The ce Ye Xiao was currently standing seems to be an underground city. Yes, it looked more like a city.


    This ce was arge empty space where Immortal Beasts caved a fewrge holes to stay. There were hundreds of suchrge holes and hundreds of different kinds of Immortal Beasts.


    Ye Xiao was surrounded by many Immortal Beasts. The weakest among them was at the Late Stage Immortal King Realm.


    If there were only one or two or even five of these Immortal Beasts, Ye Xiao could have easily dealt with them but unfortunately, there were more than a hundred Immortal Beasts, causing Ye Xiao''s expression to turn serious.


    He knew that he could not deal with these beasts even if he gave his 100% in theing fight against these Immortal Beasts. So, he made the wisest choice, he caught the leg of the Man-Demon Ice Horse and entered the Universe in his mind.


    He directly went to the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda and started devouring the Man-Demon Ice Horse.


    Man-Demon Ice Horse was a Late Stage Immortal King Realm Immortal Beast while Ye Xiao was only at the Late Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm, he believed devouring the Man-Demon Ice Horse could at least help him reach the Peak of the Immortal Lord Realm.


    The moment Ye Xiao started devouring, rich spirit energy started entering his body that made him extremelyfortable. Ye Xiao kept circting his cultivation technique while refining the devoured spirit energy.


    His guess was proved to be true as he did reach the Peak of the Immortal Lord Realm, only a small step away from the Immortal King Realm, but this small step was not that easy to take.


    Many People stop improving after arriving at this step. Although it sounds easy to break through to the Immortal King Realm after reaching the Immortal Lord Realm but in reality, it takes people at least a few dozen years to sessfully take this step and enter the Early Stage of the Immortal King Realm.


    Of course, Ye Xiao was not worried about any of these things, after all, he was cultivating the Nine Dragon Universal Cirction Technique. Because of this cultivation technique, Ye Xiao had no bottleneck to break, not in the past, not now, and not in the future.


    He would gain more confidence dealing with the Immortal Beasts outside if his cultivation were to increase. So, without thinking much, Ye Xiao took out the Spirit Stealing Fruit that he had already prepared to use after reaching the Peak of the Immortal Lord Realm, and swallowed it.


    The moment Ye Xiao swallowed the Spirit Stealing Fruit, it melted in his stomach immediately, and suddenly, a surge of suction force erupted out from his body that started sucking the spirit energy from the surrounding at an amazing speed.


    A whirlpool of spirit energy was made while taking Ye Xiao as the center. It looked as if a tornado was about to be formed while Ye Xiao was the core of this tornado.


    It was a pity that the rank of the Spirit Stealing Fruit was not high.


    Originally, the Spirit Stealing Fruit was only a Seventh Grade Medicinal Fruit but after its evolution on the Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda, it was evolved into a Low-Grade Immortal Rank Spirit Fruit.


    To the current Ye Xiao who was already at the Peak of the Immortal Lord Realm, a Low-Grade Immortal Rank Spirit Fruit would not prove to be much of help. But since the property of the Spirit Stealing Fruit was to steal the spirit energy from the surrounding and provide those energies to the one who swallowed it, Ye Xiao thought that it would be of great help at the moment when he was about to break through to a new realm.


    Right now, Ye Xiao was surrounded by a huge whirlpool of spirit energy that was constantly erging. Ye Xiao kept circting the Fourth Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Cirction Technique to refine these spirit energies that were making their way inside his body constantly, without any sign to stop.


    He was also taking his step towards the Immortal King Realm while slowly refining the spirit energy.


    .....


    Four hours after Ye Xiao went inside the crack, Ta Mu finally arrived at the Land of Ice and Fire.


    Without stopping in his path, he directly flew and went inside the valley. He went through everything that Ye Xiao had been through to reach the ce where the g was ced.


    It was another matter that Ta Mu didn''t have to put up any effort to reach this ce. With his strength, Ta Mu believed that he could venture at any ce inside the Land of Ice and Fire without any problem.


    When he arrived at the ce where the White g was floating in the air without any support, he immediately started looking for Ye Xiao but to no avail.


    It was at this moment when he felt something trembling inside his spatial ring. He waved his hand and a talisman appeared. This talisman was called themunication talisman and through this talisman, one could easilymunicate with another person, no matter the distance.


    Of course, there was also a condition, and the condition was: a person who wants tomunicate and the person whom themunicator wants tomunicate has to be inside the same world. They can not be separated by any world or space.


    People could notmunicate using themunication talisman if both people are in the indifferent worlds, or a person is inside the Immortal Star World while the other person is inside a secret realm.


    Ta Mu immediately fused his spirit energy inside themunication talisman, causing it to lit up with orange light, and heard the message that Wu Cheng had just sent him.


    "What? Is he mad? Why did he enter the crack?" Ta Mu immediately shouted in anger.


    How could he not be angry? He arrived at the Land of Ice and Fire after flying for more than four hours just for the sake of Ye Xiao but when he arrived here, Ye Xiao was nowhere to be seen.


    Now, he was hearing that Ye Xiao actually entered the crack while chasing after the Man-Demon Ice Horse. This message really infuriated Ta Mu.


    He knew very well how dangerous the underground ce of the Land of Ice and Fire was. More Immortal Beasts could be found underground than on the ground.


    "What should I do now? Should I return or should I search for him inside the crack?" Ta Mu used themunication talisman to ask Wu Cheng.


    Wu Cheng thought for a while and answered, "I could not make any decision right now. It is up to you what you want to do!"


    Ta Mu thought for a while and again said, "I could feel many powerful aurasing from the deep inside the crack. Many of these auras belong to Immortal Emperor Realm Immortal Beasts. It is very dangerous to go inside the crack. I think Ye Xiao should already be dead by now. It is impossible for him to survive under the ws of these many Immortal Beasts!"


    "Then what do you want to do?" Wu Cheng again sent another message.


    Ta Mu took a deep breath and said, "Although ording to the situation here, Ye Xiao should be dead by now, still since I have alreadye here, I''ll wait for him toe out from the crack on his own. If he didn''te out before the eruption of the Hell me, I''ll truly consider him dead and return!"


    Wu Cheng agreed with what Ta Mu said. He also told Huang Daniu and Huang Daniu also agreed. This decision was the most feasible decision considering the current situation of the Land of Ice and Fire.


    Ta Mu sat down cross-legged not far away from therge crack on the ground and closed his eyes, preparing to wait for Ye Xiao toe out from the crack before the eruption of the Hell me.


    The arrival of Ta Mu and hismunication with Wu Cheng and their decision, all of these were seen and heard by everyone outside through the big water screen in the air.


    .....


    On the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda, the whirlpool around Ye Xiao was now slowly shortening in size.


    Ye Xiao kept refining the spirit energy by circting the Fourth Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Cirction Technique and very quickly, the sound of something cracking and exploding came out from within Ye Xiao''s body.


    "Ktttt"


    "BOOM!"


    A powerful aura burst out from Ye Xiao''s body, causing a huge ripple in the surroundings and the spirit energy from the surrounding once again started to surge inside Ye Xiao''s body.


    But this time, it was not because of the Spirit Stealing Fruit but because of him entering the new realm.


    Yes, Ye Xiao was now an Immortal King Realm martial artist.
