When Bai Yaoyi left his sight, Han Li looked back down and observed the three Profound Ice Flowers.

After some contemplation, he slapped his storage pouch and summoned a dozen various colored streaks, attaching themselves into the surrounding crystal walls. A blue mist then completely enveloped the vicinity.

With that done, buzzing shook the air as a swarm of golden beetles flew out from Han Lis body, disappearing into the mist as specks of light.

So long as nothing particularly powerful approached, the mist should be able to protect him as he refined the Profound Ice Pill.

Feeling at ease, Han Li raised his hand and summoned a fist-sized cauldron that sparkled with silver light. As it floated in front of him, he summoned a variety of wooden boxes and small bottles from his storage pouch onto the ground.

He then changed his focus to the three flowers.

He waved his sleeve, producing three golden streaks that wound around the flowers, carving out the myriad year profound ice they were attached to.

He then pointed to the ground and three foot-long jade boxes warped out from sight and oddly reappeared below the three flowers.

Seeing that the flowers were gathered without a problem, he formed a hand gesture with a satisfied expression on his face. He then launched a series of spell seals into the blue mist surrounding him. The mist roiled around him and massively expanded, soon submerging the entire ravine from sight.

Apart from the icy winds whistling in the ravine, there was only silence.

…

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The blue mist was exceptionally dense at the bottom of the ravine and showed no signs of dissolving.

Then, light flashed from the distant sky and three streaks arrived at great speed, appearing before the ravine in only a moment.

The streak of silver light at the front of the three appeared dim as if its owner had been injured.

The red and green lights following it appeared dazzling and overbearing.

It was clear the silver light was being pursued.

The silver light faded to reveal a gorgeous white-robed woman. Her complexion was pale and a layer of faint green Qi covered her. She was Bai Yaoyi who had last been seen three days ago.

She had somehow encountered mishaps and had been pursued until now. Her bodies were also under the effects of a vicious poison that even a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator couldnt resist.

When she arrived above the ravine, she quickly looked down and saw a roiling blue mist. She let out a sigh, relieved by the sight.

At that moment, the red and green lights pursuing her were only a few hundred meters away. A mans voice spoke from the green light, What? Youve decided to stop running, knowing how badly youre poisoned? If youve decided to forfeit your life, then this lord wont hesitate to take it! The tone of the voice was sinister and harsh.

Bai Yaoyi coldly snorted and dived into the ravine, paying no attention to them. With several silver flashes, she vanished.

The two streaks of light rushed to the opening of the ravine, and the figure of a man and a woman can be glimpsed from within them.

The two looked down at the blue mist with some hesitation.

The two were metamorphosed demon beasts with fully awakened intelligence no lesser than that of a human.

They were bewildered as to why Bai Yaoyi stopped running and decided to hide in the restrictions below.

Just as the two through to use their spiritual sense to explore below them, white mist rolled around them, following the appearance of a dozen snow-white winged insects, all possessing a sinister appearance.

Six-winged Frost Centipedes! The woman within the red light trembled as she shouted with joy.

Those are Six-winged Frost Centipedes? The man in the green light shouted.

Thats great! So long as we can devour these insects, well be able to massively boost our cultivation through Yin Yang Convergence! The woman bellowed with hoarse laughter and her body burst in flames, releasing a dozen fire serpents.

They were each a foot-long and each of them had wings on their backs. With flames trailing from their mouths, they aggressively pounced towards the centipedes.

For a time, flames and icy Qi clashed, producing deafening explosions.

At that moment, the red light disappeared to reveal the womans full appearance.

She had a slender figure wearing crimson clothes, a pair of green eyes, and scarlet scales that freckled her pretty face. A snakes tongue would also occasionally flick out from her mouth. She was a grade eight demon serpent.

With blatant greed on her face, red light flared from the demon as she personally set herself on capturing each of the centipedes. Then, a series of drones suddenly sounded from underneath her. Specks of golden light suddenly shot out from the blue mist in the ravine, condensing into a ten-meter-wide golden cloud that charged at the two demons.

When the man saw the golden cloud, he swept his sleeve without another thought and released a flood dragon of green Qi to meet the attack.

The man coldly smiled upon seeing the dragon swallow the golden cloud. Surely whatever was inside the golden cloud would be thoroughly decayed by the venom. But while the thought flickered in his mind, the golden cloud released a drone as it flew out from the green Qi.

The man was greatly alarmed.

He quickly began to spin and had green light envelop his body, transforming himself into a ten-meter-tall wall of flame that rushed to sweep the golden cloud.

Suddenly, a dense emerald flame passed the cloud and silence their buzzing. Soon after, crackles popped and countless golden specs began to fall from the flames.

The remnants of the golden cloud instantly scattered, revealing individual golden beetles. They violently swayed within the green flames and were barely able to struggle.

When the man saw this, he felt relieved, but something soon came to mind as he looked at the remaining beetles. He suddenly cried out in terror, Those are Gold Devouring Beetles! How can there be so many?

In his shock, the green light covering him faded to reveal his odd appearance. He had two beady yellow eyes and a headful of disheveled green hair. His mouth stretched to the edges of both cheeks.

He shouted in surprise as the falling Gold Devouring Beetles seemed to regain life. They flew back up, buzzing, and the green flame dragon wrapping around the other beetles was rapidly shrinking.

The mans complexion became increasingly unsightly.

But at that moment, red light flashed from above the Gold Devouring Beetles. The serpent woman suddenly appeared with an open mouth, spitting an azure mist down below, soon taking the form of an azure alms bowl.

The bowl surged several times in size and released many azure threads, turning into a huge light barrier that wrapped around the many Gold Devouring Beetles down below. The Gold Devouring Beetles attempted to attack the light barrier with all their might, but it had no effect. They were completely trapped.

At this moment, the serpent woman turned to the man and coldly said, What are you scared of? Do you believe those beetles to be fully mature? So long as they arent complete, they are capable of being killed.

As if to verify her words, the woman flicked her finger down, producing a frigid, tearing noise. A fingernail-sized streak flickered down towards the azure light barrier and swept past one of the beetles.

As a result, the Gold Devouring Beetle was silently cleaved into two. The red streak then halted to reveal itself to be an inch-long red serpent scale with incredibly sharp edges.

After this, relief was visible on his face and the woman wore a sinister smile. She then grasped her hand in an incantation gesture and successive cracks sounded out as over a hundred identical serpent scales show out from her body.

The serpent woman decided to leave the Six-winged Frost Centipedes to her fire serpents for the time being and decided to exterminate the captured Gold Devouring Beetles.

But at that moment, an icy snort sounded out from the blue mist below, followed by booming thunder. Then, silver light flashed sixty meters away from the serpent woman.

Vigilant, the serpent woman formed an incantation gesture and immediately made use of a demon art, commanding her flame serpents to charge direction and tear towards the silhouette that appeared before her.

The silhouette chuckled and flipped his hand, producing a small sparkling silver shield in front of him. Then, a mirror-like wall suddenly came into existence.

The dense barrage of red streaks struck the silver wall and erupted in blinding silver light. The red streaks were repelled in different directions, none of them leaving any mark behind in the wall.

When the serpent woman saw this, her heart jumped. A fierce expression appeared on the face of the man next to her. He swept his sleeve, releasing a stream of roiling toxic mist. If one were observing the mist carefully, they would discover unremarkable green threads flickering within them.

These were poisonous needles that he bitterly cultivated over several thousand years from condensing his most lethal venom. Even late-Nascent Soul cultivators would quickly dissolve to poisonous refuse if they didnt dissolve the venom in time.

Han Li simply waved his sleeve to face the attack and released a small red cauldron.

In a flash, it disappeared outside the silver wall and let out a clear ring. As it surged in size the lid of the cauldron opened of its own accord and released countless crimson fireballs.

Each of the fireballs were only fist-sized, but they soon joined together to form hundreds of crimson crows. With shrill cries, they charged to meet the oncoming poison mist.

Upon contact with the birds, the mist along with its poison needles were extinguished, wiped away into grey smoke. The mist stood no match.

The scarlet cauldron was the sentient cauldron Han Li acquired from Kunwu Mountain.

It controlled over a thousand Great Yang Birds, an ideal weapon against wicked and evil arts. Its might was made obvious as soon as it appeared.

A glint flashed from Han Lis eyes and he felt satisfied by what he saw. He shook his sleeve and a tri-colored fan slipped into his grasp.

This is the lair of the Ice Rage Beasts? Han Li glanced down at an unfathomably deep ravine in the ice and frowned. Biting glacial winds blew out from it without end.

Bai Yaoyi floated at Han Lis side and looked around them. Then she confidently said, Thats right, this is the place!

In that case, lets have them come out! Han Li nodded and formed a spell seal. His entire body flickered with light and specks of starlight emerged in front of him. Then with a crackle, they burst into scarlet fist-sized fireballs.

Go!

With a sweep of his sleeve, a wall of flame enveloped the fireballs and launched them into the ravine, soon disappearing from sight.

Han Li and Bai Yaoyi proceeded to stare down with complete focus.

A long while later, silence still filled the ravine. The sounds resulting from the fireballs eruption never occurred.

Han Li and Bai Yaoyi looked at each other with an odd expression.

Han Li stroked his chin and said, They are only grade-six demon beasts. They shouldnt be able to silently destroy the fireballs. It seems there is a more formidable beast down there.

Bai Yaoyi wore a solemn expression, It is possible! The disciple hadnt tread deep into the ravine. They only saw the Profound Ice Flower from a distance before being discovered by the Ice Rage Beasts.

