Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 13 The character "Dao" (道), the woman in the black dress

Although Qingnu was of noble birth, she would eventually fall if she maintained this kind of mentality. However, looking at the excited Qingnu in front of him, Taiwei smiled to himself, thinking that he would not be the one to worry about in the future.

"If you want to study the 'Six Yin Formless True Method of Ice Soul' in detail, there will be plenty of time later. Now let's talk about the conditions."

"I helped you solve the big problem of Chi Lu, and I also helped you realize the true origin of the Great Snow Mountain. In addition, I also helped you understand the top-level book in the world, the 'Six Yin Formless True Method of Ice Soul.' You owe me a lot of favors, so in return, you have to grant me a request."

Qingnu withdrew her divine sense from the Ice Soul Pill with a blank expression, seemingly having not heard what Taiwei had said earlier.

Shaking his head, Taiwei repeated his words again. Upon hearing Taiwei's words, Qingnu put away the Ice Soul Pill in her hand, came before Taiwei, and bowed deeply: "Brother Dao, I thank you again for your kindness in imparting knowledge and teaching me!"

"Brother Dao, your kindness to Qing Nu is akin to giving her a second life; if you have any request, Qing Nu will never refuse!"

Taiwei looked at Qingnu, who was bowing to him three times with a respectful expression, and was slightly taken aback. Looking at Qingnu's resolute expression, Taiwei was somewhat surprised: "As expected of the destined ruler of the far west, she still has the spirit she should have. This is for the best."

He reached out and helped Qingnu up. Looking at the sincerity on the girl's face, Taiwei hesitated for the first time.

Hidden in his sleeve, Taiwei slowly dissipated the primordial energy of the Great Snow Mountain that had been stripped from Qingnu's body from his left hand. He sighed, "After all, I have undergone a tribulation once. My cold and ruthless Dao heart has become somewhat weak."

"I won't lie to you, I owe someone a favor before, and now I'm thinking of repaying it. It just so happens that the person is looking for an apprentice, and with your qualifications, you should be able to catch their eye."

"But I need to warn you in advance that that person has a difficult personality to get along with. If you really become her personal disciple, things might not be easy for you in the future."

Qingnu looked at Taiwei and breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Taiwei would make some difficult request, but she didn't expect that it was just to become someone else's disciple. Qingnu agreed without any hesitation.

"In the vast and boundless world, the master-disciple relationship is even stronger than the blood ties. Once you become someone else's disciple, it means your destiny is now linked to theirs. You don't even know who I'm going to give you to, yet you've already agreed so readily?"

Taiwei is now certain that the Heavenly Dao inheritance that Qingnu obtained must be incomplete. Perhaps the Heavenly Dao inheritance that should have belonged to her was mostly blocked by the Great Snow Mountain. Otherwise, why would Qingnu not know such common knowledge?

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Qingnu's delicate face. Looking at Taiwei with anticipation, she said, "Brother Dao is already so powerful, the master you introduced me to must be incredibly powerful too. Is he a Golden Immortal?!"

"Golden Immortal?" A soft laugh escaped his lips. Taiwei shook his head at Qingnu, walked directly to an ice crystal table beside her, and wrote the character "Dao" in a flamboyant style. He then turned to look at Qingnu, who looked completely bewildered.

"After I leave, you should integrate a wisp of the Great Snow Mountain's essence within you into this 'Dao' character. Your master will then contact you. Whether she accepts you or not, as long as you establish contact with her, the karmic debt between us will be settled."

After saying this, Taiwei looked at the character "Dao" on the ice crystal desk that had suddenly begun to shine brightly, and a smile appeared on his face: "Has it grown to this level? It seems I need to speed up my progress as well."

Taiwei waved to the bewildered Qingnu, and his figure instantly transformed into a long rainbow and disappeared from Qingnu's perception range.

Looking at the radiant "Dao" character on the desk, Qing Nu hesitated for a moment, but soon her expression became firm, and a wisp of the Great Snow Mountain's essence slowly flowed out from her body and merged into the patterns of the "Dao" character.

"The Lord of the Western Paradise?" A clear and melodious female voice, yet carrying a hint of majesty, rang out. Qing Nu looked at the vast and boundless sea of ​​stars around her, her expression somewhat bewildered, not understanding how she had suddenly appeared here.

Just then, a fair and delicate hand appeared in the sea of ​​stars. The smooth, white arm, radiating a luminous glow, immediately drew Qing Nu's attention.

A woman dressed in a long black dress, with snow-white skin and a slender, graceful figure, appeared before Qing Nu. The contrast between black and white was like a touch of stunning beauty revealed in the collision of light and darkness.

Her elegant and noble face, yet with a touch of girlish liveliness, captivated Qing Nu for a long time. It wasn't until a slender white finger gently tapped Qing Nu's brow that the destined ruler of the far west was awakened.

"Sister... ah, no, I mean Master, hello!"

Qingnu looked at the woman in front of her and was about to perform the formal ceremony of becoming a disciple without saying a word. However, the woman in the black dress simply waved her hand, and Qingnu found herself unable to move at all. With dissatisfied and confused eyes, she looked at the flawless face in front of her.

ding ding ding...

The white jade hairpin hanging from the woman's ink-black hair made a crisp, melodious sound, clearing away all the distracting thoughts in Qingnu's mind.

"Are you calm now? Then tell me, how did you know you were connected to me by the word 'Tao'? Who told you? What was that person's Taoist name, appearance, and what did they say to you?"

Her voice was slightly hurried, and the woman in the black dress seemed to care a lot about Taiwei, but not so much about the Lord of the Far West who had unlimited potential.

Qingnu looked at the woman in front of her with a confused expression. She could only tell the woman about all her conversations and transactions with Taiwei, and that she had come to be her apprentice.

"This kind of inconsiderate behavior can only be from you. I knew a menace like you couldn't possibly die so easily!"

The woman in the black dress showed a fleeting look of excitement, but the smile that appeared on her lips made Qing Nu momentarily lose her composure.

The Great Snow Mountain Source within her body trembled at this moment, and Qing Nu exhaled a breath of cold air, instantly regaining her senses. Looking at the "Dao" character pattern that appeared in front of the woman in the black dress, a look of doubt flashed across Qing Nu's face.

Although this character "Dao" was almost exactly the same as the one Taiwei had written before, for some reason, Qingnu still felt that the "Dao" in front of her was more mysterious and indescribable.

Just by looking at it, her understanding of the "Ice Soul Six Yin Formless True Method" accelerated several times over, and even her refining speed of the Great Snow Mountain's origin also increased significantly.
