Hidden Heavenly Lake
Sect Master Xiao's intrigue went a little off plan. And now four strongest sects of the Blue Wind empire suffered from his actions, and even the empire not involved in this case lost its future Empress Cang Yue. No one could have thought that the Slayer would kill the practitioners of the Abode of the Heavenly Sword, who were closely related with the Divine Region of the Mighty Sword.
In the world of cultivators, if you do not belong to the Divine sect, you need to think tens of thousands of times before killing someone. After all, there is a more powerful back behind the back, and so on. But these rules of survival did not apply to the Slayer.
- Do you know where the hidden area is?
A simple question posed by the Slayer made Xia Qingyue and the two girls behind her come to their senses a little. It is possible that their lives will depend on the answer.
- Yes. - Xia Qingyue replied quietly.
- Go.
Xia Qingyue instantly said goodbye to the two girls and began to lead the Slayer to the indicated place.
Naturally, no one dared to block their path, the only thing that remained to be done for the practitioners of the Heavenly Sword was to look at the Slayer with hatred and fear.
- Remember you !! One word of mine is enough for the region of the Mighty Sword to start hunting you! And you can't hide anywhere!
A woman in a green dress screamed, for the abode of the Heavenly Sword she was the wife of a sect master and the daughter of some great elder from the Mighty Sword region. Thanks to her connections, no one dared to attack the Heavenly Sword Sect.

At the northern end of the Heavenly Sword Ridge was a flat valley. This place was completely different from the Heavenly Sword Ridge filled with imposing energy. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful, and even the sounds of the wind were extremely soothing.
Xia Qingyue had already completely calmed down mentally, and this process was also accelerated by the Ice Cloud Asgard technique "The Art of the Ice Heart". This ability allowed her to suppress her emotions, helping the women of the palace to remain calm and collected almost always.
- It's here. The portal should open soon. - Qingyue said emotionlessly. - May I go away?
- No. Then you will take me to your palace and tell your masters to make medicine pills for development.
- You definitely have to be above the imperial level, at this level, resources for development can hardly help anything. - Like everyone else, Xia Qingyue simply could not imagine that there could be another force besides spiritual energy.
From the point of view of the Slayer, inner strength has only two really useful things. This is a levitation technique, available immediately at the heavenly level, and extrasensory perceptions.
After a while, spatial distortion began to form in front of the Slayer. Their surface was like a seething stream with ripples spreading to the sides.
The spatial distortion began to intensify, spinning at high speed until it formed into a huge swirling vortex. Air currents around the vortex were drawn into it, creating howling winds. Eventually, the vortex began to slow down, and when it came to a complete stop, it became a black portal about three meters in diameter. Through the black portal that floated in the air, it was impossible to see anything but black blackness.
- Let's go.
Xia Qingyue had no choice but to follow the Slayer.

Smooth ice stretched far ahead. This dimension was reminiscent of the test of the Dragon God, there were also visible high mountains rising high into the sky, as if highlighting the border of this dimension.
The weather was extremely harsh here now. Even Xia Qingyue had to cover himself with spiritual energy to stay warm.
VEGA: I have already figured out an approximate route to the intended seed. It is like an independent conventional Three-dimensional space, as in the dragon god trial. If the portal disappears, you can destroy this dimension. It shouldn't affect the main world.
Following the paved path, the Slayer, along with Xia Qingyue, quickly reached the indicated place, it did not even take half a day.
VEGA: The target is definitely below us.
At that time, Xia Qingyue stared in shock at the blue two-meter flower.
"It can't be... It looks like a flower of the Awakened Core of the Imperial Lotus, according to the records, its energy is extremely stable and capable of raising the practice by several levels. In my case, I will be able to ascend immediately to the Emperor Profound Realm... - Xia Qingyue turned around and stared at the Slayer. - "It looks like he knows nothing and does not understand... I must take this flower for myself, its last appearance was four hundred years ago."
Thinking to herself, Xia Qingyue made the right decision. Destroying the stem of the flower with her inner energy, she quickly reached out and placed the Imperial Lotus in her space ring.
VEGA: Something is moving here.
There was an extremely muffled sound like a roar. Suddenly, a faint, gradually increasing vibration began to shake the ice. Xia Qingyue's expression changed as she realized it was due to her actions.
The spirit beast that stood guard over the Imperial Lotus has awakened. Feeling that the aura of the flower was gone, he fell into endless rage.
The beast's spiritual aura was enormous. Xia Qingyue realized that there was no point in running, her internal organs could collapse from the spiritual pressure alone.
BOOM!
Snow covering the ground and countless huge chunks of ice were thrown high into the sky, reaching a height that cannot be seen by the human eye. Then a huge column of water soared into the sky. The layer of ice that bound the surface of the Heavenly Lake was more than thirty meters thick, but for an unknown monster it turned out to be no stronger than a sheet of paper. The huge mass of water, lifted into the air, began to solidify right in the fall, turning into a giant ice tower. Suddenly, from under the surface, which did not have time to freeze the water, an incredibly huge white figure jumped out, rising into the sky about thirty meters. Then she landed hard.
It was a huge spiritual beast, it was about three hundred meters in height, and white wool covered its entire body. He had a humanoid body and a terrible wolf head with bloodshot eyes.
By the way. For Xia Qingyue's perception, it was a giant beast, with his body he eclipsed the divine light pouring from the heavens, and his aura was huge and terrifying, like the 100500 thousand Tai mountains.
Roar!
The beast raised his right hand and directed it towards the arrogant people who dared to take his treasure.
The Slayer seemed to just hit the air... but the consequences for this dimension were enormous.
Xia Qingyue saw that it was clearly an ordinary blow from a completely ordinary person, but at the same time, from this simple swing, the body of the spirit beast shattered into small pieces. From where the Slayer's fist stopped, thin white lines began to spread throughout the space, with a characteristic sound.
Several thin lines pierced Xia Qingyue's body, but they were no harm to her.
- What it is? - Qingyue wanted to touch those white lines, but they could not be grasped. The hand, like the body, just passed through.
It was only now that Xia Qingyue noticed that these thin lines extended all the way to the sky and the horizon. It looked like cracked glass. Only how could this be done with space? Qingyue's mind could not find a logical explanation for this phenomenon.
While Qingyue was a little surprised. The Slayer has already found the seed of an evil god in the remains of the beast. After swallowing the blue ball, the Slayer's spiritual power began to rapidly increase and reached level 10 of the True Profound Realm.
Suddenly, not high above the ground, a golden humanoid figure materialized.
- The successor to my powers ... You are finally here ...
For the Slayer, this remnant soul was nothing special.
- The seed you just consumed. It contained a fragment of my soul, left by me a long time ago... I waited for many years in this small world... And finally, I waited for your appearance...
- Where are the rest of the seeds.
The evil god only now noticed that this tiny independent dimension he had created was almost destroyed. He could not believe that this seemingly completely ordinary person of the 10th level of the True Profound Realm could do such a thing. But that was reality.
- I understand you... I can only teleport back and forth... You have 24 hours, this should be more than enough ...
The space around the Slayer and Xia Qingyue was distorted, and they disappeared into a dimensional rift.
- I could not do anything... Even invade the mind and soul... The kingdom of the gods may be in danger if such a person turns out to be evil... But still, I had no choice, only the heir of the god of creation is capable stop the threat...
The last powers of the evil god were over, and his residual soul completely disappeared.
