Wu Shattered Star River

In the midst of an icy wasteland, there stood a colossal cliff, towering ten thousand zhang high. Its surface was blanketed by a thick layer of ice, resembling a massive iceberg from afar.

A protruding rock jutted out from this cliff, and upon it stood a door. At this moment, golden light radiated from the door as two figures emerged.

“Ugh…”

The instant they stepped out, both Ye Wanqiu and Jiang Han shuddered violently, feeling as if they had fallen into a freezing pond as children.

Their bodies instantly began to ice over, thick frost appearing on their eyebrows and hair. Their breath turned into white mist, as if about to freeze.

Their bodies stiffened, even movement becoming difficult. It wasn't just their physical forms; they felt as if their very souls were being frozen.

Jiang Han fared slightly better, but Ye Wanqiu's true form was that of the Eternal Night Monarch, a supreme powerhouse who had stood tall in the Land of Eternal Night for countless years.

It had been so many years since she had felt this way. The power of night within her body immediately began to circulate rapidly, slightly alleviating the feeling of being frozen, but she still felt the energy within her body moving sluggishly, and her physical form was stiff.

“The cold here…”

Ye Wanqiu's beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings, and she couldn't help but exclaim, “The cold here doesn't feel like ordinary cold. The laws of heaven and earth here are different from those of the Great Thousand Worlds. The cold here… is very peculiar.”

Jiang Han had already taken out a Sacred Fire Stone. He directly refined one, and a strange energy entered his body. He felt an invisible flame ignite within him, and the cold was immediately dispelled.

He handed five Sacred Fire Stones to Ye Wanqiu and said, “What do you mean?”

Ye Wanqiu didn't refine a Sacred Fire Stone. Her beautiful eyes were still scanning the surroundings. She looked at the boundless wind and snow in the distance, at the thick glaciers, at the endless icy plains below the cliff, and said:

“It's hard to explain, but I just feel like there's something wrong with the laws of heaven and earth here. The cold here is very special, different from the cold of the Great Thousand Worlds…”

Jiang Han rolled his eyes, feeling that Ye Wanqiu was talking nonsense.

If the cold here was the same as in the lower realms, would it be able to freeze the two of them? Their physical bodies were terrifyingly powerful.

Jiang Han's gaze swept around. At that moment, he inexplicably felt that he and Ye Wanqiu were very insignificant.

The sky here seemed even higher, and an ancient aura permeated everything. The mountains here were even steeper, the wind was even fiercer, and even the falling snow seemed to contain the rules of some great Dao.

The two didn't dare to fly directly into the sky, feeling that the cold above was even more terrifying. They observed and sensed for a while before walking towards the interior of the mountain.

After walking for several thousand zhang, Ye Wanqiu refined a Sacred Fire Stone. It wasn't that she couldn't withstand it anymore, but that if she didn't dispel the cold, her combat power would be affected.

In case of danger, she might be instantly killed. Being new to this place, it was better to be careful.

Jiang Han took out the Eight Trigrams Plate and began to calculate. He had already refined this plate and knew how to use it.

The trigram plate had many complex lines and patterns. In the middle was a black and white Taiji Yin-Yang diagram, and on the outside were eight characters: Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun, Gen, and Dui, each representing a different meaning.

Jiang Han activated the trigram plate, and it lit up. A stream of energy shot out from the Yin-Yang Taiji, and began to wander on the trigram plate, looking like a divine dragon was sealed inside the trigram plate.

Jiang Han observed the trigram plate for a moment and said, “Go in the northwest direction. This direction is auspicious!”

“Okay!”

The Eternal Night Monarch knew about the Heavenly Mystery Dao Venerable. This trigram plate was given by the Heavenly Mystery Dao Venerable, so it must be a treasure and wouldn't make any big mistakes.

They didn't walk towards the ice plains below, but towards the interior of the mountain.

The two moved at a moderate pace. Ye Wanqiu was constantly sensing the surrounding situation, while Jiang Han's soul was much weaker than Ye Wanqiu's, so he didn't bother sensing.

After traveling hundreds of thousands of li, a patch of snow-white frost appeared ahead. Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu discovered living creatures in the Land of Bitter Winter for the first time.

Some small animals were hidden in the frost, such as some white snakes inside the leaves, which looked crystal clear and didn't move at all. If Ye Wanqiu's soul wasn't strong, she would have thought it was an icicle.

Moreover, these white snakes were very good at disguising themselves, and their life aura was very weak. They couldn't be detected unless one got close.

In addition, there were some small reptiles under the forest floor, all of which were white, hidden under the ice.

“咻咻咻!”

After the two approached, these small snakes and reptiles were alarmed and swarmed towards the two of them. Their speed was actually very fast, all comparable to Emperor-level.

“Chī chī!”

Ye Wanqiu casually shot out streaks of sword energy, strangling the small snakes and reptiles into pieces.

Jiang Han observed for a moment, and his expression became solemn. The defense and speed of these small snakes and reptiles felt comparable to fifth-order immortal beasts.

Were these things rare in the Land of Bitter Winter? Or were they common? If they were common, then this damn place would be too terrifying.

The two didn't dare to stay. After killing the approaching small snakes and reptiles, they immediately fled away from the forest.

This forest was very large, and it took the two more than two hours to bypass it, and then they continued to run towards the northwest direction.

After running for a while, Jiang Han's gaze suddenly swept towards the trigram plate. At this moment, black energy actually appeared on the trigram plate, which was a warning from the trigram plate.

“Don't go northwest, there's been a change over there, let's go east!”

Jiang Han stopped Ye Wanqiu, but the latter didn't leave, but frowned and closed her eyes to sense.

After a while, she said, “There are slight fluctuations over there, it should be cultivators fighting, do we want to go over and take a look?”

Jiang Han frowned. He didn't answer, but activated the trigram plate and aimed the trigram plate at the front. A dragon of energy began to wander on the trigram plate, and after a while, it stopped at “Zhen”.

Jiang Han said, “According to the prompt on the trigram plate, we may encounter danger if we go forward, but it's not a great misfortune!”

“Then let's go!”

Ye Wanqiu waved her hand and said, “We have just come to the Land of Bitter Winter, and we don't know anything about the situation. We always have to deal with the cultivators here, and we need information.”

“Since it's not a great misfortune, then let's go and see. If we can take down a cultivator and torture some information, it will be very beneficial to our future actions.”

“Then let's go!”

Jiang Han wasn't a hesitant person. Both of them were not weak, and there was no reason to be timid when they came here. They should still take action when they should. Now information was the most important thing.

The two immediately ran towards the front, but the speed was slower, and Ye Wanqiu began to try her best to investigate.

After running for tens of thousands of miles, the battle fluctuations in front became clearer, and Jiang Han could feel it.

Moreover, it wasn't two cultivators fighting, it felt like there were dozens of cultivators in a melee?

The two climbed over a mountain, and finally could vaguely see the battle ahead clearly.

“Hmm…”

After scanning a few times, Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu looked at each other, both with stunned expressions on their faces.

Three cultivators and a group of humanoid monsters covered in long hair were fighting in front. The three cultivators felt like they were surrounded by this group of long-haired monsters and were fighting desperately.

What surprised the two was that these three cultivators were all girls. They felt very young, estimated to be no more than fifteen years old, but the combat power of the three girls had all reached the Emperor level!

“Restrain your breath!”

Ye Wanqiu scanned a few times and transmitted her voice, “These three little girls are likely to be training here, there should be a protector hidden nearby!”
