Chapter 1368

Xuan Chi

When the entire Ice and Fire Dual Polarity Palace shook, the talisman in the cage suddenly trembled and emitted a buzzing sound.

"I can sense the trace of origin energy that I purposely released. That young man has come to the Ice and Fire Dual Polarity Palace. He has come to keep his promise."

An ancient voice rang out from the cage. The talisman floating in the middle of the cage started to tremble like a human, as if it was filled with excitement.

"Young man, as long as you can reach the eighth floor, I will be able to pull you to the eighteenth floor. I will give you endless benefits as long as you do not disappoint me."

The distant voice rang out from the bottom of the Ice and Fire Dual Polarity Palace. It spread upwards, passing through layer after layer of barriers, and reached the sixth floor where Zhuowen was.

"Hmm?

This is … the talisman spirit's voice? "

Zhuowen, who was on the sixth floor, turned serious. The Ice and Fire Saint Talisman on the back of his hands flickered, and the talisman spirit's voice rang out in his ears.

"Kid!

Do you plan to enter the eighth floor immediately? "Xiao Hei suddenly asked.

Zhuowen shook his head and said, "Let's wait a little longer. I need to understand the law of the fusion of ice and fire energy. I feel that I am not far from the equilibrium point of the fusion of ice and fire energy. I just need a little more time."

"Then you should enter the seventh floor. The ice and fire energy there should be able to give you more inspiration," Xiao Hei said indifferently.

Zhuowen nodded when he heard this. He walked along the path of ice and fire step by step. When he reached the end, he stepped onto the stairs and ascended to the seventh floor.

"Hmm?

The scenery on the seventh floor is different from the sixth floor? "

When he entered the seventh floor, Zhuo Wen's eyes revealed a startled expression because the scene on the seventh floor was no longer a large hall surrounded by stone pillars of fire and ice, but a long bridge.

The surface of the long bridge was covered in pure white snow, and below the bridge was a sea of lava. At the end of the bridge, ice and lava intersected, forming an arc of ice and fire. It looked exceptionally strange.

"The ice and fire energy here is much stronger than on the sixth floor."

Zhuo Wen muttered in a low voice as he walked towards the end of the long bridge.

As he walked, the ice and snow above the bridge drifted and gathered into a terrifying snowstorm. The lava under the bridge raged and turned into a fire dragon that was thousands of feet long.

The snowstorm and fire dragon roared at the same time, sandwiching Zhuowen in the middle. Ice and fire intertwined, producing a terrifying energy that crushed Zhuowen's body, causing Zhuowen's body to freeze and his speed to slow down.

This ice and fire energy even began to corrode Zhuowen's body.

Zhuowen furrowed his brows. With a wave of his sleeve, he summoned the Four Kill Array, which revolved around his body. Immediately, the ice and fire energies that were squeezing towards him were blocked by the Four Kill Array, unable to get close to Zhuowen.

Zhuowen's footsteps did not change as he strode forward. Soon, he arrived at the end of the long bridge.

Quietly staring at the arc formed by the fusion of ice and fire, Zhuowen revealed a thoughtful look.

"This arc has a good balance between the ice and fire energies."

Zhuo Wen muttered softly. His eyes flickered with light. Then, he sat down cross-legged on the ground and stared at the arc of ice and fire energy in front of him.

Zhuowen did not compete for the ranking. Ever since he entered the Ice and Fire Dual Polarity Palace, the ranking did not mean much to him. Because what he wanted was not what the ranking could give him.

After all, what he wanted was the core of the Ice and Fire Dual Polarity Palace, the main body of the Ice and Fire Sacred Symbol.

"Yang Yi has arrived at the thirteenth floor. His speed is too fast. This guy doesn't seem to be hindered by the ice and fire energies." Above the clouds, the people sitting around the round table burst into an uproar.

This time, Yang Yi was far ahead of the others. The second place, Fu Yu, was only on the eleventh floor, and his speed was constantly decreasing. Perhaps his limit was the twelfth floor.

Jian Mu and Ding Xinghuo were on the tenth floor, third and fourth respectively.

There were four people on the ninth floor. Among them, Xu Lingping of the Hidden Sword Peak, Xuan Chi of the Mysterious Underworld Peak, and Mu Chenxue of the Sky Capital Peak were all on the ninth floor. The fourth person was a girl named Gatha.

This name was extremely unfamiliar to the people at the round table. They had never heard of this disciple before.

"Shi Tianhua, this Gatha is from your Great Void Peak. Is she your new direct disciple?" Old Man Tiandu asked Shi Tianhua, who was dressed as a Taoist priest.

Shi Tianhua smiled and said, "I'm not talented. I just accepted her as a direct disciple half a year ago."

"A direct disciple accepted half a year ago can actually reach the ninth floor of the Ice and Fire Dual Polarity Palace. Isn't this speed a little too fast?"

"Shi Tianhua, it seems that you have accepted a good disciple."

"Her talent is almost on par with Mu Chenxue of the Sky Capital Peak. She might even surpass her master."

At the round table, everyone's focus was suddenly on Gatha. Shi Tianhua, who was originally calm, could not help but smile. There was a trace of pride in his smile.

