Bai Xiaowen looked up.
The sky of this Frozen Star was not dark gray or dark red, but a vast white, as if there were countless snowflakes and salt grains.
Through the grayish-white sky, one could see a faintly discernible palace.
"That palace … What's the situation?"
Bai Xiaowen slowly channeled his spiritual power and flew toward the palace.
Strangely, the palace in the sky looked very close, but when Bai Xiaowen flew over, he could not get close. When he took a step forward, the palace seemed to take a step back. The faster he flew, the faster the palace retreated.
"It seems to be an illusion similar to a mirage. However, it seems that this place does not have the conditions to create a mirage … "Bai Xiaowen frowned. The illusion of this palace was very unusual.
Bai Xiaowen could not help but think of the "star map" stored in the Titan Astrolabe and the eye symbol in the center of the nine planets.
Since the palace was above the sky and could be seen but not reached, was it related to the eye symbol?
In other words, the palace was what the eye symbol referred to.
Bai Xiaowen slowly landed and stepped on the ice and snow.
Through the ice, Bai Xiaowen's spiritual sense could feel that there was an energy fluctuation buried below the place where he landed on the Frozen Star, which was very similar to the fluctuation of the planet's portal.
It should be said that this was the long-distance portal to the "Akira Star", but it was sealed by ice. It was through these two portals that Bai Xiaowen was able to travel between the first layer and the second layer of the star field.
"At least, I should dig out this portal first."
There were boundary markers near the portals, which might record some useful information.
In Bai Xiaowen's palm, the shadow of a small flaming sword slowly extended. It was the Kusanagi Sword Soul.
This thing was one of the "Three Divine Artifacts" in the Awakened Plane, which was powerful and mysterious.
However, with Bai Xiaowen's current knowledge and attainments in the branch of immortal arts, "refining," this Kusanagi Sword Soul was just a strange object no higher than the Epic Level.
However, it contained Flame Martial Arts moves such as "Orochi's Roar", and it also had some characteristics of a skill book. It was similar to the second volume of the Taihei Essential Technique.
"If I have the chance, I can find some high-grade fire-type materials and try to refine the Sword-soul of the Kusanagi into a magic tool." Bai Xiaowen pondered for a moment.
After the Kusanagi Sword Soul was infused with True Essence, the flames on its surface burned even more fiercely. The temperature in the air inexplicably rose by several degrees.
Whoosh! Bai Xiaowen swung his sword. From the tip of the sword soul of the Kusanagi, a several-feet-long blazing flame spurted out, sweeping across the snow-covered ground.
A large piece of ice was forcibly melted. Bai Xiaowen slightly bent the five fingers of his left hand, and an invisible hand made of True Inner Force firmly grasped the ice and flipped it to one side. This was the result of the [Seven Evils Grand Hand Seal] being practiced to the proficient level.
Just like that, Bai Xiaowen created an ice cellar.
Sure enough, he saw a faintly glowing portal and an ancient boundary marker below.
Bai Xiaowen exhaled. Using a fire-type technique in such an extremely cold environment would almost double the energy consumption. There was a limit to human strength. In the end, it was impossible to compete with nature.
Moreover, after Bai Xiaowen put away the Sword-soul of the Kusanagi, the surrounding temperature rapidly dropped. In the wind and snow, the ice cellar actually showed signs of gradually freezing over.
Taking advantage of the fact that the ice cellar was not sealed, Bai Xiaowen jumped into it and memorized the words on the boundary marker. He "copied" it into his mind.
"On the far right of the inscription, there is a symbol that is similar to the symbol on Akira Star. It should mean 'planet'. Then the one on the right should also be the name of the planet. It should be called … Black Ice Star? Hmm, I'll call it that for now. "
Bai Xiaowen silently compared the Divine Writing on this inscription with the Divine Writing on the inscription in front of him. He silently looked for a pattern and tried to decipher it.
This process was similar to a cryptographer deciphering a code.
The difference was that the Divine Writing was more complicated than a code. Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen had the Black Book in his mind, so he had a basic understanding of the Divine Writing.
"I only managed to decipher two phrases. The first phrase is' The Temple of Prophecy ', and the second phrase is' The Underground Road to the Sacred '… "
Bai Xiaowen was deep in thought. He raised his head again and looked at the faintly discernible temple in the sky.
