“Tong Jin, these two people aren’t outsiders,” Chai Xiong Yi, the Sect Leader of the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect, said indifferently in response to the young man’s words, “They recently joined out Snow Horizon Celestial Sect as Revered Elders. This gentleman is Revered Elder Duan Ling Tian, and this lady is Revered Elder Huan’er.”
The four men’s expressions grew sourer as Chai Xiong Yi introduced Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er. He paid them no mind and turned to Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er and said, “Revered Elders, they’re from the Tong Clan. The Tong Clan is one of the four grade-six forces in Northern Iceland. He’s Tong Jin, the Clan Leader of the Tong Clan. The remaining three men are the Supreme Elders of the Tong Clan.”
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted coldly when he saw the four men remained unresponsive to his earlier words. He said, “Huan’er, send them away!”
“Yes, Brother Ling Tian,” Huan’er said obediently. Her eyes gleamed as a terrifying wave of energy rippled out of her body and overwhelmed the four Tong clansmen.
While the four men still had not recovered from the effect of Huan’er’s energy, Duan Ling Tian moved to their sides in just a blink of an eye. With his bare hands, he threw them out of Glacier Valley.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the four men snapped out of their daze, they felt pain all over their bodies. At the same time, they discovered they had been thrown out and were no longer in Glacier Valley. Although their expressions changed drastically, there was a trace of apprehension in their eyes when they looked at Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er again.
One of the old men from the Tong Clan said with an unsightly expression on his face, “These two people aren’t even Celestial Lords… How are they so terrifyingly strong? If the purple-clad young man didn’t hold back, we would’ve died earlier!”
“You’re right. The woman is only a Ten Directions Celestial King, and that man is only a Nine Palaces Celestial King. Since when do insignificant Celestial Kings possess this kind of strength?” a middle-aged man chimed in after he probed Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er’s cultivation bases through their auras.
The four Tong clansmen could not believe they, as Celestial Lords, were thrown out of the Glacier Valley by two Celestial Kings. If someone had told them previously that a Celestial King was capable of this, they would never have believed it. However, since they personally experienced it, they had no choice but to believe it despite how unbelievable it was.
Finally, Tong Jin said grimly, “Perhaps, we were too careless earlier and were caught off guard. Otherwise, how could they have thrown us out?”
Another middle-aged man said, “I agree.”
With this, two of the four Tong clansmen stepped forward, intending to enter Glacier Valley again.
However, before the two men could move again, Duan Ling Tian said frostily, “If you step foot into the valley again, don’t ever think about leaving ever again…”
Hao Wang, one of the Supreme Elders from the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect, laughed before he said, “I advise the four of you to dispel the idea that what happened earlier was just a fluke. Even Lian Qing He and I aren’t a match for our two Revered Elders…”
Hao Wang’s words successfully frightened the four Tong clansmen. Their expressions changed immediately, and in the end, they left the valley despite being incredibly unwilling.
Before the four Tong clansmen left, the Tong Jin, the Clan Leader of the Tong Clan, swept his eyes across the five people from the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect and solemnly said, “Chai Xiong Yi, Hao Wang, Lian Qing He, the time you spend in the Glacier Valley can’t be decided by my Tong Clan. If you want to stay here for the full three months, you’ll have to obtain consent from the other two forces… I’m going to look for the Thousand Search Celestial Sect and the Situ Clan. I hope you’ll have the ability to convince us…”
After the four Tong clansmen left, Lian Qing He said with a scoff, “So what if the Celestial Lords from the three forces come? If they dare to behave audaciously in front of our Snow Horizon Celestial Sect’s two Revered Elders, they can’t blame us if we decide to take over their time in Glacier Valley as well.”
Duan Ling Tian said, “That’s not right. Even if they’re no match for us, we’ll only take back what originally belongs to the sect.”
Hao Wang and Chai Xiong Yi felt even more at ease after listening to Duan Ling Tian’s words that brimmed with confidence.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian studied his surroundings. He could sense the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in Glacier Valley was exceptionally rich. With the branch from the Divine Tree of Life, his cultivation speed would increase tremendously if he cultivated here. Apart from that, he could also feel a cold bone-piercing energy from the valley. The energy was profound and mysterious. He felt as though he could understand it, and yet, he could not. When he recalled the words of the three men from the Snow Horizon Celestial, it was not difficult for him to figure out the energy belonged to the law of ice.
One could not touch or seize the laws; one could only comprehend them.
At this moment, Huan’er’s voice entered Duan Ling Tian’s ears. “Brother Ling Tian, there seems to be something underneath this place. All the aura is coming from below.”
Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian increased the range of his Divine Consciousness. As Huan’er had said, he could feel something underneath the valley. ‘According to the words of those three from the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect, this has to be the place that’s protected by the Formation… Even after the Celestial Lords from the four grade-six forces worked together, they still failed to destroy the Formation…’
Huan’er said through Voice Transmission, “Brother Ling Tian, it’s just as they said, the Formation is really strong. This Formation is called the Great Revolving Freezing Sky Formation. It’s usually used to suppress things with incredibly cold auras.”
“The Great Revolving Freezing Sky Formation?” Duan Ling Tian said in confusion. Then, he asked the three Divine Elements residing in his body, “Do you know the Great Revolving Freezing Sky Formation?”
At this moment, three of the Five Divine Elements, the Profound Divine Metal, the Chaos Divine Flame, and the Chaos Divine Earth, resided in his body. The three Divine Elements possessed ancient knowledge; they were like a fountain of knowledge. Therefore, Duan Ling Tian was certain the Divine Elements knew of ways to deal with the Formation.
“The Great Revolving Freezing Sky Formation?”
“Kid, are you sure?”
The Chaos Divine Flame and the Profound Divine Metal spoke at the same time. Based on their tones, it was clear that they were shocked.
Similarly, a hint of shock could be heard in the Chaos Divine Earth’s childish voice as well when it spoke. “If it’s really the Great Revolving Freezing Sky Formation, something with an incredibly cold aura must be hidden here. Moreover, the thing is likely at the level of a supreme treasure or an artifact soul!”
After a beat, the Chaos Divine Earth continued to say, “Kid, it’s like that this Great Revolving Freezing Sky Formation was created by a titled Celestial Emperor. Don’t even think about breaking it. What you can do is let Huang’er have a look at it. She’s an artifact soul so the Formation won’t reject her.”
“Huang’er?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened imperceptibly. Then, he nodded in agreement. “Alright.”
The three men from the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect watched in stunned silence as Duan Ling Tian raised his hand before pushing it down on the ground, creating a hole.
The bone-piercing cold aura intensified immediately.
“It’s that Formation!” Chai Xiong Yi said gravely, “Revered Elder, I’m afraid even a titled Celestial Lord wouldn’t be able to break this Formation. You…”
Before Chai Xiong Yi could dissuade Duan Ling Tian from wasting his time and effort, Duan Ling Tian had already leaped down the hole.
Upon seeing this, the expressions of the three men from the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect changed drastically. They instinctively stepped forward…
However, Huan’er was faster than them. She appeared in front of them and barred their way.
Lian Qing He smiled wryly as he said, “Revered Elder Huan’er, we only want to warn Revered Elder Ling Tian. This isn’t an ordinary Formation. Using force would only cause one to suffer from the Formation’s rebound.”
Meanwhile, Hao Wang called out loudly, “Revered Elder Ling Tian! It’s fine to take a look at the Formation but don’t try to break it using brute force!”
In fact, Duan Ling Tian did not have any intention of breaking the Formation. He only hovered above the Formation and appraised it. He saw a translucent glass-like barrier shrouding the Formation. However, the icy aura beneath the barrier prevented him from seeing what was being protected in the Formation.
Duan Ling Tian called out to the soul artifact in his body, “Huang’er, go. Have a look and see if that hidden thing is useful to you. If it is, it can be considered as your fortuitous encounter.”
“Alright, I’ll enter with the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.” After a moment, a slender and charming woman dressed in a seven-color robe appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. Her dazzling beauty made her look like a goddess.
“Okay.” Upon hearing Huang’er’s words, Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate and brought out the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword with just a thought before he handed it to Huang’er.
“If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to completely fuse with the sword and become its sword spirit. At that time, I’ll be able to manifest a physical body when I leave the sword,” Huang’er said as she took the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword from Duan Ling Tian. Then, she did not wait for a reply from Duan Ling Tian before she entered the Formation.
Duan Ling Tian might not be able to enter the Formation, but it was easy for Huang’er to enter the Formation. She was not met with any resistance at all as she strode into the Formation as though it was her home.
The others, naturally, did not witness this scene.
Before Duan Ling Tian leaped down the hole, he had already instructed Huan’er to keep the three men from the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect away from the hole. After all, he did not want them to see Huang’er and the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
Whoosh!
As soon as Huang’er entered the Formation, Duan Ling Tian flew out of the hole and returned to the surface of Glacier Valley. Then, he waved his hand and covered up the hole on the ground. Just like that, the hole disappeared. It was as though Duan Ling Tian did not make a hole in the ground at all.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes gleamed in anticipation as he thought to himself, ‘Once Huang’er completely fuses with the sword, the sword’s might would rise greatly! Moreover, Huang’er should be incredibly powerful as well once she’s able to manifest a physical body!”
