Chiyang School's Ice Soul Cave was only opened once or twice a year.
The entrance trial of the outer sect was only once. Other than that, it was rare for someone to go there.
Inner sect disciples at the Foundation Establishment stage liked to cultivate in the lava cave, and outer sect disciples at the Qi Refinement stage were unwilling to come here.
Therefore, the guards were not strict. Usually, only disciples at the ninth level of Qi Refinement stage were on duty.
Yi Tian learned this from Gao Shou, and most of the disciples at the ninth level of Qi Refinement stage were unwilling to do it.
Although the contribution points were low and the time was long, there were orders from above. Therefore, all outer sect disciples at the ninth level of Qi Refinement stage had to be on duty.
However, many people went there to change shifts, and then ran outside to find people to drink tea and chat or go home to cultivate.
Three days later, before the handover time, they went there an hour earlier to change shifts with the next person.
After receiving two bottles of wine from Yi Tian, Gao Shou directly sold himself out and even said that he would be on duty.
Yi Tian used the excuse of entering the cave to cultivate and asked Gao Shou to let him sneak in the next shift. He only needed to cultivate for a day or two before coming out.
At first, Gao Shou looked at Yi Tian strangely until the two of them drank a pot of tea in the Rain-Admiring Pavilion.
Yi Tian told him that he wanted to try and see how much his cultivation had improved before he chose the Ice Soul Cave. Only then did Gao Shou reveal a look of understanding.
After setting the time with Gao Shou, Yi Tian went home to prepare.
After reaching the third level, the fat dog had been bullied by Huang Ziang. When Yi Tian came back, it became arrogant and didn't even look at the meat Huang Ziang brought.
Yi Tian also needed the fat dog's help, so he fed it a certain amount of food every day. Gradually, the fat dog's body became strong again, but it didn't become fat.
After checking his storage bag and spirit beast bag, Yi Tian stepped out of the door. Today, he would go to the third level of the Ice Soul Cave to find out what was going on.
Gao Shou's shift was at noon. Yi Tian arrived a quarter of an hour later and saw Gao Shou alone in the thatched hut at the entrance.
Seeing Yi Tian come, he hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "You can't exceed the time limit. You must come out before noon three days later. If you come out early, use your sect's identity jade card to leave a message for me. Don't make me worry. If you cause any trouble, you have to deal with it yourself. Just say that you snuck in while I was resting. "
Yi Tian nodded repeatedly to indicate that there was no problem, and also promised that he would not cause him any trouble.
However, he felt a burst of disdain in his heart for pushing everything to him. How could a disciple at the seventh level of Qi Condensation sneak in under the nose of a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Condensation? Didn't he think twice before bragging?
Helplessly, he could only listen to Gao Shou's nagging. Finally, he waved goodbye to Gao Shou with a happy smile.
After Gao Shou left, Yi Tian was the only one left in the Ice Soul Cave.
Looking around, Yi Tian took a deep breath and strode into the passageway on the first floor of the Ice Soul Cave.
After walking into the passageway, Yi Tian felt that it was not as cold as last time. Even after walking to the first floor, he still felt waves of cold air blowing against his face.
Now, he could actually run while enduring the cold air.
At the entrance to the second floor, Yi Tian touched the cold air with his hand. A thin layer of frost appeared on his hand, and he only felt a bit cold.
After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that it should be because it was noon, so the cold air had not come yet.
After slowly walking to the second floor, Yi Tian began to activate the protective barrier to keep the cold air outside.
Under a layer of green light, Yi Tian walked forward step by step. Relying on his memory from last time, he slowly found the entrance to the third floor.
Compared to last time, Yi Tian could now walk at a normal speed on the second floor.
Fortunately, the second floor was not big, and he found the entrance in half an hour.
In front of the entrance to the third floor, Yi Tian felt a bone-chilling cold air coming from below.
Now, the wood element protective barrier could no longer withstand the cold air.
