Chapter 82: The Temple of Ice and Snow
"It's not scientific!"
When the cargo ship sailed on the Sea of Storms for six days and arrived in Arras City, Ling Xuan stepped onto the dock of the port and let out a puzzled sigh.
On the ship, there are mysterious and powerful old captains, beautiful female teachers and young schoolgirls such as neighbors on the same ship, and there are also nobles among the male students. The six-day trip, nothing happened, and he arrived at his destination safely and plainly, which made him feel incredible.
Especially before the boat, the bald first mate also said taboo words!
Shouldn't you encounter something like a powerful ocean super-rank magical beast or a pirate who doesn't have long eyes when sailing? Then show your strength, kill the enemy and make a big splash, easily harvest the hearts of glamorous teachers and young students, the jealousy of those noble male students, the beautiful women who hug them, and impress the old captain, and get the other party's peerless inheritance?
As a result, there were no accidents for six days, and even the hurricane in the Sea of Storms seemed to have disappeared.
Standing in wonder for a while, Ling Xuan walked from the dock to Arras City, which was already considered a northern country. The city is a transit place for goods, full of busy people, and the internal buildings, built of cyan stone unique to the north, are very majestic.
There are four months in a year on the continent of Mana: the month of green grass, the month of flowers, the month of red leaves, and the month of snow, with 200 days and 20 hours a day.
Autumn in the north is already very cold, and the cold wind blows with coldness, but this is not the far north. The Far North is the land of ice and snow, everything is frozen, and Ling Xuan's target is exactly where the Ice and Snow Temple of the Far North is located!
This is not the place where the Holy See of Light has set foot, but there is another sect on the mainland: the Ice and Snow Goddess Sect.
In the ancient war between gods and demons, legend has it that the goddess of ice and snow fought with the demon god and was killed by the calamity lady Bazaar. However, in the Ice and Snow Temple, the goddess's legacy of the godhead is enshrined, and it is said that the consciousness of the goddess is still protecting the believers, and the Ice and Snow Goddess Cult has not died out.
It's just that it is too far from the ancient Ice and Snow Goddess Sect, which was extremely prosperous, and it can almost be compared with the Holy See of Light.
Ling Xuan was in Arras City, and saw the believers of the Ice and Snow Goddess Sect, the believers of this sect were all women, wearing face scarves and blue robes, and the beautiful shadows outlined by the simple robes were very cold!
After resting in the city for a day, replenishing the necessary food and fresh water for the clone and Devil, Ling Xuan embarked on a journey to the Far North.
He didn't hire a car, he walked on his feet, and on the cold and windy road, he gradually became inaccessible. After walking for more than a day, the sky fluttered with snowflakes, the earth was white, and he opened the light curtain of the dimensional ring, and the main body went outside.
The heaven and earth are full of freezing, and there is a strong aura of the ice surname everywhere, which is very good for the cultivation of the ontology and the understanding of the way of ice.
Ling Xuan put the clone into the ring, took a breath of cold air mixed with the wind, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy. In the ice and snow where the natural energy of the ice system is abundant, it is too comfortable for him to absorb it with the Xuanbing Spirit Body.
"Here, it should be to the white snow field, and then there is the ice plateau, and when you reach the extreme north, you can also see the sea of extreme ice and glaciers. Well, keep going like that! ”
Ling Xuan simply took off his shoes, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it was falling one after another, and there was no other creature between the pure white heaven and earth, only a young man, wearing an ice and snow silk robe, walking barefoot on the spotless snowfield.
This situation made him can't help but be poetic, and chanted a poem:
"Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, thousands of paths and people disappear, white-robed young guests, walking alone in the ice field and snow."
As he advanced, Ling Xuan could clearly feel that the mana that absorbed the transformation of heaven and earth's spiritual qi was growing rapidly, and the spiritual consciousness that had been refined into the divine realm was becoming more and more pure, as if his body and mind had been baptized.