There was a rustling sound.
Bai Xiaowen suddenly became alert. He released a few of his main summoned creatures to guard around him.
Boom!
A huge white shadow soared into the sky, and endless hail fragments came crashing down like raindrops.
Butcher roared, and his round body suddenly expanded, blocking all the hailstone fragments. After a moment of expansion, its body shrank back to a height of more than two meters. It shook the fat on its body, and the hailstones embedded in it fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
"Master, it's an ice worm. It's not strong. We can handle it." Delifa Sig said.
The white shadow was an enlarged version of a white centipede. Only its head was slightly different. It had a terrifying spiral mouth with several layers of fine broken teeth.
Although it looked ferocious and ugly, Bai Xiaowen could tell that the ice worm was not as strong as the scorpion monster on Planet Akiluo. It was still a Lord-tier monster.
In front of Sig Delifa Sig, who was close to King-tier, the Lord-tier monster was naturally "not strong."
"It must have been attracted by the commotion caused by me digging the Boundary Stone. There's no need to waste time on it. It might attract more monsters."
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand. A yellow talisman flew out and "stuck" itself on the ice worm's head. The latter's body suddenly stiffened.
At the same time, Bai Xiaowen's body flashed and appeared in front of the ice worm. He held out the Blade of the Grassland Brotherhood. An invisible light blade pierced through the ice worm's seventh pair of limbs. True Inner Force exploded in its body.
The ice worm's body swayed and suddenly fell to the ground. Only its limbs were left twitching. Its central nervous system had been destroyed by Bai Xiaowen.
In fact, the ice worm only had a finger-sized wound on its body. Compared to its huge body, it was not worth mentioning at all. However, it was this finger-sized wound that led to its death.
Delifa Sig looked at Bai Xiaowen with admiration. She felt that Bai Xiaowen had become stronger. This kind of strength could not be described with words.
A few Lord-tier summoned creatures quickly cut open the ice worm's body. They took out a deified core and gave it to Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen also removed the ice worm's broken teeth. The Eye of Evolution showed that these broken teeth were a Dark Gold Level-9 cold material called "Ice Leech Teeth."
"Looks like it's not called an ice worm. It's called an ice leech."
Bai Xiaowen observed the direction of the ley line. Although it was covered by a layer of ice, the general direction of the ley line could still be seen clearly.
Bai Xiaowen recalled the Four Heavenly Kings and other summoned creatures, leaving only the Frost Dragon as his mount. He stepped on it and slowly recovered his energy.
The Frost Wyrm seemed to like such an environment. It became more energetic, and spread its wings. It flew in the direction that Bai Xiaowen had pointed out.
On the way, Bai Xiaowen encountered a new type of monster on Mystic Glacier.
This monster looked like a snake swimming in the air, but its body was crystal clear like ice. It was wrapped in a thick chill from head to toe.
Using the Eye of Evolution, Han Xiao glanced at it. This monster was called the Ice Wraith. It was an elemental ice-type monster formed by the resentment of a dead creature under cold conditions. It also had the strength of a Lord-tier monster. However, it also had low intelligence and could only move based on instinct.
This was a common occurrence. Monsters with higher intelligence would not easily provoke someone like Bai Xiaowen who had a Lord-tier Frost Dragon as a mount.
The Ice Wraith was not difficult to deal with. They only had two moves. They could spit icicles from afar as a magical attack like the Ice Spear Spell. They could also bite at close range.
However, the Frost Dragon had additional damage reduction against ice-type attacks. With its huge body, it could completely block the attacks.
Bai Xiaowen also saved his True Inner Force and shot arrows from afar. With the insight of the Eye of Evolution and the prediction of the super brain, he could kill an Ice Wraith with a few arrows.
The Ice Wraith would explode after death. Unfortunately, there was no Deified Core.
Bai Xiaowen then realized that not every native monster in the Land of Origin would drop a Deified Core, which was a necessary energy source for teleportation portals.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen could still collect a material called the Ice Wraith's Essence. It was an Epic-tier ice-type material. Otherwise, he would have suffered a great loss.
After this brief interlude, Bai Xiaowen rode on the Frost Dragon and continued flying. As he flew, he observed the landscape and adjusted his course.
It took a total of 11 hours to reach the location of the next planet's teleportation portal.
