In a city, a young man in white had his face shrouded in spiritual light, making it difficult to see clearly.
Yet the few contours that showed were already enough to leave many people awestruck.
Many cultivators stole glances at him, curiosity in their eyes, while some tried to probe his cultivation with their spirit thoughts.
Before they could discern anything, however, they felt their spirit thoughts rebound as though repelled by an incomparably powerful force, and no longer dared to probe recklessly.
This young man in white was naturally Chu Kuangren.
He leisurely entered a tavern, chose a seat at random, summoned a waiter, and ordered a pot of wine.
There were many people in the tavern, all discussing events on the Emperor Road.
The unusual activity at Emperor Mountain, in particular, had everyone extremely excited, and they were all discussing who might claim the Emperor Position.
"Have you heard? There have been some unusual occurrences at Heavenly Lake Mountain recently. Large amounts of Heavenly Lake Energy have been spilling out, and they say an extraordinary treasure has appeared."
Suddenly, a cultivator spoke up.
Hearing this, everyone grew interested.
"Heavenly Lake Mountain? That place where the cold could scare you to death?"
"Tch, you only find it cold because your cultivation is weak. Who knows how many people have their eyes on that Heavenly Lake Energy? With this unusual activity at Heavenly Lake Mountain, who knows how many Daoist Traditions have sent people to harvest the Heavenly Lake Energy? Even several Primordial Daoist Traditions have mobilized."
"I hear quite a few Heavenly Lake Ice Crystals have appeared this time, too."
"Heavenly Lake Ice Crystals? Rumor has it they can slow a cultivator's aging and purify spiritual power, and they also contain a rich concentration of cold-attribute Daoist Rhyme."
