Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 139 Underground Divine Palace
This ice field stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles. Although there used to be vast snow-capped mountains, now only the deepest parts of the ice field have snow-capped mountains.

Today, these snow-capped mountains cover only a hundred or so square miles, and they appear to have stood for a long time in the wind and snow, with large areas of ice palaces on them.

The Great Northern Sect's Ice and Snow Palace was established here, with the Great Snow Mountain serving as its gate, making it difficult for outsiders to set foot there at will.

Qi Zhe had only just stepped into the vicinity when he saw disciples of the Ice and Snow Palace moving around inside the Great Snow Mountain, so he did not make any rash moves.

Fortunately, they were far enough away that the other party did not notice Qi Zhe's presence.

"Boss?" Shouxin, who had been following Qi Zhe, also tensed up upon seeing this, looking at the distant snow-capped mountains with a sense of foreboding.

After a moment, Qi Zhe said calmly, "There's no need to provoke them. They should be in the back mountain. Let's go."

As he spoke, Qi Zhe picked up Shou Xin and headed towards the back of the snow mountain.

The Ice Palace is not a major religion like the Holy Land. Its founder was an old ape from ten thousand years ago, at which time it could have rivaled the Holy Land.

That old ape was incredibly accomplished in his lifetime, and as a member of the demon race, he single-handedly founded a great sect, which was truly extraordinary, but he has long since passed away.

Now, times have changed. The Ice and Snow Palace can be compared with the likes of the Myriad Tribulations Sect and the Five Elements Palace, but it is far inferior to many holy lands.

Qi Zhe wasn't worried about being discovered, but he didn't want to cause trouble for himself either. It was better to avoid trouble, so he simply avoided the other party.

However, Qi Zhe went around to the back of the snow-capped mountain and began to observe the area.

The area is very open, with snow everywhere, but the terrain is undulating, showing that there used to be continuous mountain ranges here.

Shouxin dropped from Qi Zhe's hand, stepped on the white snow and looked ahead, then turned back to Qi Zhe in confusion and asked, "Boss, what exactly are we looking for?"

He didn't quite understand Qi Zhe's purpose in coming here, and now he wanted to figure it out.

"A treasure land that can help me cultivate." Qi Zhe's voice was calm as he slowly opened his Heavenly Eye and carefully observed the terrain.

In Qi Zhe's eyes, the terrain here stretches from high ridges in the west to earthen mounds in the east, resembling a great dragon entering the earth, making it a place where earth dragons bury their corpses.

But that's not entirely true. Qi Zhe knew that this was the place where the true dragon was reborn. The dragon entered the earth to build its nest in preparation for its rebirth.

However, the source techniques he obtained from the Nangong family were not sophisticated enough to truly understand this terrain, and he could only draw a superficial conclusion.

As Qi Zhe observed, he saw the place where the dragon had entered the earth. It was a valley more than ten miles away, where the dragon had disappeared into the ground.

"That's it, the true dragon has entered the nest of ten thousand dragons." Qi Zhe's expression remained unchanged. He pulled Shou Xin along and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, Qi Zhe went deep into the valley, and with a flash of silver light in his eyes, he saw a place where dragon energy was dissipating halfway up the snow mountain.

As soon as Shouxin entered the valley, she saw many snow apes. Her big eyes widened in surprise, and she tugged at Qi Zhe's sleeve, whispering, "So many monsters."

The valley was very open, and the mountains and fields were full of burly monkeys, each covered in white fur and exuding a demonic aura.

These are all descendants of the Snow Ape, the founder of the Ice and Snow Palace. Among them are powerful demons with profound cultivation, but the strongest are only half-step into the realm of great power.

If Qi Zhe wanted to leave, the other side would definitely not be able to stop him, and these monkeys had been at peace for a long time and had not noticed the two of them at all.

"It's nothing." Qi Zhe remained calm, then led Shou Xin around the group of snow apes, preparing to venture deeper into the valley.

There was only one entrance to the Wanlong Nest, and Qi Zhe clearly remembered that it was a dry well in the snow mountain, hidden inside the mountain.

