Yue Qianchou sucked in a breath of cold air and retracted his hand in pain. He didn't know what was wrong with this woman. Did she have to be like this with just one sentence? But seeing the anger on her face and Xue Linglong's sobbing face, he vaguely guessed something. He swallowed back the vulgarities that were about to come out of his mouth.
Then looking at the strangely shaped ice flowers around, his expression twitched. He thought they were some strange flowers from the netherworld. But now that he thought about it, it seemed like Xue Linglong had created them out of thin air. Maybe that crab like flower was the legendary peony flower.
"I can't see the sunlight, so I've never been to the celestial world." Xue Linglong murmured, then looked up at Yue Qianchou and asked, "Can you tell me what a rose looks like?"
Snow Empress hugged her in her arms with heartache. She forced a smile and comforted, "If there's a chance, your father and I will definitely take you to the celestial world to see."
Yue Qianchou looked at the two mothers and hesitated for a while. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "With princess's cultivation, it shouldn't be a problem to go to the celestial world, right? Why can't you see the sunlight? "
"It's all your celestial world people's doing!" The Snow Empress turned her head and scolded. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore. The teardrops that rolled down her charming face were really pitiful and moving.
"Mother, I'm fine. I don't want to go to the celestial world." Xue Linglong's tears also flowed down, but she hurriedly wiped her mother's tears. In the end, the two of them hugged each other and cried.
Yue Qianchou scratched his head and looked at the entrance of the ice palace in a panic. He was really worried that Snow Empress would misunderstand after seeing this scene. If that happened, she wouldn't think that he bullied her wife and daughter. She would definitely fight him to the death.
"I heard that princess was injured by someone in the celestial world and hasn't recovered yet. Princess can't go to the celestial world because of your injury?" Yue Qianchou asked the question in his heart. In order to stop the mother and daughter from crying any further, he tried to ask, "Can you tell me what exactly is going on?"
However, at the mention of this, the Snow Empress seemed to recall some sad past events and cried until her shoulders trembled. Yue Qianchou immediately panicked. If this continued, the Snow Empress would really misunderstand. He rolled his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking. He stretched out his hand, and as if he was performing a magic trick, a beautiful red rose appeared in his hand. He handed it over to the mother and daughter pair, bringing a wisp of fragrance with it.
"This is?" Xue Ling Long's eyes lit up. She was attracted by the beautiful flowers. Snow Empress raised her head slightly and exclaimed, "Roses!" Xue Linglong was pleasantly surprised, "This is a rose? So beautiful! " Without waiting for Yue Qianchou's consent, he grabbed it and placed it between his nose and mouth, smelling its fragrance with an intoxicated look on his face.
Seeing that the mother and daughter finally stopped crying, Yue Qianchou instantly chuckled proudly and said, "Coincidentally, I'm also a flower lover, so I brought some roses with me." He looked like a flower thief teasing the mother and daughter.
His words sounded better than singing, but in reality, he had remembered that Utopia had planted all sorts of flowers, so he casually picked a rose. Speaking of which, he had to thank Guan Yu. Back then, when Yue Qianchou first came to the Hundred Flowers Valley with Guan Yu, Guan Yu had bought many kinds of flower seeds from the Hundred Flowers Valley and planted them in Utopia's flower fields. Now, he casually picked it to fool people.
However, he only felt proud for a while before the smile on his face froze. The rose in Xue Linglong's hand was turning black at a visible speed, then slowly withering. In the end, it turned into ashes and disappeared with the wind. Xue Linglong held some ashes in her hands and shouted in panic, "Mother, mother, my rose!"
She was helpless and seemed to want to beg her mother to help her save the lost rose. However, Snow Empress was also helpless. Otherwise, her daughter would have seen a rose. Snow Empress's face was full of heartache. She grabbed her daughter's hands and didn't know what to say.
"Sigh!" A sigh sounded behind Yue Qianchou helplessly. Yue Qianchou suddenly looked back and realized that it was none other than Snow Empress. He didn't know when she had come behind him, but she clearly knew what had happened.
"Thank you for your kindness." Snow Empress patted Yue Qianchou's shoulder and smiled bitterly, "The Netherworld and the Celestial World are different. The difference is between life and death. This distance is an insurmountable gap, an insurmountable law of heaven and earth. The Netherworld is full of death. The flowers and plants in the Celestial World can't survive here and will turn into ashes in the blink of an eye. But the Celestial World is full of life. Most of the flowers and plants in the Netherworld will have the same ending in the Celestial World. Cultivation is something that goes against the natural law of heaven and earth. Unlike cultivators like me who go against the natural law, we can freely travel between the Celestial World and the Netherworld when we reach a certain realm. Do you understand what I mean? "
Yue Qianchou nodded thoughtfully. He recalled the scene when he had collected the Resurrection Grass in front of the gate to the Netherworld. The Resurrection Grass had turned to dust the moment it came into contact with life. It was exactly as the Snow Empress had said.
