Chapter 2695: Yancheng

Looking at the book made from an unknown material in front of him, Jing Po was also curious. He didn’t know much about the Alien Race, but one of the Twelve Elders specialized in studying foreign cultures. So he looked at the old man in gray cloth sitting far away and asked, "Qing Chuan, come and see what this is."

Qing Chuan got up, responded respectfully, and walked to Jing Po’s side. He took the book and froze, flipping through it. Then he leaned close and whispered something in Jing Po’s ear before returning to his seat. Jing Po, hearing Qing Chuan’s words, looked thoughtfully at Lin Feng and said, "Young Friend Lin, the text in this book is indeed from the Alien Race. It’s an Alien Race chronicle, with a last page containing a testament and a map of a maze. Where did you get it?"

"I got it by chance while exploring the Southern Region sea area," Lin Feng answered truthfully. He hadn’t expected this to be an Alien Race chronicle. Unfortunately, he couldn’t understand the Alien Race text. If there’s a testament, it might have been left by a leader of the Alien Race. The ring should also be a token proving identity.

Jing Po didn’t ask much more and replied, "The Transcendence Pond is still a long distance from the Frost Highland. However, the closer you get to the Frost Highland, the more desolate it becomes, with no cities. So you must be careful, Young Friend Lin."

"Thank you, Senior, for explaining." Lin Feng smiled and said to Jing Po.

Later, everyone chatted a bit more, and after drinking to their heart’s content, Lin Feng bade farewell to Jing Po and left the Transcendence Pond. He was very grateful to Jing Po; this visit to the Transcendence Pond was very fruitful, providing Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu the chance to enhance their strength. Jing Po escorted Lin Feng and the others out of the Transcendence Pond’s red lake and then bid farewell to Lin Feng.

In the days that followed, everyone continued flying on the Aurora. The Frost Highland was really far away, and there was no stop along the way, flying for several months. In the Aurora, Lin Feng finally found time to spend with Xiao Jiu. He didn’t know much about this Demon Pet, but he found Xiao Jiu to be extremely special. Demon Beasts are categorized into combat and wisdom types, but Xiao Jiu seemed to possess both. From observations over these days, although Xiao Jiu looked like a five or six-year-old child, he knew no less than Tangyuan. Moreover, Lin Feng believed that when Xiao Jiu grew up, his strength would be incredibly formidable.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng released the Purple Thunder Transforming Sky Dragon and the Nether Thunder Heaven Devouring Tiger. He hadn’t released the two Great Demon Venerables before because he wanted them to spend more time cultivating in the space. After all, the Origin Power obtained at Shuangcheng Island still needed some digestion. However, heading towards the Frost Highland held many unknown dangers, so it’s better to keep them close.

The two appeared in human form within the Aurora. Seeing Xiao Jiu, they were startled and curiously looked at Lin Feng. They didn’t know where Lin Feng had brought out such a powerful child. They could sense the aura emanating from the child but could not feel that Xiao Jiu was a Demon Beast.

"It’s Boss’s new pet!" Tangyuan pouted to the Purple Thunder Transforming Sky Dragon and the Nether Thunder Heaven Devouring Tiger. Ever since Xiao Jiu appeared, Boss hadn’t paid much attention to him, which made him very angry.

"What new pet, it’s clearly a Spirit Pet!" Xiao Jiu, hearing Tangyuan’s words, grabbed Tangyuan into her arms and gave him a good thrashing, causing Tangyuan to let out painful cries, making everyone laugh.

The Purple Thunder Transforming Sky Dragon walked to Xiao Jiu’s side and asked Lin Feng curiously, "Boss, is he the dragon egg?"

They had previously seen that black egg. The Purple Thunder Transforming Sky Dragon could feel the strong aura of the Dragon Clan emanating from this child, which is why he asked Lin Feng this question.

Lin Feng nodded, looking at Xiao Jiu’s naive and innocent appearance. Lin Feng felt that everything was driven by fate. He should be grateful for everything he had obtained, which aligned with what Geomancer Qianjue had said about destiny. Therefore, he had a long and important journey ahead...

Time flew by, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye. As they traveled, the temperatures they felt became increasingly lower. Finally, the Aurora reached the border city near the Frost Highland, Yancheng.

On the Aurora, they could see everything ahead capped in white snow, with extremely low temperatures. The abrupt cold climate made Tao Tao and Eldest Miss Peng very uncomfortable. The boundless Frost Highland seemed like a suddenly protruding continent, stretching beyond sight. From the sky above, the city before them was situated at the junction of the Frost Highland, at the edge of the snow domain, entirely wrapped in silver frost.

Everyone jumped off the Aurora, after which Lin Feng put it away, preparing to walk into Yancheng and first understand the situation of the Frost Highland. When they got off the Aurora, Miss Peng began trembling, and Tao Tao’s face turned pale. Seeing this, Lin Feng said, "Let’s go get some clothes for them first."

