Chapter 508 The Gathering of Storms Reveals a Big Secret
This stupid fox is obsessed with dual cultivation.
Wang Yu was speechless and choked with emotion.
"We've arrived at your hometown. You will accompany me on this trip to the Heavenly Palace."
"Huh?"
Xueyu suddenly woke up, and a stream of white light emerged from her sleeve, transforming into a human figure. Her charming and sexy figure leaned softly against Wang Yu.
He looked so pitiful.
She said.
"Master, Yu Niang is no match for those ruthless people. She can only serve as your mount for the journey..."
"You good-for-nothing."
Wang Yu shooed away the head that was leaning in with his finger, muttered a curse in annoyance, and then smiled. He looked disgusted but secretly he liked it.
Otherwise, how could they have spoiled them for so many years?
The casual conversation between master and servant ended without any further development.
Since the group entered the Endless Ice Plains...
The earth turned into a frozen wasteland, with constant winds and snow blowing year-round, and the biting cold winds chilling people to the bone.
The distant ice storm is extremely dangerous; even a Nascent Soul cultivator would likely face dire consequences if they ventured in. It is said that no cultivator has ever accomplished the feat of traversing the endless ice plains.
The atmosphere within the team suddenly became tense.
Tianpeng King and the others followed closely beside the Five-Colored Holy Lord, talking about something. The invisible barrier formed by their divine senses prevented outsiders from eavesdropping.
Wang Yu observed for a while and sensed that something was amiss.
After scanning the large group again, he spotted several familiar faces, including the old monkey King of Truth and the cold, burly Shadow Hound King standing together.
They seemed to be exchanging information.
Wang Yu rode the beam of light and quickly approached.
He exchanged pleasantries.
"King of Mastiffs, King of Truth".
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wang."
The two demons responded quickly, but as he approached, the Mastiff King, who had been talking incessantly, fell silent and reverted to his former cold-faced king who rarely spoke.
Upon seeing this, Wang Yu immediately confirmed his suspicions.
He asked, turning the question around.
"You two are pillars of the Northern Demon Clan, and this Heavenly Palace Secret Realm is a treasure trove left behind by the first Holy Lord of the Demon Clan. Surely you two would be willing to offer me some guidance?"
Guidance?
The old monkey was taken aback upon hearing this, pondering the contents of the secret meeting between Tianpeng King and others that the Mastiff King had just told him before their departure, and was hesitating whether to tell Wang Yu.
Unexpectedly, the Mastiff King responded directly.
"This is not the first time the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm has been opened. The clan is quite familiar with it, and there is a lot of valuable information in the past records."
"Many of the arrangements inside are designed to give the demon race an advantage, such as the first test of the secret realm, which is called the [Extreme Cold Hell Road]..."
Whether the Mastiff King was feigning ignorance or genuinely failed to grasp Wang Yu's veiled meaning, it actually began to describe the situation within the secret realm.
The Five-Colored Holy Lord had already given him this information.
He doesn't need to repeat it again.
After the Mastiff King finished speaking, Wang Yu saw that the True Word King still did not intend to speak, so he shook his head and returned to the front of the group.
At that time.
Tianpeng King glanced at him subtly, as if he wanted to say something, but considering the inappropriateness of the occasion, he didn't say anything more.
And so, another ten days or so of travel passed.
That day.
The Northern Demon Clan arrived at the summit of a high mountain. This mountain had been cut in half by someone with great magic, forming a vast platform.
The ground is paved with dark blue ice bricks. Once you enter this area, the wind and snow from the outside are blocked out, and the howling wind and cold air cannot penetrate inside.
It is like a safe fortress in the midst of ice and snow.
Wang Yu stared suspiciously at the empty ground, but soon sensed powerful figures hidden in all directions, some concealed in the dark clouds and others beneath the earth.
Only one group of people made no attempt to conceal their figures.
There were a total of thirty-six Nascent Soul experts, all with blue and white hair. The frosty aura emanating from their bodies complemented the environment perfectly, making them feel right at home in this place.
Undoubtedly, this was the mixed-blood Ice Clan team led by Bingjiu, the son of the second generation Ice God, and included many cultivators from the Zhenbei Tower.
They are the most powerful group of people besides the Northern Demon Clan. Given this situation, the Northern Demon Clan's biggest competitor is them.
only……
With so many people, the number of Holy Decrees is definitely not enough. You must know that the Southern Demon Clan still has a team of more than 20 people who have not arrived, plus the powerful individuals from all over the country who unexpectedly obtained the Holy Decrees.
The number has long exceeded the number of one hundred and eight holy decrees.
The powerful demons remained silent and confronted the ice clan's group. Wang Yu, however, remained unmoved upon seeing this group of expected targets.
Its pupils quickly locked onto Ice Dove.
Given that this person is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet commands such a large group of powerful individuals, his status must be extremely high.
The evil method of searching for gods was prepared specifically for people like him.
This soul-searching technique has been successfully developed and advanced over the past thirty years. The fifth-order soul-searching technique is enough to bypass most of the consciousness sea restrictions and oath constraints in the Ice Prison Realm.
