Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

"Indeed, Senior. Our palace's Sutra Library has seven floors, and the books on each floor are distinctly different. It is not the case that the higher the floor, the rarer the books. In addition, each floor is set up with a barrier to prevent the jade slips from getting mixed up."

"If you want to go down to other levels, please inform me at any time. I will always be waiting outside the door and obey your orders."

The old man was humble and respectful, and the spiritual aura on his body revealed that he was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan period.

"I understand. You may leave now." Yan Yun nodded with a calm expression.

"Yes, sir!" the old man responded respectfully, stepped back and closed the stone door.

Yan Yun was the only one left in the secret room. He walked towards the light shield and waved the object in his hand at it.

In an instant, the light shield shattered, and three jade slips appeared on the stone platform.

Yan Yun took one and put his mind into it.

At the same time, on the second floor of Bai Ning Pavilion, two women in white stood facing each other.

One was Bai Yaoyi, and the other was the female cultivator who appeared in Master Hanli’s residence.

The two men look somewhat similar, one is gentle and charming, the other is cold and ruthless.

"I have already informed my second sister. I know very little about Fellow Daoist Yan. Although he once called himself an overseas independent cultivator, the Yinluo Sect and the Tianlan Holy Temple both called him a Tiannan cultivator."

"This person was able to fight against a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, and he once subdued four level 10 monsters in the Yin Yang Cave. As for how he escaped from Kunwu Mountain, I have no idea."

Bai Yaoyi leaned against the window, stroking her black hair, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was dissatisfied.

"Seventh sister, please don't be surprised. This person is extremely powerful and comes from Tiannan. It's amazing."

The other woman in white spoke in a cold, emotionless tone.

Bai Yaoyi was indifferent to this, knowing full well that it was due to the extreme nature of her training method.

However, the other party kept asking about Yan Yun, which made her quite unhappy.

"I have only a superficial acquaintance with this person. We only met each other last time I went out. I'm sorry I can't tell you more specific details."

"Everything said before is true. I wonder why the Great Elder has such a strong interest in Fellow Daoist Yan?"

Bai Yaoyi moved the windowsill away and asked leisurely.

"It is simply because he possesses the Extremely Cold Flame, which happens to be what Senior Brother Hanli needs. Seventh Sister should have known about this, why didn't she tell us?"

The woman in white asked coldly with her eyes flickering.

"I have been separated from him for ten years. I don't know if he can escape from Kunwu Mountain. How dare I mention this matter rashly? Now, I originally planned to mention this matter after finding the Mysterious Ice Jade, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Ren to report it to the Great Elder first."

Bai Yaoyi replied calmly: "Since you can't understand, I won't ask any more questions. This fellow practitioner has great power and we must do our best to win him over, especially to explore the true power of his white cold flame." The woman in white suggested sincerely.

Bai Yaoyi nodded slightly: "I will find a chance to test it."

Hearing this, the woman in white went downstairs calmly. Bai Yaoyi watched her leave in silence, her eyes revealing deep thought.

Time flies. Yan Yun spent seven or eight days and nights in the Sutra Library of Xiaoji Palace, reading a large number of classics and gaining a lot. However, he could only browse to the third level. He felt very regretful about this.

That day, he was reading a book about ancient rare elixirs, when suddenly a flame broke through the air, directly penetrated the secret room barrier, and entered the room. Yan Yun reacted quickly, taking the flame into his palm, and it turned into a blazing fireball, which turned out to be a sound transmission talisman.

After reading the message in the flame, Yan Yun showed a happy expression, immediately put down the jade slip in his hand, and turned into a light to escape downstairs. A moment later, a golden light fell in front of Bai Ning Tower, and Bai Yaoyi stood there gracefully.

The light faded away, and Yan Yun appeared, asking anxiously, "Fellow Daoist Bai, the Mysterious Ice Jade has been found, is this true?"

Bai Yaoyi smiled and responded, "It's absolutely true. It was originally estimated that it would take more than a month to get the news."

Yan Yun was very excited: "Great! Fairy Bai, is it convenient for us to set off immediately?"

Bai Yaoyi smiled slightly: "Any time is fine. I am waiting here for Brother Yan to lead the way. The ten thousand year old black ice we found this time is located outside Beiming Island. It may take several days to go back and forth."

Yan Yun answered firmly: "This little bit of time is nothing. As long as I can pick the black ice flower, I am willing to go even if it takes a year."

