’Seven Extremes Ancestor?’ Qin Feng’s brow furrowed. He had heard the name before; the Seven Extremes Ancestor was a giant who ran rampant during the Ancient Era. Although he never claimed the title of emperor, some experts had pointed out that his combat strength was on par with the Nine Great Demon Emperors.

Liu Canyang had actually obtained the legacy of the Seven Extremes Ancestor. His luck was simply astounding.

Qin Feng’s gaze grew solemn. ’This is a terrifying potential enemy.’

Du Pingxia chatted briefly with Qin Feng. Then, a young woman hurried up from down the steps and whispered something in Du Pingxia’s ear. Du Pingxia’s eyes lit up. He left an address for Qin Feng and then hastily disappeared over the mountain peak with the young woman.

Qin Feng guessed that Du Pingxia had probably found a clue to the Eighth Palace.

The Snowfield was boundless, and both the Eighth and Ninth Palaces were shrouded in mystery. The Eighth Palace was said to be located within the ruins of the Lingxu Sect, an incredibly well-hidden place fraught with unknown dangers. Finding it would take a great deal of time.

But for now, this had nothing to do with Qin Feng. His current goal was the Seventh Palace.

After Du Pingxia left, Qin Feng rested for a bit.

He sat cross-legged on the steps, surrounded by the howling wind and snow. He continuously drew Primordial Qi from the Void through the Bridge of Heaven and Earth to restore his Cultivation.

The *Innate Primordial Qi* was a top-tier Martial Arts Foundation Establishment Technique. When he broke through to the Innate Realm, his foundation was profound, which allowed him to draw more Primordial Qi from the Void than an ordinary Innate Martial Artist.

However, the amount of Primordial Qi an Innate Martial Artist could draw from the Void was limited. A Martial Artist from the Spirit Sea Continent had once said that the Bridge of Heaven and Earth was divided into four classes: the Innate Bamboo Bridge, the Condensing Vein Jade Bridge, the Sea of Reincarnation Gold Bridge, and the Reincarnation Divine Bridge. Without a doubt, the higher the quality of one’s Bridge of Heaven and Earth, the more Primordial Qi could be drawn from the Void. Unfortunately, one only barely opened the Bridge of Heaven and Earth upon reaching the Innate Realm. At this stage, the bridge was extremely fragile and could only draw a small amount of Void Essence Qi, which was why it was called the Bamboo Bridge.

However, Qin Feng could feel that his ability to draw Primordial Qi from the Void was currently much stronger than that of an ordinary Innate Martial Artist.

Most Innate Martial Artists could only draw mere wisps and strands of Primordial Qi from the Void, yet for Qin Feng, it currently felt like a small stream.

A gurgling stream of Void Essence Qi flowed out from some unseen cave in the Void and into his physical body. After a hundred breaths, his Innate Primordial True Qi was completely restored.

The gurgling Innate Primordial True Qi flowed through his Circulation Meridians, soothing his hidden injuries and transforming into a source of life that washed away the impurities and filth within his body.

Qin Feng’s lips parted slightly, and he exhaled a puff of nauseating, foul-smelling gray smoke.

A moment later, Qin Feng stood up, feeling refreshed and clear-headed. He discovered that after the battle, his Innate Primordial True Qi had even improved slightly.

The only thing that pained him was that the Mystic Turtle Divine Pill had once again lost a tenth of its medicinal properties.

However, during this recovery, a strange feeling came over him. He felt that he had gained a new, previously undiscovered understanding of the flow of water vapor in the Void.

Qin Feng had an intuition that sooner or later, he would be able to freely control this water vapor.

The feeling was bizarre. It had come abruptly, as if born from nothing, but it felt very real!

’It must be because I’ve assimilated the Black Tortoise Essence Blood!’ Standing on the spot, Qin Feng speculated.

The Mystic Turtle Divine Pill was refined using an unborn Mystic Turtle Divine Egg as a medicinal catalyst. The pill’s properties had perfectly merged with Qin Feng’s body, and to some extent, he had obtained a trace of Black Tortoise Divine Power.

The Black Tortoise is the Origin Divine Beast of the north among the Four Spirit Beasts, which governs all waters. Controlling the oceans is the instinct of a Black Tortoise Divine Beast.

Ten breaths later, Qin Feng appeared in the Seventh Palace, the Silver Palace.

Before the Divine Altar, countless snow lotus petals drifted down. Streams of soft light flowed, gradually coalescing into the beautiful figure of a tall, graceful woman.

This was a woman, a beautiful woman, dressed in a pale white palace gown. Her simple elegance gave her an otherworldly air, and her hair, as black as ink jade, was simply tied in a flying immortal bun.

Splendor radiated from her beautiful eyes as they moved, and a faint smile played upon her red lips.

The elegant beauty in the palace gown pointed a finger, and a pure-white longsword materialized amidst the weaving petals.

This was a terrifying expert. From the aura flowing around her, Qin Feng could tell she was absolutely an expert who had condensed a Martial Dao Embryo.

Looking at the black-robed youth whose eyes showed a look of amazement, the woman in the palace gown smiled faintly, her eyes dancing. "Little fellow, I am Venerable Xuelian, the Guardian of the Seventh Palace. I preside over this palace, and the rules are simple: withstand three of my moves! If you do, you pass!"

