Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

According to insiders, the sky above Hunyuan Sect was blood red for seven consecutive days that day, and there was no sound at all.

But the Lord of Xueling Ruins did not stop.

In the following year, the four major demon sects in the Northern Territory were all destroyed, and countless demon monks were killed or injured!

Since then, the magic path has completely declined and has never caused any ripples again. Even during the war period among the five regions in the future, there was no sign of the magic cultivators in the Northern Region rising up.

The deeds of the Lord of Snow Spirit Ruins in wiping out the Northern Territory's demonic sect also made his name famous throughout the Northern Territory. For the first time, the Northern Territory's cultivators heard of the reputation and methods of the new Lord of Snow Spirit Ruins.

Some cultivators were impressed by his ability to single-handedly wipe out the evil ways and called him the Northern Territory Supreme. After the name “Supreme” spread, all major sects and dynasties in the Northern Territory recognized and respected his name.

Chapter 324: Chaos and Coma

This secluded peak.

Ao Qingyue came to the outside of the courtyard, looked at Yin Ci who was sitting on a rattan chair with his eyes closed and resting, and asked softly:

"Master hasn't come out of retreat yet?"

Yin Ci slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his lavender pupils: "No."

Ao Qingyue looked a little dazed when she heard this: "How badly was Master injured back then?"

She recalled what happened more than fifty years ago.

That year, Master single-handedly destroyed the four major demon sects in the Northern Territory and suppressed the evil path. People all called him the Supreme of the Northern Territory, but they didn't know that Master was seriously injured. After returning to Xueling Ruins, he began to retreat to heal his injuries. But now, more than 50 years have passed, and there is still no sign of him coming out.

Over the past fifty years, the Five Regions have undergone tremendous changes.

One day twelve years after the master defeated the demon, the boundaries of the five realms suddenly dissipated, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became more and more dense, and the five realms entered a golden age of cultivation!

But compared to calling it a prosperous age of cultivation, the cultivators of the Five Realms prefer to call it an unprecedented chaotic age!

Less than three years had passed since the boundary between the five regions disappeared. At the border between Zhongzhou and the Northern Region, a conflict broke out between cultivators over cultivation resources. The conflict escalated, leading to the two sects officially declaring war. Later, for unknown reasons, it affected the entire five regions and an unprecedented war broke out!

As far as the Northern Territory's world of cultivators is concerned, the Thirteen Hidden Clans took the lead in launching the attack, eliminating dissidents with lightning speed, occupying the entire Star-Moon Sea with absolute strength, and then began to occupy the eastern part of the Northern Territory.

After the Thirteen Hidden Clans took the lead, other sects and dynasties followed suit, and wars more chaotic than ever before broke out in various parts of the Northern Territory!

Amidst this chaos, the conflict in the southern part of the Northern Territory was the most serious.

There are top sects in the four places of East, West, North and Central in the Northern Territory that suppress one place each. The sects above them cannot even work together, so how can they compete with the top sects?

Therefore, no matter how chaotic those four places are, there will be a limit, and no cultivator dares to cross that bottom line!

But what about the southern region?

Without a top sect to suppress them, various forces are constantly fighting each other. Among them are heroes who want to unify the southern region and thereby become one of the top sects, and there are also secret spies from other regional sects and dynasties who want to disrupt the situation.

In addition to internal strife, the southern region, because it is close to the central, western and eastern regions, has to accept challenges from the monks of the three regions.

It can be said that the place with the most frequent wars, the most sacrifices of monks, and the most chaotic situation among the five regions today is none other than the southern part of the Northern Region!

In addition, the situation in the northern part of the Northern Territory is not optimistic.

Although there was a top sect like Xuelingxu to suppress them, Ao Qingyue and the others did not act rashly because their master was in seclusion.

Over the years, rumors have been flying around in the monastic community.

Some people said that the Lord of Xueling Ruins committed endless sins in his efforts to wipe out the evil ways, which angered heaven and caused him to die from being struck by five thunders when he was undergoing the calamity.

Some people also said that although the Lord of Xueling Ruins killed the leader of Hunyuan Sect, he himself was also left with indelible wounds of the Great Dao, and eventually died suddenly from the recurrence of old injuries.

Some people even speculated that the cultivation level of the Lord of Xueling Ruins had already reached the pinnacle and was not tolerated by the Five Realms, so he was forced to ascend to the fairyland by heaven's will.

Due to the silence from Xuelingxu, these rumors became more rampant and the remarks became more and more outrageous.

But there is one thing that all the cultivators believe, that is, the Northern Territory Supreme must have met with some serious accident, otherwise, with his powerful strength that wiped out all the demons in the world back then, it would be impossible for him to remain silent for many years without any action after the boundary wall of the five realms dissipated.

