Chapter 158: Strange Boundary Although everything on this glacier...
Although everything on this glacier is contaminated by the mysterious aura of the Netherworld Cold Flame, after being calcined with the Glazed Pure Fire, clean medicinal liquid can be extracted for alchemy.
That is a treasure that can be used to refine and improve spiritual roots. Who wouldn’t be tempted by it?
Xu Hui really doesn’t need it now, but that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t want to have a share of the treasure!
Think about the price of a Spirit Cleansing Pill, slurp!
After trapping Zhong Lingyue, she tentatively used her spiritual sense to explore her sea of consciousness and found that it was like a stormy sea, with huge waves, howling winds, surging waves, and chaos.
Xu Hui quietly and carefully explored for a long time, and finally found the remaining soul of the monster that was sleeping deep in the sea of consciousness.
It seems that he had helped Xu Hui exert pressure before and stayed outside for too long, causing his residual soul to be much weaker than before.
Xu Hui didn't dare to approach rashly. Seeing that he was really asleep, she immediately retreated and added a layer of magic circle outside the formation to block the detection of spiritual consciousness. Then she looked at the place where Zhong Lingyue had been before.
Still didn't see anything, but that's okay.
She searched in her storage bracelet, took out a medicine bottle, and used her spiritual power to evenly sprinkle the inky powder inside.
But in just a moment, the originally empty area began to flicker with faint light, and the light gradually gathered and increased, like stars in the night sky falling into the mortal world.
In the dim light, some vague outlines slowly emerged. They resembled human figures, but revealed a wildness and ruggedness that did not belong to humans. They were more like the legendary snow apes.
These snow apes are of astonishing size, with three or four meters tall being the norm, and some even approaching six meters. Their limbs are as thick as pillars and full of strength. They are obviously very good at running and climbing on glaciers.
But they seemed to lack any intelligence, charging recklessly based on instinct, wielding their giant palms to chop and slice. If Zhong Lingyue strayed even slightly from their territory, the snow apes would cease pursuit, demonstrating a clear sense of territory.
They move silently but can create wind noises. Zhong Lingyue probably relies on this fact to fight against them so successfully.
But because they were invisible and intangible, Zhong Lingyue's attacks could not reach them at all, and she could only passively counterattack.
Xu Hui thought about it and took out a thunder power bead containing lightning from the storage bracelet. She couldn't remember where it came from, so she automatically ignored these details and controlled her flying skills to fly above the dim lights.
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of thunder, thick lightning shot out from the Thunder Power Pearl, like arrows of heavenly punishment, accurately striking the snow ape below that was flashing with faint light.
The first bolt of lightning struck a huge snow ape in an instant. The dim light flickered under the bombardment of lightning, then gradually dimmed until it disappeared completely, as if it had been purified.
The surrounding dim lights seemed to be frightened and moved away from it.
Xu Hui was delighted, it really worked!
She had previously guessed that lightning could restrain evil creatures. Those snow apes living on the glacier must have been contaminated with the aura of Xuanming. Even if it was invisible and intangible, as long as the aura was there, lightning should be effective.
She guessed right. With the restrained method, Xu Hui did not hold back and more thunder and lightning fell like raindrops.
Each one carried destructive power, stripping the snow apes from the dim light. Their bodies became distorted and blurred under the bombardment of lightning, and eventually turned into nothingness.
They also seemed to feel threatened and ran around violently, trying to avoid the lightning.
But they cannot leave the specific area and can only be slaughtered.
This also allowed Xu Hui to roughly guess the location of the Ice Heart Snow Lotus. These snow apes must be spiritual beasts waiting here, so even if they died, they would not escape directly.
She controlled the lightning bead, moving flexibly in the air to ensure that every bolt of lightning would hit the target.
With the continuous bombardment of thunder and lightning, the number of snow apes that were originally densely packed and flickering with dim light decreased sharply, from the initial large group to only a few scattered ones.
Finally, when the last bolt of lightning struck, all the dim lights disappeared completely, and those snow apes seemed to have never existed. Xu Hui never saw their appearance clearly from beginning to end.
After retrieving the Thunder Power Pearl, she came to the place where the snow apes gathered, and explored it bit by bit. Finally, she found something unusual under a glacier.
He took out the Wanxiang Sword and imitated the method in his dream. He swung the Wanxiang Sword suddenly. Wherever the tip of the sword pointed, the space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force. A cylindrical hole slowly took shape, and the wall of the hole was as smooth as a mirror.
Xu Hui flashed and explored rapidly downwards along the cylindrical cave. After an unknown amount of time, she came to an irregular cavity.
This place seems to be a forgotten underground world, with winding tunnels leading to all directions.
On the cave wall, ice crystals condensed into the shapes of various exotic flowers and plants, emitting a dim light. Each flower looked like a masterpiece of God, both real and illusory.
Above the head is a galaxy formed by countless tiny ice particles. They flow slowly in the cave, like a microcosm of the universe, which makes people feel awe.
Some passages end at sparkling ice crystal waterfalls, with water flowing through the ice crystals, making pleasant tinkling sounds; others are ice crystal forests, where the trees, although frozen, still maintain a vibrant posture, as if they will break out of the ground at any time to welcome the sunshine.
