Before he could figure it out, Huang Quan suddenly asked him, "Are you a descendant of some ancient race?"
Upon hearing this question, the man was slightly taken aback, but after a moment, he understood: "It seems that the guardian of this cemetery has told you a lot of things!"
Huang Quan knew that the "guardian" the man was referring to was the deceased giant. After all, in this cemetery, apart from the controlled spirits, only that giant was able to move freely.
But Huang Quan did not respond to him; his eyes merely flickered, as if he were deep in thought.
However, Huang Quan was able to guess his identity not because the big man told him, but because he had seen so many people from the outside world and had unknowingly developed the ability to discern them on his own.
Like two identical twins, once you spend enough time with them, subtle differences will appear, and that is exactly what Huang Quan is like now.
There was no suspense; the outsider who was talking to Huang Quan was none other than Huang Mao, who had been trapped in the cemetery earlier.
Perhaps it was because the battle between Huang Quan and the Ghost Lord was too intense that the tomb was damaged and became abnormal, which is why Huang Mao was able to find an opportunity to escape from that strange passage!
Seeing that Huang Quan remained silent, Huang Mao calmed himself down and continued, "I don't have any deep-seated hatred for you, and I don't want to have too much to do with you, so I think... we can get through this period of time peacefully."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Huang Quan seemed to understand Huang Mao's meaning. His eyes lit up, and he said, "You want to cooperate with me?"
"Yes."
"Is that so?" Huang Quan murmured at that moment.
During their conversation, the two finally arrived at the front of the altar. Huang Mao waved his left hand, dispelling the barrier.
In the next instant, the two focused their attention on the altar, or rather, on the three orbs of light on its surface. It was quite obvious that each orb of light was an item that was enough to cause a sensation outside.
"What do you want?" Huang Quan withdrew his gaze and spoke again.
Upon hearing Huang Quan's question, Huang Mao pondered for a while before softly saying, "A true technique, its name is -- Adding insult to injury!"
"Adding insult to injury... True Technique? Ha... You really have a big appetite!" Huang Quan smiled, neither confirming nor denying, but then said, "But this True Technique shouldn't be so easy to obtain, right?"
"I know... From what I understand, the three inheritances here are related to cultivation, techniques, and insights, respectively, and seem to encompass everything about the Snow Soul Spirit God..."
"As you can imagine, those who are tempted by them must endure various trials; if they cannot withstand them, they will die from the backlash..."
"If I'm not mistaken, the leftmost orb of light should be related to cultivation, which is a pill; the one on the right is related to comprehension, which is the soul snowflake of the Snow Soul Spirit God; and the one in the middle is related to techniques, which is the 'adding insult to injury' I'm looking for..."
"I'll just add insult to injury, and you can do whatever you want with the rest... how about it?" Huang Mao said, taking a slight step back. Perhaps it was because he had witnessed the battle just now and understood the strength of Huang Quan, and because he really didn't want to go to war with Huang Quan, that he made this decision!
But at that moment, before Huang Quan could reply, a very delicate and gentle voice reached their ears.
"Is it just the two of you?"
The two people who heard the voice were not too shocked, as if they had already discovered its existence.
"The last wisp of the Snow Soul Spirit God's soul." Huang Quan remained silent, while Huang Mao murmured.
In fact, from the first moment Huang Mao saw Hu Li, he felt that Hu Li was not simple. There is an insurmountable gap between cultivators and ordinary people. No matter how good an ordinary person is at interpersonal relationships, it is impossible to keep maneuvering among cultivators unless that person has a problem.
That's why Huang Maocai wasn't too surprised by Hu Li's identity.
Soon enough, Hu Li, an ancient powerhouse, slowly appeared in front of Huang Quan and Huang Mao from the sky. She was still so young and so beautiful, but there was a faint chill in her expression.
She first looked at Huang Mao, then at Huang Quan. Her expression was indifferent, but she involuntarily exuded a terrifying aura, causing Huang Quan and Huang Mao to take a few steps back at the same time. However, the former only took one step back, while the latter took more than four steps back.
"I'm not going to waste any more words. If you want my inheritance, you have to pass my test! Who wants to go first? Don't waste my time, give me an answer now!" Hu Lihua said bluntly, her expression unchanged.
After stabilizing his body, Huang Mao gritted his teeth and, enduring Hu Li's breath, immediately responded: "I'll go first, I want to make things worse for you!"
It's clear that he's trying to seize the right to choose.
But Huang Quan didn't care at all; he didn't speak, nor did he want to.
"No problem! It all depends on whether you have the ability to get it." Hu Li's voice rang out again, and then a huge white light instantly shone on Huang Mao.
For a moment, some snowflakes were still falling around Guanghua, but Huang Mao inside Guanghua was nowhere to be seen.
Upon seeing this, Huang Quan knew that he had already gone to another dimension.
Time always seems to pass slowly when someone is waiting, making them feel lonely and instilling despair. Fortunately, Huang Quan had grown accustomed to this environment and had lost any reason to despair...
"After fighting that person, don't you have any questions for me?" After a brief silence, Hu Li's voice rang out again, but her tone was no longer domineering; instead, it had a calm quality to it.
"I've pretty much guessed what you're trying to say. I wasn't sure before, but now that you've said it, I'm certain." As he spoke, Huang Quan gradually sat down cross-legged, as if relaxing and cultivating his mind.
"I didn't mean to lie to you. I don't want to die yet, but I'm not a person of this world, and I don't have the right to reincarnate. So if I die, then I'll truly die..."
“Perhaps you don’t quite understand what I’m doing, but ask yourself honestly, I’ve never harmed you. All I want now is to pass on my legacy. I hope you can help me… Is that alright?” Hu Li suddenly pleaded.
