Striking It Rich!
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
The violent tremors were clearly felt even by Zhou Hao, who was Baili underground.
"Old Zhu and the others have made their move." Zhou Hao's eyes narrowed, and beams of yellow light shot out from the pointed tip of the Earth-Piercing Divine Shuttle.
The earth's rock layers melted away silently as Zhou Hao manipulated the magical shuttle to rapidly ascend.
We followed the rock strata of the Snow Maiden Peak Mansion Cave upwards.
Just a moment.
Call!
Zhou Hao's figure appeared high above the cave where the Snow Maiden Clan's lair was located.
Seeing the endless clouds below, Zhou Hao smiled, realizing that even if he stood casually in the air, he wouldn't be easily spotted by the Necro Race below.
"If it were a cultivator's lair, with all sorts of magical formations and restrictions, it wouldn't be so easy to sneak in."
However, we still cannot be careless.
The Necro Race are extremely sensitive to the energy of heaven and earth, especially the Origin Power and magical power of cultivators, which they see as a beacon in the darkness.
The place where he was standing was an ordinary block of ice floating in the air. The invisible power of his mind controlled the ice block under his feet, making it seem like a flying magic weapon, without any fluctuation of Origin Power.
His internal Origin Power was completely dormant as he desperately used the secret technique of concealing his breath.
"If I only use divine power and mental awareness, the chances of being exposed are extremely small as long as I'm not seen by the Necro Race. Let's find the Snow Maiden Clan's treasure first," Zhou Hao thought to himself.
The divine power of a master of God-Devil Body Refining is the power within their flesh and blood, and it does not draw upon the Origin Power of heaven and earth, so they are not afraid of alarming the Necro Race.
Call!
Two more heads suddenly sprouted from Zhou Hao's neck, and instantly everything around him was within the sight of his three pairs of eyes.
Although consciousness is formless and traceless, it is still very easy to be sensed if it comes into contact with a king of the Necro Race.
In situations like this, it's safest to check with the naked eye.
"Um?"
Just as he was about to maneuver the ice block beneath his feet to descend, the dappled light from the cave ceiling suddenly caught his attention.
It was a bead the size of an adult's head, with only a small portion visible beneath the ice.
Within the translucent beads, one can see wisps of watery light, as if they were adorned with ice crystals.
"This is..." Zhou Hao tried to infuse his consciousness into the ice crystal bead, and immediately felt as if the wisp of his soul had entered the Purple Mansion space within his body, and the ice crystal water light was like a vast ocean.
"It really is the Snow Soul Pearl!" Zhou Hao's eyes lit up immediately. "Now Yu'er's Second Primordial Spirit has a place to rest."
The Snow Soul Pearl is formed from the essence of ice and snow over millions of years. Its internal space is like a natural Purple Mansion space, which can carry the soul and cultivate Second Primordial Spirit. The body formed is also formed from the essence of ice and snow. In the future, it will be much easier to comprehend the water path, especially the paths of 'ice and snow'. Among the many rare objects that can serve as a carrier of Second Primordial Spirit, it is also one of the most top-tier.
"Yu'er's understanding of formations leans more towards clouds and mist, so using the Snow Soul Pearl to cultivate her Second Primordial Spirit is just right. It will also add many more mysteries in the future." Zhou Hao immediately manipulated the ice block under his feet to move closer, flipped his hand to take out a celestial-grade flying sword, treated it as an ordinary weapon, and carefully pried off the Snow Soul Pearl.
A single Snow Soul Pearl, in terms of value, is at most equivalent to an ordinary immortal-grade magic weapon, but its scarcity means that nobody is selling it.
If anyone has the opportunity to encounter a rare treasure suitable as a vessel for their Second Primordial Spirit, they should use it not for their own personal use, but only within their own tribe.
After all, it allows cultivators to create an extra clone. If Earth Immortal of the Void Return uses it, it's equivalent to instantly gaining an extra immortal on their side.
How could such rare treasures be allowed to flow out of the country?
Among the five hundred Earth Immortal of the Void Return of the Godslaying Guard, only a handful have cultivated Second Primordial Spirit, and most of them are people with profound backgrounds like Luo Hui.
"Looks like I'm having a lucky day. Hopefully, I'll have even better luck later."
The ease with which Zhou Hao obtained such a rare treasure made him eagerly anticipate the treasures hidden by the Snow Maiden Clan below.
Call!
Zhou Hao descended rapidly, stepping on the ice.
A large block of ordinary ice, several meters in diameter, concealed his figure, minimizing the possibility of him being discovered.
At this time, the leaders of the Snow Maiden Clan had all been lured away by Zhurong Ying and Luo Hui, and the weak Snow Maiden who were originally frolicking on the Ice and Snow Plain had all returned to the Ice Palace to hide, which made Zhou Hao's first step of infiltration exceptionally smooth.
When they were less than a thousand feet away from the ice palace below.
Brush!
Zhou Hao's figure suddenly vanished like a phantom, reappearing in the shadows of a corner of an icy palace.
"Although I cannot cause spatial fluctuations, with my divine power ' Phantom Formless ', it's almost the same as teleporting within a thousand feet." Zhou Hao paused slightly, and after confirming that there was no movement around him, he carefully examined the surrounding palace.
The entire Ice and Snow Plain has dozens of ice palaces of varying sizes, most of which are quite simple.
Only the three palaces connected in the very center look slightly more exquisite.
