In the heart of this boundless Xuanbing Domain, a massive ice lake suddenly appears before your eyes.
The lake surface was as smooth as an endless mirror, radiating a cold, eerie glow in the biting wind.
At the edge of the frozen lake, layers of ice blocks press against each other and pile up, forming a natural ice dam. The ice dam is covered with thick snow, forming a white hada scarf that encircles the frozen lake.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Several streaks of sound swept down from the sky, and as they stepped into the frozen lake, the chill intensified. The ice beneath their feet appeared incredibly thick, yet each step still produced a crisp sound that sent shivers down their spines.
"Yes, this is the place."
Looking at the vast expanse of ice, Qin Luo murmured meaningfully.
Huang Lu and Su Yaoyue, who were behind them, did not understand why they suddenly led everyone away from that inheritance space and plunged into this desolate icy land.
Although they had some doubts, they didn't question anything. They just looked around with curious eyes.
On the other hand, as a first-rank saint, Murong Liyue felt something was off as soon as she stepped into this space, and a strange feeling crept into her heart.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, a hint of melancholy veiling her brows.
Her spiritual energy circulated quietly around her, and her eyes glowed with a faint silver light as she scanned and surveyed the ice surface. But no matter how hard she tried to sense it, all she could see was a biting, piercing cold and the deathly stillness emanating from the thick ice layer; nothing else.
Doubts continued to grow in her heart, but when she looked up and saw Qin Luo's confident and composed expression, Murong Liyue shook her head and suppressed her doubts, quietly accompanying Qin Luo on his left.
Sikong Xiu, trailing at the back of the group, was almost consumed by resentment. She stared intently at Qin Luo, who stood at the very front, wondering if the man felt guilty.
In her view, Qin Luo's actions were most likely an attempt to evade responsibility for expelling everyone from Yinhai, which is why he deliberately led them to this godforsaken, frozen lake.
However, now that she has calmed down, she no longer has the urge to rush forward and question them as she did before.
The thought of the inescapable restriction in her mind, like a leech, and the torment she had suffered not long ago, still vividly reminded her of it. Just recalling it made her heart pound and her body tremble uncontrollably.
"I, Sikong Xiu, have never suffered such a great loss before. You just wait and see, I will definitely get back this blood debt with interest!"
She gritted her teeth secretly, her cheeks puffing out from the effort, cursing Qin Luo viciously in her heart.
Forced to compromise at the moment, she could only suppress her resentment and stand silently to the side, warily scanning the surroundings.
As various thoughts arose in everyone's minds, the ice surface suddenly trembled violently as Qin Luo murmured this.
Startled by the sudden tremor, everyone instinctively circulated their spiritual energy, constructing a protective barrier around themselves. Instantly, various colors of light flickered on the icy plain, and fluctuations of spiritual energy spread outwards, resisting the surrounding cold.
The next moment, the ice beneath their feet cracked layer by layer at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the cracks spread rapidly.
Countless enormous ice blocks, as if breaking free from the pull of gravity, roared into the sky. As they rose, these ice blocks collided and joined together, completely shattering the desolate world.
In the blink of an eye, they condensed into an icy ring with a diameter of over a hundred feet high in the sky.
The ice rings are crystal clear and hollow inside, creating a vast and empty space that echoes the chilling aura, resulting in a spectacular scene that is both eerie and awe-inspiring.
Then, without warning, the ice ring burst into a burst of light. The intense light, like the rising sun, instantly illuminated the entire ice field, making it almost impossible for everyone to open their eyes.
Everyone instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes, watching the ice ring's changes nervously through their fingers.
As the light dimmed, everyone looked closely and saw a faint blue light and shadow quietly appearing in the center of the ice ring.
The light and shadow were dreamlike and illusory, like an entrance to another mysterious world, making people want to explore it.
"This is... one of the five major ruins of the second phase!"
Sikong Xiu stared in disbelief, muttering to herself.
How is that possible? Wasn't it said that only the top-ranked teams on the leaderboard would be the first to know the location of these ruins?
Her gaze was fixed on Qin Luo, unable to resolve the doubts in her heart, as if she wanted to see right through him.
Moreover, she had secretly checked the rankings not long ago. The highest-ranked team from Lingyuan Sect this year was only ranked outside the top forty, and that team was from the Burning Heaven Domain!
All these incredible events pointed directly to Qin Luo. Ever since Sikong Xiu met him, a series of incomprehensible things had occurred. Freezing nine puppets with a single strike at the Spirit Tribulation Realm, finding a way out within a seemingly inescapable spirit array and seizing the greatest opportunity, and finally, the predicted location of the ruins...
The more Sikong Xiu thought about it, the more fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. In this icy place, she even felt a little hot.
Immediately, Sikong Xiu raised her hand and slapped her face hard, which looked slightly comical due to her astonishment, trying to clear her mind from this chaotic thought as soon as possible.
After taking a deep breath, I forcefully suppressed the jumbled thoughts in my mind.
"Now is not the time to dwell on these things!"
She silently warned herself that although she really couldn't understand how Qin Luo knew the exact time and place of the ruins' emergence, she knew that what was in front of her was an excellent opportunity.
As long as you can enter the ruins faster than others, you are very likely to seize the unknown opportunities inside, which will be enough to make your strength leap forward.
