Mystical Journey
chapter-1052

The night was unusually gloomy. Dark clouds covered the moon little by little. Only the slightest gap projected the white beam of the moon.

The Heavy Water Prison of Planet Scarlet Snow was located just below the Central Courtroom. There was only one passage around it, coming from a Three-Hearted Royal Highness' residence in the outskirt.

This road from the outermost Fifteenth Palace to the innermost First Palace was along the residence assigned to the Three-Hearted Disciples and Planet Scarlet headquarters, and at the same time, to defend against foreign invasion to the headquarters as it was the only road which must be passed. There were a total of fifteen villa palaces representing fifteen different levels of a defense.

However, the ranking of Three-Hearted was not necessarily based on strength. Some ranked low but their strength was not bad. It was just because there was no formal challenge to a higher position so they stayed in the same spot.

The entire Scarlet Snow headquarters, with the courtroom on the highest peak of Scarlet Snow at the center of it, was shaped like a giant nail. The tip of the nail was the entrance to the Fifteenth Manor.

The rest of the surrounding area were thousands of miles of white snow and was sparsely populated.

The territories of the elders in different seasons, as well as the Great Wall Library, were located far on the right side of this place. Only through jump-teleportation could one arrive in an instant.

At this time, at the entrance of the Fifteenth Palace, white snow was flying around. The entrance point to the huge white buildings was this up to 162-meters tall, gigantic door of the Fifteenth Place.

The large snowy white ice-door was like a polar iceberg that had not melted for 10,000 years. Its bottom had almost fused with the ground and blended into one. The door had not been opened for centuries.

Everyone either used teleportation or flew in the air. None had walked through from here.

But this hundreds-of-meter giant door at this moment finally ushered in its first visitors in centuries.

Three youngsters were standing in front of the giant door, looking up at the ice-covered door that was hundreds of meters in height. They were not visitors invited by Scarlet Snow Sect, so naturally, they did not have the qualification to enter by flying in the air. That would cause them to be defeated by the huge defensive system. They were also not qualified to use the teleportation device that could instantly jump-teleport them inside.

Therefore, they could only think of ways at the entrance on the ground.

"The old woman is locked inside here?" The blonde young boy standing in front had a solemn face on. He was dressed in simple gray and long clothing. Both his wrists showed signs of being wrapped in white bandages.

He was not tall, but the black epee he carried on his back revealed a simple sense of sharpness to his entire person.

"If you all want to rescue Rainy, the only way is through this giant door." A voice in the void slowly sounded. "Hong Guo, this is the first test point."

"The first?" The blonde young boy frowned. "That is to say, there are still many more at the back? Just say it all out. There's bound to be a way."

"You have the information provided by Fatty, so you should know that Scarlet Snow Sect is one of the Energy Machinists sects. It is also one of the strongest entities in this galaxy." That voice sounded out again. "So, you have to first think of a way to pass through this giant door, only then you are qualified to enter it and face the fifteen defense points on the inside."

"Fifteen of the strongest people in Scarlet Snow Sect?" The young boy, Hong Guo, spat. When the spit landed on the ground, it was immediately frozen into an ice cube with a cracking sound.

"Isn't this too hard..." The look on one gentle young boy among the three was reluctant. "We had only come in contact with Energy Machinery for less than a year..."

"If you're afraid, then turn back." The third person was a girl. Her short, blonde hair was covered with a thick layer of white snowflakes. Her face was indifferent and her expression was plain as if nothing could shake her up. Both her hands had a dagger tied on them and she was dressed in a tight-fitting T-shirt plus a pair of white slim-fit jeans, looking very capable and revealing a good body shape and slender legs.

"Since we have reached here, should we still go back?" said Hong Guo calmly. "I don't know how strong the Three-Hearted on the inside is, but there are always ways to solve difficulties. If you stop because of fear, then you should not have come here in the first place."

The gentle young boy lowered his head and clenched his fist.

"If we're gonna die, then let's die together," the blonde girl said indifferently.

"Courage is worthy of commendation, but let me tell you, the reason why I brought all of you here is that if you can really make your way through this path, then Scarlet Snow Sect will give those who cleared this path an opportunity to have their wish fulfilled." The voice rang out again and it could not be distinguished whether it was a male or female.

"Oh? Any wish is possible?!" Hong Guo's eyes suddenly brightened up.

"Any wish is possible."

"Hehe..."

Hong Guo's sight was fixed on the hundreds-of-meters huge door before him. After a strange laugh, he slowly pulled out the black epee at his back.

Inside Scarlet Snow Sect headquarters

The chilly cold wind continued to bring down snowflakes.

In a small courtyard. The mysterious youth who had joined the sect together with White Night was holding a lean sword and standing quietly in the courtyard of his own Fifteenth Manor.

In each of the four directions, there was a masked white-clothed man guarding his safety so as not to have anyone disturb him.