’Three moves?’ Qin Feng pursed his lips. A Martial Artist at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven couldn’t even take a single blow from a Condensing Vein Realm expert, let alone three.

Condensing Vein experts had already stepped into the Divine Domain and possessed all sorts of incredible abilities. They could sever rivers with a mere gesture, something a Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven Martial Artist couldn’t even dream of challenging.

Unless Qin Feng comprehended the Tenth Wave of the Tidal Extinction Sword, he wouldn’t stand a chance of matching the Venerable Xuelian before him; otherwise, he had no hope of victory.

As if reading his mind, Venerable Xuelian said, "Of course, I will suppress my strength. I will only use one-twentieth of my power, fighting only with the Cultivation of the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Middle Stage!"

’Martial Arts Ninth Layer Middle Stage?’ Qin Feng’s spirits lifted, and he inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You’re a confident little fellow!" Seeing Qin Feng’s expression, Venerable Xuelian shook her head and chuckled lightly, exuding an indescribable charm. It was as if her silver-bell-like laughter caused all the snow lotuses on the Snow Peak to bloom.

Perhaps because she saw that Qin Feng’s expression was still polite, Venerable Xuelian made a point to offer a word of advice. "Little fellow, don’t be careless. Although I will only use one-twentieth of my power, equivalent to the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Middle Stage, its actual might is by no means inferior to a full-power strike from a Half-step Condensing Veins Realm expert!"

"If you are not confident, I advise you to withdraw from the Seventh Palace now. If we begin to fight, I can’t guarantee you won’t be injured!"

’Little fellow? Who’s a little fellow? I’m not little anymore!’ Qin Feng glanced down at a certain well-developed area and puffed out his chest. However, when facing a Condensing Vein Realm expert, especially a woman, he didn’t know why, but he always felt a lack of confidence deep down.

The last time he was defeated beneath that stunningly beautiful woman he had found, his back had been sore for days. Now, whenever Qin Feng saw a woman at the Condensing Vein Realm, especially a great beauty, he always felt the urge to redeem himself from that past shame.

Seeing that Qin Feng had made up his mind, Venerable Xuelian smiled faintly and said, "If that’s the case, then face my attack. Wan Hua Piaoling!"

Venerable Xuelian’s white robes fluttered. With a light hum, her white figure spun, and a cold glint of light shot into the air.

The sword light slashed repeatedly, accompanied by countless flying white flowers. The sight was breathtakingly beautiful!

This was the most beautiful swordsmanship Qin Feng had ever seen!

As tens of thousands of petals assailed him, enveloping his entire body, a chill flashed through Qin Feng’s heart. He executed the Clear Wind Refining God Step, transforming into a gust of clear wind that weaved through the countless petals.

"The Wind Realm? No wonder the little fellow is so confident." A hint of a smile flashed in Venerable Xuelian’s beautiful eyes. She hummed lightly. "But with only ten percent mastery of the Wind Realm, don’t even think about passing the Seventh Palace that I guard!"

Venerable Xuelian’s figure flashed, her speed actually a notch faster than Qin Feng’s Clear Wind Refining God Step.

She closed in, pressing close to Qin Feng’s side. He could almost smell her pleasant and elegant fragrance.

At the same time, the Qi Force from Venerable Xuelian’s body morphed into countless white petals that began to envelop Qin Feng’s form.

"Spiritual Snake Shedding Its Skin!" However, just as the petals were about to touch Qin Feng’s lapels, his body twisted in an unbelievable way. Like a Spiritual Serpent, he slipped through the narrow space and shot several dozen feet away in an instant.

Having cultivated the Spiritual Snake Demon-Subduing Fist, Qin Feng’s agility made him almost slipperier than a Celestial Serpent.

"You cunning little thing!" Seeing her prey escape, a flash of playful anger crossed Venerable Xuelian’s beautiful eyes. Her figure flashed as she pointed a finger, and countless weaving flower petals instantly followed the black-robed youth, appearing right behind him.

A great chill ran down his spine. A sharp glint erupted in Qin Feng’s eyes. CLANG! He spun around and unleashed a ferocious sword thrust.

He channeled all of his Innate Primordial True Qi into the sword, transforming it into a single, all-out thrust.

The Sword Intent of the Tidal Extinction Sword surged, crashing thunderously into the incoming Qi Force of flying flowers.

BANG! BANG!

The Fourth Layer of the Tidal Extinction Sword Qi erupted, crushing the pursuing Qi Force of flying flowers as if it were rotten wood.

"Not good!" Venerable Xuelian was right behind Qin Feng, and her expression changed drastically as she felt the terrifying power of the Sword Qi—a power that far surpassed the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven Realm. But before she could react, it struck her.

Caught completely off guard, Venerable Xuelian was struck. The vast Sword Qi hit her directly and exploded!

BOOM!

Shreds of clothing filled the sky. In that frantic moment, Qin Feng even caught a glimpse of an infinitely beautiful and perfect naked form as it turned and instantly flashed behind a stone pillar.

Qin Feng stood there dumbfounded. ’It’s over! This is a disaster! I accidentally saw this senior beauty’s naked body!’
