Chapter 5984

Chen Ping and Mingli traveled south, crossing tens of thousands of miles of the Beiming Wasteland.

The farther south they went, the richer and purer the spiritual energy between heaven and earth became—far beyond anything the Twelve Heavens could compare to. Chen Ping could clearly sense that the laws of the Thirteenth Heaven were more complete and stringent. Cultivation here yielded twice the results with half the effort, but the demands placed on a cultivator’s foundation were correspondingly higher.

After adapting to the laws of this realm, the Mind Condensation Technique flowed through Chen Ping’s body more smoothly and powerfully than it ever had in the Twelve Heavens.

Three days later, a colossal city of ice and snow emerged on the horizon.

The city walls rose a hundred feet high, entirely forged from blue-black ice of unknown origin. A faint blue rune-light rippled across its surface, clearly forming a powerful defensive formation. At regular intervals along the walls stood guards clad in ice-blue armor, their auras tightly restrained. The weakest among them was already at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Above the city gate, three ancient seal characters—etched in strokes like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes—radiated cold authority: Hanyuan City.

“Mr. Chen, this is Hanyuan City,” Mingli said.
“This city has a history of over ten thousand years and is one of the most important gathering places for cultivators in the southern Beiming Ice Field. There are more than a hundred thousand permanent cultivators living here.”