Gatha's talent was even stronger than Ding Xinghuo of the Great Void Peak. It was only a matter of time before she surpassed Ding Xinghuo.

Shi Tianhua was extremely glad that he had wandered around the bottom of the Nine Peaks and found Gatha, this beautiful jade. He knew that as Gatha's cultivation increased in the future, she would definitely shine in the Inner Yard and even the Ninth Netherworld Realm.

While everyone was discussing, Shao Yu was dejected. The two direct disciples of Ao Yuan Peak, Zhuowen and Lu Qing, were behind the others.

Lu Qing was still on the eighth floor, and Zhuowen was on the seventh floor. There was a big gap between them and the previous ones.

"Damn it, it seems that Ao Yuan Peak is going to be ranked last again. I'm afraid that those old guys will mock and ridicule us."

Shao Yu cursed in a low voice and sighed in his heart. However, he did not blame Zhuowen. Zhuowen had joined Ao Yuan Peak for too short a time. Even if he had the strength to kill an Eighth Level Emperor Realm expert, there was still a gap between him and the top geniuses of the other main peaks.

However, Shao Yu believed that if Zhuowen was given enough time, he would naturally be able to catch up with the other direct disciples of the main peaks.

As for Lu Qing, although he was considered a genius, he was only average compared to the other direct disciples. Shao Yu did not think that Lu Qing would be able to surprise him.

Since the two direct disciples were the kind that could not be helped, Shao Yu's mood was very bad.

The ninth floor was a huge platform. There was a scorching sun and snowstorm on the platform. The energy of ice and fire filled the air. If one accidentally breathed it into his lungs, his lungs would be damaged.

Xu Lingping, who had a small sword on her waist, walked in front silently. Behind her was Xuan Chi, followed by Mu Chenxue, and lastly, Gatha.

Mu Chenxue turned her head and looked at Gatha. Her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. She naturally knew Gatha. She was the girl who had entered the inner courtyard with Zhuowen.

This girl was the younger sister of the impulsive and reckless Jia Nan. Mu Chenxue did not pay much attention to this girl at that time. However, she had to be cautious now.

At this moment, Gatha's cultivation was around the fourth level of the Emperor Realm. However, she was able to rely on her own strength to reach the ninth floor. This result had already surpassed most of the disciples in the inner courtyard.

When she was about ten meters away from Mu Chenxue, Gatha stopped. Her face was slightly pale. She sat down cross-legged and did not plan to go any further.

Perhaps because she noticed Mu Chenxue looking at her, Gatha raised her head and smiled brightly at Mu Chenxue. She said, "Sister-in-law, you have to do your best!"

Mu Chenxue was stunned. Soon after, a warm smile appeared on her face. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Gatha. If you work harder, you might be able to reach the tenth floor."

Gatha shook her head and said, "The ninth floor is my limit. It is unlikely that I will be able to reach the tenth floor. Sister-in-law, you should be able to do it."

"You overestimate yourself. How can a mere seventh level of the Emperor Realm reach the tenth floor?"

Suddenly, a sinister voice rang out, causing Mu Chen Xue to frown as she stared at the ruler in front of her.

Noticing Mu Chenxue's gaze, Xuan Chi licked his lips and laughed. "I heard that you are that bastard Zhuowen's lover. What a waste. A beautiful flower stuck in cow dung."

"Shut your dog mouth," said Mu Chenxue coldly.

Xuan Chi's face darkened. He said coldly, "What did you just say?

Do you dare say it again? "

"I said shut your dog mouth. You are not qualified to comment on Zhuowen," said Mu Chenxue coldly.

The veins on Xuan Chi's forehead bulged. He said, "I am not qualified to comment on Zhuowen?

Do you really think that he can be compared to me just because he killed an eighth level Emperor Realm piece of trash?

If I was in front of him, I would be able to kill him with a single finger. "

"You can kill an eighth level Emperor Realm expert as a third level Emperor Realm expert?" said Mu Chenxue suddenly.

Xuan Chi was stunned. It was difficult for a third level Emperor Realm expert to kill an eighth level Emperor Realm expert. Now that he was a ninth level Emperor Realm expert, killing an eighth level Emperor Realm expert was like killing a dog.

However, if he was in the third level Emperor Realm, he wouldn't be able to kill an eighth level Emperor Realm expert no matter what.

"That's because Zhuowen is lucky. He has an extremely powerful armor soul in his body. Without that armor soul, he's nothing," retorted Xuan Chi coldly.

"So the dignified first personal disciple of the Profound Underworld Peak, Xuan Chi, can also deny it. I have seen it today," said Mu Chenxue mockingly.

"You're courting death. Don't think that I won't dare to touch you just because you're a personal disciple of the Profound Underworld Peak."

Xuan Chi took a step forward. A terrifying aura flowed out. He continued, "Today, I will teach you a lesson in the Ice and Fire Dual Polarity Palace. When we get out, I will personally teach that trash, Zhuowen, a lesson."

As he spoke, Xuan Chi leaped into the air, and with a powerful Thousand Pound Fall, he flew towards Mu Chen Xue. Chilling aura surged from Xuan Chi's hand as it transformed into an icy longsword.
