The ability to freely enter and exit the Bleak-Cold Ravine is their trump card.

In this way, the Bleak-Cold Ravine became their source of soldiers and training ground, and could continuously supply combat power at all levels.

In fact.

Lu Qingfeng had this idea in mind as soon as he heard about the situation in the Bleak-Cold Ravine. However, at that time he was unaware of the feud between the Six Wings and the Northern Frost Snow Domain. He was just thinking about selecting top True Immortal from the Bleak-Cold Ravine, either to serve in Southern Ridge or to be sent to the God-Seizing General's Manor.

These True Immortal were trapped in the Bleak-Cold Ravine, unable to escape despite all their efforts.

Lu Qingfeng used this as an incentive, and it might not be a problem to make them serve him permanently. If he only made them serve for a certain number of years in exchange for a life of freedom and adventure, he thought no one would refuse.

Now there's another region to deal with – the Northern Frost Snow Domain– which is just right.

Although Lin Ye had only recently achieved the status of Earth Immortal, he was more than capable of managing the affairs of the Bleak-Cold Ravine. Lin Feng, having been delayed for so many years, also needed time for stable development. With Lin Ye by his side, providing cultivation resources and guidance in swordsmanship was no problem at all.

Lu Qingfeng did not intend to make any other arrangements for Lin Feng.

After hearing Lu Qingfeng's plan, Lin Ye couldn't refute it. With her strength, going to the Northern Frost Snow Domain might really cause trouble for her teacher.

Thinking to myself.

Lin Ye frowned again and asked, "In that case, what about Southern Ridge?"

Southern Ridge is also crucial.

Wen Guang is still fighting in Southern Ridge. If there is no master of the Earth Immortal level to guard him for a long time, it will be very dangerous.

Southern Ridge?

Lu Qingfeng looked towards the depths of the sky Strange-Earth Cave and couldn't help but smile, "There is a candidate in the Bleak-Cold Ravine."

Bleak-Cold Ravine.

Before Lin Ye arrived, there were only three Earth Immortal.

The Blazing-Fire Demon Emperor and the Origin-Returning Immortal Venerable were the most Zhang Yang, each establishing their own Demon Court and Immortal Court, commanding numerous cultivators. They fought amongst themselves in their spare time, and their cultivation levels became quite impressive.

However, the former Attainment of the Dao by Blazing-Fire Caterpillar, and while its fire-based Divine Ability were not bad, they were still mediocre. The Law Treasure 'Blazing-Fire Caterpillar,' forged from thousands of offspring, was merely at the level of an ordinary Immortal Artifact.

Having lived for countless years and attained the status of Earth Immortal for 640,000 years, he is still lingering in the Dust-Cleansing Realm, unable to break through.

As for the Origin-Returning Immortal Venerable.

Although he possessed extraordinary talent and attained the status of Earth Immortal in the Desolate Bleak-Cold Ravine, the ravine was inherently harsh and cold. Without the guidance of seniors or discussions with Earth Immortal, his cultivation could hardly progress.

Remaining in the Dust-Cleansing Realm.

Even a dignified Earth Immortal cannot gather enough materials to refine Immortal Artifact.

Four hundred thousand years passed after he attained enlightenment.

He managed to forge an Immortal Artifact entirely with a single breath of Pure Yang. Lu Qingfeng had seen that Immortal Artifact before; it was a celestial sword, which was considered utterly worthless among first-tier Immortal Artifact.

It's utterly insignificant.

With Lin Ye's wealth and resources, he is fully capable of dealing with these two.

After all, he had attained enlightenment through the Orthodox Grade Luofu Sword Canon and cultivated the Divine Ability 'Cloud-Peak Step' for ten thousand years. After attaining enlightenment, Lu Qingfeng even went on to impart his knowledge to others—

The Profound Grade "Luofu Sword Canon".

The Great Divine Ability 'Cloud-Peak Step'.

The Great Divine Ability 'Taiyin Calamity-Crossing Robe'.

This level of skill is far superior even to many Earth Immortal from the Mystic Sect sects in the Earth Immortal Realm.

Once Lin Ye has properly cultivated and thoroughly mastered all the techniques and great supernatural powers, he will be able to face immortals with inherited wealth and power, such as Guiyuanzi and Liehuo Zunzhe, without fear.

