The scenery before the three of them changed, and when it stabilized, they found themselves amidst a world of ice and snow.
The cold wind howled, accompanied by a wild snowstorm, as if it were a carving knife intent on reshaping the heaven and earth.
Mountain ranges stretched endlessly, all draped in a coat of silver.
âThis place, could it be very close to the Chaotic Borderland?â murmured Feng Wanli.
The Chaotic Borderland was the border between the Southern Domain and the Central Continent, where both time and space were in turmoil, hence its name.
Even a Heavenly Immortal wouldnât dare to venture recklessly into such a place âyou could easily get lost in it!
This was also why there was so little traffic between the Southern Domain and the Central Continentâit was just too difficult to traverse!
âTaoist Friend Feng is correct, a few hundred thousand miles further north and we will reach the edge of the Chaotic Borderland,â said Ye Chenfeng with a smile.
âWeâre not really heading into the Chaotic Borderland, are we?â Feng Wanli was taken aback; he didnât dare to venture into such a place.
Besides, he didnât even have a physical body right now.
Ye Chenfeng shook his head, âOf course not, follow me.â
With that, he took to the air and flew northward.
Feng Wanliâs face was full of suspicion. Flying further north? Didnât you say that just several hundred thousand miles to the north was the Chaotic Borderland?
Despite his confusion, he followed immediately.
Li Cheng also followed, asking, âHow far is this place from the Taoist Mysterious Sect?â
âIâve been here several times. The first time I came, I was curious, so I flew continuously south and it took me more than three years to return to the heart of the Southern Domain. Therefore, the distance from here to the Taoist Mysterious Sect is probably less than two hundred million miles,â explained Ye Chenfeng.
Li Cheng inwardly clicked his tongue in amazement. This was considered the edge of the Southern Domain, nearly two hundred million miles to fly to the central area? The Southern Domain wasâ¦
Intimidatingly vast, considering that the Earth is only about ninety-three million miles from the Sun.
However, upon reconsideration, if one were to use the Immortal Spirit Step at full speed, with each step covering twelve thousand nine hundred miles, a thousand steps would amount to over one hundred twenty million miles. It would take less than two thousand steps to return to the Taoist Mysterious Sect.
In that sense, it wasnât that far.
Feng Wanli chuckled, âOur Southern Domain is actually not that big, but the Central Continentâtheyâre truly vast and boundless. And the Immortal World is even larger.â
âYouâve been to the Central Continent?â Li Cheng queried with curiosity, and Ye Chenfeng looked on interestedly.
Feng Wanli hastily shook his head, âNo, havenât you read about it in the books?â
âCompared to the Central Continent, our Southern Domain is just a remote speck of land. Itâs said that the Central Continent is rich in natureâs spiritual energy and abundant in resourcesâ¦â
âEnough of that, youâve only read about it in books, you talk as if youâve been there yourself,â Li Cheng interrupted Feng Wanli.
Yet, Li Chengâs thoughts were racing, according to the texts, the Kunlun Realm was a major world that had existed for many eras. In the last era, one didnât even need to undergo Tribulation Crossing to ascend, and could easily cultivate to become an Immortal Emperor or even higher.
Such a major world must certainly be hiding many secrets unknown to the present day.
If one could find ruins from the previous era, itâs possible they might uncover astounding treasures.
âWeâre here, right at this spot. Be careful once we go in; there are many Demon Beasts and Formations,â the leading Ye Chenfeng said as he stopped in front of a withered stump, starting to speak.
The stump was over ten meters tall and equally wide. At that moment, Ye Chenfengâs gaze was fixed on the two-meter-high hollow in the stump.
Inside the hollow was pitch black, utterly void of any spatial fluctuations, which puzzled Li Cheng.
But Ye Chenfeng had already taken the lead and walked into it, his figure seemingly swallowed by the darkness.
Li Cheng and Feng Wanli followed suit.
Walking through the hollow for more than a hundred meters, it seemed they should have passed through the stump, but that wasnât the case; clearly, there was some mysterious magic at work here.
The next moment, the view suddenly opened up, and what met their eyes was a valley brimming with the essence of spring!
The valley is not large; the entrance two miles away can be seen at a glance, and through the entrance, one can see the mountain ranges stretching into the distance.
