The Nine Plains Ice Cave does not appear to be a plain, but a huge, sloping mountain. From a distance, this huge mountain looks like a terraced field stretching out in front of it.
On the sloping, boundless slope of the mountain, there were countless cave openings, and even though Ning Cheng was far away, he could feel the eerie icy aura emanating from these cave openings. It looked like these cave entrances should be the entrances to the ice caves on the Nine Plains.
Various figures kept entering and leaving from these cave entrances. Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept over, only to find that with such a strong divine sense, he could only sweep into the ordinary cave entrances several thousand meters deep, and when he went in further, it was as if he had met an invisible ice cold, and his divine sense was blocked. There were also some caves where his divine sense could not even extend a thousand metres.
Ning Cheng finally understood why this place was rumoured to have the Heart of True Yang, but as a result, after several months, no one had found it.
Either someone had found the Heart of True Yang, then it was because there were too many ice cave entrances here to go looking for the Heart of True Yang. If these caves were to go in one by one to investigate, even if there were tens of thousands of people, I’m afraid it wouldn’t take hundreds of years to completely find them all. This is not counting the bifurcated entrances inside the ice caves, and counting the bifurcated entrances, the search time would be even more immeasurable.
A Dao Yuan Saint Emperor burst out of one of the ice cave openings, and instead of continuing to search for other openings, he left the Nine Plains Ice Cave with a flash of his body.
Ning Cheng knew that this man had not left because he had found the Heart of True Yang, but that he had lost confidence in finding it as well. With so many ice cave entrances here, it was not easy to find the entrance where the Heart of True Yang was located.
Like this Dao Yuan Saint Emperor, it was not one person but many who gave up looking for the Heart of True Yang after coming out of the ice cave and left immediately. But there were likewise many others who, like Ning Cheng, had come from afar to join the search.
Ning Cheng landed in front of an ice cave entrance and did not go in. If he took his chances and went in one by one to find it like this, how long would it take to find it? Not to mention that I’m afraid the chances of him finding it are not even one in a million.
“I don’t know what kind of flames you have brought with you, fellow daoist, I have a top grade flame and it is partial to Yin attribute, if fellow daoist is willing, we can take out flames to join forces with each other.” Just as Ning Cheng was still hesitating, a Dao Transformation Saint Emperor landed in front of Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng’s heart faintly froze. What did searching for the Heart of True Yang have to do with flames? This guy had obviously seen that he was new.
“I have a divine grade flame.” Ning Cheng replied. In his heart, however, he was thinking, could the flame sense the Heart of True Yang?
Hearing that Ning Cheng had a divine grade flame, this Dao Transformation Saint Emperor was even more enthusiastic, “Fellow Daoist, I have also just arrived here not long ago, and my flame’s sense of the Heart of True Yang is always if anything, unable to determine the exact location. If you are willing to join hands with me, in case we obtain the Heart of True Yang, we will split it into two halves. How about half for each of us?”
It wasn’t strange for the Heart of True Yang to be split into two halves. Some weaker divine level flames, as long as they reached the peak of the divine level. With half of the True Yang Heart, there is also a chance to advance to a Saint Flame or a Quasi-Saint Flame. It’s just that a quasi-saint flame that uses half of the True Yang Heart to advance is a few steps weaker in grade. Even if it is weaker, it is not comparable to a God-rank flame.
“Can you really feel the Heart of True Yang with a flame?” Ning Cheng asked this time.
That Dao Transformation Saint Emperor did not find Ning Cheng’s question strange, he assumed that Ning Cheng also knew about this matter and said in an affirmative tone, “It is indeed true, this claim was proven to be true back in the Flaming Sun Forest. Of course, this was mainly executed on the choice of the True Yang Heart. A supreme treasure like the Heart of True Yang would actively choose flames. Only if it felt worthy of its flame would the True Yang Heart leak its breath.
Although it is said that the higher the grade of the flame, the more likely it is that the Heart of True Yang will leak its breath. But some rare flames, even if they are not insignificant, will still get the True Yang’s Heart’s favor. The True Yang Heart of the Flaming Sun Forest at the beginning. It was to a low grade flame, Snow Essence Fire, that it leaked its breath.”
Only then did Ning Cheng drift over, he thought that these people were running around like headless flies. It turned out that these guys all had flames and went looking for the True Yang Heart based on the slight traces felt by the flames. It was also unknown who had leaked this method, but it should have something to do with the guy who had the Snow Essence Flame.
Thinking of this. Ning Cheng cupped his fist to this Dao Transformation Saint Emperor and said, “Many thanks to this fellow Daoist, I still intend to look for it alone.”
Hearing that Ning Cheng did not intend to cooperate, this Dao Transformation Saint Emperor showed disappointment on his face and quickly bid farewell to Ning Cheng to look for a new partner.
Ning Cheng was sure that this guy had been here for a long time, his flames were definitely unable to attract the True Yang Heart to leak its breath, otherwise would he still come to cooperate with others?
Ning Cheng sacrificed both the Star River Flame and the Nameless Flame at his wrist and began the constant movement outside the Nine Plains Ice Cave.
To Ning Cheng’s disappointment, a whole day passed without Ning Cheng finding a single trace or sensing half of the True Yang’s Heart.
In the end, Ning Cheng could only choose an ice cave entrance where his divine sense could only penetrate to about a hundred meters and drill in.
