The voice reaches you before you arrive.

The next second, a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe with dragon patterns appeared on the top of the snow mountain.

He looked at Zhou Qing and the others and said with a smile:

"My fellow Xuandu disciples, please follow me. I will take you to the Snow Wind Valley."

The top leaders of Xuandu had already stayed with the masters from other forces, and only disciples like Zhou Qing were here.

"Thank you, senior."

Under the guidance of this middle-aged man, Zhou Qing and his companions walked through the gate of Snow Mountain Sect and finally arrived outside two intersecting peaks.

The two peaks intersect, and in the middle there is a valley entrance that is more than ten meters wide. There is a layer of light curtain separating the inside and the outside. Looking inside, the wind and snow inside are so thick that it is difficult to throw stones into the valley, and nothing can be seen clearly in the valley.

This is the Snow Valley.

Outside the valley, many young disciples were already standing there waiting. There were disciples from the Snow Clan, the Human Clan, the Snow Mountain Sect, and outer sect disciples.

When they saw the people from Xuandu Temple coming, they all looked at them sideways.

After finding a spot to stand, Zhou Qing observed the Snow Wind Valley and whispered, "From the outside, apart from the extremely intense snow and wind, there is nothing special about it."

"You'll find something different once you enter." Murong Yanran said, "The snowstorm in the valley is definitely not ordinary. It can scrape your body and blow away your soul. Although it can bring benefits, it will also make your body and soul feel tremendous pressure and pain. The deeper you go, the more this will be the case."

"After you go in, if you realize that you have reached your limit, then do not try to be brave and continue to go deeper, otherwise a good thing may turn into a disaster and harm your body and soul."

Murong Yanran had been to the Snow Wind Valley once and was very familiar with the situation inside, so she had a lot of say.

“Bringing pressure and pain…”

Zhou Qing pondered. He did have a strange thing that could transform negative feelings into positive feelings, and pain into pleasure. He had once used it on An Lang.

But if you use that strange object in the Snow Wind Valley, there are actually risks.

The pressure and pain brought by the snowstorm are directly proportional. The greater the pressure, the greater the pain. When you feel that you have reached your limit, you can no longer move forward.

Even if you reverse the feeling of pain into pleasure, the pressure on your body and soul will not disappear.

But if you let the pleasure cloud your heart, and accidentally overdo it, the pressure will exceed your limit...

That's really the feeling of being "deadly" cool.

Thinking about something, Zhou Qing turned around and reminded Yun Duo: "After you enter the Snow Wind Valley, you must be cautious."

"Uh-huh."

Yun Duo could also have gotten this opportunity. Not to mention her own talent, with the current momentum of Shuiyue Peak, it would not be a problem to arrange for an inner disciple to enter Fengxue Valley.

The disciples of the thirty-six inner peaks need to compete in advance before the Snow Festival to fight for the chance to participate in the event, while the outer disciples don't even have a chance to compete.

But if you are a disciple from a big peak, you can come here directly through the connections of your elders, but you will have to compete with other inner disciples.

This is why, although they all have the same status as inner sects, the inner sects of the big peaks are slightly higher in status than the inner sects of the thirty-six inner peaks.

The former has a background and backers, while the latter has nothing.

Murong Yanran whispered some of her own experiences to Zhou Qing and the others who were about to enter the Snow Wind Valley, while waiting for everyone to arrive.

Murong Yanran emphasized one point: in the Snow Wind Valley, one should not harm others, but just quietly accept the cleansing of the snow wind.

"Once you enter the Snow Wind Valley, everything will be seen. If you attack others or harm them, they will be seen and it will have a bad impact."

Our senior teachers and masters are watching us all. If you do something small, won't you just be provoking conflict?

For example, originally Xuandu Temple wanted to cooperate with the Snow Clan forces, but the disciples of that Snow Clan force directly attacked the disciples of Xuandu Temple. How could the masters of Xuandu Temple feel comfortable when seeing this?

The Snow Wind Valley is very big, enough for everyone to enter, and there are a lot of God-given secret powers. As long as you are good enough, you will definitely get a share.

It would be disgraceful to do such despicable tricks in broad daylight, in full view of everyone.

"That's good."

Zhou Qing said righteously:

"I'm worried that someone might try to harm me."

After all, people like him look very kind at first glance.

An Lang laughed out loud, and Zhou Qing immediately frowned at him.

Before long, all the younger generation who were going to participate in the snowy event arrived.

