Immortal Travel of Longevity

Amid the driving snow.

Enduring the torment of hunger and bitter cold, Jiu Fengchun buried himself entirely in the snow, bare-chested, desperately trying to use this method to calm himself down.

Plumes of frost escaped his lips as he lay trembling, but after lying there for so long, he realized he did not feel cold anymore.

"Argh!!"

A roar tore from Jiu Fengchun's throat. With bloodshot eyes, he went completely mad in the heavy snow.

"Food!"

"Food!!"

Jiu Fengchun clutched his head in agony and began slamming it into the snowy ground. Finding a protruding rock, he smashed his head against it without hesitation until he was battered and bleeding.

Slowly, his sense of self slipped away.

"Arghhhhh..."

He shrieked in madness, scouring the endless expanse of snow for living creatures.

High upon a distant snow-capped peak, Zhao Yuqing watched this scene calmly.

A long while passed.

Jiu Fengchun seemed to notice something.

He started digging down into the earth.

Zhao Yuqing furrowed his brows slightly. Moments later, he watched Jiu Fengchun unearth a skeletal corpse from the dirt.

His sanity already gone, Jiu Fengchun saw the corpse and immediately began gnawing on it.

"Crunch, crunch..."

This jarring sound echoed out.

Zhao Yuqing's expression turned icy. As he watched Jiu Fengchun bow his head to gnaw on the corpse, he felt utterly disappointed.

He laid down a Restrictive Seal across the snowy expanse.

Then, he turned and left in anger.

He left Jiu Fengchun here all alone.

Since he loved to eat so much, he could just starve to death.

...

The Demon Sovereign completed a sweep of the Mortal World, yet his search yielded absolutely nothing.

It did not matter. If one sweep was not enough, he would simply search a second time.

He had plenty of time.

That was until today, when he arrived in a Snow Plain.

The heavy snow here never ceased. For countless years, it had been a Barren Wasteland.

"A Restrictive Seal?"

The Demon Sovereign sensed the Restrictive Seal placed there.

After a moment of thought, he decided to step inside.

Yet, shortly after he entered, he saw a figure suddenly lunge at him.

"Argh!!"

The person before him looked like a savage, with wild hair draping down and entirely obscuring his eyes.

"Hm?"

The Demon Sovereign raised a hand. With a flash of his Divine Abilities, he blocked the person.

With another use of his Divine Abilities, he bound the person to the ground.

The Demon Sovereign stepped forward. As the wild hair parted, a pair of bloodshot eyes was revealed to his gaze.

He kept opening his mouth, attempting to bite off a chunk of flesh from the Demon Sovereign.

The Demon Sovereign could not help but feel somewhat curious about the person before him.

"What crime did this person commit to be trapped within a Restrictive Seal in this Snow Plain?"

Taking the opportunity, he reached out and probed the person's body.

The Demon Sovereign immediately froze in surprise.

His eyes narrowed as he turned back to examine the Restrictive Seal.

Sure enough, it gave him a sense of familiarity.

When the Demon Sovereign looked back at Jiu Fengchun, his gaze could not help but shift.

"Taotie..."

Chen Changsheng had spoken to him about Taotie before.

Looking closely at the Restrictive Seal, the Demon Sovereign knew exactly whose handiwork it was.

Zhao Yuqing...

"Then this person..."

The Demon Sovereign thought back for a moment. "Jiu Fengchun?"

After a moment of thought, the Demon Sovereign slowly stepped closer. He raised a hand and slit open the tip of his finger.

He then placed it right before Jiu Fengchun's eyes.

Jiu Fengchun opened his mouth wide, watching the blood fall and drip into his mouth.

Jiu Fengchun shivered. That drop of blood brought a sliver of clarity back to him.

"Blood, blood..."

"Eat, I want to eat!!"

Words spilled from Jiu Fengchun's mouth. Seeing this, the Demon Sovereign fed him three more drops.

Gradually, a bit more clarity returned to Jiu Fengchun's eyes.

He panted, and his trembling body finally stilled.

Jiu Fengchun's gaze fell on the man in front of him, and he instantly cried out, "Mister Chen!!"

A look of grievance welled up in his eyes, and tears streamed down his face.

The Demon Sovereign paused upon hearing this, then asked, "Who trapped you here?"

"Master, it's Master..."

Jiu Fengchun said, "Master threw me here. Mister Chen, I almost starved to death. Why would Master do this? Why..."

"Tell me about it," the Demon Sovereign said, taking a seat.

Jiu Fengchun then recounted the entire sequence of events to him.

The Demon Sovereign narrowed his eyes as he listened.

Jiu Fengchun's words hid many details. He completely glossed over how many living creatures he had devoured and how exactly he had eaten them, as if he were deliberately avoiding the subject.

The Demon Sovereign knew what kind of person Zhao Yuqing was. Unless his bottom line had been crossed, he would never have done something so heartless.

In other words, the person in front of him had truly been influenced by the taotie bloodline.

"Mister Chen, save me, save me, alright? I don't want to be here anymore. There's nothing here, absolutely nothing..."

"Then what were you eating just before...?"

"Bones, they were..."

"What?"

"Human bones..."

The Demon Sovereign paused upon hearing this, genuinely taken aback.

He even ate human bones?

He could not help but grow more curious.

Did this taotie bloodline truly refuse nothing at all?

But after a moment's consideration, the Demon Sovereign decided it was better not to let this person live.

He shared the exact same thought as Chen Changsheng.

"Child, this is not your fault."

The Demon Sovereign said, "However, if living brings you so much agony, then Mister will send you on your way."

Jiu Fengchun froze at those words.

He instantly backed away and said, "Mister, you... you want to kill me?!"

The Demon Sovereign raised his hand, grasping a Sword.

He said, "Rather than living in such agony, it is better to end things quickly."

"No!!"

"No!!!"

Jiu Fengchun shook his head. Turning around, he fled, vanishing into the driving snow in a matter of moments.

The Demon Sovereign pursued him, Sword in hand, assuming he could not possibly run far.

To his surprise, even after searching for a long time, he failed to catch sight of Jiu Fengchun again.

Seeing this, the Demon Sovereign shook his head. After a moment of thought, he did not search for him any further.

"If you refuse to die, then live on in agony."

The Demon Sovereign left these words and departed from the area.

At that moment, Jiu Fengchun was buried underground. He did not dare to breathe. The thick dirt concealed him, and the bone-chilling frozen earth wracked his body with violent shivers.

An unknown amount of time passed before he finally clawed through the dirt and heavy snow. The next moment, he collapsed onto the ground.

"Huff, huff..."

He gasped for air. In that moment, he felt a deep resentment toward this world.

The seed of hatred took root and sprouted in his heart.

His eyes also grew even clearer.

...

Eventually, Zhao Yuqing returned to collect Jiu Fengchun's corpse.

He found no trace of Jiu Fengchun in the Snow Plain. Only after a long while did he discover a gap opened in the Restrictive Seal.

Only then did Zhao Yuqing realize what had happened.

Jiu Fengchun had already escaped.

Zhao Yuqing let out a soft sigh, shook his head, and left the area.
