To risk one's life was just a feint, Lin Qi never expected to injure Gong Liu significantly. The main purpose was still to distract Gong Liu and take the opportunity to run into the Inheritance Palace for shelter.

Only when Lin Qi entered the palace did she realize that there was nothing around her, not even a single thing to conceal her figure.

There are countless passages that crisscross and connect throughout.

Unlike the Six Gods Cave Passage, the Transmission Hall Passage is very wide and bright, not at all like it's hiding any danger.

Behind her, the six palace attendants chased after her like a pack of mad dogs. Lin Qi didn't have time to think too much, so she randomly found a palace and darted inside.

As soon as I stepped into the passage, the surroundings instantly changed. The space expanded countless times, and blinding white light filled my vision.

The road ahead seemed to be paved with broken ice, glittering in the white light and emitting a dazzling glow.

At the end of the road, a slumbering ice phoenix lay prostrate. Even from afar, it exuded an awe-inspiring pressure.

Lin Qi stared intently and only then did she see that the ground wasn't covered in shards of ice, but in a layer of Phoenix Crystals.

Huangjing is a treasure produced abundantly by the Binghuang clan. It contains rich and potent ice essence power, which is extremely beneficial for the cultivation of the Binghuang clan.

This item is extremely rare.

After Lin Qi broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he had considered looking for Phoenix Crystals to cultivate. He had searched countless regions, but found nothing. Unexpectedly, he saw so many here in the Ice Phoenix Clan's ancestral hall.

Once again, I am amazed by the profound heritage of the Bing Huang clan.

Lin Qi gritted her teeth and took a step forward. The surging cold air rushed into Lin Qi's body like a tide.

Lin Qi's expression remained unchanged as he frantically manipulated his nascent soul to cultivate, beginning to devour and digest this chilling qi.

The deeper you go, the denser the surging cold becomes.

By the third step, Lin Qi's eyebrows were dusted with a layer of frost.

By the tenth step, my limbs felt stiff and as though they weren't my own.

Lin Qi took a deep breath and intentionally cultivated the Bing Huang Shen Jue, rapidly consuming the surging icy spiritual energy within the Phoenix Crystal.

As I took the tenth step, the ice phoenix slumbering before me seemed to stir. With a turn of its body, it unleashed a frigid blizzard.

Lin Qi widened her eyes and, without hesitation, drew her sword and thrust it into the ground, using both hands to grip the hilt and defend against the hurricane.

After a moment, the hurricane dissipated, leaving behind only an ice sculpture of a sword-wielding figure.

It was eerily quiet all around.

After a moment more, the ice on the ice sculpture crackled and let out a sharp *snap*, shattering into pieces all at once.

Lin Qi consumed a Fire God's Soul, barely expelling the chilling aura from her body.

Lifting her gaze, she was startled to realize that the ice phoenix before her had undergone a change.

Before, the Ice Phoenix was indistinguishable from an ordinary Frost one, it just possessed a stronger aura of pressure.

But at this moment, the ice phoenix's body had doubled in size. Its ice-blue feathers were now mixed with a good amount of purple feathers, making it look even more imposing and emanating a hint of majesty.

The current Ice Phoenix is still asleep, and its breath creates a giant hurricane when it breathes.

Lin Qi's face twitched, gritting her teeth and continuing forward.

The deeper Lin Qi went, the slower his pace became. His body was increasingly eroded by the cold air.

By the time she gritted her teeth and walked twenty steps, the ground trembled. A chill surged up like a monstrous wave.

Lin Qi narrowly avoided being knocked over, barely managing to stay upright with the support of her Emperor Phoenix Sword. However, she wasn't doing much better; her entire body had been frozen into an ice sculpture once again.

This time, Lin Qi spent half a day melting the ice sculpture on her body, thoroughly absorbing the cold energy brought by the Phoenix Crystal.

Although the cold was biting, the spiritual energy was extremely rich. In just a short time, Lin Qi felt her meridians were cleansed and her internal spiritual energy was nearly full.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a cultivation tool for the Ice Phoenix clan.

Looking up again, the ice phoenix before him seemed to have changed its appearance.

This time, the Ice Phoenix's body has grown several times larger, almost as tall as a whole palace. Its massive form lay lazily upon the throne.

Around her, phoenix feathers were interwoven with icy blue and dark purple, appearing solemn and imposing. Three points of crimson graced between her brows, vivid and striking, like the adornment of an emperor's crown.

A pair of narrow and sharp phoenix eyes slowly opened, their aura as imposing as a towering mountain range.

Heavy and solemn, like an ancient emperor, slowly opened his eyes.

Under immense pressure, Lin Qi dared not even look up.

Looking at the road so close at hand, Lin Qi was overwhelmed by the imposing presence and couldn't even muster the courage to take a step forward.

Is this absolute pressure

Realizing this, Lin Qi's unwillingness and rebellion surged within her. She gritted her teeth, raised her foot, and with a forceful step, she defied the pressure and took a step forward.

My heart felt like it was being crushed by this overwhelming pressure, as if it were about to explode.

But in that moment of landing, Lin Qi only felt exhilarated and proud of himself for overcoming another hurdle.

Subconsciously, she had already guessed that this road was the inheritance assessment of the palace.

Although she didn't know what the assessment was for or what the results would decide, Lin Qi only knew that moving forward was never wrong.

As he took that step, a figure suddenly materialized out of the void.

The figure was blurry and indistinct, but one could see a hand holding a long sword, wielding it with agile grace.

At a single glance, Lin Qi recognized that it was performing the first move of the Frost God Technique — Residual Phoenix Chaotic Shadows.

The figure finished their move, brandishing a sword that pointed skyward. Its tip pierced the five imposing ice phoenix phantoms.

Five phantom ice phoenixes flit and weave in the air, finally merging into one complete ice phoenix phantom. It spreads its wings and strikes straight at the heavens.

Like a sharp sword, it possesses the power to destroy the heavens.

After the phantom finished his sword techniques, he vanished.

Lin Qi didn't rush to cast her sword technique, but stopped in place, pondering. Her mind repeatedly replayed the sword technique the figure had just performed.

After twenty years of cultivating the Bing Huang Shen Jue, this was Lin Qi's first time seeing someone other than himself use the same move.

Before, she used to practice alone in seclusion. Even if something was wrong or not done well enough, it was difficult to notice. She could only adjust through countless battles.

But the distance to true perfection is always a little bit away.

Today I saw the phantom cast the Ice Phoenix Remnant, the same move, in its hands was a perfect one, flowing like water, without the slightest stagnation, as if this move was created by it.

Lin Qi's years of confusion and bewilderment all surfaced in an instant, then became clearer with continuous recollection.

Time passed by every second, Lin Qi was still immersed in the world of disassembling and comprehending.

Unable to locate the primordial infant's dwelling, the little man became increasingly focused. His hands moved nimbly, forming intricate hand gestures as he absorbed the spiritual energy emanating from the phoenix crystal at an ever-increasing rate, like a gluttonous mythical beast reborn.

Even her cultivation level was unknowingly rising bit by bit.

A vortex of spiritual energy even formed around his body.

Lin Qi's eyes were still closed, but his hand holding the sword had already begun to move involuntarily, repeatedly practicing sword moves as if against a phantom.

After nearly three hours, Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and his aura instantly soared, with a sharp glint in his eyes.

She was like a cold sword, piercing through a thousand-year-old snow peak, revealing her jagged grandeur.k the opportunity to ask her some questions.Recently, there's a training mission in the northwest region.
