Chapter 5139: Ice Demon Pearl of the Three Palaces
den emergence of Di Kun, even if they offered a higher reward, it probably wouldn't work.”The Extraterrestrial Alliance conferred for a moment and immediately came up with a plan. Under the cover of...The Ice Corpse Lake is a thousand miles long and frozen solid. Towering mountains pierce the sky.
These undulating mountains all emerged from the Ice Corpse Lake. Viewed from above, they resemble a celestial tapestry, yet stand majestically in formation.
The surface of the lake was like a mirror, reflecting the people and shining with crystal clarity.
To ordinary people, there appears to be nothing unusual. However, celestial immortals, golden immortals, or even great Luo gold immortals who have reached a certain level of cultivation can see the ghostly figures within this ice layer.
The shadows within were like birds in a cage, revealing expressions of pain, confusion, sadness, excitement, and fanaticism, all in one.
Many specters wanted to escape from within, but there was a huge vortex inside the ice layer that held them captive.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, several figures arrived first at the vicinity of the seemingly tranquil Bingchi Lake.
"This is it." Mu Xia's primordial spirit, manifested as a flickering light and shadow, showed a moment of fluctuation. Seeing this Ice Corpse Lake, he clearly couldn't maintain his usual composure anymore.
"This Bing Shi Lake doesn't look that unusual." Lu Yuanzi put her hands on her hips.
"Is there nothing strange about this place Don't forget Mu Xia, and even the former Lord of Penglin Hall fell victim here. Now his physical body is still frozen in the lake. The danger here should not be underestimated."
The Palace Master of Bing Yao Palace looked solemn. As the weakest member of the team, her strength was only comparable to that of Lu Yuanzi, and even inferior to Mu Xia, who had lost his physical body but gained a fragment of a sword tablet, experiencing some fortuitous encounter.
As for the Yiyang Xianzun who has gradually mastered the Burning Cloud Immortal Flame and Xuexieyun's smoke, as well as the Lotus avatar who has refined two fragments of the Sword Tablet, it's even harder to compare.

Facing a dangerous place like Bingchi Lake with insufficient strength, the Palace Master of Bingyton Palace seemed rather lacking in confidence.

"Be careful behind you. If I fight powerful beings like the Ice Soul Golden Scale Corpse Emperor, I may not be able to look after you here," the Lotus avatar said to Xiao Yu.
"Rest assured, City Lord. I can handle ordinary crises myself." Xiao Yu nodded confidently.
As the only Golden Immortal in the team, Xiao Yu's ability to survive until now was naturally due to the care of his lotus avatar.
However, the lotus avatar would only make a move when faced with enemies of the level of Great Luo Jinxian or when the number of enemies was so great that she couldn't cope.
In most cases, Xiao Yu still handled things on her own. The lotus avatar had acquired many spoils that she couldn't use, so she gave them all to Xiao Yu. In addition, she continuously imparted to her some new swordsmanship insights.
Through constant battles and trials, Xiao Yu's strength also advanced rapidly. Even a few Golden Immortals teaming up would find it difficult to withstand his attacks unless they were proficient in battle formations and combined attack techniques.
Moreover, Xiao Yu was also quite adept at the way of survival. As long as she didn't encounter powerful cultivators at the level of a Da Luo Jinxian, she would be relatively safe.

