Fate of the Immortals and Demons

"A Taiyi Lantern? Could it be that this lantern is related to the sun, and that's why it's called a Taiyi Lantern?"

Mo Hei held the Taiyi Lantern in one hand, continuously infusing it with spiritual power, while in the other hand he tightly grasped a spiritual stone to absorb spiritual power.

In fact, continuously infusing spiritual power is indeed a very energy-consuming and mentally exhausting task, especially on the freezing Ice God Peak.

"If such a scorching flame could be extracted and used as alchemy fire, wouldn't it be a great aid to cultivation?"

In fact, this is exactly why Mo Hei coveted this Taiyi Ran Deng?

Just like, if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

Mo Hei was not a good man to begin with, and he was born with the potential to be a demon, so he naturally had an extremely selfish side.

If it weren't for Caidie's persuasion, Mo Hei might have seized the thing by force long ago. Why would he resort to such a desperate measure out of consideration for others' feelings?

"Whatever happens? I have to find a way to get the best of both worlds and take this Taiyi Burning Lamp for myself."

Mo Hei held the Taiyi Lantern in his hand, his heart burning with excitement, and naturally wanted to take it into his pocket.

If it weren't for Caidie's guidance, Mo He would have probably taken the Taiyi Lantern and run away.

How could he rack his brains so hard and think hard about a plan?

"Never mind, let's take it one step at a time and take it slow at first."

With this in mind, Mo Hei followed the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast at a distance of a thousand meters, neither hurried nor slow.

Due to the special nature of the Ice God Peak, the heavy snow and howling cold wind not only obstructed the vision.

Even their spiritual consciousness was suppressed. Mo Hei had clearly noticed that the range of Xuan Ling and A Man's spiritual consciousness was only one thousand meters.

Because of this, Mo Hei relied on his spiritual awareness which was far superior to theirs and deliberately stayed a thousand meters away, just to look for an opportunity and wait for the chance to act.

As we climbed higher and higher, the temperature dropped suddenly. If we were an ordinary person with no cultivation, no matter how thickly we wore, the cold air we breathed would freeze our internal organs.

Even using the expression "water turns into ice" is difficult to describe this extreme cold.

Even Mo Hei, whose cultivation level had reached the late stage of Qi Building, had his breath condensed into icy mist in an instant.

This was also because Mo Hei was holding a Taiyi lamp to provide warmth. Otherwise, his hands and feet would be frozen numb and his movements would be slow. I'm afraid it would take more than ten days or half a month for him to reach the top.

"I never thought this Taiyi burning lamp was so magical, the heat it emits is so strong."

Thanks to the warmth emitted by the burning lamp in his hand, Mo Hei felt as if he was bathed in a spring breeze, and his whole body was warm. He climbed towards the top of the mountain step by step, with his feet firmly on the ground.

The height of the Ice God Peak is only ten thousand feet. When Mo Hei held the Taiyi Lantern and used his spiritual sense to investigate, he deliberately lagged far behind Ah Man and Xuan Ling by a thousand meters.

Ah Man and Xuan Ling had successfully reached the top on their Fire Sheep Dragon Beasts and arrived at the gate of the Ice God Palace ruins.

"Huh? Look, isn't that Princess Xuanling and Commandery Princess A'man from Nanzhao? What are they doing? Why are they riding Fire Sheep Dragon Beasts?"

"Yes! It is said that this Fire Sheep Dragon Beast was tamed as a mount by... an ugly-looking cultivator named Mo Die, wasn't it?"

"By the way, I seem to remember that they have always been holding a Taiyi Burning Lamp as a magic weapon to keep out the cold, right?"

"This is really weird. Could it be that they've exchanged? That's... that's way too uneconomical!"

"..."

Xuan Ling and A Man rode the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast to the top of the mountain and arrived outside the mountain gate of the Ice God Palace ruins.

However, he did not see that many monks had already gathered on the top of the snow-capped peak, and there were about twenty of them.

It goes without saying that they must be the best among the younger generation in this spiritual world.

In fact, the vast majority of them are not from the earthly spiritual world, but from the heavenly spiritual world or the immortal spiritual world.

Anyone who has learned the news and rushed over from the Heavenly Spirit Realm or the Immortal Spirit Realm must be carrying a huge treasure and coming well prepared.

Not only have each of them reached the late stage of Qi Building, but the fire-attributed spirit beasts or magic weapons they possess are obviously not inferior to this Fire Sheep Dragon Beast.

"Huh! A Fire Sheep Dragon Beast? That Mo Die actually dared to come to the Ice God Palace ruins?"

Just as Xuan Ling and Ah Man arrived at the top of the Ice God Peak riding on the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast, they saw a young man with nine demonic patterns on his cheeks. A three-legged fire crow was lying on his left shoulder. As he spoke, he walked towards them with a sinister look on his face.

"Are you Ying Xingjue, known as the greatest genius of the Qinglang Clan in the Qinglang Mountain of the Ten Thousand Demons Country for thousands of years?"

As the young man walked straight up to him, Ah Man, who was still riding on the back of the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast, looked him up and down and asked.

"My fifth cousin, Wolf Brother, although he's mediocre among the younger generation of the Blue Wolf Clan and ranks fifth, he's not someone you can just use as an example to scare others. I just want to ask you, where is Mo Die, the owner of this Fire Sheep Dragon Beast?"

