Chapter 502 Forced into Involvement
Xun Kun nodded, took out the Buddhist prayer beads Yun Chen had given him, but the beads didn't react at all. He frowned and said:
"Ranxi, are you sure they were also involved here?"

Yun Xi thought for a moment and said:
"I'm 80% sure that when the polar gales change, they will affect the Nascent Soul cultivators who haven't left the central area. Given Yun Chen's personality, he definitely won't stand idly by. They should try to save people, which will bring them closer to the center and increase their chances of being swept in."

“You’re right, but the prayer beads aren’t responding right now. Where do we even begin looking for them?”
Moreover, according to what Hanlian said before, there are cultivation level restrictions for entering this secret realm. Our cultivation levels are currently suppressed, which means that only Nascent Soul stage cultivators can enter the 'Misty Snow Domain.' Yet we've been dragged in. Don't you find that strange?"

Yunxi tugged at her snow-white cloak and said thoughtfully:

“You’re right. The Misty Snow Domain has a spirit that controls its entrance. Cultivators like us who don’t meet the entry requirements should be stopped outside the secret realm, but we both made it in.”

Xun Kun took two steps forward, his eyes flashed, and he blurted out:
"Ranxi, do you think some evil cultivators of similar strength to us have entered? In order to suppress these evil cultivators, the Spirit Realm has dragged us into this mess?"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes lit up; perhaps Xun Kun had indeed guessed correctly:

"Your speculation makes a lot of sense. Moreover, after I fought with that evil cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm in the middle, before I could even search his soul, he self-destructed his soul without the slightest hesitation."

After that, we never encountered any more evil cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage. Perhaps they used some special means to enter the Misty Snow Domain, and the spirit of the realm had no choice but to absorb us in to protect itself.”

Xun Kun said helplessly:
"We don't know the situation in the secret realm, or what we might encounter. We'd better reunite with Hanlian and the others as soon as possible."

Yunxi stood by the frozen lake and looked around. All she could see was a blanket of white snow. She took out the white ribbon she had bought in the Frozen City from her storage bracelet and used it to cover her almond-shaped eyes, so that the snow would not hurt them.

Xun Kun followed suit, taking off his own openwork mask and covering his eyes with a black ribbon of the same material.

After arming themselves, the two left the frozen lake.

After the two left the frozen lake, a huge polar bear silently emerged from the ice, looking at the two figures, one black and one white, with puzzlement in its large, jet-black eyes.

When the two cultivators fell into its territory, it was happy and spun around at the bottom of the lake, finally able to have a feast. But before it could get close, the two cultivators jumped out of the icy lake. Just as it was about to launch a sneak attack, it suddenly sensed a dangerous aura flowing through the female cultivator's body, which made it subconsciously stop its sneak attack.

It wasn't that it didn't covet the fat meat in its mouth, but rather that it feared it wouldn't live to enjoy it. As a fifth-tier ice beast, it had its own set of survival rules to become a dominant force in the secret realm, one of which was not to provoke opponents stronger than itself.

Moreover, it felt that the secret realm had been acting strangely lately. Before it opened, some cultivators with peculiar auras entered the place. After sensing the abnormality, it immediately hid back in its lair at the bottom of the icy lake and did not dare to show its face.

Later, Snow Sparrow brought news that many high-level ice beasts in the secret realm had perished and their remains were nowhere to be found. This frightened Snow Sparrow so much that it dared not leave the frozen lake even for a moment, for fear of being targeted by bad guys.

It finally decided to come out of its lair at the bottom of the lake today because it had received accurate information that those strange creatures had gone to the center of the secret realm and would not have time to bother them for the time being.

It was just about to come out for some fresh air and meet up with its old friends to see if they were still alive when another powerful cultivator entered the secret realm.

The ice bear poked its head out on the ice for a long time before finally sinking to the bottom of the frozen lake. It decided to wait until the secret realm closed, and now no one could make it leave the frozen lake.

Xun Kun and Ran Xi, who had gone some distance, tried to fly, but once again felt the suppression. It turned out that flying was forbidden here, so the two could only choose to shrink the distance to an inch to speed up their progress.

Xun Kun, realizing that the gaze behind him had disappeared, then spoke:

"Ranxi, why isn't it making a move?" Yunxi asked, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Seeking advantage and avoiding harm is the instinct of beasts. If it were facing one of us, it might give it a try, but facing both of us, it would just be offering us its fur. It's capable of cultivating to the fifth level; it's not that stupid."

Xun Kun smiled slightly and said:

"I really covet its fur; I'm sure it could be used to make a nice warm robe."

Yunxi chuckled. She also had her eye on the ice bear pelt, but since the other party wasn't making a move, and they were in a hurry to find Hanlian and the other two, neither of them wanted to waste time on this before figuring out the situation in the secret realm.

It can only be said that the polar bear was lucky, as its timid and cautious nature allowed it to escape the fate of being offered its fur.

They traveled through the snow for more than an hour without encountering any living creatures, not even any cultivators.

Xun Kun's terrible sense of direction was on full display in this place. Because he couldn't tell which way was which, he was worried that Yun Xi would also get lost in the vast white expanse, so he subconsciously said:
"Ranxi, let's rest for a while. After you confirm the direction, we'll move on."

Yunxi nodded indifferently. She was certain that the two of them were heading in the right direction and were moving away from the icy lake where they had first fallen. After walking for so long without encountering any living creatures, she guessed that the ice bear was quite domineering and no other spirit beasts dared to approach its territory.

Seeing that Yunxi did not object, Xun Kun took out his own magic house and placed it behind an ice slope, then invited Yunxi to go in and rest together.

Because the temple house had its own array, the two of them took off their cloaks after entering and each chose an empty room to start meditating and regulating their breathing.

The ice spiritual energy in the "Misty Snowfield" is abundant. Even if Yunxi does not circulate her cultivation technique, the ice spiritual energy will automatically enter her body because of her ice spiritual root, so her consumption is not great along the way.

Xun Kun was a bit behind; he was holding a magic stone to replenish his losses.

An hour later, Yunxi returned to her peak condition. Although her cultivation was suppressed, it did not affect her spiritual energy reserves. After finishing her meditation, she went to the reception room of the Dharma House, looked out the window at the vast white expanse, and began to review everything that had happened since entering the "Misty Snow Domain".

Xun Kun took an extra half hour to rest before arriving at the reception room. Seeing Yun Xi lost in thought, he said:

"Ranxi, are you done adjusting your breathing?"

Yunxi turned her head and said:
"Yes, the ice spiritual energy here is very abundant, which is compatible with my cultivation technique, and the recovery speed is also fast."

Xun Kun nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked:
"You seemed lost in thought just now, did you notice something?"

"I'm thinking about what that evil cultivator who transformed into a Nascent Soul cultivator said before."

"What did he say?"

He said we can't stop the return of the evil god!
