ccording to regulations, our Lingxiao Palace must send a team of disciples to Xuan Ye City to investigate the situation there, and Qing'er is one of them. It just so happens that several of my discipl...Whoosh... Several figures flew swiftly through the air, looking at the huge surge of spiritual energy in the distance, their hearts trembled with excitement.

A mountain peak, covered in ice and snow, pierces the clouds. What's astonishing is that this mountain only exists above the cloud layer; beneath it appears to be nothing but empty space. Unbound by gravity, it floats freely within the clouds.

A thick layer of ice covered the surface, sparkling in the sunlight. It looked like a mysterious ice and snow peak.

"Hmm, there seems to be some sort of illusion within that ice layer." Luo Qian narrowed his eyes. Wu Zi Yuan and Qiao Lan, as well as the Eight-Footed Demon Ox Beast, also noticed something amiss.

Only to see the ice layer on the snow mountain like a mirror, and inside the mirror, there was another world. Through that mirror, one could see a group of men short and sturdy, bare-chested and with nipples exposed, wearing chains of monster teeth bones. In their hands, they held various strange weapons. They rode on mounts of different strengths.

Only a few breaths were distinctly no weaker than those of a Yuan Ying cultivator, the elders, clad in robes.

Lu Xiaotian's heart was deeply moved. In the mirror-like ice crystals, a group of strange people appeared. They were exactly the giant stone clan Lu Xiaotian had seen before. Even Lu Xiaotian saw two familiar faces inside: Tuo Qingshan and Tuo Qingying.

"Brother Niu, what's the story behind this Ice Peak" Lu Xia Tian glanced at the eight-legged demonic ox native to this secret realm. Asking it would be the most appropriate thing to do.

“This is Phantom Ice Peak, its location within the secret realm constantly shifting. I’ve only heard tales of it before, never imagined seeing it with my own eyes today.” The eight-legged demon ox beast was also quite interested, gazing at Phantom Ice Peak.

“Huànbīng Fēng, are those people inside truly real or just an emptiness” Wǔ Zǐyuán asked.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"It should be true. Rumors say this Phantom Ice Peak can record the scene of a place and then randomly display it. It's somewhat similar to a stone of memory." The eight-legged demon ox mused for a moment before speaking.

“That is to say, these people in the image should have entered the secret realm. I didn't expect so many to come.”

Lu Xia Tian narrowed his eyes. Back then, when the Giant Stone Clan faced the millennium tribulation and fought against the Ghost Clan, their main force wasn't to go to the forbidden land. How could there be images of people like Tuo Qing Shan inside this secret realm Could it be that the Giant Stone Clan's forbidden land is also connected to this secret realm

If the Giant Stone Clan can come here, doesn't that mean there are a large number of Ghost Clans within this secret realm

Lu Xia Tian stroked his chin. Just from the places he knew, there were countries like Xiangguo, the Giant Stone Clan, and Wang Yue. Plus Wu Zi Yuan and Qiao Lan's original home of Beiqi. Adding in the demon clan branches already present within the secret realm, it seemed the situation here was far more complex than he had originally anticipated.

"Lu Ge, are you thinking of something" Qiao Lan saw Lu Xiaottian in a thoughtful state and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, just that there are a few more people now. It seems like things are getting more and more interesting."

Lu Xia Tian’s eyes flashed a hint of a smile. Whether this was a blessing or a curse, it couldn't be avoided. The appearance of the Giant Stone Clan before him was finally somewhat familiar to him. Even if they met, it wasn’t a bad thing. Of course, the premise was that he didn’t run into Tuo Ba Hai's father. Otherwise, there would definitely be some dirty tricks.

However, Tubohai's old man was not yet the Great Elder. His own strength had improved tremendously. Even if they met, there was nothing to be afraid of.

“With so many potential enemies, only Lu brother with his artistic talent and courage would find this amusing.” Wu Ziyuan let out a wry smile. He certainly couldn't feel any joy about it.

