For the next ten days or so, Pei Qing stayed at the Ice Emperor's clan to rest.
During this time, he also mastered the Ice Explosion Technique.
The Ice Explosion Technique wasn't difficult, much as he had expected; the only slight challenge was controlling the attribute.
With improved control, the Ice Explosion Technique was a soul skill that could be easily created.
At least after observing it a few times, Pei Qing could easily create the corresponding Fire Explosion Technique.
Its power was indeed extraordinary; at close range, even someone several realms higher would be severely injured.
With Shui Bing'er's strength and control, if she learned the Ice Explosion Technique, her combat power would increase exponentially.
Of course, this soul skill wasn't limited to ice and fire attributes; it was probably most suitable for poison attributes.
Thinking of the poison-spreading abilities of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, Pei Qing couldn't help but feel a chill.
If this grandfather and granddaughter were to learn the Poison Explosion Technique, their attack would likely wipe out an entire radius of a thousand miles!
It's terrifying beyond measure.
"Zhu Qing, you and A Yin should stay with Bing'er's clan. Your strength is too weak. I need to do some things with the Snow Emperor, and you might get implicated if you go with me."
For several days, Pei Qing casually considered what the Snow Emperor might say to him.
In the end, he didn't gain much insight. Now, speaking to Zhu Zhu Qing and A Yin, he realized that their strength was indeed somewhat weak. In this extremely dangerous northern land, it was best for them to stay with the Ice Emperor's clan!
"Master! ×2"
Zhu Zhu Qing and A Yin looked at Pei Qing with some disappointment, but Pei Qing wasn't buying it. They were indeed a burden to him now, and he wouldn't be soft-hearted enough to take them with him.
"No need for further words. Focus on your cultivation and becoming Title Douluos as soon as possible."
With that, Pei Qing vanished before their eyes. Watching him disappear, Zhu Zhuqing's fair hands clenched tightly, as if she had made a firm decision.
A Yin glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside her, took a deep breath, and immediately made up her mind.
Her master said she was weak; she couldn't continue like this. She
had to become stronger, she had to become stronger as quickly as possible!
Bing'er and Xue Di sat opposite Pei Qing and Bi Ji, all four with serious and earnest expressions.
"Xue'er, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Is there some secret in the Far North that I don't know about?"
Bing Di, despite her exceptional talent, had only been born a few hundred thousand years ago, yet in that time she had seen the entire Far North.
She knew everything about the Far North, but in all these years she had never discovered any secrets there.
Now, inexplicably hearing from Xue Di that the Far North held secrets, she was filled with surprise and curiosity.
"Bing'er, this happened before you were even born!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand years ago, the far north underwent a sudden change, and a special divine iron, carrying a broken plane, fell from the sky!"
"Unfortunately, both this divine iron and that special plane are extremely unique; even I cannot enter them. Over the years, I have tried countless times, but have always failed."
"Over the years, the plane has become even more dilapidated, even showing signs of collapse."
"Therefore, I would like to invite Pei Qing to give it a try."
A broken plane and divine iron?
Pei Qing was stunned, his eyes fixed on the Snow Emperor with a strange expression.

This part was never mentioned in the original story. Could it be that after another ten thousand years, that plane completely collapsed?
"Since that's the case, let's go take a look."
It wasn't impossible, but Pei Qing didn't doubt it.
After all, if the Snow Empress really wanted to harm her, she could have done it immediately without waiting until now.
So everything she said must be true, which made Pei Qing quite curious.
What could possibly have brought this broken plane to the far north? Just thinking about
it made her scalp tingle! Even if it wasn't from the God Realm, it was probably something extraordinary.
"Alright, let's set off now. I want to see what's so magical about a place that even Xue'er can't enter."
As a die-hard fan of the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress found it hard to believe that the omnipotent Snow Empress was helpless against a piece of broken iron and a broken plane.
Seeing Pei Qing agree so readily, the Snow Empress felt a sense of gratitude.
At first, she was indeed interested in the things in the plane, but after so many years, she had long since lost interest.
He only wanted to repay Pei Qing. If the items inside were useful to Pei Qing and he could take them, that would be wonderful. If not, then so be it; it just meant that these things shouldn't exist on the Douluo Continent.
Soon, led by Xue Di, the group arrived at the place she had mentioned.
This was the deepest part of the far north, deserted, with an extremely towering ten-thousand-meter snow mountain standing before them.
"Follow me, that plane and the divine iron are on the mountaintop."
The ten-thousand-meter snow mountain far surpassed the highest peak Pei Qing had reached in his previous life.
As Xue Di flew upwards, Pei Qing suddenly frowned.
He had sensed something, a very intimate feeling, even a call from his bloodline.
What was this thing that could evoke such a feeling in him?
Could it be an item suitable for him? Pei Qing, now a three-legged golden crow, had virtually no chance of further evolution in his bloodline.
If it wasn't an item for bloodline evolution, then what could evoke such a feeling in him?
A snow-capped mountain ten thousand meters high is insurmountable and fraught with danger for ordinary people, but for someone of Pei Qing's current strength, climbing it is quite easy. In just a few minutes, the group reached the summit.
At the summit, a vast expanse stretched out, where the heavy snow had inexplicably stopped.
A piece of black divine iron, more than half a person's height, stood silently before them.
This was the divine iron, but where was that plane?
Pei Qing used his spatial power, and with a slight sense, immediately detected something amiss.
Indeed, it was a divine object. This divine iron, seemingly right before them, was merely a residual image projected from the overlapping of a fragmented plane and the Douluo Continent plane.
"This is the divine iron I spoke of; the plane is in the void."
"Everyone is welcome to try. If you truly gain something, then our journey here will not have been in vain!"
