Chance Encounter with Ice River

While Venerable Tian Huo was lamenting, Xiao Ming had already summoned his spirit back into his body, helping it to completely absorb the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder.

Seeing this, Venerable Tian Huo also found a place to sit down and close his eyes to rest.

Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder was completely devoured by Xiao Ming.

Under the influence of the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder, Xiao Ming's body was tempered once again.

At the same time, Xiao Ming's Aura also reached the Eight Star Dou Zong.

The Aura that seemed to soar like a rocket left Venerable Tian Huo speechless. He thought to himself that the Heavenly Mysterious Thunder truly lived up to its reputation as the most wondrous treasure in the world. As long as one could withstand its body-training, one's strength would advance by leaps and bounds.

When Xiao Ming had absorbed most of the energy exhaled by the spirit, he told the spirit to stop feeding back.

Although the spirit can still absorb energy, it's about time to leave, otherwise the Xiao Yi Xian will get hurt again.

Venerable Tian Huo noticed the anomaly, stood up, walked to Xiao Ming, stroked his beard, and laughed.

"Your cultivation speed truly leaves this old man speechless! Hahaha!"

"Relying on external things is nothing to be praised."

Xiao Ming chuckled and said something, then stood up, clenched his fist, and his body was covered in Lightning. A bolt of Lightning erupted from his body and struck a rock, instantly shattering it into dust that scattered throughout the space.

"This Lightning power is quite strong; it truly lives up to its name, Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder," Venerable Tian Huo remarked in surprise, looking at the powder scattered on the ground.

The rocks in the Falling Thunder Mountain Range are constantly struck by lightning, making them highly resistant to Lightning and very sturdy.

It's not easy to pulverize a boulder with just a tiny Lightning.

"This power is indeed impressive. Learning some Lightning Attribute Dou Skill would be a good choice."

Although he wanted to learn some Lightning Attribute Dou Skill, Xiao Ming knew that this matter might have to be postponed.

Because his main skill is Fire Attribute, even if he adds some Lightning Attribute Dou Skill, it won't increase his combat power much. At most, it will only increase his adaptability, and it will waste a lot of his time.

In the path of cultivation, quality is more important than quantity.

Of course, if there are any particularly useful high-level Lightning Attribute Dou Skill, Xiao Ming wouldn't mind giving them a try.

As he loosened his fist, the Lightning coiled around Xiao Ming's body was slowly absorbed into his own.

"Old Yao, how long have we been in the Falling Thunder Mountain Range?"

"It's been about 30 days since I came in," Venerable Tian Huo replied.

"30 days... It's time to leave. Let's go find Xian'er and the others."

Because Xiao Ming had already left marks on Xiao Yi Xian and the others, searching for Xiao Yi Xian wasn't like running around like headless flies.

Based on their senses, Xiao Ming and Venerable Tian Huo flew directly towards the nearest Spatial Wormhole.

During the next few days of travel, Xiao Ming focused his mind on stabilizing his suddenly surging Dou Qi.

To be honest, Xiao Ming's Dou Qi has increased too rapidly in the past few months, inevitably causing some instability.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming possessed the Fallen Heart Flame, a divine cultivation artifact that constantly tempered his internal Dou Qi. Otherwise, Xiao Ming would not have dared to adopt such a reckless method to improve his strength.

Even so, in order to quickly familiarize himself with and master his own Dou Qi, Xiao Ming calmed down and controlled the Fallen Heart Flame to temper his Dou Qi.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye during this cultivation. When Xiao Ming opened his eyes one day, he saw the silver halo in the distance, where a rich Spatial Fluctuation was overflowing.

"We're almost there..." said Venerable Tian Huo, who was in charge of controlling the Spatial Ship, as he gazed at the silver halo.

As the reaction to the mark he left on Xiao Yi Xian became increasingly pronounced, Xiao Ming abruptly stood up, and the pale white fluorescent light flowing across his body slowly receded into his body...

Like a streak of silver light, the Spatial Ship flashed through the passage, and in the blink of an eye, it approached the location of the light circle. Under such violent Spatial Fluctuation, the ship's hull also began to shake rapidly.

Xiao Ming and his companion paid no heed to the turbulence, their expressions remaining calm. With a whoosh, they maneuvered their Spatial Ship and sped away. In the blink of an eye, the silver halo was within reach...

This is a huge and vast stone platform, entirely made of snow-white rock. What is particularly surprising is that this stone platform is nearly a hundred meters high, and what supports it to reach such a height are a dozen or so giant stone pillars.

The stone pillars support the stone platform, like pillars reaching to the sky, making it appear extremely majestic and spectacular from a distance.

The space on this stone platform is extremely different from other places. It appears exceptionally chaotic, with a large area of space that is extremely distorted, and even faint black cracks spreading out from it.

This distorted space constantly emitted bursts of silver light, and with each appearance of the silver light, numerous figures were ejected from the space and landed on the stone platform below.

In the distorted space, another silver light flashed, and two figures, one old and one young, darted out from it. Then, they lightly touched the air with their feet and slowly landed on the stone platform.

The figures ejected by the distorted space were naturally Xiao Ming and Venerable Tian Huo.

After landing, he breathed a sigh of relief, glanced around to get a sense of direction, and then gestured for Venerable Tian Huo to leave.

Suddenly, a violent Spatial Fluctuation appeared in the distant sky behind Xiao Ming, and then more than a dozen specially made white luxury flying boats appeared in this sky.

The sudden appearance of the luxurious airship immediately attracted the attention of countless eyes, and then a series of exclamations rang out.

"People from Ice River Valley! What are they doing here?"

"I have heard that Woeful Poison Body' has recently been discovered. Ice River Valley is known for collecting people with special physiques, so perhaps they're here for this reason."

"The Woeful Poison Body! No wonder the Ice River Valley reacts like Magical Beast to the smell of blood whenever a special physique is discovered."

"I wonder if the news about the Woeful Poison Body is true or not. It's good that the people from Ice River Valley came; otherwise, if that Woeful Poison Body were to erupt, we'd really be in trouble!"

Amidst the discussions, hundreds of disciples dressed in white robes disembarked from the flying boat.

The leader was an elderly man with a full head of white hair. He wore a white velvet coat with snowflake patterns on it. His hair and beard were all white, and he always had a seemingly warm smile on his face. But for some reason, he exuded a chill from the inside out.

As the White Velvet Old Man appeared, another commotion broke out, and exclamations of surprise rang out once more.

"That... that's Great Elder Tian Shuangzi of Ice River Valley? This... I actually Ice River Valley even him? It's said that Tian Shuangzi reached the Dou Zun level several years ago!"

"The Ice River Valley really went all out to capture the Woeful Poison Woman; it seems the matter of the Woeful Poison Body is true..."
