Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 789 - 788: Heading North to Extreme Wilderness City!

Kunlun is divided into five regions: East, West, South, North, and Central.

These five regions include thirty-six countries in the Southern Heaven. The Western Wilderness has the Twelve Demon Sects, the East Sea has the Star Gathering Scattered Island, and the Central Domain has three major dynasties. As for the Extreme North, it’s where the Ice and Snow Divine Palace is located.

"Is this the Extreme North?"

On the desolate frozen ground, appeared three humans and a demon, a peculiar team.

These were Ye Qingchen and his companions.

After leaving the Taotian Palace, Ye Qingchen didn’t stop, heading all the way north. At first, it was like spring all year round, but when he truly approached the north, he could feel the omnipresent extreme cold.

By the time they reached this place, it was even more desolate, with sparse vegetation, the ground like ice blocks, firm and solid underfoot.

Han Buxiu had never left the Southern Heaven, and the Three-tailed Fox was completely ignorant about the Kunlun Realm, so everyone’s eyes turned to Zheng Jiuling. Seeing everyone looking at him, Zheng Jiuling quickly responded:

"Mr. Ye, this is only at most the outskirts of the Extreme North. We are still a hundred and forty thousand miles from the true Extreme North!"

"Oh, really?" Ye Qingchen gazed into the distance, pondering, "So, we are still far from the Ice and Snow Divine Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiuling’s body trembled, and with a horrified expression, he stammered, "Mr. Ye, is it really your intention to seek the Ice and Snow Divine Palace? That place is off-limits!"

"What’s the matter?"

Ye Qingchen furrowed his brow slightly.

Han Buxiu also looked on in surprise.

Though Zheng Jiuling feared death, he had never seen him so frightened.

Only to hear Zheng Jiuling timidly saying:

"Mr. Ye, it’s said that the Ice and Snow Divine Palace is located at the deepest part of the Extreme North, a sect composed entirely of women. The Divine Palace is isolated from the world; ordinary people can’t possibly find it. Without a guide, even Earth Immortals would struggle to reach it!"

Zheng Jiuling’s face turned pale with fear.

Oh my!

This little ancestor, why on earth has he set his sights on the Ice and Snow Divine Palace?

"Even you can’t find it?" Ye Qingchen asked in a deep voice.

"Can’t find it!" Zheng Jiuling shook his head vigorously, "The Ice and Snow Divine Palace is the most mysterious sect in the Extreme North; if it weren’t for their disciples traveling outside, hardly anyone in the Kunlun Realm would have heard of this power!"

At this, Han Buxiu solemnly said, "I’ve also heard Ye Xu Kong say that the Ice and Snow Divine Palace is extremely powerful, even the Taotian Palace pales in comparison!"

"Mr. Ye, why do you want to find the Ice and Snow Divine Palace?" Zheng Jiuling cautiously asked, "Could it be that..."

"I have no grudge with the Ice and Snow Divine Palace; it’s just that on the Barbaric Continent, my sister was taken away by them!" Ye Qingchen said lightly.

Back at the battle of the Abyssal Valley.

He was on the brink of death.

Ye Qing agreed to Yu Feixuan to join the Ice and Snow Divine Palace in exchange for saving his life.

"So that’s how it is!" Zheng Jiuling let out a sigh of relief, his old face breaking into a smile, "Mr. Ye, you needn’t worry. Anyone who can enter the Ice and Snow Divine Palace must be a woman with exceptional qualities. It’s indeed a fortune that your sister could join the Ice and Snow Divine Palace."

"A fortune?"

Ye Qingchen smiled faintly, not agreeing nor disagreeing.

Seeing this, Zheng Jiuling quickly said, "Mr. Ye, we’re almost at Extreme Wilderness City. I have a few old friends there; they’re preparing to explore a big tomb. Shall we meet them?"

"So soon there’s news?" Ye Qingchen’s eyes lit up.

After leaving the Valley of Life and Death, Zheng Jiuling contacted some old partners he had tomb-raided with. However, having been suppressed in the Valley of Life and Death for two hundred years, those old partners had mostly died or dispersed.

Along the way, no one responded; Ye Qingchen hadn’t hoped for much, yet unexpectedly, there was a reply.

