Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

A moment later, a rather spacious cave appeared before them.

"Hurry inside and take shelter from this blizzard!"

As soon as the cave was formed, Bai Bing darted inside with lightning speed.

Hearing Bai Bing's call from inside the cave, Ying Zheng smiled slightly and took Nuwa's hand as they entered the cave.

"Fellow Daoist, please use your Dao power to seal this cave entrance, otherwise all the ice and snow will pour in later."

Ying Zheng did as he was told and sealed off the entrance to the cave completely.

Shortly after Ying Zheng sealed the cave entrance, snow and ice began to fly everywhere outside the cave, the wind howled incessantly, and thunder rumbled incessantly.

"Is this blizzard really that terrifying? I think it's not all that bad right now!"

Ying Zheng voiced his doubts.

Seeing that Ying Zheng was so dismissive of the ice storm, Bai Bing explained to him.

"Don't underestimate this blizzard. The current scene is just the prelude to the storm's arrival."

"Legend has it that a Taoist once came to this extremely cold place. He was caught in a snowstorm and failed to take shelter in time. He was buried underground and never returned."

Upon hearing Bai Bing's words, Ying Zheng walked to the cave entrance and cast several more spells.

"Just in case, I'll add a few more layers of restrictions to prevent the ice and snow from seeping in."

Seeing this, Bai Bing expressed her understanding.

"Speaking of which, fellow Daoist, you are about to come with me to our tribe, but you have not yet told me your name."

After completely covering the cave entrance with magic, Ying Zheng arrived at the depths of the cave.

"It was my oversight. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Ying Zheng, and this lady beside me is my Daoist partner, named Nuwa."

Ying Zheng? Bai Bing could hardly believe her ears.

"You said your name is Ying Zheng?"

Upon hearing Bai Bing's question, Ying Zheng nodded.

"Genuine or genuine."

Bai Bing was immediately incredulous that she had actually met Ying Zheng in person.

"Are you Ying Zheng, the one who stopped Dao Ancestor Hongjun?"

"It is I. How did you know?"

Seeing Bai Bing's reaction upon hearing his name, Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"Wow, you are very famous in our tribe! When the primordial world descended, it was you who stepped forward, stopped Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and saved all living beings."

Ying Zheng felt rather helpless looking at Bai Bing's admiring expression as she recounted his deeds.

“That is my duty. The actions of Dao Ancestor Hongjun are too cruel. Since I have the ability, I should naturally stop him.”

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Bai Bing's expression of reverence deepened.

"Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, you are truly amazing!"

Seeing Bai Bing's almost obsessive worship of Ying Zheng, Nuwa gently tugged at Ying Zheng's sleeve.

"I didn't expect your deeds to spread so quickly, even to this extremely cold place. That's really impressive."

Ying Zheng glanced at Bai Bing, who was full of admiration for him, and then turned to look at Nuwa, who was teasing him.

He smiled slightly.

"Can you two be normal for once? I really can't take it anymore."

Bai Bing chuckled.

"I've lost my composure, I've lost my composure. I just couldn't contain my excitement after meeting you."

Just then, the howling wind outside the cave intensified, accompanied by bursts of thunder, and the wind continued to pound against the mountainside.

"A snowstorm is coming!"

The outside world gradually darkened at a visible speed.

A bolt of lightning struck not far in front of the cave where Ying Zheng and his group were, instantly creating a huge crater.

Bai Bing's voice then rang out.

"My great-grandfather said that this seemed to be lightning from the heavens, with immense power."

Looking at the scene outside the cave, Ying Zheng was also deeply shocked.

The wonders of nature deeply impressed Ying Zheng, making him truly realize his own insignificance.

Human cultivation is about seizing the creation of heaven and earth, but when humans excessively damage heaven and earth, heaven and earth, in order to protect themselves, will bring devastating blows to humans.

……

Demon Ancestor Rahu looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was still cultivating, and then turned to Yangmei Ancestor and said.

"Yang Mei, do you think we should go to the Primordial World and see what Ying Zheng has done to that place?"

Ancestor Yangmei awoke from his state of comprehending the power of the River of Time and Space.

“What you say is not entirely wrong. I now have more than 70% control over the power of the River of Time and Space, and am about to enter the 80% range.”

Upon hearing this, Demon Ancestor Rahu was extremely shocked.

How much time has passed! Ancestor Yangmei has already mastered 70% of the power over the River of Time and Space; his progress is simply astounding.