Make sure you get the information you want before the other person's soul is destroyed.
The sooner he obtains the ice-attribute Dharma Body inheritance, the better, since he is already very close to the Nascent Soul stage, and he needs to leave enough time to perfect his own Dharma Body world.
If we can fight a battle before entering the secret realm.
That would be best.
Harboring a hidden purpose, Wang Yu concealed himself behind the demons, silently listening to the conversation between the Five-Colored Holy Lord and the other party.
"Friends of the Ice Clan, this place is the palace and secret vault of the first Holy Lord of my Demon Clan. I hope you will not have any improper thoughts, lest the scene become unsightly."
These hybrid ice races are generally not very old.
The importance and pride one places on one's bloodline are as uncontrollable as instinct. What the Five-Colored Holy Lord's seemingly normal warning is actually an insult.
They were nailed to the pillar of shame, especially the phrase "the first Holy Lord of the Demon Clan," which made those who knew the truth feel utterly contemptuous.
Just then, someone couldn't help but say...
"What first Holy Lord of the Demon Clan? That's clearly..."
"--quiet!"
Bingjiu suddenly shouted, staring sternly at the person: "When did it become your place to interrupt when I, the Divine Child, am conversing with the Holy Lord of the Demon Clan?"
The mixed-race ice race member realized he had let something slip, immediately understood his mistake, slapped himself hard, and silently retreated into the group without making a sound.
This prestige and control over the team meant that Bingjiu was by no means a simple character, which was inconsistent with the news that Wang Yu and others had received last time that the Son of the Ice God was wreaking havoc on the Ice Plains.
Could it be caused by fear? But it doesn't seem like it...
After Bingjiu finished reprimanding his subordinates...
Then he turned to the Five-Colored Holy Lord and said.
"Although this place was established by the Ice Phoenix Saint Lord, there are no restrictions on the races that can enter."
"Anyone with the Ice Phoenix Holy Token may enter. I was fortunate enough to obtain a few and wish to explore. I hope the Holy Lord will not stop me?"
The implication was that his Ice Clan army was indeed quite large.
However, they were all his bodyguards, and only a small number of people would enter, which matched the number estimated by the Northern Demon Clan.
The Five-Colored Holy Lord nodded upon hearing this.
"Since the Divine Child is not afraid of the dangers in the secret realm, this Holy Lord will not stop you."
Having said that, he made no further indication of wanting to drive them away.
Although this attitude displeased the demons, they did not say much out of consideration for the Holy Lord's reputation for benevolence, and their ability to fill in the blanks with their own imaginations was quite strong.
However, we waited until the Five-Colored Holy Lord returned to the group.
During their interactions within the small circle formed by Tianpeng King and the other four former kings, they expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Old Lu, since the main purpose of this trip is to welcome back the Azure Dragon Demon Lord, these Ice Clan members who are unaware of the situation must be excluded. What if it causes any problems?"
The Fire Crow King, Thunder Scale King, and others all mean the same thing.
They felt that the Five-Colored Holy Lord was too weak.
He, however, argued confidently: "It's just a few people going in. Even without them, those powerful figures hiding in the shadows waiting for us to open the door are still a problem."
"Are we going to expel them all? If we do that, the Northern Demon Clan will become the target of everyone's hatred, and those rogue cultivators who were not originally hostile will deliberately sabotage our plans."
"If we don't drive them away, they will fight each other over the treasures in the secret realm. We should just do our own thing and not bother with these people."
His reasoning was clear and logical, and his thinking was well-defined.
The three kings were immediately speechless, and their original intention to cause trouble vanished. After Tianpeng King fell silent, no one voiced any further objection.
As time went by, more and more people arrived.
When they saw that the Ice Clan and the Northern Demon Clan each occupied a part of the platform and were coexisting peacefully, they no longer bothered to hide themselves.
Instead, they formed small groups of two or three and stood quietly to the side.
Or perhaps you run into someone you know and exchange a few words.
Overall, it was still quite quiet.
Among them, the pairing of Yan Ling and Yu Tangtang, one tall and one short, was discovered by Wang Yu in advance, but he did not show up to contact them.
While waiting, Wang Yu silently continued his cultivation.
The spiritual environment of the endless ice plains was very suitable for cultivators like him who followed the path of frost, making his demonic energy more active and increasing at least 30% faster.
If he could find a treasure land that nurtures extreme cold, his cultivation speed would be even faster. The auxiliary effects provided by this special environment would be even better than those provided by ordinary fourth-order spiritual veins.
Just as he was cultivating, a divine sense that was both strange and familiar quietly contacted him; it was none other than the Heavenly Roc King!
He had wanted to talk to Wang Yu since he was on his way.
Unfortunately, the timing was wrong.
At this moment, a secret contact was made, and the first thing the king said was, "Fellow Daoist Wang, I helped you get rid of a great enemy back then. I wonder if you still remember that favor?"
This debt of gratitude comes from the Nine Evil Sword Lord.
Wang Yu would not deny it. He had already repaid the favors to the True Word King and the Mastiff King. The battle of the Azure Cloud Sect back then was originally a good opportunity to repay those favors.
