Chapter 702
“Ha ~”
“Boom ~”
Gao Yuan jumped up high and slashed out with the large saber in his hand. A small iceberg in front of him was split into two. An illusionary realm ice beast hiding behind the iceberg was cut into two halves by the sharp saber.
Countless pieces of ice fell down like raindrops. Gao Yuan’s figure flashed and swept past the Ice Beast’s corpse. A black life crystal that was bigger than a fist appeared in his hand.
“You’ve already killed five ice beasts today, right? You’re really lucky!”
Gao Yuan had just put the life crystal into his storage bracelet when a bald old man in a black robe appeared at the side and said with a smile.
This person was none other than great grandfather Hong.
Gao Yuan carried the large saber on his shoulder and patted the few ice particles on his shoulder. He laughed and said, “It’s getting late. We should go back. Otherwise, we’ll be finished if we encounter the ‘White Tide’.”
Great Grandfather Hong looked up at the sky and nodded.
At this moment, a curved white line had already appeared in the sky. This white line was expanding at an extremely fast speed.
When this white line completely covered the entire sky, the most terrifying white tide in the cold region would arrive. At that time, the entire world would be covered in white, and the temperature would drop to the extent that it could instantly freeze the illusory realm cultivators to death.
The two figures flickered between the icebergs and soon disappeared.
The ice beasts killed by Gao Yuan looked similar to snow leopards. They had white fur all over their bodies, and their bodies were enormous. Adult Ice Beasts could reach five meters in length. The higher the level behind them, the larger their bodies would be. It was said that the most powerful ice beast king in the cold domain was sleeping underground. If it woke up and moved, the entire cold domain would shake.
The ice beasts were extremely fast. They hunted the other exotic beasts in the cold region for food. Among the exotic beasts in the cold region, they were at the top of the food chain.
There were many kinds and numbers of other exotic beasts in the cold region. However, due to the harsh climate in the cold region, they couldn’t be compared to the flame region.
After Gao Yuan and great grandfather Hong left, the surface of the ice rumbled, and a large group of white scorpion-like creatures gathered. In less than five minutes, they had already gnawed the ice beast that was more than ten meters long into a skeleton.
The skeleton of this ice beast was actually crystal-like and glistening. Their blood was also transparent. This was probably the origin of the name ‘Ice Beast’!
The creatures that gnawed on the Ice Beast’s corpse were known as ‘White Lice’. Their entire body was snow-white and they were like flies on Earth. They were everywhere. They usually did not approach living creatures and only ate corpses. Their sense of smell was very sensitive. In the cold domain.., the smell of blood could be smelled even from dozens of miles away.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Whistling sounds could be heard.
A large group of white, fleshy-winged, bat-like exotic beasts swooped down from the sky.
The white lice that hadn’t left after eating the ice beasts were taken away by the exotic beasts one by one. The white lice that had eaten the ice beasts had become the food of other exotic beasts.
This creature that ate the white lice was called the winged spirit.
After the group of winged spirits passed by, the white lice that didn’t have the time to drill into the ice layer were all taken away and eaten by the winged spirit.
Although they couldn’t see the white lice, the group of winged spirits still circled around the area a few times. After they didn’t find the white lice, they puffed up their bellies and flew forward along the side of the iceberg.
The winged spirits couldn’t fly high, so they could fly along the iceberg and borrow the power of the airflow.
This was also dangerous.
When the group of winged spirits passed by an iceberg, there was a burst of ‘Pu Pu Pu’sounds. Countless white tentacles extended out from the ice layer.
These tentacles were extremely fast. They were like the tentacles of an octopus, and there were suckers on them. The group of winged spirits that passed by were attacked by these tentacles and flapped their wings to fly higher.
However, a group of large white birds flew over.
After the large white eagle-like birds flew past, only a small portion of the winged spirits that escaped from the tentacles managed to escape.
This eagle-like bird had a wingspan of five meters and had two sharp claws. At the end of its wings was a pair of sharp claws.
This kind of bird was called Tianlu and was the king of the sky in the cold region.
After Tianlu flew away, suddenly, the sound of wind could be heard.
An ice beast that was six to seven meters long jumped over at lightning speed and stopped on the ice layer that had white tentacles.
At this time, there were still many holes on the ice layer.
The ice beast used its two sharp front claws to dig through the ice layer, and in a short while, its entire body entered the ice layer.
Rumble..
After a short moment, the ground started to shake, and the enormous ice beast retreated from the ice hole it dug out, and the ice layer within a radius of tens of meters started to bulge out.
