Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 413 The Ice Palace Coffin (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"The Hidden Realm of the Icefield!"

Zhao Qi gazed at the palace that was faintly visible atop the distant iceberg, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

The architectural style of this ice palace is very different from that of the mainland. The eaves and brackets are covered with ancient ice that has been frozen for thousands of years, and each foundation stone is engraved with ancient runes.

Even more strangely, when they stepped into the area within a hundred feet of the Ice Palace, the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" at Li Yunjing's waist suddenly hummed, and the sword body emitted a seven-colored light.

This is a warning from a divine weapon!

The "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" is full of spiritual energy and is no ordinary top-grade spiritual weapon!

The "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" was originally very spiritual. After being reshaped by Li Yunjing, it took into account both Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. These forces can even evolve the world, let alone spirituality.

At this moment, Li Yunjing became alert as soon as the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" made a move.

He wouldn't remain unresponsive to the unusual activity of the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword".

"Be careful, there's something strange about this ice palace."

Before Li Yunjing could finish speaking, the ice beneath Zhao Qi's feet suddenly cracked, and countless icicles burst forth from the ground, trapping the two of them in the center.

Amidst flashes of cold light, twelve ice-armored golems approached from all directions, each golem's chest inlaid with a mysterious blue ice bead.

"My lord, these puppets seem to be the mechanical puppets of the most powerful 'Guanghan Palace' in the East Sea ten thousand years ago!"

Zhao Qi seemed to remember something and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"The Moon Palace?"

Li Yunjing was taken aback by these words.

You should know that the "Moon Palace" is a place from mythology and legend!

In the world of cultivation, are there any forces that dare to use this name?
If there is any connection with the "Guanghan Palace" on the "Taiyin Star," then privately giving it such a name would be creating karma with immortals and gods!

It's like if the name "Shenxiao Daozong" were taken over by another force.

If in the future, if any cultivators of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" have extraordinary talent and ascend to heaven, the ancestors of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" in heaven will not let them go!

These traditions must have a clear provenance!

Could this "Guanghan Palace" really be a lineage from heaven?
Zhao Qi was referring to the "Guanghan Palace" from ten thousand years ago. Could it be that such a prestigious sect has perished?

At that moment, before Li Yunjing could ask any further questions, he saw the twelve ice-armored puppets launch an attack on Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi using the "Twelve Yellow Palace Demon-Slaying Formation".

"Impressive! These puppets are all low-grade third-tier 'puppet mechanical beasts'! The Ice Palace has quite the resources!"

Li Yunjing's pupils contracted sharply, and he finally understood why there were no cultivators around here.

Clearly, the "Lingyuan Island" secret realm has existed for many years, and many forces have explored it, suffered great losses, and dared not set their sights on it again.

Which faction can stand against twelve Tier 3 Low-Grade "Puppet Mechanical Beasts"?

This is still just the outer perimeter!
What's inside?
As long as the "Lingyuan Island" secret realm continues to restrict the power of cultivators, it will be impossible for anyone to break through here, enter the Ice Palace, and obtain the treasures inside!
This was Li Yunjing's first time here, and he stubbornly wanted to go in and take a look!
Why didn't Zhao Qi remind her?

Li Yunjing is so amazing!
Zhao Qi thought that Li Yunjing already knew about the situation here.

Since Li Yunjing wasn't worried, how could she possibly try to dissuade him?

Isn't this looking down on her own man?
"Watch out for their combined attack!"

At this moment, facing the attack of the twelve "puppet mechanical beasts", Li Yunjing used the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" to protect himself and counterattacked with the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword".

Wherever the sword energy passed, the ice shards shattered.

As for Zhao Qi, she can't be of any help here. Li Yunjing has given her a low-grade magic shield, and that's enough for her to be careful and protect herself.

The ice-type divine power that was just released after shattering these "puppet mechanical beasts".

More ice spikes shot out from the ground, while the twelve "puppet mechanical beasts" relentlessly attacked Li Yunjing!
These "puppet mechanical beasts," though made of ice, are actually extremely hard, comparable to divine iron.

Each time these "puppet mechanical beasts" were struck by Li Yunjing's attack, they would absorb the surrounding icy energy.

