Chapter 320: Mysterious Ice Palace, Strange First Appearance
Come out of the vortex channel.
What comes into view is a vast and boundless sky of ice and snow.
Just stood still.
A strange cry came from above his head. When he looked up, he saw a Wind-Splitting Beast. Fu Shaoping's pupils shrank.
The Wind-Splitting Beast has a bird's body and a fish's tail, wings that are over ten feet wide, two pairs of sharp claws, and scales on its belly. Although it is only at the fourth level of cultivation, its escape speed is fast enough and its body is like a ghost. It is the monster that Yuandan cultivators are most afraid of encountering.
"Chirp!"
The Wind-Splitting Beast flapped its wings.
A tornado immediately swept in with a devastating force, as if it would tear Fu Shaoping apart in an instant.
hum!
Fu Shaoping pointed at the Three Yang Orb floating in front of him, and the orb burst out with balls of yellow light. Then three suns condensed and moved around his body.
A hurricane hits.
But he couldn't get close to Fu Shaoping at all.
I saw a yellow light surging under his feet, and his body disappeared in the eye of the hurricane in an instant. The next moment, he appeared behind the Wind-Splitting Beast like a ghost, and the Thunder Sword in his hand slashed at the weak part of the Wind-Splitting Beast's neck with a lightning speed.
"Chirp!"
The Wind-Splitting Beast was obviously surprised.
Unexpectedly, Fu Shaoping's body movement was even faster than it.
In a hurry.
But the scales on his abdomen bounced up and turned into shields to block in front of him.
Boom!
Wherever the Thunder Sword passed, the scale shield was shattered.
But with this turning point, the Wind-Splitting Beast flapped its wings and immediately flew into the air. At this moment, the sight in front of its eyes darkened.
"Chirp!"
The Wind-Splitting Beast, which was pulled into the dark realm, let out a cry of panic.
next moment.
But the Thunder Sword reappeared.
This time, it was flowing upstream from the ground. Before the Wind-Splitting Beast could react, a sword energy flashed past her neck with a swish sound.
A thud.
The head and body of the Wind-Splitting Beast were separated.
It hit the ground hard.
Fu Shaoping retracted his magic spell, and the world returned to white again.
At the same time, he waved his sleeves.
The demon pill of the Wind-Splitting Beast slowly floated up and landed in his palm. He threw the corpse of the Wind-Splitting Beast directly to the God and Demon Tree, and Fu Shaoping continued to move forward.
After breaking through to the ninth level of Yuandan Realm.
Whether it was using the magical power of shrinking the earth into an inch or activating the evil-repelling divine thunder of the Thunder Sword, it became much easier than before, and killing a Wind-Splitting Beast was less troublesome and laborious than before.
The entire Nine Heavens Ice Road.
He found that the further he went in, the lower the temperature became. Even with the Three Yang Pearls, he could not resist the biting cold, so he quickly put on his cold-proof clothes.
After climbing over a hill.
What came into view was an ice palace, and night had already fallen.
According to the two so-called cheap masters, the checkpoint of the Nine Heavens Ice Road would take half a year, so he was not in a hurry to travel:
"Let's rest in the Ice Palace tonight."
There are two stone sculptures nearly a hundred feet high at the gate of the Ice Palace. If you look closely, these stone sculptures look like dragons but not dragons, and like phoenixes but not phoenixes. Their eyes are closed and mysterious runes are engraved on them, as if someone has sealed the eyes of these two stone sculptures.
Outside the Ice Palace.
There is a simple maze array.
Although Fu Shaoping had not practiced the art of formation, his spiritual awareness was strong enough and he passed it successfully after trying several times. After entering from the gate of the Ice Palace, the scene in front of him stunned him.
However, the ice palace was filled with ice sculptures, but these ice sculptures were in human form, and judging from their state, they were obviously unaware of the situation before being frozen, so they did not show any signs of panic:
"This place is weird!"
Fu Shaoping withdrew immediately without thinking.
just.
When turning around.
It was discovered that the original door of the Ice Palace had disappeared at some point.
The spiritual sense scanned back and forth several times.
Still no trace of the person who just came in:
"what happened?"
This ice palace is becoming more and more weird.
Fu Shaoping frowned. Since he couldn't get out, he could only go with the flow.
Walk around the human-shaped ice sculptures in the square.
It was discovered that there was a headless statue enshrined in the main hall. No one had entered the statue for three hundred years, but it was spotless. The candles on the altar suddenly ignited automatically with a bang.
Followed by.
In the main hall.
It seemed that thousands of believers appeared and were praying for something, but when I looked closely, I saw that the main hall was empty, with nothing in it:
"This place is really weird!"
Fu Shaoping didn't want to stay here for another second.
A sudden thought occurred.