But after hearing Hu Li's words, Huang Quan did not answer immediately. He calmed himself down and then asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with anything else.
"I really want to know, what is the purpose of you people who came from another world? Can you tell me?"
"Hmm?" Seemingly not expecting Huang Quan to ask this question, Hu Li was silent for a few moments, but quickly asked in return, "If I tell you, will you agree to my request?"
"Yes." Huang Quan nodded without hesitation.
"Alright then." Without further thought, Hu Li seemed to have made up her mind.
Gradually, Hu Li began to tell Huang Quan all the more confidential things, without holding anything back.
After hearing these things, Huang Quan's expression changed repeatedly. When he heard the key points, his eyes even shrank involuntarily, which showed how shocked he was.
After calming his guilty conscience, Huang Quan subconsciously asked, "Is everything you said true?"
"Of course it's true. Otherwise, why would we outsiders come to this continent? There are no abundant resources here, no vast territory, and apart from the Southern Region, we don't even look at the other three places. There's no reason for us to come to such a place..."
"We had no choice but to come here!" Hu Li said bitterly.
"Is it inevitable? Could it be... that the Underworld Lord is also like this?" Huang Quan murmured to himself. He was not one to easily trust others, but now he believed what Hu Li said, because he knew that Hu Li had no reason to lie to him.
Just then, Hu Li seemed to sense something. After a slight change in her expression, she said again, "His test is over. Now... it's your turn."
Hu Li's words naturally interrupted Huang Quan, causing him to raise an eyebrow and regain his composure.
"This is your choice, so..."
“No need, come on!” Huang Quan replied resolutely, his eyes filled with determination.
"Yes, I believe you too." At this moment, Hu Li nodded and showed a faint smile.
As Hu Li's voice gradually subsided, a snow-white light, carrying a subtle chill, slowly descended upon Huang Quan...
The space was pure white.
After reopening his eyes, Huang Quan stood there peacefully...
He had become completely accustomed to this snow-white color...
And he was waiting, waiting for his test.
Suddenly, a soft, feminine voice slowly rang out...
"The last person chose magic, so my test is magic. This is the rule. What... what is your choice?" This was Hu Li's voice, but it seemed to be a few degrees deeper.
Huang Quan's expression remained unchanged as he calmly asked, "How is he?"
"No, I didn't want to hurt the people of my hometown, so I sent him away," the voice said after a moment's hesitation.
"Is that so..." Upon hearing this, Huang Quan appeared to be deep in thought. After a while, his eyes hardened, and he continued, "I've made up my mind. I choose all the inheritances, which means accepting all the remaining trials!"
"Hmm?" Suddenly, the voice seemed surprised by Huang Quan's choice, and after a while, it spoke again: "Okay."
But as soon as she finished speaking, a flurry of snowflakes began to fall silently in the pristine white space, and the snowfall was strangely unexpected...
"what?"
At this moment, Huang Quan suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the sky above this space, and his profound intent suddenly spread out above. However, even with his powerful profound intent, he still could not find out its source: "What's going on?"
In an instant, a strong sense of crisis immediately reached his mind.
But just as he was wondering, the falling snow had already landed on his clothes...
But at this moment, a strange scene appeared: the snow did not adhere to the clothes, but instead passed through them and adhered to Huang Quan's skin.
In that instant, a chill filled Huang Quan's body, as if that place itself had frozen even his soul...
"Ah!" A painful cry suddenly roared from Huang Quan's mouth.
“This snow…” Gritting his teeth, Huang Quan came back to his senses and immediately understood the strangeness of the snow. In his astonishment, he also released his spiritual power to protect his entire body.
But then, something unexpected happened.
The heavy snow continues...
It still penetrated his spiritual energy defenses, still attached itself to Huang Quan's body, and still brought him unimaginable pain!
It seems as if the snow will never end, and so will the pain...
"How could this be?!" Huang Quan's eyes widened as he stared at the snow, his expression one of utter disbelief and utter helplessness...
Now, the snow has fallen again!
"Ah!!" The cry of pain was heart-wrenching.
"Is this... my test?"
Suddenly, another change occurred: the white snow, in the eyes of the Yellow Springs, turned red...
The red snow fell on him, seeping into his very bones, yet it brought him a different feeling...
"Red snow? Hmm? Why, why do I suddenly want to close my eyes... close my eyes..."
At this moment, an unbearable fatigue seemed to instantly engulf Huang Quan's body, making him unable to pay attention to Hong Xue and forcing him to... close his eyes!
cold.
What does "cold" mean?
Is it the temperature outside, or some unknown emotion within?
Perhaps, its essence, precisely because of the technique of adding insult to injury, was clearly manifested in Huang Quan's body, bringing him coldness in his body and also giving him a chill in his heart!
In that instant when the snowflakes were dancing in the air, besides the excruciating pain, countless images seemed to float into Huang Quan's mind, affecting everything about him, causing him to unconsciously... close his eyes!
Hu Li is the Snow Soul Spirit Goddess. Her power lies not only in snow but also in the soul, which is why she was able to create the Heavenly Soul Clan. However, she did not pass on the power of snow to her clansmen, for fear that they would betray her one day.
Clearly, her idea was correct, and her actions were correct. However, those traitors did not give up the power of snow because of this. Otherwise, the descendants of the Xuan Gui God would not have been searching for her hiding place all this time.
Now, Hu Li's power of snow has penetrated deep into Huang Quan's soul.
This reminded Huang Quan of many things, such as when he witnessed the massacre of the entire village, when he was used as a demonic child to be sacrificed by Zhou You in Li Mozong, when Da Huangfeng was gradually weakening, and when those important people died one by one before his eyes...
His heart was cold and aching.
Memories are a powerful weapon; he has no choice but to endure them.
