Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2357 Vortex

Tianmu Butterfly achieved a breakthrough more than three hundred years later than Qin Sang, but it was still an outstanding achievement among people of the same level.

During these three hundred years, Qin Sang has also been practicing non-stop, but the progress has not been smooth. The opportunity to visit the holy land of the alien race is hard to come by.

During this breakthrough, Tianmu Butterfly only stayed at the bottleneck for a few short years. It was obvious that the Emperor's Platform's pulp was playing a subtle role. If the Ghost Mother had not exaggerated, this effect would at least continue until Tianmu Butterfly broke through the seventh transformation.

After the breakthrough, Tianmu Butterfly quickly stabilized its breath and flew around Qin Sang, full of joy, because she finally caught up with her master and no longer had to worry about being abandoned.

Sensing the Tianmu Butterfly's intention, Qin Sang sighed in his heart. At this time, he heard a sound of breaking air from outside, and then a red light rushed into the cave, revealing a Qilin and a Vermilion Bird.

"Breakthrough?"

The Vermilion Bird rolled its eyes around as it looked at the Tianmu Butterfly and curled its lips. This butterfly's cultivation had surpassed its own again.

Qin Sang hummed and called back the Tianmu butterfly that was eager to try.

According to his previous performance, Suzaku should also be able to break through within these three hundred years, but this guy claims that he is practicing a powerful magical power and his cultivation has stagnated for a long time.

Suzaku was lying on Qilin's head.

The little Qilin grew into a big Qilin, but was trapped here for three hundred years with no chance to interact with outsiders, and his temperament remained innocent.

Its cultivation level is now much higher than before, and it has now reached the late stage of Spirit Transformation.

When breaking through the Spirit Transformation Stage, Qilin encountered a bottleneck, but soon succeeded in breaking through. Now it seems that it is not easy to break through the Void Refining Stage, and it may take some time.

Unable to defeat Suzaku, Qilin had no choice but to succumb to Suzaku's power. Before Qin Sang had even had the chance to enjoy the Qilin mount, Suzaku had taken it over.

It is worth mentioning that the Five Elements Crown, after such a long time, Xiao Wu has not changed at all, which completely broke Qin Sang's fantasy. No wonder the acquired spiritual treasures are so rare. For spiritual treasures to advance, it is not enough to accumulate time alone. Like practitioners, they need a suitable opportunity.

Qilin kicked its four hooves and jumped to Qin Sang's side, lying close to the outside of his thigh, trusting and being intimate with him. In Qilin's mind, Qin Sang was not only its master, but also a close relative who was like a father and a mother.

It’s a pity that this close relative couldn’t do anything about the dead bird on his head.

"What did you find?"

Qin Sang asked casually.

He explored this place countless times but couldn't find a way out. Zhuque didn't believe it, so he took Qilin out for a wander whenever he had time, and the results were always as expected.

Zhuque rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "You don't allow us to go down, so what can we find? But this kid just listens to you and refuses to do anything."

You was still not satisfied and slapped Qilin on the head.

Qilin whimpered, full of grievance.

Qin Sang smiled, "Okay, don't bully it. The Sky Eye Butterfly has woken up and should be able to take us away from here."

Zhuque said unwillingly: "Aren't you curious about what's down there? I have a feeling there's a big treasure in there!"

"Even if there is a treasure, it may not be what we need. It is really not worth taking the risk for it..."

Qin Sang shook his head slightly.

He has been practicing cultivation and has taken risks many times, but each time he had a clear goal, fighting for the great way and fighting for opportunity.

What's the point of fighting for an opportunity that is of no benefit to you?

The ice tide above could trap him for three hundred years. Deep in the ice layer, there was probably something more dangerous than the ice tide. If he made a mistake, he would regret it. Therefore, even if there was a peerless secret realm below, he would not be tempted unless he was sure that there was a great opportunity here that could help him break through the fusion stage.

Upon seeing this, Zhuque realized that it was impossible to convince Qin Sang, so he felt bored and went back to the small cave.

Although Qilin wanted to fight alongside Qin Sang, unfortunately his cultivation was not enough. He rubbed Qin Sang with his warm big head and then hid inside.

Three months later.

Qin Sang helped Tianmu Butterfly consolidate their cultivation. The man and the butterfly adjusted their states to the peak, left the cave and flew above the ice layer. Soon they saw the ice tide.

Three hundred years have passed, and the ice tide seems to have not changed. Qin Sang has also figured out some patterns. He took the Tianmu Butterfly and flew along the surface of the ice, and came to the top of an ice cave.

Looking up, with the naked eye, the ice tide above is no different from anywhere else.

Qin Sang closed his eyes slightly, concentrated and sensed for a while, and finally nodded. After communicating with the Tianmu Butterfly in his mind for a moment, he jumped up, turned into a green lightning, and plunged into the ice tide.

