Chapter 15: The Day of the Great Cold

The fourth day of the twelfth month of the year of Ding You. The Great Cold.

The opposite pole of the cold. Mizusawa has a strong belly.

Meaning it's the coldest day of the year. The center of the lake can be frozen into ice.

The sun also lost its temperature on this day, and was blown by the wind and snow like a faint shadow.

On the day of the great cold, the wonders of ice, fog and snow waterfalls appeared in the holy area.

A white air stream rises from the icebergs and snow, like a waterfall of mist, on the top of a high mountain hidden in the mist. Like a majestic waterfall, it falls from a height of thousands of feet with an unstoppable momentum, bathes and washes the entire holy palace, and then pounces on the seven peaks surrounding the pillars that support the sky.

From afar, it looks like a snow dragon descending from the sky, wandering between the peaks of the Sanctuary.

"God bless the Sanctuary! God bless the Holy Venerable! ”

At the foot of the mountain, all the Sanctuary monks in the Red City were alarmed. When the white dragon that looked like ice mist and a snowy waterfall flew in the mountains, people's eyes were full of fanaticism, and they couldn't help but cheer.

They looked up in the direction of the peaks and waited. Until the qi dragon pounced on the red city from the mountain and annihilated them in it.

At this moment, the turbid qi between heaven and earth seemed to disappear, and a pure qi of heaven and earth enveloped the entire holy domain.

This is the most beneficial day of the year for cultivation in the Holy Domain. All Sanctuary monks can be baptized with the purest qi of heaven and earth. The growth of vitality in the body will also be several times that of usual. If you're lucky, you can even take your cultivation to the next level.

It had not been many years since there had been an ice mist and snow waterfall of this magnitude in the Sanctuary.

Summoning the Qi of Heaven and Earth is a spell unique to the Holy Venerable to communicate with the heavens. Every year on the day of the great cold, it is also the duty of the Holy Venerable to summon the qi of heaven and earth and help increase the cultivation of the monks of the Holy Realm.

Ever since Saint Venerable Nie Tianhong was seriously injured by Ling Shanzi, on the days of the Great Cold for seven consecutive years, the Ice Mist and Snow Waterfall that appeared in the Holy Land was extremely weak. Ying Jingjing bathed in the Holy Palace, and it was difficult to benefit even the Seven Palaces, let alone the Red City.

The Sanctuary was plunged into a gloomy atmosphere like never before. All the monks are praying for the blessing of the Holy Venerable, hoping that the Holy Lord will heal his injuries and then seek blessings for the Holy Land.

Seven years later, the Sanctuary waited for the sad news that the Holy Venerable had been killed.

The Sanctuary needs to have a new deity.

Before the former Old Saint Venerable returns to Heaven, he will select a disciple who has the ability to invoke the qi of heaven and earth among the disciples of the Sacred Palace in advance, and this disciple will succeed him as the new Saint Venerable.

Saint Venerable Nie Tianhong was accidentally killed. Among the thousand disciples of the Holy Palace, only Nie Youyou, the daughter of the Holy Venerable, could inspire the qi of heaven and earth. After the Lord of the Seven Palaces deliberated, he decided to establish Nie Youyou as the new Holy Venerable.

On the day of the Great Cold, the Qi of Heaven and Earth inspired by Nie Youyou appeared in front of all the disciples of the Holy Domain with a magnificent attitude. The scale of the ice mist and snow waterfall shows that Providence recognizes her. None of the monks in the Sanctuary questioned it.

The ice mist and snow waterfall like an air dragon strangely stopped at the wall of the Red City. The ground turned into a fine white cloud mist, enveloping the entire city.

From a distance, a white mist rises from this large city made of dark red boulders. The strange stone patterns on the boulder flickered faintly, and it seemed to be absorbing the qi of heaven and earth, reinforcing the prohibition on the city wall.

There was not a single sound in the sanctuary. All the monks were concentrating and sucking, increasing the vitality in their bodies.

This breath of utter holiness lasted for three hours.

After that, the white mist seemed to be attracted, and it surged towards the jade platform with eight pillars erected near the mountain peak of the red city.

The monks stopped cultivating and walked silently towards the jade platform.

The rest of the Qi of Heaven and Earth was concentrated here, tumbling and squeezing. Gradually, a fog mass with a diameter of about one foot was formed. The eight pillars on the jade platform lit up at the same time. The fog suspended in mid-air stopped spinning, like a flower, slowly blooming.

The moment this huge mist flower bloomed, it emitted a bright but not dazzling brilliance.

The sky is clear.

The sky above the Red City was like a pure lake-blue satin, and there was not a trace of clouds and mist in sight.

The orange sun hangs high in the sky. The crystal palace on the ice peak appeared unobstructed. The white stone is the pillar, and the crystal is the material. Casting ever-changing colors in the sunlight.

The holy palace is hidden in the ice and snow clouds all the year round, and it is easy not to show its true face. Being able to see the true face of the Sacred Palace is a blessing from heaven for the monks of the Holy Realm. All the monks gathered around the jade platform and prostrated themselves reverently.

There was music coming from the mountains. The music was sad, and countless Sanctuary monks wept when they heard it.

Under the shallow winter sun, a seven-colored rainbow bridge appeared in the sky. One end is on the gate of the Holy Palace, and the other end is on the white mist flower that blooms on the jade platform.

A group of people came from the Holy Palace on the Hongqiao.

