Chapter 568 Aurora the Frost-Souled (Person Name)

In the grand hall, a female cultivator of unparalleled beauty had been waiting for quite some time. This was none other than the Frost Fairy Ling, whose cultivation had astonishingly reached the Nascent Soul, 8th Tier (Cultivation Realm).

The Frost Fairy Ling's eyes flickered slightly at the sight of the 2, then she smiled. "Please, have a seat."

The 3 of them sat facing each other. Only then did Fairy Lingshuang speak with detached calmness, "Brother Tianji wrote in his letter that the 2 of you possess extraordinary talent, with the potential to become Dao Lords of the Primordial Spirit. I must admit I was somewhat skeptical, but now that I've met you in person, I see his words were far from empty flattery."

"You flatter me, Fairy."

Eldrin smiled faintly and said humbly, "Compared to late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators like yourselves, we 2 still have a long way to go."

"We are all of the same generation, so why must we distinguish between superior and inferior?"

Ling Shuang Xian Zi (Person Name) spoke with detached calm, "According to Tian Ji Xiong's (Person Name) letter, your purpose in coming is to entrust me with locating someone."

"Exactly so."

Eldrin nodded, then handed over Lila's portrait along with the general intelligence to Frost Fairy Ling.

After examining it carefully, the Frost Fairy nodded and said, "Very well. You may stay at the Drifting Snow Palace for some time while I inquire whether there is any news of her."

"In that case, I offer my sincere gratitude as well."

Eldrin (Person Name) hastily rose to his feet to express gratitude. With her aloof demeanor, the Frostfeather Immortal (Person Name) did not prolong their stay as guests and promptly escorted them out of the grand hall.

After departing, Eldrin glanced back at the great hall before saying to Lyra, "Alas, I hope this journey proceeds smoothly. Otherwise, searching for someone across these 100 million snow plains would be no different from fishing for a needle in the ocean."

"Don't worry. With the influence of the Palace of Drifting Snow, locating someone in the Northern Plains is far easier for them than for us. They will undoubtedly find Lila (Person Name)."

Lyra took his hand and spoke in a soothing tone.

Indeed, the Palace of Drifting Snow did not disappoint the 2. After quietly waiting for 3 days, the Frost Fairy Ling personally summoned Eldrin and his companion.

After meeting the 2, the Eldrin (Person Name) spoke first: "The person you seek did indeed visit our Drifting Snow Palace."

Back then, when she arrived at our Floating Snow Palace via the teleportation array, she had even sought to purchase the Ice Vein Spirit Jade from us. However, she lacked sufficient Heavenly Crystal (Spiritual Object) and ultimately lingered around the palace for several months before departing.

"Oh?" Eldrin exchanged a glance with Lyra, unable to restrain his urgency as he asked, "Do you know where she went?"

"Back then, she went to the 'Heavenly Mountain'. Perhaps you should visit the Heavenly Mountain to learn more."

Knowing that the 2 had just arrived in the Northern Plains, the Frost Fairy Ling added, "The Heavenly Mountain is 1 of the 20-7 renowned peaks in the Far North Ice Plains. I believe she went there for the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root)."

Eldrin's gaze sharpened slightly. The moment of celestial resonance had occurred over 50 years ago, whereas Lila had already arrived at the Extreme Northern Glacier for more than 1 100 years.

In other words, Lila (Person Name) had likely been active near the Heavenly Mountains for over 1 100 years. Therefore, even if Lila (Person Name) has departed now, significant traces of her presence should remain.

After all, with her superior Golden Core aptitude, had she ventured through any territory for a 100 years, she would have undoubtedly forged a renowned reputation across an entire continent.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin cupped his hands and said, "Many thanks for your assistance, Fairy. I shall remember this debt of gratitude. Should you ever journey to the Eastern Wastelands in the future, do not hesitate to seek my aid if needed."

The Frost Fairy Ling smiled faintly and said with detached grace, "Such trivial matters hardly constitute a favor. If you wish to express gratitude, direct it toward Eldrin (Person Name)."

After bidding farewell to Fairy Lingshuang, Eldrin did not linger for long. He immediately took the teleportation array heading toward the direction of the Heavenly Mountains.

Within the Eastern Wastelands (Location), humanity occupied 6 domains and 8 100 great provinces. The human sphere of influence in the extreme northern ice plains was somewhat smaller, yet it still comprised 4 domains and 5 100 provinces.

