Chapter 132: The Mysterious Ice Emperor! Eternal Frozen Ground
[However, you can only sigh in your heart and continue to practice hard. Neither the Holy Land of Heavenly Sword nor the Ice Palace could protect Bing Ningyue, so it is useless to think too much.]
[Just like that, another five years passed. You and Cai Yonglong successfully found a ninth-grade precious medicine that could help improve the quality of Xuandan. With this, Cai Yonglong successfully condensed the pill and condensed the third-grade Xuandan.]
[Although the third-grade Xuandan is far inferior to the flawless Xuandan you condensed, this is the limit of what you can do at present. There is no other way. You can only hope that after you become stronger in the future, you can use the opportunity to improve the grade of Xuandan. ]
[You continue to travel around Tianhai Country and its surrounding countries, looking for various opportunities.]
[Twenty years later, with the help of Cai Yonglong's golden finger, you have obtained several very useful opportunities, and your cultivation has successfully reached the great perfection of the Xuandan realm. And Cai Yonglong's cultivation has also reached the eighth level of the Xuandan realm.]
[Although you were very cautious and did your best to be clean and neat while intercepting opportunities in Tianhai Country and its neighboring countries, you inevitably made a name for yourself. However, this also made you targeted by some powerful people. A powerful person in the Yin-Yang Realm saw that the method you practiced was not simple, and it was very similar to the Wind and Thunder Art left by the powerful Fenglei Taoist Fenglei in the Nirvana Realm.]
[When the Nirvana Realm inheritance was first introduced, it caused a great sensation, and some Life and Death Realm and Yin and Yang Realm masters died because of it. In the end, someone else took advantage of it.]
[For this reason, many powerful people have begun to search for you and Cai Yonglong's whereabouts. You are terrified, knowing that you have been exposed, and quickly flee to the sea, intending to return to the Black Turtle Continent to escape the pursuit.]
[You were very cautious, but you were still one step behind in the end. You were caught by a cunning Yin-Yang Realm master while escaping. You and Cai Yonglong teamed up to fight the enemy, but because of the huge difference in cultivation, you were no match.]
[At the critical moment, Cai Yonglong chose to self-destruct, which gave you an opportunity. You successfully used your own magical power to severely injure this Yin-Yang Realm master. The other party was terrified that you had the power to injure him, so he fled far away.]
[You sighed in your heart. You didn't expect Cai Yonglong to die like this. The cultivation world is really cruel. However, you don't have much time to feel sad. You continue to flee.]
[You know, if you flee normally, you will definitely be targeted by those cunning and powerful people in the end, and you will not have the chance to escape back to the Black Turtle Continent.]
[Finally, you chose to use a broken array disk that Cai Yonglong and you found to teleport. You had no idea where you would be teleported to, so you left it entirely to fate.]
…
"Oh my goodness, it's time to be hunted again..."
Wang Ping was speechless as he looked at the simulation content.
The recent simulations have all involved various big shots, which made him almost forget his previous experience of being hunted.
Now, look what happened. I’m being hunted again.
Moreover, just like before, he was hunted down because his martial arts skills were exposed.
All I can say is, the more good things he has, the greater the possibility that he will be targeted by the powerful.
Those powerful ones may not care about the lower-grade heavenly skills and martial arts practiced by casual cultivators in the Xuandan realm, but if it is a higher-grade heavenly skill or even a top-grade heavenly skill, they will definitely snatch it.
After all, none of the big sects have this level of skills.
For example, the great sects and royal family of Tianhai Kingdom probably practiced only the middle-grade heavenly level, or at most the upper-grade heavenly level.
It is a heavenly grade supreme skill, and only a few powerful beings in the realm of life and death or the realm of nirvana who have great opportunities are qualified to practice it.
Of course, there are also those powerful sects, but they definitely do not include forces of the level of the Tianhai Kingdom’s royal family and the Tianhai Kingdom’s major sects.
