Ning Cheng raised his hand and tore open the shield on the Nine-Petal Lotus Plateau that was about to break, and a jade slip fell down. Without waiting for Ice Cold to reduce the jade slip into nothingness, Ning Cheng raised his hand and rolled away the jade slip, while collecting the Nine Petal Lotus Plateau which had lost the support of Dao Rhyme.
As his divine sense penetrated into the jade slip, Ning Cheng heard Ruo Shi’s voice, “My name is Ji Ruo Shi, and I also have the name Ji Shi, and I come from the Divine Maiden Saint Sect of the Sacred Dao Realm. The Nine Petal Lotus Plateau is my most treasured possession and has my soul imprint. If Daoist Friend obtains it and is willing to return it to me, my Divine Maiden Saint Clan is willing to give you any resources it wants, and at the same time I, Ji Ruoshi, owe you my life. The Sacred Dao Realm is very far away, so Daoist Friend can return the Nine Petal Lotus Plateau to Dan Saint Ning Cheng of the Tai Su Realm. Ning Cheng is a Dao Yuan Dan Saint, he will definitely send some of the Dao Pills that Dao Friend needs first ……”
Ning Cheng touched his nose, he was far from being a Dao Yuan Dan Saint when he met Ruo Shi, and for Ruo Shi to say that was either to think that he would definitely be able to advance to Dao Yuan Dan Saint or to increase the temptation.
The Nine-Petal Lotus Plateau had been branded with Ruo Xi’s soul, and ordinary people would not be able to refine it even if they got it. Forcing it to be refined would only backfire or destroy the Nine Petal Lotus Plateau outright. It was difficult to destroy a treasure like the Nine Petal Lotus Plateau, and the likelihood of backlash was even greater.
Only the kind of Saint Emperors who were far too powerful than Ruo Shi could refine the soul brand and make the Nine Petal Lotus Plateau their own.
It could be said that Ruo Shi knew that it would be difficult for others to take this Nine Petal Lotus Plateau and use it, which was why she had left behind the jade slip.
When Feng Si-hen’s Mountain River Dou had left just a trace of his divine thought imprint, he was unable to refine it in a short time and ended up asking a strong person of the Harmonious Dao to help him turn it away. The strength of his divine sense was more powerful than that of an ordinary Mixed Origin Saint Emperor.
What Ruo Xi left behind was not a divine thought mark, but a soul brand that was even more difficult to peel off than a divine thought mark. I guess this was also the reason why Ruo Shi had a hint of recovering the Nine-Petal Lotus Plateau.
Ning Cheng sighed, he was relieved that Ruo Shi was not in trouble. Not to mention the rest, in the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond. If it wasn’t Ruo Shi, both he and Yan Ji would be dead. What’s more, Ruo Shi had fallen to this state. He couldn’t say that he had nothing to do with it at all, as the Zi talisman was lent to Ruo Shi by him.
If he hadn’t guessed. It should be the restored Heaven Opening Talisman Zi Fu that had gone wrong. At the beginning, Tian Muwan and the blue-skirted girl had also used the restored Heaven-opening Talisman sub-charm, and as a result, they had likewise failed to return to the place they wanted to go, but had instead strayed to Lok Mu Temple.
This time, Ruoxi was even directly trapped in the extremely cold space outside the Tai Su Realm, so if it was said that there was no problem with that sub talisman, Ning Cheng would definitely not believe it.
Ning Cheng shook his head, took out the nine-petalled lotus platform, wrapped it in layers of forbidden systems and sent it into the Xuanhuang Pearl. He decided that when he went to the Sacred Dao Realm in the future. Make a trip to the Divine Maiden Saint Sect and return Ruo Xi’s Nine Petal Lotus Plateau to her.
How Ruo Shi had gone, Ning Cheng did not care, what he cared about now was why this space was so icy cold. The rules of the Tai Su Realm were already broken, and this icy cold would only make the cracks bigger and bigger. As long as he did not repair the Tai Su Realm, this place would continue to crumble.
