Otherworldly

It is often said that comparing goods makes you want to throw them away, and comparing people makes you die of anger.

Some people consider themselves geniuses.

But compared to Young Master Zhong,

What kind of geniuses were they?

This, there was absolutely no comparison.

What was the concept of instantly killing a Sanyin Realm expert at less than twenty years of age?

Such a person, looking back through history, if not unique, was certainly a rare existence.

They either possessed astonishing fortuitous encounters, performed heaven-defying miracles, or created supreme legends.

If such a person did not fall midway, he might not be unable to attain the Imperial Throne in the future!

An Emperor was the embodiment of invincibility, the symbol of supremacy.

The thought that Young Master Zhong might attain the Imperial Throne caused everyone to lose their voices, their scalps tingling with shock!

It could be said that, in a short period, Young Master Zhong had already become the subject of heated discussion throughout the entire sect.

In a flash,

Two days passed.

Young Master Zhong had rested at Mirror Heart Lake for two days.

On this day,

Under Ming Suxin's guidance, Young Master Zhong had already arrived amidst a grove of Snow Bamboo.

Snow Bamboo was considered a specialty of Mirror Heart Lake, a branch of spiritual bamboo!

Its entire body was snow-white, with lush branches and leaves, imbued with a crystalline spiritual aura.

The two walked leisurely through the bamboo forest, with Hei Bai following a short distance behind, maintaining a body's length between them.

"Young Master Zhong, this is our Mirror Heart Lake Snow Bamboo. It grows one segment every ten years and three feet every hundred years. Many years ago, my master brewed a batch of bamboo wine in this bamboo forest."

"Calculating the time, it's just right for harvesting now."

These words made Young Master Zhong's eyes light up.

Over the years, he had drunk various types of wine, each with its unique flavor.

But he had truly never tasted bamboo wine.

The three arrived at the center of the bamboo forest. Ming Suxin paused in front of a Snow Bamboo that was about the size of a fist in diameter and nearly ten zhang tall.

"Young Master Zhong, please wait a moment!"

She waved her delicate hand, and a wine container appeared in it.

Accompanying the container was a long, hollow spiritual needle.

As the spiritual needle was inserted into the Snow Bamboo, a clear, water-like spiritual wine flowed out, carrying a rich, fragrant aroma.

Before long, Ming Suxin drew a cup of wine and presented it to Young Master Zhong.

"Young Master Zhong, this time our sect suffered a great calamity, and it was all thanks to your help that our Mirror Heart Lake was able to overcome this tribulation. Suxin is here to toast you!"

Young Master Zhong took it smoothly.

He laughed, "I said, I came here this time just for a bowl of wine. It was just a small effort, so there's no need for thanks."

As he spoke, he directly drank it all.

The wine was sweet on the palate yet not lacking in potency.

It was mixed with the fragrance of tender bamboo.

"Good wine!"

Young Master Zhong had drunk no small amount of wine.

But this bamboo wine was definitely a fine wine that could rank in the first tier.

Seeing that Young Master Zhong liked it, Ming Suxin also felt joy in her heart.

"If Young Master Zhong likes it, why not stay at Mirror Heart Lake for a while longer!"

"When you leave, Suxin will prepare a few more pots for you!"

"In that case, I'll trouble Miss Suxin!"

Young Master Zhong thought that Bai Ling's matter clearly couldn't be resolved in a short time.

Moreover, the weather in this Northern Domain was mostly cold winds and heavy snow. While it might feel novel upon first arrival, staying for a long time would inevitably lead to visual fatigue.

There was no harm in staying here for a few more days.

That night!

The wind and snow abruptly ceased, and the stars emerged.

Amidst the snow-white cliffs, Young Master Zhong stood on a rock, gazing at the vast starry sky, occasionally taking a sip of wine.

The brilliant starlight fell upon the boundless snow, adding a touch of sacredness and brightness to the entire snowy mountain region.

Young Master Zhong's heart was very calm.

He was drinking wine and enjoying the scenery.