Not to mention she also has the second-tier Immortal Artifact 'Five-Brilliance Ghost-Subduing Fan' in her hand, her combat power is rising rapidly, making her even more troublesome.

But in the Bleak-Cold Ravine.

There was another Earth Immortal, but Lin Ye was not someone he could deal with.

According to Pan Ji and Zhong Qiu, Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal is gentle and devoted to the art of array formations. Many people speculate that his rash entry into the Bleak-Cold Ravine was likely due to his interest in the array formations left behind by Grand Marshal Yang Sen.

Lu Qingfeng walked through the sky, stepping through layers of mist.

The fog obscures the view.

Lu Qingfeng cannot be hidden.

With a faint light in his eyes, Lu Qingfeng arrived at an unknown place deep in the sky.

At first glance, this place seems unremarkable.

But in Lu Qingfeng's eyes, he could see array formations, large arrays connected to large arrays, large arrays containing smaller arrays, and smaller arrays forming large arrays...

Some are mazes, some are traps, some are killing formations, and some are illusions.

It was everywhere.

Stretching for thousands of miles.

As far as the eye could see, there were array formations everywhere.

Even Lu Qingfeng, upon seeing these seemingly endless arrays, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. Even Earth Immortal wouldn't know how many years it would take to set up so many arrays.

His brow twitched slightly.

A vertical eye opened, and a burst of light shone forth.

The Grand Luo Insight, piercing through countless formations, saw what appeared to be an old man with disheveled hair sitting cross-legged on a cloud at the edge of the sky. His hands moved casually, his ten fingers flicking out patterns. Hundreds and thousands of patterns converged, forming a formation.

The old man was so engrossed that he didn't even notice Lu Qingfeng's arrival.

Or rather...

With his focus, even if he notices Lu Qingfeng's arrival, he probably won't stop.

"I am a Pure Daoist priest and have come to pay my respects to Heavenly Dao."

Lu Qingfeng stood outside the formation and shouted loudly to the old Daoist priest inside the layers of formation.

"Call!"

Upon hearing the sound, the old Daoist priest seemed to wake from a dream. He quickly got up and moved to the outside of the formation. He cupped his hands in a salute to Lu Qingfeng and said, "I was so engrossed in studying formations that I didn't know a new person had arrived in the Bleak-Cold Ravine."

The old Daoist was none other than Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal.

The Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal was indeed kind, bowing to Lu Qingfeng with a cheerful smile. His seemingly cloudy eyes looked at Lu Qingfeng with a hint of curiosity.

First, it was astonishing that another person had fallen into despair in the Bleak-Cold Ravine.

Secondly, Lu Qingfeng's aura was surprisingly hazy.

To find this place, one must be at least Earth Immortal.

But when Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal looked at Lu Qingfeng, he felt that the young Daoist in front of him was like a fog, which he could not see through or understand, and he could not sense a trace of Pure Yang energy. He did not seem to be Earth Immortal.

However, Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal did not dare to try it lightly.

There are countless methods in this world, and even more methods for concealing one's aura and cultivation level. Perhaps this Pure Daoist has such a method of cultivation.

The Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal will not delve into this further.

Looking at Lu Qingfeng, Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal couldn't help but say with regret, "Old Daoist priest, you look so energetic, you must not be very old. How come you've come to this Bleak-Cold Ravine?"

It took the Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal the Earth Immortal and become an Earth Immortal.

Even Lu Qingfeng, who had lived through eighteen lifetimes, was only a fraction of what he had experienced. Being described as having a "vigorous appearance" was nothing special.

"I have a disciple who has fallen into Bleak-Cold Ravine, and I have come to find him."

Lu Qingfeng didn't hide anything and replied.

"I see."

"I never expected you to care for your disciple so much."

Upon hearing this, Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal became even more amiable.

He was clearly a compassionate person, and seeing that Lu Qingfeng was willing to venture into the Bleak-Cold Ravine for the sake of his disciple, he couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards him.

"I dare not hide it from you, fellow Daoist. Although I have entered the Bleak-Cold Ravine, I do have a way to get out," Lu Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Oh?"

"Fellow Daoist, you also have expertise in formations?!"

The Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal immediately became interested, his eyes shining brightly. He seemed completely unconcerned about whether they could escape the Bleak-Cold Ravine, only inquiring about Lu Qingfeng's mastery of array formations.

