspected that if he hadn't closed his eyes and lowered his head, Hyuga Hoshino might not have attacked. Who was this person? What kind of creature did Wu Erbai adopt?

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet."

Hinata Hoshino waved his hand to put away the wooden wall and spat out a fire dragon. The fire dragon circled the wooden house, and the surrounding snow was cleared to create an open space.

"Hey, young master, someone as kind as you wouldn't have wanted to just stand by and watch someone die, would you?"

"First, you shouldn't address me as 'Hey.' Second, I've never been kind."

Hei Xiazi approached with a playful expression, and Hinata Hoshino patted Wu Xie on the shoulder, signaling him to follow. Hinata Hoshino walked a short distance from the wooden house.

“Ah Xie, have you noticed that the stroke order for writing characters in the last century is different from that now?”

“Hoshino, I understand what you mean. Actually, I had guessed it long ago, but I didn’t dare to face it. Over the years, Uncle San’s personality has been changing. Neither of them has been in trouble. They are using the same identity.”

"Wu Xiaogou is quite intelligent. He can even guess Wu Jieyi's moves. I wonder if your third aunt, Chen Wenjin, can handle it."

"Ah! What a huge worm, no, what a huge centipede, no, what a huge centipede. I wonder how good it would be if I soaked it in alcohol, or if it would be very nourishing."

Before Hyuga Hoshino could say anything, a centipede burst out of the snow, its massive body lunging at Wu Xie.

The leader of the evil sect continues to perform consistently well today.

Centipede Dragon: The leader of an evil sect, Tie Tie.

Mr. Wu: Don't come any closer!

"Scorching Release: Scorching Flame Dragon"

"Hiss, crack crack."

The fiery dragon pounced on the centipede, opened its massive jaws, and swallowed it whole. The centipede seemed incapable of roaring, and was silently defeated. Only a jade bead gleaming white remained on the spot.

Hyuga Hoshino's chakra threads wrapped around the jade bead, and with a flick, the jade bead soared into the air. At that moment, another, larger centipede dragon bit the jade bead from the side.

"It's confirmed to be an inner core. Come here." With another burst of power, the jade bead was in hand. Having previously given Yin Nanfeng two scrolls, a small portion of the system space was freed up, allowing the jade bead to be successfully stored away.

Just as the duck that was about to be beak flew away, the giant centipede twisted its massive body in mid-air, forming a zigzag shape, and pounced on Wu Xie.

Wu Xie: ? I look delicious?

Having improved his taijutsu to the level of an elite Jonin, Hyuga Hoshino was finally able to withstand the backlash from opening the sixth gate of the Eight Gates.

"Eight Gates Formation - Sixth Gate - Open - Facing the Peacock".

Hyuga Hoshino leaped into the air and swung his fists rapidly. Countless fiery fist shadows struck the centipede's body evenly, like a turkey hitting a beef ball. The centipede's hard shell was covered with fist marks.

The inside of his body turned into dumpling filling. Hyuga Hoshino took a few deep breaths, and the soreness in his body disappeared. The rapid healing brought by the Zhang family's Qilin bloodline took effect.

It's alright. The sixth gate has almost no side effects. I don't know about the seventh gate; I wonder if I can handle it.

The young man jumped onto the head of the centipede's head, split open its shell, and picked out a jade bead.

"This is their inner core; it's non-toxic and can be eaten directly."

After saying that, he cut off one half and stuffed it into Wu Xie's mouth, while throwing the other half to Hyuga Hoshino.

Hinata Hoshino decisively ate half of it, felt a warmth in her body, and then nothing more happened. She winked at the guy.

"Your physical abilities are too strong, so your role is relatively small."

Chapter 34 Chen Pi A Si: Bring me a peach blossom, do you really think I, the Third Young Master, am the best?

Upon hearing the young man's words, Hyuga Hoshino took out another pill and swallowed it. A stronger warm current surged through him, and Hyuga Hoshino clearly felt an improvement in his physical abilities, although his taijutsu remained at the level of an elite Jonin.

It seems that to reach the level of a Shadow, one needs to improve their skills, not just their physical abilities.

Learning the remaining soft fist techniques and further studying the hard fist style should also be put on the agenda. As a man who uses the "hang" technique, one cannot have any weaknesses.

"What a huge centipede! I've really seen one today."

"This is a centipede, no, you're stealing Fatty's word again."

"However, such a large piece would be great for making medicinal liquor."

