"Who was that Lord just now?
How awe-inspiring! "A tall and thin Youth attendant looked at the top of the golden peak and asked excitedly.
"Brother Sun, you've just been transferred to the Ling Xu Palace, so it's normal that you don't know.
That Lord is Xu Yunping, the fifth disciple of Venerable Ling Xu, "said an older, square-faced attendant next to him.
"Lord Xu's cultivation base is getting more and more powerful," murmured another attendant with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"I heard that Lord Xu has been practicing in seclusion, trying to break through the bottleneck of the Middle-stage of Primordial Immortal.
Now that he has come out of seclusion, he should have successfully broken through, but it seems that his realm has not been completely stabilized. Otherwise, there would be no leakage of spiritual pressure, "said the square-faced attendant.
"I heard that Lord Xu has only been a disciple of Venerable Ling Xu for hundreds of thousands of years, but he has already cultivated to the Middle-stage of Primordial Immortal. If we can have one percent of his aptitude, we won't be trapped in the current realm," said the thick-browed attendant with a sigh.
"Lord Xu is a cultivator who ascended from the lower realm. His potential is unmatched by ordinary people. He's second to none among the disciples of Venerable Ling Xu. How can we compare with him?" The square-faced attendant said with a self-deprecating laugh.
The few of them talked loudly for a while and then continued to busy themselves.
The white rainbow landed in front of the main hall on the top of the giant peak. As the light faded away, it transformed into the figure of a Youth wearing a golden robe and a golden crown.
This man had handsome facial features, sword-like eyebrows, and starry eyes. Wherever his eyes landed, he gave off a sharp temperament.
On both sides of the main hall stood a golden-armored guard, holding a sword and a saber. The skin on his face had a metallic luster.
"Is Master inside?" The golden-robed Youth asked one of the golden-armored guards.
"Venerable Ling Xu is inside," replied the golden-armored guard.
The golden-robed Youth nodded and stepped through the gate. After passing through several corridors, he came to a side hall.
The hall was empty except for a silver platform in the deepest part of the hall. A golden seat was placed on top of it.
A middle-aged man dressed in a purple robe was sitting cross-legged on a seat. This person had dark skin, a square face, and a wide nose. He gave off an extremely dignified feeling.
At that moment, the man's eyes were tightly closed, and his body gave off a purple light. A faint purple mist covered the area several dozen meters around him.
The entire hall was enveloped by a strange power. As this person breathed, the purple mist trembled slightly, and the space within the hall buzzed and trembled. It was as if everything within the hall was under his control.
When the golden-robed Youth saw the current situation of the purple-robed middle-aged man, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said softly, "Disciple Xu Yunping greets Master."
The eyes of the purple-robed middle-aged man trembled slightly. When he opened his eyes, two rays of lightning-like crystal light shot out and looked at the golden-robed Youth.
The golden-robed Youth's face suddenly turned pale and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Yunping is here. What's the matter?" The light in the purple-robed middle-aged man's eyes quickly dissipated and his aura also retracted.
The golden-robed Youth relaxed and quickly reported, "Master, disciple has received news from the Northern Frost Celestial Palace. Palace Lord Xiao Jinhan led his disciples to explore the Netherfrost Celestial Palace and suffered heavy losses. Almost the entire army was wiped out. Xiao Jinhan and several Golden Immortal elders all died."
"Oh, there's such a thing. I remember that Xiao Jinhan was a peak Golden Immortal.
Did you find out how he died? "The purple-robed middle-aged man's expression didn't change at all as he slowly asked.
"After I received the news, I immediately looked into it. However, there were only a few people who made it out alive from the Netherfrost Celestial Palace, and we don't know the specifics.
However, Xiao Jinhan has been trying to unify the Northern Frost Celestial Realm and his relationship with the other major forces in the Northern Frost Celestial Realm is very stiff. His death should be related to those major forces, "the golden-robed Youth said after a pause.
"I've heard about Xiao Jinhan's matter before. He acted a bit impulsively, but those sects are also extremely bold. They even dared to attack the Palace Lord sent by the Heavenly Court.
Immediately send people into the Northern Frost Celestial Realm to thoroughly investigate this matter. If it's true, kill all those involved.
The dignity of the Heavenly Court is not to be offended! "The purple-robed middle-aged man heard this and a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes.
I've already sent people to the Northern Frost Celestial Realm to investigate this matter. I believe there will be results soon. "The golden-robed Youth cupped his hands and said.
"Yes, you must investigate this matter thoroughly," the purple-robed middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
However, Master, I have another news to report to you. "The golden-robed Youth agreed and then said.
"What else?" The purple-robed middle-aged man asked.
"This time, when the Netherfrost Celestial Palace opened, I heard that Immortal Emissary Gongshu of the Immortal Prison also entered to pursue a criminal from the Samsara Palace. In the end, Immortal Emissary Gongshu also died inside," the golden-robed Youth said after a slight hesitation.
