A slender man with dark skin, short, neat hair, and wearing a fur coat stood quietly behind the Xuanwu Ice Stele, looking at the group of people.
Gu Yifeng immediately stowed away his immortal boat and, along with a group of people, came before the man.
"Please come in, all four of you. Our clan leader invites you."
The man smiled warmly and spoke calmly.
"Hmm? Your clan leader knew we were coming?"
Gu Yifeng was quite surprised to hear this. He had thought that the Xuanwu clan had only sensed their aura and had come to check, but he did not expect that they had been prepared all along.
Yes. Please.
The man nodded slightly, then led the four people to a tent in the center. There, a campfire was burning in the center of the tent, and several old men were sitting around it warming themselves.
"Clan leader, elders, your disciple has brought the guests."
The man spoke softly, then turned and stepped back. The crowd glanced at him, then pointed to the empty seats and asked the four of them to sit down.
"Welcome to the four of you. I'm sure you have many questions. Let me explain them to you. First, let me introduce myself. I am Xuan Yin, the patriarch of the Xuanwu clan."
The elderly man with short white hair at the head of the group slowly got up, then closed the tent, shutting down the central roof as well, plunging the tent into darkness.
However, it only lasted for a moment before Xuan Yin circulated his spiritual power. A ball of dark light flickered, emitting a pale blue glow. Upon closer inspection, it actually transformed into a water droplet, continuously emitting light.
After walking around the tent, pictures appeared around it, like murals, which looked incredibly magical.
"People only know that my Xuanwu clan is skilled in ice and water control, but they don't know that in addition to these two, my Xuanwu clan also has an innate supernatural power, which is to foresee the future."
"About two months ago, after a pillar of emerald light erupted on Azure Dragon Island, a dark blue pillar of light also shot into the sky from Xuanwu Heaven. The source of this pillar was Xuanwu Heaven. At that time, the Holy Venerable issued a new prophecy."
Xuan Yin slowly spoke, pointing to the side, where a brand new mural appeared. The mural depicted an ice field, with four figures hurriedly arriving in a celestial boat.
What exactly is the prophecy?
Gu Yifeng asked curiously.
"A great era is dawning, and the ways of Heaven are changing. The prophesied child will travel to the four extremes, unify the five elements, and witness the chaos. He will slay the wicked, eliminate demons, fight against the ways of Heaven, and protect our homeland."
Xuan Yin uttered some unpredictable words about promotion, leaving Nangong Wan and the others completely baffled. Gu Yifeng, however, suddenly became serious, and even felt a hint of killing intent rising in his heart.
It seems only he could say that he could travel to the four extreme regions, sign in to obtain the Five Elements Divine Souls, and then unify the Five Elements Divine Souls to directly break through to the Tai Xu Realm.
Although the later part of the prophecy cannot be verified, based on the preceding part alone, Gu Yifeng was certain that the prophecy was most likely describing himself. Since it concerned his own safety, he naturally couldn't help but feel murderous intent towards the Xuanwu clan.
Is that all?
Gu Yifeng couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, there is more. If chaos does not emerge, the Great Dao will be incomplete. If it touches the aura of demons, it may fall into demonic possession, destroy the world and bring disaster to the heavens, making it difficult to achieve perfection. If people from outside the realm enter the country, the continent will be in danger."
Xuan Yin spoke slowly, looking at Gu Yifeng with a meaningful gaze, the meaning of which was unclear.
"So, what does the clan leader mean?"
Gu Yifeng continued to ask.
"If you have joined the Xuanwu Clan, you have already achieved your goal and are free to leave or stay as you see fit. If you wish to enter the Xuanwu Heaven, please accept the trial."
Xuan Yin continued speaking, and then his aura fluctuated. The tent immediately returned to its original state, the murals disappeared one by one, and his gaze fell on Gu Yifeng.
"What kind of ordeal is this, that it's so serious?"
Nangong Wan quickly asked from the side.
"Entering the Frost Prison of my Xuanwu Clan, and being able to emerge from the eighteenth level is considered passing the trial."
Xuan Yin spoke slowly, and then a spatial vortex slowly appeared in the center of the tent. As soon as the teleportation channel opened, gusts of bone-chilling cold wind blew out from it.
Not to mention Nangong Wan, even the Third Elder, who was in the mid-stage of the Taixu Realm, felt a chill and couldn't help but shrink back.
"Is this the only request?"
Gu Yifeng asked, seemingly unconcerned.
Xuan Yin didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly. Without another word, he stepped into the spatial vortex. Before Nangong Wan could even pull him away, he had already disappeared from the tent.
When Gu Yifeng opened his eyes again, he had arrived at a snow-white place. The surrounding wind was biting cold, and the temperature was enough to freeze a cultivator at the Opening Mansion Realm to death instantly.
This is the eighteenth level of the Xuanwu Clan's Frost Prison.
Before Gu Yifeng could even observe his surroundings, he sensed a group of frenzied auras, each of them at the peak of the Condensation Realm.
Without hesitation, he unleashed the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, creating two avatars that fought back-to-back. After about three breaths, a pack of snow-white wolves appeared around them, surrounding the three beings.
They were a pack of snow wolves, their eyes a strange ice-blue.
The lead wolf let out a long howl, and the pack of wolves instantly charged out, pouncing on Gu Yifeng.
"Perfect, I'll use you guys as practice!"
Seeing this, Gu Yifeng also became excited. With a thought, he and his two avatars simultaneously formed hand seals, circulated their spiritual power, and three huge formations were set up. Then, purple ice rain fell like a torrential downpour.
The impact struck the snow wolves like a knife, instantly leaving a bloody hole in their flesh.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, nearly 70% of the wolf pack's bodies suddenly exploded, accompanied by streaks of purple flames that burned continuously, turning the surrounding area into a sea of fire.
Strands of blood-red light flew out from the wolf pack and disappeared into the void. A moment later, three icy blue lights fell back from the void and disappeared into Gu Yifeng and the two avatars.
Before he could react, two ice wings sprouted from his back, and a long sword forged from ice appeared in his hand. With a casual swing, a string of ice spikes burst forth, tearing the snow wolf in front of him to shreds.
As for the two avatars, one uses spiritual power to point out a snow lotus flower that blooms, absorbing the snow wolf's physical strength before exploding.
Another incarnation can use spiritual power to summon blizzards. The originally fragile snowflakes become sharp blades, and the blizzard instantly turns into a meat grinder, directly shredding the snow wolf into blood and gore.
This was the blessing of the Frost Law that the three of them received. Gu Yifeng received the highest level of blessing. With a thought, a name appeared in his mind: Child of Ice.
The effect is simple and brutal: one can use the ice blade in their hand to unleash power far exceeding a major realm, for a period of one hour.
Looking at the ice-made longsword in his hand, Gu Yifeng had a thought, and his body flew high into the air, instantly bursting with astonishing speed. His two avatars turned into pure energy and returned to his dantian.
The other two blessings also fell into the hands of his true form.