As soon as he entered the ice cave, Ning Cheng’s body was surrounded by a burst of icy cold, and if he didn’t have his domain to protect him, I’m afraid his clothes would have been turned into nothingness.
This place might be more suitable for body refinement, Ning Cheng thought secretly as he sacrificed the Infinite Green Thunder City and carefully went deeper.
The ice cave was crystal clear, and the icy coldness hit the Infinite Green Thunder City with a snapping cracking sound.
There were all kinds of ice lingering around Ning Cheng, looking as if it were a fairy tale world hanging upside down. The further Ning Cheng went inside, the more spacious he felt, and then ice creams, ice lakes, and ice mountains all appeared on either side.
An hour later, Ning Cheng felt increasingly cold and he did not intend to go in. In addition to perseverance, one had to have the chance to obtain the treasure. If there was no chance, I’m afraid that even perseverance would be in vain.
Just at this time, Ning Cheng heard a dull simple-minded sound. Someone was digging into the ice cave stone wall? Ning Cheng was about to move over when there was a sound of broken ice falling on the ground, followed by a figure in blue robes appearing in front of Ning Cheng.
This person did not seem to expect to meet someone in here, he looked at Ning Cheng suspiciously and did not say anything, but turned his head and continued deeper into this ice cave of Ning Cheng’s.
Ning Cheng also did not want to talk to this person, he was about to turn around and go out when suddenly the nameless flame at his wrist pulsed slightly, seemingly sensing something and sending out some messy pulsating messages.
Ning Cheng immediately became excited in his heart, could it be that the nameless flame had sensed the aura of the True Yang Heart and that’s why this was pulsating?
The divine thought communicated to the nameless flame, but the nameless flame’s was refined by Ning Cheng later, and no upgrades had been done to it, and communication with the nameless flame was far inferior to the Star River flame.
In any case, there must be something wrong with the nameless flame now that it is pulsating. Maybe it wasn’t the Nameless Flame’s problem, but that blue-robed cultivator who had just caused it. The flame on that blue-robed cultivator could feel the True Yang Heart, so even he felt it too. Otherwise, how else had he not felt it before this blue-robed cultivator came?
Perhaps the thought of finding the Heart of True Yang had excited Ning Cheng, who no longer had the thought of turning back and also followed the blue-robed cultivator to continue deeper.
Half a column of incense later, this blue-robed cultivator stopped and looked coldly at Ning Cheng, “What do you mean, fellow Daoist? Why are you following behind me?”
This blue-robed cultivator was at the late stage of Dao Transformation and Ning Cheng was at the early stage of Dao Transformation, and he spoke to Ning Cheng with a hint of oppression in his tone, as if he would not blame him for being ungracious if Ning Cheng was no longer sensible.
Ning Cheng frowned slightly and said in an equally unpleasant tone, “Dao friend asked me what I meant, and I would like to ask dao friend what you meant. Daoist friend, if you are being reasonable, I should have been the one to come to this ice cave first, right? You punched a hole in from somewhere else and I didn’t say much, but you resent that I shouldn’t have gone here? There is no such thing under heaven.”
After hearing Ning Cheng’s words, the blue-robed cultivator seemed to feel that he was a bit rude as well, so he simply stopped and said, “In that case, then Daoist friend should go ahead, I will wait until Daoist friend is far away before moving.”
The Infinite Green Thunder City above Ning Cheng’s head was somewhat strong, and even though he was at the late stage of Dao Transformation, he did not dare to make a move against Ning Cheng for a while.
Even though Ning Cheng suspected that his nameless flames were throbbing because of the blue-robed cultivator, now that the blue-robed cultivator had told him to leave first, he was too embarrassed to stay here and pull his weight. It was clear that the person did not want to be with him.
Ning Cheng had to speed up his steps and move forward quickly, and the blue-robed cultivator really did not move as he had said. When Ning Cheng advanced for another incense stick, he could still feel that throbbing from the nameless flame, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed. It looked like he was not because he was tainted by the blue-robed cultivator, but because the nameless flame was indeed pulsating.
There were more and more bifurcations in the depths of the cave, and Ning Cheng advanced each time according to the direction chosen by the nameless flame jumping. Another two hours passed and Ning Cheng did not continue on, he stopped in front of an ice wall. The nameless flame jumped and pointed somewhere else, it looked like he was going to be just like that blue-robed cultivator, preparing to hit the cave.
Before Ning Cheng could move, he saw the blue-robed cultivator appear behind him once again.
Ning Cheng’s face sank, “Fellow Daoist, there are so many diversions in this ice cave, why must you follow me?”
The blue-robed cultivator’s face faintly stiffened, but he was secretly shocked in his heart as to why this person could also find the right direction.
Just as this blue robed cultivator was about to open his mouth, Ning Cheng suddenly stopped in front of him and said, “No need to say anything, I count you as cruel, I will immediately dig this place up and leave alone, I just hope you won’t follow me anymore, otherwise I will take this as a provocation from you.”
The blue-robed cultivator’s open mouth closed helplessly, Ning Cheng had just said what he had to say. When he heard Ning Cheng’s rebuke just now, he was ready to say that he would leave by making a hole here. Unexpectedly, someone else had said it before him. From this, it could be seen that the Dao Transformation Saint Emperor in front of him, who possessed the Infinite Blue Thunder City, could also feel the flames brought about by the True Yang Heart throbbing just like him.
