Chapter 01: The Cave of Ice and Fire
The Ice Flame Cave is just behind the Temple of Life and Death.
After entering about twenty meters, the Ice Flame Cave was divided into two passages, one was to go to the cultivation place in the hinterland of the back mountain, and the other was to the prison, which was generally used to imprison the Nie family members who had made mistakes, and the length of detention depended on the severity of the mistake.
In the early morning, Nie Kong appeared outside the Ice Flame Cave.
Just like the previous Hall of Life and Death, the arch of this Ice Flame Cave is also made of dragon stone, but a thick small iron door has been opened near the cave wall, which can only accommodate two people entering and exiting at the same time. At the entrance of the cave, there was a Nie family member guarding it, and I heard that there was a cultivation of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"Clan cards!"
Hearing the footsteps, the spirit guard who closed his eyes and sat quietly opened his eyes, and after taking the clan card handed by Nie Kong, he was stunned: "Are you Nie Kong?"
"Yes. ”
Nie Kong smiled and nodded. To this day, almost all the clansmen have heard of the name "Nie Kong", and there are not many people who have seen him, after all, the Nie family is too big, and there are tens of thousands of clansmen in Jiyang City alone, and it is impossible for everyone to know each other.
A hint of discoloration flashed in the guard's eyes: "Psychic is just enough to enter the minimum standard of the Ice Flame Cave." Remember, don't go too deep into the belly, and if you feel unwell, quit immediately, and don't be afraid of losing face. Seeing that Nie Kong was a clansman who had just entered the Ice Flame Cave, the guard kindly reminded him. With that, the guard's long sleeves were blown out, and there was a "bang" like a hammer knocking on the door, and the heavy iron door creaked open.
"Thank you. ”
After thanking him, Nie Kong stepped over the high threshold.
At the top of the cave, there is a thing called "Moon Stone" inlaid every one meter, which is round and shiny, reflecting the stone cave about ten meters wide and three meters high as if it were daytime. Like this kind of moonstone, each grain can be sold for a sky-high price in the previous life, but in the Heavenly Spirit Continent, a grain is at most ten gold coins, and the biggest use is lighting, Nie Kong can only secretly sigh that the jewelry in this world is too worthless.
The iron door then closed, but the air in the cave was very fresh, and there was no feeling of suffocation.
The fork in front of you can be seen at a glance, and the road leading to the prison on the right is blocked by an iron gate, if the punishment is not greasy, Nie Fengxing should be locked up in it at this moment. If conditions permit, Nie Kong would like to go in and take a stroll and see Nie Fengxing's wonderful expression.
After walking along the left passage for a hundred meters, Nie Kong gradually felt a strange aura, mixed with a slight warmth in the coolness.
This is the most unique part of the Ice Flame Cave.
In the depths of the belly of the mountain behind the Nie family, there is an extremely open space, and almost every moment, two diametrically opposed auras will emerge from the ground. Over the years, the strange scene in this cave has been formed, the left side is cold like ice, and the right side is hot like fire.
In the area outside, the two breaths of cold and hot are blended together, and there is a particularly rich spiritual power of heaven and earth in between, which is very suitable for the cultivation of spirit masters in the psychic realm. However, the further inside, the more obvious the separation of the two breaths, to the depths of the mountain, completely incompatible. In that area, psychics are afraid that as soon as they step into it, they will either be burned to ashes by the heat or frozen into popsicles by the shade.
Therefore, those Nie family spirit masters who came here to cultivate would never rashly break into the depths of the Ice Flame Cave, unless they were impatient.
After walking dozens of meters, Nie Kong's eyes suddenly opened up, and the space dozens of meters long and wide was abruptly revealed, with rows of tables and chairs placed inside, and this place was a place for the Nie family to withdraw to breathe and rest when they couldn't bear the mixed breath of cold and heat.
As soon as Nie Kong's figure appeared, dozens of Nie family members who were resting all turned their eyes over, with different expressions, or surprise, regret, jealousy, or disdain. There is also a huge difference in their ages, ranging from teenagers in their teens, young adults in their twenties and thirties, and middle-aged people in their forties. For those teenagers, Nie Kong basically had a little impression, they should all be the people who entered the illusion realm this time.
"Nie Kong, is he Nie Kong?"
