Out of curiosity, Qin Fen used Heaven Fire to melt the ice on one of the older cultivators.
Before he died, the old man was still flying on a sword. When the ice melted, the old man's body flew forward for some distance before he fell into the snow.
Qin Fen was shocked. He was completely shocked by the cold weather of the ninth level of the snow region.
This place could no longer be described as simply cold. This was a land of death. There was no chance of survival.
As soon as the old man fell, his body was covered in ice and snow again. Qin Fen immediately released Heaven Fire. When the ice melted again, Qin Fen took the old man's storage ring.
There was a Divine Sense Restriction on the storage ring. When Qin Fen tried to use his powerful Divine Sense to break the Divine Sense Restriction, he realized it was useless.
Qin Fen was shocked. A scary thought popped into his mind. He had absorbed more than three thousand soul crystals and cultivated the Soul Returning Technique. His Divine Sense was invincible among his peers. It was even close to the strength of a Cauldron Filling State cultivator.
However, his Divine Sense could not break the Divine Sense Seal on the dead old man's storage ring. This old man was at least Cauldron Filling State when he was alive.
A Cauldron Filling State cultivator was frozen to death the moment he entered the ninth level of the snow region. Qin Fen found it unbelievable. He realized his previous guess was completely wrong. This was not a group of low level cultivators. The harsh environment of the Nine Heavens Snow Region was more terrifying than he imagined.
Qin Fen was even more worried about Hong Chen Wu's safety. Although he could not see through this woman's realm, he guessed that she could not be Cauldron Filling State. Hong Chen Wu did not have a Heavenly Flame to protect her body. The armor she wore was only average. If she stayed in this icy environment for a long time, there was no hope of survival.
"Master! Don't worry too much, those cultivators froze to death because they underestimated the harsh weather of this region of snow. Many of them didn't even wear armor, so it's not surprising that they froze to death, "Little Pig reminded him.
Qin Feng quickly calmed himself down and looked at the eight cultivators again. It was just as Little Pig had said, only three of them were wearing armor, and they were spirit grade armor.
These people obviously didn't take any defensive measures and entered the ninth layer of the Snow Domain. Qin Fen thought about it and felt that they probably didn't even know they were going to enter the ninth layer of the Snow Domain. Perhaps they just stumbled into the formation door.
No matter what the truth was, it had little to do with Qin Feng. These people had no idea how long they had been frozen to death. However, because of the extremely cold environment, their corpses were well preserved. It was as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.
After trying a few more divine sense attacks, Qin Fen finally broke the seal on the storage ring. When his divine sense swept inside, Qin Fen was immediately stunned. He was sure that the owner of this storage ring was at least a Cauldron Filling realm cultivator, most likely in the late stage of Cauldron Filling realm. This was because the storage ring was extremely rich in cultivation resources. There were three pieces of True Artefact grade armors, and a small mountain of Level 6 and Level 7 spiritual herbs and refining materials.
Qin Fen's excitement didn't last long. He quickly gathered his thoughts and put the storage ring away. Now that he was in the ninth layer of the Snow Domain, even with the protection of two Heavenly Flames, he felt a little overwhelmed.
He didn't use the Heavenly Flame to melt the ice on the others and take their storage rings, because he didn't just need to use the two Heavenly Flames to protect himself.
Qin Fen didn't use the Heavenly Flames to protect Hong Chen Wu. Otherwise, she would've frozen to death.
The ninth layer of the Snow Domain was shrouded in a hazy snow mist. Visibility was less than 100 meters. Affected by the extremely cold environment, Qin Fen couldn't use his divine sense. He couldn't even tell north from south.
Since he couldn't find a cave to hide in, Qin Fen had no choice but to take out the Flying Cloud Awl. However, when he hid inside the Flying Cloud Awl with Hong Chen Wu in his arms, he heard a soft, crisp sound. This flying ship, which was comparable to a high-grade True Artefact in the Divine Continent, was frozen.
The Flying Cloud Awl's speed was reduced by half due to the extreme snowstorm. After flying for half an hour, the Flying Cloud Awl's surface was covered with a layer of hard ice. When Qin Fen used his divine sense to scan the ice, he found that there were many cracks on the surface.
Qin Fen was worried. If the Flying Cloud Awl was destroyed in the ninth layer of the Snow Domain, the loss would outweigh the gain. His main flying artifact was the Flying Cloud Awl. It was the best tool for escaping.
However, it was unrealistic to put the Flying Cloud Awl away now. The harsh and cold environment in the ninth layer of the Snow Domain was beyond Qin Fen's expectation. Even with the protection of two Heavenly Flames, he couldn't hold on for long. Most importantly, he had to protect Hong Chen Wu. If Hong Chen Wu was exposed to the snowstorm, she would die soon.
"Master, try the Fire Spirit Crystals!" Little Pig suddenly reminded.
Only then did Qin Fen remember that he collected more than 10,000 Fire Spirit Crystals in the cave in the Insect Valley. However, some of them were used to upgrade the Spirit Sunflower Heaven Fire. Now, there were only more than 3,000 Fire Spirit Crystals left in the storage ring.
