"Sister Ning, look at them ….." The early-stage Eternal cultivator trapped in the corner of the ice cliff looked at Ning Cheng and Nalan Ruxue in disbelief.
Even without her reminder, the grey-robed female cultivator and the other two also saw Ning Cheng and Nalan Ruxue.
"How is this possible?" The grey-robed female cultivator stared at the dense Law Ice Blades bombarding Ning Cheng's Blue Thunder Fort. The Blue Thunder Fort's lightning arcs filled the sky, but it didn't budge an inch.
"What a powerful weapon." The early-stage Eternal male cultivator stared at Ning Cheng's Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort with envy.
The grey-robed female cultivator finally calmed down from the shock. She took in a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice, "No matter how good that weapon is, without the support of powerful celestial essence and spiritual consciousness, without any contact with laws, it would never be able to block the Defying Ice Blade containing laws."
"Sister Ning, let's ask him for a favour." The early-stage Eternal female cultivator spoke up eagerly. She had completely forgotten what she had said before.
The grey-robed female cultivator shook her head and did not ask for Ning Cheng's help. As a full-circle Eternal cultivator and a cultivator from a big sect, she naturally had her own pride. Previously, she had tried to persuade Ning Cheng not to enter the Defying Ice Mound. But now she had to ask Ning Cheng for help.
Ning Cheng and Nalan Ruxue also saw the four people trapped in the corner of the ice cliff. Nalan Ruxue did not speak, she did not know if Ning Cheng was willing to help, nor did she know if Ning Cheng had the ability to help.
Ning Cheng took the initiative to step forward and spoke, "If the few of you do not mind, you can come with us."
Ning Cheng had a good impression of this grey-robed female cultivator. Replaced with an ordinary cultivator, she wouldn't have cared if they lived or died after entering the Defying Ice Mound, let alone warn them.
She felt embarrassed to ask others for help, but now that Ning Cheng took the initiative to speak up, the grey-robed female cultivator naturally would not refuse. She quickly spoke up with gratitude, "Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother. My name is Kong Ning, and I come from River Luo Sacred Sect."
With that, she pointed to the other three people beside her and introduced them, "This is my Junior Apprentice Brother Tang Jinshe, and these two are Heaven's Pole Island's Senior Apprentice Brother Jing Xingwen and Junior Apprentice Sister Xie Zhilan."
Tang Jinshe was the early-stage Eternal male cultivator, while Xie Zhilan was the early-stage Eternal female cultivator. Jing Xingwen was at the late-stage Eternal Realm with a star on his forehead.
After Kong Ning finished her introduction, Jing Xingwen, Xie Zhilan and Tang Jinshe, the three of them, quickly cupped their fists and greeted her before entering Ning City's Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort.
"My name is Ning Cheng, and this is my friend Nalan Ruxue, a rogue cultivator." Since he and Nalan Ruxue had just arrived in the Grand Essence Ruins, it was always a good thing to get to know more people.
"You guys are rogue cultivators?" Tang Jinshe exclaimed in shock.
They had previously thought that Ning Cheng was a rogue cultivator. But when Ning Cheng's Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort blocked the Defying Ice Law Edge and could still move forward, they no longer regarded Ning Cheng as a rogue cultivator.
Since ancient times, there were indeed some powerful rogue cultivators, but the truly powerful cultivators had always come from the big sects. No matter how powerful a rogue cultivator was, it was impossible for him to be stronger than a cultivator from a large sect.
Ning Cheng just smiled and did not explain. He was originally a rogue cultivator, as such it was not worth mentioning.
Kong Ning spoke up with a slightly awkward tone, "I hope Senior Apprentice Brother Ning doesn't mind my arrogant words before."
"I naturally don't mind. Junior Apprentice Sister Kong Ning is doing this for our own good." Since Kong Ning called him Senior Apprentice Brother, he might as well call her Junior Apprentice Sister Kong Ning. No matter where one went, the strong would always be respected.
