Chapter 431 Prelude
The location of the Beihai Ice Palace is very secret. Except for the core members of the Beihai Ice Palace, other idle people are not allowed to enter. For thousands of years, although many immortals have yearned for it and seen its true face, they have never been seen.
This time, the ice blue sky invited the world's immortals to gather in the North Sea Ice Palace in the name of its 80th birthday. No one knows what is hidden in it.
In a blink of an eye, Xia Houtian has stayed on the Arctic Island for dozens of days. Gradually, the immortals on the island flourished, and the streets were crowded and lively.
"Huh? Brother, why didn't you hang out with your sister-in-law today?
Huang De, who was busy with meditation and practice, walked out of the door at noon and saw Xia Houtian standing in the courtyard, as if he were enjoying something.
A familiar voice came. Xia Houtian naturally knew who it was and said without looking back, "My little sister called her out early in the morning and said she wanted to travel together."
Thinking of Lan Xin, Xia Houtian couldn't help shaking his head. His little sister was lively and active by nature. She was an idle master. For dozens of days, she actually walked through most of the Arctic Island, but rarely stayed in the courtyard to practice.
"Ha ha, the little sister is so kind of nature. Since her mother's death, she hasn't been like this for a long time. Isn't it good?" Huang De thought for a moment and said.
"En, second brother, the matter of cultivating immortals, the so-called hurry is not enough. You should know how to stop it!" Xia Houtian said meaningfully.
Huang Dehe didn't understand this, but when he thought that among the brothers, only he had the lowest cultivation, his competitive heart never stopped beating for a moment, urging him and did not dare to relax.
"Brother, as you know, among the people, my qualifications are the weakest. Seeing that all the brothers are striding forward, how can I calm down? If I don't work hard, I'm afraid everyone will be stunned!" Huang De told Xia Houtian what was in his heart. It seemed that for a moment, his whole heart was much more relaxed and he suddenly felt refreshed.
Xia Houtian doesn't know how to count Huang De's best among the people. Unfortunately, sometimes, hard work is not enough to change anything. This is especially true for immortal cultivation. Excessive cultivation will only be counterproductive.
Recently, Xia Houtian has only meditated and practiced in his spare time every day, but it has never been more than two hours. In his realm, the accumulation of Zhenyuan is no longer relevant. On the contrary, the sublimation of the realm is like watching flowers in the fog, and the fog is heavy!
Fortunately, Xia Houtian has a peaceful heart. At his age, how many people can get Yuanying, and who can be proud of the sky.
Looking around the whole Middle-earth, or the overseas islands, Xia Houtian is probably the first immortal to achieve the momentum of Yuanying at the age of a weak crown in thousands of years.
"Second brother, I don't know something. Can I answer one or two for my eldest brother?" Xia Houtian didn't want Huang De to be too entangled in this, so he changed the topic.
"Brother, please say it, my words are endless!" Huang Dedao.
"Yes, you practiced alone at the beginning, and it took you several years to finally become a golden elixir. I don't know what kind of adventure?"
"Ha ha, I really can't hide anything, big brother. In fact, I went to the Underworld!" With that, there was a little melancholy in Huang De's eyes, as if he remembered something.
"What? The underworld?"
Xia Houtian was shocked. The rumors of the Underworld are widely spread in overseas archipelagos, but no one dares to go deep, because it is a forbidden place in the eyes of immortals. Anyone who enters the Underworld will lose their cultivation for no reason and become a mortal. Any danger is possible for immortals to die, only above the elixir period. Only those who cultivate immortals can cross out with the ability of the body.
"Ha ha, the eldest brother doesn't know anything. In fact, I also entered by mistake. That's the case. I just met her. Unfortunately, I still don't know who she is." Huang De explained.
"Why on earth, can you explain it in detail?" Xia Houtian said curiously.
"In fact, it's nothing. At that time, I chased the remnants of a blood cultivation force. I accidentally strayed into the underworld and was trapped on an island. I thought I would be trapped there for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to ask for a beautiful song. How to describe it? The voice seemed to be a call from the bottom of my heart, attracting me to pursue it." Huang De looked at the sky and gave a detailed lecture.
Next, Xia Houtian, like a loyal listener, appreciated this beautiful and true story and understood why Huang De never mentioned it after he came back.
"Second brother, everything is born and restrains each other. There is a fixed number. The fate has not come yet. Don't push too much." After hearing this, Xia Houtian patted Huang De on the shoulder and said.
"Ha ha, big brother, I understand that maybe it's really predestined. At the moment when I succeeded, I could no longer feel her breath, but I knew that she was not far away, quietly looking at me." A trace of tears appeared in Huang De's eyes, as if looking back and regretful.
"Oh, second brother, although I don't know who she is, I think she doesn't want you to see her. Maybe she also has something difficult to say."
"I'm fine, big brother, let this beautiful memory stay in my heart forever." Huang De was determined.
"Let's go. Don't think about it. Go into the house. You and my brother haven't talked for a long time." Xia Houtian said with a smile.
"Haha, big brother, dare not obey!" Huang De responded.
