Immortal stones were above spirit stones. As the name implied, immortals could use them to cultivate. If the celestial spiritual energy inside was split into spiritual energy, then each stone would be worth at least 10,000 or even 10,000 spirit stones.

However, the meat saintly stage cultivator could only absorb twenty percent of the energy and use it for its own use, even the True Immortals was unable to absorb all of it. On the other hand, some of the Earth-grade magical equipment contained immortal qi, and the Heaven-grade Dharma treasure used immortal qi to build their foundation.

"That's right, it's a low grade immortal stone."

Long Ya was sure that Qin Tian would have such a reaction, he smiled lightly and said: "Legend has it that the Mount Shu Sword Sect in the east of the continent released a name list several hundred years ago, and used twenty Earth Grade flying swords to exchange for twenty Immortal Stones to forge a Supreme Divine Weapon with the power of the Tianji Pavilion. If I were to be lucky enough to get the championship, I want to exchange for the Purple Gold Treasure Sword from the Purple Blue Sword."

Long Ya's expression and words were filled with yearning for the Earth Rank flying sword, but Qin Tian managed to catch a hint of a conspiracy.

This immortal stone was a hard currency even in the Immortal World, so the amount of immortal stones stored in Tian Yuan Continent could be counted on one hand.

Other than the small portion left behind by the ancient times, the majority of them had only sprouted out of a few spatial cracks during these tens of thousands of years. Although the Celestial Sect of Clouds was the most expensive sect in the entire world, it had only taken up a small part of the crack in the Watchful Glacier.

This time, for the sake of just one task of repairing the magical formation, he had lured out an low grade immortal stone. After thinking about it carefully, he knew that there must be something amiss!

"The resources provided for each disciple are as follows. "One Chilling Talisman, one Fire Talisman, one Thunder Talisman, three Spring-Returning Pellets, two antidotes …"

Elder Xue Chen muttered a string of names.

Although they were the most basic equipment, they were essential for travel adventures. Even rarer was that each of them was given ten low-grade spirit stones, presumably to allow the participating disciples to go all out during critical moments when their spirit energy was exhausted.

The disciples who had already reached an agreement to attack and defend the alliance quickly gathered together. The remaining one-third of the lone rangers also looked for companions they found pleasing to the eye.

It was possible that they would land in the periphery of the glacier area, with the worst luck appearing in the depths of the forbidden area. A strong ally would also guarantee their safety, and those disciples who had high cultivations formed together on their own accord. In the end, the majority of them were flesh sage cultivators from the six forces without a backer.

These disciples looked at each other, unwilling to give up, but they could only choose from the best out of the remaining people. Qin Tian and Long Ya smiled at each other, and the two stood a little closer.

The rest of the disciples had heard of Qin Tian's reputation and wanted to get close to him. However, they did not expect that Lv Guan would actually stand forward and say in a strange tone: "Qin Tian, with that cultivation of yours, you dare come?"

Lv Guan's voice wasn't loud enough for everyone present to clearly hear. Those disciples who wanted to join Qin Tian's group immediately stopped.

"Lv Guan."

Qin Tian laughed and replied: You and I have an appointment with the Watchful Glacier, how could I dare not come?

"Then you have to be careful. The iceberg is in danger from all sides, so the demons are in charge. Don't let the demonic beast swallow you in one gulp."

Lv Guan saw that Qin Tian was not in a rush nor was he angry, but he was still unwilling, and continued to speak with a profound tone: "Even if you get swallowed by a demon beast, it's alright, you better not implicate your teammates!"

As they spoke, Lv Guan walked forward and also stood not far from Qin Tian. Even though he did not say it out loud, everyone could tell that Lv Guan was waiting for an opportunity to kill Qin Tian.

"You have to be careful. I heard that there's a type of Ice Ape in the glacier. The one you like the most is a young master with tender skin like yourself …"

Qin Tian smacked his lips, and his words caused everyone to burst out into laughter.

