Chapter 648: The Queen of the Snow Country
Xu Ming came to the imperial capital of the Snow Kingdom.
Compared with ordinary towns, the imperial capital of the Snow Kingdom is naturally more prosperous.
But what Xu Ming didn't expect was.
The imperial capital of the Snow Kingdom is indeed more beautiful than other imperial capitals.
Moreover, the mental outlook of the people in every snow kingdom can be said to be completely different.
Not only that, in the imperial capital of the Snow Kingdom, Xu Ming also discovered quite a few demon cultivators.
This surprised Xu Ming very much.
It seems that for the Snow Kingdom, this is a melting pot.
It seems that no matter where the monks are from, they can appear in this place.
Xu Ming led Lin Xingluo forward step by step.
They both looked left and right and thought this place was very novel.
Such a place is covered with ice and snow.
And in the center of this imperial capital, there is a huge hall.
This hall is towering into the clouds, like a mountain.
There are also mythical beasts unique to the Snow Kingdom circling in the sky above the hall.
Look at this palace covered and forged from ice and snow.
Xu Ming could clearly feel that the magic formation here was extremely terrifying.
Moreover, inside the palace, he could feel the aura of a powerful being in the Ascending Realm.
The reason why the Snow Kingdom has been able to stand till this day.
It's not just because of the geographical location.
What’s more important is that the Snow Kingdom always has a cultivator in the Ascension Realm in charge at all times.
These monks who have reached the Ascended Realm are the backbone of the Snow Kingdom.
As long as there are these Ascension Realm monks here.
No matter what happens in the Snow Kingdom, nothing will go wrong.
The Snow Kingdom will be able to stand forever.
So at this moment, Xu Ming felt that this matter was rather troublesome.
Because if there is only one immortal cultivator in the Snow Kingdom, it would be more convenient for me to do something.
If I make those people in the Snow Kingdom unhappy, I can just turn around and run away.
The other party can't catch up yet.
No matter what, I am also a cultivator at the Jade Pu Realm.
But if it is a cultivator in the immortal realm, if something really happens, then it is not certain.
Whether I can survive by then will be a big question.
But what else can we do?
For now, that is.
I also have to get in touch with the empress of the Snow Kingdom.
Because no matter what, I have to talk to her about it.
After all, I can't just turn around and leave, right?
Anyway, just take a look at the situation first and then make a decision.
If you just plan for the worst from the beginning.
That's also outrageous.
Then you don't have to do anything.
But anyway, let’s just say it for now.
I definitely cannot let Lin Xingluo follow me into the palace first.
Because the person the Snow Kingdom originally wanted was Lin Xingluo.
Moreover, the Snow Kingdom’s attitude towards Lin Xingluo is ambiguous.
I don’t know how they view Lin Xingluo.
If he took Lin Xingluo directly to the Snow Kingdom Palace.
Maybe that's like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
I don’t know what will happen at that time.
After thinking it over, Xu Ming finally let Lin Xingluo stay in the inn alone for a while.
Then he went to the palace of the Snow Kingdom.
"Sir, no matter what happens, you must be careful."
Lin Xingluo said to Xu Ming.
"I know."
Xu Ming nodded and looked at the woman in front of him.
"Don't worry, I know what I am doing with these things, so you don't have to worry too much. If anything happens, I can just run away.
But you have to promise me one thing.
If I don’t come back today, you have to leave this place immediately.
The farther you go, the better. Do you hear me? "
"I know, sir."
Lin Xingluo said he understood.
But in fact, deep down, I definitely don’t know.
She would definitely stay here.
If something really happened to Xu Ming, she would definitely find a way to rescue him.
In fact, Xu Ming also roughly understood what Lin Xingluo was thinking.
But there was no way for him to change her mind.
Xu Ming could only sigh silently in his heart.
Sometimes Xu Ming felt that Lin Xing was more stubborn than himself in some aspects.
