The scenery before the three of them changed, and when it stabilized, they found themselves amidst a world of ice and snow.
The cold wind howled, accompanied by a wild snowstorm, as if it were a carving knife intent on reshaping the heaven and earth.
Mountain ranges stretched endlessly, all draped in a coat of silver.
“This place, could it be very close to the Chaotic Borderland?” murmured Feng Wanli.
The Chaotic Borderland was the border between the Southern Domain and the Central Continent, where both time and space were in turmoil, hence its name.
Even a Heavenly Immortal wouldn’t dare to venture recklessly into such a place —you could easily get lost in it!
This was also why there was so little traffic between the Southern Domain and the Central Continent—it was just too difficult to traverse!
“Taoist Friend Feng is correct, a few hundred thousand miles further north and we will reach the edge of the Chaotic Borderland,” said Ye Chenfeng with a smile.
“We’re not really heading into the Chaotic Borderland, are we?” Feng Wanli was taken aback; he didn’t dare to venture into such a place.
Besides, he didn’t even have a physical body right now.
Ye Chenfeng shook his head, “Of course not, follow me.”
With that, he took to the air and flew northward.
Feng Wanli’s face was full of suspicion. Flying further north? Didn’t you say that just several hundred thousand miles to the north was the Chaotic Borderland?
Despite his confusion, he followed immediately.
Li Cheng also followed, asking, “How far is this place from the Taoist Mysterious Sect?”
“I’ve been here several times. The first time I came, I was curious, so I flew continuously south and it took me more than three years to return to the heart of the Southern Domain. Therefore, the distance from here to the Taoist Mysterious Sect is probably less than two hundred million miles,” explained Ye Chenfeng.
Li Cheng inwardly clicked his tongue in amazement. This was considered the edge of the Southern Domain, nearly two hundred million miles to fly to the central area? The Southern Domain was…
Intimidatingly vast, considering that the Earth is only about ninety-three million miles from the Sun.
However, upon reconsideration, if one were to use the Immortal Spirit Step at full speed, with each step covering twelve thousand nine hundred miles, a thousand steps would amount to over one hundred twenty million miles. It would take less than two thousand steps to return to the Taoist Mysterious Sect.
In that sense, it wasn’t that far.
Feng Wanli chuckled, “Our Southern Domain is actually not that big, but the Central Continent—they’re truly vast and boundless. And the Immortal World is even larger.”
“You’ve been to the Central Continent?” Li Cheng queried with curiosity, and Ye Chenfeng looked on interestedly.
Feng Wanli hastily shook his head, “No, haven’t you read about it in the books?”
“Compared to the Central Continent, our Southern Domain is just a remote speck of land. It’s said that the Central Continent is rich in nature’s spiritual energy and abundant in resources…”
“Enough of that, you’ve only read about it in books, you talk as if you’ve been there yourself,” Li Cheng interrupted Feng Wanli.
Yet, Li Cheng’s thoughts were racing, according to the texts, the Kunlun Realm was a major world that had existed for many eras. In the last era, one didn’t even need to undergo Tribulation Crossing to ascend, and could easily cultivate to become an Immortal Emperor or even higher.
Such a major world must certainly be hiding many secrets unknown to the present day.
If one could find ruins from the previous era, it’s possible they might uncover astounding treasures.
“We’re here, right at this spot. Be careful once we go in; there are many Demon Beasts and Formations,” the leading Ye Chenfeng said as he stopped in front of a withered stump, starting to speak.
The stump was over ten meters tall and equally wide. At that moment, Ye Chenfeng’s gaze was fixed on the two-meter-high hollow in the stump.
Inside the hollow was pitch black, utterly void of any spatial fluctuations, which puzzled Li Cheng.
But Ye Chenfeng had already taken the lead and walked into it, his figure seemingly swallowed by the darkness.
Li Cheng and Feng Wanli followed suit.
Walking through the hollow for more than a hundred meters, it seemed they should have passed through the stump, but that wasn’t the case; clearly, there was some mysterious magic at work here.
The next moment, the view suddenly opened up, and what met their eyes was a valley brimming with the essence of spring!
