Ye Dingzhi looked at the endless snow and ice outside the carriage and asked calmly.
“Yes, Master. Further ahead lies Langyue Blessed Land, where my father is. It’s an even more terrifying ice field than here. Even the bravest horse would hesitate to go there. We can only travel on foot,” Yueqing explained.
At this moment, Yueqing suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.
Ye Dingzhi asked, "What's wrong?"
Yueqing said softly, "The Envoy of No Form."
Ye Dingzhi reached out and pulled back the curtain of the carriage, looking at the two people standing not far away.
A middle-aged man with a refined appearance sat in a wooden wheelchair, looking at them. Beside him stood a young boy holding a large bamboo umbrella, shielding the middle-aged man from the wind and snow.
Yueqing said softly, "This is the Venerable Envoy Wuxiang, who is also the person in charge of the Outer Heaven today."
The Envoy of No Form slowly approached the crowd, looking at Ye Dingzhi and Yue Qing in the carriage with a surprised and uncertain expression.
He had heard about Ye Dingzhi's attempt to abduct a bride in Tianqi City some time ago.
The strength Ye Dingzhi displayed was simply unfathomable.
He had originally planned to abandon his plan to use Ye Dingzhi to rescue the cult leader.
Unexpectedly, Ye Dingzhi has actually come to this far north place on his own!
What shocked him even more was Yueqing's current state.
Judging from the aura emanating from Yueqing, her strength has at least reached the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm.
It should be noted that although Yueqing's talent for cultivation was quite good, half a year ago, Yueqing's strength was only at the Free and Easy Realm, a whole major realm away from the Unfettered Heaven Realm!
In just six months, he had already entered the realm of carefree bliss.
but.
What Wu Xiangshi didn't know was...
Yueqing's strength has not made any breakthroughs all this time.
He only broke through to the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm a few days ago by a twist of fate.
Ye Dingzhi's Yin-Yang Demon Art is a top-tier dual cultivation method, which not only allows one to absorb Yin to replenish Yang, but also to nourish the other person in return.
Only then did Yueqing step into the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm.
"The Unseen Envoy awaits Young Master Ye's arrival here," the Unseen Envoy said in a deep voice.
Ye Dingzhi nodded slightly.
Yueqing said, "Your Excellency, the reason I brought my master here this time is to go to Langyue Blessed Land."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiang Shi thought to himself, "Indeed, that is so."
Rumor has it that Ye Dingzhi possesses a method to control people's minds, and Yueqing lost contact with him completely half a year ago.
It seems that Ye Dingzhi had controlled his mind.
Wu Xiang sighed inwardly, but remained outwardly calm, saying, "The journey to Langyue Blessed Land is fraught with danger, so please be careful."
Yueqing nodded, then turned and left with Ye Dingzhi.
In the midst of a blizzard.
On the vast, icy plain, Ye Dingzhi and Yue Qing continued their journey forward.
He had once been to the northernmost wilderness of the Northern Barbarians, where towering icebergs separated this world from the world beyond the icebergs, and it was an extremely harsh place. But even there, nothing was more terrifying than this wilderness.
Ye Dingzhi and Yue Qing had been walking for an unknown amount of time.
This ice field is like ice that has been frozen for thousands of years, extremely cold.
Even though Yueqing is now at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, she is already finding it difficult to walk in such a fierce wind and snow.
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Yueqing stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Ye Dingzhi raised his hand and embraced Yueqing's slender waist, simultaneously extending his palm and channeling his inner energy into Yueqing's body.
After a while, Yueqing felt Ye Dingzhi's internal energy enter her body, like a warm current flowing through her body, and finally felt more comfortable speaking.
"Thank you, Master!"
"No one can get out of this ice field; it seems to have no end."
"Langyue Blessed Land is the limit that everyone can reach. If you stay here for even a moment, the blood in your body will freeze."
Ye Dingzhi, however, seemed unfazed. He asked indifferently, "Why did your sect leader choose to cultivate in such a place?"
Yueqing explained, "Father said that cultivating in such a place would allow him to constantly remember the pain of losing his country. However, I (Zhao Nuo) guess he must have other reasons."
Several more hours passed.
Finally, a building covered in ice and snow appeared before Ye Dingzhi's eyes.
"Langyue Blessed Land." Ye Dingzhi looked up at the four characters above and said quietly.
"We've arrived," Yueqing said softly. "This gate weighs several thousand kilograms. To prevent us from disturbing it, Father set up a restriction inside the gate. Unless someone with a natural martial vein injects their spiritual power into it, the stone gate cannot be opened from the outside."
"But in reality, my father wanted to... absorb the internal energy of people with innate martial veins in order to break through the tenth level of the Void Thought Technique."
"Master, please be extra careful!"
Ye Dingzhi nodded slightly, slowly walked forward, placed his hand on the door, and then activated his Virtual Mind Technique.
"Boom!!!"
moment.
There was a noise.
The stone door trembled violently, shaking off countless snowflakes. Startled, Yue Qing took a step back, as did Ye Dingzhi. The stone door slowly lifted, and a decaying yet warm aura flowed out from within the cave. Ye Dingzhi looked inside and saw rows of bookshelves filled with ancient books. The cave walls were inlaid with luminous pearls, making the entire cave exceptionally bright and clear.
As Ye Dingzhi stepped inside, he immediately sensed the unique nature of this Langyue Blessed Land.
