  During the moment of crisis, Xiang Shaoyun tossed them far away and shouted, "Money, escort them forward."

  As he spoke, Money shot out and enlarged before carrying the sisters away. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he drew his Overlord Skyslaying Saber and slashed at the water jiao. Boundless lightning energy rained down on the water jiao, causing it to wail in pain.

  With the inclusion of water, the lightning energy was even more destructive. After succeeding in his first attack, Xiang Shaoyun did not show any mercy. He entered the human saber unity mode and sent a powerful saber energy forth, smashing that water jiao back into the sea.

  Xiang Shaoyun showed no mercy the moment he decided to attack. He repeatedly swung his sharp saber, sending out a series of saber energies to help the Glacier Palace members. With Xiang Shaoyun's help, Han Chenfei forced the strongest water jiao away, allowing their group to leave safely.

  During that little episode, two had been seriously injured while five had been lightly injured. As for the rest, they had not suffered much. Fortunately, those in the group were all geniuses with their own life preservation methods. Otherwise, that encounter would have been enough to result in deaths.

  As for the Han Clan sisters, since they hadn't been of any help, they could only apologize guiltily.

  "Alright. Don't blame yourselves. After we remedy the flaws of your physiques, both of you will be my left and right arms," Han Chenfei comforted.

  The Glacier Palace members shot the sisters gazes of envy when they heard that. Han Chenfei was one who cared deeply for her people. She would not utter such words lightly. Han Lingshuang's eyes flashed with jealousy, but she quickly concealed it.

  "We won't disappoint you, Big Sister Han," promised the sisters. Although they harbored feelings for Xiang Shaoyun, they still couldn't help being moved by Han Chenfei's words.

  The group continued ahead, and three days passed. During this time, they had encountered more powerful water demons, but since the demons had acted alone, they were able to continue ahead safely.

  Today, the eternal iceberg finally appeared before their eyes. The iceberg presented a peculiar sight. It hovered on the sea, never sinking, never melting. It was over 10,000 meters tall and occupied an area spanning kilometers. The sea surface surrounding it was covered by a layer of frost hard enough for people to stand on stably. Atop the iceberg were some frost elemental demonic beasts. This was their territory.

  An intense cold assaulted Xiang Shaoyun's body, causing him to shiver. One ought to admit that this was a suitable place for a frost cultivator to train.

  "Alright. Everyone, you may freely train in this area. Do not easily enter the deep sea, or things will get extremely troublesome. Also, don't split up too far from each other. Help one another if there are any issues. I will bring them to look for the power of extreme cold. During this period, Leng Feng and Lingshuang will be in charge of you all," said Han Chenfei.

  "Yes, young palace master," everyone answered.

  Han Chenfei then led the sisters and Xiang Shaoyun in a different direction.

  "Can you two feel anything?" Han Chenfei asked the sisters.

  Han Xuewei asked in confusion, “Feeling? What feeling? I can't feel anything special, I think."

  On the other hand, Han Qianwei said, "I feel like a certain cold power is attracting the frost energy within our body. I have a sensation it's going to erupt at any time to kill us."

  "Huh? I think you're right! What do we do now?" Han Xuewei finally sensed the same, and her beautiful face paled.

  "That's right. Your frost energy has formed a resonance with the power of extreme cold here. You will be able to locate that place with your senses, and so long as you can absorb that energy of extreme cold into your body, you will be able to fuse the two energies with the Glacier Sutra I taught you. At that time, you will be able to form your Yin Frost Physique. The flaws of your physique will be removed, and your cultivation speed will grow rapidly. But remember, your willpower needs to be firm. Otherwise, you might die," Han Chenfei warned.

  The sisters nodded gravely, firm looks in their eyes.

  Next, Han Chenfei said to Xiang Shaoyun, "Things will be the most dangerous after we go underwater. You can't hide anything there, or all of us might die. But if I really do get myself killed, remember to take care of the Glacier Palace members. Don't let them be bullied."

  It was evident even Han Chenfei wasn't very confident.

