Nangong Shi jumped down, followed the veins of Bing Jing's heart and only stopped after reaching the bottom.
"Who exactly set this up? With such a large scale, even with my current strength, I'm afraid that it would be difficult for me to lay down such a fine formation. Also, what is the purpose of this person setting up this formation? " Nangong Shi muttered to himself, then stared at the array patterns in front of him.
He saw many fiery red lines on the veins of the Icecap Heart Meridian, extremely dazzling. The fire Yuan Power that it emitted was also extremely terrifying. Feeling the high temperature, Nangong Shi reached out with his left hand and tried to touch it.
Buzz.
Just as Nangong Shi's left hand made contact with the runes, they trembled and then appeared. As for the fire elemental energy in his pure ice heart, it was as though it had touched upon a territory, and it frantically rushed towards Nangong Shi. Seeing that, Nangong Shi immediately retracted his hand. However, there was still a trace of fire elemental energy wrapped around the finger of his left hand.
Hm?
Nangong Shi frowned slightly as this fire attribute energy penetrated his fingers and entered his body. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it extended from the middle finger to the arm.
Just as Nangong Shi was about to use his spirit energy to force him out, a loud sound came out from his left arm. Then, Nangong Shi sensed that the strand of Fire Qi had already disappeared.
It was the skeleton!
Nangong Shi sensed carefully and immediately realised that the skeleton that he had acquired was now perfectly compatible with his own body, and the strand of fire elemental energy was also absorbed by the skeleton. Moreover, it seemed that his left hand was strengthened.
It was a pity that he hadn't been able to watch it properly. Could it be that this skeleton could absorb the fire qi? Nangong Shi thought about it carefully. Although he did not understand much about fire elemental energy, he had tried to probe and was unable to discover any danger. He could also feel the obvious increase in strength of his left hand, and he immediately became restless.
"Let me see how strong this skeleton really is!"
Nangong Shi muttered to himself for a moment and immediately placed his left hand on the array pattern.
Weng! *
After Nangong Shi's palm had slapped the formation pattern, the seal of the Icy Heart Meridian immediately started to shake violently. Following that, waves after waves of fire essence Qi, like a stampede of ten thousand beasts, crazily rushed towards Nangong Shi's left hand.
Seeing that, Nangong Shi's eyes did not reveal any sign of cowardice, he slowly closed his eyes and started examining the inside. At this moment, Nangong Shi finally saw the power of the bone he had obtained.
After the fierce fire Yuan Qi entered his palm, the moment it reached his wrist, it became as calm as a mouse meeting a cat. Shortly after, the skeleton on top of his wrist released a golden light and a powerful suction force sucked in all of the fire energy.
So powerful!
As he absorbed the fire elemental energy, Nangong Shi immediately felt a strong power coming from his left hand. This power was so strong that Nangong Shi was intoxicated by it. Immediately after, Nangong Shi slowly opened his eyes, the countless fire elemental Qi had actually swallowed his entire body. Behind him, the fire qi was still coming.
He hoped that Bing Zhu would be able to persevere on. Seeing that, Nangong Shi immediately knew that it would take some time before he could digest the fire essence. If Bing Zhu could not hold on, her life would be in danger. After all, the fire attribute energy here was extremely effective in restraining and restraining Bing Zhu's existence.
Regardless, it was better to focus on the situation at hand. Nangong Shi thought for a while, then sat down and slowly closed his eyes.
At the same time, Bing Zhu who was on top of the ice layer was anxiously looking at the ice cave. She didn't know if he would be able to hold on. Bing Zhu thought in her heart, and then she started to circulate the spirit energy in her body to replenish the surrounding protective barriers.
Although the fire elemental energy here was naturally able to restrain the Ice and Snow clan, the temperature here was also extremely high. But fortunately, Nangong Shi had set up a barrier around him before he left, and Bing Zhu herself was an expert of the Divine Stage of Immortal Grade. She practiced the ice attribute cultivation technique again, and in this short period of time, she wasn't worried at all.
Hm? What had happened? Could it be that he noticed something? Bing Zhu who was anxiously waiting, suddenly saw the fire Qi in Bing Jie's heart meridian, it was actually rushing downwards in an unending stream, and immediately started to guess.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Bing Zhu's gaze at the ice cave also did not shift away. Perhaps it was because the fire attribute energy was flowing downwards, but Bing Zhu faintly felt that the temperature of the place seemed to have dropped by quite a bit compared to when she first arrived here.
Inside the hall of the ice palace, the two old men were also staring at the hidden staircase. Behind the two old scholars stood quite a few white-clothed men and women. A few of the elders standing at the front had extremely powerful auras as well. Their auras were close to the auras of the two old men.
"It's been three days, but there's still no sign of movement."
Finally, an old man couldn't help but ask, and the silence in the hall was immediately broken.
"Yeah, could something have happened?" You must know that Master Bing Zhu is also down there. "
"How about we go down and take a look together? Maybe we can help out a bit."
"I agree. Although that person's physical body was strong, his strength was only at the eighth stage of the Spirit Stage of Common Grade. Furthermore, Master Bing Zhu is also down there, nothing unexpected must happen. "
As the old man spoke, everyone in the hall started to discuss amongst themselves.
"All of you, shut up. Even I and Bing Qian were unable to withstand the temperature that was below us. What's the point of you going down there? Could it be that your cultivations are higher than Bing Qian and I? " An old scholar himself was extremely uneasy. After hearing the discussions of the crowd, he became even angrier and immediately began to berate loudly.
Following the old scholar's anger, everyone in the hall lowered their heads. If it was as this old scholar had said, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help much.
"Bingying, don't worry. I think everyone meant well. No one wanted anything to happen to Master Bing Zhu. However, just as Ice Shadow said, the high temperature below, even she and I are unable to withstand it. So, let's just wait patiently again. " Another elder said.
"We were too impatient." When the few elders heard this, they immediately said in unison. Following the gazes of these two old men, they once again looked towards the entrance of the hidden staircase.
At that moment, Nangong Shi who was at the bottom of the heart meridian, suddenly opened his eyes. Then the tiger's body shook and the surrounding fire energy was pushed away from its body. After which, he glanced at the indistinct runes on the formation and smiled faintly.
"I never would have thought that the formation laid here is actually meant to refine the Icesnow Heart Meridian. What a grand deed."
