Ice Crystal Palace

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei entered his mind to ask the system, but this time the system did not give an answer. In other words, Ma Feifei would have to complete the Book-holding woman task and obtain the reward to find out the answer to the problem of the Tianshu Fragment.

However, although the doubts remain unresolved, at least one thing is certain: there should be ninety-nine Tianshu Fragment hidden within the Nine Heavens Mountain, or more precisely, Tianshu Fragment should be hidden on the spirit beasts within the Nine Heavens Mountain.

Ma Feifei would need to find these spirit beasts to collect the Tianshu Fragment, but the Nine Heavens Mountain was vast, teeming with countless spirit beasts. Who knew which spirit beasts held the ninety-nine Spirit Crystal? More importantly, what if the spirit beasts containing the Tianshu Fragment were hunted down by cultivators? What if other cultivators found them?

These are all unknown questions.

"This is giving me a headache." Ma Feifei sighed as he looked at the Tianshu Fragment in his hand. He originally entered the Nine Heavens Mountain to find Yun Qingyang, but not only did he not find Yun Qingyang, he also encountered a Tianshu Fragment. The mess made Ma Feifei feel that his brain was completely overwhelmed.

"Let's go." Ma Feifei glanced at the young master lying on the ground, still not recovered, shook her head, and walked towards the Nine Heavens Mountain.

As for the young masters lying on the ground, Ma Feifei had no intention of meddling. Whether they could survive in the Nine Heavens Mountain was up to fate.

"Cough cough!" The young master coughed up blood, lay in the arms of the sword-wielding woman, and watched Ma Feifei and his group's departing figures. He asked weakly, "Chuncan, do you recognize them?"

Chuncan Silkworm was using her Spiritual Power to repair the broken meridians in the young master's body. Upon hearing this, she glanced at Ma Feifei and the others who had left, her brows furrowing slightly, and replied, "I don't recognize it. However, I heard a few days ago that there is a Sky-reaching Ape Monkey from the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the territory of the Great Chu. It is said that it was taken in by the Mysterious Bookstore as a guardian Divine Beast. I don't know if it is the one from earlier."

"The Mysterious Bookstore?" the young master murmured to himself, lost in thought.

Inside the Nine Heavens Mountain, Ma Feifei and his group continued their journey into the Nine Heavens Mountain. The deeper they went, the more Ma Feifei could feel the terror of the Nine Heavens Mountain. Various strangely shaped and unnamed spirit beasts stared at Ma Feifei with their large eyes in the darkness.

Some were only the size of a palm, hidden in the leaves, while others were hundreds of meters tall, like small mountains, crawling on the ground. Some swam in the water, some hid in the trees, and some flew in the sky. They were all strange and wonderful, but none of them were spirit beasts of the eighth rank or above.

Here, Ma Feifei deeply felt the terror of the Nine Heavens Mountain. Eighth-order spirit beasts were as common as dogs, and ninth-order spirit beasts roamed everywhere.

Even an ordinary Spirit Saint would find it difficult to withstand this, let alone cultivators below the Spirit Saint realm.

In other words, Ma Feifei and his group had an overwhelming aura, especially Ba Jiu and the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey. As Divine Beast, they moved around the Nine Heavens Mountain as if it were their own home. When the other spirit beasts saw them, they all took the initiative to avoid them, let alone disturb them.

Soon, the group arrived at their destination, the center of the Nine Heavens Mountain, the Nine Heavens Mountain.

The crescent moon was already hanging in the sky, indicating that they had clearly spent a considerable amount of time traveling from the outer perimeter to the Nine Heavens Mountain.

"Is this the Nine Heavens Mountain? It feels so desolate." Ma Feifei looked at the barren wasteland in front of her and asked curiously.

Although it was late at night, Ma Feifei and his companions' vision was not affected in the slightest. In Ma Feifei's view, the whole world was a desolate wasteland, without a trace of life, not even a single tree or blade of grass.

It consisted of nothing but small pebbles and sand, with no other color.

