A year had passed before he knew it. If Wen Ze's Star Bell hadn't alerted him, he would have forgotten that he had already been in the Desolate Wasteland for a full year. Actually, it hadn't been long since they arrived at the Ancient Ice Plains. The Desolate Ancient Wasteland was vast, and it took them more than half a year to get here with Dark Forest.
The reason Wen Ze sent a message was to inform Miao Yi that he would arrange for someone to deliver the salary on time. The person who delivered the salary would not enter the Desolate Wasteland, but would instead enter the Desolate Wasteland through the entrance. This was what they had agreed on from the start.
However, Miao Yi had broken his promise. Most importantly, it was inconvenient for him to return to the entrance right now. It could only be said that the Desolate Wasteland Wasteland was simply too dangerous. He had already found a safe place to hide at the entrance of the Desolate Wasteland Wasteland, so it was inconvenient for him to return and receive the items. Furthermore, he had enough cultivation resources on him for the time being, so he told Wen Ze to stop sending people to throw things at him. If he could return alive, he would receive all of them.
Since that was the case, Wen Ze could only make other arrangements.
In fact, Miao Yi had prepared sufficient cultivation resources. He had always been preparing enough Immortal Essence Pills to break through to the Rainbow Lotus Realm. Back when he was still in the Heavenly Street, Yun Zhiqiu had already secretly helped him exchange for them. Every time Miao Yi advanced a level, Yun Zhiqiu would help him exchange for the cultivation resources he needed for the next level. Ever since Yun Zhiqiu came to the greater world, Miao Yi no longer had to worry about this.
Ice Valley's hearts were empty, and the cultivators were silent. In the blink of an eye, five hundred years passed.
Miao Yi's cross-legged figure appeared within the dense milk-like spiritual energy. After he finished absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, Miao Yi slowly opened his eyes.
After five hundred years of silent cultivation, it was only natural for his cultivation to grow. The absorption of the Yin Fire Element had indeed increased his cultivation speed. However, the amount of Yin Fire Element in his body was already quite large. He could no longer absorb a single Fire Element and advance by leaps and bounds like he did in his early days at the White Lotus realm. Five hundred years had passed, and the speed at which he refined Primary Immortal Pills had only increased by a dozen or so pills every day. Of course, the speed of refining a dozen or so Primary Immortal Pills in the White Lotus realm was quite terrifying.
The number of blue stars in his source source had increased by quite a bit, becoming densely packed and uncountable. However, the effect of increasing his cultivation was limited. The effect on the Heart Flame was also limited. To Miao Yi, who had been cultivating the Fiery Star Technique for so long, he was very clear on where the problem lay. Solitary Yin did not lead to birth, solitary Yang did not lead to growth. The impact was limited.
Even if no one forced him to, he still wanted to make a trip to the Eternal Heaven Valley.
He stood up and walked towards the entrance of the ice cave. The entrance had been sealed by snow.
This was a common occurrence. After cultivating for five hundred years, it was not like he never left the cave. Occasionally, he would still go and check on Charcoal. Every time he exited the cave, the entrance would be sealed by snow.
Rumble! His transcendence energy rushed out from Miao Yi's front, and the snow that sealed the entrance of the cave was blown away. He slowly walked out of the ice cave, and the snow fell heavily outside.
It was snowing outside. Miao Yi lifted his head to look at the drifting snow above the ice mountain canyon. After a moment of silence, he floated out and sped away.
He returned to the Phoenix Nest. Ling Lan opened the door to welcome him in and accompanied him to the underground palace.
The underground palace was monopolized by the Forest of Shadows. It wasn't that they couldn't accommodate Charcoal, but the strange fragrance that wafted out of Charcoal's body after he absorbed the evil aura was extremely soothing to most people. However, to the Forest of Shadows, it was indescribably unbearable. Miao Yi had no choice but to arrange for Charcoal to sit on top of the chimney above the phoenix nest.
Seeing that Miao Yi had arrived, the Forest of Shadows hurriedly got off the bed to greet him. "My Lord!"
Miao Yi had noticed the Third Grade Rainbow Lotus hidden between her brows earlier, and was somewhat surprised. "You've already broken through to Rainbow Lotus Third Grade?"
The Forest of Shadows replied, "I was already at the middle stage of Rainbow Lotus Second Grade, and cultivated in the evil source for five hundred years. The abundant supply of resentment has never stopped, which is why I can advance so quickly. "
Miao Yi knew that the evil source was important to Evil Spirits, but he didn't expect it to be so helpful. He nodded and said, "Your cultivation progress is unbelievably fast. No wonder you Evil Spirits all want to occupy the evil source. "
The Forest of Shadows said, "This is all thanks to my Lord's help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come here, and wouldn't have been able to cultivate so quickly."
Miao Yi took out an empty storage bracelet. "Our time in the Phoenix Nest is up. We should leave."
The Forest of Shadows was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Yes!" She didn't resist. She let Miao Yi put her away into the storage bracelet. Although the evil source was very tempting to her, the place she wanted to go the most was still the outside world.
After putting away the Forest of Shadows, Miao Yi turned around and said to Ling Lan, "Let Charcoal come down."
Ling Lan naturally heard the conversation between him and the Forest of Shadows. She quickly followed behind him and asked, "Mister, are you leaving? Are you going to the Dragon Flame Pool? "
Miao Yi replied as he walked, "Since I promised you, I naturally have to fulfill my promise. However, I'm afraid there are many Evil Spirit experts hidden in the periphery of the Ancient Ice Plains. I'm worried that if we were to bump into them, I don't know if we can leave successfully. "
Ling Lan quickly said, "Mister, don't worry. I will arrange for the Ice Spirit to send my Lord out of the Ancient Ice Plains. The Ice Spirit can silently open up a path under the ice, and it will be difficult for the people above to notice. However, if I send my Lord all the way to the land outside the Ancient Ice Plains, I don't think the Evil Spirit experts hidden in the periphery of the Ancient Ice Plains will notice." He could hear the joy in her voice. She probably couldn't wait for Miao Yi to quickly go to the Dragon's Den to fulfill her master's request.
