"Hiss hiss hiss..."
Amidst the biting cold wind, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, Dou Qi had returned to its peak due to his breakthrough, surged outwards without restraint, enveloping his entire body in dazzling Heavenly Flames, turning him into a fiery figure.
The scorching heat above the nine heavens clashed fiercely with the surrounding frigid winds, neither willing to yield. Under such attrition, Xiao Yan was undoubtedly suffering a one-sided loss.
After all, the cold winds in this world are endless. If one is not careful, it may affect Xiao Yan's current speed. In order to resist these cold winds, Xiao Yan has to frantically expend his internal Dou Qi to keep warm.
The consequence of doing so was that Xiao Yan's aura gradually weakened.
As Xiao Yan approached the central area of Xilin's heartland, he could feel that the cold winds in the world were several times stronger than before. He had been traveling for a day, but his Dou Qi had already been depleted by more than half.
Normally, even if Xiao Yan traveled day and night for a month, he probably wouldn't be able to deplete even one-tenth of his Dou Qi, let alone in a situation like this.
Facing the biting winds that rushed in from all directions like vicious wolves, Xiao Yan's expression grew increasingly solemn.
If this continues, before he even reaches the central area of Xilin's heartland, he will be completely frozen to death by these cold winds due to the exhaustion of his Dou Qi. This would be an immense regret for Xiao Yan!
Left with no other choice, Xiao Yan had to place his last hope on Gu You within his body.
If this old man doesn't show up soon, then Xiao Yan is truly doomed.
" Elder Gu! If you keep pretending to be dead, I'm not going to be able to hold on any longer! Elder Gu! Elder Gu!"
Xiao Yan frowned, calling out to Gu You in his heart. At the same time, the Dou Qi in his body surged outwards even more frantically, and he had already used the Heavenly Severing Steps to its limit. The terrifying speed made Xiao Yan look like an invisible lightning bolt in the void.
Even so, Xiao Yan was still unable to cross the heart of the Xilin Mountain Range before his Dou Qi was completely exhausted.
"Hehe, little guy, didn't you confidently tell people you could walk by yourself before? Why are you so hesitant now?"
Finally, just when Xiao Yan was about to give up, Gu You's slightly mocking chuckle came from within Xiao Yan.
Upon hearing those familiar voices, Xiao Yan's expression froze slightly, but then hope surged within him again. He quickly and excitedly said to Gu You:
" Elder Gu, there's no time for jokes now. If you don't make a move soon, this junior's life might be over!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's almost tearful words, Gu You couldn't help but laugh out loud, then continued teasingly:
"What? Our mighty Flame Emperor, a figure whose power even the Heavenly Flames couldn't defeat, is actually going to perish in this icy wasteland today? Hahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt even more helpless. He scanned the surrounding world and said to Gu You with a solemn expression:
"I wonder what kind of monster exists in this place that can release such terrifying cold air, even my Heavenly Flames can't suppress it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state. Sigh..."
Upon feeling the terrifyingly cold wind from the surrounding sky, Xiao Yan immediately felt a pang of misery.
Since he began cultivating, Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames had been invincible. Even when facing opponents far stronger than Xiao Yan, the Heavenly Flames could still help Xiao Yan. But now, in the face of this chilling energy, Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames suffered its first defeat, and a defeat in which it was utterly powerless to refute.
Of course, if it were the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in its true form that made the move, the outcome would naturally be different. But the problem now is that Gu You within Xiao Yan's body doesn't seem to have any intention of making a move.
"Heh heh, brat, it would be strange if you could easily suppress this cold wind."
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's somewhat gloomy words, the Gu You within him chuckled and playfully scolded Xiao Yan.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowing as he asked Gu You again in a low voice:
" Elder Gu, what do you mean by that?"
"Hmph, kid, haven't you been looking for that thing all along? Heh, to be honest, you're really lucky. I told you before we went into the mountains, and you've already found it so quickly. And now, that thing is practically right in front of you!"
Gu You, his words revealing a hint of astonishment at Xiao Yan's incredible luck, while at the same time, a complex emotion welled up within him.
" Elder Gu, I still hope you can be more direct. With you saying it this way, I really can't recall it for the time being."
Despite Gu You laugh, Xiao Yan's face was full of worry, and he was extremely puzzled by these unclear words.
"Hehe, looks like you really can't remember. Well then, I'll give you one more hint: Ice Spirit Pill!"
"Um?!"
The moment Gu You finished speaking, Xiao Yan's expression froze, and his body, which was flying rapidly forward in the void, came to an abrupt halt. At that moment, even the entire world seemed to pause for a second.
At this moment, a storm was brewing in Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan heart. Endless surprise and astonishment surged within him like waves.
After Gu You's words, Xiao Yan immediately understood what the thing Gu You was referring to was.
In the world, the only thing that can suppress Heavenly Flames is something born of nature and nurtured by the earth. It is mutually reinforcing and restraining with Heavenly Flames and is considered by the world to be the most yin and cold power in the world: Ice Spirit Cold Liquid!
" Ice Spirit Cold Liquid!"
After a long while, Xiao Yan finally spoke slowly, word by word.
Ice Spirit Cold Liquid is the most important ingredient for refining Ice Spirit Cold Liquid Ice Spirit Pill. At the same time, it is also the most crucial thing for Xiao Yan to use to devour the Heavenly Flames.
Xiao Yan originally thought that, given the rarity of this item, he would only have a chance to obtain it by going to some large auction houses. However, to his utter surprise, this treasure of heaven and earth was actually located in the heart of the Xilin Mountain Range!
No wonder, the cold wind in the heart of Xilin was able to suppress Xiao Yan's most prized Heavenly Flames.
According to Gu You, that item is right before Xiao Yan's eyes at this moment. Could it be...?
"Uh... Elder Gu, are you saying that the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid exists within these cold winds?!"