Bang
Suddenly, a loud bang sounded out, and the ice beast used its mouth to pull out ball-shaped creatures with large clusters of tentacles from the ice layer. It used its mouth and claws at the same time, and very quickly, it tore this creature known as the mi duo beast into pieces, it began to eat its fill.
Before the Ice Beast finished eating the Mydo Beast, the white line in the sky had already covered a large area of the sky and was emitting a bright white light.
At this time, it was actually the brightest time in the cold region.
However, the temperature dropped at an extremely fast speed.
The ice beast that had not finished eating glanced at the sky and roared. It picked up the largest piece of meat and ran down the iceberg.
A few minutes later, the ice beast burrowed into an ice cave at the foot of the ice mountain.
This ice cave was very deep and curved, going down a hundred meters into the ground.
When the white tide arrived, only by hiding under the layer of ice could one not freeze to death.
After XI Chenyou and the others came to the cold domain, they had lost a lot of people. Only then did they become familiar with the climate change here.
Gao Yuan and Grand Duke Hong ran among the icebergs for more than twenty minutes before they entered an ice cave. They were the last to return. The moment they entered the ice cave, the two guards guarding the entrance sealed it.
After the white tide arrived, it lasted for about a hundred hours. After the white tide passed, a star would appear in the sky.
At this time, the humans and all kinds of animals living in the cold region could come out and move about. Then, after more than a hundred hours, the white tide would arrive again.
...
In fact, the white tide was equivalent to the night, a night where one couldn’t go out and move about.
The flame region had food like ‘strong valleys’, while the cold region had food called ‘full fruits’.
The name of this kind of food sounded a little vulgar, but it was the main food for humans and vegetarian exotic beasts in the cold region.
The full fruit was first grown in the naturally formed ice cave, which was densely covered in the four walls of the ice cave. Its roots could penetrate hundreds of meters deep into the ice layer, and the fruit grew to be the size of a football. When it matured, its outer shell would turn yellow, at this time, it could be picked.
Only when the valley was cooked would it be delicious. The satiated fruits could directly crack open the hard and crisp outer shell. Then, they could use spoons to dig into the flesh of the fruit that was like the fire dragon fruit inside. The taste was sweet.
As they walked in the ice cave, Gao Yuan and great grandfather Hong randomly picked the satiated fruits on the ice cave wall and ate them as they walked.
After eating, there was a long, finger-thick seed in the satiated fruits. Gao Yuan and great grandfather Hong inserted the seed into the ice cave wall. In less than ten days, these two seeds would sprout and grow.
The fruit and the valley were like treasures given to humans by gods. Those born in the cold and flame regions would not go hungry even in the harsh environment.
Xi Chenyou had brought most of the experts of the eternal shrine to this world.
Many years ago, under the protection of he Luoyang Li, she came to this world and saw this even more exciting world.
After she returned, she could not forget it. She had always wanted to lead the cultivators of that world to this world.
...
However, the conservative Super Star Shrine thought that she was a heretic..
Sitting on the chair in the Ice Palace’s Great Hall, Xi Chenyou recalled the situation of the previous world.
When they used the Weikong warship to come to this world, they had suffered a lot. First, they had to face a harsh environment. Then, they had a war with a tribe in the icy domain, resulting in many casualties.
Right now, Xi Chenyou had less than three thousand people under her command.
According to the ancient rules of this place, Xi Chenyou and the others were considered outsiders. Although they had killed a second-grade tribe, they could only be considered a third-grade tribe. Every once in a while, they had to hand over a certain amount of life crystals, or lice crystals.
Otherwise, there was the danger of extermination.
Although they had not appeared at the place and had been delayed for a long time according to XI Chenyou’s plan, the situation had almost returned to the track of her plan.
This ice palace that was thousands of meters below the ice layer had just been built. The tribe from before was too barbaric. It was just a simple ice cave. Each family would dig a small hole in the big hole to live in..
Clearly, Xi Chenyou did not like this kind of situation. He used the thousands of captives from the previous battles to build such an exquisite ice palace.
The building material for the Ice Palace was a kind of white rock that was wrapped in ice.
This rock was made of fine materials and was a good material for carving runes. The entire ice palace was built magnificently and beautifully, and at the same time, Black Talisman Lord had set up many defensive rune arrays.
Among the people who came to this world with Xi Chenyou, Yang Tian knew Gao Yuan, great grandfather Hong, Black Talisman Master, and Boundless Star Lord.
Although boundless star Lord did not join the eternal life shrine, he had helped Xi Chenyou a lot.
“How was your trip?”
