Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

The white-haired boy blinked: "Isn't this a very exaggerated legend from the Far Eastern Snowfield?"

Upon hearing this, Jueying chuckled and then cast a teasing glance at Yunping: "You can ask your master whether the Yantian Well of Luotian Mountain is a legend or a fiction."

"……teacher?"

Noticing Gu Xingzhuo's gaze, Yun Ping shook his head helplessly: "The Well of Heavenly Manifestation does exist, as does Mount Luotian. However, Mount Luotian does not appear once every thousand years. It's just that very few people have seen it, so the frequency of its appearance has been exaggerated."

Ye Yuchan finally understood what Yunping meant: "So, you old rogue, you also went to see that well?"

When the matter was brought up, Yunping's expression turned slightly unpleasant.

Jueying answered on Yunping's behalf: "He not only went to see that well, but he almost smashed it down..."

"...Why..." Ye Yuchan and the other two looked at Yun Ping with great surprise and doubt.

"Because that well reflects the deaths of some people."

Jueying replied casually, without elaborating on who these so-called "some people" actually were.

However, it must be someone who has a close relationship with Yunping, which is why the old rogue was so angry that he wanted to smash the well on the spot.

After her gaze lingered on Yun Ping's unfriendly expression for a moment, Yu Chan gradually composed herself and continued, "So, Jue An... that crazed black dragon saw some images of Junior Sister Luo Kui in that Yantian Well, which is why he wanted Luo Kui dead?"

Jueying: "That's roughly it."

Gu Xingzhuo pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, his expression unusually solemn: "And just in case, they even went so far as to freeze the Northern Ice Palace... using the entire Northern Ice Palace to threaten Junior Sister Luo Kui..."

Jiang Shaoguang gasped: "Junior Sister Luo Kui is indeed very smart, but in some ways, she is also very bad at it."

Over the years, through his interactions with Fan Luokui, Jiang Shaoguang has come to know almost everything about this girl's personality.

Cold on the outside but warm on the inside, like myself, I tend to keep everything bottled up inside. I have a terrible sense of direction and sometimes I'm completely lacking in common sense. I'm incredibly honest, and because I'm so meddlesome, I'm even called a "city manager" by the lords of some towns in the Far East Snowfield...

Most importantly, they have an excessively exaggerated sense of responsibility.

Jiang Shaoguang could understand the idea of ​​wanting to take on everything himself, but he couldn't agree with it.

Especially this time.

The North Ice Palace was attacked by a black blizzard, not because the mad dragon wanted to completely destroy it.

This is a threat.

A threat to Fan Luokui.

If you want them to live, then you must take your own life.

They used such despicable and low-class methods.

Not only that mad dragon Jue An, but also the woman who was in charge of everything behind the scenes, wanted Fan Luo Kui dead.

Ironically, Fan Luokui was willing to die on her own initiative, just to exchange her life for the life of the entire Northern Ice Palace.

He saved the thousands of disciples of the Northern Ice Palace, the members of the Judgment Team he knew, and Fang Qingzhu, the Palace Master of the Northern Ice Palace...

[One life versus ten thousand lives, if it were you, senior brother, what would you choose?!]

As the image of those golden eyes gleaming amidst the swirling snowflakes echoed in his mind, Jiang Shaoguang felt a sharp, throbbing pain in his heart.

In the final battle, I was slightly outmatched.

Fan Luokui did not harm herself, but only knocked him unconscious, and then turned and disappeared into the cold blizzard.

One life versus ten thousand lives...

Jiang Shaoguang slowly closed his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then opened them again.

"So I've come here seeking help... I can't let my junior sister go to her death."

"Even though it was her own will."

……

Yunping remained silent for a long time.

A chilling, pitch-black wind swirled around him, gently ruffling his white robes and causing the dark hairs on his forehead to flutter.

"If it were you, you would make the same choice as Luo Kui, right?"

Jiang Shaoguang answered quickly without hesitation: "...If my life can save countless relatives, friends, and mentors, I would indeed choose to go and die willingly."

“You clearly agree with Luo Kui’s approach, yet you try to stop her.”

“Because of our different positions.” Jiang Shaoguang smiled faintly: “From my perspective, Luo Kui is more important than everyone in the entire Northern Ice Palace.”

Yunping narrowed his eyes: "That's a very selfish idea."

Jiang Shaoguang spread his hands and said, "Teacher, didn't you also say that people are always selfish? They just keep finding high-sounding reasons for their selfishness."

……

Jiang Shaoguang's determination was even stronger than Yun Ping had imagined.

He grinned, then patted Jiang Shaoguang on the shoulder with a smile. Without saying a word, he turned to look at his old friend Jueying: "Hey Xiao Hei, how many years has it been since you decided on a master for your inheritance?"

Jueying, of course, was aware of Yunping's thoughts. It gave a wry smile and said, "It must have been ten thousand years... I can't remember the exact time."

"Inheritance?"

Not to mention Jiang Shaoguang, Yu Chan and Gu Xingzhuo were also completely confused at this moment.

Yun Ping stared meaningfully at his disciple Jiang Shaoguang: "The Black Dragon King's legacy—if one inherits such a legacy, breaking through to the Saint Transcending Realm will not be difficult."

