991 Icebound Thousand Miles (1/2)

Martial artists who comprehended fire attribute dao patterns wouldn't be burned to death; those who comprehended water attribute dao pattern wouldn't be drowned to death. Similarly, those who comprehended the icy snow dao pattern wouldn't be afraid of cold, and this cold air would be naturally neutralized. If Jiang Yi wasn't afraid of this cold air, he would be able to use the soul swords in his soul spirit sea to destroy the bizarre energy that gushed into his soul spirit sea!

It was 15 minutes of life and death. Jiang Yi had completely ignored the outside situation and didn't bother about the attacks in his soul spirit, too. He had forgotten everything and forced himself to immerse in the cold air that had enveloped his entire body.

Gradually, he had unknowingly entered the Union of Heaven and Man state. He felt as though he had become a small fish in the Ice Sea and was surrounded by boundless ice mountains and chilling snow. He felt extremely cold, and he felt as though he was forsaken by the world.

Cold!

This was a kind of very ordinary sensation. It was one of the few simplest senses that belong to a human.

Cold, hot, pain… itch.

When the temperature was low, it would naturally be cold. When it was too cold, life wouldn't be able to continue sustaining. The cold was the natural enemy of life, and in order to resist the cold, humans would wear thick clothing, warm themselves by the fire, and many other ways.

”Could the icy snow dao pattern be the dao of the cold? The question is what kind of sensation was the cold? How am I going to feel this dao of the cold?”

Jiang Yi was thinking with the speed that was 100 times faster than normal. He was carefully sensing the cold that came from the chilling air through his body and soul spirit while putting in his full concentration to comprehend, deduce, and verify. He repeatedly denied, deduced, and overthrew his ideas.

As time ticked by, the dust that floated in the air had already settled down, all the shards of rocks of the mountain that Jiang Yi had also stopped rolling and sliding down. Jiang Yi's entire body had been buried by the shattered rocks, and his entire body was frozen like a corpse of ice. His body was still profusely bleeding but were all solidified by the chilling air. His breathing had gotten extremely frail, and his soul spirit was constantly getting attacked until the brink of collapse.

”What a waste of a prodigy!”

Fifth Eldress let out a slight sigh and knitted her brows. At this moment, she was asking herself if she was overly emotionless. She had forcefully destroyed a generational prodigy. Jiang Yi was only 23 years old now, and if he managed to survive until her age, he would definitely crush her effortlessly!

That was wrong!

At the Stupa Mountain, Jiang Yi had incinerated five Demigods. She was only a Five-Star expert, and although she was half a foot into the Demigod Realm—if Jiang Yi had attacked her, she should be killed easily.

Fifth Eldress didn't know that Jiang Yi couldn't activate the Smelting Divine Furnace anymore, and she thought that Jiang Yi was doing this for the sake of Su Ruoxue. He didn't hesitate to use his life as a price, and he didn't hesitate to be destroyed by her. When thinking about this, her heart had felt even more discomfort.

She was indeed already 40 years of age and had been alone for her life. The Heaven Hidden Sect didn't have any woman that was married, and if anyone dared to fall in love or gotten into an illicit sexual relationship with a man, they would be executed if discovered. This was the sect rule.

Hence, Fifth Eldress had never tasted the feeling of 'being loved' and 'loving someone'. It was also because of this that she was moved by Jiang Yi's infatuation. If anyone else dared to say they were going to destroy the Heaven Hidden Sect, she would have sent a message into the sect; and a group of Demigods would immediately emerge to kill that person!

”Sigh, this is fate. Jiang Yi… apologies!”

Fifth Eldress ultimately didn't help Jiang Yi. She withdrew her divine senses and prepared to teleport back to the Heaven Hidden Sect. Everyone had their own fate, and didn't she have her own fate, too? After entering the Heaven Hidden Sect, she was destined to live a lifetime in solitary.

”Activate the teleportation array!”

Fifteen minutes was up. Jiang Yi's soul spirit was about to crumble, and he had stopped breathing, too. In the Fifth Eldress' opinion, Jiang Yi was definitely going to die. Heaven Monarchs who got struck by her dao pattern would certainly die. Jiang Yi might have some unusual abilities and treasures, but his essence force realm was only at the fourth stage of Heaven Monarch Realm. This was an unchangeable fact.

Chi! Chi!

As the teleportation array gradually lit up, Fifth Eldress closed her eyes and let out another sigh, revealing a trace of guilt on her face.

Just at this moment—!
