The white-haired old man entered the ice hall tremblingly. Li Muran smiled slightly when he saw this and signaled him to sit down.≧

The old man hurriedly said, "There is no seat for the junior in front of the senior. Just stand and answer your senior's questions."

Li Muran nodded faintly: "Let me first talk about where this place is and what are the great powers of cultivating immortals."

The old man said: "The Hanning Continent is covered with white areas. It is generally difficult to distinguish the directions and find special landmarks. In ancient times, experts spent hundreds of years traveling around the Hanning Continent and cut the Hanning Continent into nine layers, so there are 9981 areas in total. Later generations used the names of each district to mark the location of their tribe. For example, this place is District 79, located in the southeast corner of the Hanning Continent."

As he said that, the old man took out a transparent ice jade from his arms and handed it to Li Muran.

Li Muran took the ice jade, swept his mind and found that it was a jade slip that had been entered into the topographic map. The Hanning Continent indeed produced ice-attribute treasures, and even the jade talisman was refined from ice jade.

"This is a simple topographic map of the Hanning Continent, with locations of each district marked on it." The old man said.

"Very good!" Li Muran praised: "This method of dividing regions is simple and clear, you can tell at a glance."

The old man said again: "The Seventy-Nine Zone is an area where the demon clan gathers, mainly demon cultivators. However, this clan is not the most powerful demon clan in the area, the most powerful one is the Snow Ape clan. It is said that there is a Mahayana demon ancestor in the Snow Ape clan, and there are many seniors such as demon kings in the Spiritual Body Stage. However, the juniors' cultivation status do not have the opportunity to pay a visit to such a high-level demon cultivator."

Li Muran asked some questions again. After all, this old man's cultivation is too low. He is not clear about many things related to high-level monks. He answered some hearsays, which are not very valuable to Li Muran.

"It seems that I'll go to the Snow Ape Clan when I'm waiting!" Li Muran said to Xiao Lei and Feng Ming.

The two girls naturally had no objection. Li Muran asked the location of the Snow Ape Clan clearly, threw down a few high-level spirit stones, and flew away from here.

After watching Li Muran and the other three leave, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had walked in front of the Ghost Gate. A cultivator like him was difficult to get to the masters of the Mahayana stage. Once he came into contact with him, he would probably be so scared. After all, for such a master, his life was like a mustard of grass and ant, and could be destroyed at will.

Not long after, Li Muran and others came to the neighborhood of the Snow Ape Clan. Considering that the Snow Ape Clan had a demon ancestor in the Mahayana period and might have seen through the identities of Xiao Lei and Feng Ming, Li Muran asked them to temporarily enter the Langhuan Cave Heaven. He himself wore a cloak and entered the city of the Snow Ape Clan alone.

This city is built on a towering ice peak. The ice peak has a huge range. The entire city is built along the mountain. The buildings at the foot of the mountain are very dense, and the more you go up, the more sparse it becomes. As for the vitality of heaven and earth, the more pure it goes up. So Li Muran can easily guess that he must be a demon cultivator with a higher status, and the higher the location of his cave.

Li Muran flew straight to the top of the snow peak. He was about to fall, but he found that there was a faint cold light on the top of the snow peak. This layer of cold light seemed inconspicuous and actually had strong defensive magical powers. If Li Muran had not spent some mana, it would be difficult to break it.

Li Muran did not take action immediately. He came to inquire about some things. He was just a newcomer and there was no need to offend the owner here.

"I'm at Xia Muli, I'm asking to see fellow Taoist Yuan." Li Muran said loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten lights flew out of the snow peak and came forward.

These are all demon cultivators in the late stage of the Spiritual Body. They all have strong hair, but they are all white and long hair. Apart from this, there is no difference from ordinary human monks.

Li Muran did not hide his aura, but these demon cultivators could not see the depth of his cultivation. They only felt that his aura was not powerful, but it was unfathomable. However, since this person dared to call the demon ancestor "fellow Taoist" in front of the demon ancestor's cave, he was probably a figure in the Mahayana stage!

One of the demon cultivators gave a respectful salute and said, "Senior, unfortunately, the ancestor has left the cave and is wandering around."

"Not here?" Li Muran frowned.

The demon cultivator asked again: "What are the important things for seniors? Is it convenient to leave a message? I'll pass on the ancestor immediately."

Li Muran shook his head: "No need. Since Fellow Daoist Yuan is not here, go and meet other fellow Taoists! I wonder if there are other Mahayana demon cultivators nearby?"

The few treasures that Li Muran was looking for were all top-level ice-attribute treasures, which were only available to Mahayana monks. Moreover, the transactions between Mahayana monks, whether in the timing or location of the time, these spiritual body-attribute demon cultivators are difficult to know, so Li Muran must find a Mahayana monk here to find the information he needs from the other party.

"This..." The demon cultivator was stunned when he heard this and did not immediately answer Li Muran's question.

"Is this question difficult to answer?" Li Muran said: "My fellow Taoists just need to tell the specific locations of the major forces nearby."

