Heading to the Northern Plains

Time flies, and twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Chen Nianzhi rose from the Nirvana Pool and felt that his Law Power had become even more profound.

This Nirvana Pool is made from thousands of kinds of spirit medicine. After the spiritual liquid in the pool is mixed with the precious herbs, it has an amazing divine nature. It can not only repair injuries and reshape the physical body, but also greatly benefit cultivation.

As he stepped out of the Seclusion Chamber, he noticed Jiang Linglong dressed in a white fairy-like gown, her bright eyes fixed on an ancient book, exuding a scholarly air.

For some inexplicable reason, he felt a stirring in his heart and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Jiang Linglong raised her head and glared at Chen Nianzhi, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Stop fooling around, your disciples are waiting for you in the main hall."

"Then let them wait."

Chen Nianzhi smiled and carried her into the Seclusion Chamber.

After a long while, Chen Nianzhi held Jiang Linglong in his arms and asked, "During my seclusion, has anything happened in the clan?"

Jiang Linglong was stroking him, slightly out of breath, looking at his handsome and refined face.

Hearing him inquire about matters concerning the clan, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Qian Shu came by half a month ago, saying she was preparing to go into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul. I saw you were still in seclusion, so I told her to postpone it for a few days."

"It seems your Old Granduncle is also waiting for you to emerge from seclusion."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, and after a long pause, said, "After Qian Shu and my Old Granduncle break through, I want to go to the Far-Northern Icefields."

"The ice field..."

Jiang Linglong's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. The cultivation Immortal Realm of the Far-Northern Icefields was located in the Northern Plains of the world, a place of ancient, unmelting glaciers and snowfields, a bitterly cold land.

In that snowy region, conditions were harsh, and demons coexisted, so the Human Race could not gain the upper hand.

Most cultivators from other regions are unwilling to travel long distances to the Far-Northern Icefields; only cultivators with Ice Spirit Root regard it as a sacred place for cultivation.

Jiang Linglong also knew very well why Chen Nianzhi was going there, because Ya Ya had been in Northern Plains for many years and there had been no news of her ever arriving.

Chen Nianzhi held Jiang Linglong in his arms and said thoughtfully, "When that girl left, I said that if I didn't hear from her, I would go to the Northern Plains to look for her."

"I have been at the Nascent Soul for over fifty years now, but because my Lineage needs me to take charge, I have been unable to leave for extended periods."

"Once Qian Shu and my Old Granduncle break through, I will also set off."

"Don't worry, Ya Ya's Soul Lamp is still intact, so she'll be fine."

Jiang Linglong leaned against his chest, thought for a moment, and then said, "However, with her cultivation level, it is indeed too difficult for her to obtain the Ice-Vein Jade and the three ice-attribute Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure on her own."

"Back then we weren't strong enough, but now that we've broken through to the Nascent Soul, we're capable of helping her."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, her expression turning serious.

Among the many cultivators in the Chen Clan, Ya Ya actually has the most difficult path to cultivation.

Ya Ya is a cultivator with Ice Spirit Root. To forge Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, she needs not only Heavenly Dao Qi, but also the Ice-Vein Heaven-Shaping Pill to condense her Law Power.

Moreover, given the difficulty of the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation, she would need three ice-attribute Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure to overcome it.

Finding so many treasures, especially with such demanding attribute requirements, would be impossible even for a Golden Core realm cultivator, let alone someone like Chen Nianzhi before he broke through to the Nascent Soul.

Although there are many fortuitous opportunity in this world, the fortuitous opportunity you receive may not be the most suitable for you. This is precisely why the importance of Lineage and sect is evident.

Among the ancient immortal clans, their clan treasuries often contain key treasures of various attributes.

For cultivators from major sects and immortal clans, there is no need to go out and endure hardships. They only need to manage their own businesses well, and they can live a hundred times better than wandering Rogue Cultivator.

For them, even when they go out to gain experience, they usually don't have a big purpose. Instead, they are less likely to be schemed against and are more likely to obtain unexpected treasures.

In fact, Chen Nianzhi did just that, replacing Life-Extending Spirit Apricot and other items with the Earth Mother Qi, and exchanging her family's treasures for heavenly materials and earthly treasures of various attributes, thus expanding the Lineage's foundation.

When Chen Clan cultivators go out to train and obtain treasures, even if the attributes don't suit them, they can directly exchange them for more suitable treasures within the Lineage.

Chen Nianzhi composed herself and, after a moment, smiled and said, "Although the Far-Northern Icefields are bitterly cold, some precious treasures only exist Far-Northern Icefields."

"I'm going to find Ya Ya this time, and also see if I can find any fortuitous opportunity along the way."

Jiang Linglong nodded, and said, "I'll go with you."

"Good!"

"..."

Chen Nianzhi emerged from the Seclusion Chamber and entered the main cultivation hall.

Ye Qingfeng, Lu Wenyuan, and Chen Fusu were already waiting in the main hall, as were Jiang Linglong's disciple, Gu Lanshan.

Upon seeing Chen Nianzhi, the group quickly stood up and bowed.

"Greetings, Master, Ancestor, and Grandmaster."

Get up.

Chen Nianzhi looked at the group of students and then began to check their homework.

Over the years, Chen Nianzhi would check on the cultivation progress of the group every now and then, both to understand their Dao Body and to correct their Cultivation Practice Method.

As usual, I checked their cultivation progress today, and then sensed their Dao Body before smiling.

"It's been a while since I last saw you, and your cultivation has improved considerably."

"It seems you've been quite diligent in your cultivation lately."

Chen Nianzhi said with satisfaction, then added, "This lesson will be my last one to teach you."

"Master, why is this?"

Lu Wenyuan was somewhat taken aback and couldn't help but ask.

Chen Nianzhi shook her head and said, "I have taught you what I needed to teach you over the years, but the path of cultivation is not as simple as what I have taught you."

"You need to understand this world step by step, and gradually deconstruct your own path of cultivation, and refine your cultivation philosophy. Only in this way can you truly grow."

"I will be leaving the Eastern Wilderness for a while soon. You can choose to travel in the Ji Continent or the Vast Sea, or you can join the Heavenly Ruins Alliance and your Lineage to do some things."

As Chen Nianzhi spoke, he gave the group a deep look and then said, "You must remember the life principles and obligations I taught you. When I return, I will test you."

"Disciple understands."

The group nodded and bowed to Chen Nianzhi again.

Chen Nianzhi's expression turned solemn, then he sighed and said, "You may leave now."

"This disciple takes his leave."

The group walked out of the main hall. Chen Fusu glanced at Ye Qingfeng and then asked, "Where is Ancestor planning to go?"

Holding a three-foot-long Qingfeng, Ye Qingfeng exuded a chilling sword aura and smiled, saying, "I heard that the demons in the Vast Sea haven't been completely wiped out yet. I'll go there to slay the demons and monsters."
