Xia Qingyue arrived in front of the stone gate of the Frozen End Temple and said in a voice that could penetrate it: “Yun Che, is it convenient for me to come in?”
After she finished speaking, she waited for a long time without any response from inside. She concentrated slightly, but for a long time, she did not hear any movement from inside.
Is it no longer in there?
“Yun Che, are you in there?” Xia Qingyue asked again.
This time, there was still no response.
Xia Qingyue stretched out her hand, and the light of the Frozen Cloud Art shone on the stone door. Suddenly, there was a slight sound, and the stone door slowly opened. Xia Qingyue took a step forward... just one step. The moment she stepped into the Frozen End Temple, her body suddenly paused, and she froze there.
Yun Che did not leave. During these seven days, he had been in the Frozen End Temple the entire time. The moment the stone door opened, Xia Qingyue saw him at a glance. At this moment, Yun Che was sitting upright on the ground, his eyes tightly closed, his hands open, palms facing the sky. On his left hand, a Frozen End tree was glowing coldly, and on his right hand, a ball of red flame was swaying silently.
What made Xia Qingyue stunned was not these things, but the air that was coming towards her...
The right side of her body was like being in an icy hell, while the left side was like being in a sea of fire in purgatory... The empty Bingyi Temple was actually divided into two distinct worlds that did not interfere with each other at all!
Xia Qingyue’s beautiful eyes trembled violently… What was going on?
In the same space, the extreme heat and extreme cold will cancel each other out, reducing the degree of heat and cold, just like the flames and ice crystals that cancel each other out. This is the most basic common sense that even children know very well, but what appeared in front of Xia Qingyue was a scene that completely defied common sense! The cold on the right and the extreme heat on the left did not cancel each other out at all, as if there was an insurmountable transparent barrier between the two.
At this moment, Yun Che, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly moved. Slowly, he moved his hands together, his movements were extremely slow, as if every move consumed a huge amount of strength. As his arms moved, Bing Yi and Feng Yan also moved closer little by little, and finally touched each other.
There was no scene of the flames melting the Ice End, or the Ice End suppressing the flames. What Xia Qingyue saw next was a scene that completely shattered her cognition and overturned her most basic common sense… The Ice End and the Phoenix Flame actually slowly blended with each other. The Ice End sank into the flames, and the flames sank into the Ice End. There was no rejection, no cancellation. It was like two liquids of different colors, penetrating into each other, and then intimately mixed together completely.
Ice and fire... mixed together! ?
At the same time, the icy cold and scorching heat that were originally on both sides of the Frozen End Temple also blended together… The blending of icy cold and scorching heat of equal intensity should have balanced to a normal temperature state by canceling each other out, but Xia Qingyue clearly felt that the space around her was a place where extreme cold and scorching heat coexisted, madly intertwined, and the space was twisting. Her whole body felt extremely uncomfortable in this completely unreasonable environment, and it was not until she used 90% of her profound energy to protect herself that she felt a little relieved.
At this time, the Frozen End and Phoenix Flame in Yun Che’s hands had completely merged together. The ice-blue Frozen End and the scarlet Phoenix Flame had disappeared. On Yun Che’s folded palms, a ball of blue weird flame appeared!
According to the color of the mysterious fire, the weakest is the orange flame, followed by the red flame, followed by the blue flame, and followed by the purple flame. However, the blue color of the flame in Yun Che's hand was different from the bright blue color of the blue mysterious fire. Instead, it was a color that Xia Qingyue was very familiar with... an ice blue!
Ice-colored flame!
The icy blue flames swayed and danced in Yun Che’s hands, gradually dancing more and more violently. Yun Che’s hands also trembled violently, as if gradually losing control of the icy flames in his hands… Finally, Yun Che’s whole body shook violently, his face turned pale, a puff of blood mist spurted out of his mouth, and the icy flames also fell from his hands and fell onto the ground paved with skystone.
Xia Qingyue’s breathing stagnated, her icy shadow swayed, and she flashed in front of Yun Che. Just as she was about to speak, her sight suddenly fell in front of Yun Che… and she froze again.
Right where the ice flame had just fallen, a hole half a foot long and about a foot deep appeared on the ground. The hole was in the shape of an extremely standard circle, and the inside was extremely smooth, shining like a mirror, as if it had been carefully polished with extremely exquisite craftsmanship!
But Xia Qingyue was extremely sure that there was no such pit here before. The walls and the ground here were all paved with skystone. In Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, even the most powerful Grand Palace Master Feng Qianhui did not have the ability to destroy the skystone. The destructive power of Yun Che's heavy sword was so amazing, and he was holding the Emperor Profound Heavy Sword, but at 90% of his strength, he could not leave the slightest scratch on the skystone.
But now, such a shocking pit has appeared.
Could it be... that this was caused by that icy flame?
There was no trace of ice in the pit, let alone any signs of burning!
“Haha…haha…hahahahaha…”
Yun Che sat on the ground, not caring about the blood on the corner of his mouth, and laughed wantonly: “Finally… succeeded… Hahahaha…”
“What on earth… is this?” Xia Qingyue shifted her gaze to Yun Che’s face, her expression showing shock that was difficult to suppress.
“It’s a special kind of fire, and also a special kind of ice. It’s a power derived from defying the rules!” Yun Che stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, grinning: “It’s just that I’ve only just begun to glimpse the way, and can only use it with difficulty… and have to endure a huge backlash, but… this has at least proved that defying the rules of the elements is not impossible! And the power derived from doing so is far more terrifying than I imagined.”
