Liu Chuchu pursed her lips and ignored Xue Zhantian’s furious tirade before turning to the remaining ten snow soul beasts with a forlorn expression. “Are we just going to leave these snow soul beasts here? They’re very cute as well. It feels like it would be a shame to leave them.”

An Lin shrugged in response. “We can’t sign beast pet contracts with them, so we can’t take them back to Tai Chu Continent. As such, we can only leave them here.”

“Sigh…” Liu Chuchu was extremely unwilling to part with these snow soul beasts. She squatted down next to them before speaking to them in a gentle voice, “You have to grow up and cultivate hard. I’ll come back for you guys in five hundred years and take you to eat yummy food as well as to explore a new world. You have to wait for me, ok?”

An Lin was a little speechless. Five hundred years? Wasn’t she thinking a bit too far ahead?

All the snow soul beasts crowded around Liu Chuchu while uttering a string of unintelligible syllables as if they were bidding her farewell. Xue Mengmeng was also conversing with them with a wistful expression on his face, as if he was bidding farewell to them too.

Xue Zhantian, meanwhile, had a lot more poise. It uttered a farewell poem with a nonchalant expression to exemplify the spirit of a perfect leader.

After successfully signing a beast pet contract, Liu Chuchu began to dispel the seals on all the other snow soul beasts before bidding them farewell a final time.

An Lin and the others then decided to leave the Hanging Ice Lake quickly as it was simply too cold for them to bear.

Using her tentacles, Ling Ying carried Hong Dou, who was now an ice sculpture, out from the cave.

With an exasperated expression, An Lin used his Divine Flames to defrost Hong Dou.

After leaving the cave, Hong Dou’s spiritual flame deactivated its self-preservation mechanism and slowly began to reignite.

He turned to look at An Lin and Liu Chuchu as well as the adorable round snow soul beasts flying alongside them with a perplexed expression.

“Did I miss something?” he asked with a curious expression.

An Lin couldn’t be bothered to explain, and so, he gave a sarcastic reply. “Yes, the Qing Dynasty has just fallen.”

Thus, everyone resumed their search for Realm Essence Crystals.

“The next place we’re going to is the main peak of the Heavenly Snow Abyss Mountain. That is the place that is closest to the Heavenly Abyss, and there’s a very good chance of Realm Essence Crystals appearing there.” An Lin brought out a small map and labeled a few important locations before speaking.

The Heavenly Snow Abyss Mountain was just over five hundred kilometers away from where they were located, and they could see the massive rift in the distant sky.

As they drew closer and closer to the mountain, they were able to sense the destructive power within the inky black rift.

They couldn’t tell what was inside the rift. From their perspective, it looked like a gargantuan mouth that was able to swallow all things. The rift was also emanating a chaotic and destructive aura.

After flying for a while longer, Liu Chuchu picked out the summit of a mountain before using her telescopic eyes to assess the situation around the main peak of the Heavenly Snow Abyss Mountain. She was the best scout in the entire group as she was able to use her abilities to survey the entire surrounding area in order to get a grasp on enemy locations before their enemies could catch sight of them.

Liu Chuchu stood atop the mountain before surveying her surroundings, and she was focusing her gaze at the main peak when a surprised expression appeared on her face.

She chuckled with a mocking tone and said, “Hah, there’s a battle between scum taking place on the main peak as we speak…”

An Lin blinked with incomprehension and asked, “Battle between scum?”

“There are four lizard dragons battling six snow maidens on the peak, tsk… These lizard dragons sure are powerful; the snow maidens are completely no match for them…” Liu Chuchu provided commentary as she took pleasure in the misfortune of their enemies.

An Lin came to a sudden realization upon hearing this. The lizard dragons were members of the Dragon Tribe in the Western Heavenly Dragon Forest, which was an opposing power for the Heavenly Court.

They were a powerful force with extremely complete inheritances, thereby resulting in extremely powerful cultivators—all of whom were capable of fighting many cultivators of the same cultivation base at once.

“Looks like we can just wait for the lizard dragons to kill all the snow maidens, then we can swoop in and kill all the lizard dragons! Ten storage rings…” Liu Chuchu’s eyes were practically glowing with excitement as she considered this massive haul.

