Under the ink-blue sky, the clouds rose and fell one after another.
The sun set in the west, and the moon rose in the east. It was another cycle of day and night.
Li Qingshan slowed down and dismissed all of his abilities. Using the night wind that blew over, he soared freely through the sea of clouds.
"So high! Big Blacko, you can already fly so high. "Xuanyue extended her hand in an attempt to touch the moon.
"I'm still far from it!" Li Qingshan smiled. With a flap of his wings, he suddenly rose higher and left the sea of clouds far behind.
The world suddenly fell silent. Even the sound of the wind gradually faded away.
"Stop rising. If we go any higher, it'll be the atmospheric winds," Xuanyue said in a hurry.
"I'm still far from it!" Li Qingshan gazed at the horizon, but he gradually descended. Passing through the sea of clouds, he arrived at the Boundless Mountains that rose and fell. In the past, they had once passed through the myriad mountains together to go to the Dragon province, but they stopped at the border.
He suddenly pointed at a long, blue line on the horizon. "Look, what's that?"
"That's … the Ice Sword Cliff!" Xuanyue's eyes widened as she watched the blue line rapidly grow larger and higher. In the end, it turned into a towering ice mountain that cut through the mountains from the east to the west. Above it was a long mountain of black clouds, and snow fell from it like goose feathers. The sound of wind and snow rang in her ears again, growing louder and louder.
Finally, Li Qingshan stood below the Ice Sword Cliff once more. The iceberg was just as lofty and magnificent as before, but it no longer seemed so insurmountable.
The fierce wind ruffled his scarlet hair. Before the snow had even landed on him, it was evaporated by the heat from the phoenix's wings, kicking up white mist.
"You want to climb it again?" Xuanyue asked in confusion.
"No, that's enough. Once is enough. "Li Qingshan took a step forward and pressed his hand against the iceberg gently.
"Big Blacko, come to the Dragon province with me! If worst comes to worst, I won't let you be my pet anymore. "Xuanyue made a rare display of bashfulness.
"It's not the time yet."
Li Qingshan had a kind of understanding in his heart. Perhaps there would never be a time like this. Originally, he wanted to keep her by his side, but he found that the distance between them was even further than when she was brought back to South Hub City. Right now, he could go to South Hub city as he pleased. He could even wander through the Dragon Plane easily and admire the Nine-tailed Fox Queen's beauty, but he could not close the distance between them. It would be futile to ask him to stay. He might as well fulfill her wish.
It was time to part.
"If you don't want to go, then so be it. I'll go myself!" Xuan Yue said hatefully. Her large eyes were somewhat dazed as she stared at his back.
Suddenly. The Ice Sword Cliff shook slightly. It was as if an ice giant was shaking its body. Snow and ice filled the sky, and under the illumination of the moonlight, it looked incomparably magnificent.
Li Qingshan closed his eyes. As if he was listening to something, he released the power of tremors from his hand, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, undergoing a subtle adjustment.
The Ice that formed the Ice Sword Cliff was even tougher than steel, and it contained wondrous spiritual energy. It was definitely not formed naturally. Legend had it that the Ice Sword Cliff was formed from a divine sword falling from the sky, but no cultivator had come to break through the ice in search of the sword in all these years. He found it rather strange, but he did not think too much about it.
In the past, it was precisely this mountain of ice that blocked his path. Brother Ox had also left here, leaving behind a request from above the heavens. He had entrusted it with far too many feelings and promises.
Since this was the beginning of everything, then he would start all over again from here!
"Resonance!"
Li Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes. The power of tremors rippled from his hand, scattering a layer of white Ice and revealing a half-transparent layer of blue Ice. Then, it spread through the entire Ice Sword Cliff. The power of tremors was not powerful, but it made the Ice Sword Cliff tremble violently. Pieces of ice fell off.
Crack! With Li Qingshan's hand as the centre, cracks spread out like a spider's web, reaching deep into the Ice Sword Cliff.
The more the cracks spread, the larger they became. They were like bolts of black lightning, extending recklessly.
Li Qingshan pulled back his hand and turned around. He pulled Xuanyue into his arms and kissed her soft lips.
"Meow?" Xuanyue widened her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, kissing him deeply.
In the blink of an eye, Ice Sword Cliff loudly collapsed. With an earth-shaking boom, pieces of Mount Han the size of small mountains poured down in torrents, filling the sky with ice and dust, almost dispersing the dark clouds that hung in the sky all year round, submerging their embracing figures.
The dark clouds dispersed, and the ice and dust settled. The bright moon shone.
The Ice Sword Cliff had turned into glaciers, displaying various wondrous forms. Under the moonlight, they shone with a magnificent, cold light.
The path to the Dragon province was no longer obstructed. The cold wind blew, refreshing and pleasant.
"It's time to set off." Li Qingshan rubbed her head, and her cat ears trembled. He was reluctant to let her go. She was so delicate and weak in his arms, which made him feel pity for her. He was worried about her uncertain future, so he tried to persuade her. "Why don't you go to the Mist province? The Banyan Tree King is a good friend of mine. He'll take care of you. "
"None of your business!" Xuanyue turned him down flatly and pushed Li Qingshan away. She wiped her mouth forcefully and said angrily. She was not as obedient as she seemed. She was very willful. However, who didn't have some willfulness in the cultivation community?
Li Qingshan shrugged and imprinted a jade talisman before shoving it into her hand. "No matter what danger there is, no matter where I am!"
"Got it! Hmm? What's that? "Xuanyue accepted the jade talisman and suddenly pointed into the depths of the glacier.
Li Qingshan looked in the direction of her finger. There was a particularly large piece of Ice there, standing in the centre like a small mountain. There was a white, oval-shaped object in the centre. It did not give off any special aura, so he had never noticed it before.
"Is this the legendary falling divine sword?"
Li Qingshan was rather curious too. He arrived before the Ice Mountain and discovered that it was particularly clear, transparent, and extraordinarily tough. There seemed to be a huge cocoon in the ice, constantly radiating with coldness. He tapped the ice gently with his finger, and the ice collapsed, revealing the white cocoon. It was only a few meters tall, but the silk that formed the cocoon was as fine as snow and as translucent as ice. It did not seem like silk at all. His soul sense was unable to penetrate it, nor did it give off any aura of life.
"Don't be so curious, or you'll freeze to death!" Li Qingshan grabbed Xuanyue's hand that wanted to touch the cocoon and pressed it against the cocoon. The coldness was so heavy that even he felt bone-chilling. So this was the source of the Ice Sword cliff?
"I won't die. Hurry up and see what's inside! If it's a treasure, give me half. I saw it first! "Xuanyue said.
"Alright, alright!" As Li Qingshan spoke, he activated the power of vibration. However, he discovered that the cocoon was abnormally tough, and unlike Ice, it could not be destroyed by resonance.
"Be careful, don't damage it," Xuanyue said anxiously.
Li Qingshan unfurled his phoenix wings, burning with raging flames. He flew over a hundred meters before enveloping the entire cocoon.
The silk melted and turned into gurgling water. Gradually, a figure appeared from the cocoon.