He let out a long breath of white air, and suddenly pulled himself up, his body spun rapidly, bringing a gust of icy wind. The ice wind swept up the snowflakes and fluttered, becoming more and more violent, and finally turned into an ice wind tornado, roaring violently between heaven and earth!
A moment later, the ice tornado began to weaken, and Ling Xuan's figure spun and slowly fell from the sky. Raising his right hand, he slapped out with a palm, and the white frozen air snorted out from the palm, spraying straight more than five meters away, and then turned his palm into a fist, and swung with both fists, each punch was accompanied by a little bit of ice and snow crystal dust.
After performing it several times in a row, Ling Xuan laughed.
The spirit consciousness has reached the level of being able to condense the yang god, which is enough to control the mana and make more subtle changes. He has a defence-hardening and metamorphosis Ice Glass Body, and has a power mark comparable to the strength of the hand-to-hand combat demon leader, and has great potential for melee development.
Although a cultivator is only responsible for fighting with magic weapons and spells, but now, he has not yet reached the realm of divine powers, the spells are not strong, and the magic weapons are limited by materials, so such a strong body, of course, will not give up close combat.
These days, stepping on the white snow field, Ling Xuan has been deducing in his heart, simulating in the fixed realm trying to create his own combat methods.
Based on the withered hand and the rotting corpse palm, the death dragon scroll of the death sword technique, the fire dragon sword inheritance scroll obtained, and the cultivation of the fire dragon fighting spirit, the use of some moves and energy gave him a lot of inspiration, plus some movie memories from the real world, he created three kinds of martial arts, fist, palm, and leg:
Cold Frost Fist: When a fist hits an enemy, it will blast the frozen air into the enemy's body, exploding it from the inside, and blowing the whole person into frozen slices of frozen meat with frost splashes!
Cold condensation palm: Compression and condensation, the cold and frozen gas with high energy density and purity erupts from the palm to form a cold current, which is contaminated by the cold current of the frozen gas, and the blood and body moisture will all condense, directly frozen into an ice sculpture!
Ice Wind Legs: Mana rushes out from the whole body, erupting freezing gas, centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the body, rolling up an extremely cold storm mixed with ice crystals and ice edges, freezing a large number of enemies!
Originally, Ling Xuan's means: Heart Fire, Falei, Six-Vein Ice Sword, Ice Crystal Arrow, Crystal Coffin, Crystal Wall, Ice Magic Ball, Ice Wings, Ice and Snow Glass Body, not to mention the last four, the first five are almost all pure energy-based combat methods.
Now, the Cold Frost Fist, the Cold Condensation Palm, and the Ice Wind Leg make up for the lack of methods, and the power inspired by the Force Engraving, the fist, palm, and leg directly hit the enemy's body, what will be the consequences? Not to mention the damage of mana cooperation.
Of course, for Ling Xuan, the most powerful is still the Yang God, holding the Ice Spirit Cold Light Cone, from a height of more than a thousand meters, rolling up the Ice Spirit Cold Light and falling down by gravity!
However, after only one cast, the natal magic weapon was seriously traumatized, and now Ling Xuan was still a little afraid after thinking about it, once the ice spirit cold light cone was damaged, the mana would be regressed by three hundred and forty years! However, if you didn't use this method at the beginning, you wouldn't be able to kill the Emperor of the Burning Prison.
It took some time, and Ling Xuan finally perfected the three martial arts of fist, palm, and leg, and then began to advance again.
Walking barefoot on the thick snow, after another three full days, Ling Xuan's feet were no longer just snow, occasionally mixed with frozen solid ice, and the terrain also changed from gentle to relatively steep, as if climbing high ground.
He knew that he had entered the Ice Plateau by now, and the weather was very clear, no longer the heavy snow that had been fluttering before. But the biting cold in the air is even more profound, and the temperature is probably enough to compare with the South Pole and the North Pole on the earth!
