Chapter 225: Elder Xuan’s Rebirth, Chi Mei’s Message

Just then, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the cave.

This aura was extremely cold, yet filled with overbearing majesty.

The entire cave began to freeze as the chill spread rapidly, the temperature plummeting to the extreme.

“This is…”

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

A figure slowly walked out of the cave.

It was a youth, appearing seventeen or eighteen years old, with short snow-white hair and wearing a white long robe.

He had a slender build and handsome features, with an air of cold arrogance between his brows.

Most striking were his eyes: one emerald green like jade, the other icy blue like frost, radiating an indescribable eeriness and majesty.

“Elder Xuan?”

Zhou Chen was stunned; this guy was a bit too handsome, almost catching up to him.

“Kid, it's me. Sorry for the wait.”

The youth spoke, his voice clear yet carrying a sense of age. This contrast gave Zhou Chen a strange feeling.

A bit of a gap moe.

The Ancient Transformation Pill returned by the System was indeed miraculous, actually allowing Elder Xuan to transform into a youth.

“This body of yours… it's quite young. I'm not quite used to it,” Zhou Chen couldn't help but tease.

“The Snow Lotus Essence was originally a newborn Innate being. After Possession, I could shape it however I wanted. This is how I used to look.”

The young Elder Xuan moved his limbs: “Furthermore, I can feel that this body has immense potential, even stronger than my original Physical Body. Water and fire complement each other, and the Dao rhyme is infinite. Thanks to you, kid, I have hope of going even further in this life.”

“Extreme Cold Domain.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the surrounding air instantly condensed into countless ice walls, turning the area within a hundred miles into a world of ice and snow.

Several Jiang Family Disciples at the Half-Emperor Realm were frozen into ice sculptures before they could react.

“Perfection Quasi-Emperor?!”

Jiang Lie's face turned pale.

“How is this possible! Who are you?! The Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus Essence just transformed; even if possessed immediately, how could it have the strength of Perfection Quasi-Emperor!”

Ying Wuji shouted in terror.

“Little brat, have you ever heard of the Profound Fire Emperor Venerable?”

The youth said calmly, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority.

“Profound Fire Emperor Venerable?!” The Enshrined Elder's pupils shrank. “The one from ten thousand years ago…”

“It seems someone still remembers me.”

Elder Xuan sneered. “However, I don't like being remembered.”

As he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure erupted from his body.

It was actually the pressure of Emperor Laws containing rules. Even though he was only at Perfection Quasi-Emperor now, it still made everyone present tremble.

“Escape!”

Jiang Lie was the first to turn and run, but an ice spike shot through the air, piercing his shoulder.

“Ah!”

Jiang Lie screamed, his blood frozen before it could even spray out.

The next moment, countless ice pillars burst from the wound, skewering him completely.

“Ant.”

Elder Xuan waved his hand, and Jiang Lie was instantly disintegrated into countless fragments.

It was actually the Law power of the Emperor Realm!

A one-hit kill on a Quasi-Emperor!

Seeing this, the others were scared out of their wits. Daring stay no longer, they fled in all directions.

“Myriad Transformation Ice Seal!”

Countless ice spikes condensed in the air, falling in a dense, overwhelming barrage. Several Half-Emperors were killed on the spot, while the rest fled for their lives.

“Kid, finish them off. It's not suitable for me to use too many attacks right now. I'll restrain them, and the rest is up to you.”

Elder Xuan turned to Zhou Chen and said.

The fleeing Cultivators slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhou Chen nodded, wasting no words.

Green Lotus Burying Sky!

The terrifying Slaughter Sword Intent and Great River Sword Intent raged wildly.

Ying Wuji had an arm severed by a green sword light and fled screaming while using a secret technique.

The City Lord's Manor Enshrined Elder was covered in wounds. Enduring his injuries, he burned his essence blood and escaped as a streak of bloody light.

Half an hour later, the battle ended.

The ground was littered with corpses. Of over twenty Half-Emperors and one Quasi-Emperor, only three eventually escaped. Jiang Lie had also met his end here.

“Phew…”

Elder Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, his aura instantly relaxing.

Zhou Chen walked over and supported him: “Old man, you doing okay? Are you alright?”

“I'm not dead yet.”

Zhou Chen smiled, looking over Elder Xuan's new body: “You look quite handsome like this. But those eyes are too conspicuous; you'll probably have to cover them up when we go out.”

“These are natural traits of the Snow Lotus Essence; there's no way to change them. But it doesn't matter; strength is what's fundamental.”

Elder Xuan said dismissively, with an air of seasoned experience.

He waved his hand, and a surge of pure cold Qi flowed into Zhou Chen's body. The chill carried a powerful life force, and Zhou Chen's internal injuries healed at a visible rate.

“This Snow Lotus Essence Spirit Body of yours actually has healing effects?”

Zhou Chen was surprised.

“The Snow Lotus Essence was originally a sacred healing object. After Possession, I inherited all its abilities. I can not only attack but also heal. Furthermore, this body has immense potential; once I've fully mastered it, my strength can rise even further.”

Elder Xuan explained.

Zhou Chen nodded: “That Myriad Ice Seal move just now was indeed powerful.”

Elder Xuan looked at his hands: “It's good to be young… This body's Foundation is perfect, and the compatibility is extremely high. Once I recover to the Emperor Realm, my strength won't be inferior to back then.”

Just then, a red figure flashed on a mountain peak a hundred miles away.

“Hmm? Someone's watching the show.”

Zhou Chen raised his hand, and a strand of Sword Qi shot out like a streak of light.

On the peak, Chi Mei dodged and said with a smile, “Tsk tsk, the Azure Lotus Sword Venerable's perception is indeed impressive.”

“It's you.”

Zhou Chen frowned: “How long have you been following me?”

“I've been following since you left East Desolate City.”

Chi Mei smiled: “Young Master Zhou's luck is truly good, actually having such a powerful helper.”

“What do you want?”

Elder Xuan asked coldly. Despite his youthful appearance, he put immense pressure on Chi Mei.

“Don't be nervous.”

Chi Mei waved her hand: “I said I bear you no ill will. It's just… the people from the Jiang and Ying Families have escaped. Soon, Emperor Realm experts will be dispatched. When that time comes, you two Quasi-Emperors won't be able to stop them.”

Zhou Chen and Elder Xuan exchanged a glance, both knowing she was telling the truth.

“So?”

Zhou Chen continued to ask.

“So, I'll show you a clear path.”

Chi Mei smiled: “Go three thousand miles west to a place called Burial God Ridge. It's shrouded year-round in poisonous miasma and chaotic Laws; an Emperor Realm expert who enters will surely die. As long as those below the Emperor Realm don't touch the taboos, you can hide there and be safe for at least a while.”

“Why help us?”

Elder Xuan asked warily.

“Because I find it very interesting.”

Chi Mei blinked: “A person as interesting as Young Master Zhou, I wouldn't want to see him die so early. As for this one… Profound Fire Emperor Venerable? Seeing the Rebirth of a legendary Emperor Venerable is also quite an interesting thing.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure vanished into the night.

Zhou Chen looked in the direction she disappeared, silent for a moment: “What on earth does this crazy woman want?”

“I don't know.”
