Chapter 44 Heading to the Temple
At this time, Li Hongcheng, the heir apparent of Prince Jing, was unaware that Li Yuan, whom he said had not left his home for many years, was already outside the capital city.
After leaving the pass, Li Yuan seized the opportunity presented by Fan Xian's wedding.
After leaving a note in his father Prince Jing's study, he left the palace and headed north after leaving the capital.
Although he had never traveled far before, going to the temple was a goal he had set long ago, and he had naturally made all sorts of preparations over the years.
Although the Qing Kingdom had set up countless checkpoints in the north, they ultimately could not prevent true masters from entering.
For a master like Li Yuan, whose strength is only below the four grandmasters and ranks among the top five in the world, there are countless ways to easily break through these obstacles when traveling alone and lightly equipped.
Finally, he crossed the border of the State of Qing and entered the territory of the State of Qi.
Then, continue north!
After crossing the Wudu River... after passing the capital of Qi, Shangjing City... after passing the North Gate, Tianguan...
Li Yuan traveled north and finally arrived at the snow-covered plains in the far north of the continent.
This place is completely covered in ice and snow, and it's winter every single day of the year!
The swirling snow transformed into deep, piercing swords, relentlessly and coldly carving everything in this place.
Occasionally, the dark rocks peeking out from under the snow reveal a deathly still appearance, yet they remain the only unusual color amidst this expanse of white.
At this moment, Li Yuan was covered with a thick layer of fur.
If this were in the Qing Kingdom, everyone would probably praise you for being dressed so warmly.
But this outfit looked particularly thin in the icy and snowy land of the far north of the continent!
Of all the people in the world today, perhaps only Li Yuan would dare to travel alone, lightly equipped, and enter this snowfield.
Even an ordinary ninth-rank martial artist would freeze to death here if they did not make adequate preparations to keep warm.
However, thanks to the properties of the Burning Heaven True Qi, Li Yuan did not feel cold at all.
As long as he has sufficient internal energy, he would never die from the cold.
Perhaps there are other true energies in the world that are similar to the Burning Heaven True Energy, possessing high-temperature properties.
However, even martial artists who have cultivated those true qi will still die if they come to this snowfield without making sufficient preparations!
Because... their true energy will eventually run out!
But Li Yuan, who cultivated the Burning Heaven True Qi, was different!
Looking across the world, the total amount of true energy within him can be said to rank among the top five, second only to the four grandmasters.
And its speed of recovering true qi is even higher, ranking second only to Ku He of Northern Qi!
It was precisely because of these characteristics that Li Yuan dared to come alone to the snowfields of the far north and head to the temple located in the Arctic alone!
For him, this journey to find the temple was also a dual training and tempering of both body and mind.
As for the cultivation of true qi, it will not only not slow down, but will actually speed up.
After all, the closer you get to the Arctic, the richer the primordial energy of heaven and earth becomes.
For him, who possesses the "Burning Heaven Domain," which allows him to absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth and transform it into true energy, this is a treasure trove for cultivation!
"call……"
Looking at the gray sky and then at the boundless snowscape, Li Yuan slowly exhaled a breath of warm air, took out a pair of glasses with lenses made of black crystal from his pocket, and put them on his nose.
Although such things are rare, with the power and wealth of the Prince's Mansion, they could certainly find them if they really wanted to.
Although with his current physical condition, even if he stays here for dozens of days, he may not get snow blindness.
But since we've already made the necessary preparations, it's better to be prepared than not, so let's just use them.
Along the way, Li Yuan first ate the food he had prepared in a city in the northernmost part of Qi.
Anyway, it's freezing cold here, so food won't spoil even after being stored for many days; it'll just get frozen solid.
After the food prepared in advance was eaten up, they naturally began to hunt for food to survive.
Snow hare, snow fox, white sheep, white deer, white bear, white cow...
He has no shortage of protein and fat, and the supplies he carries with him can sustain him for a while as well as other nutrients needed by the human body.
Even if he loses it later, it doesn't matter. With his true energy and strong physique, he can withstand it and adjust himself.
As for how to cook food... just use your inner energy.
Burning Heaven True Qi is that convenient!
one day……
Two days...
Three days...
Ten days...
Twenty days...
One month...
Two months...
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye!
During these days, Li Yuan's body has been enduring the trials of wind, snow, and bitter cold every moment, and the Burning Heaven True Qi within his body is constantly circulating.
While true energy is constantly being consumed, it is also constantly being replenished.
Even with a balance between income and expenditure, the total amount of internal energy continues to increase.
It can be said that these two months were the period in which Li Yuan's cultivation improved the fastest in his entire life!
Although his realm has far exceeded the limit of the peak of the ninth rank, and although he still doesn't know how far he is from becoming a grandmaster, Li Yuan believes that as long as he perseveres, he will eventually break through!
Moreover, he could sense that this day was not far off!
After traveling north for several more days, the seemingly endless snowstorm suddenly stopped.
The sky cleared, revealing its azure color. The sunlight seemed dazzling, reflecting a dry, white light onto the boundless glacier and snowfield.
However, Li Yuan, who was wearing sunglasses, didn't seem to notice anything and was completely unaffected.
After traveling for several more hours, he suddenly realized that the terrain in front of him seemed to have changed!
The endless, flat snowfield ahead was no longer visible; the terrain gradually became more complex, with occasional arched snow hills appearing.
Suddenly, Li Yuan's eyes flickered, and his body abruptly stopped!
Suddenly, a towering snow-capped mountain rose up on the northern horizon!
These snow-capped mountains are majestic and imposing, seemingly standing here since the beginning of time, coldly and calmly awaiting those brave pilgrims.
Looking at the strangely shaped mountain peak gleaming with a cold white light under the distant blue sky, Li Yuan burst into laughter.
However, just in case, he didn't laugh out loud, lest he trigger an avalanche and cause himself unnecessary trouble.
Li Yuan sensed it the moment he saw the peak.
That must be the place he's looking for!
The temple must be there!
The concentration of the earth's natural energy here has suddenly increased by countless levels, to the point that it is so dense that it makes people tremble!
"Hiss... Huff..."
Taking a deep breath of the cool air and exhaling a breath of warm air, Li Yuan strode towards the snow-capped mountain!
