Chapter 406

– Luminant Sun Gold
The picture hung in the skies, and when looked carefully, it was like they could feel the roaring wind blowing out of the picture.
The godly weapon left behind by Lord Bai!
As he examined the Scroll of the Flowers of Snow, Zhong Yue murmured,
When did we enter this picture and when did we leave it?

On the other side, Bai Shuyue murmured in awe,
We walked for over a thousand miles in the picture… Does that mean that the area in the picture is bigger than that? What about those that were killed in the picture?

She then looked at the picture again, only to find ice sculptures, one after another, standing in the picture. These ice sculptures were the Bai Zhe Clan’s Qi Practitioners that perished to eventually become part of the picture.
Zhong Yue’s attention, however, was concentrated on something else. He saw the long hallway that they walked through in the picture, and at the very end of the hallway was an ice palace. The Frozen Ancient Capital of the Bai Zhe Clan was directly behind the palace!
Could it be that the Frozen Ancient Capital is actually in the picture? Have we been staying inside the picture all this time and only just got out of it?
Instantly, he felt that everything happened right now was incomprehensible.
If the Frozen Ancient Capital built within the North Barren were located in the picture, did that mean that the North Barren itself was also inside the picture?
Could it be that only by escaping the art would one be able to return to reality?
The more he thought about this, the more confused he became. Slowly, he felt that the line separating reality and illusion was growing more indistinct.

This picture only contained about a thousand miles of the North Barren. It is not as strong as you think. If Lord Bai managed to do what you thought, he would have been on the level of the Creator,
said Xin Huo.
Through Zhong Yue’s vision, Xin Huo looked around and said again,
These ancient gods are all scum. How dare they use the Ancestral Star dimension to forge their own godly weapons! No wonder the Ancestral Star has become so small!

The confused Zhong Yue then asked,
Xin Huo, how much of the Ancestral Star’s dimension was used by these ancient gods?


The Ancestral star was much larger before, but these idiotic gods had nothing better to do. They all thought that the Heavenly Emperor returning to this planet to die was a license for them to keep taking portions of the Ancestral Star to make into their own. Just the portion stolen by Lord Bai himself was larger than the current Ancestral Star! I am very sure that aside from those we already know, there are even more ancient gods that stole the land of Ancestral Star and make it into their own godly weapons!


Just how big will the Ancestral Star be if the stolen dimension if the star were recovered?
asked Zhong Yue again.

At least a thousand times bigger.

Zhong Yue then murmured,
These robbers! When I ascend as a god in the future, I will recover all that stolen land!


If you manage to do so, the Ancestral Star will be enlarged by a few times! The scene will definitely be quite incredible to behold!

Meanwhile, Bai Shuyue examined the picture, and she tried to claim this godly weapon for herself. However, she failed inevitably as even the previously strong Qi Practitioners of her clan failed. Thus, she gave up after a few attempts.

Xin Huo, any ideas on allowing me to claim this godly weapon for myself?
asked Zhong Yue again.

I do have some ways and means, but you are not strong enough yet.


Senior Martial Brother Zhong, I am not strong enough to advance on the path ahead easily anymore, I will have to rely on you then. Knowledge is power. Everything will depend on you from now on.

Zhong Yue opened up his divine third eye and looked at the ice surface ahead of them which seemed completely ordinary to the naked eye.
However, under the gaze of his divine eye, various colorful totem carvings appeared in his vision. These glowing totem carvings were all chained together as they all moved around the ice surface.
Judging from the large portion of these glowing light of the totem carvings that circled around frozen Qi Practitioners, these totem carvings were most probably some kind of dangerous seal.
However, since he was not strong enough, he couldn’t do anything despite being able to see these seals.
It was Xin Huo that possessed the knowledge that allowed him to know the weaknesses of the many things he saw, not Zhong Yue himself.

Xin Huo, can you help me to dispel these glowing seals?
asked Zhong Yue.

These glowing seals implemented by Lord Bai are far weaker than the seals in the Devil Soul Forbidden Land, so its not a problem to lift his seals. But with that your strength right now….


However, I can guide you into the seals without any problem.

Zhong Yue then took up his Golden Peng Sword, and as he entered the ice field carefully, the young lady from Bai Zhe Clan closely followed behind him. Under Xin Huo’s guidance, Zhong Yue got past the seals one after another, and they continued going deeper into the ice field.
The further they advanced, the greater the number of frozen Bai Zhe Qi Practitioners that appeared in front of them; some appeared in their human form while others were in the beast form.
There were also tons of frozen magnate level soul weapons, but with them being frozen, it was impossible to pick them up.
The ice field turned into a gold mine all in a sudden. After the death of the many Qi Practitioners, there were all sorts of precious herbs, materials and soul weapons that laid bare on the ground, but they could not even pick one up.
Tempted, Zhong Yue walked forward, and when he tried to separate these frozen items from the ground with his Golden Peng Sword, he only managed to cut down a little bit of the black ice even after using all of his strength
And the severed part of the black ice immediately grew back, making it impossible to retrieve any of these frozen items. With no options left, he gave up and suddenly, Bai Shuyue shouted,
The Bloody Saint Orchid Tree! It is frozen here as well!