"It's really troublesome to be a casual cultivator. As expected, I still have to refresh my talent that can conceal my identity as a time traveler, and then join the Heavenly Sword Holy Land. There may be risks in the holy land, but at least I won't be hunted down just because of a heaven-level top-grade technique."
Wang Ping sighed in his heart and thought to himself.
Afterwards, Wang Ping stared at the screen again, wanting to see whether he could escape this time, or would be killed by the incomplete formation.
[Because the incomplete array was unstable, you died once during the teleportation process. You survived with the resurrection talisman and successfully teleported to an unfamiliar place, where you fell to the ground seriously injured. If it weren't for the powerful recovery ability brought by the power of Nirvana, you would have died. Two lives would not be enough.]
[You open your eyes with great effort, and find that you are in front of a world covered in ice and snow. The biting cold makes you feel very uncomfortable. You are seriously injured and your strength is exhausted. You know that if you continue like this, you will definitely die. You struggle and use the last bit of your strength to call for help.]
[However, this place seems to be extremely cold and uninhabited. Your calls for help go unanswered, and your vision gradually becomes blurred.]
[Before you passed out, you saw a girl with blue braids, holding a bamboo house, riding on a white fox, and running towards you at a very fast speed.]
[When you wake up again, you find yourself in a tent, lying on the bed, being fed medicine by a girl with pigtails, and the white fox next to you is covering your belly with its tail, as if to keep you warm.]
[You looked at the girl with a look of astonishment, and instinctively said something like 'Bing Ningyue, it's great that you're not dead', which made the girl look puzzled.]
[The girl gently said that she was not the Bing Ningyue you mentioned, she was just a wanderer in this eternal frozen land, her name was Xueer.]
[You fell into silence, not knowing what to say for a moment. Because the girl in front of you looks exactly like the Bing Ningyue in your memory, there is no difference. If you insist on saying there is a difference between the two, it is that Bing Ningyue is a cold type, while the girl in front of you is gentle and lovely.]
[In the end, you can only sigh. There will always be some similar flowers in this world. You think too much. Bing Ningyue is dead. The person in front of you is just a flower similar to Bing Ningyue. ]
[Next, you calm down and thank Xue'er for saving your life, and you will repay her in the future. Xue'er smiled softly, saying that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and she has accumulated merits, so you don't have to worry too much. ]
[You were moved by the girl's smile and words, and you were filled with emotion. You didn't expect there was such a girl in the world. Then, you didn't argue about this topic any more, because it was meaningless. It's enough to say it once to repay a favor. In the future, you should see actions instead of just talking.]
[Next, you find that your body is in a mess, your injuries are extremely serious, and it seems that a terrifying cold air has entered your body. It will probably take a long time to fully recover from your injuries.]
[You feel helpless about this, and have no other options, so you can only choose to recover from your injuries. You curiously ask the girl what kind of place this is.]
[The girl told you. This is the outer area of the eternal frozen land. After hearing this answer, you were shocked. You didn't expect that you could be teleported to such a long distance.]
[The eternal frozen land is no longer in the Sword Region, or even in the Eastern Wasteland, but is located in Central Continent.]
[There are five continents in the Purple Spirit Realm: East Wasteland, West Desert, South Ridge, North Plain, and Central Continent. Central Continent, located in the center of the Purple Spirit Realm, is a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It has the most holy places and has produced the most geniuses and evildoers.]
[However, this is only the situation in the cultivation world. In terms of the environment, ten thousand years ago, Central Continent was not icy cold, and there was no cold land. Even cultivators who practiced ice attributes could create ice and snow weather within a certain range, but they were only a minority.]
[Not to mention, a cultivator who can reach this level of cultivation also has the ability to cross the five continents. Therefore, ten thousand years ago, most ice-attribute cultivators also chose to go to Beiyuan, which is the base camp for practicing the Way of Ice. Beiyuan, with its cold weather and many ice-related treasures, is the most suitable place for ice-attribute cultivators to practice.]