"The icy aura of Ice Corpse Lake is quite oppressive to me. I'm afraid I'll need more help from you, Lord Unnamed City Master, later." Yi Yang Xianzun has made great progress in his strength recently, but he has given up on competing with the Lotus Avatar.
Since the lotus incarnation has been continuously refining the two pieces of the sword tablet fragments, its mastery in the swordsmanship has advanced rapidly, and the gap between the two sides is constantly widening. At this time, the lotus incarnation has undoubtedly become the strongest among the entire team.
>
There's no time for politeness right now, Lotus split-self directly nodded in agreement.
"Do you remember where your physical body was frozen" the lotus avatar asked Mu Xia.
“I don't remember, at the time my soul was lucky to escape from Bingchi Lake. Where would I have the time to worry about the location of my physical body.”
"When I first entered the area of the Ice Corpse Lake with Lord Penglin and several others, the lake surface was shrouded in mist and clouds. The formations were activated together, and we lost sight of them instantly."
Until his body was encased in ice within the Ice Corpse Lake, he escaped from inside, and didn't know how he had gotten out of the formation in a daze. However, it should be related to the fragment of the Saint Soul Sword Monument." Mu Xia recalled the situation at the time, still feeling uneasy.
"That is to say, the Ice-Soul Golden Scale Corpse Emperor never appeared from beginning to end." Yi Yang Xianzun's face was solemn, the enemy's strength was obviously beyond expectations.
Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't easily come over to provoke a powerful existence like the Ice Soul Golden Scale Corpse Emperor. Even if several Heavenly Court's Great Luo Jinxian were trapped here, it wouldn't be enough to make them risk coming.
However, Mu Xia's identity was obviously different. Since they had already arrived here, if they didn't go in and investigate the situation before retreating, how could they explain it to Dong Li Xianjun later
“It has never appeared, perhaps the other party has already made a move, but at that time I and Lord Penglin did not notice it. Besides the Bingpo Jinshen Corpse Emperor, there are other Daluo Jinxian-level powerhouses in the entire Bingchi Lake.” Mu Xia shook her head.

“This is a difficult situation. We don't even know where Mu Xia’s body is, how can we find it” Lu Yuanzi felt the problem was incredibly complex. “Ice Corpse Lake is so vast, we can’t possibly turn the whole thing upside down, can we”
“When the enemy is still, there are no openings. Then, we must find a way to make them move.” The lotus avatar said softly.
"The Unnamed City Lord means we take the initiative. After stirring up this stagnant water of Bingchi Lake, perhaps Mu Xia will be able to sense her physical body" Yi Yang Xianzun's eyes flashed, and he roughly understood what the Lotus avatar meant.
"Very well, even the corpse qi within Ice Corpse Lake, and no matter how strong the restrictions are, they're only temporary. As long as there's a flaw exposed, we'll have an opportunity." The Palace Master of Bingyan Palace nodded.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"We join forces to explore the Lake of Ice Corpses. If we succeed, we'll do our utmost to help you reclaim your physical body. If not, we'll withdraw and wait for reinforcements from the Heavenly Court. Are things alright on your end"
Because of my relationship, the Lotus Avatar will try its best to help. However, if the enemy is too strong, the Lotus Avatar will naturally not lead Xiao Yu and the others into danger.
The Ice Phoenix Palace Master, Lu Yuanzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but admire the lotus avatar.
The strength of the lotus avatar depends on its wielder's power. It's reliable in crucial moments and possesses enough backbone to stand up for itself. The same can't be said for these others.

