The Snow Song Realm King on the giant ice dragon had no breath in his body, and there was no pressure coming down from him, but Yun Che clearly felt that his heart and soul were being pressed down by thousands of mountains, and even his will and faith were trembling in a humble manner.
Yun Che had never felt this way before.
This is the highest realm of the divine way - the power of the divine master realm! At this level, she no longer needs to deliberately release her aura. Just by existing there, she will make all living beings kneel down in fear and awe.
Yun Che stood up with everyone else, his heart was in turmoil… For the first time, he felt so clearly how insignificant he was. The Snow Song Realm King above him was at the top of the divine way, while he himself had not even been able to enter the threshold of the divine way. Although they were both human beings, the gap between them was so huge that it was hard to describe the difference between them. If he stayed in the Profound Sky Continent and the Illusory Demon Realm for his entire life, he would only be able to look at the world from a well.
It’s just… I can’t see what he looks like at all, which is a bit regrettable.
The great elder Mu Huanzhi stepped forward, raised his head and said solemnly: "Master, the seventy-two elders of the Divine Temple, the thirty-six Palace Masters of the Divine Phoenix, the Chief Palace Master and Chief Deacon of the Frost Snow Palace, the two thousand disciples of the Divine Temple, the thirty-five hundred... and zero-two disciples of the Ice Phoenix Palace are all here, and we respectfully listen to the Master's command!"
"very good."
The voice like an oracle came down again with supreme power: "The Heavenly Netherfrost Lake is the location of the divine vein of our Snow Song Realm. It is a sacred place. Only one person is allowed to enter every three years, and no one is allowed to cross the border. However, the voice of Eternal Heaven three months ago announced to all realms that something big would happen, and it is very likely to be very close."
The words of the Snow Song Realm King were so heavy and domineering that every word seemed to be fiercely nailed into the depths of the soul. This voice that was so domineering that it could make the heavens and the earth tremble, made Yun Che picture in his mind a face of a woman who was extremely cold and heartless, with a gaze that was so terrifying that it could make anyone tremble with fear.
“For this, the Eternal Heaven Realm did not hesitate to use up all the power of the Eternal Heaven Pearl for the mysterious practitioners from the outside world. This move by the Eternal Heaven Realm has never been seen before. Then my Snow Song Realm should not be stingy with the power of the Nether Frost Heaven Lake.”
"Today, you can all enter the Dark Frost Heavenly Lake. How much you gain depends on your own luck! Huanzhi, arrange for them to enter the pool."
“Yes!” Mu Huanzhi’s whole body trembled when his name was called. He answered loudly, then turned around and said solemnly: “Everyone, you are the cornerstone of our Ice Phoenix Divine Sect’s future. Today, the Sect Master has bestowed upon you the grace of heaven and allowed you to enter the Nether Frost Heavenly Lake. This is a great fortune that has never been seen before! The power of the Heavenly Lake will help you to be reborn, and it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation of the Ice Mysterious Force.”
"The preliminary selection for the Profound God Conference in two years will be held in the Eternal Heaven Pearl. Once you enter, you will definitely benefit greatly from its unique power laws. Today's Tianchi Grand Gathering will allow more of you to qualify to enter the Eternal Heaven Pearl in two years. Everyone has different physiques, talents, and comprehension abilities. How much you can gain today depends on you. You just need to remember that after today, there may never be another opportunity like this again!"
After giving some instructions in a heavy tone, Mu Huanzhi waved his hand.
The Divine Temple came first, followed by the Ice Phoenix Palace. Led by the elders and palace masters, they flew in unison to the sky above the Netherfrost Lake.
The closer they got to the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake, the thicker the pure and extremely cold aura became. Mu Xiaolan's cultivation was only at the middle stage of the Divine Origin Realm. Apart from Yun Che, whose profound strength was the weakest, her ability to resist the cold was naturally the worst. She had no choice but to use all her profound strength to resist the cold, but at the same time, she was also extremely excited to feel that here, the circulation and recovery speed of the icy profound energy were several times faster than usual.
Mu Bingyun was at the back with Yun Che and Mu Xiaolan, but she did not lead them into the sky above the Heavenly Dark Frost Lake. Instead, she stopped by the lake.
“Xiaolan, Yun Che,” Mu Bingyun turned around and looked at Mu Xiaolan and Yun Che. One of them was surrounded by profound energy, but her body was still shivering from the cold, while the other was calm. “You two have too low cultivation bases. Forcing your way into the Heavenly Nether Frost Pond would only do more harm than good. You two should stay here. The cold air here is also generated from the Heavenly Nether Frost Pond. Soaking in it and tempering your bodies with the cold air will be enough to greatly improve your ability to control ice profound energy, which will be of great benefit to your future cultivation.”
