Du Xiaomao's choice was not out of Lu Xuan's expectations. As a cultivator, if they did not have the courage to take risks, then their achievements in this life would be limited. No one could become an expert by cultivating peacefully. Even the genius disciples of large sects, who had countless treasures for their use from a young age, had to rely on their own efforts after cultivating to a certain level.
Leng Qingqiu, as the strongest disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion, knew that there was a life-threatening existence in the cave of the almighty, but she still took the risk to enter it.
Zhao Ying involuntarily sighed when she saw that all three of her disciples had chosen to enter the cave of the almighty ancient being that had appeared this time around. "Actually, from the bottom of my heart, I do not wish for all of you to go. Although an opportunity is important, one only has one life. No one knows if it is worth it to gamble one's only life for that elusive opportunity."
"Forget it. Young people always have young people's way of thinking. I cannot force my will on you. Since you have decided to go, then I only have one hope for you, and that is to come back alive. "Zhao Ying looked at the three of them and said.
"Don't worry, master. We will take good care of ourselves." Lu Xuan nodded firmly. He wanted opportunities, but he could not lose his life!
"That's for the best. Alright, go and rest. Tomorrow, I will go with you to the stone city." Zhao Ying waved her hand lightly.
The three of them bowed and left with different feelings. Lu Xuan still walked into Zhao Binger's room. This time, Zhao Binger did not say anything. Instead, she hugged Lu Xuan tightly as soon as she entered the room. Their two bodies were entangled, and there was no need for words.
The sects of the Heavenly Sword Continent were very strict, so there were very few wars. However, the number of cultivators who died every year was not low, and the places where they died were mostly in the various Mystery Territories.
Compared to the Heavenly Sword Continent, the Mystery Territory was equivalent to an isolated world. All the restrictions of the Heavenly Sword Continent were so weak here. The accumulated hatred would all explode in the Mystery Territory. What's more, the Mystery Territory itself was a great wealth. People die for wealth, and birds die for food. It was very normal to start a war for treasures.
No matter how confident Lu Xuan was in his own strength, even if Zhao Binger had reached the second level of the Origin Realm, they could not guarantee that they could escape unscathed.
The night was silent. A trace of white rose from the east. The silent night had finally passed, ushering in a brand new day. It was unknown how many direct disciples had sleepless nights.
Lu Xuan woke up early and went to Chen Xiaohan's residence. Although he had told Chen Xiaohan to stay in the Xuan Ice Pavilion obediently last night, he knew that she would not be so obedient.
"Do you really want to go?" Lu Xuan asked again. As he expected, Chen Xiaohan was determined to go.
"If you don't go, then I won't go." Chen Xiaohan replied.
Lu Xuan could not help but have a headache. Why were they all like this? He had to continue persuading, "You now have the ancient talisman technique. As long as you cultivate well, you will definitely have extraordinary achievements in the future. There might not be anything you need in the ancient almighty's cave. If there are any treasures, I will definitely give them to you. You don't have to go, lest I worry."
Chen Xiaohan said in a fit of pique, "One more person means more strength. I am now a 5 star Talisman Master and am no longer weak. I will definitely be able to help you."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "You heard what the Pavilion Master said yesterday. There is a high possibility that there will be many Origin Realm existences among the disciples that will enter the Secret Domain this time. Even a 5 star Talisman Master won't be enough. If you can break through to 6 star Talisman Master within three days, I will allow you to go."
"You!" Chen Xiaohan was fuming. Wasn't this making things difficult for her? Although she had touched the threshold of becoming a 6 star Talisman Master, it was not so easy to break through. Breaking through to a Talisman Master was even harder than breaking through to a martial artist. This was because a Talisman Master breaking through to the next stage was equivalent to a martial artist breaking through to the next three stages.
Seeing Chen Xiaohan's helplessness, Lu Xuan struck while the iron was hot, "If you insist on going, then I won't go."
Chen Xiaohan was instantly in a dilemma. She knew that Lu Xuan really wanted to go. Whether it was Lu Xuan's personality or the opportunity this time, they were all reasons for him to go. If she really caused Lu Xuan to miss this opportunity, Chen Xiaohan would definitely blame herself.
After thinking about it, she could only sigh, "Then I won't go. But you must promise me that you will come back in one piece."
Speaking up to this point, Chen Xiaohan's eyes were already glistening with tears. She obviously remembered the near-death experience in the Mystic Ice Mystery Territory and was afraid that something would happen to Lu Xuan again. Lu Xuan lovingly kissed Chen Xiaohan's eyelids and said, "Don't worry, I am blessed with a long life. How could anything happen to me? Be a good girl and wait for me to come back. If you have not become a 6 star Talisman Master by the time I come back, I will spank your butt."
Chen Xiaohan was amused by Lu Xuan's shameless words and laughed through her tears. She glared at him and said, "Even if I have broken through, I will let you spank me."
Looking at her coquettish eyes, Lu Xuan couldn't bear it. This little girl was becoming more and more seductive. En, for the sake of his beauties, he couldn't bear to die.
