Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2233 - 2215: Sky Cold Cave

After roughly two hours, Xiao Bai had cried enough and finally stopped sobbing. He approached Lin Feng and the group of women, looked at them, and said, "From now on, you’re my master, I’ll follow you..."

Although he still felt somewhat aggrieved, he couldn’t disobey his master, especially since Lin Feng and the women treated him well. Given there was nothing more to be taken out, staying with Lin Feng and the others didn’t seem that bad...

Seeing Xiao Bai had come around, Lin Feng’s face displayed a faint smile. With a wave of his hand, he stored the women and Xiao Bai into his Space Ring, while he began searching alone for a suitable place for the women to break through. Suddenly, he recalled the affairs of the Radiant Heaven Sect, and his lips curled into a smile. If there was anyone familiar with the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain, the Shocking Heaven Ancestor from Radiant Heaven Sect would be the most suitable.

...

The Shocking Heaven Ancestor was cultivating in his cave when he suddenly sensed an extremely unusual aura appear, and abruptly opened his eyes. Immediately, he saw Cheng Feng and was stunned—he had no idea how Lin Feng managed to appear here! What worried him even more was figuring out why Lin Feng was seeking him, which filled his heart with anxiety.

"Friend, w-what’s your intention?"

Looking at Lin Feng, the Shocking Heaven Ancestor was genuinely nervous. He knew his strength was no match for Lin Feng, so he wanted to clarify Lin Feng’s purpose at this moment. If Lin Feng had come to kill him, it would be disastrous—he hadn’t caused any trouble since his son died!

Seeing the Shocking Heaven Ancestor’s tense demeanor, Lin Feng smiled calmly, shook his head to signify not to worry, and then said to him, "Don’t be tense; I’ve come to inquire about some matters."

"Please ask, my friend. I’ll certainly speak openly and share everything I know!" said the Shocking Heaven Ancestor, looking at Lin Feng. Honestly, he was quite curious about what Lin Feng wanted to know specifically that he could only learn from him.

"I’m curious, why is this world called the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain?" Lin Feng looked at the Shocking Heaven Ancestor and posed his first question.

"You might not know, my friend, but the name Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain has existed since the world first appeared. It’s said this world was established by a Supreme Powerhouse who erected a giant stele over a hundred meters tall after creating the world. However, countless years have passed, and the stele has never appeared again, only recorded in some historical books," answered the Shocking Heaven Ancestor promptly after hearing Lin Feng’s query. After having confronted Lin Feng earlier, he suspected Lin Feng wasn’t from the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain, and now his assumption was confirmed. However, he’d only pondered these ideas in his mind; he wouldn’t dare hide anything Lin Feng wanted to say.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng nodded and continued asking, "Second question: How many forbidden areas are there in the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain, and is there an extremely cold place?"

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the Shocking Heaven Ancestor replied immediately, "The Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain has four forbidden areas in total. Every forbidden area is perilous for ordinary people—even Earth Immortal level individuals dare not enter recklessly. They include the Silent Desert, the Realm of the Dead, and Skyfire City! As for the extremely cold place you mentioned, there is indeed one—Sky Cold Cave, wherein the ice is exceedingly terrifying. With my strength, I can only endure in a range of one or two miles before withdrawing."

Lin Feng was intrigued upon hearing this from the Shocking Heaven Ancestor, realizing the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain featured numerous forbidden areas with distinctive names. He asked the Shocking Heaven Ancestor to introduce each one in detail.

"Certainly, my friend!" said the Shocking Heaven Ancestor, patiently describing each location: "The Silent Desert is an exceptionally strange area; once you enter its range, your Gang Qi halts circulating entirely, making activation impossible. Additionally, once inside, exiting is arduous. Numerous Earth Immortal level individuals have ventured in before, none returned alive."

"The Realm of the Dead is a bottomless pit within an underground cave—rumored to be a passage to Hell. Many Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouses have tried exploring it, yet none who descended ever came back. As for Skyfire City, it’s a city—consistently engulfed in flames for thousands of years without change. Many powerful figures sought its power, but they all ended up as ashes."

"Sky Cold Cave lies within a snowy mountain, where the chill in the cave is unparalleled. No one knows why it’s so cold, yet fortunately, conditions inside are rather unique—not highly dangerous initially. The further you go, the colder it gets, forcing you to retreat before danger sets in, unlike the other three perilous forbidden areas."

