Song of Adolescence

Chapter 99 Meeting a Beauty on Great Snow

Beyond the outskirts of Beili, north of Buddhist country in the Western Regions, there was a great desert.

The entire desert did not grow a single blade of grass, and at a glance, appeared to go on infinitely. It was said that nine out of ten people who entered will die on the road, so this desert was also called the lifeless desert.

But once you cross the desert, you could reach a place.

That place snowed all year round and there were many snow-capped mountains and glaciers. It was said that in the evening, one could see colorful rays of light above the edges of the glaciers. It was praised by Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan as one of the three most beautiful sceneries in the world.

That place was called a realm of foreign lands, a heaven beyond heavens.

A group of men, a total of four people, trudged through the snow fighting against the cold wind. They came from thousands of miles away by horse, changed for camels outside the desert, and then all the camels died after they left the lifeless desert. They had to walk through the cold wind on foot. But where they were going, not a single person in the group had a specific answer in their minds.

"Wasn’t it supposed to be beyond the lifeless desert? That realm beyond this world, a heaven beyond heavens. But what is this neverending ice sheet? Normal people can’t possibly cross this ice sheet. We will soon lose all our strength, but if we stop walking, our body temperatures will drop quickly, our blood will freeze and we will die here." One of the big men wearing a black cloak took off his hood, and the cold wind swept his hair, leaving behind a layer of frost.

"But there is one fortunate point. As long as the climate here doesn\'t change drastically, our corpses will probably not decay for a few hundred years." A young man with a mustache beside the big man smiled. His beard had already been dyed white, and the frosting on it was clearly visible.

"So how did the people of Outerheaven cross this wasteland?" The thinnest young master, who was surrounded by the other men, suddenly spoke up. Compared to the people around him, he seemed a little too frail, but his eyes were extremely clear, as if he was not afraid of the snow and ice in front of him.

The big man replied, "It is said that Outerheaven has its own secret passage, which can avoid the lifeless desert and this ice sheet, and leads directly to their realm of foreign lands. But this road we’re taking doesn’t just lead to Outerheaven. It will also lead us to Langyue Paradise. All the martial arts secrets of Outerheaven are hidden in Langyue Paradise. There is no other way to get there besides hiking through this road."

The frail young master also took off his hood. He smiled and looked ahead at the invisible end. "Is Langyue Paradise at the end of this road?"

"Although this subordinate has never been there, it should be right. In fact, we should have gotten White-Haired Immortal to accompany us back then." The young man with a mustache frowned slightly as he looked ahead.

The frail young master chuckled. "Long Ye, are you blaming me?"

The young man named Long Ye shook his head. "This subordinate just feels that the young master should not take this risk. Outerheaven has agreed to work with us, so why bother with a young man?"

"A young man? You mean the seventeen-year-old who fought with Jin Xian Gonggong to a draw, settled the chaos in Outerheaven within a month, and who was wanted by the imperial court, Snow Moon City, Unrivaled City, the Western Region bandits, and all Buddhist sects under Heaven yet couldn’t get him, that young man? You’re also a young man, but wouldn’t you want to meet him? I’m really looking forward to it." The frail young master pulled the hood over his head again. "I have come a thousand miles from Heavenly Revelations, and I’m at the end of my patience. Now, who amongst you can open the way for me?"

Next to the frail young master stood an exceptionally tall and burly man in a black robe. He carried a titan blade as big as a door panel, and he looked at the horizon of the ice sheet thoughtfully. After a long time, he raised the titan blade in his hand and brought it down hard on the ground.

Within a few tens of zhang, a huge crack appeared instantly.

Long Ye couldn\'t help but slap his mouth. "Yan Sen, just look at how strong other people are. You grow so tall, but do you even have half of his strength?"

The big man named Yan Sen gave a cold snort, didn’t say a word, but he leaned down and put his hands on the ice. Suddenly his hands became red hot, and except for where they were standing, the surrounding ice within tens of zhang melted instantly.

Suddenly, Long Ye stretched out his hands and walked to the back of the group. He waved his left hand, swept up a gust of wind, and gently pushed forward.

Wind turning!

The piece of ice which the four were standing on rushed forward along the crack in an instant. The man in the black robe thrusted his titan blade at the bow, and continued to split the ice ahead of them. Yan Sen\'s hands were still pressed onto the ground, melting the top layer of ice. Long Ye pushed them forward continuously with one palm strike after another. The frail young master standing in the middle frowned slightly as he kept his eyes on the horizon of the ice sheet.

In fact, he was also curious. What if the horizon of the ice sheet was still an ice sheet instead of the legendary Langyue Paradise? Then, what are we going to do? Are we really going to die on this ice sheet that nobody knows about? Considering his status, he came thousands of miles for one person, and in the end, he didn’t get to see him, and died instead. If word of it got out, he would probably become a laughing stock in Heavenly Revelations City. Thinking of this, he couldn\'t help laughing.

"Long Ye, will we really die?" The frail young master suddenly asked.

"Maybe we will, but young master will not." Long Ye smiled.

"Why not?" The frail young master asked.

"Because, young master, you are going to be the emperor! How could you die in such a place?" Long Ye suddenly yelled, and his palms slammed hard. The speed of the four people advancing accelerated.

Suddenly, a ray of light shot towards them.

It was a light that penetrated the snow, fog and clouds, through thousands of miles of glacier ice, and suddenly shone onto this ice sheet. The light was blazing and brilliant, like a long flame.

"Is this the light at the end of the ice sheet? The ancient book "Classics of Mountains and Seas” has a record in it: human face, snake body, red in color, a thousand miles long, and the god of Zhongshan. They believe this light is actually the incarnation of a god. I didn’t expect I would see such a beautiful sight in this place." The frail young master sighed.

"Young master!" Yan Sen suddenly stood up, his huge figure blocking Long Ye, who had turned his head to get a glimpse of the face of the god of Zhongshan.

Long Ye said angrily, "Yan Sen, what are you doing?"

"Look, young master." Yan Sen looked to one side and saw that there was a snow-capped mountain. There was a cave about halfway up the snow-capped mountain. There seemed to be a white figure standing at the entrance of the cave.

"Are we there?" Long Ye immediately cheered up and waved his palm frantically ahead.

As they drew closer, they finally saw the figure clearly. He was a handsome man in a long white robe, and where the light crossed, where the snow was blowing, he held a candlestick. There were sparks burning above the candlestick as it flickered on the verge of going out, but did not extinguish. The man seemed to be muttering to himself.

"We’re here." The frail young master took off his hood and looked up at the figure in the white robe. "It\'s him."

That person seemed to have noticed them too. He took a few steps forward and leaned over to look down at the four people below.

With a smile, he still looked elegant beyond comparison.

The Outerheaven Sect Leader, Ye Anshi.

Also, that wicked monk of Snowy Peak Temple, Wuxin.
