Bingling breathed a sigh of relief and handed the Heart of Ice to the Abbot.

The abbot carefully put away the Heart of Ice, then took out several jade slips and handed them to Ye Ming and the others:

"These are several powerful supernatural abilities; you can gradually comprehend them on your journey."

Ye Ming and the others were overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

The abbot waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. Go on your journey, and I wish you a safe one."

Ye Ming and the others bowed respectfully to the abbot before turning and leaving.

Watching their departing figures, the abbot murmured to himself thoughtfully:

"I hope they can return safely."

"Otherwise, this catastrophe might really be unstoppable."

Meanwhile, Ye Ming and the others had already left Yuqing Temple.

On the way, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but ask, "Ye Ming, do you think we can find that divine artifact?"

After pondering for a moment, Ye Ming said, "It should be possible. After all, we've already found two."

Chu Yanran also said, "Yes, as long as we work together, there will definitely be no problem!"

Bingling nodded and said, "That's right, we must stop that catastrophe!"

With everyone chiming in, the atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed.

Just then, a message suddenly came from Ye Ming's chat group.

[Wang Lei (One Piece World): Ye Ming, how's the situation on your end? Do you need any help?]

Ye Ming glanced at the message and replied:

[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): We have already departed from Yuqing Temple. We are preparing to head to the desert to search for the last divine artifact.]

[Wang Lei (One Piece World): I see. Then you all must be careful!]

[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): Don't worry, we'll be careful. How are things on your end?]

[Wang Lei (One Piece World): I'm doing alright here. But things haven't been peaceful in the One Piece world lately.]

[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): What's wrong? What happened?]

[Wang Lei (One Piece World): It seems there's a group of mysterious people searching for something. I suspect it might be related to the Soul Palace.]

Ye Ming frowned upon seeing the message.

"It seems that the Soul Palace's ambitions are not limited to our world."

He thought to himself.

[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): Understood. Be careful and notify me immediately if anything unusual happens.]

[Wang Lei (One Piece World): Okay, take care, everyone.]

After ending his conversation with Wang Lei, Ye Ming looked up into the distance.

A vast desert stretched out at the horizon.

"arrive."

He said in a deep voice.

The others also looked up, their expressions turning serious.

Lin Qingxue took a deep breath and said, "We've finally arrived. What should we do?"

After pondering for a moment, Ye Ming said, "Let's enter the desert first. We'll see if we sense anything then."

Everyone nodded and followed Ye Ming into the desert.

The scorching sun baked the earth, and the air was filled with a burning heat.

Ye Ming and the others advanced cautiously, observing their surroundings warily.

Suddenly, Ye Ming felt the Qiankun Cauldron within his body vibrate slightly.

"There's a reaction!"

He said with delight.

Upon hearing this, everyone else also showed joy.

"Great! It seems we're not far from getting the divine artifact."

Chu Yanran said excitedly.

Ye Ming nodded and said, "That's right. But we still need to be careful."

"This desert must be hiding a lot of dangers."

After hearing this, everyone expressed their agreement.

Just then, a sudden gust of wind swept in.

Dust filled the air, obscuring everyone's vision.

"careful!"

Ye Ming shouted and quickly circulated his spiritual power to protect his entire body.

Everyone else also adopted a defensive stance.

However, this gust of wind came and went quickly.

When the sandstorm subsided, everyone was surprised to find that the surrounding scenery had completely changed.

The once flat sandy land has been transformed into undulating sand dunes.

An ancient pyramid appeared in the distance.

"Is this...an illusion?"

Lin Qingxue asked in confusion.

Ye Ming shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like an illusion. It's more like some kind of spatial transfer."

"It seems we have entered the realm of divine artifacts."

Chu Yanran pointed to the pyramid in the distance and said, "Look over there! Could that be where the divine artifact is located?"

Ye Ming nodded and said, "Very likely. Let's go take a look."

With that, he led the way toward the pyramids.

However, they had only taken a few steps when the ground suddenly began to shake violently.

"not good!"

Ye Ming's expression changed, and he shouted, "Retreat!"

Before he finished speaking, a giant scorpion emerged from the sand!

"This is... the Desert Scorpion King?"

Lin Qingxue exclaimed in surprise.

The scorpion was over ten feet long, and its entire body was covered with a hard carapace.

Ye Ming's gaze turned serious as he quickly analyzed the situation.

"This Scorpion King is quite powerful; it's at least a Nascent Soul stage demon beast."

He said solemnly.

Lin Qingxue gripped her longsword tightly and said, "Let's attack together!"

Ye Ming shook his head and said, "No, you all step back first. Let me test its strength."

With that, he leaped into the air.

"drink!"

Ye Ming roared, his spiritual power surging within him, instantly condensing into dozens of sword energies.

Sword energy shot towards the Scorpion King like raindrops.

Upon seeing this, the Scorpion King swung its massive tail hook violently.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sword energy was completely shattered, turning into specks of starlight and dissipating.

"So strong!"

Ye Ming was secretly alarmed.

Just then, the Scorpion King suddenly accelerated and charged forward.

Its speed was astonishing, and it arrived in front of Ye Ming in an instant.

The huge pincers snapped shut, trying to clamp Ye Ming down.

At the critical moment, Ye Ming dodged the fatal blow with a swift movement.

"So fast!"

Ye Ming became even more vigilant and dared not be careless in the slightest.

He formed hand seals, preparing to unleash his supernatural powers.

However, at that moment, the scorpion king's tail hook suddenly struck!

"not good!"

Ye Ming's expression changed drastically; it was too late to dodge.

Just at the critical moment, a cold light flashed.

"clang!"

With a clang of metal on metal, the scorpion king's stinger was blocked.

Ye Ming looked closely and saw that Lin Qingxue had appeared beside him at some point.

She held a longsword and was locked in a stalemate with the scorpion king's stinger.

"Ye Ming, are you alright?"

Lin Qingxue asked through gritted teeth.

Ye Ming felt a warmth in his heart and said, "I'm fine. Thank you."

Lin Qingxue smiled slightly and said, "Don't be so polite. Let's quickly think of a way to deal with this guy."

Ye Ming nodded, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Since that's the case, let's show it what we're capable of!"

As he spoke, Ye Ming took out the Tai Xuan Black Gold Sword from his storage ring.

The moment the sword was drawn, it unleashed an astonishing burst of sword energy.

The Scorpion King seemed to sense a threat and quickly took a few steps back.

Ye Ming seized the opportunity and swung his longsword sharply.

"Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique!"

In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky, and thunder roared.

Countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the Scorpion King.
