Xiao Yuyao's voice echoed in his mind as he flew in the air, and a bitter smile appeared in the corner of his mouth. Back in the village, he was still a child. After walking the path of cultivation, he had no choice but to change. Cultivating immortality was too dangerous. One wrong step could cause one's soul to dissipate. If he wanted to survive, he had to learn to think and analyze things.
Han Yan's figure flashed and he arrived at the center of the continent where there was a small deep pool.
With a single glance, Zhang Xuan saw white fog rising from the surface of the water. A gentle breeze blew against the white fog, causing it to flutter about.
This white mist was neither mist nor dense spiritual energy. Instead, it was an extremely rare type of cold energy. Only when the temperature reached a certain degree would such a cold Qi appear. The cold Qi seemed to be the same as the dense spirit energy, but it was a deadly weapon that could kill people without killing them. Although it was not as strong as the poison released by black snake, it was not much weaker.
To put it simply, cultivators below the Earthly Spirit Stage would instantly turn into ice sculptures the moment they came in contact with the cold energy. Although Earthly Spirit Stage and above were not frozen by the cold energy, they had to continuously circulate their spirit energy in order to resist the cold energy's erosion. If the spiritual energy was exhausted, the cold energy would enter the cultivator's body and kill him.
Moreover, this was a deep pool. The water was incomparably cold, and the further down they went, the colder the temperature became.
The surface temperature of the pool could raise cold air. One could imagine how high the temperature of the pool would reach.
Han Yan took a look and could not help but inhale a breath of cold air. Before he even entered, he could already feel the aura of death approaching him. If one were to enter, even if one had just entered the water, it was still possible to be killed. In order to determine how cold the pool water was, Han Yan used his mind to go inside.
However, the moment he entered, his body trembled and his eyes were filled with surprise.
Not only was the water cold, it also contained a strange power. As soon as his consciousness entered the water, it disappeared.
Since he was unable to determine the temperature of the pond, he naturally did not know how deep the pond was. In order to refine treasures inside the pond, Han Yan only had one solution, and that was to enter the pond. His body flickered as he flew straight into the polar ice pond. With a normal sound, he fell into the water, causing splashes of water five feet tall.
The water was so cold, it was hard to imagine. As soon as Han Yan landed, he felt a layer of frost on the surface of his body, causing his blood to stop circulating and his body to gradually stiffen. Han Yan bellowed as he quickly circulated the spirit energy. A wave of heat reverberated within his body and quickly expelled the cold Qi. Once his body regained its mobility, Han Yan's legs moved like a fish and swam towards the bottom of the pool.
The deeper one went, the colder the temperature was. Han Yan simply calculated, the temperature of the surface of the pool would probably be around -100 degrees Celsius. Every three meters, it would increase by one level. Simply put, if the deep pool was 9000 feet deep, then the temperature of the pool would reach -1000 degrees Celsius. Such a cold temperature, just thinking about it, Han Yan felt that it was a little scary.
However, in order to refine treasures, Han Yan had no choice but to increase his swimming speed and continue his journey deeper.
As a result, after three hundred feet, the rate at which he consumed his spiritual power increased significantly. At this rate, it would only take two hours before the spiritual force within his body was exhausted. Han Yan patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a bunch of Star Tear, and swallowed them.
Two hours later, Han Yan stopped at a depth of sixty meters.
This depth wasn't Han Yan's limit. Rather, the deeper he went, the colder the temperature was and the faster he used up spirit energy. Han Yan slapped the storage bag on his waist and took out countless of array stone. There was even an array flag on it, quickly setting up an array formation, isolating the ocean water outside.
After all of this, just as Han Yan was about to enter the array, a ray of light suddenly flashed past his eyes, and he immediately looked around.
After looking for a long time, he still could not find anything. Han Yan did not give up, and he was certain that there was something reflecting from that ray of light. The bottom of the pool was unable to release spirit sense, so Han Yan could only use his naked eye to search for it. Wanting to find something at the bottom of the pool, the difficulty could be imagined.
It was unknown if it was due to hard work or some mysterious arrangement that Han Yan finally found that thing in a patch of sea grass. Everything was very concealed, and one could only see the reflection of light in a certain area. The aquatic plants at the bottom of the pool were extremely dense, and they constantly drifted about, reflecting a ray of light.
Seeing that thing within a hundred and fifty meters, which was to say a mountain wall eighty meters away from the surface of the pond, Han Yan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still swam towards the bottom of the pond. The pool water was over a hundred and fifty meters deep, the temperature dropped sharply, and it instantly increased by several times. After flying for a short while, Han Yan felt his primordial spirit trembling, as though it could collapse at any time.
Han Yan was extremely shocked. He was a cultivator of the Earthly Spirit Stage after all, and only by going past -1000 degrees Celsius could he be sealed in ice, and had just gone 150 meters deep, yet such a situation had occurred. If this were to continue, how cold would it be? 3000 degrees, 5000 degrees, 10,000 degrees?
Han Yan laughed bitterly in his heart. No wonder Gu Yue said that this place had a slim chance of survival, forget about five thousand degrees, even if the sky light stage cultivator was hit with three thousand degrees Celsius, without a super powerful ability or a super protective treasure, they would still be frozen to death. Although Han Yan hadn't frozen to death yet, he was still enduring it with great difficulty. The spirit energy in his body was being consumed at an alarming rate, and every breath he took, he had to dissipate ten percent of his spirit energy. If he had not consumed a large amount of Star Tear s and recovered his spirit energy in an instant, he would have been frozen to death due to the lack of spirit energy.
