Since someone had already visited these places, how could there be anything good left?
In that case, there were not many left. There were a total of ten half-step Emperor Wu -level forbidden lands, four Emperor Wu -level forbidden lands, and only one Sovereign Martial Emperor-level forbidden land.
"Ao Jiao, help me check the periphery first and choose a route for me." Xiao Chen did not have much time. Right now, he needed to comprehend the Taiji Dao and the Saber Domain, which focused on the saber. Any time he could save would be a gain.
Ao Jiao flew out of the Immortal Spirit Ring and grabbed the map. She smiled and said, "Leave it to me."
After saying that, Ao Jiao silently flew out like a dancing spirit. As Xiao Chen watched her leave, his lips curled up in a faint smile.
--- On an island in the deep sea that led to a crack in the Demonic World, Chu Chaoyun sat cross-legged with a sword on his back. His eyes were closed as if he was waiting for someone.
"Whoosh!"
After a while, a Wind Demon wrapped in a golden shield spread its wings and flew through the sky at lightning speed, moving even faster than a meteor. The air could not stop it at all.
Chu Chaoyun opened his eyes and entered deep thought. "He failed?"
"Even with Feng Ziyi working with Yao Manlan, he could not obtain the remaining half of the Sky Dome Heart. It looks like he returned. What a coincidence. However, this is fine as well. If this Feng Ziyi really obtained it, it will be much more troublesome for me to retrieve it in the future. "
Revealing a smile, Chu Chaoyun slowly stood up and paced around.
Since only one person returned, it meant that Yao Manlan was captured. This was a major matter. Xiao Chen wondered what Leng Yue would do. Yao Manlan could be considered her disciple. Interesting.
After this failure, the Bushin Palace should be on guard. The eighteen Demon Monarchs would probably not send more people to make a move.
However, great chaos was about to descend. This storm could not stop.
"I should make my final preparations. Ten thousand years is a cycle. I really look forward to the final battle with you. Don't die so early."
After learning that Feng Ziyi did not obtain the Sky Dome Heart, Chu Chaoyun was in a good mood. His figure flashed, vanishing from the island.
…
There were ten half-step Emperor Wu Grade forbidden lands in the Sky Dome Immortal Realm. Due to Ao Jiao's advance scouting, Xiao Chen only spent half a month to explore them all. Other than killing a few difficult Xuan Beasts and obtaining a few Xuan Cores, he had gained nothing.
He hadn't even seen a small magical power, let alone a great magical power. As for an even stronger supreme magical power, there was no need to even dream about it.
Ten failures with nothing to show for it had severely dampened Xiao Chen's spirits. Before this, he was filled with anticipation. Who would have thought that this would be the result?
Magic Skills were hard to find. Even though this was once the Sky Dome Immortal Lord's residence, it was too difficult to find it after millions of years.
"There are also four Emperor Wu -level forbidden areas. I hope I won't come back empty-handed."
Following the map, Xiao Chen arrived at the first Emperor Wu -level forbidden area.
An icy lake appeared in Xiao Chen's line of sight. Cold Qi assaulted him, but it did not freeze. It was incredibly mysterious.
"I could not endure this icy lake after descending to one kilometer. I did not receive any attacks, but I did not obtain any information," Ao Jiao said.
Xiao Chen frowned and said, "This temperature is very harmful to the body. Even the Emperor Wu Golden Body cannot endure it completely. It is already very incredible that you could descend to one kilometer."
"In that case, you only have a half-step Golden Body. Isn't that even worse?"
"Hence, I can only stay in there for half a day at most. After that, I have to leave."
"Splash!" Xiao Chen fell into the lake. The first one hundred meters were fine. After five hundred meters, he had to circulate his energy to protect his body.
After one kilometer, cold Qi invaded his body. Aside from circulating his energy to protect his body, Xiao Chen also had to deal with this cold Qi. However, it was fortunate that the cold Qi did not increase in intensity. He could still endure it as long as it did not persist for too long.
After descending for three kilometers, Xiao Chen finally stepped on the ground. The ground was covered with a thick layer of ice, which was very solid.
In the lake, Xiao Chen knocked on the ice, but there was no sound at all.
He turned his head and looked around. In this lake, there was a kind of crystal-clear ice fish. They were not large in size and looked very docile. There were many of them, and they did not seem to be afraid of Xiao Chen. They swam above and around him without any scruples.
"There's nothing here. It looks like I came here for nothing again."
Xiao Chen stood up, creating a series of bubbles and gurgling sounds. However, this fish was not bad. Perhaps he could catch a few and roast them. They would definitely be delicious.
Being able to live in such a cold place, there might be other unexpected miraculous effects.
In this Emperor-level forbidden land, aside from the extreme cold, Xiao Chen did not find anything special. He had already lost interest and could only set his sights on the ice fish.
"Hey, hey, this fish is so cute. Why do you want to eat them?" In the end, this suggestion caused Ao Jiao to protest.
Xiao Chen directly ignored it. When he really roasted them, that foodie Ao Jiao would definitely be drooling.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Xiao Chen reached out and grabbed an ice fish that passed by him. In the end, his hand slipped, and the fish's tail gently swayed, slipping out of his hand.
"I actually failed to catch it. However, since I'm here, I definitely can't return empty-handed."
Xiao Chen was very patient. In the end, the ice fish slipped out of his hand several times, and he could not hold it at all.