"This is just the edge of the Nine Heavens Mountain. It's different if you go further in. There are many fruit trees, swamps, and rivers. It's very beautiful," said Ba Jiu, who was born in the Nine Heavens Mountain. However, there was no joy of returning home on his face. Clearly, he didn't like coming back here.

"Oh, right, there's also an Ice Crystal Palace inside. My mother said it used to be where the Frost Giant Dragon lived, but there's a formation surrounding the palace, so we can't go in," Ba Jiu added, as if remembering something.

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei's eyes lit up. Wasn't this Ice Crystal Palace the place where Yun Qingyang lived?

"Lead the way, lead the way, straight to the Ice Crystal Palace," Ma Feifei said excitedly.

"Okay." Ba Jiu was very familiar with the Nine Heavens Mountain, so he immediately responded and walked forward, with Ma Feifei and the others following closely behind.

After some time, Ma Feifei's view was no longer desolate. Instead, there was a large area of bushes and swamps, just as Ba Jiu had described, and the occasional sound of flowing water could be heard.

"If we keep going forward, we'll reach where Mother lives. She should be in seclusion right now. We can take a slight detour to avoid her senses. Once we pass this thicket, we'll reach the Ice Crystal Palace," Ba Jiu said, pointing to the thicket ahead.

Ma Feifei nodded and chose to follow Ba Jiu's advice to take a detour. His purpose in coming here was not to fight the Divine Beast, but to find Dragon Girl. It would be better to reduce trouble.

Fortunately, the thicket wasn't very large. After about half an hour of running around it, Ba Jiu led Ma Feifei and the others around it. After running for about ten minutes, a huge Ice Crystal Palace Ma Feifei into view.

Ma Feifei was dumbfounded the moment he saw the palace. "Is this supposed to be the Ice Crystal Palace?"

That shimmering, bling-bling light... is it really not Spirit Crystal?

A palace carved from Spirit Crystal!

This completely overturned Ma Feifei's worldview.

"I always thought Yun Qingyang was just rich, but I never imagined he was this rich!" Ma Feifei exclaimed, looking at the palace, which was about the size of a football field.

Ma Feifei estimated that if this palace were dismantled and cut into Spirit Crystal, it would be worth at least 5 billion. In other words, the place where Yun Qingyang lived was so luxurious that it was worth more than 5 billion Spirit Crystal.

What does this mean? It's beyond comprehension, because no one has ever done it before.

"They say nine out of ten dragons are rich, and the tenth becomes incredibly rich. Qingyang, you must be that dragon who becomes incredibly rich, right?"

Not to mention Ma Feifei, even Chang Kong, who had lived for over a hundred years, was so shocked by this scene that he couldn't close his mouth and didn't know what to say. In his more than a hundred years of life, he had never even seen so many Spirit Crystal, let alone possessed them.

He had seen Spirit Crystal mines before. Even a top-grade Spirit Crystal Vein Mine could only produce around a hundred million Spirit Crystal a year. That number was already an astronomical figure for Chang Kong. Not to mention this palace in front of him, which was entirely carved from Spirit Crystal. He couldn't even imagine such an operation.

As for Ba Jiu and the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, they didn't react much. They didn't rely on Spirit Crystal for cultivation, so they had no concept of Spirit Crystal.

"There's an invisible array surrounding the Ice Crystal Palace. Only the owner of the Ice Crystal Palace can freely enter and exit. My mother said she once tried to break this array, but she was injured by it instead, and even her Origin Power was damaged. She hasn't recovered yet," Ba Jiu said with lingering fear.

"That powerful?" Ma Feifei looked around the Ice Crystal Palace with suspicion, but it was empty and he couldn't find any formations.

"Teacher, let Chang Kong go take a look." As a Ninth-tier formation master, Chang Kong is definitely the most knowledgeable about arrays here.

"Okay, be careful," Ma Feifei reminded him.

Chang Kong nodded and slowly walked towards the Ice Crystal Palace.