He had wings on his back, wore precious armor, a magic sword hung above his head, and held up a fairy mountain in his hand, and displayed most of his abilities.

After entering the ice tide, the sound of swords rang out.

Qin Sang activated the Gray Oriole Sword, resisted the suction, swung up the Immortal Mountain, and forcibly smashed a path in the ice tide. Not long after moving forward, Qin Sang slowed down his movements and felt an unusual aura appear above him.

At this time, the Tianmu Butterfly on Qin Sang's shoulder flapped its wings, and a divine light flashed. Through the heavy ice tide, an ice beast was seen.

This ice beast was not the ice dragon that Qin Sang encountered that year. It looked like a tiger, and its long tiger tail was made up of sections of ice pillars. It was extremely flexible, and a slight swing could sweep across a large area in the ice tide.

When Tianmu Butterfly saw it, this ice tiger only had two front limbs. It grew two hind legs right under Tianmu Butterfly's nose. Its momentum also rose rapidly in the process, and it was no weaker than the ice dragon back then.

This was the first time Qin Sang witnessed the birth of an ice beast, which confirmed some of his previous speculations.

The ice tiger shook its tail and moved freely in the ice tide. Wherever it passed, the ice tide retreated. It was majestic and awe-inspiring, like a beast king patrolling his territory.

Qin Sang did not break into the ice tiger's territory. He stepped back slightly to resist the ice tide and waited patiently for a while. Suddenly, he saw the ice tiger's whole body stiffen, and pieces of ice fell off its body. Its body instantly turned into a ball of broken ice and was swept away by the ice tide.

Immediately afterwards, another aura emerged not far from the ice tiger. This time, an unknown spirit bird was born, almost repeating the previous process of the ice tiger from birth to destruction.

Qin Sang felt as if he was in a fantasy world, with all kinds of birds and beasts constantly appearing. The difference from the fantasy world was that their bodies were made of ice. They really existed and each one was very powerful.

He had been trying to find out the pattern of the birth of these ice beasts, but he had found nothing so far. Perhaps there was no pattern at all. With the help of the Sky Eye Butterfly, he could find the ice beasts in advance and avoid them as soon as possible. Even if there was no pattern, it would be much easier than before.

While Qin Sang was thinking, the third ice beast was born. This ice beast was small in size and looked like a monkey. Its arms were particularly slender and longer than its body. It was a gibbon.

Every spiritual beast transformed by the ice tide was lifelike. Qin Sang had seen all kinds of spiritual beasts over the years, including dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, turtles, fish, snakes, tigers, and so on. There was no way this could be formed naturally by heaven and earth.

Before he even went out, Qin Sang had become wary of the environment outside the Ice Tide, which was one of the reasons why he had not forced his way in. While going out, he had to preserve a certain amount of combat power to deal with external variables, otherwise it would be better to stay inside and accumulate strength.

Tianmu Butterfly breaks through, Qin Sang feels more confident, it's time to leave!

After the ice monkey was shattered, Qin Sang rushed up like lightning and passed through the place where the ice monkey "died" in the blink of an eye. At this time, the fourth ice beast had just been born, and was caught by Qin Sang at a time difference. It was unaware that someone had just broken into its territory.

"feasible!"

Qin Sang was overjoyed and ordered Tianmu Butterfly to continue searching for the ice beast. This happened again and again, and after several successes, he finally failed.

'boom! ’

Ice cubes flew everywhere, and a huge monster rushed towards them.

This was a giant elephant, its body bigger than a mountain. With a flick of its trunk, it created an ice storm in the ice tide, surrounding Qin Sang.

‘Wow! ’

A beam of red flame shot out from the storm and pierced into the ice elephant's brow like a sharp arrow.

Suzaku had long been fed up with this damn place and took the initiative to come out to help, but unfortunately the Ice Elephant had no vital parts on its body, and this attack only slightly hindered its forward momentum.

Immediately afterwards, another mountain flew out from the storm, and the elephant and the mountain collided heavily.

With a loud bang, the surrounding ice tide froze for a moment, and the ice elephant broke into pieces.

The Ice Elephant was killed quickly, but there was no joy on Qin Sang's face, because the Sky Eye Butterfly sent a warning.

In an instant, three auras that were no less powerful than those of the Ice Elephants surrounded them.

It is not difficult to kill these three ice beasts, but it will create a bigger storm, attract more ice beasts, and lead to an endless battle. Coupled with the influence of the ice tide, they have no chance of winning.

Qin Sang decisively ordered: "Retreat!"

The figure fell rapidly, with three ice beasts chasing him relentlessly above his head. Once they discovered the enemy, these ice beasts would not return to the ice tide on their own, but would fight the enemy to the death.

