The Far North, the northernmost place in the world, is covered with snow and snow falls all year round.
Deep in the far north, among the mountains surrounded by heavy snow, there are a large number of palaces wandering around.
In one of the palaces, a woman with silver hair was looking at a mirror in a daze.
On the table in front of the dressing mirror, there is a man's robe and a statue of the woman herself.
The woman stared at the robe and the statue, her nose felt sour, and some tears swam in her eyes before being suppressed. The woman bit her lip, as if she was enduring great heartache.
If Zhong Shan were here, he would definitely be furious. Who made Bei Qingsi so sad?
Sitting in front of the dressing table is Empress Da'ao.
Behind Sad Qingsi, two maids were carefully combing Sad Qingsi's hair.
"Young Palace Master, we haven't seen you smile for a long time." A maid frowned.
"Yes, Young Palace Master, I remember that you used to smile happily every time you looked at these clothes and statues. Why are you sad now?" said another maid.
Sad Qingsi ignored it and was in a very bad mood.
"Young Palace Master, you know, when you first came here, Xiaomei and I were shocked. How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world? No one in Ice God Palace can compare with you!" The maid from before immediately changed the subject.
"Yes, ah, no, the palace master is also beautiful!" The other maid immediately knew that she had said the wrong thing and immediately changed her words.
"Ah, yes, it's the Palace Master. The Palace Master is the most beautiful, and then there's the Young Palace Master!" Another maid stuck out her tongue, obviously not sincerely speaking.
"Xiaomei, Xiaoling," Qingsi said sadly after a while.
"Young Palace Master, what's going on?" the two maids asked immediately.
"I'm asking you for something!" Sad Qingsi said.
"Ah, Young Palace Master, you must not say that. If you have anything to do, just ask Xiaomei and I. Don't say 'please'. It has been the Young Palace Master who has taken care of us all these years, so we have not been given to those turtle bastards."
!" Xiaoling said immediately.
"Yes, Young Palace Master, if you need anything, just ask us and we will definitely help you!" Xiaomei also said immediately.
"In less than a year, something might happen to me. Then I will ask the palace master to let you go. I would like to ask you to bring a letter to the Holy Court of Da'ao for me!" Sad Qingsi said with a somewhat sad tone.
"Is this where the Young Palace Master came from?" Xiaomei asked.
"Something happened? What happened? Could it be, could it be that the Young Palace Master cannot be yours? How could it be you...!" Xiao Ling suddenly shouted.
While Xiaoling was anxious, Xiaomei suddenly shouted.
"Ah, Palace Master, I would like to pay my respects to the Palace Master!" Xiaomei said in a hurry.
"My slave, please pay your respects to the palace master!" Xiao Ling also hurriedly bowed to the person who came from behind.
That is a woman whose appearance is somewhat similar to that of Sad Qingsi. The woman's face is very cold, which makes people feel timid. This is the master of Ice God Palace.
"Go down!" the Lord of Ice God Palace said.
"Yes!" The two maids hurriedly ran away.
Sad Qingsi did not turn her head, but gently picked up the comb and started combing it by herself. Of course, she could also see the palace master behind her in the mirror.
"Qingsi!" The Lord of the Ice God Palace called out softly.
"Palace Master!" Sad Qingsi called softly.
The Ice God Palace Master's expression moved slightly, and he sighed slightly: "It seems that you no longer recognize me as your ancestor!"
"Qingsi doesn't dare!" Sad Qingsi said lightly.
He had a tone that would reject people thousands of miles away.
The Lord of the Ice God Palace seemed to be wandering in a world, and finally shook his head and said: "From the first day I brought you back, I knew that you have extraordinary talents. The magical powers inherited from my blood, you are no worse than me in using them, and I am also very pleased.
."
Sad Qingsi bit her lip and said nothing.
"If you don't want to, then go ahead and let me do the sacrifice this time. But the next time in ten thousand years, I won't be able to do anything about it!" the Ice God Palace Master shook his head.
With a sad expression on her face, Sad Qingsi looked at Zhong Shan's clothes on the dressing table and the little man carved by Zhong Shan specially for him. For a moment, tears flowed down uncontrollably.
"The souls required for the sacrifice ceremony are becoming more and more demanding each time. Now, in the entire Ice God Palace, only your and my souls can be so pure. Tens of thousands of years from now, the requirements will definitely be higher than now. If we can't do it again then,
If the sacrifice is successful, the entire world and the entire world will be devastated!" the Ice God Palace Master sighed.
"Palace, Palace Master! I, I..." Sad Qingsi bit her lip and said.
"Say it!" The Lord of the Ice God Palace looked at Sad Qingsi.
"You should have heard what Xiaomei and Xiaoling and I said just now. I will be the one to make the sacrifice this time. I just want to ask you for something." Sad Qingsi said with difficulty.
"What's the matter? Tell me!" the Ice God Palace Master said with bright eyes.
"Afterwards, the palace master released Xiaomei and Xiaoling left. I wanted him to take something to Da'ao!" Tears kept flowing in Sad Qingsi's eyes.
"Okay, I agreed. When the time comes, I will personally escort them to Da'ao!" the Ice God Palace Master affirmed.
