Even under the starry night, when Li Yan and his companions were still hundreds of miles away from the long wall of ice and snow, the scenery ahead came into view while they were flying in the air. In the dark night, the long wall of ice and snow was like a giant ice crystal dragon blocking the sky and the earth, blocking all ways. Merging with the starlight in the sky, countless crystal bright spots were reflected on the ice wall. For a moment, there was no distinction between heaven and earth, as if the sky and the earth were dotted with twinkling stars. It was spectacular, and people were amazed at its magnificence and fantasy.
In front of Li Yan and his companions, a long wall of ice and snow stretched endlessly from east to west, as if it had no end and stretched endlessly. It was also like a piece of ice crystal snow curtain connecting heaven and earth, vertically connecting heaven and earth among the stars in the Milky Way.
Li Yan was shocked by this dreamlike scene, and secretly sighed at the skills of the great cultivator who refined this treasure. He could not imagine such a scene even in his dreams. For a moment, he thought of Gong Chenying and Zhao Min. If the two women were also here, accompanying him by his side, gazing at the dreamy ice crystal snow curtain in the night sky, what a paradise it would be then. Isn't the purpose of cultivating immortals to live a carefree and happy life
Some people say that cultivating immortals is the way to longevity, but Li Yan was forced to cultivate immortals. Even though he has now accepted the fact and knows the value of longevity, he cares more about the freedom and ease in his heart. Otherwise, even if he can cultivate immortals to the top level, he is alone, so what? In his heart, he is just a piece of stubborn stone.
For a moment, Li Yan's flying slowed down a bit, and a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes, but it was only a moment, and he regained his clarity. All this fell into the eyes of Cheng Wenming and the other two beside him. In their eyes, they were even more certain of the result of Li Yan's first visit to the Beiming Demon Suppression Tower, otherwise they would not have such amazed eyes.
“Haha, Brother Jiang, this melting cave is extremely magnificent. When I saw it for the first time, I was amazed. I really admire the methods of the senior who refined the North Ming Demon Suppression Tower. It’s unpredictable, especially when there are female cultivators coming here. There are many people who wish they could live here forever, haha…” Cheng Wenming smiled and spoke to Li Yan. In the past half day, he no longer called Li Yan "fellow Taoist", but brother. It seemed that he and Li Yan were closer at once, as if they were old friends.
Li Yan also admired Cheng Wenming's ability to interact with others. This man had excellent eloquence. And to be honest, although cultivators would be cautious with their words when they first met, although Cheng Wenming seemed to be "chatty", he would not make people hate him from the bottom of their hearts. Every word he said either explained some important information or expressed what others were thinking. This made people admire him. Take the few words he said just now for example. If Gong and Zhao were here, he believed they would really want to linger here for a while longer.
Li Yan smiled and nodded to show his agreement, and then the four of them continued to move towards the long wall of ice and snow. As they continued to fly closer, the light spots on their clothes were slowly refracted by the ice crystals and snow curtain, reflecting a hazy and colorful light, which made the four of them look more mysterious.
At this time, some monks had already appeared in Li Yan's consciousness. In fact, they had met three groups of monks during the half-day journey. Just as Cheng Wenming said, lone monks were quite conspicuous here. The groups of foundation-building monks they met were at least two people, and as many as six. However, after confirming the location of the four of them from a distance, they flew away in different directions. These teams included monks, laymen, and Taoists, and most of them traveled together.
They even met a group of Qi Condensation cultivators. When these cultivators saw Li Yan and his group, their faces changed drastically and they left quickly, fearing that Li Yan and his group would take action. When Cheng Wenming and his group saw the Qi Condensation cultivators, they all looked extremely cold, but they did not kill them. They did not care about the things on these Qi Condensation cultivators. Moreover, more than 90% of the Qi Condensation cultivators who could come here had powerful forces behind them. Therefore, if there were no conflicts of interest, even the Foundation Establishment cultivators did not want to bother doing meaningless things. Although any one of them could kill these Qi Condensation cultivators with a wave of their hands, who knew if they would have any tracking marks left by the sect or family, or if the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators hiding in the dark saw their actions and had a handle on them.
This situation is normal, but if the Qi Condensation cultivators get something they shouldn't have, it's not impossible for Cheng Wenming and his men to kill and rob. They have to act without hesitation. Risk and immortal fate do not coexist, it's just a matter of whether it's worth it or not.
As for the team of Foundation Establishment cultivators they encountered, they must have a lot of good things on them, but neither side had any intention of taking action. Unless they encountered real treasures, they were just being wary of each other.
Li Yan once asked Master Xue Ye, on the first floor of the Beiming Demon Suppression Tower, generally only the Qi Condensation cultivators would fight each other, while the Foundation Establishment cultivators would restrain themselves. Most of them came here for the second floor or above, where there were the natural materials and treasures needed by the Foundation Establishment cultivators, and that was where they would fight for life and death.
