Chapter 984: Battle of the Ice Spirit
The Snow Song Realm King on the Ice Dragon had no breath in his body, and there was no pressure coming down, but Yun Che clearly felt that his heart and soul were pressed down by thousands of mountains, and even his will and faith were trembling in humility.
Yun Che had never felt this feeling before.
This was the highest realm of the Divine Way - the power of the Divine Lord Realm! At this level, she no longer needed to deliberately release her aura. Just existing there would make all living beings kneel down in fear and awe.
Yun Che stood up with everyone else, and his heart was in turmoil... For the first time, he felt his own insignificance so clearly. The Snow Song Realm King above was at the top of the Divine Way, while he himself could not even step into the threshold of the Divine Way. As human beings, the gap between them was so big that it was not enough to describe the difference between thousands of clouds and mud. If he stayed in the Profound Sky Continent and the Illusory Demon Realm for his whole life, he would only be able to sit in a well and watch the world for his whole life.
It's just... I can't see what he looks like at all, which is a bit regrettable.
The great elder Mu Huanzhi stepped forward, raised his head and said solemnly: "Report to the sect master, the seventy-two elders of the temple, the thirty-sixth palace master of the Divine Phoenix, the chief hall master and chief steward of the Frost Snow Palace, the two thousand disciples of the temple, the three thousand five hundred... and the two disciples of the Ice Phoenix Palace are all here, listening to the sect master's holy order!"
"Very good."
The oracle-like voice with supreme heavenly power came down again: "The Dark Frost Heaven Pond is the location of the divine vein of our Snow Song Realm. It is a sacred place. Only one person is allowed to enter every three years, and no one is allowed to cross it. However, the voice of the universe three months ago announced that a big event would happen in all realms, and it is very likely to be close at hand."
The words of the Snow Song Realm King were heavy and overwhelming, and every word seemed to be nailed into the depths of the soul. This overwhelming voice that was enough to make the world tremble made Yun Che picture a woman's face that was extremely cold and heartless, and whose eyes were terrifying enough to make people tremble with fear.
"To this end, the Eternal Heaven Realm has spared no effort to use the power of the Eternal Heaven Pearl for the mysterious practitioners from the outside world. This move by the Eternal Heaven Realm has never been seen before. Then my Snow Song Realm should not be stingy with the power of the Nether Frost Heaven Lake."
"Today, you can all enter the Nether Frost Heaven Lake. How much you gain depends on your own luck! Huanzhi, arrange for them to enter the pool."
"Yes!" When his name was called, Mu Huanzhi's whole body was shocked. He responded heavily, then turned around and said very solemnly: "Everyone, you are the cornerstone of our Ice Phoenix Divine Sect's future. Today, the Sect Master has bestowed the grace of heaven and allowed you to enter the Nether Frost Heaven Lake. This is a great fortune that has never been seen before! Tianchi Divine Lake The power will help you to be reborn, and it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation of ice profound power. "
"The preliminary selection for the Xuanshen Conference in two years will be in the Eternal Heaven Pearl, but once you enter it, you will benefit a lot from its unique power law. And today's Tianchi Grand Meeting will allow more of you to qualify to enter the Eternal Heaven Pearl in two years. Everyone has different physiques, talents, and comprehension abilities. How much you can gain today depends on you. You just need to remember that after today, there may never be such an opportunity again!"
After giving a heavy-hearted instruction, Mu Huanzhi waved his hand.
The Temple came first, and the Ice Phoenix Palace followed. Under the guidance of the elders and the Palace Master, they flew to the sky above the Nether Cold Heaven Lake in unison.
The closer they were to the Nether Cold Heaven Lake, the more concentrated the extremely pure ice aura became. Mu Xiaolan's cultivation was only at the middle stage of the Divine Origin Realm. Apart from Yun Che's weakest profound strength, her ability to resist the cold was naturally the worst. She had to use all her profound strength to resist the cold, but at the same time, she was also extremely excited to feel that here, the circulation and recovery speed of the icy profound energy were several times faster than usual.
Mu Bingyun led Yun Che and Mu Xiaolan to the back, but she did not lead the two into the sky above the Dark Cold Heavenly Lake, but stopped at the edge of the lake.
"Xiaolan, Yun Che," Mu Bingyun turned around and looked at Mu Xiaolan and Yun Che. One of them was surrounded by profound energy, but still shivering from the cold, while the other was calm. "You two have too low cultivation bases. Forcing your way into the Heavenly Nether Frost Pond will only do more harm than good. You two should stay here. The cold air here is also generated from the Heavenly Nether Frost Pond. Soaking in it and tempering your bodies with the cold air will greatly improve your ability to control the ice profound force, which will be of great benefit to your future cultivation."
