Chapter 480 The Four Meet
When Yunxi and Xunkun appeared above the large white spaceship of the Extreme Cold Sect, Hanlian and Yunchen Buddha also appeared on the deck at the same time.

"Ranxi, Xunkun, you've arrived!"

Once Hanlian confirmed that the two were the people she was waiting for, she waved her sleeve to open the spaceship's protective shield and invited them aboard.

After Yunxi and Xunkun landed on the deck of the spaceship, they exchanged a few pleasantries and were then invited into the cabin.

Once the four figures had disappeared, the disciples of the Extreme Cold Sect on the deck began to whisper among themselves:
"See that? The one in the red robe is Venerable Ranxi from the Haoran Sect, and the one next to her in the black robe and mask should be Venerable Xunkun from the Kunmo Sect. They both became newly promoted Nascent Soul Venerables through this competition!"

"I saw them! I saw them! Their auras are clearly extraordinary. But something went wrong in this Nascent Soul stage competition. How did they advance to the Deity Transformation stage in such a short time?"

"I don't know either. I only remember that the Nascent Soul True Monarchs who participated in the competition were all sucked into the Mountain and River Scroll. What happened after that is unknown. But I remember that explosion very clearly. If it weren't for the intervention of the Nascent Soul Ancestors from various regions, the Immortal Transformation Sect would probably have been destroyed."

"Your information is far too outdated. I am on good terms with a Golden Core cultivator from the Immortal Transformation Sect. It is said that the evil cultivators set up a trap in advance to kill the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Five Domains. In the end, the ones who survived are those cultivators who advanced to the Divine Transformation stage in the Mountain and River Scroll."

A collective gasp immediately rose from the surroundings, and one of the female cultivators whispered:
"No wonder I only saw two newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators after boarding the spaceship. I didn't see any of the other Nascent Soul cultivators from the sect who participated in the competition. Could it be that, as you said, they all died in the Mountain and River Scroll?"

"That should be it. Didn't you notice that the ancestor hasn't shown up since boarding the ship?"

"This sect has lost six Nascent Soul cultivators."

A long silence followed on the deck; the joy of the Extreme Cold Sect disciples upon seeing the newly promoted Nascent Soul Venerable was instantly extinguished.

Back in the cabin, the four sat together, listening to Han Lian recount the situation in the "Misty Snowfield" and the power of the polar gale belt.

“The ‘Ethereal Snow Realm’ opens once every 150 years. This secret realm restricts cultivation levels, and only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage can enter. Moreover, the entrance is not fixed each time, and finding the entrance and entering successfully depends on individual luck.”

About five hundred years ago, the entrance to the 'Misty Snowfield' opened in the polar gale belt, and the Nascent Soul cultivators who were not capable of entering the polar gale belt at that time missed this opportunity.

However, a very small number of cultivators did venture into the polar gales, but whether these cultivators successfully entered the secret realm or left alive remains unknown.

Therefore, when Master learned that the entrance to the 'Misty Snowfield' was once again located in the polar gale belt, he did not approve of our adventure, because this time the entrance was located even deeper within the polar gale belt.

As Yunxi listened to Hanlian's account, she matched this information with what she had found in the "Hive," and suddenly raised an eyebrow, saying:

"Hanlian, after hearing what you said, I think the 'Misty Snowfield' should have a spirit."

Han Lian nodded after hearing Yun Xi's words:

"Yes, that's what Master said too. Moreover, the last time the entrance to the secret realm opened in the polar gale belt, it was precisely when the battle between the Weiyu Realm and the evil cultivators was escalating. That's why the spirit of the realm opened the entrance in the dangerous northern region, so that it would neither violate the timing of the secret realm's opening nor bring the struggle between good and evil into the secret realm."

“Amitabha! This kind of self-contained secret realm must have developed self-awareness. Seeking advantage and avoiding harm is their instinct, and their spiritual awareness is even more acute than that of cultivators.” Xun Kun said, holding his teacup.
"According to your analysis, the entrance to the 'Ethereal Snowfield' has opened deep within the polar gale belt again. Does this mean that the secret realm doesn't want cultivators to find and enter it this time? Is it still necessary for us to go?"

Yun Xi nodded and said:
“Xun Kun’s words make a lot of sense. Although the evil cultivators have not been making frequent moves recently, every move they make is a big one. This time, the Mountain and River Scroll was secretly controlled by the evil cultivators, which caused the deaths of many Nascent Soul cultivators. It is normal for the Realm Spirit to want to avoid it.”

Yunxi's words silenced the three of them. As those who had experienced it firsthand, they knew best what that feeling of powerlessness was like.

Han Lian gave a self-deprecating laugh, her usual carefree expression gone.

"Watching my companions self-destruct and perish before my eyes, all I could do was grit my teeth and persevere. I never thought about leaving the Mountain and River Scroll alive; I only thought about killing as many evil spirits as possible, so that their sacrifices wouldn't be in vain, that they wouldn't leave the sealed land, and that Dragon Fang wouldn't have a chance to escape."

"Amitabha! My thoughts were the same as Hanlian's at the time. As a Buddhist disciple of Yunmen Temple, if I were to self-destruct, I could definitely injure Longya and buy you more time."

Xun Kun tightened his grip on the teacup and continued:
"My Kunmo Sect cultivates through demonic means. As the only direct disciple of Venerable Linlang, I have mastered a soul-controlling technique. After self-destructing my nascent soul, I can preserve my soul. At that time, I will hand the Soul-Controlling Bell to the living. You can control my soul and continue to fight against evil spirits. The cultivators of the Kunmo Sect will maximize their advantages!"

After listening to the three of them, Yunxi knew that they had all been affected by the battle to some extent, so she took a deep breath and said:
"Now that we've survived, we must avenge our fallen comrades and eradicate the resurgent evil cultivators. We're not afraid of death, so why should we be afraid of failing to eliminate these evil cultivators?"

Han Lian immediately composed herself and raised her voice:

"Ranxi is right. Cultivation is going against the heavens. These are just tests from the heavens. Haven't we all successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage?"

“Amitabha! Fellow Daoist Ranxi is right. Don’t get stuck in past emotions. There are many things waiting for us to do.”

"Yes, back to the 'Ethereal Snowfield,' since the spirit of the realm doesn't want anyone to enter, should we still try?"

Yunxi said:
"Go! The polar gales are a dangerous place in the Northern Region. Consider this a training exercise. If we can't get through the gales, we won't even be able to find the entrance to the 'Misty Snowfield'!"

Han Lian immediately replied:
“Indeed, it’s too early to talk about these things now. Once you get to the Northern Region, the three of you will need to purchase some protective magic treasures. The Northern Region is an extremely cold place with snow all year round. Even cultivators would find it unbearable. Don’t be careless just because you have already reached the Nascent Soul stage. The ‘Misty Snow Region’ will be even colder than the Northern Region.”

"Understood. Fellow Daoist Hanlian, please help us find a reliable shop so we can purchase everything we need."

"Of course, the Northern Region is my territory, so I will naturally do my best to be a good host."

On the Haoran Sect's spaceship returning to the Western Regions, Sheng Yuhong encountered Wei Yunqing, who had come out for some fresh air, on the deck. He politely bowed and then prepared to return to his cabin. He didn't want to see his former junior sister, now his senior uncle.