The Shocking Heaven Ancestor provided Lin Feng with a detailed introduction of these places, though he remained curious about Lin Feng’s interest in them.

After hearing the Shocking Heaven Ancestor’s explanations, Lin Feng nodded and asked, "Where are they located?"

"The Silent Desert is at the far west of the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain—a visible location from afar! The Realm of the Dead is situated in a black mountain further west of the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain—it’s quite distinctive and easy to find. Skyfire City needs no mention; it’s south of the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain and can be seen crisply from hundreds of miles away. Sky Cold Cave’s location is more complex; if you wish to visit, finding local guides is better, or else it’s impossible to locate, as the ice mountains there look identical—only locals can distinguish them."

Upon Lin Feng’s inquiry, the Shocking Heaven Ancestor answered in detail once again, leaving nothing out. His mind, however, had deciphered Lin Feng’s intention—he likely planned to explore these four places. Foreseeing that, he advised, "If my friend intends to explore these areas, I urge caution—especially with the Realm of the Dead and the Silent Desert. Countless people have died there within the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain..."

"Alright!" replied Lin Feng simply after hearing the Shocking Heaven Ancestor’s advice, then vanished from sight.

Though vast, Lin Feng reached the far north of the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain in approximately four hours through his continuous use of Thousand Miles in One Step. With his Divine Sense range now nearing ten thousand miles, the region posed scarcely any limitation on him.

Surveying the expansive ice mountains before him, he finally understood the Shocking Heaven Ancestor’s words, as the mountains appeared truly peculiar. At a glance, they all seemed identical, even matching completely in height, a most bewildering scene.

With a motion of his Divine Sense, he scanned a town hundreds of miles away and appeared there, without anyone noticing his abrupt entrance.

"Crunch, crunch..."

Stepping onto the snow, the sound of crunching snow echoed beneath his feet, bringing a cool refreshment to his surroundings that lifted his mood significantly. The fatigue from repeatedly using Thousand Miles in One Step was swept away, and he raised his gaze towards a shop by the roadside selling various fur jackets, heading over.

Pulling aside the heavy curtain, he entered the shop, where a burly man in his forties or fifties, dressed in a furry coat, immediately greeted him, "What fur jacket would you like to buy, sir? My small shop has everything one might need, so let me know if you have any requests—I can recommend something for you."

The man was very enthusiastic, but Lin Feng waved his hand at him and said, "Sorry, I’m not here to buy a jacket; I’m here to ask you something. Do you know anyone who can guide me to Sky Cold Cave?"

"Sky Cold Cave?" said the man, surprised by Lin Feng’s intention. Noticing that Lin Feng wore no cold-resistant clothing, he immediately understood Lin Feng was clearly a powerhouse, relaxed, and smiled, "Sir, it’s been years since anyone expressed interest in Sky Cold Cave. But here in Lingxue Town, there are indeed a few who know its location. If you wish to find them, I can take you there. Whether they are willing to guide you depends on you."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper, for the help—please accept this token of appreciation," said Lin Feng, offering a piece of gold to the man.

The man was astounded by Lin Feng’s generosity, holding the gold dumbfoundedly. After noticing Lin Feng’s gaze toward the entrance, he promptly called inside, "Family, I’m heading out; watch the shop!"

Then he dashed towards the curtain’s edge, holding it open for Lin Feng, "Please, sir!"

Without hesitation, Lin Feng exited the shop, and after letting the curtain fall, the man quickly led Lin Feng onward.

Lingxue Town was not large, so within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they reached an aging mansion at the town’s edge, where they met a seventy-some old man.

"Old Wang, this gentleman wants to go to Sky Cold Cave. Can you still guide him?" queried the man of the elderly.

"Liu Dabao, at my age, can I still visit such a place?" retorted the elder, not sparing Lin Feng a glance, shaking his head as he spoke.

"Old Wang, don’t think I don’t know—you were there just two months ago!" chuckled Liu Dabao at the elder’s words, evidently well aware of the elder’s actions. Without a second thought, he divulged the elder’s whereabouts, knowing his physical condition well enough to bring Lin Feng here.
