Cold Resistance

"What to do?"

Long Xuan was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth inside the cave, and became flustered and disorganized.

"You go! Share the pressure from the flames with him!"

Finally, Long Xuan came up with an idea: to have all his clones share the power of the Divine Ice Flame.

Refining flames is something outsiders definitely can't help with, but Long Xuan is special. Wood Clone isn't here, and although there seem to be five people in the cave, they all share the same origin and are exactly the same. From a certain perspective, they are one person.

If two bodies are identical, the Divine Ice Flame might mistake them for the same person, thus splitting the Divine Ice Flame's power into five and greatly weakening its chilling aura.

Of course, at this moment, Long Xuan only sent his clone up; he was too cunning to personally risk his life.

His guess was correct. After the four clones sat in a circle holding hands, they were indeed identified as one person by the Divine Ice Flame. Their power was also divided into four parts and distributed among the four people, greatly reducing the pressure on the Flame Clone.

However, the power of the Divine Ice Flame was too terrifying. Even with its power divided into four, it was still beyond the capacity of the four clones to withstand.

Soon, the surfaces of the other three clones began to freeze rapidly, and they were about to turn into ice blocks, their life force rapidly fading away.

The worst part is that Long Xuan still hasn't seen any progress in the fire refining process. This means that although his method is correct, the power of the Divine Ice Flame is simply too terrifying, and the combined strength of the four of them is still insufficient. No progress means that failure is inevitable.

Long Xuan became anxious again, his heart burning with worry.

Although the death of his clones doesn't affect him, and they can be reformed after death, he has countless opportunities to try.

However, the death of his clone requires him to start cultivating from scratch, which takes a very long time, and he will most likely fail again next time. He doesn't have that much time to waste.

If this refining attempt fails, the Millennium Iceberg Snow Lotus will not survive, and the evolution of the Spirit Bee will be impossible in the short term, which will put him at a significant disadvantage.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, made a determined move, and actually stepped forward personally, took hands with his clones, and sat down with them to share the pressure of the Divine Ice Flame.

He used to delegate everything to his clones, so getting him to personally take charge is really difficult.

As expected, his main body was also considered to be the same person as Flame Clone, so a portion of the cold energy in all the clones was transferred and distributed to Long Xuan.

Instantly, Long Xuan felt an extremely cold chill enter his body, penetrating his very bones and almost causing him to faint on the spot.

It was so painful, it was like being worse than dead.

Even though the power of the Divine Ice Flame was split into five, he could still feel such terrible pain. Just how much pain must his Flame Clone have endured when it alone bore the full power of the Frostfire Divine Flame?

Fortunately, its mouth was frozen shut; otherwise, echoing screams would surely have resounded through the cave.

At this moment, Long Xuan truly felt the terrifying power of the Divine Ice Flame. The Divine Ice Flame looked cold, and he could feel its chilling aura.

But once it burns within you, you feel heat, and extreme heat at that. But the heat doesn't dissipate; instead, it dissipates as an extreme chill. This is why, even though his body is burning hot inside, his skin is frozen solid.

Such bizarre flames were simply unbelievable. Could he really have created such a terrifying thing? He couldn't believe it.

The alternating hot and cold temperatures were like experiencing both ice and fire, driving him to the brink of madness.

He was used to a life of luxury; when had he ever endured such suffering?

At this moment, he finally understood how difficult it was to create a clone.

Looking towards the center of the group of five, Long Xuan was stunned. There was still no progress. Even with five people sharing the pressure, it wasn't enough. Just how terrifying was this Divine Ice Flame? Long Xuan was greatly shocked.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if he had been too hasty and had reversed the order. He should have refined the Undying Water Bear Gu first, and then refined the Divine Ice Flame.

With the power of immortality, the clone should be able to refine the Divine Ice Flame, and I won't have to suffer this torment anymore.

But since things have come to this, he has no choice but to go down this dark path.

Long Xuan's clever mind worked again, and he quickly came up with another plan, ordering all his clones to activate their own Cultivation Method.

Each clone cultivates a different attribute. Although Wood Clone didn't come, Long Xuan, the main body, could fill the gap. The five of them simultaneously circulated their Cultivation Method, allowing spiritual energy to flow among them and form Five-Element Mutual Generation Cycle the five elements to counteract the power of the Divine Ice Flame.

He didn't know if this method would work, but he had no choice but to try it as a last resort.

If that still doesn't work, then he'll have to give up. He'll save as many as possible; he can't afford to sacrifice his own body.

After following the instructions, all the clones immediately activated their internal Cultivation Method, and the effects were immediate.

Wood can fuel fire, creating a strong flame. But what if the wood is made from water, creating a strong wood? Wouldn't that then generate an even stronger fire?

Following this pattern, starting with Earth and ending with Fire, the cycle repeats, and Fire is strengthened four times.

While the conservation of energy may seem to keep the total amount of energy unchanged, its power has undergone a dramatic transformation.

This level of intense fire is barely enough to contend with the power of ice split into five.

Under the power of the Five-Element Cycle, the ice layer on the five people began to melt slowly. At the same time, a progress of [1%] began to appear in the center of the five people. The scales of victory were already tilting in their favor, and Long Xuan had already seen the dawn of victory.

He was overjoyed, knowing that he had finally succeeded, and at the same time, he increased the speed at which the spiritual energy in his body circulated.

He slowly closed his eyes and waited patiently. As the ice on his body gradually dissipated, he was no longer in pain, and he could bear the remaining pain.

As time passed, and after an unknown amount of time, when Long Xuan opened his eyes again, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and a fleeting, icy blue flame phantom appeared in his pupils.

He let out a long sigh, his eyes revealing undisguised excitement.

With his right hand outstretched, a flame of icy blue rose up, releasing a dazzling blue light and a chilling, bone-deep aura.

But at this point, he could no longer feel any chill.

This means he has completely subdued the Divine Ice Flame. The Divine Ice Flame has recognized him as its master and will naturally not harm its master.

"What an incredibly beautiful flame! I wonder how it compares to the legendary Heavenly Flame."

Long Xuan stared at the flame with ecstatic joy, and only after a long while did he reluctantly put away the Divine Ice Flame.

The blue light disappeared, and the cave became dark again.

"Let's go! I'll take you home!" Long Xuan said excitedly to his four clones.

Having completed all three tasks, he had no intention of staying in this godforsaken place any longer. He was eager to go home.