Walking on the stairs, Miao Yi was stunned. He was just about to ask the Ice Spirit to cooperate, thinking that if he encountered any trouble, the Ice Spirit could help block it. However, he didn't expect Ling Lan to come up with an even better idea. They could leave through the tunnel!
That's right! The layer of ice in the Ancient Ice Plains was as thick as a thousand feet. The Ice Spirit could silently open up a path in the ice. If they left so deep underground, it would not be easy for the people above the ice to discover them. He immediately nodded and said, "Alright! Quickly go and make the arrangements. I will leave now. "
Soon, Charcoal slipped down from the phoenix nest. This guy didn't take the usual route. He didn't come down through the stairs in the phoenix nest, but instead jumped and slid down from the outside of the phoenix nest. He landed on the stairs outside and ran back into the grand hall.
There was no doubt that the evil aura was helpful to Charcoal. Charcoal originally estimated that it would take over ten thousand years for his broken horns and damaged scales to recover. However, after only five hundred years, a small section of his broken horns had already grown back. The cut had become round, and some of the damaged scales had also grown back.
Even so, Charcoal's growth was still asymmetrical, and he still looked like a dog.
After chatting for a while, Ling Lan returned from outside the hall and reported, "Mister, I've already made the arrangements. The tunnel leading to the Eternal Heaven Valley should be connected soon."
Miao Yi formed an incantation gesture and pointed his finger. The Vajra Chakram around Charcoal's neck immediately unfurled and covered his entire body. Ling Lan couldn't help but stare at Charcoal's ferocious armor. This was the first time she had seen Charcoal in armor after all these years. And with the armor to cover up the flaws on his body, Charcoal clearly looked much better. He looked mighty and domineering!
Miao Yi also donned his armor and summoned the Inversed-Scales Spear. He mounted Charcoal and pointed his spear outside the door, "Lead the way!"
Ling Lan floated up and quickly flew out of the door to lead the way.
Charcoal carried Miao Yi and quickly leaped out. They galloped across the snow-covered plains, chasing after Ling Lan who was flying at a low altitude.
"Mister, it's just up ahead." Ling Lan, who was flying in front, pointed to an ice cave at the bottom of the icy cliff. Several Ice Spirits were respectfully waiting at the cave entrance.
As they approached the cave entrance, Ling Lan couldn't go any further, so she stopped in midair.
'Whoosh!' Charcoal suddenly performed an emergency tail flick, directly reversing its direction. The ice surface was too smooth, and its body still continued to slide towards the entrance of the cave due to the inertia. However, Charcoal's claws, equipped with metal claws, abruptly dug into the ground, leaving behind several deep claw marks on the ice surface. Finally, it came to a stop outside the cave.
Miao Yi looked at Ling Lan who was hovering in midair and nodded slightly. All these years … everything was understood without words!
Ling Lan quickly landed on the ground and bowed, "Ling Lan cannot go beyond this plain. Please forgive Ling Lan for not being able to send Mister off. This is a complete map of the terrain of the Desolate Ancient Realm. Mister, you may need it on your way. "As she spoke, she presented a storage ring with both hands.
This was a pleasant surprise. The Desolate Ancient Wasteland was too vast. How could the Dark Forest possibly grasp the entire terrain? In the entire Desolate Ancient Wasteland, only the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes could fully grasp the entire terrain.
Miao Yi took the ring and didn't say anything. He looked at the phoenix nest in the distance and tapped Charcoal's abdomen with his legs.
"Roar!" Charcoal roared in the direction of the phoenix nest. He quickly turned around and jumped into the cave entrance.
The path of the tunnel was gradually sliding downwards. It extended all the way to the bottom of the ice layer, revealing the ground below. The Ice Spirits had taken care of this tunnel very well. They would go around the higher ground and fill in the uneven areas with ice. Along the way, there was an Ice Spirit at every set distance to send them off, ensuring that the path was smooth at all times. There was also an Ice Flame illuminating the ice walls. Ling Lan had put in a lot of effort.
Charcoal carried Miao Yi on his back without stopping. He galloped under the ice layer to his heart's content, sweeping past like the wind.
After a few days, the terrain of the tunnel gradually rose. A cave entrance was right in front of them. Charcoal jumped out and landed on a piece of barren land.
Both man and steed turned around and realized that they had rushed out from an ice cliff. Two Ice Spirits respectfully bowed at the entrance of the ice cliff. At the same time, the cave entrance quickly closed up and the two Ice Spirits were submerged in it.
Charcoal looked forward again. He flew on all fours and disappeared into the distance like the wind.
Miao Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he could no longer see the ancient ice plains. He ordered Charcoal to stop and jumped off. He put Charcoal away and released the Dark Forest.
The moment he appeared, he saw that they had left the world of ice and snow. Dark Forest was already mentally prepared and wasn't surprised. He just didn't expect it to go so smoothly. He looked around and didn't know where he was. He asked, "My Lord, where should we go next?"
Miao Yi raised his chin in front of him. "The Eternal Heaven Valley!"
"Ah!" The Dark Forest exclaimed and reminded him, "My Lord, with Yu Sha's example, there will most likely be experts around the Eternal Heaven Valley. I'm afraid it won't be safe."
