I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

If the Misty Palace can stand shoulder to shoulder with the ten major sects in the Northern Region, then the scale of Tianshan City must be quite large, no less than that of the now-collapsed White Emperor City.

The city walls soar into the clouds, and ancient and intricate runes are carved on the giant stones. The walls stretch endlessly, as far as the eye can see.

The city gate was several tens of feet high, and the streets were wide enough for dozens of horse-drawn carriages to travel side by side.

As the first city on the plateau, it was a riot of flowers, with cloud ships constantly passing through the sky. When Shen Ming scanned it with his divine sense, he saw all sorts of rare and precious treasures.

"A lot of people."

Li Miaozhen walked down the street, looking around curiously. When she passed a treasure pavilion, she paused slightly, attracted by the dazzling light inside.

There were flying swords radiating a soft glow, their blades seemingly swirling with spiritual energy; and armor inlaid with spiritual pearls, the pearls seemingly shrouded in mist.

After pausing for a while, Li Miaozhen didn't go in; she seemed more like a passerby.

People who prefer quiet can only feel the lively atmosphere and experience the popularity, but they won't truly immerse themselves in it.

However, wherever she went, both men and women cast their gazes at her.

There are countless female cultivators in the city, and because of their cultivation, they are all incredibly beautiful.

Compared to this one, they all pale in comparison.

She seemed to be shrouded in a light mist, and everyone felt that she was exceptionally beautiful, dazzling, and had a unique feeling.

The young men from prominent families in the city couldn't contain themselves and tried to approach, but were immediately driven away by the people from the Misty Palace.

Because Li Miaozhen was with Shen Ming, even though their first meeting was unpleasant, Shen Ming was still a Sovereign Realm expert.

Naturally, they wouldn't allow those fools from the Misty Palace to cause trouble.

Shen Ming handed the Daluo Palace over to Li Miaozhen and instructed the Black Dragon to look after it inside before heading to the snow mountain to investigate.

The Great Luo Palace is well-equipped for both offense and defense. Not to mention the strength of the Eternal Divine Light and the Black Dragon themselves, they were able to bring Li Miaozhen inside in the first instance.

……

The Misty Palace is a magnificent city gate, with the gate alone being dozens of feet high. It is made of a single piece of purple gold, and the eaves and brackets are all carved from spirit jade.

"He went to the snow mountain?" Yun Qianqiu had been keeping an eye on Shen Ming's movements.

The Misty Palace regards the snow mountain as a sacred mountain and refuses outsiders in the name of its inviolability.

However, the snow-capped mountains stretch for hundreds of thousands of miles, forming a formidable barrier that separates the two regions, and they lack the ability to completely cover them with a large formation.

"It seems he really wants to participate in the hunting war and seek opportunities," another elder judged.

"Even those below the Sovereign Realm level who are at least King level in the core area of ​​the Snow Mountain can't handle the cold wind. He really dares to think so."

"Forget it, as long as he doesn't enter the Nine Dragons Formation, let him be."

The Nine Dragons Formation is a grand formation built from the nine main peaks of the snow mountain, forming a triangular area that monopolizes the main vein of the snow mountain.

At this very moment, Shen Ming was perched atop the endless snow-capped mountains.

The snow-capped mountains resemble white behemoths rising from the earth, with overlapping peaks and undulating ridges.

The endless white stretches into the distance, merging with the white clouds on the horizon, as if the world itself were a vast, silvery ocean.

A biting wind swept through like a knife, carrying with it an icy chill.

Shen Ming frowned. The situation was not as optimistic as he had imagined. The snow-capped mountain range was 15,000 kilometers long from north to south and 20,000 kilometers wide from east to west.

Finding the red spider lily is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"No wonder the Half-Immortal Medicine is only discovered when it is born into the world."

Shen Ming sighed, "When I am born, there will be a radiant glow and a thousand auspicious rays, which can be seen from a great distance."

