Ji Ning sat there, his right hand stretched out, and the hazy yuan force directly enveloped the nearby sunken wooden box's ten-thousand-year-old ice. The cold air of the ten-thousand-year-old ice was constantly being absorbed by Ji Ning...directly absorbing it into his body's Zi Fu. In the Zi Fu, the one frost that had been nourished suddenly became excited and frantically absorbed the cold air upon contact with it.

  "Master." Qing Qing, who had been hesitating beside him for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

  "Huh?" Ji Ning turned her head to look over.

  "Master, this piece of eternal ice has been used up. I'll give you another one." Qingqing carefully looked at Ji Ning, "Give me another two-foot-high one."

  Ji Ning suddenly laughed, he saw through it, this little Qing was still a money lover.

  As he looked at Xiao Qing... Ji Ning suddenly thought of another woman's appearance in his mind.

  "Autumn Leaves sister." Ji Ning said quietly, "It's been over three years since leaving Yanshan, and it's been over three years since we last saw each other. I don't even know how Autumn Leaves sister is doing now."

  That woman who has been with him since childhood like an elder sister, Ji Ning also had very deep feelings for.

  "Now that I've become the Dragon Guard, I can finally investigate those three culprits who brought such misery to my father, mother, and uncle." Ji Ning thought to himself, "And...I can also return to Yan Mountain to see Autumn Leaf Sister, Qing Shi. And that Winged Snake Lake..."

  Ji Ning suddenly wanted to return to Winged Snake Lake, it had been a long time since he last lay on a small boat drifting on the lake.

  "Wing Snake Lake!"

  Ji Ning's eyes gradually took on a sharp glint as he thought about it.

  "One day, I want the one I love to live happily forever, and tragedy will never happen around me again, forever!" Ji Ning had an unyielding obsession in his heart. His Dao heart was also tempered to be even more pure, "As for Xue Long Shan? I'm just the first obstacle on the path of cultivating immortality."

  In his heart, Ji Ning's goal has always been to become a powerful being who can control his own destiny and roam freely through the Three Realms.

  Xue Long Shan? Ji Ning had never considered it his sole goal in life.

  ……

  It's been three days since I've been in this icy layer.

  Ji Ning's body had been tempered by the icy aura of the million-year-old ice for a long time, and his cultivation base in cold aura had risen to the 8th level. That was why he could grow so fast at first, but as he progressed, his growth became slower and slower. Some people with poor potential might not even have any hope of reaching the next level.

  "Hmm?" Ji Ning looked at Mu Zixiao not far away.

  Muzi slowly opened his eyes.

  "It's done," said Ji Ning.

  "Hmm." Muzi Shuo's eyes had a joyful color.

  "Wood." Qingqing said. "I've prepared a gift for you, as a congratulatory gift for successfully cultivating Hanjie."

  "A gift? For me?" Mu Zishuo was suddenly astonished.

  "Uh-huh." Qingqing nodded with satisfaction, and a small wooden box appeared in her palm.

  Ji Ning looked at this small wooden box and suddenly covered her forehead.

  "Look." Qingqing opened the wooden box.

  "Ten thousand years of icy cold!" Mu Zishuo suddenly exclaimed, his entire body and mind had been frozen in an icy chill, even his spirit couldn't be distracted in the slightest. Naturally, he hadn't noticed the conversation around him either.

  Ji Ning glanced at it, and the 'delicate' wooden box's Millennium Ice was only half a foot long.

  Qing Qing glanced at Ji Ning and blinked her eyes.

  "How can I accept this..." Mu Zishuo continued to decline.

  "Just take it." Ji Ning stood up, "Take it and we'll hurry off to the next location of the Earth Fire Vein."

  Next to that cold and stern vein, only about half of the original amount was left. Ji Ning could have gone to find other Wanxiang True Immortals to make a deal... However, in the two group battles at the Great Wilderness Prison Mountain, once against six Wanxiang True Immortals and once against over ten Wanxiang Great Demons, let Ji Ning suddenly understand that his current strength was enough to obtain treasures when adventuring outside. It wasn't necessary to waste time and effort to make a deal with one or two Wanxiang True Immortals... On a desolate mountain peak, there was a Primordial Small Demon squatting guard.

  "The Great King ordered us to patrol each mountain peak, searching for that human cultivator. The vast wilderness of the Prison Mountain is so large, who knows where that human cultivator went? I've been squatting on this mountain peak for a long time, how lucky can I be to run into him?" A yellow-haired demon leaned against a large rock. As a pre-heavenly demon, even in places like Yan Mountain, he could only look up to the aristocratic clans, and in the Prison Mountain wilderness, he was considered nothing more than a small demon.

  "These two young men from different tribes actually made the Dragon Whale King suffer a great loss." Huang Faoyou still clearly remembered the contents of that beast skin letter.

  By the Water Seal Technique, the beast skin letter that Long Qi Wang had sent out at first was copied into thousands and tens of thousands of copies. All the pre-heavenly little demons saw it and remembered it firmly.

  Whoosh!

  In the distance, clouds and fog suddenly flashed a ray of light flying down, swooping towards a nearby desolate mountain.

  "That's it!" The blonde demon was suddenly shocked, took a closer look, and showed a surprised expression, "No mistake, it's the Dragon Head Warship."

  Only to see the dragon-headed warship flying to the back of the desolate mountain, three figures appeared, namely Ji Ning, Mu Zishuo and Qingqing, and following them, the three disappeared into thin air.

  ……

  "It's just that desolate mountain, there aren't many monsters around it, they're all just small ones that are nothing to be afraid of." Qingqing said.

  The dragon-headed warship dived down immediately.

