Chapter 2013: Chapter 1032: Land of Ice and Snow (2)
In the vast area dozens of miles behind them, the scenery was still that of green mountains and clear waters, resembling the geological environnts they had seen earlier.
According to this, the region under their feet was clearly already at the very edge of Panlong Gorge, also serving as a junction to the next area.
In other words, after over half a month’s journey, the three of them had traversed the vast and boundless Panlong Gorge and finally arrived at this place.
As for the snow-covered mountains in the distance, they had entered another area.
Looking around at this mont, the scenes before and behind them were completely different.
This polarized landscape gave an incredible and extre feeling.
However, it could be confird that these two distinct regions were still within the Ancient Demon Secret Realm.
And upon considering carefully, the Ancient Demon Secret Realm, being a high-level secret realm, naturally had many geographical environnts, and it would not be an exaggeration to say it was all-encompassing.
Just these three, over the past few months, had already witnessed various geological environnts and, as a result, traversed many special regions.
Only the Panlong Gorge they had just passed through covered the largest area, and the journey through it consud the most ti.
After all, ever since Lin Tianming and the others had entered the region of Panlong Gorge, they had stayed there for a full month.
During this period, they stopped and started repeatedly, encountering nurous demonic beasts and seeing many Heaven and Earth Treasures along the way.
Moreover, half a month ago, they encountered the Black Gold Ape Group and subsequently had a major battle with four human cultivators led by Wang Yaowu.
Ultimately, all the treasures fell into their hands.
After that battle, Lin Tianming and the others took a few days to recuperate and restored their states.
Subsequently, they continued their training in the Ancient Demon Secret Realm, rarely getting a chance to pause.
After half a month’s exploration, they finally went beyond the bounds of Panlong Gorge and arrived at this locale.
During the previous half month, Lin Tianming and his companions did not gain much; though they encountered nurous demonic beasts, they found few treasures, let alone anything particularly precious.
Regarding the human side, they did encounter a few unfamiliar cultivators one after another.
Among them, every human they t was at or above the late-stage Golden Core cultivation realm; there were both loners and small groups of two or three people.
According to Lin Tianming’s perception, these people were also searching aimlessly in Panlong Gorge, seemingly on treasure-seeking expeditions.
Whenever so Heaven and Earth Treasures were to be found, they weren’t picky, picking up many things that Lin Tianming and his companions had no interest in.
Including occasionally encountering demonic beasts, these individuals naturally couldn’t avoid a battle, given they were after treasures.
Due to their commotion, Lin Tianming’s attention was drawn.
However, Lin Tianming’s divine sense was powerful, and his perception was remarkably keen.
Thus, Lin Tianming detected their trail and quickly took a detour to avoid direct contact.
Conversely, those human cultivators had no idea that three powerful individuals had passed by near their area of activity.
In this way, Lin Tianming and his companions traveled continuously, rarely having opportunities to take action.
Under such circumstances, their gains were indeed modest, even considerably ager.
However, there was no alternative since Lin Tianming and the others had high expectations, finding ordinary Third Order Treasures uninteresting.
Moreover, where could they easily encounter high-value Third Order Treasures or precious Fourth Order existences?
Besides, even if they did, there would often be the shadow of so powerful demonic beasts nearby.
Hence, although Lin Tianming and his companions were strong, they sotis had to assess risks.
Also, to avoid excessively exposing their trace, many high-risk, low-reward discoveries had to be directly overlooked by them.
As a result, their gains were even scarcer.
Lin Tianming wasn’t surprised by such an outco.
Because in his view, even though the Ancient Demon Secret Realm was a high-level secret realm, truly precious Third and Fourth Rank Treasures couldn’t possibly be found everywhere.
What’s more, the secret realm had been opened dozens of tis up to that point.
Additionally, over the millennia, the number of cultivators who entered the Ancient Demon Secret Realm likely numbered in the thousands.
Many of those entering were backed by powerful forces in Qingzhou.
In fact, quite a few cultivators from regions around Qingzhou had entered the Ancient Demon Secret Realm.
On this basis, those powerful forces that sent people into the secret realm multiple tis had much more intelligence at their disposal than first-tirs.
anwhile, after dozens of modifications and improvents, the information held by these forces was sufficiently accurate, and the Heaven and Earth Treasures they held would account for a significant portion.
In this aspect, these powerful individuals had a significant advantage and a safer guarantee.
Therefore, the fact that Lin Tianming and his companions harvested so little during the half month was not surprising.
Furthermore, having encountered the Black Gold Ape Group and several others like Wang Yaowu, they had already garnered significant gains in the previous half month.
So in the continued experiences, the lack of treasure acquisition didn’t surprise or dishearten Lin Tianming.
For now, they had already left Panlong Gorge and were about to enter the next expansive, unexplored region.
For this reason, Lin Tianming focused his gaze forward, mulling over the information recorded on the map in his mind.
Quickly, Lin Tianming withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi.
Subsequently, Lin Tianming paused for a mont before speaking: “Tianyun, Xi’er, on the map Yulan Sect gave us, there’s actually no record about these glaciers and snowy fields before us.”
“Not even the na of this place appears.”
“So based on these circumstances, I’m afraid the ice world before us won’t be simple.”
At this mont, hearing Lin Tianming’s words, Lin Tianyun’s expression turned slightly solemn.
It was evident that he, too, understood the rationale behind Lin Tianming’s premonition.
After all, the map Lin Tianming was using was provided by Yulan Sect, the foremost Nascent Soul force in Qingzhou.
And Yulan Sect had entered the Ancient Demon Secret Realm multiple tis; over the millennia, at least a few hundred cultivators must have entered.
Based on Yulan Sect’s overall strength and heritage, they must have a certain understanding of the general situation in the Ancient Demon Secret Realm.
At the very least, those self-contained vast regions would assuredly have their basic situations grasped by Yulan Sect.
As for the areas not explicitly recorded on the map given to Lin Tianming by Yulan Sect’s sect leader, it was either because they were too small, small enough for Yulan Sect to completely ignore,
or the Heaven and Earth Treasures within were extrely sparse, thus not garnering Yulan Sect’s attention.
Beyond that, it was either that this area was imnsely perilous, also hosting nurous treasures, thus deliberately kept hidden by Yulan Sect.
Doing so was simply to prevent others from entering and hence taking away the Heaven and Earth Treasures within, avoiding any loss to their own interests.
Of course, there’s also a possibility that due to the imnse size of the Ancient Demon Secret Realm, even Yulan Sect, with its formidable capabilities, had not grasped these areas’ basic situations.
Hence, such areas lacked fundantal information on the map provided by Yulan Sect.
In any case, the areas not explicitly recorded on the map tend to be more dangerous.
On this point, Lin Tianyun had a premonition.
And not just him, upon entering this region, Lin Tianming shared a similar premonition.
Consequently, besides being cautious, Lin Tianming internally also held an unusual sense of anticipation for the Heaven and Earth Treasures within this icy world.
