"Heh heh, forgot to tell you, these weaklings don't even know the strength classification above Martial Emperor. Let me tell you, in the eyes of ordinary humans, Martial Emperor might be the highest existence, an invincible symbol, but in front of true experts, Martial Emperor is just a beginner. Above Martial Emperor is called Douhun, above Douhun is called Shura, above Shura is War Emperor, after War Emperor is Tian Sheng, after Tian Sheng is Gu Xian, and breaking through Gu Xian becomes Ming Shen. Breaking through Ming Shen reaches the Quan Zun boundary, and those stronger than Quan Zun become Dao Zun. What's called Yuan Zun is this boundary. It's said that above Dao Zun there's another boundary, but unfortunately no one can reach it, and nobody knows what it's called."
"Douhun, Shura, Zhanhuang, Tiansheng, Guxian, Ming Shen, Zhunzun, Daozun, and there are even stronger ones above Daozun. I didn't know that there were so many titles above Wu Emperor. It's laughable that Cheng Hui thought he was something special. He can't even compare to these old monsters, probably not even an ant in their eyes. Ah," Yuan Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, "Senior, where does the Lianhuo Doushi rank?"
"Blazing Fighter? Hehe, that's just a title, like the lord of a city, it's just a designation, representing one's identity. The Blazing Fighter and the other seven elemental fighting spirits can't represent a realm. However, in my opinion, this Blazing Fighter also has levels, the strong ones might have Godly strength, while the weak ones... might only be at the Asura Realm. Can't say, can't say."
"It turns out to be like this." Yuan Ye nodded, and the information he gained from this was quite substantial. Especially that there were even stronger beings above the supreme Yuan Zun, and in such a vast world, if one didn't experience these ultimate strong ones, they would simply be frogs at the bottom of a well, with a narrow field of vision.
At this time, the little rascal pulled at Yuan Ye's hem and headed deep into the valley. The three elders of the Qilin clan stepped forward and said: "Big brother, Shao Hao seems to be very dissatisfied with our hesitation."
The Great Elder looked at Yuan Ye and Rui Xi with a sigh: "Human, do you know what the Xuan Huang Chi is?"
Yuan Ye raised his head gloomily and said, "Do I look like I know?"?
"Even if it's one of us five elders, we don't have the qualifications to enter. That is the place where the ancestors and those who are qualified to become the patriarchs of our tribe cultivate and die. In this world, each of the Five Great Divine Beasts will leave behind a shocking treasure when they reach their peak. The Dragon Clan has the Dragon Pearl, the White Tiger Clan has the Tiger Stripe, the Vermilion Bird Clan has the Feather Plume, the Black Turtle Clan has the Black Turtle Shell, and as the leader of the Five Great Divine Beasts, my Qilin Clan leaves behind the Qilin Horn. Among them, only the noblest Snow Qilin is called Huang Huang, after the death of each generation of Snow Qilin, the Qilin Horn remains in the Huang Huang Pool, making it the sacred place of our Qilin Clan."
"Wow, that Qiong Hua, also known as Xue Qi Lin's horn is really powerful?" Yuan Ye's eyes were already shining brightly.
"Hmph, as long as Xue Qilin reaches adulthood, it will at least be a quasi-respectful existence. The powerful ones would even flee upon seeing the Yuan Zun. All of Xue Qilin's life experience in battle, its understanding of the Heavenly Dao, and all its power essence are contained within this horn, making it one of the best treasures in the world. Even the Yuan Zun cannot obtain it, because if they dare to kill Xue Qilin, they will surely face the revenge of our entire clan. Moreover, whether the Yuan Zun can defeat an adult Xue Qilin is also unknown." Suimu said with pride all over his face, and the remaining four elders were equally proud. Indeed, having such a peerless expert in their own clan would make anyone proud.
Su Mu looked at Yuan Ye and said matter-of-factly, "Now that you understand how sacred the Xuan Huang Pond is, we won't let you in. I believe you can understand our position."
