“Fume!”

The flames did not stay on the ice pillar for long. It steamed off into thin air.

The results were as expected.

Ziye said, “I tried too many times in too many ways. The ice pillar will not budge from the outside.”

Xiao Chengfeng did not believe it. He attacked with a sword spell. The ice pillar was still undamaged.

Urchin frowned and asked, “What is this ice? How can it be so solid?”

Daji looked up at the ice pillar. Its height was immeasurable. She asked, “If the ice pillar reached the top, have you tried flying up there?”

“I did. It’s very high!”

Ziye nodded and said, “The highest point… is quite unusual. The ice pillar will vanish.”

“Vanish?”

Everyone looked shocked. Then, they sore through the sky, following the ice pillar.

The ice pillar was high and constant. The surface of the ice was smooth as a mirror without any traces or patterns.

Everyone was speedy but they did not reach the top after an hour.

Thankfully, they did not need to continue. When they reached a certain high point, the ice pillar vanished out of nowhere!

Everyone jolted. They looked down.

They still could not see the ice pillar anywhere.

They flew down a little to be on eye-level with the ice pillar. They looked at the part where the ice pillar vanished.

It was far from the end of the pillar. It was as if… the ice pillar was covered by some sort dimensional seal. In other words, the ice pillar seemed to be something that came out of a different dimension.

The two dimensions were cleanly separated. Therefore, they could only see the part where the pillar reached out. They could not see the other part at all.

Linzhu curiously reached out to touch it. She could still touch the ice pillar. However, the part where it vanished was untouchable, there was nothing unusual there.

She had to say, “So miraculous.”

“It’s not miraculous. We can do that too.”

The Fire Phoenix said, “We landed from the Above Immortal Realm. We can achieve the same effect if only our arms went through.”

Daji nodded, “The ice pillar must be coming from the Heavenly Palace. No wonder it’s called the Heaven from another dimension.”

She groaned for a moment and looked at the Fire Phoenix, “Sister Fire Phoenix, what do you see?”

“Might be a Defense Spell.” The Fire Phoenix sneered, “It’s able to maintain its effects and it’s hard to damage. I’m afraid nothing could do that apart from a Defense Spell.”

She lifted her hand and made a red fiery lotus. The flames were compressed. Soon, it was shining in a golden color. The fire lotus was compressed to the size of a thumb. The flames were turned golden.

The golden flames were little but it was extremely hot, even in the icy lands.

The Fire Phoenix tossed the golden flames on the ice pillar.

The tiny flames focused on one tiny area, the effects were much better.

As time went on, the tiny area of the ice pillar moved. It did not melt but everyone was hopeful.

“It’s for sure a Defense Spell.”

Daji suddenly laughed and said, “No wonder the Master taught me to play the gaming console before I left. It was a meaningful act. This Defense Spell is also a fun game in the eyes of the Master.”

They would be required to deal with Defense Spell no matter if it was going to the Cloud Tribe Sect or the Heavenly Palace.

Li Nianfan invented Xiangqi for them to learn how to deal with Defense Spell, so that they would improve in understanding Defense Spell. Moreover, the gaming console contained all sorts of variety in Defense Spell.

“We followed the expert. Half a month of being around the expert is sufficient enough to figure out the weakness of this spell!”

“The expert is truly a person that is good at miraculous inventions. Garbage could be turned to precious treasures around him.”

The Fire Phoenix nodded and agreed. Then, she said, “This spell must be some kind of Absorption Defense Spell. It will automatically absorb Immortal Qi. Once it was damaged, it will recover on its own. And the recovery is very speedy. That’s why it looks so undamaged.”

Flames danced around her. She had fire in her eyes, “All we have to do is break its roots. It will be easy to break this spell by then!”

Daji said, “Listen to me, everyone. Although I didn’t fully figure out the spell yet, but I can cast an opposite spell to remove all the Immortal Qi. It will greatly reduce its recovery properties!”

“Let’s begin! The Master always wanted to visit the Heavenly Palace!”

“We must try our best for the expert!”

…

At the Cool Breeze Gorge.

Li Nianfan was travelling on his Deluxe Merit Cloud with Black and White Impermanence on his side. They became temporary tour guides. The General of the Bloody Sea and Shura Ghost General were cautious of each other. They were resting, healing, and fighting with their eyes.

The huge gorge was split in half. The split was not neat, it was wonky and disorderly. It kind of looked like the teeth of a huge beast, it looked terrifying.

The cleft was deep. Li Nianfan did not expect to see a curvy river at the bottom of the cleft.

The river was flowing and it was clear. There were pebbles on the sides. The sides of the cleft grew a lot of moss and medical herbs. It was a beautiful oasis.

Dragin saw the river and was instantly thrilled. She ran over there and took off her shoes. She kicked and splashed the water, “Ah, so nice and cool. The water must be from the icebergs.”

Black Impermanence nodded, “That’s right. It flowed from the Jade Snow Mountain on the Northside.”

‘Truly a Carp Demon. So playful in the water.’

Li Nianfan laughed and looked around. He asked curiously, “White, where is the Death Note?”

White Impermanence replied, “Mr. Li, it’s haven’t reappear yet.”

Nanan thought it was weird, she asked, “Haven’t reappear yet? Then how do you know it’s here?”

