Chapter 622: Chapter 372: The Child Nurturing Medicine! The Saint Master as an Ingredient!_2
But now that the Longevity True Monarch has awakened, the Medicine Gatherer arrives and is not in a hurry to harvest!
This not only did not make the Longevity True Monarch feel relieved, but also instilled a kind of unspeakable fear!
The Medicine Gatherer is not in a hurry to harvest!
There is only one reason for this!
He can pick this Great Medicine from the garden at any time!
No matter what means the Longevity True Monarch has, no matter what method he uses, he can no longer escape!
This is the confidence of the Medicine Gatherer!
This is also the real reason why the Longevity True Monarch feels fear!
——
On the Great Snow Mountain.
The mountain stood tall, reaching into the clouds, with ridges undulating.
To the east lies the direction of the Residual Prison Mansion, adjacent to the eight-thousand-mile territory under the Longevity True Monarch’s command.
To the west is the vast desert, desolate and barren.
On the ridgeline, a child with simple clothes, carrying a bamboo basket, held a medicinal hoe.
He gazed toward the western desert, his young face full of anticipation, murmuring: "This medicine garden, ever since my teacher harvested it, has lain barren for so many years, truly a pity... Once I sow it, the next sixty-year cycle will surely yield a Great Medicine!"
On the snow mountain, the cold wind howled.
As the wind and snow mingled, a figure, all in white, came forward, face obscured.
He is the king of this Great Snow Mountain!
A malicious spirit born of the wind and snow!
Every winter, his abilities greatly enhance!
But after winter, he can only huddle on this Great Snow Mountain, feeding on the snow demons born each winter, maintaining his path year-round without weakening with the seasons.
"Since the great one doesn’t eat the Longevity True Monarch, why do you, the attendant, carry the great one’s token and frighten this ancient Demon King?"
The Snow King softly said: "This old tortoise, having narrowly escaped years ago, has been hiding ever since, always timid, this time daring to seek the blessings of the Ancient Immortal’s Injunction, thus venturing out! Now that the formation for his return to slumber is incomplete, he fears traces of the great one the most..."
"Not long ago, I heard that the great one ate the Saint Master, which relieved him, thinking the great one was temporarily satiated and could not digest the Saint Master."
"Now you, openly brandishing the great one’s token, swaggering through his territory, wouldn’t you frighten him insane?"
With the sound of this Great Snow Demon King.
The medicine attendant couldn’t help but laugh cheerfully and said: "What if he’s scared?"
The Great Snow Demon King thought for a moment and said: "He plans to collaborate with the Demon Domain to attack the Three Prefectures, targeting the Saint Master! With your presence, he will surely recall the evil spirits from this eight-thousand-mile Forbidden Land and form a formation..."
"The Longevity True Monarch’s Great Array, inherited from ancient times till now, lacks offensive power, but it’s sufficient for protection."
"Even if the great one personally intervenes, to break this formation, it would cost some effort."
At this, the Great Snow Demon King pondered and said: "I don’t understand, you can clearly hide your tracks, why reveal your Qi Mechanism and alert the Longevity True Monarch? If he curls up into a turtle shell, wouldn’t it be harder for the great one to eat him in the future?"
The medicine attendant chuckled and said: "If his Great Array is completed, for the great one, it won’t be easy to break this shell indeed."
"But when he forms the Great Array, surely by then the great one has already completely eradicated the virtues and vices of the contemporary Saint Master, enhancing his own path, and by then, breaking the shell and eating him won’t be difficult."
With the words of the medicine attendant, the Great Snow Demon King fell into silence.
Indeed, after some time, the Medicine Gatherer would surely have the confidence to break the shell.
Yet not disturbing the Longevity True Monarch would mean there wouldn’t be this shell.
Why intentionally provoke the Longevity True Monarch?
As an attendant, instead of reducing the troubles for the Medicine Gatherer, he seems to be adding to them, isn’t he afraid of being punished?
The medicine attendant blinked, smiled mischievously, and said: "If I say it’s the great one’s intention, after all, the old man, as a member of the Human Clan, cannot stand to see all beings suffer, do you believe it?"
