Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 898 Mysterious Hall
The light within the valley faded, and Ning Fa, along with Lan Dian and Wen Hui, landed from the flying boat.

The valley was more than ten miles long and wide, and although it was shrouded in icy mist, it was warm.

In this valley lies a lake several miles in size, its surface shimmering and even steaming; the water in this lake is warm.

You can see some slender white fish, about a foot long, swimming leisurely in the lake, making the valley look like a paradise.

Ningfa briefly surveyed the frozen lake before casually looking away.

There were only some first-tier spirit fish among them, and they posed no danger.

At this moment, Lan Dian's eyes lit up as she looked at the white fish in the lake with a envious expression. Then, a flash of blue light appeared on her body, and she flew into the lake with lightning speed.

Wen Hui, who was standing to the side, was immediately startled. She looked at Ning Fa with concern and said, "Master, Sister Lan, she..."

Ning Fa shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry about her, she's just greedy."

At this moment, Ning Fa felt Xiao Bing protesting again from inside the spirit beast bracelet. He smiled and flicked his wrist. Under the flashing ice-blue light, a magnificent ice-blue spirit bird appeared, which was Xiao Bing.

Little Ice circled around excitedly, looking completely captivated, and said, "Ah, I love this ice-attribute aura so much! Master, why didn't you let me out sooner? I've been so bored these past few days."

Ning Fa smiled. The reason he hadn't released Xiao Bing before was because of Su Wanwan's reminder.

It was then that he learned that Xiao Bing possessed the Ice Spirit Mark of a core member of the Ice Sea Demon Clan, so to avoid any unforeseen complications, he did not dare to release Xiao Bing.

But in this remote, icy valley, it's possible.

At that moment, Xiao Bing also looked at the frozen lake in the valley, drooling, and was about to fly over with a whoosh, but Ning Fa grabbed it.

"Xiao Bing, your situation is special. It's best if you don't leave my side, lest a high-level ice sea demon suddenly pass by and discover you."

"If you like those white fish, I'll have Blue Lightning catch some more for you."

Although Xiao Bing was envious, she knew what was important and didn't make any rash moves.

Ning Fa was puzzled. The white fish in the frozen lake were just some first-order spirit fish, but he didn't expect that they would make Lan Dian and Xiao Bing so greedy.

Ning Fa then led Xiao Bing and Wen Hui deeper into the valley.

After slowly exploring the area, he stopped in front of one of the valley walls.

Before this ice wall, there were several seemingly naturally formed ice fissures that stretched downwards.

Ning Fa scanned the area briefly with his divine sense, then a burst of light enveloped him, carrying Wen Hui and Xiao Bing directly into one of the ice fissures.

Through this natural passage formed by the ice crevice, Ningfa wound its way down for several miles before finally reaching its end.

This appears to be an ice cave of over a hundred square meters. Apart from the entrance they entered, there seems to be nothing unusual about it.

Ning Fa stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes gleaming as he slowly surveyed the scene.

Wen Hui also looked on curiously with her clear black and white eyes. Although she didn't know the purpose of this trip, she obediently remained silent.

Ning Fa's expression turned serious. According to the clues given by Fairy Yuanxing, the teleportation array should be located here.

The problem is that even with his divine sense, he couldn't detect anything unusual about the ice cave, which was enough to show that this place was extraordinary.

He then slowly walked to a cave wall. The only unusual thing about this cave wall was that it was relatively flat.

Ning Fa slowly explored the cave wall with his right hand, then stepped back and casually slashed downwards, instantly unleashing a bolt of silver lightning that struck the cave wall.

But just then, a white light suddenly shone from the cave wall, and the lightning bolt that Ning Fa had unleashed vanished as if it had disappeared into the sea.

Ningfa was immediately startled.

At this moment, the cave wall also changed; the eerie white light did not disappear but continued to spread.

In the blink of an eye, mysterious array patterns covered the cave walls, and streams of spiritual light flowed through these patterns like breaths.

The sheer intensity of the spiritual pressure emanating from it caused Ning Fa to change color instantly.

This restriction had definitely reached the fifth level, and its aura made him feel deeply threatened.

At this moment, the white light on the patterns suddenly intensified, and an extremely dangerous aura rose up.

Ning Fa was shocked and was about to leave through the cave entrance above with Xiao Bing and Wen Hui when a strange white light filled the cave entrance, sealing off the area.

Although Ning Fa was startled, he remained calm. With a flick of his right hand, an ancient, round mirror appeared—the Zhou Tian Yan Lei Mirror.

But before he could unleash this treasure, the terrifying aura of the restriction suddenly stopped, and the terrifying attack that was brewing also ceased.

Ning Fa felt a slight sense of relief, then quickly turned his head to look.

Although Wen Hui was also terrified and her face turned pale, she remained relatively calm.

However, Xiao Bing was in an abnormal state, and at this moment, it was also shrouded in a strange white light, which flickered and seemed to echo the flowing light on the cave wall.

Ning Fa was startled. What was going on?
Why does this restriction seem to have some connection with Xiaobing?
At this moment, Xiao Bing also looked confused, and even when Ning Fa tried to contact her mentally, Xiao Bing did not respond.