"It seems you've had quite a few successes lately! Congratulations!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu greatly admired the achievements of Ancestor Yangmei.

"I see that your strength has improved compared to before, and you're probably no worse than me!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun had deceived him quite a bit before, and he was the only one who foolishly fell for it. Neither of them had ever used their full strength.

Seeing that Ancestor Yangmei didn't think highly of his achievements, Demon Ancestor Rahu waved his hand.

"So, now that your strength has improved, do you want to come with me over there to take a look?"

Demon Ancestor Rahu looked at Ancestor Yangmei with an eager expression.

Ancestor Yangmei closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

"I wonder if Ying Zheng is still near the primordial world. If he is lying in ambush there, we may not be able to escape."

Yang Mei, the patriarch, felt an immense headache whenever he thought of Ying Zheng.

While others fight one-on-one, when Ying Zheng was about to lose, someone would always come to his aid, and he could even summon helpers to join him.

"Ying Zheng is indeed a problem. But with the primordial world descending, Ying Zheng still wants to control it, so his Dao power must have been greatly depleted."

Demon Ancestor Rahu also revealed his own guesses.

"Furthermore, the three of us are now in the same boat; we share the same fate, whether it's prosperity or ruin."

“Let’s go take a look first. After Dao Ancestor Hongjun finishes his cultivation, he might come looking for us. At that time, we will have the strength to fight.”

Demon Ancestor Rahu added.

Seeing that Demon Ancestor Rahu was determined to go to the Primordial World to investigate, Ancestor Yangmei stood up and said to him.

“In that case, let’s go there first. We’ll hide ourselves so that Ying Zheng won’t find us.”

When Demon Ancestor Rahu saw that Ancestor Yangmei had agreed to go with him, he immediately left the hidden place.

Yangmei Ancestor followed closely behind Demon Ancestor Rahu, and together they went to investigate the situation in the prehistoric world.

……

"The blizzard has finally stopped."

Bai Bing noticed that there was no further movement outside the cave, so she spoke to Ying Zheng.

"Indeed, there is no movement outside. It seems that the ice storm has passed."

Ying Zheng turned his gaze to the outside of the cave. The biting wind had stopped howling, and the world had returned to its usual tranquility.

“This storm was relatively mild; we only stayed for ten days. Based on past experience, if we encountered a strong storm, it would take at least a year to subside.” Hearing Bai Bing’s explanation, Ying Zheng was also extremely shocked.

Is this storm really only considered mild? Even if it's "mild," the damage it has caused to this frigid land is still appalling.

"Looks like we're actually pretty lucky!"

Nuwa also stood up and spoke.

Ying Zheng nodded, then went to the cave entrance and dispelled the spells he had set up one by one.

Ying Zheng led Bai Bing and Nuwa out of the cave, where they were met with a scene of devastation—huge pits and collapsed mountains in the distance.

"The destructive power of this ice storm is truly immense. Without Fellow Daoist Bai Bing's guidance, Nuwa and I would likely have met with dire consequences."

With that, Ying Zheng clasped his hands in a fist salute to Bai Bing and gave her a solemn greeting.

Seeing Ying Zheng's politeness, Bai Bing quickly waved her hand.

"Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, there's no need to be so formal. There's a destiny at work. In my opinion, you are a lucky person who is blessed by heaven. Even without me, you would surely have turned misfortune into good fortune."

"I didn't expect you to be so good at talking. It seems that although your strength is not that great, you are quite considerate in dealing with people."

Bai Bing felt quite helpless when Ying Zheng told her that his strength was lacking.

"Actually, my strength is quite good within our tribe. It's just that Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng is too powerful, so I appear quite weak to you."

After saying that, Bai Bing continued to lead Ying Zheng and Nuwa toward the tribe.

Under Bai Bing's correct guidance, no other unexpected events occurred along the way. Ying Zheng and Nuwa successfully arrived at Bai Bing's tribe.

Before Ying Zheng and Nuwa stood rows of igloos built of ice blocks. Many people were walking around in front of the igloos.

"This is our tribe, and these people are all my people."

Bai Bing introduced Ying Zheng.

With that, Bai Bing led Ying Zheng and Nuwa toward the center of the tribe.

"Chief, I'm back!"

As Bai Bing called out, an old man emerged from the enormous ice house in front of him.

"Bing'er, you're back."

The old man noticed two other people beside Bai Bing and asked them a question.

Who are these two?

Bai Bing stepped forward and helped the old man up.