"These three palaces must be the residences of the strongest leader of the Snow Maiden Clan, and also the most likely places to store treasures." Just as Zhou Hao was about to use his divine power to sneak over there, he heard footsteps coming from an ice palace. He immediately hid to the side and turned to look.
Two stunningly beautiful Snow Maiden, exuding a chilling aura, cautiously glanced outside the palace before quickly stepping out.
"Are we really going to steal some food?" one of the Snow Maiden seemed hesitant, and whispered, "When the older sisters come back, they'll definitely find that the food is missing."
"We're all just a hair's breadth away from reaching the King level. Now that invaders are attacking Snow Maiden Peak, we're eating some of the invaders that the older sisters have saved up so we can break through quickly and go help," another Snow Maiden, who was even taller, said nonchalantly. "If you're too scared, you can stay here and guard it. I'll go by myself."
After saying that, the Snow Maiden flashed into a large, independent ice palace not far from the three central palaces.
"At worst, I'll just get a scolding from my older sisters."
Seeing this, the remaining Snow Maiden quickly followed her inside.
"Food?" Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat.
Despite their stunning beauty, the Snow Maiden are all Necro Race.
Judging from the information revealed by the two Snow Maiden, the palace was filled with intruders, that is, beings from the Three Realms like him who came to roam.
Whoosh!
Zhou Hao flashed and followed the two Snow Maiden into the icy palace.
"This..."
The scene before him made Zhou Hao's pupils shrink.
Two Snow Maiden, whose appearance and figure were extremely similar to human women, now had their once beautiful faces contorted, with only their large mouths taking up most of their faces, each of them munching on an ice sculpture.
The ice sculptures were actually two demon cultivators, one of whom was a large demon with long golden fur, resembling a lion, and most of its body had been eaten away.
There are hundreds of such large ice sculptures of demons in this palace.
"Click~~"
"Click~~"
The sound of ice shards mixed with flesh being chewed echoed throughout the hall.
Puff!
A Snow Maiden spat a metal bracelet from her mouth into a corner of the palace; it was a storage artifact hidden inside the body of the great demon she had been gnawing on.
In that corner, there were hundreds of various storage magic treasures, and piles of magic treasures together looked like a small mountain.
However, each of them was invaded by eerie and chilling energy, and now only a faint, obscure aura remains.
To the Necro Race, the magical treasures of cultivators are useless because they cannot be eaten or activated. They are usually thrown aside as trash. Only the ones that are pretty and fun are kept as decorations and toys.
"Invaders from the outside world taste better," the Snow Maiden said contentedly, chewing. "I called you here, but you didn't dare..."
As it spoke, its eyes, narrowed to slits, saw that the figure appearing before it did not seem to be its companion.
Before it could react, it felt an invisible, terrifying shockwave, instantly shaking the core essence hidden within its body. Then, its consciousness went black, and it knew nothing more.
Brush!
He also put the Snow Maiden maiden, who had been knocked unconscious by his divine soul technique <Soul-Shaking Art>, into the Cosmos Orb. Looking at the hundreds of demon ice sculptures in front of him and the small mountain of magical treasures in the corner, Zhou Hao's heart pounded even faster.
Those who can venture into the Earth Ruins Realm, especially those who can reach Snow Maiden Peak, are at least cultivators at the Earth Immortal Loose Immortal level.
Even a Earth Immortal Loose Immortal, with all their assets combined, should be worth at least a million catties of Origin Liquid.
These hundreds of ice sculptures represent hundreds of powerful demons at the Earth Immortal Loose Immortal levels, along with hundreds of storage magic treasures in the corner, and magic treasures piled up like a small mountain...
It's been sent.
This time, the haul was truly amazing.
This is an absolute windfall!
Zhou Hao felt extremely pleased and collected all the demon ice sculptures and magical treasures on the ground.
Suddenly, the entire hall was empty, with nothing left.
"There are still three central palaces to explore. Just this one alone is enough to warrant an adventure," Zhou Hao thought to himself with satisfaction.
Sudden--
"Well, you two little devils have some nerve, daring to sneak in and steal food while your sisters aren't around."
A Snow Maiden dressed in cyan crystal armor suddenly walked in from outside the palace. She was stunned when she saw the empty hall and Zhou Hao, and then burst out with endless killing intent.
"Intruders!!!" A shrill voice rang out from afar, and the entire tribe's territory instantly erupted in chaos.
"I still want to explore those three central palaces a bit more, reveal myself again, and attract the Snow Maiden Clan's king to come back and rescue us, so as to relieve the pressure on Lao Zhu and the others." Zhou Hao smiled helplessly.
So be it.
Then let's force our way in.
Boom!
The Great Divine Power of Law of Heaven and Earth was immediately unleashed, and Zhou Hao's body suddenly grew larger. The moment the hall he was in came into contact with his enlarged body, it was blasted into ice powder by the surging divine power.
The Azure-Armored Snow Maiden Queen who was the first to discover him was also kicked away by him.
The highest point of the cave inside the mountain was only ten thousand feet, so Zhou Hao only grew to three thousand feet in height before stopping. Then, a huge crystal tree appeared in the void above his head, which was his natal magic treasure, the ' Saha Treasure Tree '.
hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss...
Hundreds of branches lashed out like iron whips at the Snow Maiden emerging from the palace.
At the same time, his hands reached out to grab the three icy palaces beneath him.
Second update.
Using "stealing food" feels a bit strange... I just can't think of a different word to use right now.
I don't want to think about it anymore, I'm going to sleep.