However, there is a snow ape corpse suppressed there. It was the founder of the Ice and Snow Palace and a being that could rival the holy lands.

Even a conservative ruler would need to be a highly accomplished king, and even a demon saint is not impossible; he might be the only obstacle on Qi Zhe's journey.

"laugh!"

Qi Zhe moved swiftly, leading Shou Xin directly into a cave on the snow mountain, and then rapidly traversing the cave. The dark cave was impeccably clean, devoid of snakes, insects, or rodents; it was the dwelling of the snow apes.

But now it's empty. The snow monkeys, being active and fond of traveling in groups, are now all playing and frolicking in the valley.

Qi Zhe and Shou Xin soon arrived inside the mountain and finally found the large cave leading to the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

This is a deep, dark cave shaped like an ancient well, covered with hard, black ice. Inside the ice, an old ape sits cross-legged with its eyes closed.

The old ape was tall and majestic, almost one with heaven and earth, and looked incredibly ethereal. If it were not already dead, it would surely be extremely astonishing.

Even in death, the body is incredibly lifelike, sitting peacefully in solid ice, making it seem to anyone that it is alive.

"Boss!" Shouxin looked up at Qi Zhe with surprise and doubt.

Qi Zhe's expression was quite solemn at this moment. This old ape was indeed amazing. When it was alive, it must have been much stronger than all the holy masters. Such Dao essence was extremely rare.

Moreover, the fact that it suppressed the cave entrance with its body must have left a profound meaning behind it. Qi Zhe felt that it might be preventing others from going deeper into the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.

Regardless, Qi Zhe was determined to move it out of the cave entrance and go directly into the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest; a corpse couldn't stop him.

Qi Zhe said, "No rush, just move it away."

As he spoke, Qi Zhe immediately took action. He bent down and unleashed countless Dao patterns, attempting to cut open the Xuanbing (mysterious ice) that enveloped the old ape's corpse.

"chichichi"

In the blink of an eye, Qi Zhe's Dao patterns sliced ​​through the Xuanbing ice, and then slowly rose up, enveloping the old ape's corpse.

As the ice slowly rose, strange noises emanated from the cave entrance, and streams of dragon energy began to rush out of the cave.

"Seal!" Qi Zhe shouted in a low voice upon seeing this, and countless Dao patterns covered the well opening, sealing the entrance.

This cave entrance leads directly to the Dragon Nest. The dragon energy inside the cave is constantly surging and almost bursting out, but fortunately it is sealed by Qi Zhe.

After doing all this, Qi Zhe jumped into the cave with Shou Xin, and placed the old ape's corpse back at the cave entrance.

Qi Zhe estimated that he would be staying in Wanlong Nest for a long time, so he tried his best not to disturb the snow apes and the Ice Palace.

At this moment, below the cave entrance is a tunnel that leads directly to the Dragon Nest. It is very dry and devoid of water, and all the source energy and dragon energy are blocked by the mysterious ice.

Moreover, the passage was surrounded by strange Dao patterns, and countless killing intents permeated the air. Qi Zhe saw through the mystery at a glance.

But after careful observation, Qi Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, although it's mysterious, it can still be solved."

Although Qi Zhe's mastery of Dao patterns cannot be described as world-shaking, it far surpasses that of other cultivators of the same level, after all, he has been studying this stuff for a long time.

In less than three days, Qi Zhe descended rapidly through the passage, deciphering a large number of Dao patterns that neutralized the killing intent, and thus fell into an underground palace.

This is a gray underground space filled with primordial energy and dragon energy, with ancient palaces lying in the middle.

Everything here seems to have stood for countless ages. The ancient palaces are hundreds of feet high and are made of all sorts of strange stones.

Shouxin had been following Qi Zhe closely. Seeing that she had landed in an underground palace, her little face was full of curiosity.

Qi Zhe squinted at the endless underground palace and said softly, "What a wonderful place. The dragon energy here is so strong."

"How astonishing it would be to venture deep into the dragon's lair!"
