Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

In the next few days, the originally peaceful Xiaoji Palace gradually fell into chaos, and the tense atmosphere before the war spread as if overnight.

A large number of magic arrays and prohibitions were activated, and a large number of low-level disciples quietly evacuated from the palace, disappearing without a trace, and no one knew where they were settled.

Just two days after the beautiful woman had talked with Bai Mengxin and others, Master Hanli, who was practicing in the stone house in the Xuanyu Cave of the Xu Ling Palace, suddenly opened his closed eyes.

The distinguished Great Elder of Xiaoji Palace looked at the other people sitting in the room with their eyes closed, and slowly said:
"A few days ago, I have already taught you the relevant tips and key points. Based on your talents and opportunities, I believe it will not be difficult to comprehend this secret technique within two days."

After hearing this, Yan Yun and the others showed complicated emotions on their faces, and then they all opened their eyes and focused.

The monk smiled and replied, "I understand everything correctly and have comprehended the Dharma thoroughly."

The old woman proudly responded: "I already understood this secret technique half a day ago."

Yan Yun said calmly: "Yan has no doubts either."

As for Bai Mengxin and the middle-aged man in blue, there is no need to elaborate on them.

"Since all of you fellow practitioners have understood, let's not delay any longer and get started immediately. The time required to break through the bottleneck this time may be as short as a few days or as long as a few months. Regardless of the result, I hope that everyone can go all out and complete this secret technique in one go."

"To be honest, I am quite worried about the things outside the palace and hope to leave here as soon as possible." Master Hanli said with a serious face.

After hearing this, the others naturally had no objection.

Afterwards, Master Hanli and the other three took out a stack of formation flags and plates that had already been refined from their storage bags, walked out of the house, and began to arrange several mysterious magic formations around the cave.

Although Yan Yun and the other two did not need to do it themselves, they naturally did not want to miss the opportunity to observe the secret technique, so the cold flames in their bodies ignited again, and they walked out of the house, observing the actions of the three Xiaoji Palace monks coldly.

Since the equipment for setting up the formation had been fully refined, Master Hanli and the other two set it up at an astonishing speed, and it was completed in just a cup of tea.

Several layers of magic arrays, with piles of rocks as the core, present a gloomy and terrifying scene, in which runes can be vaguely seen flickering in the void.

Master Hanli's figure flashed, and he was suspended in the air. After looking around at the magic circle, he suddenly spun like a wheel and all ten fingers moved at the same time.

In an instant, more than a dozen spells broke through the air, sank into the magic circle, and turned into more than a dozen wisps of green smoke that disappeared in a flash.

The entire magic circle emitted a low humming sound, and various colors of spiritual light intertwined and flickered, and the black jade cold air that had originally permeated the entire bottom of the cave seemed to be disturbed at the same time, and it actually splashed in all directions in the agitation, like pouring cold water into hot oil.

However, only on the huge rock in the center, the milky white cold air ball was as solid as a rock, and seemed to be unaffected at all.

"Very good. Although the more Xuanyu Chi Qi there is, the better, we still need to ensure that the surrounding Chi Qi remains stable, so as to increase the possibility of a breakthrough."

Master Hanli floated above the pile of rocks, looked around for a moment, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, Yan Yun's sight was focused on five several-foot-high light pillars that suddenly appeared among the rocks under the power of the magic circle.

These light pillars shone brightly, showing five colors of gold, red, silver, black and yellow. They were obviously condensed from pure spiritual energy, just surrounding the huge rock.

Moreover, there are wisps of light connecting each light beam, shining as if they are one.

When the magic circle took shape, Yan Yun's eyes moved, and the green light around him suddenly bloomed, instantly turning into a green stream of light, heading straight for the white light column.

Immediately after the light faded, Yan Yun stood on the top of the light column with his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

The old woman and others also moved very quickly. In just a blink of an eye, they all stood on other light pillars. After looking at each other for a while, they sat cross-legged on them.

Yan Yun of course did the same.

At this moment, the spiritual power contained in his body began to flow slowly according to the secret techniques he had obtained earlier, and the Shura Holy Fire attached to his body also subconsciously became brighter and more dazzling.

