Chapter 295 - Who Dares to Provoke in the Heavenly Realm

Immortal Realm Trials, Extreme Cold Land.

Snow filled the sky, heaven and earth were covered in ice and snow, and a vast expanse of white stretched as far as the eye could see. The howling blizzard was like a series of sharp blades.

A lone figure walked slowly through the snow. The slender figure seemed so small in the world of ice and snow, as if it would be covered and submerged by the blizzard in the next second.

"As expected of a dangerous land in the Immortal Realm Trials, on par with the Sunken Sea…"

Luo Ruying walked step by step through the blizzard, which was deep enough to submerge her knees.

Under such a fierce blizzard, she did not choose to fly rashly, but instead used her spiritual energy to resist the severe cold.

However, even though she was draped in the pelt of the Fire Pelt Rat and was using all her spiritual energy to resist the cold, she could still feel a slight chill in her body.

This showed just how bone-piercingly cold this Extreme Cold Land was.

The deeper she went, the colder her body became. Luo Ruying had no choice but to consume the Heavenly Fire Spirit Pill she had refined in advance.

After taking the pill, she felt a warm current spread throughout her body from her abdomen, and her body instantly felt warm all over.

Feeling much better, Luo Ruying continued to slowly advance, following the guidance of the Luo Shen Celestial Sword fragment in her hand.

Along the way, she could see some people who had been frozen into ice sculptures and buried by the heavy snow.

Among them were even many who had entered the Immortal Realm Trials in previous years.

If one were unfortunate enough to be sent to the Extreme Cold Land upon arrival, as long as they fled immediately, they generally wouldn't freeze to death right away.

These people who had frozen to death had often unfortunately encountered an attack, or had rashly entered the Extreme Cold Land, hoping to obtain the treasures within, only to meet such an end.

Come to think of it, she had also rashly entered the Extreme Cold Land for the sake of the sword fragment's guidance. It seems she was no different from these people…

She should have given up the adventure, but the closer she got, the stronger the calling in her heart became.

Luo Ruying glanced at the corpses buried in the white snow on the ground, a resolute look on her face, and continued to step forward.

She would absolutely not be left here!

She still had to go back to see him and her child!

In the sky above the snowfield, Ning Yechen frowned slightly, enduring the blizzard as he quietly watched Luo Ruying below.

My wife doesn't even know that the ten-thousand-year Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma is in the Extreme Cold Land. Why did she specially run to such a dangerous place…?

"Daddy, where is Mommy going~?"

Luo Hongye, hiding in Ning Yechen’s embrace, poked her cute little head out from his collar, blew on her slightly cold little hands, and looked up at Ning Yechen, asking in her soft, sweet voice.

Shadow was burrowed in Luo Hongye’s arms, its shadow spread out like a cotton-padded jacket, tightly wrapping around her and insulating her from the majority of the severe cold.

"Daddy doesn't know either. Daddy will ask your mommy in a little while…"

"Ye Ye, just hide in Daddy's arms for now and don't catch a cold."

Ning Yechen reached out and held Luo Hongye’s little hand. With a slight application of spiritual energy, he immediately warmed her tender little hands.

"Mmm-hmm~!"

Luo Hongye replied obediently, her little head sinking as she burrowed back into Ning Yechen’s lapels and curled up to sleep.

……

In a certain cave in the Extreme Cold Land.

Several people dressed in green immortal robes were sitting together, each with a wretched and troubled expression.

"I never thought this Extreme Cold Land would be so dangerous…!"

"That ten-thousand-year Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma is guarded by a Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm. It's impossible to get!"

"We didn't even see a shadow of the ganoderma, and Seventh Junior Brother and the Fourth Elder are already… sigh…!"

"How about we just forget it, Lord Tianxuan…?"

The group, their hearts filled with cowardice, all focused their gazes on a blue-browed man sitting in the depths of the cave.

Lanling Tianxuan’s brows were tightly furrowed, his expression pensive.

