Chapter 335: Chapter 304 Beihan Immortal Palace_1
Northern Domain.
Feathers of heavy snow filled the sky, painting the world a vast expanse of white.
Underneath the thick layer of ice, a bolt of purple lightning flashed past, and with a loud rumble, a large hole was broken open in the ice. A figure shot out swiftly.
Xu Mu stood in mid-air, enveloped in purple flames. The searing aura melted the flying snow and the glacier within a hundred feet.
Through the continuously condensing ice below him, an ancient relic was visible.
His head lowered, Xu Mu’s gaze fixed on the hole he had just emerged from, his expression revealing clear displeasure.
It was at this moment that the voice of the Black YuanYing came from inside the God Refining Tripod.
“You can’t blame me for this. Time has passed over so many years, and it’s only normal to encounter some accidents, right?”
There was obvious defensiveness in the tone of his reply.
“Cut the crap. Without the Life Stone, what should we do now?” Xu Mu said coldly.
The Life Stone was a treasure brought out by a cultivator from the Pool of the Universe. It could be used to sense the location of the Pool of Universe.
In Misty Sea, the use of Divine Intent would be greatly diminished, and cultivators could easily lose their direction once they venture in, unable to determine north from south, east from west. Without a Life Stone to guide them, it would be nearly impossible to locate the Pool of Universe.
“Let’s go to the nearby cities to check. There might be some news! The Life Stone can only be activated by special secret techniques. Regular cultivators, no matter what, wouldn’t regard it as anything more than a common stone if they happen to get it! We still have opportunities!” The Black YuanYing replied somewhat awkwardly.
He was indeed eager to keep Xu Mu in the loop for a hundred years, allowing the latter to abide by his initial pledge and set him free.
But due to the oath he had sworn, he was compelled to offer his best strategies and plans for Xu Mu.
“Could it be that your separated form took the life stone?” Xu Mu inquired.
“That should be impossible. He practices demonic cultivation, so the Pool of Universe would be detrimental to him. There’s no need for him to take such a risk given his cultivation level!” The Black YuanYing responded.
“I hope so!”
If it really was the Seventh Prince who took action, he would have no choice but to give up. Given his opponent’s level of power, he would undoubtedly face death if he crossed paths with him.
Transforming into a beam of light, Xu Mu shot towards the nearest city.
After some investigations, he finally received some mixed news over a couple of months.
There were once a group of cultivators from Beihan Immortal Palace seen near the ancient relics.
Beihan Immortal Palace was the largest sect in the Northern Domain. Even though it wasn’t as strong as the Da Yuan Dynasty, the sect itself also boasted several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators whose powers weren’t inferior to those Xu Mu once encountered in Fairy Moon Palace.
Regardless, Xu Mu didn’t have the power to snatch what he wanted from them.
However, given the situation, he wouldn’t be able to put his heart at ease without at least checking out the situation.
Xu Mu transformed into a beam of light and hurried towards the area where Beihan Immortal Palace was located.
Traveling on the way, he was surrounded by an ice-covered landscape. Sparse patches of evergreen and lakes were the only places where there were traces of human activity.
The Northern Domain was much larger than the Eastern and Southern domains. But due to the harsh environment, the population was less than one percent of those two domains.
However, due to these harsh conditions, the cultivators here were usually more robust.
Of course, the same could be said about Monster Beasts.
