"Ice and Fire Realm! Ice and Fire Holy God! Holy Divine Artifact!"
Chu Yuan uttered three key phrases, a glint of divine light flashing in his eyes.

Frightened by these events, Jiao Feng prostrated himself on the ground, wondering what he’d done to anger his majesty.
"When did you receive this information?" Chu Yuan inquired.
In a submissive tone, Jiao Feng replied, "Great Majesty, I received this news two years ago. Before I could act on it, I was caught."
"Two years ago isn’t too long," Chu Yuan murmured.
Chu Yuan gave a slight nod.
That was the period when the Empire of Dutian and the Jiuyou World were at war. Jiao Feng was unfortunate enough to fall into the line of fire. For news to travel beyond the stars, that was a relatively short period.
"Ding! Current side quest released: find opportunities within the Ice and Fire Realm and consider the mission completed upon obtaining the Holy Divine Artifact. Failure to obtain the Holy Divine Artifact will result in mission failure."
The system voice sounded, announcing a new task.
"Yang Teng!"
Chu Yuan summoned.
"I’m here!"
Yang Teng appeared.
He hadn’t been in Dawu for long, but his strength had greatly increased. A slight movement emitted an aura that manifested into a image of the Primordial Chaos.
His strength continued to increase, just one step away from becoming a holy god. He was almost there.
This was due to the spiritual energy of the people of Dawu helping him develop his Primordial Chaos War Body.
Now, he could reap great benefits by completing tasks for Dawu, much faster than his previous method of cultivating on his own. It was as if he had come upon a paradise.
He was not willing to leave this favorable environment for his cultivation.
He also belatedly realized that if he had recognized the situation earlier, he would not have been beaten by the Soul Whip. The thought alone sent shivers down his spine.
"Do you know where the Ice and Fire Realm is?" Chu Yuan asked.
"I... I know."
Jiao Feng cowered on the ground.
"Good, Yang Teng, you and Jiao Feng will head to the Ice and Fire Realm. I’ve received news of a rumored Holy Divine Artifact there. Bring it back. I’ll be waiting for your good news."
Chu Yuan ordered, "If you can bring it back and complete the mission, you will be granted more spiritual energy, which might help you break through to the holy god realm."
"I know a little. The Ice and Fire Holy God is an ancient one, extremely powerful, deeply cultivated, the power of the sacred path of ice and fire law was contradictory and terrifying. However, he’s already perished."
Jiao Feng had only been a god when he became a wanderer.
By cautiously choosing his alliances and focusing on his cultivation, he managed to climb up to the current rank of Main God.
He had also thoroughly researched the Ice and Fire Realm before heading there, but he was disastrously captured on his way there.
"Holy gods also have a limit to their lifespan. Only by integrating and controlling a super large world to obtain its power, can they acquire a life that coexists with the world. However, this is extremely difficult."
Yang Teng sighed, even gods that roamed in the universal starry space also had their day of demise.
He shook his head fiercely. What was he thinking about? He hadn’t even broken through to the holy god level, and he was already fantasizing about the force of the boundary. He grinned, "What else?"
He tried to make himself seem friendly, but his gruff exterior made his smile seem ghastly, startling Jiao Feng.
Jiao Feng, frightened, said: "The news about the Holy Divine Artifact in the Ice and Fire Realm has been circulating for some years. A group of people who went in is mostly dead. It’s said to be the place where the Ice and Fire Holy God perished, extremely dangerous."
"The place where a holy god collapses would indeed be perilous."
Yang Teng agreed with a nod.
"Although the news has spread among the wanderers, only a fraction of them dare to venture there. After all, without the strength of a Main God, it is suicide to go there."
Jiao Feng explained.
"Ha-ha, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have known about this news."
Yang Teng slapped Jiao Feng on the back hearty and then hoisted him up, "You’re too slow! If we continue like this, others will snatch the treasure. We won’t be able to complete the task that His Majesty has entrusted to me, let alone talk about rewards."
Like a human-form rampaging dragon, he suddenly picked up speed, rushing forth through the void.
This was different from Chu Yuan’s use of the Great Void Transfer. Yang Teng was using his own physical body to rip through the void with brute force.
"Fast, too fast! Your speed is too fast!"
Fear was written all over Jiao Feng’s face.
This storm of tearing through the universe with a physical body blasted grimly on him. Even though he was a Main God, he had great difficulty resisting the storm caused by Yang Teng.
"How can we get to the Ice and Fire Realm without speeding up? If the task fails, I can’t even imagine the look on His Majesty’s face."
Yang Teng continued to increase his speed.
Chu Yuan provided him with numerous imperial artifacts this time around - artifacts for healing, replenishing blood, and assistance.
Yang Teng didn’t hesitate to use these items extravagantly, aware of Chu Yuan’s bounty, which was beyond his wildest imagination.
All Jiao Feng could do was grit his teeth and bear it.
More than a month later, they finally arrived.
Yang Teng stopped and looked into the distance. In the starry space, there was an unusual world – the Ice and Fire Realm that Jiao Feng had mentioned!
