Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 138 Going North
After traveling millions of miles north across the wilderness and traversing vast deserts, Qi Zhe finally arrived at an ice field several days later.

The altitude here is extremely high, reaching seven or eight thousand meters. Looking out, one sees a scene of ice and snow stretching for tens of thousands of miles.

Now, Qi Zhe, with the young child, stepped onto it, gazing northward into the depths of the icy plain amidst the endless gale, his expression filled with melancholy.

"It's so cold." Even though the five- or six-year-old child was wearing a cotton-padded coat, he was shivering from the cold wind, and his little face was very red.

He didn't have a name before, but now Qi Zhe named him Shou Xin, hoping that he could suppress his beastly heart and become a real person.

This child has been eating raw meat and drinking blood for years, and is already like a wild beast. Now, the first thing he needs to do to be a human being is to have a name.

Otherwise, he would still be a beast, and no matter how precocious he is, it would be useless.

The large white goose had already been sealed in the jade bottle by Qi Zhe. If Qi Zhe hadn't refused to eat demonic beasts, it would have already been in his stomach.

“It’s normal to feel cold,” Qi Zhe said.

He didn't make things difficult for the child. After speaking, he tossed out a fire essence copper seal and let the child hold it in his palm to warm it.

Shouxin held the bronze seal, feeling the heat emanating from it, and felt warm all over. He couldn't help but look up at Qi Zhe and say, "Thank you, Boss!"

Qi Zhe nodded upon hearing this, then looked up into the distance and said, "You've been by my side for five days now. Do you know why I brought you along?"

Qi Zhe has been with Shou Xin for five days, traveling all the way from the Holy City to the Ice Plains. He has been observing the child for a long time and felt that he should give him a reminder today.

Shouxin was wrapped up tightly in a cotton coat, looking like a little rice dumpling. Her eyes sparkled with wisdom as she looked at Qi Zhe with a face full of doubt.

In his mind, Qi Zhe was strange and didn't care about his bloodline power. The inhuman treatment he thought he would suffer did not happen.

After thinking for a long time, Shouxin stammered, "Is Boss worried that Shouxin might become a menace? But Shouxin is short and doesn't have that kind of ability."

This child knows that being human, eating raw meat and drinking blood, and having animalistic instincts is not a good thing; he understands this without needing to be taught.

He knew he was an anomaly, with extraordinary blood and tenacious vitality, a being that would be feared by others wherever he went.

But he also knew that he was young and needed to grow up and embark on the path of cultivation, otherwise no matter how much potential he had, he would not be able to realize it.

So he wanted to tell Qi Zhe that there was no need to be wary of him.

"Ha ha."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe couldn't help but burst into laughter. Then, he looked down at Shou Xin beside him and said bluntly, "Although you are smart, you are still too green."

"To me, even if you have chaotic blood, or even if you truly possess a chaotic body, it's not enough to make me wary."

“I’m taking you away because I don’t want you to fall into someone else’s hands. There are demonic arts in this world that can devour the essence of others for cultivation.”

"Your chaotic blood is too special. I don't want you to grant them their wish. Even if it means death, I won't leave your body to them!"

Shouxin was very clever. Hearing Qi Zhe's words, she immediately made a connection and couldn't help but tilt her little head up to ask, "Will someone kill you if they devour your essence?"

Qi Zhe was taken aback upon hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "He will surely die, but it's just a matter of how long he can hold on, which depends entirely on his cultivation level."

"If one possesses unparalleled cultivation, capable of reaching out to pluck stars and seize the moon, one might be able to last for ten or eight years. Without cultivation, one might die on the spot."

Even the most powerful sages of the divine race could only survive for a little over ten years after their origins were devoured by the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art. Ordinary people would probably die in just a few days.

Shouxin trembled upon hearing this, her eyes widening in surprise. She exclaimed, "If Shouxin is caught, will she die too?"

