# Chapter 319: Snow Domain Fairy Palace
Yun Che searched through all the corpses, taking their space rings. The treasures carried by these high-ranking members of the Fen Tian Gate were naturally not insignificant. Yun Che reaped a generous haul. In Fen Moli's space ring, he even found a small piece of Purple Vein Heavenly Crystal.
"Since you gave me such a big gift, your death was worth it." Yun Che picked up that small piece of Purple Vein Heavenly Crystal, weighed it in his hand, and said in a low voice with a smile. But compared to the pile of Purple Vein Divine Crystals that Mo Li needed, this tiny piece was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
"I originally wanted to try out the Arcane Firmament, but I never expected there would be no chance for it to appear." Yun Che put away the Dragon Gate, looked at his hands, and muttered to himself: "My current strength should be enough to match Qingyue from sixteen months ago, right?"
Xia Qingyue from sixteen months ago was at King Xuan Realm Level 2!
The strength to easily defeat Fen Moli... Yun Che's current power was already comparable to a true Royal Throne!
"No, it should be even more than that." Mo Li said calmly. "You clearly have no idea how powerful the Dragon God's Marrow is. When you obtained six drops of Dragon God's Blood before, your strength increased dramatically. But marrow is the foundation of bone and the source of blood. With the Dragon God's Marrow within you, you will have more than just six drops of Dragon God's Blood. As it continuously generates blood, your bloodline will gradually approach that of the Dragon God's Bloodline! From now on, even if you don't cultivate at all, your strength will still increase as your bloodline sublimates. With the amount of Dragon God's Marrow that the Primordial Azure Dragon bestowed upon you, given enough time, in the limit state, your body will possess nearly ten percent of the Dragon God's Bloodline! Haven't you noticed that when you attack now, you vaguely carry the aura and might of a dragon?"
"Ten... ten percent!?" Yun Che was so shocked that he lost his voice on the spot.
Six drops of Dragon God's Blood had already caused a qualitative leap in both his body and strength. If one-tenth of the blood in his body were Dragon God's Blood, what kind of concept would that be?
In terms of bloodline, that was close to one-tenth the bloodline of a True God!!
"Hmph, that's assuming you live long enough." Mo Li said disapprovingly. "Count it yourself—in these three years, how many times have you almost died? Don't always get used to putting yourself in danger, and don't overestimate your limits. If you die, everything you've obtained so far will turn to nothing!"
"Alright... I understand." Yun Che agreed, but his expression was unconcerned.
"In the vast world, there are many inheritances left by True Gods—bloodline inheritances, profound art inheritances, treasure inheritances. But this is the first time I've seen an inheritance of marrow and soul. It seems that the Primordial Azure Dragon truly went all out for his daughter. However, if the Primordial Azure Dragon really does have a daughter still existing in the world, that would be quite interesting... Because in this world where True Gods have gone extinct, if she were to actually appear, she would be a Dragon God with a complete bloodline! The True God, extinct for countless years, would thus descend upon the world again. Who knows what kind of heavenly phenomena it would trigger... perhaps even a disruption of order!"
"If one day I really do go to the 'Realm of the Gods,' we can talk about it then. Thinking about this now is far too illusory and laughable." Yun Che's face turned cold and still. He turned to look northward and said in a low voice: "For now, I only pray that Little Fairy and our child are safe and sound. Otherwise... otherwise..."
Otherwise, Yun Che didn't know what kind of crazy things he would do.
His figure flickered, and he shattered the dust as he sped straight northward.

Three days later.
The land beneath Yun Che's feet gradually approached the extreme northern region of the Cang Feng Empire. As he advanced, the wind blowing in his face grew increasingly cold and heavy. Traces of human habitation became rarer, until no human figure could be seen in his field of vision. Even profound beasts and vegetation grew sparser and sparser.
Along the way, Yun Che asked everyone he met about the location of the Bing Yun Fairy Palace. The closer he got, the clearer the direction became. At that moment, night fell. Yun Che lit a Phoenix Flame for illumination and continued traveling under the stars. After half the night, a wave of drowsiness hit him. He casually pulled out a blanket from the Heavenly Poison Pearl, spread it on the ground, lay down, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
After midnight, dawn quietly arrived, and the sky began to lighten. Yun Che opened his eyes at that moment... A light breeze brushed past his ears. Though it was a light wind, it carried an intense chill. If not for the fact that Yun Che possessed the Evil God Water Seed, making him immune to ice and snow's bitter cold, he would have felt a piercing bone-chilling coldness.
He stood up, looking into the distance by the faint light... What lay before his eyes was a world covered in pure white snow.
"Is this... the Ice Extreme Snow Domain?"
Looking at the seemingly endless snow world ahead, Yun Che's spirits lifted. His mind, just awakened from deep sleep, instantly became clear. He quickly drank a few mouthfuls of Dragon Blood and rushed forward impatiently.
The moment he stepped into the snow zone, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, as if he had stepped directly from a blazing summer into a bitter winter without any transition. If an ordinary person came here, the sudden temperature change would be enough to freeze their body stiff instantly.
Entering the Ice Extreme Snow Domain meant he was not far from the Bing Yun Fairy Palace. The bitter cold had no effect on Yun Che at all. His figure moved like lightning, and he soon disappeared into the white world.
