A shadow of a whip broke through the ice mist and lightning, as if it was a strike from outer space. It went straight into the depths of the intertwined ice and lightning, where the naked eye and Divine Sense could not penetrate.
Another blood-curdling scream rang out. When the power of ice and lightning dispersed, the old Ice Raccoon monster was already badly mutilated. As for its Primordial Spirit, it had been shattered into nothingness by the intertwining ice and lightning.
A square-faced old man in a gray robe with a long beard strode through the air with a three-foot-long gray whip in his hand.
"Haha, I'm sure Pill King Lu won't be offended by this old man's actions."
"Fellow Daoist, you must be joking. If you hadn't made a move, I'm afraid this junior would have escaped." The man with the severed arm sized up the long-bearded old man and said, "May I know your name?"
"My surname is Gou, and my given name is Qian." The long-bearded old man stroked his beard and smiled. "Pill King Lu, you've most likely come for the Heavenly Realm Stone."
"Fellow Daoist Gou's words are correct. I've heard that the Heavenly Boundary Stone has many miraculous uses, so I naturally want to see it for myself."
Severed Arm did not deny this. At the same time, he speculated about Gou Qian's origins. Even if there were humans, demons, ghosts, and devils in this world, there were very few Mahayana realm cultivators who could transcend tribulations. Gou Qian was someone he had never seen or heard of before. Yet, he had suddenly appeared in the Chaos Monstrous Realm and even came to the Ice-Lightning Wasteland. The fact that he was able to come here meant that he knew a lot about the Heavenly Boundary Stone.
"The Celestial Boundary Stone is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, but it's hard to find even a trace of it. This time, there have been many strange movements in the Demon Realm. Elixir King Lu and the almighty figures of the Demon Clan aren't really planning to share a rare treasure like the Celestial Boundary Stone with him, right?" Gou Qian probed.
"We're just taking what we need. I don't know much about the Heavenly Boundary Stone, so I naturally need to borrow some external power." Severed Arm asked, "Fellow Daoist Gou, on the other hand, why did you suddenly appear and help me kill that Ice Raccoon Junior?"
Gou Qian said, "I naturally want to take a look at the miraculous effects of the Celestial Boundary Stone. However, this place is mysterious and unfathomable, and my strength alone isn't sufficient. As for the powerful cultivators of the demon race, I don't trust them. After some consideration, I think it's safer to join forces with you, Pill King Lu. "
"Very well. In that case, let's join hands to explore the secrets of the Celestial Boundary Stone," said Duan Bi. Even if Gou Qian did not cooperate with Gou Qian, he would not leave just like that. Even if the other party's background was unknown, it wouldn't stop them from using each other.
"That's good. The deeper we go, the fiercer the power of ice and lightning. I didn't dare to go in alone, but now that I have Pill King Lu's help, I can go in and take a look," Gou Qian said with a laugh.
"Then let's go in and take a look." Severed Arm stretched out his hand and swiped at the void in the distance. The surrounding Phaseless Profound Fire surged. The power of ice and lightning in front of him was directly pushed aside by this arm. "For safety's sake, the two of us should maintain a certain distance so that we can take care of each other."
"That's good." By the time Gou Qian nodded, the severed arm had already disappeared into the tunnel before him.
As he moved forward, the broken arm raised his hand and a small amber ball wrapped around a sound transmission talisman rolled out from the Phaseless Profound Flame. The amber ball didn't seem to have any resistance and directly entered the ice mist under his feet. It seeped into the ice layer and was frozen. It was as if it was born in the ice layer and was one with his aura.
Not long after the severed arm, Gou Qian flew past this place, but he didn't discover anything out of the ordinary.
The two of them alternated as they proceeded forward. Along the way, they killed several world spirits like the Old Ice Fox Monster. Although they didn't learn about the Celestial Boundary Stone from the world spirits, they didn't know about the Celestial Boundary Stone. Severed Arm and Gou Qian discovered five other places that were similar to the Ice Pond and the Ice Cedar Forest.
Furthermore, these places appeared to be independent of each other, but they were all secretly connected. Severed Arm pondered the connections between these places and discovered that they had formed a massive Eight Trigrams diagram. Even though there were still two more locations that he couldn't ascertain, he was able to deduce their approximate locations.
"Fellow Daoist Heavenspan, do you know of a human Grand Ascension Stage cultivator by the name of Gou Qian?" Severed Arm recalled that the devilish bead that Heavenspan Devil Monarch had attached himself to was still in his possession.
"A human Grand Ascension Stage cultivator by the name of Gou Qian? I haven't heard of him. Why? Has he also come to find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Boundary Stone? " Heavenspan Devil Monarch asked curiously. He tried his best to recall, but he couldn't recall anyone by the name of Gou Qian.
Heavenspan Devil Monarch asked about Gou Qian's appearance, his treasures, and his aura when he attacked. "That's strange. I shouldn't have no impression of a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator whose strength is similar to Pill King Lu's."
"Perhaps he's a reclusive cultivator," Severed Arm said.
"That's also possible. Although this realm appears to be quite large, it's actually quite small for Grand Ascension Stage and Tribulation Passing Stage cultivators. Although there has been no lack of reclusive powerhouses since ancient times, the probability of them being reclusive is extremely low. True powerhouses have all fought their way to the top after experiencing many hardships and dangers. Those who become famous must have their own path of growth. There shouldn't be no trace of them at all. "
"Even if he doesn't reveal any flaws now, he'll eventually be able to see through them." Severed Arm's heart trembled, and he began to take this mysterious Gou Qian even more seriously. Of course, he wasn't afraid of Gou Qian. Besides, his lotus clone had followed him all the way here based on the clues he had left behind. It would be fine if Gou Qian didn't do anything bad. However, if he did, Severed Arm didn't want to complicate matters, but he wasn't afraid of fighting him either.
Then, Severed Arm roughly explained the Realm Spirit and the Eight Trigrams Formation to Gou Qian.
"The Eight Trigrams Formation, the Beginning of the Sealed Realm! This is indeed the place where the Heavenly Boundary Stone is sealed! "Demon Monarch Heaven Reaching's voice was filled with intense excitement.
"The Beginning of the Sealed Realm?" Severed Arm was mulling over these words when he suddenly smelled a trace of demon blood.
The Sky-Roaming Kun Shark had also been here and was injured.
"Elixir King Lu, it seems that other than us, others have also come here." Gou Qian's voice came from afar.
"Let's do our own thing and not interfere with each other." Gou Qian's origins and intentions were unclear, and Severed Arm didn't want to get into a conflict with the Sky-Roaming Kun Shark and the Four-Eyed Golden Vast Bird. Although the two sides had temporarily stopped fighting and mobilized their forces to search for the Heavenly Boundary Stone, this simple alliance wasn't very reliable. Both sides had mostly reached an agreement to stop fighting outside and put all their energy into searching for the Heavenly Boundary Stone. As for who would find it in the end and how much benefits they would gain, it would depend on their own abilities. Life and death would be left to fate.
"Very well, I'll listen to Elixir King Lu for now. However, if there's a conflict of interest later, I won't give in."
Gou Qian chuckled. He didn't seem to be an easy person to deal with.
"If there's a conflict of interest, I naturally won't stop Fellow Daoist Gou." Severed Arm didn't deny it. Severed Arm secretly thought about the Eight Trigrams Secret Realm. Although his main body hadn't arrived, Severed Arm had several auxiliary primordial spirits here. His deduction ability wasn't as good as his main body's, but he had a considerable understanding of formations. He vaguely felt that this Eight Trigrams Secret Realm wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.