It turned out that this young man was Ying Xingjue, the cousin of Lang Wu from the Demon Spirit Academy. As long as he could successfully establish the ninth-grade foundation in the ruins of the Ice God Palace this time, he would surely become the son-in-law of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.

Facing Ying Xingjue's question, Xuan Ling, riding on the back of the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast, acted as if it had nothing to do with her and said indifferently:

"Why are you in such a hurry? He's right behind here and will be here soon."

Ah Man frowned slightly, having already understood what had happened from Ying Xingjue's words. It must have been Wei Heizi who had killed Ying Xingjue's cousin Lang Wu for some reason.

"Oh, is it so?"

Ying Xingjue responded lightly with a hint of meaning, then came to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the mountain peak. He saw only heavy snow falling and a vast expanse of white, with no human figure in sight.

Even though he used his spiritual sense to investigate, with a range of nearly a thousand meters, he still found nothing.

However, at this moment, outside the mountain gate at the top of the mountain, a group of monks who had reached the top of the mountain did not rush into the ruined ruins of the Ice God Palace.

It was simply because, inside this crumbling mountain gate, heavy snow was falling, creating a scene of desolation. Among the broken pieces of jade and broken walls, many snow elves were wandering and hiding.

Although it has gone through tens of millions of years, it is not difficult to see from these ruins and broken jade pavilions that were frozen in time how magnificent the Ice God Palace was before it was ruined.

Because of this, the monks who arrived at the peak first did not want to be the first to rush into the ruins of the Ice God Palace and become the targets of attack by these ghost-like snow spirits, thus benefiting from the conflict between the two.

Secondly, the ruins of the Ice God Palace are so vast that from this crumbling mountain gate, only the tip of the iceberg can be seen.

The reason why these monks were not in a hurry to break in was that they wanted to recruit some cannon fodder to serve as bait to attract these snow spirits.

After all, these snow spirits are said to be disciples of the Ice God Palace, transformed from vengeful spirits over thousands of years.

This shows how powerful its terrifying strength is.

Although many of them have no intelligence, once they see the breath of a living person, they will go crazy and rush over in a swarm.

It is precisely for this reason that none of the monks who reached the summit first were willing to risk their lives and attract fire from others for no reason.

So much so that they all agreed at the same time and understood each other tacitly, to see who would give up first.

After all, when it comes down to it, these cultivators who have not yet established their foundation, all claim to have amazing talents. How could they be so self-righteous and foolish as to rashly do something that would harm themselves?

In this way, there is a feeling that one's being too clever is actually making things worse.

It's like one monk carries water to drink, two monks lift water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink.

"It's said that there has been only one road to Mount Hua since ancient times. I never thought that the Ice God Peak is the same, with only a winding, narrow path that winds its way to the summit."

When the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast carried Xuan Ling and A Man to the top of the mountain, Mo Hei was already far behind by a thousand meters.

At this moment, through the exploration of spiritual sense, he discovered that except for this dilapidated mountain road paved with stone steps, there was no other way to reach the top of the peak without being noticed.

Just as Mo Hei was holding the Taiyi Lantern and racking his brains for a countermeasure, the two monks at the foot of the mountain were gradually approaching.

Mo Hei had thought about finding another way, soaring into the air and flying up the cliffs outside the mountain road.

However, you have to know that this is on the Ice God Peak, the core area of ​​Ice God Mountain, and it is extremely cold.

If he continued to fly in the air, it would be like adding insult to injury. He would not be able to hold on for long before being dizzy and disoriented by the biting cold wind. He would fall off the peak and would surely be crippled if not dead.

"In that case, I will jump off the mountain."

Seeing that the monks who were climbing the mountain behind him were almost within a thousand meters, Mo Hei made a quick decision, used his spiritual sense, chose a relatively safe and protruding edge of the mountain path, made up his mind, and jumped down from the mountain path.

Just like wealth and honor are sought in danger.

The reason why Mo Hei took such a risk was, first, to covet the Taiyi Ran Deng, second, to paralyze Ying Xingjue who was looking for trouble with him, and third, to create chaos so that he could wait for an opportunity to act.

After all, for Ying Xingjue who was looking for trouble and revenge on him, Mo He could only sigh that enemies often meet on a narrow road.

If it were under normal circumstances, Mo Hei would definitely not be afraid.

But now, in the snowy ruins of the Ice God Palace, of course, his top priority is his own.

With this leap, Mo Hei fell rapidly and felt as if he had suddenly become an ordinary person. Snowflakes were flying in front of his eyes, the cold wind was whistling in his ears, and he seemed to have been frozen into a popsicle.

The advantage was that Mo Hei was holding the Taiyi Lantern in his hand. At the moment he jumped, he poured spiritual power into the Taiyi Lantern, making the flame burn very vigorously.

And relying on the detection range of spiritual consciousness that far exceeded that of ordinary people, he locked onto a pit with thick snow under the snow peak, so that he could fall straight down, and although he fell in a mess, he escaped unscathed.

Because the trail on the snowy peak looked like a winding dragon going upwards, Mo Hei did not fall straight to the foot of the snowy peak when he fell.

Just in time, he crossed the path of the two monks behind him.