Hehe, thats fine. Ill just use my spirit beasts to draw them out, Han Li said with an indifferent tone. He slapped his storage pouch and summoned a dozen white streaks that circled once around him. They were foot-long Six-winged Frost Centipedes, each possessing translucent wings and a fiendish appearance.

Han Li let out a low cry and pointed at the Six-winged Frost Centipedes in the air. The centipedes buzzed with joy and wrapped themselves in glacial light as they dived down.

Bai Yaoyi betrayed surprise, but she said nothing.

Han Li had no concern for the Six-winged Frost Centipedes. Even a grade-eight demon beast wouldnt be able to escape them if they launched a joint attack. freewenovl.co

And not long after, the sounds of battle echoed from the ravine, drawing closer, turning louder before the battle was dragged outside.

Han Li pursed his lips and silently waved his sleeve, releasing a dozen golden streaks from his sleeve. They turned into a dozen foot-long golden swords, floating still above the ice reveal as they sparkled with light.

Bai Yaoyi smiled, believing Han Li would be able to deal with the demon beasts with ease.

A short moment later, a series of monstrous roars sounded from below. Afterwards, a series of white mist blew out from them, containing eight snow-white lion-like beasts. They appeared extremely frightened as if they were fleeing for their lives.

They were the so-called Snow Rage Beasts.

He launched a sword seal without any hesitation, causing several of his swords to tremble and launch themselves forward, turning into dazzling three-meter-long streaks.

Like a flash of lightning, they slashed across the white mist and arrived before the beasts.

Before they could even respond, the swordstreaks coiled around them.

With several miserable screams, the beasts were cleaved into two and their corpses sank back into the pit.

Soonafter , a world-shaking roar rumbled from the ground, followed by a huge explosion. A dense wind shot out from the ravines depths.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and saw an enraged ten-meter-tall demon beast.

It appeared mostly the same as the Ice Rage Beasts, but its fur glistened with silver light and its body was an entire size larger.

Yi! That isnt a Snow Rage Beast. Thats an Ice Fiend! Bai Yaoyi yelped in shock. What is such a high-grade demon beast doing here?

Han Li blinked and took no further action. A dozen white streaks then flew out from the ravine and spat icy Qi at the silver-furred beast.

Although the demon beast was only a grade-seven demon beast, it had no fear of the Six-winged Frost Centipedess attack. Rather, the attack only served to incite it further.

Han Li raised his brow and coldly snorted. He extended his finger and azure light flickered from its tip, commanding the flying swords above him to strike at the beast.

At the side, Bai Yaoyi suddenly said, Please wait a moment! The Ice Fiend is a rare ice and wind attributed demon beast. It will be useful if I can capture it.

Han Li gave her an easy smile. In that case, Ill handle it and save you the trouble!

With that said, he spat out a ball of purple flames. Then, the flames let out a chirp, shaped into a lifelike foot-wide bird before fluttering towards the Ice Fiend.

When the dozen Six-winged Frost Centipedes saw the bird approach, they immediately scattered in fear, leaving the Ice Fiend alone in the vicinity.

Although the Ice Fiend still hadnt gained higher awareness, it still possessed a trace of intelligence. Under these circumstances, it could tell the purple flame bird was fearsome and immediately swept up wind, intending to escape.

Han Li let out a cold snort and a light glinted from his eye.

The beast immediately needles assailing its mind and it let out a howl as it fell from the air.

Han Li launched at attack with his spiritual sense, using the Soulfright Thorn.

Although Han Li hadnt used the full strength of this attack, his spiritual sense was still equivalent in strength to a late-Nascent Soul cultivator. It wasnt an attack that it could withstand.

With the opportunity given, the purple flame bird arrived in front of the beast and circled it.

As a large crackle sounded, a large ball of purple mist surrounded the Ice Fiend and enveloped the

The purple flame bird immediately unfolded its wings and disappeared into Han Lis body.

After the purple mist of light disappeared, a thirty-meter-tall black of purple ice was revealed, sealing the Ice Fiend within it. The storm surrounding the beast had slowly disappeared as well and the block of ice shortly crashed to the ground.

To the side, Bai Yaoyi came to her senses after being stunned by the entire affair. She summoned a large hand of white Qi to lift the ice to her.

Many thanks, Brother Han! Ill take you up on your offer! Bai Yaoyi sweetly smiled at Han Li and she flicked her ringer, producing a sparkling black spirit beast pouch.

She tossed the bag into the air and a mist flew out from it, wrapping around the huge block of ice and drawing into the pouch.

Seeing Bai Yaoyis satisfied expression, Han Li smiled and pointed to the Six-winged Frost Centipedes circling in the air. With a series of hisses, the centipedes let out balls of icy mist and instantly disappeared.

Bai Yaoyi was startled by the sight of this, but Han Li soon explained, While I use the Profound Ice Flower to refine medicine, I dont want any low-grade demon beasts to disturb us. The centipedes will be protecting us nearby.

Bai Yaoyi sweetly smiled and nodded.

The two soon flew down the huge ravine in streaks of light.

The ravine was pitch-black. Apart from icy winds continuously circling the two, it was reminiscent of the two entering the Yin Yang Cave over ten years ago.

But when they quickly arrived at the bottom, the crystalline walls of the ravine could be seen. They were formed from profound ice, suitable materials for ice-attributed magic tools. However, only myriad year profound ice could be considered a rare, top-grade tool refinement material.

Ordinary profound ice was beneath the notice of the two Nascent Soul cultivators.

But when the two arrived at the very end of the ravine, they spotted a crystal vein that emitted a white light. Although it was jagged, there was a point on it that was clearly myriad year Profound Ice.

Han Lis eyes then focused on the three white flowers on the wall.

These small flowers were only the size of a fist and appeared to be common wildflowers. But their roots were dug into the myriad year profound ice and faint icy Qi continuously roamed around it.

Three Profound Ice Flowers. This should be enough, Han Li muttered.

There is quite a bit of myriad year profound ice here. It appears that disciple made quite an accomplishment. Ill have to make sure he is rewarded. Bai Yaoyi examined the profound ice and wore a smile.

Han Li then turned to Bai Yaoyi and said, I will be plucking the flowers immediately for pill concoction. Ive already prepared the other materials. Will Fairy Bai be returning first?

With some thought, she said with a warm tone, How long will Brother Han need to refine the pills. Would it be better for me to take a look at our surroundings? We arent far from North Night Valley. With the appearance of the grade-seven Ice Fiend, I feel somewhat ill at ease. Ill be taking this opportunity to look around.

After a short pause, Han Li gave a word of warning, That would be good. Be careful!

Dont worry, Im only doing this in case of contingencies. The grade seven Ice Fiend most likely came into the ravine unintentionally. This hadnt happened before. Ill be taking off! Bai Yaoyi pursed her lips into a bewitching smile and streaked into the air.

Han Li now stood in a huge hidden room with endless rows of three-meter-tall steps carved from fine jade. He appeared baffled.

The stairs were at least three hundred meters wide and each of the steps sparkled with various colored barriers, each containing a variety of their own jade slips.

At the other end of the room, there was a flight of stairs heading upwards. The floors seemed to be separated by thick dense stone.

Shocked, Han Li took a shallow breath and turned to an old man dressed in the sects attire. This is the palaces Hidden Scripture Pavilion?

Thats right, Senior. There are seven separate floors of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. Every floor has different types of records deposited with rarer records on higher floors. There are separators on each floor, preventing disciples from grabbing the wrong jade slips. When Senior wishes to head down, please give me the order. I will be waiting outside on your command. The old man spoke with a lowered head, but his body displayed the spiritual pressure of a mid-Core Formation cultivator.

Han Li nodded, I understand. You may head out!

Yes! The old man respectfully withdrew and closed the stone gate behind him.

With Han Li alone in the room, he bluntly walked in front of one of the light barriers and waved his hand through it.

With a light bang, the light barrier shattered, revealing three jade slips underneath.

He took them into his hand and immersed his spiritual sense into them.

At the same moment Han Li was perusing the records, two white-robed women were speaking on the second floor of the Pure Focus Pavilion.

One of them was Bai Yaoyi and the other was the woman that was earlier speaking with Master Arctic Dragon.

The two bore a strong resemblance, but one of them had a gentle beauty while the other appeared ice cold.

Bai Yaoyi stood next to the window with one hand resting on the windowsill and the other fiddling with her hair. She frowned, appearing somewhat annoyed. Second Sister, Ive already told you, I dont know much about this Fellow Daoist Han. Although he claims to be an overseas cultivator, the Yin Sifting Sect and the Endless Sky Temple both claimed he was from the Heavenly South. His abilities are on par with a late Nascent Soul cultivator and managed to even match the Silver-winged Nightfiend in the Yin Yang Cave. Im also not sure as to how he managed to escape Kunwu Mountain as well.

Seventh Sister, please dont take offense! It is rather hard to believe how a mid-stage cultivator from an area as remote as the Heavenly South could possess such abilities. The other white-robed woman had a smooth voice, but it was cold and lacking emotion.

Bai Yaoyi didnt seem to mind the other womans tone as she knew it was caused by reaching the height of her cultivation technique. But she was losing her patience with repeated questioning about Han Li.

Bai Yaoyi took several steps away from the window and said, Ive only known him for a short time, having met him the last time I left the sect. I am unable to offer more details. Everything Ive told you is true. Whats going on? Why has the grand elder suddenly grown so interested in Fellow Daoist Han?

This is the person Senior Martial Brother Arctic Dragon has been searching for, a person who harbors a flame of extreme cold. Speaking of which, why havent you mentioned this person to us?