The valley is not large; the entrance two miles away can be seen at a glance, and through the entrance, one can see the mountain ranges stretching into the distance.
Behind them is a cave, connected to the previously encountered tree hole.
“Is this some kind of Peach Blossom Spring tale?” Li Cheng muttered to himself in astonishment.
“The spiritual energy of nature here is so rich; it’s probably ten times denser than the outside world, and there’s even Immortal Qi lingering within. It’s practically like the Immortal World!” Feng Wanli exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Chenfeng and Li Cheng both turned to look at Feng Wanli, “Is the Immortal World really like this?”
“Quite similar!” Feng Wanli affirmed with certainty.
“This place might not be the so-called ancient battlefield, but it is indeed an Ancient Ruins. There are no lack of such places in the Kunlun Realm!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan conveyed telepathically.
“Ancient Ruins?”
Li Cheng wondered internally, remnants of the ancient world left behind?
After pondering for a few seconds, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan transmitted again, “You are now a Heavenly Immortal; sooner or later you will come across these things, so it’s no harm telling you. The Kunlun Realm contains many places that are hidden by folded space, almost all remnants of a bygone era!”
“Such places may harbor living beings; others may only contain natural treasures without any living beings, or they could be entirely filled with Dead Spirits.”
“These places will inevitably appear in the world when the folded space unfolds, and by that time, whether it’s a blessing or a curse is hard to say!”
Hearing the words of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, Li Cheng suddenly felt that when that time comes, it would probably be like the era of spiritual energy revival described in novels.
Nodding slightly, Li Cheng said, “If that’s the case, then what Feng Wanli said is correct. The Kunlun Realm is indeed very profound!”
The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan chuckled, “Naturally, ten thousand years ago, all Immortal Emperors thought that Grand Venerable Bai Jie was synonymous with invincibility, but who could have imagined, heh heh…”
He did not continue, but Li Cheng’s curiosity was piqued.
In the entire Kunlun Realm, who doesn’t know of Grand Venerable Bai Jie’s great name?
Countless cultivators look up to him as their idol, but from what Immortal Emperor Tianyuan implies, could it be that Grand Venerable Bai Jie is not the strongest in the Kunlun Realm?
“Senior, please continue!” Li Cheng urged.
“It is enough for you to know about the existence of the Ancient Ruins. Don’t ask too much. There are many demon beasts here; you all need to be careful.” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan finished speaking and then became silent.
Feng Wanli and his companion naturally did not know that Li Cheng was communicating with Immortal Emperor Tianyuan. At that moment, both were assessing the valley before them.
“My Immortal Sense is being greatly suppressed. Even in the Immortal World, I wasn’t suppressed to this extent, which is enough to show that the stability of the space here is even stronger than in the Immortal World!” Feng Wanli was incessantly amazed.
When it came to the Immortal World, the two had no choice but to listen to Feng Wanli boasting.
A gleam of joy suddenly flashed in Feng Wanli’s eyes, “I thought I’d have to return to the Immortal World to have a chance to rebuild my physical body, but since this place is similar to the Immortal World, then I have a complete opportunity to rebuild my body here!”
Saying so, Feng Wanli turned to look at Li Cheng, “Li Cheng, I’m relying on you now, heh heh.”
Li Cheng released his Immortal Sense, indeed, outside it could envelop an area of fifty thousand miles, but here, it was halved!
This wasn’t bad news, rather, it was good news!
It was equivalent to arriving in the Immortal World, just without the baptism.
Li Cheng suddenly thought that Grand Venerable Bai Jie must have also found some Ancient Ruins somewhere, which was why he had become so powerful!
And during the ten thousand years of his disappearance, could it be that he went back to the Ancient Ruins he had discovered?
The likelihood was high!
“Exiting the valley and moving forward for fifty thousand miles, there’s a ruined city. Those three items were brought from that ruined city,” Ye Chenfeng looked at Li Cheng.
Li Cheng nodded, “Within the range of my senses, there are many powerful demon beasts, as well as some Natural Arrays. This place is indeed dangerous, as you said.”
In response to Li Cheng’s comment, Feng Wanli scoffed, “With you here, dangerous? Doesn’t seem appropriate to say, does it?”