"Yes, Master."
Mu Xiaolan had no objection. She knew that her abilities were not enough to get contaminated by the water of Tianchi Lake. Being able to get contaminated by the cold air that contained extremely high ice laws was a blessing she had never dared to hope for in the past.
She sat down quietly, took a quick breath, closed her eyes, and didn't dare to waste every breath here.
The water of Tianchi was right in front of him. After a moment of hesitation, Yun Che finally said, “Palace Master, I want to try…”
“Remember what you promised me before,” Mu Bingyun seemed to have anticipated what he was going to say, and interrupted him directly, with a serious face: “Do whatever I ask you to do, and don’t do what I don’t want you to do.”
Yun Che opened his mouth, but could only nod obediently: “Yes.”
He sat down next to Mu Xiaolan, and at this moment, Mu Bingyun's voice suddenly rang in his ears:
"You have a different physique, and you can forcibly practice the Ice Phoenix Conferred God Canon without the Ice Phoenix bloodline. The cold air here has no effect on you, so even though your profound strength is low, the water of the Heavenly Lake should not be able to hurt you. However, you are now famous. If you successfully immerse yourself in the water of the Heavenly Lake with your Junxuan body, it will definitely cause another wave, which will not benefit you at all."
"The Sect Master and I feel guilty towards you. Perhaps we will choose another day and allow you to come here alone."
“…” Yun Che raised his head and stared at Mu Bingyun’s back for a while. He felt a warm feeling in his heart and quickly calmed down. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate on feeling the pure cold air here and comprehending the laws of ice. He no longer cared about what was happening around him.
This was the Heavenly Dark Frost Lake, and with Mu Bingyun by his side, Yun Che did not need to set up any defenses. Soon, his consciousness had submerged unconsciously, and even the sound was isolated from him.
Mu Bingyun did not walk into the Heavenly Dark Frost Lake, but just stood in front of the two of them. At this time, Mu Sushan walked by from behind, his eyes flickered over Yun Che, his footsteps paused in shock, and then he sighed: "In just three months, he has already reached the peak of the Sovereign Profound Realm, and his profound energy is so stable... Palace Master Bingyun, I really can't think of how you trained him to this point."
Mu Bingyun shook her head slightly: "It has nothing to do with me."
"Haha, all I can say is that this kid is a freak that goes against common sense." Mu Sushan said.
Mu Bingyun smiled indifferently and did not comment.
The other thirty-five Ice Phoenix Palaces had already arrived above the Nether Frost Heavenly Lake. At the First Palace, Mu Yizhou glanced at Yun Che, who was sitting by the lake, and flashed a sneer of contempt. He then didn't bother to look at him again, and followed the Palace Master's instructions to slowly sink down, dropping his body into the Nether Frost Heavenly Lake bit by bit.
The moment his toes touched the water of the Nether Cold Pond, a burst of cold air instantly burst out and spread all over his body. He felt as if he was suddenly sealed into the legendary icy hell. The mysterious energy around him also suddenly became like a boiling flame, flowing at a very fast speed.
The Nether Frost Heavenly Lake was rippling, and the dancing ice spirits were scattered far away. All the disciples of the Divine Temple and the Ice Phoenix Palace disciples outside the 36th Palace had already entered the Heavenly Lake. The terrifying cold air made them feel like they were falling into an ice prison the moment they entered, and they were in unbearable pain, but their hearts were so excited that they were almost exploding. Everyone immediately mobilized their thoughts and profound strength to control and guide the cold air.
Although they had just entered, under the pure cold air from the Dark Cold Heavenly Lake, they could feel that their bodies and profound veins were undergoing changes that were big enough to be clearly perceived.
Although they had heard about the wonders of the Dark Frost Lake, they were still as surprised as if they were in a dream when they entered it in person. They were so ecstatic that they even accepted the pain brought by the extreme cold.
Compared to the Ice Phoenix Palace disciples, the expressions of the Temple disciples were much calmer. The most watched Mu Hanyi and Mu Feixue did not change their expressions or show any emotion when they dipped into the Heavenly Lake.
Except for Mu Bingyun, Yun Che, and Mu Xiaolan, everyone else had already entered the Heavenly Lake. However, the elders and palace masters did not immediately begin tempering their bodies with the lake water like the disciples did. After waiting for a long time, they all turned their eyes to the great elder Mu Huanzhi.
Especially the Thirty-Ninth Elder Mu Yunzhi, whose breathing was a little disordered.
The great elder Mu Huanzhi was also extremely anxious. Finally, he made up his mind and raised his head and said, "Sect Master, regarding the matter of the personal disciple..."