At the forefront was a majestic old man with a white beard. The head of the seven halls, the golden palace lord Chi Yuxiao. He held a snake-headed cane in his hand, and bowl-sized frost flowers kept appearing from his hand, sprinkling them one after another.

Behind him, six hall masters carried a strange tree coffin. It looks like a large tree has been carved into the shape of a coffin. The tree is still alive, and there are still a few green leaves growing on the coffin.

Seeing the coffin, the faces of the Sanctuary monks all showed grief and indignation. Who would have thought that the Holy Venerable would die at the hands of a traitor.

The team stopped over the jade platform. The entire sanctuary fell into silent silence, and even weeping became silent tears.

In silence, Chi Yuxiao slowly spoke: "Send the Holy Venerable back to heaven!" ”

The six hall masters lowered the coffin.

The coffin fell gently among the blooming mist flowers. The mist flower formed by the Qi of Pure Heaven and Earth closed together and enveloped it. The eight pillars on the jade platform once again emitted a dazzling light.

A quarter of an hour passed.

The coffin floated silently in the white mist, without the slightest movement.

The monks around the Yutai couldn't help but shout in grief: "The Holy Venerable will not turn a blind eye to death, and will not return to heaven!" ”

"Is there something else going on? For thousands of years, the Palazzo Wings have never had a rebel. ”

"I heard that the winged guard has been carefully taught by the old Saint Venerable since he entered the Holy Palace, and he is the successor recognized by the Holy Venerable."

"What the hell is going on?"

"The Holy Venerable refuses to return to heaven, there must be an inside story!"

Chi Yuxiao exchanged glances with the six hall masters, and said with a calm face: "Quiet! The spirit of heaven and earth inspired by the saint is obvious to all. For thousands of years, each generation of the Holy Venerable has been able to invoke the qi of heaven and earth and seek benefits for all the monks in the Holy Domain. The establishment of the Holy Maiden as the new Holy Venerable, our Seven Guardian Hall Masters all agree. If you think about it, the old saint will not object. ”

The tree coffin in the fog still floated calmly.

Chi Yuxiao's heart welled up with irritability. People are dead, what do you want? Could it be that there really is a spirit in the sky? His scalp was numb, and the hand in his sleeve quietly pinched the law, and continued: "The Holy Domain will definitely capture the traitor who colluded with the Xuanmen to assassinate the Holy Venerable, find out the truth, and punish the traitor with the Nine Shadows to comfort the spirit of the Holy Venerable!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the coffin turned into a puffy green crystal plet as if it had been melted. The greenery is churning in the puck. The fog ball shrank smaller and smaller, and finally condensed into a fist-sized emerald jade bead.

Chi Yuxiao was stunned, scattered the magic trick in his hand, and breathed a long sigh of relief. He raised the snake vine staff in his hand: "Holy Venerable Return to Heaven!" ”

This scene was seen by everyone, and it was determined that it was the unfinished intention of the Holy Venerable to arrest the traitor and burn the sky.

"Avenge the Holy Venerable!"

"Swear to die as an enemy of Xuanmen!"

The entire red city boiled, and the hatred that rushed to the sky made this dark red city look hideous.

Just as the Xuanmen can absorb spiritual power from the spirit stones, the monks of the Sacred Realm can also directly absorb the vitality through the Yuan Jade Stone, which contains the essence of heaven and earth.

The jade beads condensed by the fusion of the body essence and the qi of heaven and earth that the Holy Venerable has cultivated for thousands of years are incomparably precious, even more than the Yuan Jade. It will only be passed on to the new Saint Venerable, so that he can inherit his own skills.

Chimei stretched out her hand, and the bead landed in his palm. He picked up the beads, flew to the gate of the Holy Palace with the Lord of the Six Palaces, knelt down on his knees, and raised the beads above his head: "Welcome to the new Holy Venerable!" ”

The monks of the city knelt in the direction of the holy palace and saluted.

The second brother of the Holy Palace Gate was wide open, and thousands of disciples of the Holy Palace walked out of the palace slowly with a plain-clothed woman and ascended to the jade platform in front of the palace.

It was too far away, and everyone couldn't see her face clearly, and they only felt that the new saint Venerable standing alone on the jade platform was dressed in white clothes and had an elegant bearing, as if he was about to step on the clouds.

Nie Youyou inserted the silver scepter representing the identity of the Holy Venerable into the jade platform, and pinched out the Dao Law in the air with both hands, and his voice was as soft as spring water, which made people listen to it very comfortably: "Nie Youyou succeeds to the throne today, pray to God to bless my holy domain!" ”

The emerald jade ball flew up from Chi Yuxiao's hand and embedded it into the silver scepter. In an instant, it was radiant, and the vibrant greenery enveloped the entire jade platform.

Suddenly, thousands of transparent birds flew out of the holy palace.

Seeing these birds condensed by the qi of heaven and earth, the red city boiled again. The stronger the new Saint Venerable's ability, the more Heaven and Earth Qi can summon. It is more beneficial to the cultivation of the cultivators of the Holy Realm.

The bird condensed by the qi of heaven and earth landed on the monks and melted into their bodies. The monks felt the increase in vitality in their bodies as if they were substantially. This is the reward of the new saint's ascension to the throne, and everyone in the holy realm who has received the blessing is proud of it.

The cheers of the Red City resounded in the sky. The Sanctuary ushered in a new Saint Venerable on the Day of the Great Cold.
