Chapter 1 Ice Flame Cave
Chapter 01 Ice Flame Cave
The Ice Flame Cave is right behind the Hall of Life and Death.
About twenty meters into the Bingyan Cave is divided into two passages, one is a place to practice to the hinterland of the Houshan Mountain; the other is to lead to prison, which is generally used to detain members of the Nie family who have made mistakes. The length of detention depends on the severity of the mistake.
In the early morning, Nie Kong appeared outside the Bingyan Cave.
Just like the Life and Death Hall in front, the arch of the Ice Flame Cave is also made of dragon stone, but a thick small iron door was opened near the wall of the cave, which could only accommodate two people entering and leaving at the same time. At the entrance of the cave, there was a Nie family guarding it. I heard that he had the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"Clan Card!"
Hearing the footsteps, the spirit-making guard who was sitting quietly closed his eyes and opened his eyes. After taking the clan card handed over by Nie Kong, he was stunned: "Are you Nie Kong?"
"Yes."
Nie Kong nodded with a smile. To this day, almost all the tribe members have heard of the name "Nie Kong", but not many people have seen him. After all, the Nie family is too big. There are tens of thousands of tribe members in Jiyang City alone, and it is impossible for everyone to know each other.
A strange color flashed in the guard's eyes: "The first level of spiritual communication is just enough to enter the minimum standard for entering the Ice Flame Cave. Remember, don't go too deep into the abdomen of the cave. If you feel uncomfortable, exit immediately. Don't be afraid of losing face." Seeing that Nie Kong was a tribe member who had just entered the Ice Flame Cave, the guard kindly reminded him. After that, the guard brushed out his long sleeves, and a "boom" sound knocked on the door like an iron hammer, and the thick iron door creaked open.
"Thank you."
After thanking him, Nie Kong crossed the high threshold.
Every meter above the cave, there is an object called "Moon Heart Stone" inlaid with every meter, which is round and shiny, making this cave about ten wide and three meters high illuminated like daytime. Every moonstone like this can be sold at a sky-high price in the previous life, but in the Tianling Continent, a maximum of ten gold coins is lighting. Nie Kong could only secretly sigh that the jewelry in this world is too valuable.
The iron door then closed, but the air in the hole was very fresh and there was no feeling of stuffiness.
You can see the fork in front of you at a glance. The road leading to the prison on the right is blocked by an iron gate. If there is nothing wrong with the punishment, Nie Fengxing should be locked in at this moment. If conditions permit, Nie Kong would really want to go in and take a walk and see Nie Fengxing's wonderful expression.
After walking along the left passage for about a hundred meters, Nie Kong gradually felt a strange aura, with a slight warmth mixed in the coolness.
This is the most unique part of the Ice Flame Cave.
Deep in the belly of the Nie family's back mountain, there is an extremely open space. Almost every moment, two breaths with completely opposite attributes will appear underground. Over the years, a strange scene in the cave has been formed. The left side is cold like ice and the right side is hot like flame.
In the area near the outside, the two auras are mixed with hot and cold, and there is a particularly rich spiritual power of heaven and earth. It is very suitable for spiritual masters in the spiritual realm to practice. However, the more they go inside, the more obvious the two auras are divided, and deep into the abdomen of the mountain, it is completely incompatible with water and fire. In that area, the psychic master may be burned into ashes by the heat or frozen into popsicles by the shade.
Therefore, those spiritual masters of the Nie family who came here to practice would never rashly break into the depths of the Ice Flame Cave unless they were impatient.
After walking for dozens of meters, Nie Kong's eyes suddenly became clear. The space of dozens of meters long and wide suddenly appeared, and rows of tables and chairs were placed inside. This place was convenient for the Nie family to retreat to breathe and rest when they could not bear the mixed smell of hot and cold.
When they saw Nie Kong's figure appear, dozens of Nie family members who were resting all turned their eyes, with different expressions, either surprised, regretful, jealous, or disdainful. Their ages also vary greatly, including teenagers in their teens, young and middle-aged men in their twenties and thirties, and middle-aged men in their forties. Nie Kong basically has some impression of those teenagers, and they should be all those who entered the fantasy world to train this time.
"Nie Kong? Is he Nie Kong?"
