Chapter 403 - Frozen Ancient Capital

It did not take a long time until Xia Zhongjin and Xia Zhongguang were both captured alive. But Sha Qishan managed to slip away. After all, he was an Imminent Deity level Qi Practitioner, and if he wanted to run, no one in the Bai Zhe Clan was strong enough to stop him.

However, Sha Qishan had lost most of the sharks under him. Thus, his power was significantly weakened, and it would take quite an amount of time before it returned.

“Have you all forgotten the rules set by the ancestors of you Bai Zhe Clan!?”

Xia Zhongjin shouted, "Bai Zhe Clan are not to meddle in the business of all races! This is the battle between Zhong Li Celestial Race and the humans! Bai Zhenhuang, it is against your clan's rules if you capture me!"

"You injured my little brother yet you dare to reason with us?" Bai Zhenhuang laughed.

He then said again, "We will definitely not interfere in a battle between your race and the humans, but how can I let it go after you entered the North Barren without permission and even injured me brother? Hmm?"

Xia Zhongguang on the other side smirked and replied immediately, "Bai Zhenhuang, it is fine if you stay away from the world, but if you take us as prisoners, I'm afraid that your entire clan will be dragged into this mess and even face destruction!"

Bai Zhenhuang then frowned and as he waved his hands, he ordered, "Throw him into the prison, cut off their limbs and tongues. Then, sew up their tongue, hurl them into a jar, and send them back to the Zhong Li Celestial Race."

In less than a second after he gave out his orders, someone from the Bai Zhe Clan's member hesitated and asked, "Clan master, don't you think it is slightly inappropriate to do so? We have been living in the North Barren without taking part in the development of the outside world for years. I'm afraid that if we offended the Zhong Li Celestial Race, then…."

“Then what?”

"All these years of peace was not gifted to us by the other races. It was earned by our Bai Zhen Clan through these five million years! We fought for it and secured peace for ourselves with our own blood and sweat and not by from the sympathy of the other races! Today, the Zhong Li Celestial Race think that we are sheep that can be slaughtered at any time. They entered our territory, injured and killed our people and if we do not do something about it, they might even dare to invade us tomorrow!"

Bai Zhenhuang then said coldly, "When Lord Bai stood up against Lord Xia in the old days, the two of them always stood on equal grounds. So why should Lord Bai descendants have to kneel before the Lord Xia descendants? If they want blood, then we will give them blood! Execute my orders immediately!"

Enraged and shocked, Xia Zhongjin and Xia Zhongguang shouted and scolded. But their words fell on deaf ears as Bai Zhenhuang smiled as he watched the two of them being dragged away. As the two of them disappeared from his sight, Bai Zhenhuang turned and looked at Zhong Yue as if he were looking at a precious treasure.

“And this handsome gentleman here is?”

“I am Zhong Yue from Zhong Shan Clan of the Swords Gate. Clan Master Bai, do you have any good girls with good personalities?”

The shocking words quickly stunned not only Bai Zhenhuang but also the other members of Bai Zhe Clan.

Zhong Yue then said seriously, "I am not a pervert, but I asked this for the sake of our races' posterity and the heritage of our bloodline. So, any good girls to recommend?"

“Of course, of course.”

Happiness struck Bai Zhenhuang from nowhere, and he quickly replied, "Canghai's sister is perfect in fact. And coincidentally, a few days ago, I was talking about finding her a good husband. Young man, how about you follow me to the Frozen Ancient Capital and take a good look at her? If both of you are fond of each other, then we can arrange a marriage!"

Bai Canghai immediately shouted, “No! Senior martial uncle, that is my sister….”

However, Bai Zhenhuang quickly covered Bai Canghai's mouth and said to Zhong Yue, "I think he has gone mad because of the sudden joy, please don't be unhappy with him. Let's go, let's go to the Frozen Ancient Capital. Canghai… You know that we Bai Zhe Clan's fertility has always been bad. It is not that bad for your sister to marry a human…."

“Why don’t you let her sister marry him then?” shouted Bai Canghai as he shook Bai Zhenhuang’s hand away.

“I want to, but she is too old already….” replied Bai Zhenhuang.

Zhong Yue then nodded and said, “Of course not the old ones, I still prefer… Shut up, give me back my body! Brat, what are you doing! I’m doing this to reproduce another generation of celestial race… No! I can’t accept marrying someone from another race… If you don’t try, you would never know….”

Without a word, Bai Zhenhuang and the members of Bai Zhe Clan were all shocked as from Zhong Yue's mouth came two different voices. Both of them seemed to be arguing with each and other, and suddenly, one of the voice said, "I am angry now, don't bother me anymore!"

Zhong Yue then returned to normal, and he apologized, "I am sorry for what happened just now … To be honest, I am here to solve senior martial brother Canghai's problem, not to get married. All of that was just a joke, please don't take it seriously."

Previously, it was Xin Huo that was fighting with Sha Qishan, Xia Zhongjin, and Xia Zhongguang. Zhong Yue knew that he was no match for the three of them, so he ceded control of his body over to Xin Huo while he acted as support by controlling the Golden Peng Sword with his soul.

In that battle, the both of them worked together, but Zhong Yue did very little; all he did was control the sword while Xin Huo fended the enemies off.

Undoubtedly, Xin Huo was very strong, and that caused Zhong Yue to be even more eager for the heritage of Xin Huo.