  "Don't worry. With me here, everything will be fine." Xiang Shaoyun flashed her a confident grin. Since their lives were on the line, Xiang Shaoyun naturally wouldn't hold back.

  The group arrived at a certain spot on the iceberg. There, a lake could actually be found. The lake was located within the iceberg, framed by layers of ice, with a body of water that had not been frozen in the middle of it. It was quite a peculiar sight.

  Several ice wolves were roaming about before the lake. Their eyes gleamed with viciousness when they saw Xiang Shaoyun's group arrive. However, the demonic aura Money emanated scared them away. These wolves were mere Demon Kings.

  "The land of extreme cold is beneath this lake, which is directly connected to the seabed. I once tried going down there, but the feeling it gave me was extremely dangerous, so I haven't been able to make up my mind to enter," said Han Chenfei as she pointed at the lake.

  Xiang Shaoyun said, "Before entering, Qianwei and Xuewei should first get acclimated to the environment here. I also need some time to deepen my comprehension. It won't be too late to enter afterward."

  "No problem," Han Chenfei agreed.

  And thus, they started a silent cultivation session. Adapting to this environment would make it easier for them to deal with any variables that might arise underwater. Xiang Shaoyun wanted to take this chance to properly sense the profundity of water here.

  During the journey, he had been paying close attention to the sea while using the Desolation mantra to comprehend the power of water. It had benefited him greatly. Now, he needed to focus and meditate so that he might deepen his comprehension.

  Water was continuous and never-ending, gentle and berserk at times. When it was gentle, the world was calm. When it grew berserk, mighty waves would rise. In lacking, it would recede. In abundance, it would overflow. Receding and overflowing would both cause harm, such was the way of water.

  Seated cross-legged beside the lake, Xiang Shaoyun started meditating on the profundity of water. As time passed, he had benefited considerably. But it was impossible for him to comprehend the profundity of water in a short period of time.

  He needed to go underwater, to blend with water, becoming one with water. Only then would he be able to fully comprehend the profundity of water. As for Han Chenfei and the sisters, they lived up to their identities as frost cultivators. They rapidly absorbed the frost energy in their surroundings, transforming into three flawless ice sculptures.

  With their frost physique, they could totally borrow the power at the iceberg to further their cultivation. That was especially true for the sisters, as their cultivation levels were still comparatively low. They were filled with power after absorbing the energy here, and they edged closer to the Dragon Ascension Realm.

  At the iceberg's summit, an old ice wolf was overlooking Xiang Shaoyun's group. His eyes gleamed with wisdom as he muttered, "Repulsive humans, you're trying to steal the iceberg's heart again? You will all die horribly!"

  Chapter 688: Ice Arrowfish

  Xiang Shaoyun spent seven days meditating by the lake. During the seven days, he had gained a certain level of comprehension of the power of water. He had also made considerable gains on the power of frost. After all, water and frost had a deep connection. With his current environment and the help of the Desolation mantra, his gains were decent.

  When he woke up, he said, "Let's go."

  After the seven days, his water star had grown much more plentiful. He was confident he could make use o
f his water star much better. Han Chenfei and the sisters broke out of the layer of ice they were in. Akin to blooming snow lotuses, they looked incomparably beautiful. That was especially true for Han Chenfei, who was gentle and beautiful. Even the Han Clan sisters seemed to be lacking in her presence.

  "Good. Let's go. Remember to prepare your strongest defense," said Han Chenfei.

  After slight preparation, they entered the lake. The moment Xiang Shaoyun entered the water, an intense cold caused him to tremble. He could sense a large amount of frost energy permeating and beginning to numb his body.

  He had originally thought that his body was strong enough to not fear cold, but it seemed that wasn't the case in this lake. Xiang Shaoyun was forced to use his astral energy to resist the cold and let his limbs stay nimble.

  However, the deeper he went, the stronger the frost energy was. He was even forced to use Yun Flame's power to prevent himself from being frozen to death.

  The frost energy here is so dense. Even a regular Emperor would be directly frozen, thought Xiang Shaoyun warily.