Since he had arrived here, he naturally had to go and see what was going on in this icy cold space.
Ning Cheng raised his hand and offered up the Star River Flame as well, attaching it to his wrist once the icy cold became too terrifying. When the Infinite Green Thunder City could not block it, the Star River could continue to resist.
It was also fortunate that it was Ruo Xie, if it wasn’t for Ruo Xie. He hadn’t known that there was such a great hidden danger in this rule-weak part of the Tai Su Realm.
When Ning Cheng thought of Ruo Shi once again, his footsteps suddenly lurched, Ruo Shi was Ji Ruo Shi, she said she was still called Ji Shi.
When he first went to the Eternal Night Domain, didn’t Gongye Zhuo, who possessed the Violet Yin Divine Spring, say that the Violet Yin Divine Spring pearl had been snatched away by Ji Xie?
Thinking about this, Ning Cheng understood completely. It turned out that Ji Xie, who he was looking for, had been with him all along, and at the same time, he knew what Ji Xie had gone to the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond for. It was because her Violet Yin Divine Spring Pearl had been snatched away by the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond that she had gone to snatch it back.
Understanding this, Ning Cheng suddenly looked forward to the fact that Ruo Xie had not snatched back the Violet Yin Divine Spring Pearl. The Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond was certainly detestable. However, this Violet Yin Divine Spring Pearl Ning Cheng knew was for Qiong Hua’s use.
Ning Cheng guessed that Ruoxi should not have snatched back the Violet Yin Divine Spring Pearl, if she had snatched it away. Then Qiong Hua would not have recovered, much less gone to the Taiyi Realm.
Ning Cheng slightly sighed with relief. The entire person had also become a little more refreshed. In any case, the Violet Yin Divine Spring Pearl was Ruo Shi’s, so he would thank her for it when he saw her in the future.
Turning around again, Ning Cheng’s divine sense did not dare to stretch out too far, and only pounced on the direction in which the icy cold seeped out to advance. Half a day later, the Infinite Green Thunder City outside Ning Cheng’s body protection had been frozen into an ice city, and the lightning arcs in the Green Thunder City could only flicker under this freezing.
As Ning Cheng entered deeper and deeper, this freezing was becoming thicker and thicker. The icy cold penetrated in, and with Ning Cheng’s Dao Yuan cultivation strength, he was gradually unable to resist this extreme coldness.
Ning Cheng sighed and directly used the Star River to transform into yet another armour to protect his entire body.
The Star River had already advanced to a Sacred Flame, and after being sacrificed by Ning Cheng, the icy cold was instantly blocked from the outside. The freezing outside the Infinite Green Thunder City also began to melt at this time.
With the coldness blocked, Ning Cheng accelerated his speed.
As a day passed, the icy cold outside the Infinite Blue Thunder City that had been melted by the star river flames once again froze the Blue Thunder City. Not only that, the icy cold once again penetrated into the Infinite Blue Thunder City. A thin layer of ice crystals were also gradually formed on the outside of the Star River Flame, and the coldness that was like a sharp cone finally penetrated through the Star River and tore through Ning Cheng’s clothes and stuck to his body. Ning Cheng shivered, he was sure that if he dared to continue, he would definitely be frozen to death in this place.
Dao Yuan cultivation could not be of any use here.
“Master, passive defence like this is not my forte. Why don’t I just blast out and turn all the icy cold here into flying mist.” The Star River Flame also felt suffocated, this kind of resisting ice and cold was not its forte in the first place. If this went on, it might as well turn into a sea of fire and directly burn this place completely away.
Ning Cheng stopped and transmitted a thought to Star River, “This place is not ordinary icy cold, even if you explode, you definitely won’t be able to destroy the coldness here. The coldness here carries a strong aura of Dao Rhythm rules, one could even say that the icy coldness here is more like a Dao Rhythm divine ability.”
“Then what should we do?” Although the Star River Flame had a fire spirit consciousness, it wasn’t used to coming up with ideas.
