People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 263 Ice Lord

When strange phenomena appear in the world, they can be attributed to one of three main reasons.

Firstly, when a high-grade elixir is successfully refined, a lightning bolt will strike.

In the current Dou Qi Continent, alchemists are prevalent, which is also one of the most common celestial phenomena.

Secondly, a cultivator breaks through to an extremely profound realm.

However, such a situation is extremely rare, since those who can reach this level are as rare as morning stars throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent.

The third type is the emergence of Heaven-rank cultivation techniques or combat skills.

The birth mentioned here does not refer to the reappearance of something long forgotten, but rather to a true creation from nothing, a combat technique that has never appeared before.

For example, the creation of entirely new cultivation techniques!
Whenever someone creates a Heaven-rank cultivation technique or combat skill, it will cause a change in the world.

At this moment, there was no fragrance of pills wafting from the sky, which clearly indicated that a high-grade pill had not been produced, and the second possibility could also be ruled out.

Although the Valley Master of Huangfeng Valley could not fathom Chen Xiao's strength, the extraordinary phenomena caused by his breakthrough were more about the convergence and vibration of energy, rather than the magnificent landscape and snow-covered landscapes that were happening now.

Therefore, the only possibility that fits is the last one.

A Heavenly Rank fighting technique or cultivation method may have been born!

The Valley Master of Huangfeng Valley was quite knowledgeable. In just a few breaths, he roughly deduced the source of the strange phenomenon based on the clues.

His gaze was fixed on where Chen Xiao was, and even though he had experienced countless storms, his face was now full of solemnity and shock.

Creating one's own Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques and combat skills—how difficult is that?
Looking across the mainland, there are only a handful of people below the Dou Sheng level who can achieve this!
Could it be that the seemingly young senior is actually an old monster who has lived for countless years?

A surge of emotion welled up within me, but this was quickly followed by a deep sense of worry.

Because such extraordinary celestial phenomena on such a large scale could not be kept secret from outsiders!

Although Huangfeng Valley is secluded, it still has its rivals.

Thousands of miles to the east of the Wanli Jinjiang River lies the Cangming Sect, another reclusive sect that has always coveted Huangfeng Valley.

"Elder Han, quickly report this matter to the Ancient Clan and ask them to come and confirm it. This time, I'm afraid only the Ancient Clan's voice can restore peace to Huangfeng Valley."

With a solemn expression, Yi Ziqian, the Valley Master of Huangfeng Valley, gave instructions to the elder who had met Chen Xiao once.

Heavenly-rank combat techniques are nothing special to ancient races, but they hold an irresistible attraction for these forces in the Central Continent.

Once this news gets out, it's foreseeable that the peace of Yellow Maple Valley will be shattered.

"Yes!" Elder Han bowed and replied, then hurried off to make the contact.

"Valley Master, can we survive this calamity?" An old man dressed in an alchemist's robe stepped forward, his eyes filled with worry.

The situation of Yellow Maple Valley was already bad, and now that it has become the focus of attention, it is very likely to be affected and eventually disappear.

Yi Ziqian shook his head. "I don't know. We can only see the attitude of the ancient clan and whether this senior is willing to take action."

What's done is done, and the die is cast.

Complaining and blaming others at this moment is useless; we can only do what we can to cope.

After all, the storms brought about by celestial phenomena could destroy Yellow Maple Valley, and Chen Xiao, whose strength is unknown, also has that ability.

Therefore, complaining is absolutely out of the question; we can only pray for the best.

...

Thousands of miles away from Huangfeng Valley, amidst towering peaks, lies a secluded sect.

That is the Cangming Sect.

In contrast to the lack of successors in Huangfeng Valley, the strength of Cangming Sect has been well maintained. Over the years, it has always had at least three Dou Zun powerhouses presiding over it.

Originally, like Huangfeng Valley, Cangming Sect chose to live in seclusion, avoiding trouble and refusing to cause any problems.

However, starting six months ago, this reclusive sect began to change its ways and started to show its fangs. It not only secretly annexed and controlled dozens of small and medium-sized forces in the vicinity, but also launched an attack on Huangfeng Valley, which is also a reclusive sect.

However, due to concerns about the ancient clans, the true masters of the Eastern Region, the Cangming Sect has not yet launched a major battle at the Dou Zun level.

That is why Huangfeng Valley, with only one Dou Zun, has been able to hold on until now.

After all, this kind of struggle is unremarkable and inconspicuous in the current chaotic environment of Zhongzhou.