Kong Ning had the highest cultivation here, and since she addressed Ning Cheng as Senior Apprentice Brother, the others also had to address Ning Cheng as Senior Apprentice Brother.
With Ning Cheng's help, the six people walked out of the area ravaged by the Defying Ice Edge in just half a day.
Endless ice pits and ice packs appeared in front of everyone. Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness swept out but could only reach about a thousand miles before it couldn't extend any further.
In the middle of these ice pits and ice packs, three twisting ice roads extended into the distance, with no end in sight.
Fragmented Defying Ice Edges swept over, but these fragmented Defying Ice Edges had no effect on them. In the distance, the whimpering sounds of the ice blades and the roars of some unknown demonic beasts could be heard.
"Many thanks for Senior Apprentice Brother Ning's help. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, do you and Junior Apprentice Sister Ruxue want to go in from the left or the middle road?" After Kong Ning thanked Ning Cheng, she asked Ning Cheng which road they wanted to take to enter the depths of the Defying Ice Mound.
Ning Cheng asked in doubt, "Junior Apprentice Sister Kong Ning, why didn't you say the right road?"
Hearing Ning Cheng's words, Kong Ning's group of four froze for a moment. Then, Kong Ning asked, "Didn't Senior Apprentice Brother Ning purchase the introduction jade strip for the Defying Ice Mound before coming to the Defying Ice Mound?"
Ning Cheng frowned slightly. He truly didn't know that the Defying Ice Mound also had an introduction jade strip.
Seeing Ning Cheng's expression, Kong Ning understood that Ning Cheng truly didn't purchase such an introduction jade strip. She felt a little speechless. Was it because he was bold, or because he was ignorant and fearless?
Ning Cheng's ability was indeed the strongest Eternal cultivator she had ever seen. Therefore, she felt sure that Ning Cheng hadn't reached Dao Confirming Realm. Yet, as an Eternal cultivator, he could safely face the Defying Ice Storm and the endless Defying Ice Edges. This showed that he truly had the ability.
"Junior Apprentice Sister Kong Ning, please enlighten me." Ning Cheng quickly cupped his fists. If he knew that the Defying Ice Mound had an introduction jade strip, he would have bought one.
Kong Ning nodded and said, "According to legend, the Defying Ice Mound is the place where the Defying Ice Holy Emperor fell. The Defying Ice Holy Emperor's understanding of the ice-attributed laws had reached the pinnacle. After he fell here, his cultivation turned into endless ice-attributed laws. After these laws shattered, they formed the Defying Ice Edges. The Defying Ice Storm we encountered before was a sudden eruption of the Defying Ice Edges after accumulating them.
The spirit technique, the Extreme Violent Ice Sea, is one of the Defying Ice Holy Emperor's great spirit techniques. It is also a high-level spirit technique task in the Grand Essence Ruins' Quest Hall. In fact, there is another thing in the Defying Ice Mound, the Defying Ice Bead. The Defying Ice Bead has a high price, and it can help cultivators with ice-attributed spiritual roots comprehend the ice-attributed laws. We came here for the Defying Ice Bead this time. But the task we took wasn't issued by the Grand Essence Ruins' Quest Hall, but a task issued by our sect. "
"What does this have to do with the ice road on the right?" Ning Cheng asked in confusion.
"Because the road on the right had undergone a mutation due to the decomposition of the ice-attributed laws. As a result, endless Defying Ice Beasts were born on this road. The Defying Ice Beasts are worthless, but they are extremely ferocious. All of them were born under the mutated laws. A Dao Sculpting powerhouse once went there to take a look, but the Defying Ice Beasts besieged and killed that Dao Sculpting powerhouse. In fact, apart from the Defying Ice Beasts, there is nothing of value on the road on the right. Therefore, it has no meaning other than danger.
