Chapter 1191: The Extreme North Land Abounds with Split Personalities

I didn't expect Immortal Jiu Chong to actually make a move.

Yin and Yang Qi obscured the sky and blocked the sun; the Snow Empress sighed softly. Anyway, Snow Tower Ten will sooner or later become the next Snow Empress, so telling him some things now is no problem.

Actually, Immortal Jiu Chong never left the characterless white jade tablet for two reasons.

Upon hearing this, Meng Jingzhou no longer bothered to care about how the fight in the sky was going; he dragged the small stool by the door over to listen.

The Snow Empress gave Meng Jingzhou a cold glance; Meng Jingzhou followed her gaze and looked behind him—there was no one there.

"There's no one behind me, Snow Empress—you said it yourself, everyone here is one of our own."

Meng Jingzhou stared firmly at the Snow Empress, his face clearly saying, "I'm an honest kid."

"I'm looking at you!" the Snow Empress snapped. As an outsider, what business do you have eavesdropping on matters of our Snow Empress lineage?

Huh? So I'm not allowed to listen?

Seeing the Snow Empress angered, Murong Da Ye, who had been dragging his small stool, and Huo Shen, who had been carrying a door panel, both sullenly withdrew.

"I really am one of our own." Meng Jingzhou took out a book from his identity jade tablet: *Chaos Yi Qi Liang Yi San Cai Si Xiang Wu Xing Liu He Qi Yao Ba Huang Jiu Di Shi Tian Wei Wo Du Zun Xiangong*. This is Immortal Jiu Chong's cultivation method, also called the *Numerical Immortal Art*.

His self-created *Supreme Sovereign Fist* was inspired by the Numerical Immortal Art; speaking of which, Immortal Jiu Chong counts as half his teacher.

"Immortal Jiu Chong's immortal art?"

The Snow Empress was surprised—this really is one of our own.

"Snow Empress, Fellow Daoist Meng is absolutely trustworthy and will not divulge anything," said Snow Tower Ten.

The Snow Empress sighed resignedly and said: "One reason Immortal Jiu Chong does not leave the white jade tablet is that he is hiding from an existence that cannot be spoken of or known. About this existence, Immortal Jiu Chong remains tight-lipped, and I too know nothing of it."

"The second reason is that Immortal Jiu Chong suffered an accident in ancient times, resulting in a second personality."

"This second personality is extremely warlike and prone to losing rationality. Immortal Jiu Chong fears that if the second personality takes control of his body, it will bring calamity upon all living beings, so he dares not leave the white jade tablet."

"Ah, so it's a second personality." Landing back, Lu Yang happened to overhear the Snow Empress's words, resolving the immortal maiden's doubt.

Speaking of which, people one meets in this Extreme North land really do tend to develop split personalities—first Snow Tower Ten, then Su Yuan, and now Immortal Jiu Chong has appeared as well.

The Snow Empress looked at the arriving Lu Yang with a complex expression, not bothering to blame him for eavesdropping. If it were her facing Si Ming, she would have already been caught by him, but Lu Yang, on the contrary, seems to have ease even when facing Si Ming.

"Immortal Jiu Chong has always wanted to resolve his dual personality issue, so in fact, having a dual personality is also one of the conditions for becoming Snow Empress—requiring one to have once had a dual personality, then to be left with only one. He wishes to draw on the experience of our past Snow Empresses."

"... Your Snow Empress lineage really does have quite distinctive traits."

In the entire Mutian City, only the atmosphere of the Hu Xiao Martial Pavilion is the most relaxed. The duel of the two immortals has left the citizens of Mutian City anxious and uneasy; such a battle has completely surpassed their comprehension, being a battle of an incomprehensible level.

The city lords who came to watch know even more, and thus are even more fearful—for immortals mean they have mastered a certain rule, and the existence of immortals is no longer on the same level as mortals; a mere gesture can alter heavenly phenomena.

They want to turn and flee, but thinking that they will never see an immortal battle like this again in their lifetime, they cannot bear to run away.

"Immortal Jiu Chong, one of the Four Ancient Immortals, has truly appeared." Si Ming blocked with his bone staff, fighting on and growing ever more excited.