  Through the crystal clear water, he could see that Han Chenfei and the sisters were unaffected. Akin to mermaids, they continued swimming deeper into the water.

  Xiang Shaoyun could see their flawless figures through their drenched clothes, the outline of their bountiful peaks and perky buttocks visible before his eyes. They seemed to emanate allure, causing his blood to boil. For a moment, he even forgot he was surrounded by the power of frost.

  Han Chenfei seemed to sense something as she glanced over at Xiang Shaoyun. When she saw the odd look in his eyes, she blushed slightly.

  She glared at him furiously as she cursed inwardly, What a pervert!

  Facing Han Chenfei's gaze, Xiang Shaoyun did not retreat. Rather, he continued gazing at them openly. He righteously thought to himself that he was in charge of their security so he had to keep them in his field of vision. That way, he would be able to prevent any mishaps from happening.

  Unknowingly, they had already dived several hundred meters underwater, and the power of frost was at a level where no Emperors should be able to endure. Without the power of Yun Flame, Xiang Shaoyun himself would have long transformed into an ice sculpture as well.

  As for Han Chenfei and the sisters, they were still unaffected. Rather, they seemed extremely excited, as if the frost energy was the best tonic for them. Right this moment, Xiang Shaoyun's senses blazed, and without any hesitation, he charged toward the three ladies and took on his job as guard.

  Whoosh!

  Abruptly, a figure appeared from nowhere and rushed them. With his extraordinary reaction time, Xiang Shaoyun slammed his palms out repeatedly, condensing the water around him before blasting it out to block the incoming figure.

  After pushing the figure away, he activated his gift of instincts. Only then did he see that the newcomer was a massive ice fish. The ice fish looked extremely monstrous. It had the body of a carp and the head of an arrow. Its head looked extremely sharp and gave off the illusion that the fish's mouth would pierce a hole in anyone's body whom it stabbed.

  Along with that fish, even more ice fish appeared around them. They were now surrounded by no fewer than 200 of these fish, causing the three ladies to sink into a panic. Han Chenfei was the first to react. She instantly formed a layer of ice around her to protect herself and the sisters.

  The sisters did not dare to slack off and quickly joined their astral energy with Han Chenfei to form a defensive ice wall, blocking the ice arrowfish outside. Xiang Shaoyun was less lucky. Since he used a different type of power, he had no way of joining his defense with them and could only rely on himself.

  "Go first. I'll watch the rear," said Xiang Shaoyun.

  As they were underwater, only a short-distance voice transmission would work. If they were farther away, he would have no way of transmitting his voice over.

  "You be careful as well," Han Chenfei's voice was transmitted over.

  Then, the three ladies pushed on with their ice wall. The many ice arrowfish had no way of harming them. The ice arrowfish charged the wall again and again, flinging chunks of ice everywhere and creating an ear-piercing sound.

  Generally, with how sharp their mouths were, an ice wall shouldn't pose them much issue. But in their current environment, the ice wall received a great boost. Thus, any damage dealt to the wall was quickly repaired.

  Because of that, the many ice arrowfish had nothing to show for their hard work of attacking the ladies. That left Xiang Shaoyun to take their fury as the ice arrowfish redirected their attacks toward him.

  "Shit!" Xiang Shaoyun cried out as he circulated the water energy with all his might, trying his best to escape the encirclement.

  However, he had no way of displaying his speed underwater. Hence, he failed in escaping and was turned into the fish's living target. He quickly activated his Goldplate defense to block the attacks.

  However, not even his Goldplates worked as this technique was suppressed here. They were penetrated, and numerous sharp mouths tried to stab into his body. Fortunately, he was still wearing his broken armor. The armor was comparable to a sovereign-grade armor and successfully blocked the attacks.

  Left with no choice, he released his innate lightning, instantly transforming his surroundings into a world of ice and lightning. The lightning assault sent the fish flailing about. They had never been attacked by something like that before, and one after another, they fainted. As for the other ice arrowfish, they retreated in fear.