There are all kinds of geniuses, and many of them are well-known figures in Hanzhou.

"That person is the Snow Mountain Sect's Dao Seed, number 12 on the Cold Province Dragon Ranking, Three-foot Piaoxue Chen Ning. It is said that he is a human-snow hybrid, but he does not have the Snow Clan's alien blood in his body, so he left the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains and came to the Snow Mountain Sect."

"And that person is Xiao Teng, a disciple of the Tiansheng Sect, who is also ranked high on the Dragon Ranking."

"Did you see those people with snow-white dragon horns on their heads? They are the pride of the Snow Dragon Clan."

“…”

Zhou Qing heard the whispers of the Xuandu disciples nearby. It turned out that these geniuses present were all hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

There are several geniuses in his sect who, even if their rankings on the Hanzhou Dragon List are not as high as his, are almost as high.

This place is full of stars, and famous people can be easily found.

However, when the disciples of Xuandu Temple were discussing the geniuses of other forces, the disciples of those forces were naturally also paying attention to Xuandu Temple, the number one Taoist sect in Hanzhou.

"Murong Yanran, the fifth true disciple of Xuandu Temple, ranked tenth on the Dragon Ranking, her cultivation is indeed very high."

"That person must be the Ninth True Disciple of Xuandu who has become famous recently, right? He is in the middle stage of Manifestation of Sainthood and has just entered the realm of Marrow Cleansing. It is really amazing that he can reach this level."

"Dragon Ranking 18, Blazing Star God Zhou Qing. I heard that it has only been a little over a year since he started practicing."

"This speed of cultivation is too amazing. If it weren't for the information from Xuandu Temple, I would have thought it was a fabricated statement. How did he do it?"

“I wonder if you have seen the grace of this peerless genius.”

“…”

All I can say is, who isn’t a celebrity?

Other geniuses of the Dao species attracted a lot of attention, but none of them was as good as Zhou Qing.

In recent times, Zhou Qing is undoubtedly the most handsome guy among the younger generation in Hanzhou.

Some geniuses knew his information and were extremely curious and eager to fight.

When some experts heard about his deeds, their minds were in turmoil and they had many thoughts.

Zhou Qing's name has been mentioned countless times during this period.

The top streamer in Hanzhou.

After observing the well-known geniuses in various forces, Zhou Qing also took a special look at the Snow Dragon Clan, but unfortunately did not find any trace of Ao Xuanwei.

If I'm not mistaken, Ao Xuanwei should have entered the Snow Wind Valley a long time ago, just like Murong Yanran.

I wonder if her affairs with the Snow Dragon Tribe have come to an end...

"Everyone, please enter the Snow Wind Valley!"

A voice came from the sky.

The young disciple dressed in the uniform of the Snow Mountain Sect walked towards the Wind and Snow Valley first, passed through the light curtain, and his figure disappeared in the wind and snow.

Following closely behind were Zhou Qing and other disciples of Xuandu Temple.

When passing through that layer of light curtain, there was no special feeling, as if it did not exist.

But when I entered the Snow Valley, I felt something different. The originally peaceful and tranquil world suddenly became turbulent, and all I could hear was the roar and howl of heaven and earth! The blizzard was raging, and my body and soul suddenly felt cold and chilly, as if I was wearing extremely heavy shackles.

Just standing in the snowy valley, before even walking inside, I felt a heaviness and pain all over my body. Although it was not strong, it was easy to feel.

Zhou Qing looked forward; the heavy snowstorm obscured all vision.

He looked at Yun Duo and others around him, nodded at them, and then walked forward.

The road ahead depends on yourself.

“I wonder which disciple will be the best when the Snow Wind Valley opens this time.”

In the sky, shadowy figures were seen, and masters from various forces were staring at the ground below, with strong interest in their eyes.

"I'm afraid he is still a descendant of the Snow Clan."

"That's right. After all, this kind of environment is the home ground of the Snow Clan."

"Ha, fellow Taoists, thank you for your praise. I see that among your younger generations, there are also many talented people, and there are countless outstanding and excellent people."

These people were polite to each other and were very humble at this time. No one jumped up and down to express that our sect's disciples had the qualities of immortals and would be the best in the Wind and Snow Valley.

But based on the results of previous openings of the Wind and Snow Valley, it is indeed the Snow Clan disciples who go the deepest most often.

After all, compared with the Snow Clan, the human race is naturally less able to adapt to such an environment than them.