Yan in the sleeves suddenly let out a low cry, and at the same time, the seals formed by his hands immediately changed.

Suddenly, a white light appeared where Yan Yun was sitting, and then gradually gathered and condensed, finally transforming into an extremely large lotus seat of light.

This white lotus is crystal clear, as thin and thick as a cicada's wing, and it is breathtakingly beautiful!
At the same time, when the white lotus first appeared, the Shura Holy Fire attached to Yan Yun's body seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly surged to half of its original size.

Seeing this situation, Yan Yun frowned slightly and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

The secrets taught by Master Hanli did not mention that these magic arrays actually had the magical effect of enhancing the power of the cold flame. This was undoubtedly a surprising and unexpected discovery.

If one could master the method of arranging this magic array, it might be of great use in the future.

However, Yan Yun soon realized that with the surge of the Shura Holy Fire, the speed at which his mana was consumed also increased several times.

Obviously, the method of using magic array to enhance the power of cold flames seems to have some shortcomings.

As he pondered this in his mind, he turned his gaze to the monks on the other light pillars and the blue-robed monks and others.

He saw that these Nascent Soul cultivators, like himself, had light lotus seats of similar shapes and sizes blooming beneath their bodies.

These people also sat in lotus seats, experiencing the feeling brought by the substantial increase of cold flames.

Yan Yun's eyes moved several times and glanced at the cave wall on the right.

In the milky white cold light, the ray of Taiyin True Fire he released was hiding there quietly, slowly absorbing the surrounding Xuanyu cold air, and it seemed that it did not attract anyone's attention.

Fortunately, the entire Void Spirit Hall was bound by the forbidden divine restriction, otherwise he would not dare to release this spiritual fire so wantonly.

However, before Yan Yun could withdraw his gaze, Master Hanli in the sky spoke first:
"It seems that all of you Taoists have cultivated your extreme cold flames to a certain level, which is enough to sustain for a long time. In this way, I can enter the mysterious jade cold air with peace of mind. Next, please follow the previous agreement and use all your strength to activate the cold flames."

After Master Hanli finished saying this solemnly, the dry blue ice flames all over his body trembled violently, and he flew above the milky white cold ball and slowly descended.

With a loud rumbling sound, the blue flame and the white light intertwined and shone several times, and the body of the scholar general was completely integrated into the cold ball. It was difficult to understand what method the dwarf used to make the dry blue ice flame and the black jade cold air coexist peacefully after a fierce collision.

It is like there is an extra layer of milky white light cover on Hanli's body, which makes it particularly eye-catching.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in green shirt and Bai Mengxin flipped their hands at the same time, and a light blue formation plate appeared in each of their hands.

The two of them clicked on the array plate several times skillfully. In an instant, a layer of colorful light curtain suddenly rose around the entire array, covering Yan Yun and others.

Immediately, strong winds howled outside the light curtain, and a white tornado spontaneously formed outside the light curtain. The fierce storm enveloped the light curtain in its huge roar, making it impossible for outsiders to see what was happening inside.

In other areas of the cave, the milky white cold air that was originally surging violently gradually returned to tranquility the moment the hurricane appeared.

Only that blazing flame is still hiding in a corner, constantly devouring the cold air around it.

As time passed, the hurricane in the chaotic pile of stones never stopped, and apart from the sound of the wind, no other strange sounds were heard.

However, after seven or eight days, many monsters finally appeared outside Beiming Island. They showed up in a swagger and split into two groups, launching attacks from the inland and ice sea respectively.

Along the way, evil spirits filled the air, and evil spirits soared to the sky.

Some families and small sects living around Beiming Island were naturally frightened and fled in all directions, moving their settlements away from Beiming Island to seek refuge.

With such a huge momentum, Xiaoji Palace naturally also quickly learned of the news.

Almost at the same time, they immediately activated the restrictions in the Tianyuan Yinmai Hanyan on the island, causing the air on the island to suddenly become several times colder than usual, with wind and snow flying between heaven and earth.

The demon tribe, led by the Wan Yao Valley, who came from inland, had already made full preparations.

Upon seeing this situation, they immediately dispatched a large number of low-level monsters to garrison outside the island in order to gradually consume the cold air stored on the island. At the same time, they sent out dozens of monsters above level seven to form several teams to launch an attack on the center of the island.