An Lin knew that this was Liu Chuchu’s occupational disease.

However, he didn’t really object to her plan. He did not bear any ill will against the snow maidens, but he harbored no sympathy for them whatsoever.

Even his friend, Shangguan Yi, had been abducted by the snow maidens, so he certainly wasn’t going to feel sorry for them even if they were about to be slain by the lizard dragons.

Wait… Shangguan Yi?

An Lin’s expression faltered as a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Soul Formation Stage snow maidens were able to enter the Ancient Divine Division, so did that mean that Shangguan Yi was here as well? After all, she was also a Soul Formation Final Stage cultivator.

Meanwhile, on the main peak of the Heavenly Snow Abyss Mountain…

A black dragon of about a hundred feet in size with gale-force winds that revolved around its body like sharp swords crashed through a snow maiden’s ice crystal defensive formation with fearsome force before mercilessly tearing her body to shreds.

“Hahahaha… I’ll be taking the essential energy of this snow maiden then.” The black dragon swallowed the body of the snow maiden as a cruel smile appeared on its face.

“I’ll kill you!” Palace Leader Qi’s huge wings of ice spread open, and she threw herself at the black dragon while making an ancient seal with her hands. The blue ancient seal expanded relentlessly before instantly vanquishing the gale-force winds around the black dragon and crashing into its body.

Boom!

The black dragon’s body caved in under the force of the ancient seal, and it flew back with blood gushing from its mouth.

Right at this moment, the sound of a snow maiden’s screech erupted nearby.

Palace Leader Qi turned just in time to see a white dragon that was holding twin golden swords slicing a snow maiden’s body in half.

“Palace Leader, we have to run. If things continue on like this, then we’re all going to die,” a petite snow maiden implored Palace Leader Qi with a desperate expression.

She didn’t want to sacrifice herself here, and her fear of death had already erased any battle intent she had.

Palace Leader Qi responded with a cold expression, “Lu Wei, don’t forget our mission. We can’t abandon Shangguan Yi, no matter what. Even if she dies, we have to make sure we die before her!”

Lu Wei bit down on her lower lip with indignation and displeasure.

At this moment, a lightning dragon whose entire body was enveloped by blue lightning had already descended upon her at blinding speed.

Without the protection of Palace Leader Qi, she would have no chance of escaping. If she were to attempt an escape, then all that would await her would be death…

There was simply no way out. Lu Wei raised her sword above her head. She then let loose an enraged cry before charging toward the lightning dragon with all her might, only to be blasted away by countless bolts of blue lightning.

Not only was the blue lightning extremely powerful, but it also worked to seal her sea of vital energy as it paralyzed her entire body.

Despair appeared on her face as she looked up at the lightning lizard dragon descending upon her.

A disconsolate smile appeared on her face. She had come all this way only to be sacrificial cannon fodder for someone else.

However, right at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared before her with golden lightning revolving around the black sword in his hand.

The lightning lizard dragon immediately roared with rage, “You dare to intervene in our battle, human? Piss off! Otherwise, I’ll blast you to death with my lightning!”

As it spoke, the lightning around the dragon’s body was already descending upon the man’s body with earthshattering force. The entire sky was painted blue as the sound of clapping thunder reverberated throughout heaven and earth.

The white-robed man smiled coldly. “Blast me to death? That’s the funniest joke I’ve heard all year.

“You don’t even know what real lightning is…”

Using his black sword, the man slashed nonchalantly toward the lightning lizard dragon in the distance, and golden lightning imbued with the power to pulverize space flashed through the air. Meanwhile, all the blue bolts of lightning suddenly turned around as if they had a mind of their own before accompanying the golden bolt of lightning as it sped toward the lizard dragon.

“I… impossible!”

The lightning lizard dragon’s eyes widened in shock and confusion.

In the next instant, the golden lightning had already sliced its body in half as it carved out a magnificent trail of gold in the air, which was accompanied by a shower of blood.

Lu Wei stared blankly at the scenes unfolding before her eyes as a confident and powerful image of the man was etched deeply into her mind.

“You’re… a human?

“I’ve been saved by a human?”

Lu Wei felt like she was dreaming.