“Don’t rush, I’ll try to cultivate and give it a try.” Ning Cheng knew that if he still wanted to move forward, he had to find a way to solve this icy cold. Otherwise, he could only back up and leave this place first.
The reason why he wanted to give it a try was because he had experience with thunder tribulations. When he was crossing the thunder tribulation, he could absorb the thunder source attribute because he had thunder spirit roots.
Similarly he also had ice attribute spirit roots, and at this time he wanted to try to see if he could absorb the ice source here through Xuanhuang Wufang.
As Xuan Huang Wu Xiang began to operate, Ning Cheng soon discovered that he could not absorb the ice source here at all.
Even without advancing, because of staying in place for too long, the extreme ice cold penetrated through the Star River Flame and directly tore through Ning Cheng’s skin.
Ning Cheng drew a cold breath backwards, how powerful did this ice cold have to be? He was a Dao Yuan Saint Emperor, or a strong body refiner with a perfected Astral Body. With the Infinite Green Thunder City and the Astral Flame, he could not even block this extreme ice cold, this ice cold was too terrifying.
As the icy cold continued to tear Ning Cheng’s skin and penetrate into his bones, Ning Cheng retreated while running his Xuanhuang Body Refining Technique.
“Ka ka ka ……” The sound of bones breaking came from the cracked skin and the blood that seeped out from the cracked skin quickly turned into blood ice.
Instead of being shocked, Ning Cheng was delighted, he did not continue to retreat, instead he ran his Body Refining Technique even more frantically in the same spot.
Previously, after his body refinement had reached Starry Sky Body Perfection, he was no longer able to progress. No matter where he went to refine his body, the result was always the same. Now, on the other hand, he found that the icy cold here could allow his Starry Sky Body Perfection fleshly body to progress again.
The Infinite Green Thunder City blocked the first layer of icy cold here, and the Star River Flame blocked the second layer of icy cold. Ning Cheng felt a disconnection in his body refinement, that is, the sharpness he needed for his body refinement was blocked, and the ice cold he used for his body refinement was ice cold without sharpness.
After understanding this, Ning Cheng gritted his teeth and directly put away the Infinite Green Thunder City, while putting away the Star River Flame.
“Clack clack clack ……” After Ning Cheng put away his two defenses, the terrifying coldness was like a sharp axe, directly tearing through Ning Cheng’s skin, then cutting Ning Cheng’s bones with ice clacking and cracking by inches.
A stream of icy cold directly froze Ning Cheng, who did not even have the chance to fall to the ground. In just a matter of breaths, Ning Cheng was transformed into an ice sculpture, and around him was an endless flow of cold ice rule dao rhythms.
If anyone was here, it was certain that they would not be able to feel the aura from Ning Cheng’s body, at this moment, it was as if Ning Cheng had fallen, lifeless.
If the icy cold had not frozen his entire body, perhaps he would have fallen to the ground long ago.
Ning Cheng’s six senses were completely shut off, and at this moment, only the Xuanhuang Body Refining Technique was frantically running through his body, constantly tempering his bones, meridians and flesh.
Time slowly flowed away, and Ning Cheng, who had been frozen in ice, was finally left with only a humanoid outline.
Blood and flesh were frozen into ice, then slowly ground and disappeared under the body refining technique. The bones were frozen and also slowly disappeared as they were ground up under the Body Refining Technique.
It was not known how long it took, but the blood traces that had been frozen into nothingness in Ning Cheng’s body began to grow again, and a meridian began to reorganise. The bones that had been shattered and disappeared also began to coalesce once again, and his own bones became even more crystal clear.
From the outside, the outline of the frozen human form remained the same, while within this freezing, Ning Cheng’s entire body was changing completely.
Blood and flesh were created, meridians and bones were reorganized ……
Unconsciously, Ning Cheng’s physical body strength advanced once more. The ice origin Yuan Qi that he was previously completely unable to absorb for cultivation was also transformed into a dao rhythm of icy cold rules that penetrated into Ning Cheng’s body under the Xuanhuang Invulnerability.
