With that, Lu Xuan slowly walked forward and walked towards the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword that was stabbed into the ice platform.
From the looks of it, the sword seemed to be stabbed casually, as if it could be pulled out with just a little bit of force. But Lu Xuan knew that it wasn't that simple. But Bing Ling didn't give him any hints, so he could only take his time to find a way to pull out the sword.
Chen Xiaohan and Xia Chenxi both looked at Lu Xuan nervously. They were silently encouraging Lu Xuan in their hearts. This was a great opportunity. If Lu Xuan could grasp this opportunity, he would be able to obtain a large amount of wealth. With so much wealth, even if Lu Xuan cultivated to the Origin Realm, it would be an easy task.
Bing Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation. Indeed, she also hoped that Lu Xuan would be able to obtain the recognition of the Ice Phoenix. The Profound Ice Hidden Domain was becoming more and more unstable. Furthermore, maintaining the Profound Ice Hidden Domain required a large amount of resources. Even if all the resources here were to be consumed, the Profound Ice Hidden Domain could only be maintained for another ten or so years. In such a short period of time, the chances of attracting a genius like Lu Xuan who could pass five stages in a row was too slim.
Once all the resources here were consumed, the Profound Ice Hidden Domain would disappear completely. She would also be drawn into the spatial turbulence and drift around. If she was lucky, she might be found by some powerful martial artist wandering in the void. If she was unlucky, she would be annihilated by the powerful spatial turbulence. Although the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword was powerful, it had been severely damaged after the battle with the Ice Phoenix. It couldn't withstand the power of the spatial turbulence.
Under the gaze of the three, Lu Xuan reached out his right hand and slowly grasped the hilt of the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword. Once he grasped the sword, Lu Xuan's nervous mood instantly relaxed. He had a very close feeling towards the sword. As long as he had the sword in his hand, he wouldn't panic.
Immediately, an extremely intimate feeling came over him. Lu Xuan instantly felt as if there was an invisible connection between him and the sword, as if they were connected by blood.
Bing Ling's voice sounded in a timely manner, "The Profound Ice Phoenix's Blood Sword was forged from a complete piece of Profound Ice Crystal that was ten thousand years old. Later on, Master continued to use his own blood essence to refine it. Only then did it become Master's Natal Weapon. Therefore, those who possess the Ice Phoenix's bloodline will feel a connection with this sword. Just this sword alone has absorbed more than a few hundred drops of Ice Phoenix's blood essence."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh in amazement upon hearing this. Even for the Ice Phoenix, every drop of blood essence was extremely precious and couldn't be easily consumed. However, she had actually used several hundred drops of blood essence to temper a sword. It could be said that she had spent a great deal of effort on this sword.
Would he be able to pull out the sword if he possessed the Ice Phoenix Bloodline? A guess emerged in Lu Xuan's mind. Immediately, without any hesitation, he exerted a little force and pulled the sword upwards.
However, the Profound Ice Phoenix's Blood Sword didn't move an inch. It was as if it wasn't inserted into the ice platform, but had completely fused with the entire ice platform.
This result was within Lu Xuan's expectations, but it was also somewhat unexpected. Although he hadn't used much force just now, it was still a piece of cake for him to pull out a sword. Now that he hadn't succeeded, it could only be said that the method he used to pull out the sword was wrong.
Thinking about it, if one only needed the Ice Phoenix's bloodline to pull out the sword, then all the cultivators who had entered this place would only need to pass three tests and obtain a drop of Ice Phoenix's blood essence to pull out the sword. There would be no need to obtain the Ice Phoenix's approval.
Still holding the Profound Ice Phoenix's Blood Sword in his right hand, Lu Xuan began to ponder, thinking about how to obtain the Ice Phoenix's approval. Bing Ling didn't urge Lu Xuan, letting him do as he pleased.
"The reason why the Ice Phoenix left behind the Profound Ice Secret Realm and the Profound Ice Phoenix's Blood Sword should be to find a true successor. What kind of successor is the Ice Phoenix looking for?" Lu Xuan kept thinking. As long as he found out the reason, the chances of obtaining the Ice Phoenix's approval would be higher.
Talent? Comprehension? Lu Xuan was the first to think of these two points, because no matter who recruited a disciple or successor, this was the most important thing. However, this was also the first thing Lu Xuan ruled out. To obtain the opportunity to pull out the sword, one must pass five tests in a row. Talent and comprehension had already been tested in the five tests, so the Ice Phoenix naturally didn't need to go through the extra steps.
Seeing Lu Xuan frowning in deep thought, Bing Ling didn't say anything. She only looked at Lu Xuan indifferently. Perhaps she knew how to pull out the sword, but she wouldn't tell him. Only Lu Xuan himself knew how to truly possess the sword. Even if she didn't want to stay in the Profound Ice Secret Realm, or even fall into the Void Turbulence, she wouldn't show any favoritism in this matter.
While thinking hard, Lu Xuan's mind suddenly flashed. Heart! Yes, he definitely needed a heart, a sincere heart!
