"How about it, this meal is still comfortable, right?" When I came out of the teahouse, it was already noon.

"It's comfortable, but it's too much to eat, dim sum should be eaten as a meal!" Originally, it was enough to eat the dim sum on that table, but Ou Zhiyang ordered another table in order to be angry with Wu Qingfeng, and in the spirit of not wasting it, he ate both of them.

"It's okay, then skip lunch, go to the walls of the ice city, see this thousand-year-old wonder, and take a walk by the way. Ou Zhiyang said yì.

"It's so good, I've long wanted to see it!" Ming Xuan had been fascinated for a long time.

The city wall of the ice city is four or five zhang high, more than one zhang wide, compared with the city walls of other big cities, it is not majestic, but it seems a little cold, but it is not made of bricks and stones, but it is built within an hour with the immortal using the great magic power to condense water into ice, which is incomparable anywhere, and it is also the biggest pride of the ice city.

"It's really amazing, it's incredible!" Ming Xuan looked at this macro scene and suddenly sighed.

"When I didn't break through the spirit, I thought that the capable person was already very great, but after breaking through the spirit, I felt that the capable person was not worth mentioning at all, the world suddenly opened up, if you go to the immortal, when you look at this city wall, what kind of mentality will it be?" After being promoted to the spirit person, Ou Zhiyang entered a new realm, and he believed that after the ascension to the immortal, he must feel completely different, and he couldn't help but be fascinated.

"I don't know about this, and I don't think about it, because one day we will reach that realm, and we will know when the time comes. "It's useless to think too much, it's better to be down-to-earth.

"I wish there would be a day when all martial arts cultivators are ultimately pursuing. Ou Zhiyang said longingly.

"How many spirits are there in this world, and how many immortals will there be?" Ming Xuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Who will know this, there are tens of millions of people in Zhongzhou, it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of people in martial arts, but everyone's talent and efforts are very different, only half of the people who can be promoted to the end, and only one or two percent of the people who can be promoted to the spirit, and even fewer who can be promoted to immortals, it is estimated that half of them are less, according to this calculation, there are only one or two thousand spirits, and the immortals are no more than a thousand, this is still in a completely ideal situation, walking the rivers and lakes will inevitably have fighting injuries, so there are not a few people who die, so this estimate will only be less and not more, of course, this is limited to Zhongzhou。 Ou Zhiyang made a rough estimate.

"It's so little!" Ming Xuan couldn't help but be surprised, but he also thought that Ou Zhiyang's estimate should be very accurate, but he was surprised by this result.

"There's no way, this is the status quo, among them, the nine major sects occupy six or seven percent of the share, and the situation of the other small sects is even worse, one spirit is enough to open a mountain and establish a sect. "In addition to the nine major sects in Zhongzhou, there are countless other small and medium-sized sects, so naturally there are good and bad.

Take Qingyangmen as an example, every time they recruit disciples, they have to go through layers of selection, and the final admitted disciples are the elite of the elite, although they dare not say that they are all talented, but the talent is definitely not low, even so, they still need to study hard every day, and they have to go through cruel elimination every year, and then the disciples who grow up in such an environment, the last ones left are definitely the dragons and phoenixes among the people, but even so, the people who are finally promoted to the spirit are only two or three percent, but it is difficult to break through, and other small and medium-sized sects, whether it is the talent of the disciples or the cultivation techniques are inferior, then the probability of their breakthrough is even smaller and smaller, and many people have not even been able to step into the spirit in the end, many died directly at the time of the breakthrough.

"No wonder people often say that the road of martial arts cultivation is a road of no return!" Ming Xuan said with emotion, as soon as he set foot on martial arts, he had to practice day after day, year after year, and he had to face these layers of tests, but only a few people succeeded in the end, and they had to face endless strife and pain, and even precarious, it was better to be a small ordinary person to live at ease, so many people finally chose to give up and be happy to be a common man, his senior brother Liang Dayi thought so and did so.

Just like the ancestors of the Chen family who used their great powers to build the Ice City, everyone envied and worshipped them, but no one saw their efforts and dedication, which is actually a kind of sadness!" Ou Zhiyang said with emotion.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and this is not to be blamed, besides, our cultivation is not for others to see, we just want not to forget our original intention, hoe the strong and help the weak, and act chivalrous and righteous!" This is the promise that Ming Xuan made to his grandfather when he was just practicing martial arts, and he dared not forget it for a day, which was also the ultimate intention of his cultivation.

"Well said!" a Qingyue voice suddenly sounded.

As soon as the words fell, an old man with a white beard walked up the stairs next to him, looking at the two with a smile on his face, his expression somewhat similar to Chen Xinfeng.

"The younger generation Ou Zhiyang has seen Chen Xinguang's predecessors!" Ou Zhiyang obviously knows the old man, he is Chen Xinguang, the eldest brother of Chen Xinfeng's generation, and he is also the grandfather of Chen Yiling and Chen Yihe.

"The junior Gu Mingxuan has seen the senior. Ming Xuan also woke up and hurriedly saluted.