As they gradually approached the long wall of ice and snow, more and more cultivators gathered from the east, west and north. Within the thousand-mile range covered by Li Yan's spiritual sense, at least twenty people appeared. However, as the long wall of ice and snow shaped like a concave, there were naturally more cultivators outside of Li Yan's spiritual sense.
“Although it is difficult to enter the North Ming Demon Suppression Tower, there are so many cultivators in the Wild Moon Continent that there are still many cultivators who are willing to spend huge amounts of spirit stones to come here. But even if there are hundreds of people here, they are only rare compared to the cultivators in the entire continent. Especially according to Master Xue Ye, there were dozens of people in their team, but only a few got out alive. Many of them were killed by the evil spirits and monsters here. The magic weapons and materials on them were left here and became the targets of others' treasure hunts next time.” A distance of hundreds of miles is only a hundred breaths of time for Li Yan and his companions. Soon the four of them arrived at the foot of the long wall of ice and snow. Li Yan was still staying in the air and did not land on the ground. He looked up. The long wall of ice and snow was like a shield connecting heaven and earth, blocking everyone's footsteps.
Li Yan had long noticed that on the bright and colorful wall, there were many snow caves, and some scenes inside the caves could be vaguely seen. From the cave entrance, it was a deep blue, and then it was dark and deep inside. There was no rule for the arrangement of these snow cave entrances, and they were not uniform, but there were some rules to be found, that is, the distance between two snow caves was at least a hundred feet.
"Brother Jiang, the 'melt holes' are on the ice and snow wall. The distance between the two melt holes is quite far. As long as you are careful and alert, even if other cultivators launch a sneak attack when breaking the restriction, there will still be a chance to react. What's more, the long ice and snow wall is too wide, and there are many 'melt holes' on it. Therefore, the cultivators who come here will often choose the 'melt holes' that are far away before breaking the restriction. We will just choose one at random. Anyway, no one knows what the situation will be after entering, and we can't even know whether the distance inside is short or long. Maybe after all the hard work, there may be only one 'Snow Spirit Lord' in the cave." Looking at the long ice and snow wall in front of him, Cheng Wenming showed a happy smile on his fat face.
Li Yan nodded, looking at the melting cave in front of him, he preferred to call it a snow cave, which he thought was more appropriate. On the way they were flying here, they passed by a melting cave entrance where three monks gathered, which was only a thousand feet away from them. One of the Taoists, when he saw Li Yan and his four companions flying from afar, immediately stopped attacking the "melting cave" and also stopped the rest of his companions from breaking the restriction. Instead, he looked over vigilantly. After confirming that the flight path of Li Yan and his four companions had deviated from them, the three Taoists whispered a few words, and after Li Yan and his four companions were far away, they turned around and continued to break the restriction, but Li Yan could feel that the three Taoists' consciousness had been firmly locked on the four of them.
Led by Cheng Wenming, the four flew eastward for about a hundred miles. They stopped only after confirming with their spiritual sense that no cultivators appeared within a radius of dozens of miles. Then they looked at each other and got really close to the long wall of ice and snow. Li Yan had been observing on the road. Now that he had time to investigate carefully, he could see from the entrance of the snow cave that the ground inside the cave was covered with a layer of dark blue ice and snow, as if there was some kind of light shining on it. There was nothing like a diaphragm blocking the entrance of the cave, and it looked unobstructed. Li Yan knew that if he thought so, he would suffer a great loss. The forbidden attacks at the entrance of the "Melting Cave" were endless, including blizzard attacks, hurricane attacks, ice arrow attacks, ice spike attacks, etc. It was by no means as calm and harmless as it seemed on the surface.
Since you don't want to wait, just do it when you think of it. "Fellow Daoist Cheng, are we entering from here now?" Li Yan said lightly.
"Of course, there are relatively frequent monks coming and going outside the long wall of ice and snow, so it is not common to see monsters. This place is just spectacular and beautiful, but we are not here to enjoy the scenery. There are no monsters to hunt here, so it is better to enter early." Cheng Wenming and his two companions have been here twice. Although the scenery is like a dream, they have no mood to appreciate it. They are even more anxious to enter the melting cave than Li Yan.
Li Yan nodded and had no objection to this.
"That's the one in front of us!" Cheng Wenming pointed to a snow cave in front of them on the long wall of ice and snow. Anyway, there is such a melt cave every hundred feet, so there is no need to be picky.
"Well, brother Jiang, you don't have to take action for the time being. The three of us should be able to break the restrictions here. After all, we have been here several times and we are confident in breaking the restrictions here. Haha!" Cheng Wenming waved his fat hand with a very open-minded look. After this journey, they already knew Li Yan's cultivation and his expertise in fire-related magical powers. Now they just wanted to enter the Rong Cave as soon as possible.
Although the "Rongdong" restriction is quite impressive, it is only set up on the first floor of the tower. If several foundation-building monks cannot open it, there is no need to talk about going to the second floor.
As soon as Cheng Wenming finished speaking, Ye Xiuwen and Tan Zeshan nodded slightly to Li Yan, and then flew directly towards the melted hole on the wall of ice and snow.
