Swoosh!
Under the effects of the Star Shifting technique, Yun Xiao only felt a montary dizziness in his mind. When he regained consciousness, he found himself standing in an extrely unfamiliar place, with Mo Qing, Liu Hanyi, and the others nowhere to be seen.
"It's indeed a Space Artifact!"
As Yun Xiao stood in the midst of a thicket, watching a small stream flow by, the suspicion in his heart was confird. How could a great hall contain flowers, trees, and things within the stream?
Originally, Yun Xiao thought that if it was just a hall, no matter how hard treasures were to find, they would have long been taken by others.
But now, with such a Space Artifact, its actual size was unknown. If it was like the Demon Realm during the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, finding treasure would not be an easy task.
This ti entering the Refining Treasure Hall to seek treasures, Qian Sanyuan did not limit the number of items. This ant that within half a month, you could take as many treasures as you could find, whether ten or a hundred, nobody would complain.
"Let's start looking!"
Looking around, Yun Xiao found no better way. However, he was confident that if it ca to discerning skills, the other six who entered the Refining Treasure Hall's space couldn't compare to him.
"Buzz..."
Half a day later, as Yun Xiao followed the stream for about ten miles, he suddenly heard a peculiar noise which caught his attention and made him turn his gaze in a particular direction.
However, where he looked, there was nothing, which puzzled him. Still, he had great confidence in his instincts, knowing the feeling he had was no re illusion.
Without much hesitation, Yun Xiao headed in that direction. As he stepped on a certain ground, a burst of cold air erupted from his side, making him instinctively dodge.
Swoosh!
Yun Xiao barely avoided it when another burst of cold air erged from the direction he dodged to, as if anticipating his evasion.
Fortunately, Yun Xiao was not an ordinary cultivator at the Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage. Although he seed frozen in place, his entire body shifted two feet to the side, successfully avoiding the cold air.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh...
Though Yun Xiao reacted quickly, the cold air, seemingly endless and erging unpredictably, continued its attack. Yun Xiao moved his body gracefully like a dancer, constantly changing his position to avoid being hit by the strange cold air.
About thirty minutes later, when Yun Xiao stepped onto solid ground, the cold air ceased its attacks, as if triggered by so chanism.
This situation didn't relax Yun Xiao; instead, it heightened his sense of danger. He believed the cold air wouldn't simply relent. There must have been a difference in the position he stood compared to before.
Swoosh!
As this thought crossed his mind, Yun Xiao quickly extended his left foot to tap the ground beside him. Instantly, a stream of cold air erged, confirming his earlier suspicions.
"Could it be so kind of special array?"
Yun Xiao, not just a talented ridian Refining Master, had dabbled in array formations as well. Though not comparable to the Holy Rank array masters of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, he was unmatched on the Tenglong Continent.
Just like in the Thunder King Valley, where he instantly dismantled a suspected Heavenly Array, earning the awe of the Earth Rank Low Level array master.
But these cold airs, unpredictably erging now, gave Yun Xiao an odd feeling. It seed like an array, yet not one set by human cultivators, possibly more elusive and challenging to discern than man-made ones.
If it were an array by a Tenglong Continent array master, Yun Xiao would have absolute confidence in breaking it swiftly, even if it were a Heavenly Array. But if it were a Natural Formation, it would take much longer.
Trapped in the array now, with every step leading to attacks from the Ice Cold Qi, Yun Xiao wasn't worried about harm but had another idea.
"This natural array is so mysterious; there must be sothing ancient and formidable empowering it. I must see what you truly are!"
With this sudden thought, Yun Xiao decisively extended his right hand, and a burst of blood-red Ancestral Vein Fire erupted from his right palm.
Swoosh!
When the Ancestral Vein Fire of Yun Xiao erupted, that peculiar natural cold formation had a certain reaction. A blast of Ice Cold Qi burst from the ground, precisely targeting his Ancestral Vein Fire.
But how could this mysterious Ice Cold Qi be a match for Yun Xiao's Ancestral Vein Fire? In just the blink of an eye, the cold Qi was completely incinerated, vanishing without a trace.
Shush shush shush...