The true inheritance of the Defying Ice Holy Emperor lies in the middle road. Many cultivators who explored the Defying Ice Mound found some ice-attributed spirit techniques here. Some people even found the bones of the Defying Ice Holy Emperor here. So if Senior Apprentice Brother Ning wants to go, don't go to the right road. "Kong Ning spoke with sincerity.
This was the first time Ning Cheng heard that the laws of heaven and earth could mutate. Law-related spirit techniques were created under the influence of the grand laws. If the laws mutated, what would happen to the laws?
"Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Sister Kong Ning, for reminding me. But I still plan to go to the right." Ning Cheng thought about it for a while and decided to go to the right.
As a starry sky cultivator in the Eternal Realm, Ning Cheng already knew that spirit techniques involving laws were much more powerful. He had already come into contact with the Laws of Space and the Laws of Time. Although they weren't very profound, they could already kill opponents at a higher level. The mutated laws of heaven and earth in the Defying Ice Mound allowed some low-level Defying Ice Beasts to kill Dao Sculpting powerhouses, which made him very interested. He even wanted to know if he could comprehend this mutated law under the influence of the mutated laws.
Besides, he also had the means to protect himself. No matter how many Defying Ice Beasts there were, he still had the Time Wheel. The Time Wheel didn't fear besiegement. It didn't matter if one came or a group came.
Seeing Ning Cheng insist on going to the right, Kong Ning had no choice but to speak up. "Then I wish Senior Apprentice Brother Ning good luck. This is my communication pearl."
After exchanging communication pearls, the six people went their separate ways.
… …
As Ning Cheng and Nalan Ruxue went deeper and deeper, more and more Defying Ice Blades appeared around them. Ning Cheng had the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort, so no matter how many Defying Ice Blades there were, it wouldn't affect his speed.
The further they went, the colder the road became. Ning Cheng could already feel that this coldness was a little different from ordinary ice. This coldness seemed to have seeped into one's soul and started to mutate. Although this coldness had seeped into one's soul, it gave off a strange feeling. Although one's body felt a bone-piercing cold, one's essence spirit felt a unique heat.
Ning Cheng looked back at Nalan Ruxue and found that Nalan Ruxue didn't look particularly uncomfortable. It stood to reason that Nalan Ruxue would find it difficult to adapt to this situation. But although the Blue Thunder Fort blocked the Defying Ice Blades, the aura of the laws caused by the mutated laws didn't change.
"Junior Apprentice Sister Ruxue, do you feel a particularly strange coldness? Cold on the outside but hot on the inside? Moreover, it's that strange kind of heat? "Ning Cheng asked in doubt.
"No, I just feel a little chill. It's not like what you said ….."
Nalan Ruxue hadn't finished her words when an earth-shattering roar rushed over.
"Defying Ice Beasts ….." Ning Cheng looked at the endless transparent demonic beasts in front of him. Even with the Time Wheel, he still felt his scalp tingling. These Defying Ice Beasts looked like galloping wild horses, and the aura coming from them felt similar to the strange coldness Ning Cheng had felt before. They hadn't even arrived in front of Ning Cheng, nor had they even launched an attack. But the aura coming from them made Ning Cheng feel very uncomfortable.
Not waiting for these Defying Ice Beasts to attack, Ning Cheng shot out a dozen Time Wheels. The Time Wheels swept out with a faint greyish wheel light.
Ning Cheng felt confident in the Time Wheels' area-of-effect killing ability. Moreover, these Defying Ice Beasts didn't seem to be very strong. As the Time Wheels swept out, it would be a flat land, and no matter how many Defying Ice Beasts there were, they would still turn into nothingness.
But when the Time Wheels swept through the Defying Ice Beasts, Ning Cheng suddenly felt dumbfounded. His Time Wheels couldn't even kill a single one of the Defying Ice Beasts, apart from knocking them down. The Time Wheels immediately rushed into the Defying Ice Beasts, but the effect wasn't much different from the previous ones. But because of the impact force, a few Defying Ice Beasts ended up shattering.
