Chapter 308: Profound Ice Palace

This problem had been bothering Xiao Chen for a very long time. Up until now, he had no way of solving it. Because of this, he had nearly given up on the Great Perfection Lingyun Saber Technique.

This was because Xiao Chen’s comprehension towards the state of mountain in the Saber Technique had permanently halted. There were even signs of it deteriorating. The state of mountain clouds had completely fallen apart.

When the state fell apart, the might of the saber was incomplete. Before Xiao Chen executed the move, it would already be broken. How could he dare to use it?

Xiao Chen asked sullenly, “Is there any way if I want to preserve my lightning-attributed Essence?”

Yun Kexin thought for a while and said, “There are some ways. If you can find a lightning-attributed Heaven Ranked Cultivation Technique, or even a lightning-attributed peak Earth Ranked Cultivation Technique, that should be able to do it. However, if you wish to dual cultivate, your cultivation speed will be slower than regular cultivators.”

The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation should not be weaker than the Roaming Dragon Incantation. It looks like I can give cultivating the Roaming Dragon Incantation a try.

However, Xiao Chen had some doubts over dual cultivating. He asked, “Why is it that the dual attributed cultivators I have seen do not have lower cultivation realms despite dual cultivating?”

Yun Kexin smiled and said, “You must be talking about Murong Chong. According to what I know, he cultivates the Wind Cloud Incantation. This is a peak Earth Ranked Cultivation Technique that naturally is dual attributed. Such Cultivation Techniques are extremely rare. Their value is no lower than a Heaven Ranked Cultivation Technique.”

Xiao Chen was enlightened. So that’s why. No wonder Murong Chong’s states of wind and clouds could be merged so perfectly.

If Xiao Chen had cultivated a dual attribute Cultivation Technique, everything would happen when the time is right. However, it was unknown how Yun Kexin knew such a secret.

The two chatted for a while more after that. Eventually, Yun Kexin got up and said, “I shall take my leave first. I intend to give up on tomorrow’s mission. You should take care of yourself.”

“Why?”

When Xiao Chen heard that, he was somewhat surprised. He believed that with Yun Kexin’s strength, there was no problem in her ranking within the top ten of the group. Why did she choose to give up?

Yun Kexin explained, “It is too dangerous. Before I came, I did not expect it to be the Ink Forest. Furthermore, there is so much compet.i.tion. I have just obtained a Heaven Ranked Cultivation Technique. In the end, my experience is still less than those people.”

To have a clear understanding of one’s strength and not get overconfident because of a Heaven Ranked Cultivation Technique, then making a decision calmly; the frame of mind Yu Kexin had was something not many cultivators could achieve.

As Xiao Chen watched Yun Kexin leave, he pondered in his heart. Such humility is something every cultivator should learn.

Since ancient times, there were many geniuses who had died as a result of their blind confidence. Geniuses who died prematurely were no longer geniuses; they were simply stepping stones for others.

A deep light was revealed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. He said with a grave expression, “I should not be in too much danger at the periphery of the Ink Forest. However, I cannot let my guard down. The true danger might not be the Demonic Beasts in the Forest. Instead, they might be the companions around me.”

When the sun rose and sunlight lit the land, Xiao Chen came out of his cultivating state. After he finished was.h.i.+ng up, someone immediately led him to a dueling ground within the residence.

The other outstanding talents had arrived one after another in the dueling ground. Xiao Chen looked around and noticed that aside from Yun Kexin, no one else had backed out.

“Look! The Duanmu Clan’s Profound Ice Palace is flying over.”

Suddenly, a large shadow was cast over everyone. When they raised their heads to take a look, they saw a huge ice bird, a hundred meters long and with a wingspan of four hundred meters.

There was a nine-floored ice palace on the back of the ice bird. This was the Duanmu Clan’s famous Profound Ice Palace.

It was said that out of the ten flying complete Secret Treasures with combat formations in the Great Qin Nation, the other nine were in the hands of the royal court.

“It looks like the Duanmu Clan is putting in a lot of effort into this mission. They really used the Profound Ice Palace. I’ve heard that the upkeep of the flying and combat of the Profound Ice Palace requires two hundred Medial Grade Spirit Stones per day.”

“Weng!”

The Profound Ice Palace landed firmly on the vast dueling ground. Duanmu Qing opened the doors to the ice palace and invited everyone in.

The crowd all entered, walking in a line. They were very curious about this famous Profound Ice Palace. After they entered, they looked all around the ice palace, a.s.sessing it.

The incredibly cold Profound Ice Palace did not make the cultivators feel cold after they entered. Instead, there was a refres.h.i.+ng feeling, it was actually quite comfortable.

After entering the first floor of the ice palace, they saw an incredibly vast hall. In the middle of the hall were tables, chairs, and all sorts of furniture; everything needed was present. Of course, this furniture was all made of ice.

There were some carvings on the surrounding walls, all extremely beautiful. There were also a large number of windows, so they could see the situation outside.

Duanmu Qing led the crowd to the second floor. There were many rooms on the second floor. Every one of the hundred-odd people were able to get a room to themselves.

Before they departed, Duanmu Qing warned them in a soft voice, “Everyone may move around freely on the first and second floor. However, do not enter into the third floor. I hope everyone will follow the rules.”

After Duanmu Qing spoke, a portion of people felt disappointed. However, there was no one who dared to break her rules in the Profound Ice Palace.

Even without Xiao Chen extending out his Spiritual Sense, he could feel at least ten strong auras. The weakest was a Medial Grade Martial King.