Most of the demon army coming from the direction of the ice sea were not afraid of the cold and snow of Beiming Island. They broke into the island directly. Thousands of demon beasts were instantly broken into small pieces and rushed towards Xiaoji Palace.

Although Beiming Island is not large in area, once these monsters enter it, they disappear in the ice and snow like a drop in the ocean, leaving no trace.

The high-level monks of Xiaoji Palace naturally would not allow these monsters to approach the Ice City easily. With the help of magic array restrictions and endless cold air, a bloody battle quickly unfolded on the island.

Several monsters with transparent bodies like jellyfish were moving forward vaguely on the snowy ground against the white wind and snow.

This kind of monster named "Cold Charm" was born in the cold air of heaven and earth, so even though they are only monsters of level five or six.

Faced with flying snowflakes and severe cold that can freeze the air, he is not only fearless, but full of energy and feels as free as a fish in water.

Suddenly, the leading level six cold spirit stopped, and the several pairs of red eyes growing on both sides of its body stared at a place on the side where the wind and snow were particularly dense with a puzzled look. The other level five cold spirits were also stunned and turned to look there.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, followed by several red rays shooting out in the wind and snow at an astonishing speed. They flashed by and instantly penetrated the bodies of several cold spirits, and actually split the demon pills in their bodies into two.

With a few "plops", these cold spirits shattered like ice sculptures and scattered on the ground.

At this time, a figure flickered in the wind and snow, and a female cultivator from Xiaoji Palace wearing a white cloak walked out slowly.

Although the woman's face was blurred, she glanced coldly at the broken ice in front of her, then flashed without hesitation, and disappeared without a trace in the wind and snow a moment later.

More than a hundred miles away, there was a monster with a bull's head and a human body, three meters tall. It held a heavy sword on its waist that was bigger than a wheel to support its body.

This monster has a pair of black curved horns on its head and is covered with fur that shimmers blue. Its movements are a little slow, and it looks funny and a little ridiculous.

However, if there were any practitioners observing this monster on the scene, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to laugh. Why?

That monster was not an ordinary "doll", it was actually a level seven monster that was about to enter the transformation stage.

Since Beiming Island has fully opened the no-fly ban, only monsters above level eight can ignore this ban and fly freely.

Therefore, if other monsters want to reach Xiaoji Palace, they must rely on their own feet and move forward step by step.

This monster was obviously not good at using escape techniques, so it could only move forward step by step.

Suddenly, the giant blade on the monster's shoulder trembled slightly, as if something disappeared without a trace in an instant. Then, a huge roar came from the side, followed by a shrill scream from the depths of the lake.

A sharp knife mark several feet wide and two meters long appeared strangely on the ice surface, as if it was bottomless.

At this time, the bull-headed monster slowly glanced at the knife mark.

In a flash, a large amount of blood gushed out, and a small part of the body floated to the surface. Judging from the style of the clothes, this was a male disciple of Xiaoji Palace.

It turned out that the disciple had originally planned to use the water escape technique to lurk under the ice and wait for an opportunity to attack the monsters passing by. However, he did not expect that this seemingly stupid level 7 monster would see through his plan at a glance and kill him at lightning speed.

A fierce light flashed in the monster's eyes, and with a wave of its hand, it sucked the half corpse into its hand.

Then, it opened its mouth wide and began to eat the corpse.

In just a cup of tea, half of the corpse was completely in the monster's stomach. The monster patted its belly in satisfaction, and continued to move forward carrying the heavy sword.

Similar killing scenes were constantly being staged throughout the Beiming Island. Whether it was low-level monsters being ambushed to death, or cultivators from the Xiaoji Palace being killed and devoured by monsters, it had become the norm.

However, the targets of the battle on both sides were low-level monsters and cultivators below the Jindan stage. The Yuanying stage cultivators and level 8 monsters turned a blind eye to such conflicts.

On the one hand, the Nascent Soul cultivators hid in the Ice City and never showed up; on the other hand, the Level 8 monsters flew by from high in the sky, not paying any attention to the fierce battle underground. (End of this chapter)