During the last Immortal Realm Trials, his Lanling Clan had accidentally discovered that a Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma, soon to reach ten thousand years, existed here.

For this session of the Immortal Realm Trials, he had gathered a group of the Lanling Clan's outstanding disciples and elders and had them assemble in this Extreme Cold Land at the earliest opportunity, specifically for this ten-thousand-year Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma.

For this ten-thousand-year Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma, his Lanling Clan had already lost several disciples and elders with exceptional talent. If he were to give up at this point, he would be utterly unwilling.

The value of a ten-thousand-year Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma was enough for his Lanling Clan to risk it one more time!

"Everyone, I know you are all afraid, but things have already come to this. If we just give up and leave, this ten-thousand-year Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma might be handed over to someone else!"

"The sacrifices of our elders and disciples will have been in vain!" Lanling Tianxuan said, looking at the group to encourage them.

The crowd looked at each other, their hearts clearly not set at ease by Lanling Tianxuan’s few words.

After all, if they were to risk it again, there was no guarantee who would unfortunately perish here.

A thousand years of cultivation, all for nothing…

"Then, Lord Tianxuan, what should we do…?"

"Even if we join forces, we are no match for that Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix…" An elder asked cautiously.

Lanling Tianxuan already had a plan in his heart. His expression turned serious as he said:

"If we fight it head-on, we are indeed no match for that beast."

"But we can find a way to have someone attract the Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix's attention, and then have others take the opportunity to steal it!"

Hearing this, the crowd also began to think it over seriously.

It seemed that this was the only method left to try.

Just as the group was discussing how to lure away the Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix, the faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the cave, and a beautiful figure appeared at the entrance!

Lanling Tianxuan immediately raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.

The crowd's gazes were all fixed warily on the figure at the cave entrance, killing intent revealed in their eyes.

Very few people would risk coming to the Extreme Cold Land. The person appearing here at this moment was likely also here for the ten-thousand-year Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma!

Then she was an enemy of their Lanling Clan!

Under the wary gazes of the crowd, Luo Ruying, draped in the pelt of the Fire Pelt Rat, slowly appeared before them.

"Pardon the intrusion, everyone. This humble one is Luo Ruying of the Luo Shen Palace."

"I would like to borrow this place to rest for a moment. I will leave immediately after I have recuperated my spiritual energy."

Luo Ruying lifted the pelt from her head, revealing her exquisitely beautiful face, and requested politely of Lanling Tianxuan and the others with a slight bow.

"Luo Shen Palace…?!"

"Th-The Luo Shen Palace that the Demon Lord announced is under the protection of the Demon Realm?!"

"What 'protection of the Demon Realm'? She is the Demon Lord's wife, the legendary Luo Shen Empress!"

The crowd was stunned by Luo Ruying’s exquisite beauty.

But after hearing the name Luo Ruying announced, the crowd immediately reacted. Their expressions changed abruptly, and they all hurriedly retracted their gazes and killing intent, revealing fawning smiles.

"So it is the Luo Shen Empress~"

"Luo Shen Empress, you are too polite. This cave was also just found by us by chance. You need not be polite, please make yourself at home~"

"Here is some freshly boiled Tianshan Snow Dew, which can warm the body. Please, Luo Shen Empress~"

Lanling Tianxuan and several of the clan's elders greeted her enthusiastically.

The Luo Shen Clan was now backed by the entire Demon Realm, and Luo Ruying was the Demon Lord's wife. Who in the Heavenly Realm would dare to provoke her…

"Thank you."

After Luo Ruying nodded her thanks, she found a corner, consumed a few immortal pills, and then began to sit cross-legged and regulate her spirit to recover her spiritual energy.

Using all her spiritual energy to ward off the cold had consumed it faster than she had imagined.

That was why she had no choice but to come to this cave to rest for a moment, not expecting that someone was already here.

Lanling Tianxuan looked at Luo Ruying, who was sitting cross-legged and regulating her breathing. His eyes suddenly turned, and a bold idea formed in his mind…!
