Bing Ling took a look at Lu Xuan and continued, "However, this isn't without its drawbacks. The foundations of this sealed land are the formations that I laid down back then. Once I take out those treasures, the formations will naturally be destroyed. Without the seven formations as the foundation, this sealed land will no longer be able to live up to its name. The Soul race that is trapped in this place will be able to easily escape. Therefore, what you need to do is to kill all of them before the Soul race can even realize what's going on!"
Lu Xuan nodded. He wouldn't let his guard down against the Soul Tribe. If he could kill two, he wouldn't just kill one. Once Bing Ling absorbed the other treasures, he would be able to do as he pleased in the sealed land. No matter how many of the Soul Tribe came, he would be able to kill them all.
"Alright, I'm about to begin. The treasures will automatically fly to me as I absorb them. Remember to collect them in time," Bing Ling reminded him.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I won't let you down. Even if you fall asleep again, I'll find a chance to wake you up as soon as possible," Lu Xuan promised.
Bing Ling smiled. She gently pinched the Connate Replenishment Pill between her thumb and index finger. She could clearly feel the powerful energy contained within. Suddenly, she exerted some force, and the pill in her hand instantly turned to powder!
Under the effects of the ice spirit's power, all the powder fell on her body and gradually melted away. Lu Xuan could clearly sense that the ice spirit's aura was continuously growing. She was forcefully activating the medicinal effects of the Innate Replenishment Elixir so that her powers would be greatly boosted within a short period of time.
Under Lu Xuan's watchful eyes, Bing Ling suddenly rose into the air. She drew a circle with her hands, then folded them together. She shouted, "Ice Covers the World, All Things Return, Gather!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, a strong suction force appeared without warning. The leaves around them rustled, and a strong chill swept over them. Lu Xuan, who was standing not far from Bing Ling, couldn't help but shiver.
Sikong Tiancai and the others who were pursuing the Jiuhua Alliance also felt this unusual force. They couldn't help but pause.
"What a powerful force. Who is this?" Sikong Tiancai asked in surprise.
"It shouldn't be a cultivator. This power is extraordinary and it seems to have been unleashed by an extremely powerful person. In reality, however, the power isn't that strong. Perhaps it's the aura of the sealed grounds," Zuo Cen secretly deduced.
"It's her aura!" Kher suddenly spoke. Sikong Tiancai and the others looked over curiously, only to discover that Kher was trembling uncontrollably.
Sikong Tiancai couldn't help but roar with laughter when he saw this. "Ku Er, isn't your Hun Clan too cowardly? You're so terrified by just a force?"
Being ridiculed by Sikong Tiancai, Kur said angrily, "Humph, what do you know? In the words of your Human Clan, ignorance is bliss. Do you know who the owner of this power is?"
"Who is it?" Zuo Cen asked curiously. Kurna was someone who had lived for over ten thousand years. He definitely had a better understanding of the sealed grounds than they did.
"The Ice Phoenix!" Ku Er spat out through gritted teeth. It was because of the Ice Phoenix that they'd been trapped here for so long. Those who were dead were dead, and those who survived were far weaker than before. They were struggling at death's door. Otherwise, with the pride of the Hun Clan, how could they have allied with Zuo Cen and the others?
"The Ice Phoenix?" Sikong Tiancai didn't understand.
"The one who laid down this seal and trapped us for ten thousand years!" Ku Er glared at Sikong Tiancai.
"It's her?!" Sikong Tiancai cried out. The Octagonal Temple was an old faction, and naturally had records of what happened ten thousand years ago. If it weren't for the two Human Clan powerhouses who sealed the Hun Clan away, they would have long since ceased to exist.
But now, the Sikong family and the Illusion God Sect had allied with the Hun Clan for their own benefit. If that powerhouse found out, wouldn't he be slapped to death? Now that Ku Er had sensed her power, could she have returned?
It was Ku Er's turn to mock Sikong Tiancai when he saw how panicked he was. "Looks like you're not very brave. But don't worry, this power shouldn't have been unleashed by the Ice Phoenix. Instead, it's caused by the formation she left here. If it really was the Ice Phoenix, we would have died a long time ago."
Sikong Tiancai's heart was finally at ease when he heard Ku Er's words. This damned Hun Clan. They didn't even speak clearly and almost embarrassed him. Since it was just a false alarm, Sikong Tiancai and the others naturally wouldn't change their minds. They continued to chase after Nangong Lie and the others.
At this moment, a huge change was happening in a corner of the sealed grounds. A lake in the north that was covered in frost all year round was emitting cracking sounds. The solid ice was actually shattering inch by inch. When all the ice shattered, a palm-sized bead suddenly shot out and rapidly flew in a certain direction.
The west of the sealed grounds was a place that no one was willing to go to, because even the air there was extremely sharp. It was as if the air would cut your throat if you ran even a little faster. At this moment, a mine that gave off an intense sharp aura suddenly collapsed. An irregular ore that flickered with dazzling light streaked through the air at an extremely fast speed. It was even faster than the bead that had escaped from the ice, because even the air had been sliced apart by it. Nothing could stop it.