The snow fell alongside him, but none were accumulated on his head and shoulders. He had just been assigned to the Fifteenth Royal Highness' Fifteenth Manor. Without any moment of tiredness, he immediately went to the Great Wall Library and acquired a secret tactic from the secret manuals to cultivate.

"It is really not easy to mingle to get into this place." No one realized that that mysterious youth with heavy features was silently communicating with an existence on his body.

"As long as you have succeeded in coming in, there will bound to be opportunities to enter Frost Hell. Rest assured, as long as there are no unexpected incidents, Scarlet Snow Sect will definitely focus on nurturing you and that kid from Gideon clan. There will be no slack." A bewitching voice came into his mind, sounding neither male nor female, but there were some echoes in it.

"After all, your talent genes are the blood lineage of the legendary White Dragon. As a Fantasy Dragon species that control frost, the higher-ups of Scarlet Snow Sect cannot afford to not take you seriously. At the crucial time, once you find the right opportunity, quietly make your move... Hehe..."

The youth smiled lightly.

Whish!

The lean sword in his hand suddenly stabbed forward, hitting out a shimmering white ray, straight and long-lasting like a slender beam of light.

Crack...

In the meantime, there seemed to be a slight cracking sound coming from afar.

The sound was very small and very light, but it could not be ignored.

The mysterious youth was slightly startled. He turned to look in the direction of the sound.

"What was that sound?"

His Level Five Willpower burst into full force, turning into a white light and lasing out. It went straight to where the sound came from.

The straight, slender white light suddenly emitted a pure light, illuminating everything that it passed. The white light swept through a row of sparse buildings, illuminating each sect members who were alerted by the sound and walked out of the buildings. These people, who were carefully selected from the outside world, were chosen from the most brilliant human beings on Planet Scarlet Snow to work here. Through centuries, they had gradually become a self-sufficient inheritance. Generations after generations lived in this vast field and there had not been any changes.

The sound in the night at this time was a phenomenon that had never occurred over the centuries.

The white beam of light shot out several kilometers, directly illuminating everything that it passed.

The mysterious youth suddenly showed an expression as if seeing something interesting.

"It actually..."

It was at this moment when his voice had not faltered.

Boom bam!!!

Accompanied by the sound of countless glass cracking, the hundreds-of-meter giant door which had never been opened before actually cracked open a huge gap in this dark night.

Countless crushed ice sprayed out from the gap and dropped down, crushing the houses on the ground and the street.

The people below who were nearby cried out in panic and they madly fled far away, rolling and crawling in their rush.

Shouts, sirens, screams, and the cries from being slammed by the huge ice pieces, were all submerged in the huge roar, fading in and out.

"Interesting...how interesting...!" The youth held the sword up-side-down. The smile on his face was a stark contrast to the protectors around who had lost some of their cool.

***********

Just out of the prison, Garen looked in the direction of the distant roar. That hundreds-of-meter giant door that was said to have not been opened and had been thought abandoned by everyone was actually opened tonight?

Standing at the prison door, Garen gently gripped the hilt of the blue scimitar and closed his eyes. They were once again opened and he quietly walked towards the Twelfth Manor he lived in.

Behind him was the huge, majestic and sharp-edged Scarlet Snow Peak Courtroom.

***********

Inside First Manor

In the desolated snowy center of First Manor, Carthage sat cross-legged in the snow. The surrounding was empty without any buildings. There was only some building debris that was buried under the heavy snow.

In front of him stood the second-ranked person -- that mysterious woman whose body was wrapped in a white robe was Rainy's older sister, Alice.

Alice was a very common and popular name. But when used on this woman, no one ever felt it was common.

As the original first powerhouse of Scarlet Snow Sect and at the same time, also the highest chief of Moonshine, nobody knew how long had Alice been in Scarlet Snow Sect. Perhaps for hundreds of years, perhaps thousands of years. No one knew.

She was the earliest group of disciples of the entire Scarlet Snow Sect. There had also been many geniuses emerging throughout the years. But even as those characters either left or had fallen, she still remained in the chief position of Moonshine. There was no change.

Every time a talented junior brother rose from behind, she was always willing to give up the first place and set herself as the second. No one knew what she was thinking about, nor did anyone know what she looked like.

At this time, Alice only exposed a pair of light blue, slender eyes and was quietly watching Carthage sitting cross-legged in the snow.

"You hear that? The trial door has been opened." Her sweet voice came from underneath the mask.

"What about that?" Carthage said plainly, but his eyes were not even opened.

"What would you do if they could come to your front?" Alice asked calmly.

"What would you like me to do?" Carthage opened his eyes and there seemed to be black vortexes swirling in them. That pair of eyes stared right at Alice.

Strands of invisible force field were spreading out slowly and the atmosphere was faintly solidified.
