Chapter 491: Chapter 491, Snow Emperor
When Chu Ming arrived, Chu He and Yu Guxue, along with other important members of the Chu Family, were in the hall discussing important affairs. Upon seeing Chu Ming, a hint of surprise appeared in everyone’s eyes.
"You all may leave first!"
Chu He waved his hand, dismissing all unrelated individuals. In an instant, only the three of them remained in the hall.
Chu Ming casually found a place to sit and inquired about some issues regarding the relocation of the Chu Family and Cyan Yang Sect. Chu He answered truthfully, saying that the relocation of the Chu Family and Cyan Yang Sect might be a significant matter for them, but it was really insignificant for the entire Celestial Travel Sect.
"This time I came to bid farewell to you all."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Chu Ming finally spoke. Although the Chu Family was right amidst a tumultuous period following their relocation, he believed that given his reputation in Celestial Travel Sect, it shouldn’t be too hard for the Chu Family to gain a foothold.
"Well, we should have expected this long ago."
Upon hearing this, Chu He bitterly shook his head. With Chu Ming’s increasing strength, their family naturally found it difficult to stay together for long. However, martial artists often pursued the pinnacle of martial arts with little concern for emotional attachments.
"Go without worries, there’s no need to worry about things here in the Chu Family and Cyan Yang Sect."
Yu Guxue’s face turned somber, her eyes slightly reddened, struggling to hold back her tears.
"Hmm."
Chu Ming nodded slightly. He left many resources for Chu He and Yu Guxue and then flew away from the Shanyang Mountains.
A day later, a white figure shot out from Celestial Travel Sect, rushed along the horizon directly towards the west, unnoticed by anyone.
This time when Chu Ming left, he didn’t inform many people.
The Sea of Spiritual Power within him fully activated, and Chu Ming’s speed reached its limit. Since breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm Third Layer, Chu Ming had never traveled at full speed before. Now, with his speed fully unleashed, even he was taken aback by his own pace. According to his estimates, his current speed should have reached half the speed of sound.
...
In the northern part of Celestial Martial Continent lies an ocean with turbulent waves and towering waves, where colossal sea beasts occasionally pass, their shadows appearing faint.
This is the North Sea that everyone fears.
The North Sea is unfathomable and vast, with numerous islands. It’s said that even a King in the Life and Death Realm could not fly to the end of the North Sea in their lifetime. Among these islands, there are also many martial artists with varying strengths; some are merely in the Transcendence Realm, while others possess combat power enough to be emperors on the continent.
Beicang Island, the largest power in the North Sea, controls a quarter of the islands there. It has millions of disciples, and even the sea beasts in the depths of the North Sea are wary of Beicang Island. The ruler of Beicang Island is the famous Snow Emperor, a female emperor in the North Sea.
Beicang Island, Star Extreme Hall.
A woman in a snow robe sat at the head of the hall, barefoot with her delicate jade feet exposed. Her face carried a dignified yet gentle look, her eyes calm as if she could see through everything in the world.
"Xue’Er, you’ve been cultivating under me for over ten years now and have reached a bottleneck. Half a month ago, the Life and Death Tower opened; it’s time for you to leave and undergo some training."
Snow Emperor’s voice was crisp, like celestial music, unlike anything from the mortal realm.
"Master, Xue’Er doesn’t want to leave you."
In front of her, a young girl in a white dress said, her face pale, with a few green strands in her hair. Compared to the Snow Emperor’s cool demeanor, she appeared more charming and naive.
"The opening of the Life and Death Tower this time is significant; it might even influence your future breakthrough to the Life and Death Realm. You must seize this opportunity."
The Snow Emperor’s face turned stern as she slowly explained.
"I understand, Master."
Wang Xue’Er showed a trace of anger, but she knew that her master’s decisions were hard to change.
"Take this jade pendant. Once you reach the Central Divine Domain, just crush it, and someone will come to receive you."
The Snow Emperor’s expression softened. She took out a crystal-clear jade pendant from the storage ring and sent it flying to Wang Xue’Er’s hand. Wang Xue’Er caught it with both hands, feeling a cold sensation from the jade pendant that rushed to her mind, causing her to shiver slightly.
Swoosh!
The Snow Emperor lightly waved her arm, and a space passage formed at Wang Xue’Er’s side. Terrifying suction pulled her directly into it, the space swirling before returning to calm.
...
Yellow Stone Domain is the domain closest to the North Sea. Due to its proximity to the North Sea, many continental martial artists enter the North Sea to hunt sea beasts or explore overseas islands for exotic treasures. As a transit station, it’s naturally a mix of various people and extremely chaotic.
Buzz Buzz Buzz!
At this moment, the space trembled, and an inverse space tunnel appeared suddenly in the air, void aura spreading.
"Someone’s coming out!"
"This time, it might be a big catch. We can make a good haul."
"No matter if it’s a big catch or not, once they fall into our hands, even a miser will be stripped clean."
Not far from the inverse space tunnel, a group of gray-clad martial artists stood quietly. The eyes of the three leading men were fierce and savagely colored, with heavy evil qi around them. It was clear that their hands were stained with many lives.
Swoosh!
Wang Xue’Er emerged from the space tunnel, looking around confused about everything. Before she could react, she was surrounded by three or four dozen martial artists, their eyes filled with killing intent.
"Who are you?"
Wang Xue’Er asked in confusion. Although she wasn’t worldly wise, she could clearly feel the killing intent emanating from the gray-clad martial artists.
"Big brother, what a surprise to find such a pretty girl. Let me capture her and let the brothers have some fun."
A lean man with a lustful look laughed coldly, his body instantly turning into a stream of light, aiming to grab Wang Xue’Er.
Boom!
Wang Xue’Er waved her right hand, ice qi billowing. A hundred-meter-wide ice river instantly surged out, freezing the lean man solid. With a cracking sound, his body shattered into ice chips, leaving not a trace of blood.
"Second brother!!"
The lead gray-clad man’s face changed to shock, his eyes turning red with sorrow.
"Kill her!!!"
Boom boom boom!
Numerous gray-clad bandits instantly attacked simultaneously, colorful fireworks blooming in the sky, dazzlingly brilliant, turning the entire sky.
Crack!
Wang Xue’Er’s gaze was cold, her body surging with ice qi. Snowflakes began to gently fall from the sky, and when they landed on the bandits, they left thumb-sized holes in their bodies. Screams of pain echoed continuously.
...
A month after traveling at full speed, Chu Ming arrived at the border of the Central Divine Domain.
The Central Divine Domain occupies one twentieth of the continent’s domain, but over ninety percent of the continent’s Kings in the Life and Death Realm come from the Central Divine Domain.
Swoosh!
Upon entering the Central Divine Domain, a rich spiritual power rushed toward him. Although the spiritual power in the Sword Domain was not weak, it was clearly lacking compared to the Central Divine Domain.