  Ji Ning also released his divine sense to cover a range of nearly three hundred miles around him, which was also the current limit of Ji Ning's exploration. Upon taking a look... indeed, within hundreds of miles were only some minor demons, and barely one that could possibly be a Purple Mansion demon, who was still in a secret chamber cultivating.

  "Go."

  He directly cast his escape technique and entered the belly of the mountain in the wilderness.

  The green mountain in front guides the way: "Along this cave entrance, we will soon arrive at the underground river. We walk along the underground river and it won't take long to see that earth fire vein."

  Indeed.

  A moment later, in the dimly lit underground, next to an underground river, on the other side of the depths was a fissure about two zhang wide, and at the fissure, a golden flame was flickering outward.

  "Terrestrial Flame Pulse." Ji Ning's eyes lit up, "It should be... Golden Flame Terrestrial Fire!"

  Ji Ning immediately distinguished it.

  "This is also a good land fire." Ji Ning's heart was very pleased, and he immediately looked down at the deep fissure below, where the rolling hot magma flowed, and the golden flames of the land fire appeared on the edge of the magma. It was normal for the land fire to appear on the edge of the magma. But when Ji Ning saw this magma... he didn't know why, but suddenly his heart skipped a beat!

  A faint sense of threat, it is a kind of feeling that the soul is vaguely aware of, warning oneself.

  Ji Ning turned his head and stopped looking at the lava flow, and that sense of threat instantly disappeared.

  "Could there be a fragmented space below?" Ji Ning thought to herself.

  It's common to see distorted spatial cracks, and there will be a faint palpitation in places like the Prison Mountain Great Wilderness... Encountering such situations is too common.

  "You two mustn't enter the magma. Especially you, Xiao Qing, don't go wandering in." Ji Ning instructed.

  "Don't enter the magma?" Qingqing looked at Jining.

  Ji Ning nodded: "There should be spatial rifts and the like, so let's be careful. Right. This time I'm collecting earth fire, it may take a lot longer. Because there is cold evil in my body, collecting earth fire now requires even more caution. I estimate it will take at least three or four days, or as long as five or six days." Ji Ning then sat down cross-legged beside the golden flame of the earth fire vein.

  "Hand it over." Qing said.

  "Elder brother, you can rest assured, I'll go and set up the formation now." Mu Zishuo also said.

  They first set up a warning array in the belly of the mountain, and then set up a second maze around the Golden Flame Earth Fire Pulse within a range of several miles.

  Ji Ning sat cross-legged on the ground.

  A mouthful, under Yuan Li's enveloping power, a wisp of golden flame was directly absorbed into his body by Ji Ning.

  Earth fire and cold evil are diametrically opposed, because the cold evil has already been planted in the body before, so now absorbing the earth fire must be even more careful... Once a mistake is made, the earth fire explodes and collides with the cold evil, boom! Even if Ji Ning relies on his divine magic to cultivate his body, he won't die. The Purple Mansion space might also be completely destroyed.

  Even if you're lucky and Zi Fu isn't destroyed, it'll still be severely damaged, and even if you're like Father, cultivating Qi to ascend forever won't make the slightest progress.

  Ke Ji Ning couldn't give up just because of this extremely low probability of danger. The path to immortality was always about fighting for a thread of hope.

  ……

  Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

  The little demon born with it hurried back to report. Later, the purple house monster personally went to 'Long Jinshan' to inform.

  "Report to Dragon Whale King, this is the map. Three days ago, the human that Dragon Whale King wanted to kill went here." The black-haired bear demon standing below said respectfully.

  "Here?"

  The dragon whale demon king sat high on his throne, looking at the map in his hand, and soon understood the location.

  "Alright, go back and tell your old wolf family that he helped me this time. I've taken note of it." The Dragon Whale King's voice rumbled.

  "Yes." The black-haired bear demon replied respectfully and immediately retreated.

  The dragon whale demon king's eyes were filled with killing intent, and the aura on his body was more than ten times stronger than before. After becoming a Yuan Shen Da Yao... his strength had increased greatly.

  "Big Brother." The two wild ox demons standing beside him looked at Dragon Whale Demon King.

  "I'll go kill that little demon child. You two brothers take care of Long Que Mountain for now." The Dragon Whale Demon King instructed.

  "Don't worry, big brother, we've got everything under control here." The two wild ox demons responded in unison.

  "Then let's have a celebratory drink when I get back."

  The dragon whale demon king let out a loud laugh, and his figure disappeared in the cave mansion. Soon after, a green light broke through the air and disappeared into the distance.

  ……

  On a green leaf stood three true immortals of the Wanxiang sect, flying amidst the clouds and mist.

  "Winter, Brother Yi, have you arrived at the place where that earth fire pulse is located?" A black-clothed bald woman beside him urged in a loud voice. The bald woman's face had red floral patterns, looking eerie and strange.

  "Don't worry, both of you. We've all sworn an oath to the heavens, what's there to be anxious about?" Winter, dressed in a golden robe, smiled and said, "The location of the Earth Fire Pulse is extremely secretive... even the mountain belly is unusually secretive, I was only able to discover it due to a coincidence, I believe that for a short period of time, no one will find out."

  Winter is in a great mood.

  Because he used that one vein of earth fire to exchange for many treasures, of course now it's just an agreement, both parties have made a heavenly oath. Only when they really arrive at the earth fire vein will the other party give it to him.

  "We're here, down at that low hill over there." Dong pointed downwards, and through the clouds and mist, they could vaguely see a small, low hill. "That kind of desolate and low hill, not even a monster would bother to be on it, it's really unremarkable."

  Next to them were two Wanjing Zhenren, a man and a woman, who also had expectation in their eyes.

  "Follow me." Dong Yizong said, and then drove the flying treasure down towards the lower realm.
