Walking alone atop the frozen snow mountain, Lin Zhen’s mind was deep in thought.

He still remembered that when he encountered Adams’ group, someone had said that his parents had been captured by the church and Yue’er had agreed to Yan Huang’s marriage proposal.

Lin Zhen didn’t believe that Yue’er would agree to such a thing, but what about his parents? Had they really been captured by the church?

Unfortunately, there was no internet here, so Lin Zhen could not verify such a thing.

Unable to confirm this matter, Lin Zhen couldn’t temporarily leave Ancient God City, as his current trip to the church would definitely be a one-way journey.

Feeling the burning wounds on his body and recalling Yan Huang armed with sacred artifacts, followed by the immediate confrontation with Huo Luofu, Lin Zhen deeply felt the importance of sacred artifacts.

If he also had a full set of sacred artifacts, the battle just now wouldn’t have turned out like that.

Searching in the Space Ring, Lin Zhen found another Top Quality Star Weapon Spear, but it didn’t seem very handy. Now, he needed a sacred artifact.

After climbing the vast snow mountain, the temperature here had already dropped to minus eighty degrees.

Lin Zhen’s Star Artifact was changed to a Flame suit, with billowing flames shielding him from the piercing cold.

A Quasi-SS Class Snow Monster encountered Lin Zhen, who didn’t know what kind of mutation it was, but it definitely shouldn’t have appeared on Earth.

One minute later, the almost-human-looking Snow Monster was killed by Lin Zhen’s spear, and its Crystal was taken out.

“I can already take on a Quasi-SS Class Mutated Beast alone, but this is not

enough. MY goal IS to be able to Rill an SS-class.”

Lin Zhen released Xiao Nuan, who was of fire attribute and very uncomfortable in this extreme cold. Xiao Nuan had to constantly release its flame.

After eating the body of the Snow Monster, Xiao Nuan grew a little more. Seeing its shivering appearance, Lin Zhen put it away again.

When he first entered Antarctica, he could still see some people, but as Lin Zhen went deeper, there were fewer people in the south, and later there were none at all.

After climbing over the highest peak of the snow mountain, Lin Zhen immediately felt a bone-piercing cold that nearly froze him stiff.

He had thought the temperature on the snow mountain was already cold enough, but now he realized that this side was still considered warm, because the cold air from the Antarctic Pole had been blocked by the snow mountain.

From the top of the snow mountain looking south, in the farthest south, beams of heavenly light descended from the sky, forming a curtain of light like an inverted Tianhe.

Floating in the sky were jellyfish-like clouds, which only formed at a temperature below minus 83 degrees.

It was already nightfall, and those jellyfish clouds were still illuminated by the celestial light, looking somewhat eerie.

Lin Zhen’s Dark Star was in operation, with a stream of fire entering the Star Artifact on his body, resisting the extreme cold. His eyes, however, remained unblinking as he looked at the celestial light and jellyfish clouds here.

“I’m almost there. The heavenly light there is the aurora of the Antarctic. Where the aurora falls, there is the South Pole. Once I reach there, I can proceed to the third floor.”

Large groups of snow and wind blew in his face, and Lin Zhen was struggling to move forward, leaving footprints with every step.

After walking for a while, frost covered Lin Zhen’s armor, making it somewhat unable to withstand the extreme cold here.

Lin Zhen didn’t use the Flame Heart but let the fire from the Dark Star release outward again, slowly melting the frost on the armor.

From the snow mountain, he walked towards the plain ahead, crossed a frozen river, and a house entirely made of ice appeared in front of him.

The house was built like a small villa, with the words Ice Palace written on it.

Lin Zhen knew that this was the Ice Palace that Dongfang Jun had mentioned. It was the territory of Luo Yun, the Hua Xia Martial Artist, but he didn’t want to go in. He was anxious to find the sacred artifacts and Earth element crystals.

But just as he passed by the entrance of the Ice Palace, the door suddenly opened.

Dongfang Jun stood inside the Ice Palace and smiled at Lin Zhen, “Brother Lin, why not come in? You’re making your big brother lose face.”

Seeing Dongfang Jun, Lin Zhen couldn’t continue walking forward. He could only smile and walk over, “Big brother Dongfang, I’m just in a hurry to get to the third floor and thought it’d be better not to bother.”

Dongfang Jun pulled Lin Zhen into the Ice Palace, “There are many things to pay attention to before going to the third floor. Come in and talk; it’s freezing outside.”

Lin Zhen followed him in, and immediately felt warmth upon entering.

The temperature inside the Ice Palace was around minus thirty or forty degrees, but compared to the outside, it was simply heaven.

There was a living room inside, and after entering, there were seven or eight people inside, all of whom were Star Realm Experts.

“Everyone, I’m sure you all know his great name, but I still want to give him a grand introduction. This is my close friend, the talented Martial Artist Lin Zhen from Gale, the first person in history to advance to the Star List with the strength of the Quasi-Star Realm. He is currently ranked 51st on the Meteor Star List.”

Upon hearing Dongfang Jun’s introduction, the people inside indeed showed respectful expressions.