The blue bead on his chest reattached to his body, restoring it to its original state.

"It seems that these beads are the source of power for these puppet mechanical beasts!"

Li Yunjing immediately understood what was going on.

A cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, and the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" in his hand suddenly trembled, the sword body radiating five-colored light, and the power of the five elements flowed endlessly on the sword's edge.

The "Five Elements Seal" instantly sealed away a "puppet mechanical beast"!
Instead of fighting a fierce battle with twelve "puppet mechanical beasts," it's better to take them down one by one!

The five-colored divine light was released, forming an inverted golden bell that trapped Li Yunjing and the "puppet mechanical beast" within a sealed space!
A group of "puppet mechanical beasts" from the outside world attacked with ice spikes, causing the Five Elements Golden Bell to make a "clanging" sound!

However, the "Five Elements Seal" remained sturdy and could not be broken in a short period of time.

The seal won't last long!
Li Yunjing dared not waste a single moment. His figure flashed, turning into a blur, and he instantly approached the "puppet mechanical beast".

"Since you're relying on these beads to recover, then I'll destroy them first!"

With a loud "boom", he raised his left palm and sent a "Bing Fire Divine Thunder" straight towards the blue bead on the chest of the "Puppet Mechanical Beast".

"Roar……"

However, just as the "Binghuo Divine Thunder" was about to touch the bead, the "Puppet Mechanical Beast" suddenly let out a low roar, and the surrounding cold air suddenly condensed, forming an ice wall that blocked the sword's edge.

Even without intelligence, this "puppet mechanical beast" still instinctively sensed the threat!

That's why he used ice-based defensive techniques in an attempt to block Li Yunjing's fatal blow!
This "puppet mechanical beast" is crafted to a very high standard, and it already possesses a trace of sentience, so it is not like an inanimate object that relies solely on its master's settings to attack.

"Crack!"

The ice wall was blasted to pieces by the "Binghuo Divine Thunder", and ice shards flew everywhere!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the "puppet mechanical beast" quickly retreated, attempting to break free from the "Five Elements Seal" and escape, thus forming an encirclement with the other "puppet mechanical beasts".

However, this "puppet mechanical beast" overestimated its own strength and underestimated Li Yunjing's combat power!
"continue!"

Li Yunjing gave a cold shout, and flames reappeared in his palm. One after another, the "Binghuo Divine Thunder" thunderballs carrying "Samadhi True Fire" continued to smash towards the chest of the "puppet mechanical beast"!

"Boom! Boom!"

Three consecutive "Binghuo Divine Thunder" exploded on the "Puppet Mechanical Beast" body, and the blue bead was blown away and turned into fragments!

Without the blue bead, the "puppet mechanical beast" seemed to have lost its source of power, and it lost all its ferocity, standing motionless in place.

That ice body, comparable to divine iron, was actually shattered by the "Bing Fire Divine Thunder" and burned to ashes under the "Samadhi True Fire"!
"Crack! Click!"

At that very moment, the "Five Elements Seal" broke.

The remaining eleven "puppet mechanical beasts" simultaneously opened their huge mouths and spewed out countless ice spikes, attacking Li Yunjing like a torrential rain!

"Hmph! How dare you be so insolent, you mere inanimate object!"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly and suddenly waved the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" in his hand, causing poisonous mist to spread and corrode all the ice spikes.

Seeing that the ice-based magical abilities were ineffective against Li Yunjing, the eleven "puppet mechanical beasts" simultaneously raised their front claws, and the ground instantly cracked open, with countless ice spikes shooting out from the ground, forming a huge ice prison that trapped Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi inside.

The temperature inside the ice cell plummeted, and even the air seemed to freeze.

The entire ice prison seemed to be freezing into a block of ice, completely freezing Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi to death inside.

"Husband!"

Seeing this, Zhao Qi felt a pang of anxiety and wanted to rush forward to help, but even with a superior ice spirit root, it was difficult for her to move around here.

"do not worry!"

Inside the ice prison, Li Yunjing's expression remained calm.