[However, this point has changed after the war ten thousand years ago. The war ten thousand years ago spread throughout the entire Purple Spirit Realm, and various strong men fought each other. And once the strong men in the Emperor Realm fought a life-and-death battle, it would be too terrifying. In order to prevent the Purple Spirit Realm from being affected, many emperors dragged the blood demons to fight outside the domain or brought them into the small world. ]
[However, there are exceptions to everything. The number of emperors on the Blood Demon Clan side is slightly greater than that of the Purple Spirit Realm. No matter how the emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm tried to stop them, they still missed a few.]
[The existence of the emperor level is like a dimensionality reduction attack on those below the emperor level. No one can stop them. Even the king level strongmen are just like ants in front of them and will be killed at will. ]
【Finally, a cultivator stood up. Her name was Ji Bingyan, and she was the Ice Emperor's biological sister. Her cultivation was at the Quasi-Emperor level. However, Ji Bingyan, who was only at the Quasi-Emperor level, relied on her own forbidden secret method to freeze herself, and also permanently freeze several Blood Demon Clan Emperor-level beings.】
[And the place where she performed the forbidden secret technique was also completely frozen, turning into eternal permafrost, permanently changing the climate.]
[For this reason, after the war, the world gave Ji Bingyan the title of 'Xuanbing Huangzun'. She was the first person in the history of the Purple Spirit Realm who killed several emperors with a quasi-emperor cultivation level, and the only person who was called Huangzun with a quasi-emperor cultivation level. Huangzun, this is a title that even ordinary emperors cannot get! ]
[In the years that followed, the eternal frozen earth became a wonder of the Purple Spirit Realm, and also a restricted area. No one could get close to the central area of the eternal frozen earth, and even a quasi-emperor could be in danger of his life . However, the periphery of the eternal frozen earth, although also very dangerous, was not a dead end. Instead, it became a land of ice and snow, the most suitable place for ice attribute monks to practice.]
[Here, it is easier to comprehend the artistic conception of ice. If you venture deeper, you can also comprehend the magical power of ice more easily. If you venture to the deepest part, you may be able to comprehend the way of Ji Bingyan, the 'Mysterious Ice Emperor'. However, basically no one dares to go deep into it. ]
[Those who are qualified to enter have truly walked their own path, and there is no need to observe the paths of others, as it is not particularly meaningful. And those who are not qualified to enter will die if they go.]
…
"Oh my god, is this Xuanbing Emperor Ji Bingyan so powerful?"
Wang Ping was shocked when he looked at the simulation content.
The further you practice, the bigger the gap becomes.
It seems that the quasi-emperor is only one step away from becoming the emperor, but the gap between him and the emperor is definitely beyond imagination.
After all, those in the Xuan Dan realm can easily kill those who are at the Half-step Xuan Dan realm, not to mention those at the Quasi-Emperor and Emperor realms.
However, this Xuanbing Emperor Ji Bingyan, relied on his quasi-emperor cultivation to die together with several emperors of the Blood Demon Clan. It was simply outrageous.
No wonder she has this title, it really brings her status to the top.
If this Xuanbing Emperor Ji Bingyan had not died halfway, he might have had the hope of growing to the level of the Judgement Emperor in the future...
"During its heyday, the Ice Palace was indeed terrifying. An Ice Emperor, although he died in battle, was highly respected by the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord. A Mysterious Ice Emperor, needless to say..."
Wang Ping sighed in his heart.
"It's a pity that it has declined after its peak. The Ice Palace now has no emperor left. It has fallen to the level of a holy land and relies on the Heavenly Sword Holy Land for survival."
Wang Ping sighed in his heart again.
He always felt that in the current Ice Palace, let alone an emperor, there might not even be a quasi-emperor...
[You recall all the information about the Everfrost, and you feel uneasy. You never thought you would be teleported to such a place. But fortunately, it is the outer area of the Everfrost. If you go deeper, you will definitely be killed.]