Just then, the cave wall suddenly lit up, and with a loud bang, the white light flashed and disappeared, revealing a hole several meters in size.

At the same time, Xiao Bing also flew into the hole with a whoosh.

"Xiao Bing, come back quickly!" Ning Fa called out hurriedly, but there was no response.

Ning Fa looked anxious and immediately scanned the area with his divine sense, but his expression changed slightly. "Wen Hui, you stay here for now, I'll go in and take a look."

Wen Hui immediately nodded obediently, and Ning Fa, without saying a word, flew directly into the hole.

What you see here is a large ice crystal hall of more than a thousand square meters, with the floor paved with neat blocks of ice stones.

Inside the hall, towering pillars of black jade stand majestically, their surfaces adorned with mysterious bird reliefs, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Ning Fa's gaze quickly focused ahead, where he saw a several-foot-tall ice jade altar in the center of the hall, with a semi-circular white light shield supporting it.

The mysterious patterns on the surface of the altar seemed to be illuminated and began to spin rapidly.

Meanwhile, Xiao Bing had somehow entered the white light shield, her head buried in her wings, motionless.

Above Xiao Bing's head, a mysterious white bead floated quietly, constantly emitting a divine white light that entered Xiao Bing's body.

Upon seeing this, Ningfa frowned, but did not make any rash moves.

Xiao Bing is probably not in danger right now; it seems more like she's receiving some kind of inheritance.

From his mental connection with Xiao Bing, he could clearly feel that Xiao Bing's aura was getting stronger and stronger, which greatly surprised Ning Fa.

This place looked mysterious and unpredictable, protected by a powerful fifth-order restriction. If Fairy Far Star hadn't told him its location, he wouldn't have been able to detect anything unusual even though it was right in front of him.

And this mysterious place is actually closely related to Xiao Bing.

Ningfa immediately realized what was happening.

This ice crystal palace appears to be a place of inheritance, and Little Ice seems to meet the requirements for receiving the inheritance, which is why the fifth-order restriction was able to let her pass so easily.

Could it be because Xiao Bing possesses the Ice Spirit Mark?

Thinking about this, Ning Fa felt it was very likely.

He couldn't help but feel incredibly lucky. If it weren't for Xiao Bing, breaking through this fifth-order restriction on his own would have been a very difficult task.

After all, the Star Compass's magical abilities cannot be used for fifth-order restrictions.

He couldn't make any big moves, lest he attract the attention of high-level demon cultivators in the vicinity.

Ning Fa then looked to the other side of the hall, his eyes immediately filled with ecstatic joy.

In one corner of the main hall, there was a white magic array about ten feet in size. Although it was not yet activated, a faint spatial fluctuation emanated from it.

Clearly, the teleportation array that Fairy Far Star mentioned must be this one.

Ning Fa was naturally extremely excited. After carefully probing with his divine sense, he cautiously walked towards the spot and soon arrived at the side.

Ning Fa opened his divine sense to observe carefully, and soon a smile appeared on his face.

This was indeed an ancient teleportation array, very similar to one of the ancient teleportation arrays he had seen in ancient texts before.

Around this teleportation array are ten grooves, each containing a grayish-white stone, which are clearly spirit stones whose spiritual energy has been depleted.

Ning Fa made a grabbing motion in the air with his right hand, and the ten gray-white stones flew to the side.

With another wave of his hand, ten gleaming high-grade spirit stones flew into the grooves.

Suddenly, the formation shone brightly with white light, and a deep hum came from within. The spatial fluctuations it emitted also suddenly intensified, clearly indicating that it was ready to be activated.

Ning Fa was overjoyed; it seemed the teleportation array was working properly.

What excited him even more was that if he mastered this teleportation array, he could use it to travel conveniently between Cangyuan and Jiulonghai in the future.

Although Ningfa really wanted to teleport away right now, he suppressed the impulse, after all, Xiaobing was still receiving the inheritance.

He was also very curious about who built this grand hall, left behind its legacy, and constructed this teleportation array that leads to Cangyuan.

Ning Fa also had a vague guess. Judging from the fact that Xiao Bing could receive the inheritance, the one who did these things was probably a high-level demon cultivator from the Ice Sea, or even a Nascent Soul demon cultivator.

Perhaps we'll get the answer once Xiaoice finishes receiving the inheritance.

Thinking of this made Ningfa even happier.

Over the next few days, Xiaoice continued to receive the inheritance, and there seemed to be no end in sight.

Ning Fa wasn't in a hurry, since there was no rush at this moment anyway. He could take this opportunity to carefully study the ancient teleportation array.

In fact, he had only just begun to understand the art of array formations, especially teleportation arrays. After all, the Demon Lord had left him a document containing his insights and experiences on building teleportation arrays.

Lan Dian, on the other hand, would often take Wen Hui with him to soak in the hot springs at the ice lake in the ice valley outside.

On that very day, Ning Fa, who was studying the teleportation array in that mysterious hall, suddenly changed his expression and immediately contacted Lan Dian through his mind: "Lan Dian, bring Wen Hui back quickly!"

At the same time, Ning Fa also looked in a certain direction with a slightly solemn expression.

He sensed that two powerful figures were rapidly approaching from three hundred miles to the northwest.

They were two demon cultivators in the late stage of the Transformation Realm.
