Chapter 512 Waiting for the opportunity
"Qingzhuo was lucky to meet a benefactor who guided him through a life-threatening ordeal, allowing him to peacefully cultivate with me."

"Oh? Your esteemed guest, may I ask who your beloved disciple's benefactor is?"

Su Qingzhuo did not answer, but looked at his master.

Feng Fen nodded, and Su Qingzhuo then spoke:

"I was lucky to have met Venerable Ranxi of the Haoran Sect."

After receiving this unexpected yet expected answer, Mingjia asked Feng Fen and his apprentice to sit down before speaking:

"Fellow Daoist Fengfen, you must know why I've come. Would you be willing to cast a divination?"

Feng Fen sighed and said:

"Venerable Mingjia, has your sect received the message from the upper realm?"

Mingjia was not surprised that Fengfen knew about this, and readily admitted it:
"Yes, the ancestor of our sect who ascended to the upper realm sent down his natal sword, asking us to guard the Weiyu Realm. However, we do not want to be too passive and want to send someone up to take a look."

Feng Fen shook his head and said:
“Venerable Mingjia, this matter is beyond my calculation. However, the founding ancestor of the Tianyun Sect did cast a divination and predicted that there would be a calamity in the Weiyu Realm. But what you are talking about will have to wait for the right opportunity.”

"When the time is right, whoever ascends will only benefit the sect and the Weiyu Realm, bringing no harm whatsoever."

Mingjia stroked the jade cup in his hand, lowered his eyes to ponder the meaning of Fengfen's words, and after a moment he looked up and said:
"How long will it take to reach this opportunity?"

Feng Fen smiled meaningfully and said:
"Once the crisis in the 'Misty Snowfield' of the Northern Region is resolved, that opportunity will not be far off."

Mingjia seemed to have grasped something, yet also seemed to have grasped nothing, but he still nodded and said:

"I will keep an eye on the matter of the 'Ethereal Snowfield,' and I hope that day is not too far away from us."

Feng Fen nodded and said:
"The Famous Sword Sect is the largest sect in the Western Regions and also the strongest in terms of combat power. I hope you will make preparations in advance and not be caught off guard by the evil cultivators."

Mingjia's eyes flashed and he said:

"Alright, I understand."

After finishing their business, Mingjia took out a jade slip from his storage ring and used his spiritual power to push it to Su Qingzhuo, who was listening intently to their conversation:
"This is my first time meeting your beloved disciple, so consider this sword technique a gift. Although it's not particularly exquisite, it's more than enough for self-defense and killing enemies."

Su Qingzhuo was stunned for a moment, then looked at his master again.

Feng Fen immediately cupped his hands and said:
"It is Qingzhuo's good fortune to be able to obtain a sword technique from the Mingjian Sect."

After saying that, he turned to Su Qingzhuo and said:

"You silly boy, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and come to thank the Venerable One."

Su Qingzhuo immediately accepted the jade slip with both hands and then respectfully thanked Venerable Mingjia.

Mingjia waved his hand, got up and took his leave. He had achieved his purpose and was going back to his sect to make preparations.

Once Su Qingzhuo was certain that Venerable Mingjia's figure had completely disappeared, he asked in a low voice:
"Master, what does the timing you mentioned have to do with the 'Mysterious Snowfield'?"

Recently, the Su family also received news from the Northern Region that the entrance to the "Ethereal Snowfield," which opens only once every 150 years, is located in the polar gale belt this time.

However, an anomaly occurred in the polar gale belt, sweeping all the cultivators who entered it into the central area. After that, these cultivators disappeared without a trace. Currently, it can only be confirmed that the soul lamps of some of the cultivators who were swept into it have not been extinguished.

Su Qingzhuo was quite shocked when he received the news. After all, the cultivators who could enter the polar gale belt were at least at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which could be considered high-level cultivators. If they were all missing, they were obviously trapped in a place that was difficult to leave.

