Chapter 256: Tianhan GorgeIn the extreme north of the Dongxuan Territory is an endless ice field. In the northwest direction, within the territory of Qianhai Sect, there is a natural canyon that stretches for thousands of miles. The canyon is filled with biting cold winds all year round, so it is named "Tianhan Gorge". The storm in Tianhan Gorge is extremely cold. Even a strong man in the Nirvana Realm finds it difficult to withstand the extreme icy force. But dangers often come with rewards. Although the cold wind in the canyon has great destructive power, it also has the effect of tempering the body. The environment in the canyon can provide this kind of tempering, making it an excellent place for physical training. The Qianhai Sect naturally discovered this as well, and the sect's senior strongmen took action to transform the Tianhan Gorge into a place for the sect's disciples to strengthen their bodies. On this day, a figure in a fluttering white dress appeared outside Tianhan Gorge. Mu Zi looked at the extremely cold storm in the canyon that seemed to be real, and a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes. In the past, there was also a Xuanyin Gorge in Dahuang County, which was filled with cold wind and strong energy, and was somewhat similar to the canyon in front of us. However, compared with the storm in Tianhan Gorge, those cold winds are nothing. I still remember that it was near Xuanyinjian that I accidentally met Qian Yuanzi, and thus the young master of Qianhai Sect was born.
Speaking of which, I haven’t seen that old man Qian Yuanzi for a long time. I hope he doesn’t run into any trouble? While thinking, Mu Zi entered the Tianhan Gorge. Suddenly, biting cold wind came from all directions, hitting Mu Zi's delicate body like sharp ice knives. The white dress that Mu Zi was wearing was the most top-notch Heaven-class Spiritual Treasure. In addition to its most important beauty and comfort, it also provided excellent protection. The biting cold wind could not cut through the thin dress. The cold wind blew, scratching Mu Zi's exposed body. However, that seemingly soft skin seemed more flexible than the white dress covering her delicate body. No matter how hard the extreme cold storm passed, it could not leave a trace on those slender arms and bare feet. If you look closely, you will see a faint glow flowing on Mu Zi's skin. That is the condensation of physical strength brought about by the Great Wilderness Transformation Sage Technique, which is enough to ignore those storms that can threaten the Nirvana Realm. If Lin Dong came here, he might activate the Qingtian Hualong Jue and transform into a blue dragon body to resist the cold wind, but in that case, it would not be as beautiful as Mu Zi's. In the ice-blue storm, a white figure flew by, and the soft colors dotted among the sharp ice wind had a unique beauty. Mu Zi went deeper into the canyon and soon came to a unique area. This area is shrouded in a translucent light shield, through which one can see some figures moving forward with difficulty. The function of the light shield is not to isolate the cold wind from the outside world. On the contrary, it gathers the extreme cold storm in a way, thereby compressing and transforming it into a more powerful energy, the Ice Demon Power. Strands of blue-white air currents surged inside the light shield, occasionally washing over the figures inside. At this moment, their bodies had transformed into a crystal-clear and deep ice-blue color, tenacious and solid, like tenacious black ice. The airflow hit the icy body, making a series of "cracking" sounds, as if it was knocking on ice crystals. With this knocking, a trace of weak ice magic power seeped into the body, and they gritted their teeth to refine it and strengthen their bodies. Most of these figures are the direct disciples of Qianhai Sect. They came to Tianhan Gorge and used the environment here to practice the quasi-heavenly level body-refining martial arts, the Ice Demon Body. The light shield covering this area is Qianhai Sect’s pure spiritual treasure, the Xuanbing Shield. The Mysterious Ice Cover is a spiritual treasure of auxiliary nature. Its function is to absorb the extremely cold storm gathered in the Tianhan Gorge, compress it and transform it into ice magic power, to assist the disciples of Qianhai Sect in cultivating the ice magic body. After discovering this canyon, the senior warriors of Qianhai Sect specially created this kind of spiritual treasure so that they could make better use of the cold wind. Pure Yuan treasures of this nature are extremely rare, and Mu Zi was somewhat interested in it. In addition, she had never seen the scene of Qianhai Sect disciples practicing the Ice Demon Body, so she came to Tianhan Gorge to take a look. Among those disciples who were practicing body refining, Mu Zi saw a slender figure. What surprised her was that the person was actually the chief of the Equipment Refining Hall, Dong Xuan. Dong Xuan was obsessed with refining treasures, so even though she was a direct disciple, she did not practice the "Ice Demon Body", the Qianhai Sect's representative body-refining martial art. Now, Dong Xuan's appearance in Tianhan Gorge means that she has made changes and started to focus on physical training.