After whispering sweet nothings to Chen Xiaohan, Lu Xuan was about to leave when Chen Xiaohan took out an array disc and said, "This was given to me by Master. It can instantly cast a Purple Void Rainbow Array. It can be used to attack or defend, but it can only be used once. It was originally for me to save my life in the Mystic Ice Mystery Territory. Since I am not going, you can take it. It should be able to help you."
Lu Xuan was slightly surprised and said, "Purple Void Rainbow Array? If I remember correctly, this is a Seven Star Spirit Array. It seems that Elder Xing is very good to you. "
Chen Xiaohan giggled and said, "Master values me very much. In fact, he doesn't want me to go. After all, I have just entered the sect."
Lu Xuan received the Purple Void Rainbow Array and said with a smile, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. Remember to thank Elder Xing on my behalf. I still have to go look for Master."
This trip was not in vain. Not only did he successfully persuade Chen Xiaohan, he also obtained a pretty good treasure. A Seven Star Spirit Symbol Master was equivalent to an early stage Origin Returning Stage practitioner. A powerful Seven Star Spirit Symbol Master's battle prowess was even comparable to a middle stage Origin Returning Stage practitioner. A Seven Star Spirit Array might be able to display an unimaginable miraculous effect in the Mystic Ice Mystery Territory and could even save one's life at a crucial moment.
When they returned to Yunxuan Hall, Zhao Binger and Du Xiaomao were already prepared. However, Zhao Ying was nowhere to be seen. No one knew what she was up to, so the three of them could only continue to wait.
Only when it was close to noon did Zhao Ying finally appear, looking slightly exhausted. The moment she saw them, she handed over three identical talismans to the three of them.
"These three talismans have been infused with extremely strong mystic ice energy. Once it is activated, it will form a mystic ice barrier that can withstand an attack of any strength below the Absolute Void Stage. I hope it will be of help to you." Zhao Ying spoke in a hoarse voice.
Lu Xuan and the other two finally understood why Zhao Ying only appeared now and looked so exhausted. It turned out that she had been refining these three talismans. Zhao Ying herself was only at the peak of the ninth level of the Origin Realm. Refining a talisman that could withstand an attack below the Absolute Void Stage must have taken a lot of effort.
Lu Xuan could not help but sigh in gratitude. It seemed like for this exploration of the ancient master's cave, the group of elders had spared no effort and each of them brought out their strongest abilities to help their disciple.
Actually, Zhao Ying had wanted to refine an offensive talisman for Lu Xuan and the other two. However, the Mystic Ice Mystery Territory did not allow any existence above the Origin Realm to appear. She was worried that once the power of the Origin Realm was displayed, it would trigger a reaction from the Mystic Ice Mystery Territory. Thus, she switched to a defensive talisman.
After instructing everything, under Zhao Ying's lead, the four of them finally headed towards the Mystic Ice Grand Hall. They waited for everyone to gather before heading towards the stone city.
This time, Wen Zhiyuan arrived rather early. When Lu Xuan and the other three arrived, he was already here. Many of the other disciples had arrived as well. Lu Xuan noticed that there were fewer people than last night, but there were still many disciples who chose to take the gamble.
Those who were able to become a personal disciple were all talented individuals. Furthermore, they had higher aspirations towards the martial dao and were unwilling to submit to others. Before the danger, everyone thought that they were lucky and wouldn't die in the Mystic Ice Mystery Territory. But it was a pity that every single martial artist who died had the same thoughts as them.
Lu Xuan also saw many familiar faces. Leng Qingqiu and Yang Weili were among them. Besides them, the other disciples under Nangong Shuo were also participating, including Wan Jianfei and Tang Yi. However, Han Feng didn't come. It was obvious that he knew his own limits. Don't think that he was a tyrant in the Mystic Ice Mystery Territory. In a secret territory of this level, he was just a cannon fodder level existence.
Two of Elder Xing's disciples had also come. One was a Four Star Talisman Master and the other was a Five Star Talisman Master. Lu Xuan couldn't remember their names. Lu Xuan was rather impressed by the Four Star Talisman Master's courage. Even with this level of strength, he still dared to participate. Lu Xuan didn't know if he wasn't afraid of death or confident in his own luck.
Wen Zhiyuan looked at the time and said in a deep voice, "Wait for another fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, everyone will follow me to the stone city."
In the last fifteen minutes, three more disciples arrived one after another. Since they had only arrived at this moment, it was obvious that they had gone through countless struggles in their hearts.
Once the time was up, Wen Zhiyuan didn't hesitate and directly threw out a flying spirit boat. It grew with the wind and instantly turned into a huge spirit boat that was comparable to a palace!
Zhao Bing`er said in a low voice, "This is the personal treasure of the pavilion master. It is said that it was also obtained in a secret territory. It is an Earth-rank treasure."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but praise, "How domineering. Maybe we will also be able to obtain one this time."
"Even if you obtain it, you won't be able to use it. The consumption of this spirit boat is measured in top grade Yuan Stones." Zhao Bing`er reminded. Lu Xuan was resentful. Although he also had a lot of top grade Yuan Stones, he wasn't extravagant enough to use them to power a flying machine. Not to mention him, even Wen Zhiyuan wouldn't easily use it on normal days.