Lv Guan naturally knew what Qin Tian was referring to and his face turned completely red. He snorted lightly and then closed his mouth, only leaving behind the evil glint that continuously flashed past his eyes.

Although the two of them did not erupt, they had already arranged for a battle. It was likely that there would be many conflicts along the way. The disciples that participated in the mission did not want to cause any trouble and kept their distance.

A total of ten squads of ten people. Aside from Qin Tian, Long Ya and Lv Guan, there were only five other teams left, who could barely make it to the top.

At this moment, an azure ray of light flashed, and an additional person appeared at the third floor's entrance.

This person was eight feet tall. Although he was plain and unadorned, he still exuded a dignified air. His face was full of righteousness, and he wore a golden silk robe. There were eight golden colored clouds on his robe.

This was a peak Earth Immortal!

"Isn't this Senior Brother Liu Ye from the inner sect?!"

Someone recognized the man.

His name was Liu Ye and he was only thirty-five or sixteen years old this year. He was the direct disciple of one of the nine great protectors of the Celestial Sect of Clouds, Elder Wang.

What was even more worthy of respect was that Senior Brother Liu Ye was only a scum that followed Wang Sun, Gui, and entered the Immortal Mountain together. Because of the meritorious service provided by the protector, he was brought into the Immortal Sect, and was also chosen by the protector elder to obtain this great fortune.

Since then, Liu Ye diligently trained, ignored everything outside the window, and after ten years, he left the Immortal City, and reached the Earthly Paradise Realm.

After three years of travelling, who knew where they got their good fortune. When they returned to the Immortal Mountain, they were at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm. They were destined to ascend the path of Immortality and live a blissful life.

Xue Chen and Lin Feng, the two elders, had also been promoted from the inner sect disciples to the Elders Guild. Even though they were already in a high position, they couldn't help but greet Liu Ye when they saw him.

Liu Ye did not have any airs of arrogance, he must have a rather deep personality, so he waved his hand and said: "I heard that the purpose of this large-scale mission is to repair the formation that is guarding the glacier, and coincidentally, in the past few days I have needed a batch of high grade ice crystals, can you allow me to go with you?"

With these words, some people noticed that something was amiss.

This Senior Brother Liu Ye was already at the eighth level of the Earthly Immortal Stage. If he wanted to go to the Waring Immortal Peak, he could go in and out of seven or seven places with his eyes closed. He did not need to fear the Cloud's Great Defensive Formation and the demons and ghosts that the Sect Leader had personally set up, so why would he need to borrow the power of the Teleportation Formation with these disciples?

Furthermore, although high grade ice crystals were considered precious materials, they should still be stored in the Celestial Sect of Clouds Exchange's warehouse. As an inner disciple, not to mention exchanging them for contribution points, no one would talk about it even if they gave it to Liu Ye.

But now that Liu Ye had already spoken, the two elders Xue Chen and Lin Feng looked at each other and nodded helplessly. Then, they said, "Senior Brother Liu Ye's trip would be an additional guarantee.

"Naturally."

Liu Ye nodded, and looked around.

The cultivators who had already formed their squads all looked forward to it, they wished for Liu Ye to join their squads. Although he would not interfere in the process of the mission, he would not be completely indifferent to it, just helping out during the process would save him a lot of energy.

With that, he walked to Qin Tian's side.

Qin Tian only felt a strong aura rush over, it was countless times stronger than that of the Earthly Immortal Ink Dyeing. He was overjoyed, but at the same time, there was endless worry.

Subsequently, the two elders, Xue and Lin, fiercely stomped their feet. An impatient air current gushed out from their feet, blowing the silk robe and whiskers everywhere. The two elders unceasingly formed strange hand seals in the storm, accompanied by obscure and profound incantations.

In the eye of the storm, a magnificent stream of light surged out and quickly spread to every corner of this floor. Not long after, they came together. Surprisingly, it was a small-scale teleportation formation.

"So a formation has already been set up here!"

Qin Tian was shocked again.

