Keyboard Immortal

Even though the wind and snow in the Great Snowy Mountains were terrifying, Salamay and the monsters had experienced storms far more frightening in the Monster World. They spent most of the night in their snow huts. Once the snow and winds became weaker, however, Salamay couldn't stop herself from calling Zu An to hasten their journey.

Zu An could tell that Salamay and the other monsters didn’t have much patience left, so he didn’t say anything else and continued to lead the way. Even though the roughest part of the snowstorm had already passed, there were still frigid winds and goose feather-like snow fluttering everywhere. Zu An thus led the group at the very front. Many roads had already been buried under the endless snow, so he needed to take some time identifying the route.

Jiang Luofu carried Ji Xiaoxi in her arms while pouring ki into her body. Xiaoxi’s cultivation had improved quite a bit when the worlds were merged, and she was outstanding among her peers; but in a dangerous restricted area like the Great Snowy Mountains, she couldn't really withstand it even with her cultivation.

In reality, with her level of cultivation, even Jiang Luofu could only barely protect herself. Sharing her ki with Ji Xiaoxi would only be enough to shield a bit of the cold. As time went on, a layer of frost started to form over the surface of her body. However, she didn’t say anything, and continued to clench her teeth and hold on.

As she watched this happen, Ji Xiaoxi was really heartbroken. She quickly took out a Raging Fire Pill for her little aunt to take. Just then, however, Pei Mianman came over to hold her hand. A warm current filled her entire body, and even spread into Jiang Luofu.

The cold in Jiang Luofu’s body gradually dissipated. She gave Pei Mianman a deep look and said, “Thank you.”

Pei Mianman smiled. “Big sis is being too courteous.”

Jiang Luofu was a bit surprised. After all, Pei Mianman had used to call her principal, but was now suddenly calling her 'big sister'. Could it be that she'd noticed something?

Just then, Suolun Shi also thanked Yun Yuqing. “Thank you, big sister Yun.”

Suolun Shi sighed inwardly.

Big sister Yun really is beautiful. Big brother Zu has so many outstanding women at his side, so how can I try to insert myself and cause trouble…

…

Each person was preoccupied with their own thoughts. Just like that, they unknowingly walked into the snowstorm and traveled over several more snowy mountains before finally arriving in front of a grand and majestic peak.

They had actually already seen many, many towering mountains on their way here, and it was hard to even differentiate which one was the tallest. Every single one had its own grandeur and magnificence. But only when they saw this mountain did they suddenly feel as if everything they had seen until now were just counterfeits in comparison. This was the true king of the snowy mountains. It was as if all of the other peaks were surrounding and showing allegiance to the snowy mountain in front of them.

“I… I can sense an ancient and powerful pressure.” Just then, the expression of the formation master under Salamay suddenly changed. He ran to the left, and then to the right. He even took out some instruments to examine this place.

“What is the situation?” When she looked at the distant, towering snowy mountain, Salamay felt really nervous. She was worried that she would hear that everything they'd done was a wasted effort.

“With the world as the chessboard, and the snowy mountains as the chess pieces, the world’s ki has been gathered here to form this Heaven-Stealing Great Formation!” The formation master’s face was full of admiration and shock. “I wonder just what kind of being completed such an extraordinary masterpiece and made this kind of incredible formation! It’s simply outrageous and unimaginable!”

When she saw how excited her subordinate was, Salamay’s eyelids twitched.

What are you getting all excited for, you idiot? This formation was used to subdue my father! The more incredible it is, the worse he will feel!

“How do we break through this formation?” She quickly interrupted the formation master, who was immersed in studying this profound formation.

“This formation is so grand that destroying it will likely be impossibly hard. I need to observe the entire formation and study it for a few days to come to a different conclusion,” the formation master said with a grave expression.

Salamay rolled her eyes. This subordinate of hers usually always tooted his own horn, and yet he was so unreliable when it really mattered. She turned to Zu An and asked, “Donaire, can you get rid of this formation?”

Zu An was standing a bit further away with his arms behind him. He glanced over and slowly replied, “This formation’s key points are the three auxiliary formations. There are definitely three peaks that are suppressing the formation eye here. As long as those three mountains are destroyed, there should be a chance to undo the seal here.”

The other formation master’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “Wonderful, truly wonderful! The young master was actually able to see through the composition of the entire great formation in such a short amount of time! I cannot hope to compare to your insight!” He bowed with respect as he spoke.

When she heard that, Salamay didn’t have any more doubts, and instead said happily, “The young master really is a great genius!”

After she saw that Zu An had some ability, her tone even became much more respectful.

Pei Mianman and Yun Yuqing exchanged a look. They could all see the shock and confusion in each other’s eyes.

