The Drifting Snow Sect stood atop an iceberg.
This iceberg is covered by blizzards all year round, and these blizzards are more intense and colder than anywhere else in the Extreme Cold Star Region!
Meanwhile, it was said that this blizzard had never disappeared, constantly enveloping the iceberg.
When Ye Qiubai and his two companions arrived at the foot of this iceberg.
There was only one path leading to the top of the iceberg ahead of them.
This is a ladder leading to the iceberg, like a pilgrimage route.
However, what concerned Ye Qiubai and his companions was that this Ice Crystal Heavenly Ladder was the only place that was not covered by wind and snow!
It's as if there's a very special magnetic field; when a blizzard tries to hang on the Ice Crystal Heavenly Ladder, it will deflect it at a special angle.
At the same time, the absence of guards at the foot of the mountain demonstrates the extreme confidence of the Drifting Snow Sect.
Ye Qiubai took out the jade pendant. "I hope he wasn't lying to us."
After saying that, she poured her Immortal Qi into the jade pendant, and it began to shine. Soon, a woman's voice came from the jade pendant.
I'll be down soon.
Not long after.
A stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a snow-white dress, with ice crystals dangling from the hem, appeared before Ye Qiubai and his companions.
The woman's face was expressionless, her eyes indifferent, as if keeping everyone at arm's length.
"Who are you to the Holy Maiden?"
Ye Qiubai asked directly, "What happened to Ziqing?"
Upon hearing this, the woman's icy eyes narrowed slightly.
"You are the dao companion the Holy Maiden spoke of?"
Upon hearing the woman's reply, Ye Qiubai and the other two were overjoyed.
It has now been confirmed that Mu Ziqing is the current Holy Maiden of the Drifting Snow Sect!
"If that's the case, I still advise you to give up." Jiang Qingluan shook her head slightly. "You're only at the Early God King Realm right now. Compared to that person from the Ice God Hall, your talent, strength, and background are not even on the same level."
"While even that person from the Ice God Hall wouldn't be worthy of the Saintess's talent, you are even less worthy."
Ye Qiubai frowned slightly. "You don't need to worry about these things. I just need to see Ziqing."
" The Drifting Snow Sect has never had a rule about allowing outsiders to enter at will." Jiang Qingluan raised an eyebrow. "If you want to enter, you can only rely on your own strength to climb these nine hundred and ninety-nine Ice Crystal Heavenly Ladder. Only then will you have the strength to be recognized by the Drifting Snow Sect."
However, Jiang Qingluan's indifferent gaze...
Clearly, they didn't believe Ye Qiubai was capable of making it.
Although the Ice Crystal Heavenly Ladder does not restrict cultivation level, it places extremely high demands on talent, foundation, and willpower.
Even Jiang Qingluan, before she cultivated the Drifting Snow Sect's Cultivation Method, could only reach the 400th level.
Throughout the entire history of the Drifting Snow Sect.
Only the first sect leader and... this generation's Holy Maiden have reached the top.
Ye Qiubai seemed to ignore Jiang Qingluan's indifferent gaze and walked directly towards the Ice Crystal Heavenly Ladder.
Seeing this, Jiang Qingluan frowned and said, "On this Ice Crystal Heavenly Ladder, no one can save you. If you force yourself to reach the top, you will only lose your life in vain. Have you thought it through?"
Ye Qiubai laughed nonchalantly, "From the moment you embark on the path of cultivation, if you have to care about your life in everything, how can you cultivate?"
"Besides, I have reasons that I have to go up there..."
At this point, Ye Qiubai raised his head and gazed at the summit of the iceberg.
On the mountaintop swept by the blizzard, a faint ice crystal palace appeared.
Ziqing... wait for me.
With this thought in mind, Ye Qiubai's gaze became even more determined. Under Jiang Qingluan's astonished gaze, he steadily stepped onto the Ice Crystal Heavenly Ladder!
From the moment you step onto the Ice Crystal Heavenly Ladder.
The protective aura of immortal Immortal Qi that Ye Qiubai had used to resist the extreme cold vanished silently at that moment.
An extremely cold wave swept in!
Beneath Ye Qiubai's feet, the Ice Crystal Heavenly Ladder emitted a dazzling blue light!
The blue light transformed into the Dao Law of Ice, enveloping Ye Qiubai, and strands of white frost began to form on his body.
Ye Qiubai's body trembled slightly, then he chuckled softly, "Is that all...?"
Then, it continued upwards.
There wasn't the slightest pause along the way!
Jiang Qingluan's expression began to become slightly serious. Ye Qiubai's steps were extremely steady, each step landing firmly on the Ice Crystal Heavenly Ladder. At the same time, his pace was neither fast nor slow, as if he did not feel much pressure!
"However... a qualitative change will occur at the two hundredth floor. I hope you can maintain your..."
Mu Fusheng and Fang Qiong were also watching this scene from below.
" Senior Brother Mu, do you think it'll be on which floor our senior brother starts to feel pressure? I'd guess around the 600th floor."
Mu Fusheng smiled and shook his head, "I don't know, after all, I can't see through this Ice Crystal Heavenly Ladder."
At this point, Mu Fusheng looked at Fang Qiong, his expression suddenly turning serious, and instructed, "And also, Junior Brother Fang, you must remember, never underestimate anything, even if it's a sect you've never even heard of before, you must remain vigilant!"
I've never even heard of it...
Jiang Qingluan's brows twitched.
I, a direct disciple of a sect you've never even heard of, am still here!
While they were speaking.
Ye Qiubai had already stepped onto the two-hundredth step.
Instantly.
Ye Qiubai's expression froze slightly.
He could clearly feel that the aura of the Dao Law of Ice had become even more surging, penetrating directly into his body from the soles of his feet!
The bones seemed to be covered by a layer of ice crystals, and even the slightest movement would produce a crisp sound of bones rubbing together!
This is the true meaning of ice skates scraping the bone!
The pain of having bone scraped is excruciating, penetrating to the very marrow!
Ye Qiubai frowned slightly, looking up. There were a full nine hundred and ninety-nine floors. If he felt pressure here, how could he possibly reach the top?
Suddenly, Ye Qiubai's aura Early God King Realm erupted!
The Immortal Qi is roaring wildly!
Seeing this, Jiang Qingluan could no longer maintain her indifference and exclaimed, " Immortal Qi? All your Spiritual Qi has been converted into Immortal Qi? How is that possible?!"
Transforming everything into Immortal Qi is one of the hallmarks of a powerful cultivator at the God Lord Realm!
Regardless of whether it is Immortal Qi or not, the density of this Immortal Qi far exceeds that of people at the same realm!
This means that Ye Qiubai's foundation has become so solid that it's chilling...
Turn upwards again.
The 300th floor...
The 400th floor...
The 500th floor...
Jiang Qingluan looked horrified.
It has already surpassed her record...
Moreover, Ye Qiubai remained calm.
The Ice Crystal Heavenly Ladder will adjust its attack based on the cultivator's cultivation level.
The test will be conducted at the limit of this realm, or even beyond the limit.
Ye Qiubai's appearance.
It's obvious that his talent and foundation in Dao have reached a terrifying level!
Until they reached the 600th floor.
The Dao Law of Ice began to invade the Five Viscera, even freezing the Dantian!
Ye Qiubai gripped his sword, and the Silver Dragon Sword was drawn!
Sword Domain Unfolds!
" The Sword God Realm?!"
Fang Qiong chuckled from the side, "How many times has she exclaimed so loudly?"
