What was a vicious dog?
If anyone dared to hurt Xu Xiaolan, An Lin would pounce on them and maul them to death. That was what a vicious dog was.
Xu Xiaolan was completely and utterly defeated by An Lin's smooth words, and she hung her head as she walked with her hand tightly gripping An Lin's."Talk is cheap. You'll have to prove yourself with your actions."
An Lin knew that Xiaolan was just putting up a front, so he remained silent with a buoyant smile on his face.
It would be meaningless to say anything at a time like this. All he had to do was to stay by her side and let the passage of time prove everything.
Thus, their life as fifth-year students began.
This was their final year at The United University of Cultivation, so most of the classes being taught were centered around survival skills, practical combat skills, as well as the exploration of dao.
An Lin was a seasoned warrior, so all of the practical combat classes were pretty useless to him.
After all, he was the small War God of the Heavenly Court, and he had proven himself to be more than just a capable warrior time and time again.
Exploration of dao was even more difficult for him to learn.
After all, An Lin didn't even know what type of cultivation he was doing, so how was he supposed to know what his dao was?
An Lin could already envision what this future year was going to be like.
He was only praying that his divine tool and his divine pill would be ready soon so that he could progress to the Return to Void Stage prior to his graduation. Otherwise, he really would be too embarrassed to graduate!
The radiant and enchanting light of the morning sun spilled in through the window.
Xiao Hong's sweet morning anthem had already begun.
"Master, a new day is here! Come do some exercise with me!"
She began to twist her thin stem from side to side as she sang.
An Lin opened his bleary eyes, and he was genuinely concerned that Xiao Hong's stem would snap during her vigorous activity.
"Big Brother An, have you decided on who is going to the Heavenly Peach Banquet, woof?!" Da Bai asked with wide, curious eyes.
He was actually quite interested in this huge banquet as well.
"I have. Let me read it out for you, " An Lin replied with a smile.
Da Bai immediately sat down obediently with a tense expression of anticipation on his face.
He trusted that his relationship with An Lin would earn him a spot, even if there were just two spots available. However, he was still quite uneasy as An Lin officially announced the list of twenty.
That's right, the seven Celestial Maidens had unleashed all sorts of tactics to successfully convince the Celestial Thearch and his wife to give the Four Nine Immortal Sect a total of twenty spots in the Heavenly Peach Banquet.
The Celestial Thearch had even "congratulated" An Lin via voice transmission talisman about this, which sent cold sweat running down An Lin's entire body.
An Lin cleared his throat before making his announcement.
"There will be a total of twenty representatives that will participate in the Heavenly Peach Banquet in the name of the Four Nine Immortal Sect. They are An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, Su Qianyun, Liu Qianhuan, Bai Ling, Xiao Ze, Xiao Tu, Tang Ximen, Long Aotian, Xiao Hong, Little Tian, Xiao Chou, Bai Yao, Little Na, Little Gu, Ye Ling, Little Lang, Bryce..."
"Gulp..." Da Bai was very nervous. There were nineteen names there, so only one spot was left.
An Lin looked at Da Bai with a hint of a smile on his face."Zhao Huaiyin..."
Boom!
Da Bai felt as if lightning had exploded in his head as he stared blankly at An Lin.
"Zhao Huaiyin... 's former master, Da Bai!" An Lin announced with a flourish.
Da Bai burst into tears of excitement, and he pounced on An Lin before scratching his chest with his paws in a frenzy."Big Brother An, you b*stard! You did that on purpose to scare me, woof!"
Thus, the final lineup was settled.
Everyone eagerly awaited the day of the Heavenly Peach Banquet.
At the Holy Glacial Lands.
The snow maidens and evil dragons had all evacuated this bleak and desolate land.
Frosty winds suddenly blew from within the very central region of the land, sweeping over millions of kilometers across the continent.
Snow suddenly began to fall in the Wind Plain State, even though it wasn't even winter yet.
In the western region of the Opposite Shore Realm, where the snow maidens were currently residing, snow suddenly began to fall from the dark sky overhead. Many of the snow maidens were overjoyed to finally see some snow and began to dance in the snow.
