Chapter 321: Meeting the Ice River Valley by Chance

As Venerable Tian Huo lost himself in thought, Xiao Ming had already called back his Spirit and aided it in completely absorbing the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning.

Observing Xiao Ming's actions, Venerable Tian Huo found a place to sit down and closed his eyes to rest.

...

Twenty days passed by in a flash.

During this time, Xiao Ming had completely devoured the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning.

Under the influence of the lightning, Xiao Ming's physical body had been tempered once again.

At the same time, his Dou Qi had reached the eight-star Dou Ancestor. This sudden surge in strength left Venerable Tian Huo speechless. He thought to himself that the Mysterious Lightning was truly the most magical treasure between heaven and earth. As long as one could endure the body refining, one's strength would increase by leaps and bounds.

When Xiao Ming had absorbed almost all of the energy from his Spirit, he had it stop the feedback.

Although the Spirit could still provide him with energy, it was time to leave; otherwise, Xiao Yi Xian would be injured.

As he opened his eyes, a flash of lightning appeared in them, illuminating the dim passage for a moment as if it were daylight.

Venerable Tian Huo noticed something unusual and stood up, walking over to Xiao Ming. He stroked his beard and laughed.

"Your cultivation speed is truly astounding; it leaves this old man speechless! Hahaha!"

"I rely on external things, it's not worthy of praise," Xiao Ming replied with a smile.

Then he stood up, clenched his fist, and lightning surged throughout his body. A bolt of lightning shot out from him and hit a rock, instantly causing it to crumble into dust that scattered throughout the area.

"The power of this lightning is truly formidable, worthy of being the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning," Venerable Tian Huo said in amazement as he looked at the dust on the ground.

The rocks in the Falling Thunder Mountain Range were frequently struck by lightning and had a strong resistance to it, making them quite sturdy. It wasn't easy to turn a huge stone into dust with just a small bolt of lightning.

'The power is indeed impressive. Learning some lightning-attribute Dou Techniques would be a good choice,' Xiao Ming thought to himself.

Although he wanted to learn some lightning-based Dou Techniques, he knew that he might have to put it off for now. He mainly focused on fire-based Dou Techniques, and even if he added some lightning-based ones, it would not increase his combat power by much. It would only enhance his adaptability, and that would be a waste of time.

One should focus on mastering one technique instead of learning many superficially. Of course, if there were any particularly useful high-class lightning-attribute Dou Techniques, Xiao Ming would not mind giving them a try.

He let go of his fist, and the lightning that had been surrounding him slowly dissipated into his body.

"Senior Yao, how long have we been in the Falling Thunder Mountain Range?" Xiao Ming asked.

"It's been about thirty days since we arrived," Tian Huo replied.

"Thirty days... It's time to leave and find Xian'er and Qing Lin." Xiao Ming had marked them previously, so he wouldn't be running around like a headless fly to find them.

Using their senses, Xiao Ming and Venerable Tian Huo flew directly towards the nearest space wormhole.

...

In the following few days of travel, Xiao Ming's attention was focused on stabilizing and consolidating his recently skyrocketed Dou Qi.

To be honest, Xiao Ming's Dou Qi had increased too quickly in recent months, inevitably causing some instability.

Fortunately, he had the Fallen Heart Flame, a cultivation artifact that constantly tempered his Dou Qi. Otherwise, Xiao Ming wouldn't have dared to use such a rash method to improve his strength.

Even so, in order to quickly familiarize himself with his own Dou Qi, Xiao Ming still concentrated and controlled the Fallen Heart Flame to refine it.

Five days had passed in the blink of an eye.

When Xiao Ming opened his eyes after the session, he happened to see a distant silver halo where a dense spatial fluctuation was overflowing.

As he gazed at the silver halo, Venerable Tian Huo, who was in charge of controlling the space boat, said, "We're almost there..."

As the reaction to the mark he left on Xiao Yi Xian became clearer, Xiao Ming abruptly stood up. The shimmering white fluorescent light that was flowing over his body slowly faded.

The space boat flashed like a silver light and swiftly glided through the passage. In just a few blinks of an eye, it approached the location of the silver halo. Under the intense spatial fluctuations, the space boat shook violently.

Xiao Ming and Venerable Tian Huo did not pay attention to this turbulence. Their faces remained calm as they controlled the space boat to swiftly dart out of the halo in a whooshing sound. In just a few blinks of an eye, the silver halo was within reach...

...

There was a massive stone platform entirely made of snowy white rocks. What was especially surprising was that this stone platform was nearly a hundred meters high, supported by a dozen or so massive stone pillars beneath.

The stone pillars supported the stone platform, looking like towering pillars from a distance. The space on this stone platform was unlike any other place. It appeared to be extremely chaotic, with a large area of space that was extremely distorted and even some faintly spreading dark cracks.

Silver light constantly burst out of this distorted space, and every time the silver light appeared, many figures spat out of the space and fell onto the stone platform below.

A silver light flashed in the distorted space, and two figures, one old and one young, flashed out of it. Their feet then lightly touched the void before landing on the stone platform.

The figures spat out from the distorted space were naturally Xiao Ming and Venerable Tian Huo.

After landing, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, scanned the surroundings to identify the direction, and was about to call on Venerable Tian Huo to leave.

But suddenly, the sky in the distance behind Xiao Ming's back showed a violent spatial fluctuation. Then, more than a dozen specially-made white luxurious space boats appeared in the sky.

The sudden appearance of the luxurious space boats immediately attracted the attention of countless people around, and then a series of exclamation and discussions broke out.

"The Ice River Valley's people! What brings them here?" asked one of the bystanders with curiosity.

"I heard that they recently discovered a woman who is suspected to be the Woeful Poison Lady. The Ice River Valley has always had an obsession with collecting special physiques. They might have come for this," another person explained.

"Woeful Poison Body! No wonder, the Ice River Valley seems like a bloodhound that can sniff out special physiques."

"I don't know if the news of the Woeful Poison Lady is true or not. But, hey, it's good that the people from the Ice River Valley are here. Otherwise, if the Woeful Poison Body erupts, it will be really bad!"

The discussions were interrupted by the arrival of hundreds of disciples dressed in white robes who descended from the space boats.

The leader was an elderly man with snow-white hair, wearing a white fluffy coat with intricate snowflake patterns. He had a gentle smile on his face, but his presence exuded a sense of coldness that sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers.

With the appearance of the white-haired elder, the surrounding area became restless once again, and murmurs and exclaims echoed once more.

"That… Isn't that the Ice River Valley's First Elder, Tian Shuang Zi?" one person exclaimed in surprise.

"They even mobilized him? I heard that Tian Shuang Zi had already reached the Dou Venerate realm several years ago!"

"The Ice River Valley is really spending a lot of resources to capture the Woeful Poison Lady. It looks like the news about the Woeful Poison Body is true..."
