Chapter 2633: Chapter 1203: Inside the Tomb (2)
It turns out that if the Three Yin Destruction Array is set up on the Ice Spirit Vein, it will continuously refine ice spiritual energy into pure Yin cold flows, which is the purest form of pure Yin spiritual energy, containing the mysteries of creation. Only those who practice the corresponding cultivation techniques can refine it and use it for themselves.
In the past, the reason Ice Heaven and Snow Lands could ascend to a sacred land status was because of such opportunities.
The Nascent Soul cultivators of their sect can rely on the pure Yin cold flows to purify true qi and vital essence, removing the influence of Dan poison, thereby advancing their cultivation level rapidly.
“I see, if that is the case, then Jade Shatter True Monarch was somewhat selfish to take the Three Yin Destruction Array for his own Cultivating Void purposes.”
After hearing this, Chen Mobai merely commented with this sentence.
Though Han Xingzi and Luo Ying Shangren thought the same, they dared not agree and could only awkwardly change the subject: “Chen Sect Master, the gateway to the Ice-sealed Mausoleum has been opened, let’s enter.”
Chen Mobai looked at the entrance fixed by the Mysterious Yin Talisman in front of him, nodded, and stepped in first.
Seeing this scene, Han Xingzi and Luo Ying Shangren admired him inwardly, then followed closely.
After the three entered, the entrance held open by the Mysterious Yin Talisman suddenly contracted and disappeared.
Chen Mobai’s true body emerged from the void, and upon seeing the vanishing point, he understood all the intricacies.
The Mysterious Yin Talisman remained in its place, marking the entrance to the Ice-sealed Mausoleum, and would also be the only way out in the future.
Chen Mobai’s eyes glinted with spiritual brilliance, seeing through the essence of the Mysterious Yin Talisman.
This is a lower-grade sixth rank spirit talisman. Besides opening the Ice-sealed Mausoleum, it has other functions, but if used, it would be expended.
In comparison, the Three Veins of Ice Heaven would certainly prefer to preserve this talisman for long-term access to the Ice-sealed Mausoleum.
After observing the Mysterious Yin Talisman, Chen Mobai began using the Void Evasion Technique to sense ahead and soon perceived a void barrier.
He had a feeling that he could step into the Ice-sealed Mausoleum without the talisman being activated if he just took a step forward.
However, with the Heavenly Blessing’s warning, Chen Mobai certainly wouldn’t let his true body step in.
It’s better to let the Second Primeval Spirit explore thoroughly.
…
Upon entering the Ice-sealed Mausoleum, Chen Mobai felt as if he was stepping into air, his body continuously descending. He activated the fire pattern on the Pure Yang Immortal Robe, transforming it into a Flame Dragon to carry him, halting in mid-air.
The temperature here was much lower than the snow mountains outside, and any ordinary life entering would likely freeze instantly.
Looking around, Chen Mobai found himself above a lake surface, smooth and clear like a giant mirror, obviously frozen, reflecting the surrounding snow mountains, blue sky, and white clouds, giving off a unique sense of purity.
“Chen Sect Master, this is Mirror Lake, the outermost part of the Ice-sealed Mausoleum. The shoreline of Mirror Lake is a snow plain forest, planted with many precious herbs and exotic fruits. It was originally our most valuable medicine field of Ice Heaven and Snow Lands, but since it transformed into a mausoleum, we can only enter every 120 years, and each person can only take a small amount. There have been times when the Nascent Soul cultivators of Three Veins of Ice Heaven took too much and couldn’t leave.”
“Beyond the snow plain forest lies Snow Cloud Mountain, where the mausoleum is located. The highest point, Snow Cloud Peak, is where the founder failed at Cultivating Void and passed away.”
“To reach Snow Cloud Peak, you must pass through several ice caves called Illusion Color Spirit Caves, filled with mysterious mists, containing lost secret techniques from our sect’s predecessors.”
“After passing through the ice caves, one can climb towards Snow Cloud Peak along the Crystal Waterfall because flying is forbidden inside the mausoleum…”
Standing on the ice surface of Mirror Lake, Han Xingzi said this, seeing Chen Mobai flying mid-air on the Flame Dragon, swallowed his words.
It was clear that the flying restriction applied only to cultivators below the Divinity Transformation stage.
“If that’s the case, let’s follow the local customs.”
After hearing this, Chen Mobai dispersed the Flame Dragon and landed on the lake surface.