“Teacher…” Jiang Shaoguang was taken aback, then immediately understood Yun Ping’s words: “Aren’t you planning to take action yourself…?”

"Compared to me, you, as the senior brother, have spent more time with Luo Kui, haven't you?"

"You should be the one stopping her, not me."

Yun Ping chuckled lightly, but there was a chilling glint in his eyes: "However, I certainly won't be idle either..."

A cold glint appeared in his dead fish eyes. He turned to the side, staring at the huge, damaged opening in the cave, and said in a low voice, "There are some things that I will handle personally."

7. Shocking News

The jet-black, sharp teeth, resembling a crescent moon, were placed in Jiang Shaoguang's palm.

The surface of this tooth is incredibly smooth, its pure, natural black color shimmering with a faint light. It is about the size of a palm, and the sharpness of its tip is no less than any divine weapon in the world. It would be easy to pierce the body of a cultivator in the Void Transformation stage with this object.

Simply by placing this object in his palm, Jiang Shaoguang could feel an icy chill seep into his flesh and blood, rapidly circulating throughout his body via his meridians.

The hairs on his arms stood on end, and he stared at the black, sharp tooth in his palm with a strange and surprised expression, remaining silent for a long time.

Inside the Blackwater Abyss.

Yunping gently stroked the dragon horn of his friend Black Dragon King beside him, and then said to Jiang Shaoguang earnestly, "Shaoguang, the thing in your hand is a kind of inheritance that is unique in the world. It is different from the inheritance of saints or demigods hidden deep in the secret realm. To some extent, Black Dragon King's inheritance is its original power."

"To put it bluntly, the black dragon tooth in your hand is a part of Xiao Hei's soul."

The soul of the Black Dragon King!

Even Jiang Shaoguang, who had experienced many ups and downs over the years, couldn't help but feel a sense of dread in his palm, and felt an endless sense of awe for the black dragon tooth that didn't look particularly unusual.

The inheritance of the Black Dragon King's Shadow, in other words, once Jiang Shaoguang accepts this inheritance, the shackles that have been troubling him will be broken, and he will have enough ability and opportunity to break through to the Saint Realm.

Jiang Shaoguang does need power.

It wasn't for my own power, but so that I would have enough power to stop that idiot who wanted to commit suicide.

He stared intently at the black dragon tooth in his palm, hesitated for a moment, then clenched it in his hand and put it into his storage ring.

Seeing this, Yunping narrowed his dead fish eyes: "What, you don't plan to use it now? If you use it now, with Xiao Hei and me present, we can almost guarantee that you will successfully ascend to sainthood."

Jiang Shaoguang smiled and shook his head: "No rush, and I am confident that I can successfully become a Saint."

"..."

Yunping stared at Jiang Shaoguang, remained silent for a few seconds, and said nothing.

Faced with Yun Ping's strange gaze, Jiang Shaoguang felt as if something was spying on his heart, and his expression immediately changed, becoming somewhat flustered.

Fortunately, Yunping's silence and stare did not last long. As if joking, he patted Jiang Shaoguang on the shoulder again and smiled, "Alright, it's good to be confident."

"Ah."

Jiang Shaoguang nodded stiffly, but swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Ye Yuchan's gaze lingered between Jiang Shaoguang and Yun Ping—she always felt that the atmosphere between the master and disciple was somewhat subtle, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

I have a feeling that these two are hiding something from each other.

This sense of unease wasn't just felt by Ye Yuchan; in fact, Gu Xingzhuo also felt that Jiang Shaoguang's appearance was somewhat strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Finally, seemingly realizing this, Jiang Shaoguang took the initiative to ask:

"So, what does the teacher plan to do now?"

"I?"

"Hmm. Teacher said he doesn't plan to interfere in the duel between me and Junior Sister Luo Kui... In that case, Teacher, do you intend to go directly to that woman?"

Whenever that woman is mentioned.

The huge weight on Ye Yuchan's heart immediately lifted.

She didn't know why, but whenever the topic was related to Ye Xuanqiu, she would inexplicably become very nervous, as if she was afraid that something would be taken away from her.

"Not necessarily." However, Yunping's answer relieved Yuchan: "Right now, we need to go check that courtyard first—is it still possible to reach Luo Kui in time?"

“There’s still time. According to that mad dragon, it will be waiting for her at the bottom of the Jingli Abyss in the Far East Snowfield in ten days.”

"Jingliyuan?" Ye Yuchan heard a new term again.

Jueying let out a sigh, his voice full of helplessness: "It built its own nest... probably to distinguish it from my Blackwater Abyss, that's why it named itself Pure Abyss."

Ye Yuchan couldn't help but mutter, "It sounds like a rebellious kid who ran away from home..."

Jueying gave a wry smile: "In essence, there isn't much difference; it's just that it's currently controlled by that inexplicable chaos."

It's clear that Jueying's feelings at this moment are quite complicated.

His own younger brother was controlled by that chaos, which triggered a riot throughout the Blackwater Abyss. Now, most of his people are dead, and his only remaining relative is standing against him.

Furthermore, if the Black Abyss Emperor Ice is not reclaimed, the Black Dragon King himself may face death.

Ye Yuchan looked at the exhausted dragon head with some heartache, and after a long silence, she could only sigh helplessly.
