On another continent, thousands of miles away from the extreme north of the Desolate Moon Continent, there is a vast ice field of ice and snow.

There are tens of millions of snow-capped mountains towering over the sky and the earth, standing among them at different heights. It is said that all life inside is extinct, and even monks can enter without being able to get out.

The ground there is covered with thousands of glacial ditches, and the sky is like huge abyss. Snowflakes the size of fists are all over the sky, and they never stop falling from the sky.

The whole sky and earth are always dark and gloomy, and from time to time there are thick and bright red arcs flashing in the sky, mixed with the snowflakes falling in the sky.

They seemed to be blooming everywhere, flickering and jumping into bouncing red elves in the thick white snow and crystal ice on the ground.

Li Yan stands in front of two towering mountain peaks. This is outside a canyon formed by the peaks. Standing here, you can use Divine Sense to scan the scene inside.

Li Yan could see the huge snow and thunder and lightning whizzing by in the strong wind, and even if his energy penetrated thousands of miles, he could not see the end at all.

Li Yan comes all the way from the Desolate Moon Continent. He does not always walk in the turbulent space, and he cannot fly at high speeds there.

Always be careful of black holes, space debris and other dangerous places in turbulent space.

Along the way, he also met many experienced Nascent Soul and even Spirit Transformation level monks, as well as various meteor beasts.

He killed a lot of unattractive things, but overall, it was relatively smooth. Of course, this smoothness was only for the current Li Yan.

For many Nascent Soul Cultivator and even Spirit Transformation monks in the lower realm, once they enter this ice field, it will undoubtedly be the end of a narrow escape.

This is also one of the reasons why it took so many years to reach North Ice Continent while Pei Buchong was going all the way.

But this is different from Dong Fuyi and Li Yan. Dong Fuyi was led into a trap, lost its way, and was trapped for a long time, almost unable to get out.

Li Yan, on the other hand, has been heading towards the ice field, but he has not yet reached the true core area of the North Ice Continent.

If you want to go to the real core of the North Ice Continent, you either have to go straight through this ice field, or you have to work hard and spend a very long time to go around this ice field.

But there is another way, which is to tear the void and cross this ice field. For example, this method was used when Dong Fuyi and True Lord Qianzhong left later.

However, this method of passage is not something ordinary Nascent Soul or above monks can pass through the corresponding turbulent space.

This ice field caused chaos in the laws of heaven and earth. It could only enter the turbulent space in advance, and it was impossible to break through the laws of heaven and earth in it.

Back then, Pei Buchong was searching for True Lord Qianzhong while walking. He would often stay in one place for a long time, looking for various clues. His delay was also very long...

On the way Li Yan this time, Li Yan also had a quiet time to practice, which allowed his strength in all aspects to be polished and potentially improved again.

Since his Body Refining Technique reached Middle Void Refinement Realm, Li Yan has refined "Gui Water True Scripture" again. He wants to make his mana more pure.

In this way, after the level of magic cultivation reaches Middle Void Refinement Realm, the magic power can be polished to an astonishing degree of purity, and the stronger power of the magic can be exerted.

Especially since he is still at the Mortal Realm, it is impossible to improve to any level. The power of the spell is very important.

In addition, whenever he has free time, he will continue to study "Sacred Soul Transformation", and even occasionally, he will try to use the Void Refinement Realm technique introduced by the three ancestors.

Although it is impossible for Soul Cultivator to improve his realm, he can at least use the exercises, from which Li Yan can feel the various feedbacks of those powers in his soul.

So when Li Yan tried it, he discovered some problems. The "Sacred Soul Transformation" technique that Void Refinement Realm deduced will make the soul feel turbulent during practice.

Li Yan immediately knew that there was a problem with this set of exercises. Soul turmoil was caused by improper use of soul power by the exercises.

He then began to study the secrets of those magic formulas word by word, and then slowly started to operate the soul power detection bit by bit.

As long as I find something wrong, I will stop there, keep trying and thinking, trying to find the right direction...

During these years, Li Yan also began to seriously practice Gui Water Immortal Sect's techniques. Gui Water Eye and Gui-Extreme Flame all require a lot of time to practice.

And during a lonely flight, he can also practice and refine these techniques...

It wasn't until he arrived here that he put away the "Cloud Piercing Blade" and carefully looked at everything in front of him.

"The Jade Slip map given by 'Blood-Eyed Toad' indicates that you can enter from the mouth of the canyon. Although it does not need to be deep, you still need to travel a thousand to three thousand miles.

But the other party doesn't know the exact location of 'Polar Ice Heart', but they just don't know where Demon Beast determined this range..."

