Looking at the glacier, feeling the spiritual qi fluctuations within, Yan Zhaoge seemed to realise something, "It really is of the same origin as the Female Emperor Jie Mingkong, just that there are some differences in the details …"
"Little apprentice-uncle, let's go in," Gao Qing looked at him. Yan Zhaoge nodded, "Alright."
The two entered the icy valley together. After traversing through the layers of cold ice, a wave of warmth assaulted their faces.
Sunlight actually seeped through the valley which had appeared dark due to being sealed off by the ice.
As Yan Zhaoge walked in, the scene that appeared before him was actually one of spring, the grass growing long and birds flying in the air.
The sunlight here was not natural sunlight. Instead, it was condensed from the light of the sun by someone, being equivalent to man-made.
"The owner of this place probably has a different personality from the Female Emperor," This thought quickly flashed through Yan Zhaoge's mind.
The world of ice outside the valley was for the sake of concealment.
It was warm as spring within the valley, which was the ideal living environment for the owner of this place.
As the two entered the depths of the valley, they did not see any attendants or servants within.
"Granny Li resides here alone, having no disciples as she only has a strange beast, the Feifei, by her side," Gao Qing said, not finding it strange at all.
Yan Zhaoge nodded in understanding. At the centre of the valley, a small courtyard could be seen amidst the flowers and grass.
Outside the courtyard, Gao Qing raised her voice, "We're here, Granny Li."
Laughter resounded from within the courtyard, "If you already knew, come in yourself. You're already familiar with this place."
"Yes, Granny." Gao Qing smilingly pushed open the door, turning to look at Yan Zhaoge, "Come, little apprentice-uncle. I'm very familiar with Granny's place."
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, entering alongside Gao Qing.
As the door was pushed open, a faint white qi surged.
Coming into contact with that white qi, Yan Zhaoge felt a bone-piercing chill which he could feel even with his current cultivation base.
Yet, this white qi did not affect the warm environment of the surrounding valley in the slightest as it was clearly visible.
With Gao Qing's cultivation base, while she had long since broken through space to see true Divinity, she would probably be frozen stiff in an instant if she were to directly walk amidst the white icy fog.
Still, a red jade pendant hung around her neck which emitted a ring of red light that kept the icy fog at bay, protecting her from being harmed by the extreme cold.
"Granny Li gave it to me," Gao Qing said as she walked, "This way, little apprentice-uncle."
In front of him was a vast icy mist, and he couldn't even see his own fingers.
Even if a Martial Saint entered, he would not be able to see anything clearly.
It was set up by the master of this place, forming a protective restriction. It was formed from his own immortal energy, as well as formation mysteries merged within.
With Yan Zhaoge's eyesight, just having entered the icy fog, he could already feel that time seemed to have come to a standstill.
He had cultivated the Immortal Trapping Sword and the Aeon Light Heavenly Tome, so he had a deep understanding of the profound mysteries of time.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be unconscious. Time stopped, as if they were sleeping peacefully.
Just like how Yan Zhaoge had wielded the Thunder of Eternal Night to deal with others in the past.
If one lost consciousness, even if they didn't freeze to death, they would remain in the ice fog forever.
At that time, as time passed, he would eventually run out of energy and really become a lifeless ice sculpture.
However, the person who set up this protective restriction deliberately left a chance of survival.
She had clearly imparted to Gao Qing the method to find this chance of survival and to pass this trial. Gao Qing was indeed familiar with this place as she led Yan Zhaoge through the restrictions.
Only after the icy fog before them had vanished did the two truly enter this small courtyard.
Just having entered, an ear-piercing shriek resounded by their ears, "I don't want to! Let go of me, Lili! I don't … "
Before she had finished speaking, she was interrupted as an indistinct voice resounded.
Gazing over, Yan Zhaoge saw a woman grabbing a strange beast that resembled a small fox with both hands, pressing it head first into a basin of water.
The small beast struggled unceasingly, "Lili, I'm telling you! I won't be a gentleman if I don't take revenge. I … wuuuuuu … "
The voice that had spoken was shockingly that small beast that resembled a fox, its tone sharp like that of a child.
This small beast resembled a fox in appearance, its entire body snowy white and its limbs thick and short. It was precisely the legendary Feifei.
These beasts were few in number and could be used to alleviate one's worries, not being fond of fighting.
Still, Yan Zhaoge could tell with a single glance that while this Feifei was small in size, the dense demonic qi concealed within its body was much more powerful than most demonic beasts he had seen before.
If this strange beast were to go berserk outside, Human Exalts aside, there would probably be few who would be able to withstand it.
Yet, this Feifei was currently being pressed into a basin of water like a small cat, being rubbed unceasingly as it was being forced to take a bath.
The woman who was pressing it down had the appearance of a young girl who looked no more than sixteen years of age, similar in age to the similarly young Gao Qing.
"Behave yourself. How long has it been since you last took a bath? It's fine if you don't like to be clean normally, but you have to meet guests now. " The woman rubbed that Feifei while looking up at the entrance of the courtyard, smiling, "Qing 'er, you're here? Go in and find a place to sit. I'll be right back after I've finished bathing Pingping. "
Gao Qing called joyfully, "Granny Li."
Looking at that Feifei again, she was all smiles as she said, "Pingping, you're running away to be washed again."
"Little Gao Qing, don't just stand there and watch. Come save me quickly … wuuuuu …" That Feifei struggled to speak before it was drenched in water once more.
Seeing this scene, Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, "Oh, that mischievous fatty at home, have I been too indulgent and pampering him?"
Looking at him, the woman smiled, "You are Boss Yue's junior apprentice-nephew?"
Hearing this form of address, Yan Zhaoge was momentarily taken aback before realising that she was referring to the Sword Sovereign Yue Zhenbei …
"Yan Zhaoge pays his respects to senior," Even as Yan Zhaoge answered, thoughts flashed within his mind.
It seemed like the Sword Sovereign Yue Zhenbei knew that the Female Emperor had not been the only disciple of the Astro Sovereign in the past.
Still, he seemed to have kept his mouth shut about this as he had not even told Wang Pu, Nie Jingshen and Bai Tao about it.
"I wonder how I should address senior?" Yan Zhaoge considered his words for a moment.
Yan Zhaoge would definitely not follow suit if Gao Qing addressed the other party as Granny Li.
"I am Chu Lili. My Master was a close friend of your ancestor. Still, to be honest, I was born too late, having never seen your ancestor's flair. Instead, I am rather familiar with Boss Yue." The woman smiled, "If it is from Boss Yue, you can call me aunt. Otherwise, I don't mind if we talk about our own relationship."
While her tone was casual, Yan Zhaoge could vaguely feel the majestic power within her body.
While she might seem a little unreliable, not having the demeanor of an Emperor at all.
Still, she was a genuine True Immortal like the Brocade Emperor, the Encompassing Emperor and Long Xueji!
Since the other party did not have an Emperor title or an Exalted title, Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands, "Senior Chu seems to want this Yan to bring a letter back to the World beyond Worlds? I wonder who it is for? "
