Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 340 Snowy Northern Plains
Qi Zhe did not linger in the holy city, disappearing into the vast night, and rode the stone horse northward with Shou Xin.

The two of them and their horse headed north to the desolate Northern Plains, because Shouxin came from there, and Yao Xi was waiting for Qi Zhe there.

"You call Yao Xi your senior uncle?" Qi Zhe's face darkened on the way, and his mouth twitched when he heard Shou Xin call Yao Xi his senior uncle.

In the darkness, Shouxin looked embarrassed and whispered, "It was my senior uncle who told me to address you that way, saying he wanted to put you ahead of the boss."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe shook his head repeatedly, unsure of what to say. After all, he had indeed addressed her as "Senior Sister," and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Qi Zhe then listened attentively as Shou Xin recounted his experiences over the years, his face filled with admiration and sighs.

At Qi Zhe's request, Yao Xi left the mountain to find Shou Xin, who had undergone training, and took him around to cultivate. Now, nearly a hundred years have passed.

During this time, Yao Xi wandered the Eastern Wilderness with the young Shou Xin. After becoming a saint, she traveled alone through the five major regions of the Big Dipper, only visiting Shou Xin occasionally.

Decades ago, when Qi Zhe returned to Beidou, Shou Xin was still training in Nanling. Upon hearing the news, she wanted to return to Donghuang to reunite with Qi Zhe.

Unfortunately, Yao Xi found him first and, relying on her higher cultivation level than Shou Xin, forcibly suppressed the boy, preventing him from returning to the Eastern Wilderness.

If Qi Zhe hadn't become a quasi-emperor and hadn't had such a powerful momentum in the Northern Holy City where all the saints came to pay homage, Shou Xin would have had to plead and beg to escape the clutches of evil.

Qi Zhe listened to Shou Xin's account and couldn't help but roll his eyes, saying, "That's just like her. We must teach her a lesson this time!"

"laugh!"

As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in Qi Zhe's hand, and a crimson celestial blade suddenly appeared, stirring up waves of heat in the moonlight.

This is the Immortal Golden Blade that Qi Zhe seized from a Holy Spirit. It was formed from the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold that accompanied it, and it is intertwined with the innate Dao and reason.

At this moment, Qi Zhe handed it to Shou Xin and whispered, "This Heavenly Blade is something I left for you. If you don't like it, you can melt it down and reforge it."

"Ah? Thank you, boss!" Shouxin was overjoyed upon hearing this. He took the Heavenly Blade and couldn't help but stroke it, tears streaming down his face with excitement.

This kid had been suffering for too long, and a decent-weight immortal golden sword drove him into madness, making him feel that his life was complete.

Shi Ma, walking to the side, also shouted, "Master Qi, you have to be fair! I've carried you for so many years!"

Then the guy revealed his true intentions: "Besides, I'm only at the Saint Realm in this lifetime. Why don't you give me the Longevity Temple for self-defense?"

"After all, Master Qi, you already have an imperial weapon."

Shi Ma's abacus clattered loudly, and even his eyes seemed to be blazing with ghostly fire, causing Qi Zhe's lips to twitch repeatedly.

The next moment, Qi Zhe curled his lip and said in a deep voice, "You can forget about the Taoist temple for the rest of your life. I'll find you the art of mending the heavens in the future!"

Qi Zhe knew that even if he didn't think about the merits of the stone horse that had always been in the realm of sainthood, he should still remember its hard work and find the Heaven-Mending Technique of the Holy Spirit lineage for it.

The ancient human path was once thrown into chaos by the seven demonic wells. Although Qi Zhe did not participate, he still had his own plans.

Now that he has reached the Quasi-Emperor realm, it is time for him to meet the Holy Spirit hiding behind the scenes and witness the Holy Spirit's Heaven-Mending Technique.

The two people and the horse walked slowly across the northern land, and soon they crossed ice fields and even passed by the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.

Unfortunately, the place is now deserted. The Wanlong royal family once left Beidou with their entire clan, taking with them many of their treasures.

Now, only a few coffins lie there. Even the elixir of immortality was taken by Qi Zhe many years ago, and no one cares about this place anymore.