“Not long ago, odd phenomenon occurred. We got a feeling that it must be the Death Note.”

White Impermanence paused and continued, “Usually, the realm will have changes when rare treasures appear again. Previously at the Underworld, a lot of ultimate treasures do not want to appear. They will only appear when they want to.”

Black Impermanence said coyly, “The realm will give birth to the treasures when the treasures want to reappear again.”

“Then do you know when the Death Note will appear?” Li Nianfan was a realist. He directly asked the most important question.

Black and White Impermanence frowned at the same time. They mumbled, “That… Not sure.”

Li Nianfan had to say, “Odd phenomenon already occurred. What is the realm waiting for? The treasure should reappear now.”

“Buzz!”

As soon as Li Nianfan said that. The realm suddenly changed. Airwaves moved in the air.

A weird aura filled the air. Thin layers of grey mist appeared out of thin air.

‘This… Reappeared?!’

Black and White Impermanence were baffled. They looked at each other with a cluster of emotions.

‘Is it a coincidence?’

‘Most probably not. After all… the expert did not want to wait any longer. Will the Death Note dare to delay its appearance?’

‘It already refrain itself by not directly appearing in the expert’s hands.’

“Boom!”

Then, something erupted in the Cool Breeze Gorge!

A huge book appeared in a weird way.

The book was a huge projection. It was not very thick, it seemed thin. The cover of the book was blue. It was minimalistic and antique. The book figure slowly spun around.

Ghost energy surrounded the book like a circling mist.

Li Nianfan looked at the book, he was pleasantly surprised, “The Death Note reappeared?”

“Yeah… Yes.”

“What are we waiting for? Hurry up and check it out.” Li Nianfan went towards it.

Soon, they were at the deepest part of the Cool Breeze Gorge. It was a small intersection where the rivers meet.

The rivers flowed into an average-sized pond. The pond was gleaming. At the center of the pond, a book that looked like the projection floated on the water!

The book was protected by a halo, it was waterproof. It seemed to bobbing on the water.

They looked at the cover of the book and saw the title at the top right corner. It had three clear words, ‘The Death Note’!

“Is that the Death Note?” Li Nianfan subconsciously licked his lips. He finally saw the legendary item.

“Roar!”

Someone roared amongst the crowd.

A ferocious ghost looked maniacal, it leaped towards the Death Note!

However, a black beam attacked the ghost before it could be near it. The ferocious ghost vanished with a poof in the blink of an eye. It was as if that did not happen at all.

At that moment, all the ghosts who could not wait to go after it suddenly settled down.

The General of the Bloody Sea burst out laughing and said, “Shura, it seems like your minions love to die for no reason!”

Shura Ghost General sounded calm, “Such an idiot. It died for good reason. It did not deserve to be my minion.”

White Impermanence became the temporary explainer. He smiled and said, “For an Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure like that to resurface, it is still connected to the powers of the realm. Thus, it is not stable yet. Going after it would be like a moth drawn to a flame.”

Li Nianfan nodded and silently stared at the Death Note.

Suddenly, the Death Note slowly opened.

It flipped its pages. A black swirl appeared in the sky, overwhelming everyone with its wild winds. They could hardly breathe.

They saw visible thin threads shooting at the Death Note from all sides. The threads merged into the Death Note.

A thread signified a life.

There were too many names. Names flashed by. Li Nianfan could not see clearly. His eyes were hurting and he felt dizzy.

It was as if looking at a computer working at high speed. He could not keep up.

‘Obviously the Death Note reappeared. It needs to re-record all the information of the people to start working again.”

‘Fair enough. It would be unrealistic to rely on handwriting.’

Li Nianfan had to say, “It’s so similar to a computer. Downloading and storing data.”

Black and White Impermanence looked like they did not understand a single word. They could only force a smile at the side and go along with it.

There were too many lives in the realm. The Death Note collected information fast but it had no signs of slowing down. Information kept pouring in. It was endless.

As time went on, the sky had turned dark. It would naturally be boring if they kept staring at the Death Note. Li Nianfan had ran out of patience.

However, the Onis and the ghosts were still intrigued and interested. He did not know how they do it.

Li Nianfan invited the Black and White Impermanence and a few Onis to drink some wine. Then, they also ate dinner. Li Nianfan yawned and picked a spot to rest for the night.

Nanan roughly dug a hole in the canyon. Dragin made a water shield for Li Nianfan.

“That Deluxe Merit Saint finally left.”

Backo was instantly overjoyed in his dark hiding spot. He exclaimed, “He is too scary. We cannot mess with him! Lord Demon, I’ll knock him unconscious and drag him away so he doesn’t get in our way.”

“Come back here now!”

Lord Demon was livid. He dragged Backo and lifted him by the nape. He forcefully shook him, “What are you carrying in that brain of yours? How can you be so stupid?! You knew he is a Deluxe Merit Saint and you wanted to knock him unconscious?! How badly do you want to die?!”

Backo reflected for a long while and finally realized. Then, he looked relieved, “You are right, Lord Demon.”

Lord Demon helplessly brushed it off. He was mentally exhausted, “Alright. Say less. Move and plan. Remember, exclude that Deluxe Merit Saint to ensure safety. We don’t want to touch him.”

“Don’t worry, Lord Demon.”
