Chapter 133: Transmigration into the Snow Region (Part 2)

The team moved further and further away, and the towering mountains of the Xuanyin Qin Sect had already transformed into a simple outline behind them, disappearing into the rolling mountain ranges.

The clouds and mist in the sky gradually dispersed, and the horizon turned slightly white. The hundred Disciples on the expedition marched in unison, their Aura magnificent.

Lin Fan walked at the back of the team, his white clothes fluttering in the wind, his gaze deep as he looked at this vast team.

Suddenly, a thought emerged in Lin Fan's mind. This trip was extremely dangerous, perhaps he could take this opportunity to accept some relevant missions and obtain greater rewards.

Thus, he called out in his heart: "Xiao Du, Xiao Du, quickly check if there are any missions related to this expedition, get me one with rich rewards."

A soft and cute voice immediately sounded: "Okay, Master, I will arrange it for you immediately, please wait a moment."

A moment later, Xiao Du's voice sounded again: "Master, I have found a high-difficulty mission related to this expedition. The mission objective is related to our destination for this trip—the 'Cliff of Starry Sea' in the Northern Region's Nether Ghost Realm. Do you need a detailed explanation?"

Lin Fan nodded, signaling for it to continue.

Xiao Du began to explain: "The destination of this trip, the 'Cliff of Starry Sea', is an extremely dangerous place within the Northern Region's Nether Ghost Realm. It is rumored that a thousand years ago, a Senior known as the 'Star Sea Zither Saint' once went into closed-door meditation here, attempting to break through to the Body Integration Stage. However, due to a sudden change in the Laws of Heaven and Earth, she failed to Breakthrough, ultimately perishing and being buried here."

Lin Fan listened, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"The most critical point is," Xiao Du continued, "the Star Sea Zither Saint possessed a peerless treasure, the star ancient zither. This treasure is connected to the stars of heaven and earth, containing endless Star Power, and was her instrument of fame back then. Now, the star ancient zither has reappeared in the world, and it is rumored that its appearance has attracted the attention of major forces. The Sect is sending you to the Cliff of Starry Sea this time precisely because of this treasure."

Xiao Du then displayed several related missions in Lin Fan's mind:

Mission 1: Seize the star ancient zither

Mission Objective: Find and seize the star ancient zither, and bring it back to the Sect safely.

Reward: High-tier item "Star Cloud Ring", a large amount of Spirit Stones, plus 10,000 System Merit Points.

Difficulty: S-Rank (Extremely High Danger)

Mission 2: Explore the Cliff of Starry Sea

Mission Objective: Enter the core area of the Cliff of Starry Sea, explore the Zither Saint's ruins, and obtain clues regarding the Zither Saint's failed Breakthrough.

Reward: Incomplete Manual of the Cultivation Technique left behind by the Star Sea Zither Saint, some Spirit Stones, 5,000 System Merit Points.

Difficulty: A-Rank (High Danger)

Mission 3: Escort Disciples to return safely

Mission Objective: While completing the mission, ensure at least 80% of the Xuanyin Qin Sect Disciples return to the Sect safely.

Reward: Rare healing Medicinal Pill, 3,000 System Merit Points.

Difficulty: B-Rank (Medium Danger)

Lin Fan quickly analyzed the difficulty and rewards of these three missions in his mind, his gaze flickering.

"Master, which one would you like to choose?" Xiao Du's voice sounded again.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Fan suddenly realized—these three missions did not seem to conflict.

The corners of Lin Fan's mouth curled up slightly, and a bold idea emerged in his heart: "I can accept all three of these missions."

"Ding—The exclusive 'Indescribable' privilege has taken effect. There is nothing I cannot do, there is nothing I am not allowed to do."

As these words fell, Lin Fan felt a special energy surging within his body.

The restriction on accepting missions was broken in an instant, and three rays of light descended from the Void Realm, instantly merging into Lin Fan's Sea of Consciousness.

"Breakthrough mission acceptance restriction, successfully accepted three missions." Xiao Du's voice came with a touch of amazement.

