Two thousand miles, three thousand miles!
Finally, Lu Li reached the bottom. He found the source of the cold air. It was a cold pond with white liquid in it. The pond was not large. There was nothing else at the bottom of the cave apart from the pond.
"Well … there are some elixirs!"
Lu Li saw some elixirs growing near the pond. The elixirs that could grow in a place like this must be the best, even in the Immortal Region.
But Lu Li was not happy at all. Instead, he was disappointed.
He had risked so much to come here to find an exit. No matter how good the elixirs were, what would be the point if he was trapped here until he died?
He looked around. He could not use psychic power in the pond and there was nothing around. The walls of the cave were made of rocks that had been frozen for so many years. Lu Li couldn't crack them even if he attacked with all his strength.
He didn't find an exit. Apart from the elixirs, there was only the pond. There were no powerful beasts here, either.
Lu Li walked over and put away the elixirs. Then, he sat by the pond with his legs crossed and began to use the Mark of Great Path.
Soon, he had an idea. He found a cave at the bottom of the pond which seemed to be a connecting tunnel.
"Is this a connecting tunnel?
If so, where does it lead to?
Is the Frigid Pond here because of this passageway? "
Many thoughts popped up in Lu Li's mind. He found a tunnel but he didn't dare to act rashly. He could absorb the cold air but who knew if something would go wrong when he entered the pond?
What if he was frozen directly?
Then he would have to stay here for the rest of his life.
Lu Li kept on trying. After the time for one incense stick to burn, he was still not sure.
The pond was only two miles deep and with a radius of thousands of feet. Lu Li could not use psychic power. But he could see everything clearly after he used the Mark of Great Path.
There was an opening at the bottom of the Frigid Pond. The Frigid Pond and even the Ice River Valley were formed because of this opening. Lu Li could feel the cold air coming out from the opening.
He had thought that the pond was the source of the cold air. It seemed that it was not so. The tunnel was the real source.
Should he go in or not?
This was a problem. If they entered, they might have a chance to find a way out. However, there was a higher chance that they would die inside. They might even die inside the cold pond.
Lu Li was deep in thought. After the time for one incense stick to burn, he stood up, making up his mind. He decided to take a gamble. More importantly, he had faith in the Realm of Magic.
Since the Cold Qi could be absorbed, the Frigid Pond was also formed by the Cold Qi. Regardless of whether it was liquid, gas, or even solid, it was essentially energy. The Dharma Realm could absorb the Cold Qi, so the Frigid Pond shouldn't be able to do anything to it.
The Traceless Blade appeared in his hand and he activated his Origin Energy. Then, he reached out with his other hand and slowly reached into the lake.
He was prepared to chop off the arm if it resisted the cold Qi. If the arm was cut off, it could be regrown, but if the whole body was frozen, it would be over.
His arm slowly approached and finally entered the cold pond. A terrifying cold current immediately surged into his arm. However, the Dharma Realm was operating furiously at that moment and the cold was instantly absorbed into the Dharma Realm. It did not stay in his arm at all. Thus, although his arm was bone-piercingly cold, it was not frozen, nor did it receive too much damage.
"Not bad!"
Lu Li's confidence was boosted. He stepped into the Frigid Pond and his entire abdomen was submerged.
A large amount of cold entered Lu Li's body and was absorbed quickly. Lu Li stopped moving. It was difficult for him to move even if he wanted to. His legs were covered by the cold and numb.
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li didn't want to move either. He absorbed all the cold and would enter the tunnel after the Frigid Pond disappeared.
The cold was good stuff. After he absorbed it and refined it, the power would be horrifying. Warriors that were infinitely close to a perfect warrior would be frozen to death by the cold.
"Wait —"
Lu Li suddenly thought of something. Not even the master of the Rhinoceros Ape Race dared to come in.
Did it mean that not even the master of the Rhinoceros Ape Race could stand the cold in the depth of the cave?
In other words, if Lu Li used the cold to sneak up, could he freeze a perfect warrior?
Did that mean he had the power to kill a perfect warrior?
"Eh … I am overthinking it!"
Soon, Lu Li shook his head with a bitter smile. He was indulging in wild fantasies. How could he kill a perfect warrior?
Only an idiot would stand there and let Lu Li freeze him with the cold.
Perfect warriors could control forces in heaven and earth and could suppress Lu Li with a thought. Lu Li wanted to sneak up on a perfect warrior?
Lu Li had just decided to kill and he would be stopped by a perfect warrior.
The cold was useful and Lu Li would not miss it. He was not in a hurry anyway.
He had used a lot of flames and Divine Liquid of Destruction and he was worried about not having more powerful means. Now that he had a new one, he would not miss it. He planned to absorb all the cold.
The Frigid Pond was not large but there was a lot of cold energy. The pond was formed by the liquefaction of cold air. One drop of cold liquid could produce thousands of strands of cold air.
In Lu Li's Dharma Realm, there was only a mass of cold air. Now, it had turned into a cloud. When all the cold air was absorbed, the cloud would become a sea of clouds.
The Frigid Pond was not large but it contained a lot of energy. Even though the Dharma Realm was working hard to absorb the energy, it still took Lu Li 17 days to absorb all the water.
The Frigid Pond was gone. Lu Li stood at the entrance at the bottom.
The entrance was like a tunnel from hell to the human world. Cold air kept coming out from below. Lu Li flew down slowly.
This passageway extended downwards in a straight line. It had a circumference of about three meters, and the walls were covered in ice. It was obvious that they were hard and indestructible.
Five thousand miles?
Three hundred thousand miles?
Five hundred thousand miles?
Lu Li did not know how long he had been flying down. Finally, he saw a glare. His surroundings lit up. Finally, he had reached the end of the tunnel.
He did not move around after he went down. Instead, he made sure that the Dharma Realm was absorbing the cold air. If he stopped, he might be frozen to death.
After making sure that everything was fine, Lu Li looked around. He took a casual look and was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
The place where he appeared was a ruin. This ruin was at the peak of a huge mountain, and this mountain was surrounded by a bottomless abyss.
There was nothing on the mountain except for the ruins of a palace. Half of the palace had collapsed but the other half was not destroyed.
Lu Li was astonished to see that the palace was not destroyed. It was magnificent and magnificent. The palace was tens of thousands of feet high. Standing in the ruins in front of the palace, Lu Li felt like he was an ant standing in front of a cabin.
Ancient, vicissitudes, everlasting, vast …
Lu Li sensed many mysterious qi and energy in the ruined palace. He felt he was a child among mortals walking to a hall where gods lived. The feeling of insignificance and powerlessness was particularly strong.
"Where is this?"
Lu Li couldn't help but murmur. He had been to a few of the eight star regions, and he had also been to the Immortal Region. However, this was the first time he had seen such a majestic and domineering palace. Even the palace where the Eastern Region King resided wasn't as majestic as this.
