The existence of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring is measured by the size of the cold pool it condenses: ten zhang for one thousand years, twenty zhang for two thousand years, and so on.
The icy pool that appears before Xiao Yan now is at least fifty zhang in size, which suggests that it has existed for at least five thousand years.
Five thousand years have passed, and countless eras have changed. The existence of this Ice Spirit Cold Spring is ancient enough.
And it is precisely for this reason that the value of this Ice Spirit Cold Spring is self-evident.
As for the current state of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, it is a state of overflowing energy, which means that the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid inside the Cold Pool has accumulated to an extremely large amount, and the energy within it is incredibly powerful.
Normally, this situation of overflowing energy should not occur, because as the Ice Spirit Cold Spring itself ages, that energy should have long since diffused out on its own, causing the area of the cold pool to gradually increase and to circulate autonomously, so that the energy inside the Ice Spirit Cold Spring is always in a balanced state. Logically speaking, this situation should not occur. However, it was because of some people that this situation occurred in the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.
This person, needless to say, is naturally Leng Bingshuang.
The heart of Xilin should not be surrounded by towering snow-capped mountains; the so-called East Wall is the masterpiece of Leng Bingshuang.
On the one hand, it was to prevent the energy in the Ice Spirit Cold Spring from spreading throughout the entire Xilin Mountain Range; on the other hand, it was also to hide the existence of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring so as not to be discovered by some powerful forces.
Judging from the fact that the heartland of Xilin has not been invaded by outsiders, Leng Bing Shuang has obviously achieved her goal of hiding the Ice Spirit Cold Spring Leng Bingshuang. However, while achieving this, Leng Bingshuang has also left behind an extremely serious future problem.
The formation of those snow-capped peaks prevented the energy within the Ice Spirit Cold Spring from dissipating outwards. It was like a basketball that was already fully inflated; it had clearly reached its limit. Continuously inflating it would only increase the internal pressure, and when the basketball finally exploded, even the thickest sheet metal would be unable to stop it!
Leng Bingshuang's approach is like continuously inflating a basketball that's already full of air. Now, the basketball, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, is at the critical point of exploding. Once the Ice Spirit Cold Spring is completely destroyed, not only will the Xilin Mountain Range suffer, but Leng Bingshuang herself will likely also suffer considerable damage.
However, Leng Bingshuang's actions had already created no room for reversal. The construction of those snow-capped peaks made the energy within the Ice Spirit Cold Spring increasingly abundant. The direct result was that the energy accumulating within the cold pool was uncontrollably erupting outwards. In the past, Leng Bingshuang could forcibly suppress it, but with the passage of time, the energy condensed within the Ice Spirit Cold Spring had reached an extremely terrifying level. Not to mention that Leng Bingshuang was not in her current state, even in her prime, she might not be able to suppress the energy within the cold pool.
The surging cold mist is just the beginning. When the energy within the cold pool fully erupts, that will be truly terrifying. The reason why Leng Bingshuang scolded Xiao Yan to get out of the way earlier was probably because she knew what was going to happen next.
"Get out of here! Don't think you can solve this just because you've temporarily blocked the cold mist. You're only doing this by borrowing the power of the Heavenly Flames. If you don't want to die, get out of here right now!"
With her teeth clenched and her pretty face contorted with anger, Leng Bingshuang glared at Xiao Yan Xiao Yan and shouted at him again, hoping he would leave. After all, even she was losing confidence in being able to withstand the repeated outbursts of the Leng Bingshuang pool.
"Puff!"
However, the instant Leng Bingshuang finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared in the energy shield behind her, and a burst of cold air shot out, instantly spreading outwards. Leng Bing Leng Bingshuang, who was closest to the crack, was the first to be hit. Her long dress, which was close to her body, was quickly covered by ice. In the blink of an eye, her Leng Bingshuang was completely frozen, and she was as if she were sealed under the ice, unable to move.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. He was about to make a move, but the cracks in the energy shield behind him were getting bigger and bigger. Seeing that the energy shield was about to shatter, Xiao Yan had no time to pay attention to Leng Bingshuang in front of him. He quickly moved, waved his sleeve, and a powerful Heavenly Flames burst out, rushing forward like a tidal wave, once again blocking the cold mist.
At the same time, Leng Bingshuang was also struggling, constantly squeezing out the last bit of power from the cells in her body. Until a certain moment, after exhausting all her strength, Leng Bingshuang forcibly condensed a ball of Origin Qi the size of a thumb in the vortex.
This amount of Origin Qi would be useless in a real battle, but for Leng Bingshuang at this moment, it was enough to shatter the ice layer on her body.
With a thought, the ball of Origin Qi, no bigger than a thumb, rapidly surged outwards along the meridians in his body. At the same time, Xiao Yan also retreated rapidly with a solemn expression.
Under Gu You's perception, a massive force was rapidly surging outward from the depths of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. The energy shield was about to collapse, and even Xiao Yan had no choice but to temporarily avoid its power.
Just as Xiao Yan flashed away, the layer of ice on Leng Bingshuang's body shattered, along with the long dress that was wrapped in ice. The ice broke into a pile of fragments, which fell down with a clear cracking sound. Instantly, Leng Bingshuang's snow-white body was completely exposed to the air.
At the same time, Xiao Yan arrived in front of Leng Bingshuang, intending to take her away. However, the sudden scene before him made Xiao Yan, who had just arrived, freeze in shock.
Upon seeing the curvaceous and beautiful body before him, Xiao Yan's Elder Zhang quickly turned hot. Leng Bingshuang also snapped back to her senses the instant her ice shattered, but it was too late. Her body was now completely empty due to the depletion of her Origin Qi, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Bang!"
But in the next moment, a loud bang like muffled thunder was heard, and the energy shield covering the entire cold pool shattered instantly. The cold mist quickly spread out, and a towering water column also gushed out from the depths of the cold pool, sprinkling countless extremely cold water droplets that shot out rapidly within the ice palace.
The sudden appearance of this scene brought Xiao Yan back to his senses instantly. He gritted his teeth in anger, disregarding everything else, and hurriedly stepped forward. He stretched out his hands and pulled the naked Leng Bingshuang into his arms. As Leng Bingshuang let out a cry of surprise, the wide black robe had already wrapped the two of them together. Xiao Yan moved his feet and instantly used the Heavenly Severing Steps to its limit. His figure was almost faster than lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the side of the cold pool.