In fact, the Dao Morale Sect’s archives recorded these events. At that time, the Divinity Transformation experts from the Three Great Sacred Lands used the Xuanji Instrument above the heavens and earth to find this place, then entered the mausoleum led by Divinity Transformation from Taixu Miaomiao Palace. But as they approached Snow Cloud Peak, they discovered a terrifying freezing power enveloping everything.
It was this power that discouraged them.
After all, Jade Shatter True Monarch was a near-Ascendance cultivator. The power left by him before his death could potentially take down a Divinity Transformation cultivator.
Although Chen Mobai’s Second Primeval Spirit carried the sixth rank Primordial Yang Sword, it would be best to obtain the Dao Fruit without a fight. Also, this is someone else’s territory, so politeness is best.
“Chen Sect Master, please follow us.”
Seeing that Chen Mobai hadn’t planned to fly directly with them to Snow Cloud Peak, Han Xingzi was slightly disappointed but still focused and headed towards the snow plain forest on the shore of Mirror Lake.
Walking across Mirror Lake, Chen Mobai noticed under the frozen lake surface, translucent spirit fish were swimming alongside them. Han Xingzi introduced them as Cold Fish, boasting delicious taste and tender meat, an excellent spiritual object for cultivators practicing ice attribute techniques.
“Our Jade Shatter Hall also cultivates them. If Chen Sect Master wishes, I will send a hundred once we are out.”
Han Xingzi generously offered, and Chen Mobai nodded lightly, thinking these might enhance the Ice Spirit Root, suitable to bring back for his daughter and Yan Bingxuan to taste.
During the conversation, the three of them crossed Mirror Lake and approached the dense forest on the shore. The trees here were tall and sturdy, branches covered with thick snow, resembling a line of towering giants in silver armor. Occasionally, one could spot snow rabbits, snow foxes, and snow deer.
Chen Mobai’s glance swept over clusters of snow-white lotus flowers and semi-transparent crystal-like fruits emitting a fifth rank aura, undoubtedly spiritual objects over ten thousand years old.
“Chen Sect Master, each individual entering can take one fifth rank, three fourth ranks, and ten third rank… As a distinguished guest, you should take first.”
Han Xingzi spoke to him, following the Three Veins of Ice Heaven’s thousands of years of observation.
“In that case, I will not hold back.”
If Han Xingzi hadn’t mentioned it, Chen Mobai, as a moral exemplar, certainly wouldn’t have taken any, but now that the host suggested it, he smiled and picked a fifth rank snow white lotus, three fourth rank crystal fruits, and other spiritual objects.
These could be taken back to the Immortal Gate for Yuan Xu to refine into elixirs, more than enough for Yan Bingxuan and Chen Xiaohei to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Especially the fifth rank snow lotus, its medicinal properties were too potent for them, possibly needing to be refined petal by petal.
With Han Xingzi leading the way, they easily bypassed the array prohibitions within the snow plain forest and reached the towering snow mountains’ end.
Chen Mobai saw the highest point, Snow Cloud Peak, shrouded in thick clouds, seemingly guarded by a mysterious giant in the sky, while midway up the mountain, a pure white ice crystal waterfall cascaded, with pieces of transparent ice forming mid-air, crashing into the ground like the Milky Way descending to the mortal realm, extraordinarily beautiful.
Snow Cloud Peak, surrounded by snow mountains, required passing through multiple ice caves to reach without flying.
Following Han Xingzi and Luo Ying Shangren, Chen Mobai soon found a fork in the path.
“Chen Sect Master, these three cave entrances represent the Three Yin Dao Fruits, with inheritances related to our sect inside. Whatever you obtain depends on fate and comprehension.”
“I will head to the left Taiyin Cave, and Junior Sister will take the middle Mysterious Yin Cave.”
“Chen Sect Master can join us or take the Shaoyin Cave separately, but ultimately all lead to the waterfall at Snow Cloud Peak.”
Han Xingzi, afraid Chen Mobai would misunderstand and think they intended to segregate him, explained while pointing to the three fork cave entrances.
“Then let’s split up and each take a path.”
Chen Mobai pondered, confident in his comprehension to master the ice heritage thoroughly, thus splitting up would avoid fracturing Han Xingzi and Luo Ying Shangren’s Dao Hearts.
“Yes, we will meet again at Snow Cloud Peak.”
With these words, Han Xingzi stepped into the leftmost cave entrance first, and Luo Ying Shangren gave a slight bow to Chen Mobai before disappearing into the middle entrance.
