Chapter 1237: Good And Evil
On the Heaven Heart Plateau, a white-haired man sat cross-legged on a transparent lotus within a dim room. His eyelashes trembled as he listened to a voice transmission from someone, and he immediately called several people to come to him.
A few minutes later, two people walked into the room, one young man and one young woman.
The young man wore white robes embroidered with intricate patterns that resembled frost or clouds. His long, dark hair flowed down his back, adorned with a silver hairpiece. He gave off the aura of a noble warlord.
The young woman exuded a dignified presence, her silhouette slender and poised with an air of nobility. Her body is slim and feminine—slim waist, smooth curves, and a softly rounded bust that complements the delicate elegance of her figure. Her skin is flawless, like freshly fallen snow, glowing faintly in the pale light.
She dressed in a bluish-white gown embroidered with silver accents, clinging to her upper curves. Her long black hair cascades down like silk, decorated with frost-like flowers and silver pins. A thin veil covers her lower face, hiding her allure, while her eyes are as clear as winter skies.
"Master." The two of them respectfully saluted the white-haired man.
The white-haired man opened his eyes immediately. "Wen Chang and An Yufei, I want the two of you to go to the Snowy Death Forest to investigate a man. The two of you do not need to approach him but observe him from afar, and I want to get clear information about him."
"Who is the man you mean, Master?" Wen Chang asked.
"According to the information I just got, his name is Ling Yun, and he is a newcomer to our realm." The white-haired man immediately shared the information he got from the hunchbacked old man with them. "According to my ancestor's vision, he has repeatedly defied the heavens. They tried to kill him too many times, but he managed to survive until today. My ancestor had already predicted that he would come to our domain, and he is the only person who can solve the mystery behind the destruction of the Heaven Tower."
An Yufei cupped her hands toward the man. "Master, while I respect the ancestor's vision, the destruction of the Heaven Tower occurred a million years ago. She and all the ancient cultivators in our domain have tried to solve the mystery, but their efforts have never succeeded, and it persists to this day. Therefore, I lack confidence in man's ability to solve it, particularly given that his cultivation has not yet advanced to the Three Immortal Realms.
"Haha." The white-haired man laughed in response. "Little Yufei, are you able to face several lightning tribulations at once? Moreover, that kid's lightning tribulations are not ordinary ones, but the white lightning tribulations, which are the strongest."
"Huh?" That stunned both of them. "Did that kid really face several white lightning tribulations at once, Master?"
The white-haired man nodded at them. "My ancestor is not a seer, but her vision is never wrong. Since she has said that that kid will solve the mystery behind the destruction of the Heaven Tower, I believe that kid will do so one day, and all our questions in the past million years will have their answers at that time."
"We understand, Master."
Wen Chang then asked other questions. "Do people from other floating islands already know about that man's presence? Are they going to hunt him down? What about the woman on the Snowy Death Peak?"
"I don't know what happened between Ling Yun and the Yin Dragon Clan, but their leader informed me of his arrival, and he should have also informed the others about him." The white-haired man looked out of the window before continuing. "The others might not attack him right away, and they might just watch him from afar like we did, including that woman. However, the people from the Dark Moon Plateau are different, and it's likely that Shang Wuqing will send his followers to capture him. Therefore, you two must be careful when you monitor him, and you should not clash head-on with those heretics. Go now and inform me of all the information about that kid."
"Yes, Master."
After Wen Chang and An Yufei left, a woman appeared behind the white-haired man.
The woman stood silently behind the window, and her figure exuded a divine majesty, wrapped in a faint light. A golden mask concealed her face, making it impossible for anyone to see her beauty. Her body was tall and statuesque, with a golden dress wrapped around it, emphasizing her hourglass silhouette. Her skin is smooth and fair. Her curves were well-balanced, and her bust was full yet refined, complementing the narrow taper of her waist. Her rear formed into a firm and round shape.
