The aerial savage beast landed on the ground, and the four alighted from it.
It was snowing on the mountain, and even the weakest of them, Zhao Ya, had reached Half-Transcension. Even though the weather was chilly, it didn't affect them much.
Tidying his clothes, Zhang Xuan turned to look at the Glacier Plain Court.
From afar, he only thought that the palace looked majestic, but upon closer inspection, he realized how massive it was. It spanned over a thousand meters, and its height reached several dozen meters, reminiscent of the residence of a giant.
Before him was a ten-meter-tall door. It was hard to tell what material it was made of, but it felt heavy and heavy.
"Myriad Kingdom City's Kang Gan is here as promised. I hope that Court Chief Wu can meet him!"
Pavilion Master Kang walked up to the door and took a deep breath. Then, his voice echoed loudly.
Jiyaya! A moment later, the door opened. Opening up, a few figures walked out. They were all white-robed ladies, and one of them walked up to Pavilion Master Kang. "Pavilion Master Kang, the court chief has issued an order. Please enter!"
"Thank you!"
Nodding his head, Pavilion Master Kang led the group in.
While walking, Zhang Xuan glanced at the female disciples. They seemed to be in their twenties, but their cultivation wasn't weak. All of them were at Transcendent Mortal 3-dan.
To possess such cultivation at such a young age, they could be considered as the cream of the crop even in Myriad Kingdom City.
The lady who had just spoken was even a Transcendent Mortal 3-dan pinnacle cultivator. Her white robe reflected on the snowy ground, giving her a cold and lonely aura.
Upon entering the Glacier Plain Court, Zhang Xuan immediately felt the spiritual energy in the air becoming more active. It seemed as though it would seep into one's pores at any moment, making one's cultivation much easier.
"What active spiritual energy!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Even though the concentration of spiritual energy here was roughly the same as the outside world, it was exceptionally active. Even if one didn't intentionally guide it, it would still seep into one's pores to temper one's body and purify one's cultivation, thus increasing one's cultivation speed.
This was just like how water under pressure would flow faster into a canal than stagnant water.
Given how powerful these ladies were at such a young age, it seemed like they would be able to cultivate with half the effort. Even though this wasn't a place filled with spiritual energy due to the formation, it was still a blessed land for cultivation.
The further in they went, the more active the Spirit Qi became, giving people the urge to sit down and cultivate.
To have such a feeling before even seeing the Yin-Yang Lake, it was no wonder why Pavilion Master Kang had paid such a huge price to fly here.
Inside the palace, not only were there white-clothed women, there were also some red-clothed women. They were all women, but their bodies were not as cold as the former. Instead, they were as hot as fire, giving people a strong explosive feeling.
"These are the yang art and yin art cultivators of the Glacier Plain Court, and they are imparting the purest single-attribute cultivation techniques!"
Noticing Zhang Xuan's doubts, Pavilion Master Kang sent him a telepathic message.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Even without Zhang Xuan saying anything, Zhang Xuan was able to see through the crux of the matter with his Eye of Insight.
The woman in the fiery red robes cultivated fire attribute or yang attribute cultivation techniques. Her true qi was scorching hot like flames, which was why she gave people a strong feeling of explosiveness. As for the woman in white who was leading them, she cultivated cold attribute cultivation techniques. She was serious in speech and manner, giving people a feeling of being thousands of miles away.
Different cultivation techniques would give people a completely different feeling.
"The Yin-Yang Lake can be divided into the Yang Lake, Yin Lake, and Mixed Area. Only those who cultivate the corresponding cultivation techniques can manage them."
Pavilion Master Kang continued.
Zhang Xuan was astonished.
When he heard of the Yin-Yang Lake previously, he thought that it was just the name of a blessed land. However, from the looks of it now, it wasn't that simple.
After walking for a moment, the woman leading the way stopped and said, "The palace master is inside. Please come in."
Pavilion Master Kang and the others walked in.
It was a spacious room. The decorations in the room weren't extravagant, but rather simple. A woman was seated at the very center of the room, looking at them with a calm expression.
Since the other party was looking at them, Zhang Xuan also turned his gaze over.
The woman before him seemed to be in her thirties. However, her beauty didn't leave too many traces on her face. Her jet-black hair paired with her snow-white robes made her look like a figure from a painting.
Of course, even though she was beautiful, she still paled in comparison to Zhao Ya. After taking a look, Zhang Xuan began to assess her cultivation.
Her aura was concealed within her body, making it difficult for others to detect it. However, Zhang Xuan felt a sense of danger from her. This was especially so for his soul. It felt as though even the Martial Soul hidden within his body could be easily seen through.
"Could it be … Consonant Spirit realm?"
Zhang Xuan thought.
The feeling that the woman before him gave him was clearly stronger than that of Alliance Head Zhao, Xue Yiyao, and Pavilion Master Kang. The three of them were Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle experts, and they were even more formidable than them. Most likely, they had already broken through that bottleneck.
At Transcendent Mortal 5-dan Consonant Spirit realm, one's soul would be enhanced significantly, and one's affinity with nature would be enhanced.
An expert of this level would be able to wield immense strength with just a wave of his hand.
"Eye of Insight!"
Activating his Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan took a look, and with a single glance, he couldn't help but frown.
Pavilion Master Kang stepped forward and clasped his fist with a smile.
"Court Chief Wu, I trust you've been well!"
It seemed like even Pavilion Master Kang, as a 4-star pinnacle master teacher, didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of her.
"I trust you've been well! These are the people you've chosen to enter the Yin-Yang Lake? "
Court Chief Wu replied. Then, her eyes fell on the crowd, and she frowned. "Why are there three of them?"