"I have done some research."

Lu Qingfeng said modestly.

"Okay, okay!"

"I never expected to find someone with the same values!"

The Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal became even more delighted and hurriedly pulled Lu Qingfeng to talk.

Lu Qingfeng wasn't exaggerating.

As early as his time in the Evergreen Realm, he had already come into contact with array formations and begun to study them. He even obtained a copy of "The True Exposition of the Celestial Lord's Formation Dao" from the Search for God-Seeking Abbey. It was compiled and summarized by the founder of the God-Seeking Abbey Temple, "Earthly God-Seeking Great General in the Twenty-Four Celestial Lords of the Thunder Ministry," based on the teachings of the Ten Celestial Lords of Golden Ao Island, who were proficient in array formations among the twenty-four Heavenly Lords of the Thunder Department, and later added his own understanding.

It was originally Orthodox Grade text.

Lu Qingfeng enhanced it, making it Profound Grade.

Over the years that followed, spanning ten lifetimes, he collected various array manuals and studied various arrays, whether in the Five Directions Realm, the Black Star Realm, the Barbarian God Realm, or the Immortal Qin Realm.

Over the years, I have seen and learned a great deal. With the help of the "Grand Luo Insight" and "Enlightenment" techniques, my comprehension has far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators.

Nowadays, he can be considered a 'master of array formations' to some extent.

Perhaps he is not as good as the 'Earthly God-Seeking Great General' who often listens to the Ten Celestial Lords preach, but compared with the Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal who cultivates in the mortal world, he is about the same.

Each has its own strengths, and neither is superior to the other.

It's rare for Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal to find a kindred spirit, and after chatting with Lu Qingfeng, he felt as if they had known each other for a long time.

For three whole days.

Still not finished, he continued talking non-stop.

Lu Qingfeng was happy to discuss formations with Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal, but finding Zhang Yang was more important right now.

So he stopped talking and briefly explained to Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal the situation of the four disciples who were trapped in the Northern Frost Snow Domain in Southern Ridge. Without beating around the bush, he said directly, "This trip to the Northern Frost Snow Domain may cause some delays. Therefore, I would like to ask you to go to Southern Ridge to take charge."

"No problem."

"I am all alone, it doesn't matter where I go."

Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal was indeed righteous. Lu Qingfeng suited his temperament, making him feel as if they had known each other for a long time. He readily agreed to Lu Qingfeng's request without any hesitation.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

Lu Qingfeng's impression of this fellow improved even more, and he immediately smiled and said, "There's no need for you to get involved in worldly affairs in Southern Ridge. If Earth Immortal intervenes, you can simply stop him. It won't delay your cultivation at all."

"Don't be so polite, brother."

"The way of cultivation lies in the Zhang Chi. I only hope that after you find your disciple, you can have a good exchange with me on the right path."

"Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal laughed heartily."

"I couldn't have gotten it."

Lu Qingfeng smiled and took out a Jade Slip from his pocket, handing it to Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal. He said, "This is something I obtained by chance in my early years. It was compiled and summarized by the 'Earthly God-Seeking Great General Realm' during several lectures by the Ten Celestial Lords of Golden Ao Island, who were proficient in the Dao of Formations among the Twenty-Four Celestial Lords of the Thunder Ministry. He then added his own understanding to compile it. It may be of some help to you, fellow Daoist."

Even if Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal is not mentioned, Lu Qingfeng cannot remain silent.

This book on array formations might be of limited value to others, but to a master of array formations like Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal, it's priceless.

"The Ten Celestial Lords of Golden Ao Island?!"

"This is the founder of the array formation."

Really.

Nine-Heavens Loose Immortal exclaimed in surprise, carefully took the Jade Slip, glanced at it quickly, and his eyes narrowed with undisguised joy. Without refusing, he said to Lu Qingfeng, "It would be too hypocritical of me to refuse such a secret manual."

He said.

He also took out a jade scroll from his sleeve and stuffed it into Lu Qingfeng's arms. "This is a collection of notes I've compiled over the years on array formations. It doesn't even have a name. It's certainly not as valuable as the array formations of the Ten Celestial Lords of the Thunder Ministry, but this is all I have to offer. I'll keep it for now."

"Brother Dao is too modest."

Lu Qingfeng smiled and solemnly put it into his sleeve.
