The beast nuzzled into my embrace, and I stroked its head, saying, "Bubble, did you miss me?"
"Mm!" The beast nodded, its eyes wide open.
"Give it to me!" I snatched the Holy Medicine from its hands. After sleeping for so long, I was already starving.
Seeing me grab the Holy Medicine, the beast puffed up in anger, shaking its fist at me. Then it blew out a bubble and dragged the Holy Herb Garden toward me.
The Holy Herb Garden flew in, wanting to enter my Qi Sea. However, the Seven-Colored Bubble collided with me and failed to get into my Qi Sea. The beast stuffed its right hand in its mouth and looked at me. While munching on the Holy Medicine, I asked the beast, "Why did you bump into me?"
The beast pointed at my abdomen and jumped up and down, indicating that it wanted to send the Holy Herb Garden inside.
"Why don’t you put it in your own belly? When I need you, you pretend to be dead and sleep lazily, almost getting me killed!" I criticized.
The beast's chin trembled as it looked like it was about to cry. I tossed the root of the Holy Medicine onto its head and said, "Go inside and pull out a couple for me; I'm still not full."
"Hmph!" The beast pouted angrily and pushed the Seven-Colored Bubble as if to fly away.
I grabbed one of its legs tightly. The other leg kicked at me repeatedly. "Alright, alright, I was just joking, Bubble."
Upon hearing this, the beast looked at me with a proud expression. "Give me a kiss?"
"Hmph!" The beast picked up its attitude.
"Fine then, just push the Holy Herb Garden into my Qi Sea."
Hearing this, the beast blew a breath and moved the Seven-Colored Bubble closer. With a pained expression, I said, "I'm so hungry; it's been so long since I've eaten..."
The beast observed my expression and reluctantly flew into the Holy Herb Garden, pulling out two identical Holy Medicine for me. I asked, "Do you only grow this kind of Radish in your garden?"
The beast gestured animatedly. I replied, "Grass. Just give me what you don't like to eat!"
The beast looked a bit shy. I placed it on my shoulder and brought the Seven-Colored Bubble into my Qi Sea, then turned my gaze toward the Snow Pool below.
I landed by the edge of the Snow Pool. Six months ago, I had personally buried Yunxi in an Ice Coffin within the Snow Pool. Now that I thought about it, memories flooded back, causing a slight pain in my heart.
The understanding of the Dao has allowed me to let go of many emotions, yet the death of Yunxi still pains my heart. I remember her words just before she passed away.
"In the midst of countless people, to meet the one you are destined to meet; in the vast wilderness of endless time, neither a moment too soon nor a moment too late, we just happened to cross paths. Yang Hao, to encounter you in the final moments of my life is my fortune."
I moved my fingers slightly, and all the snow covering the Snow Pool lifted, revealing a layer of ice beneath. The ice cracked, and from the water's surface emerged a massive Ice Coffin, deep and dark.
The beast jumped onto the Ice Coffin and lay on its lid, peering inside with a sorrowful expression. I sighed, about to sink the Ice Coffin to the bottom of the lake when I faintly sensed a breath of life emanating from within.
The breath was faint, but it was indeed a sign of life!
I opened the Ice Coffin. Inside, the Snow Lotus bloomed as beautifully as when I had placed it there, and Douding lay at the center of the Snow Lotus, but Yunxi was nowhere to be found.
"Where is Yunxi?" I couldn't understand why she had vanished.
At that time, when Yunxi had been afflicted by Nangong's True Fire of Taiyi and fell into a coma, I had placed the Water Linglong in her mouth. That Water Linglong was a treasure from Guo the Blind, at least at the level of a Sacred Artifact. Although I didn't know how to use it, I still held onto a glimmer of hope.
"Could it be that Yunxi revived and left on her own?" I thought to myself with a smile. "But what about that breath of life just now?"
Inside the Ice Coffin, Douding's face remained unchanged—bald and pale. As I brushed away the Snow Lotus covering him, I could vaguely see that there was indeed a formation circulating within his body.
Although Qingliang Temple is a Daoist temple, its founding Ancestor Master had once listened to Laozi's teachings. Even though there were no significant figures supporting the sect in later generations, it managed to endure for thousands of years—longer than both the Five Major Sects and Supreme Sect. Back then, Elder Changxi was the foremost master of formations in Daoist Sect. As the saying goes, Yang Sanqian had specifically invited someone to seal the Book of Life and Death within me; Douding was the only disciple left behind by As the saying goes at Qingliang Temple. He hadn’t taught Douding any skills; how could he have not given him any means of survival?