As soon as these words came out, a large number of temple disciples opened their eyes instantly and cast their gazes towards Mu Hanyi and Mu Feixue.
"Of course I haven't forgotten."
The voice of the Snow Song Realm King came from the giant ice dragon: "Now that we have arrived at the Dark Frost Lake, there is no need for me to personally teach you as a disciple!"
A blue light suddenly shone down from the sky, forming a strange-shaped mysterious formation. Then, a wave of water from the Tianchi Lake suddenly rose up and fell into the mysterious formation in the air.
At the end of the mysterious formation, the trapped water of the Tianchi Lake slowly dripped down and fell into the Tianchi Lake, making a crisp "ding" sound, which did not sound like water drops falling at all, but as crisp as the collision of ice crystals.
"Master, what does this mean?" Mu Huanzhi asked in confusion.
Mu Hanyi raised his head, and his eyes, which were usually as calm as autumn water, released an intense burning heat.
"After three hours, the water in the Tianchi Lake in the formation will drain away. When it drains away, whoever attracts the most Tianchi Ice Spirits will be my next personal disciple!!"
After a brief moment of shock, everyone immediately reacted. Mu Huanzhi sincerely shouted "Master, you are wise", then turned around like lightning and roared like thunder: "Feixue!"
On the other side, Mu Yunzhi had already rushed above Mu Hanyi and waved his palm, pushing away all the other disciples within a hundred feet of Mu Hanyi: "Hanyi, start now!"
The ice spirits in the Heavenly Nether Frost Pond were by no means ordinary ice spirits. Each of them was transformed by the cold air of the Heavenly Nether Pond, and possessed a high level of consciousness and a nearly complete soul. It was extremely difficult for such ice spirits to not be rejected by them, even for a profound practitioner who practiced pure ice-related profound arts, let alone communicate with them.
Therefore, although this "trial" from the King of the Snow Song Realm may seem extremely simple, it is actually a comprehensive test of a person's physique, talent, understanding of the laws, and control ability.
The more your body is compatible with ice power, the more thorough your understanding of ice laws, and the stronger your ability to control ice power, then you will naturally be less repelled by the Tianchi ice spirits. You can then try to communicate with them, and gradually attract them... If your control over ice power is strong enough, you can even control these ice spirits for your own use.
In comparison, the corresponding Xuan Dao cultivation is not too important.
And in the past, when the King of the Realm selected his disciples, he did not pay much attention to the current level of cultivation. Because the current level of cultivation is only the current level of cultivation, and the ability to comprehend and control the laws determines the speed of cultivation and the upper limit that can be achieved in the future!
This is why Mu Hanyi and Mu Feixue, although their strength is only average among all the disciples in the temple, are recognized as the two most qualified to become the direct disciples of the King of the Realm.
But then again, people with such high talents will naturally have high cultivation levels among people of the same age. Mu Hanyi and Mu Feixue are both unmatched in their cultivation levels among their peers in the entire Snow Song Realm. After all, talent and strength go hand in hand.
Mu Hanyi didn't need Mu Yunzhi's reminder. Blue light was already floating on his body. Within a few breaths, he had exerted his icy power to the limit. The rich and pure cold air carried his soul power and spread to the surroundings.
On the other side, Mu Feixue's beautiful eyes were closed, her expression was quiet and pure like a snow lotus. Just thirty feet in front of her, an ice spirit that was about to fly away suddenly slowed down, then gradually stopped. After a long silence, it seemed to be hesitant, and flew towards Mu Feixue lightly and slowly.
Of course, it was not just Mu Hanyi and Mu Feixue who attracted Bing Ling. Almost all the disciples of the temple had already released their profound and soul powers with all their strength... Although they knew that their hopes were slim, if they could become the master's personal disciple, it would undoubtedly be a step to heaven. No matter how small the hope was, they would try their best.
The water of the Tianchi Lake in the mysterious formation fell drop by drop, driving the passage of time. Above the Minghan Tianchi Lake, a fierce battle for the Tianchi Ice Spirit began to unfold. It was extremely quiet and extremely fierce.
By the side of the Heavenly Lake, Yun Che’s consciousness had completely sunk. He could no longer sense any existence in the outside world. He was completely unaware of the fierce battle in the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake, and was not even aware of the words that the Snow Song Realm King had spoken earlier.
With his five senses empty, the speed at which the cold air from the Heavenly Lake poured into his body was dozens of times faster than that of Mu Xiaolan beside him. Under the extremely pure and clean cold air that contained extremely high power laws, the profound energy in Yun Che's body drove the cold air to circulate rapidly, and quietly changed during each circulation.