"Otherwise what?" Qi Zhe retorted, his expression calm. A Chaos Blood being in the hands of the Ruthless Clan would only face two possible deaths: either instant death or being slaughtered after achieving only minor mastery of demonic arts.

It should be noted that the Ruthless lineage is not simple. They have many backup furnaces, and the disciples later accepted by Hua Yunfei and Yao Guang Shengzi are all their furnaces.

Without a doubt, these cauldrons all died silently. Without their efforts to devour the essence of other cultivators, there would be no future for the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

Shouxin believed him, since Qi Zhe had no reason to lie to him, and couldn't help but frown and ponder in place.

Seeing this, Qi Zhe stopped trying to scare him and turned to look into the depths of the ice field, preparing to rest for a while before heading there to find the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

The Ancient Ten Thousand Dragon Nest is the ancestral land of the Ten Thousand Dragon Royal Family. It is one of the ultimate terrains that has existed from ancient times to the present, comparable to the Nine Dragons Guarding a Single Tree.

Even Master Yuan believed that it was a true dragon's lair, with a terrain that held extraordinary potential, and that one would benefit from it for life once they understood it.

In ancient times, the Emperor Wanlong occupied that place, not only building a large palace complex but also destroying the terrain.

Throughout the long history of the Wanlong Nest, several great emperors have visited, and it was among them that the Ruthless Great Emperor took the True Dragon Elixir of Immortality.

Subsequently, the Ruthless Emperor placed several coffins inside and left the True Dragon Immortal Elixir there, without actually taking it with him.

Later, the Great Emperor Wushi also came here, but he chose to leave because the place had already been placed in a coffin by the Great Emperor Ruthless.

It can be said that Wanlong Nest is very special. In terms of terrain, it is a burial ground exclusively for ancient emperors. If it had not been destroyed, even the ancient royal family would have found it difficult to stay.

In the Northern Region, there are also royal ancestral lands such as Divine Silkworm Ridge, Blood Phoenix Mountain, Fire Kirin Cave, Primitive Lake, and Golden Cave, each of which is extremely mysterious.

These terrains are now marked on the Yuan Tianshi Stone Map, and Qi Zhe plans to explore them all in the future, since it will be difficult to set foot there again later.

After resting for half a day, Qi Zhe led Shou Xin on a journey through the snow and ice, continuing their trek through the swirling snowstorm.

The wind and snow here are very strong; if one were not a cultivator capable of flight, every step would be extremely difficult.

"This snow is really heavy!" Shouxin didn't know Qi Zhe's destination. She flew with Qi Zhe through the air and exclaimed as she looked at the snow falling all around her.

Having lived in the desert for so long, this was the first time he had ever seen heavy snow, and it seemed quite extraordinary to him.

Seeing his curious expression, Qi Zhe shook his head and said, "The northern region is filled with yellow sand, and snow only appears on the high mountains. This ice field is quite rare."

"However, this place was not an ice field before. Seventy or eighty thousand years ago, this place was a continuous snow mountain range, which was swept away by a turmoil."

The terrain of many places in the Northern Region has changed due to turmoil. In ancient times, there was constant turmoil, and it was not initiated by the Supreme Being.

The Supreme Being's minions sometimes awaken, emerging from the forbidden zones to wreak havoc, each time resulting in rivers of blood.

This ice field was formed in this way: long ago, a god-king of the Jiang family swept away tens of thousands of miles of snow-capped mountains with the Sun God Furnace, turning this place into an ice field.

Whether the person who instigated the turmoil was a former divine general of the Wanlong Emperor is unknown, but what is certain is that the Wanlong royal family has a very long reach.

The Wanlong royal family once supported the creation of a sacred land in this snow-capped mountain. It was an extremely prosperous and powerful force that once dominated the Northern Region and was called the Underworld God Palace.

What Qi Zhe is looking for now is the ruins of the Underworld Palace, where there is an entrance to the Dragon Nest, a cave where dragon energy leaks out.
