Yi Piaopiao left behind a white jade sculpture, and within the sculpture was a record of an illusion which told Jiang Yi plenty of things. It even said that if Jiang Yi was able to reach the peak of Vajra Realm before 20 years old, he could head over to the East Imperial Continent to search for a person named Yu Wen, and he would tell Jiang Yi how to search for her.

Yi Piaopiao’s origin had always been a riddle, and even Shui Youlan also had no idea where did Yi Piaopiao come from. Meanwhile, no one had ever stepped outside of the continent before. Even though there were experts who had left the continent before, none of them ever returned. Therefore, the people within the continent had no idea what was happening outside. Thus, it was impossible for them to know about the East Imperial Continent.

During those years, Yi Piaopiao and Jiang Bieli were in love with each other even though she didn’t tell Jiang Bieli where she came from. However, she probably told him of the situation outside. Therefore, when this little girl spoke of the East Imperial Continent, Jiang Yi’s heart immediately pounded as Jiang Bieli’s figure emerged within his mind.

Jiang Bieli disappeared mysteriously together with the Jiang clansmen, and Jiang Yi understood why he would do so.

Xia Tingwei and the others had perished. During then, when Ling Clan’s Patriarch and Jiang Yi had gone missing, he must have guessed that the duo was fighting out in the sea. If the Ling Clan’s Patriarch had won, no one would be able to stop the Azure Dragon Empire unifying the continent; and he would be killed by the Patriarch. If Jiang Yi won, he would have to avoid coming into contact with Jiang Yi even if he had chosen to stay. Since whichever sides won would also bring him great difficulties, he might as well leave this place together with his clan members.

Yet, Jiang Bieli had actually appeared so suddenly and even got someone to bring him a message? Since he had decided to help Jiang Yi, why was he still hiding? Could it be he didn’t want to meet Jiang Yi so as to avoid any awkward situation from happening?

Jiang Yi signaled Grandma Silver Flower to bring the little girl down. His eyes flickered incessantly and started to analyze the reliability of this information.

The Martial Arts Hall was extremely mysterious and powerful. Perhaps, they might know of the East Imperial Continent as well. If this news was intentionally sent over by someone from the Martial Arts Hall, then the extreme north was definitely a trap.

Should he go or not?

Jiang Yi started to hesitate. A day ago, he had used his Divine Perception to probe the area once and did not discover anything in the extreme north. This clearly shown either there was absolutely nothing in the extreme north or that there was an extremely powerful illusion array at that place. If he couldn’t go near it, he would never be able to obtain any clues.

He sat for a full hour before beckoning everyone over to inquire if they had obtained any new information. After confirming there was no new information, he gritted his teeth and said, “I’m making a trip to the extreme north. Grandma Silver Flower, keep guard and supervise Stellarsky City. If there’s an accident, you can decide on how to handle them.”

“En.”

Grandma Silver Flower nodded her head. Her strength was negligible compared to Jiang Yi. Thus, she might as well stay here to oversee the city. If there was any new intelligence, she could also report it to Jiang Yi immediately.

“For this period of time, don’t attack the Northern Mang Kingdom and the Northern Liang Kingdom. Help me to destroy all the Martial Arts Branch Halls in those territories we had conquered. If there are any unusual changes, you can just suppress them. Furthermore, continue to scout for all information regarding the Martial Arts Hall…”

After Jiang Yi had briefed them, he set off together with the Yazi Beast immediately. He had just utilized his Divine Perception a moment ago and was utterly exhausted. The extreme north was very far away. Even though the Yazi Beast wouldn’t be of much help if a big battle was to break out, it was still good for it to be used as a mount.

Head towards the north!

The Yazi Beast’s speed was pretty decent. It only required a few days to reach the Wide Chill Ice Plains. Jiang Yi got the Yazi Beast to fly on a higher altitude so as to prevent waking up those dormant mutated beasts below. After flying for tens of thousands of miles, there was nothing abnormal below. The tension within Jiang Yi eased as he sat down to cultivate peacefully in order to nurse his spirit back.

Roar! Roar!

A day and a half later—when the Yazi Beast flew past an immense mountain, a loud startling howl resonated out from below. Following which, the mountain burst opened as countless icicles shot out. A terrifying aura could be sensed from below, which caused the Yazi Beast’s speed to reduce significantly.

Traces of solemnnity could be seen within the Yazi Beast’s eyes. It grinned and bellowed, “Jiang Yi, the mutated beast below is extremely powerful. I’m afraid I’m not his opponent.”

Jiang Yi opened up his eyes. Within them were traces of seriousness. Since the Yazi Beast wasn’t his opponent, could the mutated beast’s strength be comparable to a demon thearch?