Sensing her presence, the white-haired man hurriedly got off the lotus and knelt on the floor behind her. "Why did you suddenly come, Ancestor?"
"Di Yuantian, our domain will become chaotic soon, and our Di Clan will be dragged into it." The woman turned to him. "I want you to prepare the remaining members of our clan to deal with it, and our main enemy is Shang Wuqing."
"Shang Wuqing?"
The woman nodded at him. "No one is aware of it, but Shang Wuqing has already established communication with the Ancient Devil Clan under Xie Zuzhou's leadership, and their enemy is Ling Yun."
Di Yuantian was shocked to hear that. "Since when did Shang Wuqing have a relationship with that clan? Why did they target Ling Yun?"
"A few months ago." The woman waved her hand, and the qi screen appeared in front of them. "Ling Yun is the sole successor of the primordial chaos dragon, and his existence threatens the heretics. Xie Zuzhou cannot act alone due to Zhizun Buxiu's presence, and a fight between them would cause chaos in the Supreme Realm. Therefore, the ancient devil wants to use the other heretics, including Shang Wuqing."
"Does this mean our Di Clan will side with Ling Yun, Ancestor?"
The woman responded with a shake of her head. "There are only a few of our Di Clan members left, so we will not side with anyone, and we will join the fight to protect ourselves."
"I see." Di Yuantian nodded in understanding. "I will carry out your orders, Ancestor."
"Yes." The woman immediately disappeared, and Di Yuantian hurriedly left the room.

Inside a tall black palace on the Dark Moon Plateau, a man sits on his throne. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and shrouded in crimson armor that gleamed like fresh blood. He has long, black hair like shadows. His aura was wild and untamed, matching the intensity in his cold, piercing red eyes.
The man's presence dominated the room, forcing the twelve people below the throne to respectfully kneel. He was none other than Shang Wuqing, the leader of the heretics. "Go to the Snowy Death Mountain and capture a young man for me."
"Who is the man you mean, Lord?"
Shang Wuqing immediately flicked his finger, and twelve black lights shot into their foreheads. "Ling Yun has just arrived from the upper realms, and Xie Zuzhou wants him, so failure is not an option."
"What about the Di Clan, Lord? Di Yuantian must have known about Ling Yun's presence, and he must have sent people to meet him."
Shang Wuqing narrowed his eyes. "Kill whoever Di Yuantuan sends, and I will take care of that bastard myself."
"Do we also need to kill people from the other floating islands?"
"Kill everyone! Drench this domain with their blood." Shang Wuqing replied decisively.
"Yes, Lord!" The twelve replied excitedly, and they hurriedly left the black castle.
Not only the people from the Heaven Heart Plateau and the Dark Moon Plateau, but all the cultivators from the other floating islands were also moving toward the Snowy Death Mountain.

After the two notifications appeared, Ling Yun immediately returned to the entrance of the Snowy Death Forest. "How did it go? Did you manage to crack the formation?"
"No." Shen Tianxi replied with a disappointed sigh. "This formation is much more complicated than I expected, and I thought only Fa Zhen could crack it."
"Fa Zhen is in the Thousand Beast Realm now, and we will only waste time if we go there. Since you can't crack it, we will go in right now, but you all must be careful." Ling Yun flicked his finger, and several Qi threads instantly wrapped around their bodies. "As long as you guys don't get too far lost, I can still find your location through these threads."
"Yes."
Thereafter, Xue Yong led them into the Snowy Death Forest, with Ling Yun, Ling Xi, and Ling Ling right behind him, followed by the other cultivators.
Some of them watched the left side, some of them watched the right side, and Huang Hao watched the back alone.
Ling Yun used the void eyes to check the distance, but the formation was too strong to block his vision. Even a cultivator as strong as Huang Hao could not detect the area inside the forest, forcing them to walk with extreme caution.
To stop the invisible threat from the beasts, Ling Yun used his half-dragon form and spread his chaos dragon aura, enveloping the area around them.