Han Yan continued to fly forward, and when he swam to the grass patch, the rate at which he consumed the spirit energy in his body had increased from ten percent in one breath to thirty percent in one breath. In this kind of situation, Han Yan completely did not expect that the bottom of the lagoon would be so vile, and that it would be even worse than what he imagined. But to find out what was glowing in such a cold place, Han Yan had to persevere on.
Very quickly, Han Yan arrived at the underbrush. Facing the seaweed, he released a gale technique.
The extremely powerful gale technique on land could only create a palm-sized whirlpool. Although the spiral nest was a little small, it was enough to roll up the weeds. When the wild grass was blown away, the dazzling white light was reflected in Han Yan's eyes. Han Yan subconsciously closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, Han Yan could clearly see that the white light was a palm-sized block of ice.
No, that was not ice in the traditional sense. It was ice like stone.
Han Yan had heard of this stone before. It was called an ice crystal that could only be formed in ten thousand years of ice. Furthermore, its temperature had to be below -1,000 degrees celsius. And here, it just so happened to meet the standard, so the appearance of ice crystals was also within reason. When Han Yan came down from the stage, he had already guessed that it might be such a treasure, but he hadn't thought that it would be true.
Han Yan was overjoyed. He took out a wood box from the storage bag and placed the ice crystal inside. Then, he stood up and flew to the surface of the water.
Ice crystals were also known as ice rocks. On the surface, they appeared transparent like ice, but they were actually so hard that it was hard to imagine. One of the hardest Refining materials in the periphery of the Star Region, the Nine Heavens Divine black iron, was like stone or tofu when compared to ice crystals. Of course, the Nine Heavens black iron was the tofu.
Han Yan quickly swam in the water and in the blink of an eye, he was already inside the formation.2
This feeling was like a cold winter suddenly turning into a hot summer.
Although this analogy was somewhat exaggerated, it was actually Han Yan's most genuine feeling. The formation was indeed warm, but from a thousand degrees Celsius, it suddenly returned to a hundred and fifty degrees Celsius. The only difference was the temperature. Even though there was a formation here, it was actually unable to cut off the cold energy from seeping in. The temperature here was still -150 degrees Celsius.
How could Han Yan have the mood to care about the current temperature? He patted the storage bag on his waist and took out the broken Deicide Sword. This time, what he wanted to refine was exactly the Deicide Sword, and he wanted to recreate the Deicide Sword. Ever since he left the Heavenly God Star, Han Yan had wanted to refine a new set of Deicide Sword s, but he hadn't had the time to do so. Now, he had no choice but to refine them, because there was still a fierce battle ahead.
Now that he had obtained the ice crystal by chance, Han Yan really wanted to reforge the Deicide Sword into a satisfactory magic treasure. He took out all the Refining materials he had collected over the years and poured them all on the ground. Golden rock, Heaven Fire Jade, Rainbow Stone, Ten Thousand Year Freezing Soul, Thunder Stone, etc.
Finally, Han Yan chose the hardest type and threw it into the Dragon Subduing Cauldron. After that, he spat out a mouthful of Primordial Spirit Fire and started refining.
Dragon Subduing Cauldron was able to refine all things, and naturally, it was able to refine ores as well.
The ore was much harder than medicinal herbs and required much longer refining time. At this rate, it would take at least a month. After the ore had melted, they still needed to reforge the Deicide Sword, and then reconstruct it. They would need to set up a formation and carve out the lines, and if all of these combined together, it would take at least half a year before they could successfully refine the Deicide Sword.
Han Yan was not lacking in time right now, and was not afraid of the other party attacking him. Even if those people had the courage to enter, he would have found out right away. Han Yan did not believe that, he had a large number of Star Tear, and he possessed the primordial number one defensive magical equipment, he could not go any deeper than them.
Just as Han Yan had guessed, on the third day after Gu Yue's fleshly body was killed, Gu Yue brought over ten people into the planet.
The group didn't barge into the planet, but through a broken part of the formation. After entering the planet, everyone took out their magic treasures and looked around vigilantly. When they saw that there weren't any ambushes in the area, they all had confused looks on their faces. One of them looked at Gu Yue and asked, "Gu Yue, what is this kid trying to do? Is he stupid, or is there something wrong with his head?" They actually left a gap for us to attack? "
Gu Yue coldly snorted. "I believe he left an opening in the array so that we would be worried about an ambush. He didn't dare to come in easily, but he didn't expect that I would bring so many of his brothers with me." As he said that, he used his Spiritual Sense to cover the entire continent, but he could not find any trace of Han Yan. He asked in puzzlement: "Strange, where did this brat run off to?"
Mi Ge's brows twitched, and said: "He won't run away right?"
Gu Yue shook her head and said with certainty, "After I escaped from here, I intentionally set up a spell in the Star Domain. If he leaves, I will definitely discover him." He paused, guessing, "Maybe he knew we had so many people, so he hid himself. The planet is only so big, so even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I have to find it. "
Everyone quickly searched for it, but they were able to find every corner, even the center of the earth. They couldn't find Han Yan, nor were they able to find any clues. Some of the cultivators thought that it was highly possible that Han Yan had escaped, so they left in quick succession. The remaining five cultivators followed Gu Yue and arrived in front of the polar ice pond.
Looking at the deep pool in front of her, Gu Yue was enlightened. "I didn't expect you to hide here. You're courting death."
Mi Ge coldly snorted, and said: "Brother Gu Yue, should we brothers go down and kill him?"
"There's no need. He'll be out at most a thousand feet deep." Gu Yue waved her hand and sneered. "At that time, it won't be too late for us to take action."
