Chapter 535 Ice Sculpture

In the end, Li Qing and Shen Ningbing entered the deep underground ice. The temperature inside was extremely cold, and it was freezing to the core!

Even though they were two monks who had reached the elixir formation stage, they couldn't help but feel a strong sense of coldness at this moment.

Obviously, this is no ordinary underground ice layer!

From time to time there would be a breeze blowing above, blowing down pieces of broken ice, making bursts of falling sounds in the deep ice.

The two of them didn't go down very fast. To be on the safe side, Li Qing and Shen Ningbing kept observing their surroundings with their spiritual senses, for fear of missing any suspicious place.

In this way, we continued to explore downward for more than two thousand meters.

Surrounded by eternal ice, the coldness invaded their bodies in waves. Even Junior Sister Shen, who had an ice spirit root, could not help but tighten her lips at this moment.

"It's incredible that this crack in the ice is so deep." Shen Ning Bingtan opened her mouth slightly, and her cold words sounded extremely clear in this environment, and they were also accompanied by echoes.

Li Qing did not answer, but continued to scan below with his spiritual consciousness.

As they continued to move down, both of them suddenly raised their heads and looked at each other with shocked eyes.

Just now, both of them used their spiritual senses to explore a vast underground space!

There is a cave beneath the dark and extremely cold ice!

"Go and have a look!" Shen Ningbing made a decision immediately, and she took the lead and flew cautiously downwards.

The gap in the surrounding ice was getting narrower and narrower, barely able to accommodate one person through, and Li Qing's chest and back were even touching the ice.

Finally, after passing through the narrowest entrance, the space suddenly opened up!

At their feet, a vast underground ice palace appeared in front of their eyes!

"Senior brother, that is"

Before Li Qingduo could take a second look, Shen Ningbing on the side pointed at a human-shaped ice sculpture in front of the Ice and Snow Palace.

After Li Qing saw this ice sculpture, his pupils suddenly shrank.

The face of this ice sculpture is exactly the same as that of Ancestor Bingyun, there is no difference at all!

"Master." Shen Ningbing's voice suddenly became sad, and she was about to fly forward.

However, Li Qing stopped her and prevented her from flying over.

After all, this place was too unfamiliar. He didn't know the reason why Ancestor Bingyun turned into an ice sculpture. If he rushed over rashly, he would probably end up with exactly the same fate as Ancestor Bingyun.

"Junior sister, don't act rashly!"

However, Shen Ningbing knew the reason. Her beautiful eyes were filled with water, and she explained to Li Qing:

"This is a forbidden secret technique in "The True Solution to Ice Essence". When the mana in the body is close to drying up, you can use this forbidden secret technique to forcibly extract the true essence."

"But the price is that part of your body will permanently turn into ice crystals, and it is irreversible."

"Once more than half of one's body is transformed into ice crystals, the remaining flesh and blood body will automatically begin to transform into ice crystals."

As soon as these words came out, Li Qing felt shocked in his heart, and finally understood the predicament that Ancestor Bingyun was in.

She was hunted from the Qingling Territory to the Great Wilderness Territory, and it seemed that she was truly exhausted.

As a last resort, Ancestor Bingyun could only use the forbidden secret technique repeatedly in exchange for the mana to escape.

In the end, it became like this, turning into an ice sculpture and appearing in front of Li Qing and Shen Ningbing.

It seems that Ancestor Bingyun knew that he was at the end of his rope and chose such a burial place for himself when his body was completely transformed into an ice sculpture.

After confirming that it was not external factors that caused Ancestor Bingyun to become like this, Li Qing stopped blocking Shen Ningbing and allowed her to rush to Ancestor Bingyun's ice sculpture.

"Master, my disciple is unfilial and I'm late."

Listening to Shen Ningbing's heartfelt cries of sadness, Li Qing remained silent.

While he was alert to his surroundings, he also approached the ice sculpture of Ancestor Bingyun.

"Did Ancestor Bingyun come a step too late after all?" Li Qing frowned and lowered his head deeply, feeling a sense of deep regret for a moment.

If he can take a step forward after leaving seclusion, can all this be saved?

"Junior sister, is there really no possibility of reversing this forbidden secret technique?" Li Qing asked.

But Shen Ningbing shook her head sluggishly. It could be seen that the whole person was extremely grief-stricken and could not recover.

This was the first time that Li Qing saw Shen Ningbing like this. He was at a loss and lost his mind, as if he had lost all support.

Looking at this scene, Li Qing sighed in his heart.

Ancestor Bingyun was a senior he respected very much, and what he was seeing in front of him was somewhat unacceptable to him.

"Junior sister, you know, when I was young, I didn't even know that there were such things as immortal cultivators in the world."

"We are surrounded by mortals who will experience birth, old age, illness and death. Everyone's biggest dream is to gain fame or become a grandmaster with unparalleled martial arts skills."

"Later, by chance, I truly learned that there are actually immortal cultivators in this world. These people master mysterious immortal spells that are far beyond the understanding of ordinary people."

Hearing this, Shen Ningbing slowly raised her head and looked at Li Qing. A glimmer of hope finally appeared in her originally gloomy eyes.

"Senior brother, what do you mean?" Shen Ningbing asked gently.

Seeing the junior sister who finally had some energy, Li Qing said in a gentle tone:

"I mean, since there are immortal cultivators in this world, what else is impossible to happen?"

"Nothing is absolute. Since the ancestor Bingyun was transformed into an ice sculpture due to the forbidden secret technique, it is possible to transform it back through other methods!"

"There is no way in the Qingling Territory, maybe there is one in the Great Desolate Territory? Even if it is not available in the Great Desolate Territory, you can still go to other great territories!"

"If we have traveled all over the world and still haven't found a solution, we can still ascend to the upper realm."

"The world is vast and nothing is impossible!"

After hearing Li Qing's words, Shen Ningbing's gloomy eyes finally showed a glimmer of light.

But Shen Ningbing said a little unconfidently: "I just ascended to the upper realm."

Li Qing also laughed, and he said: "Junior sister, when I first joined Lingyun Sect, no one even expected me to successfully build the foundation."

This is the truth. Some things that happened in Lingyun Sect naturally appeared in Shen Ningbing's mind.

Back then, Li Qing was too ordinary, with no noticeable features at all.

However, it was such an inconspicuous senior brother who actually stood in front of her, and he was also a monk in the middle stage of pill formation.

All in all, who can say clearly what will happen in the future?

After confirming that Shen Ningbing was no longer in a desperate state, Li Qing also breathed a sigh of relief.

If my junior sister continues to be depressed, it will indeed be a very troublesome thing.

"Senior brother, you will help me, right?" Shen Ningbing looked at Li Qing intently and said.

"Yes, Ancestor Bingyun is my respected senior, and you are also my junior sister, so I will naturally help you."

After saying that, Li Qing looked around and carefully looked at the specific situation of this underground ice palace.
