Chapter 173: White form immortal snake
Translator: Skyfarrow Editor: Skyfarrow
Sunset clouds are blown away as cool wind fills the air, and the jade disc spins silently in the milky way .
Bai Ning Bing looked out from the window and gazed at the night sky .
A bright and sparkling moon was shining in the sky . Occasionally, wolf howls could be heard in the distance, adding some bleakness to the peaceful moonlight .
In the study room, the Bai clan leader was sitting at a side with a dazed expression .
Just a moment ago, Bai Ning Bing told him about the Northern Dark Ice Soul physique .
"Northern Dark Ice Soul… . ten absolute aptitudes… . " The Bai clan leader mumbled constantly .
"I have already sensed that my end is nearing, my aperture is gradually unable to endure the burden . These past few years, I’ve truly caused you much problems!" Bai Ning Bing softly sighed .
His expression was calm . No longer was there the abnormal reckless and crazed state as before . What replaced them was tranquility and peace .
This tranquility and peace came from his heart .
He had found his path and was no longer perplexed by life and death .
People mature over time, and the stimulation from life and death could further speed up this process .
Moonlight fell down like flowing water, illuminating Bai Ning Bing’s fair skin . Under the flowing radiance, his two blue eyes shone with depth .
He was like a beautiful young man from a painting, with white hair and white clothes like the immortals in the clouds, causing people to look intently .
"How could this happen? You were clearly A grade with 99% primeval essence when your aptitude was tested . It absolutely wasn’t the Northern Dark Ice Soul . " The Bai clan leader was still refusing to accept it .
"It was indeed so . But one day when I was cultivating, my aptitude suddenly advanced . I checked the ancient scrolls and records in the clan and found some information on this; every 99% A grade aptitude has the possibility of advancing to ten absolute aptitudes while cultivating," Bai Ning Bing said .
"All ten defy the heavens, and the heavens can’t tolerate them . Even Ren Zu’s ten children didn’t have a good end . Sigh, is there really no way to salvage it?" Bai clan leader felt pity and regret when he looked at the beautiful boy in front of him .
He was the clan’s pride and their hope to rise up in power . However, his life was already nearing its end . Despite glowing brightly, he was like a firework which could only shine splendidly for one single moment .
"There are no ways to evade my impending doom, but there are some ways to delay it . However, all these methods need many years to prepare, which I don’t have . "
Bai Ning Bing said all this and gave a light laugh, as if the one being discussed about was not him, but some irrelevant outsider .
"Don’t worry . Who doesn’t die? True immortality doesn’t exist! As long as we live our life interestingly, it is enough . " He was instead consoling the clan leader .
"I cannot accept this! I absolutely cannot! Damn it, my Bai clan has been suppressed by the Gu Yue clan for centuries, we finally found hope but it ends up like this! No, there is still hope!"
Bai clan leader’s voice got louder and louder till suddenly, his expression turned firm as if he had decided on something .
"Follow me, I will bring you to a place… . " He stood up and said .
After a while .
The bright moonlight shone upon a deep pool .
"This is the spirit spring?" Bai Ning Bing asked . He had been led by the Bai clan leader as they went through a long secret pathway, and finally arrived here .
"Indeed . This is our clan’s restricted area, the location of the spirit spring . You also know this — every clan’s foundation is established upon a natural spirit spring, where the primeval stones produced by it will be used to provide for their cultivation . Our Bai clan can only be considered a small-medium scale clan, and only by annexing Gu Yue and Xiong clan as well as possessing at least three springs can we become a large scale clan," Bai clan leader sighed .
"Then clan leader, what did you bring me here for?"
Bai clan leader’s face revealed a complex expression, and as he turned around to look at Bai Ning Bing, his expression contained some hesitation, "I had originally never thought of bringing you here . However, the affairs of the world are hard to anticipate . To think, you would end up possessing Northern Dark Ice Soul! Your only chance at living lies within this spring . "
"What is in this spring?" Bai Ning Bing asked .
"A great Immortal!" Bai clan leader said with a deep voice .
"Great Immortal?" Bai Ning Bing was flabbergasted .
"Great Immortal is its title . It is a snake Gu left by our Bai clan’s first generation ancestor . It likes cleanliness, and its food is the water of spirit spring . It has always been secretly living in the spirit spring," Bai clan leader introduced .
"Before the first generation ancestor passed away, he set up a secret inheritance and left behind this snake Gu as a clue . If you can get the approval of the Great Immortal, it will open the secret inheritance for you . But if you can’t receive its approval… . " The Bai clan leader stopped his sentence in the middle .
"What happens then?" Bai Ning Bing asked .
Bai clan leader’s expression turned grave and he said, "It will kill you!"
At the same time, Gu Yue village .
Inside the room, Tie Ruo Nan kept her recon Gu and nodded with satisfaction, "The environment here is pretty good, it’s rather clean . "
The ‘clean’ she referred to wasn’t talking about the cleanliness of the room, but was pointing at the lack of surveillance .
It was impossible to say that there absolutely wasn’t any surveillance .
After all, Tie Xue Leng was rank five, so he possessed too great of a threat . Hence, there was a necessity for some precautions .
However, Gu Yue clan’s defensive and surveillance measures were just at the right amount and the level was quite low too, not creating any feelings of provocation and aversion . It could even be taken as excessively earnest and passionate reception, which was why Tie Ruo Nan gave the assessment of ‘rather clean’ .
Tie Xue Leng slightly nodded, "Ruo Nan, you have followed me for so long and have learned many things . However, some things can only be learned by taking actions and not just by spectating from the sides . Hence, I handed this case to you . "
