Little Amulet and Zhang Xuan were communicating through zhenqi telepathy, so it went without saying that Heung Kensei was unaware of it. He thought that his son had only gotten so excited because he had mentioned that the painting might be the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn.
Just that … it had already been several minutes since he had spoken to Zhang Xuan about the painting, and yet, he was still smiling so brightly.
"Xuan-er …"
Fearing that Zhang Xuan would burst into laughter, Heung Kensei could not help but call out to him.
"Un!" Zhang Xuan quickly recovered from his daze. "Father, Mother, we must obtain this painting!"
He was still some time away from reaching Ancient Sage, but his parents had already reached Sempiternal realm consummation, and they could take the final step at any moment now. If he could obtain the painting and advance his cultivation to Ancient Sage, he would be able to hide under their protection and live a carefree life as a young master!
"Alright!"
Hearing their son's words, the two of them nodded in agreement.
Weng weng weng!
While they were speaking, under Zhao Ya's relentless attacks, the seal on the painting began to waver, and it seemed as if it would break at any moment.
"It's almost done!"
Upon seeing this sight, the eyes of the eight young men lit up.
Kacha! Kacha!
Just as everyone was preparing to break the seal and enter the painting to retrieve the core, the sound of ice shattering echoed from the painting. The frozen river was beginning to melt.
"This is bad. We need to hurry up. Once spring comes, the freezing aura in the painting will be rendered useless!"
A young man shouted. He walked up to Zhao Ya and infused a surge of pure zhenqi into her body to help her break the seal.
The others also seemed to have realized what was going on as well, and they quickly rushed up to Zhao Ya and infused their zhenqi into her body through a unique method, speeding up the process of breaking the seal.
"Spring comes in the painting? Could it be that the seal on the painting has something to do with the seasons in it? "
Knowing that Little Amulet knew a lot about the matter, Zhang Xuan continued asking.
"The Canvas of Four Seasons revolves around the four seasons, so the seal has to be different in order to conceal the energy of the world. They must have deduced that it is winter right now, and that's why they decided to capture you. Winter corresponded to the seal of the ice attribute. The Pure Yin Constitution was just right. However, once spring comes, the spring seal will be reborn. Without this kind of power, it's impossible to break it! "
Little Amulet said.
"Now that the ice and snow have melted and the river has been cleared, spring should be here soon. Should we go over to help and break the seal first?"
Zhang Xuan.
He had no idea how to break the seal on Spring, but rather than failing to solve it when the time came, he might as well help him deal with it now. As for the final victor of the painting, it would depend on one's strength.
With five Monarchs and so many weapons, no matter how powerful the eight experts of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers were, there was no way they would be a match for them.
"You came to the Hall of Great Accomplishment from the world of ice and snow. Do you think it's just a coincidence?"
Little Talisman snorted.
"This …" Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before his eyes lit up in realization. "In the painting, it's currently winter, and there's snow everywhere. Could it be that …"
With such a thought in mind, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and the Glacial Ice Crystal that he had placed on the altar appeared in his palm.
At this moment, the Glacial Ice Crystal was no longer as frigid as before. Instead, it carried a warm feeling, as if it was in the midst of transitioning into spring.
"I see …"
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
The so-called world of ice and snow wasn't accurate. More accurately, it was the world of four seasons.
Here, one could experience the true transformation of the four seasons.
It was just that when he entered the world of ice and snow, it just so happened that it was already winter.
It was the Glacial Ice Crystal that he was holding in his hand. If he hadn't taken it away, the world of ice and snow would have melted, and the earth would have warmed up as well.
"This Glacial Ice Crystal is the key to breaking the seal!"
Little Amulet said.
"Un." Seeing that it was as he had guessed, Zhang Xuan nodded. He looked at Little Amulet doubtfully and asked, "Didn't you say that you didn't know anything? Why are you suddenly so clear about it? "
That fellow didn't know anything when he first entered the world of ice and snow, but now, he was able to speak so confidently. If he knew about it in advance, why didn't he mention it earlier?
"It's likely that Kong Shi has sealed my memories. Only by entering the corresponding hall will I be able to recall everything. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to recall anything at all. For example, if you are asking me what other halls there are in the Temple of Confucius other than the Hall of Great Accomplishment, I have no idea at all," Little Amulet replied.
"Alright then …" Zhang Xuan sighed helplessly.
But that was to be expected. Even with the Prime Amulet in his hand, he would still have to rely on luck in order to obtain the treasures left behind by Kong Shi. Otherwise, wouldn't all of the treasures have ended up in the hands of a single person?
"With this Glacial Ice Crystal, I should be able to decipher the seal on the Glacial Ice Crystal.
Since that's the case … "Knowing that he had an advantage over the others due to having entered the world of ice and snow, Zhang Xuan turned his gaze to the Hundred Schools of Philosophers and the others who were in the midst of deciphering the seal, and his lips crept up.
At this moment, eight young men were standing in a row behind Zhao Ya. One after another, they infused all of their zhenqi into her body, causing a steady stream of cold energy to crash furiously against the seal. It seemed as if the seal would break at any moment.
"Since you have taken Zhao Ya away and prevented her from hearing my voice, don't blame me for getting nasty!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as he calculated the timing. With a swift movement, his silhouette morphed into a streak of lightning as he flew right above the crowd.
He had even ignited the bloodline of the Zhang clan. Before anyone could react, he was already right above Zhao Ya.
"Seal!"
Zhang Xuan flicked his finger.
The zhenqi that the crowd had infused into Zhao Ya's body was immediately severed and sealed within her body.
Boom!
The zhenqi of the eight young men remained within Zhang Xuan's body, as if they were infusing their zhenqi into her body.
In an instant, countless zhenqi surged through her meridians, and her strength rose steadily.
Kacha! Kacha!
In less than two breaths, her cultivation had already reached Sempiternal realm consummation.
"Teacher …"
With her breakthrough, Zhao Ya felt as if she had overcome some kind of bottleneck. She woke up, and when she saw Zhang Xuan floating above her, her eyes lit up.
"Seal the zhenqi in your body first. Save it for when you're pushing for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage!"
Knowing that Zhang Xuan had not used up all of the zhenqi in her body, Zhang Xuan imparted the method to her before explaining.
The eight young men who had imparted their zhenqi to her were all Sempiternal realm consummation cultivators. With their combined zhenqi, even though Zhao Ya was pushing for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage, there was still quite a bit of her zhenqi remaining.
In the spirit of not wasting it, Zhang Xuan instructed Zhang Xuan to seal the zhenqi in her body so that she could use it in the future.
"Zhang Xuan, you're courting death!"
Not expecting that the zhenqi that had helped Zhao Ya to decipher her zhenqi would be left in the latter's body to raise her cultivation, the eight young men felt so furious that they could explode at any moment.
