"Should we... maybe not go in?"

Brother Tor grew increasingly uneasy, fearing that venturing deeper within might lead them face-to-face with a terrifying Great Demon King!

Even the usually fearless Barbarian Tribe was scared like this, showing just how much pressure this speculation put on Brother Tor.

Because he understood well that the Unity Realm Stage might not be the pinnacle of cultivation, and higher realms could exist beyond it.

Though he was unsure of what such a level would entail, anyone who could raise a Ninth Layer Hedao Realm Ice Luan Beast would possess power, even if not surpassing Merging Paths, then certainly at the Peak Hedao Realm.

Moreover, the current Ice Cave is the opponent's domain, where they could set up formations, putting them at a disadvantage!

If trapped deep inside, the three of them at the Hedao Realm, along with Mu Jinyu who could kill a Demon Emperor across stages, might all have to stay!

The Barbarian King heard Brother Tor's analysis and speculation, furrowing his brow before looking at Mu Jinyu and asking, "Younger Brother Mu, do you think Brother Tor's speculation could be true?"

"Possible!"

Mu Jinyu also furrowed his brow slightly, responding with a soft voice.

"Then why hasn't he responded yet, even though we've slaughtered and divided the Ice Luan?" the Barbarian King asked, puzzled.

Mu Jinyu hesitated, saying, "Maybe he's in slumber?"

"If that's the case, shouldn't we take this chance to leave directly? It seems quite dangerous inside!"

The Barbarian King paused, then advised, "After all, Younger Brother Mu, you've already obtained the Ice Attribute Demon Emperor's soul, and whether or not there's the Ten Thousand Year Ice Spirit Marrow, it doesn't seem very important, right?"

Mu Jinyu thought about it. Though the absence of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Spirit Marrow wouldn't heavily impact the creation of a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, not knowing what's inside wasn't his preferred choice.

"No worries, you all go out first. I'll go in and have a look myself." Mu Jinyu finally decided to go in and check.

Let's see what's inside!

Is it a Great Power of the Void Breaking Realm like his mentor Mu Shao'ai hiding from the world?

Or similar to the Qilin King in the Extremely Cold Hell?

At his cultivation level, although he still couldn't match a Void Breaking Realm, he could at least hold out for a while.

If he truly encounters danger upon entering, he could promptly notify Mu Shao'ai, and together they'd be capable of handling the opponent.

Jian Ruyan seemed to have caught on to Mu Jinyu's intentions and suddenly advised, "Better to call for help earlier. It's not safe to wait until the last moment. If you really want to go in, let your mentor come help you. He seems to have time on his hands anyway..."

Upon hearing Jian Ruyan's words, Mu Jinyu pondered slightly and found it sensible.

He and Mu Shao'ai have a mentor-student relationship, not mere friends. No need to wait until facing insurmountable danger before calling for his mentor's help.

Though this act might seem embarrassing, with them having no shame in front of each other, why care?

Moreover, the mysterious nature of the Ice Cave would likely intrigue Mu Shao'ai. If he weren't informed, he might reproach Mu Jinyu later for not telling him sooner!

"Alright, then I'll inform him directly to come over!"

Without any more pretense, Mu Jinyu took out a Heavenly Palace Token, sending a message to Mu Shao'ai to come quickly and shared their location!

"Okay, I'm on my way."

Mu Shao'ai quickly responded upon receiving Mu Jinyu's notification.

"Let's stop for now and wait for him to arrive before going in."

Mu Jinyu put away the Heavenly Palace Token and spoke to everyone.

"Alright."

"Okay."

With Mu Jinyu's mentor coming to support them, the Barbarian King and Brother Tor felt steadied enough to wait.

Approximately ten minutes passed.

"Whew..."

A figure rushed from behind, swiftly coming to a stop upon nearing Mu Jinyu's group.

A closer look revealed it was Mu Shao'ai.

"This place is indeed peculiar; even someone of my strength was nearly restrained, almost unable to fly!"

Mu Shao'ai hovered in the air, and upon seeing the four of them, remarked somewhat resentfully.

The Barbarian King and Brother Tor were astonished.

They had assumed that even Mu Jinyu's powerful mentor would have limits similar to theirs, unable to fly due to restrictions.

Yet, here was Mu Shao'ai, still managing effortless flight, his youthful face defying expectations.

"Younger Brother Mu, what level is your mentor's cultivation?" asked the Barbarian King, visibly shaken by Mu Jinyu's explanation.

"He claims to be of the Void Breaking Realm, a stage beyond the Hedao Realm!" Mu Jinyu replied.

"What?!"

"This..."

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, the Barbarian King and Brother Tor were bewildered.

Now they finally understood why Mu Jinyu was so strong at the Sixth Layer Hedao Realm, able to defeat a Ninth Layer Hedao Realm Ice Luan with ease!

Their foundation lay here!

"Is your mentor perhaps..."

The Barbarian King's pupils constricted, seemingly realizing something, and he asked excitedly, "Heaven Palace Master?!"

Rumors had long circulated that the Heaven Palace Master's cultivation level was beyond the Hedao Realm, a higher realm!

Though widely popular, even the Barbarian Tribe had heard of it in the harsh Northern Plains, it had never been truthfully confirmed.

And now, with Mu Jinyu stating his mentor's strength beyond the Hedao Realm, indicating Mu Shao'ai as the dominator of Kunlun Ruins, it stirred their excitement to meet such a legendary figure!

Seeing the Barbarian King and Brother Tor eagerly looking at him, Mu Jinyu smiled and nodded gently, saying, "Yes, he is currently the Master of Heavenly Palace!"

Not intending to conceal anything, Mu Jinyu straightforwardly stated the current status.

Hinting subtly that Mu Shao'ai wasn't always the Palace Master.

Given their response, whether subtly misunderstood or indifferent to specifics, it didn't matter for now. The fact remained; someone surpassing the Hedao Realm held significance to them!

Mu Shao'ai seemed accustomed to this, nodding slightly to the Barbarian King and Brother Tor with a greeting, "Hello."

"Hello, Master!" they responded with some restraint.

Mu Shao'ai exchanged some brief pleasantries and then looked at Mu Jinyu, smiling, "Let's head in and take a look. Hopefully, there's something inside worth my attention!"

"Hopefully, it's not just our imagination causing issues. Anyway, you're bored, so joining in isn't a problem." Mu Jinyu laughed nonchalantly before jumping onto Mu Shao'ai's back, exclaiming, "Let's go! Giddy up!"

"Scatter, you rogue!"

Mu Shao'ai's face darkened, immediately shaking Mu Jinyu off.

That rascal, still carefree even now, truly gave him a headache!
