Xu Jun hurried through the forest. After all, this was the sacred ground of the Ice Palace. Even though he was a disciple of the Ice Palace, he did not dare to jump around carelessly.
However, when he arrived, he was shocked to discover that Xu Dongshan was looking in a certain direction with a grave expression. It was even more so for the guardian sacred beast of the Ice Palace. However, there seemed to be a faint hint of fear in its eyes.
Although Xu Jun was only in the Xiantian realm, as the patrolling envoy of the sect in the northern border, his eyesight was quite good. When he saw the Snow Leopard's eyes, he could faintly see a trace of fear.
He was extremely shocked. The snow leopard actually showed such an expression in the Ice Palace. It was truly unimaginable.
Taking a deep breath, he took a step forward and said, "Grandfather, I've returned."
Xu Dongshan nodded slightly. His gaze was still fixed in front, and he did not turn around. Moreover, his expression became even more grave.
Xu Jun looked at his grandfather in surprise. He knew that his grandfather's expression was definitely related to He Yiming who had just arrived. However, it was still beyond his expectations that He Yiming could make his grandfather so fearful.
After a moment of silence, Xu Jun said, "Grandfather, He Yiming returned to the Ice Palace with me."
Xu Dongshan's eyes lit up. He immediately turned around and asked, "You know him?"
"Yes."
"Tell me in detail how you know him." Xu Dongshan said coldly, "Don't leave anything out."
Xu Jun nodded without hesitation. He recounted his encounter with He Yiming in Peng City, as well as how he had easily killed the sacred beast.
The Snow Leopard's body trembled slightly. With its intelligence, it naturally understood what Xu Jun was saying.
It turned out that He Yiming, who didn't look very impressive, actually had such a powerful strength. A Holy Beast was actually destroyed just like that.
Although the snow leopard believed that it was definitely much more powerful than the sacred beast, it definitely did not want to provoke that terrifying fellow who could kill the sacred beast in an instant.
Xu Dongshan slowly nodded his head. He was increasingly certain in his heart. Perhaps, only experts who had reached this level could easily do such a thing.
Xu Jun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Grandfather, I was traveling with Mr. He. On the way, he suddenly turned back and said that someone was following him. In the end, he only returned after an entire night. I asked him who the person behind him was, and he said … "At this point, Xu Jun suddenly stopped, because he still couldn't believe that He Yiming's words were true.
Xu Dongshan frowned and asked, "What did he say?"
Xu Jun clenched his teeth and said, "Mister He said that the person who chased after us was the Sacred Lord Kirin of the totem clan, and that the two sides fought."
Xu Dongshan sucked in a breath of cold air. At this point, the suspicion in his heart had completely disappeared.
After a while, he asked in a low voice, "Did Mr. He say who won?"
Xu Jun was stunned. He couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes as he said, "Grandfather, he was just speaking carelessly. I didn't see Sir Sacred Lord Kirin."
Xu Dongshan snorted coldly and said, "What? Do you think he's lying to you?"
Xu Jun lowered his head and actually didn't dare to raise it.
Xu Dongshan shook his head and let out a long sigh. "Mister He didn't lie to you. He must have met Sacred Leader Qilin and fought with him. Hehe, lying to you … "Xu Dongshan raised his eyebrows and said," Even Mr. I doesn't have the right to do that, let alone a little guy like you. "
Xu Jun widened his eyes in shock. He took a deep breath and said, "Grandfather, could it be that Mr. He really is …"
He actually didn't dare to finish his sentence. Perhaps he had already confirmed this in his heart, but it was another matter if he had the guts to say it out loud.
Xu Dongshan nodded slowly and said, "Didn't you hear how Lord Sect Master addressed him? The peak of the human path. Hehe, I didn't think there would be another person at the peak of the human path in this world. "As he mumbled, a strange thought crossed his mind.
What about the white horse sacred beast? Was it also a top-notch sacred beast on par with Kirin?
Xu Jun looked in the same direction dumbfoundedly. Indeed, only powerhouses of the same level were qualified to be addressed as brothers by Lord Sect Master.
However, when he recalled his interactions with He Yiming along the way, he had to admit that He Yiming didn't seem to have that kind of domineering aura or the demeanor of a peerless expert that kept people at a distance.
Moreover, Ou Yangming's youthful appearance completely deceived him.
Xu Jun smiled bitterly to himself. It was too late for regrets. It was indeed regrettable that he did not receive any pointers from such a powerhouse when he traveled with him. However, in his heart, he was extremely excited. The honor of being able to travel with a powerhouse at the peak of the human path was not something an ordinary person could enjoy.