But this is not a big problem. No matter whether they can walk faster than the Snow Clan, for the younger generation, as long as they can complete the Wind and Snow Body Purification in the end, it will be fine.

Cold, shaking...

This was Zhou Qing’s first feeling when he started to move deeper into the Snow Wind Valley.

It's not just the body that is cold, the coldness also comes to the soul, as if a mortal is in a world of ice and snow.

At the same time, every step forward is met with great resistance. The violent wind and snow are like waves, making the practitioners seem to be fighting against the waves.

It is also like a rock, moving forward against the impact of the rocks.

The wind was howling and the snow was heavy. Zhou Qing felt that his body was getting heavier the further he walked. The biting coldness became stronger, and he even felt as if he was being cut by a knife.

The body, soul, true energy, spiritual power, qi, blood and spirit were all eroded and damaged by the wind and snow.

Walking against the wind and snow in such an environment would consume a lot of one's own energy.

This is one of the reasons why it is difficult to walk through the Fengxue Valley.

But in the wind and snow that are everywhere, there is a magical power that is integrated into the bodies of practitioners as the wind and snow erode them.

In addition to the biting pain, there is also a cool feeling like being on an ice field in the hot summer, as if the body is lighter, more transparent and clean.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

But unfortunately, this magical power can cleanse the body and soul, but it cannot restore the strength consumed by the practitioner in fighting against the wind and snow.

From the moment everyone entered the Snow Wind Valley, the absorption of the divine power had already begun.

When the cleansing effect of the Heaven-given secret power on the practitioner has reached its extreme, the remaining Heaven-given secret power will gather and accumulate in the practitioner's body to provide assistance for their future practice.

This is why we should try to go as deep into the Snow Valley as possible.

“It’s really tiring…”

Zhou Qing thought to himself that the snowstorms here were as numerous as the water in the ocean. Every step he took was met with great resistance. He had almost become a snowman.

But such strong wind and snow should have condensed into snow mountains, but it still blows up.

All I can say is that in this extraordinary world, everything is mysterious and possible.

Looking down from the sky, you can clearly see that even though people entering the Snow Wind Valley have the same starting point, they gradually have different positions.

Some people walked very slowly and unsteadily, as if they were exerting all their strength in every step. Even if they entered the Snow Wind Valley first, they were still caught up by the people behind them, or even overtaken.

Some people walk steadily and stride forward, always being far ahead.

Zhou Qing and others from Xuandu Temple, Chen Ning and others from the Snow Mountain Sect and Tiansheng Sect, as well as the geniuses of the Snow Clan, are currently at the forefront and belong to the first echelon.

In the first echelon, the positions of Chen Ning, a half-human and half-snow man, and several geniuses of the Snow Clan are slightly more prominent.

There is no denying that they are all very powerful, but their bloodlines do have certain innate advantages in such an environment.

Seeing this scene, the masters from all sides in the sky had something to say.

"Sure enough, this time the young people of the Snow Clan are still the first to take the lead. Brother Yuan, it seems that we have to give you the advantage again this time."

"I've said it before. This is just the beginning. There is still a long way to go for the younger generations of our clan."

“We all sincerely cooperate and make progress together.”

Zhou Qing didn't care about the situation of other people. Even if you were the first, as long as you didn't go through the Wind and Snow Valley, at most you would complete the Wind and Snow Purification faster than others, and you wouldn't get any extra benefits.

Here everyone is a competitor, but the competition is not that fierce, mainly because this Fengxue Jingti is not a benefit that only you have and I don’t, and it can be obtained by many people.

Under this premise, Zhou Qing just needs to do his own thing and move forward steadily.

As for whether you can go through the Tongfeng Snow Valley, that depends on fate.

Such an achievement is extremely rare in the opening of all the Wind and Snow Valleys in history. Zhou Qing is not sure whether he can succeed, and he has no confidence in it.

One step, two steps...

Time passed slowly, and Zhou Qing moved forward steadily in this snowy "swamp". The divine power continued to enter his body, cleansing himself and making it clearer and clearer.

Zhou Qing also discovered that when the wind and snow here ravaged his body and brought him heavy pressure, the True Dragon Blood Soul Stone and the Nine Aperture Golden Pill were also stimulated, releasing more power to fight against the power of the wind and snow.

You hurt, I repair.

You put pressure on me, and I explode.

In this struggle, the pressure and pain Zhou Qing faced were much smaller, and not only was he not consumed by the wind and snow, but the strength in his body became even more abundant.

The more you charge, the more powerful you become.

