Chapter 1192

"Xian Er, this is the skeleton of that Golden Core master; the Nine‑dark Golden Ancestor Fire inside it has already been absorbed by me. He was poisoned to death in life by his concubine with a lethal toxin. Although the residual poison on it is not as fresh as new poison, given its high grade, it should be of some benefit to you."

Speaking, Lin Feng casually tossed the skeleton in his hand toward Xiao Yixian.

"Fine."

Seeing the white bone and smelling the faint poisonous stench emanating from it, Xiao Yixian instantly delighted and took the skeleton.

After she gently ran her fingers over the blackened bone a few times, she carefully placed it into her storage ring.

Although this is not fresh poison, there are far too few poisons now that can boost her strength.

Earlier, while she was absorbing that treasure pill, she had no time to take the poisons the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan gave her.

And once she absorbs the residual poison on this skeleton together with the toxins the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan gave her, she should obtain a decent boost.

As for Lin Feng, after handing the item to Xiao Yixian, he instantly flickered away, cradling Qing Lin and leaving the place.

But just a short while after the former flew out, Hao Yan arrived before Lin Feng, accompanied by two formidable Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan strongmen with powerful auras.

Looking at them, these two are the same five‑star Dou Saint‑rank Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan strongmen who appeared earlier.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Lin Feng immediately halted, and said, "Senior Hao Yan, I was just about to look for you. So, has Zi Yan briefed you on the situation?"

"Hmm, the Dragon Emperor has already given us a rough account, and he has instructed us to follow your plan to rescue the Old Dragon Emperor. We are also willing to cooperate with the Tian Yao Phoenix clan."

Hearing this, Hao Yan immediately nodded with excitement, then looked at the former and said, "Lin Feng, what do we do now?"

Seeing that the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan side had been handled by Zi Yan, Lin Feng promptly nodded, then extended his free hand.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, accompanied by a faint flash of light, a yellowed piece of parchment appeared on his palm.

"This is a formation diagram the Old Dragon Emperor gave me, a clan‑protecting formation once used by your Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan. I've studied it on the road; it can indeed conceal the spatial fluctuations of a small world, preventing others from detecting it. Learn it thoroughly now; it will be useful later."

While speaking, Lin Feng flicked his finger, launching the parchment toward the several of them.

"Practice the formation that hides a small world?"

"Do you mean we need to hide ourselves later?"

Hearing the former's words, Hao Yan and the other two Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan strongmen instantly wore expressions of great confusion.

After all, with their current strength and the alliance of the other two great beast clans, there's no reason to be so fearful, right?

"Alright."

Although Hao Yan didn't understand why, recalling the Dragon Emperor's orders and that their Old Dragon Emperor was still trapped, he nodded, reached out, and took the parchment.

"Then, you all practice it for now; if other strong ones return later, have them also study this formation, striving for as much perfection as possible."

Seeing this, Lin Feng waved his hand, and his figure vanished instantly.

"Hey, you still haven't told us where the Old Dragon Emperor is trapped!"

Seeing the other leave, Hao Yan hurriedly shouted.

However, his question was destined to go unanswered.

Because at this moment, Lin Feng had already left Dragon Island.

Moreover, even if he were here, he still wouldn't answer the question.

"Sigh, why are the Dragon Emperor and this kid so secretive, unwilling to reveal the Old Dragon Emperor's location, only saying that to rescue him we must open that Tuo She Gu Di Dongfu. Could it be that only something inside the Tuo She Gu Di Dongfu can save the Old Dragon Emperor?"

Watching Lin Feng's retreat, a five‑star Dou Saint‑rank Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan strongman muttered in confusion.

"Fine, since they won't tell us, let's just follow their plan; rescuing the Old Dragon Emperor is urgent. After all, once he returns, our Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan won't need to be so cautious."

"Hope so, but is the Old Dragon Emperor truly still alive now?"

Hearing this, the five‑star Dou Saint who spoke first sighed.

Seeing their expressions, Hao Yan glanced at the yellowed diagram in his hand and helplessly said, "Earlier the Dragon Emperor showed us the Old Dragon Emperor's dragon scale; that can't be wrong. For now, let's study this formation first. As for the rest, we'll discuss later."

"Alas, that's all we can do."

Hearing this, the two five‑star Dou Saints exchanged glances, then wore expressions that said there was no other choice.

Just as his words finished, he recalled earlier matters and continued, "By the way, the pills that Cao Ying and those little girls refined earlier—we should distribute them to our high‑rank Half‑Saints and lower‑rank Dou Saints. Given the current situation, we'll likely face some major battles ahead."

"Hmm, you have a point."

Hearing this, the other two also nodded in agreement.

Although their Dragon Emperor didn't elaborate, their expressions made it clear the Old Dragon Emperor's predicament is far from simple.

Some major battles ahead are inevitable.

In this situation, they can't worry about storing supplies; any chance to boost strength should be taken to the fullest.

Being reluctant to part with these would only cause greater losses later.

"Young master, where are we going now?"

Seeing the two of them leave Dragon Island and rush toward the distant void, Qing Lin glanced around and curiously asked.

Hearing the lady in his arms ask, Lin Feng stared ahead and answered, "The Northern Continent, more precisely its far‑north region."

"Northern Continent?" Qing Lin's delicate oval face showed deep confusion.

After all, they have no acquaintances on the Northern Continent.

Lin Feng seemed to sense the girl's doubt and continued, "Heh, since the Stone Clan wanted my life earlier, I naturally won't be polite. I intend to use the combat techniques you mastered over countless reincarnations to gather information on the Stone Clan's current internal affairs."

