Chapter 198 The Snow of Burning Longevity
Su Li originally wanted to return to Yun Dan Sect, but was held back by Gu Huatian, his traitorous disciple.
"Master, you promised me you would take my little grandson as your apprentice."
"And there's something else I'd like to ask for your help with."
Su Li was speechless. She had never actually thought about acquiring any land, and each one was more outrageous than the last.
To this day, she still doesn't know how Tang Chuyang of the Haotian Sect became her disciple.
And this old man, the sect leader of the Ancient Pill Hall, the number one alchemist on the Tianming Continent!
How dare he have the nerve to want to become her apprentice?!
Bah! He's just after the pill formula she has!
It's not enough for him to worry about it himself; he wants his grandson to worry about it too!
If her pill formulas are to be passed down, they should be passed on to the disciples of the Cloud Pill Sect...
Although this formula is quite difficult, even if it were passed on to them, they might not be able to learn it.
Currently, they can only refine ancient pill formulas of grade three or lower...
Even the elders couldn't refine anything of better quality...
Suddenly, snowflakes began to fall on Su Li.
The snowflakes touched Su Li's body and then slid off immediately without lingering for a moment.
Su Li was startled and glanced at the lush green trees beside him.
I glanced at the sun in the sky again.
"This...is snow??"
Tang Linghao and Gu Huatian couldn't help but frown.
It was snowing in June... and it was the first time they had ever seen it.
At this moment, on a border of the Tianming Continent.
The stench of blood rose to the sky.
Everywhere you look, there are the corpses of Tianming's frontier soldiers!
They were surrounded by an isolation formation set up by a hundred experts at the Void Refinement stage!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The soldiers guarding the borders of Tianming Continent were ambushed by Yunhai Continent! They didn't send out a single message!
After death, his soul was directly refined into the ghost flag within the great formation!
Finally, the entire territory fell silent!
Millions of bodies, piled up like mountains!
A Void Refinement stage expert from the Cloud Sea Continent, wearing a ghost mask, stood in mid-air, muttering something to himself!
The corpses, following his muttering, arranged themselves into an extremely bizarre pattern!
Then, a girl in red walked through the air, with no trace of spiritual energy around her, and she was like a puppet on strings.
The girl held a jade-colored dagger in her hand, gently cutting her own flesh.
"Ouch!! It hurts a little bit."
The girl kept cutting herself, inflicting wound after wound.
The blood didn't drip down; instead, it flew into the air!
She continued until she could no longer bleed.
The girl's hoarse voice was like a shrill summons!
"With my life as the catalyst, I will ignite the lifespan of heaven and earth!!!"
The girl's voice has just finished.
Suddenly, the dead border soldiers opened their eyes and made a strange gesture with their hands!
It seemed like a curse, yet it also seemed like a demand for something!
Moments later, the corpses suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, which then evaporated!
The girl was completely lifeless, her body falling limply from mid-air.
One, two, three snowflakes fell from the sky!
At this moment, in the royal palace of the Cloud Sea Continent!
Inside a secluded palace, hundreds of cultivators at the Void Refinement stage sat cross-legged with their eyes closed.
Among them was also a dead girl in red!
His body was covered in wounds, and he had bled to death!
An old Taoist priest nodded and walked towards Emperor Yunhai.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Burning Life Formation is complete! Within two months, the Tianming Continent will surely perish!"
Emperor Yunhai nodded in satisfaction, his eyes gleaming with greed.
"Grand Preceptor, this matter must not be allowed to go wrong! These cultivators are the very foundation of our Taiyunhai Continent!!!"
The old Taoist priest smiled and agreed!
Two months is enough!
Unless, a miracle occurs!! However, the Tianming Continent, which doesn't even have a Nascent Soul stage expert, probably won't last two months!
They will then be completely enslaved by the Cloud Sea Continent!
Then we'll slaughter all their cultivators! The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is finite!
Too many cultivators are actually not a good thing!
At this moment, the entire Tianming Continent was abuzz with discussion about the sudden heavy snowfall.
"What's going on? This snowfall is so strange!"
"Huh? Strange? This snow has been falling for a whole day and night..."
However, the snow did not stop because of people's discussions.
Three days, five days, seven days, until a month later!
