Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

138: Chapter 138 The Eternal Ice Plains, Returning HomeChen Zhuxiao and Mo Li were standing atop a snowy mountain peak. Goose feather snow was drifting everywhere, accompanied by gales strong enough to snap large trees. The view was vast and boundless, as if they had arrived in a Kingdom of Ice and Snow.

Beneath their feet was a Teleportation Jade Platform, its interwoven patterns radiating an ancient and mysterious aura.

Within several zhang around the Teleportation Jade Platform, the snowflakes seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, drifting away in all directions, with not a single flake landing on the platform.

Moreover, a bone-chilling coldness was ubiquitous and pervasive.

Even though both of them were Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivators, they still felt cold, the kind that made them shiver uncontrollably.

Their Magical Power circulated, and the Qi mechanisms belonging to Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivators spread out, only then largely counteracting the coldness.

”This area is very strange. If a Qi Refining Cultivator came here, they would probably be frozen into an Ice Sculpture and die here very quickly.”

Chen Zhuxiao’s expression was solemn. He scanned the surroundings; visibility was less than five meters, and even his Divine Sense was suppressed, only able to explore an area of about ten zhang.

”If my guess is correct, this place should be the Eternal Ice Plain located in the extreme north.” Mo Li radiated Hazy Colorful Light, and Lesser Yin Magical Power circulated around her, helping her resist the cold.

”The Eternal Ice Plain?”

Chen Zhuxiao frowned. This was not a good place; it was a Deadly Location and Perilous Location much harsher than the Tianli Mountain Range.

The Eastern Border of the Great Qi Cultivation Kingdom is the Tianli Mountain Range. The Southern Border is a Swamp filled with Toxins and Miasma. The Western Border connects with the so-called Western Regions. Crossing the Western Regions leads to another Cultivation Kingdom called Great Enterprise.

The Northern Border of Great Qi has six provinces: Liangzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jingzhou, Yunzhou, and Congzhou.

Liangzhou is the northernmost Major Province of Great Qi. The Barbarian Suppressing Pass is established on the Northern Border. Traveling north for several Commandery past the Barbarian Suppressing Pass will lead to the boundless Eternal Ice Plain.

The more powerful a being is, the deeper and more permanent the changes they inflict upon the world after their demise.

Legend has it that the Eternal Ice Plain was formed by the demise of an Ancient Being who practiced the Dao of Frost. It snows all year round, and fierce winds and bone-piercing cold are everywhere.

Even if a Golden Core True Monarch arrived, they would not be able to completely isolate themselves from the cold and would be affected to some extent.

The higher the Cultivation Level, the stronger the influence felt, as if the ice plains were alive and repelling powerful individuals.

”In a normal Ice Region, no matter how harsh the environment, it wouldn’t make us two Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators feel cold, except for the Eternal Ice Plain.”

Mo Li exhaled a puff of cold air and took out the glazed jade talisman from her embrace, intending to use the Nascent Soul method contained within to take them away from this place.

But she thought of the Taboo of the Eternal Ice Plain, and ultimately did not activate the jade talisman, putting it away instead.

According to Ancient Records in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the Ancient Being who perished on these ice plains was likely an Achieved Dao Practitioner who failed to contend for the dao position of Frost, fell from Beyond the Heavens, and whose Dao collapsed here.

The Dao of this Achieved Dao Practitioner is imprinted in every corner of the Eternal Ice Plain. The more powerful the being, the easier it is to trigger the revival of these dao mark.

Golden Core methods are acceptable, but if they rashly use Nascent Soul methods—power at the level of Immortals in this World—it will inevitably violate the Taboo of the Eternal Ice Plain and activate the dao mark.

If that happens, their trouble will be immense.

Afterward, Mo Li told Chen Zhuxiao all the Secrets she knew about the Eternal Ice Plain, fearing that he might not be aware and accidentally violate a Taboo.

”So that’s how it is. I understand, Miss Mo Li.”