The Yancheng before them, although small, was very peculiar. The hundreds-of-feet-high city walls were made entirely of massive ice blocks, and the houses within were all surrounded by ice columns. There were no tall buildings, only low houses, which was very special. The people inside the city all widened their eyes, staring at Lin Feng and the group.

It was indeed peculiar; despite the cold temperatures, Lin Feng and his companions were only wearing cloth clothes, with the two women even wearing gauze dresses. Meanwhile, the inhabitants of Yancheng were all dressed in fur coats made from Beast Skin and even wore giant leather hats. They must have thought of Lin Feng and the others as madmen.

They randomly picked a store, bought some clothes for everyone, and then Lin Feng tried to inquire about the situation from the shopkeeper. However, Lin Feng found that the people in Yancheng seemed as icy as the snow here, and not very enthusiastic. There was no choice but for Lin Feng to leave the shop and head towards a tavern to see if he could gain some insights.

The group entered a small tavern, and after sitting down, they ordered a tableful of dishes. Lin Feng discovered that although the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm was vast and populated with many people, Yancheng starkly contrasted with other cities. It was sparsely populated, with only two tables of customers in the restaurant. Given the harsh climate here, it’s understandable why people wouldn’t want to reside in such a place.

In Yancheng, hunting is the main activity, and due to the climate, there were no vegetables on the table, only meats from birds and beasts. Tangyuan looked at the table full of meat and excitedly shouted: "This is great, I just love eating meat."

Everyone bowed their heads and started eating, including the two women who managed to eat despite the cold. Without some meat, it would be really hard to endure the temperature here.

Lin Feng observed the surroundings, knowing he needed to find someone to inquire about the situation of the Alien Race. Most importantly, he wanted to know what things were like on the Alien Race’s side, and what exactly the two treasures in his possession meant to them. The ring was by no means something ordinary members of the Alien Race could possess, and being able to enter the vastly different environment of the Southern Region sea area meant this Alien must be a powerhouse with Divine Venerable strength, which made him even more curious about the Alien Race.

Glancing around, there was only one waiter in the shop, so he called the waiter over and asked: "Hey, we’re not far from the Frost Plateau, are we?"

The waiter looked at Lin Feng, his eyes shifting slightly before saying nothing. Lin Feng pulled out two Yuan Stones from his space and tossed them to the waiter, who finally responded. It seemed that the economic condition of Yancheng was really not good.

"Not far, we are just at the foot of the Frost Plateau. Just head north and you’ll be there. But customers, it’s very dangerous there, don’t say I didn’t warn you." The waiter put the Yuan Stones in his pocket and then told Lin Feng and the group.

"Can you see the Alien Race in the city?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

"Those aliens often come to Yancheng for trade. They have many good things over there, but since they don’t use them, they come here to exchange for necessities without needing money." The waiter explained to Lin Feng, which is also the main reason Yancheng is sparsely populated. Although the Alien Race doesn’t have many members, each looks extremely terrifying. Even if they don’t harm the people of Yancheng, just seeing them is enough to scare people.

After listening to the waiter’s words, Lin Feng understood. The Alien Race doesn’t have currency circulation and just brings items to Yancheng for trade. It seems the Alien Race isn’t as unruly as imagined, otherwise, they would have just robbed instead of trading. Then Lin Feng continued to ask: "Is there a City Lord Mansion in Yancheng?"

"What’s a City Lord Mansion? We are in a no-go zone here, the highest official is the Sect Master of the Yama Sect." The waiter whispered.

"Yama Sect? Haha." Ma Biaohu immediately laughed upon hearing this name, as it sounded both rustic and terrifying. It seemed that Yancheng was indeed a special existence within the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm.

Lin Feng thought for a moment, feeling that this wouldn’t work. He initially wanted to inquire from the City Lord Mansion or auctions, but it seemed like they were unnecessary thoughts. There’s only one sect, and the name suggests it’s a troublesome sect, so he didn’t want to cause more trouble and directly asked the waiter: "Is there any place here selling maps of the Frost Plateau?"

"Uh..." The waiter pondered for a while and said: "Many years ago, there used to be an old man selling maps at the end of this street. I don’t know if he’s still there now, but you can go check."

After receiving the answer, Lin Feng said to Ma Biaohu: "You guys find a place to rest later, I’ll go take a look."

Then he left the tavern with only the Purple Thunder Transforming Sky Dragon and the Nether Thunder Heaven Devouring Tiger.

Indeed, the population in Yancheng was really sparse, and there were hardly any vendors on the entire street. Such a climate would probably make it difficult to earn any money by setting up a stall outside. The three of them followed the waiter’s direction until they reached the end of the street, where a very low snow house was presented before them. The faint glow of lights flickered inside, looking like a home rather than a business place.

The Purple Thunder Transforming Sky Dragon gently pushed the door open. Upon entering, they discovered that the room wasn’t as low as it appeared from the outside; it was an entirely different space, which surprised Lin Feng. The interior was piled with books from floor to ceiling, the room in disarray, hardly any place to step. An elder in ragged clothes sat among a sea of books, as if about to be drowned by them.
