Upon reaching 700 meters, Ji Jingtian's spiritual power began to surge. This area was filled not only with raging extreme icy winds and the chilling aura of extreme ice, but also with extreme ice crystals constantly swirling and turning into snow. Although Ji Jingtian was empowered by an Emperor-level weapon, his spiritual power was being severely depleted. He gritted his teeth and persevered until he reached over 900 meters, when he could no longer continue. Moreover, his remaining spiritual power was dwindling; if he continued to expend it, he might truly perish there. He then turned back on the spot.

The people in the safe zone also lamented that it was such a pity. If Ji Jingtian's cultivation level were higher and his spiritual power were stronger, he might have been able to reach the core of the Primal True Ice.

When Ji Jingtian returned, he was panting heavily, his face showing exhaustion, much like Xiao Wangchuan and the others had just returned.

Just then, Yuan Zhexian took a step forward and walked inside. A terrifying aura emanated from the passage leading from the ground to the underground.

Those in the safe zone, along with Ji Jingtian and his group, also sensed the terrifying aura emanating from this being. Ji Youxin immediately exclaimed, "Such a powerful aura! I doubt anyone besides the Divine Child possesses a stronger aura than him. Who exactly is he?"

Yuan Zhexian was also slightly surprised. He sensed that this aura was the most powerful he had encountered among the younger generation. He then stopped heading towards the Primal True Ice and waited in place for the owner of this aura to arrive, wanting to know who it was.

At this moment, a woman with long, jet-black hair, wearing a white and pink slit dress, revealing her incredibly long, snow-white legs, descended slowly. Her perfect figure, alluring curves, and captivating beauty rivaling even the legendary immortal Yuan Zhexian, filled the air with a mesmerizing fragrance.

Yuan Zhexian had seen this woman before; she had stood beside the Ancient Dragon Prince when the True Dragon Clan had arrived. However, Yuan Zhexian was now curious about her identity, as he sensed that her powerful aura far surpassed that of the Ancient Dragon Prince.

"This is the ancient demon lord."

Upon hearing someone speak, the crowd immediately erupted in a commotion.

One of them said, "I never expected the Ancient Demon Lord to be such a beautiful woman."

"She's so beautiful. I doubt you could find a woman in the whole world who could rival her beauty."

Yuan Zhexian was also surprised to hear everyone's words, as he had always assumed the Ancient Demon Lord was a man, not a woman of unparalleled beauty.

The ancient demon lord revealed a captivating smile and said to the crowd, "Would you all be willing to let this humble woman give it a try?"

Everyone was so captivated by the Ancient Demon Lord's smile that they nodded repeatedly.

Then, the Ancient Demon Lord walked with elegant steps toward the Primal True Ice.

At that moment, a five-colored six-pointed star suddenly flashed on Yuan Zhexian's forehead. The adorable figure of Xiao Qi appeared in front of Yuan Zhexian.

Yuan Zhexian hadn't expected that the little guy would actually wake up and run out on his own.

Little Qilin flapped its tiny wings, opened its big, bright eyes, and looked around. After spotting the extreme icy wind and extreme ice, it sniffed the air with its little nose. Then, in its childish voice, it said, "Food... there's something delicious..."

But then it headed straight towards the original true ice.

"Little Qilin".

Yuan Zhexian called out worriedly, but the little guy ignored him completely, flying around happily while sucking in the extreme icy winds and extreme ice from all around.

While chewing, he kept saying, "Delicious...delicious..."

This move completely stunned everyone.

"They actually ate the Extreme Ice Wind and the Extreme Ice."

"What kind of monster is this little thing?"

"Let this little thing eat, let it finish all the extreme ice winds and extreme ice here. Without any obstacles, we can obtain the primordial true ice."

As everyone chatted amongst themselves, Xiao Qi had already reached the 700-meter mark. At this moment, the Ancient Demon Lord continued to walk gracefully and slowly, step by step. Then, turning around, he was surprised to see a beautiful little creature greedily consuming the Extreme Ice Wind and Extreme Ice behind him.

However, as the Ancient Demon Lord examined the little guy more closely, he could still sense his presence. The Ancient Demon Lord's surprise turned into shock.

At this moment, Yuan Zhexian was not worried that Xiao Qi would be harmed by the Ancient Demon Lord. As long as he had a thought, Xiao Qi would immediately return to the bloodline contract space. Since it liked to eat, he simply let it eat more.

Just then, as Xiao Qi was happily eating, a figure suddenly blocked its path.

Then, it said to the ancient demon lord in a childish voice, "Get out of the way...", looking unhappy.

Seeing the little guy's domineering attitude, the ancient demon lord smiled slightly. Then, Xiao Qi continued in his childish voice, "You're blocking... my food... move aside..."

The ancient demon lord, finding the little creature so adorable, couldn't help but take a liking to it. Not only that, but more importantly, it sensed that this little fellow was actually a celestial beast. As the ancient demon lord of the Ancient Demon Court, seeing a celestial beast in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, she naturally wanted to bring the little fellow back to the Ancient Demon Court. The talent and aptitude of celestial beasts were absolutely terrifying, possessing the potential to become immortals. Bringing this little thing back would surely ensure its future as one of the most powerful beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

At this moment, Yuan Zhexian was also puzzled when he saw the Ancient Demon Lord and Xiao Qi. This Ancient Demon Lord seemed to be no ordinary person. Without using any spiritual power, he was unaffected by Xiao Qi's bloodline. You must remember that time at the restaurant, several of the most talented and monstrous demons trembled in fear when they saw Xiao Qi.

No matter how talented or powerful this ancient demon lord is, the fact that he is unaffected by the bloodline and aura of the little Qilin Immortal Beast without using spiritual power can only mean one thing.

Xiao Qi could sense that the person in front of him was a demon, but he ignored his warning, which made Xiao Qi a little angry.

Then, in a childish voice, he said, "I... I'll bite... I'll bite you to death."

Then it charged directly at the Ancient Demon Lord, and at the same time, it opened its mouth to bite the Ancient Demon Lord.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian wanted to see what abilities the Ancient Demon Lord possessed, and at the same time prepared to send Xiao Qi back to the Bloodline Contract Space.

Little Qilin was moving very fast and was about to bite the Ancient Demon Lord in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the Ancient Demon Lord stretched out a slender jade finger and pressed it against Little Qilin's forehead, blocking Little Qilin's bite. Then, he gently grabbed Little Qilin's cute Qilin horn.

Xiao Qi struggled desperately, saying, "Let...let me go...let...let me go."

Then, a white fragrance emanated from the Ancient Demon Lord's body, and Xiao Qi's originally big eyes slowly closed. Then, lying in the Ancient Demon Lord's arms, a soft snore began to sound.

The ancient demon lord was quite fond of the little creature before him. He immediately prepared to put it into his belt space.

But in an instant, Xiao Qi disappeared from her arms. The Ancient Demon Lord's expression changed drastically, and she immediately shouted, "Who dares to steal my things?"

Yuan Zhexian calmly stepped forward and said, "Me!"
