After leaving Desolate Town, Qin Shi stopped at Scarlet Flame Imperial City. This was now the core of the Hundred Tides Region, and also where the Qin Sect of the Ninth Domain was located.
Many experts were gathered here, with the drunkard at the head. Lin Yu, Hua Ling, and the others were also here.
Seeing that Scarlet Flame was safe, Qin Shi heaved a sigh of relief. But before leaving Scarlet Flame, Qin Shi went to another place that he had always been curious about.
One of the three great forbidden areas of Scarlet Flame, the Frost Plains.
The Scarlet Flame Empire was rumored to have been one of the three forbidden areas that could not be violated since ancient times. Among the three forbidden areas, the time vortex was the most powerful. It was said that it could stop time, change reincarnation, create all things, and seize heavenly power. But now, it seemed a little absurd, as if some kind of power had leaked out. Back then, when Qin Shi first fell into a demonic trance on the night of the full moon, Qin Xue Xin had obtained the Human Emperor Demon Vanquishing Orb for him in the time vortex. No one knew what Qin Xue Xin had experienced back then, only that she had taken out the Human Emperor Demon Vanquishing Orb and given it to Qin Shi.
The second forbidden area, the Bejewelled Lava Volcano, was a 300,000-meter-deep flame cave. Qin Shi had personally been there, and it was also the first time he had heard of the Bloodthirsty Demon Venerable. It was the birthplace of the Divine Pregnant Tree. Now, the Divine Pregnant Tree protected the entire Scarlet Flame Empire, and its roots penetrated every inch of the Scarlet Flame Empire. Now, the Divine Pregnant Tree was also used by the Qin Sect, and through it, one could see the entire Scarlet Flame Empire.
And the Frost Plains was the third forbidden area, a place that no one had ever touched.
Qin Shi still remembered that when he left Scarlet Flame Empire for the second time, a mysterious force that had spread throughout the Hundred Regions of the Scarlet Flame Empire had bought this place with a huge sum of money. It was a mysterious force that Qin Shi had never been able to figure out, but it had helped Qin Shi a lot: the Gateless Auction House.
Qin Shi had been curious about the purpose of Yuan Bo's purchase of the Snow Plain.
Now that his consciousness had wandered here, he could take the opportunity to explore the Snow Plains. Qin Shi's speed was extremely fast. The Snow Plains were located in the northwest of the Scarlet Flame Empire, so Qin Shi arrived very quickly. Thousands of miles away from the Snow Plains, there were numerous towering snow-capped mountains that pierced through the clouds. The pure white snow complemented the celestial clouds, making it look like a celestial paradise, extremely dazzling and beautiful. At the same time, there was a bone-piercing coldness. Qin Shi had merely sent his consciousness here, but he could still feel the coldness that was enough to freeze his heart.
After circling around the snowy mountains, there was a boundless plain in the center of the snowy mountains. Apart from the white snow, there was no sign of life at all. Qin Shi looked down from an altitude of 10,000 meters. Even though he had seen countless grand scenes, he still couldn't help but be shocked. "Is this the snow plain of the Three Great Forbidden Areas?
It's so cold that anyone below Heaven Realm would be frozen into an ice sculpture at any moment. It's no wonder why no one dared to touch this place in Crimson Flame. "
Qin Shi took a deep breath. At this time, he hesitated for a moment, then suddenly descended at an extremely fast speed.
Bang!
But all of a sudden, when he was about to approach the snow plain, an invisible barrier spread in the air and firmly blocked his Divine Thoughts. Ripples appeared on the barrier like circles of water, which stunned Qin Shi and made him frown. "There's a barrier?
Furthermore, this barrier can actually block my Divine Sense? "
Previously, when Qin Shi went in and out of Crimson Flame Imperial City and the Qin family in Barren Town, there was also a barrier, which was the result of his many years of work. However, when he was in Mental Wander, it didn't respond to his Divine Thoughts at all. Now, the barrier on the snow plain could block him?
This made Qin Shi's face turn slightly embarrassed.
Swish!
Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the barrier at an extremely fast speed. The figure was wrapped in a black dragon robe. Undoubtedly, it was Yuan Bo.
When Yuan Bo walked out of the barrier, his expression changed slightly. But a moment later, his eyes suddenly turned and fell sharply on Qin Shi.
Qin Shi was shocked. "He, he found me?"
But after a long while, Yuan Bo's eyes narrowed a little and he shook his head.
"Phew …!
That was close! "Qin Shi let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had worried too much.
But at this moment, a big hand suddenly reached out from behind him. An extremely ancient pattern rose into the sky and suddenly set the air around Qin Shi on fire. Qin Shi's Divine Thoughts actually felt the heat. Surprised, he turned around abruptly and found a smiling face behind him. Yuan Bo said with a smile, "Haha, Lord Qin, long time no see."
"You, you can see me?" Qin Shi said in surprise.
Yuan Bo smiled and then looked up and down at Qin Shi, saying, "Mental Wander opportunity?
Haha, it seems that you've reached the Realm, right? "
Qin Shi was shocked again. Yuan Bo also knew about the Mental Wander opportunity?