Yet such provocation seed to have angered the natural cold formation. Several blasts of Ice Cold Qi erged from beneath the ground, evidently attempting to smother Yun Xiao's Ancestral Vein Fire by sheer numbers.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Yun Xiao was not just a idle observer; his left hand and both legs, including his torso, moved rhythmically. Imdiately, four different attributes of Qi were summoned by him, forming a subtle link with the previous Ancestral Vein Fire.
At this mont, Yun Xiao naturally resorted to his Five Elents Ancestor Veins Power. However, he wasn't aiming to summon the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon, nor the potent Five Elents Light Beam ridian Techniques he displayed back at the Lingyun Sect; he had another plan in mind.
Since Yun Xiao knew even the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon might not be able to break this natural cold formation, and since he wanted to protect himself while seizing the treasure enhanced by the cold formation, the most straightforward thod was to break the array with another array.
Yun Xiao, as the Long Xiao Battle God in his past life, was a Holy Rank Array Master, though sowhat lacking compared to ridian Refining Techniques. Yet, executing so low-ranking arrays would pose no challenge to him.
Moreover, with the support of the Five Elents Ancestor Veins, Yun Xiao perford the Five Elents Array effortlessly. Moving his hands gracefully, the power of the Five Elents Ancestor Veins spread across five directions.
North Water, South Fire, West tal, East Wood, and Center Earth—at this mont, Yun Xiao's Five Elents Array did not differ greatly from ordinary Five Elents Attribute Array Formations. He simply relied on the explosive power within his Five Elents Ancestor Veins.
When the power of the Five Elents Ancestor Veins subtly ford an embryonic array, its power began to show. The four outer gold, wood, water, and fire points rotated relentlessly, driving changes to the central Earth Attribute Ancestor Vein Power.
Hoo...
At a certain instant, Yun Xiao's hand seals changed, and the Water attribute Ice Cold Ancestor Vein erupted with a chill. This cold Qi was more formidable than the cold Qi of the natural formation.
The Five Elents Array Yun Xiao controlled wasn't aimless; since the natural array's cold Qi was oppressive, countering cold with cold was his strategy. Besides, he had a hunch that using other attributes could damage the hidden Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Shush shush shush shush...
This cold Qi was more formidable compared to Yun Xiao's Ice Cold Ancestor Vein's Qi, and its attack further enraged the natural cold formation. Nurous chills erupted from beneath the ground, almost engulfing the cold Qi within Yun Xiao's Five Elents Array.
Crack crack crack!
At that mont, Yun Xiao's finger slightly moved, and the Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power, bolstered by the Five Elents, surged. While surrounded by the natural cold formation's Qi, it unleashed an unparalleled chill, freezing everything.
Thus, the initially clashing cold Qi was subdued under Yun Xiao's Ancestral Vein Ice Cold Power, transitioning from extre motion to extre stillness. Five rotating and flickering points appeared above the space connecting to the ground below, as if several crystalline pillars had erged, appearing remarkably mystical.
No matter how formidable the Ice Cold Power within the natural cold formation was, when confronted with Yun Xiao's Five Elents Array empowered by his Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power, it ultimately succumbed.
Crack crack crack...
Yun Xiao maintained his advantage, his hand seals constantly shifting, a chill continued to spread outward, creating a wondrous scene within the ten-zhang radius.
At the center with Yun Xiao, dozens of crystalline pillars stood within a ten-zhang radius, giving the appearance that Yun Xiao resided in a Crystal Palace, albeit sowhat small.
"It truly is a natural formation!"
By this ti, the feedback from his Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power left Yun Xiao without doubt. And after freezing so much cold Qi, he knew the natural cold formation was under control of his Five Elents Array, posing no threat to him.
Yun Xiao's technique of breaking the array with another array yielded exceptional results. Under this freezing, the natural cold formation's cold Qi couldn't harm him, and the hidden treasure might soon be revealed.
"Seems... to be right beneath my feet?!"
Utilizing the sensing ability of the Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power, Yun Xiao briefly closed his eyes to sense, then opened them with an odd expression. He looked down beneath his feet, where a peculiar energy seed to be awaiting exploration.
Upon realizing this, Yun Xiao didn't hesitate much. Discovering a treasure within half a day's ti was undoubtedly a good beginning, thus his mood was undoubtedly excellent.