Li Yan stood at the mouth of the canyon without moving for a long time. He had been observing here for more than half an hour. While observing the situation inside, he was also thinking about what Dong Fuyi had told him.

After Dong Fuyi met Li Yan, he told in detail that he was trapped in a dangerous place when he went to the North Ice Continent. This was a kind of experience teaching.

There was a trap set by the Yin-Yang Chaos Sect, deliberately leaving some clues. Once he entered, he quickly lost his direction.

There seems to be no problem using Divine Sense there, but in fact those weird red arcs will enter the sea of consciousness along Divine Sense as soon as Divine Sense touches it.

This kind of thing has no effect on the sea of consciousness, but once it enters, even with Dong Fuyi's ability, it cannot be forced out directly, it can only be refined.

However, the refining process is not very complicated, so once the monk confirms that this kind of thing does not harm the sea of consciousness, he does not think there will be any big problems.

Even if they are walking outside, they don't release Divine Sense all the time. No matter how powerful the monk is, Divine Sense cannot withstand such torture.

So some of the red arcs you inhale can be refined later, but this is actually just the feeling you get outside the ice sheet.

When you enter the ice field inside, your whole body becomes like a magnet due to these red arcs in the sea of consciousness.

As long as you rush into the wind and snow, you will be like a beacon in the dark night, attracting red arc attacks from all directions, and they will attack you endlessly.

There are so many red arcs that even a monk's sharp eyes cannot distinguish and deal with them one by one, so Divine Sense must be used.

But as long as the monk uses Divine Sense to scan and deal with the red arc, more and more red arcs will appear in his consciousness. This is a dead end.

At that time, all the surrounding mountain peaks would start to tremble violently due to the violence generated by these red arcs, causing avalanches that would destroy the world.

At the same time, after the red arc entered the sea of consciousness, when Divine Sense was used to explore the surrounding environment, the thick snowflakes falling in the air turned out to be like pieces of white cloth, which Divine Sense could no longer penetrate.

In this way, the direction you chose before will not only lose the target position due to the avalanche, but it will also be covered with pieces of white cloth flying all over the sky in all directions.

At that time, you have no idea where you have been and where you are going next moment?

Only after you have refined the red arc in your consciousness, will Divine Sense be able to penetrate snowflakes and determine some directions for a short period of time during the next exploration.

The dangers here are not limited to these, the coldness here is so strong that it is beyond imagination.

The monks below Nascent Soul will die if they enter. The cold air can instantly freeze Golden Core Realm and cause great damage to the monks' Nascent Soul.

Dong Fuyi said that after the Spirit Transformation Realm monk entered, if there was no treasure for defense, Nascent Soul in the body would basically not survive the time of a stick of incense if he only relied on his magic power to resist.

Moreover, this process was silent, and the monk didn't feel much at first. At most, he just felt cold air entering his body.

Usually, you can only use your skills to resist, which will consume more mana. Later, when you find that Nascent Soul's mind has begun to lose consciousness, it is too late at that time, and it is too late to use your skills to resist.

That kind of cold air has actually "frostbitten" Nascent Soul's body, just like mortal flesh and blood being frostbitten, and the blood flow there has been blocked.

Once Nascent Soul was frostbitten, the movement of mana in his body was also blocked. Soon Nascent Soul was frozen from the inside out into a hard block of ice, losing all his vitality...

To deal with all this, the method given by Dong Fuyi is to take advantage of Divine Sense when it can penetrate the wind and snow, and immediately collect Divine Sense and move forward at the fastest speed.

During this journey, do not use any Divine Sense, and then do not hesitate to choose an ice cave or a ravine beneath the glacier to fall into.

Be sure to try to avoid areas where red arcs appear. After choosing a place, you must immediately refine the red arc immersed in the sea of consciousness.

At the same time, by constantly transporting Greater Celestial Circuit, the Nascent Soul in the body can be forced out of all the cold air immersed in it, so that life can be saved.

All of this takes a lot of time and makes it extremely difficult for a monk to move forward inside.

And this area was too big. Even after Dong Fuyi walked out, he still didn't know the scope of this area. How big was it?

Because he couldn't release Divine Sense to investigate carefully, every time he used Divine Sense, it was like a poisonous snake spitting out its core, and with one quick hit, it was quickly withdrawn.

Especially after you have often lost your way, the next time you want to find the right direction, it will often be a long time later. In the meantime, spending several years to find the right direction is considered lucky.

The Jade Slip given by "Blood-Eyed Toad" not only specifies the entrance here, but also explains many dangerous situations inside.

In addition to the red arc and cold air, there are actually some living creatures in this seemingly extinct place. Dong Fuyi also talked about this.