The Frost Dragon was really a good mount, especially in such an environment. After flying at high speed for 11 hours, it was still very energetic.
Fortunately, flying was an instinct of the Frost Dragon. It only required a certain amount of energy (similar to the physical strength of a living body). In such a cold environment, the Frost Dragon's energy would recover quickly. In other words, as long as it did not consume any Spiritual Power, the Frost Dragon could fly around the planet for a few rounds without stopping.
"Eh, there's someone?"
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes slightly. When he flew to the sky above the ice valley where the target was located, he keenly discovered two energy waves.
These two energy waves belonged to living beings. They were so faint that they were almost undetectable. If Bai Xiaowen did not have the Mental Cultivation to enhance his insight and was in a vigilant state, he really would have been fooled.
Looking at the ice valley, there were still some unnatural and messy traces that had been deliberately covered up. It was obvious that these two creatures were also trying to excavate this place. Moreover, they had arrived not too early. They had arrived right after Bai Xiaowen. After Bai Xiaowen arrived, the two creatures had hastily concealed themselves and hid.
"Come out." Bai Xiaowen stood up from the Frost Dragon.
Within the white mist, two figures appeared.
"This appearance!"
Bai Xiaowen's eyes suddenly narrowed. Although these two "humans" were similar in size to earthlings, they had physiological characteristics that were different from earthlings.
One of them had fine scales on the top of his head, eyebrows, beard, and other places where hair should have grown.
The other had a slightly hunched back and a thick mane grew from the back of his neck.
"Who are you? Appearing in such a high-profile manner, aren't you afraid of attracting the monsters of this planet?" The maned man spoke in an unknown language that Bai Xiaowen did not understand at all. However, Bai Xiaowen could still understand the thought waves when he spoke.
Bai Xiaowen looked at the Frost Dragon beneath his feet. By high-profile, did it mean that he appeared in flight while riding the Frost Dragon?
"Oh, this is my Summoned Beast."
Bai Xiaowen quickly disguised himself as a Summoner. It was a little strange to say this because he could be considered a Summoner in the first place.
Bai Xiaowen jumped off the Frost Dragon and patted its neck. He said with a hint of pride, "We did encounter a few local monsters on the way, but they were all killed by my Frost Dragon. It's very strong, haha. "
The maned man and the scaled man looked at each other, showing a hint of disapproval.
Having a Level-17 Lord-tier Summoned Beast was indeed a good combat power, but in the Land of Origin, it could only be considered as the lowest tier.
"You better be careful," the scaled man said unhappily. "Don't think that killing a few low-tier monsters is something to be proud of. The monsters in the Gods' Labyrinth are very scary, especially when there's a big commotion. They will appear in groups. If you ruin our business, I won't forgive you. "
Bai Xiaowen appeared to be in a good mood. "Understood, understood. What are you doing? Are you digging for something? Can I join in? "
The maned man looked at Bai Xiaowen and extended a large brown hand. "Sure, give me ten Deified Cores first."
The scaled man agreed. "That's right, we found this place first …"
Bai Xiaowen crossed his arms and looked at his two extraterrestrial friends. He chuckled and said, "Forget it, I won't join in for now. I'll wait until you find something. "
Of course, Bai Xiaowen knew that there must be a planet's portal buried under the ice valley. Perhaps it was because no one had used it for a long time, and because of its geographical location, the portal was buried very deep. It would not be easy to dig it out.
Bai Xiaowen volunteered to join in because he did not want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. He did not expect that it would become an excuse for the two extraterrestrials to blackmail him.
Sometimes, it was not good to be a good person. He might as well wait for the two extraterrestrials to contribute. After all, the two of them could not hog the portal forever.
When they were done, Bai Xiaowen could use it again. Unlike teleportation circles, portals were indestructible.
The two extraterrestrials did not look happy.
The maned man snorted and said, "If you don't join us now, you won't get a share when we dig out the treasure."
The scaled man added, "We won't give you a share at all!"
"Ah, it's okay. I'm a very honest person. I won't use my Frost Dragon to steal your treasure." Bai Xiaowen gave the two of them a reassuring thumbs-up and smiled.
"Hmph, it's just a Lord-tier summoned beast …" the maned man muttered. His disdain was almost palpable. He stopped talking nonsense with Bai Xiaowen and focused on digging the ice layer with the scaled man.