The last time I met him was ten years ago at Kunwu Mountain. I couldnt have known if he would return from the mountain alive. What point would there be in mentioning him?

In that case, I wont ask anything else, the white-robed woman bluntly said, Since Fellow Daoist Han possess such vast abilities, itll be best to rope him in and make certain of the flames true power.

Bai Yaoyi frowned and reluctantly said, I understand. If there is an opportunity, I will look into it.

Very good. Then I will take my leave! With that said, the white-robed woman expressionlessly descended to the first floor.

Bai Yaoyi didnt reply. She merely looked out the window and watched her senior martial sister fly through the air with an expressionless gaze.

…

Time quickly passed by and Han Li found himself on his eighth day in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. He had already looked through several interesting records and had received much useful knowledge. However, he only managed to look at the third floor.

When Han Li thought of this, he felt that it was a pity. He reckoned he wouldnt have enough time to look at the records on the fourth floor.

At that moment, he was looking through a record detailing rare spirit medicines found during ancient times. Suddenly, a fiery streak entered the hall.

In his alarm, he reached out to the streak and took it into his hand. It was a burning voice transmission talisman. Once he read it with his spiritual sense, a trace of happiness appeared on his face.

He put away the jade slip in his hand on one of the tables and immediately flew out. After the time it took to finish a cup of tea, an azure streak arrived in front of the Pure Focus Pavilion.

A graceful woman in white robes was waiting there for him.

When the light faded, Han Li faced Bai Yaoyi and quickly asked, Fellow Daoist Bai, is it true youve found the Profound Ice Flower?

Bai Yaoyi looked at Han Li and sweetly smiled, Of course. Originally, I believed it would take a month to find one, but I didnt expect that you would stir up the Grand Elder to take action. With so many people looking for the Profound Ice Flower, it is only natural that it was found quickly.

Restraining the joy in his heart, Han Li said, Thats great! Lets go find it!

Bai Yaoyi pursed her lips and smiled, Of course. Ive been waiting here to guide you. However, the discovered location of the flower is rather far away. It is already outside the range of North Night Island. The trip will take several days.

Han Li bellowed with laughter and forthrightly said, Thats nothing. So long as I can pluck the Profound Ice Flower, I wouldnt make journeying for even a year. Lets go!

When Bai Yaoyi heard Han Li, she beamed a smile at him and remained silent.

The two didnt delay in the slightest and soon left the Hidden Arctic Dragon Border and left the city to head north.

On the way, Bai Yaoyi explained the precise location of the Profound Ice Flower.

The den of a group of Snow Rage Beasts?

Bai Yaoyi nodded and said, Thats right. When the disciple that discovered the Myriad Year Profound Ice, he was inattentive and was discovered by the Snow Rage Beasts. He was pursued over fifty kilometers and was heavily injured. He nearly died.

Oh? Then what grade are these Snow Rage Beasts? Han Li asked with interest.

Bai Yaoyi smiled, I fear that I must disappoint you. They are only grade-six beasts. I fear they arent enough to warrant your attention.

Then there really is no point in capturing them alive. Han Li chuckled.

However, once we leave North Night Island, we will be entering the Ice Sea, the domain of demon beasts. There are countless demon beasts here, and the farther we go from the island, the higher the grade of demon beasts we will encounter. Of course, several days of travel is nowhere near enough to encounter a grade eight demon beast. However, many fearsome demons lingered in the depths of the Ice Sea, including grade ten demons. Even the Grand Elder of the previous generation once spotted a grade ten Ice Phoenix possessing true ancient blood. This single beast possessed enough power to overtake most of the palace! Bai Yaoyi said with a grave tone.

A grade ten Ice Phoenix? Han Li felt his heart jump.

There is no need to worry. The establishing ancestor of the palace had an agreement with the most powerful demon beasts of the Ice Sea after fiercely battling with them. So long as we dont wantonly attack the high-grade demon beasts of the ice sea, the high-grade demon beasts will not appear within a half million kilometers of North Night Island. Low-grade demon beasts arent subjected to these restrictions. As for the demons that have attacked our palace in the past, they all gathered from other regions of the Great Jin. If the Ice Sea Demons were to involve themselves, our palace wouldve been destroyed several times over. Our North Night Palace was able to flourish until now because of this.

Following a moment of alarm, a smile appeared on Han Lis face. So it was like that? Does that mean there shouldnt be any danger on our trip?

Bai Yaoyi shook her head, Not necessarily! An agreement is only an agreement. Occasionally, there will be high-grade demon beasts that are thrown into a range and will come charging towards the sect. As a result, there will be palace disciples that fall to demon beasts every year. Itll be best to be careful.

Han Li looked at the pure glaciers below him and indifferently said, But this journey will only last several days. How could our luck fail us in such a short time.

Soon after, his body flared with azure light and his speed increased.

In truth, Bai Yaoyi was only making conversation. But when she saw him, her eyes began to wander and her body flared with light as well, following Han Li closely.

On the way, they hadnt discovered any trace of high-grade demon beasts. Additionally, they hadnt spotted many low-grade demon beasts either.

After three entire days of continuous flight, they arrived at a huge glacial ravine.

Han Li breathed and promptly asked, Five different flames of extreme cold? That is a rather demanding requirement. It is possible only something that your sect can achieve as no other sects would be able to gather so many cultivators that use glacial flames. Nevertheless, this method should only be effective towards ice-attributed cultivators, is that right?

Master Arctic Dragon tensed his brow and replied, Yes, this method is only usable for cultivators with ice-attributed cultivation techniques. Three of the other four cultivators have ice-attributed cultivation techniques as well. Only you and one other have come across an glacial flame unintentionally.

A cold light glinted in Han Lis eyes, In that case, how do you plan on compensating me? Although I dont know how I am involved in this process, I am sure it consumes a great deal of vitality on my part, not to mention any potential risks that are involved.

Arctic Dragon appeared delighted by Han Lis words, I am happy you are such a straightforward person! If you have any conditions, please state them. On my name Shi, I am willing to fulfill what I can so long as you assist us!

Han Li smiled at his straightforward words.

Fellow Daoist Shi, Ill be blunt. Ill need a detailed explanation of this method to provoke a breakthrough. If the danger is within acceptable ranges, I am willing to help. But if the danger is too great, I wont accept no matter how great your price. Of course, Ill be taking the secret technique as a reward as well.

Arctic Dragon confidently said, It is no problem! I guarantee that this method poses no danger to you or any of the others that are helping me. Of course, a bit of damage to your vitality is unavoidable.

That will be no problem. Furthermore, you should know my reason for coming here. I require a few Profound Ice Flowers to refine medicine. Although Ive already asked Fairy Bai for assistance, I would feel more at ease if you also agreed to help.

With the same smile on his face, Arctic Dragon answered, Hehe, that is only a trivial matter. I will immediately dispatch the full force of the palace. Theyll find the flowers as soon as possible.

Additionally, Id like the technique to refine ice flames that you spoke of. Id like to use it to increase the strength of my Purple Apex Flames.

Thats fine!

As for my last condition, I am interested in looking in your sects records storage. I heard your palace was a sect that has existed since antiquity.

That… will be fine. Go ahead! After some brief hesitation, Arctic Dragon eventually nodded.

With a satisfied smile, Han Li said, Fellow Daoist Shi is quite straightforward. Ill do my best when the time comes.

Haha, Fellow Daoist Han, please wait here for a moment. I will give you a copy of the ice flame refinement technique! Arctic Dragon slapped his storage pouch to summon a white jade slip and began to record the technique in it.

Han Li silently waited with a happy expression.

A short moment, the Arctic Dragon was done and he handed over an additional jade slip and pendant towards Han Li.

Han Li reached out for them and summoned the three items into his hand.

Arctic Dragon looked at Han Li and sternly said, The other jade slip contains the method I researched to breakthrough cultivation realms, but remember that this is only to be used for late-Nascent Soul cultivator. As for the jade pendant, it is used to enter our Hidden Scripture Pavilion, but there is something I must make clear first. Although it holds countless records, many of them have particular restrictions placed on them, preventing them from being duplicated. You will have to commit them to memory. Furthermore, Im only giving you access for ten days. I will take back the pendant when the time comes. Do you have any objections?

Han Li paused in surprise and looked at the jade pendant in his hand. A wry smile appeared on his mouth.

Only ten days? Since Ive already taken these items, I suppose I cant give them back to you. Had I known this would happen, I wouldve made myself more clear.

What is done is done! Fellow Daoist doesnt want to bite off more than he can chew. Arctic Dragon beamed at Han Li with a cunning expression.

With a chuckle, Han Li stood up and said, Now that Ive taken these things, how can I go back on the deal? Ill be going to take a look at your Hidden Scripture Pavilion. If there is any news of the Profound Ice Flower, you can find me there!

Arctic Dragon stood up as well, I hope youll forgive me if I dont see you off. Ill have to gather the others immediately. If you have no pressing business, you may stay at the palace for a while longer. If you require anything for your cultivation, please refer to my Junior Martial Sister Bai. I will order her to accept your requests to the best of her ability.

Thank you for your trouble Fellow Daoist! Han Li briefly saluted before flying out in a bright azure streak.

When Arctic Dragon saw Han Li disappear, his smile gradually faded. Two of the crystalline pillars in the hall then flashed with light to reveal a man and a woman.

The man appeared to be in his forties. He had a common appearance and wore azure scholar robes. The woman was in her twenties, wearing white robes and displaying a beautiful face. She bore a strong resemblance to Bai Yaoyi but her face was extremely pale, to the point where it was almost translucent.

