"If that's the case, let's keep going. If these people want to die, we'll grant them their wish."
Luo Ping continued.
With that, the group continued forward with Tan Xian. They traveled more than sixty kilometers in a single breath. Liao Chengyun and the others couldn't hold on any longer as the power of extreme frost gradually increased. For safety's sake, Luo Ping put everyone into the Arcane Gates.
Only he, Chen Xiuxiu, Kong Haotian, Tan Xian, Feng Yiming, and Gu Mina remained outside. There were six of them in total.
Chen Xiuxiu had long since assimilated with the phoenix body. Her cultivation speed was several times faster than before, and she was now a ninth level golden immortal. Needless to say, Gu Mina was a level higher than Luo Ping. She was a second level peerless immortal.
The six of them were strong enough to hold on for a while longer. Even if they couldn't hold on in the end, Luo Ping could release the Golden Tripod to protect them.
And so, Luo Ping's group continued forward. The glaciers were extremely vast, and they'd only traveled a hundred kilometers or so. There was still a long way to go before they reached the heart of the glaciers.
Because of this, fewer and fewer groups appeared as they ventured deeper. Those who'd managed to hold on were at least eighth level golden immortals.
However, the number of Death Ice Sculptures did not decrease. Along the way, they were evenly distributed. This meant that Immortal Cultivators of different cultivation levels had all appeared in the glaciers and eventually lost their lives here.
Looking at the peerless immortals sealed in ice, Luo Ping and the others were filled with emotion. Even at such a high level of cultivation, they still couldn't resist the power of nature. This was enough to show how minuscule humans were in the face of nature and the universe.
"The path of Immortal Cultivation is long and rugged. Countless Immortal Cultivators are marching forward without any hesitation. In the end, most of them die on the way. How many of them can persist until the end?"
Kong Haotian said emotionally.
"Yes. Many people cultivate for tens of thousands of years, but in the end it's all in vain. They can't even touch the pinnacle of cultivation. However, even if the road ahead is littered with corpses, countless cultivators still have strong dao hearts and bravely press on. This is perhaps the most admirable thing about cultivators."
Luo Ping continued.
"Sigh, in my opinion, most cultivators cultivate in pursuit of immortality. As for dao hearts, that's just an added layer of determination.
"But you're right. Whether it's a strong dao heart or immortality, it's still a cultivator's strong point.
"However, there are so many Immortal Cultivators in the entire Immortal Region. How many of them can successfully ascend to the Immortal Region? In the last thirty million years, only Immortal Immortal Jiang Zheng succeeded.. "
Although Tan Xian agreed with Luo Ping and Kong Haotian, he also had his own opinion. He deeply understood that cultivators who could ascend to the immortal realms were all chosen by the heavens.
"Immortality is the goal, and the process of cultivation is a kind of attitude. Do cultivators know that they won't have the chance to cultivate to the stage of immortality, so they'll commit suicide on the spot?"
"Those ordinary people's lives are only a few decades, but they still live very fulfilling and exciting lives. Therefore, the most important thing is to enjoy the process of cultivation. If they can cultivate to the stage of immortality, it'll be even better."
Luo Ping said.
"Alright, stop sighing. Let's be more vigilant. Look at the teams around us. They've already surrounded us."
Gu Mina reminded everyone with a hint of displeasure.
"Haha, next is the time for us to enjoy the process of cultivation. We must have a good fight."
Kong Haotian said with a smile.
Luo Ping and the others continued forward, paying no attention to the teams around them. Just as they walked for another two li, the sound of the air being torn apart suddenly rang out. More than a dozen immortal weapons released a powerful force at the same time, quickly enveloping Luo Ping and the others.
At the same time, more than a dozen spatial domains attacked from all directions, completely confining the space around Luo Ping and the others, preventing them from moving.
The whole process was completed in the blink of an eye. When Luo Ping and the others stopped, the surrounding space had been completely sealed. The immortal weapons were suspended around and above Luo Ping and the others, releasing power to imprison the bodies of Luo Ping and the others.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen cultivators appeared in the surroundings, standing neatly near Luo Ping and the others, forming a circular encirclement.
。
After these people appeared, they did not attack immediately. Instead, they looked at Luo Ping and the others with sinister smiles on their faces.
"City Lord Luo, we haven't seen each other for tens of thousands of years. I didn't expect you to be a peerless immortal already. Congratulations."
"It seems that City Lord Luo's sacred weapon is indeed extraordinary. Otherwise, how could City Lord Luo cultivate so quickly?"
"I just don't know what level City Lord Luo's strength has risen to. I happen to have some time, so I can help City Lord Luo test it out."
An old man opposite Luo Ping spoke up.