These 4 ancient domains were respectively the Drifting Snow Ancient Domain, the Wang Ancient Domain, the Glacier River Ancient Domain, and the Snow Mountain Ancient Domain.

That day, the Heavenly Mountain stood within the Snowy Mountain Ancient Domain among the 4 realms, a full 100 million li away from the Blizzard Ancient Domain of the Blizzard Palace.

The 2 traveled via teleportation arrays and soon entered the ancient domain of the snow-capped mountains, then made their way to the Celestial Mountains after several transfers.

"Is this the Heavenly Mountain?"

Eldrin stood before the Celestial Mountain, gazing at its majestic and imposing form as a trace of solemnity unconsciously surfaced in his expression.

Compared to the Heaven's Spine Mountains (Location) of the 3 Veils Ancient Domain, the celestial mountain before them appeared even more majestic and magnificent, radiating a grander and more breathtaking splendor.

The Heavenly Mountains stretched for tens of millions of miles, spanning 7 or 8 continents. With 1 quasi-sixth-tier earth vein and multiple fifth-tier spirit veins running through them, they could be considered the core region of the surrounding continents.

"Something is wrong. Why is there still no resonance?"

Eldrin retrieved the Soul-Tracking Talisman and focused his senses upon it. His brow furrowed slightly, a grave expression settling across his features.

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) felt her heart sink slightly, but she still reassured, "The Heavenly Mountains stretch for tens of millions of miles. Perhaps Lila (Person Name) remains within the Soul-Chasing Talisman's sensing range."

"Let us venture into the Celestial Mountains first, find someone to gather information, and see if there's any news of Lila (Person Name)."

"So be it."

Eldrin sighed softly, "I was afraid Lila might have departed after achieving communion with the celestial realm. Had she left, tracking her down again would have required considerably more effort."

The 2 entered the Tianshan Mountains and immediately began gathering information. In truth, locating a high-level cultivator like Lila (Person Name) was considerably simpler once her approximate whereabouts were identified.

In the Tian Shan Mountains, Eldrin (Person Name) discovered an ancient Golden Core immortal clan with a long-standing heritage and summoned its Golden Core clan leader.

Although the clan leader’s cultivation had reached the Golden Core, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm), he was still startled at the sight of the 2. With a hint of unease, he asked, “May I ask what brings you 2 esteemed seniors to seek me out?”

"Do not be alarmed. I seek you only to ask a few questions."

Eldrin spoke with an air of detachment before inquiring, "Are you aware whether any Golden Core cultivators with an external Ice Spiritual Root have sought secluded cultivation in these Celestial Mountains over the past 2 100 years?"

"An external Golden Core cultivator with an Ice Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root)?"

The Golden Core Clan Master was slightly taken aback, then said thoughtfully, "Among the Golden Core cultivators with variant spiritual roots in the Northern Plains, those with Ice Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) are the most numerous. I'd wager there are over a 100 of them across the Tianshan Mountains alone."

"However, if we're talking about Golden Cores formed by external Ice Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) within the last 2 centuries, then the scope becomes much narrower. Senior, please allow me to compile the relevant records for you."

The Golden Core Clan Leader then returned to his people, tallied the Golden Core cultivators in the Celestial Mountains who met the criteria, and handed the list to Eldrin (Person Name).

Eldrin glanced at the record and discovered that over the past 2 100 years, only 7 Golden Core cultivators possessing the Ice Spiritual Root had emerged from the foreign Tian Mountain. Among these 7, 4 had relatively clear backgrounds, leaving merely 3 who met Lila's criteria.

Among the 3, 2 were merely ordinary Golden Core cultivators in terms of combat prowess, while the pressure emanating from the last 1 aligned with Lila's conditions.

The woman was known as Aurora the Frost-Souled (Person Name), rumored to have come from the Eastern Wastelands (Location). It was said her cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm,

As the 2 of them were looking through the information on Aurora the Frost-Souled (Person Name), the Golden Core Clan Master added from the side, "That Aurora the Frost-Souled (Person Name) possesses extraordinary power. Her signature supernatural ability is called the Divine Light of Ice Soul, and her lifebound immortal sword is known as the Frost Gleam Sword of the Ice Soul."