"At a young age, it is really rare to be able to know how not to forget your original intention and clarify the direction!" Chen Xinguang looked at Ming Xuan with a smile, his eyes full of praise.

"The younger generation thinks that the road of cultivating martial arts is like walking in the dark, the road ahead is confused, and every step is panicked, and the goal is like a lighthouse, guiding the direction, if even this is not clear, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make the trip, or even go astray. Ming Xuan bowed and said.

"Not bad, not bad! Cultivation is a road of no return, during which there are countless temptations and struggles, and many people have lost their way because of this, it is rare that you know how to not forget your original intention at a young age, but you have to continue to maintain it in the future!" Chen Xinguang said with relief.

"The younger generation never dares to forget. "This is something that Grandpa wants Ming Xuan to remember from the beginning of martial arts.

"We also watched the ancestors of the Chen family use the great power of the Great Divine Power to do such a great thing in the early ice city, and we felt it for a while. Ou Zhiyang said with a smile, he had dealt with Chen Xinguang several times, but he was not as solemn as Mingxuan.

"Where is it as easy as you think, in fact, it is not like that at all, it is just a rumor. Chen Xinguang shook his head and sighed. Looking at this majestic ice city, I was a little dazed.

"Oh?" Ming Xuan and Ou Zhiyang looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"It's true that this ice city was built by the four ancestors of the Chen family, but it's not because I like it here, but because I was chased and killed by the enemy back then, and I had nowhere to live, and I couldn't go far away, and finally I could settle down in the northernmost place in Zhongzhou, otherwise who would want to drag my family to this icy and snowy place!" Chen Xinguang sighed.

Mingxuan and the others didn't talk, but they both felt that Chen Xinguang's statement was more in line with reality, the immortal had already transcended things, who would have nothing to do with his family to run around, and also ran to this cold place, and he also wanted to build a city and build a home here.

"And when the four ancestors used the great magic power to build the city wall at the same time, in fact, it was just a square city wall blank, which was constantly modified and carved by later generations to have the current appearance, how can it be so magical as the legend, the entire ice city will be built in one day, do you think the immortal has really become an immortal?" Chen Xinguang continued.

"I see, the younger generation has been taught. "People in the world love to be exaggerated, and after spreading falsehoods, they have long deviated from the fundamentals of the facts, in fact, this is also the Chen family's deliberate statement for the sake of face.

"I tell you this, I want you to know, in fact, immortals are not as powerful as you think, as long as you work hard enough, you can also do it, see that your cultivation has also reached the level of a spirit, it is very rare, and you should also be a leader among your peers, so don't envy others, work hard in a down-to-earth manner, you can reach higher heights." Chen Xinguang said earnestly.

"Younger generations remember the teachings of their predecessors!" the two replied at the same time.

"That's very good, fortunately there is nothing to do at the moment, I'll take you to visit this city wall, how about it?" Chen Xinguang seemed to be in high spirits.

"Dare not obey your orders!" was taught by the seniors, and the two couldn't ask for it.

"In order to give the ancestors a place to settle down, the ancestors used great magical powers to build the ice city, in fact, they also lost their skills, in order to share the burden for the ancestors, the descendants took on the work of decoration and carving, after several generations of efforts, the ice city has today's prosperity, it is not easy to come by!" Chen Xinguang said with emotion.

"The younger generation carefully observed the structure of the city wall, it looked crystal clear, as pure as crystal, it seemed to be like an ice cube, but in fact, it felt that it was not like that, and with all due respect, if the ice city was really built with only ice cubes, even in this extreme north, I am afraid that it will inevitably melt, after all, there are many people in this city, and the enthusiasm is attacking. Ming Xuan asked after thinking carefully.

"Well, I observed it very carefully, but this city wall is indeed cast of ice, but the Chen family has slightly modified it. Chen Xinguang nodded and said.

"Transformation?" Ming Xuan didn't understand what he meant.

"This junior knows a little bit about the fact that when the ice city was built, the water was condensed into ice to build the city wall, and the formation was indeed an ordinary ice block, but in order to preserve the city wall forever, the descendants of the Chen family set up a lock cold array in the city wall to block the cold air inside, resist external heat, and prevent the city wall from melting. "Ou Zhiyang obviously knows more than Ming Xuan.

"Yes, it is true, each city wall has set up a huge lock cold array, it can absorb the cold when it is cold, release the cold when the heat invades, and protect the city wall from melting, because the ice city has far more cold days than warm days, so the city wall has accumulated a lot of cold air, and gradually the wall has been transformed at a deeper level, as time goes by, the ice gradually becomes a thousand years of ice, crystal clear, and no longer afraid of heat, even if it is directly close to it with a torch, there will be no trace of melting, and the cold released will extinguish the torch instead。 Chen Xinguang added.

"The younger generation is stupid, I have heard many people mention the formation, but they don't know anything about it in their hearts, can you ask the seniors to explain a thing or two. Speaking of this, Ming Xuan couldn't help but humbly ask for advice, he really hadn't studied these.