Bai Yaoyi just smiled and said nothing when she heard this. Afterwards, the two left the Hanli Secret Realm, left the Ice City, and rushed all the way to the north. On the way, Bai Yaoyi told him the specific situation of the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice in detail.

"It's actually in the Snow Howl Beast's lair?" Yan Yun asked in surprise.

Bai Yaoyi nodded and confirmed: "Indeed. The disciple who discovered Xuanbing was careless and was discovered and chased by the Snow Howl Beast. He was seriously injured and almost died."

Yan Yun asked curiously, "How powerful are those Snow Howl Beasts?"

“Perhaps this action will disappoint Brother Yan. The monster this time is only of level five or six, which is not enough to attract your attention.” Bai Yaoyi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a warm smile.

"Indeed, level five and six monsters don't seem to be worth capturing." Yan Yun responded with a chuckle.

"However, as we gradually go deeper into Beiming Island, we will soon be out of its range and will be in the vast ice sea. This place is completely different from the environment on the island, and there are many kinds of monsters that appear one after another."

"At the same time, the farther we are from the island, the higher the level of the monsters. Normally, we won't encounter monsters above level eight during a few days' journey, so we don't need to worry too much. But in the depths of the ice sea, there are often many terrifying monsters lurking, and there are even level ten monsters."

“According to the great elders of the previous two generations, they once witnessed with their own eyes a level ten ancient ice phoenix in the depths of the ice sea far away from Beiming Island. This is a true ancient spiritual beast bloodline. This one monster alone is enough to withstand the attacks of most of the cultivators in our Xiaoji Palace.” Bai Yaoyi’s tone became serious.

"Level 10 Ice Phoenix!" Yan Yun's eyebrows raised slightly after hearing the news. If he could really meet this Ice Phoenix, that would be perfect.

"Brother Yan, don't worry too much. It is said that when our founder founded the sect, he had a fierce battle with several ancient monsters in the ice sea and reached an agreement."

"According to the agreement, our Xiaoji Palace cannot arbitrarily attack high-level monsters in the Ice Sea, and high-level monsters cannot enter the one million miles of Beiming Island, otherwise they will be at the mercy of our Xiaoji Palace monks."

"As for low-level monsters, they are not bound by this agreement. Over the years, most of the monsters that besieged our Xiaoji Palace were migrated from other areas of Dajin to the north. If the Ice Sea monsters were also involved, our Xiaoji Palace would have been destroyed countless times. This situation has been like this since ancient times, otherwise how could our Xiaoji Palace have survived on the peninsula until now?" Bai Yaoyi explained in detail. "There is such a thing, so it seems that our operation should not face too much danger this time." Yan Yun was surprised, but a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"This is not absolute. Although there is an agreement in place, high-level monsters will occasionally lose their minds and rush into Beiming Island recklessly. Therefore, almost every year we have disciples in the palace die at the hands of monsters. We still need to remain vigilant in this operation!" Bai Yaoyi shook her head and reminded.

"It's just a few days' journey and can be completed in the blink of an eye. How could we encounter a high-level monster by such a coincidence!" Yan Yun said calmly, looking at the crystal clear glacier below.

Immediately afterwards, golden light shone brightly on his body, and his escape speed suddenly increased by 30%.

In fact, Bai Yaoyi had the same idea. She just stated the facts. Seeing Yan Yun's reaction, a gleam flashed in her eyes, and a cold aura emanated from her body, and then she quickly followed.

In the rest of the journey, they did not encounter any traces of high-level monsters, and the ice sea was so vast that they did not even encounter a few waves of low-level monsters.

So, after three days and three nights of continuous flying, they finally arrived above a huge ice crack.

"Is this the habitat of the Snow Howl Beast?" Yan Yun looked towards the bottomless ice crack where biting cold winds whistled from time to time. He frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Indeed, this is the place mentioned by my sect's disciples!" Bai Yaoyi, the peerless beauty, came over, looked around Yan Yun, and answered firmly.

"In that case, let's lure it out." Yan Yun nodded slightly and waved his hand. Aura flashed all over his body and sparks instantly appeared in front of his eyes. Then, with a few "puffs", the sparks quickly expanded into red fireballs with a diameter of about fist.

"go with!"

Yan Yun flicked his sleeves, and dozens of fireballs in front of him moved. With a whistling sound, a hot red light wrapped around these fireballs and fell rapidly. In a flash, they disappeared into the depths of the dark crack.