"Yeah!" Sad Qingsi responded softly.
Seeing that Qingsi was still sad, the Lord of the Ice God Palace whispered: "Qingsi, you have also seen that your sacrifice this time is not for the Ice God Palace, but for the entire world, for all the people in the world, and also for
Only if you sacrifice your man can he survive in the world intact. From now on, everyone will remember you!"
"I know, I'm tired, Palace Master, I want to rest!" Sad Qingsi endured the grievance in her heart and said.
"Okay, you have a good rest!" the Ice God Palace Master said softly.
After saying that, the Lord of the Ice God Palace stepped out of the hall. After leaving the hall, the Lord of the Ice God Palace gave a slight cry, as if he had fulfilled a wish.
In the main hall, Sad Qingsi picked up Zhong Shan's robe and squatted alone in the corner, hugging the robe desperately, unable to hold back the tears of grievance in her eyes.
Maybe the corner can give Sad Qingsi some support.
After Zhong Shan and his party came out of Zhuangzi's monastery, they headed straight to the far north.
After several months, Zhong Shan and his party finally arrived in the far north.
There is an endless snowfield, snowflakes are still falling in the sky, and the temperature is slightly cold, but for a group of peerless experts, this environment is nothing special at all. At most, it is visually different from other places.
On the top of a snowy mountain, Zhongshan and his group of twelve people landed on it, looking far into the depths of the snowfield.
In front of Zhong Shan and his party, there was a man in red robe kneeling.
"Inspector of the Far North, Dou Wei, pays homage to the Holy King!" The man in red robe said with great respect.
The Inspector of the Far North Land has a nice name, but in real terms, he is just a sentinel who reports some important events in the Far North Land to the Holy Court of Da'ao. Of course, in addition to the Far North Land, all major territories, Da'ao
They all sent people there.
"Get up!" Zhong Shan said calmly.
"Yes!" Dou Wei stood up extremely excitedly.
Although Dou Wei was sent out very early and did not know the details about Da'ao, the scene of the battle of Lingxiao Heavenly Court against the three great saints was so grand that there were not many strong men in Beizhou who had not heard of it.
As I said, people like Dou Wei who collect intelligence must know more.
That was the Saint, who was rumored to be the most powerful being in the world. However, when the Saint King faced the three great Saints, he was safe and sound, and even slapped the Saint twice in the face.
When he heard the news, Dou Wei even trembled with excitement. Dou Wei had joined Da'ao since he was a child, so he naturally understood the great talents and strategies of the Holy King.
The Small Thousand World could not be unified for hundreds of thousands of years, but the Holy King unified the Small Thousand World in just eight hundred years, which was unprecedented. Although he was originally a vassal of the Taichu Holy Court, Dou Wei believed that as long as there was time, the Holy King would definitely become stronger.
.
The Holy King did it. It has only been a few hundred years, and Da'ao has reached such a high level. As a subject of Da'ao, he is naturally excited and proud.
"Is there any news about the Ice God Palace?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Holy King, I am incompetent and cannot penetrate the depths!" Dou Wei said immediately.
"oh?"
"The Far North is very large, several times larger than the ordinary territory. Generally speaking, it can be divided into three parts!" Dou Wei said.
Zhong Shan said nothing, waiting for him to continue.
"The first part is the southern area of this territory, which is the area where we are now. There are three celestial dynasties entrenched and dozens of imperial dynasties occupying it. Conquests continue, but it is not considered a mainstream force."
"The second part is the north of this territory, which is the territory of the Crystal Clan and Ice God Palace. Unfortunately, with my strength, I can't go to the north!"
"Why?" Zhong Shan asked.
"That's because of the third part. In the center of this territory, there is a force that spans across the sky like a brand new sky. They block outsiders from entering the Holy Land of the Xuanwu Clan. I have been blocked by the Xuanwu Clan several times when I went deep into the territory.
After I came down, there was a time when I almost couldn’t be loyal to Da’ao anymore!” Dou Wei said.
"Well, you've worked hard!" Zhong Shan nodded.
"Thank you, Holy King, I appreciate the hard work!" Dou Wei immediately said excitedly.
"The Xuanwu Clan blocks everything outside, so where is the Xuanwu Clan's holy land?" Zhong Shan asked.
At a glance, Zhongshan saw that in the distance, there were four pillars standing tall on the horizon. The pillars were green and black. Because they were blocked by mountains, rivers and clouds, they could not see clearly where they were standing below. And above, they were like the depths of the starry sky.
There is no end in sight.
Although the four pillars standing tall on the sky are not far apart from each other from a distance, they must be far apart when up close, and they occupy the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest respectively.
"Yes, that's right there. It's a pity that I can't go in. The Xuanwu clan won't let anyone get close to it!" Dou Wei said immediately.
"Zhong Shan, there seems to be...!" Fan Ji said solemnly.
Zhong Shan? Dou Wei was startled at the side. Who is this woman? She was so tightly covered that she dared to call the Holy King by his name.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Shan asked.
"The aura of the Heavenly Demon Realm, I feel a strong aura of the Heavenly Demon Realm!" Fan Ji shook her head and said.
