C72 Entering the Great Sea to Fight Against the Qiongqi

In the vast sea of ice, the sky was covered with snow and the earth was frozen. Birds were rare.

From the moment they stepped onto the Great Sea, everyone had been trembling with fear. In the heaven and earth, sand and rocks flew everywhere. Snowflakes as large as a table violently poured into the sleeves and neck, instantly melting and chilling to the heart. The biting cold wind was like a sharp blade, cutting through the skin piece by piece. The pain was so intense that no blood could be seen. The snow had already settled on their knees as they walked forward. This situation was as if they had gone through a disaster, how could it be called removing a beast?

The cold wind blowing towards them emitted waves of mournful wails, it was completely different from the angry winds of the mortal world. The cold wind blowing towards them emitted waves of mournful wails, completely different from the angry winds of the mortal world.

In the cold wind, Yun Jiu Tang's hand slowly reached towards Gu Xue Luo and tightly grabbed her hand. Gu Xue Luo didn't break free, but Yun Jiu Tang held her hand tightly just like that, defending her against the strong gale. Their hearts seemed to have grown closer, as if holding hands were a bridge to their souls, warm in the biting cold of the wind.

"The weather in the Great Sea is that bad. If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have come even if I were beaten to death." With such a tone, the only one who could speak would definitely be the slowest, Murong Dawn. He wore a large felt hat that was almost deformed by the cold wind. His eyebrows and beard had all turned white, and his mouth was filled with white smoke. From afar, he looked like a low snowman.

After walking for a while, the wind began to die down and everyone could finally walk normally.

"Thirteen years ago in the Great Sea, the blizzard wasn't as heavy as it was before. What's going on now? It's as if the blizzard's going to devour people."

"The terrain of the Great Sea is unique and different from the Six Realms. According to the 'Ancient Strange Spirit Record', the Great Sea was once a swamp land a thousand years ago, and later, due to the changes in the structure of the stratum and the constant absorption of the energy by the Qiong Qi Godly Beasts, Flying Blood Bats, and so on, the temperature of the Great Sea has become lower, colder, and the environment has become worse."

Murong Ming finally took off his huge felt hat and panted as he followed the group. "According to you, the vast ocean will turn into a thousand feet of ice and become a world of ice a hundred years from now."

Yun Jiu Tang said, "You're right, it's not impossible. Look, the current Snow Peak and Low Valley Snow Plains are much bigger than before. If this really turns into an ice world in the future, then Qiong Qi will be even more difficult to deal with."

"Look!" the Hundred Ice Mountain! " Gu Xueluo and Wang Qingchuan screamed and jumped in excitement.

Following the direction they were pointing, they saw a tall and straight mountain peak suddenly rise up from the ice plains. Although the mountain was also pure white in color, it stood tall amidst the snow, appearing eerie and mysterious. This was the legendary Hundred Ice Peak?!

The Hundred Ice Peak was the strangest and most mysterious place apart from the Snow Beast's Catacombs in the Great Sea. It was named because there were over a hundred layers of ice cliffs on the peak. For thousands of years, the most attractive thing about the Hundred Ice Mountain was that there was a special type of magical plant growing on it — the White Snow Lotus. It was revered by the Six Realms as a rule and viewed as a rare treasure. Especially for women, it was an extremely precious item that permanently preserved their beauty and added a bright and beautiful luster.

"What a beautiful ice mountain. It's simply like a fairyland." The girls sighed with excitement, and even Yuyin seemed to have temporarily forgotten the troubles of her life, and started to cheer with them.

Yun Jiuchang and Shen Jingyang looked at each other. There was no doubt that the Hundred Ice Peak would become the favorite target of the girls. Compared to the Snow Beast's Earth Cave, the White Snow Lotus on the Hundred Ice Peak was able to help them make beautiful faces.

"Ahh, I heard that there's a type of White Snow Lotus growing on the Hundred Ice Mountain. It has a very magical colour preserving effect." Gu Xueluo rarely spoke with such excitement. At this moment, her outburst of the Exquisite Girl's Heart surprised Yun Jiuchang. It was as if that long-absent girl had returned.

"Yeah, I've heard my master mention it a few times in Ling Chuan, but I didn't expect there to be such a place." Wang Qingchuan, who hadn't talked much along the way, couldn't hold back his excitement as he talked about the White Snow Lotus. This kind of thing that could save a person's life was obviously more popular among the girls than the Three Treasures of Hanhai. This was because the heart of beauty was the natural right and pursuit of every girl. Their desire for beauty surpassed anything else.

"To tell you the truth, I was fortunate enough to get a White Snow Lotus back in Wing City." His words caught the attention of the girls, and they made fun of his teasing, "That White Snow Lotus was able to survive the whole summer without rotting, and was always as bright as a drop of water, as if it had just been harvested from the Hundred Ice Mountain. Later, I forgave my love and traded it for a novel about monsters. " The girls were suddenly filled with envy.