Wearing an ever tense expression, the middle-aged scholar frowned and said, Senior Martial Brother, we havent tested the purple flames yet. Will there be any problems? What if they arent strong enough?

Arctic Dragon let out a long sigh and he shook his head, The purple flames appear somewhat impure, but they contain the Celestial Ice Flames. It shouldnt be lacking in power, and we cant afford to wait. If we dont take the risk, I fear there wont be another opportunity.

With blatant worry, the scholar said, Senior Martial Brothers lifespan has already reached that point? To the best of my knowledge, Myriad Demon Valley has become restless once more. Many of our disciples have discovered traces of low-grade demons at North Night Islands outskirts. Additionally, many disciples that have been recently returned or joined have had high-grade demons possessing them. As per your command, weve been secretly monitoring them in secret.

With an unchanged expression, Arctic Dragon calmly said, Lets not alert them just yet. It has been nearly a thousand years since the demons last invaded. This is to be expected. What is there to fear?

The middle-aged scholar hesitantly said, But Senior Martial Brother wishes to make a breakthrough. Isnt this taking too much of a risk? Wouldnt it be better to do this after repelling the demons?

Arctic Dragon twirled his beard and calmly said, Repel them? How much time will that take? Each time Myriad Demon Valley took charge, they would surround us for a dozen years. I only have a sparse few years of life remaining. Furthermore, Fellow Daoists Ma and Li are rushing over, not to mention Fellow Daoist Han who is already here. When the time comes, do you believe they will sit still as demons attack us?

The white-robed woman then broke her silence, However, our Glacial Quintessence has already been seized by a traitor. Why cant we make the matter public? Why must we provoke the attack from so many demons?

Arctic Dragon sighed and turned his sights to the huge cauldron nearby that was lit with blue flames. Thats a rather simple way of thinking. If we were to make this matter known, our prestige would plummet and harm our reputation as the greatest sect of the north. And why would the demons believe that we have no Glacial Quintessence? The announcement would only be in vain. You should understand that when the ten thousand year period is over, the Ice Jade Caves within Void Spirit Hall will open. If we are lucky, we should be able to gather some Glacial Quintessence. The outside only knows our sect to have a single bottle of it, but who couldve known weve been using it to cultivate and maintain our three great ice flames throughout generations? It wouldnt have been possible otherwise. Fortunately, we lost the bottle of Glacial Quintessence just before the Ice Jade Caves open, or else several generations of disciples would be unable to cultivate the three flames!

When the scholar heard this, he could only wryly smile.

Then, Arctic Dragon changed the subject and said, Your Black Ice Flames and Ice Phoenix Flames have become weaker. When we acquire more Glacial Quintessence, take a few drops to restore them to strength. They will increase my odds of breaking through.

Many thanks, Senior Martial Brother! The middle-aged scholar happily shouted. Even a trace of happiness was betrayed by the white-robed womans icy exterior.

Glacial Quintessence was something of extreme importance.

Junior Martial Sister Bai, return and ask Yaoyi about Fellow Daoist Han. This person was involved in the matters of Kunwu Hall ten years ago. Many great cultivators fell there, but he managed to make it out alive. He should be an individual of exceptional skill.

I understand. I will ask my younger sister of this matter. The white-robed woman indifferently replied.

Good. You may leave now. Arctic Dragon nodded with satisfaction.

The two promptly took their leave and left in streaks of light.

Arctic Dragon remained in place and turned around towards the cauldron, muttering to himself.

Were there anyone remaining the hall, they wouldve clearly heard the words, Heavenvoid Cauldron.

The Goldwind Racoons blurred and phased into the stone gate as if they were never there.

Han Li was stunned. Before he could react, the stone gate flashed and it opened with a rumble. A sparkling passage appeared before him.

The passage was covered in a thick layer of frost as if it were a cave of ice.

The Goldwind Racoon stood at the passage entrance and looked at Han Li with bright eyes of intelligence. At that moment, the other raccoon emerged from hiding as well.

A chuckle sounded in Han Lis ear, Fellow Daoist Han, please come in! Please forgive me for not personally welcoming you in!

Han Li raised his brow and wordlessly stepped forward.

When the Gold Wind Racoons saw that Han Li was following them, they turned around and leapt in the passage.

Easily keeping close behind them, Han Li took several turns and felt the temperature sharply drop as he headed deeper in.

Suddenly, the passage dropped straight down. His heart stirred and he briefly paused before dropping down.

After the time it took to finish a cup of tea, Han Li finally arrived at the end of the passage and saw that the Goldwind Raccoons pounce into a large hall filled with mist.

The large hall was made from translucent stone with lines of glacial light shining from its surface. They seemed to be made from Myriad Year Profound Ice.

When Han Li stepped in the hall, he couldnt help but shiver from the cold, but after purple flames roiled across his body, he appeared entirely unaffected.

So it is true. You nurture a flame of extreme cold! A delighted voice echoed through the hall.

In his alarm, Han Li looked up and instantly shouted, The Celestial Ice Flames!

At the corners of the hall, there were huge crystal pillars, surrounding the twenty-meter-large blue cauldron at the center. This cauldron released threads of blue flames, releasing a wondrous cold and spiritual pressure that Han Li was all too familiar with, much to his shock.

Fellow Daoist Han recognizes the Celestial Ice Flames? What a surprise! A yelp sound form behind the cauldron and a figure blurred from behind it to reveal a meter-tall figure.

A short old dwarf with deep wrinkles, snow-white hair, and blue robes was looking at Han Li with an odd expression.

You are Master Arctic Dragon? Han Lis expression returned to normal and he saluted the old man.

Thats right. Im Arctic Dragon. However, that name is a title that has been passed down by all grand elders of the North Night Palace. Few know of my true name. A glint flashed from the old mans eyes when he spoke to Han Li and he calmly waved his hand, striking one of the pillars in the room with a spell seal.

With a flash, white light brightly glowed from several places from the halls floors, summoning several white meditation mats.

With a kindly tone, the old man said, Because I rarely have guests, I dont have any tables or chairs prepared. I hope you dont take offense!

You are already being too polite. Cultivators like us arent supposed to pay attention to such things in the first place, Han Li smiled and took several steps forward before taking a seat on one of the mats and taking another look at the huge cauldron.

At that moment, he realized that cauldron appeared rather similar to the Heavenvoid Cauldron. The Celestial Ice Flames were completely restricted by the cauldron, preventing any of its power from leaking, else the hall wouldve been long been frozen over.

This puzzled Han Li greatly.

Master Arctic Dragon sat down on the mat across from Han Li and sincerely said, Although I have nothing to discuss with you in particular, my senses tell me youre the one Ive spent years searching for.

Stifling his bewilderment, Han Li slowly said, Im a bit at a loss over what you said. Could you tell me what you meant by that?

Arctic Dragon smiled and said, Brother Han doesnt need to be nervous. Ive invited you here because you were able to consume two Ice Spirit Fruits without a problem. But now that I see that you cultivate flames of extreme cold, I have no further tests for you. Youre the person Ive been searching for.

Han Li pursed his lips and frowned, Why would you be looking for me?

Arctic Dragons face turned stern and he solemnly asked, Could I ask the name of the purple flame of yours? Although I know of many purple spirit flames, Ive never heard of one that was ice attributed. Please enlighten me.

Han Li glanced at the purple flames wrapping around his body and calmly said, The flames were something I produced from wanton cultivation. There is no official name for them. For the sake of convenience, Ive named them the Purple Apex Flames. Their power cant be much better than the Celestial Ice Flames, as powerful as they may be.

Of course, Han Li wouldnt give the truth until he understood how things stood.

When Arctic Dragon heard Han Li, he smiled with satisfaction and said, Your words are true. Although the Purple Apex Flames were born of a fusion, its cold nature is impure. If it had gone through specialized refinement, its power should be even greater.

A trace of amazement was betrayed from his face. Even greater? Ive already refined the flames once before. How can they become purer?

Hehe, it seems Brother Han doesnt understand much of cold flames. Few ice flames of these kinds exist in the world. However, all of these flames have a particular method to purify them further, with the exception being flames used for refinement. Of course, the final increase in strength would depend on ones personal skill and the strength of the flame itself. That doesnt mean it can become several times greater in strength like the Celestial Ice Flames. The old man twirled his beard and looked at the huge cauldron with a trace of pride.

Han Li gasped in shock and he immediately lifted his fingers and produced a thread of purple flame on top of it. Several times its strength? You mean to say that this flame can be purified?

That is an ice flame that has been refined once before, but the process is not complete. Did Fellow Daoist compress it with magic power to reach that stage? Not only does such a reckless method waste your magic power, but it only results in a sliver of flame being refined.

Many thanks for your guidance. Han Li paused for a moment and took another look at the old dwarf, Could Fellow Daoist tell me why you were looking for me?

Before I answer that, I have a few questions Id like to ask you. The Celestial Ice Flames are known to sparsely few, but you were able to recognize them at a glance. Could it be youve seen them before?

When Han Li heard this, his heart roiled and he calmly replied, Ive seen the flames before in a record, but because it was unique Ive kept it in mind. Since North Night Palace had an unclear relation to Heavenvoid Hall, he didnt dare to utter the truth.

Han Lis blunt answer momentarily stunned Arctic Dragon, but he soon chuckled, It seems Ive been meddlesome. The Celestial Ice Flames is something that can be considered exclusive to our North Night Palace. In that case, I will speak truthfully. As you may have guessed, I need the assistance of Brother Hans ice flames. reewebove.com

With that said, the old dwarfs expression turned grave. Han Li remained silent, knowing that Arctic Dragon would be sure to continue and explain himself.