The secret power bestowed by heaven cleanses the body, the power of wind and snow deals damage, and the two magical objects provide nourishment. In this cycle, Zhou Qing gradually enters a state of emptiness and clarity.

He no longer cared about anything in the outside world, and he also forgot what he was doing. His utilitarian heart and his desire for the divine power all melted away like ice and snow under the sun. He realized emptiness, and was in a state of tranquility, without any disturbances, and without any distractions, just like a baby.

He instinctively took firm steps and walked forward firmly. The wind and snow could not stop him, and he seemed to ignore all obstacles.

Keep walking...

Zhou Qing was not fast, but he was very steady. Gradually, he surpassed the group of people who were similar to him in the first echelon, caught up with the geniuses of the Snow Clan, and finally surpassed them. He walked deeper into the Wind and Snow Valley alone, moving forward.

"Huh?"

In the sky, an expert exclaimed in surprise as he saw Zhou Qing riding away inexplicably.

"Is this... the young man who has been causing quite a stir in Xuandu Temple recently?"

"How did he get to the first place and surpass all the young people of the Snow Tribe?"

Someone laughed and said, "I just noticed that although Zhou Qing's movement was not fast, it was very steady. He did not slow down because of the greater risk, and this was true no matter how deep he went."

Seeing that Zhou Qing was still moving forward, while the others seemed to be in a slight decline and their moving speed had changed to varying degrees, everyone's thoughts changed.

A master of the Snow Dragon Clan smiled and said, "I said that the young people of our clan are still far behind. It seems that we all have to give benefits to Xuandu Temple in this Snow Festival."

"Hahaha."

The senior officials of Xuandu Temple laughed and said, "You are too flattering. The event below is not over yet, so we dare not celebrate in advance."

The Snow Clan, which was said to be the final winner, has now been surpassed.

He wouldn't really say that everything is settled at this time.

but……

The master from Xuandu Temple looked at Zhou Qing with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Of course he knew Zhou Qing, who was extremely talented.

But he never expected that you would have fast cultivation speed and strong combat power.

How can you perform so outstandingly at a time like this?

Even though this was his own disciple, the senior executive felt that this was a bit... too unreasonable.

An expert stared down and sighed.

"Traveling in this snowy valley is like practicing. It is good to be ahead for a while, but it is also important to walk steadily."

"Zhou Qing, you are indeed a top disciple of Xuandu. At this moment, I see that he is truly worthy of the title."

The disciples of Xuandu Temple have currently made the most progress. If they can maintain this level, the Snow Clan will have to make concessions to Xuandu Temple in all subsequent collaborations.

But it doesn't matter. With the master of Xuandu Temple in charge of such a huge temple, the Snow Clan would be willing to make some concessions.

Zhou Qing's stable performance and outstanding performance undoubtedly made those who had heard of his name and information admire and appreciate him more.

No matter what you think in your heart, you will definitely appreciate it on the surface.

The sun shifted, and finally, someone completed the Wind and Snow Purification. After confirming that there was no hope for him to escape from the Wind and Snow Valley, he chose to leave.

One after another, many people walked out of the Wind and Snow Valley, some completing the Wind and Snow Body Purification, and some not.

But even those who did not complete the task also gained some benefits, except that they could not increase their cultivation speed by 10% in the next year, so they would not return empty-handed.

In the end, everyone left except Zhou Qing, but some people didn't know.

After waiting for a long time, many people were confused. Why didn’t they leave here? Was there someone else who hadn’t come out?

"What's the matter, young master?"

An Lang was puzzled.

Murong Yanran shook her head, "He should still be in the Snowy Valley. If nothing unexpected happens, Junior Brother must have gone the farthest."

Gradually, other people also discovered that there was still one person missing in Xuandu Temple, that is, Zhou Qing had not come out.

This is surprising. Even the peerless genius of the Snow Clan has come out, but Zhou Qing from Xuandu Temple can still hold on?

Chen Ning of the Snow Mountain Sect's eyes flickered and he was surprised.

"I have the blood of the Snow Clan and am ranked 12th on the Dragon Ranking. This Zhou Qing has actually gone further than me..."

There was a lot of discussion, it was unbelievable.

In the wind and snow, Zhou Qing suddenly felt that the strong resistance had disappeared. He slowly opened his eyes, was dazed for a moment, and then quickly regained his consciousness.

He looked around and saw no wind or snow. He then looked behind him and saw heavy wind and snow. He was stunned.

Did I get through?
