"At this rate of consumption, the White Jade Shield can only last halfway, I need to activate the Guardian Technique. My Frost Spirit Power is being consumed at a speed several times faster in this scorching magma environment, if it were Lava Root, it would be like a fish in water."

  Qin Lingyun sped forward while thinking of Young Master Zhao Xiang, that former jade-like nobleman who was now a man filled with hatred.

  "At first, I just wanted to get some medicinal materials from the treasure trove under the Nu River. I thought it would only take a short time and I could return, but later something unexpected happened, more than ten years have passed, and I'm still in Tianxuan realm, without returning to Shi Yue realm."

  Qin Lingyun suddenly felt a surge of emotion to return to Xi Yue Realm, her home was in Xi Yue Realm, and she was like a wandering child drifting outside, although most cultivators were emotionally numb, but she was still young, not those old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years, her family was something she couldn't bear to part with.

  "Alright, this time I'll wait until I leave the Huangji Sealing Heaven Tower, then think of a way to return to Xi Yue Realm. Zhao Wujie and the others didn't come from Xi Yue Realm to here, which means it's not that difficult to get back to Xi Yue Realm from Tian Xuan Realm."

  Qin Lingyun proceeded forward, with many cultivators below staring at her actions. This time, over a thousand cultivators had entered the Huangji Fengtian Tower, including those from the Tianxuan and Shiming realms. They were all of high status, either born into noble families or being elite disciples of large sects. Loose cultivators would not be able to enter, yet Qin Lingyun was the sole exception.

  Apart from the thousands of cultivators, there were also four to five hundred demon clansmen. They all only had a first-grade cultivation base and hadn't reached the stage of transformation yet. Afraid that the cultivators would massacre them, they all gathered in one place at the foot of the volcano.

  Even if there were only four or five hundred of these demonic beasts, their strength was not weak. Compared to demons and humans of the same rank, they had an advantage, but this also varied from person to person and couldn't be generalized.

  Qin Lingyun was about to arrive at the waist of the volcano, and the protective shield of the white jade small shield was getting weaker and weaker. Qin Lingyun pinched her fingers, and a layer of pale yellow light rippled out from her body, instantly forming ten layers of air circles outside her body. On each layer of pale yellow protective shield, there were dragon and tiger shapes swirling around.

  Below, many of the masters had a glimmer in their eyes, they were all connoisseurs, and the defensive spell used by Qin Lingyun was at least a terrestrial rank spell, to cultivate a terrestrial rank spell in the refining period, this is a remarkable thing. So many masters secretly guessed in their hearts, what identity that female cultivator had.

  But they will ultimately be disappointed, because Qin Lingyun is just an ordinary loose cultivator, how can he possibly guess the history.

  After activating the Guardian Technique, Qin Lingyun felt a significant reduction in pressure. However, the Guardian Technique consumed more spiritual energy than using the White Jade Small Shield. The White Jade Small Shield was a magical artifact that only required a small amount of spiritual energy to activate, whereas the Guardian Technique was a spell that relied entirely on spiritual energy to power its protective barrier. Moreover, the higher the level of the spell, the more spiritual energy it consumed.

  As she walked forward a short distance from the mountain waist, Qin Lingyun suddenly felt that all the flames around her had disappeared. She was overjoyed to find that the lava on the road ahead was just an illusion.

  "The golden beast is right, indeed many of the magma are just illusions. I reckon the top of the volcano doesn't have any magma at all. The so-called eruption of magma is also an illusion, otherwise who could enter the mouth of a volcano that's currently spewing fire?"

  Qin Lingyun immediately removed all the protective covers on her body, and with a burst of light, she rushed forward at high speed, several times faster than when she was in the magma earlier.

  The masters below were initially stunned when they saw this situation, but soon someone came to their senses, and various colored shields lit up, with a group of people rushing upwards in a hurry.

  Qin Lingyun arrived at the mouth of the volcano, and the scene in front of her distorted, she had already entered a sealed stone house.

  The enclosed stone house had no doors or windows, all four walls were made of rock, with only a shimmering array of Buddhist symbols in the middle.

  "It seems I've come to the right place, this is indeed the magic array leading to the second floor. It looks like the first floor isn't that difficult after all."

  In fact, Qin Lingyun did not know that among the many cultivators outside, there were quite a few who had turned their bodies into flying ash shortly after rushing into the magma. Their defensive abilities were not up to par, so they could not withstand it at all.

  Fortunately, most of the cultivators have made it through, and many who have truly witnessed the might of the Huangji Sealing Heaven Tower have become extremely cautious, with many thinking that if they can't make it, they will stop advancing.

  Qin Lingyun's eyes scanned the stone room, apart from a formation array, there was also a huge and strange statue, which was a six-armed demon with a ferocious appearance, carved extremely realistically, made of some kind of jade.

  Qin Lingyun cautiously walked up to the three-person-high carving, when suddenly a voice sounded in her ear: "This is actually carved out of a whole piece of Chi Hong crystal stone. Chi Hong crystal stone is an excellent material for refining equipment. Outside, even if it's as small as a fingernail, you can't exchange it for top-grade spiritual equipment. I estimate that only mid-grade precious equipment can be exchanged for it."

