If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Shen Bai was left with only two choices.

One option is to try entering the ice coffin and unlocking the energy of the ice and snow.

But danger arises again.

Secondly, one should focus on improving proficiency here, further enhancing the supernatural abilities to achieve a qualitative leap in all supernatural abilities.

Both types have their downsides.

The first type will face a life-or-death crisis, or even a slim chance of survival.

The second option seems safe: wait until you've become invincible in this frozen wasteland before venturing out.

But if that's really the case, then the outside world has probably already become like this.

If Shen Bai had not interacted with the many people of the Great Zhou Kingdom, had not lived in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and had not gotten to know those people of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Perhaps the second option will be chosen.

However, within the Great Zhou Kingdom, Shen Bai already had someone he cared about.

Not only Zhou Qing, but also Qin Shuang and the other high-ranking officials of the Great Zhou Kingdom, all treated him very well.

Shen Bai was unwilling to see them all die at the hands of the chaotic organization.

Besides, if the Chaotic Organization were to destroy the world once again, even if he trained to become invincible, left the frozen forbidden land, and completely wiped out the Chaotic Organization, what would be the point?

Thinking of this, Shen Bai raised his hand and pointed at the void in front of him.

As Shen Bai circulated the Qi within his body, he immediately used the Hunyuan Gua Technique to test whether entering the ice coffin would bring good or bad fortune.

Before my eyes, a golden Bagua compass floated in mid-air.

It slowly rotated under Shen Bai's command.

At first, it was a terrifying, deep black, representing great misfortune and no hope of survival.

However, as Shen Bai continuously activated the Hunyuan Gua Technique, trying to deduce a glimmer of hope, the darkness before him vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, gold completely replaced black, becoming the sole color of the Bagua compass.

This signifies the disappearance of misfortune and the arrival of great fortune.

After completing the calculations, Shen Bai dispersed the golden compass and turned to look at the ice coffin placed in front of him.

Bingfeng was still standing next to Shen Bai, wondering what Shen Bai meant by standing there like a wooden sculpture.

However, he had some suspicions in his heart.

"He was probably scared, after all, this was a situation where there was no chance of survival."

"In the frozen wasteland, no matter what, it is a terrifying place where life and death are intertwined."

If it were him, he would probably have to think about it carefully to see if it was feasible.

The fact that Shen Bai is still standing here calmly in the face of life and death is already quite remarkable.

If Shen Bai chooses to confront the ice and snow energy head-on without hesitation, then Bingfeng would find it very strange.

Thinking of this, Bingfeng pondered for a moment before stepping forward and speaking.

"Forget it, it's actually quite nice to stay here. If you insist on going in, I won't stop you, but it would be pointless for you to lose your life like this."

"No matter how much the heavens and earth experiment, this place will always be isolated. Even the heavens and earth cannot find us, so why take this risk?"

He still intended to try to persuade him, because he was afraid that Shen Bai might not be thinking clearly and might suddenly decide to break through the source of the ice and snow energy.

To be honest, he also really wanted to break this place apart.

After the opening is broken, those tribesmen who were frozen by the ice and snow energy can also come out.

They will also restore the strength of the Ten Forbidden Zones, and can continue to serve as the so-called walls here.

But he knew that none of this was possible.

Shen Bai turned around and said, "We have to give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Bingfeng was slightly startled.

He thought that after his persuasion, Shen Bai would definitely stop acting this way.

But to everyone's surprise, Shen Bai still wanted to try entering the ice coffin.

Icebound pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"

"I'm sure you know the dangers of this trip without me having to tell you. If you don't want to, you can say so now. There are only the two of us here, and I won't laugh at you."

He felt it necessary to tell Shen Bai that although Shen Bai was very strong and could defeat experts at the Ascendant Realm despite being at the Immortal Realm, he was still able to overcome them.

However, it still pales in comparison to this terrifying icy energy.

After all, this ice and snow energy is from one of the ten forbidden areas. Even ordinary experts who have reached the pinnacle of their cultivation would be turned into ice sculptures in a short time if they came into contact with it.

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "Do you think I have a third option?"

“I don’t want to either, but I don’t want the world to die completely because of my choice.”

