193: Earthly Immortal

"In this old man's opinion, this girl should be named Mu Qianqiu, embodying the Saint Ice Body and unifying the ages!"

"Then why not Mu Buxiu, meaning eternal and immortal? Wouldn't that be even more domineering?"

"Nonsense! What kind of girl is named Buxiu? It's horrible!"

"..."

On the back mountain of Saint Essence Sect, a group of old monsters blocked the entrance, arguing animatedly about naming the Sect Master's newborn daughter.

Inside the hall, Mu Yunxi held the infant in her arms, and a faint smile appeared on her face as she listened to the Elders' dispute outside.

"Water Immortal, what name do you think is good?"

A moment later, Mu Yunxi looked at Azure Water Immortal beside her and asked.

As her best friend and the secret instigator of everything, Azure Water Immortal had naturally arrived at Saint Essence Sect early to take care of Mu Yunxi as soon as there were signs of labor.

At this moment, hearing Mu Yunxi's question, Azure Water Immortal looked at the strange phenomena in the sky outside the window, pondered for a long while, and said:

"Snow falls across the sky, a phoenix dances in the nine heavens!"

"In my opinion, how about naming her Mu Xuehuang?"

Hearing Azure Water Immortal's words, Mu Yunxi's beautiful eyes lit up.

"Xuehuang, huh... That's a good name. But..."

"But what?"

Seeing Mu Yunxi hesitate, Azure Water Immortal also asked curiously.

"But... it would be better to name this child Lin Xuehuang," Mu Yunxi said softly.

"Lin Xuehuang?"

Outside the hall, the Elders, who were fiercely debating the child's name, suddenly fell silent upon hearing this.

After exchanging glances for a moment, some of the more astute old men seemed to understand something. They then widened their eyes sharply and gasped.

"Could it be that this child's father is..."

Someone opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he wisely closed it.

However, the fire of gossip in everyone's hearts burned fiercely at this moment... Upper Realm.

At the same time.

Lin Yang and Ji Kunchang had captured the two Palace Masters of Yan Shen Palace and were interrogating them about Nangong Xueli's whereabouts.

Suddenly, Lin Yang felt something and looked in the direction of the Lower Realm.

However, with the obstruction of the realm barrier, he couldn't see anything.

But vaguely, he felt something in the Lower Realm was calling to him.

It was a strange feeling of Bloodline connection.

Just as Lin Yang was wondering, Ji Kunchang had already planted a pupil mark within Yuan Mo and Baishan using the power of his Heavy Pupils.

"Now, take us to the ancient ruin you mentioned. If my sister-in-law isn't there when we arrive, hmph hmph, you know the consequences!" Ji Kunchang sneered.

If the two didn't behave, a single thought from him could unleash the power of the Heavy Pupils within their bodies, instantly killing them.

Thus, under the threat of death, Yuan Mo and Baishan completely resigned themselves to their fate and could only obediently get up and lead the way, taking Lin Yang and his group to the location of the ancient ruin that the Grand Elder had previously reported.

Whoosh!

With the speed of their Emperor Realm Cultivation, as long as there were definite spatial coordinates, distance was naturally not an issue.

Therefore, under the guidance of Yuan Mo and Baishan, approximately an incense stick's time later, Lin Yang and his group arrived at the place where the Yan Shen Palace Grand Elder had last found Nangong Xueli's tracks.

"Barrier!?"

As soon as Lin Yang and the others appeared, they were stunned by the sight before them.

What appeared before them was a huge canyon covered by an ancient barrier densely covered with runes.

The barrier on the canyon was filled with Immortal Light, transforming into nine white-scaled pythons that roamed upon it, creating an astonishing and shocking phenomenon.

Within that barrier, at the bottom of the canyon, a stone staircase leading underground faintly appeared.

"It's actually a barrier similar to the Demon Immortal Tomb in the Lower Realm..."

Lin Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling an indescribable pressure from the barrier before him.

The barrier before him bore some resemblance to the outer barrier of the Demon Immortal Tomb he had once seen, but the Immortal Dao pressure contained within it was dozens of times more terrifying than the Demon Immortal Tomb's barrier.

He feared that even with his full power, he would struggle to shake it.

"Are you sure that the spirit fire maiden you were pursuing was ultimately coerced by the Ancient Heaven-Devouring Python into this place?"

