All of this happens mysteriously, unbeknownst to Xia Liu.

Because the roulette is within Xia Liu's Sea of Consciousness.

Even Bai Jue cannot peer into it.

"Elder Bai, after spending several months, crossing multiple Capital Counties, when will this journey end?"

Heading south, Xia Liu's white hair nearly appeared.

Yet Bai Jue still directed him in this direction.

Could Bai Jue wish him to traverse the Northern Realm to the Southern Realm as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?

This is almost impossible, as the Northern Realm and Southern Realm are separated by a vast distance, and no cultivator has been known to cross it using a Flying Dharma Treasure.

Because of the Ruishui River that separates the two realms, there.

No Flying Dharma Treasure is effective, stronger than any High-Strength No-Fly Formation.

And no one has measured the capacity of the Ruishui River.

Xia Liu has learned some, believing the Ruishui River in that domain is wider than the vast sea.

"Your goal is indeed to reach the Southern Realm, but not now."

Bai Jue finally spoke.

Xia Liu must go to the Southern Realm, firstly, because he carries the Taiqing Sword, the foremost of the four Spiritual Artifacts.

He has an inextricable fate with the Shangqing Sect.

The inheritance left by Sage Taiqing is only his to receive.

Moreover, Xia Liu also cultivates Prajna Holy Energy.

Though currently weak, he is already connected to the Great Brahma Gate in the Southern Realm.

To enhance this power, he must go to the Great Brahma Gate.

All of these, if used well, will be Xia Liu's fortune.

But if even slightly lacking, it could become his calamity.

"Then what's the purpose of heading south?"

"Do you remember the Secret Realm I promised you?"

"Is it where the ancestor of the Fan Family went, then afflicted by Extreme Cold Poison?"

Xia Liu suddenly recalls, at the time in the Fan Family, he had resolved the Cold Poison for Fan Dexing.

And learned about that Secret Realm.

The Extreme Cold Secret Realm, rumored that Foundation Establishment Cultivators could gain opportunities for Core Formation!

"That's right, the Extreme Cold Secret Realm!"

Bai Jue did not deny it, he is exactly planning to take Xia Liu to the Extreme Cold Secret Realm this time.

"What kind of opportunities are in this Extreme Cold Secret Realm?"

"I once ventured to the Extreme Cold Secret Realm, but did not go deep. Though in a place in the Central Continent, I saw information indicating the Northern Realm's Extreme Cold Secret Realm might hold the Thunder Region."

Said Bai Jue promptly.

"Thunder Region? What's that?"

Xia Liu was puzzled, could the Thunder Region contain Spiritual Objects, enabling direct breakthrough to Golden Core?

"Thunder Region isn't a thing, but a domain filled with thunderstorms."

"Could Elder Bai want me to master the Thunder Control Technique in the Thunder Region?"

Xia Liu thought of the Thunder Control Technique and mentioned his doubt immediately.

"Yes and no, within the Extreme Cold Secret Realm there are numerous Natural Treasures Groups, among which is the Extreme Cold Flame; if you can devour the Heaven and Earth Extreme Cold Flame, your Energy Body might directly reach the Foundation Establishment Late Stage."

"Indeed, in the past, Fan Dexing wanted to capture the Extreme Cold Flame, but didn't succeed, leaving behind Cold Poison."

Xia Liu glanced at his little finger.

Despite being compressed, the internal Cold Poison could, at a critical moment, render Golden Pill Stage Cultivators miserable, even losing combat ability.

"Have you carefully examined the Thunder Control Technique I taught you?"

Bai Jue's question caught Xia Liu off guard.

How could he not have examined it?

Otherwise, how has he refined it to the third step?

"Elder Bai's words carry deeper meaning, please guide me further."

"Isn't there a section on the Thunder God Body within Thunder Control Technique?"

"Right, right! I remember, the Thunder God Body!"

Upon being prompted, Xia Liu immediately recalled.

The peak of the Thunder God Body enables one to shatter Golden Core with sheer physical strength!

Even Nascent Soul!

But it's extremely difficult to cultivate the Thunder God Body to its peak.

So difficult, Xia Liu has no confidence, otherwise, he wouldn't have forgotten this Body Refinement technique within the Thunder Control Technique.

"The Thunder Region may allow your Thunder God Body to reach Minor Achievement!"

"Does Minor Achievement Thunder God Body sound terrifying?"

Xia Liu wondered. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"A Thunder God Body at Minor Achievement can withstand the attacks of Golden Pill Early-Stage Cultivators with pure physical strength, its physical strength comparable to Spiritual Artifacts!"

"Doesn't that mean a Thunder God Body at Minor Achievement can punch through a Golden Pill Early-Stage Cultivator?"

Xia Liu's mood started growing excited.

The Thunder God Body is terrifying!

"Indeed, if you refine the Thunder God Body to its peak, even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators can have their physical body shattered with a single punch!"

"This is thrilling! Elder Bai, quickly take me to the Thunder Region!"

Xia Liu couldn't sit still anymore.

Shattering a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator's physical body!

Relying purely on physical strength.

It's simply terrifying!

"Take it slow, you're not suited for excessive excitement right now. Cultivation requires a peaceful Heart State, patience is key."

Bai Jue, having observed the growth of countless cultivators.

For many reasons, he hasn't mentioned certain things to Xia Liu, fearing it would disturb his Heart State.

"Haha, I understand now. Thank you, Elder Bai, for the reminder."

Xia Liu nodded, took a deep breath, and suppressed his restless Heart State.

"Well done, your level of control is excellent, the path to strength is now assured."

"All thanks to Elder Bai's guidance."

Xia Liu rubbed his chin, smiled wryly.

"Alright then, in another month, you should be nearing the Extreme Cold Secret Realm. Adjust along the way."

"Understood!"

At this moment, Xia Liu was entirely a different mindset than before.

The impatience was gone.

Replaced by anticipation for the future.

After twenty days, Xia Liu arrives at Baichuan Realm.

It's a very complex domain.

No ranks, no divisions.

Countless factions, numerous sects, innumerable cultivators seeking treasures.

Due to the existence of the Extreme Cold Secret Realm, Baichuan Realm is very lively.

Before reaching the Extreme Cold Secret Realm, there's a city of moderate size.

Han City.

Here snow bleaches year-round, without the clear blue sky, without the brilliant sun.

Just endless white snow.

Standing before Han City, Xia Liu reached out to catch the fine snow.

"Purchase some supplies in the city, then enter the Extreme Cold Secret Realm!"

Reflecting in Xia Liu's eyes, towering peaks without visible tops stood.

Beyond the majestic snowy mountains is the Extreme Cold Secret Realm.

There is no sun or moon, only a white expanse.

There is no night, from ancient times till now, only day, only snow.

Approaching the Extreme Cold Secret Realm, even cultivators feel a chill.

This chill can freeze the cultivator's body and soul.

Thus on Han City's streets, Xia Liu saw many cultivators wearing thick coats.

Appearing bulky.

Xia Liu was indifferent to this.

His body contains Heavenly Gang Holy Fire, coupled with the Power of Righteous Law.

Even venturing into the Extreme Cold Secret Realm, he wouldn't be assailed by cold.

Entirely shrouded in a black robe, Xia Liu didn't appear too out of place.

Following Bai Jue's guidance, Xia Liu arrived at a trading house in Han City.

Here, there were many Spiritual Medicines for sale, as well as supplies for survival in the snow.

Besides, a relatively large employment shop existed.