But then, Arctic Dragon paused and looked at Han Li with a strange expression, asking, Brother Han, what do you feel about my cultivation? Are you able to tell any difference between me and other late-Nascent Soul cultivators?

Given what Arctic Dragon said, Han Li used his spiritual sense to examine him without any reserve. He then hesitantly said, You are undoubtedly a late-Nascent Soul cultivator, but your spiritual sense and cultivation is much stronger than other grand cultivators Ive seen before. In this manner, you are a bit different.

Arctic Dragon calmly said, As of current, my cultivation has reached the peak of late-Nascent Soul stage. I am only a half-step away from Deity Transformation stage. To tell the truth, Ive been lingering at this stage for three hundred years. Ive taken several medicine pills and used many secret techniques before finally breaking through halfway to Deity Transformation cultivation. My current appearance is a result of consuming medicine pills recklessly.

A sudden realization shook Han Li, So it was like that! Have you comprehended a few abilities of Deity Transformation stage?

Hehe! With my current appearance, Ive been avoiding seeing other people. Ive remained in secluded cultivation, researching methods to breakthrough the last meager barrier to Deity Transformation stage. As a result of those years of hard work, I eventually found a final solution after looking through several ancient records. The method is said to have a thirty percent chance of breaking the bottleneck and allowing me to ascend to Deity Transformation stage.

You wish to draw the support of a flame of great cold? In that case, shouldnt many cultivators in your sect cultivate ice attribute techniques? It shouldnt be hard to find an elder who cultivates ice flames. Why me?

This method requires five different Nascent Soul cultivators, each wielding a difference ice flame. The North Night Palace has two cultivators that possess an ice flame, and I also managed to find two from outside the sect. Ive been searching for the final user for several years, but Ive yet to find one until now! With that said, the old dwarfs face was filled with excitement.

Without any reservation, Bai Yaoyi said, Ive yet to forget the many times youve helped me. Please dont hesitate to speak.

To tell the truth, even if Han Li hadnt rescued her from the ice that sealed her in the Devil Suppressing Pagoda, he still possessed the fearsome abilities comparable to a late-Nascent Soul cultivator. She was happy to befriend such a character.

Han Li calmly said, It isnt anything major. I only heard that North Night Island grew Profound Ice Flowers in abundance. I require them as the main ingredient for a medicine pill.

Profound Ice Flowers? Those arent very easy to find. Although we dont have many that are ripe, there are a few that will soon be ready. Ill have a few of our disciples go look for any Myriad Year Profound Ice. The flower only grows on profound ice that had recently reached that age. There shouldnt be a problem!

Han Li grinned, It is great that you can help me. It would be quite troublesome if I had to handle it alone.

Bai Yaoyi wore a beaming smile and said, It is only a minor affair. However, it isnt something that will finish in a couple of days. Since Brother Han has come to our sect, how about he stay for a few days? I hold your abilities in great admiration. Perhaps we may converse on a few teachings.

I am also greatly interested in the techniques of your sect. I have long heard that your palace has several of the most powerful ice-attributed techniques in the Great Jin. Although I dont personally cultivate ice-attribute techniques, perhaps there are benefits to be had.

After this brief exchange, a discussion broke out between them.

Because the two were in similar realms of cultivation, they began to talk about their troubles of cultivation. As Ren Bi was also a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, he also had a few original points to add. As such, time passed in the pavilion in a lively chatter.

After half a day passed, Han Li bid farewells, feeling it inappropriate to bother her further after she only recently emerged from secluded cultivation.

When Bai Yaoyi saw this, she hadnt urged him to stay. Instead, she commanded her disciple surnamed Yuan to guide Han Li to an esteemed guest building for the time being. He would be notified as soon as the information of Profound Ice Flowers were acquired.

With his request accepted, he saluted the two and followed the disciple out from the building.

Ren Bi didnt immediately depart. It seemed he had something he wished to further discuss with her.

With the beautiful woman guiding Han Li, he was led to a span of dozen buildings built into the mountain wall, all beautifully constructed. It seemed these were the quarters for esteemed guests.

Knowing that Bai Yaoyi viewed Han Li in high regard, the beautiful woman was extremely respectful towards Han Li and answered all his questions to the best of her knowledge.

In the blink of an eye, the two arrived in front of one of the buildings. Before they entered, a young doll-like woman dressed in maid clothes emerged from the building.

The woman immediately stepped forward and bowed, I pay my respects to Martial Aunt Yuan!

Disciple Yuan sternly said, Martial Niece Hua, this is Senior Han, an esteemed guest of the Martial Ancestor. Serve him well. If you are negligent, there will be punishments.

I will do my utmost! The maids heart trembled and she answered with a respectful tone. Meanwhile, she stole a glance at Han Li and hastily turned her head away when their eyes met.

Han Li replied with a smile.

Disciple Yuan turned to Han Li, Senior Han, if you are dissatisfied with Martial Niece Hua, well replace her immediately.

There is no need. She will do. Han Li shook his head and entered the building in stride.

The other two closely followed after him.

The buildings interior was well arranged and was to Han Lis satisfaction. There were a few simple restrictions that prevented cultivators from prying inside as well.

With a few brief words, he sent the disciple away and stayed in the residence.

To tell the truth, he was left somewhat tired as he was traveling ever since he left the Snowchain Mountains. He planned on using this time to take a proper rest and bring himself back to peak performance.

Two days passed with Han Li meditating on the second floor. He had yet to emerge.

If he were to roam as he wished, he would certainly attract the attention of many high-grade cultivators of the sect.

After all, he was a foreign Nascent Soul-grade cultivator. It was impossible for them to not be on guard.

He also had no intention of stirring up trouble. Although he wanted more information on the Great Yin Trueflame, he wouldnt risk taking action until after he finished refining the Profound Ice Pill.

The removal of Nangong Wans Soul Seal Curse was at the top of his list of priorities.

As for the maid that was assigned to serve him, he hadnt spoken to her apart from telling her to wait outside.

On the morning of the third day, his face began to stir as he sat in meditation. Azure light flickered from his body and a series of booms sounded out. He opened his eyes with a sullen expression.

Someones spiritual sense had penetrated the buildings restrictions without any restraint and directly moved to probe his body. As such, he forcefully repelled it.

However, this persons spiritual sense was no weaker than his. It shouldve belonged to a late-Nascent Soul cultivator.

Han Lis mind quickly stirred, but before he could think of how to respond, he heard a delicate childs voice in his ear.

Youre Fellow Daoist Han? I am Master Arctic Dragon. Would you be interested in meeting me?

Master Arctic Dragon? Han Lis heart trembled. Wasnt he North Night Palaces grand elder?

He was an exceedingly mysterious person. Although he was known to be vastly powerful in the north, it was rather odd how no one had seen him take action. It was almost as if he became the grand elder overnight.

Han Li felt a bit odd, but with his current abilities, he had nothing to fear from a late-Nascent Soul cultivator. He hesitated for a moment before resolving himself and promptly replied through his spiritual sense, Since Fellow Daoist Arctic Dragon invited me, how could I refuse such kindness. I will immediately head over to pay my respects!

Pleased by Han Lis response, Master Arctic Dragon happily said, Hehe, very good! My spirit beasts will soon arrive. Fellow Daoist Han will only have to follow it. My residence will be honored by your presence!

Soon after, white light flashed and the threads of spiritual sense disappeared.

Han Li didnt immediately move. He stayed still as a light flickered from his eyes, then slowly moving down the stairs.

The doll-faced maid was sitting on a chair on the first floor, looking at a jade slip in her hand. When she saw Han Li descend, she stood up in a panic.

He simply nodded at her and walked out of the building without paying her any further heed.

The maid was left completely shocked, at a loss of what to do. At her cultivation, she couldnt have known what happened on the upper floor.

When Han Li walked outside, he instantly spotted a cat-like beast perched on top of a tree. It glanced at Han Li with eyes glowing yellow. Its body glowed with shining golden fur as if it were made of pure gold.

He narrowed his eyes and examined the small beast before revealing a trace of surprise.

A Goldwind Raccoon! These rare creatures should only be in male-female pairs. And it is said their concealment techniques are miraculous beyond compare, Han Li muttered to himself. Then, his expression became blank and he swept his gaze to another tree without discovering anything.

Having made sure of Han Lis identity, the raccoon yelped and golden light flashed from a nearby tree to reveal another small beast. The raccoon was slightly smaller than the one he saw first.

Han Lis heart trembled. Even with his vast spiritual sense, he wasnt able to detect it in the slightest.

The two Goldwind Raccoons exchanged a glance and immediately rushed off behind them.

Without another thought, Han Li brightly glowed and he followed after the two beasts in an azure streak.

As he continued to follow them, an inconceivable event occurred.

One of the Goldwind Racoons blurred and disappeared in front of Han Li.

In his alarm, he hastily swept his spiritual sense nearby but to no avail.

He felt his blood run cold. Unwilling to give up, his eyes flickered blue and swept his gaze past his surroundings. He eventually found it near the raccoon guiding him as a shadow-like figure.

Having finally found the beast, Han Li inwardly sighed with relief. If there was something he truly couldnt detect roaming near him, he would be ill at ease.

The two Goldwind Racoons were only somewhat faster than ordinary flight techniques, Han Li was able to easily trail behind them.

On the way, he encountered many inner palace cultivators. They were somewhat shocked upon seeing Han Lis unfamiliar expression, but when they saw the Goldwind Raccoon flying in front of him, they seemed to realize something and left the matter alone.

