Chapter 121: North Border

The two characters "Forbidden Land" danced like dragons and snakes, reflecting an eerie light against the white snow.

Ye Chen's pupils slightly constricted as he whispered, "What kind of place is this? It gives such a strange feeling."

Strolling out, Ye Chen headed straight for the depths of the mountain stream.

"Hmm?"

The moment Ye Chen stepped into the mountain stream, he instantly stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowing slightly.

Not because of anything else, but because the spatial fluctuations here were extremely abnormal. There were numerous cracks in the sky, like scars, which looked terrifying.

Turning back, the vast snowy mountains had disappeared, and even the trees and sky had vanished, as if completely cut off from the outside world.

"I didn't expect it to be an independent space."

Ye Chen smiled faintly. He had traveled through the void and explored countless realms before, so these spatial fluctuations in an independent space were nothing surprising to him. Moreover, these fluctuations were far from the power of a realm, so he didn't need to worry.

However, the next moment, Ye Chen's eyes narrowed again.

On a cliff ahead, there were engraved lines of small characters.

"I wonder how cold the bright moon is, shining brightly in the world—Moon Cold Body, Inheritance Ground!"

Looking at the lines of small characters, Ye Chen's eyes deepened.

He knew how powerful body techniques could be. When cultivated to the extreme, they could dominate a region.

For example, Water Fairy's Profound Ice Divine Body, if cultivated to perfection, could dominate the realm of Immortal Martial Arts.

But body techniques were not martial skills or immortal techniques. How could they be inherited?

Even though he had been an Immortal Emperor, he had never heard of such a thing.

If body techniques could be inherited, wouldn't the ten peak Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Martial Realm be able to cultivate countless Immortal Emperors and dominate the Immortal Martial Realm?

This Moon Cold Body, Ye Chen had never heard of it before, so it shouldn't be a divine body, but it must be a body technique to be passed down, which was surprising.

With curiosity, Ye Chen continued to venture deeper, and the deeper he went, the stronger the cold became, as if it wanted to invade his body and freeze him to death. Even he had to release his true energy to resist the cold.

"This coldness completely exceeds the limit of the Snow Realm. Could there be something extremely cold here?" Ye Chen murmured, continuing to walk forward. Soon, he arrived at a broad area where it was as bright as day, but the light was tinged with a faint coldness, like the light of a cold moon.

These lights came from the stone walls on all sides, each light resembling a bright moon, exuding an extreme coldness.

"Could this Moon Cold Body be the condensation of the coldness of the moon?" Ye Chen looked at the cold light, his voice low.

Even with his knowledge, he had never heard of the Moon Cold Body. What was so special about this body technique?

He reached out his hand, wanting to touch the cold light on the stone wall.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, countless cold lights flashed, directly entering Ye Chen's body. At this moment, Ye Chen's body seemed transparent, and he could clearly see his meridians, bones, blood flowing, and organs pulsating.

At the same time, he felt impurities in his body being cleared away.

This feeling only occurred when cultivating the Starry Sky Body, indicating the extraordinary nature of this Moon Cold Body.

Ye Chen knew that this was not dangerous for him, so he relaxed his mind and accepted the cleansing power. He felt his true energy surging and rushing towards the bottleneck of martial arts.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, a cold bead emitting a strange cold light condensed from the stone wall and enveloped Ye Chen's entire body.

Bang!

With a light sound, Ye Chen broke through, stepping into the Seventh Stage of the Yuanfu Realm.

This feeling was too wonderful.

"That cold bead seems to contain complete rules and can fill the realm of a martial artist on its own!" Ye Chen looked at the cold bead in amazement, feeling the surging power emanating from it. If absorbed, it could probably open up nine Yuanfu realms and reach the peak of the Yuanfu Realm directly.

"Boom!"

Before Ye Chen could rise into the air and collect the cold bead, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly emanated from the depths of the cave, accompanied by an extremely angry roar:

"Who dares to be so bold as to snatch my Moon Cold Bead!"

A strong wind blew, and a chilling aura swept through the cave.

The next moment, a white-haired, burly old man appeared in the cave. His voice was cold, his gaze even colder, and he fixed his gaze on Ye Chen as if he wanted to freeze him to death.

"North Border?"

Ye Chen looked at the old man and suddenly understood.

He had been curious before. He had exterminated North Liang and destroyed the North Frost Palace with great momentum. If North Border was in the sect, it would be impossible not to have heard of it. Why hadn't he shown up?

But now he understood.

The Forbidden Land of the North Frost Palace was a place for the inheritance of body techniques, forming its own space and isolated from the outside world. Naturally, North Border could not sense the situation of the sect.

Perhaps in his view,

 with North Liang guarding the North Frost Palace, even if the Purple Heaven Sect and the Golden Cicada Sect joined forces to attack, nothing would happen. Therefore, he focused more on breaking through to a higher realm and did not pay attention to the outside world.

But now, someone had entered this place and even caused the Moon Cold Bead to resonate instantly, daring to snatch his cultivation power. How could he not be shocked and angry?

"Who are you, daring to trespass into the Forbidden Land?" North Border stared at Ye Chen, his icy gaze filled with killing intent.

"I am Ye Wuji." Ye Chen responded indifferently.

North Border frowned. He had been in seclusion in this place for several years, trying to break through to the Saint Martial Realm, so he naturally could not know Ye Wuji.

"What do you mean?" North Border's gaze flickered.

"Because North Liang is dead, and the North Frost Palace is destroyed." Ye Chen replied.

"What?!"

North Border exclaimed in shock.

North Liang was dead?

The North Frost Palace was destroyed?

Did something earth-shattering happen in the Nine Abyss Realm during the years he was in seclusion, and the eighteen sects went to war?

Otherwise, who could destroy the North Frost Palace?

"Kid, who are you really?" North Border locked his gaze on Ye Chen. He now believed Ye Chen's words. If North Liang was dead and the North Frost Palace was destroyed, who else would dare to intrude into the Forbidden Land?

In this place, only the successive sect masters could enter, and North Liang would never dare to let anyone in.

Ye Chen did not answer, just sneered, "I thought you were hiding somewhere, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Since that's the case, I won't bother looking for you elsewhere. I'll take care of you here and now."

North Border's pupils constricted, and he gazed at Ye Chen, his killing intent surging like waves, directly rushing towards Ye Chen.
