Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 201: Chen Xuanyue’s Intuition

The bell rang, and the spirits carrying the coffin returned to the same spot. Wei Huo and the others immediately lifted their heads and looked in the direction of the bell.

Following that, they saw the shadow of a golden bell high in the sky. The shadow started dissipating after letting out a bell sound.

Although the golden bell was only an illusion, they still saw countless runes on it. However, this illusion only lasted for a moment.

The golden bell’s shadow disappeared. The bell suppressed the stone coffin, preventing the spirits from leaving the city. Once they reached the edge, the golden bell would appear and ring.

The moment the bell rang, the spirit bodies returned to their positions.

Chen Xuanyue stared at the main peak of Kunlun Mountain and said confidently, “The main body of this bell must be on the main peak!”

Wei Huo asked, “How do you know?”

“Erm...” Chen Xuanyue could not find any reason to explain at first. However, she then explained, “Generally speaking, when faced with situations like this, wouldn’t it be natural to determine that it’s on Kunlun Mountain? It’s intuition!”

Chen Xuanyue clenched her fists and emphasized, “This is intuition. That’s right. My strong intuition told me!”

Wei Huo: “...”

Intuition could explain everything. Many ancient works of literature that had been passed down for hundreds of years described the intuition of protagonists.

“This mountain is extraordinary. There must be a treasure hidden here. Let me go in and take a look.” I’ll get a bunch of treasures if I go in. However, how is this mountain extraordinary?

Perhaps one might find an old man holding a firewood knife among a group of woodcutters. After approaching him and befriending him, one might realize that this person is the leader of a sect after a few chapters. How did one make this discovery?

He could not afford to provoke such an intuitive monster.

Chen Xuanyue suddenly had a strong intuition. She said, “I can feel it. The Dao Scripture must be hidden at the top of the main peak of Kunlun Mountain. However, climbing the mountain is useless. We have to enter the mountain!”

Chen Xuanyue’s eyes flickered. She put her intuition into full gear, as she wanted to defy the heavens. “Follow me. I can feel an ancient path. This path will definitely lead to the belly of the mountain.”

Chen Xuanyue flew into the air and headed in the direction of Kunlun Mountain. She was very determined, as if she could feel the path leading to the belly of the mountain.

Wei Huo: “...”

This is not your intuition. You’re reading the script!

The group of people followed Chen Xuanyue forward. However, after taking a few steps, Chen Xuanyue hid in Wei Huo’s pocket in fear. The reason was a swing in front of them that was moving without any wind. The swing was rusty, and there was no one on it. However, it was swaying back and forth.

The swing’s oscillations were huge, reaching at least 30 degrees. The most terrifying thing was that there was no wind at all. It was as if an invisible person was playing with the swing.

However, how could an invisible person come and play with the swing out of boredom? There was only one thing that would come to play with the swing in such a place!

Wei Huo walked over. Chen Xuanyue, who was terrified, extended her hand and pointed ahead. “Continue moving forward. I have a hunch that there’s a path leading to the belly of the mountain not far ahead.”

Wei Huo walked over and the swing hit his calf with a bang. Then, they saw a little girl who had fallen to the ground gradually reveal her blurry figure. The little girl lifted her head and looked at Wei Huo with a grumbling expression.

She was unhappy. Normal people would avoid swings that moved without any wind.

“Aren’t you afraid?” the little girl asked. Her voice was extremely cold, as if it came from the underworld.

Chen Xuanyue hid in his pocket and trembled. Wei Huo did not say anything as he walked forward. The little girl was furious. It was fine if she could not scare him, but she was disregarded when she revealed her true form. Did she have any dignity as a ghost?

“Stop right there!” The little girl caught up with him and revealed her pale hands. Her hands were cold, and even the temperature of the air was lower. She rushed forward to hug Wei Huo’s ankle.

This was her ultimate move. She could hug a human’s ankle and make them feel pain. Over time, their feet would get rheumatism. This move was commonly known as Ghost Hugging Legs.

However, a moment later, she was sent flying with a bang. Wei Huo’s Qi and blood were too strong. He had sent her flying.

The little girl who had been sent flying cried out loud. She felt like she had failed. She did not have any dignity as a ghost. She cried, “I’ve failed! I don’t want to be a ghost anymore!”

Chen Xuanyue extended her head carefully and stole a glance at the little girl. She still looked afraid.

Wei Huo asked, “Why are you so afraid of ghosts?”

Chen Xuanyue pulled her head back. “I was kidnapped by an Epic-ranked Ghost King when I was young. Although I created the Mystic Yin Ice Soul Skill because of that experience, it became my nightmare. I became afraid of the dark and ghosts!”

Chen Xuanyue continued talking about her history. Her mother had been at the peak of the Legendary stage, but she had passed away at the age of 20. Her father was just an ordinary craftsman. It had been very difficult for him to support the three of them. Besides, her elder brother and sister were both ordinary people. Only she had displayed extraordinary talent at a young age. Her talent was unique. She had been chosen by the Ghost King and been kidnapped by him. In order to escape from the Ghost Cave, Chen Xuanyue had worked hard to cultivate. In addition to her special physique, she had created the Ice Soul Skill at a young age. In the end, when the Ghost King had gone out, she had killed the Ghost General guarding the Ghost Cave and escaped.

The reason Chen Xuanyue had created a cultivation technique that could freeze souls was closely related to her experiences when she was young. Her physique was too terrifying. She had been able to kill the Ghost General at a young age.

Wei Huo and the two rocs did not speak. After listening to the story, they walked to the foot of the main peak of Kunlun Mountain. It was a small path that led to the peak of Kunlun Mountain.

Chen Xuanyue stopped talking and checked the path carefully. She pointed at a pile of rubble on one side. “My intuition tells me that digging through this rubble will lead to the belly of Kunlun Mountain!”

Wei Huo was speechless. He then asked, “Don’t tell me you created a cultivation technique and killed a Ghost General. You escaped from the Ghost Cave by relying on your intuition?”

Chen Xuanyue was proud. “That’s right. My intuition has never been wrong!”

Wei Huo did not speak. He instead started to clean up the rubble. However, there was no tunnel under the rubble.

Chen Xuanyue was confused. “That shouldn’t be the case. How could my intuition be wrong? This tunnel must be buried. It needs to be dug out!”

Wei Huo glanced at her and started digging. Ten minutes later, although he dug a huge hole, there was still no tunnel.

Chen Xuanyue panicked and pointed at the pile of rubble on the other side. “I sensed wrong. It should be this pile of rubble!”

Wei Huo lifted the broken bronze sword and slashed twice. The broken bronze sword emitted an indomitable aura. Two sword auras slashed over. The first sword aura cut all the rubble away, and the second sword aura penetrated the mountain a few meters deep. However, there was still no tunnel.

Chen Xuanyue could not hold it in any longer. She pointed with her small hands. “The tunnel is nearby. That’s right. My intuition is very accurate!”

At that moment, a chime came from Wei Huo’s body. “That’s a magical Heavenly Road.”

Wei Huo’s face darkened. He knew that System Number Two had woken up.
