"No… "
Pang Jian was in a trance.
He confirmed again and again, and learned that apart from the frozen land where the Ice Clan lived, there had never been any other broken earth world.
In the past, invaders who flocked into the frozen land either strayed into the strange fog, suffered the pain of being lost and wandering, and accidentally broke into this place.
Or, perhaps they were guided by some force and used a special instrument, a compass, to cross the vast and strange fog.
In short, they did not come from some other piece of broken land adjacent to the frozen land.
The elders of the Ice Clan also said that within the residual consciousness of those who entered, there was no memory of the Broken Earth.
"The forbidden land, the frozen land, and even the broken land of thunder and fire, most likely existed in the strange fog in different areas before. Because according to the seer, the flourishing world that occurs once every 100,000 years was pulled together by some force."
Pang Jian suddenly had an image in his mind.
He also realized that there might be a power that was superior to the gods, influencing or even dominating the strange fog, which caused the four pieces of broken land to be in the same place.
“It’s almost there.”
Bing Ji gradually became excited, pointing at the towering glacier, and said: "Seven elders, we have waited for this day for a long, long time. Guests who have come from afar, please be sure to solve our doubts!"
Gazing at the top of the glacier, Pang Jian's heart was shocked and his eyes fell on the huge ice crystal heart.
As the bird approached, the ice crystal heart gradually enlarged in his field of vision. He felt that the ice crystal heart named "Heart of Winter" was indeed surging with a strong divine consciousness.
The thin cold mist released from the "Heart of Winter" has gradually covered the ice castle on the top of the mountain. He can no longer see the kneeling members of the Ice Clan from a distance.
Only the six huge icicles supporting the sky, the altar surrounded by icicles, and the "Heart of Winter" are bright and dazzling.
“Swish!”
There are slender crystal ice prisms, faintly appearing at the edge of the "Heart of Winter", and cold light flows inside the prisms.
There are also small pieces of crystals, shining with divine light like stars, as if they contain the secret of extreme cold.
Pang Jian tried his best to look, but his eyes could not reach the very core of the "Heart of Winter". He could only see clusters of extremely thick white mist, wrapped in something more complex and mysterious.
"Will the Ice Demon target you?"
He became alert.
He suspected that the soul consciousness of the Ice Demon was still residing in the core of the "Heart of Winter". While absorbing the blood and souls of thousands of alien races, it was also affecting the entire frozen land.
"Queen Bee, what should we do if we are targeted by the Ice Demon?"
Pang Jian communicated quietly.
The Queen Bee responded immediately: "If you cannot confuse Him and make Him believe that you are His believer, then guide His divine consciousness into your sea of consciousness. If His divine consciousness is not strong enough and is within my range, we can erase His will."
"If you are too strong, you and I will die."
Its tone also seemed quite helpless, "Or I am too weak, and the time of awakening is too short, and I have not been able to gain enough divine consciousness. Otherwise, I would not feel tired when facing this thing that only contains His divine consciousness."
Pang Jian said: "Then we can only watch while walking and deal with it carefully."
"Master, there have been changes in the forbidden land, please pay attention." The queen bee reminded.
Pang Jian sent a wisp of his spiritual will onto a golden bee insect, and immediately saw Zhao Yuanqi controlling the wine gourd and flying up from the lake.
Standing above the gourd were Dong Tianze, Qi Qingsong, Zhuang Yuyan, Zhou Qingchen and Zhao Yuanqi.
"Let's go to the Ice Broken Ground. I guess Pang Jian is there."
Zhuang Yuyan looked at everyone and said, "No one knows how many unknown alien races there are in that broken land with icy peaks. I'll ask you one last time, have you really made up your mind?"
If they stay in the forbidden land of Juetian, they will face Fu Wangchen, who they are not sure whether he has been infected by the alien god.
The level eight Ice Armor Eel Dragon retreated into the lake and never reappeared, so it does not pose much threat in the short term.
If they don't leave and stay in this forbidden area, as long as they are careful, they won't die for a while.
However, if you really go to another completely unfamiliar broken land, you don’t know what you will encounter.
"Compared to Fu Wangchen, I trust Pang Jian more."
Qi Qingsong snorted, holding the Blue Dream Sword in front of his chest, and said: "If a conceited guy like Fu Wangchen is infected by the alien gods from the outside world, he will kill everyone in the Juetian Forbidden Land."
"Sister, every day we stay in the forbidden land, there is a risk."
"I've decided to find Pang Jian as soon as possible!"
Qi Qingsong expressed his position.
"I don't have much to think about. Pang Jian said there's something wrong with Fu Wangchen, so there must be something wrong with him!" Zhou Qingchen snorted and blamed, "Senior Sister Zhao, please don't suck me into the gourd without even saying hello in the future!"
"Um."
Zhao Yuanqi responded indifferently.
Dong Tianze, who was the most seriously injured, was still extremely pale after some adjustments. He said, "I have no choice. A divine guard has already set his sights on me. I have no choice but to leave."
"The state of concentration?" Zhuang Yuyan asked seriously.
"I feel so." Dong Tianze nodded.
