?Chapter 1079: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 1075 Beiming Island Chapter 1079: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 1075 Beiming Island Snow Lotus Mountain has been shrouded in endless white fog for over a decade.
Everyone knows that there is a recluse with great divine abilities quietly cultivating on this mountain, and naturally, no one dares to cause trouble in this region, allowing the mountain to remain as serene as when Han Li first moved in.
The nearby powers, seeing that this “great cultivator” truly just wanted to find a place of cultivation and had no other actions in these years, also settled down.
They advised their disciples not to enter this area and continued with their usual affairs.
One day, heavy snow suddenly began to fall near Snow Lotus Mountain, huge snowflakes like dandelions drifted down amidst gusty winds from the sky, enveloping the entire mountain range within them, and in a blink of an eye, only a vast expanse of white could be seen in the sky without any other color.
Almost instantly, the thick snow on the ground rose by about a foot.
Such intense snow is rare even in Shuang County.
Ordinary cultivators are also unwilling to travel in such weather, but suddenly a dazzling green rainbow shot out from Snowy Chain Peak, flashing by and then disappearing without a trace in the nearby sky.
Half an hour later, the green rainbow appeared tens of thousands of miles away, already out of the storm, appearing over another desolate mountain range.
The light receded, and a youth in a green robe with dark skin and ordinary appearance appeared-it was Han Li.
After over a decade of intense closed-door cultivation, he had finally refined all his treasures as desired; even the strand of True Fire of Taiyin was absorbed into his body and initially refined successfully.
He felt fully prepared and could protect himself in the human world unless he encountered numerous Nascent Soul-stage cultivators attacking him or met beings as terrifying as Holy Ancestor Yuan Sha again.
With the assistance of the Five Sons Demon and the Humanoid Puppet, his cultivation and divine abilities were much stronger than before he entered Kunwu Mountain.
He could even hold his own against multiple Nascent Soul-stage cultivators.

After so many years, he reckoned the affairs of Kunwu Mountain should have calmed down a lot, hence he unhesitatingly took advantage of the weather to leave the mountain and flew straight towards Beiming Island.
Only after a full half month did the nearby cultivators occasionally discover that the white fog on Snow Lotus Mountain had cleared and it was empty, looking as if completely abandoned.
The cultivator powers, surprised, naturally stirred up another storm of contention for the now available spiritual land.
“Beiming Iceland” is actually just a peninsula closely adjacent to the inland of Great Jin, surrounded by sea on three sides and directly connected to the inland on one side, with only a province apart from Shuang County.
In fact, saying it is surrounded by sea on three sides is less accurate than saying it’s surrounded by ice.
This place is indeed the northernmost land accessible to ordinary mortals; the weather is so cold that it turns drops into ice, making even lower-level cultivators reluctant to walk outside in just a robe.
Such a freezing climate has turned all the sea-facing areas into boundless icy glaciers.
The icy mountains and snowy fields are vast, almost beyond anyone’s knowledge of their breadth.
Beiming Island itself is only about a million miles in area, and at the very northern tip of the island, a huge ice city is built, known as the Northern Night Little Polar Palace, reputedly the number one sect in the north.
Frankly speaking, in terms of sect strength, the Minor Extreme Palace is not inferior to any of the top ten righteous and demonic sects of Great Jin, but because Beiming Island is so remote, most of the cultivation sects in Great Jin do not recognize this palace as part of Great Jin, treating it as belonging to the Savage Lands, viewed as a sect of oversea cultivators.
That’s why it is excluded from the ranking among the large sects in Great Jin.
However, in the sparsely populated numerous counties in the northern part of Great Jin, the reputation of the Minor Extreme Palace is probably only above Taiyi Sect and Heavenly Demon Sect, truly the first gate in North.
In these counties, the Minor Extreme Palace is also known as the Northern Immortal Palace.
Loose Cultivators and low-level cultivators who wish to join the palace are countless.
The Minor Extreme Palace also has internal and external divisions for recruiting disciples; the inner palace disciples are only selected from several great cultivator wealthy families residing on Beiming Island, while the external palace disciples are selected from small families and loose cultivators outside Beiming Island.
Of course, if the external palace disciples have truly astonishing aptitude, or have achieved some great merits, they also have the chance to be transferred to the inner palace disciples.
Not to mention the inner palace disciples, if someone acknowledges their own lesser aptitude but still wishes to join the external palace, they must walk on foot through the ten thousand miles of extreme cold surrounding the Minor Extreme Palace.
Once stepping into this area, due to restrictive formations, low-level cultivators cannot use artifacts for flying and must rely on their inherent cultivation and divine abilities to withstand the never-ending extreme cold and ice.
Anyone who can travel from this area to the Minor Extreme Palace will also be accepted and become an external palace disciple.
After all, whether relying on cultivation, magic artifacts, or medicinal pills to traverse this area, it all shows they have their merits.
But naturally, the successful ones wouldn’t be too many; quite a few cultivators directly freeze to death within, but for the sake of their future path in Immortal Cultivation, many low-level cultivators plunge into it like moths to a flame every year.
