Chapter 1295: Chu Chaoyun\'s Scheme

These places would have been emptied out long ago. How could there be anything good left in them?

Even if there was something, there would not be much. There was a total of ten half-step-Martial-Emperor-level forbidden lands, four Martial-Emperor-level forbidden lands, and one Sovereign-Martial-Emperor-level forbidden land.

"Ao Jiao, help me to go and scout the outside. Help me choose a good route." Xiao Chen did not have much time. Right now, he needed to comprehend the Taiji Dao. There was also the Saber Domain that focused on the saber. Every bit of time he could save was more that he could spend on these.

Ao Jiao flew out of the Immortal Spirit Ring and picked up the map. She smiled and said, "Leave it to me."

After saying that, she flew out silently, moving like a bouncing spirit. As Xiao Chen watched her leave, he revealed a faint smile.

At an island in the Deep Sea leading to a spatial tear connecting to the Demonic World, Chu Chaoyun sat cross-legged while carrying a sword on his back. His eyes were shut as though he was waiting for someone.

"Whoosh!"

Fifteen minutes later, a Winged Demon wrapped in a protective golden light appeared in the sky with flesh wings outspread. This Winged Demon moved quickly, even faster than a meteor. The air could not obstruct this person at all.

Chu Chaoyun opened his eyes and said contemplatively, "Failed?

"Feng Ziyi could not obtain the remaining half of the Sky Dome Heart even when he worked with Yao Manlan. It looks like he returned. What a coincidence! However, this is good too. If this Feng Ziyi obtained it, it would be much more problematic for me to retrieve it."

Chu Chaoyun revealed a smile and slowly stood up. Then, he paced in a circle.

Only one person returned. That means that Yao Manlan was captured. This is a major matter. I wonder what Leng Yue will do. Yao Manlan can be considered her disciple. This is interesting.

After this failure, the Martial God Palace should be more alert. The eighteen Demon Monarchs will not send any more people to make a move.

However, great chaos will soon be here. The wind and rain of this storm are unstoppable.

"I should make my final preparations as well. Ten thousand years is one cycle. I really look forward to the final battle with you. Don\'t die so early."

After coming to know that Feng Ziyi did not manage to obtain the Sky Dome Heart, Chu Chaoyun appeared to be in a good mood. His figure flashed and disappeared from the island.

Back at the Sky Dome Immortal Realm, due to Ao Jiao\'s advanced scouting, Xiao Chen only spent half a month to explore the ten half-step-Martial-Emperor-level forbidden lands completely. Aside from killing a few obstreperous Profound Beasts and obtaining some Profound Cores, he did not gain anything.

Xiao Chen did not even see a Minor Magic Skill, much less a Major Magic Skill. As for the even stronger Supreme Magic Skill, there was no need to even dream of it.

After ten failures with nothing to show for his efforts, Xiao Chen\'s excitement was severely dampened. At first, he had been full of anticipation. Who could have thought that there would be such a result?

Magic Skills were hard to find. Even though this was once the residence of the Sky Dome Immortal Lord, several million years had already passed. It was simply too difficult to find any Magic Skills.

"There are still four Martial-Emperor-level forbidden lands. I hope I really don\'t return empty-handed."

Xiao Chen followed the map and arrived at the first Martial-Emperor-level forbidden land.

An ice-cold lake appeared before his eyes. The cold Qi was overpowering, but the lake did not freeze; it looked incredibly mysterious.

"After I reached a depth of one kilometer, I couldn\'t endure this Frost Water Lake anymore. I was not attacked, but I did not manage to obtain any information at all," Ao Jiao said.

Xiao Chen frowned and said, "Such low temperatures are very damaging to the body. Even with a Golden Emperor Body, one would not be able to withstand it. It is already quite incredible that you managed to descend to a depth of one kilometer."

"In that case, won\'t you be in an even worse state since you only have a half-step Golden Body?"

"Hence, I can remain in it for only half a day at most. After that, I\'ll have to get out."

"Plop!" Xiao Chen jumped into the lake. There were no problems with the initial one hundred meters. After five hundred meters, he needed to circulate his energy to protect himself.

After one kilometer, the cold Qi infiltrated into his body. Aside from circulating his energy to protect his body, he had to split his attention, to eliminate the cold Qi. Fortunately, the cold Qi did not become stronger. He could endure it as long as he did not remain for too long.

Xiao Chen sank for three kilometers before finally reaching the bottom. The ground was covered in a thick and extremely solid layer of ice.

When he knocked on the surface of the ice in the lake bottom, he did not hear any empty spaces in it.

Xiao Chen turned his head and looked around. There were crystalline and transparent ice fish in this lake. They were not large and looked extremely tame. There were many of them, and they did not seem to fear him, swimming around his head without any fear.

There is nothing here. It looks like I made a trip here for nothing.

Xiao Chen stood up, causing a bubble to form and gurgle in the water.

These fish look pretty good. Perhaps I can catch some and barbeque them. They will definitely taste delectable.

Furthermore, they are able to survive in such a cold environment. There might be some unexpected effects.

Aside from the extreme cold, Xiao Chen did not find anything special in this Martial-Emperor-level forbidden land. Having lost interest, he was bored enough to target the ice fish.

Hey, hey, these fish are so cute. How could you think of eating them? In the end, Xiao Chen\'s suggestion incited Ao Jiao\'s objection.

Xiao Chen directly ignored Ao Jiao. After he barbequed the fish, Little Ao Jiao would definitely be drooling at the sight of it.

His hand moved very fast, grabbing an ice fish that swam by as he reached out. In the end, his hand slipped, and the fish slithered out of his grasp.

