South of the Frost Empire, the Illusory Snow Forest.
A thick white fog covered the sky above the forest, and a thick layer of snow covered the trees and the ground. A few sharp white beams of light shone down from the gaps between the clouds in the sky, reflecting on the snow. Not long ago, the howling wind and snow suddenly stopped.
Two figures slowly walked out from the depths of the forest. The one in front was dressed in a silver-white robe with pale grey embroidery on the chest of the robe. The robe accentuated his tall and straight figure, giving him an elegant and noble temperament. Behind him was a youth in black. His hands were behind his head as if nothing had happened. He had a grass stick in his mouth, his eyes looking around aimlessly.
"Hey, I say, what are we doing in this godforsaken place?" After walking for a while, Di Zangchuan finally couldn't help but ask.
Lian Guang didn't even turn his head as he said indifferently, "To retrieve the Frost Empire's Water God's Tear."
"Why not retrieve the Earth God's Divine Rock Empire's Dragonrock Armor first?
Rushing over in such a hurry, do you think the Frost Empire's Water God's Tear will run away? "Di Zangchuan faintly curled his lips.
Lian Guang's body paused for a moment, and Di Zangchuan behind him couldn't help but stop as well. Lian Guang raised his head to look at the sky. The white fog above the mountain forest was a blur. Lian Guang looked for a while before slowly retracting his gaze and saying in a low voice, "Because the Water God's Tear is a key to entering the Snow Domain."
Di Zangchuan's pupils contracted slightly, his voice trembling as he said, "You're saying, you're preparing to go to the Snow Domain?
Do you know what kind of place that is? That's a space created by the Water God. The level of danger inside is so high that only the three monsters from the first three seals can hope to explore it. If we go, we'll just be sending ourselves to our deaths! "
Lian Guang once again took a step forward, his indifferent voice floating behind him, "That's why I said that we need to hurry and obtain the Water God's Tear. With this key, it'll be easier to travel through the Snow Domain. When the time comes, you can choose to go to the Divine Rock Empire to obtain the Dragonrock Armor. I'll go alone."
Ksitigarbha shook his head like a rattle drum, "What kind of joke is this? Lord Earth Core Sovereign told me that once I find you, I must not leave your side. Otherwise … I wouldn't dare to try."
Lian Guang's lips curled up. "You should know that with your insignificant strength, going to the Snow Region will only result in your death. Although you have the Sky Regicide Dagger, it won't be of much use in that place."
Di Zang Chuan smiled bitterly. He shook his head and sighed. "I know that, but what can I do? Do me a favor and don't go to that damned place. Otherwise, my little life will be buried with you. You're fine, but you're eating arsenic for no reason. Are you tired of living?"
"You should know that the corpse of the Radiant Goddess is buried there. If you can obtain the corpse of the Radiant Goddess and devour it … You should know."
"Of course I know that, but I need to be alive to devour it. But the Radiant Goddess must have her own plans to bury the corpse there. Perhaps there are some guards. You should know that the guards of the Radiant Goddess are terrifyingly strong. Can we do it?"
"How would we know if we don't try?" Lian Guang's lips curled up in a devilish arc, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Di Zang Chuan did not see that his face had turned bitter, like a bitter gourd.
… …
Outside the [Light Palace].
Ye Zhu was dressed in a white gauze robe, standing at the edge of the cliff. The biting cold mountain peak whistled up from the deep valley of the cliff, causing her robe to flutter in the wind.
She gazed into the distance and muttered to herself, "I saw the news last time. My brother now has the strength comparable to the Lord of the Light Palace. He should be safe enough in the ancient continent. I hope he doesn't encounter those monsters that have intruded into the world... However, if my brother awakens, the people who should be afraid should be those people, right?" The corners of her mouth curled upwards.
At this time, suddenly, there were several "swoosh swoosh swoosh" sounds from the Void behind her. They appeared behind her, standing as straight as nails. There were thirteen figures, led by the Lord of the Light Palace. Behind her, there were twelve people dressed in white robes, with a golden sun pattern embroidered on their chests.
This pattern in the [Light Palace] represented the First Elder Group!
When the First Elder Group was mentioned, in the hundreds of civilizations controlled by the [Light Palace], countless people would feel reverence in their hearts. It was like a god three feet above their heads, because those who could enter the First Elder Group were all unparalleled experts with strength that could dominate the world!
For countless years, the number of people in the First Elder Group had never exceeded thirty. In the most prosperous period of history, there were only twenty-eight people!
As for the other Elder Group, such as the Second Elder Group, they specially recruited experts who had made great contributions to the [Light Palace] and whose strength had reached the half-step to the Epoch Realm. There were close to two hundred members, and ninety-nine percent of the masters of the hundreds of civilizations controlled by the [Light Palace] were members of this Elder Group.