At this moment, inside the main hall of the Cangming Sect.

A middle-aged man with a gloomy face sat in the main seat, flanked by more than a dozen powerful figures. Those qualified to discuss matters here were all at least high-level Dou Zong.

"Sect Master, the strange phenomena appearing in Huangfeng Valley indicate the emergence of a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique or fighting skill. Being in such a close position, we have the advantage. Since we are already locked in a life-or-death struggle, why don't we seize this opportunity?"

The speaker was an old man whose aura was sinister and terrifying; he was a genuine Dou Zun powerhouse.

The old man's words reflected the thoughts of all the elders.

The Cangming Sect had the advantage of location, so they were aware of the sudden outbreak of that strange phenomenon.

Therefore, taking action early will definitely provide a significant advantage.

Perhaps, by the time other forces realize what's happening, they will have already succeeded.

However, an hour had already passed, and the Cangming Sect Master still hadn't given the order, leaving many elders puzzled.

"Why should I explain my actions to you?"

Facing the questioning gazes of the elders, the middle-aged man in the main seat remained unconcerned, looking coldly at the old man who had spoken.

Inside the main hall, the atmosphere suddenly changed, causing many people to secretly hold their breath.

Fortunately, the old man eventually yielded under the pressure of the middle-aged man's imposing manner.

"Sect Master, please forgive me. It was I who overstepped my bounds."

Seeing the old man back down, the middle-aged man let out a cold laugh, his sinister aura slowly receding.

He glanced around at the elders who were bowing their heads and sneered, "The strange phenomena in Huangfeng Valley will surely attract the attention of the ancient clans, who may even send powerful experts to investigate. At this time, we must not cause any trouble, lest the ancient clans discover our sect's abnormality and delay important matters. Then no one will have an easy time!"

"First, send someone to keep an eye on Huangfeng Valley and see how the ancient clans react. You don't need to worry about others getting the benefits first. That old guy Yi Ziqian doesn't have the ability to create a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique or cultivation method. The one who caused the strange phenomenon must be someone else!"

"This person's strength is unknown, but he is definitely not someone to be trifled with. Anyone who is a little calm can figure this out. Anyone who dares to go and test him would be a fool."

Upon hearing this, the elders suddenly realized the sect leader's plan and exclaimed that it was brilliant.

"Alright, you all go ahead and get busy. This sect master needs to cultivate."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, dismissing the group of elders.

Only after everyone had left did the doors of the main hall slam shut, and wisps of eerie black mist emerged from the shadows.

...

Unsurprisingly, news of the extraordinary celestial phenomenon in the Jinjiang River spread rapidly, even within just a few days.

Suddenly, the number of visitors to this usually deserted canyon surged.

However, quite coincidentally, these powerful figures from all sides gathered outside the canyon and did not rashly venture deeper to explore.

As the sect leader of the Cangming Sect said, as long as you are in the Eastern Region, you have to consider the true controller of this land, that is, the ancient clan with a transcendent status, before you do anything.

Otherwise, even if you have extraordinary strength, if you offend the ancient clans, you can forget about having a good time in the Eastern Region.

Besides, on the other hand, no matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than the patriarch of an ancient clan?
Besides, these people weren't stupid. They knew that the person who could cause such a celestial phenomenon was no ordinary expert, so it was only natural that they had to be cautious.

Among the crowd, a white-haired man in a blue robe stood out.

He looked to be in his early thirties, but his hair was already as white as snow. He had long hair parted in the middle, and his features were delicate and refined. There was a snow mark on his forehead, and his eyes were deep and his icy blue eyes gave people a cold feeling.

Within a ten-foot radius of him, there was not a single person standing. Anyone who approached him even slightly felt a bone-chilling cold, as if their internal fighting spirit was about to be frozen. All signs indicated that this person was also a Dou Zun powerhouse with ice attributes.

Of course, his ice attribute is insignificant compared to that of the person who caused the celestial phenomenon, but it is by no means to be underestimated.

"Is it a cultivation technique or a combat skill? I hope it's the former..."

Ignoring the stares of those around him, the man murmured to himself, his greed barely concealed in his eyes.

Cultivation techniques of the same rank are far more valuable than combat skills.

The same is true for the Heavenly Ranks.

"Who is this person? He exudes a terrifying aura."

"You don't even know him? In the vast Central Continent, apart from the Pavilion Master of Zixiao Pavilion, the only one who would be so interested in ice-attribute Heaven-rank combat techniques is probably the Ice Venerable of Ice River Valley."

"It turns out to be him!"
