Looking ahead.
At the junction of heaven and earth, a mighty mountain range resembling a giant dragon appeared. In the thick fog, it emerged and disappeared, incredibly mysterious!
If those Earth Immortals from the Extreme North were here, they would surely recognize that this was none other than the mountain range of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace!
"I didn’t expect that this time, by a stroke of luck, I actually found the Ice and Snow Divine Palace!"
Ye Qingchen’s smile grew broader.
Ignore chasing Zhan Tiancheng.
At this moment.
Ye Qingchen put all thoughts behind him.
As long as he entered the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, he would be able to find Ye Qing!
Thinking of this.
Ye Qingchen could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, transforming into a stream of light, he flew at full speed toward the location of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace!
...
Zhan Tiancheng has returned!
Just as Ye Qingchen was heading to find the Ice and Snow Divine Palace.
Zhan Tiancheng’s figure reappeared in Nu Bing City. This brought another wave of change to the recently calmed Extreme North.
In a moment.
The Zhan Family, which was on the verge of collapse, steadied itself once again.
However.
During this period, the losses of the Zhan Family were still severe. Nu Bing City was broken, the ancestor disappeared, making the Zhang Family a delicious piece of meat that everyone wanted a piece of.
Fortunately, the Zhan Family still had a number of Earth Immortals, barely stabilizing the situation, otherwise, the Zhan Family might have been completely wiped out in this catastrophe.
Looking at the tearful clan members below, Zhan Tiancheng’s face was gloomy to the extreme, with a burning hatred in his eyes.
When had he, a venerable Earth Immortal, ever experienced such a situation? Suffered such humiliation?
To be chased away by Ye Qingchen, forcing him to flee in panic!
The loss to the entire Zhan Family was enormous!
"Ye Qingchen, I know, Celestial Extinction Mountain won’t hold you!"
"But, as long as I’m alive, what follows is your day of calamity!"
"What I’ve lost, I will reclaim a hundredfold or tenfold!"
Zhan Tiancheng gritted his teeth.
One must know.
Among these venerable Earth Immortals, which of them does not have extensive connections?
Closing his eyes.
Boom!
Instantly, the void trembled.
The next moment, Zhan Tiancheng’s entire consciousness was immersed in his divine sense. Within his vast web of divine sense, there were nine peculiar patterns, emitting strange ripples.
These nine patterns were none other than the reclusive Earth Immortals of the Extreme North.
"Buzz!"
In Zhan Tiancheng’s communion, six patterns became extremely dim. However, the remaining three responded.
"Only three responded to me! It seems the other six do not wish to get involved in this mess!"
"Nevertheless, three people plus myself are more than enough!"
Upon successfully receiving responses from the three elders, Zhan Tiancheng breathed a great sigh of relief.
The other party had already received his message and would arrive at Nu Bing City in the coming days.
Although.
He was reduced to a mere shadow, but teaming up with the other three venerable Earth Immortals, slaying Ye Qingchen would still be a simple task!
For a time.
The entire Extreme North quietly plunged into silence.
Anyone could see.
This was just the calm before the storm.
Once Ye Qingchen returned, this storm would undoubtedly erupt!
However.
No one expected that.
Just as Zhan Tiancheng was contacting the other three venerable Earth Immortals.
Another figure also set foot in the Extreme North!
This person.
Wearing a flowing long robe, face solemn, with an aura even stronger than Zhan Tiancheng. If those from the Taotian Palace were here, they would surely recognize this figure, none other than Marquis Guangjun!
He, with a top-level Earth Immortal cultivation, deceived the heavens, evaded Su Moran’s monitoring, and finally set foot in the Extreme North.
"Ye Qingchen, you wouldn’t have thought, I too have come to the Extreme North!"
"The grievances between us will be settled here in the Extreme North!"
A chilling smile appeared at the corner of Marquis Guangjun’s mouth.
...
Amid the tumult in the Extreme North.
Ye Qingchen had already embarked on the path to the Ice and Snow Divine Palace.
Originally.
He thought this journey would only take a few days to reach the mountain range. But unexpectedly, the mountain remained distant despite the journey.
"I’m trapped in an array!"
Ye Qingchen’s gaze deepened.
"As expected of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, possessing such capability to set a grand array in this area, preventing others from entering. No wonder no one has ever entered the Ice and Snow Divine Palace up to this point!"
"I originally thought the Ice and Snow Divine Palace was like a sect like the Taotian Palace, but now it seems, its scale surpasses the Taotian Palace by countless times! At least the Taotian Palace could never set up such a grand array!"
Ye Qingchen contemplated, his figure flickered, transforming into a cyan light, darting northward.
"Screech!"
He tore through the sky, riding the wind.
Knowing he was within an array, Ye Qingchen had no solutions. Only a Celestial Immortal or an even higher-level existence could set such a grand array!
However.
Since it’s an array, there must be gaps.
Swish!
At this moment, Ye Qingchen unleashed his divine sense, sweeping across. If there was an Earth Immortal here, they could see with their divine sense, a faint cyan light passing overhead, like a vast net, covering every piece of land!
After searching for three or four days.
Ye Qingchen still found nothing.
However, along the way, he found many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
"Cold Moon Grass, saint-grade high-quality, eight hundred years, can be used for alchemy! Can be used for body refinement!"
"Ten Directions Celestial Cold Water, saint-grade low-quality, a must-have Spiritual Treasure for cultivating water-based cultivation techniques, though useless for me..."
"Gui Water Spirit Fruit, celestial-grade low-quality, resembles an Ice Phoenix, can condense divine sense, purify True Qi!"
Perhaps because few ventured into the depths of the Extreme North, Ye Qingchen had reaped substantial rewards along the way.
At his current stage.
Most saint-grade low-quality Heavenly and Earthly Treasures had lost their use, at least needing to be saint-grade high-quality. As for celestial-grade, they were even rarer, and finding even one would be considered fortunate.
"Unfortunately, relying on these alone isn’t enough, Zhan Tiancheng is surely waiting for me in the Extreme North!"
Ye Qingchen clicked his tongue secretly.
How could he not be aware?
Being lost in the depths of the Extreme North for half a month, Zhan Tiancheng would have likely returned to Nu Bing City by now, perhaps already setting up a Heaven and Earth Net, just waiting for his return.
This time, upon his return, he wouldn’t be facing only Zhan Tiancheng, but perhaps several venerable Earth Immortals as well.
"Unless I can fully comprehend the ’Heaven-Breaking Profound Extremity Pointing’, or the ’Ten Thousand Treasures Sword Scripture’, or reach the Earth Immortal Third Layer!" Ye Qingchen rubbed his chin, pondering.
"It’s just a pity, even though the Ice and Snow Divine Palace is within reach, I cannot get there!"
Ye Qingchen was full of regret.
However.
Just then.
The sound of a fight suddenly caught his attention.
"Is someone there?"
Ye Qingchen’s expression was shaken.
Could it be.
The opponent is someone from the Ice and Snow Divine Palace?
