Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter
Chapter 510 - 170: Divine Spirits Hidden in the Graveyard of Yin and Yang, Teasing the Wolf Mother, Forging the King’s Axe, Gazing Upon the World’s End
The depths of the Immortal Tomb.
Before the eerie blue maze.
The Wolf Mother, wrapped in silver gauze, was pinned to the ground by Li Yuan clutching her neck, yet she still wore a smile.
"The Barbarian King wants to know why I can tame these wolves, but you cannot...
The answer is simple because I am the Jade Remains, and controlling these wolves is my innate ability, something the Barbarian King can never take away."
Li Yuan glanced sideways at the Wolf Mother’s intact eye, curiously asking, "Jade Remains? What are the Jade Remains?"
"The Barbarian King must be curious why my eyes aren’t white." The Wolf Mother saw through Li Yuan’s ploy and laughed, "Because I am an incomplete Jade Remains, not a naturally born one..."
"But you can control the Sixth Grade Ice and Snow Giant Wolves; is that also incomplete?" Li Yuan chuckled indifferently, "The Wolf Mother wants to be my woman, but lacks sincerity, doesn’t she?
How about... you teach me how to control so many Sixth Grade Demon Beasts, and ensure they cannot betray you.
Then I will acknowledge you as my master and carry forward the exceptional skills of our clan, shall we?
By then, we will be teacher and student, significantly closer, and you’ll have more control over the Western Pole."
The Wolf Mother flirtatiously smiled, "The Barbarian King truly isn’t barbaric at all, sly as an old fox. However..."
She calmed her expression, solemnly stating, "I truly was born with this ability to control them."
"Born knowing how?"
"No... it was at a certain moment..."
"Which moment?"
"At the moment I had memory."
Li Yuan slightly frowned.
The Wolf Mother looked at him frankly.
Both remained silent for a while.
The Wolf Mother flirtatiously smiled, "I’ve shared such private information with the Barbarian King, and you still doubt my sincerity?"
"Then why did you become the Wolf Mother?"
"I don’t know... it’s my mission."
"You must be controlled by someone, who is controlling you?"
"No one controls me." The Wolf Mother took a deep breath, looked up, and said, "I must guard this sacred burial ground of the Divine Spirits. Perhaps it’s such a solemn and sacred task that compels me to guard this place without realizing it. Now that the Barbarian King is here, let us guard it together."
When she mentioned the "sacred burial ground of the Divine Spirits," her expression became solemn, filled with an indescribable sacredness.
The seduction on the Wolf Mother’s face faded, replaced by a purity, as if a wanton woman had suddenly lost the blush on her cheeks, donned a snow-white bridal gown, and walked down the red carpet with a mesmerizing gaze, to a solemn hall.
Li Yuan thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I apologize."
Having said this, he searched the Wolf Mother, finding a specially crafted short crossbow at her waist and a small fiery red bottle in her bosom, presumably made of Blood Crystal.
Li Yuan held the bottle and asked, "What is this?"
The Wolf Mother replied, "Seeds. I wanted the clan leader to try planting some fruit trees near the fire. These seeds are what I managed to procure, and they have strong cold resistance."
Pop!
Li Yuan flicked his thumb to open the bottle, pouring it slightly.
Instantly, several black seeds rolled out.
Li Yuan returned them, then tucked the seeds back into his bosom.
"I didn’t expect you to be a Wolf Mother who considers the people living on this Frozen Soil..." Li Yuan smiled.
He continued searching.
Then, from within the Wolf Mother’s gauze dress, he found a closely carried curved blade.
Li Yuan removed the Wolf Mother’s shoes, pinched open her cheeks, and only after confirming nothing was hidden there did he let go.
The Wolf Mother coughed lightly a few times, then stood and said, "Those who trespass the Divine Tomb shall die.
That’s why, on that day, I attacked the Barbarian King."
Li Yuan quietly looked at her, "So, beyond this Divine Tomb, they’re all just sacrifices."
The Wolf Mother said, "People living on this Frozen Soil need faith, need hope.
And being able to be immortal here, when the sun returns, when the new world awakens... this is their belief.
Such faith allows them to safely remain in the Western Pole, where outsiders cannot easily invade.
As mighty as the Barbarian King is, isn’t he weakened after coming here?
If the Barbarian King couldn’t transform into fire, he wouldn’t have been able to come here, right?"
Li Yuan said, "Then why did you support them invading the outside world?"
The Wolf Mother laughed: "The urge to move grows stronger over time. Rather than block it, it’s better to go along with it.
If some don’t die, how will they realize... here is the safest place. Here is their homeland and refuge.
By then, guarding the Western Pole will be imprinted in their souls, and they will no longer think or dare to leave.
Furthermore, the Cloud Mountain Path is impoverished, and before they provoke stronger enemies, they will give birth to many offspring. These offspring, as long as born near fire, will become the people here, possessing great strength.
Barbarian King, you see, one can solidify their faith, and two can increase their numbers, so why shouldn’t I support it?"
Li Yuan remarked, "You are truly a very smart woman.
What makes me curious is... this land shouldn’t have a Ghost Realm, how are you able to live so long?"
The Wolf Mother said, "I’m only twenty-five years old, not lived long.
When I die, a new Wolf Mother will arise."
Li Yuan asked, "Have you never doubted anything?"
The Wolf Mother said, "No... guarding this place is the destiny of generations of Wolf Mothers. I’ve merely been chosen by the Divine Spirit."
Li Yuan said, "You’re so smart, don’t you think for yourself... for instance, why did you lose your memory?"
The Wolf Mother said, "It’s merely the choice of the Divine Spirit. Since I can see the future, why bother looking back to care about those trivial matters?"