The icicles descended. The mutated beast revealed its malevolent body, and it possessed an extremely queer shape. It had the shape of a rhinoceros and a pair of very short legs. However, its neck wasn’t just long but was at least 300 meters long. It didn’t have a big head, and it was shaped like a triangle. It had a pair of crystal-like eyes that were filled with coldness; a single stare from it would give one a sense of palpitation.

Tsk! Tsk!

It widened its mouth as all the cold breeze started to coagulate in its mouth. The formidable suction force had actually caused the Yazi Beast to involuntarily flew towards it.

“Hmph!”

The Fire Dragon Sword appeared in Jiang Yi’s hand as he cleaved downwards. Thousands of fire dragon whizzed its way over and towards the large mouth.

Jiang Yi didn’t release his Massacre Intent. He had come across the mutated beasts in the fourth floor of Universal Palace. These mutated beasts possessed no spiritual wisdom. Thus, the Massacre Intent had almost no effect on it. He might as well simply attack it with all his strength.

Tsk! Tsk!

Just when the tens of thousands of fire dragon were several meters away from the mutated beast, it stopped inhaling. Its long and narrow larynx wiggled before it opened mouth and shot out a tiny ice arrow.

“Uh…”

The moment the ice arrow shot out, Jiang Yi was able to sense the power contained within it. It wasn’t because of the arrow’s lightning speed or its terrifying oppression. Rather, it was because the ice arrow’s temperature was just way too low. Everywhere the arrow pierced through, layers of the spatial zone would freeze while the tens of thousands of fire dragons were actually annihilated instantly.

“So cold!”

Although the ice arrow was kilometers away from them, Jiang Yi and the Yazi Beast were able to feel their body freezing; and their blood had stopped circulating. Jiang Yi wanted to open up his mouth to mutter a few sentences. However, the moment he opened up his mouth, he could feel his mouth and tongue had started to freeze as well.

Swish!

The ice arrow’s speed was pretty decent. In a blink of an eye, it was a hundred meters away from the Yazi Beast. Jiang Yi and the Yazi Beast had been turned into ice sculptures. Not only were these human and beast’s blood frozen, but even their soul spirit had also started to freeze.

“Evil creature, time for my retaliation!”

Jiang Yi was raging. With a thought in his mind, he controlled the Universal Palace to store the Yazi Beast in it. He then forcefully made the essence force rushed into his frozen meridians. His right hand lit up in a ray of dark green radiance.

Tsk! Tsk!

The Nine Heavens; Dragon Flames appeared. Its terrifying temperature spread out to the surroundings while the icicles on Jiang Yi were instantly thawed. The surrounding frozen zone had also started to melt rapidly. Following which, he struck out several palm strikes, sending out a sea of flames to clash with the ice arrow.

It was a contest between the ice and fire!

The Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flame was a terrifying mystic flame. It was estimated that even a saint artifact would melt after being burnt by the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames continuously. At this moment, when the Nine Heavens Dragon Flames clashed with this ice arrow, it was actually losing out. The sea of flames disappeared, and only one-third of the ice arrow had been melted.

This ice arrow is too terrifying. If it was any ordinary Vajra Realm martial expert, they would definitely be frozen to death.

Jiang Yi was clicking his tongue silently while he kept on moving his hands to blast out the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames. At the same time, his body had also started to instant-shift. Despite having the flames to protect his body, the closer he was to the ice arrow, the colder he felt. He was afraid that his viscera and meridians would be frostbitten.

“Hmph, evil creature, I still have some matters to attend to. I will come back to take revenge in the future.”

When he saw that after he blasted out a large sea of flames yet the ice arrow had yet to be fully thawed, Jiang Yi sighed inwardly. This mutated beast was way too strong, and he felt that it was a pity.

Dugu Qiu’s Multitude Beast Pagoda had been stored away by him, but Dugu Qiu had yet to perish. He would need to spend a long period of time if he wished to refine this Multitude Beast Pagoda. According to Jiang Yi’s estimation, this Multitude Beast Pagoda was definitely a heaven-defying artifact and was able to suppress all the beasts in the world. If he had refined this Multitude Beast Pagoda, he might be able to tame this mutated beast; and it would be a great assistance to him in the future.

Swish! Swish!

He continued to instant-shift as he left the area. He waited till he could no longer see the figure of the mutated beast before summoning the Yazi Beast and carried on his journey. This time, he didn’t come across any more danger, and after several days, he finally arrived above a precipice at the extreme north of the continent.

Before he even got close to the precipice, Jiang Yi extended his divine senses out. After scanning it once, his eyes lit up like a star.

He discovered a fluctuation of a concealed restriction near the precipice. As expected, there was an illusion array here.
