Judging from Lin Ruoyun's current actions, Bai Chi felt that the latter was more likely.

These thoughts only flashed through Bai Chi's mind, but he chuckled softly, "So there are things Yun Xiao can't do."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a pain on his neck. As a result, he felt distressed again and licked the red bite mark with the tip of his tongue, which made Bai Chi shudder.

"Achi, you underestimate me too much. If the thing sealed under the ten thousand year old cold pond is released..."

As he spoke, he chuckled to himself.

But he soon realized something was wrong, and when he turned his head slightly, he saw Bai Chi looking ahead with a thoughtful look on his face.

Following Bai Chi's gaze, I saw the direction where Lin Ruoyun had just left.

"What's wrong with Ah Chi? Is he worried that Lin Ruoyun might tamper with the things under the cold pond?"

Not worry, but affirmation.

With Fu Yunxiao's explanation, he now fully understood Lin Ruoyun's purpose.

Without staying any longer, he turned around and left with Fu Yunxiao.

Since everything was Lin Ruoyun's fault, it would be easier to solve.

"Where is Achi going now?"

"Go and see the cold pond."

Fu Yunxiao quickly transformed into a snake again, drilled into Bai Chi's collar, followed Bai Chi's collarbone, and finally coiled around the pendant on Bai Chi's chest.

"Achi is afraid of the cold?"

The crystal on the pendant should be of fire attribute, constantly emitting bursts of heat.

This heat cannot be used for cultivation. Apart from keeping warm, Fu Yunxiao didn't see any use for it.

"Fortunately, as long as it's not freezing cold, it's not a big problem."

This time he did not hide the crystal core necklace. There was really no need to. Fu Yunxiao's cultivation was much higher than his. Even if his mental power was strong, Fu Yunxiao could still discover the existence of the crystal core necklace.

On the contrary, wanting to hide such thoughts will make people think too much.

"What is this crystal, Ah Chi? It has a different energy than anything I've ever seen."

A small silver snake, wrapped around the necklace, tapped the crystal core underneath with its tail, its voice filled with curiosity.

He is an ice-type demon cultivator, so logically he should have an instinctive rejection reaction to this kind of hot crystal.

But this crystal doesn't have that feeling, it even feels a bit familiar.

That's strange.

"I got this by chance. I used to be afraid of colds, but this crystal can help alleviate them."

"Meow, Master, you are becoming more and more adept at lying."

Xiao Hei complained, and then called up the information about the Wanxiang Sect’s Eternal Cold Pond.

"Master, this world is too old, the data is too dense, and a large amount of written records have been lost. I have only found two ambiguous pieces of information."

"What is it?"

Fu Yunxiao was curiously studying the crystal core, and Bai Chi did not stop him.

Although this crystal core is different from the crystal stones in this world, for Yunxiao, they are indeed of the same origin in another sense, so it is normal for him to feel familiar.

"The first theory states that tens of thousands of years ago, a type of demonic creature existed throughout the continent. These demonic creatures delighted in eating human flesh, causing unbearable suffering for humans. Eventually, a powerful being sealed these demonic creatures away."

"The second theory is similar, with a slight twist. The monster wasn't sealed by the cultivators of this world, but by immortals from the upper realms who came to seal it, also sealing the ascension path for the cultivators of this world."

Ascension channel?

In other words, even if he is a child of destiny, he will still not be able to ascend successfully after practicing to the end?

'Where did you get this news?'

"The Wanxiang Sect's treasure house, meow, master. This sect has a lot of good things, including some ancient jade slips. I extracted the information from those jade slips."

"What is Achi thinking?"

Fu Yunxiao, who had not heard any movement, returned to Bai Chi's shoulder. Seeing Bai Chi's thoughtful expression, he couldn't help but feel curious.

"I was just wondering, Master has lived for over five thousand years now. He's incredibly powerful and must have considerable experience. Why couldn't he see that there was something wrong with Lin Ruoyun?"

"He's been deceived. Ah Chi wants to deal with Lin Ruoyun?"

"I have some ideas, but there's no rush. Let's go to the cold pond first to see the situation."

Bai Chi felt that things might not be as simple as Fu Yunxiao said, but he knew very little about this aspect, so he decided to wait and see.

As they were talking, the man and the snake had already arrived outside the cold pond in stealth. This place was originally a forbidden area, and there were disciples guarding the periphery, but Bai Chi was obviously one step ahead.

Normally, no one would come here. Even the spiritual energy in the air here carries a bone-chilling coldness, and it will attach to the body as one practices. It is extremely harmful to practitioners outside the ice system.

Sure enough, just after getting close for a while, Bai Chi understood the feeling that Fu Yunxiao had described before. It was a faint aura, the same as that on Lin Ruoyun.

The mental power spread out quickly, but Lin Ruoyun was not found nearby. He was not here.

There was a thick layer of hard ice on the ground, and no grass grew near the cold pond, which showed how low the temperature was.

However, the cold pond did not freeze. Instead, one could clearly feel streams of spiritual power carrying a chilling chill rising from the water and dissipating around.

Bai Chi's mental power carefully probed into the pool of water, but as soon as it touched the water, he shuddered and a bone-chilling chill swept through his body.

"Achi, be careful!"

Fu Yunxiao quickly transformed into a half-human form and caught Bai Chi who was about to fall. Then he saw that Bai Chi's eyes were closed and his body was covered with a thin layer of frost.

not good!

Fu Yunxiao noticed something was wrong, picked up Bai Chi, turned around and left quickly.