"If that's really the case, I'd rather be caught up in a long battle outside."

He understood; it wasn't just the auspicious sign described in the Hunyuan Guashu (a divination method), but also the reason he had just explained.

Even if this Hunyuan divination technique is an ominous sign, he will still go in and give it a try.

After hearing Shen Bai's words, Bingfeng sighed and said, "Open the coffin and step inside. The ice and snow energy will take you to the frozen land, which is the core of this sacred ice and snow mountain. Its coldness is tens of thousands of times stronger than it is now."

"I hope you can withstand it."

He knew very well that sometimes, advising others was meaningless.

Once a person has made a firm decision, no matter how much others try to persuade them, it will be like throwing a stone into the sea – it has no effect whatsoever.

Since that's the case, Bingfeng stopped trying to persuade him and simply told Shen Bai about the importance of the matter.

Shen Bai nodded, indicating that he understood.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Bingfeng said, "The pressure you face when you go in is actually the greatest. After all, the purpose of this ice-sealing energy is to prevent others from entering. You felt the slight opening just now, so I can help you get in."

At this point, Bingfeng took out a bead from his pocket and handed it to Shen Bai.

The bead was only the size of a thumb, entirely blue, and exuded a cold aura.

But when Shen Bai held the bead, he did not feel cold; instead, he felt a warmth.

Shen Bai asked in confusion, "How do I use this bead?"

Bingfeng explained, "This bead is called the Cold-Avoiding Bead. It was painstakingly created by our forbidden area to prevent any unexpected events from happening one day."

"With the Azure Frost Pearl in hand, you can remain unaffected by the aura within the ice coffin, but once you enter the interior of the Ice and Snow Sacred Mountain, the Frost-Avoiding Pearl will no longer be effective."

"When you face danger at that time, you will be fighting alone."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "That's fine too."

If he can get inside, he'll find a solution.

After all, the hexagrams in the Hunyuan Guashu (a divination method) wouldn't lie to him.

The most difficult part is the entrance, but now with this cold-avoidance bead, the danger of entering the sacred ice and snow mountain will be greatly reduced.

Everything that needed to be said has been said, and everything that needed to be discussed has been discussed thoroughly.

Shen Bai did not intend to stay any longer.

Then, he stepped forward and lifted the ice coffin in front of him.

Once the ice coffin was opened, it immediately emitted a terrifying chill.

A chilling aura surged into the sky, freezing even the clouds in the air with a terrifying layer of ice.

Even though they were from a sacred land of ice and snow, the people of Bingfeng were finding it extremely difficult to resist at this moment.

Shen Bai had a cold-repelling bead on him, so when these terrifying ice and snow energies landed on him, they dispersed to the side, as if they didn't want to hurt him.

Frozen struggled against the icy energy, shouting, "Hurry up and go in! If you don't go in soon, I won't be able to hold on much longer!"

Shen Bai nodded without further ado, jumped into the ice coffin from the outside, and even put the lid of the ice coffin on his head.

After Shen Bai entered, all the ice and snow energy disappeared, and the mountain returned to tranquility.

Bingfeng gazed at the perfectly still ice coffin, sat before it, and silently guarded it. No matter what, he would protect it for a while.

If Shen Bai can come out alive, that would be the best outcome. If he doesn't come out by the time his time is up, he will continue to enjoy endless loneliness here.

The ice and snow still covered everything in front of us, as if it were covered with a white blanket.

……

After Shen Bai fell into the ice coffin, he immediately felt a barrier coming from all directions.

He knew very well that this feeling of separation came from the power of space.

Beneath the ice coffin lies a completely new space.

The feeling of falling came from all directions.

At the same time, Shen Bai sensed that the separated ice and snow energy had increased once again.

The effect of the cold-repelling bead was rapidly fading, and after a few breaths, the darkness before my eyes returned to light.

He found himself in another world of ice and snow.

This place is full of high mountains.

The high mountains are covered with a blanket of white snow.

Apart from that, there was no sign of any living creature.

Feeling the solid ground beneath his feet, Shen Bai stepped onto the snow and used his Void-Breaking Golden Eye to encompass everything around him.

However, under the protection of his Void-Piercing Golden Eye, he did not discover anything unusual.

