Chapter 782

"The rules of the Frost Road are very simple. You just need to cross the white line and walk forward. You pass the test if you cross ten kilometers." Before the mansion spirit finished speaking, Gu Ding saw a white scratch on the ice not far from the stone monument.

"During the test, you are not allowed to use any tools to assist you, nor are you allowed to use any kind of Dharmakaya. For this test, you pass ten kilometers. You will be rewarded if you cross ten kilometers. The more you cross, the better the reward. "The mansion spirit obviously knew that Gu Ding had the White Jade Emperor's Body, so it added.

"Do I have to walk? Can I use body movement? "Gu Ding could not help asking.

"Body movement is not prohibited, but I advise you not to use it. Your friend was frozen because he rushed into this area at high speed. By the time he realized he was frozen, it was too late to retreat. Of course, he entered the frozen area when he was not in the test, so even if he crossed ten kilometers, it would not be considered as a test result. It would be considered an illegal invasion. "The mansion spirit's words shocked Gu Ding.

"Senior, can you tell me how many stages I need to pass before I can leave with my partner? There are only three days left before the secret realm closes. If I pass all the tests and the secret realm closes, will you still be able to send us out? "

Gu Ding's biggest worry was not being able to make the deadline for the secret realm to close.

"Generally speaking, this secret realm is only open for a month. However, you've triggered the Iceflame Mansion. Before someone completes the test, the secret realm will not close. To be precise, as long as there are living things in this space, the secret realm will not close. If someone else enters before you leave, then the secret realm will remain open until the last examinee leaves or dies. "

The mansion spirit's answer relieved Gu Ding's biggest worry.

"Then let's start the test now!" Gu Ding slowly landed on the island and walked up to the white scratch. After taking a deep breath, he took a step forward.

Gu Ding felt a bone-piercing chill as soon as he took his first step. However, he knew that this level of chill was not enough to hurt him. He strode forward with determination.

The first kilometer of the journey was completed quickly. Gu Ding was a little surprised. "That's it?"

However, as soon as he took his first step out of the first kilometer, he realized that things were not that simple.

The surrounding temperature dropped again, becoming several times colder than before.

"The temperature in this area has dropped?!" Gu Ding was shocked.

However, he soon realized that with the strength of his physical body, he could still easily resist this level of cold. He continued walking forward.

The second kilometer was soon completed, and Gu Ding finally entered the third kilometer.

This time, the temperature dropped again. Gu Ding instantly understood.

"It seems that for every kilometer we cross, the temperature will drop once. When we reach ten kilometers, the temperature will drop ten times. No wonder they asked us to walk ten kilometers … "

Sure enough, the temperature dropped with every kilometer Gu Ding completed. He also felt that the bone-chilling cold was getting more and more dangerous.

Although he understood the rules of the assessment, Gu Ding did not dare to be careless. It took him an hour and a half to finish the ten kilometers.

The moment Gu Ding stepped out of the ten-kilometer range, the mansion spirit's voice rang out again.

"Congratulations, you've passed the first test. Are you going to end the test here or continue? If you continue, I'll give you more generous rewards based on the distance you've covered. Also, if you can't take it anymore, you can stop the test at any time. "

"I choose to continue!" Gu Ding also realized that the current cold was far from his limit, and he also wanted to know how far he could go.

"Alright, then let's continue the test." The mansion spirit seemed to have some expectations for Gu Ding.

Gu Ding continued walking. Now that he had passed the test and was no longer stressed, he walked much more easily, and his speed was also slightly faster than before.

Eleven kilometers, twelve kilometers, thirteen kilometers, all the way to fourteen kilometers before Gu Ding began to feel the strain.

His body gradually began to be affected by the cold and became a little sluggish. Even the surface of his body began to condense into frost. However, the frost quickly dissipated under the wash of his Vitality.

At this point, Gu Ding also knew that fourteen kilometers should be his limit. If he entered the fifteen-kilometer range, he was likely to be frozen.

"My physical strength is at the level of a fourth-rank True God. If I continue to improve to the level of a sixth-rank True God, my Vitality strength will be greatly improved, and my ability to resist the cold will also be greatly improved. When that time comes, I'll definitely be able to go further."

Thinking of this, Gu Ding immediately raised his head and asked, "Senior, although you mentioned before that I'm not allowed to use external objects. However, if I stay where I am and cultivate with the help of the animal bone, it shouldn't be against the rules, right? "

"It's not against the rules because you're not relying on external objects to support you forward." The mansion spirit immediately agreed because the purpose of the test was to test how strong a person's potential was. The examinee's impromptu improvement was also considered part of his potential.

After getting the mansion spirit's approval, Gu Ding immediately sat down cross-legged and activated the Devouring Heaven and Earth divine power to devour the animal bone in the Storage Space.

A huge amount of Vitality energy quickly rushed into Gu Ding's body again. Earlier in the volcano, Gu Ding's Nirvana Immortal Body had completed the second level of the Vitality route structure, allowing his physical strength to reach the level of a fourth-rank True God. Now, he only needed to replenish enough Vitality energy to upgrade his physical strength to the level of a sixth-rank True God.

Gu Ding's devouring lasted for two days, and his basic physical strength finally increased from the fourth-rank to the peak of a sixth-rank True God. If he wanted to improve further, he would need to find a third type of extreme five-element item. There was no hope for that in the short term.

After completing the upgrade of his physical body, Gu Ding stood up and shouted into the air, "Senior, we can continue!"

He took another step forward.

After crossing the fourteen-kilometer limit, the temperature dropped again, but it did not affect Gu Ding much now. He quickly crossed the fifteen-kilometer limit.

After crossing the fifteen-kilometer limit, the power of the chill increased again. Gu Ding's steps forward began to be hindered again, and frost began to form on the surface of his body again.

"Based on the current situation, I'm afraid sixteen kilometers is my limit. Once I cross the sixteen-kilometer limit, the power of the chill will increase again, and I won't be able to stop it. "Gu Ding had a clear estimate of his strength.

Gu Ding walked forward step by step. Although his pace was slow, it was firm.

Gu Ding walked for a full twenty minutes to cross the one-kilometer distance. When he reached the sixteen-kilometer limit, he stopped in his tracks.

"Senior, I'll stop here. I think my body won't be able to take it if I go any further." Gu Ding panted heavily. He could feel the Vitality energy in his body being depleted rapidly.

"Very good! The result of the first assessment is sixteen kilometers. Assessment result: excellent! "In the void, the mansion spirit's voice sounded very happy.