It had to be said that Mirror Heart Lake could develop to its current scale because its location was indeed a rare blessed land.

The entire sect was built upon three mountains and five peaks, and these mountains and peaks were immersed in a huge ice lake.

If the three mountains and five peaks were the habitat of the Mirror Heart Lake disciples,

Then this lake was the foundation upon which the entire sect was built.

Within the ice lake, there was a rich spiritual energy.

If Young Master Zhong had not seen wrongly, deep within the lake, there was clearly a spiritual stone vein!

At this moment, a group of fish swam playfully throughout the entire ice lake.

The fish were thumb-sized.

Their tails emitted a faint blue light.

As they swam and moved, they flickered, like fireflies.

They were truly eye-catching.

There's a saying that goes well:

You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery, and the person watching the scenery watches you from afar.

The bright moon adorned your figure, and you adorned others' dreams.

The mountain peak where Young Master Zhong was located housed many Mirror Heart Lake disciples.

There were groups of female disciples, three or five together, whispering incessantly as they looked at the figure on the cliff.

"Senior Sister, is that Young Master Zhong?"

In front of Ming Suxin's cave dwelling, five true disciples, including herself, had gathered.

One of the female disciples asked quickly.

"That's right!"

Ming Suxin gave an affirmative answer.

"Senior Sister, do you know Young Master Zhong's specific strength?"

"The Grand Elder of the Sanyin Realm! He was killed by a single palm strike. Even now, I still can't believe it."

Ming Suxin shook her head and said,

"Killing the Grand Elder is nothing to him. As for his specific strength... Although I spent some time with Young Master Zhong in the White Wind Plains, his specific strength remains a mystery to this day!"

This made several people stunned.

"Senior Sister, no way!"

"You and Young Master Zhong have been in the White Wind Plains together for so long, shouldn't you be in that kind of relationship?"

"What kind of relationship?"

Ming Suxin was startled, not understanding what she meant.

"It's, it's..."

"Shouldn't Young Master Zhong be fond of you?"

"Otherwise, why would he stand up for you?"

"Otherwise, why would he directly give you that powerful inheritance?"

One young girl asked, her large eyes like sapphires.

However, what greeted her was Ming Suxin's flick on her forehead!

"What are you thinking!"

"How could such a person achieve so much without a firm heart dedicated to the Dao?"

"How could he develop any romantic feelings!"

Another immediately retorted, "Senior Sister, you can't be so sure!"

"Your talent is so high, and you're so beautiful and elegant."

"Any man who sees you would be moved."

"If you ask me, you might as well put in more effort and try to win him over."

"If you can become Dao companions with such a person, our Mirror Heart Lake will have a huge backer in the future."

These words made Ming Suxin's brows furrow with a few dark lines.

"You're getting more and more outrageous. Young Master Zhong's affairs are not for you to gossip about."

"Hurry up and go cultivate. Relying on others is not as good as relying on yourself."

"Instead of spending your thoughts on finding a backer and clinging to a powerful figure, it's better to improve your own strength first."

These words drew a chorus of 'eh eh' sounds.

Some realms cannot be broken through just by diligent cultivation.

With their aptitude, without a heaven-defying fortuitous encounter, they would reach their limit at the Tianxuan Realm in this lifetime.

Of course, joking aside, seeing a hint of annoyance on their Senior Sister's face, everyone stopped at an appropriate point and did not discuss this topic further.

They only talked about some private matters of young girls.

Only Ming Suxin seemed a little distracted.

Subtle ripples appeared in her heart lake.

Her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the figure on the mountain.

Under the moonlight!

On the snowy mountain peak!

Young Master Zhong was bathed in a layer of brilliant moonlight, exuding an aura of peace and tranquility.

A gentle breeze stirred a lock of his long hair, revealing half of a perfectly flawless face.

Masculine yet handsome, quiet yet profound.

Like an immortal descended to the mortal world!

Extraordinary and refined!

This scene made her heart suddenly beat three times faster!
