Chapter 194 - The Aura of Profound Ice

In the blink of an eye, the Snow White Monkey had vanished from sight.

When Lin Xuan regained his senses, it was already holding a snow lotus the size of a fist.

Lin Xuan split the snow lotus in half, giving one half to the Snow White Monkey and carefully storing the other half.

The Snow White Monkey quickly stuffed the snow lotus into its mouth and gulped it down.

Chitter chitter!

It hopped onto Lin Xuan’s shoulder and curled up into a ball.

“What a waste!” Lin Xuan grimaced.

“This snow lotus is an extremely cold object.

If you can find another object of extreme yang, I can refine a pot of fine wine for you!” chuckled the Lord of Wine.

“Anyway, I’ll be passing through Fire State on this trip, and I’ll look for it then,” Lin Xuan responded.

He searched the surroundings again, and suddenly his eyebrows raised.

“The Spiritual Power here is so dense!”

“It must be a Spirit Gathering Array, used to accumulate the Spiritual Energy in the vicinity,” the Lord of Wine said softly.

“Could someone be trying to cultivate snow lotuses?”

The Lord of Wine spoke indifferently, then his expression suddenly changed.

“No!”

“This snow lotus is just older than others; there’s nothing else special about it.”

“Could there be something else here?”

“Kid, take a look below!” guessed the Lord of Wine.

Lin Xuan’s Purple Spirit Eyes sparkled as he looked downward.

“There’s a blurry blue mist down there, and it seems there is also a piece of Cold Ice,” Lin Xuan whispered.

“Open it up and see, there might be something good inside!” said the Lord of Wine.

Lin Xuan began to strike at the Prohibition, with the same result as before.

“I just don’t believe it!” Lin Xuan’s face tightened, and his Longsword kept slashing, hitting the Prohibition.

The Snow White Monkey’s eyes rolled around and it finally climbed into the Storage Ring.

Lin Xuan cursed under his breath and continued to hack at the Prohibition.

The clanging sounds kept ringing out, filling the small cave.

It was a good thing no one else was around, or they would have been annoyed by the noise.

Three days later, the Prohibition finally made a cracking sound and shattered to the ground.

Lin Xuan’s face paled, and he let out a sigh of relief.

He sat down cross-legged, took out a cup of Spiritual Wine, and began to recover.

It was the Spiritual Wine he had brought from the Blood-colored Trial Land, and he had drunk over half of it.

As his Cultivation had increased, the effect of the Spiritual Wine had gradually weakened, but it was still good for restoring Spiritual Power.

Half an hour later, Lin Xuan opened his eyes.

He slowly stood up, ready to dig into the ground.

“Be careful not to damage what’s underneath.”

Lin Xuan used his Purple Spirit Eyes and slowly excavated with the Autumn Trace Sword.

The ice layer thinned bit by bit, and Lin Xuan could feel the Cold Energy in the space growing stronger.

“Could it be some kind of strange creature?”

He felt a bit uneasy, not just his body, but even his Soul was trembling.

“Keep going, keep going!” Lord of Wine urged.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Xuan continued to dig.

Finally, all the ice layers were broken, and a wisp of Cold Energy emerged.

Crack crack crack!

No sooner had the Cold Energy emerged than the surroundings rapidly froze over into ice blocks.

Lin Xuan felt a wave of coldness surge toward him, giving him goosebumps all over.

Whoosh!

Without any hesitation, he used Wind Thunder Step and ran out.

The Cold Energy in the air stuck to his clothes and quickly turned to ice.

Crack!

Golden electric arcs danced, and Thunder shattered the ice.

“That was close,” Lin Xuan exhaled.

Just the leaking Cold Energy was so domineering, one could hardly imagine how terrifying the actual body of the Cold Energy was!

Looking back, the small cave had been sealed in ice.

“Eh, it’s actually Profound Ice Energy!” exclaimed the Lord of Wine softly.

“Legend has it that this Profound Ice Energy is an ultimate cold force, often accompanying treasures.

There must be something good inside!”

“But I can’t get anywhere near it,” Lin Xuan sighed.