Behind them is a cave, connected to the previously encountered tree hole.
âIs this some kind of Peach Blossom Spring tale?â Li Cheng muttered to himself in astonishment.
âThe spiritual energy of nature here is so rich; itâs probably ten times denser than the outside world, and thereâs even Immortal Qi lingering within. Itâs practically like the Immortal World!â Feng Wanli exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Chenfeng and Li Cheng both turned to look at Feng Wanli, âIs the Immortal World really like this?â
âQuite similar!â Feng Wanli affirmed with certainty.
âThis place might not be the so-called ancient battlefield, but it is indeed an Ancient Ruins. There are no lack of such places in the Kunlun Realm!â Immortal Emperor Tianyuan conveyed telepathically.
âAncient Ruins?â
Li Cheng wondered internally, remnants of the ancient world left behind?
After pondering for a few seconds, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan transmitted again, âYou are now a Heavenly Immortal; sooner or later you will come across these things, so itâs no harm telling you. The Kunlun Realm contains many places that are hidden by folded space, almost all remnants of a bygone era!â
âSuch places may harbor living beings; others may only contain natural treasures without any living beings, or they could be entirely filled with Dead Spirits.â
âThese places will inevitably appear in the world when the folded space unfolds, and by that time, whether itâs a blessing or a curse is hard to say!â
Hearing the words of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, Li Cheng suddenly felt that when that time comes, it would probably be like the era of spiritual energy revival described in novels.
Nodding slightly, Li Cheng said, âIf thatâs the case, then what Feng Wanli said is correct. The Kunlun Realm is indeed very profound!â
The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan chuckled, âNaturally, ten thousand years ago, all Immortal Emperors thought that Grand Venerable Bai Jie was synonymous with invincibility, but who could have imagined, heh hehâ¦â
He did not continue, but Li Chengâs curiosity was piqued.
In the entire Kunlun Realm, who doesnât know of Grand Venerable Bai Jieâs great name?
Countless cultivators look up to him as their idol, but from what Immortal Emperor Tianyuan implies, could it be that Grand Venerable Bai Jie is not the strongest in the Kunlun Realm?
âSenior, please continue!â Li Cheng urged.
âIt is enough for you to know about the existence of the Ancient Ruins. Donât ask too much. There are many demon beasts here; you all need to be careful.â Immortal Emperor Tianyuan finished speaking and then became silent.
Feng Wanli and his companion naturally did not know that Li Cheng was communicating with Immortal Emperor Tianyuan. At that moment, both were assessing the valley before them.
âMy Immortal Sense is being greatly suppressed. Even in the Immortal World, I wasnât suppressed to this extent, which is enough to show that the stability of the space here is even stronger than in the Immortal World!â Feng Wanli was incessantly amazed.
When it came to the Immortal World, the two had no choice but to listen to Feng Wanli boasting.
A gleam of joy suddenly flashed in Feng Wanliâs eyes, âI thought Iâd have to return to the Immortal World to have a chance to rebuild my physical body, but since this place is similar to the Immortal World, then I have a complete opportunity to rebuild my body here!â
Saying so, Feng Wanli turned to look at Li Cheng, âLi Cheng, Iâm relying on you now, heh heh.â
Li Cheng released his Immortal Sense, indeed, outside it could envelop an area of fifty thousand miles, but here, it was halved!
This wasnât bad news, rather, it was good news!
It was equivalent to arriving in the Immortal World, just without the baptism.
Li Cheng suddenly thought that Grand Venerable Bai Jie must have also found some Ancient Ruins somewhere, which was why he had become so powerful!
And during the ten thousand years of his disappearance, could it be that he went back to the Ancient Ruins he had discovered?
The likelihood was high!
âExiting the valley and moving forward for fifty thousand miles, thereâs a ruined city. Those three items were brought from that ruined city,â Ye Chenfeng looked at Li Cheng.
Li Cheng nodded, âWithin the range of my senses, there are many powerful demon beasts, as well as some Natural Arrays. This place is indeed dangerous, as you said.â
In response to Li Chengâs comment, Feng Wanli scoffed, âWith you here, dangerous? Doesnât seem appropriate to say, does it?â