Chen Zhuxiao nodded and tried to sense the xuan shu thunder punishment seal inside the thunder tribulation pool. Who knew this Immortal Artifact was like a Frozen Machine? No matter how he called out to it, there was no response.

If the xuan shu thunder punishment seal cannot be activated, it means they cannot start the Teleportation Array and will be trapped here.

After a moment, Chen Zhuxiao gave up. Instead, he took a Hair Strand from his embrace and infused a trace of Magical Power to activate it.

Mo Li watched this scene curiously and asked doubtfully, ”What are you doing?”

”Uncle Yuan gave it to me, telling me to activate it if I encountered danger,” Chen Zhuxiao replied.

Immediately afterward, the black Hair Strand in his hand shone brightly, detached, and transformed into a Black Ape Twelve Feet tall, radiating the Qi mechanism of the Purple Mansion level.

At the same time, Yuan Feng, who was tens of thousands of miles away, sensed this connection. The link between him and the Hair Strand became much clearer, and he transmitted a wisp of Divided Soul over.

”Zhu Xiao, where are you right now?”

Hearing the Black Ape’s question, Chen Zhuxiao asked cautiously, ”Uncle Yuan?”

”It’s me. The Hair Strand I gave you can summon my Clone. As long as I can still sense it, I can send a Divided Soul over,” the Black Ape explained.

”Uncle Yuan, Miss Mo Li and I are currently trapped in the Eternal Ice Plain. We don’t know the exact location.”

Chen Zhuxiao informed Yuan Feng of the current situation.

”The Eternal Ice Plain? It’s only been a few days, how did you end up there?”

Yuan Feng was stunned upon hearing this. He remembered the direction the two left in was toward the Tianli Mountain Range, so how did they run off to the Eternal Ice Plain?

Chen Zhuxiao and Mo Li exchanged glances. The latter gave him a look that said, ’just tell him,’ which relieved him, as he was afraid Mo Li wouldn’t let him talk about their recent experience.

”Uncle Yuan, listen to me...”

Just like that, Chen Zhuxiao recounted everything they had experienced since descending the mountain.

”...It seems the so-called Thunder Palace Ruins was also a scheme by Venerable Shu Xuan, solely to seize the Advantages of Timing, Geography, and People, to help him break through to the Nascent Soul realm. Remarkable, truly remarkable.”

After listening, Yuan Feng’s Thoughts Raced, and he sighed repeatedly in admiration.

Venerable Shu Xuan probably planned these schemes from the very beginning, linking them step by step, chain by chain, executing them perfectly.

”It seems I still need to achieve Golden Core quickly, or I won’t even know how I died,” Yuan Feng thought to himself.

The Cultivators of this world are all Deeply Scheming Individuals, who stop at nothing to attain Purple Mansion or prove the Golden Core.

As long as a person or object is useful, they can be used as a Chess Piece.

He did not want to be a Chess Piece; he wanted to be the Chess Player, Directing Affairs and stirring up the winds and clouds of the world!

”Uncle Yuan, do you have any idea?”

Lightning pulsed around Chen Zhuxiao, as if he was wearing Armor flowing with Thunder Plasma and Electric Liquid, completely blocking out the cold wind and ice snow.

”With my Speed, Traveling through the Void, it would probably still take ten days to half a month to reach the Eternal Ice Plain.”

Yuan Feng pondered; the troublesome aspect wasn’t just this place.

Great Qi Cultivators who wish to go to the Eternal Ice Plain must also obtain permission from the Barbarian Suppressing Pass.

However, as a Late-stage Purple Mansion Demon King with Four Divine Abilities, normal people would give him Face and not cause much obstruction.

”Senior Dou Zhan, you can go to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in Liyuan Commandery to find my Grandfather, Mo Youming. His Daoist Title is Lone Boat.”

At this moment, Mo Li spoke.

”That’s good too. As a Great True Person, Senior Lone Boat must have more methods.”

Yuan Feng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Although there is only one Divine Ability difference between Four Divine Abilities and Five Divine Abilities, the latter possesses all Five Methods, and the Five Divine Abilities merge with each other, subtly conforming to the meaning of the Five Elements Cycle, creating a huge gap compared to Four Divine Abilities.

