That was right. Before entering the Extreme Ice Plains, Ling Tian had left a clone behind at the Linglong Sect. If he controlled that clone to swagger around the Outer Realm star domain, it would undoubtedly mislead all the Outer Realm Cultivators into thinking he had already escaped the Extreme Ice Plains. In that case, the Outer Realm Cultivators who had entered the Extreme Ice Plains would surely leave and pursue the clone. Then Ling Tian would have a chance to escape the Extreme Ice Plains.
At the thought of this, Po Qiong and the others were thrilled. They finally understood why Ling Tian had wanted to find a frozen lake and dive into it. They were all confident this plan would work.
"Um, shouldn't you be more concerned right now with whether Ling Tian can dive into the lake?" Ice Cicada Flower asked, puzzled. "As I said before, the lake water is unbearably cold. Even cultivators in the middle or late stages of the Twenty-second Heaven of Near-Saint, or at the peak, might not be able to dive to the bottom. Even with us protecting Ling Tian, he's only at the Twenty-first Heaven of Near-Saint. It'll be difficult for him to reach the lakebed. He might not even make it halfway down, and at that depth, it won't be easy to evade the cultivators searching for him."
"Besides, the cultivators pursuing you aren't fools. They know you can't escape the Extreme Ice Plains in a short time. It'll take at least a decade or more. In other words, Ling Tian, you'll have to wait more than ten years before you can use the clone you left outside," Ice Cicada Flower added. After a brief pause, it continued, "Can you last that long?"
"Don't worry. There's plenty I can't guarantee,
