On the second day, He Yiming met with the guests from the Ice Palace in the same room again.
This time, Zhuo Wanlian was not alone. Apart from the Ice Palace's Venerable One, Li Mingxuan, even Ai Wenbin was present.
The 2 of them had unusually grave looks on their faces. When they sat opposite He Yiming, He Yiming could even feel the enormous pressure in the air.
The pressure was not intentionally exerted by the 2 Venerable Ones, but it was a natural and special pressure brought about by their grave attitudes.
In the room, He Yiming and Yuan Lixun were the only ones who accompanied the 3 of them.
As for the other people from Mount Heng, they were "chased" out by He Yiming. He made it clear that this was his decision, and he would not implicate the entire Mount Heng lineage.
Even if he offended the 2 Venerable Ones at the same time, he would not let the Mount Heng lineage get into trouble.
Once both parties were seated, He Yiming bowed and cut to the chase. "Venerable Ones, you're probably here because of Lixun, right?"
"That's right," Li Mingxuan answered without any hesitation. She looked up and spoke very gently. "Lixun, follow me to the Ice Palace. I guarantee you as a Venerable One that you'll surely become an ice-mastery Venerable One."
Yuan Lixun nodded. "Thank you for your kindness, Master."
She sounded cold, and she did not seem to be grateful at all. However, everyone knew that this was because Yuan Lixun had just started practicing the orthodox ice cultivation method. If she were to wait for her cultivation to improve, she would be able to control the extreme cold in her body as she wished. Then, this situation would not occur.
However, it was not enough. It was evident that she could not reach that step in a short period of time.
Li Mingxuan smiled and asked, "Have you decided to go to the Ice Palace with me?"
Yuan Lixun's face revealed a rare look of embarrassment. She turned her head and looked at He Yiming.
At this moment, He Yiming gently played with the Five Elements Ring in his hand. He was not showing off his power to these people. Instead, he was slowly infusing the Five Elements True Qi into the Five Elements Ring, comprehending the mutual promotion and restraint changes within.
This was also a method he had learned from the Metal Elemental Insights book. Using the Fire, Earth, and Metal Elemental Techniques to sense the Qi of Heaven and Earth, it would bring indescribable benefits to comprehending the Metal Elemental Force.
Since He Yiming had the Five Element Ring, he naturally had to make use of it. However, the method he used was slightly different from what was described in the book.
Every time, he would start with Water-elemental True Qi. When he climbed to Metal-elemental True Qi, there would be a climax of a breakthrough. Every experience was like a cycle of reincarnation, allowing He Yiming to experience many things. After experiencing the benefits, He Yiming held onto the Five Element Ring at all times, unwilling to let it go.
Ai Wenbin and Li Mingxuan also looked at He Yiming. At first, they did not think much of it, but gradually, their gazes were drawn to the Five Element Ring.
In their senses, the Five Element Ring was like a strange world of reincarnation.
The power of the five elements circulated endlessly in this world, but there was an intersection point for each cycle. At this intersection point, there was the highest peak. Once the zhenqi passed the critical point, it would undoubtedly return to the lowest point. It would slowly accumulate strength from the lowest point, forming a new round of impact. Moreover, it would constantly accumulate and absorb new strength, once again reaching the critical point.
They quietly sensed this strange small world and finally confirmed that every time the Metal-elemental True Qi reached its strongest point, it would reach the critical point.
When they thought of the Three Flowers on He Yiming's body, they looked at each other and immediately understood why He Yiming was doing this.
Ai Wenbin sighed deeply and said, "He Yiming, you really did not disappoint me. In ten … Yes, within a few years, you will definitely be able to condense the Golden Flower and achieve Gathering of the Five Elements."
He originally wanted to say that He Yiming would be able to condense the Golden Flower within ten years.
However, he suddenly remembered that he had made the same evaluation last time, thinking that He Yiming would be able to condense the Earth Flower within ten years. However, he did not expect that He Yiming would be able to condense the Earth Flower during his battle with Xiong Wuji in just a few months.
This speed surprised him, and at the same time, it also made him doubt his own eyesight.
Therefore, he immediately changed his words and said that Ye Xiwen would be able to condense the Golden Flower within a few years. Regardless of whether it was within a year or ten years, it was within a few years to them.
Li Mingxuan and the others looked at him strangely. Ai Wenbin blushed and continued, "He Yiming, you heard what Venerable Li said. What do you think?"
He Yiming raised his head and said slowly, "Venerable Ai, I still want to know why the Ice Palace is sparing no effort in nurturing Lixun." His expression was very serious as he continued, "One more thing, Lixun is only cultivating Ice-elemental True Qi now. How can she achieve Three Flowers at One's Prominence?"
Li Mingxuan snorted, as if she was mocking his shallowness.