  A blue light flew out of the storage bag, and it turned out to be Xingdi, who had not appeared for a long time.

  After seeing the green-clothed youth last time, Xingdi hid in the storage bag and didn't come out even when Qin Lingyun called him. He hid in the fiery red feathers and didn't respond to Qin Lingyun's calls at all.

  Now I don't know why it suddenly flew out.

  Seeing Qin Lingyun's astonished eyes, Xingdi's sharp and handsome face revealed a hint of bitter smile: "I've been in a deep sleep for some time. That day when I saw that person, he just glanced at me once and consumed seven or eight-tenths of my soul body's power, almost dispersing it. Now I've finally recovered."

  Qin Lingyun's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and she said that after such a long time together, she had already gotten used to the existence of Xingdi. This period of time without his incessant chatter, she really couldn't get used to it.

  "It's all right now, I was just about to ask you, what kind of cultivator is that young man in green clothes?"

  "An immortal? No, that man in green was never an immortal." Xing Di sneered.

  "Isn't he a Master? Then what is he, a Grandmaster? Or some kind of monster?" Qin Lingyun said.

  "Wait and see, you first take away this statue, this is the reward given to you by the Huangji Seal Heaven Tower." Xingdi's expression moved slightly.

  Qin Lingyun slapped the storage bag without hesitation, a red light shot out from the opening of the bag, enveloping the entire statue, and then the entire statue quickly shrank and actually entered the storage bag.

  "It really can be stored." Qin Lingyun still trusted Xingdi, but seeing such a large statue could actually be stored in the storage bag, she couldn't help feeling some surprise.

  "Hurry up and leave the first floor for the second floor. You're lucky that only one person has arrived here, so hurry up and leave." The Star Emperor urged with a mouthful of words.

  Qin Lingyun's body moved, and she arrived at the transmission array in a flash of lightning. Standing on it, she quickly activated the formation, and a burst of light flashed, her body had already disappeared from its original place.

  She blinked and found herself in a snowy environment.

  Under her feet was smooth ice, above her head was also an icicle, all around were interconnected ice carvings, this was a complete ice cave and an ice and snow corridor. She was at the very top, behind her was a closed ice wall, she could only move forward.

  However, Qin Lingyun was delighted in her heart. She cultivated the power of cold ice, and in an icy environment, it was the most advantageous terrain. Her cold ice power absorbed the surrounding cold air and quickly recovered.

  "The ice here is extremely cold, probably over ten thousand years old. If you cultivate in such an environment, your cultivation can grow rapidly. Unfortunately, you are already at the 12th layer of Qi Refining, Grand Completion Realm. It would be great if you could break through Qi Refining and enter the Foundation Building Realm." Star Emperor sighed.

  After Golden Little Beast proved that it wasn't an illusion nearby, Qin Lingyun carefully swept her divine sense around and then rushed forward.

  "Hey, Xingdi, you haven't told me what status that person in green clothes has yet."

  "Alright, I'll tell you. That man in green isn't a cultivator or an alchemist, and of course he's not human either - he's a demon." said Xingdi.

  Qin Lingyun was shocked: "The man in green is a demon, what is his true form? What level of cultivator is he?"

  Xingdi said: "In my opinion, the usual method used by the man in green is the Five-Colored Divine Light, so it's very likely that he is one of the top-notch demon clans from ancient times. Among the flying bird-type demons, there are some top-notch species, such as the Phoenix, Heavy Bright Bird, Three-Legged Golden Crow, Jingwei Bird, Golden Winged Dapeng, Peacock and so on."

  Xingdi continued: "The man in green is using the Five-Colored Divine Light, which should be the strongest divine ability of the Peacock Clan, the Five-Colored Divine Light. It's said that nothing can withstand it, and it's one of the most invincible divine abilities."

  Qin Lingyun said: "So the man in green is the Peacock's true form?"

  Xingdi said: "I'm just guessing, can't be 100% sure, that green-robed person is at least a Void Immortal who has passed the Heavenly Tribulation. As for what level of Void Immortal he is, I couldn't see it clearly. One thing is certain, he's definitely not a True Immortal, True Immortals have already ascended to the Immortal Realm."

  "Aren't you saying that even true immortals don't know if it exists or not? So, does the Immortal Realm really exist?" Qin Lingyun's lips slightly curled up.

  "It's a legend," said Xingdi. "The legend goes like this."

  Qin Lingyun suddenly laughed lightly: "Xing Emperor Zushi, old antique, it's really strange that you don't call yourself 'old man' anymore?"

  Xingdi said with a start: "You've discovered all this? Alright, I don't want to seem too old-fashioned, I won't call myself 'old man' anymore. From now on, we'll treat each other as equals, that's better."

  Qin Lingyun said: "Although you are already over 10,000 years old, as long as you don't think of yourself as old, and your heart is not old, then the person is not old."

  Qin Lingyun couldn't help but mutter to herself, "With a face so handsome and refined, why call yourself 'old man'? It's always felt awkward, finally changed."
