Chapter 142
Chapter 142
The Ice Castle is the top of the Sleepless Mountain that was cut off by the Stone Plate of Heaven and Earth. It floats in the air and there are many stories behind its formation.
A powerful barrier wraps around the ice castle, like a crystal ball, a vast white land wrapped in ice all year round.
The flow of time in the Ice Castle seems to be frozen and is extremely slow. As the saying goes, one day in the Ice Castle is one year in the real world, so the lifespan of the people in the Ice Castle is very long, as if they are immortal.
Mu Liqing's original name was Zichu. He was Zijin's half-brother, and they were like twin siblings. They had a very good relationship.
As a younger sister, Zijin is more mature, stable and considerate of the overall situation than Zichu. As one of the ten people protecting the ship, Zijin's initiative to volunteer has become one of the important factors in the separation of brothers and sisters for so many years.
Mu Liqing looked at his right hand which was covered with traces of time, then raised his head to gaze at the bright moon hanging in the sky. In the past, it was so close and so big in his hometown, as if he could reach out and touch it, but now it is so far away that he can hardly see it clearly.
"Zijin, you are going here to follow the will of heaven. You are the son of the Holy Father, so you should understand this better."
"But elder, my sister is not good at fighting. Even if she is recognized by Qian Jian, how can she defeat the Demon Lord? Why not let Zichu go..."
"What's the point of you going to this battle between heaven and earth?"
"Elder..."
When he learned that Zijin was going to the war, he wanted to go in place of Zijin, but the elder rejected his request and finally had to agree to let Zijin go.
When the elders allowed him to go down to the mortal world to look for Zi Jin, it was only a casual permission. The mission given to him was to find the long-missing saint of the Ice Castle.
Zichu knew very well how important the Saint was to the Ice Castle, but this was the first time the Saint was born in the lower world, and Zichu had no clue. After going to the lower world, he heard that only one of the ten people was left.
When he entered the Sleepless Mountain, he discovered that the person sitting on the throne was not one of the ten, and Zijin had passed away. He wanted to get to the bottom of it, but found that the wheel of fate was in his hands. For the sake of the people of the world, he had to give up.
He kept searching for the truth in the world, and put the matter of the saint behind him. The closer he got to the truth, the angrier he became. The barrier of the Sleepless Mountain also stopped him from seeking revenge.
He couldn't help but think of the Wheel of Fortune. Zichu knew how important it was to all the people in the world and the Stone Plate of Heaven and Earth. Perhaps it was Zijin who was stopping him from doing something irreversible.
After he left the Sleepless Mountain, he asked the elders to hide back in the Ice Castle and froze himself to escape these realities until more than three hundred years ago.
When something strange happened in the Ice Castle, the elder told the truth. It turned out that the Ice Castle could no longer hold on without the Saint. When he hid in the ice, the people of the Ice Castle had already been driven out of the Ice Castle one by one and went to the underworld. He was the last one.
"Can we save the Ice Castle by finding the Saint?"
The elder hesitated for a moment, but still answered him affirmatively.
"Don't worry, the ice castle can still last for three years."
He believed the elders' words and left the Ice Castle, searching for the people of the Ice Castle while searching for the Saint. He searched alone in the lower world for nearly three hundred years.
Afraid of coming into contact with the people from the underworld, he could only move forward alone, constantly changing his name, just to prevent others from discovering the fact that he would not age, until he met Murong Xuan.
After changing his name to Mur Liqing, he accidentally saved the dying Murong Xuan, who was a wanderer.
Murong Xuan's worship of the God of the Sleepless Mountain made Mu Liqing very disgusted, but he couldn't say much and was always blocked by her words.
Mu Liqing was fed up with this girl, but she was attracted by his abilities and insisted on keeping him company.
In the end, Murong Xuan saw the true face of God, and Mu Liqing fell deeply in love with this woman and wanted to live with her.
A hundred years is considered long life for human beings, but Mu Liqing has lived for tens of thousands of years. He is afraid of being alone again, afraid of letting Murong Xuan face him who never ages, while he himself ages day by day.
He remembered what the elder said, that the ice castle could only last for three years, but the underworld could last for a thousand years, so a mere hundred years would be nothing to her.
When he asked the elder if there was any way that could allow him to temporarily age like a human, the elder smiled and gave him a glass of water to drink. When he woke up, Murong Xuan was by his side, and he himself had lost his "divine status".
The elder also gave him a jade flute and told him that when he wanted to come back, he only had to play the other flute and the door of the ice castle would open and he could return to the ice castle.
He looked at the jade flute in his hand, thinking that the day of returning home was not far away. In the battle with Deadpool, he borrowed Mu Xin's divine blood to temporarily transform back into a god. Otherwise, with his current ability, it would be impossible for him to escape unscathed. For a moment, he thought how great it would be if he was still a god.
Murong Xuan came over and placed her hand on the jade flute.
"What did you secretly say to Xin'er?"
"I just told her to be like you, to take care of her husband and children."
"Liar. You guys always have so many secrets among yourselves, and I feel like an outsider."
Murong Xuan acted coquettishly with her face full of wrinkles and silver hair, but in Mu Liqing's eyes, she was still the sixteen-year-old girl.
"Xin'er is already married, and the Immortal Realm has also taken action. Madam, are you afraid?"
Murong Xuan held his hand and sat down.
"The Immortal Realm has always wanted to capture Xin'er and force you to submit, but fortunately, Xin'er is not someone they can capture just because they want to.
They thought that this trip to get married was a great opportunity, but they didn't know that Xin'er had already noticed it and made all the preparations to prevent them from succeeding.
The first ones to take action were Red Bee and White Tiger, which was a big move and they were determined to win.
Now that Xin'er has married Le Zheng, although Jimen Pass is not a good place to go, they are now ready to take action against the dragon clan, but they still dare not take action against Le Zheng, so there is no need to worry for the time being.
Xin'er is fine. As long as she can keep our daughter Chen Yin as promised, I have nothing to fear."
"They can't catch Xin'er. I'm worried that they might do something to Madam."
"You, remember, I've lived for so long, I'm not afraid of death. If I'm really caught by the Immortal Realm, I won't give them a chance to threaten you, and you don't have to compromise for me. Whether it's Qin Chu or the others, we all came together with the same awareness. It would be foolish to only consider our small group of people."
Mu Liqing naturally knew what the Changsheng Realm had been doing. It was just to eliminate threats like them. There were still a few thorns in the flesh: the dragon clan who had been useless, Le Zheng who had been struggling to survive, and the demon clan who were ready to make moves. He would only feel at ease if all of them were eliminated.
"Xin'er is already married, so we don't need to worry about her affairs. Now it's time for us to take action."
Mu Liqing held the jade flute in his hand. He had already made the worst plan. If the immortal world dismantled him as the pillar of human survival, he would come back as a god for revenge. What foundation of heaven and earth? At worst, everything would return to chaos and bring eternal peace to the world.
However, what he had never thought of was the elder's compassion.