The True Demon great elder secretly asked Zu An, “Young master, are we really going to help them save the Lord of Slaughter? In the past, the Lord of Slaughter was famous for his cruelty. If he comes out and turns his back on us, there won’t be anything we can do!”

“Great elder, don’t worry. I know what I'm doing.” After saying that, Zu An pointed in the direction of the three snowy mountains.

When she saw that, Salamay quickly sent her subordinates into the three directions.

Mojard warned her, “First miss, please be careful of a potential scheme!”

Salamay nodded. When she was distributing her subordinates, she'd made sure to separate the True Demon race’s elders into three different troops. This way, their forces were scattered, and even if something did happen, they would still definitely be within her subordinates’ grasp.

Meanwhile, she and Mojard remained here with two of their subordinates to guard against Donaire. Now, Donaire didn’t have the True Demon elders anymore. With just him and some pretty women, they wouldn’t be able to stir up much trouble. After all, even though their fighting strength had been greatly reduced after coming to this world, they were still all powerful individuals at the earth immortal rank, while she and Mojard were even stronger. These women were pretty strong in this world, but they were still far, far weaker than that.

But the most surprising thing was that during the entire process, Donaire didn’t do anything strange. He continued to research how to break through the formation.

Salamay was even starting to feel a bit of guilt.

Donaire really has sided with me. I was way too suspicious and jealous of him.

Shortly after, a bright pillar of light suddenly fired into the clouds from a distant mountain peak, illuminating the previously dusky skies.

“Donaire, what is going on?” Salamay had already sent out her formation master, so now, she could only consult Zu An.

“This means one of the mountains' seals has already been undone. That subordinate of yours seems to have some skill.” As he looked at the pillar of light, Zu An expressed a bit of surprise too, as if he didn’t expect it to have been completed so quickly.

Salamay had a proud look as she said, “But of course. Ollie is one of our world’s most outstanding formation masters, but you seem to be even better. In the future, the title of number one formation master will belong to none other than you.”

Zu An smiled and didn’t reply.

Shortly after, streaks of bright light shone from the other two mountains. Their formations had clearly already been unraveled as well.

Blue formation patterns gradually appeared under everyone’s feet. Immediately after, waves of low roars resounded from the depth of the Great Snowy Mountains, causing avalanches to fall from the peaks. Snow that had accumulated for countless years began to crash down.

With Salamay’s cultivation, she was naturally not worried about those kinds of avalanches at all. She was extremely moved, exclaiming, “It’s dad, it’s dad’s voice!” She was so excited that tears were vaguely visible in her eyes.

Mojard was also extremely moved. He exclaimed, “It’s the late lord, the late lord!”

After so many years of hard work, their efforts had finally paid off!

Pei Mianman’s eyes were full of shock. Hadn’t Ah Zu said that the Lord of Slaughter had already died? But the reaction of Salamay’s group couldn't be faked. There was no way she couldn't even recognize her own father, right?

Zu An then instructed Salamay and the others on how to break through the formation. Only after Ollie and the three groups returned would they have enough manpower to do so.

Shortly after, several characters flickering in gold appeared halfway up the mountain. Salamay discovered that she actually couldn't recognize the meaning of these characters. She quickly asked Ollie.

Ollie was also perplexed. “They seem to be some symbols that contain unmatched power. These are the symbols that are suppressing the lord, but I don’t recognize the characters.”

“They seem to be divine runes!” The True Demon great elder was really moved. He seemed to have remembered some ancient legends from within the clan.

Salamay remarked with a cold snort, “Who cares if they’re some divine runes or demonic runes? They’ve been used to suppress my father. Today, I am going to destroy them completely!”

“First miss, you absolutely cannot!” Ollie quickly stopped her. “It is rumored that every character of divine runes possesses tremendous power. If you disrespected them and tried to attack them, not only would it trigger a powerful retaliation, not even the Monster Lord would be able to endure it.”

Salamay’s breath caught in her throat. “Then even though we already made it this far, we’re supposed to just watch?”

“It’s fine. Once the formation is broken, the divine runes will naturally disappear.” Zu An’s expression remained calm, and he continued to give instructions regarding what to do.

Salamay couldn't help but turn around to glance at him from time to time.

This kid does indeed have some skill… Taking him in as a husband doesn’t seem to be that bad of an idea.

Under Zu An’s instructions, the great formation was broken down bit by bit. The shining divine runes also began to grow dim.

A cold wind blew past. The golden characters turned into a pile of sparkling dust and were blown away with the wind.

A heart-shaking roar erupted. The entire mountain suddenly split apart, and a giant figure slowly walked out.