[It should be said that even in the outer area, you were seriously injured and almost froze to death. If you hadn’t met the girl Xue’er, you would have been frozen to death. ]
[Xue'er saw that you were very shocked, so she didn't ask any more questions, and didn't care about your identity at all. She just continued to feed you the medicine. You were not used to being taken care of so carefully and gently by a girl, so you said you would drink it yourself.]
[Xue'er said that you are a wounded person, just lie down and do nothing. You feel helpless, feeling that you can't move your body, and can only be fed medicine awkwardly.]
[In the blink of an eye, a year has passed. During this year, your injuries have recovered a little, but you are still far from fully recovered. You feel disappointed about this, because your injuries are too severe, and your storage ring was shattered by the space turbulence when you were teleporting. You can't take some pills, so you can only rest.]
[Although Xue'er's herbs are effective, they are only low-grade and not particularly effective. However, you can't do anything about it. It's not easy to find herbs in this icy and snowy place. Some of them are already very good to drink. You won't dislike them.]
[In addition, during this year, you also figured out the situation of the forces around the Eternal Frozen Land. There are two major forces in the area where you are.]
[One force is the Xuanbing Sect. The founder of the Xuanbing Sect claims to be a disciple of the Xuanbing Emperor. The purpose of establishing the Xuanbing Sect is to protect his master Ji Bingyan. ]
[As for the other faction, it is the Ice Poison Sect. When Emperor Xuanbing was alive, he traveled in the Purple Spirit Realm and won over many fanatical followers. The Ice Poison Sect was founded by Emperor Xuanbing's original followers. The two major factions border each other and have a very good relationship. They are an alliance.]
[However, what puzzled Wang Ping was that since the founder of Bingdu Sect was a follower of Xuanbing Emperor Ji Bingyan, why didn't he build Xuanbing Sect together with Xuanbing Emperor Ji Bingyan's disciples, but instead built another sect. Perhaps there was some hidden secret.]
[However, you are not interested in digging into the secrets. Now, you just want to recover from your injuries, continue practicing and become stronger, and try to break through to the Half-Step Yin-Yang Mirror, and then the Yin-Yang Mirror.]
[Another year has passed, and your injuries have recovered a lot, and you can finally exert the power of the Xuandan realm. During this period, you curiously asked Xue'er why she didn't try to join the two major sects to practice. Xue'er's answer was that she had poor talent, and now she was eighty years old, she was only at the Linghai realm, and she was not qualified to join the two major sects. ]
[You were shocked by Xue'er's answer. Xue'er's age is exactly the same as the deceased Bing Ningyue, or Ji Bingyue. You even doubted whether the two were related by blood.]
[However, you cannot verify this matter now, so you can only suppress this question in your heart. ]
[In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed. Your injuries have completely healed, and you have returned to the great perfection of the Xuandan realm. With your help, Xue'er also obtained a low-grade ice-related technique and a sixth-grade spiritual object. You successfully helped her condense an ice spiritual body.]
[However, condensing the Ice Spirit Body is secondary. During these five years, you also tried to activate the possible Ice Emperor bloodline in Xue'er's body, but you failed every time. You don't know whether it is because the eighth-grade elixir you got is too low-grade to activate the bloodline, or whether your guess is wrong.]
