423: Chapter 421: Returning to Morel, the System Finally Appears

After some journeying, Gu Shengge arrived at Molei Cliff once more.

He looked at Dao Monarch Ziyuan beside him; this old geezer seemed to have some means of controlling the wind and snow in the outer perimeter, so he would need to step up now.

"Master, years ago when I accidentally entered this place, the heavenly creation pagoda left me with a Seal, which allows me to gain the ability to control those Snow Beast Battle Puppets in the outer region. At the same time, I can also control the illusory Dao Realm of this area to avoid getting lost here."

Gu Shengge nodded slightly. This old fellow's authority in this area was quite significant; no wonder Xuan Ling Daoist and Hou Ying were hunting him, yet he managed to kill one of them in return.

After Dao Monarch Ziyuan's Divine Soul was brought under Gu Shengge's control, he became much more compliant, quickly passing the Seal and the Hand Sign for driving the Snow Beast Battle Puppets to Gu Shengge.

Gu Shengge's eyes narrowed slightly as he condensed the technique; it was the power of the Law belonging to the System lineage. He had devoured many Systems before, so he recognized it at a glance.

Stepping in here again, the black clouds grew denser, the heavy layers churning as if some entity were intentionally constructing a barrier to prevent him from entering.

Gu Shengge didn't care about that. He stepped into the air, Dao divine patterns blooming beneath his feet as he plummeted down. The heavy clouds were pierced, and he successfully reached the area where the wind and snow raged.

The taichu dao bell vibrated, sound waves spreading out to isolate the wind and snow, creating an absolute forbidden zone around Gu Shengge.

On his body, a hazy golden spiritual light flickered. Maintaining such high-intensity resistance against the wind and snow was a great drain on him.

Dao Monarch Ziyuan was somewhat worried: "Master, you have not yet comprehended the Perfection of the Dao. In this situation, I fear it will be difficult for you to withstand the impact of the wind and snow. If you maintain this state, it might be very disadvantageous for you."

Gu Shengge smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, I have my own plans."

The consumption here was indeed significant, but with the entire Taichu World as his foundation, this small amount of drain was truly nothing.

The wind and snow grew even fiercer. Following the Hand Sign Dao Monarch Ziyuan gave him, Gu Shengge directly summoned two Snow Beast Battle Puppets. These were combat Puppets comparable to Mahayana Realm experts, possessing extreme strength.

In this world of wind and snow, they had a massive advantage, basically remaining invincible.

Gu Shengge landed in the palm of one of the Snow Beast Battle Puppets, driving it to take him to where the heavenly creation pagoda was located.

Damn it, that piece of junk heavenly creation pagoda actually chose to teleport him away and cut off the return passage just to stop him from coming back to deal with it. Truly detestable!

With the protection of the Snow Beast Battle Puppets, Meng Suian only needed to simply maintain the protection of the taichu dao bell. After half a day's journey, they arrived at the location of the Underground Ice City.

"Boom!"

The Snow Beast Battle Puppet plummeted with a crash, bringing him once again to the front of the heavenly creation pagoda.

The massive commotion from the Snow Beast Battle Puppet's landing shook the vast city below. The heavenly creation pagoda standing at the center of the city radiated a dark light, and an extremely repulsive Mental Energy spread out, making one feel physically nauseous and suffering from a splitting headache.

Gu Shengge felt a wave of dizziness, as if he were about to faint. Dao Monarch Ziyuan beside him was no better; his recently recovered body fluctuated continuously, like melting snow and ice, steadily wasting away.

"Clang!"

The taichu dao bell vibrated, and the might of the Taichu Great World descended, solemn and heavy. The majestic power was like a giant peak standing firm; no matter what power the heavenly creation pagoda released, it could not budge Gu Shengge in the slightest.

Gu Shengge's gaze was gloomy, his eyes flashing with an eerie light. "Impudent! System, I know where you are. Get out here right now!"

With a furious shout, Gu Shengge stomped hard on the palm of the Snow Beast Battle Puppet and charged toward the distant heavenly creation pagoda.

The heavenly creation pagoda was very resistant to Meng Suian's approach. As Gu Shengge drew near, the Formation Patterns on the city flared, and in the next moment, an incredibly powerful Formation Cage was constructed.

Terrifying System Laws shuttled back and forth, weaving a giant net that isolated the entire city and barred Gu Shengge from entry.

Dao Monarch Ziyuan's expression was extremely solemn, his gaze toward Gu Shengge filled with fear and unease.

In his eyes, the System hidden within the heavenly creation pagoda should be omnipotent, with those in the Mahayana Realm being nothing more than ants before It.

Yet such an existence was not forcefully suppressing and killing Gu Shengge, but rather using a weak, almost helpless method to shut him out.

He felt a sense of melancholy, guessing that Gu Shengge must have even more powerful means that he hadn't used yet; otherwise, that mysterious System wouldn't be so wary of him.

Gu Shengge looked at the Formation barrier ahead, his eyes flashing with light. He had seen some of the Formation Patterns before; they were very similar to the Seal runes the System had given to Dao Monarch Ziyuan.

Gu Shengge could even use this segment of the System Law as a guide to gradually break through this Formation barrier.

A smile appeared on his face: "It seems this System has indeed reached the end of its rope. Even the Formations it releases were set up years ago, and it can't even erase the segments it gave you."

Gu Shengge began to crack the Formation. With Dao Monarch Ziyuan's Seal runes as a guide, the first barrier was quickly breached. The internal Formation Patterns gradually revealed themselves, and breaking them was now only a matter of time.

Divine light erupted from the heavenly creation pagoda. A deep blue System divine light bloomed from the top of the tower, crashing into the sky and violently colliding with the Formation dome. Dao divine patterns merged, and a pale blue humanoid phantom emerged.

"Ziyuan! How dare you betray me!"

Amidst the angry roar, a cold, dark gaze locked onto Dao Monarch Ziyuan.

Dao Monarch Ziyuan trembled, but thinking of Gu Shengge beside him, he stood firm and said dismissively, "Heh, what relation do I have with you? Back then, I happened to obtain your Seal runes by chance; your purpose was nothing more than to use me. Now that you are facing calamity, do you dare blame me?"

"Ingrate! Without my help, you would have died under Molei Cliff years ago. How could you have your current cultivation Realm!"

Gu Shengge took a step forward and raised his hand to interrupt the System phantom's tirade: "Hold on. He's with me now. You have one choice: open the Formation barrier immediately and wait for me to come in and find you, or I'll break the Formation barrier and drag you out! But if it comes to that, you certainly won't have a good end."

The System phantom's energy body shook. After a moment of silence, it said disdainfully, "Heh, do you think I would be afraid? If you have the strength to break into this place, I also have a way to suppress and kill you here. Do not challenge my patience; the price is not something you can bear."

Gu Shengge sneered. This System was still so stubborn even though he had already come knocking at its door.

He wasted no more words and began to crack the Formation barriers layer by layer. As the Formation Patterns receded one by one, the barrier was opened. (End of Chapter)
