Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 304, Chapter 305

After traveling day and night, Gu Shihan finally arrived at the place where the ice lotus grows.

But just as she was overjoyed, she was surprised to find that there was an incredibly powerful snow beast guarding the Ice Lotus, and that it was a pipe dream to try and take the Ice Lotus easily.

Faced with such a thorny situation, Gu Shihan couldn't help but fall into a deep dilemma, muttering to herself, "What should I do? I'm all alone now, the space is closed, Yu Tong is asleep, and I'm a bit lacking in strength!"

Just as she was in a dilemma, suddenly, her dantian shook. Was the space upgrade completed?
Xingbai exited the space immediately, and only then did he emerge. "Hanhan, the space upgrade is complete!"

"Great, Xingbai!" Gu Shihan smiled, it seems her luck wasn't bad after all!

Yu Tong, who had been in a deep sleep, has also woken up. Now she is a beautiful young woman, and her red dress makes her look even more charming.

"Hanhan, what's going on?"

“Xingbai, Yutong, I’m here to retrieve the Ice Lotus. Someone told me I need the Ice Lotus and Dragon Scales to change my luck. Did you see that snow beast? It’s a bit difficult to deal with,” Gu Nansheng said, frowning.

"Hanhan, don't worry, this is actually easy to solve. You and Yutong are responsible for holding off that ferocious snow beast from the front and trying to stall it for time."

I seized the opportunity to sneak into the rear and quickly retrieve the invaluable Ice Lotus. Once we had the Ice Lotus, we retreated at full speed without hesitation, determined not to give the snow beast any chance to retaliate.

By the way, speaking of dragon scales, didn't you already have some? Then there's no need to bother with them anymore!

Yu Tong was overjoyed. She hadn't stretched her muscles in a long time, and she said impatiently, "Sister, let's hurry up and get the Ice Lotus!"

Gu Shihan nodded slightly, gripping the Seven Star Silk Sound Sword tightly in her hand, instantly unleashing a powerful aura.

With a crisp sword cry, an incomparably sharp sword aura shot out like lightning, hurtling straight toward the ferocious snow beast.

Yu Tong was not to be outdone. With a delicate shout, she swung her red fire sword, which was burning with raging flames, and a scorching sword light, like a fire dragon emerging from the abyss, slashed down fiercely at the snow beast with the force of a thunderbolt.

In an instant, the fierce battle officially began...

In just a few moves, Xingbai picked three ice lotuses and quickly retreated. "Hanhan, retreat quickly, the snow beast's reinforcements have arrived."

Gu Shihan and Yu Tong feinted an attack, then turned and teleported away, leaving the snow beast raging and beating around wildly.

The three quickly met up, and Xingbai said happily, "Hanhan, congratulations! If that person's method works, then we won't have to worry about what might happen in the future anymore!"

Gu Shihan nodded slightly, but there was still a hint of uncertainty in her eyes: "I don't know what the final result will be, but since there is a way to try, it can't hurt. Once we have everything, we'll just wait for the night of the full moon."

The night of the full moon arrived as scheduled. The bright moon in the sky hung high like a silver plate, casting a cool and soft glow.

Following the instructions he had received, Gu Shihan meticulously set up the formation.

After everything was ready, she slowly stepped into the formation, took out the snow lotus, used her own immortal spiritual power to knead it into juice, and swallowed it without hesitation.

He gripped the dragon scale tightly in his hand and began to refine it with complete concentration.

As time passed, a faint, barely visible halo gradually appeared around Gu Shihan.

The halo was initially very faint, but it grew brighter and brighter as the refining process progressed. When the halo finally dissipated completely, Gu Shihan suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of ease wash over her.

The feeling of constraint that had been lingering around her seemed to vanish without a trace in an instant.

Seeing this, Yu Tong, who had been watching anxiously from the side, quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Sister, you look much better than before, you seem so radiant! Do you feel anything special right now?"

Gu Shihan smiled and replied, "Yes, that's true. I feel like the shackles I've been carrying for so long have suddenly loosened, and I feel so relaxed and at ease."

Just then, before Xing Bai could finish speaking, she suddenly screamed in alarm, "Hanhan, something's wrong! Look, your task panel has reappeared!"

Gu Shihan was taken aback, and quickly looked closely. Sure enough, the panel reappeared, and there was a new task, but this time there was a reward for completing the task.

"To save the immortal realm, one hundred million human lives, ninety million demon lives, ninety million monster lives, and twenty million other lives will be awarded. Success in the mission will grant you godhood, while failure will result in your annihilation."

"What the hell?" Gu Shihan swore.

"Hanhan, what should we do?" Xingbai asked.

"Let's go back and find our senior brothers." As soon as they stepped out of the frigid land, they immediately sensed something was wrong.

“There’s something wrong with the immortal energy,” Xingbai said.

Gu Shihan sensed it and realized there was indeed a problem. Originally, she had an abundance of immortal spiritual energy that she couldn't use up, but now it was dropping rapidly, just like a person who was about to die, with their energy getting weaker and weaker.

Many places that were once full of vitality and spirit have now become desolate wastelands devoid of spirit, quiet and still.

Even more frightening is that some continental plates have begun to crack, as if the pillars supporting the world have suddenly lost their strength.

At this time, all sorts of rumors about the impending apocalypse spread like wildfire, throwing the entire immortal realm into chaos.

Even the Nine Heavens, which are high above and symbolize absolute authority, could not escape this time and were surrounded by a bunch of crises.

Gu Shihan was extremely anxious and quickened her pace to return. Along the way, she encountered many immortals fleeing in panic, and even some demons and monsters mixed in with them.

She realized that the situation was more serious than she had imagined. When she returned to her senior brothers and the others, everyone looked quite solemn.

Gu Shihan briefly recounted her experiences in the frigid land and her new mission.

After a moment of contemplation, the senior brother said, "It seems that the decline of the Immortal Realm has reached a critical point. We must act as soon as possible."

They convened representatives from various factions to discuss countermeasures. However, opinions differed, and no consensus was reached.

Some advocated sacrificing certain areas to protect the overall situation, while others firmly disagreed.

At this moment, Gu Shihan stepped forward: "Everyone, although I don't know if I can successfully save the Immortal Realm, I am willing to try. If we succeed, we will share the rewards; if we fail, I will bear the consequences alone. But in the meantime, I hope everyone will work together to stabilize the situation and not panic."

Moved by her courage, everyone reached a temporary consensus. Gu Shihan, along with Xingbai and Yutong, began traveling around to gather more clues about the root cause of the Immortal Realm's decline.