If the enemies of Ice Corpse Lake were truly too powerful, they had only just managed to cultivate to their current level. Who would be willing to lose their lives here
Originally, the group had come with great confidence. However, after a series of setbacks within the Haihun Palace, both Bingyān's Palace Master and Lü Yuánzi's confidence had been significantly shaken.
After all, he saved Mu Xia's primordial spirit and destroyed the traitorous master of Penglin Hall. This trip was considered a great harvest. Facing some unbeatable enemies, they no longer needed to risk their lives.
“Rest assured, if the enemies in Bingchi Lake are too powerful, I won't put you in danger. It's already a pleasant surprise that my soul can escape this predicament.” Mu Xia nodded.
Mú Xià's statement finally let everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.
After reaching a consensus, the group slowly entered the territory of Bing Shi Lake. The crystalline ice layer on the lake surface clearly reflected their shadows.
The lotus avatar's brow furrowed slightly as she gazed downward. She saw the reflections of several figures in the ice layer becoming increasingly ferocious, seeming to have gained a consciousness of their own and beginning to lash out at them.
“This shadow is rather peculiar.” Lu Yuanzi, the Palace Master of Bingyun Palace, as well as the First Yang Immortal Venerable and others also noticed something amiss.
"Ice Demon, Jie Ying!" First Yang Immortal Venerable's expression was solemn.
Lu Yuanzi, the master of Bingyan Palace, was startled. "A creature like Jieying is said to have disappeared from the fairy world. How could it appear in Bingchi Lake"
> “It is said that when the Heavenly Court of the Underworld battled in the Ruins of Shadowed Light, they completely exterminated the Jieying Demons. After the Ruins of Shadowed Light fell into disrepair, the Jieying Demons vanished without a trace. How could they appear inside Bingchi Lake” Lu Yuanzi thought about this secret history, and everything felt off to him.
"Perhaps there are some that slipped through the net. Hao Ying Ruins is even older than Hai Hun Palace, and its power isn't much different. It's normal for some to remain."
"First Yang Immortal Lord let out a cold snort, “Using these insignificant tricks to disrupt our vision is simply too naive.”
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
As soon as the words left his mouth, a burst of firelight flashed across the figure of the First Yang Immortal reflected in the ice.
Suddenly, figures in the firelight began to twist and contort, screams echoing one after another. A moment later, a plume of green smoke rose from the ice, and then the reflection of the Yang Xianzun returned to normal.
The lotus-born deity's spiritual awareness stirred, and a figure within the ice layer surged with sword light. A plume of blue smoke then emerged.

Lú Yuánzi, Bīngyuǎn Gōng zhǔ and others cast spells individually, quickly shaking off the entanglement of the ice demon Jiéyǐng.
However, Bing Yao Jieying's formidable reputation in the past was now reduced to being effortlessly dealt with by a few people. This left one feeling disconcerted and uneasy.
Before the crowd could ponder for long, the ice peaks on the lake surface began to slowly shift positions. A thick layer of ice mist also spread around, obscuring their vision.
Even with the keen eyesight of several Great Luo Jinxian-level powerhouses, their vision was gradually obstructed, and they could barely see how far away. Sporadic shrieks from the corpses also gradually arose from the ice mist. As time became distorted, the shrieks grew increasingly dense.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Ice corpses of winged monkeys with ice armor all over their bodies shot out from the ice mist, instantly encircling Lotus's avatars and the others.
Before the lotus avatar could react, Xiao Yu’s figure flickered. She transformed into dozens of flying swords emitting different colored flames that darted back and forth. Wherever the flying swords passed, the ice corpses of the wing monkeys were directly cut in half. In just a few breaths, a thick layer of broken corpses littered the ground.
When the idle ice corpse came, Xiao Yu single-handedly was enough.
But soon a figure dozens of meters tall appeared in the icy mist. A gigantic, hulking ice-monkey corpse wielding a crystal giant staff swung towards them with ferocious speed.
“Haste!” Xiao Yu’s voice echoed through the void. Five of the dozens of flying swords converged, forming a giant sword that charged directly towards the crystalline glow-stick.
With a metallic clang, the two weapons collided without any flourish. Whoosh! A dozen or so flying swords swarmed in, taking advantage of the hulking ice-monkey corpse's recoil. They attacked its flank with a flurry of swift strikes. Under the whirlwind of blades, the ice-monkey corpse was hacked into dozens of pieces that scattered to the ground.
“Your swordsmanship is truly extraordinary, with such a deep foundation and profound cultivation. It seems only a matter of time before you achieve the realm of embodying Laws.”
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Upon seeing Xiao Yu's peerless sword qi, Yi Yang Xianzun couldn't help but praise him.
Xiao Yu majored in the Fire Law, just like him. In a place like Bingchi Lake, his influence was particularly noticeable.
Even with Xiao Yu's cultivation, as a Golden Immortal, the fire-based law space was difficult to use freely in a place like Bingchi Lake.
Even in this situation, Xiao Yu was still able to kill the powerful ice corpse of the winged monkey in such a short amount of time.
Such a ruthless method was also invaluable in the eyes of Xianzun Yiyang. Xianzun Yiyang asked himself, even if he were Xiao Yu with this level of cultivation, it would be difficult to achieve such a feat.
“If it weren't for the fact that he belongs to Lord Wuming City, I would have taken him as my disciple.”
"As the chief sword servant under my command, Xiao Yu would naturally not be lacking." The lotus avatar's expression was calm, and she did not seem particularly surprised by Xiao Yu's actions.
Xiao Yu's experience fighting alongside Luo Yangyu and his horde of demons in a single battle alone surpassed that of any other cultivator of the same rank. Moreover, inheriting his cultivation techniques and coupled with his innate talent for combat, he rarely fell behind even when facing opponents of equal strength.
"Using mountain mist as a formation, the entire vast glacier as its foundation, and ice corpses as its minions. The ice corpses within this lake, after centuries of accumulation, number almost endlessly."
"If we fail to break through this formation, we, just a few of us, will surely be drained and extinguished before the depths of Ice Corpse Lake." Lu Yuzi said with a grave expression.
"Let's just charge right through, clearing mountains and building bridges over water. The few of us working together might not completely break the formation, but at least we can minimize its effect. When our troops suffer heavy casualties, I don't believe the Ice Soul Golden Scale Corpse Emperor will be able to sit idly by."
The lotus avatar's eyes flickered as it scanned the surroundings. To prevent Xiao Yu from overexerting himself too early, the lotus avatar stretched out its sleeve and with a wave, a soul-cleaving sword materialized above its head.
The flying sword, like a swimming dragon, slowly patrolled the surroundings. Where it passed, several ice corpses of the Jinxian level that were about to attack Xiao Yu were intimidated by the sword intent, and their movements inevitably stagnated for a moment. The flying sword trembled slightly, and several sword lights took advantage of the situation and shot into the ice corpses' brains. Several ice corpses let out a wail and fell to the ground with a bang.
An ice corpse is stronger than a physical body but weaker than a soul. The nameless city lord's method is good, but it can only be used by the nameless city lord.

