This special space where the Ice Ancestor Symbol is stored has always been very stable due to the guarding of the Heaven Gate. Otherwise, the Seven Kings Hall would have been able to directly enter and take the Ice Ancestor Symbol away.
Ying Huanhuan was able to confirm this when she entered this space.
Under the suppression of the Heaven Gate, the power of ice and snow in this space has always been stable. Normally, blizzards are impossible, especially blizzards rolling in from the sky, carrying extremely terrifying destructive power, which is definitely not naturally formed.
Almost instantly, Ying Huanhuan could be sure that this blizzard was definitely man-made.
"Dogs of the Demon Prison? It seems Lin Xuan took the initiative to stop them!"
Ying Huanhuan murmured. She didn't think that Lin Xuan, with his terrifyingly extreme perception, would not be able to detect the existence of the Ice Ancestor Symbol. However, the time he chose to come in was not the closest location, indicating that he was not coming for the Ice Ancestor Symbol from the beginning.
This 'for' does not mean wanting to collect the Ice Ancestor Symbol, but rather that Lin Xuan was not there to protect the Ice Ancestor Symbol, or rather, he believed that Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu could take the Ice Ancestor Symbol away.
Therefore, from the moment he came in, he was there to intercept the people from the Demon Prison, to prevent great damage during the process of refining the Ice Ancestor Symbol due to the Demon Prison's lackeys.
Such thoughts flashed quickly in her mind. Ying Huanhuan looked at the surging 'snow wave' and subconsciously turned her head to take a look. She saw that Ling Qingzhu was sitting cross-legged beside the stone pillar, her aura very calm, but the power of ice and snow was very active.
Obviously, Ling Qingzhu was at a critical moment and could not be disturbed. Otherwise, the refining of the Ice Ancestor Symbol would fail, all previous efforts would be wasted, and Ling Qingzhu herself would suffer a great backlash.
And Yan knew the importance of Ling Qingzhu, and Ying Huanhuan, as the Ice Master, also knew it. In fact, she felt that Ling Qingzhu was even more important than her, because Ling Qingzhu, like Lin Xuan, had both entered the Supreme Induction Sutra.
For Lin Xuan, Ling Qingzhu's help was definitely greater than hers. Perhaps, if Lin Xuan and Ling Qingzhu cultivated together, they might have a chance to gain the approval of the Plane of Origin, thereby ending this catastrophe!
Ying Huanhuan glanced at Ling Qingzhu with firm eyes, and the secretly competitive thoughts she had before were gone. She turned her head to look at the surging blizzard, gritted her silver teeth secretly, and then gently raised her left hand.
"Buzz!"
A special wave emanated from the palm of Ying Huanhuan's left hand. Then, the ancient inscription on the palm of her hand lit up slightly. The next moment, a ray of light flew out from the palm of Ying Huanhuan's hand and turned into a white gate.
The moment the white gate, which looked like some kind of special rock, appeared, a special and majestic aura spread from the stone gate. Then, a special light white halo emitted from the stone gate, enveloping the entire Altar.
When the lightcover formed, the blizzard, carrying the momentum of a thousand miles, also rushed in mightily, and in Ying Huanhuan's solemn expression, it slammed into the lightcover.
"Boom!"
The thin layer of light white curtain seemed so weak and helpless under the surging blizzard, as if it would be immediately broken through in the next moment.
However, the light curtain, which looked precarious and seemed to be about to shatter in the next moment, stubbornly stood there, blocking all the wind and snow outside.
It seemed that the noise of the world was completely blocked by the thin light curtain, leaving Ling Qingzhu a clean and peaceful world.
However, there was no ease on Ying Huanhuan's face, and it was even more solemn.
Although it seemed that the power of the Heaven Gate blocked all the blizzards, only Ying Huanhuan herself knew how powerful the surging blizzard contained. The reason why she could hold on now was because the Heaven Gate was, after all, a divine object with powerful power, and also because of the characteristics of the blizzard.
The blizzard is somewhat similar to the waves. The power that erupts in the first time is certainly very powerful, but the continuous and endless burst of power that follows is the most terrifying thing.
As time passed bit by bit, although the thin light curtain still stubbornly blocked all the wind and snow outside, the flickering light indicated that Ying Huanhuan was about to be unable to hold on.
Even as the Ice Master, Ying Huanhuan found it difficult to use the strength of the Nirvana Realm to block such a powerful force, especially since Ying Huanhuan had to protect this Altar in order to prevent Ling Qingzhu from being disturbed while refining the Ice Ancestor Symbol.