Yan Yun and Bai Yaoyi stared at the ground below without blinking.

However, after waiting for a while, there was still no movement in the crack, and no explosion was heard. It seemed particularly quiet, which made people feel a little uneasy.

Yan Yun and Bai Yaoyi looked at each other, and there was a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"It is impossible for a level 5 or 6 monster to dissolve these fireballs silently. It seems that there must be more powerful monsters hiding below." Yan Yun touched his chin and analyzed thoughtfully.

“Maybe so. The disciple from my sect did not go deep into the ice crack. He only found the ten thousand year old black ice on the edge and was attacked by the Snow Howl Beast.” Bai Yaoyi responded with a serious expression.

"No problem, let me drive it out with my spirit beast."

Yan Yun smiled calmly, patted a spirit beast bag on his waist with one hand, and densely packed gold-eating insects flew out of it.

From a distance, it looks like a stream of golden light, dazzling and eye-catching.

Bai Yaoyi smiled sweetly, but did not take any offensive action.
Obviously, she firmly believed that Yan Yun would be able to deal with the monster that was about to appear easily alone.

A moment later, a strange roar of a beast was clearly heard from below, followed by a storm of white snowflakes sweeping in.

Among them were seven or eight snow-white monsters that looked like lions. Each of them looked panicked, as if they were trying their best to escape from danger.

Yan Yun recognized at a glance that these lion-like monsters were the legendary "Snow Roar Beasts"!
Before these monsters could react, the golden light flickered around them strangely.

Immediately afterwards, several shrill roars pierced the sky, and these monsters were instantly cut in two. The wreckage fell from the sky like raindrops and fell back into the ice cracks.

Then, a roar of a beast that shook the world came from below, followed by a huge roar, and a hurricane several feet thick rushed into the sky from the depths of the ice crack.

Yan Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up.

At the top of the hurricane, there was a huge monster several meters long with a ferocious face crawling.

The appearance of this monster is very similar to the Snow Howl Beast that was killed before, but its silver hair is shining, and its body is more than twice as large as that of the Snow Howl Beast.

"Oh, it turns out that this is not a Snow Howl Beast, but an Ice Ferocious Beast! Why would such a high-level monster appear here?"

Bai Yaoyi let out a low cry of surprise, seeming to be quite puzzled by this.

Yan Yun's eyes flickered and he was about to take action.

"Please wait a moment. Can you show some mercy, fellow Daoist? This Ice Beast is a rare monster with ice and wind attributes. Why don't you let me take it into my possession? It may be of great use to me in the future."

Yan Yun was stunned when he heard this, but then he smiled calmly:
"In that case, let me do it for you and capture this Frost Beast. Fellow Daoist Bai does not need to do it himself."

The moment he finished speaking, Yan Yun opened his mouth and a pure white flame gushed out of his mouth, followed by a crisp cry. In an instant, he turned into a flaming bird only three feet in size, lifelike, with its wings spread out as it rushed towards the top of the storm.

Although this monster named Ice Beast has not yet fully awakened its intelligence, it already possesses a certain degree of wisdom.

When it saw the scene in front of it, it immediately realized the horror of the white fire bird, so it suddenly became full of wind and tried to ride the storm to escape.

However, at this moment, Yan Yun, who had been prepared, snorted coldly, and his eyes flickered.

The monster suddenly felt a sharp pain in its head as if it had been hit by a sharp object. It then let out a low roar and its body instantly collapsed to the ground.

It turned out that Yan Yun used his powerful spiritual sense to deal a heavy blow to the monster, causing it to fall into a brief state of unconsciousness.

Although Yan Yun did not exert his full strength, the strength of his spiritual awareness was almost equivalent to that of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. This was undoubtedly unbearable for an Ice Beast with only level seven strength, so he successfully subdued the opponent with one blow.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the white fire bird quickly swooped down on the monster and flew around it continuously.

Along with a "zilla" sound, a cloud of white smoke suddenly appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the monster.

Immediately afterwards, the white fire bird flapped its wings, flew back to Yan Yun at a rapid speed, and then disappeared without a trace.

After the white smoke gradually dissipated, a white ice block ten feet high appeared, and the ice beast was actually frozen in the ice.

At this moment, because the monster was trapped, the storm that was raging began to dissipate, and the ice began to slowly fall. (End of this chapter)