Lin Yang looked at the deep passage at the bottom of the barrier canyon, which led to an unknown destination, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"That's right, the Grand Elder tracked that spirit fire maiden here and personally watched her disappear into the canyon."

Yuan Mo and Baishan, surprised, quickly responded truthfully.

"Big Brother, this seems to be... the Earth Immortal Cave of one of the Ancient Immortals of the Upper Realm!"

Just then, Ji Kunchang's Heavy Pupils flickered. After staring at the barrier before him with a grave expression, he swallowed and said.

"Earth Immortal Cave... Who is Earth Immortal?" Lin Yang's eyes flickered slightly.

"Big Brother, Earth Immortal is not a person."

Ji Kunchang said: "The Earth Immortal's true form was a white-scaled python with a mutated Bloodline. Originally, the cultivation path of the snake race was to continuously transform their Bloodline, evolving towards the legendary True Dragon. And the Earth Immortal was the existence with the most hope of evolving into a True Dragon among the snake race of that era!"

"However, the Earth Immortal was arrogant, believing its innate Bloodline was no worse than a True Dragon's. Therefore, it abandoned the snake race's usual path of evolution, choosing to forge a new path and evolve its own Bloodline to the extreme."

"Ultimately, the Earth Immortal truly attained the Dao of longevity with a snake body, achieving an ancient Immortal position, on par with the True Dragon Bloodline! It thus shocked a great era and was revered by later generations as the Earth Immortal!"

Hearing Ji Kunchang's explanation, Lin Yang was also slightly surprised.

This was a truly Heaven-Defying figure who shook the past and present!

"If I'm not mistaken, according to legend, within the Earth Immortal Cave, there remains an Immortal Pill left behind by the Earth Immortal when it attained the Dao of longevity. Whoever obtains it can immediately shed their mortal coil, cleanse their Soul, and even have the opportunity to glimpse the Immortal Path to longevity!"

Bai Feifei spoke up, adding an important secret.

As a top Sacred Beast of the beast race, she also held deep admiration for the Earth Immortal, who had Heaven-Defyingly attained the Dao of longevity.

"So, that Ancient Heaven-Devouring Python coerced Nangong Xueli here for the Immortal Pill left by the Earth Immortal?"

Lin Yang frowned. This damned Heaven-Devouring Python, if it wanted an Immortal Pill, couldn't it come and get it itself?

What kind of business was it to kidnap his wife?

[Ding]

Just then, the System suddenly issued a red alert.

[Warning: Detecting a risk of cuckoldry for the host. Now providing two emergency response plans for the host.]

[Plan One: Stay put and wait for the Daughter of Destiny Nangong Xueli to become a heroic figure. The host will receive cuckoldry compensation: an Ancient Divine Beast, a Heaven-Devouring Python.]

[Plan Two...]

"Screw your heroic figure! Second brother, let's break this barrier! I'm going in to kill that python!"

Before the System could finish, Lin Yang instantly flew into a rage. Amos Bow in his hand erupted, continuously firing nine ice arrows.

"Boom boom boom––"

When the nine terrifyingly powerful arrows struck the Earth Immortal barrier, they suddenly exploded, scattering frost everywhere.

In contrast, the Earth Immortal barrier merely rippled slightly, remaining completely still.

"So sturdy!"

Lin Yang's pupils constricted. He then took out the other Supreme Emperor Weapon he had just acquired, the Yan Shen Mirror.

Boom!

The dual powers of ice and fire erupted, and the two Supreme Emperor Weapons unleashed their might together, causing the Void Realm in all directions to tremble, and spatial cracks extended for tens of thousands of miles.

However, when faced with the combined assault of the two Supreme Emperor Weapons, the Earth Immortal barrier only shook a little, its surface still completely intact.

"Big Brother, I'll help you!"

Although he didn't understand why Lin Yang suddenly went mad attacking the Earth Immortal barrier, as a good brother, Ji Kunchang immediately took out the yin-yang sundial without a word.

This was an Ancient Immortal Artifact, and if it were in perfect condition, its power would even surpass that of a Supreme Emperor Weapon.

However, it was currently damaged, and Ji Kunchang had only managed to repair a small part of it, still without a way to fully restore it.

But even so, with the enhancement of the Heavy Pupils' power, the yin-yang sundial erupted with power no less than a complete Supreme Emperor Weapon!