He took a deep breath, his true essence circulated wildly within his body, the "Creation Divine Eye" opened, and the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" drew out a surge of thunderous power. With a "boom," this divine thunder suddenly erupted with dazzling light.

The cage was smashed to pieces!

"Heavenly Net!" The moment the ice prison shattered, Li Yunjing shouted, and the "Heavenly Net" flew out from his sleeve, once again trapping the two "puppet mechanical beasts".

Having trapped the two "puppet mechanical beasts" in one go, Li Yunjing seized the opportunity, his figure as fast as lightning, and thrust the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" straight at the chest bead of one of the "puppet mechanical beasts"; with his other hand, he threw out the "Myriad Lotus Lantern"!
The "Myriad Lotus Lantern" was of extremely high quality, and Li Yunjing used it as a projectile. How could the "Puppet Mechanical Beast" withstand it?
"Crush it for me!"

With two loud bangs, the blue beads on the chests of the two "puppet mechanical beasts" shattered instantly!

Even the two "puppet mechanical beasts" let out a shrill roar, their bodies rapidly disintegrating into a pile of shattered ice.

"The pressure has been greatly reduced!"

After slaying three "puppet mechanical beasts" in succession, a hint of joy flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes. Without stopping, he continued to rush towards the next "puppet mechanical beast".

The remaining nine "puppet mechanical beasts" seemed to sense the danger. They stopped acting alone and quickly gathered together, forming a peculiar formation.

The blue beads on the chests of each puppet mechanical beast began to emit a dazzling light, and they seemed to have formed some kind of connection with each other.

"Oh no, they're merging!"

Li Yunjing's heart tightened, and he immediately increased the speed of his attack.

However, by the time Li Yunjing acted, it was already too late. The bodies of the nine "puppet mechanical beasts" began to merge, eventually transforming into a gigantic frost behemoth.

This colossal beast stood tens of meters tall, its entire body covered in thick ice armor, with a huge blue crystal on its chest that emanated a chilling aura.

"Roar……"

The frost behemoth let out a deafening roar, raised its massive claws, and slammed them down at Li Yunjing.

"Good heavens! After the fusion, this behemoth's energy level has reached the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm!"

Faced with the raging beast, Li Yunjing dared not take it head-on and dodged rapidly. However, the beast's attack range was extremely large, and even though he was fast, the aftershocks still caused his blood and qi to surge.

"This is troublesome..."

Li Yunjing frowned. He didn't want to waste those rare treasures on these "puppet mechanical beasts"!
Such expenditure is somewhat counterproductive!

There's absolutely no benefit to killing the Frost Behemoth!

After these "puppet mechanical beasts" were destroyed, not a single material was left behind; they simply turned into ice water.

This put Li Yunjing in a very difficult position!
Working yourself to the bone is not cost-effective at all!

Just as Li Yunjing was hesitating, Zhao Qi's voice suddenly came: "Husband, catch this!"

Li Yunjing turned his head and saw Zhao Qi throw out a talisman that was flashing red light.

He reached out and grabbed the talisman, immediately feeling a surge of intense energy emanating from it.

"This is... a high-level, third-tier fire-type talisman?"

Li Yunjing's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Zhao Qi's intention.

It seems this item is Zhao Qi's life-saving treasure!

Zhao Qi was also clever. Knowing that she was an ice-type spiritual root cultivator, she was afraid of being restrained by others, so she actually bought a fire-type divine power talisman at a high price!
With this talisman, Li Yunjing had a solution in mind!
Without hesitation, he affixed the talisman to the blade of the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword," and frantically poured his fire-elemental true essence into it.

Instantly, the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" ignited with a raging "Samadhi True Fire," and the fire element among the five elements was fully activated.

"Fire beats ice, let's see how you block this!"

Li Yunjing shouted and leaped up, aiming for the head of the frost behemoth.

The "Samadhi True Fire" on the sword's edge was activated to its limit. This divine fire collided with the beast's chilling aura, producing a hissing sound, and the ice armor melted rapidly under the high temperature.

"Roar……"

The frost behemoth seemed to sense the threat and frantically swung its giant claws, trying to smash Li Yunjing above its head.