"Next up, we might encounter spatial turbulence. Those who have congealing force will condense congealing force and those who have protective qi will use it to protect themselves."

Liu Ye laughed softly and said: "If there's nothing, then I wish you good luck!"

As the sound of his voice faded, the crowd felt their vision darken. They only felt as if their bodies were being torn apart by a powerful force and were instantly sucked into the void.

Streams of light flashed as Qin Tian activated his protective force long ago.

Fortunately, the pressure had only lasted for the span of ten breaths, and after that, Qin Tian felt his body lighten as he fell into a ball of ice.

From within the snow, Senior Brother Liu Ye's voice resounded beside his ears: "Besides these two who fainted, the rest are not bad."

Qin Tian suddenly raised his head, shaking off the snow on his beard. The white sky gave people a kind of visual stimulation, and when he recovered, most of the people around him had also rested.

"Senior Brother Liu Ye."

Long Ya's face slightly paled.

She took out the Chilling Talisman and ignited it with her spirit energy before exhaling some white smoke. "Which part of the glacier did we land in?" she asked.

Hearing that, Liu Ye looked at Long Ya with praise, and replied: "Although I have been here to watch over the glaciers a few times, the forbidden area is extremely big, and is even larger than the territory of a normal kingdom.

When the rest of the team heard this news, they couldn't help but shrink back. On one hand, the temperature of this glacier was too low, and on the other hand, there was fear in their hearts.

This Watchful Glacier was originally just an ordinary part of the Tian Yuan Continent, because after the calamity that occurred billions of years ago, the human cultivator group had sent off the Guardian Spirit Beast. The spatial crack left behind by the Guardian Spirit had not disappeared for a long time, and countless destructive auras surged in, followed by medicinal herbs, ores, immortal stones, and demons and devils.

"I heard that five True Immortals of the Immortal Alliance joined forces to set up a grand formation to seal this Forbidden Land of Ice forever."

Qin Tian seized the opportunity to get to know more and continued his conversation.

After registering, Qin Tian had communicated with the beasts in the garden before. The glacier that was placed in their mouths was an extremely terrifying place, but they did not know the origin of the Celestial Sect of Clouds from this forbidden grounds.

Liu Ye also gave Qin Tian a profound look, and said: "Don't think that this is just a forbidden land, we spent a lot of effort to win in the Celestial Sect, and occupied this territory!"

The Celestial Sect Tournament was held once every three years, and was meant to be used for sparring. Every twenty episodes would be the grand competition of a sixty-year cycle, which would affect the division of resources in the Tian Yuan Continent.

However, Liu Ye's words caused everyone to be confused, and when Lv Guan saw that the ones who asked the questions were praised, he stood out: "Then Senior Brother Liu Ye, what is the meaning of our Celestial Sect of Clouds winning this land?"

Liu Ye was also from a servant's background like Qin Tian. To be able to achieve his current level of achievements, other than his own hard work, everything else was given to him by the Celestial Sect of Clouds.

"Of course it does."

Liu Ye raised his head and laughed: "There are many spatial cracks that cannot be healed in the Watchful Glacier. Every year, the amount of herbs, ores and even treasures that come out are about the same, and the level is much higher than the ones produced in Tian Yuan Continent! In addition to that, the nine Guardian Elders had even joined forces with the Sect Leader to set up a complex and profound array formation, bringing a bit of that tyrannical aura into the Misty Nine Peaks, creating nine Blessed Paradises! A day of cultivation there is equivalent to a month of cultivation outside! "

It was not the great hall of the Immortal City, but the hall of the ethereal nine peaks's Protector Elders instead.

"No wonder that disciple under the protection of the Elder's tutelage practices so quickly. He's actually an existence from the Blessed Paradise!"

"I must rapidly increase my strength. When I become a new disciple in the future, I will also experience the mysteries of this Blessed Land!"

"Looks like this mission is no small matter. Since it has to do with the foundation of our sect, we must put in all our effort!"

"…"