Within the newly-constructed Snow God Palace.
Shangguan Yi opened her eyes, and there appeared to be a black ice crystal being annihilated before reconstructing itself within her golden eyes.
A smile appeared on High Priestess Meng Zhi's face."My good disciple, you have already absorbed ten percent of the Ice Matriarch's spiritual power, and you've also progressed to the Return to Void Stage, so you're ready to cultivate in the mystic technique of the Ice Matriarch."
Shangguan Yi bowed slightly before turning toward the northeastern direction."I have a feeling that something is happening in our ancestral land. It's giving me a very dangerous feeling..."
A comforting smile appeared on Meng Zhi's face."That no longer has anything to do with us. It's not like the disaster of extreme cold can encroach upon the Opposite Shore Realm. Don't forget that this place—"
Boom!
An earth-shattering boom suddenly erupted.
Heaven and earth rocked violently all of a sudden.
"Bad news! Our defensive enchantment barrier has been penetrated by a snow mountain that has suddenly fallen out of the sky!" snow maidens from outside the palace suddenly let loose cries of surprise.
Meng Zhi: "???"
All of the snow maidens ran out from the palace, and all of them were dumbstruck at the sight of the gargantuan snow mountain falling from the sky.
Who threw this snow mountain? It had even smashed the enchantment barrier set up by the Great Empress!
A woman dressed in an imperial robe stepped through the air before turning a grave gaze upon the snow mountain in the sky.
Meng Zhi asked with a tense expression, "What's going on?"
The Great Empress spoke with furrowed brows, "You might not believe me, but... this snow mountain was blown here by the powerful frosty winds from the very central region of the Holy Glacial Lands..."
All of the snow maidens drew a sharp intake of breath.
The wind blew the mountain here?
What a joke!
How could a gust of wind carry such a gargantuan snow mountain?
"This is a very peculiar wind that is not only unimaginably powerful, but it also possesses a strange power, which was imbued upon the snow mountain, thereby allowing it to shatter my enchantment barrier.
"I'm just wondering if this is some sort of naturally occurring power or an artificial power..."
The Great Empress' brows furrowed as she looked at the plummeting snow mountain, and her lips parted slightly as she unleashed a breath of frosty yin energy, which pierced through space and landed on the snow mountain, making the area within a radius of five kilometers around it even more frosty.
"The power imbued within the snow mountain has disappeared? It would be fine if it was just naturally occurring power as that would only mean we're having some lousy luck, but if this really was an artificial force, then our opponent would have to be an extremely terrifying being...
"The accuracy and power of the wind, combined with that power that even I can't identify. This is a very worrying combination if we are indeed being targeted by an enemy capable of all this."
The Great Empress' features were etched with concern.
"If it really is a certain being that's targeting us, then... what is it trying to achieve by hurling a snow mountain at us?" Meng Zhi was perplexed.
Just as they were talking, the Great Empress' expression abruptly shifted."Be careful!"
All of the snow maidens turned to look up into the sky again.
Another gargantuan snow mountain was hurtling toward them from a distance.
"Again?!" The Great Empress' expression shifted as she launched a palm toward the snow mountain.
Her palm was imbued with her power of the divine dao, and it encompassed the space within a radius of several dozen kilometers, thus enshrouding the entire snow mountain as if she were trying to slap it away.
However, in the next instant, the snow mountain passed through her power of the divine dao completely unscathed!
Boom!
The snow mountain crashed through the enchantment and violently plummeted down into the snow maidens' territory.
Some of the snow maidens that didn't have time to get away were crushed under the snow mountain forever.
All of the snow maidens stared blankly at this development. Even an idiot knew that this was not a coincidence anymore. They were definitely being targeted!
Right at this moment, a few more black spots appeared on the horizon before slowly approaching and expanding in size.
More snow mountains!
"Run!" the Great Empress yelled, and her voice traveled throughout the entire snow maiden territory.
All of the snow maidens fled for their lives, but one snow mountain after another crashed down upon their territory.
This was a cataclysmic disaster.
The poor snow maidens had no choice but to flee deeper into the Opposite Shore Realm.