"Yes, Master."
Mu Xiaolan had no objection. She knew that her ability was not enough to touch the water of the Heavenly Nether Pond. Being able to touch the cold air here that contained extremely high ice laws was a good fortune that she had never dared to hope for in the past.
She sat down quietly, took a quick breath, closed her eyes, and did not dare to waste every breath here.
The water of Tianchi was right in front of him. After a moment of hesitation, Yun Che finally said, "Palace Master, I want to try..."
"Remember what you promised me before," Mu Bingyun seemed to have anticipated what he was going to say, and interrupted him directly, with a solemn face: "Do whatever I want you to do, and don't do what I don't want you to do."
Yun Che opened his mouth and had to nod obediently: "Yes."
He sat down next to Mu Xiaolan, and at this time, Mu Bingyun's voice suddenly rang in his ears:
"You have a different physique, you can forcibly practice the Ice Phoenix Conferred God Canon without the Ice Phoenix bloodline, and the cold air here has no effect on you, so although your profound power is low, the water of Tianchi should not hurt you. However, you are now famous. If you successfully immerse yourself in the water of Tianchi with your Junxuan body, it will definitely cause another wave, which will not be good for you."
"The sect master and I feel guilty about you, and perhaps we will choose another day to allow you to come here alone."
"..." Yun Che raised his head and looked at Mu Bingyun's never turning back for a while. He felt warm in his heart and quickly calmed down. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate on feeling the pure cold air here and comprehending the laws of ice within it. , no longer care about things around you.
This is Ninghan Tianchi, and with Mu Bingyun at his side, Yun Che doesn't need to put up any defenses. Soon, his consciousness sank unconsciously, and even the sound was isolated from him.
Mu Bingyun did not walk into the Netherfrost Heavenly Lake, but just stood in front of the two of them. At this time, Mu Sushan walked past from behind, glanced at Yun Che, paused in shock, and then sighed: "In just three months, he has already reached the peak of the Junxuan realm, and the profound energy is so stable... Palace Master Bingyun, I really can’t think of how you managed to train him to this point.”
Mu Bingyun shook her head slightly: "It has nothing to do with me."
"Haha, we can only say that this kid is a weirdo who goes against common sense." Mu Sushan said.
Mu Bingyun smiled extremely indifferently and did not comment.
The other thirty-five Ice Phoenix Palaces have arrived above Netherfrost Tianchi. In the first palace, Mu Yizhou glanced at Yun Che who was sitting by the pool. A contemptuous sarcastic smile flashed past, and then he didn't bother to look at him again. Then he followed the palace master's guidance and slowly sank down, turning his body. Little by little fell into the Netherfrost Heavenly Lake.
The moment his toes touched the water of the Netherfrost Pond, a burst of cold air instantly shot up and spread all over his body, as if his whole body was suddenly sealed into the legendary icy hell. The profound energy all over his body was like a sudden boiling flame, flowing at an extremely fast speed.
There were ripples in the Netherfrost Heavenly Pond, and the flying ice spirits were scattered far away. All the temple disciples and the Ice Phoenix Palace disciples outside the Thirty-sixth Palace have entered the Tianchi. The terrifying cold air made them feel like falling into an ice prison the moment they entered. They were in excruciating pain, but their hearts were so excited that they almost exploded. Everyone immediately mobilized their thoughts and profound power to control and guide the cold air.
Although they had just entered, under the pure cold air from the Netherfrost Heavenly Lake, they could feel that their bodies and profound veins were undergoing changes that were large enough to be clearly perceived.
Although I have heard about the magic of Ninghan Tianchi for a long time, now that I have entered Ninghan Tianchi in person, I am still as pleasantly surprised as if I was in a dream. In their ecstasy, they even tolerated the pain caused by the extreme cold.
Compared to the Ice Phoenix Palace disciples, the expressions of the temple disciples were much calmer. Mu Hanyi and Mu Feixue, who attracted the most attention, had calm expressions on their faces and eyes as they immersed themselves in the Tianchi.
Except for Mu Bingyun, Yun Che, and Mu Xiaolan, everyone has entered the Tianchi. However, the elders and palace masters did not immediately start to temper themselves with the pool water like the disciples. After waiting for a long time, they all turned their attention to the great elder Mu Huanzhi.
Especially the thirty-nine elder Mu Yunzhi, his breathing was slightly disordered.
The Great Elder Mu Huanzhi himself was also very anxious. Finally, he felt relieved and raised his head and said: "Sect Master, regarding the matter of direct disciples..."
