Weapon seller in the world of magic

Soon enough, they enter the giant portal without any problems on the way.

But once they did, they re-entered the Plane of Ice and Fire, although this time, they teleported to a frozen planet with towering snow-capped mountains stretched like alabaster spires into a pale, star-lit sky. Endless plains of glistening snow shimmered under the auroras, painting the landscape in hues of green and blue.

Crystal-clear ice caverns sparkled like diamond cathedrals while frost-laden forests of ancient, gnarled trees stood silent against howling winds. Amid this frozen splendor, every flake of snow and every gust of frosty air contained dense natural energy, unlike anything Mark experienced so far.

Lan Jing started shivering in the cold, due to the abrupt change in temperatures. Once a native of this place, his body still couldn't adapt to it right away due to spending years on a planet where average temperatures are around 20C. Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire

Mark and Shang Jiao didn't feel a thing as they were enjoying the dense natural energy in the surroundings, which is more than 3000 times denser than natural energy at their home. The high gravitational force also pressured their body but their demigod realm cultivation made them immune to any gravitational force below 100g.

And just like in the previous world, as they were busy admiring the views, a bunch of guards arrived there and displayed hostility, except that this time, it wasn't because of their element but because one of them recognized Lan Jing. The captain is supposedly an old comrade.

Moreover, these were stronger.

Of the seven that arrived there, the leader was immortal; two of them were in the demigod realm, and the remaining four were in the supreme realm. And just like fire giants, these humans didn't have any ether energy.

It made Mark wonder, if all aliens don't have ether, how come Allen had it? Does exposing a human's body to ether energy is the only way to mutate their cells?

Then, how do ether crystals even come to Earth-43?

He remembered hearing from an enemy in the past a mortal plane wasn't supposed to have a world where its inhabitants could cultivate in the first place.

The Orb of Time has been inside the planet's core for a long time. Perhaps, it is the cosmic orb that altered a planet's composition?

In that case, using the Orb of time, can he cultivate ether mines on other planets?

Many thoughts went through Mark's head as he and the other two were tied up and taken to the City of Tianhan, aka Heavenly Cold City, on the top of an ice drake. In the meantime, Ark began its deep scanning of the planet, which would render some of the system's functions like inventory or god eyes not available for the moment. However, Mark was more at ease this time because these weren't enemies but his family.

From the skies, as their eyes fell upon the city under the moonlight, Shang Jiao commented in awe, "This Tianhan City appeared to be like an architectural marvel. Zhen-ge?"

Mark nodded in agreement, looking down at the city.

Captain Lan Haoyu spoke to her, crossing his arms and staring at it with pride, "The buildings and structures were sculpted from the finest glacial ice of Mordor, yet they are anything but fragile. It isn't just there for the beauty with its glowing attribute. It actually takes a demigod to even make a dent into any structure here. Ancient artisans, blessed by our Deity, Lord Blizzard Pegasus, imbued the ice with a mystical resilience that allowed it to endure the harshest conditions."

Tall spires and winding towers rise from the icy landscape like frozen flames, each structure crowned with intricate patterns and carvings.

The walls of Tianhan shimmered like translucent jade, glowing faintly in the moonlight, while bridges and walkways were made of ice that hummed softly underfoot, as though they were alive.

Clad in frost-woven silks and fur-lined armor like the guards that captured them, the citizens were seen moving gracefully. They looked completely like the human Mark knew, and even the weakest civilian, who was as weak as 1-circle, was comfortably walking on the streets under such extremely cold temperatures and high gravity. If anything was different about them, regarding outer physical appearance, it was just that their skin was too pale, and they had blue, glowing eyes, just like Alina.

In the center of the city, an enormous Ice Palace stands, built into the side of the tallest mountain peak. The palace's vast halls are lined with crystal-clear ice sculptures of mythical creatures, their frozen forms capturing the essence of ancient legends.

That is where the three of them were taken into.

After a while, amid several gazes on the way, the three of them were taken to an Elder's court, where seven large and wide bunch of thrones with spikes were placed in an open courtyard kind of place. The ice thrones and the place around already had glowing properties but under the moonlight, it gave off an ethereal vibe.

Mark didn't know what to make of it, but he couldn't care less about the aesthetics for the moment.

Captain Lan Haoyu and the remaining guards, alongside the captured intruders, stayed put for a while until five elderly-looking men and a beautiful middle-aged woman who kinda had similar looks to Lan Jingyi arrived together.

They didn't spare a glance at Lan Jing at all, until they took their seats, leaving the central throne empty.

"Lan Jing, you have returned," said the woman, although she maintained a cold gaze. She addressed the others before glancing at Mark and commenting, "And you had an uncanny resemblance to my other annoying brother."

"Yuxuan…" Lan Jing was about to speak something to her before she suddenly waved her hand, "It's Elder Yuxuan for you, traitor."

Lan Jing was already facing trouble adjusting to the cold temperatures and high gravity. The wave of hand generated an energy palm that swiftly slapped his cheek. As a print of her palm appeared on his cheek, he flew to the side but was caught swiftly by Captain Lan Haoyu. Blood trickled from his trips and his legs turned wobbly, his entire body started shivering, "I…" He looked down and bowed, "I apologize, Elder Yuxuan."

Mark and Shang Jiao's facial expressions hardened upon witnessing the scene. Shang Jiao was about to make a move but Mark hurriedly nudged her with his elbows, gesturing for her to stay calm.

"Now, now, Yuxuan… no need to be so violent. Let's first listen to him," said an elder, who had an amiable smile.

Another elder with long ponytail hair was seen stroking his beard as he silently observed Shang Jiao. "Hmm… this girl… no wonder Lan Jing dared to come here." He commented in a mumble, but it was heard by other elders.

"What is it, Elder Ming?" Asked another elder, named Lan Chao.

Lan Ming then pointed his finger at Shang Jiao, "You girl, come forward a bit. Captain Haoyu, free her constraints."

"Huh?" "Eh?"