To think that I failed to capture it! However, since I\'m here already, I definitely cannot return empty-handed.

Xiao Chen was very patient. However, in the end, he still failed to hold on to the ice fish after a few more attempts. They all slithered out.

Furthermore, these ice fish still did not show any fear, even charging at Xiao Chen and spitting at him.

I don\'t believe that I cannot catch you!

Xiao Chen started to get a little angry. He unleashed some of the killing intent in his heart, spreading it out in the lake.

"Whoosh!"

However, while nothing went wrong with the unleashing of killing intent, Xiao Chen suddenly felt some fear.

The instant Xiao Chen revealed his killing intent, the entire lake suddenly turned quiet. Tens of thousands of ice fish stopped swimming and turned around, eyeing him silently. No matter how he looked at it, this formation seemed somewhat strange.

Ao Jiao, why do I feel that something is wrong? It feels like there is a fire burning my skin, but there is no pain at all.

Xiao Chen pulled up his sleeves and took a look. He saw a layer of frost on his skin. When he nudged it, a large patch fell off and revealed his bones.

This scene caused Xiao Chen to turn pale and his hair to stand on end, a chill running down his spine.

The spit that the ice fish spat at him were clearly very high-ranked ice flames. Even his half-step Golden Body could not handle it.

"Tu! Tu! Tu!"

Tens of thousands of ice fish opened their mouths at the same time, and spit-like ice flames shot out like bullets at Xiao Chen in an overwhelming barrage.

This assault scared him half-dead. There had never been a moment where he panicked like this before. He executed his Movement Technique to its limits and quickly swam up.

Fortunately, the group of ice fish did not give chase. After they chased Xiao Chen away, the bottom of the lake recovered its calm.

Xiao Chen broke out of the water, covered in ice flames. After he landed, he immediately sent out the Solar True Flame in his right eye and covered his body with it, eliminating the layer of ice flames on his skin.

After that, he spent a lot of effort, even using his Primordial Energy, to eliminate all the ice flames in his body.

Fortunately, he discovered this early; the ice flames had not penetrated into his meridians and internal organs yet. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble.

Ao Jiao laughed nonstop at Xiao Chen\'s miserable condition, falling to the ground in her laughter.

"Who asked you to be so greedy. I told you not to capture those ice fish already. Now, do you understand the consequences?"

Xiao Chen felt embarrassed. He was chased away by a group of unremarkable fish. He was too embarrassed to argue back.

However, he was now even more interested in this Frost Water Lake.

He had never heard of an ice fish that could spit fire before. Furthermore, it was such a mysterious ice flame. What exactly caused this group of ice fish to undergo such a mutation?

"Hey, you still intend to go down? Are you really going to be unsatisfied if you can\'t eat the fish?" Ao Jiao quickly stopped Xiao Chen when she saw him preparing to enter the water again.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Silly, am I such a glutton? There is definitely something strange with this Frost Water Lake. Have you ever heard of an ice fish spitting fire?

"If there is an opportunity, I have to catch a few. My instincts tell me that these ice fish will definitely be delectable and might have some other wondrous uses."

"Ha, in the end, it is because you are a glutton."

Regardless of the reason, Xiao Chen entered the water again. This time, having learned his lesson, he no longer exposed his killing intent.

The gentle ice fish all ignored him. Or perhaps, it was because the fish were too strong as a group and did not fear him at all.

Xiao Chen walked around the ice layer at the bottom of the lake, where the cold Qi consistently assaulted him. He calmly observed the school of ice fish.

When one looked calmly at the dark and quiet lake bottom, it was actually rather beautiful.

The water plants swayed gently as they gave off motes of spiritual light. The placid and beautiful fish swam about. If Xiao Chen were a painter, he would definitely use a brush to freeze such a beautiful scene on paper.

Aside from the ice fish, there were no large creatures at the bottom of the lake. These ice fish were the absolute overlord of the vast lake bottom.

In hindsight, since even Xiao Chen had to flee in a sorry state after the school of ice fish shot flames at him, how could there be any Profound Beasts that would dare to antagonize them?

How cold! Half the day is almost over, but I still have not found anything. I have to go back up now.

Xiao Chen wanted to remain. However, he could not do anything about the cold Qi attacking him, entering his body and injuring him. So he could not stay for long.

However, the moment he started to swim up, he noticed all the fish quickly swimming in a certain direction. They were not moving in panic. Rather, they radiated a happy aura.

They should be going to forage for food.

"Splash!" Xiao Chen shot out of the lake. Then, he casually dried his clothes and sat down cross-legged, starting to eliminate the cold Qi in his body.

"Let\'s see what exactly this cold Qi is and how come it is so incredible."

With this thought, Xiao Chen shifted all the cold Qi in his body to his palm. Then, a faint mist emerged above his palm.

However, as all the cold Qi in his body was forced out, the mist above his palm slowly coalesced, forming a flame similar to the spit of the ice fish.

Xiao Chen\'s eyes lit up, and he entered deep thought. The flames in the ice fish are definitely not innate. In the end, it has something to do with this lake.

Having confirmed his train of logic, he entered the water once more and followed the fish, to see where they ate.

Their grazing ground was a patch of water plants giving off starlike light. The branches and leaves of the water plants all had drops of a dew-like substance that shone with a cold, serene light.

These drops were the food of the ice fish. As the ice fish ate them, the sparkling lights slowly decreased.

What is this? Xiao Chen exclaimed in surprise.

Ao Jiao\'s eyes lit up. How pretty! Quickly swim over and take a look.

Xiao Chen felt a similar desire in his heart. However, he still retained his rationality. We should be more careful. This place can\'t be that simple. After all, it is classified as a Martial-Emperor-level forbidden land.