Being on the Star List is a symbol of strength. Lin Zhen is now a Quasi-Star Realm expert. If he wasn’t on the Star List, even if he had defeated a Star Realm Expert, no one would respect him too much, after all, he wasn’t on the list.

However, being on the list is different. The Heavenly Star List has eighteen people, the Dark Star List has thirty-six people, and the Meteor Star List has seventy-two people. These 126 people represent the strongest group in the world. Lin Zhen is currently ranked 51st on the Meteor Star List, and his strength is close to entering the world’s top 100.

Not to mention that he is just at the Quasi-Star Realm, once he advances to the Star Realm, he will definitely become one of the top 100, or even top 50.

A person seated in the middle stood up: “Dongfang, we all know about Lin Zhen, especially just not long ago, Brother Lin actually eliminated three Star

List experts one after the other, jumping to the 51st position. In my opinion,

Brother Lin already has the strength to be in the top 30 of the Meteor Star List.”

Dongfang Jun laughed, clearly feeling honored for his good relationship with Lin Zhen.

Turning to Lin Zhen, he said: “Lin Zhen, let me introduce you. This is Luo Yun. I’m sure you’ve seen him on the Meteor Star List. He is the super expert ranked third in the Meteor Star List and has a good chance of advancing to the Dark Star List.”

“Hehe, the Dark Star List is not so easy to advance to. Anyway, let’s not talk about that. Today is the first time we meet Brother Lin, and he is also one of our Hua Xia Martial Artists. Let us show our hospitality.”

Saying that, Luo Yun looked at the other Star Realm experts around him: “Brothers, have the food and drinks been prepared?”

“It’s all set. Dongfang said that Lin Zhen would definitely come here, so we prepared everything early.”

“Alright then, let’s begin!”

Luo Yun waved his hand, and Dongfang Jun led Lin Zhen to the dining room.

The dining room was also an ice sculpture room. In the middle of the central table, a hot pot had been set up, raising the room temperature considerably. Even ordinary people could barely have a meal here now.

As everyone was a Martial Artist and an expert, they naturally didn’t care about the cold temperature. They all took their seats.

There was some emphasis on seating arrangements this time. Luo Yun, being the strongest person present and the host, naturally sat in the middle position, with Dongfang Jun to his left and Lin Zhen to his right.

Dongfang Jun, who is now on the Star List, ranked 33rd, was older than Lin Zhen and used to be the head of Gale, so there was no problem with him sitting there.

And Lin Zhen, being a 21-year-old youth, could sit in the third seat, while the other Star Realm Experts found it quite natural.

After all, he is on the Star List, different from those who haven’t made the list yet, making him the rightful person for this seat.

Someone took out a big bottle of strong liquor and filled everyone’s cups, then Luo Yun raised his cup: “Here, let’s welcome Brother Lin to the Ice Palace. It’s a pleasure to meet everyone, and now we’re all friends. Cheers!”

“Cheers, cheers!”

Everyone picked up their drinks and downed them in one gulp.

Being able to eat hot pot and drink strong liquor in such an icy and snowy environment was indeed a pleasure. Lin Zhen felt warm and comfortable.

After having some food, Luo Yun said: “Brother Lin, we’ve heard about your situation. Although there’s no internet here, we can still communicate using walkie-talkies on the second layer. Once you reach the third layer, you’ll have internet access. We’ve seen your video, and I must say I’m impressed with how you managed to fight against Yan Huang of the Dark Star List.”

Lin Zhen smiled and nodded. It seemed that the upper part of the spaceship could receive signals, making it convenient.

Luo Yun continued, “But let me give you a suggestion, Brother Lin. Your strength is indeed strong, but your equipment is still lacking. If you were eauiDDed with a full set of sacred eauioment. vou wouldn’t have been so embarrassed in the final moments against Yan Huang or that strange-looking Huo Luofu.”

Lin Zhen nodded, “That’s right, I only have this sacred armor on my body. If I had a full set of equipment, even Yan Huang would have a hard time shaking my defense.”

Luo Yun clapped his hands: “Exactly, so I’d like to discuss something with you.” “What’s the matter?” Lin Zhen was puzzled.

“It’s simple. You, me, and Dongfang. All three of us should go to the third layer together and at least try to get a full set of sacred equipment. What do you think?”

“The three of us will go to the third layer?”

“Yes, don’t think I look impressive occupying the Ice Palace on the second layer. It’s only because I can’t establish myself in the third layer that I have to stay in the second layer. Recently, Dongfang came, and the two of us tried to break through the third layer together, but there’s an SS-level Hellhound guarding the entrance to the third layer on this side. We’ve tried several times but haven’t succeeded. As for my subordinates, none of them have made it to the Star List, so they’re not eligible to go to the third layer. Now that you’ve arrived, Brother Lin, we can finally make another attempt.”

Dongfang Jun added: “We should give it a try. If we can’t get rid of this three-headed Hellhound, we won’t be able to enter the third layer, and we won’t be able to get any treasure from there. Without sacred equipment, we wouldn’t be very competitive on the Star List, making it difficult for Brother Lin to save his parents too.”

Hearing this, Lin Zhen suddenly froze: “You said my parents?”
