Rebirth of MC

Chapter 202

n.o.body knew when those countless translucent monsters with woody expressions and sharp icy claws showed up.

"What are those things?" Huo Zaiyuan asked with a cautious expression, while waving his left hand, where a jade brush circling quickly, appeared. He didn"t possess any rituals, and the only Spiritual Power tool he had was the Jade Brush in his hand.

"The whole Cultivation Boundary has never met such strange creatures. It must be a specialty of this territory" Lu wasn"t anxious. His long guqin swirled around his body, using his leg as a support (?).

"Snow Goblins. Ten millions years old snow creatures, which turned into demons. We are walking in Bingtian-xuedi, which means that we entered in their domain" Long Zhanye explained. The back of his hands was almost covered by black scales. He slowly stretched open his hands: "Snow Goblins wouldn"t randomly attack people, so there must be someone among them who has become clever and is controlling them. If we can catch that Snow Goblin, then they will step aside"

"Understood" Huo Zaiyuan nodded: "I and Zhanye will fight together. Lu, watch out any abnormal moves from the goblins"

Ever since returning in the Cultivation Boundary, it was Huo Zaiyuan"s first time fighting with Long Zhanye. He didn"t know why, but he felt excited…

"No problem" Lu moved his thin fingers, and a melodious guqin sound floated. The sound quickly spread for more than ten meters, transforming into a golden boundary, which protected them from not only the goblins" attacks, but also from other unknown things.

After everything was ready, Huo Zaiyuan and Long Zhanye started to charge forward. They both leapt swiftly between the goblins, followed by quick movements. Compared to Long Zhanye"s destructive powers, Huo Zaiyuan looked gentler. The twinkling Jade Brush continued to circle, eliminating and making the Snow Goblins collapse…

While the two were attacking, the goblins were also flowing endlessly, until Lu shifted his hand and noticed something odd among the Snow Goblins, so he raised his left knee, making the guqin soar high in the sky, with the sound still active.

"Dong!" the sound hit the ground. Lu supported the guqin with one hand while condensing the strings in his inner Yuan with the other one. The strings loosened, and a green light quickly surged towards a certain direction. In a flash, all the Snow Goblins were turned into ice cubes, followed by a ear-piercing yell, which gradually dispersed. Thus, the Snow Goblins slowly dispersed, and the snow land regained its previous quiet.

"They were indeed controlled" Long Zhanye stated. His sharp pointed nails and scales quickly disappeared. He turned his body to walk towards Huo Zaiyuan, who was frowning while looking at his own brush: "Little Yuan, what"s wrong?"

"It"s a little strange" Huo Zaiyuan whispered, while making his brush disappear with a gesture of his hand.

"What"s so strange? I didn"t sense any other danger" Long Zhanye stopped by Huo Zaiyuan"s side and then stretched his arms to hug him. He squinted his eyes, spreading and covering everywhere with his Spiritual Mark.

Bingtian-xuedi was certainly hiding other creatures, however, he didn"t perceive any other stuff which was dangerous or odd. Some even detected his existence and were avoiding him.

"No… I feel like my gongti has increased… È, not really…"

As soon as he entered in the snow land, his body was shivering from the cold. No matter how he used his gongti, his Spiritual Power or the inner Yuan to resist this piercing cold, it wasn"t much effective. However, whenever he killed a Snow Goblin, he felt like something was flowing in his inner Yuan. His gongti also started to work, letting the Spiritual Power circulate in his gongti.

After checking that Huo Zaiyuan didn"t have any anomaly again and again, Long Zhanye finally lay down his worries and held his waist.

"Same with me. After battling with the Snow Goblins, my gongti increased, although just by little" Lu approached them while holding the guqin.

His level was almost near the Heti stage, so he didn"t know how much it really increased compared to Huo Zaiyuan, who was near Golden Cinnabar stage. Therefore, Huo Zaiyuan has clearly felt the increase in power and traces of Spiritual qi flowing.

"It seems that this place isn"t only unusual and dangerous, but it"s also a good location where cultivators can practice. Those cultivators who sealed the Dangerous Boundary had other intentions" Long Zhanye sneered.