I gathered powerful life energy in my palm and pressed it against Douding's chest. The life energy continuously flowed into his body, causing the formation within him to activate and glow, allowing his blood to circulate and his pulse to beat. Gradually, his complexion began to regain some color.
I withdrew my hand and looked at Douding peacefully resting. The beast playfully stuck out its tongue and curiously jumped onto Douding’s body, licking his face.
Douding opened his eyes. First came fear, then confusion; when he saw me looking at him, he suddenly burst into tears.
"Yang Hao bro, I had a very long dream. I saw Master find me; he told me that I would wake up and not to think about him." Douding said as he stood up from the coffin.
The beast perched on Douding's shoulder rubbed its chubby face against him. Douding pushed it aside and said, "Yang Hao bro, why do you have such a big-headed cat now?"
Upon hearing this from Douding, the beast wore an expression as if it had lost all hope.
I lifted Douding out of the coffin and said, "Did you see a beautiful sister in your dreams? There is a trace of Water Linglong's aura on you. It was Yunxi who discovered that Water Linglong has the ability to condense life souls, and she passed some of that energy onto you."
Douding shook his head and asked, "Is Sister Yunxi someone Yang Hao met later?"
I nodded and replied, "Sister Yunxi was in a deep slumber just like you, but she woke up before you. I don't know where she went."
"Don't worry, Brother Yang Hao. Sister Yunxi will be fine," Douding assured me.
I nodded again and was about to ask him if he had seen anything strange during this time when suddenly, a loud explosion echoed from afar.
The ground shook with the force of the explosion, causing the snow on the mountain to slide down and trigger an avalanche.
"Brother, run!" Douding pulled me to flee.
I said, "Douding, there's no need to run."
As the avalanche rushed toward us, an invisible barrier appeared behind me, and the tremendous force of the avalanche couldn't break through it at all. Douding stared in awe and exclaimed, "Amazing!"
My Dao Qi enveloped Douding as we stood on a slab of ice that slid down with the avalanche until it finally came to a stop.
Douding jumped off the ice slab, and a beast landed on his bald head. His feet slipped slightly as I looked toward the source of the explosion and saw a group of people dressed in thin clothing. Although they bore no sect insignia, it was clear they were from the Daoist Sect. Among them, I recognized a familiar face—Dongfang Zhen.
I said to Douding, "From now on, we can only bully others; no one can bully us. Let me take you to see some good drama."
Douding nodded and followed me toward the crowd at Sword Pavilion.
Not far from Mountain Snow Pool, a massive iceberg was blown apart, revealing a space radiating extreme cold. Within this empty space, mysterious inscriptions flowed around a large sword that floated in the center, emanating a chilling light.
"This is one of the ancient Ten Famous Swords—Frostblade. It is the most unique among them, containing immense frost power. A mortal cannot even hold it. It disappeared over a thousand years ago, and people from the Daoist Sect have searched for it without any news. I didn't expect it to be sealed here," Elder Mo explained.
Dongfang Zhen remarked, "The Xuanyuan Sword is too ethereal; Wudang's Seven Star Sword is a later famous sword. The Que Sword has vanished; only this Frostblade is most suitable to become one of the Ten Famous Swords. I will draw it."
"Young Master, be cautious," Elder Mo reminded him.
Dongfang Zhen's lips curled in disdain as he walked toward the seal. A powerful killing intent surged toward him, but Dongfang Zhen spun around, the Invisible Sword in hand. He deflected the killing intent one by one and shouted, launching a fist toward the barrier. The light of his punch blazed fiercely, shattering the seal.
I said, "Douding. In a moment, that swordsman will suddenly attack the elder holding the Zhou Compass."
"Why? Aren't they on the same side?" Douding asked.
I replied, "This is vanity. Dongfang Zhen is not the Sword Sect Master's biological child but his nephew. His claim to be the heir is unfounded. Elder Mo has repeatedly stolen Dongfang Zhen's achievements. With Dongfang Zhen's temperament, once he gets his hands on the Frostblade, he will strike. Plus, there’s another person nearby who is Dongfang Zhen's uncle."
"Oh," Douding responded. "Brother, is that compass in Elder Mo's hand yours?"
I said, "Yes. Many of them surrounded me, forcing me to hand over everything, including the Book of Life and Death and the Martial Dao Classic."
Upon hearing about the Martial Dao Classic, Douding looked dejected and said, "I can't sense Uncle Zhang's presence. Has he already died?"
I patted Douding's head and said, "Zhang Jianzi's death is also related to those from the Sword Pavilion. Regardless of which side wins today, I will kill all remaining opponents. From now on, I will ruthlessly reclaim what is mine."
