Abyss Walker

Chapter 188 Cold Moon

The battle between Yun Muhan and the guardian beast was extremely fierce. In the hundreds of rounds of fighting, both sides displayed amazing strength and skills, and it was difficult to determine a winner for a time.

Yun Muhan's swordsmanship was like a storm, each strike filled with power and speed, while the guardian beast countered with its massive body and astonishing strength, forcing Yun Muhan to dodge each attack with all his might.

In this tense duel, Yun Muhan realized that he could not win with Dugu Huo's power alone, and he had to change his tactics. He quickly withdrew Dugu Huo, summoned Dugu Du, and shouted "Poison Dragon Devours the Sun".

With his shout, a powerful poisonous force surged from the Dugu Sword, a force with corrosive and destructive properties, heading straight for the guardian beast.

Sensing the threat of this power, the guardian beast swiftly retreated its massive body, disappearing into the depths of the ice tower.

Yun Muhan's attack, "Poison Dragon Eroding the Sun," clearly made the guardian beast wary, forcing it to retreat temporarily to avoid being injured by the poisonous power.

He stood there, panting heavily, a resolute and unyielding look in his eyes. He gripped the Lone Sword tightly, ready to face the next challenge, whether it was to continue fighting the guardian beast or to find a chance to escape.

"Not bad." The woman looked at Yun Muhan, a hint of appreciation flashing in her eyes. "Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Yun Muhan was stunned for a moment, then knelt down without hesitation and said, "Master, please accept my bow!"

The woman nodded in satisfaction: "Get up. From now on, you are my disciple. My name is Leng Yue, and I am now the master of this glacier peak."

Yun Muhan chuckled inwardly. As Leng Yue turned away, Dugu Jian instantly appeared, immediately activating 'Blazing Heaven'. However, Dugu Jian showed no reaction. Yun Muhan quickly sheathed Dugu Jian and regained his composure.

"Master, why is this guardian beast here?" Yun Muhan asked, changing the subject.

Leng Yue seemed to sense Yun Muhan's actions and said calmly, "This guardian beast is a divine beast, ordered by my master to guard this place. If anyone dares to trespass, they will be attacked by it."

Yun Muhan was shocked. This guardian beast was so powerful. If it weren't for the suppression of this place, I really wouldn't have been able to defeat it.

“However, now that you are my disciple, it will no longer harm you,” Leng Yue said.

Leng Yue walked towards the snowfield, and Yun Muhan quickly followed.

Yun Muhan followed Leng Yue's footsteps, his heart filled with curiosity and awe for his new master. He knew that becoming the disciple of the master of the Glacier Peak was a rare opportunity for him. Most importantly, this master's identity was definitely not simple.

"Master, what secrets lie at the summit of this glacier?" Yun Muhan couldn't help but ask, his gaze wandering across this frozen world, trying to find the answer.

Leng Yue stopped and turned to face Yun Muhan. Her eyes were deep, as if she could see into his soul: "The summit of the glacier is an ancient and mysterious place, hiding many unknown secrets. As my disciple, you will gradually learn about all of this in the future."

Yun Muhan nodded; he could sense the seriousness and expectation in Leng Yue's words. He knew he was about to embark on a challenging path.

"Now, come with me." Leng Yue said, leading Yun Muhan toward an ice-sculpted palace.

The palace gates slowly opened, and a blast of cold air rushed out, but Yun Muhan did not feel cold because the Dugu Fire within his body was warming him.

"This is your new residence, and also where you will cultivate," Leng Yue said, pointing to a room inside the palace. "Here, you will learn true martial arts and magic."

Yun Muhan looked around and saw that the palace was ornately decorated, with ice-sculpted tables, chairs, bookshelves, and beds, all exuding a cold and austere beauty. He was secretly amazed, and at the same time, he was filled with anticipation for the cultivation life that was about to begin.

"Master, I will cultivate diligently and live up to your expectations," Yun Muhan said firmly.

Leng Yue smiled slightly, a hint of relief in her eyes: "Alright, your cultivation will officially begin tomorrow. Tonight, get some rest and prepare to face the new challenges."

Yun Muhan bowed respectfully and then went into his room.

Dugu Jianling: Your cultivation level issue remains unresolved; no matter how strong she is, she still can't achieve it. Do you remember our agreement?

Yun Muhan: I remember, but I'm facing a being that even you fear in the rest of your memories. In any case, now we can only wait.

Yun Muhan slowly walked into the room, his movements revealing a hint of fatigue, but even more so, anticipation for the upcoming cultivation.

He reached out and gently pushed the ice-sculpted door shut. As the door closed, the noise of the outside world was shut out, as if isolating him from the whole world.

Inside the room, everything appeared so tranquil and solemn. The ice-sculpted furniture shimmered with a faint blue light under the moonlight, adding a touch of mystery and serenity to the space.

Every detail of these pieces of furniture is meticulously carved, from the armrests of the ice chairs to the edges of the ice tables; each piece appears lifelike, as if it were a masterpiece of nature.

Yun Muhan sat on the ice sculpture bed, the surface of which was polished to a smooth, mirror-like finish. A chill emanated from it, yet it unexpectedly gave people a sense of tranquil warmth.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the chill around him. This chill, like a clear spring, cleansed his body and mind, bringing him greater peace.

Yun Muhan's breathing gradually became calm and deep. He began to adjust his internal energy, allowing his body and mind to reach a state of harmony.

In this tranquil space, he will begin his cultivation, absorbing the cold energy to strengthen his physique and improve his cultivation level.

Moonlight streamed through the icy window, bathing Yun Muhan in a silvery glow.