"I'm back. These two are friends I met on my way back: Ying Zheng and Nuwa."

Ying Zheng also stepped forward and greeted the old man.

"Greetings, clan leader. I am Ying Zheng."

Upon seeing Bai Bing bring outsiders into the clan, the old man's expression suddenly changed, and he reprimanded Bai Bing.

"Have you forgotten what I told you? Don't bring outsiders into the tribe. Don't you understand?"

Seeing that the usually amiable clan leader had suddenly become angry, Bai Bing hurriedly explained.

“Chief, these two are not like those wicked people before. They treat me very well.”

Seeing that the old man was about to speak again, Bai Bing quickly added.

"I will certainly not forget your teachings. However, if it weren't for Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng's help, I might not have been able to return. We encountered an ice storm on our way back."

Upon hearing that Bai Bing encountered a blizzard on her way back and was rescued by Ying Zheng, the old man turned his gaze to Ying Zheng.

The old man looked Ying Zheng up and down, then spoke to Bai Bing.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"

When Ying Zheng saw the old man's gaze sweep over him, he did not flinch and accepted the scrutiny with equanimity.

At the same time, Ying Zheng was also observing the old man. This old man was only at the half-step Dao attainment level.

However, he is nearing the age limit, and it is probably unlikely that he will be able to break through to become an enlightened being in this lifetime.

Ying Zheng then investigated the members of the White Ice Tribe, whose strength was inferior to that of the cultivators outside.

"Chief, I'm fine. Don't worry, I'm back safe and sound."

Seeing that Bai Bing was unharmed, the old man was relieved.

"Bai Bing, then you can invite your friends to come with me into the main hall."

Seeing that the old man did not blame her too much for bringing Ying Zheng and Nuwa back to the tribe, Bai Bing happily agreed.

"Alright, clan leader, please go in first. Leave the rest to me."

The old man nodded, turned around, and went into the igloo behind him.

"Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, please don't mind. Because someone from our tribe brought back an outsider, and that person did some things, our tribe members all particularly dislike outsiders."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, indicating that it was alright.

"What did that outsider do to make your people hate him so much?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Bing sighed deeply.

"It's a long story. Our people were originally very hospitable, but everything changed after that outsider entered the tribe."

Bai Bing slowly turned around, her back to Ying Zheng, and continued speaking.

"After that outsider entered the tribe, he first gained our trust, but in the end he stole the Purple Extreme Mystic Fruit that we treasured."

"Such behavior is truly despicable. To be able to commit such a despicable act as theft, that person is definitely not a good person."

Nuwa also spoke with a face full of indignation.

When recalling this past event, Bai Bing couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness.

“Since then, my people have harbored a deep hatred for outsiders; that uninvited guest left an indelible shadow on them.”

"Were the lost items recovered later?" Ying Zheng asked with concern.

"After my people and I searched with all our might, we found that the man had encountered an ice storm while fleeing in panic and ultimately lost his life in that natural disaster."

When Bai Bing spoke of the outsiders' fate of perishing in the icy storm, there was a clear hint of glee in her tone.

"Alright, let's not dwell on these unpleasant things. I'll take you into the main hall!"

After saying that, Bai Bing led Ying Zheng and Nuwa toward the ice house behind them.

Just as they were stepping into the ice house, Nuwa secretly transmitted a message to Ying Zheng: "Are we really safe going in like this? Aren't you worried that they might be colluding with Dao Ancestor Hongjun?"

Ying Zheng gave Nuwa a reassuring look, then replied telepathically, "No need to worry. I have already investigated. The highest level of cultivation here is only a half-step Daoist. They pose no threat to us."

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Nuwa felt much more at ease.

"Come in quickly! What are you standing outside for?"

Bai Bing walked into the room and suddenly realized that Ying Zheng and the other person behind her were still standing there, so she hurriedly urged them on.

"Oh, here it comes."

Ying Zheng responded and then led Nuwa into the house.

"Please take a seat, my two guests who have come from afar."

The old man, seated in the center of the hall, gestured to Ying Zheng and his companion.

"Bai Bing, go and pour two cups of my treasured Ziji Longquan tea for these two distinguished guests to enjoy."

Purple Dragon Spring? Bai Bing could hardly believe her ears.

"Clan leader, are you referring to the Purple Dragon Spring?"

The old man looked at Bai Bing and repeated his words.

"That's right, it is the Purple Dragon Spring. Go and fetch it."

After the old man confirmed again, Bai Bing finally withdrew. (End of Chapter)
