Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It’s here!” Duan Ling Tian moved in the sky with Huan’er in tow before he finally came to a halt above a glacier. He looked down at the frozen surface of a lake under his feet. Using his Divine Consciousness, he discovered the ice on the surface of the lake was more than ten meters thick.
“Brother Ling Tian, the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring is in the lake?” Huan’er’s eyes followed the direction of Duan Ling Tian’s gaze and found the frozen lake.
“I think so.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. The Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring in his hand was constantly tugging him down as though it desperately wanted to plunge into the frozen lake.
At this moment, Huan’er’s expression turned solemn as she looked at the frozen lake under her feet. “Brother Ling Tian… I sense a strong aura in the lake… It’s comparable to a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial.”
A peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial!
Upon hearing Huan’er’s words, Duan Ling Tian shook inwardly. If they were still in the Wasteland, it would be easy for him to deal with peak Great Overarching Golden Celestials. However, it was different in the Little World. Not to mention the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword was a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon, even if it was a King Grade Celestial Weapon, he was still not an opponent of a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial in the Little World.
After Duan Ling Tian’s encounter with the stone man in the desert, he had encountered several monsters and beasts with strength comparable to Great Overarching Golden Celestials. All of them were superior to the stone man. Even when he unleashed all his strength and wielded the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, he only came to a draw with them! In the end, Huan’er had to step in and kill them. Later on, he had encountered a beast comparable to a heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial with a King Grade Celestial Weapon. Similarly, he was not an opponent for that beast, and Huan’er had to step in to kill the beast. For this reason, when Huan’er told him she sensed an existence comparable to a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial in the lake, he did not even dare to think about making a move. After all, he knew the thing in the lake could easily crush him!
Huan’er stared at the lake intently. “It’s coming!”
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he looked at the lake intently as well.
Boom!
A thunderous noise rang from below, breaking the silence.
Duan Ling Tian watched as cracks began to appear on the ice on the surface of the lake. The cracks spread more than ten meters away.
Boom!
Another deafening noise rang in the air. The cracks expanded further, looking like snakes.
Boom!
The third time the noise sounded, the cracks had extended to almost a kilometer away.
Roar!
At this moment, a thunderous roar rang in the air.
At the same time, the ice on the lake shattered. The shards from the ice flew in the air in all directions.
It was clear that something was attempting to leave the lake.
Boom!
An even louder noise rang in the air. At this moment, a huge hole appeared on the ice.
“Huh?”
Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er were shocked by a small figure that appeared for them.
Duan Ling Tian had expected the thing that was comparable to a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial to be gigantic in size. After all, the stone man from the desert and all the others he had met were all gigantic. On the other hand, the figure that had just appeared before them was nowhere near as big. Moreover, the figure did not belong to any beast. It was a human. To be more precise, it was a woman dressed in a sky-blue robe. She had a delicate and beautiful appearance. He would have been enchanted by her beauty if he did not have a flawless beauty like Huan’er by his side. Saying that, there was no denying that the woman was still a rare beauty. At the very least, since he had ascended to the Devata Realm, the Spirit Overarching Heaven, Huan’er aside, the only person whose beauty was comparable to this woman was Murong Bing. Even Zhou Shu Qiu was no match for her in regard to beauty.
While Duan Ling Tian studied the woman standing before him, Huan’er’s voice rang in his ears. “Brother Ling Tian, is that… is that the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring in her left hand?”
The Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring!
Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian snapped out of his daze. His eyes immediately fell on the woman’s left hand. He saw a Celestial Weapon that greatly resembled the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring in his hand. The only difference between the weapons was their colors. While the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring was fiery-red, the Celestial Weapon in the woman’s hand that resembled the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring was azure blue. It emitted a cold aura while the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring emitted a hot aura.
“The Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring!” Duan Ling Tian had no doubt the woman held the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring, in her hand. This was one of the main reasons he had entered the Little World, and it was also the item that Brother Pei, the mysterious young man, had tasked him to look for.
Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian discovered that when the woman appeared, not only did the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring in his hand shone with a bright red light, but the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring in the woman’s hand shone with a blue light as well. It was clear the two rings had sensed each other’s existence and were reacting to each other.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were still on the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring when the woman looked at Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er. Her slightly fierce gaze finally fell on Duan Ling Tian before she asked, “Why do you have the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring? What’s your relations.h.i.+p with Pei Yuan Ji?”
“Pei Yuan Ji?” Duan Ling Tian who had just regained his senses were stunned by these words.
“Brother Ling Tian, is Pei Yuan Ji and Brother Pei the same person?” Huan’er sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian inhaled deeply after he recovered from the shock. He looked at the woman holding the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring and said, “I don’t know who’s Pei Yuan Ji… However, the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring, in my hand is given to me by a young man with the surname Pei. I only know his surname.” He was honest with his answer.
“He… He gave you the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring?” The woman seemed taken aback. Her body trembled slightly, and a hint of sadness could be seen in her eyes.
It dawned on Duan Ling Tian that the woman had misunderstood his words. He quickly said, “Don’t misunderstand… Brother Pei only temporarily gave me the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring. After leaving the Little World, I’ll have to return it to him. He has given me the ring so that it’ll help me find the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring in the Little World. If… If I’m not mistaken, the ring in your hand is the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring, right?” As he spoke, his eyes were trained on the ring that greatly resembled the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring.
“Yes, it’s the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring,” the woman said with a nod. After a brief moment, she looked at Huan’er who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian. “How clever of him to ask a girl with the blood of our Phantom Fox Clan to help him retrieve the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring.”
A look of surprise appeared on Huan’er’s face as she asked excitedly, “You… You’re from the Phantom Fox Clan as well?”
“Of course.” The woman’s robe began to flutter in the air even though there was no wind. In just a beat, the silhouette of a huge fox appeared and shrouded her body. It looked real and illusory at the same time.
“She’s a Phantom Fox just like my mother!” Huan’er looked at the Phantom Fox that shrouded the woman dazedly.
“It seems like our meeting is destined… I’ll give you a treasure before I leave.” As she spoke, the Phantom Fox figure became more clear.
Although the Phantom Fox looked no different from an ordinary fox, Duan Ling Tian felt chaotic in mind and heart when he looked into the fox’s eyes. His heart thumped wildly in his chest as he quickly averted his gaze.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The Phantom Fox emitted a gentle white light that swept toward Huan’er. However, as soon as the light made contact with her, it was immediately repelled.
At the same time, the woman said in shock and horror, “You… You’re a Thousand Phantom Ice Fox?!”