“Black Bear, you have a good appetite. Besides, this isn’t a centipede.”

"This is the hundred-legged dragon that the Dongxia people worship."

Chen Pi Asi circled the corpse of the centipede dragon, feeling somewhat tired. The centipede dragon's mouth was large enough to swallow two Chen Pi Asi.

It was evident that this centipede was enormous. Hinata Hoshino felt that it was not one of the two that the Dongxia people worshipped, but rather a descendant. Recalling the snake mother in the Snake Swamp mural, this thing was definitely not small.

It might even swallow a truck, huh? A truck? A giant snake? Sounds a bit like that ad.

Chen Pi Asi was quite interested. He took some minced centipede meat, put it in a tin box and boiled it. Chen Pi Asi took a bite and found it surprisingly good, very sweet.

Chen Pi Asi: This meat is incredibly delicious, you must try it! Send some to your master's wife. Wait, my master's wife has been gone for decades! My master's wife! How can I live without you!

Watching Chenpi Asi chew slowly, his eyes slightly red, Hinata Hoshino silently wrote a monologue for him in his mind.

How could you come to the snow mountain and not eat he luo noodles? Everyone was given a bowl of he luo noodles, topped with Kung Pao chicken. A rather strange combination, but the two fat guys were eating with lightning speed.

Chen Pi Asi looked at the steaming noodles that Hinata Hoshino and the others were eating and felt an urge to throw his chopsticks away. What am I eating?

Chenpi Asi: Bring me a peach blossom. Do you really think that I, the Third Young Master, can't use the Great River Sword Intent?

Seeing Chen Pi A Si's disapproving looks, the seven people ate even faster.

Chen Pi Asi and his three underlings could only eat dry rations, their teeth grinding together.

Chenpi Asi: This dry food is really hard, no, I'm just being stubborn.

After resting, we continued our journey, and five mountain peaks came into view.

Suddenly, Xiao Ge knelt down. Hyuga Hoshino pushed Wu Xie, and Wu Xie knelt down to Xiao Ge's right.

"First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, husband and wife bow to each other, then they are led into the bridal chamber."

Wu Xie and the others: ?

Brother: Don't sleep too soundly at night.

Hinata Hoshino chuckled mischievously and called out softly, "We're still in the snowy mountains; making too much noise could cause an avalanche."

As everyone knows, a wedding avalanche is considered unlucky.

Hu Bayi and Chen Pi Asi took out their compasses and began measuring the feng shui.

"To find the dragon vein, look at the winding mountains; each winding mountain is a barrier. If there are eight layers of danger at the gate, it will not go beyond the shape of Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams."

Hu Bayi quickly recited the incantation of the Dragon Seeking Technique at Hua Shao's pace. Chen Pi Asi sneered, "Young people are just young people. They even need to recite incantations to measure feng shui."

Then, Chen Pi Asi's inner thoughts could no longer be described as surprise, but on the surface he remained calm as still water.

Hu Bayi had finished the measurements and could roughly pinpoint the location of the dragon's head, while Chen Pi Asi hadn't even firmly grasped the compass yet. Somewhat skeptical, Chen Pi Asi double-checked, and there was nothing wrong.

Chen Pi Asi: This kid's got something. He's a lawless outlaw, and his reputation as Master Zhang is well-deserved.

Following Hu Bayi's guidance, the group set off for the snow-capped mountain.

Upon reaching a certain spot, Hu Bayi stopped and poked the snow with his toe. "This should be the dragon's head."

Chen Pi Asi was full of confidence, while Hu Bayi hesitated. The compass was correct, but judging from the direction of the mountain, the dragon head shouldn't be here.

Hyuga Hoshino looked down with his Byakugan and saw the Kunlun fetus, shaped like an infant, floating quietly above the palace.

Look closely at the Kunlun fetus; it's neither with a handle nor with a seam, it's flat. Interesting, are you looking down on it? You can't even define its gender.

Wang Zanghai: Whose sculpture is so detailed?

Marco Polo: Christianity.

Hyuga Hoshino waved his hand, and wind-style chakra erupted from his hand, bringing a strong wind that instantly blew away the accumulated snow.

Beneath the snow lies an ice surface, beneath which sits a lifelike Kunlun embryo.

"This is the Kunlun fetus? How is that possible? This is just a burial site. The real one must be in heaven."

Chen Pi Asi was startled. Wu Xie recalled the model he had seen in the underwater tomb. It really was hard to say.