  Xiang Shaoyun sighed with relief as he thought, Fortunately, the power of lightning is also boosted underwater. Otherwise, I would have been cut alive.

  He then chased after the three ladies with his lightning power maintained around him. Unfortunately for them, after the ice arrowfish, they encountered even more trouble. Deep in the water, an enormous figure appeared.

  The three ladies stopped unhesitatingly the moment they saw the massive figure. Apart from their fear of the figure, they could also sense that the energy of extreme cold was located right below it. Thus, going around the figure was not even an option.

  Chapter 689: Alarming Ice Coffin

  Both Han Chenfei and the Han Clan sisters did not dare to move rashly. Facing a huge monster like that, it only needed to exert a little power to reduce all three of them into a pile of mincemeat.

  Xiang Shaoyun's scalp felt numb as he asked inwardly, What is this? It's so big!

  He couldn't resist using his Nether Soul Domain to sense ahead, and he found that the massive figure was actually the shell of a turtle. The shell was as large as a mountain. How many years had this old turtle lived?

  Fortunately, the turtle seemed to be asleep at the moment. Otherwise, things wouldn't remain so peaceful for them. For a moment, all four of them were at a loss as to what to do. The energy of extreme cold was something they had to obtain, but it did not seem worth giving up their lives for.

  Han Chenfei spoke to Xiang Shaoyun through voice transmission, "Let's return. This can very well be a legendary black tortoise. We can't anger it, or all of us will die."

  The black tortoises were one of the four great demonic beast clans, alongside the azure dragons, the white tigers, and the vermilion birds(phoenixes). Of course, a black tortoise's combat prowess might not be comparable to one of the other three races, but its defensive prowess was absolutely great. A demonic beast like it was not something they could contend with.

  "Is the energy of extreme cold really helpful for them?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.

  "It's useful, and it's even useful for me! But I treasure my life. No matter how useful it can be, we can only give up on it," Han Chenfei replied.

  She then commanded the sisters to leave.

  "You leave first. I'll go take a look and see if I can get some energy of extreme cold for you," said Xiang Shaoyun after some hesitation, a resolute look on his face.

  Since the target was already before him, he did not want to give up just like that. After a
ll, he still had some trump cards that might be able to keep him concealed from the black tortoise and steal the energy of extreme cold.

  "Have you gone crazy?" Han Chenfei grew agitated.

  It was at this moment that there was a slight movement coming from the black tortoise. Their hearts nearly popped out of their throats in their nervousness.

  "Listen to me, just leave. I will be able to get away," said Xiang Shaoyun before vanishing before them.

  Han Chenfei blanked out as she exclaimed inwardly, Where did he go? As the young palace master of the Glacier Palace, she had a rather rich experience during her time at the Northern Border. She knew about a lot of secret techniques, but she had never seen a technique to vanish right before someone's eyes like what Xiang Shaoyun had just done.

  Is it the trait of invisibility exclusive to the Imperial Nether Clan? But he is clearly human! Or perhaps he has a unique armor of invisibility or some illusory technique? Han Chenfei's thoughts were in a mess.

  Fortunately, she was able to recover quickly, and she led the sisters back to the surface. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he remained where he was. He waited until they left before he started planning his next step.

  With his senses, he tried to sense the exact location of the energy of extreme cold. However, the black tortoise's large body had blocked part of his senses. Helpless, he could only dive deeper and go around the black tortoise. So long as he went in the direction from which the chill was spreading, he would probably find the energy of extreme cold.

  When he arrived beside the black tortoise, he looked at the complicated markings on its shell. The markings looked like the runes of the most complicated formation in the world, one that dazzled the eyes of anyone looking at it.

  The more complicated the markings on a black tortoise's shell, the older the tortoise was, and the stronger it would be.

  Please don't wake up, Xiang Shaoyun thought nervously.

  What he was doing was extremely risky. Any carelessness would result in his death. When he arrived underneath the black tortoise, he found something. Cold energy was constantly surging out from a certain spot beneath the black tortoise, dropping the surrounding temperatures to the extremes. Xiang Shaoyun shivered in the cold.