But it was also because he remembered the scene of collecting the Resurrection Grass that his eyes lit up. He clapped his hands and cheered, "I have a way to let the princess enjoy all kinds of beautiful flowers in the Celestial World."
The family of three perked up immediately. Snow Empress and Snow Emperor asked in surprise, "What way?"
"Seal it with ice. We can use ice to seal the flowers in the Celestial World and bring them to the Netherworld. This way, as long as the ice does not melt, the Death Qi will not invade. The flowers will never wither, and Princess Linglong will be able to enjoy them forever, "Yue Qianchou said happily. This was because he had used the same method to collect the Resurrection Grass.
Xue Linglong nodded excitedly, but Snow Empress and Snow Emperor's expressions were a little gloomy. Yue Qianchou was stunned and said, "Won't this method work?"
Snow Empress smiled bitterly and shook her head, "The Frozen Snow Dance is a spell that my wife and I are proficient in. How could we not think of this method? If it's really useful, let alone a mere rose, even freezing thousands of miles in an instant wouldn't be a difficult task for me and my wife. But my wife and I are, after all, high-level cultivators of the Netherworld. The death aura inside the ice we cast is even stronger than the death aura in the air of the Netherworld. A mere rose will immediately turn into ashes as soon as it touches it. How can it be of any use? "
"So that's how it is … Eh! That's not right! " Yue Qianchou scratched his face and said suspiciously, "I once saw someone use ice to seal a Resurrection Grass and bring it back to the Celestial World. According to Snow Empress, if the people in the Celestial World use the Frozen Snow Technique, the ice should contain life. Why didn't the Resurrection Grass turn into ashes?"
"The Resurrection Grass is not an ordinary flower in the Netherworld. It has an ancient name, Yin Yang Grass."
Snow Empress explained, "The most ancient saying is that there were originally only two realms, Yin and Yang. It refers to the human world and the Netherworld. At that time, the human world was only called the Yang Realm. All living beings were equal, and there was no such name as the human world. Later, humans gradually stood out from all living beings and became the rulers of the Yang Realm. In order to show that humans were superior to other living beings, they called the Yang Realm the human world."
"The dead of the Yang Realm go to the Netherworld, and those who transcend the Netherworld go to the Yang Realm to be reincarnated as all kinds of living beings. The ancient method called it fate and reincarnation. It goes back and forth in an endless cycle. But later, as the living beings multiply, some of them comprehend to break the cycle of Yin and Yang, and transcend the divination of life and death. They pursue eternal life, and disdain to live together with ordinary living beings. Therefore, based on their comprehension, they opened up other spaces to reside in, which are the various spaces like the Celestial World, the Celestial World, and the Demon World. "
"And the Resurrection Grass cannot exist in other spaces. It only grows at the intersection of the Yin and Yang Realms, which is also the intersection of the human world and the Netherworld. Not only does it have magical effects, but more importantly, it shows the inalienable ancient status of the human world and the Netherworld. Therefore, the Resurrection Grass has some characteristics that are different from other things. It does not grow in solitary Yang, and does not grow in solitary Yin. It is not something from the Pure Yin Realm, nor is it something from the Pure Yang Realm. It can bear the weight of Yin and Yang, which is really mysterious. And only it can be like what you said, sealed in ice and brought to the human world or the Netherworld. But even so, it will not stay in the Yin and Yang Realms for more than seven days. Once it exceeds seven days, it will immediately turn into ashes. "
At this point, the Snow Empress sighed and said, "Now you should understand why even with the cultivation of us husband and wife, we are unable to bring flowers and plants from the outside world to the Netherworld, right? It is not that we do not want to do it, but we cannot resist it. This is the eternal law of heaven and earth. Our cultivation is too insignificant in front of the law of heaven and earth. "
"So that's how it is!" Yue Qianchou nodded slightly. He felt that this trip to the Ice Palace was not in vain. He had more or less gained some knowledge. Maybe it would be beneficial to his future cultivation. Then he looked at the desolate Xue Linglong and asked, "Snow Empress, may I ask who in the Celestial Realm injured the princess? What kind of injury did she suffer? Why can't she recover after such a long time?"
Hearing this, the couple's faces were filled with anger. The Snow Empress gritted her teeth and said, "This person was one of the 12 great Celestial Monarchs under Jin Tai. His name is Fire Virtue Celestial Monarch. Later, because his cultivation increased to the late stage of Celestial Emperor, Jin Tai was worried that he would threaten his ruling position in the Celestial Realm, so he suppressed him. He also fought back, but in the end, he was still no match for Celestial Emperor. However, he had already kept a trump card in the dark. Just when he was about to die in the hands of Kinta, he suddenly used the hidden Samadhi True Fire to block Kinta's pursuit and escaped to the Netherworld … "
