Shielding Senses
"You guys are much faster than I expected."
Inside the room, Ouyang Ba smiled when he saw Ning Yue and Li Tongtian walking in.
Ouyang Ba was well aware of the dangers that Ning Yue and Li Tongtian had encountered along the way. He had even arranged some of them himself.
Initially, he thought that no matter how strong Ning Yue and Li Tongtian were, they would only arrive here after half an hour.
Who would have thought that Ning Yue and Li Tongtian would arrive so quickly? No wonder he was shocked.
"Your Majesty, you're not going to let us stay here for a day and a night, are you?" Ning Yue looked around the room and said with a frown, "This place isn't very helpful for cultivation."
Although the Vitality in this room was relatively dense, it was only two to three times denser than the outside world. It was a far cry from the Dan-Martial Pool.
Just like the Dan-Martial Pool, the Ice Mansion was a sacred place for cultivation.
With such a low density of Vitality, it was at most equivalent to the forbidden area of a second-rate clan. Calling it a sacred place for cultivation was unworthy of its name.
"Of course not."
Ouyang Ba shook his head and said, "This room is only the entrance to the real Ice Mansion."
As he spoke, Ouyang Ba came to the desk and touched it with his palm.
Creak!
Following that, a creaking sound was heard. The wall opposite Ning Yue suddenly caved in.
Gasp!
As soon as the wall caved in, Ning Yue's heart was in turmoil. His entire body was trembling uncontrollably.
"Ning Yue, what's wrong?"
Li Tongtian asked confusedly when he saw Ning Yue's reaction.
Li Tongtian knew that with Ning Yue's strength, there was no way he would be frightened by a wall caved in.
"I'm fine." Ning Yue took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down.
Li Tongtian was right. A wall caved in was naturally not enough to frighten Ning Yue.
The reason why Ning Yue was alarmed was because the Red Devil had told him that a golden crystal ball in his storage ring was glowing!
The golden crystal ball was obtained by Ning Yue when he was in Danwu College. To be more precise, he had obtained it from the hands of the first dean of Danwu College, Wei Zongtian in the Danwu Pool!
Wei Zongtian's words were still fresh in Ning Yue's mind.
"This crystal ball has a special characteristic. As long as you get close to the real Wu Chi Realm, it will emit a golden light."
Danwu College had the Dan Pool and the Martial Pool. However, the Dan Pool was still around, while the real Martial Pool was missing.
The purpose of the golden crystal ball was to find the real Wu Chi!
"Is the real Wu Chi Realm in here?" Ning Yue stared at the tunnel that appeared because of the hole in the wall.
"There's a chance!"
Ning Yue's action caused Ouyang Ba's eyes to flicker with excitement.
However, the excitement disappeared as soon as it appeared. No one noticed it.
The next moment, Ouyang Ba said in a deep voice, "When we enter the tunnel later, remember to follow behind me. Don't touch anything."
Ouyang Ba took the lead and entered the tunnel as soon as he finished speaking.
Behind him, Ning Yue and Li Tongtian exchanged glances with one another before following closely behind him.
Cold!
Very cold!
Extremely cold!
The moment they entered the tunnel, Ning Yue felt a chill assaulting him.
"This is the initial chill. You'll be fine as long as you can endure it."
Ouyang Ba's words echoed in Ning Yue's ears in a timely manner.
Hearing this, Ning Yue frowned slightly. He immediately unleashed his Qi and wrapped it around his body. Whoosh!
Whoosh!
A sizzling sound was heard as the chill and the Qi came into contact.
However, after the sound, the chill on Ning Yue's body was swept away and completely disappeared.
Seeing that Ning Yue's action was effective, Li Tongtian also unleashed his Qi and wrapped it around his body.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Obviously, Li Tongtian had also managed to resist the terrifying chill.
"Speed up!"
After passing through the area where the chill was, Ouyang Ba yelled in a deep voice, "There's a sea of fire ahead. You have to pass through it within three minutes!"
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Ba increased his speed and disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the sea of fire in front of him, Ning Yue hesitated for a moment before he clenched his teeth and charged forward.
As for Li Tongtian, he also increased his speed to the maximum in an attempt to pass through it as soon as possible.
Hot!
Very hot!
Extremely hot!
The moment he entered the sea of fire, Ning Yue felt a terrifying scorching aura coming at him, causing him to feel suffocated.
Luckily, Ning Yue's Qi was more vigorous. He quickly dispersed the scorching aura and accelerated with all his might.
In the first minute, Ning Yue had gone through one-third of the journey!
In the second minute, Ning Yue had gone through two-thirds of the journey.
In the third minute, Ning Yue dashed out of the sea of fire!
"This …"
After coming out of the sea of fire, Ning Yue was stunned on the spot. His eyes were wide open and his face was filled with confusion.
In front of him was a huge pond. The water in the pond was milky white.
A cultivator was standing in front of the pond. It was none other than Ouyang Ba, the current emperor!
Thereafter, Ning Yue looked left and right. However, he did not see Li Tongtian.
Could it be that Li Tongtian was killed?
At the thought of this, Ning Yue's expression turned gloomy and he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I want to know where Li Tongtian is now."
"Hehe, I forgot to tell you. There are two ponds in the Ice Manor. One is here and the other is where Li Tongtian went."
Ouyang Ba was not angry at Ning Yue's question. Instead, he smiled and said, "Don't worry. Li Tongtian's identity is rather special. I can't possibly kill him."
Ning Yue was stunned and asked, "Who exactly is Li Tongtian?"
"I can't tell you that for now." Ouyang Ba shook his head and said, "If you want to know Li Tongtian's real identity, you can ask him yourself when you leave this place."
Although that was what Ouyang Ba said, there was something that he did not say.
"Once you've used up your usefulness, you can have a good rest."
Ning Yue had no idea what Ouyang Ba was thinking. His gaze was locked onto the pond in front of him.
At the same time, Ning Yue unleashed his senses to investigate the bottom of the pond.
"Don't waste your energy. You won't be able to reach the bottom of the pond unless you enter it."
Ouyang Ba calmly said as if he knew what Ning Yue was trying to do, "It's because there's a protective barrier at the top of the pond. The barrier is specifically designed to block the senses."
"I see. It seems like the barrier is similar to the stone door at the entrance of the Inner Palace."
After hearing Ouyang Ba's explanation, Ning Yue finally came to a realization.
Not long ago, when his senses came into contact with the stone door, it was devoured.
This time, although his senses were not devoured, they could not penetrate it at all.
"I'm leaving. Good luck."
At that instant, Ouyang Ba smiled at Ning Yue and said, "I'll be back in a day and night. I hope your strength will improve significantly by then."