However, after being reliable for once in such a long time, Xin Huo immediately become unreliable once again. He quickly attempted to marry Zhong Yue so pass down the Fu Xi bloodline. Thus, Zhong Yue had no choice but to take over the control of his own body again.

Meanwhile, the jaws of the Bai Zhenhuang and the other members of Bai Zhe Clan fell onto the ground, and they all looked at him with blank stares.

Zhong Yue then said in embarrassment, "Clan Master Bai?"

As someone who had become magnate Qi Practitioners for years, Bai Zhenhuang and the others quickly recollected their thoughts, and when they looked at each other, they all thought, This Zhong Yue seems to have multiple personalities … Could it be that his mind was split when he cultivated the sixth wheel, just like Feng Xiaozhong?

Instantly, Bai Canghai shouted, "My sister cannot marry him!"

“Brother Canghai, don’t worry, I won’t marry her.”

Everyone seemed to confirm their thoughts in their mind after observing the sudden reversal from the arrogant and proud Zhong Yue to the polite young man. They all thought again, He is indeed as crazy as Feng Xiaozhong; at normal times, he behaves like a normal person but at other times … What a shame, the two geniuses of the human race have gone mad….

Meanwhile, in the Frozen Ancient Capital of the Bai Zhe Clan, old man Bai Zhenbei was taken away to have his wounds treated while Zhong Yue was treated as a distinguished guest. He was given one of the most luxurious palaces to stay in during his time here.

The North Barren was filled with exotic scenes; everything within the capital, the houses, taverns, towers, fences, and other buildings were made with black ice, and after all these years, they showed no sign of melting at all.

Zhong Yue took a close look at these buildings that possessed millions of years of history. He discovered that the reason why the ice showed no signs of melting was that the people of the Bai Zhe Clan had refined them from generation to generation.

As a race with low population, although the Frozen Ancient Capital was the saint city of the Bai Zhe Clan, the population in the city amounted to only about ten thousand. The snow beasts, however, possessed quite a large population in the city with the majority of them being Qi Practitioners that served under the Bai Zhe Clan.

Zhong Yue stayed in the Frozen Ancient Capital for the time being and cured Bai Canghai by teaching the【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】to him.

When Bai Canghai fully learned the【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】, Zhong Yue extracted a portion of his Pure Yang Qi and passed it to him.

After this, came the crucial and hardest part of the process, which was to stimulate the【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】to use the Pure Yang Qi to Yin Spirit. Right now, Bai Canghai's Yin Spirit had been cultivated to a very high level, and it now dwelled around Bai Canghai's heart. If he were not careful, then the Yin Spirit would erupt and devour Bai Canghai's heart!

In an even more extreme case, the Yin Spirit would devour Bai Canghai's Yuan Shen and turn him into a Yin Demon.

By Bai Canghai's side was Zhong Yue and Bai Zhenhuang. As Bai Zhenhuang used his Qi to protect Bai Canghai's heart, Zhong Yue would stimulate his Pure Yang Qi to protect Bai Canghai's psyche ocean and prevent the Yin Spirit from causing irreversible damage to him.

After ten days later, Bai Canghai finally managed to cast the【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】, extracted some Pure Yin Qi and turned the Qi into a moon in his psyche ocean. Unlike Zhong Yue's moon that came in the form of the Six-Eyed Star Toad, Bai Canghai's lunar was a serpent god.

“If someone worshipped it, it might turn into a moon spirit.”

Zhong Yue then laughed and said, "After cultivating my【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】, it will not take long until you completely get rid of the Yin Spirit and cure your hidden wounds. By that time, you will be able to control your Pure Yang Qi freely, thus, increasing your power. When you fully recover from your wound, just release my Pure Yang Qi, and I will retrieve it automatically."

It was beneficial for both sides as when Bai Canghai cultivated the【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】. The Pure Yang Qi would grow with the Pure Yin Qi, meaning that when the former returned to Zhong Yue, his strength would be increased as well.

Bai Canghai laughed and replied, "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother Zhong."

"I have to return to the Great Wilderness to see if the Swords Gate is still alright. You should stay here and cultivate. Treat your injuries in peace while I return to Swords Gate," said Zhong Yue.

Then, he walked out of the palace as he thought, I have completed the trade with old man Bai Zhenbei. I wonder how everything is going for Swords Gate. Will we be able to fend them off if the Zhong Li Celestial Race invades the Great Wilderness…?

As he was on his way out of the Frozen Ancient Capital, he came across an arena with ice pillars standing around the arena while a few of the Bai Zhe Clan's disciples were competing with each other in a friendly match. These disciples sat on the ice pillars without moving an inch at all as they fought each other with their inner cores while Bai Zhenhuang and the other magnate Qi Practitioners observed their battle.

Among the disciples, there was a young lady that was particularly striking. Her inner core shone with prismatic rays like a rainbow as various skills were unleashed through her inner core. Her moves were so meticulously planned that each time she struck, her moves connected together in a seamless chain that barely left anytime for her opponent to react.

Unconsciously, Zhong Yue stopped walking and started to spectate the battle among the Bai Zhe Clan's disciple.

Finally, the young lady defeated her opponent, and before she summoned her Yuan Shen back, she swallowed her inner core and got up as she paid her respects to everyone.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Zhong!"

Bai Zhenhuang laughed happily, and he said as he waved at Zhong Yue, "Mr. Zhong, how are the disciples of our Bai Zhe Clan? Come, Shuyue, this is Zhong Yue of the Zhong Shan Clan! If you are satisfied with him, then we can arrange the marriage today!"