"Brother Lu, there is a rumor about Huanbing Peak. Every time Huanbing Peak appears, a treasure will be born. I wonder if you are interested. Would Brothers Lu and Luo like to go back" The Eight-legged Demon Bull Beast looked at Lu Xiaoteng and Luo Qian with interest. "If you pursue Huanbing Peak, it might not be easy to go back later."

“The opportunity is right in front of us. Naturally, it's important to seek the treasure, why should we waste time because of others” Wu Ziyu chuckled, Qiao Lan also nodded lightly, indicating her agreement.

Luo Qian hugged his arms, appearing indifferent to the words of the others. In fact, Luo Qian rarely interacted with people. Besides occasionally exchanging a few words with Lu Xia Tian, he mostly spent his time alone, diligently cultivating in a race against time. However, at this moment, his gaze drifted towards Lu Xia Tian's direction, inquiring about his intentions.

Lu Xia Tian frowned slightly. The Nascent Soul cultivators who entered the secret realm were divided into two groups. One group was Lu Xia Tian, Luo Qian, and a few eight-legged demonic ox beasts. The other group was led by Dou Weifeng. The two sides took turns guarding the newly built immortal city. Another group went out to patrol, firstly to prevent potential enemies from entering the newly built immortal city, and secondly to search for valuable spiritual objects. This time it was Lu Xia Tian's turn. After nearly a year in the secret realm, both sides had been rotating like this.

Xiao Sanniang and Ge Changting, the two ghost cultivators, were relatively weak in power. Lu Xiaoteng found it inconvenient to have them by his side, so he let them stay within the main camp, utilizing the Ghost Clan artifacts he provided to quickly improve their strength. Their goal was to reach a level where they could assist him in refining a Yuan Ying-grade corpse.

Just now, looking at the Eight-Footed Demonic Ox Beast and Qiao Lan and the others' appearances, Qiao Lan and Wu Ziyuan seem to know something about this Phantom Ice Peak. It seems they intend to separate themselves from Dou Weifeng and the others.

After all, even though he had his reservations about Dou Wei and Liu Yiqing, they were all from the same place. Moreover, the Moon Viewing Cultivation World was still a relatively tight-knit alliance. Wu Zi Yuan, Qiao Lan, and the Eight-Footed Demon Bull Beast were outsiders. They naturally wanted to split Lu Xiaotian away from the Moon Viewing camp, which would be more in their best interests.

“Well then, seize the day, I'll follow your lead. I know what you're thinking, it’s natural to have your own plans. But please don't try to fool me with empty promises. Let's keep things amicable between us.”

Lu Xia Tian looked at the two humans and the beast with a half-smile, giving them a small warning.

"Brother Lu, your words are reassuring. With your ability, Brother Lu, I wouldn't dare to ask you for help if I didn't have the courage." The eight-legged demon ox laughed heartily upon hearing this. Since Lu Xiaoteng had already seen through him, he no longer pretended. "However, it might take a bit longer in time."

"Since that's settled, let's go." Lu XiaTian nodded and sent a sound transmission note to Hua Ying Madam, instructing her to take care of Ge ChangTing and Xiao SanNiang in his absence. If he had the opportunity to return, he would still need their help.

The Huanbing Peak floated up and down among the clouds, moving at an extremely fast speed. The four humans and one beast were breaking through the air in a close formation behind the Huanbing Peak, and Lu Xia Tian also received a private transmission from the Eight-Legged Demon Bull Beast.

It turned out this guy wasn't the first to see Hu Bing Feng. He had seen it a hundred years ago, and in his memory of Hu Bing Feng from that time, he saw a mirage wolf fighting with another Yan Lin demon rat. The two demons were fighting over a large piece of Pan Qing stone. It is very possible that the mirage wolf Lu Xia Tian killed had only snatched a small part of it.

(Sānqī Chinese)old man felt a sharp pang in his heart. To fully repair this blood-colored drum, the cost would be enormous. However, the silver-haired cultivator before him attacked relentlessly, wave after wave. Re...