Lin Fan couldn't help but let out a strange laugh, sounding like a duck-like quacking, his heart full of smugness: "This 'Indescribable' privilege is really useful."

Just as he was immersed in his smugness, the three princesses next to him—Yin Miaoxue, Princess Hu Qinlan, and Princess Jin Xuan—approached with little stars in their eyes, curiously asking: "Old Ancestor, what are you laughing about?"

Ever since they recognized Lin Fan as their Old Ancestor, the three of them had been almost inseparable, following him at all times.

After all, the person before them was a super-powerful expert who had defeated the Yao Emperor and the Ghost Emperor with his own strength back in the day! Not only was his strength earth-shattering, but he was also incomparably kind to the common people, and incredibly gentle and considerate to women.

Such a hero naturally made them feel admiration.

Lin Fan was pulled back to reality by the three princesses' questions. Realizing his earlier lapse in composure, he gave a slight cough to cover up the smug laughter from just a moment ago: "Nothing, nothing."

Yin Miaoxue frowned, still curious: "Old Ancestor, you seem to be in a very good mood, is there some good news?"

Lin Fan smiled, his gaze remaining as calm as water: "I just thought of some interesting things, no need to worry about it."

As he spoke, he continued to look into the distance, regaining his air of indifference and composure.

The three princesses looked at each other, admiring Lin Fan's unfathomable nature even more.

By Lin Fan's side, they felt safe and warm every moment, looking forward to witnessing the Old Ancestor's demeanor during this expedition.

Lin Chen was at the very front, leading the team in flying through the air, breaking through the sky, skimming past layers of clouds and mist. Three days later, they gradually left the Southern Region's border.

In the evening, as the sun set, the horizon was stained a fiery red, but the scenery ahead was already covered in white snow, gradually revealing an endless, vast Snow Region.

This was the no-man's-land Snow Region. Cold winds howled, and the surroundings were silent. Extremely powerful Yao Beasts lurked here, and generally, no one would venture deep inside.

This time, Lin Chen and the others had to pass straight through the Snow Region to reach the Nether Ghost Realm. The danger was self-evident.

Everyone raised their alertness, cautiously bypassing the territories occupied by Yao Beasts, and traveled through quickly.

After winding and turning, and traveling cautiously for several days, Lin Fan's expression suddenly tightened.

Through the Void Realm, he captured several hidden Auras in the distance; a few teams were quietly approaching them.

These people were secretive in their movements, deliberately suppressing their Auras, but no matter how well hidden, they still could not escape Lin Fan's keen detection.

Lin Fan's gaze turned sharp, and he immediately sent a voice transmission to Lin Chen: "Lin Chen, there is a situation ahead, have the team be on alert!"

Lin Chen was leading the way at the front, but the sudden voice made her heart skip a beat. The voice was unfamiliar, but the scene was familiar, just like Lin Fan used to be.

She even had an illusion that this was Lin Fan. But reason told her that this was the Sect's Old Ancestor.

Lin Chen gently raised her slender palm: "There is a situation ahead! All Disciples, be on alert!"

Before her voice had even faded, the entire team reacted immediately.

The guardian-type Disciples quickly dispersed, forming a defensive formation, protecting the perimeter flawlessly. The three princesses—Yin Miaoxue, Princess Hu Qinlan, and Princess Jin Xuan—also braced themselves, looking into the distance with vigilant gazes.

Princess Hu Qinlan frowned slightly and asked in a low voice: "Lin Chen, who is ahead?"

Lin Chen's eyes, like stars, stared ahead: "Friend or foe is unclear, they might be coming for us. The Snow Region is inherently a dangerous place, everyone be prepared."

In the back row, Lin Fan quietly mobilized his spiritual power, seemingly suppressing his Aura to the Golden Core Peak, his expression natural.

But in fact, Lin Fan's current cultivation base was just Golden Core Peak; it wasn't suppressed at all.

A cold wind blew, and the world seemed to become even quieter. Snowflakes flew, and there was an undercurrent surging faintly.

The team continued to move forward, everyone holding their breath and focusing, waiting quietly for the impending activity.