Originally, Yang Hengkong sent him a message saying Lu Yang had clues about the Four Ancient Immortals on his person; at first he suspected Yang Hengkong was giving false information out of fear he wouldn't come, and Lu Yang's outright denial also made him doubtful.

Now there's no need to doubt—Lu Yang truly has clues about the Four Ancient Immortals!

No, this can't even be called clues anymore—the painstakingly sought-after Four Ancient Immortals have truly appeared!

Now, with sun and moon as one, daytime is sun, nighttime is moon—mankind has never seen a sun-moon unity before. Now Immortal Jiu Chong holds the sun and moon in his hands, steps on the Taiji diagram, and before him, sun and moon, yin and yang, have become extremely harmonious and coordinated.

Seeing this, the late sect master of the Yangyang Sect and the great elder of Liu Zhen couldn't help but tremble, kneeling in midair to kowtow to Immortal Jiu Chong. The Yangyang Sect has always believed the greatest thing in the world is the sun.

Whether they previously sent people to the sun irregularly, or now devote themselves to researching solar energy to promote the sun's greatness, it's all in service of this belief.

But the sun is merely one of the abilities of Immortal Jiu Chong's Yin-Yang Dao Fruit.

If he says what he holds in his hand now is the true sun, then it truly is the true sun!

The sky has been split by Immortal Jiu Chong into two halves—one extreme yang, one extreme yin—ice and fire, two heavens.

The ancient legend of ten suns hanging in the sky, shocking the world—yet ten suns are merely ten golden crows; where do they get the qualifications to be compared to the sun evolved by Immortal Jiu Chong?

"Go!"

Immortal Jiu Chong threw a fireball; light blazed forth. Si Ming, with one hand forming a seal, displayed an immortal art that existed only during the Great Qian era, unrecorded in later ages.

"Heavenly Gang Cover!"

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang transformed into thirty-six layers of Diamond Cover, blocking Si Ming—but facing the sun, these thirty-six Heavenly Gang covers were like rice paper, easily torn apart, and scorching flames surged straight at Si Ming's face.

Si Ming struggled to wave his bone staff, sending the fireball flying. It landed a thousand li away, exploding into a pit unknown how many ten thousands of li deep, bottomless. After an unknown time, a howling wind arrived, and only then did the sound of the explosion hitting the ground follow.

The bone staff directly touched the fireball; the cost was the skull of the bone staff burning and melting—but in the very next moment, the skull restored itself to its original state.

The bone staff is Si Ming's natal magic treasure, forged from his own bones after he became an immortal—it is immortal bone, naturally possessing astonishing self-healing power.

Yet what Si Ming did not expect was that Immortal Jiu Chong hid behind the fireball. When the fireball was struck away by him, what followed was the sinister laughter of Immortal Jiu Chong.

Immortal Jiu Chong's body split into two—one half yang, one half yin—representing the two most extreme forces in the world. He simultaneously threw punches, meaning yin and yang meet, resulting in terrifying spatial collapse.

Si Ming formed a seal to release mist, disrupting Immortal Jiu Chong's vision, seizing the chance to escape, and ordered the bone staff to become armor.

The skull of the bone staff locked onto Si Ming's head, becoming a helmet; the spine extended and locked onto his back, becoming back armor; the rib bones locked onto his chest, becoming chest armor. In an instant, Si Ming completed full armor, gaining the capability to engage Immortal Jiu Chong in close combat.

But he knows this alone is not enough—he needs to either capture or kill Immortal Jiu Chong to free up space for the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit.

Unable to achieve this on his own, he quietly crushed the Emperor's Command Token, summoning the Central Heaven Emperor to fight alongside him.

The Emperor's Command Token shattered, a spatial vortex appeared, and the Central Heaven Emperor stepped forward—then, as if discovering something, hastily retracted, and the spatial vortex vanished without a trace, leaving both Immortal Jiu Chong and Si Ming bewildered.

Outside Mutian City, atop the highest snow mountain peak, a graceful figure leaned against the back of the imperial throne, watching the immortal battle in the city. At the moment the spatial vortex disappeared, she sighed softly.

"Was it because I saw the Central Heaven Emperor appear, my emotions fluctuated, and he sensed my aura?"
