C371 Magical Equipment Type(2)

Woo Zhengyang knew that the four women, like himself, practiced both body refinement and energy cultivation. This meant their body refinement skills should have reached the equivalent of the Shape Gathering Stage.

Woo Zhengyang recalled Huo'er complaining once about having to start their training over. At the time, he didn't think much of it. Given their age, they might have only reached the Martial Master Stage before, so starting over might just put them on par with him. Little did he know, they had far surpassed him.

Now it seemed their previous skills might have been at the Shape Gathering Stage or even higher. True talent had been right beside him all along...

"Of course, we're the stars of the Ice Crystal Fire Palace. No one can match us except the Palace Lord," Huo'er said with a cheeky grin.

Woo Zhengyang wanted to believe this, but found it hard to accept. If the four women were truly the most talented disciples of the Ice Crystal Fire Palace, why were they confined in the Mystic Trace Realm's Ice Crystal Fire Hall? But if that wasn't the case, and they were already so strong, could anyone be stronger than them? What kind of terrifying talent would that require? What kind of era was that?

"Don't underestimate yourself, sir. Our techniques are unique, and since we're retraining, our progress is naturally faster," Bing'er said, noticing Woo Zhengyang's frustration.

"Still, if you want to catch up with us, you'll have to work hard!" Huo'er teased Woo Zhengyang at just the right moment, earning a glare from Bing'er. She stuck out her tongue and fell silent.

They never explicitly mentioned their true abilities, and Woo Zhengyang didn't press them for details. The appearance of the Ice Crystal Fire Hall seemed coincidental, yet Woo Zhengyang sensed something unusual about it. The four women felt the same way; everyone had their secrets, and Woo Zhengyang wasn't one to force others to reveal theirs.

Suddenly, he found himself accompanied by four martial arts masters, all possessing the Ice Crystal Fire Body and skilled in both body and energy cultivation. This was undeniably a formidable force.

However, when facing the three masters from the three sects of the Fallen Sun Country, this strength seemed insufficient. Woo Zhengyang also knew that the crisis facing the Profound Heaven Sect involved more than just these three sects.

The shadow that met with Lo Mingzhi was from the Heavenly Martial Sect. Lo Mingzhi had already informed them about the No Life Sword, and Woo Zhengyang was certain that the massive Heavenly Martial Sect would seize the opportunity to act. This was the most daunting aspect for Woo Zhengyang.

"Can the Ice Crystal Fire Hall withstand an attack from a Martial King?" Woo Zhengyang asked, pondering this point.

"It can! But there's no need!" Bing'er replied.

"No need?" Woo Zhengyang asked, puzzled.

"Hehe... Do you remember, sir, the surprise we promised you last time?" Huo'er couldn't help but speak up again.

Woo Zhengyang certainly remembered what they mentioned. The last time he visited the No Life Patriarch's cave, he was searching for ingredients for the Dragon Saliva Pill. Unexpectedly, after he and Loong Zhiwu entered ahead of others, they found themselves in a vast garden filled with countless mystical flowers and herbs.

Later, when the entrance to the Patriarch's cave was forcibly opened, the balance of nature was disrupted, causing the mystical flora to vanish. Taking advantage of the situation, Woo Zhengyang retrieved the Ice Crystal Fire Hall to absorb its energy.

The enormous garden had half of its mystical flora absorbed by the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, yet it only managed to fill one percent of the Hall's energy pool. At that time, Bing'er mentioned wanting to surprise Woo Zhengyang in the future.

However, Woo Zhengyang didn't pay much attention to it. The four women needed a lot of energy for their cultivation, and he didn't want to compete with them for resources.

Now that Bing'er and the others brought it up again, especially at this critical moment, Woo Zhengyang became more cautious. He asked uncertainly, "Could this surprise help the Profound Heaven Sect overcome this crisis?"

"Of course! This is the Ice Crystal Fire Hall we're talking about! Surely, sir, you don't think it only serves as a shelter?" Huo'er pointed to the small glowing point in the sky that was the Ice Crystal Fire Hall.

“Could this palace be a weapon artifact?”

“A weapon artifact? That would be too lowly. You should know which artifacts are the most precious, right?”

When it comes to the most precious artifacts, anyone familiar with the current mindset of cultivators would likely mention imperial-grade artifacts or even divine artifacts above that level. However, Woo Zhengyang knew that Huo'er wasn't talking about grades, but about types.

Artifacts are categorized into weapon artifacts, defense artifacts, and support artifacts. Among these, weapon artifacts are the most common, defense artifacts come next, and support artifacts are the rarest and most valuable. Space artifacts are one type of support artifact.

Of course, the space artifacts mentioned here aren't like the Hidden Heaven Bag, which doesn't even qualify as an artifact. True space artifacts are rarely seen by ordinary people, with the lowest being of king-grade quality.

The Ice Crystal Fire Hall is undoubtedly a support artifact, and an extraordinary one at that. Just the fact that it can create its own world and allow beings to live and cultivate there sets it apart from ordinary space artifacts.

Still, Woo Zhengyang couldn't figure out how this related to the crisis facing the Profound Heaven Sect.

Seeing his confusion, the four women giggled, and finally, the shy Li'er spoke up, “Sir, the Ice Crystal Fire Hall is indeed a support artifact, but it’s not just any ordinary support artifact.”

"That's right, our Ice Crystal Fire Hall is the pinnacle of support-type treasures. You could call it the ultimate treasure, the unbeatable treasure..."

Naturally, it was Huo'er speaking again...
