94 To the Beast Empire

"Ugh" Sheng Tian groaned in pain as he collapsed on the ground.

He realised that they were now in a passage.

Behind him was a large Ice slide with several cracks on it.

Sheng Tian tried to look further, but the area only had a dim light to begin with. Even with his enchanted sight, he couldn't see far.

All that greeted him was a dazzling light at the end of the narrow passage they were in.

'Guess we are saf...' he was about to lie down for a moment before an intense sense of danger rose in his mind.

With a whosh, he conjured a weak profound energy barrier protecting him and Leng Yue Yan.

The dim pink light in the passage was replaced by a sinister green gas. "Corpse Poison." cold sweat poured down his face as Sheng Tian muttered.

"We would have been done for." he shook his head.

With a thought, Sheng Tian threw a diamond ring, precious sword into the green gas.

"Whoosh."

The moment the green gas touched the diamond, it melted like candle turning into wax.

This was enough to shock Sheng Tian, but the next scene turned him speechless.

The precious sword that is made of a strange metal, is said to cut mountains and rivers, and claimed to be one of the strongest metals ever.

Yet the sword was like a clay statue drenched in the rain as it melted without resistance.

He sucked in a cold breath. Looking at the sleeping Leng Yue Yan in his embrace, he sighed.

'Looks like we can't stop.'

"Crack." the barrier formed with little of his remaining profound energy has already began to crack. The only reason it stayed intact till now was because of Sheng Tian's unique profound energy. Alas, but all it could do was delay the inevitable.

"Never thought the pitiful Body Cultivation could save my life." he smiled wryly and circulated the Celestial Body Tome.

The Laws of the Mythical World shook for a moment before Sheng Tian's started glowing with a faint light blue light.

His achievement in Body Cultivation is only at the third level of First Realm. Though his battle strength laid in the Second Realm, his improvement was too slow.

But when all his profound energy is used up, this pitiful strength came to rescue.

Sheng Tian decided then and there to improve his Body Cultivation at the same rate as his Energy Cultivation.

To reach the pinnacle and beyond, a Cultivator should never hesitate to take the hard decisions.

Sheng Tian's speed was very slow compared to his usual flashing Formless Void Steps.

Soon, a blinding light flashed indicating they reached the end of the passage.

Sheng Tian raised his head and saw the bright sun. Till now, all he could see was Twilight. There was no day or night.

So, why was there day time in Frozen Hell or was this still the same Frozen Hell?

He shook his head and observed the lush green grass fields ahead. There was no Ice. No Snow. It was like a bright spring's day.

Spreading his spirit sense, he sensed a wave of fatigue spreading to every fibre of his body. He knew his body was on the verge of collapse.

Holding the young woman tighter, he frantically searched for a place to rest and recover.

When the Imperishable Garuda exerted the pressure, Sheng Tian was severely injured. His bones were broken, internal organs shook and blood splattered everywhere.

However, the rush of adrenaline made him work all the way without much pain. One the adrenaline rush is over, what awaited him was unbearable and inhumane pain, countless times painful than the original pain.

His desperate search yielded result as he found an empty cave in a mountain nearby.

The injuries his body was holding suddenly erupted. With a pop sound, blood started flowing from all his muscles.

The result of overdrawing himself was clearly evident as a trail of blood was left. As he walked on the brown ground, his red footprints were deeply engraved into the ground.

Sheng Tian saw his blood shimmering on the ground. He knew the trail of blood could attract countless profound beasts.

Gritting his teeth, he diverted the blood trails to the passage near the mountain.

With the last of his energy spent, Sheng Tian staggered into the cave and collapsed on the cold surface.

Before he did, he turned around and fell on his back so that Leng Yue Yan would be on top o him and won't be injured.

A weakness permeated from every corner of his body and mind, as Sheng Tian fell into deep sleep.

In the Snow Glazed Lotus Realm, Xiao Lian rubbed her eyes.