Feng Fen did not answer his foolish disciple's question, but only vaguely said:
"We'll see the outcome once 'Ethereal Snowfield' closes."

After hearing this in the shadows, Ming Jiayin quickly disappeared from the spot.

Before Mingjia returned to Mingjian Sect, he encountered Minghong. "Senior Brother Mingjia, Haohui from Haoran Sect came to the sect to see you. I told him about the ancestor sending back his natal sword, and he agreed to arrange for someone to ascend up and investigate the specific battle situation in the Spirit Realm. I told him I would wait for you to return before discussing it further."

Mingjia nodded and said:
“That’s good. I’ve already met with Feng Fen from the Heavenly Fortune Sect. He said the time isn’t right yet and we should wait. The specific timing will become clear after the ‘Ethereal Snowfield’ closes.”

"In that case, I will reply to Haohui in this way."

"can."

Mingjia then entered the back mountain of the Famous Sword Sect.

Hao Hui, who had successfully returned to Hao Ran Sect, also shared the fresh news with Hao Yi, Hao Yan, and Hao Qing.

Haoyi rubbed his temples and said:
"So that's why we lost contact with the upper realm. It turns out they've already started fighting."

Hao Yan narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and said:
"The seniors of the Famous Swords Sect went so far as to send their natal swords down to the mortal realm. Besides conveying a message, the most important thing they were doing was to warn us."

Haoqing, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement:

"It seems that the evil cultivators have a purpose in harboring their wicked intentions towards the Weiyu Realm. Otherwise, they would not be so persistent. Since their defeat last time, they have spent a hundred years laying out their plans. Their ambitions must be enormous."

Haohui nodded silently; he felt the same way.

Haoyi waved his hand and said:

"In any case, we must prepare in advance and not sit idly by and wait for our demise."

Yu Ling then received the news, and Sect Leader Yu Geng received a series of new orders. Hao Ran Sect began to operate at high speed again, and the sect leader's second disciple, Zhou Lingchuan, was also extremely busy.

Misty Snowfield
Yunxi and her group were unaware of what was happening outside the secret realm. At this time, they were not far from the center of the secret realm, but Bai Feng, contrary to his usual behavior, was unwilling to follow them into the central area.

Han Lian patted Bai Feng's big head and asked:
Why don't you want to go in?

Bai Feng replied:

"This place is forbidden territory for the snow beasts in our secret realm. Any beast that enters here will never appear in the secret realm again. I won't accompany you any longer. I'll wait for you on the outer perimeter. If any small fry appear, I'll help you deal with them."

After saying that, he patted his chest to assure him.

Yunxi smiled and said:

"Hanlian, don't force Baifeng. It's better for it to stay outside. If any escapees get away, its strength can hold them back. We can't let any evil cultivator get away."

Han Lian nodded helplessly. This big guy absolutely refused to go in, and there was nothing she could do about it, since they had entered into an equal contract.

Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple, spoke up to remind him:

"Amitabha! Let's prepare to enter the Land of No Spirits."

Yunxi nodded, her divine sense wandered around the space, and she took out four storage pendants, which she distributed to the three of them. She instructed her companions to put their important items inside, such as spirit stones, pills, talismans, and array plates, to ensure their safety.

Yunxi thought for a moment, then stuffed the Capsule Magic House, the Hong Energy Shield, and the Seven Star Deadly Staff into her storage pendant. She also added some spirit stones, talismans, and energy-restoring potions, filling the storage pendant to the brim. She knew she had to be fully armed before getting into a fight.

Because the storage space in the storage pendant was limited, the three of them selected the most important items and stuffed them into it. After checking it again to make sure everything was in order, they continued on their way in the direction Bai Feng had pointed.

As the group of four approached the center, the wind and snow lessened, and they did not encounter any powerful snow beasts. Half a day later, the four stopped in front of a wall of white mist.