"I heard that he inadvertently broke into the second floor of the illusion world this time, and he didn't come out until the night before yesterday, and he almost died in the illusion world. It's pathetic. ”
"Who's to say it isn't. I have a cousin who has been staying in the Hall of Life and Death some time ago, and I heard that this kid broke through to the psychic not long after he entered, and everyone thought that he would be able to break through again when he came out, and become the second person to break through the second grade in a row after the Great Elder. It's just that his luck was too bad, and when he died, he actually died on the second floor of the illusion world, not only made himself half dead, but also made himself a psychic after he came out. ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity!"
"Hmph, I have already seen it, this kid is just a flash in the pan, the Heavenly Spirit Continent has been around for thousands of years, are there still few such examples?"
"Hey, you little brat!"
“......”
After leaving the Zangfeng Courtyard, Nie Kong deliberately rested at home for a day, studying the "Muyang True Spirit Technique" by the way, and did not go to the Bingyan Cave until this morning.
On the day he rested, the news that Nie Kong came out alive and his performance in the illusion world spread almost throughout the entire Nie family. For Nie Kong's "encounter", many clansmen are sympathetic and compassionate, of course, there are also many people who are gloating and secretly rejoicing.
In this regard, Nie Kong had already been mentally prepared, and when he heard those discussions, he only smiled lightly, and then walked through this rest place and walked towards the cultivation area in front.
"Huh, Nie Kong?"
A slightly familiar voice sounded, Nie Kong looked back, and saw a ten-year-old who had just walked in, beckoning to him with a smile.
"Nie Qing'an. Nie Kong said with a smile, counting it, this unlucky guy was the first and only person Nie Kong killed in the Illusion Realm Experience.
Seeing Nie Kong and Nie Qing'an appear before and after, the surrounding Nie family people suddenly became as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. The news that Nie Qingan was killed by Nie Kong at the last moment has long been spread, what kind of sparks will these two people have created now that they meet?
"Oh, Nie Kong, I've heard about you, don't be sad, isn't it just a psychic product! With your speed, maybe tomorrow you will be able to break through to the second psychic grade, the day after tomorrow to break through to the third psychic grade, or even tomorrow to jump to the third psychic grade, it's not impossible." Nie Qing'an's face was full of sympathy, but the sarcasm in his tone could be felt even by a fool, which showed that he was haunted by the events of that day.
"I'm not sad. Nie Kong smiled, "You're already a psychic ninth grade, right?"
Originally, I wanted to try to see if I could break through the two grades and step directly into the Soul Fusion, but it's a pity, it's a pity, it's just a little, it's just a little bit!" Nie Qingan shook his head and sighed, his expression was full of regret, but the slightly upturned corners of his lips revealed the pride in his heart.
"Just a little bit, then I'll congratulate you in advance, presumably you can achieve Soul Fusion by cultivating casually today, right?" Nie Kong turned and left.
"Gah?"
Nie Qingan was choked to death by these words, and his face suddenly became extremely embarrassed. He said that he was only a little close, but in fact, he knew very well in his heart that he could ...... in three months No, breaking through to Rongling within half a year is already burning high incense, and today I broke through to Rongling, what are you kidding!
"Poof......
A series of strange laughter rang out all around. Those clansmen who have already cultivated to the point of pain watched it with relish, Nie Qing'an was like a sheathed sword, splitting his head and covering his face, but Nie Kong was not shocked, just an inadvertent counterattack, and the other party was disgraced, and it was enjoyable!
In addition to cultivation, it is also a pleasure to see such a good show. It's a pity that it's too short, and it's not hot enough, of course, if it's too hot, it's going to burn yourself.
More than 100 years ago, there was a guy who was brutally killed by his peers in the fantasy world, and when he came out, he held a grudge and killed the other party completely, and as a result, that guy was imprisoned in the Ice Flame Cave for a full sixty years, and when he came out, he was extremely miserable and shaped like a skeleton. The two clansmen who were watching but couldn't stop them also suffered from the pond fish and were imprisoned in the Bingyan Cave for two years. From then on, no matter how badly he was killed in the Illusory Realm of Life and Death, no one dared to take a step beyond the Lei Chi and take revenge on the clansmen.
Hearing the strange sound of yin and yang around him, Nie Qingan's face was flushed with pig liver, and when he saw that Nie Kong had entered the cave in front, he hurriedly followed.
