"Great! Where are we going now?"

Yu Yunyi looked around, watching the heavy snowflakes drift down, furrowing her willow-like eyebrows as she consulted Li Yunjing for his opinion.

The group listened to Yu Yunyi’s words, looking around in confusion.

The surrounding mountains were covered in thick snow, resembling a winding white dragon.

The icy mountain they stood on soared into the clouds, standing tall between heaven and earth. Its surface shimmered with a crystal-clear blue light, exuding a chilling coldness.

Apart from the cold ice and white snow, there was nothing else.

For a moment, the world seemed vast and empty, and no one knew where to go.

"Damn it! Where do we go in this blinding whiteness?"

Fu Chao rubbed his frostbitten red hands, unable to hold back his question: "And where are the legendary heavenly materials and earthly treasures?"

"Hold on, let me calculate!"

Li Yunjing felt helpless and could only ask everyone to quiet down. He planned to use the "Shenxiao Divine Forging Celestial Secret Technique" to deduce which direction would bring him great fortune!

Upon hearing Li Yunjing’s words, the group immediately quieted down, positioning themselves in a triadic formation nearby to protect his safety.

Li Yunjing slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, casting aside all the noise and cold, fully immersing himself in the calculations of the "Shenxiao Divine Forging Celestial Secret Technique."

Li Yunjing channeled the mana within his body, seeking a state of "Unity of Heaven and Man," his divine soul trembling slightly.

In his sea of consciousness, a scene of primordial chaos gradually emerged.

Within the chaos, the contours of heaven and earth took shape, including mountains and rivers, the sun, moon, and stars.

Gradually, the palace of the "Celestial Ruins Secret Realm" and the surrounding scenes emerged one by one.

Finally, the snowy mountain appeared!

At this time, Li Yunjing’s forehead was covered in fine sweat, and his body trembled slightly, clearly under immense pressure.

The "Celestial Profound Compass" appeared in Li Yunjing’s hand, buzzing and whirring as it spun, its needle unable to pinpoint a definite direction.

However, the northwest direction was discerned by the "Celestial Profound Compass," with the needle clearly pointing that way.

The northwest direction was far from enough!

How could such a broad direction pinpoint the location of opportunity?

Li Yunjing gritted his teeth, his will unwavering, continuing to delve deeper into the deduction.

Within the sea of consciousness, in the "Celestial Ruins Secret Realm" scene, countless runes flashed and danced, interweaving to piece together clues about the location of the treasure.

"Ding ding ding..."

The "Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Celestial Secret Pendant" vibrated, colliding with itself, producing a crisp sound.

The power of Yin and Yang merged into Li Yunjing’s divine body, his spirit rejuvenated once more.

Li Yunjing’s divine thought became more active, his wisdom greatly enhanced, as fragments of time appeared within his sea of consciousness.

His brain carefully discerned the information contained within each fragment.

Half an hour later, a blurry image gradually became clear.

In the image, a snow-covered valley appeared faintly, deep within which emitted a faint glow, containing an endless amount of mysterious energy.

This was highly likely to be the hiding place of the second-level treasure.

Opening his eyes slowly, Li Yunjing’s eyes flashed with a trace of exhaustion, but more so with excitement. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"I found it. The treasure should be in a snow-covered valley."

Li Yunjing looked at Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao with a smile.

"Really?"

Fu Chao’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Old Li, you’re incredible! Come on, let’s hurry over there."

Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi also looked pleasantly surprised, nodding in agreement.

"Let’s go! Follow me!"

With the "Celestial Profound Compass" in hand, Li Yunjing relied on the memory from his sea of consciousness, using the needle to determine the direction, and led the three towards the direction of the valley.

Along the way, the cold wind howled, and the snow flew fiercely. Having witnessed the previous tragic events, none of them dared to fly; they had no choice but to proceed on foot.

Fortunately, their cultivation was high, and even in the harsh, sub-zero temperature of several hundred degrees on the icy mountain, they had no issues.

As they climbed over another peak, a narrow valley appeared before them.

The mountain walls on either side of the valley were covered in snow, like crystalline crystal.

A faint mist filled the valley, resembling an ice coffin without a lid, resting in the snowy world.

"Is this the place?"

Lv Ruoxi asked curiously.

"Pretty much! It must be! My ’Celestial Secret Technique’ and ’Celestial Profound Compass’ both point here!"

Li Yunjing nodded, confirming.

The four of them leaped down, heading towards the valley below.

Just as they were about to enter the valley, a sharp whistling sound came from above, and a giant ice bird shot out from the snowy mist.

This ice bird was crystal clear, its wings sparkling with sharp ice crystals, its blood-red eyes emitting a chilling killing intent.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

The ice bird opened its giant mouth, shooting ice cones towards Li Yunjing and the others.

"This ice bird seems to be part of the trial, everyone be careful!"

Li Yunjing reacted quickly, wielding the "Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword," slicing the incoming ice cones to pieces with sword qi.

"Attack!"

Having entered this place, Fu Chao, Yu Yunyi, and Lv Ruoxi showed no signs of fear.

Here, no Golden Core Realm level demon beasts or "puppet mechanism beasts" would appear, so with all three being true disciples and prodigies, what was there to fear in a joint effort?

The three unleashed their respective magic, attacking the ice bird from different directions.

Seeing this, Li Yunjing paused his actions. This was a perfect opportunity for training; there was no need for him to resolve every danger.

This was for the good of Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao, allowing them to grow under pressure!

Having this thought, Li Yunjing ignored the rest and continued heading towards the valley, leaving the three to continue battling the ice bird in mid-air.
