On the peak of the ice valley.
Jiang Li was fiercely battling various martial arts divine abilities and numerous snow demon spirits.
These snow demon spirits were all high-tier supreme level spirits. With the cooperation of multiple spirits, their difficulty was no less than that of ordinary great venerable level cultivators.
Furthermore, these snow demon spirits possessed a powerful strength bonus in the Snow Forest Valley.
Although Jiang Li's realm had already reached the eighth level of the Great Sage, it was still impossible for him to easily deal with these spirits.
"My realm is still too low," Jiang Li murmured in his heart.
If Jiang Li's realm had already reached the supreme level, he would definitely be able to easily crush these spirits.
Unfortunately, there were no "ifs."
After the fierce battle with these spirits, Jiang Li also clearly understood his combat power.
He was already equivalent to a supreme eighth-level cultivator, coupled with numerous divine abilities and secret techniques, he could hold his own against ordinary great venerable level cultivators.
Against stronger opponents, he could only run away.
As for the quasi-emperor level old ancestors, there was no need to even think about it; they were not something Jiang Li could deal with at the moment.
"Nine Sovereigns Town Origin Talisman!!!"
After determining that he could not quickly defeat these spirits, Jiang Li did not hesitate to bring out the Nine Sovereigns Town Origin Talisman.
As the Nine Sovereigns Town Origin Talisman was activated, a stream of light containing a terrifying offensive power blasted towards those snow demon spirits.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
World-destroying energy rampaged on the ice valley peak, quickly sweeping through the entire ice valley.
The surrounding snow mountains cracked everywhere. The cold air and terrifying aura intertwined, forming an extremely violent presence.
Those snow demon spirits did not expect Jiang Li to suddenly unleash such a fierce offensive.
The strike, containing the limit of a supreme ninth-level great venerable cultivator, instantly engulfed these snow demon spirits.
The snow demon spirits immediately let out painful wails.
Under the bombardment of the Nine Sovereigns Town Origin Talisman, these snow demon spirits suffered devastating injuries, their auras becoming extremely weak, as if they were on the verge of perishing at any moment.
Jiang Li did not hesitate at all, and then unleashed his Six Paths Samsara Fist, striking towards these already severely wounded snow demon spirits.
Six deep black vortexes appeared, and Jiang Li's fist, carrying unparalleled domineering power, directly suppressed and killed those snow demon spirits.
Golden primeval energy seemed to scatter, and the powerful snow demon spirits were completely turned into dust under Jiang Li's fist.
"That fellow actually killed those spirits. Such talent and strength are truly formidable!" Not far from the ice valley, Wang Xiao watched the scene on the ice valley peak with surprise, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
As a supreme ninth-level great venerable cultivator, Wang Xiao naturally recognized the formidable power of Jiang Li.
Whether it was his martial arts divine abilities or his physical strength and spiritual energy, among all the people he had seen, he was top-notch.
When did such an unbelievably powerful prodigy appear in the Northern Plains?
"It's just relying on the power of talismans. Once I break through to the high-tier supreme realm, killing those spirits will be as easy as waving my hand. This fellow relies on the power of talismans and fought for so long; he's just a good-for-nothing!"
Wang Teng then said coldly, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Li.
"Oh no, why did I say that in front of the Young Master?" Wang Xiao's forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Wang Teng, as the prodigy of the Wang family of the Northern Plains, had been groomed to be an emperor since childhood.
Everyone who knew his talent called him the Young Emperor without exception.
Wang Teng detested it the most when others praised the strength of others in front of him. He had carelessly committed a grave offense.
"The Young Master is right, he's just relying on the power of talismans. This kind of trash has no real strength!" Wang Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then flatteringly said.
"However, his strength is a bit better than those other good-for-nothings. I will reluctantly give him an opportunity and let him be my follower!" A cold glint flashed in Wang Teng's eyes, and he said indifferently.
As soon as Wang Teng spoke, Wang Xiao's heart skipped a beat. Making him a follower meant he was clearly a top-tier prodigy with extremely powerful talent, possibly with a deep background.
"Young Master, no! That fellow might be a prodigy from another force. We shouldn't..." Wang Xiao tried to stop him.
Although Wang Teng spoke as if that fellow was useless, Wang Xiao could clearly feel the potential of that fellow.
His realm and age were not high, but his combat power was simply outrageous.
He was definitely a talented seed from some force.
Moreover, when they left, the Wang family patriarch had already instructed that the situation in the entire Arcanum Continent was changing rapidly, and a major upheaval was likely to occur.
During this period, they should try not to do anything outrageous.
"My mind is made up. In the Northern Plains, besides the Reverse Immortal Sect, are there any forces that my Wang family cannot afford to offend?" Wang Teng said coldly, and then swiftly sped towards the distant ice valley.
Wang Xiao watched Wang Teng speed away into the distance, feeling a wave of exhaustion.
If he had known, he wouldn't have taken this job...
...
"That seven-hundred-thousand-year-old sacred medicine should be here!"
Deep within the Snow Forest Valley, Jiang Li slowly walked towards the coordinates provided by the system.
After eliminating those snow demon spirits, Jiang Li did not delay and quickly left the ice valley for the place where the sacred medicine was located.
Here, cold winds blew everywhere, and the piercing cold wind howled continuously, as if to freeze everything.
Jiang Li activated his Nine Palaces Eye Technique, and at the same time, his spiritual power was pushed to its limit. The entire situation deep within the ice valley was imprinted into Jiang Li's mind.
Soon, relying on his powerful methods, Jiang Li discovered an ice peak with extremely pure spiritual energy.
The surroundings of the ice peak were filled with dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
However, this spiritual energy seemed to be affected by the cold, unable to fully dissipate, making it extremely hidden.
If not for Jiang Li's spiritual power and Nine Palaces Eye Technique, he would not have been able to discover such hidden spiritual energy.
"It should be inside this ice peak," Jiang Li murmured as he looked at the giant mountain peak before him.
"Screech!!!"
Immediately, Jiang Li did not hesitate. The Panwu Divine Sword, carrying unparalleled offensive power, instantly slashed towards this giant ice peak.
"Rumble!!!"
With a deafening roar, the entire ice peak was torn apart by Jiang Li's Panwu Divine Sword.
The enormous glacier instantly exploded, and countless spiritual energies and ice shards scattered everywhere, forming an ice crystal storm.
The entire area fell into a profound silence.
After a while, a giant snow lotus, emitting a white spiritual light, appeared before Jiang Li.
"Ice-grade Snow Lotus!!!"
Jiang Li's eyes lit up. It was a seven-hundred-thousand-year-old Ice-grade Snow Lotus.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to find such a treasure here. What a huge harvest!" A joyous voice echoed throughout the ice peak.