Xu Ming walked directly into the palace gate of the Snow Kingdom.
"Who is coming?"
The two warriors guarding the gate of the Snow Kingdom stopped Xu Ming with spears in hand.
"Please inform the two of you that Xu Ming from the Central Plains Wu Kingdom is here to ask for an audience. I wonder if he can meet with Your Majesty. I want to discuss some matters with Your Majesty."
Xu Ming said to the two of them.
After the two of them looked at each other, they didn't say anything and just made way.
But Xu Ming was not allowed in.
They produced a snow-white dove.
The pigeon flew into the palace.
It’s almost time for two incense sticks.
This pigeon just flew over from the palace.
This time the pigeons brought nothing.
It just rests on the shoulders of the soldiers in the palace.
Then the two men didn't say anything.
But soon after, a palace maid walked in from the palace.
"Mr. Xu, right? Just asking Mr. Xu's name. His Majesty is already waiting for you in the Imperial Study."
A maid came out and bowed to Xu Ming.
"Please come with me, Mr. Xu."
"Thank you, girl."
Xu Ming nodded and followed the maid into the palace.
Walking in this snowy palace, Xu Ming looked left and right.
The entire palace seemed to be supported by the eternal waves of the heavenly river, floating silently in the eternal silence.
The palace itself is a frozen sky.
Everywhere you look, it's all made of ice crystals, crystal clear, cold, and giving off an eternal chill.
Supporting the magnificent structure are countless inverted ice spikes that are thousands of feet high, as dense as a forest and as sharp as swords.
Faint blue starlight fell from the sky, jumping, refracting, and shattering on the edges of these ice swords, casting countless ever-changing cold lights, like traces of light flowing from some huge living creature as it slowly beats.
The ice wall is not a dead object. Fragments and dust of ancient stars are frozen deep within it. Although they are as tiny as dust, they contain the light of the stars when they were first born.
At this moment, they are awakened by the brilliance flowing from the palace itself, slowly rotating and flickering deep in the ice, like billions of sleeping tiny eyes brushed by the skylight, or like nebulae frozen in the amber of time, burning and flowing silently in the ice cage.
The stairs leading to the depths of the palace are extremely mysterious.
When no one sets foot on them, they almost disappear, as transparent as the empty air, with only sharp-edged ice lines cutting through the space.
However, when the slightest disturbance approaches - whether it is a breeze or a gaze - the ice crystals suddenly wake up and emerge from the invisible void.
The brilliant and complex frost patterns spread, grow, and bloom rapidly on the surface of the stairs like living things.
Each line flashes with cold light as sharp as a diamond, interweaving into an ever-changing pathway of light.
Every palace maid was wearing a long white dress.
Their long snow-white hair is very soft in this world of ice and snow, as if they have blended into the whole nature.
Finally, Xu Ming stopped in front of an imperial study.
The palace maid knocked on the door of the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, Master Xu is here."
"Let him in."
A woman's voice was heard in the imperial study.
"Mr. Xu, please come in."
"Thank you for leading the way, young lady." Xu Ming nodded and walked into the door of the imperial study.
The door of the imperial study was closed.
"Xu Ming greets His Majesty."
Xu Ming bowed to the empress sitting in front of him.
The woman is extremely beautiful.
Her skin was pure white, yet not fragile.
Upon closer inspection, beneath the bloodless cold white, what was flowing in her veins was not hot blood, but solidified glacial meltwater and undercurrents of cold currents.
This inhuman aura made her look more like an ancient ice sculpture that had come to life than a human body of flesh and blood.
Her figure is the most perfect reflection of this ice crystal palace. She is incredibly slender, and every inch of her body carries the sharpness and ruggedness etched by glaciers.
The ice crystal robe made of an unknown material was not loose and covering the body, but fit tightly against the body.
Like a second frozen skin.
The robe shone with a cold light as she made extremely subtle movements, clearly outlining her plump curves.
