Half a month later, Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu finally returned to China and arrived at the legendary place of ascension to immortality—Kunlun Mountain.

The icebergs in Antarctica that have remained frozen for thousands of years are even more spectacular than those in the Arctic, and there are also cute, chubby little penguins. Ye Xiruo has collected even more ingredients.

They spent four days in Antarctica, gaining nothing but the vast expanse of white icebergs and the magnificent aurora borealis at night. The air in Antarctica is arguably the purest, and the spiritual energy is also more concentrated; however, most of that spiritual energy is distributed beneath the thick icebergs, and the amount that dissipates is negligible for Xiu Qiyu's cultivation. Nevertheless, this vast, frigid land is quite comfortable for Xiu Qiyu; the water in the air and the icy chill make him feel very comfortable.

For Ye Xiruo, these past few days had been almost unbearable, with temperatures dropping to tens of degrees below zero. She was bundled up in a thick down jacket, sunglasses, a hat, and gloves, fully armed. Finally, she had to summon the Azure Lotus Heaven to form a protective barrier against the external cold. Normally, having reached the Foundation Establishment stage, one's body could automatically circulate spiritual energy to block external cold or heat. However, since they were on Earth, they couldn't absorb external spiritual energy, and relying solely on their own spiritual energy wouldn't last more than a few days. Using the Azure Lotus Heaven was the most energy-efficient method.

Besides glaciers and ice rivers, Antarctica is filled with endless icebergs. Xiu Qiyu had even used an invisibility talisman to investigate those icebergs, and the two of them went their separate ways, but without success. In the end, they had to give up and set off for South America.

In just half a month, they traveled to every continent except Australia, visiting places with abundant spiritual energy and few human settlements. They explored snow-capped mountains and glaciers, but aside from harvesting some food, they made no other discoveries.

Ye Xiruo felt a bit flustered. She had thought that their luck shouldn't be that bad, and that the two of them together would definitely gain something. But after going around in circles, she realized that things were not as simple as they had imagined. Just as the system said, the appearance of the teleportation gate was highly random, and whether or not they encountered it depended on fate.

"Brother Xiu Qi."

"Little Leaf, don't worry, let's keep looking."

"I'm a little scared. What if we really can't find him?" Brother Xiu Qi is undoubtedly a prodigy, a peerless genius who has suppressed several eras. She cannot accept such an ending, absolutely not.

"You've forgotten, we're one. Don't do anything to hurt yourself behind my back." Xiu Qiyu understood Ye Xiruo's concerns perfectly well; what Ye Xiruo was worried about was also what he was worried about.

Little Leaf shouldn't be trapped and die in a place like this.

"The space can support us for another ten or eight years without any problem, so we only have a maximum of ten years." This was the result she got after asking the system, which made her feel even heavier.

"It's alright, I believe in the great halo behind your head."

"What halo? It's clearly bad luck!" Otherwise, it wouldn't have brought such a devastating disaster upon his family.

“Little Yezi, those things are all in the past. You still have me, your master, Zhiyi, and Huarong. We will definitely be able to go back.”

"Yes, I am the only future Divine Master in the Taiyan Continent, with unparalleled luck. I refuse to believe that the halo behind my head cannot protect me and help me find the place of inheritance."

"Master, while it's good that you're so narcissistic, I'm truly ashamed of you." This was the system's cool voice.

"Shut up. You better pray that I can find the Gate of Inheritance successfully, otherwise you may never see a spirit stone in your life. What a painful realization."

"Lord, I want to abandon you and go find a second spring."

"Ahem, you probably won't find another person on the entire planet who can compare to even one of my fingers."

Ye Xiruo was quite confident about this.

"Master, you've gone too far."

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work. Since ancient times, the legends about immortals on Kunlun Mountain have never ceased. This is also the true birthplace of the Chinese nation, with a very mysterious historical and cultural tradition. It is also the place I can think of most likely to be the gateway to inheritance."

"I understand. I have a feeling that you will have a great opportunity here."

"Heh, find the legendary ruins, notes, or cave of an immortal, then have an epiphany, become an immortal on the spot, and ascend to heaven in broad daylight?"

"Master, you're daydreaming again," the system retorted mercilessly.

If Ye Xi decides to ignore the system and block out what he says, it's clearly jealousy, jealousy.

After arriving in Kunlun by car, they declined the help of the locals, did not use their inner energy or fly, but instead felt the unique atmosphere and charm of the place step by step.

"Don't you feel that the spiritual energy here is special?"

“There are eighty dragon veins below.” Xiu Qiyu said calmly, and even he was a little frightened after saying that. There were eighty of them.

"The extreme of nine is indeed not perfect. It may not be that it cannot nurture the eighty-first dragon vein, but that eighty is already the limit, already perfect. If there is one more, the entire Kunlun Mountain may collapse, unable to withstand such great fortune and dragon vein power."

“You’re right. Dragon veins are no ordinary things, and this land has long lost the traces of immortals, as well as the unique environment that nurtures them.”

"Let's keep going! Be careful, legend has it that immortals once lived here."

"This is truly the first time I've ever seen such a unique landscape and so many dragon veins."

"Is it not even on the Ice Spirit Continent?"

Xiu Qiyu shook his head.

It seems that Kunlun Mountain holds many secrets. Such a wonderful place must have immortal cultivation sects. They have lived here for so long, could they have made some discoveries or know some clues? This is much more effective than them searching blindly.

"How can we find their sect?" Ye Xiruo wondered. A cultivation sect that has been passed down for so long must be very mysterious, and ordinary people definitely can't find it.

"Let's walk and search as we go. Maybe we'll find something?" The atmosphere here is too complex, and Xiu Qiyu can't release her spiritual power to investigate recklessly. She can only search slowly. If she finds places with unusual spiritual energy fluctuations or traces of formations, she should be able to find something.

"I do hope to run into a disciple; it would be easier for us to infiltrate the sect and investigate."