As soon as Bai Shuyue saw the bloody red tree that emitted supremely vibrant life energy and with three orchids hanging on its branches, she shouted again,
This godly herb is still alive! It did not die from the cold! The tree only produces one flower every 10,000 years. Look at the three orchids … It has been here for 30,000 years!


The Luminant Sun Gold!

Zhong Yue’s attention was immediately drawn to the godly herb, and when he looked at it, he felt an immense life essence that caused him to feel at ease.
The godly herb’s efficacy may not be stronger than the saint herb, but the saint herb that Zhong Yue once absorbed was a saint herb that was consumed by the saint spirit beforehand. Thus, the efficacy of the saint was definitely stronger than the godly herb.
However, it would be very beneficial to him if he got his hands on the Bloody Saint Orchid Tree.
What a shame….
Similar to the other items, they were unable to retrieve the godly herb, and they continued their advance only to encounter even more incredible objects.
Those were divine gold pieces collected by a Bai Zhe Clan’s magnate Qi Practitioners. They were all frozen in the black ice, and yet, they still emitted blinding rays of aureate light.
Obviously, the magnate Qi Practitioner was about to forge a soul weapon with these godly gold pieces, but before he could put his thoughts into actions, everything had become frozen in ice.
Zhong Yue shook his head and continued walking. All of a sudden, he sensed something and quickly turned around. He suddenly felt an unknown but familiar and dreary presence not far away. What he saw was a black charcoal-like object that was sealed in the black ice.
This charcoal-like object looked extremely dull, and it did not emit any sort of alluring light that many either high-level artifacts did, but this was also what drew Zhong Yue attention. Not only that, but this object caused Zhong Yue’s sun spirit to tremble with expectance as if this charcoal-like object were very important.

The Luminant Sun Gold!

Xin Huo had a shock upon seeing this object, and he quickly shouted in joy,
Brat Yue, this is something perfect for you! It is a divine gold that got separated from the core of the sun undergoing supernova! Whether it be crafting equipment or cultivating the sun spirit, this gold will be able to bring you unlimited benefits! With the Moon Core Mystic Gold, you can forge a top graded soul weapon and nourish your sun and moon spirit!

Without any hesitation, Zhong Yue quickly rushed towards the Luminant Sun Gold. But upon reaching it, he was only able to frown in disappointment at the fact that he had no way to extract the divine gold from the black ice.

Lord Bai’s seal will not be able to seal the Luminant Sun Gold. Those guys from the Bai Zhe Clan had no sun spirit so they could not stimulate the fire energy within the Luminant Sun Gold but you can.

Xin Huo then said again,
Just activate your sun spirit and stimulate the power within the gold to melt the black ice!

Zhong Yue then immediately summoned his Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen and stimulated the power within the divine gold. A sudden explosion occurred from within the black ice that sealed the godly gold as a mini sun appeared!
Instantly, the black ice melted and the miniature sun rose up into the skies before stopping right behind Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen.
Bai Shuyue who was standing on the other side jumped with surprise. She thought the object was just something the previous people of Bai Zhe Clan used to light a fire for warmth. She never thought that something so dull was capable of producing such power!
As soon as Zhong Yue kept the Luminant Sun Gold in his secret realm, he immediately felt that his Golden Crow Yuan Shen became bathed in a nourishing and warm ocean.
What an amazing item!
Overwhelming happiness struck Zhong Yue. With the Moon Core Mystic Gold he obtained by salvaging Xiao Yuan’s mirror, and with the addition of the Luminant Sun Gold, his sun and moon spirit will be able to improve rapidly together!
Besides, with this Luminant Sun Gold, I might be able to retrieve the frozen items all over the ice field!
Without hesitation, he turned back and melted the ice and retrieved the divine gold handing them over to Bai Shuyue,
Senior Martial Sister Shuyue, the divine gold just now is very important to me so I will not give it to you. These, however, I can give you.

Out of his expectation, the young lady shook her head and rejected,
This may have once belonged of the Bai Zhe Clan, but if no one was able to retrieve them, then whoever manages to take them away will be their new owner. These are all yours, don’t worry about me.

Zhong Yue shook his head and said,
If it were not for you who brought me here, I would not be able to gain such a huge number of precious items. You have to accept it.

Bai Shuyue then nodded in acquiescence and accepted Zhong Yue’s offer. They then both returned to the Bloody Saint Orchid Tree in excitement. When Zhong Yue did the same thing to melt the ice and retrieve the tree, the godly herb incinerated and turned to ash abruptly!
