The capital of the Furan Kingdom, Kanghe City, had fallen into chaos. The Blood Cloud Clan that dominated the southern border of the Floating Life World had been enraged, the Pixiu Mountain that had only existed in legends after the Great Calamity had appeared.
The various powers of the Floating Life World all paid attention to this news.
The vast western region of the Floating Life World had always been the sphere of influence of Green Dragon Mountain.
Meanwhile, the Snow Crane Sect was located amidst the numerous mountains in the west, occupying the Jade Ridge Snowy Mountains where it had been established.
It had only been over ten years since the sect had opened its doors, but it had already become a major sect that was renowned far and wide.
Other than the daughter of their Chief 'Jade Crane' Su Yun who had married the son of the Chief of Green Dragon Mountain, Su Yun herself possessed outstanding strength, also being admired by the nearby heroes as she was not inferior to any man.
Yan Zhaoge and the others headed northwest, heading straight for the Jade Ridge Snowy Mountains.
"The spiritual qi flow of this Floating Life World is not suitable for martial practitioners of our generation to absorb and refine. Normally speaking, while cultivating here is not necessarily useless, one would definitely have to expend multiple times the amount of time and effort." As they walked, Xu Fei said, "There is a limit to one's lifespan. If one cannot break through in time and increase their longevity, they may very well die of old age."
Saying thus, he sighed, "If not for a heaven-defying fortuitous encounter, this Chief Su would probably be known as a peerless genius."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge smiled, "It is still unclear exactly what her cultivation base is."
Xu Fei said, "It shouldn't be too low. Also, it has only been over ten years since she rose to fame. Considering the difficulty of cultivating in this Floating Life World, it should already be very difficult."
"Especially when, according to you, the others of the Snow Crane Sect seem rather mediocre. In comparison, they are even more extraordinary."
Feng Yunsheng, Ah Hu and Ying Longtu had also generally understood the situation now. Feng Yunsheng now said, "Compared to the difficulty of cultivating in here, the mediocrity of the others might be the norm."
They all nodded.
Yan Zhaoge pondered for a moment before saying, "It has yet to be discovered in the Eight Extremities World after the Great Calamity. However, before the Great Calamity, there were once records of a strange physique that appeared, known as the Living Source Body, also known as the Living Water of Exhausted Source or the Bitter Sea Traversing Body."
Hearing this, Feng Yunsheng, Xu Fei and the others all grew interested as they swivelled their heads to look at Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge recalled as he said, "Under normal circumstances, there is nothing special about the Living Source Physique as it would be no different from an ordinary person."
"However, in the Era of Doom where spiritual energy is extremely scarce and almost dry, it will be difficult for normal people to absorb and refine spiritual energy. But the warriors who boast the Living Source Body can train as usual. It's like a dry field that has a source of fresh water.
"To put it simply, if there is such a person who possesses the Living Source Physique, he might appear very ordinary in our current Eight Extremities World."
"Of course, it's also possible that your aptitude is still outstanding, but that will depend on your innate aptitude in other aspects. It has nothing to do with the Living Source Body."
"However, when this person came to this Floating Life World along with the others, while it would be difficult for others to even take a single step, having to put in hundreds of times more effort than cultivating in the Eight Extremities World, this person who possesses the Living Source Physique is able to do so as though it is flat ground, no different from cultivating in the Eight Extremities World."
When everyone heard this, they all clicked their tongues in wonder. "The Boundless Universe is truly full of wonders and mysteries."
Xu Fei asked, "You suspect that Chief Su is of the Living Source Physique?"
Yan Zhaoge said, "This is merely one possibility. It is also possible that this Chief Su's aptitude is extremely outstanding, far surpassing our imaginations, or that she has had some heaven-defying fortuitous encounter."
As they spoke, they advanced. After a long and arduous journey, the pure white snowy mountains had already appeared in the distance.
Yan Zhaoge's gaze swept over. He saw that there were currently numerous figures scattered about the snowy mountains, as though they were searching and guarding against something.
Gazing carefully, they were all garbed in white clothes and draped in cloaks of crane feathers, seemingly having merged as one with the surrounding white snow.
With Yan Zhaoge's eyesight, he was able to see that there was an image of a snow crane flashing its wings on their clothes.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge instantly understood that these were all disciples of the Snow Crane Sect.
Roughly appraising them, Yan Zhaoge sighed inwardly. These Snow Crane Sect martial practitioners were mostly of the Body Refinement realm. There were very few who had attained the Martial Scholar realm of qi refining.
Xu Fei and Ah Hu also saw those martial practitioners who seemed to be one with the snowy ground.
"These people, could it be that they are searching for us?" Xu Fei knit his brows, "The Blood Cloud Clan's Rong Zhi revealed that we might be related to the Snow Crane Sect in Kanghe City. While most people might not know why he came to this conclusion, it would not be strange for the news to spread."
Feng Yunsheng said, "What senior apprentice-brother Xu means is that because the Snow Crane Sect is unable to ascertain our background and intentions, they have also first taken precautions against us?"
Ah Hu scratched his head, "But, with just these Body Refinement martial practitioners, how can they guard against us? The difference in cultivation bases is too great. They wouldn't even be able to discover us even if we walked past them. "
"While we didn't exert much strength over at the Furan Kingdom, we should also know that a defensive line formed by Body Refinement martial practitioners would be completely useless ah."
Yan Zhaoge pondered for a moment before smiling, "Throwing a stone to test the waters. The other side indeed doesn't understand us, and also doesn't hope for these Body Refinement martial practitioners to discover us. What they are hoping for is that we can discover these Snow Crane Sect martial practitioners ah."
Feng Yunsheng murmured, "If we had come for the Snow Crane Sect, we would naturally have taken the initiative to contact them, introducing them to Chief Su Yun through these Snow Crane Sect disciples."
Xu Fei nodded, "Whether we have good intentions or bad intentions, we would still inevitably have to interact with those of the Snow Crane Sect."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "It is precisely so. Let's go down."
Exchanging glances, they smiled as they descended from mid-air, landing on the snowy mountain.
Yan Zhaoge and the others did not conceal their tracks, not concealing their auras as they strolled amidst the snowy lands as though they were climbing a mountain for a stroll.
Very quickly, some Snow Crane Sect martial practitioners discovered them.
"This Jade Ridge Snowy Mountains are under the jurisdiction of my Snow Crane Sect. Fellow daoists, please report your names."
Hearing the other party's question, Yan Zhaoge smiled mildly, "Please inform Chief Su of your sect. You only need to say that an old friend has come to visit."
After a slight pause, Yan Zhaoge added, "An old friend from thirty years ago."
The Snow Crane Sect disciples exchanged looks, an old man walking out from the crowd, saying, "Guests, please wait a moment."
Saying thus, he swivelled his head to the side. The Snow Crane Sect martial practitioner beside him nodded, turning and leaving.
Seeing this, Xu Fei said, "It looks like that Chief Su is in the vicinity."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "Heading in the direction of the Furan Kingdom, waiting for us in this area where we have just arrived at the snowy mountain."
Feng Yunsheng asked, "Green Dragon Mountain should have received the news very soon, right?"
"It shouldn't be too late. After all, strictly speaking, the Jade Ridge Snowy Mountains are also within the sphere of influence of Green Dragon Mountain. The Snow Crane Sect is a vassal of Green Dragon Mountain." Yan Zhaoge gazed at those Snow Crane Sect martial practitioners, "Still, I am rather interested in another matter now."
"There are actually Grand Spirit Stones here, and their quality is not bad at all. Their production also seems to not be low?" Yan Zhaoge's eyes lit up. (To be continued.)