Then he escaped into the chaotic space.
but.
However, he still kept a close eye on the situation in the Ice Palace.
About half an hour passed.
There was a sound of footsteps.
But three fake infant monks rushed in:
"Brother, sister, come and look, there are so many human-shaped ice sculptures here. Hey, their storage bags are still on their bodies. Brother, we are rich!"
Ye Chenglin was very excited when he saw the ice sculpture on the square. He was about to use a spell to melt the ice sculpture and take out the storage bag, but his eldest brother Ye Chengfeng raised his hand to stop him:
"Third brother, don't be impulsive. These ice sculptures may still be alive."
"Hey, brother, now that you mention it, these ice sculptures really do look alive."
When the two studied the ice sculpture.
Second sister Ye Chengwan looked around and said in panic:
"Big brother, third brother, come here quickly, the palace gate we entered is gone."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenglin and Ye Chengfeng turned around and took a closer look. All they could see of the entire palace were high walls. The palace gate seemed to have evaporated. They walked around but still found no clues.
Ye Chengwan frowned and said:
"Brother, this place is too strange for us to stay here for long. Let's try to get out first."
"Second sister, what you said is absolutely right. I also had the same idea."
Ye Chengfeng nodded quickly.
Ye Chenglin was a little reluctant:
"Brother, sister, when our ancestors of the Ye family came here before, they didn't find such an ice palace. Maybe there are some opportunities hidden here. When we go outside, we have to deal with endless high-level monsters. Don't you feel that the power of ice has weakened a lot here? Anyway, we won't stay long. We will leave at dawn tomorrow. How about taking a break here?"
"no"
Ye Chengwan flatly refused.
talking.
Touch the ground with your toes.
His figure leaped toward the outside of the palace wall, but when he was halfway in the air, he saw a brilliant divine light shining from the center of the palace wall. The divine light transformed into a protective light shield that fell upside down, completely sealing off the entire ice palace.
Bang.
Ye Chengwan turned back:
"This"
The scene before her made Ye Chengwan feel uneasy. There were very few people who practiced the divine power system, and it was unpredictable. The longer she stayed in this place, the more uneasy she felt.
Ye Chenglin, who had been thinking about staying, was also choking and said with some fear:
"Brother, Sister, this Ice Palace is not a place where you can enter but not exit, right?"
"Shut up your crow mouth!"
Ye Chengwan shouted, and immediately slapped her storage bag. A flash of light appeared, and several magic tools for testing the magic array flew out one by one, probing around the palace wall, trying to find a way to break the array.
Ye Chengfeng comforted the nervous Ye Chenglin:
"Don't worry, your second sister is a fifth-level formation master, she will definitely be able to find a way to break the formation."
But an hour or two passed.
Ye Chengwan used all the detection tools in her hand, but found nothing:
"The magic formation of this ice palace is formed by the condensation of divine power. It is naturally brilliant. I can't find any way to break the formation. Big brother, third brother, we can only stay here tonight."
Ye Chengwan waved her sleeves.
All detection tools were put into the storage bag.
Ye Chengfeng was the eldest brother so he was relatively calm. He looked around carefully and said:
"Second sister, since we can't get out, you can set up the Ten Thousand Souls Formation. With the protection of this formation, the three of us will definitely be able to hold on until tomorrow."
"Um"
Ye Chengwan nodded slightly.
One shot storage bag.
One hundred and eight formation flags and thirty-six formation plates were seen falling one by one in different special locations of the square. Along with spells being cast one after another, top-grade spirit stones fell into the central formation plate. After the source of power was activated, there was a humming sound. A strong cold wind blew around, and ghosts condensed and appeared, hovering around them.
After this formation is set up.
Ye Chengwan was obviously a little weak.
Ye Chengfeng said hurriedly:
"Second sister, you sit in meditation to recover your magic power. Third brother, you should also take a rest. I will be on duty for the first half of the night, and you will be in charge of the second half."
"yes, Sir."
Ye Chengwan immediately sat cross-legged and swallowed the pill.
Ye Chenglin was unable to concentrate, so he came over and tried to discuss the matter:
Brother, I am very energetic and not sleepy at the moment, why don't you take a rest first and I will take care of the night shift."
Ye Chengfeng hesitated for a while.
But still worried:
"Then you have to pay attention to your surroundings and give the alarm immediately if there is any movement. Also, do not step out of the Ten Thousand Souls Formation and do not cause trouble. Do you understand?"
"Brother, don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore."
After Ye Chengfeng also entered into meditation.
Ye Chenglin was still extremely cautious at the beginning.
But as time passed and there was nothing unusual in the entire palace, his curiosity overcame the fear in his heart. He stood up and walked to the edge of the Ten Thousand Souls Array, and headed towards the main hall through the array.
