They had only just entered the Frozen Prison when they encountered a pack of snow wolves at the peak of the Condensation Realm. This showed that the Trial Grounds were indeed not simple. Without absolute strength, one probably wouldn't last even an incense stick's time after entering.
Fortunately, Gu Yifeng possessed the Frost Spirit Body, and the raging wind and snow around him turned into frost energy that flowed into his body, which he absorbed and refined on his own, transforming into spiritual power that flowed into his dantian.
Because this trial ground was covered in snow and wind, making it impossible to determine directions, he could only try to increase his altitude as much as possible to search.
As he swiftly turned, he was completely unaware that the snow beneath his feet was slowly shifting, and that various auras were awakening upon sensing the movement of Gu Yifeng.
After the snow wolf pack was completely slaughtered, the stench of blood spread even further, carried by the wind and snow to the entire eighteenth floor.
"Clang!"
With a phoenix cry, a huge figure blocked out the light source of this trial ground, casting a massive shadow on the snow.
The snow dust on its body was shaken off, revealing an extremely beautiful set of ice-blue feathers. Its entire body was ice-blue, and it resembled a phoenix. It was the Ice Phoenix, one of the top demonic beasts.
Without any time to react, the Ice Phoenix flapped its wings, and countless ice spikes shot out, heading straight for Gu Yifeng's face.
Fortunately, he was prepared and didn't even need to lift a finger. His wings suddenly spread out and blocked all the ice spike attacks.
The impact was not strong enough to cause Gu Yifeng to fall towards the ground.
The Ice Phoenix didn't miss this opportunity. It spread its wings and a tornado immediately rose up around it, carrying countless ice crystals and snowflakes, as well as sharp ice spikes.
The tornado roared toward Ancient Peak, and just as they were about to collide, a blade of light flashed, and a chilling aura spread out. The tornado was transformed into an ice sculpture, and then it exploded.
"You're the one!"
Gu Yifeng spoke coldly, his eyes flashing with a chilling light. He leaped up, his icy longsword flashing out repeatedly, each strike freezing and shattering everything in its path.
This is the terrifying effect of the Frost Law. The Ice Child enabled Gu Yifeng's every attack to break through to the Tai Xu Realm, and could even draw upon the Frost Power within the Frost Prison.
Faced with even more powerful icy slashes, the Ice Phoenix's massive body had no way to dodge. After blocking several blades with its ice spikes, its wings slowly froze, and it was then knocked to the ground.
"Tell me, how much do you know about this level of space?"
Gu Yifeng flashed to the neck of the ice phoenix, his feet restricting its movements, and his ice blade gently placed on the three ice feathers on its head.
This is the Ice Phoenix's natal feather. Once destroyed, its cultivation level and lifespan will plummet instantly, and it may even die on the spot.
"My lord, spare my life! I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything. This is the Heavenly Prison of the Xuanwu Clan, originally intended to suppress us demon beasts who once wreaked havoc in the far north ice plains. It is said that it was personally established by the Xuanwu Saint Venerable."
"In this Heavenly Prison, we have all been branded, making it impossible for us to leave. Furthermore, our demonic power will be restricted, preventing us from using it freely. To escape the Heavenly Prison, we can only ascend each level."
The ice phoenix spoke slowly, its voice gentle and melodious. It was an ice phoenix; in the phoenix clan, the phoenix is male and the phoenix is female.
"Do you know the way? Take me to the passage to the next level."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yifeng had a general idea and immediately continued to ask questions.
"But if I want to go to the higher levels, I have to defeat the gatekeeper. I have a mark planted in my body, so I can only barely exert the power of the early stage of the Taixu Realm. I am no match for the gatekeeper of the Taixu Realm."
Upon hearing this, Ice Phoenix's phoenix eyes revealed a pitiful expression, with large tears welling up in them, as she pitifully spoke to Gu Yifeng.
"If you don't go, you can go see your ancestors of the Ice Phoenix Clan right now."
Gu Yifeng, however, was completely unfazed by this move. He brought his sword close to the ice phoenix's natal feather, and the sharp aura of the blade slowly approached, frightening the ice phoenix into immediately agreeing.
He sheathed his ice blade, and the ice phoenix suddenly shone with a blue light, then transformed into a graceful woman wearing an ice-blue dress, with her white hair flowing down her back. She was a beautiful woman of unparalleled beauty.
Unfortunately, Gu Yifeng remained unchanged, his gaze towards the Ice Phoenix carrying only two cold words: Lead the way.
Ice Phoenix sighed helplessly and could only carry him into the sky. After choosing a direction, it flew forward at top speed, thinking it could outrun its opponent in terms of speed.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yifeng's speed was not inferior at all. He was only half a body length behind the Ice Phoenix, which was obviously more than enough. No matter how much the Ice Phoenix unleashed its power, it could not shake him off.
"You win! Hmph! My name is Lan Huanhuan. Why did you enter the Frozen Hell?"
Ice Phoenix pouted helplessly and said angrily.
"Old Man Xuan Yin's Trial".
Gu Yifeng didn't say much, only coldly replying, but his divine sense quietly spread out, sensing the changes around him. There were many auras following behind him, all of which were beings imprisoned in the Frozen Prison.
Upon hearing this, Lan Huanhuan began to talk incessantly again, explaining life in the Frozen Prison and how invincible she was...
Gu Yifeng ignored him, only frowning. The two flew for a whole day before finally seeing a huge altar on the vast snowfield, with a huge ice gate standing on top of it.
Just before reaching the altar, he paused, and two streams of pure energy emerged from his dantian, transforming into his true form. The three of them simultaneously circulated their spiritual power, and an array appeared beneath their feet.
Three breaths later, icy rain began to fall from the sky, like a torrential downpour, crashing straight into the ground.
The icy rain lasted for about half an incense stick's time, falling onto the snow without any apparent change, as if it had sunk into the sea. Gu Yifeng smiled strangely, and before Lan Huanhuan could react, a patch of blood began to spread across the snow below.
"Ice Rain Festival, go!"
Gu Yifeng let out a soft shout, and a series of violent explosions suddenly rang out beneath his feet. The torrential rain that had lasted for almost half an incense stick exploded at the same time, instantly transforming into a surging column of air.
An ice pillar rose from the ground, stained with bloodstains and fragments of flesh.
The specks of blood merged into one and soared into the sky, then transformed into three streaks of blue light that entered Gu Yifeng's body.
"Gu Yifeng from the Xuandao Mansion of Youzhou has come to challenge this trial!"
Gu Yifeng shouted and his figure shot up, instantly landing on the altar. A long ice blade appeared in his hand, along with a pair of ice wings on his back. As for the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, it had already returned to his dantian.
This time, the blessing of the Frost Law includes the Child of Ice, and the other two blessings are called Ice Armor Curse and Ice Dance. Possessing three Frost Blessings is the pinnacle.