"It's like this. These three are the most outstanding talents of the younger generation, and I couldn't make a choice. Thus, I brought all of them here in hopes that Court Chief Wu can make an exception and allow them to enter the Yin-Yang Lake!"
Pavilion Master Kang hurriedly explained.
"I believe that you should understand the rules of our Yin-Yang Lake. Two slots means two slots, and that's it!"
Court Chief Wu waved her hands as though a cold lump of ice. She didn't care about their past relationship at all.
"This … Alright then!"
Seeing how firm the other party was, Pavilion Master Kang knew that there was no point in arguing. Thus, he could only shake his head with a bitter smile. Turning to Court Chief Wu once more, he asked, "May I know how the examination is going to be conducted? I'll have them prepare for it!"
"It's simple. As long as they can walk out of my Room of Ice and Fire, they'll be considered to have passed the examination!" Court Chief Wu replied calmly.
"Room of Ice and Fire?" Pavilion Master Kang frowned. Even he wasn't too sure what that was.
"The Room of Ice and Fire is a unique examination item of our Glacier Plain Court. Just like the Will Inquisition Stone, when one drips one's blood into it, one's mind will be tormented by ice and fire. If one can withstand the torment and find a way out within two hours, they'll be considered to have passed the examination! If they can't, they'll be disqualified! "
Court Chief Wu explained.
The crowd nodded.
They were still wondering what kind of examination it would be, but to think that it would be a mental tempering.
This kind of examination had to do with one's willpower, not one's cultivation.
"I hope that you can make a decision as soon as possible!" After explaining, Court Chief Wu continued.
"There's no need to make a decision. Ruohuan, you don't have to participate in the examination!" Pavilion Master Kang instructed.
"Yes …"
Ruohuan gongzi's face was bitter.
Even though he was unwilling to accept the result, he could only nod his head in agreement.
As a master teacher, one had to respect one's teacher. His teacher's orders couldn't be disobeyed.
Just as Ruohuan gongzi was feeling despondent, thinking that he had lost an opportunity, Zhang Shi's voice suddenly sounded, "Wait a moment!"
After which, he turned to the lady before him and asked, "Court Chief Wu, may I know the requirements for all three of us to participate in the examination?"
Hearing the interruption, Court Chief Wu frowned in displeasure. "Pavilion Master Kang, these are the juniors you brought here? Since when is it the right of a junior to interrupt the conversation of an elder? "
"Zhang Shi …"
Not expecting the other party to suddenly speak up, Pavilion Master Kang couldn't help but turn to Zhang Xuan anxiously.
Even though there were only two slots, there was still a chance. If he were to infuriate the other party, this opportunity would be gone.
Even though his standing in the League of Nations was high, before the Glacier Plain Court of the entire Miryu Empire, a Transcendent Mortal 5-dan expert like him paled in comparison to a mere hall master of a branch.
"Just because one is young doesn't mean that one is a junior. Just because one is old doesn't mean that one has lived a long life in vain … How about this, Court Chief Wu, I'll give you a chance … I'll offer you my guidance in exchange for a slot. What do you think?"
Ignoring Pavilion Master Kang's anxiety, Zhang Xuan looked at him impassively.
"What?"
Pavilion Master Kang and Ruohuan gongzi's vision darkened, and they nearly spurted blood.
Zhang Xuan had already warned them not to spout nonsense on the way here. Court Chief Wu wasn't an easy person to get along with …
Didn't you see that even Pavilion Master Kang had to tread carefully around her?
You're giving her a chance by offering her your guidance … The heck, putting aside the fact that you've just become a 4-star master teacher, even the 4-star pinnacle Pavilion Master Kang isn't qualified to do so!
After all, the other party was a Transcendent Mortal 5-dan expert. Regardless of whether it was in terms of cultivation or knowledge, she was superior to all of them. For a fellow who had just reached Transcendent Mortal 2-dan to speak like that … Aren't you afraid of being pummeled to death?
"Offer me your guidance?"
As expected, upon hearing those words, Court Chief Wu's eyebrows furrowed, and a powerful aura burst forth from her body, leaving one shuddering. "You offer me your guidance? You're giving me a chance? "
"That's right. You only have this one chance, so you must make good use of it. Otherwise, I won't be able to offer you any guidance in the future!"
Ignoring the aura emanating from the other party, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"Zhao Ya, hurry up and persuade her …"
Seeing how Zhang Shi was getting more and more ridiculous, Ruohuan gongzi's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Zhao Ya.
He knew that Zhang Shi valued this student of his, and perhaps, her words might be of some use to him.
"Alright!"
Zhao Ya nodded. Stepping forward, she said, "Court Chief Wu, my teacher is right. This is an opportunity, so you mustn't miss it. Otherwise, you'll surely regret it!"
"The heck …"
Ruohuan gongzi nearly spurted a mouthful of blood.
Big sister, I told you to persuade your teacher not to spout nonsense … Why are you persuading Court Chief Wu with such a solemn expression?
Don't miss it, you'll surely regret it …
Aren't you putting too much trust in your teacher?
For a Transcendent Mortal 2-dan master teacher to say such words to a Transcendent Mortal 5-dan expert without the slightest hint of embarrassment …
Where did the two of you get your confidence from?
"You …"
Court Chief Wu was on the verge of exploding from anger. Flinging her sleeves, she bellowed, "Pavilion Master Kang, I'll have to trouble you to take him away. Our Glacier Plain Court doesn't welcome such an arrogant person!"
