Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 19: Life and Death
This is a magnificent ice palace. It is called an ice palace because it looks as big as the main hall of a palace, but it is carved from ten-thousand-year-old ice. There are mirror-smooth ice walls on all four sides, and in the center is a huge cloud platform formed by thousands of auspicious clouds.
In the four corners of the Ice Palace, there stood a three-meter-high block of ice, which looked no different from ordinary ice. However, anyone with a little spiritual power could feel that these blocks of ice were much colder than ordinary ice and snow.
That kind of extremely cold spiritual energy does not exist naturally between heaven and earth. It seems to have fallen from the nine heavens to the human world. In short, the cold air that has kept the entire ice palace from melting for thousands of years comes from here.
No one would have thought that there was such a mysterious place between the cliffs of Jueming Creek outside Yonghui City!
What was even more unexpected was that there was a person sitting cross-legged on the cloud platform in the center of the ice palace, and he seemed to be not hurt at all by Leng Qin's ten thousand years of coldness.
The man's whole body was enveloped by an ice-blue light curtain, his eyes slightly closed, and beneath him, thousands of colorful auspicious clouds bloomed, seemingly barely holding him up, yet also seemingly imprisoned in the cloud platform where the auspicious clouds gathered, making him unable to move!
Looking at that man's eyes and brows again, he was very handsome and looked very young, definitely no more than twenty years old. At this moment, he was sitting on the Qingyun Terrace with his eyes closed, and he really looked like a handsome young man walking out of a painting!
This young man was Mo Yi, who had been trapped in the cave for several days.
"You little bastard, you are trapped in the 'Xuanluo Dengyun Formation' and yet you dare to use the 'Mirror Flower and Water Moon' technique to counterattack from a thousand miles away. Aren't you afraid of going astray and having your soul destroyed?" A full-bodied angry voice came from the platform. The sincere voice definitely did not sound like Mo Yi's tone, but what was strange was that on the Qingyun Platform, there was no figure other than Mo Yi.
Mo Yi just slightly opened his eyes at this time, and with a curled mouth, he pulled out a bitter smile: "I don't want to, but you also saw the scene just now. If I don't use "Mirror Flower Water Moon", she will definitely die."
"Her life or death has nothing to do with you. Why do you care so much about her?" The voice sounded quite disdainful, as if mocking Mo Yi's amorousness.
"You are an ancient beast, how can you understand the seven emotions and six desires of the human world? It's useless to tell you." Mo Yi curled his lips, as if he was too lazy to explain to that person anymore.
"What seven emotions and six desires? They are useless things played by you stupid humans. I don't want them!" The dark green sword in Mo Yi's hand suddenly flashed for no reason. The cold blade seemed to reflect a dragon pattern, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mo Yi smiled bitterly and didn't say anything else. He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the ancient dragon pattern on the handle of the "Dragon Slashing" sword with a slightly frightened expression.
Just now, the dragon pattern suddenly burst into a strange light in an instant, and the light gradually transformed into the appearance of Ying Lili being attacked. He knew that she must be in mortal danger, so in desperation he actually used the "Mirror Flower Water Moon" technique that he had just comprehended before, and instantly used his spirit body to travel thousands of miles to kill the master who wanted to sneak attack her for her!
Although he helped her out, his own situation was not so good. His body had been trapped in the 'Xuanluo Dengyun Formation' formed by Qingyun a few days ago. He had been relying on his own spiritual power to fight against the Five Elements emitted by the 'Xuanluo Dengyun Formation'. However, the moment he used 'Mirror Flowers and Water Moon', his spiritual power dissipated, and naturally he could not resist the Five Elements of the 'Xuanluo Dengyun Formation'. He was almost swallowed up by the 'Xuanluo Dengyun Formation' and his soul was destroyed. Fortunately, the Canglong who lived in his 'Dragon-Slaying Song' took action in time to help him resist the Five Elements. Otherwise, he would not be in just the current situation where he could not move!
However, he did not take the danger he had just experienced seriously at all. His mind was full of the image of Yinglili that he had seen when he used "Mirror Flower and Water Moon" before!
He saw her running towards him with joy on her face, he could feel her missing him, he also wanted to reach out and touch her, but the power of the 'Xuanluo Dengyun Formation' forced him to quickly end the magic of flowers in the mirror and moon in the water, so he had to face the helplessness of being so close to her but having to pass her by.
She seemed completely different from before! What was the difference? He couldn't tell.
Maybe it was because her whole temperament had changed completely. She no longer looked like the helpless little girl she was back then, but now exuded a heroic spirit that was as good as any man!
He suddenly thought of Yao Ji back then. No, she was different from Yao Ji. She seemed to lack some of Yao Ji's carefulness or hesitation? But she had more of the heroic spirit that Yao Ji did not have.