"He Yiming, I know that you have unparalleled talent in the cultivation of martial arts. However, you are still too young and don't know much about the common knowledge of martial arts."
He Yiming nodded and said, "This junior is indeed inexperienced. Please enlighten me, senior."
Li Mingxuan was slightly stunned. She did not expect He Yiming to be so humble as to accept her advice. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, among the five elements, water-elemental cultivation techniques are the most unique. They are all-inclusive, just like rivers flowing into the sea. They have endless possibilities. "
He Yiming and Yuan Lixun listened attentively at the same time.
"Water is the most wonderful thing in the world. It exists in different ways," Li Mingxuan said in a mellow voice. She seemed to be intoxicated by it as well. "When it freezes, it becomes ice; when it melts, it becomes water; when it is hot, it becomes mist. For the Ice Palace, as long as one has the talent of one of the three elements, they can evolve into the other two through different methods. In the end, they can achieve Tripod Convergence. "
He Yiming was dumbfounded. He asked, "Senior Li, doesn't that mean that any water-elemental cultivator can become a Venerable One with the Three Flowers at One's Prominence in the end?"
Li Mingxuan responded snappily, "Theoretically, that's right, but how can ordinary cultivators succeed? Only those with outstanding talent can split one into three, then combine the three into one." She paused for a moment, then continued proudly, "Everyone knows that one must first condense the Three Flowers to form a Tripod Convergence. However, very few people know that the flowers of the three elements — ice, water, and mist — are different, but they come from the same origin. Once the Tripod Convergence succeeds, one's power will far surpass that of ordinary Venerable Ones at One's Prominence. "
He Yiming was moved. He asked casually, "Senior, if Lixun can achieve Tripod Convergence, how will it compare to my power of the five elements?"
Li Mingxuan was dumbfounded and speechless.
After a long time, she smiled bitterly and said, "The Five Elements at One's Prominence and the One Line at One's Prominence are famous in history, but which one is better …" She suddenly waved her hand and continued, "It's actually a simple question — you and Lixun can compare them after you become Venerable Ones. Won't you find out?"
Ai Wenbin and Zhuo Wanlian nodded at the same time. They did not doubt that He Yiming and Yuan Lixun could not become Venerable Ones at all.
He Yiming was moved. He asked, "Senior Li, did you use those three elements to advance?"
Li Mingxuan looked regretful. "I'm not talented enough, so I thought about it too, but I couldn't do it. What a pity, what a pity …"
He Yiming was regretful too, but he thought, 'Fortunately, you didn't achieve the One Line at One's Prominence, or it'll be too difficult for me to surpass you in the future.'
Li Mingxuan had a grave look on her face again. "As for why the Ice Palace and the Heavenly Pool Mountain treat Lixun like that, I can only tell you that it's related to her Extreme Cold Physique. That said, please believe me — since I've accepted Lixun as my disciple, I won't harm her. "
He Yiming furrowed his eyebrows. His spiritual sense could sense the sincerity in Li Mingxuan's words, but how could he easily believe such an illusory promise?
Ai Wenbin let out a long sigh and said, "He Yiming, I know you have misgivings, but I can promise you on behalf of the Heavenly Lake's main faction that Venerable Li did not lie to you. Besides, letting Miss Yuan go to the Ice Palace is the best choice for her. "
He Yiming raised his eyebrows. To him, Ai Wenbin was much more important than Li Mingxuan. Since the elder was willing to vouch for him, what was there to worry about?
Nevertheless, he still had a glimmer of hope. "Senior Ai, can I not know the details?"
Ai Wenbin hesitated for a while before he answered, "I promise you that as long as you can become a Venerable One, I'll tell you the truth the next time we meet."
He Yiming sighed. At the end of the day, he was still not capable enough.
If he had succeeded in achieving the Prominence Convergence and became one of the Venerable Ones, would he not have known the inside story?
He Yiming and Yuan Lixun looked at each other when he turned around.
Slowly, He Yiming nodded his head.
When he did that, Ai Wenbin, Li Mingxuan, and Zhuo Wanlian sighed breaths of relief at the same time.
"Lixun, you must cultivate to become a Venerable One as soon as possible during your trip to the Ice Palace. When we meet again, I'd like to see if the Five Elements Convergence is more powerful or if the so-called Convergence of One Branch is more brilliant," He Yiming said loudly.
The faces of Ai Wenbin and the others changed slightly. He Yiming's words actually revealed a strong self-confidence.
He meant that he wanted to comprehend all of the Five Elements Flowers and successfully condense the Five-element Ring before Yuan Lixun did.
Although the others did not doubt that he would achieve that one day, it would not be easy for him to do it before Yuan Lixun did.
However, after seeing He Yiming's expression at this moment, everyone had a strange feeling in their hearts at the same time.
Perhaps, this man could really create this miracle … (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
