After Lu Xuan finished, the two of them remained silent for a moment.
"It is said that when the Mystic Ice Hidden Domain was stable, there were even stronger Mystic Ice Demons. Origin Realm existences were common, but now they have all disappeared. Their corpses are probably in the deepest part of this ice cave, which is what we guessed … … a primordial stone mine!" Lu Xuan spoke slowly.
Chen Xiaohan nodded her head lightly. No wonder there were so many supreme grade primordial stones in the Mystic Ice Hidden Domain. These supreme grade primordial stones were probably formed from the corpses of those powerful Mystic Ice Demons.
"Lu Xuan, I feel that this Mystic Ice Hidden Domain is heavily man-made. Especially the existence of the Mystic Ice Demons, it is even more unbelievable. They rely on absorbing ice elemental force to cultivate. But after their death, their bodies disintegrate and turn back into ice elemental force to return to the Mystic Ice Hidden Domain. Those powerful Mystic Ice Demons even turn into primordial stones to replenish the elemental force in the Mystic Ice Hidden Domain."
"This way, although there is a consumption of elemental force, it is a huge cycle to ensure that the Mystic Ice Hidden Domain can exist for a longer period of time. If it isn't intentional, it is really hard to understand." Chen Xiaohan pondered as she voiced out her thoughts.
Lu Xuan also thought of this point. But what puzzled him was, if it was to ensure that the Mystic Ice Hidden Domain could exist for a longer period of time, then without the Mystic Ice Demons, wouldn't there be no consumption of elemental force?
"Let's not think too much. Let's continue deeper. If we can reach the deepest part, we might be able to find out the truth." Lu Xuan kept the corpse of the Mystic Ice Demon into his storage ring and said. These were all primordial stones, it would be a waste not to take them.
The two of them didn't delay any further and continued their journey. Although they encountered a sixth level Mystic Ice Demon, it seemed like they were still quite a distance away from the deepest part of the ice cave. They didn't know if there were any stronger existences, which made Lu Xuan feel slightly uneasy.
Their footsteps constantly echoed in the ice cave. It seemed a little empty. Fortunately, with the sunlight stones, there wasn't much fear.
"The concentration of elemental energy here is almost ten times that of the outside world." Lu Xuan thought to himself. He became even more vigilant. Although the Profound Ice Pavilion only allowed disciples in the Sixth Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm to enter for the sake of the stability of the Profound Ice Secret Realm, there was no rule that the strongest Profound Ice Demon in the Profound Ice Secret Realm was only in the Sixth Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm. If there was someone in the Seventh Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm, Lu Xuan would not be surprised at all. Of course, he did not want this to happen.
Soon, a few more Mystic Ice Demons appeared in front of Lu Xuan. They were also at the sixth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm and a few at the fifth tier.
Lu Xuan already had quite a bit of understanding towards the sixth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm Black Ice Demon. He didn't waste any time and rushed forward with his sword in hand, unleashing his full strength!
Using the Wind Riding Technique, Lu Xuan first killed the fifth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm Black Ice Demons that were in his way. Finally, he used his full strength to deal with the last sixth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm Black Ice Demon.
This Black Ice Demon was obviously stronger than the previous one. Other than its arms being very strong, even its head had started to condense. Lu Xuan found an opportunity to attack the vital part of the Black Ice Demon. However, he could only injure it and was unable to completely destroy its intelligence.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan was not someone to be trifled with. When he found the second opportunity, he completely condensed the sword intent of the Advanced Stage. Together with the power of the Dragon Sword Technique, he successfully pierced through its head and instantly destroyed its intelligence, killing another sixth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm Black Ice Demon.
"These Black Ice Demons are getting stronger and stronger. In the end, I'm afraid I will have to use that sword." Looking at the corpse of the Black Ice Demon on the ground, Lu Xuan said in a low voice.
"Do your best. Don't take the risk. We have already gained a lot. If we really can't reach the deepest part, then we can only blame ourselves for not being strong enough." Chen Xiaohan advised. She knew that Lu Xuan was very stubborn.
Looking at the sleeping Xia Chenxi in Chen Xiaohan's arms, Lu Xuan sighed, "If I can find the medicine to cure Chenxi, I will naturally stop. Unfortunately, other than some peak grade Primal Stones, there are no other gains."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Lu Xuan, Chen Xiaohan had no other choice but to follow Lu Xuan. She kept praying in her heart, hoping that there wouldn't be too strong of a Black Ice Demon.
In this ice cave, there were quite a number of sixth-layer Spirit Refinement Realm Black Ice Demons. Originally, Lu Xuan thought that there would be at most two or three, but along the way, he had already killed five. Especially the last one, which was extremely close to the seventh-layer Spirit Refinement Realm. Its limbs and head were all extremely condensed, and normal attacks couldn't break through it.
Lu Xuan was forced to utilize the unity of heaven and man before he was able to slash through his head with a single strike. His strength was so strong that he wasn't the slightest bit inferior to Xiao Zhaohong, Han Feng, and the others. Moreover, because his body was extremely tough, he was even more difficult to deal with than them.
"Lu Xuan, are you feeling alright?" Chen Xiaohan asked hurriedly when she saw Lu Xuan unleash that extremely powerful sword attack again.
