White String could not complain about how cold the air in the Frozen Andes Mountains Range was. After all, that is the reason why this place is called Frozen Andes.
It seems like his luck is not very good at the moment. There was a General Spirit Beast in the shape of a snowman right in front of him.
The Snowman in front of him possessed the equivalent strength of a 10th Heavenly Qi Realm, the same as him. This creature was enough to put himself in danger because the average beast could fight against the cultivation power above his realm.
From the looks of it, this Snowman was guarding something that White String did not yet know. Snowman was running towards him.
White String immediately drew his silver sword, the same sword he used against Feng ShuiYue, the Black Blade. Fortunately this sword had regeneration abilities, so it could still be used.
Before the Snowman approached him, the creature suddenly turned around and ran towards the direction he was coming from. Not knowing what possessed him, White String instead followed the Snowman.
White String could see that the creature had entered a cave on one of the cliffs. Due to the difficult topography of the region, he wouldn't have found it if he hadn't followed Snowman.
The inside of the cave was quite dark and spacious. The dust that had piled up was quite thick, indicating that no one had lived in the cave in recent times.
Where did the Snowman go? He obviously saw him come in here.
White String went around the cave for quite a while. But haven't found anything yet. But when using Spiritual Perception, he managed to find something.
“So my goal is circling around in this place for what if it can be completed with Spiritual Perception?” White String mocked himself. Using Spiritual Perception could indeed not be careless as it was extremely draining of soul energy.
In one corner of the cave, there was a piece of tombstone that stood upright. This tombstone was also the main destination of the White String to the Frozen Andes Mountains Range.
“Well, how to open it?”
White String only remembered that there was something hidden here. But he doesn't know how to get in.

A new year was approaching, and the Thousand Swords Mountain Sect was preparing to celebrate. They had absolutely no idea that the Blood Bat Sect was planning to destroy them.
(The new year here is made on January 1, so it's easy.)
Lanterns hung in front of almost all the doors in the Thousand Swords Mountain Sect. Various red and gold colored decorations are also not left behind to color the big celebration once a year.
On the edge of the lake, a house is also not left behind to celebrate the new year. Although the decoration is quite simple, but it is enough to express happiness at the turn of the year.
“New year has arrived, please make your wish!” exclaim Ji Lingling and Yun Yuanling while wearing clothes from the Han Dynasty. It seems they have made a group of strange people.
“Heh, you are so excited. By the way, your clothes are good,” praise Xiao XiQian.
“Thank you, Qianqian. What are your hopes for the coming year?”
“These years will be very different from the previous year. I hope that I can win the Dragons and Fairies Scroll in the coming year,” Chu Lian replied in an ambitious tone.
Liu Gu looked at Chu Lian in admiration. Not many people can dream that far. Because, getting into the Dragons and Fairies Scroll list alone was already very difficult.
Of course, that only applies to ordinary people. With his innate talent and background that was the Martial Family, it was still impossible for him to enter the Dragons and Fairies Scroll list.
Every three years, the younger generation from all corners of the Shu Empire would compete on the arena.
Either free cultivators or those belonging to the sects could attend this tournament as long as it was able to reach the 1st Emperor Qi Realm realm before twenty-five years old.
Of course, everyone who had the qualifications to join was stronger than average cultivators of the same level. Let alone geniuses from large families and sects.
What Dragons and Fairies Scroll meant was the two hundred strongest and most talented people in the tournament.
It's a little unfair to say the strongest. Since the use of artifacts was unrestricted, few were able to climb with his own strength.
Currently, Chu Lian and the others were still at the fourth Monarch Qi Realm realm. Since the Dragons and Fairies Scroll was held in mid-spring, it meant that they had to level up to the Emperor Qi Realm in four months.
In a normal perspective, this is impossible. Unless they can cheat smoothly.
“Then, what if we ask Laoshi for help? He can definitely help us,” Liu Xinxian's proposal that was immediately approved by everyone.
Ah, it seems that it needs to be revised for this side character development.

The Frozen Andes Mountains Range.
“...only need one last inscription line and finally open!”
White String carefully placed the scratches with his brush on the tombstone. After that last scratch, the entire random streak seemed to be connected to each other and shone.
A small explosion occurred and the White String arrived in another world. More precisely another folded space.
Folded space is indeed rare, but the main character's luck is heaven-blessed. So it wouldn't be strange if there were two or three more folded spaces.
The sky was shining brightly with an orange sun burning in the sky. Then there's a gentle breeze...
Unless there was a horde of General Spirit Beasts running towards him. A gentle breeze was created from their footsteps.
“Haha, is this what the main character's luck means is heaven blessed? Author, little more funny.”
Ah, sorry, it's not an empty joke.
My finger slipped.
After all, that horde of Snowman-type General Spirit Beasts was not running towards White String. But something behind him.
✾✾✾
Seriate.
Kidding, okay? The author is trying out a new style of writing.
A little girl is seen playing with the snowmen.
Her face was round, her cheeks were translucent, her jade hands and her little fingers, as well as the black hair with red hairpins it perfectly matched the simple yellow shirt attached to her tiny body.
His smile broke as he played and hugged the snowmen. Her happy face was like the sun melting snow on the first day of spring.
The cute girl was busy playing so that not hearing her name had been called out many times.
“Mei’er, until when will you play? Let's go home!”
One time, no response.
“Mei’er, let's go home!”
Twice, not ignored.
“Ah May my sweet sister, let's go home!”
Three times, not hosed.
“MEI’ER!”
For the fourth time, a hand pulled the cute girl's little ear.
“Gege, sick. Quickly release, later my earlobe comes off!” protest the cute girl who does not accept.
“Aun ears' will be able to grow again, it's fine to take off twice,” said someone who surprised them.
“Ah! A little more funny.... GHOST!!”
So there was no idea, two people, a boy and a cute girl were running without regard to direction.
Nope, anyway. There is no idea that the author whose brain is filled with equations and permutations of numbers.
But it seems like a natural reaction if suddenly there is a white creature near you. It was also wrong White String himself who wore all-white clothes.
Although not to blame because everyone's clothing tastes are different, he even more looks like a ghost.
It's only natural that they're afraid.
“Hai..” White String sighed looking at the two creatures running further and further away from him.
In fact, White String thins its existence to the point of being invisible when it sees a group of snowmen. But he forgot to take it off so surprised the two children.
He waved his hand and called out to DiaoFei. Now, his boring blank look was no longer too frightening.
“Wah, it looks like your luck blessed the sky, White String! Look at this folded space! If added into the Star Realm in your hand, it will definitely be great!” DiaoFei exclaimed like a child who had just gotten a toy.
White String nodded. But he had a question, “Here I saw two children. Do you know more about the creatures that live in folded spaces?”
DiaoFei looks interested, “If you explain more details, maybe I know something.”
“Well, they ran away when they saw me. For details, they look old despite the appearance of children, their auras are almost indistinguishable from ordinary humans, and also their auras are capable of taming Magical Beasts,” White String explained briefly.
DiaoFei. “There again? Like, their appearance?” ask DiaoFei.
White String did not pay much attention to appearances as his focus was locked onto the auras of the two of them, but he could still remember them.
“Entah, they look 'beautiful'. And also have slightly pointed ears.”
“White String, that was definitely a rare Wood Spirit! Do you know?” diaoFei exclaimed as he shook White String's shoulder.
It was just Wood Spirit, then what? Anyways...
“... supposedly they are extinct,” reply White String briefly.
“O-oh.”
