The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 494 - 224: Heavenly Punishment, No Promotion_1

"Whoosh."

The cold wind was harsh, and snowflakes fluttered in the air.

Once again, it was a chilling winter. The earth was wrapped in a thick layer of silver frost. Mountains and rivers stretched as far as the eye could see, forests spanned thousands of miles, everywhere was a world of pink and jade.

Normally active wild Fond Spirits, were now hidden away.

They hid underground, deep in the marshes, patiently awaiting the arrival of spring next year.

"Caw! Caw caw!"

Snowflakes the size of palms danced like butterflies, swiftly submerging the low shrubs.

A pink blur was sweeping through the snow, sometimes diving, sometimes circling, seemingly free and relaxed.

"Roar!"

Another huge bird with wings spanning ten meters flew into the sky.

It had the head of a wolf and the wings of a sparrow. With only a low growl, the frozen stream cracked and broke, surprisingly unable to withstand the power of its roar.

"Da da...da da..."

The Eight-Legged Cattle Horse was pacing on a hillside, plucking dried flowers and weeds from the snow, nibble by nibble, taking its time to savor them leisurely.

"Ah! Ah ah ahh!"

High in the sky, hundreds of birds were circling. Leading them was a medium-sized bird with thick wings and a tawny color.

It stretched its long neck and gently flapped its wings, which stirred up a whirlwind of sand around it.

At this moment, the sandy grit and density, the purity and softness of the snow, echoed each other, presenting an unusual scene of diversity.

"Hmph!"

The Goose Immortal, whose webbed feet were stuck in the snow as if they were in a deep pit, craned its neck to glance at the sky.

Then it closed its eyes, allowing the violent snowstorm to ruthlessly submerge it.

"Ah! Ah ah!"

The Sand Sculpture seemed to sense something, it swooped and circled, shouting at the Goose Immortal.

If there were a Human Master here who understood bird language, they could probably discern the meaning within these cries:

"Big brother! Big snowfall! Come play!"

"Clang!"

The Goose Immortal flapped its wings and under the gust of wind, the snowflakes flew into the sky.

"Shoo, shoo, don’t bother me."

"We are not little chicks anymore, what’s there to play? I don’t have the mood!"

"Ah! Ah ah!"

The Sand Sculpture relentlessly kept on squawking and just refused to leave.

Goose Immortal was really annoyed, it used all its strength to flap its wings, causing the violent cold wind and snow to splash around.

However, the Sand Sculpture merely formed a thin barrier of yellow sand, and its flight was unaffected.

"You have reached the Life Wheel Virtual Summon, now as your master, I can’t give you military training, go play yourself!"

Goose Immortal glared, the Sand Sculpture pulled back its neck and obediently flew away.

"Immortal~Immortal~"

There came the Blade Leader, flapping its wings and flying over.

It looked exactly alike to the Goose Immortal, no matter how you compared, there was no difference.

If there was any distinction, it would be that Goose Immortal was six parts melancholic, three parts irritated, and one part lazy.

And this imposter, was seven parts naive, three parts leisurely, and the remaining ninety percent were all mischievous.

"You too, get away! I don’t want to see you!"

Goose Immortal flapped its wings, like an old woman driving someone away with a broomstick.

"Boring! I won’t play with you anymore!"

GuaGua made a "plop" sound and changed back into the Top Student Frog.

Again with a "plop" sound, it transformed into the Sand Sculpture and took flight.

On the way, hundreds of flying creatures stepped aside. Frightening creatures like the Wolf King Bird, green like Wood Bird, keen like the Swift Light Bat... they all carefully dodged.

Any bird with clear vision could see that the two Sand Sculptures, one real and one fake, looked exactly alike in appearance.

Only by the naked eye could one discover that one could control yellow sand, while the other could not.

"Hehe, Immortal is getting more and more like a nagging woman now, all day listless, the once spirited fighter is all but gone..."

On a higher mountain peak, there was a temporarily set up pavilion.

A group of three to five people sat together, sipping warm wine and conversing quietly.

"Who else can you blame?"

"In the past, its entourage under its cultivation, promoted to the Wheel of Life Embryo early, their combat power is already above it."

"Of course, this is not a matter of a day or two, we are used to it."

"But a week ago, when GuaGua woke up from a nap, it surprisingly promoted to the Wheel of Life Embryo as well. Its so casual and free breakthrough method really stimulated Immortal..."

Huo Xin and Dong Feng, wore smiles that read ’love to watch the world burn’, and communicated with each other via eye contact.

Yu Yu rolled her eyes, chewing snacks while reminding:

"On this mountain, Immortal is still relentless. No one dares to provoke it."

"Lower your voices. If it hears you, all it needs is a whistle and hundreds of birds will come and bite you."

"Do you think I’m stupid?" Huo Xin chuckled, "I crushed a silence talisman before I dared to brag from such a close distance."

"Oh." Yu Yu glanced at him sideways, "Who was stripped and buried in the mud last time, showing only two butt cheeks?"

"Miss Yu, if I remember correctly, I gave you ten boxes of snacks last time, and we agreed not to mention this again!"

Huo Xin glared, the air puffed from his nostrils in his anger.

"Yan sister, look at him, he looks like a domestic abuser, how could you date someone like him!"

Yu Yu wiped the oil stain on her fingers, hurriedly hugged Yan Xuehui’s arm, putting on a pitiful expression, and began to complain.

"Enough, it’s rare that we have time to gather together, and you started bickering as soon as we sat down..."

Yan Xuehui sighed, sat in the middle of the two, separating them.

"With the three countries, how are things looking recently?" Tan Ziping restarted the topic and asked seriously.
