Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter
Chapter 513 - 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
Normally, Li Yuan wouldn’t do something like this, but now... he has no other choice.
He can only control the Ninth Grade Demon Beast.
Among the Ninth Grade Demon Beasts with strong cold resistance that can be found, only this type of Ice and Snow Giant Wolf pup fits the bill.
At this moment...
The first wolf pup, moving its little legs, had already reached the depths of the Immortal Tomb...
The endless cold made the little wolf pup struggle for survival, its body gradually freezing stiff.
But just before it completely froze, it finally reached the end of the labyrinth and saw a bizarre "mult-eyed" twin fish statue.
In the twin fish, one is black and the other is white, swimming with their tails intertwined,
the white fish floats from east to west above,
while the black fish moves from west to east below,
it is evidently an image of the circulation cycle of Taiyin and Taiyang.
But the bodies of the twin fish are pitted.
Each pit formed an "eye."
Within each "eye" lay a ghostly blue, sacred coffin.
Li Yuan quickly scanned through using the little wolf pup’s vision.
There were a total of 6974 coffins, mostly transparent, allowing one to see the people lying inside from the outside.
Their faces were blurry and hard to discern, but it was faintly visible that they were all lying there naked, without any garments or accessories.
And unlike the people outside who had been frozen, these individuals appeared as if they were still alive, their skins as they normally would be, as if they were merely asleep.
However, perhaps both their bodies and souls were in some special state, for Li Yuan could not perceive their data at all.
Maybe only by opening the coffins could he see them.
But undoubtedly, these Divine Spirits possessed extraordinary power and could maintain their strength from when they were alive for even a short while after opening the coffin; Li Yuan would be in trouble, so he does not plan to rashly open the coffins.
But evidently, the "Immortal Tomb" had indeed been proven to exist.
If Xue Ning and others’ lifespans were to end, Li Yuan would bring his loved ones here.
No matter about Divine Spirits or whatever, his family must have a coffin here.
And at this moment, Li Yuan’s vision suddenly disappeared.
He grabbed another wolf pup from his bosom and set it down.
As such, he continued to release them one by one.
Everything at the end of the labyrinth was no longer a secret to him.
Among the 6974 coffins, 6174 were already filled, having men, women, and even elderly with white beards.
Li Yuan asked, "Have you been guarding this place for thousands of years?"
The Wolf Mother said, "Afraid it has been ten thousand years."
"Ten thousand years?" Li Yuan’s expression shifted as he said, "Have you seen Divine Spirits being sent here for burial?"
The Wolf Mother abruptly said in a sharp voice, "You must not speak of Divine Spirits, you must not probe into the Divine Spirits!"
Li Yuan said, "So you haven’t seen it, right? Then what big secret do you want to tell me?"
The Wolf Mother said, "Isn’t the Divine Tomb a big secret?"
Li Yuan bent down, picked up the last pup who was stumbling out from the labyrinth, the one who survived, embracing it to thaw it with body warmth, then gently stroked its head, watching its unopened eyes, and said, "From now on, you shall be called Xiaobai."
"Let’s go, Wolf Mother."
"I cannot leave here for long; if you must go, go yourself."
"What if I want you to sleep with me?"
"Then sleep here."
The Wolf Mother raised her slender body, and the nearby wolves suddenly prostrated one by one, huddling densely, forming a large fluffy white bed with their bodies.
The Wolf Mother pointed to the bed and said, "Here."
Li Yuan said, "I heard that you Wolf Mothers have once given birth to children outside."
The Wolf Mother said, "That was a lie made up to promote affinity between the Wolf Mother and the Nine Flames Clan, told long enough, it just became true naturally."
Li Yuan suddenly embraced her, leapt onto the wolf bed, and the wolves sank, barely supporting them. Li Yuan laughed, "Doing this in front of the Divine Tomb, will the Divine Spirits be desecrated?"
The Wolf Mother paused a moment, openeding her eyes which were originally closed and prepared to endure.
Evidently... she had not considered this question.
Li Yuan laughed but did not continue, instead twirling back, looking at the woman on the wolf bed from afar, and said, "Next time I see you, I hope you’ll have a name.
By then, I’ll take you to see the sunset on the mountain outside.
You can’t see the sunset on the Frozen Soil, but it’s truly beautiful."
With that, he left without looking back.
He suddenly realized... he was becoming more despicable and unfeeling, able to easily enact touching scenes.
But, what difference does it make?
At least in this world, someone still bore his true feelings.
...
The wolf bed rose, supporting the woman with the Silver Gauze upon it.
The Wolf Mother, her face charming, expression serene, turned her head to watch the departing Li Yuan, suddenly lowered her face, her thin lips murmuring, "The sunset... is it beautiful?"
A moment...
"The sunset... what does it look like? Why can’t I remember?"
"The sunset... the sunset on the mountain... is it really beautiful?"
Speaking, this voice abruptly paused.
The Wolf Mother seemed as if corrected, adopting another demeanor.
She suddenly rose, leading the pack of wolves, emanating an icy air as they walked towards the depths of the labyrinth.
...
...
Li Yuan returned to the Zhenyan Clan and handed Xiaobai to a girl named Chen Na within the tribe.
This Chen Na greatly admired him, having declared her love back when he was the Grand Elder, and although she had since given up, she had become the most loyal person in the "Barbarian King Sect."
Later, Li Yuan went to a tent closest to the fire and had an intimate encounter with Zhenyan Xue.
Zhenyan Xue apparently had heard of his dealings with the Wolf Mother and was trying her best to please him.
After a long time, Li Yuan wiped the sweat off her forehead and softly recounted the true nature of his relationship with the Wolf Mother.
