Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 505 - 478: Living Life Like a Game
At this moment, Frost Monarch paused, then continued:
"But what truly worries me is that, at the level of the Frost Domain, the difficulties I face will intensify. After all, this time, I have simultaneously offended two major powers. One is the one I squeezed out of the Elder Council position, and the other, the one I took the Vermilion Bird Array Soul from."
"This situation is hard to manage, whether it’s Feng Muhai you mentioned or my other disciples, none can handle it well, and naturally, neither can you. However, your only advantage is this Vermilion Bird Array Soul. With it, you virtually borrow twenty percent of the power of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower for your use."
"The power of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower can radiate this far?"
Wang Wu was very shocked, automatically ignoring the twenty percent statement, because that would imply up to a 20% shareholding. Are you kidding me? I don’t believe it!
"Naturally it cannot, but its power can be transmitted through the power of the Hidden Origin Bell. You don’t really think the Hidden Origin Bell has such great power, do you?"
"Do you think the Hidden Origin Association builds branch altar cities among various Immortal Alliances and major forces and constructs Hidden Origin Bells on such a large scale for what reason? It’s all to transmit the power of that Zhenyuan Tower."
"In the future, as long as you walk in any area covered by the Hidden Origin Bell, you can borrow the power of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower. This is the greatest advantage that no one else has."
"And the most crucial point is, the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower is not yet Zhenyuan Tower; its power hasn’t truly been uploaded, so even the Hidden Origin Elder Council has no authority to investigate you, because the authority array souls we handed over for controlling the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, only you are unique, except for the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch."
"But I must warn you, do not misuse it. If you can avoid using it, then don’t use it. If you can use it for small matters, don’t use it for big matters, or rather use it for one big matter, never for killing."
"Otherwise, if the message gets back, you know the consequence."
Wang Wu nodded heavily, his heart trembled, the consequences were not generally severe. Thinking it over, he asked again,
"Is there anything else I need to be cautious about?"
"Not for the time being. In fact, the Outer Domain of the Frost Domain has always been relatively stable. If you find yourself in an inappropriate situation, you can discuss it with my disciples, but you should ensure to act cautiously. Also, don’t feel that being the Lord of the Frost Domain will delay your cultivation. What you truly lack now is tempering. The most basic thing is that you haven’t traveled throughout the Cultivation Realm, so how can you claim to fully understand your Dao?"
"As the Lord of the Frost Domain, you will encounter a lot of tricky problems, treat these as part of your cultivation. I hope when I leave seclusion again, you will have smoothly advanced to Taiyi True Immortal."
"What about Qingxue? When will she leave seclusion? Is she okay?" Wang Wu hurriedly asked, because Frost Monarch seemed very impatient, about to leave immediately, how could that be!
Frost Monarch was silent for a second, turned around, and walked away, a white cloud obscuring her figure in an instant, but finally, there was still a trace of voice.
"In five hundred years, she might leave seclusion. She is a registered disciple I secretly accepted, her elders have a deep relationship with me, owe me a great debt of gratitude, but I don’t intend to officially include her in my sect for now, do you understand?"
"Noted!"
Wang Wu accepted the order, while also feeling relieved. He had always felt the relationship between Qingxue and Frost Monarch was not ordinary, not quite like master and disciple, yet they trusted each other deeply. However, neither Baiyu nor Feng Muhai knew about this Qingxue.
So it turns out she is the daughter of an old acquaintance, there must be a very complex story behind this, and to make Frost Monarch feel such immense gratitude, it surely is not simple, so keeping it secret is also understandable.
"But, what should I do next, where should I go? As the Lord of the Frost Domain, I don’t even have a retinue with me, this Frost Monarch is a bit treacherous."
Wang Wu complained inwardly, knowing he was still in the Inner Domain.
Forget it, I’ll just go where the wind takes me. Frost Monarch isn’t in a rush, why should I be?
To be fair, ever since he crossed over, he truly hadn’t enjoyed a few days of peace.
If he wasn’t rushing for survival, he was closing up for cultivation.
Now is indeed a great opportunity.
On one hand, his cultivation foundation is already very solid, the First Sequence needs time to accumulate bit by bit, the Second Sequence doesn’t need attention, and the Third Sequence also requires building up over time, but none need secluding anymore.
On the other hand, he no longer needs to worry about being drained of the Hidden Dragon Sinew by the Cyan Dragon Race or being cursed with Blood Curse Celestial Punishment by the Great Witch Priest of Mang Mountain Ancient Bear.
The feeling of not being hunted by enemies from behind is truly wonderful.
Finally, with a lifespan of over thirty thousand years, he has to enjoy it a bit, or he’s not being fair to himself.
At that moment, Wang Wu casually found a prosperous mortal city on the ground, joyfully mingled in the bustling streets, without needing to do anything specific, and without needing to feel anything, letting fate take its course, free and unfettered, observing and experiencing with a pure heart.
Occasionally, he would steal dogs with beggars, flirt with passing ladies alongside ruffians and lowlifes, or spend nights in the brothel with a group of literati and scholars, and transform into a butcher at dawn.
A new play every day, a new face every day, joyfully playing around in the mortal world.
In this way, several years passed, and he returned to live in seclusion with General Xuelang and Madam Yu, living a happy and carefree life of farming and weaving.
In the blink of an eye, fifty years had passed.
One morning, while pondering what to eat later, Feng Muhai suddenly appeared before him.
"Sir, there is an important matter in the Frost Domain that requires your attention."
"Alright, let’s go!"
Wang Wu nodded, not surprised that Feng Muhai could find him. After fifty-five years, the pressure from the opposing forces must be very significant.
