After Chen Mobai stepped into the Shaoyin Cave, he discovered that it was a vast natural ice cave. Inside, the space was wide, and the ceiling hung with long, sword-like icicles. The ground was also covered with a layer of hard ice.
Mysterious lights shone at the top of the ice cave, the light reflecting and refracting between the ice walls, making the entire cave appear colorful and dreamlike, as if one was in a magical rainbow world.
No wonder the Three Veins of Ice Heaven called this place the "Illusion Color Spirit Cave."
In a daze, Chen Mobai had already reached deep inside the ice cave, where it was even more spacious and bright. The surrounding ice walls shimred with tiny glows from the ice crystals, and there was a hint of a cold fragrance.
Amidst the fragrance, Chen Mobai felt his Divine Sense begin to scatter, so he quickly focused his heart and mind, igniting the Pure Yang True Fire around him.
After the fragrance dissipated, he saw that the ice crystal walls were filled with illusory human figures and shining text.
Clearly, this was the legacy of Ice Heaven.
Under his Divine Sense at the Spirit Transformation Stage, these figures seed alive, performing various movents, even showing ridian illustrations, combined with text, forming the lost Cultivation Technique of Ice Heaven.
Chen Mobai scanned all the figures and text on the ice crystal walls into the Heavenly Calculation Bead, then used the Law of the Five Tones to simply comprehend it once.
He found it was a complete version of the Shaoyin Scripture within the Three Yin Scripture.
From Qi Cultivation to Divinity Transformation, even the nurous divine secret skills, elixir formulas and secret dicine, as well as the refinent of Magic Artifacts—everything was included.
But what was absent was the thod of refining the Shaoyin Dao Fruit, which Chen Mobai cared about the most.
He thought it might be deeper in the cave, so he continued forward, but soon he reached the end, seeing the ice crystal waterfall outside the cave entrance. Chen Mobai felt he might have missed sothing along the way, so he turned back, but during the return, a strong resistance erged, trying to forcibly restrain him, making him immobile.
Han Xingzi had once said that once entering this Illusion Color Spirit Cave, one couldn’t walk back the sa path.
After walking through once, whatever was comprehended was what it was.
But for Chen Mobai, it wasn’t the case.
He directly used Void Walk, teleporting back to the initial three-way cave entrance.
He re-entered the Shaoyin Cave, keeping the Heavenly Calculation Bead fully activated, scanning everything in the ice cave.
But after walking out the entrance again, Chen Mobai compared it and found no differences.
That ant, although the Illusion Color Spirit Cave contained the legacy of the Three Yin Scripture, it still didn’t have Chapters about Dao Fruit and Cultivating Void.
The secret-keeping concerning the Cultivation Technique by Ice Heaven was borderline excessive.
This was Chen Mobai’s first thought.
He looked up towards Snow Cloud Peak.
There was the site of Jade Shatter True Monarch’s nirvana. If the contents about Dao Fruit and Cultivating Void were left behind, it clearly would only be there.
However, he waited for a long ti, yet didn’t see Han Xingzi or Luo Ying Shangren coming out from the other two cave entrances.
Chen Mobai had thought they were rather dull, unlike him who could quickly comprehend the legacy within the Illusion Color Spirit Cave, so he waited for a while longer.
But after three full days, he still hadn’t seen them erge.
Chen Mobai beca sowhat puzzled, so he directly used Void Walk again, returning to the three-way cave entrance.
He followed the path leading into the Taiyin Cave, used by Han Xingzi, and midway, he again slled that mysterious cold fragrance.
Soon, he spotted Han Xingzi unconscious in the cave.
After scanning the entire Taiyin Scripture there, Chen Mobai pointed a finger at Han Xingzi’s forehead. Under the Fla Lighting Technique, he quickly resolved the mysterious fragrance within him.
With a heavy breath, Han Xingzi awoke, instinctively unleashing a powerful Cold Light Divine Ability, which was suppressed and crushed by Chen Mobai’s single finger.
"Awake now?"
As Chen Mobai’s voice reached his ears, Han Xingzi finally opened his eyes and imdiately expressed gratitude to Chen Mobai.
"Thank you, Sect Master Chen, for your help. Without you, I might never have awakened."
"Oh, do you know what happened?"
Chen Mobai asked, sowhat surprised.
Han Xingzi nodded wryly and said, "This is the Spiritual Awakening Fragrance of our Ice Heaven’s legacy. It’s said that the ancestor obtained a peculiar tree from the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace, and upon ignition, it can burn for a thousand years. Cultivators slling it can enter the deepest ditation stage, assisting in comprehending Cultivation Techniques and legacy, though it’s only usable by God-Transcending cultivators. Nascent Soul cultivators slling too much of it are easily lost in the ditation. Initially, when several ancestors of our Jade Shatter Hall entered the mausoleum, they could sll this fragrance, identifying it as burning on Snow Cloud Peak, but by now it should have extinguished..."
