Chapter 776 Lu Xueqi and Biyao
Master Wanjian said solemnly, “The Xuanbing Valley is located in the north of the cultivation world. It is a ten-thousand-year-old glacier with an extremely cold climate. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be frozen into an ice sculpture if they entered. The final fragment is sealed within the Xuanbing Valley, guarded by an ancient ice dragon—the Xuanbing Dragon. The Xuanbing Dragon is an ancient divine beast of the ice attribute, stronger than the Five Elements Qilin and the Heavenly Punishment Sword Spirit. It is said to have reached the peak of the Void Refinement stage, or even stronger. Are you sure you want to go?”
A resolute glint flashed in Su Han's eyes as he said, "I'm certain. For the safety of the cultivation world, we'll go even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire."
Master Wanjian nodded and said, "Alright, I'll give you a ride. I have a flying sword that can take you quickly to Xuanbing Valley, saving you time." He stretched out his hand, and a silver flying sword flew out from his storage ring, hovering in the air, exuding a sharp sword intent.
Su Han and Fairy Yuehua jumped onto the flying sword. Master Wanjian made a hand seal, and the flying sword transformed into a silver light, flying north at an extremely fast speed, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
…………
The flying sword flew through the air for three days and three nights, finally arriving in the northern part of the cultivation world. The further north it flew, the lower the temperature became. Eventually, heavy snow began to fall, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, a vast expanse of white stretching as far as the eye could see.
A massive glacier appeared ahead, towering into the clouds like a white dragon coiled across the earth. Within the glacier lay a deep, secluded canyon, from which a biting wind constantly blew, carrying ice and snow that stung the face like knives. This was the Mystic Ice Valley.
The flying sword stopped at the entrance of Xuanbing Valley. Su Han and Fairy Yuehua jumped off, while Master Wanjian's flying sword transformed into a silver light and returned along the same path. Su Han looked at Xuanbing Valley before him, took a deep breath, and said, "Uncle-Master, let's go in."
Moon Fairy nodded, gripped the Moon Sword tightly, and followed Su Han into the Xuanbing Valley.
Inside the Xuanbing Valley, the temperature was shockingly low. Su Han and Fairy Yuehua circulated their spiritual energy to form a shield around their bodies, resisting the corrosive cold. However, the cold was too intense, and the shield could not completely block it. Waves of cold air penetrated the shield and invaded their bodies, making the two shiver uncontrollably.
The deeper they went, the stronger the chill became. Eventually, Fairy Moonflower could no longer hold on; her face was pale, her lips were purple, and her moonlight power was circulating slower and slower under the corrosive chill. Seeing this, Su Han activated his Chaos Power, forming an even thicker golden shield around them, keeping the chill at bay.
"Thank you," Fairy Moonlight said gratefully, her body involuntarily moving closer to Su Han, feeling the warmth emanating from him.
The two walked for about an hour in the Xuanbing Valley and finally arrived at the deepest part of the canyon. At the deepest part of the canyon was a huge ice cave. The cold air inside the ice cave was several times stronger than outside. The walls of the ice cave were covered with a thick layer of ice, and within the ice layer were countless ice crystals that emitted a cold blue light.
Deep within the ice cave dwells a colossal ice dragon, the Xuanbing Dragon. Even larger than the Five Elements Qilin, the Xuanbing Dragon is a hundred zhang long, its body covered in blue scales, each scale radiating a chilling blue light. Two enormous ice horns adorn its head, and its eyes, like blue gemstones, gleam with an icy light. Countless ice crystals swirl around it, constantly rotating under its control, forming an ice crystal storm.
Sensing someone entering the ice cave, the Xuanbing Dragon slowly opened its eyes, looked at Su Han and Fairy Yuehua, and said in a cold and majestic voice, "Humans, you have come for the fragments of the sealing technique?" Su Han clasped his hands in a salute and said, "Yes, Senior Ice Dragon. The seal of the Netherworld Abyss is about to break, and the Lord of the Netherworld may awaken at any time. We need to collect all five fragments of the sealing technique to strengthen the seal and protect the cultivation world. Please grant our request, Senior Ice Dragon."
Xuanbinglong was silent for a moment, then said, "Tens of thousands of years ago, the founder of Xuanbing Valley entrusted me with guarding the fragments and told me that only those who could withstand the extreme cold of Xuanbing Valley and pass my final test were qualified to take the fragments. If you want the fragments, you must first prove that you are qualified."
Su Han said, "Please, Senior Ice Dragon, give me a question."
The Xuanbing Dragon nodded and said, "The test is simple. I will use my Xuanbing power to freeze you. If you can survive in the ice for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn without freezing to death, I will give you the fragment. If you cannot survive for that time, you will be frozen into ice sculptures and remain here forever. Are you ready?"
Su Han and Fairy Yuehua exchanged a glance, nodded simultaneously, and said, "Ready!"
The Xuanbing Dragon opened its mouth, and a beam of blue light shot out, transforming into an ice crystal storm that enveloped Su Han and Fairy Yuehua. Wherever the ice crystal storm passed, the air froze, forming walls of ice. Su Han and Fairy Yuehua had no time to dodge and were engulfed by the ice crystal storm, instantly frozen within a massive blue ice crystal.
Within the ice crystals, the temperature was shockingly low. Su Han felt as if his blood was about to freeze, and the spiritual energy within his body was circulating slower and slower under the corrosive influence of the cold. Although his Chaotic Undying Body possessed extremely strong defensive and regenerative abilities, it was beginning to falter in such an extreme cold environment. His skin began to show signs of frostbite, and his blood started to congeal.
The situation of Fairy Moonflower was even worse than that of Su Han. Her cultivation level was lower than Su Han's, and she did not have a powerful physique like the Chaos Undying Body. After being frozen, she quickly lost consciousness, her body began to stiffen, and her life force was rapidly draining away.
Su Han sensed the condition of Fairy Yuehua and was extremely anxious. He wanted to break free from the ice crystals to save her, but the hardness of the ice crystals far exceeded his expectations. His chaotic power was unable to break through the ice crystals.
"No, I can't let my martial uncle die here!" Su Han gritted his teeth and frantically circulated the chaotic power within his body. The original power of the Chaotic Undying Body also erupted at this moment. His body began to emit a dazzling golden light, which stood out brightly against the blue ice crystals.
The golden chaotic power relentlessly eroded the ice crystal, causing cracks to appear. Taking advantage of this, Su Han gave a powerful jolt, and with a "bang," the ice crystal shattered, freeing him from its confinement.
After breaking free of the ice crystals, Su Han didn't have time to think. He immediately ran to Fairy Moon's side and poured chaotic power into her body to dispel the cold. (End of Chapter)