Already struggling to protect herself, she also had to distract herself to protect the huge Altar. Being able to support it for so long was all thanks to Ying Huanhuan's control over power and her understanding of the power of ice and snow, so dealing with it was much easier than ordinary people.
"Why isn't it over yet?"
Ying Huanhuan, whose face was a little pale, felt the nearly exhausted Origin Power in her body and became secretly anxious.
The Origin Power in her body was about to run out. If Ling Qingzhu did not come out of seclusion, Ying Huanhuan could only choose to revive the power in her body to help Ling Qingzhu through this tribulation.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The surrounding wind and snow bombarded the crumbling light screen, and the roars that erupted made Ying Huanhuan's eyes even more determined.
Feeling the Origin Power in her body that was already running out, Ying Huanhuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps this was fate. She was the Ice Master. No matter how much she wanted to hide it, she would always be the Ice Master.
"Alas!"
She sighed with regret. Although she was unwilling to become the cold and aloof self she once was, Ying Huanhuan didn't want him to get hurt, and she didn't want him to get injured even more. She didn't want this world to ultimately be defeated, and she didn't want to see him looking powerless.
Ice-blue light began to gather in Ying Huanhuan's eyes, and an ice-blue snowflake appeared in the pupils of Ying Huanhuan's eyes.
The Origin Power that had been squeezed out intermittently from her body was finally exhausted. Just as the light screen was about to dissipate, just as Ying Huanhuan wanted to revive the power in her body so that she could prop it up again at the moment the light screen disappeared, a heavy force suddenly came from behind her. In Ying Huanhuan's astonished gaze, it poured into the light screen that was about to shatter.
"Buzz!"
As the heavy force poured in, the light screen, which had been crumbling, suddenly shone brightly and instantly became solid.
Ying Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look. She saw Ling Qingzhu, with her long ice-blue hair, standing gracefully beside the stone pillar in the middle of the Altar. Her cold and refined temperament made people afraid to get too close.
"Senior Sister, you succeeded?"
Realizing what had happened, Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but smile, and then said softly.
Hearing this, Ling Qingzhu withdrew her gaze from the light and landed it on Ying Huanhuan. The next moment, she smiled softly. Instantly, the sense of aloofness and independence disappeared, replaced by a sense of intimacy.
"Qingzhu must thank Senior Sister. If Senior Sister hadn't taught Qingzhu before, I'm afraid Qingzhu would have found it difficult to gain the Ice Ancestor Symbol's approval."
Ling Qingzhu's words were by no means polite. If it hadn't been for some insights gained from Ying Huanhuan's soul before, she would not only have found it difficult to gain the Ancestor Symbol's approval, but she might have died miserably in the test. After all, she was not the Ice Master. The 'simplified' test could be said to be almost impossible for anyone other than the Ice Master to pass.
"Senior Sister is too kind. Being able to help Senior Sister is Junior Sister's blessing!"
Ying Huanhuan pursed her lips and replied with a light smile. Then, she turned her head and glanced at the Earth Gate in Ling Qingzhu's hand. After pondering for a moment, she took the initiative to say,
"Senior Sister, why don't we join forces to leave this place?"
In fact, the best way to deal with these blizzards was to fly into the air. Although there were other problems in the air, it was not difficult for the two successive controllers of the Ice Ancestor Symbol.
Perhaps seeing the look of doubt in Ling Qingzhu's eyes, Ying Huanhuan simply recounted what had happened.
"While Senior Sister was refining the Ancestor Symbol, Lin Xuan should have stopped the Demon Prison's lackeys. This blizzard, if nothing else, was caused by the fight."
"The Demon Prison used the Ancestor Symbol as bait to lure us here, so they must have made ample preparations. I'm afraid the Sword Saint is in some danger alone!"
Hearing this, Ling Qingzhu nodded without hesitation. The next moment, she raised her hand and waved, and a force of frost flew out, passing through the light screen and erecting a huge ice wall outside.
After the ice wall appeared, all the wind and snow disappeared immediately. Ling Qingzhu raised her hand and waved, directly removing the light screen, and then hugged Ying Huanhuan and flew straight into the sky.
"Boom!"
The moment the two left, the ice wall shattered under the impact of the blizzard, and the wind and snow instantly engulfed the entire Altar.
In the high sky, Ying Huanhuan looked down at the jade hand that Ling Qingzhu was using to circle her waist, her eyes filled with astonishment. The remaining light glanced at Ling Qingzhu, whose already somewhat shy face was even more flushed. In her mind, she couldn't help but think of the absurd illusion she had had before.