Yi Tian could only use two types of spirit qi at the same time to resist the cold wind, but the consumption was twice as high as normal.
Looking at the pitch-black cave entrance, Yi Tian's heart was pounding. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and walked down.
The passageway to the third floor was very long, and it was a spiral that led all the way to the third floor.
After walking for a long time, light appeared in front of him. Yi Tian steadied his footsteps and shrunk the protective barrier to human form to save spirit qi.
After walking out of the passageway and arriving at the third floor, he looked around. This was a small cave with a radius of one meter. The surrounding ice pillars were upside down, but he did not see anything strange.
In the center was a square platform. There was nothing on the platform, and it looked like a large praying mat.
The surrounding stone walls were also covered with sparkling and translucent ice chains. Yi Tian looked at them and was greatly disappointed.
It was not easy to come here, but he did not find anything.
There was also a place that Yi Tian noticed was different. There was a line of words carved in front of the ice platform. Yi Tian went forward to take a closer look. The words were: "Master Scarlet Sun cultivated here for three days and succeeded in building his foundation."
It turned out that the Yuanying Patriarch of Chiyang School had come here when he was in the Qi Refinement Realm and succeeded in building his foundation.
However, it was said that Master Scarlet Sun had been in the Yuanying Stage for three hundred years. This meant that these words were left behind at least four hundred years ago.
However, the cultivator in Yi Tian Mountain's banyan tree hole had been dead for at least a thousand years and left a clue under the praying mat. It clearly wrote "Ice Soul Cave Bottom".
After coming back to his senses, Yi Tian pondered for a moment. The key was the word "" before the word "".
If Master Scarlet Sun had come here four hundred years ago, he should have found something.
However, looking at the surroundings, there were no traces of destruction. Master Scarlet Sun should not have taken those things.
Yi Tian became excited. This was not the bottom of the Ice Soul Cave. There was another level below.
It was likely that the passage had been sealed, or there was some mechanism that had not been discovered.
After analyzing the surroundings, Yi Tian began to search the surroundings. However, he could not find any clues even after a long time.
Looking at the ice room, Yi Tian felt a little discouraged. He sat on the ice platform in the middle.
Then, he took out a few spirit stones from his storage bag and began to meditate.
Maintaining the protective barrier for a long time consumed a lot of spiritual energy. He needed to rest.
Yi Tian, who was meditating, suddenly felt cold air surging out from the surroundings. He estimated that it was about midnight.
This was the time when the cold air was the strongest. An endless stream of cold air was coming out from the ice platform.
Yi Tian looked around. This was a square area of two feet. The layer of ice was clearly harder than other places. Could the source of the cold air be below the ice platform?
Yi Tian was excited. However, he still had to give it a try.
As he thought about it, he stood up and looked at the ice platform in front of him. He gathered fire spiritual energy in his right hand and a fireball appeared.
He slowly pressed the fireball onto the ice platform. However, he discovered that the layer of ice did not melt at all.
When he tried to place the fireball on the stone wall, the ice immediately melted when it came in contact with the heat.
There was something strange about this ice platform. The entrance should be below the ice platform. However, how could he break open the layer of ice?
Even the fireball technique was useless. It was difficult to break it open.
Yi Tian paced back and forth in front of the platform. He was only one step away from finding out the secret of this place. However, this step was blocking his path.
He asked himself if he was really not fated. However, if he was not fated, how did he find Yi Huashan's Banyan Tree Hole?
After staring at the ice platform for fifteen minutes, a thought suddenly flashed through Yi Tian's mind.
Since it belonged to the Profound Yang Sect, it would naturally be left for its direct disciple.
Didn't he already have the key to open it? He just hadn't used it yet.
Yi Tian looked at the ice platform in front of him and smiled. He extinguished the fire in his hand and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.
When he suddenly opened his eyes, a golden light flashed in his eyes. He took out the Profound Yang True Fire.
Although it was only an inch long golden flame, it was enough.