Ao Qingyue came and sat down next to Yin Ci: "Xuan Su hasn't come back yet?"

The master's exorcism of the demon caused a stir in the Snow Spirit Ruins. Xuan Su also learned from an elder afterwards that the master went out to stand up for her.

Although she was happy about her master's favor, she blamed herself when she saw that her master had been in seclusion for decades after his return, and was in a situation where he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Over the years, all the affairs of Xuelingxu have been managed by the three of them. Among them, Xuansu is mainly responsible for gathering intelligence from the five regions. She has been traveling frequently over the years and would only return to Xuelingxu once in a very long time.

Having been with this junior sister for many years, Ao Qingyue and Yin Ci naturally knew that Xuan Su was trying to escape. She had always felt guilty about what happened back then and was brooding over it, thinking that she was the one who had harmed her master.

Yin Ci shook his head gently: "Not back yet."

Ao Qingyue sighed when she heard this: "Master often says that among the three of us, you are the most thoughtful, but in my opinion, Xuan Su is the more thoughtful girl."

Yin Ci didn't say anything.

Seeing that she was not in the mood to talk, Ao Qingyue fell silent.

After sitting quietly for half an hour, Ao Qingyue stood up and left: "There are still things to deal with, I'm leaving first. If Master wakes up, remember to notify me as soon as possible."

Xuan Su is away all year round. Ao Qingyue and Yin Ci take turns handling the affairs of Xuelingxu, while the other is responsible for watching over the master on this secluded peak, looking forward to the day when he comes out of seclusion.

Night falls.

Someone else came to visit.

The person who came had white hair, blue eyes and a gentle temperament. It was Xueyue.

"Uncle Xueyue."

Yin Ci sensed her presence, opened his eyes and greeted her.

Xueyue came to the stone table with a box of spiritual food in her hand and put it down: "You haven't eaten for a few days, come and eat something."

Yin Ci shook his head gently: "Thank you for your kindness, Master. I'm not hungry yet."

When a cultivator reaches the fifth stage of unity, he can practice fasting, absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish his body, mind and soul.

Of course, as long as they are not in seclusion, many cultivators will still eat something every few days. In addition to satisfying their appetite, another reason is that eating spiritual food is more effective in nourishing the body and soul than simply absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Moreover, spiritual food is not like elixir. Like all medicines, it is poisonous. Taking too much elixir will be harmful to the body of the cultivator. However, spiritual food does not have this limitation. Although the effect is slightly worse than that of elixir, it is gentle and moistens things silently.

In the past, when the master was around, Ao Qingyue and the other two would often eat out. At that time, the cooking was entirely done by the clever and deft Xuan Su. But ever since the master went into seclusion, the three of them gradually lost interest.

Only when Master Xueyue brought spiritual food over would they eat some.

Xueyue looked at her, a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes: "Eat some."

Yin Ci looked at his uncle who looked a little pleading, and finally couldn't bear to refuse: "Well, thank you, uncle."

Xueyue then smiled and sat aside watching her finish the spiritual food she had brought.

At this moment, Yin Ci suddenly became drowsy. She turned her head with great effort and cast a puzzled and puzzled look at her master:

"Uncle..."

As soon as she said this, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Xueyue was prepared. She reached out to support her and carried her to the bed in the next room.

After covering Yin Ci with a blanket, Xue Yue looked at the child she had watched grow up with gentle eyes and said softly, "Have a good sleep."

After doing all this, she came to the secret room where the young man in white was in seclusion. She circulated the spiritual energy in her hands, and the door opened.

Xueyue stepped into the secret room.

Chapter 325 Blood Moon, Snow Moon

The secret room was dark and pitch dark.

But Xueyue's sight was not affected at all. After closing the door, her eyes were fixed on the center of the secret room.

In the center of the secret room, a young man in white was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, his face dead silent and his breath weak.

Xueyue walked over slowly and sat down in front of him. Her pair of ice-blue eyes were full of tenderness as she quietly looked at the young man in white in front of her.

"Junior brother, long time no see."

she said softly.

Counting the time, they haven't seen each other for more than fifty years. Although they are both in Xuelingxu, every time Xueyue comes to this secluded peak to visit him, she gets the news that he is still in seclusion.

Xueyue stretched out her slender white fingers, gently stroked the face of the young man in white, and said softly:

"You have been in seclusion for more than fifty years, and the boundary of the five realms has dissipated more than forty years ago."