As soon as these words came out, a large number of temple disciples instantly opened their eyes and looked at Mu Hanyi and Mu Feixue.
"Of course I haven't forgotten it."
The voice of the Snow Song Realm King came from above the ice dragon: "Now that we have arrived at the Netherfrost Heavenly Lake, there is no need for many complicated trials for me to personally teach my disciples!"
A blue light suddenly shone down from the sky, forming a strange-shaped profound formation. Then, a wave of water from the Tianchi suddenly rose up and fell into the mysterious formation in the air.
At the end of the Xuan Formation, the trapped water from the Tianchi slowly dripped down and fell into the Tianchi, making a crisp "ding" sound. It was completely different from dripping water, and was as crisp as the collision of ice crystals.
"Sect Master, what does this mean?" Mu Huanzhi asked in confusion.
Mu Hanyi raised his head, and his eyes, which were usually as light as autumn water, released intense heat.
"After three hours, the Tianchi water in the formation will drain out. When it drains out, whoever attracts the most Tianchi ice spirits will be my next direct disciple!!"
There was a brief moment of astonishment, and then everyone reacted immediately. Mu Huanzhi shouted "Sect Master is wise" with sincerity, then turned around like lightning and roared like thunder: "Feixue!"
On the other side, Mu Yunzhi also rushed to the sky above Mu Hanyi. With a wave of his palm, he pushed away all the other disciples within a hundred feet of Mu Hanyi: "Hanyi, start now!"
The ice spirits in Netherfrost Tianchi are by no means ordinary ice spirits. Each of them is transformed by the cold air of Tianchi, and has a high level of consciousness and an almost complete soul. Such ice spirits, even if they are pure practitioners of ice-based mystical skills, it is extremely difficult not to be rejected by them, let alone communicate with them.
Therefore, although this "trial" from the Snow Song Realm King seems extremely simple, it is a comprehensive test of a person's physique, talent, understanding of laws, and ability to control.
The closer your body is to the ice power, the more thorough your understanding of the ice laws, and the stronger your ability to control the ice power, the less likely you are to be rejected by the Tianchi Ice Spirit, and you can then try to communicate with it. Then gradually attract them... If the control of ice power is strong enough, you can even control these ice spirits for your own use.
In contrast, the corresponding Xuan Dao cultivation level is not too important.
Historically, the king of the realm did not pay much attention to the cultivation level at that time when selecting his direct disciples. Because a temporary cultivation level is only a temporary cultivation level, the ability to understand and control the laws determines the speed of cultivation and the upper limit that can be achieved in the future!
This is why Mu Hanyi and Mu Feixue are only in the middle of the pack among the disciples in the temple, but they are recognized as the two most qualified to become the direct disciples of the Realm King.
But then again, people with such high talents will naturally have high cultivation levels among people of the same age. Mu Hanyi and Mu Feixue are both unmatched in their cultivation levels among their peers in the entire Yinxue Realm. After all, talent and strength go hand in hand.
Without Mu Yunzhi's reminder, Mu Hanyi's body was already emitting blue light. Within a few breaths, he had already exerted his ice power to the limit. The rich and pure cold air carried his soul power to the surroundings.
On the other side, Mu Feixue's beautiful eyes were closed, and her expression was as holy as a snow lotus in her quietness. Just thirty feet in front of her, an ice spirit that was about to fly away suddenly slowed down, and then gradually stopped. After a long silence, it seemed to be hesitant, and flew towards Mu Feixue lightly and slowly.
Of course, it was not only Mu Hanyi and Mu Feixue who attracted the ice spirit. Almost all the disciples of the temple had fully released their profound power and soul power... Although they knew that their hopes were slim, if they could become the master's personal disciple, it would undoubtedly be a step to heaven. Even if the hope was slim, they had to try their best.
The water of the Tianchi in the mysterious formation fell drop by drop, driving the passage of time. On the Nether Frost Tianchi, a fierce battle for the Tianchi Ice Spirit began, extremely quiet and extremely fierce.
On the side of the Tianchi, Yun Che's consciousness had completely sunk, and he could not sense any existence in the outside world. He was completely unaware of the fierce battle in the Nether Frost Tianchi, and even the words of the Snow Song Realm King before.
Under his five senses, the speed at which the cold air of the Tianchi rushed into his body was dozens of times faster than that of Mu Xiaolan beside him. Under the pure and clean cold air that contained extremely high power laws, the profound energy in Yun Che's body drove the cold air to circulate rapidly, and it changed quietly in each circulation.