But nothing came of it afterward.
“Peng Wang, please speak freely. I am not a man of my word.”
After a moment of silence, King Tianpeng began to recount the events in detail.
Wang Yu's pupils contracted slightly.
Learning that the Azure Dragon Demon Lord was in seclusion in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm to heal his injuries was a great shock to him. He had thought that the Five-Colored Holy Lord wanted him to refine pills in the secret realm and then bring them back to the Ancestor for use.
Now it seems they want to restore the Demon Lord to his full strength in the secret realm, so they can then seize the entire Heavenly Palace Secret Realm?
It is not yet clear whether the other party is friend or foe.
However, if he wanted to take away the treasures in the secret realm, this person would definitely not sit idly by. Before he could think of any more problems, Tianpeng King continued to explain the predicament he was facing.
The purpose of this favor was actually to deal with the Five-Colored Holy Lord!
Wang Yu remained silent for a long time.
More and more questions are popping into my head.
The Five-Colored Holy Lord's purpose was questionable; his intuition told him that this person had grand plans and it was difficult to fathom his thoughts.
If he wants to seek the greatest benefit, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord will be an unavoidable problem for him. If he can obtain the opportunity to become a Nascent Soul cultivator in the secret realm, then cooperation is not out of the question.
However... given the vast difference in strength.
He didn't think the other party would give him the opportunity. The demon race's predicament of being unable to enter or leave the Broken Realm Mountains was caused by the human race.
In the eyes of a peak Nascent Soul being like the Azure Dragon Demon Lord.
Aside from the Ice Prison Realm, racial conflict is the first problem that must be considered. His serious injuries were caused by racial conflict, and all aspects of the problem must be taken into account.
King Tianpeng's complete revelation presented Wang Yu with a real dilemma.
His original plan to wreak havoc on all sides had to be shelved, and he had to devise a different strategy.
Moreover, his original intention in preventing Yan Ling and the other person from contacting him was actually to prevent targeted retaliation from his opponents who could not do anything to him, and to take preventative measures in advance.
In retrospect, having more power at your disposal might not be a bad thing.
The task entrusted to Wang Yu by Tianpeng King was to make him more vigilant towards the Five-Colored Saint Lord, to ensure that there would be no problems in the process of refining the precious pill, and also to ask him to take good care of that fifth-order pill formula.
If an accident were to occur, a civil war would be inevitable.
As his thoughts drifted to this point, Wang Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea that would harm others without benefiting himself.
He said.
“Senior Peng King, since there are so many problems in the team, these Ice Clan cultivators may become the biggest variable. Why not eliminate them in advance?”
King Tianpeng originally thought so too, but he was persuaded by the Five-Colored Holy Lord's reasoning, so he repeated those words to Wang Yu again.
Unexpectedly, Wang made a shocking revelation.
"Does King Peng know that the true identity of the Ice Phoenix Saint Lord is a pure-blooded Ice Clan member who is born with a form that resembles an Ice Phoenix? This Heavenly Palace Secret Realm is similar to the hundreds and thousands of inheritance temples on the Ice Plains."
"These are all contingency plans left by the Ice Phoenix for the Ice Clan. This son of the Ice God is a perfect being specially created by the Gatekeeper Tribe, specifically for the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm!"
"If I'm not mistaken, they should have the ability to enter the secret realm without using the holy decree."
These words almost shattered Tianpeng King's understanding.
The fluctuations in his spiritual consciousness suddenly amplified.
"—This is impossible!"
At this moment, the Five-Colored Saint Lord suddenly turned to look at Wang Yu.
However, she did not sense any further fluctuations in his spiritual sense, but her attention was frequently focused on Wang Yu, which forced their secret conversation to end.
King Tianpeng's face turned extremely ugly.
I wanted to ask, but I couldn't bring myself to say it.
For some reason, he was very resistant to the Five-Colored Holy Lord knowing this news... or rather, deep down he suspected that the Five-Colored Holy Lord already knew this secret, but just hadn't told them.
The situation became extremely bizarre and strange.
This secret comes from an underground palace within the Taiyin Gate.
That is—the Black Stele of the Underground Palace of Xuangu Mountain!
The Black Stele is a secret passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors using special methods. It tells future generations the truth about the Ice Prison Realm, hoping that one day, the cultivators of this realm can be truly liberated.
The source is trustworthy.
Sudden.
A Nascent Soul cultivator from the Tianpeng Clan stared wide-eyed.
"You Ice Clan bastard, what are you looking at me for? Believe me or not, I'll kill you, you stinking bastard!"
The delicate-looking Ice Clan member was completely bewildered.
He pointed to himself, still unsure, looking adorably silly as if he were talking to me.
The great demon of the Tianpeng clan immediately grinned maliciously.
Upon receiving the king's affirmative command, Tianpeng suddenly attacked, and before the opponent could react, Tianpeng's head was smashed to pieces with a single slap.
A peculiar ice crystal nascent soul emerged from the body, glaring angrily at the great demon and shouting.
"My Lord, this dead bird launched a sneak attack..."
