In a land full of Snow, two dots could be seen moving as the snow blew painting the whole view white.
The mountains, trees, plants, Xuan Beasts, everything here was adapted to living in this Land of Extreme Cold. It could be said that this is one of the most unique places to exist with such an eco-system.
The living entities here, be it Plants or Xuan Beasts absorb the Ice elemental Profound Energy and cultivate. It can be said that this place is a holy land for the cultivators of Ice Attributed Cultivation Techniques. Yet, even they can't reach many places before being frozen for eternity.
There are countless useful herbs, natural treasures and secrets in this land waiting for someone courageous and strong enough to explore and acquire.
This is one of the Four Forbidden Lands of the Continent: Eternal Frozen Land.
It spans across a vast region and lies in the south of the continent. Countless cultivators risk their lives to gain a fortune and change their destiny. Naturally, Countless cultivators also leave their last breaths here becoming one with the land. So, anyone has to think twice and dare thrice before coming here.
At present, beneath a Snow mountain, two figures could be seen. There was blood splattered on the floor as numerous Xuan Beasts laid on the floor. All of them only had one cut on their body. However, the blood didn't stop flowing dying the ice floor red. The two figures didn't have a drop of blood on them. At first look, they looked Sect Disciples. One of them was dressed in Sky Blue Robes while the other in Sacred Snow White Robes. But, Sky Blue was not the color of any of the sects.
The Sacred Sword Sect robes are red, Mystic Ice Sect are Snow White, Rising Valley Sect are Orange and finally, Blazing Fire Sect being Purple.
The two people at the feet of the mountain were two women, Young Women at that. The one dressed to be in Sky Blue robes looked to be around 15 Years Old. The Young Woman in the Snow White Robes who had a serene and graceful atmosphere looked to be around 15-16 years Old, a bit Older than the girl with her.
This Young Woman didn't have the Mystic Ice Sect Symol on her belt meaning she was not their disciple.
The Lass said "Senior Sister, It's been searching for 11 days for it already. Is it really there or only a rumor?"
The Young Woman replied "There are bases even for the rumors. They won't request something which doesn't exist unless they want to waste our time. I have to get it, Ke'er. If you are bored, you can return. I will return after finding the herb."
Ke'er vigorously shook her head and said "How can I leave Big Sister alone? I will follow you."
Meng Xin sighed lightly as she patted the girl's head and said "Okay then. We will continue searching tomorrow."
Ke'er smiled cheerily as her cute face looked even more adorable as she held Meng Xin's jade hand and said "Senior Sister, When you were fighting those Xuan Beasts earlier, I found a nice cave. Accidentally, I opened up a passage. I thought there were some treasures.
Alas, it was only empty. But that inner cave is not cold at all. We need not to use Profound Energy to protect ourselves from cold. We can meditate there. See, Ke'er is the most useful. Hehe." she cutely laughed.
Meng Xin calmness turned into slight astonishment as she said "Alright, Ke'er is the most useful. But you have to be careful in such situations. Next time, if you do find such things then don't go own your own. It's dangerous." she lightly reprimanded.
Even though it felt like she was scolding her, She was feeling very concerned over this matter. Ke'er instantly admitted her wrongs by saying she will be obedient and follow what her Senior Sister says.
Meng Xin followed Ke'er as she led the way into the 'inner cave' she discovered. It was on a Snow mountain. At first look, it was like any other cave. But there was a slight bump on the wall which Ke'er said she accidentally pressed and then there was a narrow passage opened at the end of the cave.
Meng Xin was a little amazed at Ke'er's luck. Then, she followed her into the passage and saw a room. It was calm, clean without a speck of dust. There was not even a hint of white in the air nor was there any bold chilling coldness. It was warm and serene.
Meng Xin was sure that a formation was needed to do this. But didn't most of the martial arts heritage disappear 50,000 years ago? She remembered her Master once saying that a great calamity struck this world 50,000 years ago and humans were on the brink of extinction. It was a hard war, finally, humans won. But the victory claimed the lives of millions if not billions of lives along with the end of bloodlines of many great families and clans accompanied by the doom of numerous sects.
Many things they left behind were lost in the rivers of time and the few that are lucky enough to receive the legacies of the Ancient powers were embroiled in a war for power. It was only long long later did peace ensue in the world with the establishment of Stable powers which were under the mutual restriction and balance.
This is the history only the top echelons of the continent knew. It is easy for some organizations to use this history to spread panic among common people and spread chaos. And the history itself is dark and terrifying. So, the people of the continent were told a sweet lie that the only War that ever happened was many million years ago which was called "Mythical War" and there was peace ever since.
With all the organizations saying the same thing, even intelligent people cannot point out a thing from this so-called history as there is no counter evidence. Thus most of the people are in the dark.