This is the world inside the sacred snow mountain, a space of its own.

A white light emanated from Shen Bai's flawless divine soul body as he warily surveyed his surroundings.

However, after searching carefully for a long time, they found nothing unusual.

Even so, he did not let his guard down.

Even if this place becomes peaceful, it is still the interior of the sacred snow mountain.

According to Bingfeng, the danger here is no less than that at the entrance.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai randomly selected a direction and used his Divine Speed ​​to fly forward.

Staying in one place won't lead to finding clues to unlocking the secrets of ice and snow energy.

So Shen Bai decided to search for it on his own first.

Surrounded by a vast expanse of snow, it's easy to lose your way when you're in the snow.

But Shen Bai will not be affected by this.

With the all-around monitoring of the Void-Breaking Golden Eye, traveling becomes effortless.

And so, Shen Bai used his Divine Speed ​​to travel thousands of miles, and after flying for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, an unusual situation finally appeared ahead.

In the distance, there was a colossal canyon.

The canyon soars into the clouds, appearing extremely magnificent and grand.

People can only pass through the middle.

The sky was azure, and the canyon was towering; this was a truly spectacular sight.

But Shen Bai had a feeling that danger was lurking everywhere.

"Something is wrong here."

Standing outside the canyon, Shen Bai did not immediately step inside.

That sense of danger lingered in my mind.

After a moment's thought, Shen Bai gradually compressed the range of his Void-Breaking Golden Eye and peered forward.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed something unusual ahead.

Inside the frozen canyon, in a very wide passageway, amidst the freezing cold, were ice sculptures suspended above.

Each ice sculpture is a living person.

Their appearance was incredibly lifelike, but they were covered in ice and snow and could not move at all.

Looking up, it was densely packed, stretching as far as the eye could see.

After taking in all the scenery, Shen Bai withdrew his Void-Breaking Golden Eye and fell into deep thought.

He knew very well that the group of ice sculptures in front of him were definitely his frozen people.

After being covered by the energy of ice and snow, it turned into this tragic state.

But here's the problem: how can Shen Bai break free from the ice and snow energy?

The bigger question is, where exactly is the so-called crisis now?

Thinking this, Shen Bai pondered for a moment and then walked forward.

In any case, now that we've come, we have only one purpose: to completely break the shackles of the frozen wasteland.

All he wants now is to get out of here.

Even if there is danger ahead, he has to give it a try.

As Shen Bai drew closer, the icy power grew stronger.

The white light of the flawless divine soul body was also constantly breaking and reforming.

When Shen Bai finally arrived at the entrance of the icy canyon, he stopped once again.

Ahead, the energy of ice and snow is becoming increasingly terrifying.

Within the icy energy, humanoid figures were gradually coalescing.

As the figures coalesced, a beautiful woman shrouded in ice and snow appeared before Shen Bai.

The woman was enveloped in icy energy, emanating an extremely dangerous aura.

Shen Bai immediately drew the Cold Moon sword from his waist and said calmly, "Who are you, and what is your identity?"

He could sense the danger emanating from the woman in front of him.

The reason it was dangerous was that the woman had locked all her energy onto her.

The woman didn't speak, but instead raised her left hand and pressed it down on Shen Bai.

Her left hand was shrouded in terrifying icy energy, as if the woman controlled the entire world.

Upon seeing this unusual phenomenon, Shen Bai immediately unleashed the Cold Moon.

The crimson sword energy, like a tidal wave, shot straight towards the woman.

Since they started fighting without saying a word, then let's fight.

Shen Bai arrived here fully prepared for battle.

The attacks between the two sides continued to exchange.

The canyon echoed with a series of booming sounds and began to tremble.

Just then, Shen Bai suddenly sensed a sense of danger emerging.

Immediately afterwards, he used his superhuman speed to retreat swiftly.

The figure of a woman reappeared where he had just left.

She looks exactly like the woman from before.

Shen Bai stopped and looked back.

The increasing snow and wind condensed into the figures of women, numbering over a thousand.

The chill emanating from each woman was terrifying, creating a suffocating feeling.

Shen Bai narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "This is going to be a tough battle." (End of Chapter)