Of course, the wouldnt dare to block Han Li in the first place given his Nascent Soul cultivation.

Following the beasts, he flew swerved across several buildings before arriving at a stone gate in front of the mountain.

The stone gate was about twenty meters tall and shined with a faint yellow light. Talisman characters shined from its surface as if under the effects of a grand restriction.

Han Li came to a stop and looked at it with narrow eyes.

Heavenvoid Hall? In his alarm, a thought resounded through Han Lis mind.

The three jade palace halls shared the exact same style as the Scattered Star Seas Heavenvoid Hall.

There were carved from single portions of fine jade and shined with a faint gorgeous light.

However, these buildings were only a third of the size of Heavenvoid Hall when he saw it floating in the air.

Han Li forcefully stifled his surprise and took another look. Eventually, he concluded that his impression was correct and that there was no doubt a relationship between the three buildings and Heavenvoid Hall. However, the gates to the halls laid bare as there were no signs on top of them.

With a raised brow, Han Li asked, This is the sects inner palace? It is in place of rich spiritual Qi as expected, but the three large halls appear quite aged. Whats the history behind them?

Elder Ren glanced at the three buildings and answered, Youre talking about Spirit Void Halls? These three buildings were here before the sect was established. It was said that the sect ancestor and several of his good friends used their vast abilities to place them here. They are even more marvelous to behold from the inside.

The Spirit Void Halls? Han Li repeated its name with an odd look in his eye.

Elder Ren wore a mysterious smile and said, Do they interest you, Brother Han? Apart from important affairs, the halls will remain sealed. It is only under the approval of half of the sect elders that the Spirit Void Halls are opened. As for the reason, it isnt something that I can tell!

Han Li smiled back and asked no further questions. Suspicions of prying into the secrets of another sect could have great consequences.

Additionally, even if the three halls had any relationship to Heavenvoid Hall, it had little to do with him. The most important treasure of Heavenvoid Hall was already in his possession.

Fellow Daoist Han, please follow me. The Pure Focus Pavilion is over there. As it seems that Junior Martial Sister Bai views you importantly, Ill bring you to where she receives her close guests. It is rather serene there.

Is that so? I am honored. Han Li smiled.

Elder Ren smiled back and took to the air, bringing Han Li over to one of the mountain walls before landing in front of a pavilion.

The building was three stories tall with each floor being over thirty meters tall. Its body was constructed from emerald wood and was mostly embedded into the mountain. There was a yellow signboard that hung on its entrance with the words Pure Focus Pavilion engraved in silver lettering.

As Han Li in front of it, a white-robed woman walked out from the building. When she saw the two, she momentarily paused in surprise and respectfully said, I pay my respects, Martial Senior Ren. And this must be Senior Han?

Correct, Han Li calmly replied, Is Fairy Bai inside?

The beautiful woman stood slightly to the side and faced Han Li, saying, Master had just emerged from her seclusion and is stabilizing her magic power in the pavilion. She has sent me to welcome you, Senior Han. I hope you dont take offense!

Revealing little surprise, the woman wryly smiled and said, Martial Senior Ren, youve put me in a difficult position. You should know that Master has already told me that she does not wish to see you. When Junior Martial Sister Gong allowed you to see her, she was punished severely after the fact.

Elder Ren blushed, but soon, he shifted his gaze, But this time is different. I am accompanying Brother Han. Will she refuse to see me along with Brother Han?

When Han Li heard this, he smirked and said little else.

This… A hesitant expression appeared on her face.

Yaner, let your Martial Senior Ren in. I will see him! Bai Yaoyis voice sounded from the pavilion.

As you command! The womans expression relaxed and she withdrew further to the side. Martial Senior Ren, please come in.

Elder Rens face lit up when he heard Bai Yaoyis voice and a trace of happiness lit up on his face. His lips immediately moved, sending a voice transmission to Bai Yaoyi inside.

Senior Martial Brother Ren Bi, how about you talk after you enter? Why are you speaking while Fellow Daoist Han is still outside? Do you want us to appear rude?

Han Li stroked his chin and smiled silently.

With embarrassment on his face, he said, How careless of me. Brother Han, let us talk inside!

What? Ive always seen Brother Ren as a friendly person! Brother Han replied with a beaming smile. He now realized that the reason why the man made such efforts to befriend Han Li was that he held affections for Bai Yaoyi. This greatly reduced Han Lis wariness towards him.

With the woman guiding the way, the two entered the Pure Focus Pavilion.

The first floor couldnt be considered to be very large as it was only sixty meters wide. There were a set of simple bamboo table and chairs but there were pots of blooming yellow flowers that surrounded the corners. They were all particularly fragrant.

Bai Yaoyi didnt immediately descend to meet them, but when the two took a seat, her voice sounded from above, Brother Han, please wait a moment. My cultivation technique is a bit peculiar. Once I finish circulating it, Ill head down immediately to see you. Brother Han may as well sample our sects Snow Spirit Fruit for the time being.

Once that was said, Bai Yaoyis disciple clapped her hands and two young white-robed women walked in, each holding a vermillion wooden plate with a branch filled with thumb-sized translucent berries.

Once they placed the plates on the table, the two women respectfully withdrew.

The Ice Spirit Fruit is exclusive to our sect. Even our inner palace elders acquire a few every year. Not only is the fruit delicious, but it also contains pure ice spiritual power. If an ice-attributed cultivator regularly consumed them, it would greatly aid their cultivation. When Ren Bi saw the fruits, he introduced them to Han Li and casually tossed one of them into his mouth.

When Han Li saw this, he followed suit and tossed one into his mouth. As soon as he bit it, he felt pure glacial Qi roil in his mouth.

Although he didnt cultivate ice-attributed techniques, he harbored peak glacial flames within his body, such as the Purple Apex Flames and the Great Yin Trueflames. As such, he was able to swallow them without any problem.

With an interested gaze, he took another one and tossed it into his mouth.

When Ren Bi saw this, shock momentarily appeared on his face.

The Ice Spirit Fruits were quite famous, providing even Nascent Soul cultivators benefits in their consumption. However, cultivators who didnt practice ice- or fire-attributed cultivations arts would suffer internal frostbite if they carelessly consumed one.

Han Li, who emitted pure wood-attributed spiritual power, was able to swallow one and displayed little surprise. Taking two such fruits were something that even a fire-attributed cultivator such as himself didnt dare to do.

As Ren Bi was inwardly shocked, footsteps sounded from above to reveal a gorgeous white-robed woman walking down the stairs.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and he immediately stood up with a hearty smile, Fairy Bai, its been over ten years. I trust you are doing well?

Ren Bis face happily lit up, Junior Martial Sister Bai, youve finally agreed to see me!

On the day that we parted, I knew that Brother Han wouldnt have made an appointment without reason. For the past several years, Ive been waiting for your arrival in the sect. Your arrival has been expected, Bai Yaoyi beamed a smile at Han Li, but then she turned to Ren Bi and her face turned cold, As for you, Senior Martial Brother Ren, I wouldnt have agreed to see you if it werent for Brother Han!

Ren Bi rushed to speak, Ive already found a method to resolve the problem. I definitely wont leave you disappointed.

Bai Yaoyi shook her head and said, In that case, speak of it later. Fellow Daoist Han has come a long way. Leave that matter for later!

Ren Bis expression blanked a moment as if something immediately came to mind. He then smiled, Thats fine, Ill find an opportunity to talk about it in more detail in the future. Now, I am already very happy that youve agreed to see me.

Bai Yaoyi nodded with a neutral expression and sat down at the main seat at the table. Han Li and Ren Bi sat back down.

After examining her, Han Li smiled and said, Fairy Bai, your cultivation has vastly increased since the last time I saw you!

Bai Yaoyi beamed in response, Brother Han must be joking. My abilities cant hope to compare to yours!

She clearly remembered Han Lis display of abilities at the Yin Yang Cave and Kunwu Mountain, and therefore treated him with the utmost respect.

When Ren Bi heard Bai Yaoyis respect for Han Li, his expression changed and he examined Han Li once more in surprise.

Bai Yaoyi continued, Brother Han, when you mentioned paying a visit to North Night Palace, you shouldve had some purpose in mind.

Han Lis face turned pensive for a moment before answering with a grin, Since you raised the question, I will be forthright. It is true, I came to North Night Palace because I had a request for you.

The hundred-meter-tall wall of ice surrounding the city wasnt exceptional in height, but its translucent and sparkling material was mesmerizing.

But what was particularly eye-catching was that the wall appeared entirely smooth as if it was carved out from a blade. There wasnt the slightest hint that bricks had ever been used.

At the city gate, there were a dozen white-clothed cultivators standing guard.

The highest cultivation among them was at Foundation Establishment cultivation, but more notably, several white apes were squatting amongst them. They had long snow-white hair and a pair of menacing green eyes.

The apes were spirit beasts that were long acclimated to the snow. Although their cultivation wasnt very high, they were exceptionally intelligent and easy to tame, leading to many northern cultivators raising them.

However, the apes on the walls were particularly large, several times larger than one would expect of a snow ape, and their demonic Qi revealed them to be rank four and five demon beasts, equivalent to the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This attracted much attention to Han Li. As the top sect in the north, the Night Night Palace should have an original technique to nurture these apes.

When the cultivators on the walls saw the pale youth with a headful of gray hair, they repeatedly addressed him as Martial Ancestor Ren.

Elder Ren grunted in acknowledgment and boldly walked through the gates.

When they saw Han Li following behind their martial ancestor, they didnt dare to question them.

But just as Han Li crossed the gate, the snow apes suddenly acted strangely.