The woman looked at Xu Ming slowly, then nodded: "I have heard of Mr. Xu's name for a long time. Mr. Xu ranks first on the Qingyun list and is in the top 100 on the Tianxia list.
Moreover, Master Xu is still so young, his future is definitely limitless."
"Your Majesty, that's too much praise."
"So what exactly did Master Xu come to do here?
I don't think I have anything that Master Xu wants, right? Or does your Wu Kingdom want to make a deal with me? But your Wu Kingdom is far away from the Snow Kingdom, so it's unlikely that there will be any deal."
"That's not the case. I came here this time just to tell Your Majesty something."
"Oh, I wonder what Mr. Xu wants to tell me?"
The empress of the ice and snow country looked at Xu Ming with a smile.
There was a hint of smile and sharpness in her eyes.
"I wonder if Your Majesty knows about the people in heaven?"
"Things about the people in heaven?"
When Xu Ming said this, the empress of the Ice and Snow Country was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"I didn't expect that Master Xu already knew all this.
But it is also true that Mr. Xu has reached such a realm at such a young age and is so powerful, so it is normal for him to know the secrets of this world.
Just as Mr. Xu said, we naturally know about the affairs of the people in heaven.
As for this celestial being, in fact, all the cultivators in the upper five realms have more or less some understanding of him.
so what?
Mr. Xu, do you want to tell us something? Or do you want to learn more about the heaven from me?
But what I want to tell you is that we don’t know much about the heavens.”
"Your Majesty should know about the people in heaven who want to come to the human world and turn it into a cage, turning everything into their food, right?"
“Of course I know all this. The reason why our Snow Country is now closed to the outside world is to prepare for the battle against the Heavenly Beings.
Otherwise, why would they control the entry and exit of people so strictly? You might as well tell me, Mr. Xu.
Although our Snow Kingdom is located in the coldest place in this world.
But we in the Snow Kingdom have our own integrity, and we will never see our people become food for others."
"Then why doesn't Your Majesty seek cooperation with other countries and dynasties?"
Listening to Xu Ming's words.
The empress smiled, with the corners of her mouth raised: "Mr. Xu, you are really a little naive.
We can say that we want to fight the people in heaven to the death and want to fight until the last moment.
But the problem is.
Do those other national forces and sects really think this way? I won't hide it from Master Xu.
Now in the whole world.
Quite a few sects are actually dogs raised by those heavenly beings.
So it is really too difficult for Mr. Xu to ask us to cooperate with them.
Let’s not talk about anything else for now.
Who knows if those people will stab us in the back.
Rather than that.
Then we might as well fight those people in the sky alone."
Listening to what the Ice and Snow Queen said, Xu Ming nodded.
Xu Ming naturally agreed with all of this.
For now.
Those people in heaven must have some lackeys from the lower world.
If he really cooperates with Wang Chao from other sects at that time, he might be betrayed by some lackeys in the lower world.
Many times, your teammates may not necessarily be your teammates.
“I think Master Xu will understand what I said.
Mr. Xu also knows what I mean.
I think I should understand what Mr. Xu is going to do.
Mr. Xu wants us to stand on the same front with you.
Actually, to be honest.
It’s not that Old Man Zhongyan didn’t come to see me at that time.
But I rejected it.
Because I think this matter is really unreliable.
This is the world today.
Everyone is an enemy of each other and is wary of each other.
If we want to put aside hatred and completely trust each other, how is this possible? "
"So Mr. Xu, please go back. However, if you are willing, our Snow Kingdom will hold a sacred tree ceremony soon, and you can come here to take a look."
"Got it, thank you very much, Your Majesty. I will stay here for a while.
But there is one more thing I want to say.
Your Majesty, there is no need to be so hasty to refuse. Maybe you can really consider it.
It would definitely be a little difficult for the Snow Kingdom to fight alone.
But in this world, maybe there really are like-minded people who gather together to resist those monks in the sky.
Just like in ancient times."
