Chapter 1930 - 1929: Zi Qing, Ice Age!

The crowd was taken aback by the words.

Qingyi pondered beside and said, "So, according to one force with ten thousand people, they would have sixteen million two hundred thousand cultivators! And that’s a conservative estimate. If we count it as twenty thousand, then that’s over thirty million! And this doesn’t include the tens of thousands of small sects that don’t make the list!"

"This..."

The crowd gasped!

Indeed, as they listened, it was terrifying!

In the Upper Realm, eighty percent of the cultivation is at the Immortal Realm, but there are also Saints and Quasi-Saints, though they are at the bottom level in their sects and make up a small proportion.

Even if we calculate the enemy at the ideal number of sixteen million or more, their people at the Immortal Realm must be at least ten million!

As for us.

Our total is only over five million, with only two million at the Immortal Realm.

Completely not the same level!

Additionally, we haven’t even mentioned the many Great Powers in the Upper Realm!

"This... it’s completely impossible for us to win!"

That Ice Element mage said with a gloomy face.

"Nothing is absolute," Qin Feng said seriously and solemnly, "If we don’t try, there’s no chance of winning. But if we do try, there’s at least a one percent chance to fight for!"

"One percent..."

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

"Even one percent is worth fighting for!" Qin Feng said.

"..."

Everyone’s mood suddenly dropped.

Recently, with the rapid cultivation progress at the Heavenly King Palace, everyone was high-spirited, but upon hearing about the Upper Realm, they were like deflated balloons.

Qi Ling noticed and raised her brows, scanning the crowd, "Lord Qin has the Dragon Emperor Bloodline and could completely walk away, living a carefree life in another world. Yet, here he stays, facing the enemy with us, unafraid of death, while you have lost your confidence!"

With her words, everyone adjusted their mindset.

"Right! This is about protecting our own home; we cannot falter!"

"With Lord Qin, nothing can destroy us!"

"We believe in Lord Qin!"

"..."

Seeing them regaining high spirits, Qin Feng glanced extra at Qi Ling.

Indeed, as the Commander, she was excellent. With just a few words, they changed their attitude.

"Good, it’s here!"

Qin Feng said.

The Taiji Spaceship had arrived at their destination.

Everyone was amazed at the Taiji Spaceship’s speed and power.

"We’ll go first."

Ziyi and Qingyi walked to the ship’s railing and then leaped into the surging sea.

The two focused and concentrated, channeling their energy and forming hand movements.

As their energy moved, a layer of white light appeared over their entire bodies, like a layer of glowing ice.

Then.

The two pressed their palms onto the sea surface and shouted through gritted teeth, "Ice Age!!"

Crack!

Crack!

From where their palms touched the sea, a thick layer of ice rapidly formed and spread all around!

"..."

Those on the Taiji Spaceship were shocked!

Even Qin Feng couldn’t help but widen his eyes and admired, "Amazing, so vast..."

Looking far from the deck, a hundred miles around had a thick layer of ice.

A hundred miles!

What’s the concept of that?

It’s the area of a small city!

Such a vast area of ice was actually formed by just the two of them!

"How is this possible?!!"

This group were Ice Element cultivators, many of them already at the Immortal Realm, yet they were still astonished!

"If it were me, I’d never be able to achieve it! What kind of power is this..."

A cultivator at the Immortal Realm muttered in disbelief.

"And if you look closely, within the thick ice layer, there’s a mystical aura, making it appear unbreakable!" Another marveled.

At the front, Bing Chenzi gracefully stroked his beard and said with a smile, "You don’t understand, do you? That’s the power of the ’Ice Stone,’ which even in the Upper Realm is considered top-tier."

"Indeed!"

Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

With the two of them, the task of constructing the "Ice Island" could be set at ease.

"Then I’ll leave this to you!"

Qin Feng said to Ziyi and the others.

"What about you?"

Qi Ling asked.

"I have other important matters to attend to," Qin Feng replied, "Use the Taiji Spaceship for now; after the Transmission Array is set up, I’ll come retrieve the ship."

Everyone nodded.

Even for those in the Immortal Realm, traveling from here to Vine Dragon Mountain takes half a day, but with the Taiji Spaceship, it’s just an hour.

The initial resources needed for constructing the Ice Island are immense, primarily needing Spirit Stones, astronomical in number. Only with sufficient Spirit Stones can various arrays be set up, ensuring the Ice Island’s continuity and strength, and the Taiji Spaceship is needed to bring the Array Formation Team here.

"I’ll accompany you back."

Qi Ling said.

She oversees the entire situation; once matters here are confirmed, she must return to Vine Dragon Mountain.

Qin Feng then summoned the Fire Cloud Bird, and together they headed back to Vine Dragon Mountain.

The Fire Cloud Bird had grown significantly and was now lightning fast in flight.

On the way to Vine Dragon Mountain, Qi Ling knitted her brows and couldn’t help saying to Qin Feng, "Actually... what I mentioned earlier was conservative; the reality should be worse."

"I know."

Qin Feng shrugged and replied calmly.

He understood Qi Ling referred to the situation of the Upper Realm forces she only partially disclosed, not daring to reveal the real situation, perhaps because she didn’t fully know it, but she held back to prevent fear among the people.

She couldn’t help but tell Qin Feng now, not wanting to deceive, allowing Qin Feng’s mind to prepare.

"You know?"

Qi Ling was puzzled.

"Of course."

Qin Feng shrugged, "I’ve been to the Upper Realm; although I haven’t been to many places, only stayed in Taiyang City, I have some general understanding of the situation."

According to his understanding, Taiyang City contains the Yuxu Temple and the ’Eight Kings,’ among other forces, and many small sects. Just the ’Eight Kings,’ each force has over twenty to thirty thousand people, with strong power. Taiyang City’s overall power ranks at the bottom in the Upper Realm.

There’s also the One Hundred and Eight Cities, like Ziyang City where the Purple Cloud Palace is, a mid-tier city, with the cultivation power being several times that of Taiyang City.

From this perspective.

The Upper Realm’s terror isn’t limited to what Qi Ling described.

Comparing it is like a bee vs. an eagle, totally incomparable.

"Knowing all this, don’t you have any... fear or doubt?"

Qi Ling asked curiously.

Upon hearing the huge disparity in power, a normal person would instinctively look for a way out, especially someone like Qin Feng, who could live freely in any world even without the Earth’s destruction, might think clashing head-on is foolish.

Yet he has never flinched, constantly striving and never seen doubting his abilities.

From destroying the three major Sumeru Lands to the Battle of Lake City, stopping catastrophe, and now.

He seems always the same...