According to the description of Jade Slip, the Demon Beast here is really very rare. It is more of a kind of ice and snow spirit creature bred by heaven and earth.

After Li Yan saw it, he thought of the snow spirit he encountered in the long cave of ice and snow after entering "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower". There was something similar here.

It is extremely difficult for ice, snow, and lightning to give birth to spiritual intelligence, and they all have different looks.

Some of them look similar to some Demon Beast. For example, there is a spirit that can jump on the ice sheet like a jade rabbit.

But if you really think how cute it is, you are totally wrong, and it can kill you in the next moment.

Some can turn into wind and snow giants, easily Heaven-Shaking and Earth-Shaking, summon wind and snow, and summon blizzards to hit the world in an instant.

Some are like snakes in the snow, while others are just a pile of snow covering a rock behind a quiet bulge, and these can attack suddenly.

This is completely different from the many legends about this place from the outside world. Only those who have experienced it know the horror inside.

But those who can get out after entering are definitely very rare. Dong Fuyi was in there back then, but it often gave him headaches.

This place is like a place full of contradictions. If the monk releases Divine Sense to explore, he will be immersed in the red arc, causing chaos in the sea of consciousness and attracting more attacks from the surrounding red arcs.

If Divine Sense is not used, then while walking, a snowball may suddenly fly up from under the feet, an ice crystal may launch a fatal blow, or the ground may suddenly collapse...

This made it difficult for Dong Fuyi to enter at that time. In the final analysis, it was still a problem affected by the rules of heaven and earth.

If he could bring out his Body Integration Realm cultivation level, he wouldn't be much of a threat here at all, but the attacks here are weird, even if they wouldn't be fatal to Dong Fuyi in one blow.

But those attacks would soon add up to many, exposing him to all kinds of weird and inexplicable dangers...

Li Yan After just exploring for a while, he closed his eyes and sat down at the mouth of the canyon. Behind him, one of his avatars suddenly appeared and stood quietly behind him.

Li Yan Sure enough, after the exploration, some red arcs appeared in his sea of consciousness without him noticing.

This caused his sea of consciousness to begin to turbulence behind him.

And at this time, after he used Divine Sense to observe the situation in the canyon, there was no problem with the nearby scenery, but only ten miles away was a vast expanse of white.

That's because at this moment, his Divine Sense can no longer penetrate the snowflakes in the sky, and has been affected unknowingly.

It's just that Li Yan hasn't entered this area yet, so while his body is still outside, he didn't attract the red arc inside to attack.

More than two hours later, Li Yan, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, Huo Di opened his eyes, and there was a flash of light in his eyes, filling his pupils with clarity.

"I finally refined it. The red arc that entered my consciousness this time actually only occupies one-tenth of the conscious space.

And it will take so much time to refine and clear it. Once you can't use Divine Sense, you will soon lose your way inside.

In this way, it doesn't take much time in a day, and you can just walk inside and catch up.

The range of three thousand miles is really a problem. The most likely thing to happen here is that after entering, like the master did back then, he got lost inside.

I don't know where I'm going from now on? Until one day, maybe we can luckily find the right direction and get out of this dangerous place..."

Li Yan was thinking in his heart. He was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, feeling the endless cold wind blowing from the direction of the canyon. The clothes on Li Yan were constantly being blown away.

Although he came here to definitely look for "Polar Ice Heart", Li Yan would not rush into it. Instead, after investigating on the spot, he began to think about how to enter?

He is a little different from Dong Fuyi here. Back then, Dong Fuyi entered from one end because he fell into a trap and followed some clues.

But Li Yan is different. He just wants to enter a certain range and then return all the way along the way, so there are still some conditions that can be exploited.

For example, he left some signs along the way, but he couldn't guarantee whether these signs would soon be covered by the wind, snow or other things.

After all, everything here is not ordinary, just like the ordinary ice and snow in the outside world. Even if it is as thick as a mountain, it is still very clear to the Li Yan sensor.

But Li Yan was not sure about everything in the canyon ahead. If the sign he set disappeared immediately, Li Yan could continue to try other methods.

But what I'm most afraid of is that the signs I left behind at that time were there from the beginning, and they didn't suddenly disappear until some time after Li Yan passed by.

Then by the time he discovers it, it will be too late. As long as he cannot find this exit, he may go further and further inside.

In the end, the good outcome will be like Master Dong Fuyi, who finally came out after being trapped for many years. The bad outcome will be that he will be trapped here for the rest of his life and eventually die there.

As for using the incarnation, that's even worse. This is a kind of magic, and it is mainly composed of Divine Sense and mana. After those red arcs are sensed, they don't pounce like a cat smelling a fishy smell.