Afterward, Yuan Feng instructed the two, telling them to stay put for the time being and not wander off, lest they encounter trouble they couldn’t handle.

Before long, he left Luoyun Mountain, traveled through the Void, and quickly crossed the Liyuan Plains to arrive at Liyuan Commandery City.

Without much effort, he met Mo Youming inside the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in Liyuan Commandery.

This Great True Person was sitting by the Pond, holding the White Jade Fishing Rod, leisurely fishing, completely unaware that his Granddaughter had secretly run away and was currently trapped in the Eternal Ice Plain.

Upon seeing Yuan Feng, the Great True Person’s eyes flashed with surprise: ”Good heavens, this Black Ape of yours is truly strange. How long has it been? You actually give me the feeling of facing a Great True Person of the Same Realm. Incredible.”

”Not at all, Senior Lone Boat, you flatter me.”

Yuan Feng spoke humbly.

Mo Youming looked at him deeply and asked, ”You wouldn’t visit the Three Treasures Hall without a reason. Speak, what business do you have with me?”

After hearing this, Yuan Feng didn’t rush, slowly walking to the edge of the Pond: ”Senior Lone Boat, please don’t get anxious after hearing this.”

”This old man has Cultivated His Heart and Nature for hundreds of years and recently even passed the Heart Demon Tribulation. Even if the sky falls, I won’t be alarmed.”

Mo Youming put away the White Jade Fishing Rod, stroked his Beard, and adopted an air of Immortal Grace and Daoist Bones.

”Since that’s the case, I’ll speak then.”

Thus, Yuan Feng informed the other party that Chen Zhuxiao and Mo Li had gone to explore the Ruins together but were now trapped in the Eternal Ice Plain.

Upon hearing this, Mo Youming immediately became furious, his nose flaring and eyes widening. He had only this one Precious Granddaughter, and if she perished in the Eternal Ice Plain, he feared he would go mad.

”Wait a minute, Li’er is with that Chen Zhuxiao Kid?”

Yuan Feng nodded.

Mo Youming was so angry he nearly jumped up. According to the information he had received, that Chen Zhuxiao Kid already had a Daughter.

”A grown Daughter won’t stay home! A grown Daughter won’t stay home! They’ve only known each other for so long, and her elbow is already turning outward!” Mo Youming sighed repeatedly.

Yuan Feng did not say more, afraid of agitating this Great True Person.

Although he was not afraid of the other party, the two families were very likely to become In-laws, so it was inappropriate to fight.

After venting his emotions, Mo Youming returned to his state of Immortal Grace and Daoist Bones.

”Let’s go, Dou Zhan. Be quick.”

Just like that, one person and one ape Traveled through the Void, rushing toward the location of the Extreme Northern Ice Plains.

Ten days later, they arrived at the Barbarian Suppressing Pass.

After Mo Youming presented the Golden Ten Thousand Treasures Token, the Guards of the Barbarian Suppressing Pass did not obstruct them much and let them pass.

Afterward, Yuan Feng followed the sensation of the Hair Strand and found the two in the area near the Core of the Eternal Ice Plain.

Half a month later, the three people and one ape returned to Luoyun Mountain.

Mo Li was preparing to leave with Mo Youming, but Chen Xianting clung to her. After much thought, she decided to stay on Luoyun Mountain for a while.

As for the reason, she couldn’t quite articulate it herself, perhaps staying on Luoyun Mountain was simply more comfortable than staying in Liyuan Commandery City.

Mo Youming couldn’t argue with his Granddaughter and left alone. His figure gave off the desolate feeling of a Lonely Old Man.

After Chen Zhuxiao returned, the Burden on Chen Fufeng’s shoulders lightened considerably. He prepared to go with Yuan Feng to the Qi Xuan Sect to attend the Golden Core Grand Banquet.

Three days later, Yuan Feng took Chen Fufeng and Chen Zhuhong aboard the luoyun boat and flew toward the location of the Qi Xuan Sect.