Immediately, Lu Xuan's thoughts turned quickly. The Ice Phoenix had encountered a great battle at the last moment of her life. Even if she escaped, she must have been on the verge of death. Otherwise, she wouldn't have left her natal weapons behind. Even the Phoenix Soaring Ninth Heaven Sword Technique and the Profound Ice Heart Sutra here. Moreover, it was very likely that she had already died.
In that case, what was the Ice Phoenix thinking about at the last moment of her life?
Lu Xuan slowly put himself in the shoes of the Ice Phoenix's emotions. Perhaps it was … revenge?
Generally speaking, when one was chased to death by an enemy, they would definitely want revenge. For the time being, Lu Xuan could only think of this. After all, he didn't know the specific situation. He didn't even know the reason why the Ice Phoenix had experienced that battle.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's right hand slowly exerted force again, and a trace of perception covered the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword. Although this was only the Ice Phoenix's natal weapon, since Bing Ling said that he needed to obtain the Ice Phoenix's approval, it seemed that the Ice Phoenix had done something to this sword, so it could sense his thoughts.
"Senior Ice Phoenix, when I succeed in martial arts, I will definitely find out the truth of your battle and help you kill your enemy." Lu Xuan expressed his thoughts through his own perception.
Perhaps the Ice Phoenix had sensed Lu Xuan's thoughts, the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword, which had been motionless all this time, was suddenly pulled out by Lu Xuan a little, and a section of the sword's body that was hidden in the ice platform was suddenly exposed.
Chen Xiaohan, Xia Chenxi, and Bing Ling, who had been watching Lu Xuan, had a look of joy on their faces at the same time. The Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword had actually been pulled out a little by Lu Xuan!
There was hope! Chen Xiaohan and Xia Chenxi's hearts tightened, and they only hoped that Lu Xuan would be able to pull it out completely in one go.
Did he really obtain the master's approval in such a short time? Bing Ling thought to herself. Although she vaguely knew how to pull out the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword, she did not know the specifics. After all, she had lost a large part of her memory. Even if she told Lu Xuan, she would only be able to use it as a reference.
Lu Xuan was also a little happy in his heart. Since the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword had moved, it meant that he had really found the right method. At that moment, Lu Xuan did not stay any longer, and he suddenly exerted force, preparing to pull out the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword completely in one go.
However, when the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword was halfway out, it was stuck again. No matter how hard Lu Xuan tried, it did not move at all, and it returned to its previous state.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaohan and Xia Chenxi, who were a little excited just now, suddenly froze. Why was it not moving? Did something happen again?
Bing Ling was also a little confused. He had clearly pulled it out before, so why was it stuck again?
Lu Xuan tried a few more times, and only stopped when he was sure that he really could not pull it out. He turned his head to look at Bing Ling, wanting to ask her what was going on.
Meeting Lu Xuan's gaze, Bing Ling slowly shook her head, "Don't ask me, I don't know either. But I think there is only one reason, and that is, you have not obtained the master's complete approval."
"Is that so?" Lu Xuan murmured, frowning again in deep thought. Previously, he felt the will of the Ice Phoenix, and made a promise to take revenge. The Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword was pulled out, which meant that there was no problem with his train of thought. If that was the case, then perhaps avenging the Ice Phoenix was not the only wish of the Ice Phoenix.
Just as Lu Xuan was deep in thought, the silent Sword Crystal in his body suddenly moved again. Lu Xuan was slightly surprised. He clearly did not touch the Sword Crystal, so why did the Sword Crystal appear again? Could it be related to the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword?
A gentle sword aura was quickly emitted by the Sword Crystal, following Lu Xuan's body, directly reaching his right arm, and finally pouring into the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword!
Lu Xuan was even more puzzled. Could it be that the Sword Crystal wanted him to use his Yuan Power to activate the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword? But he had not obtained the approval of the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword, so he could not activate it at all. The Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword was a Spirit Tool, not an ordinary Artifact, so not everyone could use it.
And while Lu Xuan was thinking, a change suddenly occurred!
The sword aura of the Sword Crystal easily entered the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword, and as soon as it sensed the sword aura, the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword trembled, and even Lu Xuan's right hand, which was holding the hilt, also trembled.
"Shing!" A sword cry rang out, and without any need for Lu Xuan to use any strength, the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword actually jumped out of the ice platform by itself, and was easily held in Lu Xuan's hand!
This sudden change made Lu Xuan incomparably stunned. What was going on? He could only pull out half of the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword with all his might, but as the Sword Crystal poured in the sword aura, the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword actually jumped out by itself, as if it was afraid that he would give up on pulling it out.
"I pulled it out! I pulled it out! " Chen Xiaohan's face was flushed with excitement, and she held onto Xia Chenxi's hand as she jumped up and down, appearing to be even more excited than Lu Xuan.
She could not help but be excited, this was the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword! And more importantly, the significance of Lu Xuan pulling out this sword represented!
This meant that Lu Xuan had already obtained the approval of the Ice Phoenix, and could obtain all of the Ice Phoenix's inheritance, including the five precious treasures, as well as a large amount of Spirit Materials and Yuan Stones!
