Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 434 212: Entering the Secret Realm, Venturing into the Extremely Cold Region Again_2

“Fairy Ma, didn’t you say that this place is desolate and deserted, that no one bothers to visit? What is going on?”

Ma Xiaoqiu also looked astonished.

Several hundred li ahead of them, at the original target location of the icy mountain, black smoke hangs in the air, tainted with the aura of monsters. This indicates that a good many monsters have certainly made this place their year-long dwelling.

In front of the icy mountain, dozens of rays of light are seen flying towards the direction of the mountain at high speed.

Those streaks of light stopped just outside the domain of the dark demonic aura.

Both Ling Jingjing and True Person Qingming had grave expressions on their faces.

Ling Jingjing put away a probing Magical Instrument and said to her companion:

“Daoist Qingming, if I am not mistaken, that fish is hidden here.”

A look of deep thought crossed the young face of True Person Qingming:

“The Four-Colored Dragonfish gave up the third-tier spiritual veins at the center of the Secret Realm and ran all the way to the North, even deploying a heavy guard,

Given the cunning it displayed last time when it tricked more than a hundred cultivators, it must have a significant reason.

Jingjin, what do you think is so valuable that the fish would give up the third-tier spiritual veins?”

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingjing’s eyes lit up:

“Could it be that the Heritage left by the Colorful Dragon Clan is inside this secret realm?”

“That seems likely! Even if it’s not the entire Heritage, there is at least something like a treasure house. This time, we might be able to obtain the opportunity to form a baby!”

True Person Qingming speculated.

Hearing this, Ling Jingjing was also in high spirits, calculating something in her mind.

Then, the two of them began to lead their men to form an array, preparing to attack this Demon Territory.

…..

At this time, both Chen Yi and Ma Xiaoqiu also guessed that the secret of that Treasure House must have been discovered by the fish.

But judging from the number of demon beasts it sent out to surround the area, it seems it has not yet been able to enter the Treasure House or gain control over the treasures and authority within.

Thḭ𝘴 𝕔h𝒶p𝘵𝓮r 𝑖𝘴 p𝗼𝗌𝑡ɛ∂ b𝗒 𝖪𝚤ṯℯṅ𝗼𝖛ɛ𝑙

Following Chen Yi’s suggestion, Chen Yi and Ma Xiaoqiu decided to split up.

Ma Xiaoqiu would skirt the perimeter and explore possible other paths to the Treasure House that she was aware of, as well as investigate whether the fish had gained ownership of the Treasure House or how far it had progressed in its exploration, in order to gather useful information.

Chen Yi, on the other hand, would follow the main force of Qinglong Island, searching for an opportunity to enter from below.

…

The demon beasts and the cultivator team of Qinglong Island quickly clashed.

Chen Yi, hiding in the group of Loose Cultivators at the back, was quietly observing.

There is definitely a distinction between a well-organized sect and the rest. Qingming and Ling Jingjing did not take action themselves, only relying on the Dragon Gate Array formed by the 18 Foundation Establishment cultivators from Qinglong Island to grind down the waves of attacking demon beasts.

The attack formation of Qinglong Island was making steady progress towards the icy mountain.

Chen Yi trailed behind a group of Loose Cultivators, picking up some fragments of demon beasts that weren’t valued by the sect disciples.

At the same time, he was discreetly observing the battle ahead by using the Spiritual Light of the Turtle Breathing Daoist Rhyme, acting like a spy.

The cultivators of Qinglong Island were advancing rapidly. In just three days,

They had almost completely eliminated the surrounding ordinary first and second-tier demon beasts.

Finally, when they reached a hundred li from the icy mountain,

The Demon Beasts that flew out from within had already reached the peak of the second tier, and among them, there would be one special bloodline for every few regular demon beasts.

These were the elite of the demon beasts in this Secret Realm.

To reduce the casualties among his sect disciples, Qingming decided to step in himself.

With a flash of Sword Light, Qingming’s sword was unsheathed. The sword was extremely agile- just like an extra body part – in the air.

Even though the Mana carried by his Sword Light was only at the Foundation Establishment stage,

The sword light would always appear where the beasts were most vulnerable.

Just like a professional butcher, he exerted minimal effort in slaying several peak second-tier beasts.

The imbalance between Divine Sense and sight was extremely apparent.

For a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator like True Person Qingming, the second-tier beasts before him were like little dolls. He could see through their weaknesses at a glance,

Even though he had killed dozens of Beast, his depletion was truly minimal.

His effortless appearance made the disciples below him envy and admire him greatly.

Even Ling Jingjing was frequently nodding in approval.

Golden Core cultivators, none of them have it easy.