“You mean… to fuse ice and fire? Is this really possible?” Xia Qingyue exclaimed in astonishment.
“I can, but others can’t.” Yun Che smiled with his lips tilted. Although he suffered backlash, the successful fusion of ice flames made him extremely excited. He stood up, looked at Xia Qingyue and said, “This matter is my secret. Don’t tell anyone.”
Xia Qingyue: “…”
"How many days have I been here?"
"Seven days."
“Seven days…” Yun Che raised his hand and tapped his chin. Then he suddenly thought of something and quickly picked up his sound transmission jade. Sure enough, there were several more voice imprints from Cang Yue and Cang Wan He on it.
“There is only one month left before the Profound Sky Seven Nations Ranking Tournament. It will take more than ten days to get from here to Shenhuang City at the fastest speed. It’s time for you to get ready.” Xia Qingyue said. Although she was extremely surprised, she did not mention the matter of Bingyan again.
“Okay, got it.” Yun Che nodded: “Wait, you said let me get ready… you mean, don’t you want to go with me?”
"The Palace Master does not allow me to participate in the Tianxuan Seven Kingdoms Ranking Tournament this time."
"Why?"
Xia Qingyue sighed faintly and did not answer directly: "Follow me to see the Palace Master."
Following Xia Qingyue to see Gong Yuxian, Yun Che asked before Gong Yuxian opened her mouth, “Palace Master, why didn’t you let Qingyue go with me to the Tianxuan Seven Nations Qualifying Tournament this time? The age requirement for the Seven Nations Qualifying Tournament is over 18 years old and under 25 years old. In Cangfeng Nation, the one who is most qualified to represent Cangfeng in the war is Qingyue.”
Gong Yuxian had known that he would ask this question. She looked calm and said slowly, "This is not what I meant. This is what the Grand Palace Master meant."
“Grand Palace Master? What’s the reason?” Yun Che continued to ask.
Gong Yuxian looked at him deeply and said, “Yun Che, I know you have always wanted to know the real reason why the Grand Palace Master broke the sect rules to let you enter Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. I can tell you the answer now… Actually, the Grand Palace Master did not lie that day. The only reason she wanted you to enter Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace was because of your potential and current strength. However, behind this reason, there is another extremely important reason, and that is the thousand-year calamity of my Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.”
“A thousand years of calamity?” Yun Che was surprised.
"The Thousand-Year Disaster is a prophecy left by the Ice Cloud Ancestor, predicting that Ice Cloud Immortal Palace will suffer a great catastrophe a thousand years later. Now, a thousand years later, the Grand Palace Master has gradually sensed the coming of the catastrophe. In order to increase the possibility of surviving this disaster, the Grand Palace Master has chosen to let you enter Ice Cloud Immortal Palace to borrow your strength... After all, because of the relationship between Qingyue and Yuechan, you probably won't refuse."
Gong Yuxian’s words made Yun Che slightly stunned. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “Then the reason why the Grand Palace Master did not allow Qingyue to participate in the Seven Nations Ranked Tournament, could it be that…”
"Because you have the blood of the Phoenix, you have an inextricable grudge with the Phoenix Sect. Four months ago, you severely injured and humiliated the Divine Phoenix Prince, which further deepened the grudge. Therefore, your trip to Divine Phoenix City will inevitably be full of dangers, and you may even die there, but you have to go. And if Qingyue goes with you, you are husband and wife after all. If you encounter a disaster, Qingyue will definitely not ignore it, and thus put Qingyue in danger. Qingyue is the young palace master of my Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace and the hope of the future of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. She must not get into trouble! So..."
“I understand.” Yun Che nodded. Hearing this, he had completely understood the reason why Feng Qianhui did not allow Xia Qingyue to participate in the Seven Nations Ranked Tournament… Even though with Xia Qingyue’s cultivation, she would definitely shine in the Ranked Tournament and make Ice Cloud Immortal Palace famous in the Seven Nations. But if she went there, it would be very likely that she would be involved in the feud with the Divine Phoenix Sect because of him. He knew very well how great the risk and crisis would be if she went to the Divine Phoenix Nation… If the entire Ice Cloud Immortal Palace perished in the disaster, as long as there was only Xia Qingyue, there would be unlimited hope. But if Xia Qingyue was in trouble… Ice Cloud Immortal Palace would definitely not accept it.
“The Palace Master’s orders cannot be disobeyed. You must be careful in Divine Phoenix City.” Xia Qingyue said softly.
“Don’t worry. If I were so easily in trouble, I wouldn’t be alive today.” Yun Che said arrogantly. He gave Gong Yuxian a simple disciple’s greeting and said, “Palace Master, in this case, I would like to leave Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace today, return to the Imperial City temporarily, and then go directly to the Divine Phoenix Empire.”
"You want to go there ahead of time to find out what's going on with the Phoenix Sect?" Gong Yuxian nodded, "Okay, it's better to be proactive than passive. When you get to Shenhuang City, you must be careful about everything and put your life first. Don't forget, if a catastrophe really strikes Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, it will still rely on your strength."
“Yes, I will never forget my identity as a disciple of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. I have been deeply blessed by the Ice Palace over the past few months, and I will definitely come back alive to repay the sect’s kindness.” Yun Che said solemnly.
