"Let's go!"

Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin were shocked. But after all, the two were martial arts Grand Masters, they quickly recovered their senses.

Immediately, they employed their lightness skills, following the path that Lin Fei had cut out with his saber energy, they swiftly moved away.

"Rumble."

Just after they left, the big avalanche arrived. The entire valley was completely sealed off.

"Huff..."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. They looked back and glanced behind them. The valley was gone. In its place was a new mountain peak. It was a snowy mountain!

Facing such power of nature, once they were still in the valley, would undoubtedly die. There would be no chance of luck.

"Brother Lin, you..."

Despite having interacted with Lin Fei for one or two months, ever since Lin Fei achieved perfection in Saber Qi and saber intent, the two had never made a full effort again.

Unexpectedly, today, when Lin Fei made a move again, it was so shocking! He forcibly cut out a path with his saber energy.

That terrifying power, even if those top-tier Qi Condensation cultivators used magical treasures, might not be able to match it.

Magical treasures! These were usually owned by those who have achieved the Foundation Establishment realm.

Lin Fei's this saber seemed to be approaching the power of the Foundation Establishment realm. Even if it was not, it was not far off.

Lin Fei was able to slash out such a terrifying saber. Even if the founder of the Nine Profound Sect were to resurrect, it probably wouldn't be much different.

In terms of combat power, the founder of the Nine Profound Sect was truly invincible below the Foundation Establishment realm. And now Lin Fei, also vaguely possessed this kind of grandeur and style. Invincible below the Foundation Establishment realm.

Especially that saber. It was no longer like any earthly saber technique. At least, Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai, fairly speaking, couldn't block that saber.

However, despite being shocked, Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai understood the most important thing right now was to slay the exotic beast and become martial saints, once they became martial saints, they could slash a sword or saber stronger than Lin Fei just now. Foundation Establishment was the key!

The three continued to head north. The further north they went, the colder it became.

One day, two days, three days...

They didn't know how long had passed. Suddenly, Liu Yibai stopped.

"We're here."

Lin Fei and Shen Lianxin looked ahead. It was a flat plain, and there was nothing in sight. No mountains, no vegetation, no animals. Only glaciers. Endless glaciers. It was so vast that one couldn't see the end.

"Are there exotic beasts here?"

Lin Fei looked around. It was empty, where could there be traces of any exotic beast?

Shen Lianxin couldn't help but ask, "Brother Liu, this is an empty and vast expanse. It's endless, where could an exotic beast possibly hide? Could you have remembered wrong?"

Although the possibility was low, it was not impossible. After all, this snowy field looked the same everywhere. Not much difference.

Liu Yibai shook his head slightly, pointing to the glacier in front of him. He said calmly, "I didn't remember wrong, the exotic beast is under the glacier."

Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

"Under the glacier?"

Shen Lianxin had a thought in his heart. Since it was under the glacier, wouldn't that require breaking the glacier? Therefore, Shen Lianxin pulled out his saber and was ready to break the glacier.

"Brother Shen, I advise you not to touch the glacier, otherwise, it will be hard to predict life and death," Liu Yibai warned.

"Hard to predict life and death?"

Shen Lianxin didn't understand. What danger could this mere glacier pose?

Liu Yibai didn't speak. A strand of Innate True Qi flew out directly and fell above the glacier.

"Crack."

When the Innate True Qi had just arrived above the glacier, it was actually frozen into an ice block and fell to the ground, shattered to pieces. This scene made both Shen Lianxin and Lin Fei can't help but feel shocked in their hearts.

"This is..."

Shen Lianxin also released a strand of True Qi. However, the result was the same as Liu Yibai's. Both were frozen, fell on the glacier, and shattered into pieces.

"Swoosh."

Lin Fei flicked his finger. His Saber Qi flew into the air above the glacier and stayed a little longer. However, it was only a little longer. It was still the same as Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai's Innate True Qi. It was frozen into ice crystals, fell on the glacier, and shattered.

"It can actually freeze my Saber Qi. There's something strange about this glacier!"