The spirit beasts whined and backed away from Han Li in a panic.

In their alarm, the North Night Palace cultivators scolded the beasts, but the apes continued, lying on their chest and covering the back of their head with their arms, showing submission to Han Li.

When Elder Ren saw this, he yelped and shot Han Li a glance with an odd expression. Do you have a high-grade ape-type spirit beast? Although these apes arent very powerful, their senses are exceptionally keen.

When Han Li heard this, he knew the snow apes sensed the Weeping Soul Beast and they acted out of fear. He indifferently answered, I do have one, but it isnt all that powerful. I rarely ever use it.

Elder Ren smiled and dropped the matter as they entered the city of ice.

The citys main road started from the city gate and was exceptionally wide. A layer of smooth ice paved its surface.

In the distance, one could see a few people on the roads, all low-grade cultivators wearing yellow and white.

Buildings lined the side of the road in an orderly fashion. Rather than a city, it was more appropriate to call it a fortress.

Before Han Li could further examine the city, Elder Ren flew in the direction of the huge mountain at a low altitude.

Han Lis face betrayed a trace of surprise and he silently took off after him.

A short while later, the two landed on a platform at the center of the mountain.

Elder Ren beamed at Han Li and explained, From now on, Brother Han must follow me on foot as the upper portion of the mountain enters the scope of the inner palace. I am an elder there, but even I must adhere to the rules.

Han Li nodded, and the two slowly made their way up a flight of translucent stairs carved from ice.

There werent many disciples that were allowed to enter the inner palace, but the few people they met along the way respectfully saluted the pale youth.

Additionally, the elder treated these disciples differently and smiled at them no matter their level of cultivation.

Han Li perceived that these inner palace cultivators all possessed exceptional aptitudes, and along the way, he discovered four fearsome restrictions that gave him a shiver down his back. It appeared the sect possessed an ingenious spell formation grandmaster.

This piqued Han Lis interest in the sect even more. He would have to see whether or not he could converse formation insights with the said expert.

As the thoughts appeared in his head, he followed the pale youth to a more obscure path. When they reached the end, they stood before a giant wall of ice that was a kilometer tall.

When Han Li spotted it, he raised his brow and looked at it with slight awe.

The pale youth raised his hand and he released a jade tile glowing with green light. A silver mist emerged and wrapped around it before phasing into the wall of ice.

A moment later, the wall silently trembled and an opening split through the middle, creating a six-meter-wide passage.

Elder Ren shook his head and explained, The buildings on the top of the mountain are only for show. In truth, theyre used as residences for the inner sects low-grade cultivators. Higher grade disciples reside in Hidden Arctic Dragon Border, the true location of our palace. Were you not a good friend of Junior Martial Sister Bai, I wouldnt have dared bring you here.

Han Li wore a smile in response, but he was indifferent about the matter. This so-called Hidden Arctic Dragon Border was well known in the north. It could hardly be considered a secret. Otherwise, why would this Elder Ren bring him here, or for Bai Yaoyi to tell him about this place?

More notably was how this person made such efforts to befriend him, despite being the first time they had met. This puzzled Han Li and caused him to view Elder Ren with greater caution.

But when Han Li was offered passage inside, he didnt refuse and walked inside shoulder to shoulder with Elder Ren.

The passage was only three meters long. He couldnt help but betray shock from his face after what he saw at the other end.

There was a verdant valley filled with spring life. It was filled with bright sunlight and rarely seen plants.

The valley spanned a couple of kilometers and was enclosed in the green mountain walls. However, there were several jade buildings constructed against the walls in a display of beautiful and impeccable craftsmanship.

At the very center of the valley, there were three large halls carved from white jade that seemed to take up a third of the valleys space.

Han Li glanced at them with a slight change in expression but astonishment filled his heart.

Those people are your companions? Han Li examined the medallion in his hand and put it away in an azure flash.

After taking a glance at the others behind him, Gu Tianqi asked with a trace of worry, These Fellow Daoists are my recent acquaintances. Weve decided to travel together because were aiming to enter the North Night Palace together. Is there something odd?

Han Li focused his gaze on a young beautiful woman amongst them and coldly smiled, There is certainly someone amongst you that is amiss.

What? Gu Tianqi asked in surprise.

Han Li smirked and calmly said, There is a demon mixed among you. Wouldnt you say thats a bit odd?

A demon? Gu Tianqis expression vastly changed and he quickly turned to look at the female cultivator.

The other cultivators were shocked and unconsciously stepped away from the woman.

She widely opened her eyes and her heart jumped. She hastily explained, Senior must be joking. I am a disciple of the Shuang Regions Ning Clan. How could I be a demon?

When the youth from before saw the female cultivators shocked appearance, he hastily spoke out as the others wore hesitant expressions, Thats right, Senior. Are you mistaken? Fellow Daoist Ning is a true member of the Ning Clan. Ive seen her several times already.

Han Li snorted in dismissal, A trifling soul fragment dares to feign ignorance in front of me? Reveal yourself! Soon after, Han Li reached out towards her and light flickered from the top of her head. A large azure hand materialized and grabbed her.

As soon as the hand appeared, the shocked womans figure trembled and her surprise was instantly changed to resentment. Then, her figure blurred and shot sixty meters high into the air.

Let alone a Qi Condensation cultivator, this speed couldnt have belonged to a Core Formation cultivator.

Han Li smirked and waved his sleeve, releasing a yellow streak that disappeared in the next instant. In the following moment, it appeared above the womans head to reveal a foot-tall monk staff.

Han Li cast a spell seal at the treasure and it blurred, massively increasing in size until it took the form of a ten-meter-tall tiger phantom, fiercely pouncing upon her.

The young woman had no time to act. She spouted out black demonic Qi to block the attack.

A huge explosion sounded out and yellow light flickered. The black Qi was dispersed by the strike, offering not the slightest resistance and the staff fell on top of the womans head.

The woman shrieked and her body immediately tumbled through the air. Meanwhile, a black silhouette flew out from the womans body and circled in the air before darting to the ground.

Then, thunder sounded out and a net of golden lightning appeared above the black figures head. Before she could react, the net fell on top of her.

Suddenly, repeated eruptions sounded out and the black demon was no more.

These near-instant actions left the Qi Condensation cultivators dumbstruck.

Han Li waved his hand, having the monk staff shrink with a tremble before summoning it back into his sleeve.

With that done, Han Li tossed a blue bottle in Gu Tianqis direction.

The middle-aged man unconsciously caught it.

The medicine pills should help you pass through the first. Consider it for a trade for the Soul Stabilizing Medallion. With that said, azure light flared around him and he flew off, disappearing out of sight in the blink of an eye.

When the middle-aged man awoken from his stupor, he tightly grasped the bottle with a pleasant surprise.

Then, the nearby cultivators cried in alarm. The young woman that had earlier fell was waking up. It appeared Han Lis monk staff hadnt left any injuries on her body.

…

With a medallion in his hand, he flew to the North Night Palace. He recalled what had happened earlier with a smile.

The soul fragment of a high-grade demon beast was lingering inside the young womans body. From its strength, it appeared to belong to a grade eight demon beast at the very least. The demon was quite shrewd to be able to conceal the soul fragment inside the womans body without her knowledge.

If she truly managed to make it into the sect, the demon wouldve been able to slip past using her body.

Since Han Li discovered this in passing, he figured he would exterminate the soul fragment as it would take little effort and prevent any commotion from stirring while he was visiting the sect.

Could it be that demon beast was sneaking into the sect through such a clever method for the Glacial Quintessence?

After all, he had heard that the North Night Palace never spread any information of the disappearance of its Glacial Quintessence. There must be a reason why they were covering it up.

As his mind wandered, he flew as fast as a bolt of lightning and soon found himself in a storm with fist-sized hail.

The hail from the storm was sparkling and translucent, pattering against his light barrier with low thuds as if it were made of stone itself.

But at Han Lis current cultivation, the huge hailstones were beneath his notice.

After flying for an hour, Han Lis eyes lit up as he saw the hail and snow suddenly disappear around him.

He spotted a city constructed from ice a short distance ahead of him.

The buildings glistened with light from a distance, reflecting sunlight as rainbows. He also spotted a few white clouds sparkling the city.

A trace of amazement appeared on Han Lis face.

However, his gaze quickly fell onto a huge mountain behind the city.

The mountain was gigantic by mortal standards, reaching thirty thousand meters in height at the very least. But it wasnt much when compared to Kunwu Mountain.

But what truly surprised Han Li was that the mountain was shaped as a gigantic pillar. It was even covered in sparkling profoundly-deep layer of frost.

If it werent for traces of green that emerged from the mountain, he wouldve believed it to be made entirely of ice.

He wasnt able to see into the mountain even with his Brightsight Spirit Eyes, but he was able to see a group of sparkling buildings on top of it, what he believed to be the North Night Palace. freeebnovl.cm

Han Li didnt immediately head over to the city, however.

The area along the way seemed to consist of only common glaciers, but there was an invisible restriction placed between them. As an accomplished spell formation master, Han Li sensed that they were fearsome to behold. Had he imprudently charged into them, he feared he wouldve activated something difficult to deal with.

Furthermore, as soon as he escaped the snowstorm, several streaks of light shot out from the city to meet him.

Han Li raised his brow when he saw this, but a thought flashed from his mind and he looked at the medallion in his hand.

Not only did the medallion guide the way, but it would also allow the North Night Palace to know the whereabouts of the cultivators looking to enter the sect.