"It's a good thing that you, Junior Brother, wiped out the Northern Territory's demonic sects back then. Otherwise, the Northern Territory today would most likely be like Zhongzhou, with demonic cultivators like the Four Great Demonic Cultivators of Zhongzhou emerging."

"However, although the demonic path has declined, the major forces are still fighting fiercely for territory and cultivation resources, especially in the southern region, which faces the three domains. There are cultivators dying almost every moment, and it has become a bloody battlefield."

"Junior brother, do you still remember those days..."

Xueyue spoke softly and said a lot.

Even though she knew that the young man in white might not be able to hear her, she still used this opportunity to express her longing for him.

She kept saying this for a few hours before she gradually calmed down.

At some point, a hint of redness appeared at the corners of Xueyue's eyes.

"Junior brother... you should have guessed it a long time ago..."

She was smiling, but two lines of tears slid down her cheeks, dripping onto her clothes and onto the ground.

"I... am the Master..."

Tears glistened in Xueyue's eyes, and her thoughts vaguely returned to that day more than a hundred years ago.

In a room of Aoxue Palace.

On the bed, the girl with disheveled white hair slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were icy blue, revealing innocence and ignorance.

The first thing she saw after opening her eyes was a cold and melancholy woman sitting beside the bed.

Seeing the girl wake up, the cold woman opened her thin lips and said, "My name is Blood Moon. Since you are the incarnation of a split soul, you shall be named... Snow Moon."

Since then, there has been a lively girl named Xueyue on Aoxue Peak.

Unlike other cultivators in Xuelingxu, Xueyue hates practicing. Compared to the boring and tedious practice, she prefers to make and taste delicious food by herself, walk around and see the scenery, read some interesting and bizarre stories, and more...

Anyway, apart from practicing, she likes everything!

Just like that, after spending more than forty years happily in Xuelingxu, Xueyue finally met her junior fellow apprentice!

The master accepted a disciple, and he was a very handsome young man, even more beautiful than a girl.

The moment Xueyue saw the boy, she fell in love with him.

It’s not the liking for food, it’s not the liking for scenery, and it’s not the liking for books, but a unique and indescribable wonderful emotion.

Xueyue liked that feeling very much. She looked forward to meeting her junior brother almost every day, and would sneak out to play with him whenever she had time.

The years she spent playing with her junior brother were happier than all the previous decades combined, and just when Xueyue thought that time would just pass like this and she and her junior brother would stay like this forever.

The Master has left...

The night before the meeting with the peak master elder, Xueyue learned everything from her master and recalled the memories she had forgotten.

It turns out that decades ago, Master Cang Xuan had already deduced and predicted the boy's future. At that time, Xue Lingxu's lord Xue Yue had a master-disciple relationship with the boy. If she was willing to entrust all her cultivation to the boy, then Xue Lingxu would have no worries, and the five regions would have ended the war and ushered in peace many years in advance.

When Xueyue first heard the news, he was so shocked that he almost lost consciousness.

Even among all the previous Lords of Snow Spirit Ruins, her talent and strength can be ranked in the top ten, otherwise she would not have been promoted to the peak of the Ninth Realm and become the Lord of Snow Spirit Ruins at such a young age.

It can be said that in fifty years at most, she will be able to overcome the calamity, become an immortal, and ascend to the upper realm!

But at this time, Master Cang Xuan told her that she needed to give up the temptation of eternal life by ascending to become an immortal, and pass on all her life's cultivation to a boy who has not yet been born!

How could this not shock her, how could this not make her lose her mind!

But Xueyue struggled with her thoughts for several years, and finally accepted it. In fact, she was not doing this for the sentient beings of the Five Realms, but for the Xueling Ruins that had nurtured her till now. Maintaining the prosperity of the Taoist tradition was something that every ruins master had to do.

Even True Man Cang Xuan gave up ascending to heaven and stayed in the Northern Territory for a thousand years just to find a way to redeem Xueling Ruins and the Five Territories. Naturally, she, the Lord of the Ruins, cannot escape!

But out of some emotion, Blood Moon still refined an incarnation and integrated part of his soul into it.

Anyway, she didn't want to ascend to the upper realm. The loss of her soul had no effect on her. It would be better to let another self live on in her place. With the protection of Xuelingxu, she could live a worry-free life.

The Blood Moon and the Snow Moon seem to be the difference between the original body and the clone, but in fact they are the same person, just with different sides.

As the blood moon passed away, her memories began to revive in Xueyue's mind. Xueyue then realized that her carefree life over the years was all because of her master. No, it was all because of another self.

In her memory, Xueyue could see that Xueyue was brought back to Xuelingxu to practice since she was a child. Her master was old-fashioned and serious, which made her entire practice career extremely depressed and boring.