"Alright, let’s meet them then!" Ye Qingchen nodded; after all, matters concerning the Ice and Snow Divine Palace couldn’t be rushed. Moreover, Zheng Jiuling, isolated in the Valley of Life and Death for two hundred years, might find that his companions know secrets about the Ice and Snow Divine Palace.

Meanwhile, the group changed their route towards Extreme Wilderness City.

On the way, Zheng Jiuling explained in detail:

"We happened to get lucky! Recently, in Extreme Wilderness City, a buyer unintentionally discovered a Tombstone. Unsure of its origin, they began to seek out help! If correct, it should be an Earth Immortal’s tomb."

Ye Qingchen nodded.

No wonder there was news so quickly.

In less than half a day, the group entered the city and, led by Zheng Jiuling, arrived at a mansion. The mansion seemed ordinary, with nothing peculiar, but within it was an array, transforming the place into spring all year round, full of blooming flowers.

Inside the main hall, a group of people was already seated. An old man with a sinister aura on the main seat smiled and said, "Zheng Jiuling, it’s really you!"

The sinister old man, though exuding coldness, was more deathly than lively. His cultivation appeared to be only two or threefold Human Immortal, seemingly affected by frequent tomb raids.

The other few elders present shared similar auras, showing that these people regularly dealt with ancient tombs.

"Hmm!"

Before Zheng Jiuling could speak, a person sitting above in a Master’s Chair sneered, "Zheng Jiuling, you dare to tomb raid again? Aren’t you afraid that Taotian Palace will capture and suppress you for another two hundred years?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiuling’s face darkened, and he coldly snorted:

"Rong Chuanlin, don’t be arrogant in front of me. Without me, who knows how many times you would’ve died in a tomb, yet you dare mock me here?"

"Heh, Zheng Jiuling, perhaps two hundred years ago, I might have feared you a little." Rong Chuanlin sneered disdainfully, glancing at Ye Qingchen and Han Buxiu, and mocked:

"And you’ve brought along these greenhorns? If you need people, I can lend you some!"

His face was dark, his aura elusive, making it hard to discern his roots.

Behind him stood over a dozen individuals, each with grand auras, clearly extraordinary, at least top-tier Human Immortal level.

"What did you say?"

Zheng Jiuling glared furiously.

Rong Chuanlin sneered, ignoring him entirely.

"Alright, I invited you here not to quarrel." At this moment, the middle-aged man on the main seat spoke slowly, "Since Mr. Zheng is here, please have a seat!"

Zheng Jiuling hurriedly looked at Ye Qingchen; with Ye Qingchen’s strength, he could easily silence these men, but unfortunately, Ye Qingchen remained unmoved. With everyone’s persuasion, Zheng Jiuling finally relented.

After being seated, Zheng Jiuling started explaining to Ye Qingchen.

The insulter just now was Rong Chuanlin, a highly sinister individual who committed numerous atrocious deeds. For a Human Immortal Tomb, he even betrayed his own father in a tomb. Yet, perhaps as karma, his children died young, never reaching adulthood.

Zheng Jiuling had once partnered with him in tomb raids, saving his life multiple times. But despite that, when Rong Chuanlin triggered an array during a tomb raid, had Zheng Jiuling not been alert, he would’ve perished long ago.

Thus, enmity naturally formed between them.

The man who spoke last is Tang Yue, the buyer who discovered the Tombstone, and also the City Lord of Extreme Wilderness City!

"Alright, since everyone is here, I’ll briefly discuss the matters regarding this big tomb..." Tang Yue picked up his tea bowl, ready to signal his men to bring over the Tombstone.

Suddenly, Rong Chuanlin spoke again.

"Patriarch Tang, wait a moment!"

Under the curious gazes of everyone, Rong Chuanlin smiled cynically at Zheng Jiuling, "You’ve invited us to help with the tomb exploration. I have no objections to others. But Zheng Jiuling, I’m afraid, is not up to par!"

"He was suppressed by Taotian Palace for two hundred years; how much skill does he have left, I don’t know. But just look at the kids behind him, are they capable of undertaking such important work?"

Whoosh!

In that instant, everyone’s gaze fell upon Han Buxiu behind Zheng Jiuling...

And.

Ye Qingchen!