As if ascetic, continuing to move forward on the ice-covered plateau, Ling Xuan spent five days crossing the ice plateau, and when he stood on the edge of a frozen ice sea, looking at the huge icebergs floating in the sea, he understood that he had finally reached the extreme north.
In the past ten days of walking, Ling Xuanguang's mana has increased amazingly, and the greater benefits are that the first is to create three martial arts by himself, and the second is that the purity of spiritual consciousness has almost doubled compared to before stepping into the north!
If the spiritual sense is pure, the control will be strong, if he goes to the construction and competition with Garcia now, sitting on the ice lotus platform under him, Ling Xuan can even use his spiritual sense to carve dense patterns on each lotus leaf, and even a magic circle with a temporary surname.
According to the mark on the secret map that he had purchased at a high price, Ling Xuan found a hole in the Ice and Snow Cliff and entered a place called "Crystal Passage" inside.
In the crystal passage, there are some magical beasts called "snow monsters", these snow monsters are tall, with long white hair-covered fur, feed on the glowing moss of the crystal tunnel, and their surnames are irritable and powerful!
Ling Xuan happened to be here, experimenting with the power of his new self-created martial arts, and at the same time harvesting more than a hundred ice-based demon cores, and only arrived at the exit a day later.
As far as the eye can see, on the high cliff, a Greek temple-style building that looks like a crystal carving, shimmering with pure white luster in the cold sun of the far north, is almost in a fairy tale, towering magnificently.
This is the Ice and Snow Temple built by the Ice Demon Stone, and it is also the headquarters of the Ice and Snow Goddess Sect!
A temple made of magic stones? Even if Ling Xuan was well-informed, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, this temple was probably the most valuable building in the entire Manna Continent.
Only the most devout believers in the goddess of ice and snow, with the purity of ice magic, can withstand the bitter cold of the white snow fields, the ice plateau, and the extreme north, and pass through the crystal passage with difficulty to reach this holy place and live here.
Of course, strong people above the Holy Rank can also do it!
For the Ice and Snow Temple, of course, Ling Xuan had to show some respect, he walked along the ice cliff in the direction of the temple, and after three hours, he arrived in front of the temple, where there were already two rows of young and beautiful girls, with light blue robes, making them look pure and noble.
More than a dozen cold currents that emitted an icy aura flew down from above the temple, forming an ice mirror at the entrance, and out of the mirror came a woman with a temperament as pure as an iceberg snow lotus.
The woman was dressed in a white robe, wearing a crown of ice crystals, a blue staff with ice glittering in one hand, and a white Ice Maiden Sacred Cult in the other, her hair was as blue and white as ice crystals, and her long hair hung down from the back of her head and hung down on the cold ground.
The intricate blue patterns on the robe, as well as the patterns of snowflakes and holy emblems, indicate that she is the highest-ranking existence in the Ice and Snow Temple: the Great Priest Sylva!
According to the information that Ling Xuan learned in Arras City, the Grand Priest of Silva was at least one hundred and seventy years old, but this woman's appearance was at most thirty years old, and she was obviously very well maintained in the Ice and Snow Temple, and her own strength must be extremely strong, otherwise she would not be so young.
"You're finally here." A rare smile appeared on Silva's cold face.
"Uh, you know I'm coming?" Ling Xuan was slightly stunned, in this world, is there a prophecy technique?
Silva explained indifferently: "When you were fighting in the crystal passage, the great goddess of ice and snow, Bing Mengxi, discovered your existence and then issued an oracle to us, and we began to prepare for your arrival a day ago.
"Ice and Snow Goddess, did she find me?"
Ling Xuan was really taken aback now, wasn't the Ice and Snow Goddess dead? This was uttered by the Mother Goddess of Mana herself, and there can be no mistake.
Silva did not answer, but said to the two rows of girls beside him, "Take him to the Sacred Spring of Polar Ice, bathe him well, and then bring him to the main temple." ”
As if to emphasize, the high priest added: "Remember, be sure to wash it cleanly!" ”