"I heard that he accidentally broke into the second level of the illusion world this time. He didn't come out the night before yesterday and almost died in the illusion world. It's so pitiful."
"Who said no? I have a cousin who has been staying in the Palace of Life and Death some time ago. I heard that this kid broke through to the psychic shortly after entering. Everyone thought that he could break through to the second level after the Great Elder. But he was so lucky that he actually died at the second level of the Illusion Realm when he died. Not only did he get himself half dead, but he was still the first level of the psychic after coming out."
"What a pity, what a pity!"
"Hmph, I've seen it a long time ago. This kid is just a flash in the pan. The Tianling Continent has been around for thousands of years. Are there still few such examples?"
"Go, you little brat go!"
“…”
After leaving Zangfeng Courtyard, Nie Kong took a day off at home and studied the "Muyang True Spiritual Art" by the way. He did not go to Bingyan Cave until this morning.
On the day he was resting, the news that Nie Kong was alive and his performance in the fantasy world almost spread throughout the Nie family. Many people in the tribe sympathized with Nie Kong's "experience". Of course, many people were gloating and secretly happy.
Nie Kong was mentally prepared for this. When he heard the discussion, he only smiled lightly, and walked through the resting place and headed towards the cultivation area in front.
"Huh? Nie Kong?"
A slightly familiar voice sounded. Nie Kong looked back and saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old who had just walked in and waved to him with a smile.
"Nie Qing'an." Nie Kong smiled and said. In short, this unlucky guy was the first person Nie Kong killed in the illusion world and the only one.
Seeing Nie Kong and Nie Qing'an appearing around, the Nie family members were immediately excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. The news that Nie Qing'an was killed by Nie Kong at the last moment had been circulating. What kind of sparks will the two of them have created when they meet?
"Oh, Nie Kong, I have heard about you. Don't be sad. Isn't it just the first level of spiritual communication? With your speed, maybe you will break through to the third level of spiritual communication tomorrow, or even jump to the third level of spiritual communication tomorrow, which is not impossible." Nie Qing'an looked sympathetic, but even a fool could feel the sarcasm in his tone, which shows that he was resentful of what happened that day.
"I'm not sad." Nie Kong smiled, "You are already a ninth psychic rank now, are you?"
"Yes, I'm only the ninth grade of spiritual communication! I originally wanted to try to see if I could break through the two grades and step into Rongling. It's a pity, it's only a little bit, it's only a little bit!" Nie Qingan shook his head and sighed, his expression full of regret, but the slightly raised corners of his lips revealed his complacency.
"It's only a little bit? Then I'll congratulate you in advance. I believe you can achieve the fusion of spirit by practicing casually today, right?" Nie Kong turned around and left.
"Ga?"
Nie Qingan was choked to death by these words, and his face suddenly became extremely embarrassed. He said that it was only a little short, but in fact he knew very well that he could break through to Rongling in three months... no, it would be a burning fragrance if he broke through to Rongling in half a year. Today he broke through to Rongling, what a joke!
"Puff..."
A series of strange laughter sounded around. Those tribes who had already practiced so much that they were full of pain were watched with relish. Nie Qing'an was so sarcastic that he drew his sword and sarcasticated his head. Nie Kong was not surprised. He just inadvertently fought back, which made the other party look dirty. It was so satisfying! It was so satisfying!
It is also a pleasure to see such a good show while practicing. Unfortunately, it is a little short and not very popular. Of course, if it is too popular, it will cause trouble.
More than a hundred years ago, a guy was killed once by his fellow tribe members in the illusion world. After coming out, he held a grudge and killed him completely. As a result, the guy was imprisoned in the prison of the Ice Flame Cave for a total of 60 years. After coming out, he was extremely miserable and shaped like a skeleton. The two tribe members who were present at the scene but could not stop him were also affected by the fish and were imprisoned in the Ice Flame Cave for two years. From then on, even if he was killed in the Ice Flame Cave for tragic world, no one dared to step beyond the line and do something to retaliate against the tribe after coming out.
Hearing the sarcastic sounds around him, Nie Qing'an's face looked like a pig's liver. Seeing that Nie Kong had entered the hole in front, he hurriedly followed him.