Gao Yuan and great grandfather Hong had just reached the entrance of the Ice Palace and wanted to see Xi Chenyou. Boundless star Lord appeared and asked them with a smile.
“Not bad!”
Gao Yuan said with a smile.
Great grandfather Hong smiled and nodded at Star Lord Boundless.
The three of them greeted him and turned around to look at the entrance of the Ice Palace.
After lying dormant for so long, it was time for them to leave. Although their foundation was built here, this world was very big. It would be a pity if they did not go out and explore it.
The three of them had not seen black talisman Lord for a long time. It was said that that fellow had already left the ice domain. They did not know whether he had gone to the cloud domain or the flame domain..
The three of them glanced at each other before striding into the Ice Palace’s main door.
..
After a rumbling sound, a streak of blue light appeared not far in front of them.
Yang Tian frowned and carefully walked over.
It turned out that the door to a stone room had opened. There was a teleportation array disk inside.
“Hu ~”
Seeing this teleportation array disk, Yang Tian let out a breath. He had finally passed the sixth stage.
To him, the first stage was too strange. The things that appeared were all unbelievable. The first thing was to see the awe-inspiring sky battleship. The second thing was to turn beasts into insects. The third thing was to see living runes.
If the rune arrays in this stage were man-made, then the person who built this stage was too terrifying in terms of runes.
This cave was very deep and could reach even deeper. What had happened previously made Yang Tian very curious about this place.
Looking at the teleportation array, he started to hesitate.
“Hong”
Just as Yang Tian was hesitating and his thoughts of exploring deeper into the cave gained the upper hand, suddenly, a loud sound rang out.
At the same time, the cave shook once again.
Yang Tian turned around to take a look and couldn’t help but widen his eyes. This was because huge rocks had fallen down from the front and back of the cave, sealing the cave.
Now, there was no need for Yang Tian to struggle anymore. This was because he could only leave this place through this teleportation array.
Sighing, Yang Tian walked towards the teleportation array.
He was about to leave. It was not good for the strange program to appear in front of others. The particles that formed its body dispersed and attached themselves to the flesh on Yang Tian’s chest.
After the blue light in front of his eyes disappeared, Yang Tian had already arrived at the entrance of the Lamu Hall.
At the same time, five bells rang in the Lamu Hall.
This meant that Yang Tian had already passed the sixth stage.
“Everyone, you can go back the way you came.”
At the entrance of the sixth stage, a middle-aged man from the Lamu clan appeared. After the bell rang, he said indifferently to the people who were watching the show.
Although his voice was soft, it echoed in everyone’s ears.
Everyone was helpless and could only retreat.
In less than ten minutes, all the spectators had left, leaving behind Hui Ermiaomiao, Ku Man, and the middle-aged man from the Lamu clan.
Ku Man was the manager of the Divine Hall, so the Lamu clan naturally did not dare to neglect him. As for Hui Ermiaomiao, she had come with Yang Tian. Since Yang Tian had not left, she naturally had the right to go up.
The middle-aged man from the Lamu clan did not say anything. With a wave of his hand, a teleportation disk appeared. Following that, he gestured for Ku Man and Hui Ermiaomiao to come up.
..
After leaving the cold domain, Black Talisman Lord had been heading east. He had suffered quite a bit. If he had not cultivated runes, he would have long died in the mouths of strange beasts. He might even have been killed by other cultivators.
When he reached the boundary of the cloud domain, Black Talisman Lord suddenly heard about the existence of the Lamu Mountain and the natural rune arrays. He immediately decided that he would have to experience the natural rune arrays in the cloud flame domain no matter what.
In any case, his main task this time was to scout the way and gather information about the outside world.
Although he had come to this world with he Luoyang Li, there were not many places that Xi Chen had gone to. In addition, after a long time, she did not know much about this world.
When Black Talisman Lord appeared on a teleportation array of Mt. Lamu, Mt. Lamu was ringing with five bells.
Black Talisman Lord used a strange language to ask a passer-by how to experience a natural rune array.
The person he asked only raised his head and pointed at the top of the mountain.
“He’s so young, but he’s so powerful!”
“Yeah! He actually broke six rune arrays of the Lamu clan.”
“Such a talented person can definitely enter the Divine Hall and take up a post. His future is limitless!”
..
As Black Talisman Lord went up, everyone he met was talking about breaking the array.
Before he reached the top of the mountain, Black Talisman Lord understood that it was a child named Mu Yi who had broken the six array glyphs of the Lamu clan in one go. The time it took to break the six array glyphs was the shortest in history.
