Chapter 1140 - 1139: Extreme North Xu Family

Since he knew that the Ice and Snow Divine Palace might have people from the Holy Land Race at the Profound Ice Platform, Ye Qingchen did not plan to stay long, so he prepared to leave with Ye Qing after a brief rest overnight.

Yu Luoxuan not only didn't stop him, but also suggested Ye Qingchen take Han Yue Ran along.

"Take her with me?"

Ye Qingchen frowned, looking at Han Yue Ran standing in front of him.

It must be understood.

His trip to the Profound Ice Platform was not for leisure, nor was he a babysitter for the Ice and Snow Divine Palace.

"Mr. Ye, the terrain of the Profound Ice Platform is complex. Without a guide, outsiders find it hard to enter. Han Yue Ran has been there once with me, so this time she will lead you!"

Yu Luoxuan explained.

In that case, Ye Qingchen could only bring a group to the Profound Ice Platform.

After leaving the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, Ye Qingchen finally spoke to Han Yue Ran:

"Now you can tell me the details about the Profound Ice Platform!"

"Yes!"

Even if not ordered, Han Yue Ran recognized Ye Qingchen's strength and status. Her previous touch of arrogance had already vanished, making her as docile as a little lamb:

"The Profound Ice Platform is located at the border between the Western Wilderness and the Extreme North. It was originally a Cold Water Lake that freezes into profound ice during the winter when cold waves sweep through, hence the name Profound Ice Platform."

"Resources in the Extreme North are scarce, while the Western Wilderness lies amidst Ten Thousand Mountains. Initially, only some Earth Immortal Clans from the Extreme North and the Western Wilderness traded to exchange for needed resources."

"Later, as the scope of trading expanded, it attracted some Celestial Immortals, yet the Profound Ice Platform Conference was a mix of good and bad..."

"Oh? Is there conflict?"

Ye Qingchen raised an eyebrow, asking casually.

"Yes, I heard from my master several times. Someone found participants' corpses outside the Profound Ice Platform!" Han Yue Ran stole a glance at Ye Qingchen, saying: "But, Mr. Ye, as a Celestial Immortal, probably no one would dare risk the world's condemnation to attack you!"

"Really?"

Ye Qingchen heard this and smiled without speaking.

What is a Celestial Immortal?

When the benefits are large enough, some will take risks, and the Thirty-Six Sects of the Celestial South are a prime example. If it were someone else, they might have been eradicated countless times by the Thirty-Six Sects.

Since they had ample time.

Ye Qingchen was not in a hurry, taking Han Yue Ran and Ye Qing along for scenic tours, guiding them both in their cultivation along the way.

Though he might not match the cultivation reserves of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace or those from the sacred places, his Celestial Immortal achievements were earned through real battles with no falsity. Compared to others, his guidance was often more incisive.

Casual words were enough to steer them away from many detours. Further, he collected Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to practice alchemy and distributed the produced extra pills to the two.

In just a few days, they advanced as much as months of hard work in the Ice and Snow Divine Palace.

Within seven or eight days, the group had already left the Extreme North, reaching the border. Although not yet in the Western Wilderness, it was no longer as cold, with more towns appearing along the way.

According to Han Yue Ran's introduction.

Though Spiritual Qi was abundant in the depths of the Extreme North, the living conditions were too harsh for survival below Earth Immortal. Even Divine Palace disciples had to wear their Sect Tokens when going out, and it was the same for ordinary families.

Ye Qingchen nodded in realization upon hearing this.

Along the way.

Both Ye Qing and Han Yue Ran attracted quite a bit of attention.

"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"

Just then, beastly roars echoed from behind.

"What a grand scene!"

Just then, murmurs arose from behind.

Some people looked toward the source of the sound.

Seeing a gigantic magical beast striding forward, the beast was several hundred feet in size, resembling a pangolin covered in huge scales with two massive dragon horns on its head.

Its huge form moved like a walking hill, each step causing a mini earthquake.

Atop the beast's head sat a youth in a Profound Robe, handsome and arrogant. Surrounding the beast were large lion and tiger beasts running alongside.

Their group moved grandly, causing the crowd to scatter in fear.

"Who is this?"

"This is a major family outing, such a mighty display! Ordinary families wouldn't be able to nurture such beings..."

"Make way, make way; getting killed by them won't even bother reasoning!"

Under the awe-inspiring gaze of the onlookers, this force passed by grandly.

"Eh?"

But as the youth swept his gaze around, Ye Qingchen was directly ignored. Yet when he saw Ye Qing and Han Yue Ran, his eyes brightened.

In the Divine Palace, Han Yue Ran's beauty excelled, and Ye Qing was also a beauty. Naturally, such a pair drew attention.

"Young Master, we need to hurry to the Profound Ice Platform to avoid ruining the important affair!"

Beside the beast, an elder in a plain robe riding a lion-tiger beast reminded.

The young man chuckled upon hearing and could only retract his gaze, yet his eyes remained ardent, always remembering.

Along the way.

They encountered each other three or four times.

Finally, on the seventh or eighth day, they met in a tavern in a small town.

This time, the young man couldn't hold back anymore, approached with a smile, "Fate truly intertwines along the way. Seeing both going in this direction, you should be heading toward the Western Wilderness?"

"Correct, and you are?"

Ye Qing slightly raised her head, responding coldly.

Seeing Ye Qing's aloof manner, not wanting to engage, though the other slightly frowned, he did not show it, instead smiling mildly, bowing:

"I am Xu Mingcheng of the Extreme North Xu Family! Coincidentally, I'm also heading to the Profound Ice Platform. If you don't mind, we could travel together!"

He intentionally or casually revealed his family's background and status.

According to him, the Xu Family in the Extreme North was considered a Major Race of Earth Immortals, quite prestigious in the Extreme North. Even looking across the Extreme North, few dared to disrespect the Xu Family.

While speaking, he was evaluating the two women.

'What a rare encounter with such beauties, and two at once, can't let this opportunity slip.'

Xu Mingcheng was full of confidence.

With ties to him, it was akin to an immense stroke of fortune, hard for ordinary women to resist such allure. He ignored Ye Qingchen who was beside them, his greedy gaze fixed on the two women.

Unfortunately, he misjudged them as neither were women seeking elevation through relationships. Ye Qing cast him a sideways glance without speaking. Han Yue Ran remained silent, with a frown and a show of dislike.

"Uh..."

Xu Mingcheng was momentarily stunned as this was unexpected to him.

However, even more unexpected was Ye Qingchen, who sat beside, slowly raised his head, and gave Xu Mingcheng a deep look:

"Scram!"

With a word.

Xu Mingcheng's expression sank, ice growing in his eyes.

This was the first time in his life being refused face to face!