The Cultivation Boundary people were even more complicated than the Human Boundary ones. In order to become immortal, those cultivators" method was really… zézé, the invincible Dragon felt disappointed.

"Who knows" Lu shrugged his shoulders, clearly not interested in investigating this matter.

The three people continued to search for the ingredients on the Bingtian-xuedi. In those ten days, they encountered every type of icy monsters, evils beasts, strange animals… furthermore, they found three kinds of snowy Spiritual Gra.s.ses needed on the Xianpin folk recipe. Obviously, Huo Zaiyuan has also plundered many rare Spiritual Gra.s.ses, transplanting them in the s.p.a.ce, so that they would grow in a suitable environment. Long Zhanye transferred an iceberg inside the s.p.a.ce.

Afterwards, the three of them walked inside a torrid and blazing region… and it was in this moment that a change occurred in Huo Zaiyuan"s body.

After they successfully knocked down an eighth ranked Lava Beast, the Spiritual Power inside Huo Zaiyuan"s body abruptly condensed, an omen sign before Golden Cinnabar stage. They were forced to find and stay in a relatively hidden place where they let Huo Zaiyuan advance, and then they would plan what to do next.

Huo Zaiyuan was sitting with his legs crossed inside a secluded cavern, surrounded by warm air. His hair and clothes were already dampened by sweat, but he couldn"t do much. He was slowly guiding the Spiritual qi in his body and condensing it, doing it for almost 15 days.

……

"How is sir?"

On the the third day Huo Zaiyuan went in seclusion to break through Golden Cinnabar stage, Lu looked for the other Tianyin Immortal Palace disciples. Operating with them wasn"t easy like with Long Zhanye. After 15 days, his clothes were full of holes, his face ripped with blood scars… the disciples were also cutting a sorry figure, and lost their usual calm and elegance.

"No sign of activity. Apart from the fact that 5 days are left before the Dangerous Boundary"s gap closes, and since little Yuan is advancing here, then we don"t have any intentions to leave this place" Long Zhanye pointed at the cave wall with a unperturbed expression. It was clear that he didn"t even think of separating from this place.

"Lu knows, Lu will return to the Palace Master and explain sir"s situation. Even though there is still Your Excellency here to protect him, but I still have a warning: the danger here is extremely high. Previously, I and my disciples almost lost our lives here. I hope that sir and Your Excellency can take shelter and take care of yourselves"

"I know. Oh, right, what about the Taoist Sect?" Taoist Sect disciples were falling short, and if he and Huo Zaiyuan both "died" in the Dangerous Boundary, then it would be awesome. However, if one disciple was still alive, then it would lead to suspiciousness.

"Right, my disciples also payed attention to the Taoist Sect. Half of the 200 people have died"

"Very good" Long Zhanye nodded his head, pleased: "Quickly go away. Be careful and take this. The power isn"t high, but it should be enough to protect you" Long Zhanye handed over a black scale to Lu.

The black scale contained his Dragon qi, which was enough to scare low level beasts away… naturally, it would also attract powerful beasts, but with the premise that they were of his same level.

"Thank you, Your Excellency"

After the Tianyin Immortal Palace disciples left, Long Zhanye looked at the cave with a light smile. He sat crossed on the ground, and closed his eyes to meditate.

He wasn"t a cultivator. In fact, if he didn"t fall in love with Huo Zaiyuan, he would be unable to patiently wait on the same place. They were asking him to die. But because of his lover, he was willing to not only wait for half a year, but also protect him for a lifetime. Obviously, his lifetime was extremely long, long, long…

However, Long Zhanye wouldn"t wait for a lifetime, because he didn"t know that, by handing his black scale over to Lu, he has completely exposed his whereabouts, also attracting the person he wanted to see the least.

……

When the gap was about to disappear, Lu lead his disciples in time, all thanks to the dragon scale given by Long Zhanye, which scared half the beasts away. So, compared to other sects disciples, who were wounded in every way when they were leaving the Dangerous Boundary, they only had some small cuts on their bodies, which weren"t worth the mentioning.

However, when they were a step away from the exit, several people wearing black robes appeared and blocked their way: "On your body… there is his smell"