As he thought this, the streaks of light instantly arrived before him: a middle-aged man with a delicate expression and two women, all dressed in white robes. The man possessed Core Formation cultivation and the two women were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

When the man took a closer look at Han Li, a trace of alarm appeared on his face and he hastily bowed, This Junior is the outer palace steward Shi Yun. May I please ask your esteemed name and your business coming here?

When these cultivators saw Han Li emerge from the snowstorm, they knew he was no ordinary cultivator, but they hadnt expected a Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone an unfamiliar mid-grade one. This caused them to grow nervous.

Han Li calmly answered, You dont need to know my name. Ive only come here to visit a friend, one of your sect elders.

When Shi Yun heard Han Lis answer, his face relaxed and he asked with a friendly tone, Could you tell us which elder Senior is talking about? I will immediately make a report.

Han Li slowly said, Ive met Fairy Bai Yaoyi several years ago. Is she present?

Martial Aunt Bai? Shes within the sect, but I believe shes currently in seclusion. I will send a voice transmission talisman to her immediately. Please wait for a moment! The Shi Yuns face became visibly relieved with Han Lis answer, and he immediately sent a talisman.

For the time being, Han Li remained still, but his eyes wandered and examined the scenery.

In response, Shi Yun blinked and thought to say something, but then a scarlet streak flew out from the snowstorm four hundred meters behind them.

A yelp sounded out from the streak and quickly turned in their direction.

Before the streak arrived before them, the streak let out a hearty laugh.

Did this Fellow Daoist come to visit our palace? What is his name?

When the light faded, a pale youth with a headful of gray hair was revealed. His eyes betrayed a profound depth.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and examined the person in front of him. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he discovered that he was a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator like himself.

Before Han Li could reply, Shi Yun happily took a step forward and respectfully saluted the cultivator, This disciple respectfully pays his respects to Martial Uncle Bi. Was your journey peaceful?

The Snowchain mountains have been enveloped in silent cold for over ten years.

Everyone in the region knew that a vastly powerful expert was cultivating on the mountain. Naturally, no one dared to travel near the area and the mountains remained undisturbed.

When the nearby factions saw that this expert was only looking for a place to cultivate and had done nothing else, they were relieved.

One day, a heavy snowstorm assailed the Snowchain mountains with ferocious winds and dandelion-sized snowflakes. As the storm concealed the mountain from view, a foot layer of snow quickly blanketed it.

Such a large snowstorm was uncommon in even in such an icy climate. Even lower-grade cultivators were unwilling to brave the weather, but it was then that a dazzling azure streak broke through the air and flickered out of sight.

Two hours later, an azure streak appeared tens of thousands of kilometers away, near a mountain range far from the Snowchain mountains. The light faded from the streak to reveal Han Li.

Having cultivated for over ten years, he had fully refined all of his treasures and even took the Great Yin Trueflame into his body, completing the first stage of its cultivation. With all of this prepared, there would be nothing that posed a threat apart from an attack from many late-Nascent Soul cultivators or a fearsome existence on the level of the Devil Ancestor Yuan Cha.

Not only was his cultivation and abilities far greater than when he entered Kunwu Mountain, the cinque devils and treasures he acquired should allow him to fight several late-Nascent Soul cultivators on fair ground.

After so many years passed, he reckoned that the Kunwu Mountain commotion shouldve died down and decided to make his way to his next destination, North Night Island.

When half a month passed, cultivators would begin to discover that the white mist covering the Snowchain Mountains had disappeared, and had become completely uninhabited.

Following the appearance of a suddenly uncontested spirit vein, the nearby factions broke out into war.

…

North Night Island was actually a peninsula a prefecture away from the Shuang Region.

Due to the extreme temperatures, even lower-grade cultivators didnt dare to tread outside without protection. And rather than being a peninsula surrounded by water, it was surrounded by endless sheets of ice with glaciers embedded between them.

North Night Island was hundred thousands of kilometers long with a giant city of ice at the islands northmost edge. It was North Night Palace, the greatest sect in the north.

In truth, the sects power was no weaker than the top ten devilish and righteous sects of the Great Jin. But because North Night Island was located in what was considered wilderness, the many sects didnt recognize the palace as part of the Great Jin, regarding it as an overseas sect and discluding it from the ranking of sects in the Great Jin.

But in the sparsely populated northern regions of the Great Jin, the North Night Palace was even more famous than the top sects of the Great Jin mainland, the Heavenly Devil Sect and the High Zenith Sect. There was no doubt they were the top sect of the north.

In the northern regions, the sect was also known by the name of the North Immortal Palace. Countless low-grade vagrant cultivators wished to enter it.

North Night Palace was also divided between inner and outer divisions. The inner palace disciples chosen from several great cultivator clans in the region. As for the outer palace disciples, they were chosen from smaller clans and vagrant cultivators from outside the peninsula. Of course, if an outer palace disciple displayed immense talent or achieved great merits, they had the opportunity to become an inner palace disciple.

And if one lacked aptitude and still wished to join the outer palace, it would require one to tread the thousands of kilometers of frost surrounding North Night Palace on foot.

Since these low-grade cultivators couldnt fly due to the restrictions in the area, they would have to rely on their abilities and cultivation to block the glacial cold. As such, if they would be admitted into the outer palace if they managed to reach it.

No matter what they relied on to cross the harsh temperatures, this accomplishment would display some redeeming qualities.

Of course, there still werent many cultivators that succeeded. Many would freeze trying. But for their quest to tread the path of cultivation, the cultivators were drawn like moths to the flame.

One day in a region thousands of kilometers away from North Night Palace, there were over ten figures each covered in fur cloaks. Their bodies sparkled with light as they slowly made their way forward on foot inside a vicious snowstorm.

These people have been threading in the frost for over half a month. Their complexions were deathly pale and their footsteps were unsteady. However, none of them dared to stop and rest. The cold wouldnt allow it. They could only forcefully sustain themselves with magic stones and power.

But one of these travelers had a particularly unsightly expression and his breath was ragged. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and took out a medicine bottle from his robe, putting a scarlet medicine pill into his mouth and soon restoring a bit of color to his pale face.

The middle-aged man in front was covered in a deep yellow light barrier. Without turning his head, he knowingly said, Fellow Daoist Gu, how many Yang Fire Pills do you have? If you can take them regularly, you might have a problem reaching North Night Palace. Future hailstorms will prove several times harsher than the one we just passed.

The cultivator who took the medicine pill was a youth in his twenties. He forced a smile and said, Brother Gu, dont worry. I still have a bottle in reserve. Ill be able to make it past! He seemed somewhat fearful towards the middle-aged man.

That will be good. I dont want to travel together with a person without a chance. As if satisfied with the youths reply, light flickered from his body and he continued forward.

When the others saw this, they hastily head on their way. It was almost as if sticking close to this person was their only chance at entering North Night Palace.

When the middle-aged man took several steps forward, he let out a yelp and his steps came to a sudden halt, then turning his head to look above.

When the others followed his gaze, they discovered an azure silhouette floating in the sky amidst the snowstorm. Strangely enough, there was an invisible force keeping the snowstorm ten meters at bay.

The middle-aged man was quite exceptional to discover this person in the air.

All of the cultivators present were alarmed and soon their expressions changed. Even Core Formation cultivators should be able to fly unaffected by the areas restrictions. Could it be that this person was a legendary Nascent Soul cultivator? Or was it a high-grade cultivator from North Night Palace? But their attire seemed foreign.

The cultivators looked at each other in dismay, apprehension filling their hearts.

You are vagrant cultivators looking to enter North Night Palace? The silhouette glowing in azure light spoke with a young voice.

Although the middle-aged mans cultivation wasnt very high, he knew much of the world and his mind was roused upon hearing this persons question. He promptly bowed and hastily answered, This Juniors name is Gu Tianqu. I am one of those undergoing the trial to join. Does Senior have any commands? As he spoke, he wore an expression of solemn respect.

The azure figure calmly said, You are quite discerning, but I dont have orders in particular. Its just that this land is strange and I cant seem to figure out my war forward. Since you are certain of your path, do you have something to guide you?

When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression relaxed, but he still hurriedly replied, It seems this is Seniors first time at North Night Island. Other areas of North Night Island are easy enough to tread, but this region is under the influence of the palaces grand formation.

It uses renown Mythic Serpent Stone as the formations core, causing a cultivators spiritual sense to sway in different directions. If anyone were to think they were flying straight, I fear that would never reach the palace. As for Juniors like us, weve each bought a Soul Stabilizing Medallion from the market at North Night Islands entrance. With this magic tool, our sense of direction wont stray. freewbne.com

The azure figure seemed stunned. A Soul Stabilizing Medallion?

Yes, although it isnt a rare magic tool, it is required to make it to the palace. It is sold at by a shop from the palace. Furthermore, there are only thirty that are soul throughout a year and they lose effectiveness when the year passes. In order to be safe, I purchased an extra medallion. May I offer it to Senior? The middle-aged mans eyes shifted and he took out a yellow plate from his sleeve. He then held it forward with both hands.

The azure silhouette stroked his chin and chuckled, reaching out towards it without any reservations.

In a yellow flash, the medallion was summoned into his hand.

Needless to say, the azure silhouette was Han Li, who had flown to North Night Island in about a months time.

Originally, he believed he would be able to easily overcome the sects restrictions with his abilities, but when he arrived at the palace, he couldnt have imagined that his spiritual sense would lapse. For a time, he wasnt able to find the palaces location, much to his surprise and irritation.

Because he had come here to pay a friendly visit, it wasnt as if he could break through the restrictions with violent force.

Unable to come up with a better option, he happened upon a group of people.