The Snow Demon remained silent for a moment before saying: "The thoughts of the great one are beyond anyone’s guess."
"Hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, the medicine attendant laughed heartily and clapped, saying: "Provoking the Longevity True Monarch is naturally to make him recall the evil spirits from the eight-thousand-mile Forbidden Land, to spare the Three Prefectures from catastrophic disaster!"
He pointed to the east, clicking his tongue and saying: "The great one believes that with the Wutong Divine Mother present, the disaster is ultimately not heavy enough to stir a tidal wave, so suppressing this wave, awaiting the next, simultaneous eruption, can truly create monstrous waves!"
"Is that great one aiming to stir a huge catastrophe?" the Snow Demon hesitated.
"Of course! If the disaster isn’t big enough, how can anyone grow?" the attendant nodded.
"He never actively instigates anything, only appearing during medicine sowing or harvesting, even leaving the ’nurturing of medicine’ to you," the Snow Demon pondered and softly asked: "So... who does the great one wish to see grow this time? The next Saint Master?"
"The new Saint Master growing would take too long! Presently, the most qualified to become the next Great Medicine is naturally the Saint Master of this era!"
The medicine attendant softly said: "However, the Saint Master is not strong enough yet, it will take some time!"
"Until he becomes the Human Martial Saint?" the Snow Demon asked.
"The Human Martial Saint?" the attendant shook his head and said: "No, still not enough!"
"Not enough?" The Snow Demon hesitated: "Even with the Great Luck of the Human Clan, it might take a hundred years to cultivate a trace of Dao Rhythm."
"A hundred years is too long; the great one cannot wait." The medicine attendant gently shook his head and said: "Thus, he must be given an opportunity."
"Opportunity?" The Snow Demon was somewhat surprised.
"Only amidst adversity can one truly grow, this is the opportunity!"
The medicine attendant sighed and said: "When he grows enough, the Wutong Divine Mother will likely be satisfied, able to let go of the contemporary Human Clan, focusing on creating the Grotto Heaven."
"By then, when the great one reemerges, eating the Longevity True Monarch, driving out the eight-thousand-mile evil spirits, and ravaging the Three Prefectures!"
"Such pressure is necessary for the Saint Master to break the final boundary!"
Saying this, the attendant’s eyes became somewhat dazed and expectant, softly muttering: "By then, this Saint Master will surely be the best Immortal Elixir I’ve offered to the great one in this life!"
"If this medicine succeeds, it’ll likely be enough for the great one to transcend the final step, becoming the first True God after ancient times!"
He slowly stretched out his slender hand, patting the Great Snow Demon King’s head, sighing: "The great one has long designated you as the final Great Medicine, at the crucial moment, if the great one lacks strength, you will be needed as supplement!"
"However, if the Human Clan’s Saint Master can succeed as this Great Medicine, even without consuming you, it would suffice!"
"To save your life, the strategy I offered to the great one took quite some thought."
The medicine attendant was filled with fondness, his gaze sincerely content.
The Snow Demon was silent for a moment, then heard the medicine attendant’s childish voice, full of joy, uttering even colder words.
"If I can keep you, you will be my first Great Medicine in life..."
The medicine attendant said, smiling cheerfully.
"If the great one wants to harvest, I cannot resist! But with just you, a child..."
The Snow Demon’s voice was cold as he slowly said: "You are merely a vessel he prepared... If he becomes a True God, you will be the disciple inheriting his Dao. If his path of Ascension is broken, you will be his new shell for survival!"
"So, we need the Saint Master to grow quickly..."
The medicine attendant gently stroked the Snow Demon’s head, softly saying: "We have no room for resistance, only by letting the Saint Master mature into a Great Medicine, allowing the great one to ascend in one step, can we have a path to survival! As for the days ahead, whether I eat you, or you eat me, let’s rely on our own abilities..."
He sighed lightly, softly saying: "You must accumulate more; in the next winter, spread the infinite snow and extreme cold over the Three Prefectures, adding a rich layer of soil for the Saint Master, helping me cultivate this Immortal Elixir!"