"So it's Elder Sima Ao of the Vastsky Merchant Guild. It's been a long time indeed. However, it's been eighty thousand years, and your cultivation hasn't changed at all. How frustrating."
"Since Elder Sima Ao wants to spar, I'm more than happy to oblige. However, I'm afraid that your cultivation of eighth level peerless immortal isn't enough."
Luo Ping looked at the person opposite him and smiled faintly.
His words were full of mockery and disdain. This made the old man opposite him furious, while the people beside him sneered inwardly.
"Haha, Sima Ao, your cultivation isn't enough. Did you hear that? I think you shouldn't dream of seizing City Lord Luo's sacred weapon. You'd better scram and go treasure hunting."
"Otherwise, you'll be killed by City Lord Luo in one move. That would be a disgrace to the Vastsky Merchant Guild. Hahaha …"
An elder from the Immortal Treasure Tower sneered and laughed arrogantly.
"Humph, Mu Hu, you're just a level higher than me. Do you really think that your strength is superior to mine?"
"A person's strength can't be judged by his cultivation base alone. Some people seem to have a high cultivation base on the surface, but in reality, it's just a facade."
"I'm determined to get Luo Ping's sacred weapon. If you know what's good for you, leave obediently. Otherwise, I'll kill you too."
Elder Sima Ao of the Vastsky Merchant Guild had an ugly expression as he pointed at the elder from the Immortal Treasure Tower.
Although the elder from the Immortal Treasure Tower, Mu Hu, had reached the Ninth Grade Peerless Immortal Realm, Sima Ao wasn't afraid of him at all. He didn't put the other party in his eyes at all and threatened him without holding back.
The conversation between the two of them didn't hide their intention to seize Luo Ping's sacred weapon. It seemed that they were determined to get it.
"Luo Ping, I didn't expect you to grow so fast. I can only blame myself for not completely eradicating you back then."
"But it doesn't matter. Today, you'll die in my hands. Let this glacier be your burial ground."
Just as Elder Mu Hu of the Immortal Treasure Tower was about to speak, another voice sounded from the other side. It was directed at Luo Ping.
Everyone looked over and found that the speaker was a stooped old man. His eyes were emitting a terrifying light.
"Humpback Gong, your cultivation was so much higher than ours back then, but you still couldn't kill us. Even if you've reached the Ninth Grade Peerless Immortal Realm, do you think you still have a chance?"
"Today, since the elders of the other three merchant guilds are here, and there are also experts from the First Grade Clans and First Grade Immortal Sects, I think it's time to reveal your true identity."
"Otherwise, it'll be interesting if the three elders of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce besiege you, the real leader of the merchant guild."
"Although I'd like to see that happen, I'd rather kill you with my own hands. Besides, you should release your immortal beast for everyone to see. After all, it's pretty cool to have a fire dragon as the president of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce as an immortal beast."
Luo Ping spoke to Humpback Gong.
Although Humpback Gong's cultivation had improved, Luo Ping still didn't take him seriously. Moreover, he began to reveal the humpback Gong's true identity in front of everyone.
The surrounding cultivators were shocked when they heard this, especially the three elders of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce. They were both shocked and furious.
"Luo Ping, what did you say? How dare you insult our president? "
"Today, I'll turn you into ashes and never let you reincarnate."
An elder of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce said furiously.
Luo Ping ignored the elder's words. His eyes were still fixed on Humpback Gong, waiting for his response.
"Hahaha …"
"After hiding it for so long, it's time to reveal this secret. Since City Lord Luo has brought it up, I'll take this opportunity to announce it."
"After all, as long as I get my hands on City Lord Luo's sacred weapon, no one will be able to stop me from dominating from now on."
Humpback Gong said unhurriedly after laughing loudly.
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the crowd to react. With a flash of brilliance, a stream of light flew out from his body and quickly turned into a middle-aged man in a red robe.
"President!"
The three elders of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce shouted in surprise when they saw the middle-aged man appear.
At this moment, they recalled what Luo Ping had just said and instantly realized something. Their faces turned ugly.
"Let me introduce you all. This is President Kui Ye of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce. I'm sure everyone knows about his identity. However, I'm sure no one knows about his other identity."
"President Kui Ye is Humpback Gong's Immortal Beast. All this while, President Kui Ye has only been the president of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce on the surface. In fact, the real person in charge of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce is Humpback Gong."
Tan Xian rushed to introduce President Kui Ye's identity. Of course, the main reason was to tell everyone that President Kui Ye was Humpback Gong's Immortal Beast.
"What? President Kui Ye is Humpback Gong's Immortal Beast? "
The experts of those forces were extremely shocked. They looked at President Kui Ye and Humpback Gong in disbelief.
