The mountain road winds and twists, seemingly with no end in sight.
With each step Xu Xiwang took, the ice lotus beneath his feet emitted a dazzling radiance, making his figure appear as if he were an immortal.
"You're here to climb the mountain?"
A clear and melodious voice came from beside Xu Xiwang.
Xu Xiwang turned his head and saw a girl wearing a blue robe.
She was slender with fair, jade-like skin, exquisite and perfect features, and a graceful figure. Every smile and frown of hers exuded endless charm.
Seeing Xu Xiwang looking at her, the girl smiled sweetly, "Hello, I'm here to climb the mountain too."
The girl looked at Xu Xiwang with a mixture of doubt and curiosity in her eyes.
Xu Xiwang nodded slightly, did not answer the girl's question, and walked straight to the top of the mountain.
"Hey, hey, hey, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Hey, hey, hey, why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you hear me calling you?"
The girl watched Xu Xiwang's retreating figure and muttered discontentedly, "He's really cool."
The girl walked briskly after Xu Xiwang, asking, "What's your name?"
"Xu Xiwang."
Xu Xiwang gave a curt reply and continued climbing.
"Xu Xiwang? Hmm, not a bad name. My name is Avril. Are you from the East?"
The girl said with a grin.
Xu Xiwang paused, but remained silent.
"Wow, it's rare to see such a cold-hearted boy."
Avril blinked her big eyes and smiled adorably.
Xu Xiwang remained silent.
"Are you here to find the Temple of Life?"
Avril asked again.
Xu Xiwang's body suddenly stopped, and he narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Avril.
"I knew it! I knew right away you were here to find the Temple of Life."
Avril muttered to herself.
"You're also here looking for the Temple of Life?"
Xu Xiwang asked indifferently.
"Otherwise, who would come to the iceberg to play for no reason? Hehehe."
Avril waved her hand and continued walking forward.
A thoughtful look flickered across Xu Xiwang's brow.
How much do you know about the Temple of Life?
Xu Xiwang looked at Avril, remained silent for a long time, and finally asked.
Upon hearing this, Avril turned around with a surprised expression. "Huh? You can actually talk to people now? I thought you were a block of wood."
Seeing Xu Xiwang's somewhat dejected appearance, Avril stuck out her tongue. "But I actually know quite a bit about the Temple of Life. If you coax me, I'll tell you."
Xu Xiwang looked at the innocent-smiling girl in front of her, whose eyes were filled with cunning and teasing, and frowned slightly.
"I'm not good at sweet-talking people, but I'll give you a fruit in exchange."
Xu Xiwang took out a spiritual fruit and handed it to Avril.
Avril took the spirit fruits and bit into them one by one. "These are so sweet!"
"That's a spiritual fruit, quite valuable. Now you can tell me."
Xu Xiwang said something indifferently and continued walking forward.
"Then you'll have to give me a few more to eat."
"Give."
Xu Xiwang was too lazy to haggle with the girl, since he still had plenty of spiritual fruits on him.
"Since you're so sincere, I'll tell you something."
Avril, munching on a fruit, walked and talked, "Mount Life has existed for over ten thousand years. It's said to have been left over from ancient times. At that time, the whole world was shrouded in darkness, the gods were in chaos, and all living beings suffered. The Goddess of Life, Tina, sacrificed her own flesh and blood to heal billions of lives with the Spring of Life, and finally fell into a deep sleep within Mount Life."
"Legend has it that there is a mysterious temple on Mount Life, which is Tina's temple. If you find it, you can use the most precious things to ask Goddess Tina for a blessing. It can give ordinary people a strong body, make them braver, and grant them incomparably sacred power. It is even possible to bring the dead back to life."
"What else do you know?"
Xu Xiwang then took out two more spirit fruits.
Avril reached out and took the spirit fruit. "You're really generous. It's said that Tina's temple is located on the top of the sacred mountain, and you have to pray with utmost sincerity to see it."
Xu Xiwang gazed firmly at the sacred mountain, his eyes slightly closed, sensing the divine aura emanating from it.
We gradually reached the summit.
The summit of the sacred mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, with layers of fog enveloping the mountain.
The cold wind howled and the snow danced, but it couldn't dispel even a trace of the mist from the sacred mountain.
Avril gazed at the summit of the sacred mountain, her eyes filled with reverence. "The sacred mountain stands majestically, having stood for tens of thousands of years, yet it remains unyielding, standing on this land because of Tina's presence. She is a goddess."
Xu Xiwang listened quietly, his gaze fixed on the sky above the sacred mountain.
It's as if trying to see through the clouds and mist, trying to penetrate the ethereal and elusive fog.
Xu Xiwang slowly opened his eyes, his pupils filled with chaos.
Avril was startled. "Your eyes?"
Xu Xiwang concealed his aura, his ordinary face devoid of any expression.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, you're quite interesting."
Avril smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth.
"Let's go."
Xu Xiwang responded indifferently.
