“In that case, wouldn’t I be able to easily overcome the tenth level Primordial Tribulation Fire? There’s no need to worry about dying because of it?” Li Qing thought to himself.

“It’s a pity that my basic cultivation hasn’t improved. I still need time to slowly accumulate it!”

Li Qing had only entered the second level of the Void Realm for a few years. His cultivation had yet to reach its peak, and his body was temporarily not in a perfect state. In this way, he would not be able to activate the Primordial Tribulation Fire and burn his body.

After the Void Realm experts were burned by the Primordial Spirit Tribulation Flame, their bodies and souls would undergo a transformation, allowing their strength to rise to a higher level. This was the reward of heaven and earth for them to survive the tribulation.

To activate the Primordial Spirit Tribulation Fire, it was not something that could be accomplished casually. It required one’s cultivation state to reach perfection at this stage!

Right now, Li Qing’s cultivation was not perfect, causing him to be unable to cross the tribulation flames. Otherwise, without any restrictions on his cultivation, he felt that he could cross all the way to the tenth level of the Void Realm.

Outside the door, she saw Liu Ke’er sitting on a stone stool. When she heard the sound, she turned her head in surprise and asked, “Did you succeed in cultivating?”

“Success, right? How effective is it? By the way, how long have I been cultivating?” Li Qing asked.

“Not long, it’s only been three months.” Liu Ke’er rolled her eyes.

“What? Three months have passed so quickly? I don’t think so.” Li Qing was shocked.

“You are immersed in cultivation. Of course, you will not be able to sense the passage of time.” Liu Ke’er said unhappily.

“I’m really sorry to have made you stay here for such a long time.” Li Qing said apologetically.

“Actually, it’s nothing much. A martial artist’s path of cultivation should be able to endure loneliness. Don’t be distracted because of me! The days ahead are still long. There will definitely be many more such situations. I can’t delay your retreat.” Liu Ke’er smiled.

“Don’t worry, I will compensate you well in the next few days.” Li Qing gently hugged Liu Ke’er in his arms.

“Then how are you going to compensate me?” Liu Ke’er’s face suddenly turned red.

Li Qing lowered his head. Seeing her shy appearance, which was about to bloom and refuse, he couldn’t help but reveal a vulgar smile, “Hehe hehe…”

…

Half a year later.

Due to the expansion of his divine sense, it had already reached a range of a hundred kilometers, so Li Qing’s search speed became much faster.

During this period of time, he had already penetrated ten thousand kilometers away from the Northern Ice Plains. The climate was getting colder and colder. Liu Ke’er felt that she couldn’t even withstand it. She had to use Li Qing’s True Essence to protect her.

“After searching for so long, I still haven’t been able to find that stone. This is clearly looking for a needle in a haystack. Furthermore, we don’t know what that stone looks like. Even if it’s in front of us, I’m afraid we might not be able to recognize it.” Liu Ke’er said.

“We can only say that we did our best. The stones left behind by the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor after his death are still worth our efforts to search for.” Li Qing smiled and said, “Moreover, I have a faint feeling that if the Heaven Splitting Demon Stone really appears in front of me, I will definitely be able to recognize it!”

“Why do you feel this way?”

“I think that since Crown Prince Shixuan asked me to come to the vast Northern Ice Plains to search for the Heaven Splitting Demon Stone, it means that there must be a chance to find it. It’s definitely not like looking for a needle in a haystack, right?” Li Qing said.

“That’s right. Then let’s continue searching for some more time.” Liu Ke’er nodded.

“Find another year. If I can’t find it, then I can only say that I have no fate with this Heaven Splitting Demon Stone. I have to give up.” Li Qing smiled.

After walking for about a thousand miles towards the Northern Ice Plains, Li Qing and Liu Ke’er stepped onto a plateau covered by thick glaciers.

Looking around, it was all white, and there were no other colors. Beneath his feet was ice that could not be melted for ten thousand years, and it was incredibly hard.

Li Qing unleashed his divine sense. At this moment, his heart suddenly stirred, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

“What’s the matter?” Liu Ke’er asked.

Li Qing took out an item from his interspatial ring. At this moment, it was emitting a faint green light, slowly beating.

“What is this?” Liu Ke’er asked curiously.

“Demon Ancestor Tree Heart! After arriving here, it suddenly reacted!” Li Qing said.

“Yi, something’s wrong!”

Li Qing’s expression changed as he took out another item from his interspatial ring. It was the Bodhi Pearl!

At this moment, this string of Bodhi Pearls began to emit light, even brighter than the heart of the Demon Ancestor Tree!

“What happened? Why did something like this happen?” Liu Ke’er was puzzled.

“This Demon Ancestor Tree Heart, as well as this string of Bodhi Pearls, faintly formed a call with something beneath this glacier.” Li Qing’s expression was slightly excited. “If what I expected is correct, then the thing that corresponds to the thing in my hand should be the Heaven Splitting Demon Stone!”