The whole person seemed to be completely different from the ignorant girl who was trembling behind him when they first met that day! There was even a murderous intent in her eyes!
He didn't know what she had been through during these days, or what kind of experience had made her so strong and fearless now, but seeing her fighting alone made his heart tighten for no reason.
He tightly grasped the 'Dragon Slashing Chant' in his hand and said softly: "Canglong, just watch! Within three days, I will definitely break this 'Xuanluo Dengyun Formation'!"
A cold snort came from the 'Dragon Slashing Chant'. It was unknown whether it was a sneering at Mo Yi's bold , or it simply did not believe that the 'Xuanluo Dengyun Formation' could be cracked so easily! The owner of this voice was the ancient blue dragon that was sealed in the iron plate that day.
On that day, due to fate, Mo Yi probed his spiritual consciousness into the iron plate that sealed the ancient Canglong. Unexpectedly, he was struck by the Canglong's thunderbolt by accident, and his soul was gathered.
This was not outrageous enough. Even more outrageous things were yet to come. For some unknown reason, the ancient Canglong insisted that he had some kind of Supreme Transformation Physique and that he was the man of destiny. He could not only unlock the eternal seal on the Canglong, but also help it condense into a physical entity. Although the latter would require many, many years and a complicated and difficult process, it always gave the Canglong a glimmer of hope. You know, it had been sealed in this iron plate for tens of thousands of years, which had already made it almost desperate.
What's even more shameless is that this Canglong completely ignored Mo Yi's opinion. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, after speaking all at once, he plunged headfirst into his 'Dragon Slaying Chant' and refused to come out no matter what. Mo Yi was so amused that he had no choice but to half-resignedly become the half-landlord of this ancient beast.
It is true that he is half a landlord, because this 'Dragon Slaying Song' is a sword that was created by the heart, and is almost a part of Mo Yi's body. The Canglong, which has immersed its own spirit into the 'Dragon Slaying Song', can naturally be regarded as living in Mo Yi's body. However, compared to Kaneya who stays in the sea of consciousness of Peng Lili, this Canglong is much happier. At least this 'Dragon Slaying Song' can be transformed into shape, and as a result, it can also come out to get some fresh air, and can even arrogantly argue with Mo Yi to kill time.
More importantly, because it immersed itself in the 'Dragon Slaying Roar' and became one with Mo Yi, it actually did as it expected, and easily followed Mo Yi's soul to leave the iron plate that had sealed it for tens of thousands of years.
Having tasted the sweetness, Canglong became even more complacent. When it thought of the benefits that Mo Yi's Supreme Transformation Physique could bring to itself, it was overjoyed. It completely ignored Mo Yi's opinions and took the initiative to settle down in this "Dragon Slaying Song", as if it wanted to follow Mo Yi until the end of time.
Even though he was being relied upon by the Canglong, for Mo Yi, this was not a bad thing at all. What was this Canglong? It was an ancient strange beast. Although it only had its spirit now and no entity, the endless spiritual power that the Canglong had when it created the world was something that Mo Yi had been longing for. Now that the Canglong and the 'Dragon-Slaying Chant' had merged into one, it was like adding wings to a tiger for Mo Yi!
Everything that happened afterwards was like a drunken dream. Mo Yi could never have imagined that he would discover some secrets that had been buried for more than five hundred years in this strange cave. And those secrets were closely related to him. In other words, everything that happened before was part of someone else's calculations.
When Mo Yi took in the Canglong, or rather, when the Canglong was half-forced to stick to Mo Yi, something strange happened. The cave that was originally dark and full of dangers actually transformed into the magnificent ice palace that we see today, as if everything that had been seen and encountered before was just an illusion.
If he hadn't been able to sense the spiritual power of the blue dragon in the 'Dragon Slaying Roar', Mo Yi would really have thought that he had just had a dream.
And in this ice palace that gathers the spiritual power of heaven and earth, the most precious thing to Mo Yi is actually hidden.
When Mo Yi was drawn by a mysterious force to the end of the ice palace, he unexpectedly discovered that there was a small inner room inside. In the inner room, there was an ice coffin, which was almost entirely covered with pure white flowers. In the center of the coffin was the body of a woman.
I don't know how many years this ice coffin has been here, but the woman looks like she just died, with no signs of decay or even corpse odor. Moreover, the flowers placed around her body are just blooming, without any signs of withering! Mo Yi can even smell the faint fragrance of the flowers!
I really don’t know who built this ice palace and how he could have such advanced magic!
But when Mo Yi gradually approached the ice coffin and saw the appearance of the woman in the ice coffin clearly, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down in front of the ice coffin!