"If possible, we could even covertly sabotage from within to facilitate our subsequent actions."

Hearing his explanation, Qing Lin's small face instantly showed an enlightened expression.

After all, if his combat skill is used properly, it can indeed glean a rough picture of the Stone Clan's information.

But then, Qing Lin seemed to recall something, shocked, looked at Lin Feng's chin and exclaimed, "Young master, you want to … the Stone Clan?"

"Hmm, since those guys dared to act against me, I certainly won't be merciful. This time, it's not just a light punishment. Before that, we naturally need to understand the Stone Clan's situation."

Speaking of that, a flash of light also flickered in Lin Feng's eyes.

Regardless of who is right or wrong, those Stone Clan bastards who dared to act against him will certainly bear his wrath.

After all, he is no longer the ant in the eyes of those ancient forces.

Provoke him, and it's truly uncertain who will win—the deer's fate is unknown.

The bitter wind sweeps across the endless snow plain, rolling up layers of snow waves.

At this moment, only a vast white expanse remains between heaven and earth; standing here, one feels as if immersed in a tranquil and mysterious ice-snow kingdom.

Endless silver-white landscape sparkles with dazzling yet soft light; even the occasional mountain peaks are completely covered in thick ice.

Moreover, the trees on those peaks have branches hung with crystal-clear icicles, like myriad pear trees in bloom; the cold wind gently brushes, stirring up snow mist, adding a touch of mystery and serenity, making one feel as if in an ice-snow fairyland far from worldly clamor.

"Boom!"

However, this tranquility was soon shattered by a black shadow that came swooping wildly from the distant horizon.

This black shadow moves extremely fast; one second it was tens of thousands of li away, the next it had already swept over this tranquil mountain range.

The terrifying gale even directly blew away the snow on the trees and ground, revealing the black land buried beneath hundreds of zhang—i. e., over a kilometer—of ice and snow.

As for the magical beasts hidden in the snow, they too, under that terrifying gale, were blown about chaotically in the wind‑created "avalanche," rolling wildly until they struck some towering trees or solid snow mounds, only then stopping.

"Howl!"

After finally stabilizing their bodies, the next second a large number of magical beasts began to howl in terror and flee.

Some hasty and thick‑skinned magical beasts even directly grabbed other families' female beasts and their young, fleeing at full speed, ignoring how the females' husbands or the youngsters' parents angrily howled behind them, not stopping for a moment.

Such a degree of ice and snow, if placed on Blue Star, would be enough to trigger many countries into turmoil, even directly announcing their downfall.

But here, it is an extremely ordinary trifle, because this place is precisely the extreme north of the Northern Continent!

Due to the difference between the Battle Qi Continent and Blue Star's universe, the temperature here is so low that many researchers on Blue Star would drop to their knees and call it impossible.

Because the temperature here stays year‑round below minus three hundred degrees.

As for the depths below, it is even lower—by several times, even up to tens of times!

Naturally, conversely, in the depths of the extreme north, there is basically no living thing present.

Thus, for some unknown reason, the Stone Clan Ancestor placed the Stone Realm there.

Perhaps it was because the Spirit Clan's Dou Emperor broke through to Dou Emperor one step ahead of the Stone Clan Ancestor, and first placed the Spirit Realm in the Northern Border of Central Province.

Therefore, this also caused the Stone Clan Ancestor to only be able to relocate the Stone Realm, placing it in this extreme north.

After all, judging from the current depletion of bloodline, it is obvious that the vanished Spirit Clan suffered a more severe loss.

According to some rumors, the Spirit Clan has, in the past few hundred years, actually lacked any young generation with strong bloodline power.

Otherwise, if the Spirit Clan had any young generation worth presenting, they would not have given up the excellent opportunity to train at Tian Mu before.

After all, in there one can actually gain an extra—uh, not one kun, but two and a half years of cultivation time out of thin air.

The benefit this brings to the younger generation goes without saying.

After all, if two youths of the same age and talent, one gains an extra two and a half years of cultivation for free, then the one with the extra cultivation can basically crush the other.

As for the Stone Clan, at least there are still a few young geniuses who can barely manage to produce something worthwhile.

Of course, besides that, it might also be because the harsh environment here is suitable for the Stone Clan's people to temper their bodies.

In short, no matter the reason, the Stone Realm was placed here.

However, now that the Spirit Clan has vanished and the Spirit Realm lies waste, the Stone Clan no longer has any neighboring presence.

Moreover, whenever Stone Clan members pass by that abandoned Spirit Realm, they feel uneasy, fearing they might become the next Spirit Clan.

Nowadays, many Stone Clan people hope that other ancient races will move the Spirit Realm away and merge it with their own small world, just as the Ancient Clan merged with the Withered Clan's Withered Realm to expand their small world.

However, no one is willing to take over the Spirit Realm.

After all, the Ancient Clan now fears being mistaken as the murderer who slaughtered the Spirit Clan; they haven't even had time to clear their name, so how would they dare take the Spirit Clan's Spirit Realm?

As for the Soul Clan, since they do not want to reveal the location of their Soul Realm, they likewise will not move that Spirit Realm.

Besides the Soul and Ancient Clans, the Flame and Thunder Clans are actually eager for that vast Spirit Realm.

After all, obtaining the Spirit Realm would allow them to expand their own small world, thereby saving them much trouble.

However, the Thunder and Flame Clans are locked in a standoff, neither able to take it away.

As for other forces besides those mentioned, and Lin Feng who deliberately hides his strength—would they dare to take it? (End of chapter)