"No wonder you hurriedly asked me to leave that forest." Zhao Yuanqi looked surprised and frowned, "In that forest?"
"He must be in the forest. I instinctively smelled danger." Dong Tianze lowered his head, his face dark and gloomy. "I lost Black Iron Mountain and was seriously injured. If I don't leave, he will easily kill me and take away my Phoenix Seal."
"You are quite a loyal boy."
Qi Qingsong praised.
"call!"
A golden bee worm suddenly appeared.
It stopped in front of the gourd, looked at the five people on it, and said, "Don't come over yet. The situation in the frozen land is too complicated. The aura on you is not right. If you come, you will be slaughtered by the Ice Clan."
A few people were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked questions.
"Pang Jian, how are you?"
"Ice tribe? What tribe is that?"
Pang Jian told several people truthfully what he saw and heard in the frozen land, and asked Zhao Yuanqi to stop the gourd.
After a pause, he continued, "You stay in the forbidden land of Juetian first, and don't stay with Fu Wangchen. I will see whether to let you come after I figure out the situation in the frozen land."
"Dong Tianze, the casual cultivator in the Condensed Spirit Realm in the forest is named Ling He. He is most likely a Divine Guardian."
Pang Jian explained the matter anxiously.
"Random cultivator Ling He!"
Dong Tianze nodded.
"Remember to stay away from Fu Wangchen, and don't stay with anyone from the Desolate Land. It's best to find a secluded place and wait for my news. Fu Wangchen hasn't lost his spirituality yet, but he's falling bit by bit."
"Anyone who is with him will die unless something unexpected happens. No one can escape."
…
Frozen land.
The top of the holy mountain.
In the center of the castle carved out of ice, there stands a huge altar, with six towering icicles standing beside it.
On the altar, there is an ice crystal ball called "Heart of Winter", shaped like a heart.
Seven old men from the Ice Clan were sitting around the huge ice crystal heart, and had already been shrouded in white mist.
In the square below the altar, in the castle's grandstand, in the open windows.
Thousands of Ice Clan members were kneeling, looking at the ice crystal heart named "Heart of Winter", and praying devoutly.
"call!"
A flying bird carried the two people to the square.
"Ice Halberd!"
A tall Ice Clan warrior, holding a cold iron spear, said coldly: "How dare you bring aliens here!"
Bing Ji said hurriedly: "Lord Bingyun, he has the same faith as us, and he has the aura of the Ice Demon!"
"Ice Demon?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the seven Ice Clan elders who were sitting quietly on the altar opened their eyes almost at the same time.
All the cold and lightning-like gazes fell on Pang Jian, making him feel as if there were thorns in his back and he felt extremely uncomfortable all over.
"Same faith, but also possesses the aura of the Ice Demon!"
An old man from the Ice Clan with white hair and the smallest stature suddenly stood up.
His cloudy eyes gradually became clear and bright, and he suddenly said, "Come up!"
Pang Jian looked at him at a loss.
"If you can withstand the power flowing from the Heart of Winter, you will be recognized by the Ice Demon."
"Otherwise..."
He sneered, pointed to the nearby mountains and rivers where the corpses of foreign races were buried, and said, "They will be your fate!"
Cold gazes were cast from all directions of the castle and all fell on Pang Jian.
Feeling the momentum of the seven Ice Clan elders and the cold eyes of many Ice Clan warriors, Pang Jian had a headache.
He knew that if he could not withstand the extremely cold power emanating from the "Heart of Winter", he would have to face the wrath of the entire Ice Clan.
"Wealth and honor are sought in danger. Whether you can steal the divine consciousness in the Heart of Winter depends on whether you can pass the test."
He told the queen bee not to act rashly, and also asked her to be careful to restrain her breath and not to expose herself.
Soon, he landed on the familiar altar under the escort of the Ice Spear Bird.
He had seen similar altars for communicating with ice demons in the palace below Bingyan City and in the spiritual prayer land of Xuanyou Continent.
But the two altars before were all broken and appeared relatively small.
This altar is located on the top of the holy mountain, in the square of the Ice Castle. The six towering ice pillars do not have a single crack and the altar remains intact.
"Perhaps, I can really communicate with the Ice Demon."
Pang Jian landed on the altar and, imitating the elders of the Ice Clan, sat down cross-legged.
He focused his attention on the ice pool in the Spirit Sea, just like he did under the Ice Rock City that year, trying to feel the cold power within the altar.
He dared not close his eyes...
He still clearly remembered that when he saw the broken altar in the place of prayer, he felt the chill that went straight to his soul as soon as he closed his eyes.
It was as if in an instant, I was in another dark, cold and silent world.
He opened his eyes and stared at the "Heart of Winter" which was so close to him, looking at the ice crystals and ridges.
“Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!”
In the faint cold mist, the extremely cold power naturally flowed into his spiritual sea and merged into the small ice pool.
His ice pool began to grow slowly!
The cold hostility in the eyes of the old man from the Ice Clan, who had seven bloodlines that had reached level six, equivalent to the human race's cultivators in the Concentration Realm, suddenly disappeared.
“It’s actually true!”
