"Master, is what you said true? Is that fellow really that strong?" Lin Qing'er asked incredulously, looking at the valley ahead.
Zhao Kuan beside her also showed surprise.
Jiang Li, who looked not much older, had actually charged through the fierce wind without sustaining any injuries. This was truly unbelievable.
"My judgment is never wrong. Besides, if he didn't have strength, would he dare to charge into such a dangerous place alone?" the Sect Master of Xunlong Sect slowly continued.
As soon as the Sect Master spoke, both of them nodded in agreement.
Knowing that the valley would have the Bingji and still daring to proceed, one was either a fool or had sufficient confidence.
Clearly, with the fierce wind just having passed, that fellow was obviously the latter.
"I wonder who that fellow is. To possess such terrifying strength at such a young age!" Lin Qing'er murmured, her red lips slightly bitten, looking in the direction Jiang Li had left.
"Junior Sister, stop daydreaming. You can't even see him anymore!" A hint of fierce brutality flashed in Zhao Kuan's eyes, and he slowly said.
Lin Qing'er ignored Zhao Kuan's words and continued to look forward, her thoughts already drifting far away.
...
A valley deep within the northern plains.
The valley was beautiful, with many spiritual plants emitting a rich fragrance.
Jiang Li moved rapidly through the valley like a streak of light. The scorching sun in the sky grew increasingly dim.
The temperature around the valley dropped rapidly. The Huiyue released a dense, chilling spiritual energy that raged throughout the valley.
Soon, with the rampant chilling spiritual energy, the entire valley exuded an extreme coldness that seemed on the verge of freezing everything.
The plants and animals in the valley began to freeze, and a layer of ice condensed on their surfaces.
Jiang Li also felt wisps of cold air assaulting him, his clothes becoming coated with a thin layer of frost.
"Is this the Bingji? It's truly powerful!" Jiang Li murmured to himself, feeling the extreme coldness around him.
According to the information from the Sect Master of Xunlong Sect, the Bingji had not yet reached its peak. This temperature would continue to drop, eventually freezing everything.
The current chill had already slightly reduced Jiang Li's speed.
It was important to note that Jiang Li's strength had reached an exceptionally terrifying level. For him to feel the cold was already quite astonishing.
Jiang Li circulated his vital energy, and a surge of powerful vital energy flowed within his body.
It was as if countless gods and demons were roaring within him. With the boundless vital energy circulating, the surrounding coldness was immediately dispelled, and Jiang Li's speed returned to its peak as he continued to gallop forward.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
After a while, as time passed, the scorching sun in the sky had become very dim.
A large amount of chilling spiritual energy raged around them, and a considerable amount of this chilling spiritual energy had condensed into ice crystals that fell from the sky.
These ice crystals, like snowflakes and meteors, continuously impacted the cold valley.
It was getting colder and colder. Furthermore, these ice crystals, as Jiang Li slightly raised his right hand, struck his hand, causing a slight stinging sensation on his skin.
Even the power of gods and demons within his body seemed to be slightly suppressed.
It seemed he had to use spiritual fire.
"Ming Yang Shen Yan!!!"
Jiang Li took a deep breath and then summoned his spiritual fire, the Ming Yang Shen Yan.
The Ming Yang Shen Yan was a divine-level spiritual fire, possessing extreme temperatures that could burn everything, containing an incredible, terrifying power.
At Jiang Li's summon, the Ming Yang Shen Yan surged out of his body, enveloping and wrapping around him.
The Ming Yang Shen Yan churned continuously, and a warm, scorching aura permeated the surroundings.
This scorching aura was capable of burning everything, and the surrounding air seemed to boil.
After summoning the spiritual fire, Jiang Li immediately felt the surrounding coldness being dispelled. The ice crystals, before they could even approach him, melted directly from the scorching temperature, turning into mist.
Indeed, in front of a divine-level spiritual fire, even this Bingji could not harm him.
It was precisely because he possessed a top-tier spiritual fire that Jiang Li dared to enter so boldly.
After all, extreme low temperatures would not stop their erosion simply because of powerful vital energy.
Moreover, no one knew how terrifying the destructive power of this Bingji truly was.
Now that he had spiritual fire, he had nothing to fear.
After confirming that the surrounding Bingji could not cause him any harm, Jiang Li then unleashed his extreme speed, activating the Great Kun Peng Technique to its fullest, and continued to speed towards the depths of the valley, where the Tianji Quasi-Emperor was located.
The coldness in the depths of the valley intensified, and the ice crystals that appeared around them grew larger and larger.
Sharp, massive ice crystals, like meteors, impacted this valley.
The many fierce beasts hidden within the valley let out pained shrieks and wails under the extreme cold.
However, with the protection of the top-tier spiritual fire, none of this could affect Jiang Li or stop his progress.
After several hours of rapid travel, Jiang Li finally left the range of the Bingji.
The Bingji's range was confined to the valley. After leaving the valley, the rampant Bingji was no longer present, and green life reappeared around him.
The extreme cold gradually dissipated, returning to its original tranquility. The powerful Bingji seemed to have divided the area inside and outside the valley into two completely different worlds.
"It should be just ahead!"
Jiang Li stood in a wooded area outside the valley and looked towards a mountain range in the distance.
According to the system's coordinates, the Tianji Quasi-Emperor was located in the mountain range ahead.
The mountain range in front was filled with tall peaks.
Great peaks, like iron towers, were scattered all around.
That should be the mountain. Jiang Li unleashed his immense spiritual power, looking towards the towering peak in the center of the mountain range.
This peak was located in the center of the many mountains, piercing the clouds like a divine pillar.
The surrounding peaks encircled the central peak, like loyal guards.
The surrounding mountains stretched and crisscrossed, and faint spiritual energies seemed to surge in the void.
The arrangement of the surrounding mountains and the faint spiritual energies were interconnected, as if forming a special, profound power.
Jiang Li then used his Nine Palaces Eye Technique.
Coupled with Jiang Li's powerful spiritual power, the Nine Palaces Eye Technique allowed him to clearly sense that within the mountain range ahead, there seemed to be many terrifying formations.
The surrounding space was filled with a sense of danger.
Formations were set up? Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn't expected such an obstacle here.
I don't know how to break formations, but who says formations must be broken to enter safely?
Jiang Li's expression remained unchanged as he swiftly flew directly towards the formations that contained terrifying auras.