At this time in the main hall.
A ray of warm light rises.
But he saw a woman as beautiful as a fairy kneeling in the hall.
Like praying for something.
The statue in the main hall is covered by a mysterious light and cannot be seen clearly:
"Hey, when did this fairy come in?"
Was I distracted just now?
Ye Chenglin is a man of extraordinary talent. After he was born, he made a breakthrough to the False Infant Realm smoothly with the help of the clan's resources. This time, he came to participate in the Heavenly Punishment Small World to hone his mind in order to prevent himself from dying from the inner demon calamity when breaking through the Infant Realm.
If not.
The Ye family would definitely not let this precious baby take risks.
Ye Chenglin looked back at his two elder brothers who were meditating, and whispered to the fairy in the main hall:
"This fairy, you just came in from outside, are you alone? This ice palace is very strange. If you don't mind, you can stay with the three of us brothers and sisters. We have the Ten Thousand Souls Formation, so it will be safer."
The fairy in the main hall slowly turned around.
Now I can see his face.
It was even more shocking.
Ye Chenglin's eyes were wide open, and after meeting the fairy's gaze, he began to become dazed. He subconsciously pinched the magic spell and hit the central array plate, trying to open the magic circle to let the fairy outside in.
It was just that he had just entered a spell.
Ye Chengwan, who was guarding the central array, opened her eyes like lightning, and quickly sent a spell into the central array. The Ten Thousand Souls Array, which had originally had a tiny gap, immediately closed again. Ye Chengwan's face looked very ugly:
"Third brother, what are you doing?"
"what?"
Ye Chenglin was a little dumbfounded. He had completely forgotten what happened just now. He didn't know why he opened the magic circle. He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine and his throat dry.
"Second sister, I...I don't know either."
Seeing this, Ye Chengwan wanted to scold him.
Ye Chenglin sighed and stood up, shaking his head at Ye Chengwan. Ye Chenglin had caused a lot of trouble along the way, and it was almost always the two of them who had to clean up the mess. Ye Chengwan had obviously reached the limit of her tolerance. Ye Chenglin shook his head at Ye Chengwan, and when they were fighting from time to time, he comforted Ye Chengwan and said to Ye Chenglin:
"Third brother, you go and rest. I will keep watch."
"yes, Sir."
Ye Chenglin was also scared.
Even if I couldn't enter into meditation at this moment, I didn't dare to take on the responsibility of night duty.
After closing his eyes and chanting the Heart Cleansing Mantra, he finally relaxed slowly. By the second half of the night, he had completely entered a state of meditation.
at this time.
In his ears, his elder brother's voice rang:
"Third brother, look at the ice sculpture on your left. Is the orb in the hands of the person inside the sculpture the Fiery Sun Orb?"
Blazing Sun Pearl?!
That is a treasure of Lingbao level.
There is this thing.
The three brothers and sisters will definitely be able to pass the Nine Heavens Ice Road safely.
Ye Chenglin suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the man in the ice sculpture on the left was holding a Fiery Sun Pearl. He had not noticed it just now.
"Third brother, quickly break the ice sculpture and take out the Fiery Sun Pearl."
"yes, Sir!"
Ye Chenglin responded excitedly.
He immediately mobilized his magic power, and the Heavenly Fire Divine Chain in his hand broke through the air with a whoosh sound, and shot towards the ice sculpture at lightning speed.
at the same time.
behind him.
A rebuking voice sounded:
"Third brother, what are you doing!!"
The words have not yet been spoken!
But then a shield blocked the Heavenly Fire Divine Chain as fast as lightning.
Ye Chengfeng stood in front of Ye Chenglin with a frosty face.
Ye Chenglin took back the Skyfire Divine Chain with some grievance:
"Brother, didn't you ask me to break the ice sculpture and take out the Fiery Sun Pearl inside? Why are you so fierce?!"
"When did I ever ask you to break the ice sculpture?!"
"Just now"
Halfway through the sentence.
Ye Chenglin approached the ice sculpture.
There is no such thing as a Fiery Sun Pearl inside.
Ye Chenglin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat:
"Brother, who was the one who sent me the message just now?"
In the magic circle.
Obviously something was mixed in that they didn't know about!
At this time, Ye Chengwan also woke up from her meditation. She quickly cast a series of spells into the Ten Thousand Souls Array, but then a strong cold wind blew and the rolling cold energy quickly came back and swept through the place where they were several times.
But nothing.
Ye Chengwan gritted her teeth and said:
"It must be something that broke in when Third Brother opened the magic circle. This thing can confuse the mind. Big brother, quickly light the concentration incense!"
The unknown is the scariest thing.
and.
The voice asked them to open the ice sculpture. Perhaps the person in the ice sculpture was really still alive!