After hearing Han Xingzi’s words, Chen Mobai speculated a possibility.
"Do you think Jade Shatter True Monarch on Snow Cloud Peak might still be alive?"
Chen Mobai’s statent made Han Xingzi shiver, showing a frightened expression.
"Sect Master Chen, you surely know how to joke."
Han Xingzi swallowed, laughing nervously.
"You should leave first, I’ll go and awaken Luo Ying Shangren as well."
Chen Mobai gestured toward the end of the cave entrance. Although Han Xingzi didn’t know how he could avoid the restriction, he wisely refrained from asking more. A God-Transcending cultivator having so tricks was normal.
Watching Han Xingzi’s silhouette vanish, Chen Mobai transford into silvery light, disappearing from the spot.
But after walking through the Mysterious Yin Cave, Chen Mobai didn’t find any trace of Luo Ying Shangren.
He frowned deeply.
How could such a large living person simply vanish?
Perhaps she wasn’t affected by the Spiritual Awakening Fragrance and managed to leave on her own?
Thinking this, Chen Mobai scanned the Mysterious Yin Scripture here into the Heavenly Calculation Bead, completing the Three Yin Scripture before stepping out of the Illusion Color Spirit Cave.
At the end of the cave entrance, Chen Mobai saw only Han Xingzi.
"Where’s Junior Sister?"
Seeing Chen Mobai erge alone, Han Xingzi asked sowhat surprised.
Chen Mobai’s expression turned serious, looking at Han Xingzi intently for a while, until the latter’s heart beat intensely. Only then did he sigh and say, "She’s not in the cave. I thought she left ahead. Since you haven’t seen her, it seems there’s trouble."
On hearing this, Han Xingzi’s face turned pale.
To mysteriously vanish under the noses of God-Transcending cultivators was sowhat terrifying for him.
"Could it be..." Pulling together the Spiritual Awakening Fragrance and Chen Mobai’s words, Han Xingzi looked towards Snow Cloud Peak, stuttering.
"Let’s go, now our only option is to check the mountain peak."
When Chen Mobai said this, the Heavenly Blessing had already issued another warning.
This was already very clear.
There was a force on the mountain peak that could threaten him.
Combining the mysterious disappearance of Luo Ying Shangren and the sudden ignition of the Spiritual Awakening Fragrance, it represented a living presence on Snow Cloud Peak.
But whether or not it was Jade Shatter True Monarch was unknown.
As Chen Mobai spoke, Han Xingzi appeared hesitant.
He rembered when they entered this ice-sealed mausoleum last ti, an elder from their Jade Shatter Hall suddenly turned into an ice sculpture and plumted lifelessly from the mountain after passing the waterfall onto Snow Cloud Peak.
However, during that ti, Luo Ying Shangren had sensed the presence of the Mysterious Yin Dao Fruit’s aura on the mountain top and generated resonance with a Secret Technique.
"Senior, why don’t you go up while I wait here for you?"
Eventually, Han Xingzi shalessly spoke, Chen Mobai gave him a glance, and with the latter unable to maintain eye contact, lowered his head. Without saying anything, Chen Mobai directly rode the Fla Dragon, flying toward Snow Cloud Peak.
Watching Chen Mobai depart, Han Xingzi breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned, pondering whether to go toward the waterfall drop-off point, as there lay a snowy path directly leading to Mirror Lake, allowing return to the entrance opened by the Mysterious Yin Talisman.
However, if he truly abandoned Chen Mobai in the ice-sealed mausoleum, heading off alone, the Five Elents Sect might topple over Ice Heaven’s Three Veins later.
Although the matter needed to be kept secret, the God-Transcending cultivators from the Three Great Sacred Lands knew it.
Even if the Three Great Sacred Lands wouldn’t seek revenge for Chen Mobai, it was effortless for them to inform the Five Elents Sect.
Thinking of this, Han Xingzi gritted his teeth, summoned the Taiyin Treasure Pearl, intending to wait by the cave entrance, ready to flee if necessary.
At that ti, he would claim that Sect Master Chen sacrificed himself to save him, and Junior Sister Luo Ying Shangren also fell in the mausoleum.
Putting the Five Elent Sect under the spotlight should suffice, considering the righteous path wouldn’t wipe them out.
Just as Han Xingzi arrived under the ice crystal waterfall, a sudden tremor shook the earth.
The eternal, majestic mountain top was encircled by a Fla Dragon ablaze, the dense mist at the mountaintop started dissipating under the fiery breath, revealing the true face never seen by the Three Veins of Ice Heaven.