Xu Hui searched around but didn't see the so-called Ice Heart Snow Lotus.
According to the description, the Ice Heart Snow Lotus is as white as snow, with only the buds having a faint pink color. The flowers are small like jasmine, and the leaves are dense and unique, and are transparent crystals of different colors, with a flowing spiritual liquid inside.
These spiritual liquids have different effects depending on their colors, but without exception they are all highly toxic or extremely corrosive liquids with great lethality.
If someone covets the flower, the leaves will burst open and use the spiritual fluid inside to kill people.
But Xu Hui looked around and didn't see any flowers similar to the one described by Bing Xin Snow Lotus.
After thinking for a while, she looked again at the exotic flowers and plants condensed on the cave wall. Some of them were familiar, but most of them were completely unrecognizable.
She took out a magic sword, cut off these exotic flowers and plants, and then broke them one by one, and found that they were all ice cubes, not frozen objects.
It seems that she was overthinking it. These ice sculptures have no practical meaning.
She walked towards the end of the passage again, and the first place she arrived at was the frozen ice crystal forest. She took out the Universal Sword and manipulated it to remove the ice on the surface of a small tree. Suddenly, a dark and ominous aura was released.
She stepped back repeatedly, adding several more layers of protection to herself before looking back at the tree.
It was motionless at first, but slowly, the branches began to twist. After breaking free from the icy bondage, it immediately attacked Xu Hui, as if it was half controlled by something.
Xu Hui felt a strong breath of the underworld and was startled. He quickly pulled away and shot out the Wanxiang Sword, instantly destroying the small tree before it could get close.
It's just that it's gone, but that dark aura is still there, and it's a hundred times stronger than before!
It seems that these frozen plants cannot be moved. They have been frozen in this environment for who knows how many years and have long been completely transformed by the mysterious aura.
Xu Hui felt quite regretful. These plants were all from ancient times, and many of them were no longer available today. If they could be taken out, they might be of great use.
She did have a gold box that could seal energy, but the quantity was limited and it couldn't hold so much.
The entire secret realm is full of precious, practical resources without side effects, so there is no need to compete with these plants.
She just wanted to find the Ice Heart Snow Lotus. She didn't know if it existed elsewhere in the secret realm, but since it was here, she couldn't miss it!
In terms of preciousness and practicality, the Ice Heart Snow Lotus is definitely one of the top spiritual plants.
Xu Hui walked back and forth in this ice crystal forest for three or four hours, looking at almost every plant. He found a few extremely rare ones, and put them directly into the Yu Jin box along with the sealed ice.
But there was no trace of the Ice Heart Snow Lotus. Could it be that Zhong Lingyue lied to her and there was no Ice Heart Snow Lotus at all?
Xu Hui frowned and thought as she walked towards the ice crystal waterfall. When she heard the sound of water, she suddenly thought of the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain and couldn't help but smile.
What was she thinking? Not every waterfall has a water curtain cave.
But this is probably a common problem for children of her generation who grew up watching "Journey to the West". When they see any waterfall, they can't help but wonder what is behind the waterfall?
But in fact, there is nothing behind the waterfall!
She laughed at her own childish thoughts, but when her consciousness inadvertently passed over the cave wall behind the waterfall, she suddenly stopped and widened her eyes in disbelief. No, it really was there!
Of course it couldn't be the Water Curtain Cave, but a crack was faintly visible on the cave wall behind the waterfall, and a faint aura of barrier leaked out from it.
The existence of a barrier means that there is a space inside, which is no different from the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain.
At this moment, she was in an extremely delicate mood, and her surprise was like the surface of a lake broken by a stone, rippling across it.
She couldn't help but deeply admire the wisdom of her ancestors. Such a coincidence could happen across two time and space.
She couldn't help but chuckle, then she collected her thoughts and used the Wanxiang Sword in her hand. With a flash of sword light, the crack was directly expanded, forming a hole that was large enough for people to pass through normally.
Her figure flashed, and she flew lightly behind the waterfall like a swallow flying through a curtain.
What came into view was a barrier emitting a light golden glow. The light was soft and warm, like the first light of dawn, warming people's hearts.
Delicate runes flow on the surface of the barrier, slowly rotating according to specific patterns, exuding an unprecedented powerful aura.
This barrier is out of tune with the entire glacier, as if a ray of sunlight is shining through the dark underground, or a meteor is sliding across the long night, appearing so abrupt yet heartwarming.
This made Xu Hui, who had stayed in the glacier illusion for a long time, feel happy automatically. Her mood suddenly became cheerful. She even felt that even if she didn't get the Ice Heart Snow Lotus, seeing it was enough to make her happy and satisfied.
...Wait, who wants to be satisfied?
She came to pick Ice Heart Snow Lotus!
Xu Hui suddenly realized that her emotions were extremely abnormal. She held her breath and concentrated, practicing the "Soul Sutra" before she calmed down.
Looking at the barrier again at this time...well, that irrepressible joy surged in my heart again.
This barrier is poisonous!