"This Langyue Blessed Land truly lives up to its name; it is indeed a blessed land. There must be geothermal springs flowing through it underground, so even though it is freezing cold outside, this little world is warm as spring."
soon.
Ye Dingzhi and Yue Qing then arrived at the depths of the Yue Lang Blessed Land.
On a couch in the cabinet, a gaunt middle-aged man sat cross-legged, his eyes closed and his breathing even, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
The figure, dressed in a yellow robe and with long, white hair, was none other than Yue Fengcheng, the sect master of the Outer Heavens Sect.
Chapter 51: Dark Qi Presses Down on the City, Blood Fills the Air, Brothers Are Made Under the Emperor's Banner!
Yueqing walked over and softly called out, "Father..."
Yuefeng City remained asleep and did not respond to him.
Yue Qing extended a finger and probed under Yue Fengcheng's nose. Although his breathing was very weak, it was also very calm.
Ye Dingzhi asked calmly, "Just how many years has it been since you last saw him? You were even worried he was dead?"
"It has indeed been many years," Yueqing said with emotion, looking at her father. "Perhaps he wouldn't even recognize me if he saw me."
“Father, you must have entered a meditative state of the Void Thought Technique.” Yueqing called softly, “Father, Qing’er has come to see you.”
There was a bang.
The outer stone door suddenly slammed shut.
At that moment, Yue Fengcheng suddenly opened his eyes. But those eyes were an eerie golden yellow!
"Who...are you?!" He reached out and grabbed Yueqing by the throat.
His pupils were golden, a clear sign of demonic possession.
Ye Dingzhi's expression turned cold, and he suddenly unleashed several streaks of blood-black malevolent energy.
Yuefeng City also unleashed a burst of internal energy to form a protective shield.
The streaks of blood-black malevolent energy rained down like a shower of flowers, and upon contact with the protective barrier of Yuefeng City, they produced a series of crackling sounds, like popping beans.
As the sound was heard, Yue Fengcheng's originally smooth and solid protective shield was clearly dented and uneven, and Yue Fengcheng's figure was forced to retreat continuously, his right hand involuntarily releasing Yue Qing.
"what?!"
When Yue Fengcheng saw that his opponent had forced him to retreat so quickly with a single move, he was utterly horrified.
What shocked him even more was that the aura emanating from this person was the innate martial vein that he had been searching for!
Or perhaps it's the innate martial vein that cultivated the Void Thought Technique!
"who are you?!"
Yue Qing had been coughing ever since Yue Fengcheng released her. Now that she had caught her breath, she hurriedly said, "Father, it's me, Qing'er."
"Is that Qing'er?" Yue Fengcheng turned his head and stared at her with those somewhat frightening eyes.
Father and daughter were reunited after a long separation, but Yueqing felt no joy or emotion, only an uncontrollable fear. She took a step back and said, "Yes, Father."
"Are you afraid of me now?" Yue Fengcheng asked calmly.
Yueqing hurriedly shook her head: "No, Father."
“No, you fear me, but there’s nothing I can do about it,” Yue Fengcheng said in a deep voice. “I have already stepped halfway into the ninth level of the Void Thought Technique. Now, everything that sees me will feel a natural fear, an uncontrollable fear that comes from within. If you do not disturb me, I will break through to the ninth level within half a year.”
"You're just afraid of me." Yue Fengcheng revealed a strange smile: "But there's nothing I can do. I've already stepped into the ninth level of the Void Thought Technique. Now, every living being in the world feels an irresistible and heartfelt fear when they see me."
"Qing'er, you are such a good child, you have brought me such delicious food."
talking.
Yue Fengcheng turned to look at Ye Dingzhi, a strange smile on his face.
"food.......?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Dingzhi chuckled softly, and his demonic energy gradually spread throughout his body.
Yue Fengcheng, however, did not notice anything unusual and simply said to himself, "I never thought that there would be anyone else in the world besides me who cultivates the Void Thought Technique."
"You're so young, yet you've already cultivated to such a level..."
After experiencing it, Yue Fengcheng's expression instantly turned to extreme horror.
"How can it be!!!"
"How come you're already on the eighth floor, just like me?!"
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
Yuefeng City simply couldn't believe that there was such a genius in the world!
He cultivated for decades or even centuries, to the point of going mad from his cultivation.
He had only just entered the eighth level, but now, the person in front of him, who looked to be under twenty, had already reached the same level as him!
How could he possibly accept this?!
But then.
Yue Fengcheng burst into laughter again.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Today, if I absorb your cultivation technique, I will become the truly invincible person in this world!"
Yueqing watched this scene with a tense expression.
This is what happens when someone goes astray in their cultivation; their emotions are amplified to the extreme, and they lose all reason.
"Master, please be careful!" Yueqing said worriedly.
Upon hearing this, Yue Fengcheng was momentarily stunned.
"Owner?"
Yue Fengcheng looked at Yue Qing, his expression grim, and said, "What exactly is your relationship with him?!"
Yueqing said in a deep voice, "He is my master."
"Very well, very well!" Yue Fengcheng said coldly, "She truly is my good daughter!"
Then, Yue Fengcheng turned and stared intently at Ye Dingzhi: "Young man, you're playing with fire and getting burned!"
Ye Dingzhi chuckled lightly: "He's nothing but a homeless dog from a fallen country, yet he speaks with such arrogance."
These words instantly stung Yue Fengcheng deeply.
