One person established a clan

Chapter 46 Taking the Jade Crystal

The wind and snow gradually picked up, casting a chilly and bleak atmosphere over the ancient town.

In the attic hall, forces from all sides gathered here, all concentrating their attention and being on guard against each other, and the air was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

"——Who is so audacious as to kill my sect's disciples?"

Until a loud shout filled with hidden anger suddenly exploded between the buildings, attracting everyone's attention.

The towering figure shattered the tabletop screen with a single punch, then stood up angrily and gazed towards the various halls where the various factions were stationed. "Stand out now, or I'll start a massacre!"

"Xu Qifeng, you are too arrogant."

The beaded curtain on the third floor suddenly parted, and a sinister smile emanated from beneath the snake-patterned mask: "You, the Qixuan Sect, are relying on your years of business here. Do you really think you can act recklessly under our noses?"

"Who do I think it is?"

The mighty man called Xu Qifeng glanced at them coldly: "So they are the thieves from Snake Valley."

"You're still trying to win over others with your words even after all this." A sneer suddenly came from the east wing: "The ones who died were from your Seven Profound Sect."

Xu Qifeng's face became even gloomier, and veins bulged out of his knotted muscles.

When the two sides were on the verge of a fight, an old man in a crane cloak appeared with a cane, holding the red railing with his hand, and looked around calmly.

"Now all the heroes have come here to break through the secret realm in the mountains, not to curse and attack each other."

"For the sake of my Ling Pavilion, please exercise some restraint."

As the old man spoke calmly, all the forces in the ancient building fell silent.

In the elegant seat of the west wing, Shen Chuan repeatedly rubbed the sword on his knees with his fingertips, his eyes piercing through the beaded screen curtain, gazing at the old man's body.

If we were to ask who among the many cultivators present was the most difficult to deal with, it would be none other than the elder from the Spirit Pavilion. When the secret realm's restrictions were unlocked, this person would also be the one we needed to be most wary of.

"Opportunities from heaven and earth are for those who are capable."

The old man stroked his long beard and said slowly, "My Spirit Pavilion will not interfere casually. We are only here to break the ice and snow restrictions that have been in place for many years in the mountains. Who will ultimately get the treasures depends on your final performance."

But before that, I hope everyone here can work together and not act rashly."

The pearl curtain of the side pavilion suddenly rippled, and four female generals in black armor were stationed in front of the door of the warm pavilion, always alert to the slightest movement around them.

The enchanting woman they protected was wrapped in fox fur and leaning against the soft couch, her white fingertips tapping lightly on the jade cup on the table.

Listening to the old man outside the door admonishing all parties, her delicate face turned slightly solemn.

“A lot of people came.”

Counting the forces in the hall, apart from the Qixuan and Snake Valley sects, there are still four other elite factions surrounding them, and there are more than ten masters in the Xinxuan realm.

Among them, only Old Man Huangshan from Ling Pavilion and Shen Chuan from Tianxiao Sect are the most difficult to deal with.

"Master." The armored female general beside him, her palms wet with sweat, said in a low voice, "There are many experts out there. We really need to fight for that treasure."

"I must have it." The enchanting woman pursed her red lips, her jade fingers tightening beneath her velvet robe. "I heard this is the 'Full Moon Jade Crystal,' which can help cultivators like me to condense our lives and gather stars. How can I miss such a precious treasure?"

"But, we in Shayinglou also have other treasures that can be used..."

"You haven't yet reached the state of Xinxuan perfection, and you don't understand the ins and outs of it." The enchanting woman clenched her knuckles until they turned slightly white. "If a Xinxuan cultivator wants to achieve 'True Pill', he must condense a destiny star, and in this lifetime he can only condense one 'Fixed Base Destiny Star' to lay the foundation for his cultivation.

Therefore, this talent for gathering life and stars must be handled with extreme caution and absolutely no carelessness is allowed. If there is even the slightest oversight, even if one steps into a higher realm in the future, it will leave hidden dangers."