She looked at this room. There is nothing in here. So, it only provided shelter for them tonight. She and Ke'er started meditating as they sat in the room.
Time passed by. Suddenly, Meng Xin felt something. It is very faint, yet she was sure that it was a fluctuation of energy.
She felt because of 'Heart's Sense' from the Cultivation Technique she cultivated. It allows her to feel the Energy in the surroundings. The higher her cultivation, the larger the area and the sharper her perception would be.
Now, she only felt a little fluctuation but that was not the main point, that energy gave her a deadly and sinister feeling. She felt fear and hate instinctively at it.
Meng Xin silently and walked towards a corner of the room. She stood there and closed her eyes. Spreading her spirit sense, she was on guard but at the same time, focusing 'Heart's Sense' to the fullest.
A while later, she opened her eyes. Even with her calm disposition, she was unable to hide the shock and fear on her face.
That Energy once again radiated through the wall and it seemed to be coming from a small hole. Meng Xin no longer hesitated, She took her Thin long Sword and slashed at the hole with force.
'Bang'. The Wall showed signs of cracking, but in the end, it didn't. Meng Xin felt that there is something very important on the other side and it is definitely not good. She somehow felt that she had to know the problem.
Ke'er woke up from her meditation when Meng Xin first slashed at the wall. She didn't know what her Senior Sister was doing. But judging from her rare serious expression, she knew that it is very important and possibly dangerous.
Ke'er silently readied her sword to help her in case. Meng Xin didn't pause as she used her sword technique over and over, and the worry in her heart didn't decrease, yet it grew with each passing second.
*Boom*
The Wall finally collapsed. Meng Xin told Ke'er "You have to stay here and stand on guard. If anything happens, I will depend on you."
She didn't tell the words like 'Don't come because it's dangerous.' She knew if she did that, Ke'er wouldn't listen. So, she gave Ke'er a sense of responsibility and at the same time, keeping her out of danger.
The Dust settled and before the duo could even do anything, A gale of sinister energy was unleashed. Thankfully, It was not strong but it's inherent qualities are evil, and terrifying.
Meng Xin braced herself and walked forward past the broken wall to check the source. She gasped at the sight.
A chasm was present a bit ahead and it was filled with a gas in the color of mixed Pitch Black and Dark Red.
The sinister feeling and energy were coming from it. Meng Xin felt an intense bloodlust, rage, coldness from it.
But the astonishing thing is the main source of this Energy was already cut off. Meng Xin looked carefully at the bottom and found that something has been dug out at the ground. And by the signs, it is not more than 5 years since. If only the remnant energies were so strong, then what about the source of them all? But it should likely be dead since it could have escaped with its power if it was alive. Then who dug such an evil thing out? What if it falls into evil hands?
But it should already be more than 5 years and there is no major evil incident on the ruled continent. So, just what happened?
Meng Xin pushed those thoughts to the back of her head and decided to tell her master about this news.
'If there is such a terrifying enemy, there is nothing I could do against it anyway. So, I better focus on my own cultivation.'
Once she thought of letting it go, then all the worries in her mind disappeared and she was back to her calm self.
But the only thing which she felt a pity was the herb she was looking for. It was a mission she took up. If she retrieved the herb, then she would get to cultivate in 'place' which is rich in profound energy allowing her cultivation to speed up.
Alas, now she found something which she couldn't ignore. So, she was about to leave. Ironically, when she was turning around, at the corner of her eye, a light blue colored plant caught her eye. It was growing from the wall of the chasm and was hidden. And it was only a bit away from the red colored gas.
Meng Xin's eyes brightened. She spread open her spirit sense and walked into the chasm just like that. Stunningly, however, after she stepped onto air from the edge, she didn't fall down. Instead, she floated in the air.
This scene was enough to shock many many people and cause countless envy her to death across the whole continent. Because her cultivation realm is Sky Profound Realm. That is why she was able to float in the air.
She slowly floated down. Protecting her body with profound energy and a precious armor, she collected the herb. It was called Nine Yin Frost Grass. It was said to grow in extremely cold regions which are washed with blood and bones. Meng Xin only knew that a famous alchemist requested this herb and her master told her about the award. However, it was very difficult to find such a place. Hence, only a few elite disciples accepted this as a side mission.
Meng Xin wanted to wander outside to gain the insights into her cultivation technique and at the same time, finish this mission.
Surprisingly, this place isn't of extreme cold but seems to be bathed with blood and bones, yet the herb was here. She didn't think much of it and left the cave. Now, she could return and cultivate peacefully after receiving her reward. She would also allow Little Ke to cultivate in that place for a little. She thought happily.
Afterward, Ke'er watched the red gas and her cute little face was shocked sensing the bloodlust.
The Duo didn't linger longer as they avoided the profound beasts and traveled in a 'safe' path.
Their destination, Qin Capital.
