Chapter 793 -261: The End of Extreme Cold (Two in One, Seeking Monthly Pass)_6
The fog, which even Frost Eyes could not penetrate, grew denser and more biting as Qiuqiu delved deeper.
Suddenly, Qiuqiu’s expression shifted slightly.
The continually dispersed Spiritual Power it radiated sensed only void at one particular spot.
And that spot was right in front of it.
Its speed quickened.
Soon, the thick fog before its eyes seemed to brighten somewhat.
As Qiuqiu drew closer to that spot, the light before it grew increasingly dazzling.
Suddenly, Qiuqiu broke through the last thin barrier and, with a burst of eye-catching brilliance that filled its entire field of vision, rushed into another area.
Only when its eyes gradually adjusted to the brightness could it make out the surroundings.
At this moment, it was tightly enclosed in a sphere of ice-blue light.
The light sphere had a diameter of about ten meters, surrounded by endless fog outside but carried a somewhat warm feeling inside.
“Nice to see you, little fella.”
“Meow?! (◣_◢)” (Who?!)
A voice suddenly emerged, bringing Qiuqiu back to its senses instantly.
Its eyes immediately showed a guarded light as it looked around and soon spotted a figure within the same light sphere.
The figure was quite ethereal, its outline hardly discernible, with only the convergence of ice-blue Energy Light and the quietly flowing Rule Power from the same source as Qiuqiu.
“Who am I?” The ice-blue light flickered slightly, “I am Cold Venerate, and I built the Extreme Cold Ladder as a place of legacy.”
“Making it past the six layers of external frost fog shows you climbed here step by step, starting from the first level of the ladder…”
“Meow? (°ω°)” (Is there another way?)
Qiuqiu tilted its head in confusion.
Disrupted by Qiuqiu’s interjection, Cold Venerate suddenly fell silent.
“Actually, you could also have climbed directly to the seventh level from the back of the ladder,” it said after a while, its voice sounding a bit strange.
Qiuqiu’s eyes widened fiercely.
Right, flying up the back side of the ladder would take one straight to the seventh level without having to go through the previous six levels!
“But in that case, you wouldn’t have been able to pass through the first six layers of frost fog,” Cold Venerate added somewhat gloomily, spotting Qiuqiu’s thought process.
Originally, it had thought that the little fellow who had reached this place had earnestly passed through the first six levels of the ladder, not willing to take a shortcut.
It hadn’t expected the other party to be simply naive.
Didn’t this fella have a Beast Tamer?
Or was its Beast Tamer also not very bright?
Oh well.
No matter how the other had come here, now that they were here…
“Would you like to hear my story?” Cold Venerate asked calmly.
“Meow… (๑ŏωŏ๑)” (But I’d rather comprehend the Rule Power of the seventh level…)
Qiuqiu spoke sincerely.
Who has time to listen to stories? Better to comprehend quickly and leave early.
Being out of touch, Lin Su must be very worried.
Cold Venerate: “…”
Why won’t you play by the rules?
“The seventh level has no Rule Power, only one legacy that can be obtained by understanding the first six levels of the ladder,” its voice became even more despondent.
“Meow! (｡✪ω✪｡)” (Then hurry up and give me the legacy!)
Qiuqiu’s eyes lit up instantly.
Cold Venerate was silent for a moment before speaking with a touch of annoyance, “No story, no legacy!”
Darn kid, not playing by the rules.
This reminded it of all the respectful little ones who had come here in the past.
“Meow… (눈_눈)” (Then speak, I’m listening…)
Hearing Cold Venerate say that, Qiuqiu couldn’t help but roll its eyes, urging Cold Venerate to hurry up and tell its story.
Cold Venerate: “…”
Interrupted by Qiuqiu like this, it suddenly lost the desire to narrate.
After a good while, it finally organized its words and started speaking reluctantly and unhappily.
“I was originally a piece of solid ice, and only transformed into a living creature when the Ghost Energy Stone appeared.”
“At first, I was merely the weakest among the elite races, an Ice Elemental Spirit, who luckily followed a powerful Beast Tamer, and over time, eventually became the Lord of Cold Ice of the higher Emperor races.”
“My Beast Tamer eventually reached the legendary level, and I, too, ascended to immortality!”
“But the good times didn’t last long. Just after my Beast Tamer had broken through, he fell during a life-and-death fight with an enemy from the Martial Domain Realm.” Cold Venerate’s voice carried a trace of helplessness, “And I also perished on the spot.”
“Unwilling to see my lifelong realizations vanish, I gathered all my Rule Power in one place, leaving behind this Extreme Cold Stairway. Because I also had insights into the Spirit system, my obsession lingered long, looking after this place.”
“Within immortality, my insights into the rules were not profound since I had just advanced, barely reaching the twelfth stage.”
“But!” Cold Venerate’s voice suddenly intensified, “The rules I grasped are incomparable to the usual immortality!”
“The Extreme Cold rule I grasped points directly to the endpoint of Extreme Cold!” Cold Venerate’s voice became proud, “Within the ice system, no one can match me!”
“Extreme Cold can freeze everything!”
“Extreme Cold can freeze souls!”
“And at the end of Extreme Cold is Time!”
“Extreme Cold can solidify Time!!”
With each shout resonating like thunder, booming inside Qiuqiu’s mind.
Although without a tangible form, at this moment, within the energy light, it seemed as if a pair of eyes filled with pride looked towards Qiuqiu, “Now, my lifelong realizations will be passed on to you.”
“You are not the first inheritor.”
“But, all those before you have failed!”
“They set out on my path, yet fell midway!”
“Do you dare accept this inheritance?!”
Qiuqiu shook its head, waking from the dazed state caused by the other’s words.
It sounded quite impressive.
But…
It couldn’t help but glance at Cold Venerate before it.
Hearing its words, instead of feeling exhilarated and honored,
a bizarre speculation unexpectedly rose in its mind.
“Meow…Meow? (≖ω≖)” (Could it be…you haven’t fully grasped it yourself?)
Cold Venerate suddenly became quiet.
After a long moment, it spoke somewhat irritably, “Talk less, do you want it or not, if not, then leave!”
“Meow! (´ω｀ฅ)” (Want, want, want!)
Qiuqiu wore a resigned expression of ‘I knew it.’
Of course, it wanted the inheritance.
The Time system, even with just a sliver of hope, it couldn’t possibly give up.
However, it always felt that the creature before it seemed somewhat unreliable.
Feeling that the little creature was criticizing it secretly, Cold Venerate huffed.
This little creature was indeed vexing, showing no respect for the elderly.
It casually infused a streak of ice-blue light into Qiuqiu’s vertical pupils, then with a wave of its hand, it teleported Qiuqiu out.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Only after Qiuqiu disappeared did its emotions gradually settle, then it sighed softly.
“This path, clearly has no issues…”
“Yet why, is it just not achievable…”
“Is the Time system truly so difficult?”