Gazing into the depths of the icy plains, Qi Zhe said with a somewhat enigmatic tone, "Actually, this place is quite nice. We can continue planting the True Dragon Immortality Medicine in the future."

Qi Zhe decided to return to this place whenever he had the chance, to replant the True Dragon Immortality Medicine and allow it to begin growing again. Afterwards, Qi Zhe left with Shou Xin and Shi Ma, heading further north at a moderate pace, arriving at Beiyuan at sunrise.

After crossing the border between the Eastern Wilderness and the Northern Plains, the endless yellow sand disappeared, leaving only boundless desolate grasslands and howling winds.

Qi Zhe looked into the distance and could see vast stretches of fairy islands and palaces tens of thousands of miles away, where the Jin family, the golden family of the Northern Plains, was also located.

However, Qi Zhe didn't pay much attention to it. After taking one last look into the distance, he left and continued heading north, traveling an unknown distance through the wind and snow.

"In the far north!" Shouxin said that Yao Xi is currently searching for the Arctic Light and has been staying there for more than ten years.

Qi Zhe didn't waste any words. At this point, he decided not to take a walk anymore. He picked up the Guardian Heart and the Stone Horse and headed towards the North Pole.

"laugh!"

Like a streak of light flashing, Qi Zhe tore through the void, shattering it in a single step to reach the finish line at an extreme speed.

This is the North Pole of the Big Dipper, and it is currently in perpetual daylight. The magnificent aurora borealis meanders across the sky, a sight of unparalleled beauty.

This land is deserted and extremely cold, so cold that even the most resilient creatures cannot survive for long; only cultivators can endure it.

However, there are still many saints in the Arctic, and dozens or even hundreds of ice and snow palaces stretch out, concealing many powerful auras.

Yao Xi was among them. After Qi Zhe and Shou Xin arrived, she seemed to sense something and rushed out the next moment, looking at Qi Zhe from the horizon.

After a long silence, Yao Xi, her long dress swaying, swiftly appeared before Qi Zhe, her expression a half-smile, and said, "A quasi-emperor, what immense power."

Her eyebrows twitched, her cunning eyes flashed with cold light, and although her face was stunning, she carried a hint of murderous intent, and her slender figure was poised to strike.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe was speechless for a moment, but then he suddenly chuckled and said, "That's true. Today I am a Quasi-Emperor, while you are not even a Great Sage!"

"It seems that people are indeed different."

Qi Zhe's tone was extremely irritating, making Yao Xi grit her teeth. She felt that this guy was too infuriating and must have learned it from the Black Emperor.

"So what if he's a quasi-emperor! Junior brother is junior brother!" The next moment, she was about to make her move, and with a flick of her wrist, a holy sword gleaming with golden light swung towards Qi Zhe.

She possessed extraordinary combat power. After seclusion in the immortal palace outside the desolate ancient forbidden land, she soared to the heavens and attained astonishing cultivation by entering the Dao through the ancient scriptures of the Underworld Lord.

"laugh!"

The holy sword swept across the sky, unleashing boundless sword energy that tore through tens of thousands of miles of snow and ice, causing the entire ice plain to tremble. The many sages who were in seclusion there were all alarmed.

But at this moment, even the most astonishing sword force could not strike. The sword light, stretching for thousands of miles, was shattered by Qi Zhe before it could reach him, vanishing into nothingness.

Then Qi Zhe reached out and grabbed Yao Xi's wrist, chuckling and teasing, "Senior sister is quite capable, but unfortunately, I'm a cut above."

Yao Xi was annoyed again upon hearing this. She rolled her eyes, sheathed her sword, and ignored Qi Zhe, leaving Shou Xin and Shi Ma in the distance looking at her strangely.

"Sigh, come with me." Yao Xi finally sighed and led Qi Zhe back to the Ice Palace, asking him about his experiences during this time.

"It would be a blessing if old friends could reunite," a sage whispered amidst the wind and snow, sensing all this.

Writing these kinds of dialogue scenes is exhausting; I feel a bit out of control. I think I'm better at writing action scenes.
Fighting! So exhilarating!!!