At some point,

The monster beasts coming from the icy mountain stopped suddenly.

Unknowingly, snow had begun to fall in the sky above the icy mountain,

And the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger.

Both Ling Jingjing and True Person Qingming grew much more solemn in their demeanor.

Through their senses,

They sensed that the three-tier Dragon Fish on the other side was taking action.

The snowflakes landed on True Person Qingming’s face, and his young, tender complexion suddenly turned pale blue from the cold.

It was an extremely icy breath.

“Extremely Cold Region. This fish wants to suppress us with its third tier power.”

After observing True Person Qingming’s approach, the Four-Colored Dragonfish could immediately discern that, just like itself, the other party was also a highly experienced cultivator who had formed a golden core.

Faced with Qingming’s petty tactics of exploiting his cultivation level to enter the Secret Realm, the fish decided to suppress its opponents by means of its spiritual realm.

The snow became more intense, and the ordinary disciples of the Foundation Establishment phase were showing signs of frostbite.

Those of them at the later stage of the Foundation Establishment phase struggled to move under the influence of this authentic third-tier realm.

Qingming lifts an arm, saying,

“This is the innate divine ability of a third-tier Dragonfish, the Extremely Cold Region, which is not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator can withstand. Retreat two hundred miles, and prepare the Array.”

“Yes!” Eighteen sect disciples who had reached the later stage of Foundation Establishment all responded in unison, withdrawing with their arrangement.

Qingming and Ling Jingjing exchanged glances,

“Fellow Daoist, shall we meet it?”

“Go!”

The two transformed into two streaks of light, flying towards the direction where the storm was most intense.

Qingming merged with his sword, cutting down all the ice spikes that appeared wherever he flew past.

Ling Jingjing, on the other hand, looked like a butterfly dancing in the air, transforming into light skating through the blizzard,

When they paused to recover their breath after traveling tens of miles, not a single ice crystal had fallen on them.

They arrived ten miles away from the ice mountain.

The blizzard here was so dense that it was impervious to the wind. However, the snow was not the main problem anymore,

They needed to focus more energy on the ice spikes that could fly out from any direction at any time.

A four-colored slender Dragonfish figure intermittently became visible amidst the falling snow,

Boom! Bang!

The big battle between the golden cores and the fish had begun.

The snowstorm intensified, creating a blue-tinged ice curtain,

Gradually obstructing Chen Yi’s vision, making it impossible to see the specifics even with his Divine Sense,

He could only monitor through the observation of Turtle Breathing and make a simple judgement according to the energy fluctuations inside.

Then he realized that these two Golden Core cultivators were extraordinary, being able to fight the fish evenly with the peak of Foundation Establishment\’s cultivation level.

However, what they didn’t realize was that the deeper they delved into the region,

Each time they recovered and inhaled Mana into their bodies, it was accompanied by an extreme cold,

This was a deliberate move,

They could not break it,

If they wanted to attack the territory of the Four-Colored Dragonfish, they had to pass through this region,

Participating in a battle in this region means being affected by the Extremely Cold Spiritual Power.

Gradually accumulating,

By the end of half a day,

Both finally felt that the Mana inside them was not circulating well.

Cold Poison had already accumulated too much inside their bodies.

“Heh, the Golden Core of humans is nothing more than this.”

A voice emanated from the Dragonfish. It’s an ancient special species. Once it cultivates to the third tier, it can speak the human language.

As its words fell,

Even more powerful energy surged,

Using no tactics, just pure strength crushing them.

Even if Ling Jingjing and Qingming use all sorts of methods, they still couldn’t find a good solution in the face of such overbearing strength.

The two reluctantly utilized secret methods to withdraw.

Within ten days, they attacked thrice. Each time, they were pushed back from the ten-mile mark from the ice mountain,

Both of them had suffered quite a bit of frostbite on their bodies, internal organs, meridians, and dantiens.

When Ling Jingjing was healing, her face showed signs of pain.

“It would be great if that little fellow were here. He’s really good at healing.”

“Who? That little turtle doctor you took a fancy to?” The equally injured Qingming asked.

“Indeed.”

Meanwhile, the ‘little fellow’ they spoke of had already transformed into a dim streak of light, getting closer to the direction of the ice mountain from the ground.

After Chen Yi entered the Extremely Cold Region,

He avoided all the ice spikes and most of the snowflakes using his body technique,

If snowflakes occasionally fell on him, he would block them with the help of his Protective Talisman.

After the Dragonfish noticed this, it didn’t care:

“Just an insect that snuck in, nowhere near as useful as those two Golden Cores who suppressed their cultivation level.”