He immediately took out more than 3,000 Fire Spirit Crystals and piled them up in the resting room. When these Fire Spirit Crystals appeared, the temperature inside the Flying Cloud Awl skyrocketed. The hot air floated out through the vent and melted some of the ice on the surface of the Flying Cloud Awl.
This scene surprised Qin Fen. It seemed that the Fire Spirit Crystals were effective. He sat on the ground with his legs crossed and started to set up a formation. He used 1,000 Fire Spirit Crystals to set up a Fire Spirit Formation.
Two hours later, the Fire Spirit Formation was completed. Although it was Qin Fen's first time setting up this kind of formation, the effect was very obvious. The temperature inside the Flying Cloud Awl was maintained at 28 ° C, which was the most comfortable temperature.
Qin Fen didn't stop. He took out the three True Artifact Armors from the storage ring he got not long ago. He planned to add Fire Spirit Crystals into the armors to modify them into fire-elemental defensive armors.
Qin Fen was now at the level of a low-grade True Artifact Master, and he had a 20% chance of making a low-grade True Artifact. Moreover, he was only modifying the formed True Artifact Armors. This kind of work was not difficult for him.
Six hours later.
The three True Artifact Armors were successfully modified into fire-elemental defensive True Armors. Qin Fen immediately put on one of the True Artifact Armors. At this time, he found that the ice on Hong Chen Wu's body had completely melted, so he put on an armor for her as well.
Qin Fen finally let out a sigh of relief. With the help of the 3,000 Fire Spirit Crystals, he temporarily alleviated the crisis. However, thinking that he had used up the 3,000 Fire Spirit Crystals just like that, he felt a bit sad.
"Senior Qin, are we dead?" Hong Chen Wu woke up not long after she put on the armor.
Qin Fen hurriedly took out some medicinal pellets to consolidate True Core and handed them to her. He said, "We are not dead. Take the medicinal pellets first and adjust your True Core."
Hong Chen Wu's beautiful eyes were filled with shock.
When she entered the ninth layer of the snow region, she felt an irresistible aura of death. That feeling made her feel hopeless. She did not expect that Qin Fen would save her.
Hong Chen Wu immediately swallowed the medicinal pellets and meditated for a while. When she opened her eyes again, the skin that was not covered by the veil had regained its color.
"Senior Qin, what's the situation now?" Hong Chen Wu asked immediately.
Qin Fen had already checked the surrounding terrain. He found that along the way, there was nothing but barren mountains and snowy lands. There was not even a mountain in sight, let alone a cave to hide in.
This situation worried Qin Fen, because the energy supply of the Fire Spirit Formation could not last for long. Once the 1,000 Fire Spirit Crystals were used up, he and Hong Chen Wu would fall into a dangerous situation again.
"We need to find the Ice Heart Flame as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will freeze to death here." Qin Fen did not hide the danger they were in. He wanted Hong Chen Wu to be mentally prepared.
"Senior Qin, did you see Wang Liu Zhongming's group? Maybe they are also here to find the Ice Heart Flame. Why don't we follow them? "Hong Chen Wu said.
Qin Fen shook his head and said, "We did not see any living people along the way, but we did see a lot of dead people."
Hong Chen Wu did not understand what Qin Fen meant by "dead people," but she did not need to ask Qin Fen. When her Divine Sense swept out of the Flying Cloud Awl, the scene in the snowy lands shocked her.
"There are so many cultivators frozen to death in the ninth layer of the snow region. It seems that many people have been here. I wonder if the Ice Heart Flame is still here." Hong Chen Wu was worried.
In fact, Qin Fen had already considered this possibility. However, since they were already here, he wanted to search for more. It would not be too late to find an exit and leave when he really could not hold on.
The Flying Cloud Awl sped along without a destination.
Along the way, Qin Fen and Hong Chen Wu saw many cultivators frozen to death. Towards the end, they did not find it strange anymore.
However, the state of the ninth layer of the snow region gradually caused the two of them to despair. This place was like a boundless wilderness of snow. Not only were there no signs of life, but there wasn't even a single mountain or wild grass to be found.
"Wow! Senior Qin, that river is so beautiful! "
Hong Chen Wu suddenly cried out. Her beautiful eyes, which were not covered by her veil, were shining.
Qin Fen had also found the narrow river not far away. There was a stream flowing in the river. It was clear and bright, and it reflected some crystal light. It was mesmerizing.
However, Qin Fen quickly came to his senses. With a look of disbelief, he shouted, "This is not right! The ninth layer of the snow region is a world of ice and snow. Anything can be frozen. How can there be a stream flowing here? "
With his reminder, Hong Chen Wu suddenly came to her senses and said, "Yes! Why is there a river flowing here? What is going on? "
The two of them could not figure it out.
Qin Fen immediately increased the speed of the Flying Cloud Awl and flew towards the slowly flowing river. As they got closer to the river, the wind and snow around them became weaker, and the temperature increased.
"Senior Qin, I feel like the temperature outside has increased. Is it my imagination?" Hong Chen Wu said in surprise.
"It is not your imagination. Look carefully. The wind and snow above this river are very light. The temperature has increased, so the river is not frozen. I plan to fly under the river to take a look. Maybe I will find something," Qin Fen said.