The Ice Extreme Snow Domain was located at the extreme north of the Cang Feng Empire, covered in snow all year round, with eternally frozen ice mountains and snow walls everywhere. The cold here was so intense that unless one experienced it personally, it was almost unimaginable, far beyond what ordinary humans could endure. Yet, such a place of extreme cold had become a sacred ground in the eyes of Cang Feng's profound practitioners because of the existence of one power. However, unlike the Tian Jian Mountain Range, which belonged entirely to Tian Jian Villa, this snow domain did not completely belong to the Bing Yun Fairy Palace. But over a thousand years, it had essentially become the exclusive territory of the Bing Yun Fairy Palace. Whenever people mentioned the Ice Extreme Snow Domain, they directly associated it with the Bing Yun Fairy Palace. And with the Bing Yun Fairy Palace's presence, even some sects that cultivated ice-type profound arts dared not establish themselves within the Ice Extreme Snow Domain.
The reason the Bing Yun Fairy Palace was considered a sacred ground in the eyes of all profound practitioners was not only because of its power but also because the entire palace was filled with unparalleled beauties. Throughout history, the number one beauty of the Cang Feng Empire had almost always come from the Bing Yun Fairy Palace. Leaving aside their looks, just the unique Ice Muscle and Jade Bone of the Bing Yun Fairies was enough to infatuate all men under heaven and arouse the envy of all women.
The vast white world made it extremely easy to lose one's way. Coupled with the fact that the sun and moon were rarely visible here, the sky was a hazy white expanse with no reference points. Even Yun Che, who had an excellent sense of direction, lost his way several times.
At this moment, Yun Che's mind was completely occupied with thoughts of Chu Yuechan and their child, who should already be seven or eight months old. An unprecedented excitement overwhelmed him, one he could not calm no matter what. Accompanying it was a deep-seated fear... because he couldn't be sure whether their child had truly been born. Perhaps the child was now lying in Chu Yuechan's arms, blinking diamond-like, adorable, and bright eyes, waiting to meet his father for the first time... Or perhaps... or perhaps... it had already been a year since...
Yun Che forcefully shook his head, doing everything he could to suppress all distracting thoughts. He slowed his pace, followed his spiritual perception, and walked forward step by step.
"Little Fairy... I wonder if you already know that I'm still alive... It was precisely at the time you needed me most that I was sealed underground. Not only could I not bear the burden with you, but I instead dealt you the heaviest blow and fright... This time, even if you're unwilling, even if the entire Bing Yun Fairy Palace objects, I'll take you out of there by force if I have to, even if it means snatching you away!"
Yun Che silently made an oath in his heart. He regretted that he had gone along with Chu Yuechan's wishes back at Tian Jian Villa. He should have been more firm with her... She had spent decades in the Bing Yun Fairy Palace, and the mindset instilled by it was deeply rooted. She could not convince herself to indulge freely in a feeling that, once born, could not be contained. What she needed most was his firmness... Yet it wasn't until he learned that she had vomited blood and fainted from his "death" that he truly understood...
"About ten li to the northwest, there is a clear profound energy reaction... If there is only one sect in this snow domain, then that should be your target this time."
Mo Li, who had been asleep for two days, woke up at this moment and generously pointed out the direction for Yun Che.
Yun Che immediately turned and headed northwest.
A ten-li stretch of snowfield quickly passed beneath Yun Che's feet. A palace city, flowing with icy radiance, appeared in his vision.
It was a palace city that seemed built from the purest ice and snow, reflecting a soft and cold icy luster, making the entire palace appear bathed in a mist of snow and ice light. From a distance, it looked like a fairy palace in the clouds.
Compared to Tian Jian Villa's grand and imposing atmosphere, this entire palace city could only be described as "delicate." It occupied less than two li of land, smaller in size than even a minor branch of the Xiao Sect. Its aura was not grand or intimidating, but it released a bone-chilling coldness that pierced the soul and a sacred aura that made people dare not approach.
"Is this... the Bing Yun Fairy Palace?" Yun Che stopped, murmured, and then quickened his pace, rapidly closing in.
The closer he got to the Bing Yun Fairy Palace, the colder the temperature became. Strange flowers and plants, like ice crystals and snow petals, bloomed in abundance around the ice palace, gleaming with brilliant light like crystal jewels—dazzling and breathtaking. These exotic plants were born from the purest ice and snow power, untouched by any worldly filth. The air here was also incredibly pure and fresh, so much so that even Yun Che's surging emotions gradually calmed down.
The overly pure and gorgeous flowers and plants made Yun Che reluctant to damage them. He carefully stepped around them, moving forward slowly. Soon, the ice-crystal-like palace gate of the Bing Yun Fairy Palace appeared before his eyes... On the gate, icy light flowed, faintly revealing strange, slow-moving patterns that seemed to seal some special profound formation.
But even after reaching this point, he still hadn't seen a single figure from the Bing Yun Fairy Palace. The entire ice palace was cold and still, as if completely empty.
"Senior Sister said that the Bing Yun Fairy Palace has been closed since sixteen months ago..." Yun Che pondered for a moment and then continued walking forward. At that moment, Mo Li suddenly spoke: "There is an attack profound formation ahead. However, with your current strength, if you want to break through by force, it won't be able to stop you."
At Mo Li's reminder, Yun Che immediately sensed wisps of profound energy fluctuations coming from the snow-covered ground less than ten steps ahead. His brow twitched, and he continued walking forward. When he took the seventh step, the ground in front of him suddenly burst with icy light, and a profound formation, ten zhang wide and shaped like an ice lotus, bloomed. Above the formation, sixteen large characters radiated a chilling intimidation:
"Ice Cloud Palace Closed, No Outside Guests. If You Force Your Way In, Face the Consequences!"