"He is safe." she sighed in relief watching Sheng Tian on the floor. She held her head with her hands, and clenched her teeth feeling the cruel pain coming from her soul.

"I didn't expect the result to be so painful and now I can't even protect him. Damn Mu Fuxie!" she cursed and her consciousness faded before she collapsed on the meadows.

The Sun circled the sky before preparing to hide in the horizon. The Final Sun rays scattered and night fell.

It was an deathly silence. Even the wind made no sound.

In the cave, the eyelashes of Leng Yue Yan fluttered. She felt a warm feeling coming from under her. Hugging the body tighter, she wanted to sleep.

That is for a second, before her mind recalled the name "Frozen Hell."

Her eyes opened only to find a bloodied Sheng Tian sleeping. The ground below him was dyed red.

He stopeed bleeding, but his face was very pale.

His left arm wrapped around her waist, while his right hand gently held her head, as she rested on his chest.

A complicated expression formed on her face. She wanted to remember that he is a shameless person who took advantage of his relationship with Meng Xin. She wanted to tell herself he is a pervert who stole her kiss.

At this moment, however, she couldn't bother with all those things. She looked around with her spirit sense and realised that it was night. The cave was barren and only had a rough surface.

She gently escaped his embrace.

With a wave of her hand, a soft blue blanket appeared on her hand along with a white futon.

Looking at the things in her hand, a nostalgic expression flashed in Leng Yue Yan's eyes for a second before she arranged the futon.

She gently held Sheng Tian by waist and tried to lift him using the profound energy she just recovered.

Her lips twitched. 'Why is this fellow so heavy? Doesn't he look lean?'

Poor her, the Mythical Dragon Physique made Sheng Tian's body very strong. At the same time, his bones also increased in weight.

She realised she could barely move Sheng Tian with her weak strength. Gritting her teeth, she pushed all remaining profound energy and placed him on the futon.

With a weak sigh, she covered him with her favourite blanket. She scanned Sheng Tian's body and realised that the majority of his injuries were healed. Only a few major ones were still healing.

Sitting down cross-legged, she started to recover her strength.

They were in an unknown land. The only thing that could save them is their own strength.

Half an hour was like a breeze of wind as Leng Yue Yan continued to recover.

An hour passed and the blanket lightly shook.

Two hours passed.

An intoxicating smell assaulted his nose as Sheng Tian breathed in the feminine scent overwhelming his senses.

The image of a young woman emitting a chilling aura appeared in his mind inhaling the scent.

'Yes, it was her smell!' he exclaimed.

Sheng Tian opened his eyes, only to find himself in a cozy futon and a soft blanket covering him.

Though they were still a few wounds yet to be healed, he realised that their were many bandages covering them.

Tilting his head weakly to the see, his eyes widened in surprise.

A Young Woman was siting cross-legged. Her body shone with an intense blue light.

Yet her icy blue pupils were staring at him. Those eyes had a myriad of emotions he couldn't discern.

Relief, anger, coldness and shame...?

Puzzled, he tried to get up. However, a force pressed him down and forced him to stay on the futon.

"You are burnt out. Don't try to act bold. Rest now. I will punish you for hugging me later, you better not cry then." her cold voice sounded.

Listening to her words, his lips twitched.

If he didn't knew better, he would have thought that she was angry with his actions. Thankfully, he is able to understand the situation.

She wanted him to rest. And the punishment part? With her cold personality, should she thank him instead?

And he was clear she didn't mean about truly punishing him. Else, if she had any ill intentions or wanted to punish him, she had countless opportunities after she woke up.

With a light smile, he sank into deep meditation and his body started recovering at an astonishing rate.

He fell into deep sleep not just because of the injuries, but mainly because of breaking the limits of his body .

Sheng Tian's smiled widened as he sensed he broke through twice in the Body Cultivation.