At this moment, the Connate powerhouse actually regarded him as an ordinary person.

With light steps, he followed the power in Yuan Lixun's hand and slowly walked into the distance.
Although he was summoned by Lord Sect Master, He Yiming had no intention of hurrying over as soon as possible. He held Yuan Lixun's hand and walked among the flowers that were completely different from the outside world.
At this moment, he only felt that he must be the happiest person in the world.
A Venerable One coming to the Ice Palace and a person at the peak of the human path were two completely different concepts. He Yiming firmly believed that if he were only a Venerable One or a Connate powerhouse who had not even become a Venerable One, he would definitely be treated differently when he came to the Ice Palace.
Putting everything else aside, if he were only a Venerable One, he would definitely feel ashamed of his inferiority when he faced Yuan Lixun, who was a Five Qi Great Venerable, and would not be as relaxed as he was at this moment.
This was the psychological change caused by the difference in strength. But fortunately, He Yiming had successfully ascended to the pinnacle of human dao and also possessed the supreme strength of the world's number one in name. Not to mention Yuan Lixun, he was extremely confident even when he faced the powerhouses at the peak of the human path.
"Yiming, you've surpassed a Venerable One now, haven't you?" Yuan Lixun asked softly as she looked at him.
He Yiming was so fast when he appeared that even she could not detect him. His body technique alone was not something a Venerable One could perform.
He Yiming smiled proudly and said, "I've indeed surpassed a Venerable One, and I've even surpassed a Five Qi Great Venerable."
He Yiming did not want to hide anything from Yuan Lixun. Moreover, he knew that everyone would find out about his advancement sooner or later.
Although Da Shen and the northern border were very far away, and there were no newly advanced Venerables from the northern border among the Venerables who went to the southern border this time, the Ice Palace of the northern border did not know about his advancement. However, the news could not be kept a secret for long.
Yuan Lixun immediately stopped in her tracks. Her beautiful eyes were filled with extreme surprise.
In her opinion, no matter how powerful He Yiming was, it would be amazing if he could advance to a Five Qi Great Venerable. However, He Yiming's answer had far exceeded her imagination.
"You … You're already at the peak of the human path?" Yuan Lixun asked with a trembling voice.
Before she came to the northern border, she did not understand what the peak of the human path meant. But now, she had long understood the meaning of these words.
The peak of the human path stood at the top of the human path. It was the most powerful group of people after the disappearance of the divine path.
He Yiming nodded hard as if he wanted to assure her. He answered softly, "I am!"
Yuan Lixun's beautiful eyes glowed. At this moment, her heart was filled with pride.
Ever since she advanced to a Five Qi Great Venerable through that special method, she had been feeling conflicted. She knew that the advancement method could not be replicated, and it could only succeed at a price that was far beyond the imagination of any ordinary person.
Obviously, He Yiming would never be able to enjoy the same benefits. Therefore, she was still a little worried. If He Yiming had not even become a Venerable One when she met him in the future, his self-esteem would definitely be greatly damaged.
However, at this moment, this bit of worry had vanished without a trace.
He Yiming was worthy of being the most outstanding martial genius. In just a few short years, not only had he successfully become a Venerable One, but he had also broken through the limit of Venerable Ones to become an existence at the peak of the human path. In comparison, her progress was negligible.
"How did you do it?" Yuan Lixun asked excitedly.
He Yiming hesitated for a moment before slowly recounting everything that happened after they parted.
From him, Yuan Lixun learned about Chu Haozhou, the White Horse Lightning, the Dragon Snake of Wailing Ghost Ridge, and so on. She even knew about the divine weapons, the Nine Dragons Cauldron and the Leizhenzi, as well as He Yiming's invincible achievements in the western world.
Unknowingly, they walked slower and slower because at this moment, they were completely immersed in their own world.
After an unknown period of time, when He Yiming finished recounting everything, Yuan Lixun's beautiful eyes faintly flashed with a trace of pride.
In her eyes, He Yiming was still the same as before. He was still so tall and unparalleled, and his arms were always her warmest support.
Her gaze passed through He Yiming's shoulder and landed on the White Horse Lightning. She could not help but smile with relief when she sensed the powerful power contained in this top-notch holy beast.
Suddenly, the first voice seemed to have sounded beside them, "Lixun, can you invite Brother He over now?"
Yuan Lixun cried out in surprise and immediately forgot all the calmness that she had painstakingly cultivated over the past few years.
She pulled He Yiming's hand and quickly walked up the mountain. Her face was already bright red as if she had done something wrong. She lowered her head and did not dare to raise it up …