The demon cultivator stammered and said, "It's not difficult to tell me, but if you go, you will probably be in a waste."

"Why is this?" Li Muran said strangely, "Are the nearby Mahayana monks are not in charge of their respective tribes?"

Generally speaking, after reaching the Mahayana state, they will occupy one or even multiple excellent cultivation holy places, and then establish their own power and stay in it. They can practice with peace of mind, and collect some daily necessary treasures through tribe members or disciples. Although Mahayana monks occasionally go out for a long time, they cannot wander around for a long time - unless they are like Li Muran, who are running around to find some treasures, and there are strong enemies looking for his whereabouts, so they cannot settle down.

The demon cultivator said, "Not this. The ancestor is also in charge of the clan. However, a major incident happened in District 37 not long ago, and it was a big deal. For some reason, almost all the high-level monks on the Hanning Continent rushed to District 37."

"This is actually happening!" Li Muran's heart moved. If all the high-level monks went to the same place, there would probably be some treasures there, and there would be no danger.

A young demon cultivator took the opportunity to say, "I heard some news that there was a great opportunity to come, so all the Mahayana predecessors rushed there. Unfortunately, we are not able to cultivate enough and have ordinary qualifications, so we are not qualified to follow the ancestors to go there. The seniors are also Mahayana cultivators. If the seniors take the juniors there, I will be grateful and can guide the direction for the seniors all the way."

Another demon cultivator also immediately said: "I have traveled to many places in the Hanning Continent and are quite familiar with District 37. If the seniors are willing to take the seniors with them, they will try their best to provide many conveniences for the seniors."

Li Muran was stunned. Before he could answer, several demon cultivators rushed to express their opinions, willing to follow him to District 37.

"Since you know the location, why don't you go?" Li Muran asked curiously: "Is there sealed there?"

"It's not like that," said the young demon cultivator: "The opportunity came from heaven, and it seemed that the major forces were afraid that too many monks would pour in, so they reached an agreement with each other to limit the number of monks going there. A few days ago, when the ancestor left his clan, he only selected ten clan members to accompany him. All of them were descendants of the ancestor's direct descendants, or monks who were recognized as the best qualifications in the clan. The juniors and others had mediocre qualifications and missed the opportunity! As for those small and medium-sized forces that did not have the Mahayana monks to take charge, they were not qualified to enjoy this opportunity at all."

"So that's it!" Li Muran smiled slightly and said, "You guys don't recognize Mu, nor do you know Mu's character, so why dare to walk with Mu?"

The young demon cultivator said, "Senior Mu is the friend of the ancestor and our elders. What's more, it is not difficult for the strength of the previous generation to kill us and younger generations. There is a chance in the 37th zone. If the senior does not look for opportunities, but is in a dilemma with the younger generations whom we have never met, it is really unreasonable."

Li Muran nodded slightly, after he pondered for a moment, he said, "Okay, I will take you guys with me."

Li Muran selected three of the volunteer monks and took them away from the Snow Ape Clan, while the other monks were envious.

In order to arrive in Area 37 the day earlier, Li Muran took out a few instant talismans and stimulated them one by one. He quickly arrived in Area 37 with these demon cultivators.

As expected, this place became extremely lively. Along the way, Li Muran and others saw a lot of escape lights coming from all directions. The demon cultivators said that they must have received the news and rushed to the treasure land of District 37.

Following the direction of the flying crowd, Li Muran and others came to an ice field at night. This place was originally a desolate ice field, but at this time tens of thousands of monks gathered here.

And at the center surrounded by everyone, there was a huge formation. The range of the formation was very wide. From a distance, I could only see cold lights rushing straight into the sky, connecting the sky and the earth, and I could not see the end of the formation.

Li Muran took a look and found that this was a brilliant forbidden formation, used to confine the vast space, but probably because it was arranged in a hurry. The power of this forbidden state is not strong. If a cultivator in the spiritual body stage attacks for a while, he can break through and enter, and it is not worth mentioning to him.

However, a large number of monks gathered near the formation, including many monks of various tribes of the spiritual body stage, but no one dared to enter the formation.

There seemed to be monks guarding the formation near the formation, and there were other monks who argued with him. Although the distance was still far, after Li Muran let go of his divine thoughts and inquire, he listened clearly to their conversation.

"...The opportunity comes from heaven, everyone has a share, why don't I wait in! Why do you need to set this place as a forbidden place!"

"This is a temporary decision discussed by all the Mahayana predecessors. You can just wait for you to break in! But don't blame me for not reminding you that those Mahayana predecessors have already said that. If you break in without authorization, you may be killed at any time after encountering those Mahayana predecessors in the forbidden area!"

...

"It seems that there is really a chance to come from heaven!" Li Muran became more and more curious. He slightly mobilized a stream of vitality and spread around him. Suddenly, there was an amazing invisible fluctuation, impacting the surroundings. The nearby monks could naturally sense it and dodge them one after another.

As a result, the nearby monks immediately realized that a master from the Mahayana stage came and dodged to both sides.