When the True Fire on his fingertip approached the ice platform, a two-foot-long crack slowly appeared on the thick ice in response to the flame.
Yi Tian did not care about anything else. He directly rushed in. When he turned around, he discovered that the ice had returned to normal.
If he was on the third floor, he would see that the ice platform had not changed at all.
When he turned around, Yi Tian saw a talisman engraved on the back of the ice. He immediately understood that this was a formation used by the Profound Yang Sect to preserve their items.
Since he was here, he could not waste it. He casually took out a spirit stone from his storage bag and used his divine sense to copy the formation.
The passage was only wide enough for one person. The further Yi Tian went, the colder the air became. Thus, he had no choice but to increase the strength of his defensive barrier to the maximum.
The Spirit Qi in his body was rapidly consumed.
After a quarter of an hour, he already felt that he had consumed more than half of the Spirit Qi in his dantian.
He thought that this was not good. If he continued to walk like this, he did not know where the end was. If he did not have enough Spirit Qi, he was afraid that he would die here.
Looking at his spirit beast bag, he patted his right hand and summoned the fat dog. He hoped that Huang Ziang did not lie to him.
After a white light, the fat dog stood next to him. Yi Tian looked at it and did not see anything different.
While he was thinking, he suddenly saw a change on the fat dog. A white light film suddenly appeared and covered Yi Tian.
The coldness on his body suddenly felt less strong. Yi Tian smiled at the fat dog. He held the end of the rope and took the dog for a walk.
He did not need to consume so much Spirit Qi. Yi Tian wanted to speed up.
He took out two bottles of Grand Passion Wine from his storage pouch, opened the lid, and drank them all in one go.
He felt that the wine in his stomach turned into bursts of Spirit Qi and entered his dantian. The Spirit Qi that was originally consumed was replenished.
Yi Tian felt that his dantian could now accommodate more Spirit Qi. But the wine was too strong. If he drank it again, he was afraid that he would be drunk here.
Holding the fat dog, Yi Tian continued to walk forward. After a quarter of an hour, he reached the end.
After entering, there was a small ice cave. Yi Tian saw the icicle in the middle. He was happy.
There was something in the icicle. Yi Tian tied the fat dog to one side, took out the bull meat from his storage bag and threw it to it.
Then he walked to the icicle. A wisp of golden flame approached the icicle. After the icicle quickly melted, a simple circular ring appeared.
This time, Yi Tian was overjoyed. Could this be the storage ring that the Armament Masters were talking about?
He caught the falling ring with his hand. He squeezed a drop of blood from his fingertip onto the ring. He used his divine sense to look inside.
There was a large space inside. It was about a thousand feet in radius.
However, there was only a jade scroll floating in it. Beside it was a broken ancient mirror about the size of a palm.
He took out the scroll and read it. On it was written Li Fire Sect, Mystic Yang True Fire and Jin Dan Nine Revolution Art.
Yi Tian was overjoyed. The Mystic Yang True Fire was a complete set of techniques that could be cultivated to the Yuanying stage. It was a secret technique of the Li Fire Sect.
And the Jin Dan Nine Revolution Art was not simple just from the name. Now was not the time to look at it in detail. He had to find a place where there was no one around to study it.
Putting the scroll back into the storage ring, he looked at the mirror again.
Although it was a little damaged, there were no traces of time on it.
The front was a bright mirror, but the frame did not seem to be original. There were two words on the back.
However, Yi Tian could only make out the word 'Tian'. There was another word that he could not make out.
He could study it in the future. It should be the Li Fire Sect's keepsake mentioned in Lin Yi's letter.
If there was a chance in the future, he would go to the Middle State's Li Fire Sect to investigate it.
He transferred the Spirit Arts and some valuable items from his storage bag into the ring.
Now, the storage bag contained his own artifacts, the sect's jade token, Spirit Stones and the jade box with the seal.
After wearing the ring, Yi Tian noticed that the ring had turned into a flame tattoo on his finger. If he did not look carefully, he would not have noticed it.