One day, tens of thousands of miles away from the Minor Extreme Palace in a certain area, there were again over ten figures wrapped in various colored fur cloaks, their bodies twinkling with spiritual light, progressing difficultly step by step against the howling wind and snow.
They had been walking in this kind of weather for a full half-month, during which several people had already turned pale and unsteady on their feet.
Yet, not one person dared to stop even for a moment.
After all, there was no way to recuperate here; they could only rely on the spirit stones in their hands and the mana within their bodies to persist.
But one individual looked particularly unwell, even his breathing seemed unstable.
After a while, he suddenly gritted his teeth, pulled out a bottle of herbs from his chest, and poured a red medicinal pill into his mouth.
The originally flushed face regained some color instantly.
“Fellow Daoist Gu, how many Fire Yang Pills do you have left?
If you continue to consume them at this frequency, there’s no way you’ll make it to the Minor Extreme Palace.
The coming Hail Area will be several times more difficult to cross than now,” said a middle-aged man enveloped by a deep yellow light shield, speaking indifferently without turning his head, seemingly well aware of the situation behind him.
“Don’t worry, Brother Gu, I still have a bottle for backup.
It should be enough to get through this area,” replied the pill-consuming cultivator, a young man in his twenties, forcing a smile as if somewhat intimidated by the middle-aged man.
“That’s good!
I certainly do not wish to proceed with someone who has no hope of making it through,” the middle-aged man, apparently satisfied with the young man’s answer, continued striding forward as his protective spirit light flickered.
The wind and snow seemed to barely affect him at all.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly followed, seeming to believe that only by staying close to him would they have a chance to reach the Minor Extreme Palace.
However, after a few steps, the middle-aged man suddenly uttered a soft ‘eh’, stopping abruptly as he looked up in surprise.
The others quickly looked up as well, only then noticing a pale blue figure floating in the air amidst the white, sweeping snow.
Strangely, within a radius of thirty to forty yards around this figure, all of the wind and snow were blocked by an invisible force, utterly unable to penetrate.
It was this anomaly that allowed the middle-aged man to spot the figure in the sky.
Everyone was shocked, their expressions changing drastically.
Being able to ignore the sky restrictions of this area was something even Core Formation experts seemed unable to accomplish; could this person actually be the legendary Nascent Soul cultivator, or possibly a high-level cultivator from the Minor Extreme Palace, although his attire looked remarkably similar.
At a loss, they exchanged glances, their hearts filled with unease.
“Are you Loose Cultivators seeking to join the Minor Extreme Palace?” The person obscured by the blue light suddenly spoke, his voice sounding quite young.
Although the middle-aged man was not highly cultivated, he had seen the wider world a few times, and upon being addressed by the figure, he instantly snapped back to reality and hastily bowed deeply, replying:
“My name is Gu Tianqi, and indeed, we are here for the trials.
May I know if you have any commands for us?”
While speaking, his face was full of respect.
“You have some sense.
Nothing much, this place seems a bit odd.
Even I am somewhat uncertain about the direction to proceed, while you seem so confident about the way forward.
You must have some kind of guiding artifact!” the blue figure spoke casually, seemingly just making a casual inquiry.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man’s expression relaxed somewhat, but he promptly responded without any delay:
“It appears that it’s your first visit to Beiming Island, hence your unawareness.
In other regions of Beiming Island it’s manageable, but this area is already under the Great Unbreakable Formations of the Minor Extreme Palace.
The formation uses a well-known rare treasure from the realm of immortal cultivators called the ‘Mirage Stone’ as its formation eye, which randomly misleads the spiritual sense of cultivators from their actual positions.
Those who are unaware and follow their spiritual sense might never find the Minor Extreme Palace.
As for us, we purchased an Origin Setting Plaque at the city market at the entrance of Beiming Island in advance.
As long as we follow the directions pointed out by this artifact, we will not lose our way.”
“Origin Setting Plaque!” The blue figure seemed startled.
“Yes, this item.
Although it’s not a particularly rare artifact, one must be of good standing and have guarantees to be able to purchase it from the Minor Extreme Palace’s shops.
Only thirty are sold each year, and the artifact’s effect expires after one year.
To be cautious, I bought two at once, and I offer this one to you.
I hope you will kindly accept it,” the middle-aged man with a slight flicker in his eyes suddenly flung his sleeve, and a pale yellow disk slipped out, which he then presented with both hands.
The blue figure stroked his chin, chuckled ‘hehe’, and then unceremoniously reached down into the void.
With a flash of yellow light, the Origin Setting Plaque was drawn into his hands.
The blue figure was naturally Han Li who, after half a month’s journey, had finally arrived at Beiming Iceland.
He originally thought that with his divine abilities, he could easily pass through this region restricted by air prohibition and directly reach the Minor Extreme Palace.
However, he did not expect that upon flying into this area, his spiritual sense would repeatedly err, and he momentarily couldn’t find the location of the Minor Extreme Palace.
This made him stiffen and somewhat frustrated.
Since his purpose was to find someone, otherwise, breaking through this restriction with his divine abilities was not impossible.
Just as Han Li was considering another method, he happened to encounter this group of people.