Moreover, these ice fish were not afraid at all. They even spat at him.
"I don't believe that I can't catch them!"
Xiao Chen was a little angry. He released a trace of killing intent in his heart, and it began to spread in the lake.
"Whoosh!"
However, it did not matter. The following situation made Xiao Chen afraid.
The moment he released his killing intent, the entire bottom of the lake suddenly quietened down. Tens of thousands of ice fish stopped swimming. They turned their heads and looked at him silently. No matter how one looked at it, this situation seemed a little strange.
"Ao Jiao, why do I feel that something is wrong? My skin feels like it's on fire, but I don't feel any pain at all."
Xiao Chen rolled up his sleeves and took a look. He saw a layer of frost on his skin. With a gentle touch, large patches of frost fell off. Even his bones could be seen.
This scene made his face pale. His hair stood on end, and he felt a chill run down his back.
Earlier, the ice fish did not spit saliva. It was clearly an extremely high-grade ice fire. Even his half-step golden body could not withstand it. "Tu!
Tu! Tu! "
Tens of thousands of ice fish opened their mouths at the same time. Streams of saliva-like ice fire shot at him like bullets.
Xiao Chen was scared half to death. He had never panicked like this before. He executed his Movement Technique to the extreme and quickly swam up.
Fortunately, the shoal of ice fish did not chase after him. After they chased him away, the bottom of the lake regained its calm.
Xiao Chen, who was covered in ice and fire, broke out of the water. When he landed, he immediately activated the Solar True Flame in his right eye and covered his entire body, eliminating the layer of fire on the surface.
After that, he spent a lot of effort, even using his Primordial Energy, to eliminate all the ice and fire in his body.
Fortunately, he discovered it early, and the ice and fire did not seep into his meridians or internal organs. Otherwise, he would have been in big trouble.
Ao Jiao could not stop laughing at Xiao Chen's embarrassing state, scolding him.
"Who told you to be greedy? I already told you not to catch those ice fish. Now you know the consequences, right?"
Xiao Chen felt somewhat embarrassed. After being chased away by a shoal of ice fish that looked down on him, he did not have the face to argue.
However, Xiao Chen's interest in this Cold Water Lake intensified.
He had never heard of an ice fish that could spit fire. Furthermore, it was such a mysterious ice fire. What exactly made this shoal of ice fire change?
When Ao Jiao saw Xiao Chen preparing and wanting to go back into the water, she quickly stopped him. "Hey, you still want to go down? Are you really unwilling to die without being able to eat fish?"
Xiao Chen smiled. "Silly, am I that greedy? There is definitely something strange about this Cold Water Lake. Have you ever heard of an ice fish that can spit fire?
"However, if there is an opportunity, I will definitely catch a few. My instincts tell me that the ice fish are delicious. Furthermore, they have other uses."
"Tsk, you are still greedy."
No matter what, Xiao Chen went back into the water again. This time, he learned his lesson and did not expose his killing Qi.
The gentle ice fish ignored Xiao Chen. Perhaps it was because the shoal of ice fish was too strong and did not fear him at all.
Xiao Chen walked on the ice at the chilly bottom of the lake, calmly observing the shoal of ice fish.
When one looked at the peaceful bottom of the lake, one would find it very beautiful.
The water plants swayed gently with motes of spiritual light. The gentle and beautiful shoal of fish swam around. If Xiao Chen were an ink painter, he would definitely use a brush to properly record this beautiful scene.
Aside from the ice fish, there were no other large creatures at the bottom of the lake. This shoal of ice fish was the absolute tyrant of the vast lake bottom.
Just think about it. Even Xiao Chen had to retreat after the shoal of ice fish flared up, leaving in a sorry state. What Profound Beast would dare to provoke them?
"How cold! Half a day is almost up, and I have not discovered anything. I have to go back up."
Xiao Chen wanted to stay behind. However, the cold Qi was too strong, injuring his body. He could not stay for long.
However, the moment Xiao Chen swam up, he discovered that the entire shoal of fish were swimming quickly in one direction. They were not panicking. Instead, the shoal of fish gave off a cheerful aura.
"I should have stopped looking for food."
"Whoosh!" Xiao Chen leaped out of the lake water and casually dried his clothes. Then, he sat down cross-legged and started to expel the cold Qi in his body.
"Let me see what exactly this cold Qi is. Why is it so powerful?"
With a thought, Xiao Chen sent all the cold Qi in his body to his palm. A misty mist came out of his right palm. However, after all the cold Qi was expelled from his body, it slowly gathered into a flame.
The mist in his palm slowly condensed into a flame, exactly the same as the ice fish's saliva.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up as he entered deep thought. "The flame in the ice fish's body is indeed not innate. It has something to do with this lake."
Xiao Chen, who was even more determined, dove into the water once more. Then, he followed the direction that the ice fish swam to where they were looking for food.
There was a patch of grass giving off motes of light. The branches and leaves of the water plants were covered with something that looked like dew, giving off a cold spiritual light.
The food of the ice fish was this dew. As the ice fish ate, the motes of light dwindled.
"What is this?" Xiao Chen asked in shock.
Ao Jiao's eyes lit up. "How beautiful! Quickly, swim over and take a look."
Xiao Chen felt equally anxious. However, he still retained his rationality. "Be careful. For this place to be known as Emperor Wu's forbidden land, it is not that simple."
