“What?”

“The smell of...the holy water is quite weird!”

“It tastes terrible!”

Many apprentices of the Sage Sect were drinking the water of the Holy Water River with cups created by their Celestial Core Power. Suddenly, all of them frowned. It seemed the taste of the water was not as good as they had expected!

“Wait! This tastes like urine!” An apprentice yelled, his eyes wide in surprise. The other people fixed their eyes on him, puzzled. Several deacons at the Golden Celestial Stage glared at him. The apprentice realized he had said something inappropriate by describing the holy water as urine in front of the deacons. How reckless he was!

Flop!

Instantly, the apprentice dropped on his knees and said with dread, “What I said is wrong! Please forgive my mistake!”

“Humph! How ignorant you are!” One deacon snorted and ignored the apprentice. He looked at the Holy Water River and said calmly, “The holy water comes from the Snow Fog Mountain. After prolonged sedimentation, it tastes very ancient. You need to taste it carefully. The way you are drinking it is a reckless waste of grain!”

“What you said is correct! I know nothing about ancient waters. What I said just now was a slip of the tongue!” That apprentice replied, as he smiled wryly to himself. The holy water he drank just now really tasted like urine. However, it also tasted ancient.

“OK. Now, you can start your cultivation here. We will activate the restrictive spell after leaving here. After 50 years, we will come here to send you away.” After saying that, the deacons at the Golden Celestial Stage turned around and left. The apprentices followed them with their eyes reverently. Then they sat down beside the Holy Water River with their legs crossed to start their cultivation. 50 years could be deemed as a long period. However, to perform cultivation beside the Holy Water River was a precious opportunity for them. None of them wanted to waste even one second here.

.....

At this moment, the mountaintop outside of Snow Fog City was covered in snow. Three people and one dog were standing outside an ice palace. The palace hadn’t shown up at the beginning. When they walked up along the waterfall, this ice palace appeared in front of them suddenly. It was a cloaking Array, which was not very masterfully done. Anyone who walked along the river would be able to go into the Array and find the palace.

“Little brat, most Celestial Core Power in this area comes from this palace!” Buttface said with a smile as he looked at this majestic palace. Everyone knew the dense Celestial Core Power came from that waterfall. Ordinary water would never give off Celestial Core Power. Apparently, the water in the waterfall was the origin. The waterfall originated from this palace, which meant something precious was hidden in it.

“Isn’t it inappropriate for us to break into this palace? After all, it belongs to somebody!” Mo Junchen said hesitantly at this time. He was not a pedantic man who was particular about etiquette and justice. The thing that worried him was that they were about to break into a majestic palace in the Heaven Continent. This palace could have been built by a big shot who was much more powerful than him. Even if the big shot was not in the palace, they would have to pay a price for their intrusion in the future.

“Guardian Mo, you are wrong! The Exploding Heavens Faction represents a just cause and maintains world peace. It is quite normal for us to requisition this palace. I believe the owner of the palace will understand us!” Buttface lied through his teeth.

Mo Junchen ignored Buttface and turned to Xu Que. He was waiting for Xu Que’s decision. However, Xu Que was in a daze at this moment for this palace was so familiar to him. He had seen this palace under the Celestial Burial Valley in the Four Great Continents. The woman who was lying in an ice coffin had been placed in a palace. That palace was almost identical with this one, except for a very few differences in details. Besides the similar appearance, Xu Que could also sense a faint but familiar aura in this palace, which seemed like it came from Xuanyuan Wanrong! Apparently, that woman must have stayed here for a long time. However, she had left this place long ago. That was why her aura was so faint at this moment.

“Little brat, say something, why are you in a daze?” Buttface shouted at this moment. Duan Jiude squinted his eyes and said as he smiled at Xu Que, “This palace is majestic. But I didn’t think it would stun you for so long a time!”

“Right! Today, I will definitely go into this palace and have a look!” Buttface said resolutely. Nobody could stop him from obtaining precious items in this palace.

“Hey!” Xu Que touched his nose and said with a thoughtful smile, “Do you remember the Celestial Burial Valley?”

“The Celestial Burial Valley? What...do you want to say?” Buttface and Duan Jiude were stunned, for that horrible woman could still make them shudder with fear. Although they had never asked Xu Que how he had managed to escape, they didn’t dare to underestimate that woman because they knew she was extremely powerful. But why did Xu Que mention the things that happened in the Celestial Burial Valley? Buttface and Duan Jiude looked at Xu Que with puzzlement.

Xu Que said with a smile as he pointed at the palace, “I saw a similar palace under the Celestial Burial Valley. That awful woman was sleeping in it. Now, I also sense a strand of aura of that woman when I stand outside this palace. Apparently, this place might also belong to her!” After saying that, Xu Que smiled even harder. If this place belonged to Xuanyuan Wanrong, it would be totally safe for him to enter. After all, according to the rule of the Taiyi Heaven Book, when Xuanyuan Wanrong wrote down her name and Xu Que’s name in it, they had become cultivation companions. It was quite appropriate for him to take anything from the home of his cultivation companion.

“What?”

“Holy sh*t! Is...this the home of that woman?”

Buttface and Duan Jiude’s expressions changed. Apparently, that horrible woman had left psychological shadows in their hearts. When they had reached the Heaven Continent, they still felt frightened. They had met many powerhouses in the Heaven Continent in the past several years. However, they had never met anyone who was as powerful as her!

“Yes, it is highly possible! Well, do you have any ideas?” Xu Que asked with great interest.

“Ideas? No! I don’t want to have any ideas about her for the rest of my life! I think what Guardian Mo said was right. This place belongs to somebody, and we can’t break into it!” Buttface changed his mind and refused to enter the palace resolutely. Duan Jiude also nodded his head. No matter how reckless they were normally, they knew they couldn’t afford to offend that woman.

Mo Junchen was totally confused for he didn’t know the woman and the Celestial Burial Valley mentioned by Buttface and Duan Jiude at all. However, he figured out that they had been totally intimidated by that woman according to the change in their attitudes. Now, Mo Junchen became more curious. When Buttface and Duan Jiude met him for the first time, they didn’t take him, a cultivator at the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage, seriously. Now, they were totally intimidated by the owner of this palace, which meant this owner must be very powerful and mysterious!

“Hey! I didn’t expect the two of you could be intimidated by someone! Don’t worry! That woman won’t come out now. She will stay in her coffin for at least several hundred years! This place is totally safe for us!” Xu Que said with a smile. When he was about to walk forward, an idea occurred to him. He stopped and turned to Buttface and Duan Jiude and asked, furrowing his eyebrows, “Wait! Do you still remember the name of the woman’s sect mentioned by her when she was about to accept me as her apprentice?”