Liu Ke’er asked, “Why does the Heaven Splitting Demon Stone correspond to the Demon Ancestor Tree Heart and Bodhi Pearl from afar?”

“This Demon Ancestor Tree Heart is a treasure left behind by the Demon Ancestor Tree after its death. It has a special effect and can give birth to all demons. It is the source of many demonic beasts in the world. It is not surprising that it can sense the Heaven Splitting Demon Stone.”

“As for this string of Bodhi Pearls, if what I expected is correct, the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor obtained the Dao under the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Although he possessed the body of a demonic beast, he did so in the way of a human.”

“Because of this, the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor and the Bodhi Ancient Tree have an inseparable connection, so this string of Bodhi Pearls corresponds to it.”

‘”I think Crown Prince Shixuan must have seen me obtain the Demon Ancestor Tree Heart on the first floor of the Ancient God Tower. That’s why he begged me to help him find the stones left behind by Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor. He clearly knew that there would be a resonance between these two objects. As for the Bodhi Pearl, I only obtained it later, so it was really unexpected that it would produce a reaction.”

Only then did Liu Ke’er understand, “I see!”

“According to the Bodhi Pearl and the Demon Ancestor Tree Heart’s senses, the remains of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor should be located beneath this 10,000-year-old glacier. We must break through the layers of ice and go below.”

“This layer of ice is so hard that it won’t melt for ten thousand years. If you want to break it, it will take a lot of effort.” Liu Ke’er said.

“This may be a very troublesome matter for others, but it’s not a problem for me at all.” Li Qing took out his Heavenly Saber and directly slashed at the ice layer beneath his feet, instantly splitting open a huge crack.

“Let’s go, let’s go down!” Li Qing pulled Liu Ke’er up and flew down the avoided glacier crack.

Every time he reached the bottom of the crack, Li Qing would hack out a knife and cut out another path, continuing to fly down.

If Li Qing kept going back and forth, he would discover a huge space underground after diving down the glacier for about a thousand feet.

A very large underground space!

“Why is there such a huge underground space here? How strange!” Liu Ke’er was a little surprised.

“According to the senses of the Demon Ancestor Tree Heart and the Bodhi Pearl, the location of the Heaven Splitting Demon Stone should be in this gigantic underground space!” Li Qing’s expression was solemn.

“Is there any danger here?”

“I’m not sure. I feel that this underground space seems to have an extraordinary aura. It’s unfathomable!” Li Qing used his divine sense to probe into the darkness, but in the end, he couldn’t find anything special, not even a single creature.

There was a deathly silence inside, and life was extinct. In such an environment, it was impossible for any creature to survive.

If there really was a creature here, then it was certain that it was a very powerful existence and definitely not an ordinary creature.

Li Qing’s divine sense had already reached a range of a hundred kilometers. Logically speaking, such a wide range should be enough to clearly scan the dangers in this underground space.

However, after several times of investigation, Li Qing did not discover the source of the dangerous aura and where it came from.

“Very strange, really very strange. I have an ominous premonition that there is something very terrifying inside!” Li Qing said.

“Then why can’t I find that terrifying thing?” Liu Ke’er asked.

“I don’t understand either. What’s wrong?” Li Qing took a deep breath. He knew that there was nothing wrong with his premonition. There was definitely something extremely terrifying hidden inside, but even Li Qing’s divine sense could not be scanned out.

His premonition was already very accurate. With the completion of the Immortal Primordial Spirit, his ability to predict danger became more and more prominent.

Previously, he had felt that something was wrong in Ice Dragon City, so he could discover the enemy’s ambush. Such a successful experience naturally made Li Qing believe it.

The current situation was the same, but it seemed that the terrifying thing was even more concealed, and no matter how hard he tried to probe, he could not find any traces of it.

“Then what should we do now?” Liu Ke’er asked.

“I’ll take you into Yin-yang Chaos Bottle. This place is too dangerous, just in case.” Li Qing said.

Liu Ke’er also knew that her strength had been dragged back, so she did not force it and was accepted into the Yin-yang Chaos Bottle by Li Qing.

In the entire space, Li Qing was the only one standing there. In front of him was darkness, cold and deathly silent, and his life was extinct.

“The first thing I can confirm is that the terrifying things hidden in this underground space shouldn’t be my enemies. It’s impossible for them to know that I will come to this place, let alone set up an ambush here.”

“Therefore, I can conclude that the terrifying thing here is only that it exists in the underground space itself, and it will not deliberately target me.”

“The reason I’m here is to find the Heaven Splitting Demon Stone, and I won’t deliberately target it. Therefore, there may not necessarily be an intersection between us.”

“As long as I conceal my body and leave immediately before that terrifying thing finds me, there shouldn’t be any danger, right?”

Thinking of this, Li Qing turned into a faint shadow and disappeared into the darkness.