“I’m not afraid, I can take away the Profound Ice energy,” Lord of Wine said with a smile.

“Then I’ll give it a try.”

Lin Xuan executed the Split Wind Style, shattered the block of ice, and dashed in swiftly.

It was still cold around, but the Profound Ice energy had withdrawn underground.

Lin Xuan looked around and saw an ice platform with a diameter of half a meter, emitting wisps of cold energy.

“Ice Platform!

Indeed, it’s a treasure!” Lord of Wine laughed heartily.

“What’s its use?” Lin Xuan asked.

“It speeds up cultivation, which is just right for you.”

Hearing this, Lin Xuan was delighted and his eyes shone with excitement as he looked at the ground again.

“Let’s take it first and talk later.”

While speaking, a black hole appeared in front of Lin Xuan, slowly rotating.

The Ice Platform from underground was lifted up, its Profound Ice energy wildly scattering.

Lin Xuan didn’t move, knowing that Lord of Wine had a way to deal with it.

Sure enough, the black hole continued spinning, sucking away all the scattered Profound Ice energy.

Chirp, chirp!

The Snow White Monkey suddenly sprang out, cheerfully chirping.

Lin Xuan was startled, fearing any accidents with the monkey.

The Snow White Monkey took a deep breath, a strand of Profound Ice energy flew out, and it absorbed it into its body.

Showing a satisfied expression, the monkey let out a burp.

With a somewhat dazed gaze, the Snow White Monkey dived back into the Storage Ring.

Lin Xuan marveled; the Snow White Monkey indeed was marvelous, not fearing such extreme cold.

In the blink of an eye, the Ice Platform had been taken away by Lord of Wine, the Profound Ice energy on it also whisked away.

“Let’s go, there’s nothing left.”

Lin Xuan nodded, then turned into a blur and quickly left the place.

Walking through the pitch-black tunnels, Lin Xuan was extremely excited.

Just now, he had thought of a way to deal with the Green-haired Man.

That was to use the Profound Ice energy to seal the Green-haired Man.

Lord of Wine also thought there was no problem with this method; after some discussion, they decided to take action as soon as possible.

After leaving the cave, Lin Xuan didn’t rush on his way.

He planned to set a trap for the Green-haired Man to fall into.

At night, snow fluttered down.

Lin Xuan found a dry cave, ready to rest.

With hands forming a seal, Lin Xuan closed his eyes to cultivate.

But actually, he spread his Soul Power to monitor the surroundings.

“Be careful, he’s here!” warned Lord of Wine through telepathy.

A chill went through Lin Xuan’s heart; he intentionally kept the Snow White Monkey hidden, to lure the Green-haired Man into the trap.

Whoosh!

A green light swiftly thrust at Lin Xuan, reaching him in the blink of an eye.

A huge sense of crisis overwhelmed him, but Lin Xuan didn’t act rashly; he was waiting for the Green-haired Man to come closer.

He pushed off with his legs and his body shot out like a spring.

The green light swiped at Lin Xuan, knocking him away.

Qi-Blood churned inside Lin Xuan, sweetness rose in his throat, and he spurted out blood.

Swish—

A figure appeared, a broad hand reaching out for Lin Xuan.

The nails were sharp, with an eerie aura circulating around them; undoubtedly, being caught would mean certain death.

Lin Xuan looked at the hand, his heart reaching his throat.

He knew he had only one chance, a miss would mean either his own death or alerting the Green-haired Man.

In that case, he would have no opportunity at all!

Just as the green nails were about to touch him, Lin Xuan made his move.

A strand of Profound Ice energy surged out, entwining around the Green-haired Man’s hand.

The next moment, as if the Green-haired Man touched something terrifying, he quickly retreated.

Crack, crack, crack!

As soon as he moved, that cold energy rapidly surged through his entire body, emitting a horrifying chill.

This was the true Profound Ice energy, not the mere coldness Lin Xuan previously encountered on his clothes; the two were incomparably different in power.

Once touched by the Profound Ice energy, even a Spirit Merging Realm expert could be frozen.

Lin Xuan’s gaze flickered as he looked forward.
