Above all spirits

Chapter 382 Field Perception

Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will.

In the end, it has only been around for four or five hundred years. Compared to the civilization of the lower realms, it is a modern product. In other words, almost all imperial wills are modern products.

Gu Yun had consulted historical records and found that, in the tens of thousands of years of history, the highest level of spiritual power extension among beings in the lower realms was only at the level of Imperial Will. It was impossible for them to touch the Imperial Will that was backed by the power of rules.

The earliest manifestation of the power of imperial will seems to be no more than seven or eight hundred years ago; in short, it can be asserted that imperial will is a product of the last thousand years.

It was during this thousand years that the various forces that existed in the lower realm were broken up, leading to the formation of the Star Alliance that exists in the human realm today.

Gu Yun had a gut feeling that this was the work of the Heavenly Court. Even if it wasn't, the Heavenly Court must have known about it. As for why the beings in the lower realm were so unfamiliar with the Heavenly Court, it wasn't unreasonable. Even a pseudo-innate being only had a lifespan of about three hundred years. In a thousand years, three generations had already changed, and many things were no longer known to the public.

The only thing that puzzled Gu Yun was that Werner was unaware of the Heavenly Court's power. Logically speaking, even if there was a difference in the flow of time between the upper and lower realms...

But by that calculation, the Upper Realm has only existed for a hundred years. Werner is clearly over a hundred years old, so why does he know nothing? Could it be that some rule has erased all the potential memories of the Heavenly Court from the Upper Realm?

...

In this icy world covered by endless frost.

Gu Yun and Xiao Li followed Mu Wanyue into the palace of Bingyun Palace.

The palaces are not clustered together, but rather spread out, perhaps due to the terrain. After all, there are always some limitations to building palaces in such an environment.

But this is not a big deal, since there is no need to consider the issue of land occupation. Strictly speaking, the entire planet belongs to the Ice Cloud Palace, and the actual territory used by the Ice Cloud Palace is probably less than one-eighth of it.

It must be said that the palaces of Ice Cloud Palace are indeed unique compared to the buildings outside.

Everything before my eyes is breathtaking.

In the Ice Cloud Palace, ice and snow seem to blend into the heavens and earth, and every ice crystal tile of the palace shimmers in the dim light like the stars.

The air around us was a bit cold; an ordinary person would probably feel the biting chill just by breathing it.

"Is this the Ice Cloud Palace? It's like something out of a dream."

Xiao Li couldn't help but whisper, his eyes filled with shock. This was understandable, as Xiao Li had only seen common ancient styles before, so he was naturally amazed by this sci-fi and magical ice and snow castle.

Following Mu Wanyue through the palace corridors used for receiving guests, the two finally saw a trace of human habitation, proving that these buildings were not just works of art.

Several women, also dressed in ice-blue gowns, moved lightly through the palace, each seemingly possessing considerable cultivation.

Clearly, these are all disciples of the Ice Cloud Palace.

However, as the outside world has said, Ice Cloud Palace only accepts female disciples.

The main reason is that men's bodies are inherently more yang in nature, while the Ice Cloud Palace's techniques are all cold in nature, which are not suitable for men to cultivate.

One good thing about this place is that the Ice Cloud Palace doesn't really discourage its disciples from having romantic relationships. Although women who live in the Ice Cloud Palace for a long time don't have much opportunity to develop romantic relationships, if they do, the Ice Cloud Palace won't prevent them from going out.

They practiced cold-attribute techniques, not ruthless techniques.

The only real obstacle to visiting Ice Cloud Palace is bringing your lover there; Ice Cloud Palace is not a place where just anyone can come and go as they please.

at last.

A huge door made of ice crystals slowly opened, and they entered a spacious hall, the interior of which was decorated almost entirely with tables and chairs carved from ice.

But within this hall, the two felt a warmth that shouldn't have been there for a long time.

Mu Wanyue led them inside and whispered some instructions.

"Please make yourselves at home and wait a moment while I go and inform the Palace Master."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Gu Yun and Xiao Li stood quietly in the hall.

The surrounding ice and snow decorations reflected a dreamlike color under the cold light, prompting Xiao Li to examine some items.

"So, what did you find?"

Seeing Xiao Li's posture, Gu Yun naturally knew what Xiao Li was doing.

"No, it's just ordinary carvings, but the materials used are extraordinary, all made of millennia-old ice."

"Some patterns were arranged on it to fix its shape and prevent the cold air from leaking out."

Gu Yun nodded and gave a faint "hmm," not too surprised.

After walking around a few times and looking around, I randomly found a seat and sat down.

He crossed his legs, rested his face on one hand, closed his eyes to rest and wait for a reply.

After fiddling around for a while, Xiao Li saw that there were no new designs and the decorations were all made up of the same principles, so he sat down next to Gu Yun and waited quietly.

I felt a little nervous but also a little excited.

I wonder what kind of report the Palace Master of Bingyun Palace will produce under the system's evaluation. This is a unique kind of happiness for Xiao Li. It can't possibly be like Gu Yun and Chen Yuan, which are full of question marks. Such a situation is very rare.

So far, aside from the information that requires a certain level of expertise to obtain, the only questions that remain unanswered are those concerning Chen Yuan and Gu Yun.

Soon after.

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor outside the door.

Xiao Li asked curiously.

"Is the Palace Master here?"

Gu Yun opened his sleepy eyes and tried to find the special feeling that belonged only to an emperor, as Chen Yuan had said.

That's a special field that forms around oneself after frequently using the Emperor's Will, which is the power of rules. Gu Yun may be completely ignorant of other methods, but he can always find a suitable path for himself in terms of combat skills or perception skills.

He could understand what kind of field this was; in fact, it was quite easy to understand when applied to gods and demons.

The way gods and demons master the power of rules is very orthodox, proceeding step by step. This kind of field is actually similar to the domain skills of gods and demon lords, but generally, they first have domain skills and then master the power of rules. However, those in the lower realm who possess imperial will are exactly the opposite.

This led to the special field that Chen Yuan mentioned.

Gu Yun utilized the Heavenly Demon Emperor's will and demonic power.

Demonic Power is a special kind of mental suppression power that radiates outwards. Gu Yun chose to weaken it as much as possible, to the point that it almost lost its ability to suppress, but its range could be expanded to cover almost a hundred miles in radius, so as to capture this special field.

The power of rules almost completely overwhelms all other forms of power, but it reacts differently to other forms of rule power.

Although that's what he said, Gu Yun's focused posture never relaxed, which proved that he had not succeeded.

murmured.

"Is it still too much of a stretch?"