[At the same time, during these five years, you have been wandering and hunting outside the eternal frozen land with Xue'er and her adopted white fox Xiaobai. Although life is boring, you also feel the long-lost warmth from Xue'er, and a sense of home. ]
[In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed. You feel that the time is ripe and think about breaking through to the Half-Step Yin-Yang Realm. Unfortunately, you have no idea in the end. It's not because your roots are not strong enough, nor because your foundation is not strong enough, but simply because you don't have the conditions for a breakthrough. ]
[Because the Yin-Yang Mirror is also a special realm, it is all about the power of Yin and Yang. If you want to break through to the Half-Step Yin-Yang Mirror, you need to engrave the power of Yin or Yang on the Xuan Dan. If you want to break through to the Yin-Yang Mirror, you have to make up for the power of Yang or Yin on the basis of the Half-Step Yin-Yang Mirror, and form a complete Yin-Yang diagram on the Xuan Dan. ]
[This, like the grade of the Xuandan, the quality of the Yin and Yang forces is also very important. At the same time, more demanding than condensing the Xuandan, the grade of Yin and Yang must also be the same. Otherwise, the strength is different, and the Yin and Yang are unbalanced, and it is impossible to form a complete Yin and Yang diagram, thus failing to break through. At the least, the Xuandan is damaged, and at the worst, the body and the Tao are destroyed. ]
[Although Yin and Yang forces do not pursue the same strength, Yin and Yang forces of the same quality also have different strengths, but the same grade can still intersect and complement each other, thus forming a balance of Yin and Yang. If the grades are different and the gap is too big, they cannot complement each other and will only devour the other. ]
[The reason why the Xuandan realm is so special and will greatly affect the upper limit of cultivation is that low-quality Xuandan is not only insufficient in strength, but also too fragile. It is impossible to engrave high-quality yin and yang power at all. It is easy to exceed the upper limit of his tolerance, thus being damaged, and the pill is destroyed and the person dies.]
[For this reason, it is very difficult for cultivators who have condensed the lower third-grade Xuandan realm to break through to the Yin-Yang Mirror. Although cultivators who have condensed the middle third-grade Xuandan can hope to obtain the Yin-Yang Mirror, the quality of the Yin-Yang power engraved is very limited. Some people do not have the courage to engrave high-quality Yin-Yang power, otherwise their cultivation will be completely destroyed, or even death. ]
[Therefore, the gap between geniuses and ordinary cultivators further widens when they break through to the Yin-Yang Mirror.]
[You know the secret of the Yin-Yang Mirror and want to break through to the Yin-Yang Mirror, but you don't want to just engrave the Yin-Yang Diagram. The ordinary Yin-Yang power is easy to find, but if you break through so easily, you will waste the potential of the flawless Xuandan and lock your own upper limit.]
[However, the problem comes back. You have just recovered from your injuries and are only a casual cultivator. You have no spirit stones and no resources. You don’t know how to safely find high-quality Yin and Yang power. You can only worry about gains and losses.]
…
"So the secret of the Yin-Yang Mirror is like this, and it is also closely related to the grade of the condensed Xuandan. No wonder the cultivation world attaches so much importance to the grade of Xuandan. It is not only more powerful in combat, but also has a great impact on the future."
Wang Ping looked at the simulation content, thinking thoughtfully.
The Yin-Yang realm, the two forces of Yin and Yang, is another difficult problem.
"Besides that, is this Xue'er a member of the Ice Queen? Is she related to Bing Ningyue?"
Wang Ping also thought of Xue'er's matter and was full of questions.
If he is a descendant of the Ice Queen, this talent is somewhat ordinary.
"No, without resources, without techniques, without anyone to teach her how to practice, and without her bloodline being activated, her cultivation is already pretty good, and her talent is not bad."
Wang Ping shook his head again.
Then, Wang Ping calmed down and continued to stare at the screen.
[Xue'er saw your worry and asked you the reason. After hesitating, you chose to answer. Because you and Xue'er have already had a special relationship over the years. You were moved by Xue'er's gentleness and naturally became a Taoist couple with Xue'er. She was even pregnant with your flesh and blood.]
[After hearing your explanation, Xue'er was a little conflicted, but she couldn't bear to hide it from you or deceive you, so she finally told you one thing. That is, the eternal frozen ground has the highest quality Yin power. Yin represents sinking, and Yang represents rising.]
[For this reason, high-quality Yin power tends to appear more easily in extremely cold places, while high-quality Yang power tends to appear more easily in high-temperature areas.]
[The eternal frozen earth is one of the coldest places in the Purple Spirit Realm, and it also has the perception of ice from the Mysterious Ice Emperor Ji Bingyan. Therefore, it is easy for high-quality Yin power to appear in the eternal frozen earth. The deeper you go, the stronger the Yin power will be.]