Could it be that Gongshu Jiu of the Gongshu Family? "The purple-robed middle-aged man raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Yes, that's him," the golden-robed Youth said.
"Although Gongshu Jiu's strength is not outstanding among the Immortal Emissaries, he is after all a Taiyi Jade Celestial. There should be no one in the Northern Frost Celestial Realm who can kill him.
Is it the work of the Samsara Palace? "The purple-robed middle-aged man stood up and asked.
"I'm not sure about this. However, if the Samsara Palace sent people of the Taiyi Realm into the Northern Frost Celestial Realm, we should know about it. Do you want me to send someone to investigate this matter?" The golden-robed Youth shook his head and said.
"There's no need for that. The Immortal Prison has always acted independently. If their people are dead, they will investigate it themselves. There's no need for us to intervene," the purple-robed middle-aged man said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes," the golden-robed Youth replied.
"You've handled this matter well.
The Northern Frost Celestial Realm is under my jurisdiction. There can be no mistakes. Go and arrange for the new Palace Lord of the Northern Frost Celestial Realm as soon as possible, "the purple-robed middle-aged man said after a slight pause.
"Yes," the golden-robed Youth replied again and walked out quickly.
"The Northern Frost Celestial Realm … The Northern Frost Celestial Realm …" the purple-robed middle-aged man muttered to himself as he paced back and forth in the hall.
After a while, he suddenly stood still. His body flashed with a purple light, and his figure disappeared from the hall.
There was a vast continent in the southwest of the Shang Ah Continent. It was called the Wasteland Continent.
The eastern part of this continent was a hilly area with undulating mountains. It was covered with dense forests and smog, and there were few cities.
Tens of thousands of miles inland from the east coast, there was a precipitous cliff that was more than a thousand feet high. It stretched for millions of miles, stretching from north to south in the eastern part of the continent.
It was obviously the same continent, but it was as if it had been cut into two by a knife from God. On the precipitous cliff was a vast green oasis, and below the precipitous cliff was thousands of miles of yellow sand.
On the precipitous cliff that separated the two worlds, there was a Great Wall that looked like a black dragon crawling on the ground. There was a pass every ten thousand miles, and it was full of enchantments. There was also a formation that was used to transmit beacons.
Even though there were many passes and countless beacons, there was only one city at the border: Yuanhuang City.
It was close to evening, and the orange-red sun had already set over the city wall. The warm light extended from the horizon, shining on the black city wall and plated the cold black steel rock with a layer of gentle light.
On the west side of the city wall, there was a sea of sand that was thousands of miles below the precipitous cliff. In the dusk, there was a dark golden light. Other than the dust that would be stirred up by the breeze, there was no other movement.
Conversely, on the other side of the city wall stood an enormous city that occupied an area of almost 500km. Streets and alleys crisscrossed within it while courtyards stood like trees in a forest. Even though it wasn't dark yet, lanterns had already been lit up everywhere, causing the entire city to be brightly illuminated.
Due to the sheer size of the city, apart from the inner city which was located in the center which was slightly neatly planned, the outer city seemed to have been expanded along the original main road of the city towards the east. It was spread out in the shape of a fan and there was no order to it at all.
At this time, on the ancient green brick road that led to the outer city, there were two figures, one tall and one short, walking slowly together.
The shorter one was a little girl wearing a festive short jacket with golden edges and red bottom. She looked to be eight or nine years old and looked very pink. She held three skewers of candied haws in her hands, swaying as she followed beside the tall man beside her.
The tall man was wearing a green robe. His aura was restrained, and his eyes were bright and full of expression.
And with every step he took, the little girl in the red jacket, who had a small braid on her head swaying three times, was naturally Jin Tong.
The first stop on the map that Jiao San gave him was the same location as the one that Taoist Huyan told him, which was the Yuanhuang City. Han Li planned to find out more information after arriving here, and then decide how to arrange the trip to the Barbarian World.
"Uncle, can't you suppress your realm? Why do you have to make me suppress my realm too?" Jin Tong asked in confusion while eating the sweet and sour candied haws.
"You are already at the Late-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm. Your aura is too strong, and it will be too conspicuous when you walk in the crowd. It will easily attract attention." Han Li looked at the edge of the city in the distance and replied.
It would be best if a few more bold Golden Immortals came to provoke us, and I can take care of them all. This way, I can save a lot of Dharma treasures as snacks. Recently, I have been feeling hungry, "Jin Tong said excitedly.
"Our top priority is to leave the Beihan Celestial Realm.
You can't cause any more trouble, or you can turn into a ring and stay on my hand. Don't follow me in your human form, "Han Li stopped and said seriously.
I know, I know, I was just saying … "Jin Tong shook his head and muttered.