Wind was a colorless and formless thing, but you couldn't deny its existence. Furthermore, it was an extremely important existence. There was a small cave in the Wind Realm that was filled with wild gales. Upon entering the cave, one would discover a gust of wind blowing from an unknown location. It was extremely strange.
There was a treasure in the cave that no one could see. It was called the Eye of the Modest Wind. After receiving the Ice Phoenix's summon, the restriction in the cave was instantly released. A gust of wind swept through the cave and disappeared.
… …
Bing Ling's body gradually began to tremble. In order to forcefully attract these great treasures, she had overdrawn her strength. Even the Innate Replenishing Pill was unable to fully support her consumption. Lu Xuan hurriedly poured a strand of soul power into Bing Ling's body when he saw this. He knew that Bing Ling was currently a spirit, so the most important thing to her was her soul power.
"Don't worry about me. The first treasure is coming. Get ready!" Bing Ling forcefully reminded him.
Lu Xuan couldn't bear to see her like this. His Soul Lake flipped and he suddenly poured a strand of soul power into Bing Ling's body. Only then did he reorganize his mind and prepare to receive the treasure that was coming.
The first treasure that arrived was not a metal-type ore that could break open space, nor was it the extremely mysterious Eye of the Wind that floated in the air, nor was it a bead that rushed out from the mysterious ice. Instead, it was a slender bamboo that was completely golden in color. It looked very beautiful, but on its body, there were bursts of lightning that flashed from time to time.
"This is a Golden Lightning Bamboo. The Golden Lightning Bamboo is born without roots. It doesn't need soil or water to grow. It only needs to absorb a large amount of lightning energy. Although it's called bamboo, it's not a wood-type treasure at all because its entire body is filled with dense lightning energy. It takes a thousand years to grow an inch long Golden Lightning Bamboo. Now, this Golden Lightning Bamboo is almost a meter long, "Bing Ling explained for Lu Xuan.
Looking at this Golden Lightning Bamboo, Lu Xuan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. A meter long Golden Lightning Bamboo. Didn't that mean that it had absorbed thirty thousand years of lightning energy? How powerful was that!?
How could he miss such a treasure in front of him? Lu Xuan stretched out his hand and beckoned the Golden Lightning Bamboo over. Then, he circulated his cultivation method and activated the power of the Thunderquake Divine Rune. With the help of Bing Ling, the Golden Lightning Bamboo was immediately absorbed into Lu Xuan's dantian. The dantian was indeed a mysterious place. It could contain the blazing Li Fire Essence and the long Golden Lightning Bamboo. Of course, this was because they were ownerless. Otherwise, any one of them would be able to seriously injure Lu Xuan.
As the Golden Lightning Bamboo entered his body, Lu Xuan immediately felt a strong surge of lightning elemental energy gushing into his body. It was so comfortable that he almost moaned out loud. This feeling was like a long drought meeting sweet dew. His withered body suddenly welcomed a burst of elemental energy, as if his lost strength had returned.
The abundant lightning elemental energy made Lu Xuan extremely excited. He wanted to immediately sit down and absorb this lightning elemental energy to condense the Thunderquake Divine Rune. However, there were still a few other treasures that he had yet to obtain. It wasn't the time to do such things.
At this moment, Lu Xuan noticed a bright light rushing towards him. Even though he was looking at this thing from such a distance, he could still feel a faint piercing pain between his eyebrows. One could imagine how sharp this thing's aura was.
Whoosh!
This irregularly shaped ore came to a sudden stop in front of Lu Xuan. Its entire body was shining with a metallic luster. Without a doubt, Lu Xuan knew that this was the metal-elemental treasure.
"This ore is called the Golden Sun Crystal. It can automatically absorb the surrounding metal-elemental energy to form the precious Golden Sun Crystal. It can be said that as long as one obtains a Golden Sun Crystal, it is equivalent to obtaining an inexhaustible vein of Golden Sun Crystal. Wherever there is Golden Sun Crystal, there will definitely be a Golden Sun Crystal mine. However, a Golden Sun Crystal mine might not be formed from Golden Sun Crystal."
Lu Xuan nodded his head. Following Huang Xiaolong's example, he once again absorbed the Golden Sun Crystal. However, the absorption process wasn't as easy as the Golden Lightning Bamboo. Although the Golden Lightning Bamboo's body was covered in lightning, Lu Xuan could still endure it. But when he absorbed the Golden Sun Crystal, he felt as if his entire body was being sliced apart. That kind of feeling was indescribable unless he experienced it himself.
The five elements supported each other. Earth gave birth to metal.
As soon as the Golden Sun Crystal entered Lu Xuan's dantian, it immediately became even more active. Pure metal-elemental energy continuously leaked out. Compared to the amount of energy contained in the Golden Sun Crystal, this was simply not worth mentioning.