"Can I enter the forbidden area?" Li Muran flew to the vicinity of the magic circle and asked the hundreds of guards guarding here.

A guard leader immediately came out and said respectfully: "Senior is a master of the Mahayana stage, so he is naturally qualified to enter it. However, I wonder if he is a cultivator from Han Ning Continent? The senior refused to show up in his true face, and the juniors could not recognize his identity."

Several demon cultivators of the Snow Ape Clan behind Li Muran immediately said: "This Senior Mu is a friend of the ancestor of this clan. He was specially invited to come. He also asked fellow Taoists from the Bingling Clan not to make things difficult for him."

"Yes!" The guard leader nodded: "Since he is a senior master of the Mahayana stage, he is naturally qualified to enter. According to the rules temporarily set by the forbidden area, the senior can bring up to five spiritual cultivators into it."

"Five? Not ten?" Li Muran was stunned.

"Because there are already many monks entering it, the rules have been changed temporarily. Please forgive me for yourselves!" The guard leader said without being humble or arrogant.

"Okay!" Li Muran nodded: "Five are enough!"

The guard leader ordered the guards to separate, revealing an empty space, but they did not intend to open the formation passage.

"Please enter it by yourself. You don't have a magic plate to open the channel." The guard leader explained.

Li Muran smiled slightly. For real Mahayana cultivators, this formation restriction is indeed nothing, and it is also an invisible test.

"You three follow me!" Li Muran said to the three demon cultivators behind him.

"Yes!" The three demon cultivators were overjoyed.

Li Muran flew to the formation cold light, stretched out his palm, and pressed it on the cold light curtain.

Suddenly, he felt a cold feeling pouring into his body along his palms, his whole body covered in coldness.

"The monks from Xue Ning Continent are indeed proficient in ice-attributed martial arts. Even this space restriction has such strong ice-cold power." Li Muran said in his heart.

He secretly used his martial arts, and his palm passed by the light curtain. Wherever he passed, the cold light disappeared and turned into a black hole.

"Get in!" Li Muran was the first to sank into the black hole. The three demon cultivators were stunned. Although they had already expected that this restriction would not prevent the masters of the Mahayana stage, this senior Mu actually penetrated into it with such a light weight. They were also shocked.

The three demon cultivators immediately entered one after another and penetrated into the black hole. After they entered, the black hole immediately disappeared, and the original cold light curtain appeared again, as if nothing had happened.

The nearby guards were also shocked. Although they had seen many Mahayana monks using their supernatural powers to enter the forbidden area in the past few days, there were still a few who entered like this understatement.

"Another master!" The guard leader murmured: "The demon ancestor of the Snow Ape Clan is only in the early stage of Mahayana, with ordinary strength, and he actually met such a powerful master!"

After Li Muran and several demon cultivators entered the forbidden area, they looked around and saw that the ice field was still there. Under the night, there was a vast white area, with only a layer of bleak moonlight, but there were some hazy outlines of ice peaks and ice valleys in the distance.

"What is the chance?" Li Muran asked curiously.

"This junior is not very clear! However, since so many masters are rushing to enter here to find opportunities, it must be worth the money!" The young demon cultivator replied.

"Let's go and inquire!" Li Muran swept his mind and sensed some breathing activities not far away, including a powerful breath. He should be a Mahayana cultivator.

"Mu has taken you here as agreed. Whether you can get the opportunity depends on your own luck!" Li Muran said to the three demon cultivators: "You can go find opportunities each. But Mu reminds you that there are many high-level monks here. If you see the opportunity is not good, you should escape immediately. Don't be able to find the opportunity, and you will lose your life instead!"

"Yes, yes, thank you for bringing us here for bringing us here!" The three demon cultivators saluted respectfully and then flew to somewhere together. They were obviously going to meet with other Snow Ape Clan monks in order to seek shelter.

Li Muran flashed, turned into a ray of escape light, and flew towards a powerful aura in the distance.

After a while, Li Muran discovered seven or eight monks, one of whom was a monk in the early stage of Mahayana, and they were also human monks.

These monks were casting spells, as if they were catching something, but Li Muran did not find out clearly.

After flying closer, Li Muran could already see the actions of the monks. They did keep tossing in the air and burst out cold ice walls, but Li Muran did not see what treasure they were trying to capture.

After flying closer, Li Muran discovered that there was a special ball of vitality in the air. The vitality was completely transparent, with only a layer of cold air covering it, so there were some figures in a vague way. Li Muran tried to use his divine thoughts to detect what this puppet was, but his divine thoughts actually penetrated the puppet directly and could not detect anything.

"What the hell is it?" Li Muran was surprised. At this moment, the energy was surrounded by several nearby monks and suddenly broke through the blockade of several ice walls and rushed towards the high altitude.

Li Muran's heart moved, his figure flashed, and a dark night flashed with magical powers, and immediately teleported here.

He opened his five fingers and grabbed the ball of vital energy in the air. An extremely powerful invisible force immediately appeared, completely sealing the surrounding space.