"What?! Wait a minute, you're saying all this just to stop me from going in?" Yuan Ye suddenly felt depressed.
"It's already been said, the Xuan Huang Chi is not an ordinary place. You're an outsider, how can you have the nerve to enter? If you weren't a friend of Shao Huang, you wouldn't even be able to get in here." Su Mu suddenly felt stifled, the master had already politely declined him, yet he still wanted to go in. Su Mu suddenly thought that this little rascal was careless with his friendships.
"It doesn't matter, let me in. If others say I'm talking nonsense, so be it. I can bear some grievances." Yuan Ye patted the little rascal's neck shamelessly, and the little rascal was already impatient, carrying Yuan Ye and Rui Xi towards the inside.
"No way, only Shao Hao is qualified to enter, you humans are not." The second elder Huo Qilin's face turned red with anger as he blocked the little rascal, his expression firm and unyielding.
"Rooooaaaar!" The little rascal immediately bared his teeth and assumed an attacking posture.
"Anger cannot be indulged." The Great Elder Zhu Mu immediately shouted.
The two old men hesitated for a moment and then stepped aside. The little rascal walked right past them.
"Please wait a moment." Just then, the previous five elders, Bai Ling, smiled and said: "Shao Hua, you are the only Snow Qilin of this generation, and also our future clan leader. We don't dare to stop you. However, the Shao Hua Chi can only allow the Snow Qilin to enter, this is a rule that has been passed down for millions of years in my clan, it cannot be broken. Can you just cultivate by the side of the Shao Hua Chi? The effect will be equally amazing, and also won't break our clan's rules. Consider it as us asking for your help."
"Alright, alright, to be honest, my injuries have all healed since I arrived here. I'm very grateful to the nobles and I absolutely won't break this rule." Yuan Ye patted his chest and guaranteed immediately.
The five elders bowed their heads in unison and said politely: "Thank you."
Soon, the little rascal brought Yuan Ye to a white world. It was strange that although it was midsummer, the mountain was a bit cold, but it wasn't snowy weather, yet snowflakes as big as goose feathers floated down here. The entire world had transformed into a snowy world, and under the snow were white jade carvings, various snow unicorns either looking up at the moon or lowering their heads to mourn, or lying on the ground, or sitting upright in the frosty sky. Each carving was vividly lifelike, with different expressions and postures, but at a glance, it was clear that they were all frozen in the moment of their last breath.
A white Qilin statue, goose feather-sized snowflakes, a faint cold wind, and a quiet mountain range all come together to form a desolate yet beautiful world.
"Brother Yao, this place is so beautiful and sad." Rui Xi pulled on Yuan Yao's hand, her eyes couldn't help but get wet.
"Even the strongest, like Xue Qilin, must have an infinite attachment to life at the moment of death. It's just that the deaths of these strong people make the world's sorrow even more pronounced, and the place where Xue Qilin died formed this beautiful and desolate Snow Domain." Yuan Ye said lightly, but for some reason, when he walked into this Huanghuai Pool, he was no longer as carefree and frivolous as before. He felt a sense of reverence, a reverence for the heavens and the earth. What Yuan Ye didn't know was that Huanghuai Pool contained the insights of generations of Xue Qilin about the Heavenly Way. As soon as he entered Huanghuai Pool, Yuan Ye's understanding of the Heavenly Way had been greatly elevated, his thoughts more refined and sublimated.
At the same time, white energy poured into Yuan Ye's body at a visible speed, and his withered meridians gradually became saturated.
"Xiao Xi, do you feel anything?" Yuan Ye looked at Rui Xi and smiled.
"Hmm, I feel so spirited!" Rui Xi nodded with a pleased expression. The little ball had already walked into the edge of a white pool and stepped in slowly, enjoying it like a warm spring. It looked at Yuan Ye and Rui Xi with an inviting gaze.
"Ball brother, you're inside, we're good here. Little Xi, cultivate according to the method I taught you." Yuan Ye said as he sat down cross-legged.