In the canyon, Dong Xuan's situation was not very good at the moment. Because she had neglected the cultivation of her physical body before, her body was very fragile. Even though she had started to cultivate the Ice Demon Body, she could not make up for it in a short time. Therefore, Dong Xuan did not dare to enter the light shield and accept the tempering of the Ice Demon Power. She could only use the cold wind in the outer canyon to cultivate her body. However, Dong Xuan was too delicate and frail to withstand the storm in Tianhan Gorge. At this time, her yellow dress was already torn, revealing her delicate body. Dong Xuan's exposed body was glowing with a faint blue glow and was crystal clear. Perhaps it was because her Ice Demon Body had not been cultivated to perfection. Through her ice-blue skin, one could vaguely see her meridians and the bright red blood flowing in them. Dong Xuan clenched her teeth, her pretty face no longer had the pure and elegant color, her delicate body trembled constantly under the cold wind blowing in the canyon, and white marks appeared on her icy skin. "Woo!" From time to time, a moan came out of her mouth, venting the unbearable pain. Her watery eyes had turned an icy blue, and there was a look of confusion in her eyes. Mu Zi looked at Dong Xuan's devastated appearance and shook her head slightly. Then she raised a slender jade finger, and in the blink of an eye, a vitality force flowed out from her fingertips, penetrated the cold wind in the canyon, fell on Dong Xuan's delicate body, and then seeped into her body like spring rain. As the vitality force was absorbed, Dong Xuan's pressure was greatly reduced. An even richer ice-blue color emanated from her body, and she stood firm in the cold wind. Dong Xuan felt the warmth in her body, and was pleasantly surprised. She raised her head and looked around, and saw a fairy-like figure. Mu Zi smiled at her, then flashed and appeared in the light shield. "Little Sister, you're here!" A joyful voice was heard, and a tall figure came towards Mu Zi from afar. Unlike others who were struggling to move, that figure was relaxed and at ease under the influence of the airflow. Mu Zi looked at Cao Xuan, only to see that her body was enveloped in a layer of brilliant light, the light was pure and bright, like ice crystals carved from glass. "Your Ice Demon Body has been fully developed?" Cao Xuan walked up to Mu Zi, smiled and nodded, with joy in her eyes. Not long ago, she finally cultivated the Ice Demon Body to perfection. From then on, she could control it freely, just like an ordinary person. Relying on the perfected Ice Demon Body, Cao Xuan, who has reached the Nine-Element Nirvana, can protect himself in front of a strong man who is half a step into the Shengxuan realm. Mu Zi stood beside Cao Xuan, looking at the cold wind in the canyon, a hint of inquiry flashing in her eyes. "Where does the cold wind in Tianhan Gorge come from?" Mu Zi looked up at the tall Cao Xuan and asked curiously. Cao Xuan thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied: "do not know." "After the sect's seniors discovered Tianhan Gorge, they also explored everywhere, but they were unable to find the source of the extreme cold storm, and later nothing was done about it." Mu Zi nodded slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, an idea came to his mind. Since she is here, it would not hurt to explore a little. Maybe she will be lucky and encounter some opportunity. "I'm going to go look deeper into the canyon. Don't worry about me." Mu Zi left a word, then turned into a ray of light, swept out of the light shield, and disappeared in the cold wind in the blink of an eye. (End of this chapter)