However, Li Yunjing's movements were extremely agile, and he was able to dodge the attacks at the last second each time. He firmly rooted himself on the head of the frost behemoth and kept using the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" to pierce various parts of the frost behemoth's head.

"Crash..."

The frost behemoth was extremely strange. Whenever its head was about to melt, the huge blue bead on its chest emitted a bright blue light, gathered power again, formed a new layer of ice, and repaired the frost behemoth's head.

"No! How can we wear it down like this? I'm afraid my fire talisman won't last that long!"

Li Yunjing frowned, gritted his teeth, and jumped down, appearing in front of the Frost Beast. The blade of the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" pointed directly at the blue bead on the beast's chest!
"Break it for me!"

Li Yunjing roared, and the seven-colored light of the entire "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" disappeared. The sword body, like a flame, carried boundless power and instantly pierced through the blue crystal.

"Crack!"

The frost behemoth let out a mournful howl, and its massive body began to disintegrate, eventually turning into countless shards of ice that scattered across the ground.

"It's finally over! If my attack power hadn't been strong enough to break through the weaknesses of these 'puppet mechanical beasts,' there wouldn't have been anything anyone else could have done if they had discovered those weaknesses!"

Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief, and the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" in his hand returned to its original seven-colored sword body.

As for Zhao Qi's talisman, it had long since turned to ashes and disappeared completely.

Li Yunjing turned to look at Zhao Qi and smiled slightly: "Thank you. If it weren't for your talisman, I really wouldn't have been able to deal with this guy."

"You said it yourself, there's no need for us to say 'thank you' to each other!"

Zhao Qi shook her head, a hint of apology on her face: "I'm the one who dragged you down. If I weren't so weak, you wouldn't have to work so hard."

"hehe!"

Li Yunjing waved his hand and laughed, "Don't say that. It's already quite good that you thought of using fire-type talismans at this crucial moment. Next, we still need to be careful, there are probably more 'puppet mechanical beasts' here than just these."

"Hmm! Are we really going in?"

Zhao Qi nodded, a hint of worry in her eyes.

There are already twelve Tier 3 "Puppet Mechanical Beasts" in the outside world, so who knows what other terrifying restrictions and formations might be inside the Ice Palace?
"Give it a try! If it doesn't work, we'll retreat!"

Li Yunjing smiled and said calmly.

"Alright! Then you must be careful!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing had not given up his idea of ​​continuing to explore, Zhao Qi did not say much, but only told him to be careful.

The two arrived at the foot of the ice palace and stood at the entrance, looking up at the towering building like ants!
Zhao Qi was suddenly startled, pointed at the gate of the Ice Palace, and exclaimed, "Look!"

The huge, iceberg-like door, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened, its creaking sound particularly eerie in the cold wind.

Once the door was fully open, Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi looked inside through the doorway.

The entire hall is ten miles in size!
Inside the ice palace, everything was made of ice. Apart from the ice sculptures, there was only a floating crystal coffin deep inside!
The crystal coffin was not large, only about 15 feet long.

The crystal coffin was transparent, allowing a clear view of everything inside.

To Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi's shock, there was a corpse lying in the coffin!
That was the corpse of a young girl!

The girl lay flat in the coffin, dressed in an ice silk robe, her skin as white as snow, with a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, and various burial objects around her.

None of these burial items were of any rank three or lower!

What alarmed Li Yunjing even more was that seven demon cores of different attributes were floating inside the coffin, and the faint energy emanating from them made Li Yunjing tremble with fear.

"Is this the demon core of a fourth-tier demon beast?"

Li Yunjing's expression finally changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He suddenly remembered that ancient records stated that if certain powerful beings of antiquity were seriously injured, they would use themselves as the core of a formation to absorb the essence of demonic beasts to recover from their injuries and seek rebirth.

The scene before him was clearly beyond Li Yunjing's comprehension. The seven demon cores corresponded to the positions of the Big Dipper, and the crystal coffin was located in the North Pole Purple Palace.

Is this a resurrection ritual?

Or is this young girl a powerful being, severely injured, and recovering from her injuries in this way?
At this moment, Li Yunjing chickened out!

The crystal coffin contained treasures rarely seen in the world, but he dared not take them!