He was now in the fifth level of the First Realm of Body Cultivation, or the fifth level in The Branch of Skies.

It is equivalent to theElementary Realm. Though the level is very low, the progress is the reward!

With the help of Primal Tree, Sheng Tian recovered at an astonishing rate and in an hour, he was back to his peak.

He also recovered that the barrier holding him from the ninth realm of Nascent Soul Realm has loosened.

Getting up, while holding the soft blue blanket, Sheng Tian smiled in glee.

If he still didn't know that it was her blanket and futon, he might as well go die jumping into a mug.

"Thanks." he heard her soft voice, but soon it turned cold "and so as repayment I allowed you to rest on the futon and enjoy the warmth of the blanket. We're even."

Sheng Tian's lips twitched at her words. Wait, weren't her words too shameless? 'Was she also infected by my shamelessness...' he thought.

He looked at her icy blue pupils and sighed. 'A Tsundere?'

Inhaling the fragrant smell from the futon, he acted like a gentle man and folded it along with the blanket.

Leng Yue Yan nodded her head. It seems that he knew at least how to maintain things. But his next action made her, the Ice Goddess lose cool.

With a snap of his fingers, he stored her futon and blanket in his storage ring and humbly smiled at her.

With a humble and polite tone, he said "This poor daoist will humbly accept your "Repayment. Your Futon and Blanket for saving your life, fair enough."

"You...." Leng Yue Yan opened her cold cherry lips to say something, but all she could say was "shameless!"

"Heh. As if you are not." he chuckled and waved his hand.

A Crystal bottle floated to Leng Yue Yan. In it was a glistening green liquid—Spring's Nectar!

There were three drops of it. He gave her half of the share as promised.

Leng Yue Yan stored the crystal bottle and snorted. She just called him shameless and he acted like an honest man by giving her the promised share. Wasn't this just trying to refute her words?

Shrugging, Sheng Tian went out to see the sun coming out of horizon.

"Staying here will be fruitless. We need to travel." he said, exiting the cave.

Leng Yue Yan followed begrudgingly, still brooding over the fact that he snatched her futon and blanket.

"Why don't we stay here and use the Spring's Nectar?" she said.

He smiled, "Once you consume it, you can't come out of cultivation for at least 24 hours. How are we going to protect ourselves if something happens? This area has no protection. We better not risk it."

"You have other plans, right?" she raised an eyebrow.

Sheng Tian raised his hands and shook his head "I just want to check out the Beast empire. Xiao Bai and Xiao Long bragged about it too much. I feel we will gain something big from there."

She looked at his honest expression and sighed. "And you want to check out the history of devils, don't you?"

She knew Sheng Tian didn't like to ask for trouble. But if he wanted to clash with someone, he would plan and prepare everything.

She could still remember that when Sheng Tian was collecting the Spring's Nectar from the pool, he placed several clusters of his profound energy in the pool.

He didn't specify why he did so. However, it was exactly that move which saved their lives.

When his movements are frozen from the Imperishable Garuda's pressure, it's his scheme of blasting the pool with his profound energy that shocked the creature.

This shock made it lower the pressure on Sheng Tian and he used that exact moment to escape.

From this planning and action, one could see how terrifying he is!

Sheng Tian didn't try to deny nor did he grew annoyed by her words, instead, his smiled widely and nodded "Yes. Exactly that. This Frozen Hell's Beast Empire has a longer history than the Royal Family and Sect.They ought to know something useful."

"Just for that? You know how dangerous it is." she tried to reason.

"Just? You know this is a one time chance. The devils might attack anytime. As for danger, I have everything planned." he smirked.

The Ice Goddess didn't nod or shake her head. Instead, she asked "Where is the Beast Empire?"

The smile on Sheng Tian's face froze and he waved his hands "We will figure it out. Just keep searching."

Leng Yue Yan covered her face with her palm and shook her head. 'I should have know better. This guy is half-crazy.' she thought.