At this moment, he rather understood why Frost Monarch left him in the peaceful and serene Inner Domain, probably because her disciples were not convinced.
Nonsense, who would be convinced?
``` 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
So, Wang Wu happily and joyfully retreated into the Inner Domain, thereby avoiding the internal strife with Feng Muhai and his group at the beginning, sparing himself the headache of dealing with them.
But now, with external tensions rising and the emergence of a crisis they can’t resolve, naturally, they will come running to Wang Wu.
Quite nice.
At this moment, Feng Muhai bowed once again to Wang Wu, "Sir, the situation is urgent, please allow me to carry you once more."
This was expected, how could Wang Wu, at a Tier Nine Earth Immortal level, outrun the unparalleled escape speed of Feng Muhai.
So he didn’t hesitate, the Ruyi Body Technique activated, turning him into a speck of dust, while Feng Muhai transformed into a swift gust, and in the next second, they were miles away, then passing through one array barrier after another, by the third second, they were already inside a Hidden Origin Bell.
The speed was just that fast.
However, this Hidden Origin Bell was obviously not comparable to the one in Dragon Head City, of extremely high quality, most likely already at its peak.
Wang Wu couldn’t sense the power of the Zhenyuan Tower here, because he didn’t have enough authority, even as the Lord of the Frost Realm, he could only feel the power refracted from this Hidden Origin Bell.
However, he could very clearly sense the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower here, and upon looking up, he could even see the phantom of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower standing right above the Hidden Origin Bell.
This time he understood why during the Hidden Origin Elder Council meeting before, the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower would enlarge as he ascended and shrink as he descended, because he had high enough authority.
No wonder the Frost Monarch insisted he become the Lord of the Frost Realm.
From this point of view, who else but him?
At this moment, Wang Wu glanced around, the interior space of this top-grade Hidden Origin Bell was obviously much larger.
And it had as many as three hundred cave residence quotas, apparently, the Hidden Origin Bell in Dragon Head City only had nine cave residence quotas.
Here, it was the largest cave residence, akin to a grand council hall, where three Taiyi True Immortals were present, their faces carrying concealed anxiety, but what truly caught Wang Wu’s attention was a peculiar Spiritual Spring.
This Spiritual Spring coexisted with the Hidden Origin Bell, its Spiritual Qi was dense, measuring at least three trillion, making Wang Wu envious.
At this moment, lying within this Spiritual Spring was a corpse, no, not quite a corpse, but very close to death.
Wang Wu recognized this person, having met them once, their strength surpassed even Feng Muhai, and they had attended the previous Hidden Origin Elder Council meeting, but seemed to harbor a slight dissatisfaction with Wang Wu.
Of course, over the past fifty-five years, since Wang Wu stayed in the Inner Domain, that slight dissatisfaction probably hasn’t festered.
"We extend our greetings, sir."
The three Taiyi True Immortals all paid their respects to Wang Wu, regardless of their inner thoughts, at least they wouldn’t leave a handle on etiquette.
"Sir, this is my second brother Zhuang Bufei, fourth junior brother Xing Dezheng, and fifth junior sister Qu Shenglian. As for the one in the Spiritual Spring, this is our eldest brother Lu Tong, who, not long ago, was ambushed by an unknown enemy while handling a matter outside, with all five Creation Spirit Pills shattered, the Creation Immortal Body collapsed, luckily, I was secretly accompanying him, and seeing the situation was dire, immediately used the Escape Technique to swiftly bring him back, placing him in this Spiritual Spring, borrowing the power of the Zhenyuan Tower to temporarily stabilize his injuries."
"But this does not change anything, so I boldly ask the sir to save him with an Immortal Pill!"
With that, Feng Muhai knelt down with a crash.
Oh, you still remember my Immortal Pill, huh?
Wang Wu thought angrily, you ate my Immortal Pill, took my benefits, and ignored me for the past fifty years?
Is there anyone like you!
However, out of respect for the Frost Monarch, I won’t argue with you, there’s no point in arguing, if I don’t show off my skills now, you wouldn’t be convinced.
"I don’t have any Immortal Pills, so at best, I can save his life, but his cultivation can’t be preserved."
Wang Wu said calmly, stepping forward to swiftly check with Spiritual Essence Micro, he couldn’t help secretly being alarmed, last time Feng Muhai only had one Creation Wind Spirit Pill shattered, now all five were shattered for Lu Tong.
It seems the opponent was really ruthless, and knew the Frost Monarch was injured and in seclusion, hence took the opportunity to strike.
"Can this matter be reported to the Hidden Origin Elder Council?"
Wang Wu asked, first needing to follow procedure.
"It has been reported, but the Hidden Origin Elder Council convenes once every three hundred years, we couldn’t find any other Second-Grade Elder, only could report the matter and wait for it to be handled."
Zhuang Bufei answered at this time.
"Why?" Wang Wu didn’t quite understand, he remembered the uproar from Qin Yu’s death last time.
Feng Muhai, understanding Wang Wu well, quickly explained:
"Because the Seven Domains are highly autonomous, as long as no one dies, the early warning level is not very high, if my eldest brother dies, the Hidden Origin Elder Council would urgently initiate an investigation motion, appointing a certain attending elder to investigate, the current problem is here, our master is in seclusion due to injuries, so we have no spokesperson in the Hidden Origin Elder Council and naturally can’t propose an urgent investigation motion regarding this matter."
"Moreover, we can’t meet the other six elders whenever we want, and we can’t just sit by as our eldest brother dies."
"In summary, this matter is temporarily unresolved."
"The priority now is to save my eldest brother’s life."