Now, this is the closest we've come to the White Snow Lotus in thousands of years. "Murong Ming's fat mouth began to chatter nonstop, as if he was going to personally go on the battlefield." If we miss this opportunity, we might have to wait for another thousand years. Ladies, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid the Six Realms would have had several opportunities to penetrate deep into the Great Sea.

Shen Jingyang fiercely glared at Murong Dawn, his face filled with anger, "You've said so much already, but all you want to do is prove that you really want to go up to the Hundred Ice Mountain to gather snow lotuses. Fine, we'll treat it as us resting here for a moment. You can go, we'll wait for your return." Saying so, he gestured with a "please" gesture.

Murong Mingtian's face turned red as he stammered, "This …" When it comes to physical strength, I... I am unable to do it. Although I want to do my best for the ladies, my martial arts are sparse. I should give the opportunity to display my skills to the young heroes. " As he finished speaking, he retreated back to Yun Jiuchang's side, looking as if he was saying, "I'll let you have the chance to do so!"

Yun Jiu Tang looked at the distant Hundred Frozen Peak, and felt that the mountain peak was not too steep and the cliff top was quite wide. He thought that it would only take a few incense sticks of time for everything to go back and forth and everything would be fine, so it wouldn't affect his journey to get rid of the beast. Therefore, they only saw Yun Jiu Tang looking at the three ladies, muttering to himself, "It's rare for us to encounter something that would interest the ladies so much during our journey to get rid of beasts. According to the records of the 'Ancient Book of Mysteries', the White Snow Lotus is indeed precious to the ladies.

He immediately opened the Wild Sea scroll. According to the scroll, the Hundred Ice Mountain was not too steep, and most of the White Snow Lotus grew halfway up the mountain. After determining the direction of the White Snow Lotus, the Cloud Nine-Petalled Flowers tied up their hair ribbon and clothes. They began to use lightness techniques, sprinting through the snow.

After a short while, they arrived at the foot of the Hundred Ice Mountain. Looking up, the cliff was not steep at all. Thus, Yun Jiu Tang climbed up the cliff. When he thought of Gu Xue Luo's intoxicated expression on the face of the White Snow Lotus, he immediately felt a sense of strength around his body. It only took an instant to reach the peak. Several silver lotuses were already blooming on the precipitous cliff. They stood there amidst the snow and wind, bewitching and beautiful. It was the same as all the beautiful and precious exotic flowers and plants in the world. It would always take a lot of effort to obtain it.

This must be the White Ice Lotus! The precipitous cliff was still several zhang away, but this was not difficult for Yun Jiuchang. He had inherited all the cultivation from his previous body's fifth hidden spirit, and his strongest aspect was the Taixuan realm's highest realm, the first volume of the Profound Sky Scripture, and more than a year of cultivation. He stretched his body and even though he flew, his body was as light as a swallow gliding in the snow. His body elegantly flew, turned around, sped through the air, and then stuck close to the cliff wall.

He stretched his hand out to pluck the snow lotus. The white ice lotus seemed to have a mind of its own, making it difficult to pull it out. But thinking of Gu Xueluo's expectant gaze, Yun Jiu Tang pulled the snow lotus out of the crevice without hesitation. In a short while, he had collected several large and nimble White Snow Lotus. At this moment, he suddenly saw a very small snow lotus growing on the cliff. It was snow-white all over, and its leaves were even finer and more luxuriant. It seemed so unique among the snow lotuses. Thus, he took it off and placed it in his bosom. He once again extended his body. Like a crane that had fallen from the sky, he was as light as a pine tree as he once more floated down into the snow.

While everyone was waiting anxiously for the return of An Ran's Snow Lotus, Yun Jiuchang returned with both hands. "Waa, so beautiful. I never would have thought that the White Snow Lotus would be so dazzling." Gu Xueluo and Wang Qingchuan cheered. Yun Jiuchang gave the three snow lotuses he collected to the three girls, but Murong Ming had an unhappy expression on his face. He seemed to be complaining, "Why didn't I get anything?"

After the excitement, it was time to face the final test. In the past few days when everyone had entered the sea, the sea had been surprisingly calm. All the strange movements from the past few days had suddenly disappeared. Could it be that the Qiong Qi Beast had fallen asleep? The quieter the silence was, the more it would cause panic in everyone's heart. Perhaps in this silence, there was a huge wave of evil hidden, waiting for the moment it would finally erupt.

It was unknown when the snow started to get denser, but the cold wind started to howl again, and it was as if they could hear Qiong Qi's low growls and gasps. The sound of fear and gloominess was getting closer and closer. Even without the information on the scroll, everyone could guess that it was not far from the Snow Beast's cave! The time for the final battle had finally arrived!

Inside the Snow Beast's underground cave, it was dark and humid. The stench of blood filled the air, and it caused everyone to feel nauseous. Everyone held their torches high as they helped them move forward. Dark, bloody insects constantly flew towards them. They rashly struck the torches, and with a "zi" sound, the torches turned into ashes, emitting a burnt and stinky smell. In the pitch-black depths of the catacombs, the deeper one went, the more suffocating the atmosphere became. It was as if they were crawling in a rotten tomb, endless fear and malevolence coming straight at them.