Semi-immortal medicines all possess spirituality. Once mature, they will soar into the sky and disappear. Before maturity, they will also conceal their aura.

"Fortunately, I have cultivated the Eye of Truth."

Thinking this, Shen Ming activated his Eye of Truth, and the pure white world turned gray, with various spiritual objects displaying different colors as he looked into it.

The elixir is aquamarine, the precious medicine and the holy medicine are purple, and the elixir of immortality is gold.

If you look carefully, you can find quite a few spiritual herbs, and occasionally you can find a few precious herbs. However, sacred herbs and elixirs of immortality are extremely rare.

As Shen Ming continued to venture deeper, his body became covered in a layer of frost.

Even with the constitution of the Ancient Sacred Body, the golden blood no longer boils.

A howling wind blew, and he felt cold.

For cultivators at the Dominator Realm, having such a feeling is quite uncommon.

"This is only the edge of the core area of ​​the snow mountain."

Without hesitation, Shen Ming entered the core area of ​​the snow mountain, and golden light immediately appeared in the vision of his Eye of Truth.

He used his escape technique, transforming into a beam of divine light. Just as he approached, a deafening roar abruptly interrupted him.

That's a snow ape!

Its entire body is pure white, and every inch of its fur looks as if it were sculpted from the purest ice and snow. Its fur color is exactly the same as the surrounding snow scene, naturally blending into the mountain scenery.

Shen Ming didn't notice it at first.

Its body was extremely tall, standing up like a moving white mountain, its muscles faintly visible beneath its white fur, possessing the power to shake mountains.

His eyes flashed with a cold light, like sharp arrows, fixed intently on Shen Ming.

A fifth-tier demon, and a lord-level beast king at that.

Guarding this elixir of immortality, they regarded Shen Ming as an intruder and roared to shatter his escape technique.

Shen Ming thought for a moment, then lifted the Hengyu Cauldron with one hand and smashed it down below.

The golden Hengyu Cauldron pierced through the cold wind, pressing down like a mountain.

Seeing that he still dared to attack, the snow ape threw a punch, the wind of which was wrapped with the icy cold air of heaven and earth.

The momentum of the Hengyu Cauldron slowed down, and a thick layer of frost formed on its body.

Although the Hengyu Cauldron dispelled the frost, the destructive power of this attack was greatly reduced.

The snow ape slammed its fist into the Hengyu Cauldron, sending it flying back.

Immediately afterwards, the snow ape leaped over like a meteor, causing the snow mountain beneath its feet to crack and trigger an avalanche and flash flood.

Shen Ming wanted to use the Eternal Divine Seal to repel it, but he also wanted to test his strength against the powerful enemy in his physical body on the snow mountain.

So, he threw a punch with his eternal and indestructible divine power.

The man and the ape collided in the sky, like meteorites colliding. The snow ape crashed back to the ground, while Shen Ming flew hundreds of meters upward.

Although he wasn't injured, Shen Ming's arm was covered in a layer of frost.

The snow ape, engulfed in undying wind and thunder, rolled and tumbled on the ground, causing a violent earthquake.

Strangely enough, the snow actually extinguished the wind and thunder.

The runes interwoven in the snow ape's fur contain profound, almost supernatural, meanings.

Shen Ming had no intention of continuing to make a move. He sensed terrifying auras awakening deep within the snow-capped mountains and began to observe the area.

That was a powerful demon king who was no less powerful than a snow ape!

Most importantly, Shen Ming can only exert 60% of his combat power here at most.

Deep in the snow-capped mountains, the cold intensifies, freezing everything in its path.

However, amidst this vast expanse of ice and snow, a magical stream meanders through the landscape.

The stream flowed gently, unaffected by the severe cold and free from freezing.

One of the spider lilies seemed to sense something, glowing and shimmering, as if it were about to stir.

The red spider lily has developed consciousness; although its divine sea is still hazy, it is already capable of thought.

The red spider lily wanted to soar into the sky and catch up with the aura it had just sensed.

It was that aura that created it!