Lu Xuan nodded lightly, "I'm fine. With my current strength, I can barely use One with the World twice. The consumption isn't as big as the first time. However, to be safe, let's recover first. The Black Ice Demon from before is already extremely strong. If I'm not wrong, the next one we will meet is most likely a seventh-layer Spirit Refinement Realm Black Ice Demon!"
Seventh-Layer Spirit Refinement Realm? Chen Xiaohan was shocked. If a sixth-layer Spirit Refinement Realm was already this strong, how strong would a seventh-layer Spirit Refinement Realm be?
"Why don't … we retreat? Luo Ning is right. Where there's life, there's hope. Right now, we have almost a hundred top grade Primal Stones in our hands. We might be able to exchange them for enough elixirs to wake Chen Xi up."
Looking ahead, Lu Xuan said firmly, "No matter what, we have to go and take a look. If worst comes to worst, I'll use the Nether Blood Curse again!"
This time, Chen Xiaohan really panicked, "Do you not want your life anymore? The Nether Blood Curse is a forbidden technique. You've already used it once, it has already left hidden injuries in your body. If you use it again, it will cause great damage to your body! "
Lu Xuan shook his head, "Since I've already used it once, if I can use it again and help Chenxi find the medicine, it'll be worth it."
"No! I won't allow you to use it! " Chen Xiaohan stood in front of Lu Xuan resolutely, "Of course saving Chenxi is important, but have you ever thought about others? Even if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for Xinyi, for uncle and sister, for … me, right?"
After a pause, Chen Xiaohan continued, "Moreover, even if Chenxi knows, she definitely won't let you do it. Right now, the only one who can save Chenxi is you. Why do you have to bet everything on this?"
Lu Xuan was silent. He was indeed a little too selfish. There were still many people who loved him in this world.
"Alright, I promise you, I won't use the Nether Blood Curse. However, I still want to go and take a look. I've already come this far, if I don't go and take a look, I really won't be satisfied." Lu Xuan finally compromised.
Chen Xiaohan also knew that Lu Xuan wouldn't give up so easily. After all, the depths of the ice cave represented a huge amount of wealth. As long as Lu Xuan didn't have to go to the depths, there was no harm in going and taking a look.
After recovering on the spot for a period of time, Lu Xuan's condition quickly rose to its peak. The concentration of the origin energy here was already ten times that of the outside world, so his recovery was very fast.
As they walked forward, an even larger Mystical Ice Demon instantly entered their eyes.
Unlike before, the Mystical Ice Demons that Lu Xuan encountered were all in groups of three to five. This time, there was only one, but the aura of this Mystical Ice Demon was definitely stronger than all the Mystical Ice Demons that Lu Xuan had encountered before!
Seventh Level of Spirit Refinement!
Lu Xuan instantly confirmed this fellow's strength. If it wasn't an existence at the seventh level of the Spirit Refinement realm, its aura definitely wouldn't be so strong. The Mystical Ice Demon that was overseeing this place was indeed an existence at the seventh level of the Spirit Refinement realm!
When Lu Xuan saw this Mystical Ice Demon, it naturally also saw Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan only felt his vision blur, and the Mystical Ice Demon instantly disappeared. In its place was a human dressed like a warrior. Without a doubt, this was the Mystical Ice Demon from before.
"Finally, someone else has come." Under Lu Xuan's astonished gaze, the Mystical Ice Demon that had transformed into a human warrior actually spoke. Although the Mystical Ice Demons at the sixth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm that Lu Xuan had met before could also speak some simple words, their pronunciation was not as accurate and smooth as this guy's.
"What do you mean?" Lu Xuan subconsciously asked. From its words, it seemed that someone had come here before, and not just once.
Hearing this, the Mystical Ice Demon pointed to a door behind it and said, "It's your fate to be able to come here. Defeat me, and you can enter. If you can't, you can only die."
Only then did Lu Xuan notice that there was an inconspicuous stone door not far behind the Mystical Ice Demon. If it hadn't pointed it out, Lu Xuan probably wouldn't have noticed it immediately.
A Mystical Ice Demon that could speak, a mysterious door, and the Mystical Ice Secret Realm that was full of secrets made Lu Xuan feel that all of this was not ordinary.
"Can you tell me what this place is?" Lu Xuan asked again.
However, the Mystical Ice Demon only shook its head, "You don't need to know now. If you can defeat me, you will naturally know. If you can't defeat me, then only death awaits you. It's useless even if you know."
"Lu Xuan, what should we do?" Chen Xiaohan whispered in Lu Xuan's ear. She also didn't expect this to happen.
Lu Xuan shook his head gently, "Step back, leave everything to me."
"Then be careful." Chen Xiaohan said worriedly. It was hard to get off now. The Mystical Ice Demon had already clearly said that if they couldn't defeat it, then they would have to die. Thinking about it, it must be to protect the secret of this place. Many people had entered the Mystical Ice Secret Realm, and there might have been people who had come here before, but they had never heard anything about this place.
"Since there are only two paths, I will naturally choose the path of life." Lu Xuan said to the Mystical Ice Demon in front of him.
The Mystical Ice Demon smiled, "I also hope that you can survive. Otherwise, all this waiting would have been in vain. Come on, use your strongest strength and defeat me."