After calming her mind, Ling Qingzhu didn't dare to look at Ying Huanhuan, but explained softly,
"Senior Sister, you should recover your Origin Power first. There may be a big battle later!"
Outside the wasteland, the figures of the Yuan Gate's Three Great Sect Leaders quietly emerged. Ren Yuanzi raised his head, gazing at the spatial passages in the sky, a sneer in his eyes.
"Hmph, just a dog that my Yuan Gate found, yet it dares to dream of climbing above us. Truly courting death!"
Di Yuanzi, upon hearing this, showed no joy. Instead, he looked worriedly at the unstable spatial passages and softly questioned Tian Yuanzi.
"Tian Yuanzi, will His Highness truly not blame us for this scheme?"
"Blame us for what? As long as we can kill the Sword Saint, it will be a great achievement."
Tian Yuanzi glanced at the hesitant Di Yuanzi, a hint of indifference flashing in his eyes. He scanned the spatial passages, seemingly sensing something, and softly explained.
"The Hongya Cave Master sacrificed himself for the Demon Prison's grand plan, choosing a suicide attack to heavily injure the Sword Saint, allowing us to eliminate this major threat!"
Di Yuanzi abruptly raised his head, a look of realization flashing in his eyes. For experts at the Revolving Wheel Realm level, it was generally difficult to cause casualties in a normal fight. If they couldn't win, they could escape. Even in a two-on-one situation, it was unlikely to kill the opponent.
However, in a one-on-one situation, knowing death was inevitable, an attack that traded life for life could severely injure the opponent. Then, the heavily injured expert would find it almost impossible to escape from a Revolving Wheel Realm expert of the same level.
But could Lin Xuan's strength truly reach the Revolving Wheel Realm level? Di Yuanzi was skeptical.
"Tian Yuanzi, even though the Sword Saint is monstrous, he shouldn't have the strength of the Revolving Wheel Realm, right? After all, this isn't the Ancient Battlefield, and he has no external help!"
"Don't underestimate him. He is someone who cannot be judged by common sense. We must increase our assessment of him by one or two levels to have a chance to eliminate him!"
Tian Yuanzi's expression was solemn. Having fought Lin Xuan, he could increasingly sense the other's terror. This guy always exceeded expectations.
According to normal assessment, even as a prodigy, Lin Xuan, who was only at the Lesser Death Profound Realm, should only have strength surpassing the Death Profound Realm's peak. But Tian Yuanzi directly regarded him as an opponent of the same level.
Therefore, Tian Yuanzi had planned to have the Hongya Cave Master sacrifice himself first, using the Hongya Cave Master's life to severely injure Lin Xuan, and then they would step in to finish the job, ensuring everything was foolproof.
"Judging from the fluctuations coming from the spatial passages, they should already be fighting, and it's quite intense. I think now is the best time for us to enter. Then, when that dog is chopped down by the Sword Saint, we can take advantage of the Sword Saint's… Who's there!"
Ren Yuanzi, who was staring intently at the spatial passages, was plotting with a sinister expression when his face suddenly changed, as if sensing something. His gaze swept towards a certain void, and he shouted.
The moment Ren Yuanzi spoke, Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi's expressions also changed slightly, their gazes locking onto a certain space.
Under the gaze of Tian Yuanzi and the others, the sky suddenly darkened. When it lit up again, a gaunt, black-robed old man appeared before them.
Bo Xuan looked at Tian Yuanzi and the others with a smile, his face showing none of the hatred that an Ancestor Symbol controller should have for the Demon Prison's lackeys. Instead, he greeted them with a chuckle.
"Yuan Gate's Three Great Sect Leaders, long time no see, hope you've been well. How about sitting down for a drink together?"
As he spoke, Bo Xuan even shook the wine gourd in his hand, seemingly sincerely inviting the Yuan Gate's Three Great Sect Leaders to have a drink and reminisce.
"Bo Xuan? You dare to come find us alone!"
Ren Yuanzi was somewhat astonished, but then, a malicious look appeared on his face. The three of them working together could temporarily trap a Revolving Wheel Realm Ancestor Symbol controller. Then, they could directly ask the adults for help, control the Darkness Ancestor Symbol, and make up for the loss of the Space Ancestor Symbol.
"Hehe, I naturally wouldn't dare to come alone. But, who told me I have helpers!"
Bo Xuan didn't hide his intentions at all. After clapping his hands, a white-haired old man stepped out of the space, and Tian Yuanzi and the others couldn't help but narrow their eyes at the sight.
"Reincarnation Realm!"
Tian Yuanzi and the others never expected that Bo Xuan not only secretly followed them but also had a Reincarnation Realm helper.