Qin Sang fled all the way back to the ice cave, followed by several ice beasts. He teamed up with Suzaku and fought a fierce battle before they were able to clear them out.

Qin Sang felt that the prospect of this test was not good, but it was also expected. After a short breath, Qin Sang attacked again.

In this way, he rushed into the ice tide again and again, and was chased back by the ice beasts again and again, and almost every time there was a group of pursuers behind him. No matter which direction Qin Sang broke through, the result was the same, as if there was no way out at all.

However, despite repeated failures, Qin Sang did not gain nothing. With the help of the Tianmu Butterfly, he confirmed one thing: these ice beasts would only be born in specific areas.

If the ice tide is layered, ice beasts will be born on the bottom layer. Once you cross this layer, there may be no ice beasts on the second layer.

Although there may be other obstacles there, it is not something Qin Sang can consider now.

How can we get through the group of ice beasts?

Qin Sang persevered, tried again and again, and turned the impossible into possible.

By performing the Thunder Sacrifice Oath, he would definitely be able to pass this first level, but Qin Sang wanted to save more.

A year later, Qin Sang couldn't remember how many times he had tried. This time, he finally looked confident. Suzaku and the Thunder Beast Guards protected Qin Sang on both sides and rushed into the ice tide again.

This time, their route was extremely complicated, as if they were traveling in an invisible maze, with their speed varying from fast to slow.

They passed by one ice beast after another, which looked very thrilling, but the ice beasts turned a blind eye to them. After walking for a long time, they were finally attacked by the first ice beast, and then the second, the third...

More and more ice beasts surrounded and chased him, but Qin Sang remained calm and advanced and retreated in moderation.

Until finally, they were surrounded by a group of ice beasts and could not move forward.

Qin Sang glanced around, his eyes flashed, the number of ice beasts was within his calculations, he immediately sent a message to Suzaku secretly and attacked with all his strength.

‘Crack! ’

'boom! ’

……

There were thunder and lightning in the herd, and flames were everywhere. Finally, a beam of lightning broke through the herd and rushed out.

After so many times, no ice beasts have ever appeared on the second floor. Qin Sang stared at the sky, success or failure depends on this one move!

Seeing that Qin Sang was about to rush into the second floor with a large group of ice beasts, Tianmu Die noticed some unusual signs.

Some white threads suddenly appeared among the broken ice in the second layer of cold wind. It was unknown where these white threads came from, but they kept reflecting among the countless broken ice, forming a net that covered Qin Sang's head. He was now walking into the trap.

'call! call! ’

The ice tide whistled in my ears, and the white threads faintly flashed with unusual light.

These threads were very thin, like strands of lightning, but white lightning was extremely rare. Even as the master of the Five Thunders Academy, Qin Sang was unable to determine what kind of lightning these threads were.

The only thing that is certain is that Qin Sang felt a strong threat from these threads.

Qin Sang rushed to the silk net without hesitation, ready to try out the power of these silk threads himself. He didn't think he could get out right away, and he was ready to take it step by step, spending ten years or even longer.

Getting closer and closer to the wire mesh.

Qin Sang narrowed his eyes slightly and felt the silk screen tremble faintly. The gaps between the silk screens seemed to become slightly smaller, as if the entire silk screen was closing in on him.

At this moment, Qin Sang suddenly heard a muffled sound.

His face was full of surprise, his figure suddenly paused, and he looked down. The muffled sound actually came from deep in the ice.

"Did you hear that?"

Zhuque quickly transmitted the message, apparently it also heard the voice.

"Did something get touched?" Qin Sang and Zhuque were both puzzled.

They had been trapped here for more than three hundred years and had never heard any sound, but something strange happened when they were leaving. It was unlikely to be a coincidence, and they must have accidentally touched something.

"go back!"

Qin Sang was extremely decisive and gave up this opportunity.

Now the road ahead is unclear, and something unexpected has happened behind us. We will be caught in the middle and the outcome is unpredictable. At least we should wait and see before making a decision.

Zhuque had no objection, and they immediately turned around and rushed into the herd of beasts.

……

The ice sheet is endless.

There was heavy snow falling in the sky.

There is only white snow and bottomless ice here. In the center of the ice field, a terrible cold wind rages and never stops.

The cold wind rolled up the surrounding ice and snow, and it was all white. The ice and snow danced in the sky with the cold wind, forming an extremely huge white vortex that could be clearly seen thousands of miles away.

The white vortex has a terrible suction force that swallows everything. No living creature dares to approach the vortex, otherwise it will be torn to pieces and swallowed up in an instant.

At this time, on the ice field around the white vortex, there were some large and small snowpacks, and under the snowpacks, only pairs of eyes were exposed, staring straight at the vortex, as if expecting something. (End of this chapter)