Lin Fei had a slight chill in his heart. He knew very well how strong his Saber Qi is currently.

Lin Fei's inner power was three-in-one. This foundation surpassed countless martial artists. Later, it was transformed into Innate True Qi, which combined with saber intent to transform into saber energy. In essence, Lin Fei underwent an additional enhancement at the innate level.

Overall, from inner power to Saber Qi, Lin Fei had almost undergone two enhancements. Therefore, Lin Fei's Saber Qi was now so strong, so terrifying, and far exceeding other martial arts Grand Masters.

However, even so, it still couldn't resist this strange glacier.

Liu Yibai said solemnly, "This glacier is very strange, it seems to be a real forbidden area for life. Whether it's inner power, True Qi, spiritual power, magical artifact, etc, once step into the glacier, it will be frozen. Even if a martial arts Grand Master steps in, within a breath, he will turn into an ice sculpture, forever left on the glacier. Perhaps only a Martial Saint or a Foundation Establishment True Person can forcefully break into the glacier. But even such existences probably won't get far on the glacier..."

Lin Fei nodded. This world had too many secrets. This land of the extreme north was actually such a terrifying place.

Lin Fei was afraid that many people want to leave the Great Chang through the land of the extreme north was wishful thinking.

Great Chang was vast, but there were still people who want to leave. However, upon reaching the land of the extreme north. This glacier was almost impassable.

As for what was at the end of the glacier, nobody knew.

"What about the exotic beast?" Shen Lianxin asked.

"It's under this glacier. Under the glacier, is the sea, called the North Ice Sea! The exotic beast I found lives under the sea. It should be naturally adapted to the cold of the sea area.

When the exotic beasts of Great Chang were completely extinct, only this harsh environment of the North Ice Sea could possibly allow exotic beasts to survive."

Lin Fei and Shen Lianxin thought carefully. It seemed to make sense. If the exotic beasts were not in harsh environments, they would probably have been killed by some Martial Saints long ago.

Only in the North Ice Sea were even the Martial Saints helpless, so they have been able to reproduce safely till now. This also gave hope to people like Lin Fei.

"Brother Liu, the glacier is so dangerous, how can we lure out that exotic beast?"

Shen Lianxin asked again. If the exotic beast was in the North Ice Sea, then the three of them, even as martial arts Grand Masters, were helpless. After all, they dared not step on the glacier. How could they hunt the exotic beast in the North Ice Sea?

"Young exotic beasts are very playful. I have observed that around the end of March each year, young exotic beasts will appear. Sometimes it's one, sometimes it's two. We just need to wait quietly.

Wait for the exotic beast to come ashore from the North Ice Sea, and then immediately take action. We must kill the exotic beast at all costs! This is our only hope!

Once failed, the exotic beast may not come ashore again. By then, none of us will be able to build a foundation and become Martial Saint. This is also why, although I knew the whereabouts of the exotic beast many years ago, I have not taken any action. After all, once we fail, it would cut off our last hope!"

Lin Fei and Shen Lianxin looked at each other. They understood what Liu Yibai meant.

"Alright, let's wait then."

So, the three of Lin Fei found a place that could slightly hide their bodies. Then they sat down cross-legged. They have Innate True Qi or Saber Qi to protect their bodies. It was not a problem to hold on for half a month.

Time passed bit by bit. They set off on the eighth of March. It took some time on the road, but it should only be a few days, now it's only mid-March at most.

The exotic beast had not yet appeared. The three of them sat cross-legged on the ground, unmoving. They were quickly covered by snowflakes, forming three ice sculptures. Perfectly blending with the icy and snowy environment around.

One day, two days, three days... They didn't know how long it had passed.

"Crack."

Suddenly, on the usually calm glacier, there was a faint vibration. On the solid glacier, a faint crack appeared.

"Boom boom boom."

As if something terrifying was hitting the glacier from underneath.

"The exotic beast is here!"

"Whoosh."

The three ice sculptures in front of the glacier opened their eyes instantly.