"This"

The female generals around all looked solemn, and only then did they understand why they were coveted by all parties.

Such precious treasures are sought after by even the most powerful immortal sects and clans.

"Then Elder Huangshan from Ling Pavilion really won't compete with us for it?"

"We just need to be more careful."

The enchanting woman paused for a moment, then looked out the window with worry in her eyes. "I'm more worried about who else will show up, or even sneak in from the shadows."

Crack—the sound of ice crystals cracking was endless. As time passed, spider-web-like cracks had spread all over the ice cave, and the dome trembled as if it was about to collapse.

Su Cheng originally wanted to continue draining this 'Cang Xing Ying Yue Meridian' completely, but the system prompt popped up first.

[Absorbing the Coldness of the Full Moon: 80 Years]

[The spiritual energy of this spiritual vein is weakening, which will cause the secret realm to collapse. Should we continue to absorb it?]

"Is there really a secret realm?"

Su Cheng took advantage of the situation and withdrew his hand temporarily, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

But before he could think about it, he suddenly waved his sleeves and stretched out his body. His breath was like a frosty blade breaking through the air, and the silver flames around his body suddenly increased by three inches.

"The third destiny star is completed."

[Life Star: Full Moon, Cold Heart]

Su Cheng concentrated his mind and looked inward, only to see the icy light in his meridians interweaving into a formation, and frost patterns winding up along his arm bones.

Not only did his cultivation level improve a lot, but the spiritual energy he summoned was also mixed with a hint of frost and coldness.

He brushed off the frost and snow on his shoulders with satisfaction, and heard Shi Xuan muttering softly, "Ordinary people have to spend a lot of effort to condense the destiny star, but you succeeded so easily. If others saw this, they would probably grit their teeth."

"Miss Shi also had a hard time back then?"

"But it was a narrow escape."

Seeing him casually brushing off the snow, Shi Xuan was even more surprised: "Besides, I have never heard of anyone being able to condense three life stars in the Xinxuan realm."

"Maybe it's a physical problem?"

"Really, really?"

Shi Xuan was also somewhat bewildered. She had obviously never heard of any physical condition that could have such abilities.

Su Cheng laughed twice: "Miss Shi, don't worry too much. Let's find where the secret realm is first."

"Well, that's right." Shi Xuan sighed helplessly, but he didn't bother about it anymore.

After all, I've seen enough strange things happen to Su Cheng, so this one wouldn't be a big deal.
"Ok?"

Su Cheng paused and suddenly turned his head.

But the ice wall that was originally tightly closed suddenly peeled off during the tremors, revealing a deep and dark passage, with ice spikes like curtains adorning the dome.

"So simple?"

Su Cheng looked puzzled and tried to move forward to remove the ice debris, then pulled Shi Xuan forward step by step.

After passing through the ten-meter-long ice corridor, a dark palace carved from ice and jade suddenly appeared in front of us, with a frost-patterned dome hanging high like an inverted moon palace.

“This place looks.”

Su Cheng kept looking around, stroking the carved icicle beside him: "Shouldn't this be a secret realm created naturally by heaven and earth?"

Shi Xuan hummed, "This must be a cave left behind by a cultivator."

"Then if we break in now, won't we just be walking into someone else's house?"

"Young Master, there's no need to think so." Shi Xuan couldn't help but smile. "The fact that we were able to enter so easily proves that the restrictions here have long been gone. I think the owner of this place has been gone for more than a hundred years, so it can be considered an ownerless place."

Su Cheng nodded in understanding, and the two of them walked slowly on the frost-patterned floor tiles. Suddenly, they saw a cold pond lying in the hall, and ice crystal pavilions standing on the water.

"The original owner was quite leisurely and elegant, building a lake and pavilion within the palace."

He walked closer on the cracked ice steps and saw an ice flower blooming in the center of the stone table, with a crystal stone in the center of the flower holding up the flowing moonlight.