The Ice-Phoenix Palace Master let out a sigh. In the time it took for several people to speak, the surrounding ice mist grew heavier and heavier. The Ice-Phoenix Palace Master stretched out their hand, and a crystal ice bead flew out from their palm.
Inside the ice bead, there are three illusory palaces of ice, arranged in a pin shape. Each palace is shimmering with mysterious runes.
"Three Palaces Ice Demon Pearl! It is said that this was obtained by the Eastern Region Immortal Monarch when he slayed the Three Palaces Yun Luo Demon Emperor on the battlefield of immortals and demons. How did it end up in your hands"
Yiyang Xianzun exclaimed. Although Sandian Yunluo Yao Huang hadn't been conferred the title of Yaojun, he was a powerful being extremely close to the level of a Yaojun.
The third, the Ice Demon Orb, is a semi-step Xuan Tian level magic weapon and its most famous treasure. Many powerful figures in the Immortal Realm have fallen to this Demon Emperor's hands. If not for this, the Eastern離 Immortal King would not have personally taken action to subdue this demon.
"The Immortal Lord bestowed this upon another, and I traded ten drops of Bingyan primordial liquid for it. While it suits me quite well, the artifact was already damaged during the battle between the Three Palaces Yunluo Demon Emperor and the Immortal Lord. It can no longer compare to its former glory."
The Ice Phoenix Palace Master let out a slight sigh, then her eyes turned sharp, "However, dealing with these low-level ice corpses is no problem at all. The only trouble is that after I use this orb, I won't have the energy to deal with other same-rank ice corpses. I need a few of you to protect me."
Please: m.badaoge leaves of the Qingye Dan furnace were spinning rapidly within the immense and blazing flames of the Brahma True Fire. 。Since he broke through to the realm of a celestial immortal, he gathered enough...