And the First Elder Group had always existed like a god.
No one could order the people inside, not even the Lord of the Light Palace.
Only by gathering all the Elder Group, as well as all the members of the First Elder Group, could they finally decide on the most suitable plan.
At this moment, the twelve people in the First Elder Group, there were young, old, men, and women. They all looked at Ye Zhu, who was at the edge of the cliff, with infinite respect.
They had seen her exquisite facial features countless times. Even if they were blind, they would know that she was the Goddess of Light. Even though the Lord of the Light Palace had warned them before they came that Ye Zhu was only the Envoy of Light, and that they must not remember wrongly.
But when they saw Ye Zhu's appearance, they still felt shock and an instinctive respect that came from the bottom of their hearts.
"Lord Envoy."
The Lord of the Light Palace said respectfully. "This time, when you go to the 'Snow Domain' to search for the corpse of the Goddess of Light, I have specially sent the strongest experts of the [First Elder Group], from the first to the twelfth, including myself, to follow you to the 'Snow Domain'."
Ye Zhu turned around and looked at the twelve white-robed figures. She said softly, "There's no need for so many people to go. Recently, many experts have entered the ancient world. You stay here and protect the foundation of the [Light Palace]. As for the rest, the top three people, just follow me."
The Goddess of Light could not help but say, "That 'Snow Domain' is too dangerous. How can you only bring three people there? If you encounter ferocious snow beasts, it will be hard to defend against them."
Ye Zhu looked at her. "Don't tell me that you will be able to defend against them?"
The Goddess of Light bit her lower lip. She knew that what she said was right. If even the current Ye Zhu could not defend against them, they would be killed instantly if they went. She lowered her head and said heavily, "I know that even if we go, we will not be of much help to you. But, if we encounter snow beasts, or some unknown dangerous area... we can help you open up a path, or help you restrain the snow beasts."
Ye Zhu's pupils contracted slightly.
The twelve white-robed figures lowered their heads and said sincerely, "Lord Envoy, we are willing to follow you to the Snow Domain to search for the corpse of the Goddess of Light. We are willing to sacrifice ourselves and become the stones under your feet. As long as you have a higher chance of finding the corpse of the Goddess of Light, we will not hesitate to do anything!"
His voice was firm and passionate, as if it was burning the biting cold wind until it was boiling hot.
Ye Zhu's body trembled slightly. She lowered her head and gently bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth. After a long time, her fingers relaxed and she turned her head to look at the clouds outside the cliff. Her cold and unquestionable voice rang out, "I've said it before, three people are enough!"
...
Dragon Armor Mountain Range, in the forest.
Boom boom boom...
Like a bomber, the sound of explosions blasted out in a straight line into the distance. It was as if an invisible giant was running in a straight line. Huge pits with high yellow dust splashed out from the ground. From the flying dust, one could vaguely see two figures exchanging blows at the speed of light. Their figures were so fast that they were blurry, making it hard for one to see them clearly.
Boom —
With a violent tremor, the ground around them caved in deeply. Then, the swirling dust slowly parted, revealing the figures of the Ten Pavilions Spiritual Master and the Ghost Slave of the Six Paths. The black robe on the Ghost Slave of the Six Paths had disappeared. It had been reduced to dust during the intense battle. His entire body was covered in a human-shaped black fog.
Spiritual Master Ten Pavilions' expression was still indifferent. His sharp black eyebrows were slightly furrowed with a hint of disdain and unruliness. He raised his chin slightly and his fist collided with Ghost Slave of the Six Paths. It was as if they were frozen in time. After a while, the two of them suddenly retreated.
"You have some strength."
The Daoist Master of the Ten Pavilions licked his lips and looked at the Ghost Slave of the Six Paths. "It seems that we have to use this. Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with him." As he said that, his eyes suddenly turned green, as if there was a spiritual light shining in them.
The rolling black fog on Ghost Slave of the Six Paths became hurried and uneasy. He said coldly, "I heard that the Realm of Truth was very powerful. Today, I see that it is just so-so."
The six white halos on his head suddenly brightened. Like six rotating halos, they flew out of his body and floated in the air.
The six rotating halos gradually grew larger. Each of them was as tall as a person.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation!"
A hoarse and low voice said with a sharp chill. A pitch-black light flashed out of the void surrounded by the six halos. It seemed to have shot out of thin air and formed a black vortex.
A strong suction force was emitted from the black vortex. The nearby broken trees, soil, and stones on the ground were all detached from the ground and suddenly flew into the black vortex. They penetrated it and then disappeared, as if they were being swallowed by a ferocious mouth.
The land within a range of a hundred thousand kilometers was shaking violently, as if it was suffering from great fear.
