Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1868 Ice Palace

Liu Qinghuan didn't expect to see so many people suddenly.

After coming out of the underground temple, he was puzzled. The road was so quiet that it was a little scary. He didn't meet many people.

It turned out that all these people gathered on this floor.

In the midst of the storm, a magnificent crystal ice palace stood firmly above the surging waves. The pavilions and towers were arranged in an orderly manner, with white ice as walls, corals as railings, and colorful pearls and shells as decorations. It was magnificent and looked like a palace in heaven.

On both sides of the palace, there were two groups of people, each very clearly separated, and the atmosphere was vaguely tense.

Liu Qinghuan's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

A female cultivator wearing a Taoist hat walked out from the crowd on the right and shouted, "Daoyou Taiwei!"

Liu Qinghuan took a look and found that it was an acquaintance, Taoist Master Daoxuan from Haosheng Garden, one of the five major palaces of Qingming.

His figure flashed a few times and landed on the floating ice on the right.

The sound of the wind suddenly died down, and the strong chill was blocked outside the ice by a layer of transparent barrier.

Liu Qinghuan bowed to the female cultivator who came forward and said with a smile, "Daoyou Daoxuan!"

A quick glance showed that the ice floe was quite large, with a total of fourteen or fifteen people gathered here in groups of three or four. Many of them were familiar faces, all of them well-known figures in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Taiwei, you are late this time!" Another middle-aged male cultivator came over and said, "It has been many years since we last met. Your cultivation has improved even more!"

"So you are fellow Daoist Huang Long from the Tianzhu Realm." Liu Qinghuan replied with a smile: "The last time we met was when the great catastrophe of heaven and earth had just arrived. Now when I think back on it, it feels like a lifetime ago."

Huang Long said with emotion: "Yes, so many things have happened in these years!"

Liu Qinghuan nodded in agreement, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and said, "Let's not talk about the past. What's the situation here now? Why are there so many people gathered here?"

As he spoke, he nodded slightly towards another piece of ice floe nearby.

There were also two familiar faces there, Fengzun Qingheng, and Lan Li, the patriarch of the Qingluan clan, both of whom he had dealt with before.

Daoxuan looked calm and said, "You've seen it too. Everyone is waiting for the Ice Palace to open." He turned his head and looked at the other side, "Those are from the tower. Although there are not as many people as us, they are all very strong."

Huang Long lowered his voice and said, "You came late, so you don't know. In fact, we have been here for quite some time and have fought several games before."

Liu Qinghuan raised his eyebrows and looked across.

There were only seven or eight people over there, but they all had an aura that made them look like they were not someone you would want to mess with.

So the current situation is that the demon kings and evil cultivators who originally lived in the tower formed a group, and the cultivators who came in from outside formed a group, and the two sides have been confronting each other for a long time.

Liu Qinghuan pointed in the direction of the Ice Palace: "It seems that something inside is attracting them, so they are unwilling to leave."

Huang Long smiled and said, "We don't know the details of this place, but seeing that they are very worried, we will stay and take a look."

"The wind barrier surrounding the Ice Palace is very strong. People have been trying to get in over the past few days, but they all retreated in disgrace in the end." Daoxuan said.

Liu Qinghuan was surprised. Looking from afar, he saw huge waves, strong winds and heavy rain.

"What kind of wind can stop so many great repairs?"

"They say it's some kind of fairy wind." Huang Long said, still a little frightened: "I went in to try it, and I almost froze to death before I took a few steps. It's really unbearable!"

Seeing that Liu Qinghuan was eager to try, Daoxuan advised: "Don't try it. The wind barrier has weakened a lot in the past two days. It will dissipate in a few more days. Don't waste your fighting power now." Liu Qinghuan thought it made sense, so he said: "Then wait a little longer."

The two groups inside and outside the tower are obviously not getting along, and a conflict may break out at any time, so we have to conserve our strength now.

He spoke to Huang Long and Daoxuan, then found an empty place to sit cross-legged and began to recover the magic power that had been consumed by the long journey over the past few days.

The ice floe returned to silence, strong winds were howling outside the protective shield, and only the huge ice palace stood still.

Liu Qinghuan had just completed a big circulation when he felt someone approaching. He opened his eyes, but saw a stranger.

"Is something wrong, fellow Taoist?"

The man smiled and bowed, saying, "Nothing much, but I have admired Dao Kui's reputation for a long time, and now that I have met him, I have come to see him."

Liu Qinghuan frowned slightly and said politely, "It's an honor. I just don't know your name, where are you from?"

The man chuckled and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. My last name is Xue..." Then he winked at him and said, "My given name is Yi."

Liu Qinghuan's expression froze for a moment, and he subconsciously wanted to turn around and look at the other people around him, but he held himself back and quickly put up a soundproof barrier.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Xue Yi asked curiously, and walked over to him and sat down.

Liu Qinghuan was silent for a moment: "There are no enemies here, right? Be careful and don't reveal your identity."

"Tsk, I'm not afraid, why are you afraid?" Xue Yi said nonchalantly, "I've died once, and my enemies are mostly dead or disabled, so there aren't many people left who know me, don't worry."

Liu Qinghuan was speechless. Why was he worried about him? He just didn't want to be implicated!

Back then, Taoist Wangren was hunted down by the entire immortal cultivation world, and no one could match his fame.

He laughed and said, "Where have you been hiding all these years? I can't even find your shadow."

"The mountain people have their own places to go!" Xue Yi shook his head and said, "Don't talk about me. Do you know the origin of the Ice Palace?"

"I don't know. Do you know?"

"Hahahaha, of course I... don't know either!" Xue Yi said mysteriously: "But I caught a little demon a few floors ago and got some information from him. Do you want to know?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Liu Qinghuan said, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"Tsk, how can you be so impatient...Okay, okay, it is said that there was originally a Cambrian black tortoise imprisoned on this floor. The black tortoise lived for a very long time, and after it died, its palace was sealed. Only when the Clear Sky Purgatory Tower is opened, its ice palace will reappear."

"Cambrian Black Turtle..." Liu Qinghuan touched his chin.

"I heard from them that the body of the black turtle is still sealed in the Ice Palace and has not been found yet." Xue Yi said, "They said that if you eat a bite of its meat, you can increase your lifespan a lot, so those people are flocking to it."

"Is it fake?" Liu Qinghuan was a little unconvinced.

"Who cares if it's real or not!" Xue Yi said, "A Cambrian black tortoise that has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, its shell and other things are all rare and top-grade spiritual materials, and it can't even be ranked for a little increase in lifespan."

He nudged Liu Qinghuan with his shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, we meet again this time. We must help each other and take good care of your brother!"
