Chapter 4374: Temporary Compromise
e Buddha's base was destroyed, there’s still something useful about it.” With a flick of his broken arm, the Void Palm channeled a massive amount of Phantasmal Fire into the nearly melted stone Buddha..."What Do you know where the Dharma Mirror Immortal Tree is" Lou Yi Kong and the others were immediately excited. They saw that this shadowy figure was composed of five shadows, so it must be far stronger than other shadows. Lou Yi Kong and the others instantly felt a pang of fear in their hearts, wishing to avoid any direct confrontation with the opponent.
"I know the general direction, but as for the specific location, you'll have to explore it yourselves. So, are you in or not Give me a word." The Shadow said.
"What kind of pills are you refining, and how long does it take" Lu Xia Tian asked.
“The time it takes to refine a pill depends on your own abilities. It could take three or five hundred years, or even three or five thousand, or even tens of thousands of years to refine it.” The Shadow chuckled, “If it weren't for an accident with our clan’s Pill Saint, we wouldn't have to rely on outsiders. Among you intruders this time, your strength as a Pill Saint is the highest, and it's also your only hope for survival.”
"What Three or five hundred years, even longer Could it be that the Fa Mirror Immortal Tree has already been obtained by someone" Lou Yikong said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Instead of worrying about these things, why not worry about whether the elixir can be refined If it can't be refined, this blizzard land will be your burial ground." The Shadow chuckled coldly. Before his words fell, dozens of figures flickered in and out from within the surrounding ice stones and ice walls.
Seeing the scene before them, Lou Yikong and the others' faces changed drastically. Although both sides had fought before, these Ice Shadow Clan individuals weren't particularly strong in single combat. The real difficulty lay in the Ice Shadow Clan's first three attacks. If they survived the crisis, things wouldn't be too bad. However, the Ice Shadow Clan leader in front of them didn't seem to be among those top three, and dozens of Ice Shadow Clan members were hiding all around, attacking and ambushing them. The situation was still extremely dangerous; none of them were likely to escape.
“Since that’s the case, we have no other choice.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head, signaling Lou Yi Kong and the others to remain still. Besides these ice shadow clan members before him, Lu Xia Tian could also sense the presence of other ice shadow clan members nearby. If they all possessed the same strength as those who had just erupted, even if Lu Xia Tian himself broke through, he wouldn't be confident in his chances.
“Very good, a wise man knows the time. As long as you stay here honestly, I promise you'll be safe.” The Shadow chuckled and with a flick of his sleeve, the floating stones in mid-air surged and quickly formed a deep channel. At the end of the channel, ice mist swirled, revealing a giant iceberg within. However, between these icebergs, there was an open cave. Inside, buildings were crystal clear and exquisitely crafted, clearly the dwelling place of these Ice Hidden clan.
Lu Xiaitian and several others followed these Ice Hidden Clan members into the Ice Palace. Behind them, countless ice stones that formed a path immediately split apart again, returning to their previous state.
“Such a clever method of concealing oneself in emptiness. This array is truly profound,” Lu Xia Tian sighed, his respect for the Ice Concealing Clan's depth increased by several degrees. The leader of this group of shadows was named Bing Qian Ren, and their strength was definitely not weak. However, without a direct confrontation, Lu Xia Tian couldn't be sure just how strong they were. What truly surprised Lu Xia Tian was the scale of the Ice Palace where the Ice Concealing Clan resided. It was so large that it could be hidden within this blizzard, using the energy of this place as a cover, blending into nothingness. This was the ultimate expression of the Ice Attribute Law's power.
Even with Lu Xia Tian's current cultivation level, he was greatly surprised by the existence of this ice palace. To conceal such a large palace and even evade his senses, what kind of means was used
"Our Bingyin Clan has stood for centuries, naturally possessing profound depths beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. If Dongfang Dansheng finds our Bingyin Clan agreeable, he is welcome to remain here in the future. Although our clan traditionally does not accept outsiders, an exceptional figure like Dongfang Dansheng would certainly be an exception," Ice Qianren chuckled.
“I have things to do, so I’ll just stay here for now.” Lu Xiaotian shook his head. Even though he was quite interested in this place, he wouldn’t stay here forever.
After entering this ice palace, Lu Xia Tian and Lou Yi Kong, Fu Lian Yue, the four of them separated. Lu Xia Tian's location was a very luxurious courtyard, with snow bamboos glittering like snow in the distance, forming a sacred scene under the fluttering snowflakes.
Though temporarily restricted to the territory of the Ice Hidden Clan, seeing such a snowy scene, Lu Xia Tian felt that even if he stayed here for a period of quiet cultivation, it wouldn't be bad. These years, he had been traveling and adventuring all over the place. Counting from when he was injured after leaving the Dragon Clan Secret Realm and recuperating in the South China Sea for nearly a thousand years, it could be considered relatively peaceful. However, at that time, it could only be considered healing. At this time, before the Ice Hidden Clan sent over the formulas and various immortal materials, Lu Xia Tian seemed to have nothing else to do besides cultivating on his own.
Lu Xia Tian directly sat down in front of the bamboo forest, letting the snowflakes swirl. In his mind, he reviewed his experiences searching for the Fa Jing Xian Shu along the way. The Five Thunder Arrows hovered around Lu Xia Tian, four on each side. After fusing the laws of thunder and fire, when the thunder magic was running, the lightning was like a dragon or snake, darting about. The scenes in Yuan Shen Shui Huan – the vine-armored demon apes fighting, the python group battling, the Bing Yin clan hiding under the ice surface, merging with shadows to try and ambush...
These images flashed through Lu Xiaitian's mind, and without other support, he felt the danger more acutely. He longed to transform these feelings into tangible cultivation, but there was still a lot to be done.

Though Lou Yikong and Fu Lianyue were somewhat dissatisfied with the Bingyin Clan's arrangements, they had to bow their heads under the eaves. Being able to keep their lives was already a blessing, so where could they dare to ask for more Even though they didn't know what kind of pill Lu Xiaoteng was specifically being asked to refine for the Bingyin Clan, it was clear that the clan needed him. The question remained whether the Bingyin Clan would keep their promise to release them after Lu Xiaoteng finished refining the pills.
At present, we are constrained by external factors, and there is a great deal of uncertainty surrounding everything.
“It seems like it’s going to be even harder for us to escape this time. Even if Dongfang Dansheng successfully refines the elixir, we may not be able to get out.” Wen Tingfeng sighed.
"If it weren't for the need of the Bingyin Clan to use the Eastern Dan Saint's place, I guess none of us would have lived to this day. Right now, we can still keep a life and steal our joy." Fu Lianyue shook her head. "The Fa Jing Xian Shu, a celestial wonder that has not appeared for many years, has remained untouched for so long, there must be a reason. We still underestimated this trip, or perhaps we were a bit too self-righteous."
"It seems like these Bingyin Clan members appearing here has some unknown reasons. Perhaps it's our luck to run into them." Lou Yi Kong chuckled wryly...
Please: m.lstxt.ccake-winged beasts couldn't help but be furious and launched attack after attack against Lu Xia Tian. However, Lu Xia Tian's current state was not much slower than that of the Triceratops Thunderbeast...