"Don't be surprised, Lord Qin. I've been doing business for many years and have read a lot of ancient books. I've heard about the Mental Wander opportunity several times, but today is the first time I've seen it," Yuan Bo said with a smile.
Qin Shi squinted his eyes and said seriously, "Hoho, Boss Yuan, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Even if you know about the Mental Wander opportunity, can you explain how you can see me? "
"About that?
Hoho, this is the Spiritual Flame of Manifestation. It's a special method that can burn the air around you. The air that isn't burned is naturally protected by the willpower. In fact, I can't see you. What I can see is you made of air. But I can't forget your appearance, "Yuan Bo said with a smile.
"Spiritual Flame of Manifestation?" Qin Shi smacked his lips. Then, he squinted his eyes and suddenly looked at the Ice Plain.
"Ho Ho, Boss Yuan, why did you create such a huge commotion on the Ice and Snow Plain?"
"Hoho, Lord Qin, let me give you a piece of advice. The Mental Wander opportunity is hard to come by in a hundred years. Since you've encountered it once, why don't you go and see those you care about? Why waste your time on me?"
Yuan Bo cleverly avoided Qin Shi. He paused for a moment before he suddenly said, "Of course, you should know that everything that I have done will naturally not harm Chi Yan or the Qin Sect. Otherwise, as long as I closed one eye when the Chaotic Region acted back then, it is likely that Chi Yan would have already turned into ruins."
Qin Shi suddenly opened his eyes wide. Yuan Bo's words were really watertight, but it made him even more curious about the secret of the Ice Plain.
Qin Shi took a deep breath. Given the current situation, he naturally couldn't do anything to Yuan Bo. Finally, he smiled helplessly and nodded. "Hoho, you're right, Boss Yuan. I've offended you. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Boss Yuan to take care of Chi Yan while I'm away."
"Don't worry. Since Sect Qin and I are partners, I'm not willing to lose such a good partner unless it's absolutely necessary."
Yuan Bo smiled and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes were like the eyes of an eagle. He looked at Qin Shi and said, "Also, let me give you a word of advice. Are you at the 7,000 Sea Palace now?"
"Huh?
You know about the 7,000 Sea Palace? "
"Hoho, it's just a coincidence. I did some business with a few sea palaces there not long ago," Yuan Bo said with a smile.
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. Yuan Bo's identity was becoming more and more extraordinary.
"My young friend, I think you might encounter some mishaps in the 7,000 Sea Palace. These mishaps require an opportunity to resolve. As for what this opportunity is, you'll have to find it yourself. I can't be of much help," Yuan Bo said with a smile.
Qin Shi's face darkened slightly. His black eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well, began to ripple.
He could actually sense some disgust from Yuan Bo.
But out of politeness, Qin Shi still cupped his fists and smiled. "Hoho, thank you, Boss Yuan. I'll pay more attention to myself."
"That's for the best … In that case, I won't hold you up any longer." Yuan Bo smiled and returned to the boundary.
After Yuan Bo left, the flames around Qin Shi gradually extinguished, frozen by the cold of the Ice Plain.
Qin Shi felt an indescribable pressure as he stared at Yuan Bo's back.
"I've really underestimated this Yuan Bo. I have to be careful of him!"
Qin Shi clenched his fists. He had originally thought that Yuan Bo was a very powerful businessman. After all, the Gateless Auction House had tens of millions of years of history in the Hundred Tides Region. It was a power that existed even earlier than Chi Yan. But now, it seemed that this wasn't so simple. Yuan Bo seemed to know some huge secret, and the Ice Plain was one of them.
"Hoho, it doesn't matter. When I return to the human world, I'll definitely get to the bottom of this!" Qin Shi took a deep breath and left the Ice Plain helplessly.
Qin Shi hadn't expected to run into a wall on the Ice Plain. Fortunately, Yuan Bo hadn't exposed any of his claws to Chi Yan yet.
But what Qin Shi didn't know was that not long after leaving the Ice Plain, in the deepest part of the Ice Plain, Yuan Bo's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Hoho, it seems that time may be faster than we planned."
At this moment, a woman suddenly appeared before Yuan Bo. The woman's waist was like a weeping willow, and her brows were like wind blades. In this extremely cold place, she was only wearing a light muslin dress that could barely cover her body. She was extremely charming, and if Qin Shi was here, he would definitely be shocked by this woman.
Qin Shi had seen this woman before. Wasn't she the seductive woman from the Seductive Court? The ancient tattoo on her chest was particularly obvious.
"Well, we have to hurry. Our task is to open the seal of the Ice Plain. As for this kid, Fufeng is here, so we don't have to worry about him," Yuan Bo said with a smile.
"Good. Fate Horoscopes are rotating. It seems that the second Battle of Heaven and Earth is not far away," the woman said with a smile.
"Everything depends on that little fellow. He's not the only one bearing the Fate Horoscope. It's still uncertain who will be the final victor when the Fate Horoscope appears. If we can't be ahead of the Ape Group, then everything will be in vain."
Yuan Bo let out a long sigh and his eyes turned heavy. A golden light flickered in his eyes, as if it was an existence that could stand on the same level as the heavens and earth. When the golden light was born, even the clouds ten thousand meters in height suddenly dispersed, revealing the setting sun.