In Meilin City, Zhongzhou, an official rushed to the city lord's mansion!
"Lord City Lord, for some unknown reason, the death toll in the city this month is more than double the usual amount..."
The portly city lord, Lu Lin, wiped his mouth and said impatiently.
"Who were these people who died? Has the cause of death been investigated?"
The official said with a frown.
"The cause of death...those people were all elderly, or some were patients..."
Lu Lin was startled.
"Could it be... the plague...?"
The official was even more confused upon hearing the word "plague".
"Lord, we can't find anything on those bodies. They seem to have all died of natural causes..."
"Some people lost their homes because the houses suddenly collapsed... perhaps due to years of disrepair..."
Before Su Li and his two companions even arrived at the Ancient Pill Hall, news of one thing after another began to arrive.
One piece of news in particular forced Su Li to stop in his tracks.
That was a message from Chu Tianya, the patriarch of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
"Su Li, I can feel my lifespan draining away faster."
The tone of the transmitted message was anxious and filled with barely concealed fear.
I thought that reaching the Refinement of Void realm would increase my lifespan by several hundred years, but for some reason, my lifespan is suddenly being consumed at an accelerated pace!
Su Li frowned and looked at Gu Huatian.
"Old man, how have you been feeling lately?"
Gu Huatian turned his face, and Su Li almost cried out in surprise.
She hadn't looked closely these past few days, but a faint wrinkle had appeared on Gu Huatian's face.
"Tang Lingmo, come here. Is Old Gu... is he...?"
Tang Lingmo glanced at it twice and nodded in surprise.
Gu Huatian pondered for a while, found an open space, and began to carefully observe his inner self.
Su Li called upon the ancient book of the primordial era in his sea of consciousness, asking it if he had any unusual behavior.
After a long pause, the ancient book of the Primordial Era finally said that Su Li's body was not abnormal.
Gu Huatian's divine sense carefully scanned every part of his body, his meridians, his blood, and his heart!
After a full hour, Gu Huatian opened his eyes, fine beads of sweat on his temples.
Gu Huatian looked at Su Li.
"There's nothing wrong with our bodies, but it seems like all our organs are being worn down faster..."
"It's like...time is speeding up...lifespan is...decreasing..."
Su Li squinted and looked into the distance, where a funeral procession was taking place.
I kept recalling the people I had met along the way.
"Twenty-seven!!"
Su Li stated a number.
Tang Lingmo and Gu Huatian both looked at Su Li in confusion.
"What, twenty-seven?"
Su Li pointed to the funeral procession.
"We encountered a total of twenty-seven funeral processions along the way..."
Gu Huatian couldn't help but open his mouth.
He had a gut feeling that the number was a bit too much.
Looking at the seemingly endless falling snow in the sky, Su Li came to a very strange yet very reasonable conclusion.
"This snow is poison! Contact with this snow will burn away everyone's lifespan..."
Boom! A thatched hut in the distance suddenly collapsed, and cries of pain came from inside!
Su Li casually waved his hand, and the thatched hut was lifted, from which an elderly couple crawled out!
Su Li's eyes narrowed slightly; something was amiss.
She looked at Tang Lingmo and Gu Huatian.
"Wait a minute, I need to verify something!"
Su Li casually tossed a few spirit stones on the ground, and a small spirit-gathering array was set up!
Afterwards, Su Li sat down inside the Spirit Gathering Array. A quarter of an hour later, Su Li opened his eyes, somewhat taken aback.
"This snow can corrode buildings! It can accelerate the consumption of spirit stones in formations! Most terrifyingly, this snow can burn away lifespan!!"
After hearing what Su Li said, Gu Huatian couldn't help but open his mouth, too shocked to speak.
"How is this possible... Even a master at the Refinement of Spirit stage... couldn't possibly possess such ability..."
That's the entire Tianming Continent... How much spiritual energy would it take to burn through the lifespan of the entire Tianming Continent...?
It is an array, but how terrifying must this array be...?
Gu Huatian's expression suddenly became much more serious. He took out the communication stone, thought about it, and then felt that this would not work.
Then, he actually bowed to Su Li.
“Vice Sect Master Su, would you be willing to come with me to the capital of Tianming Continent?”
This matter is of utmost importance and must be reported to the royal family of Tianming Continent for handling!