"No!" I don't want to go any further! " It was obvious that Murong Yu couldn't endure this stifling atmosphere any longer. He almost broke down crazily, his face was almost distorted by fear, and he shouted, "I'm going out, I'm going to wait for you outside!"

"Stop screaming, if we attract Qiong Qi, everyone will die right now, and you won't be able to walk out of the cave alive. If you stay with the group, you'll be fine, there's a treasure in front of you that you didn't expect …" Murong Dawn slowly calmed down and retreated into the center of the line.

The road ahead became bumpier and the torches darker. Finally, the torch went out. Everything was pitch black except for the sound of dripping water and the sound of Qiong Qi growling in front of him. Yun Jiu Tang led the crowd and continued walking. Just as he took a step forward, he heard the sound of rocks falling. Yun Jiu Tang hurriedly stopped in his tracks.

Yun Jiuchang and Shen Jingyang slowly groped their way forward. Looking ahead, there was already no way out, it was as if they had entered a bottomless abyss. Everyone gradually surrounded them. What appeared in front of them was a huge circular basin. It was over three hundred meters wide and the basin was filled with a deep lake that was so deep that the bottom couldn't be seen.

While everyone was still in the midst of shock, suddenly, a dark storm broke out. The dark water was surging, and waves of bloody, dirty, and pungent beast odor assaulted their faces.

Huge waves suddenly rose up from the lake, the splashes landing on Yun Jiuchang's body. It was so cold that it penetrated his bones, as if he had been thrown into a bone-piercing cold lake of water. At this moment, an enormous wave rose into the air, and the sounds of water splashing were deafening as it set off monstrous waves. The violent winds assaulted their faces, and everyone's expressions changed. They were almost unable to stand steadily.

Standing at the very front, Yun Jiuchang and Shen Jingyang's expressions abruptly changed. They shouted almost at the same time, "Everyone be careful, retreat!" Everyone seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly retreated. Murong Dawn and Yu Yin's movements were slower, and they were caught off guard. They were struck by the rising waves, and their bodies were instantly soaked. That chilliness that seeped into their bones was truly unbearable.

Everyone slightly stabilized their minds. On the deep pool, an incomparably large brown fierce beast slowly danced. Its lower body was already deep into the pool, its two sharp claws slightly revealed the surface of the pool, and the top half of the fierce beast was actually over a hundred feet above the ground. That poor strange beast had a savage expression. Its dark green eyes shot out dark green light that could captivate a person's soul. They saw it circling high up, dozens of feet above the water, looking down upon the panicked crowd, as if it were looking down upon the weak ants.

Shen Jingyang's eyes were wide open as he gave a sigh of surprise and said, "This is twice the size compared to thirteen years ago!"

Yun Jiuchang was even more terrified. There was actually such a huge wild beast in this world, searching for the water qilin in his memories. It was still a tenth of the water qilin in this world, and its power was countless times stronger than the water qilin.

The Qiong Qi was shaking his head as he slowly approached everyone. Yun Jiu Tang stared at it in shock, only to see that Qiong Qi's upper body suddenly move, and the beast tail hidden beneath the water suddenly swept up, causing a row of ice waves that were airtight. The ice waves were mixed with a sharp evil Qi, howling forth like a torrential rain of swords.

Shen Huanyang turned pale with fright as he shouted frantically, "City Lord and Yu Yin, quickly retreat! Everyone else, get ready to fight! " Before he could finish his sentence, he swiftly conjured the Dark Concealed Bow. Yun Jiu Tang also held onto the black blade in his hand and the two of them charged towards the huge wave.

With a loud bang, the huge wave was split open, and endless waves crashed down. Everyone was drenched in water, and that bone chilling feeling made them feel as if they were naked in winter.

Shen Jingyang and Yun Jiutang were already standing on the cliff wall. Originally, there was no room for them to stand on. The two of them had relied on their inner strength to stand on this cliff. The others stood at the entrance of the cave as they prepared their formations, preparing to engage in battle with all their might.

The Qiong Qi roared again, its voice shaking the sky. The head fiercely shook and charged forward. Everyone was shocked. They didn't think that this Qiong Qi would put his life on the line the moment he arrived, and would not hesitate to attack with his head.

In an instant, the entire cliff basin was filled with flying stones and icicles. Inside the cave, Gu Xueluo, Wang Qingchuan, and Li Zongyin were forced into a corner by the rapidly approaching rocks. Li Zongyin couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the stone several times. With a bang, his body was in pain and he spat out blood as if he had lost his bones.

Seeing that Li Zongyin was severely injured right after taking on the challenge, Yun Jiu Tang shouted, "Brother Zongyin, you have to hold on!" The moment he said those words, Qiong Qi's gaze turned towards him.
