After the four of them left, Yi Tian returned to the ice castle alone. His objective was very clear; he was going to obtain the Millennium Glacial Ice.
As he walked along the corridor behind the main hall, he discovered that the surrounding temperature had plummeted, and a faint layer of white frost had appeared on the path.
After arriving at a tightly shut door at the end of the corridor, Yi Tian steadied himself before gently pushing the door open.
After a series of creaking noise, a bone-piercing cold wind blew out from the gap of the back door, blowing against Yi Tian's protective shield and making a sizzling noise.
Only after the cold wind had dissipated did Yi Tian push the door open, revealing a gap that was about three feet wide. He slowly made his way through the gap and into the hall. Yi Tian discovered that the hall was about 300 feet in radius and 200 feet tall. At the center of the hall was a huge block of white ice that was 15 feet tall.
It was emanating bursts of glacial Qi, and a thick layer of frost had covered the surrounding stone walls. The whole room was very strange. Other than the piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice in front of him, the surrounding walls were octagonal. There was a giant portrait carved onto each wall, and Yi Tian stepped forward to examine it, only to discover that four of the portraits depicted monks.
As for the remaining four portraits, three of them depicted spirit cultivators, and the last one depicted an Asura cultivator with three heads and six arms.
After 10 breaths of time, Tang Wulin's eyes swept over the murals, and his face was filled with shock as he discovered that all eight of them were Grand Ascension cultivators. Even Ancestral Master Wu Ye and Master Jie Ding, whom he was familiar with, were among them.
It was quite common to see such a massive portrait, and it was clear that all eight Grand Ascension cultivators had gathered here in the past to leave behind these portraits.
Tang Wulin was curious as to why all eight Grand Ascension cultivators had come together, and why some of them had even invited the mighty figures of the Asura Race. Yi Tian pondered this for a while, and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead. Even in such a cold environment, sweat was still pouring down his back.
The eight portraits were all facing the ten thousand-year-old ice in the middle. Perhaps there was some mystery behind it.
Walking up to the block of ice, he activated his Clear Spirit Dharma Eyes and stared at it, only to find that there seemed to be a black shadow sealed inside the ice.
With a thought, he hurriedly moved to the side and stared at the ice block in front of him.
From the looks of it, the thing sealed inside was probably not anything good. If he barged in for no reason and released it, he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with it.
After thinking about it, he decided to stop and think of a way to leave this place first. A wise man knew better than to stand in the presence of a collapsing wall, and he was still in awe of the items stored in the place where the eight Grand Ascension Stage cultivators were gathered.
But when he walked to the door, the door suddenly closed. The half-foot thick stone door closed with a creaking sound, completely sealing the room. Yi Tian stepped forward and tried to open the door, but he couldn't move the stone door at all.
Immediately thereafter, a wisp of azure spiritual light suddenly flashed from the piece of ice behind him, and it flew over to form a projection. Yi Tian turned his head and sized it up. He discovered that the illusory figure was actually a thirty feet long Azure Dragon. At this moment, it was raising its head and staring at him with bared fangs and brandished claws.
Kong Yun had once mentioned that a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator had a dragon-shaped spirit pet, but he didn't know what that had to do with this azure dragon.
All of a sudden, he sensed some movement in his storage ring, and after scanning through it with his spiritual sense, he discovered that there was movement in Bi An's beast pouch, which he had released from the Taiqing Pavilion.
Reaching out his hand to summon it, he saw it circling around the stone room a few times before landing beside him. It lifted its head and stared at the Azure Dragon's phantom image, saying, "Why have you come to the Great Thunder Zen Temple's Arhat Hall? What's with this Azure Dragon phantom in front of me? "
Yi Tian didn't beat around the bush, and he briefly explained his situation to Bi An before adding, "I'll be heading to the Great Lightning Temple after I'm done with these things. You can return to your old haunt then."
Bi An lowered its head and roared, then it stared at the huge portrait of Master Jie Ding, completely ignoring the azure dragon in front of it.
Yi Tian was speechless. He thought that it would be of some help after being released, but it seemed like it was completely useless.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon turned its head and stared at Suanni. After three breaths, it raised its head and let out a dragon roar. The dragon's might in its roar caused Yi Tian's heart to tremble.
After readjusting himself, Yi Tian silently chanted the Bodhi Concentrating Mantra to dispel the fear in his heart, then he slowly raised his head and locked his gaze on the azure dragon projection before him.
After a while, it spoke in human language, "Who are you, and why are you here? Where are Wu Ye, Jie Ding, and the others? "
Yi Tian's expression became serious when he heard that the azure dragon was able to name the two patriarchs, and he replied, "The patriarchs have already left. How should I address you, senior?"
"They've all left? Then who's going to fulfill the promise they made back then?" The azure dragon roared in exasperation.
Bi An turned his head and said to the azure dragon with a disdainful expression, "You're only a trace of a true spirit's divine sense. Be careful that you don't piss me off, or I'll devour your true spirit."
The azure dragon flipped around on the ice before it sneered, "You're only a mutant with a dragon bloodline. How dare you speak to me like that? If you were in the Immortal Realm and saw my true body, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to withstand my dragon's might. "
"Immortal Realm?" Yi Tian's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He didn't think that this true spirit's divine sense would have such a powerful background. It was clear that the eight Mahayana cultivators were plotting something when they gathered here. Even though he didn't know what had happened in the end, it seemed that the Azure Dragon divine sense had been summoned.
With regards to the behavior of the several Patriarchs who threw away their responsibilities, he was a hundred times displeased with them, but now was not the time to pursue this matter. He turned to the azure dragon true spirit, and said, "I am a disciple of the Mythical Flame Palace. Since you're a true spirit summoned by the patriarchs, why don't you submit to me? When the time is right, I'll send you back to where you came from."
Even though he didn't know the azure dragon's true power, he was sure that it had its own unique abilities to be able to recruit it.
The azure dragon true spirit harrumphed coldly, and said, "You're just a Severed Soul cultivator, yet you dare to say that you want me to submit to you? You're overestimating yourself."
It opened its mouth as it spoke, and a bolt of azure lightning came crashing down toward Yi Tian's head.
Yi Tian was enraged by this sudden attack, and he brought out his Dragonscale Shield to block the bolt of lightning. He then brought out his Purple Flame Wind Lightning Fan and waved it toward the azure dragon projection. The purple flames transformed into a flaming dragon that instantly surrounded the azure dragon.
Bi An yelled, "You're just a dragon soul that's infused with a trace of immortal spiritual energy. How dare you act so arrogantly in front of Grandmaster Jie Ding's disciple? You must be tired of living."