Then, Xia Houtian and Huang De talked until late at night, and did not give up until Lan Xin and others returned.
After this incident, the depression in Huang De's heart seemed to follow, and his long-moving cultivation also strode forward with the sublimation of his mood, and smoothly stepped into the later period of Jiedan.
Behind every immortals, there is a dusty past. While the witnesses move forward bravely, they also make them firmly remember the bits and pieces that have happened.
Cultivation of immortals is lonely, and cultivation of immortals is selfish, but Xia Houtian is happy, because he has a group of brothers who live and die together and a group of sincere friends.
Time flies, and time finally came to the day of going to the Beihai Ice Palace. The figure of the ice soul also appeared again. Xia Houtian knew that his plan had succeeded.
"Xiahou Daoyou, this is the elixis on your list. The quantity is not small. Please check it." The ice soul said and handed the light yellow storage bag that had been edged with gold silk to Xia Houtian.
Xia Houtian didn't see it, so he gave the jade bottle containing the Yuanpo elixir to the ice soul and said casually, "I don't worry about the elder of the ice soul!"
"Okay, Xiahou's Taoist friend is worthy of being the elder of the Qingyun School. You are a friend, my ice soul is determined!"
With such a large number of rare elixirs, Xia Houtian is so relieved. This trust makes Binghun very happy.
"Ha ha, I don't know if I can ask, who continues this Dan like this?" Xia Houtian knew that this was related to the Ice Palace in the North Sea. The Ice Soul did not necessarily say it, but just curiosity.
The ice soul was stunned at first, then thought for a moment, and then hesitated and said, "In fact, it's not a big deal. To be honest, Taoist friends should have heard that there is a daughter under my palace master's lap, right?"
"Yes, I have heard that there has been a rumor for a long time. It seems that the owner of your palace wants to take this opportunity to recruit a double monk for him, but I don't know if it's true?" Xia Houtian guessed.
"Ha ha, sometimes, sometimes, rumors are not fake, but because of this matter, there was a mistake when the young master practiced. Although there are many elixirs in my Beihai Ice Palace, there are many elixirs. The effect of Yuanpo elixir is moderate and peaceful, and it has the effect of nourishing qi, which is very useful." The ice soul told the truth.
Hearing that Bingying had something to do, a trace of worry flashed in Xia Houtian's eyes. Fortunately, it was well covered, and the ice soul did not notice anything.
"Oh? With the power of the North Sea Ice Palace, do you still need this?"
The ice soul naturally understood what Xia Houtian was asking, and said helplessly, "Well, the young master's heart belongs to him, and he didn't mean the decision of the palace master. The palace owner had no choice but to make this bad idea. It seems to be a promise ten years ago. As for the specific situation, the young master and the palace owner are silent, and we are not very clear."
As a person in the bureau, Xia Houtian naturally knew what this meant, so he stopped entanglement and asked, "Dare to ask the Elder Ice Soul, I don't know when to go to the Beihai Ice Palace?"
"The transmission array has been set up. Dozens of Taoist friends can be transmitted at a time, half an hour apart, and they can go tomorrow. Taoist friends don't have to worry." The ice soul said.
"Haha, the experience of Beihai Ice Palace is not known to outsiders. This time it's just an eye-opener!" Xia Houtian praised.
People like to listen to good words, and immortals are not included. What's more, Xia Houtian is a person valued by the ice soul, especially so.
"In that case, the ice soul said goodbye, Xiahou Taoist friend, goodbye to Beihai Ice Palace!" The first way of the ice soul.
"No delivery!" Xia Houtian replied.
Just as the ice soul was about to walk out of the door, he suddenly turned around, as if he remembered something, staring at Xiahou Tian up and down, and his eyes were full of brilliance.
"Ice Soul Taoist friend, but there's something else. Why does it look like this?" Xia Houtian asked.
"Ha ha, if you are interested, you might as well give it a try. I think that Xiahou Taoist friends are the best choice regardless of their status or strength. The young master and the palace master should be satisfied!" After the ice soul finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Xia Houtian to answer.
In such a big room, there was only Xia Houtian left. He bowed his head and meditated, and a shadow appeared in his mind, which was vague and clear. He muttered, "Ice girl, how are you doing? Don't worry, this time, no one will be able to separate us, no!"
Xia Houtian unconsciously clenched his fist and subconsciously hit forward. A sound of breaking through the air came, and the door cracked in response.
"Ice Blue Sky, I don't know if you will be surprised when you see me again. The teenager who praised Haikou in front of you ten years ago finally came back today. The invisible sword - Xue Pan, let you become the witness of my marriage to Bing Ying!" Xia Houtian's eyes were full of fierce light, as if he were a angry dragon who chose someone to eat, waiting quietly.
On the west side of the Arctic Island, in a courtyard, Xue Pan was meditating in the room. An unexplained gust of cloudy wind blew by, and he couldn't help but feel cold and slowly recovered.
"Strange, what's wrong with me?" Xue Pan was very confused.
According to reason, with his cultivation in the later stage of Jiedan, he would not feel this way. He couldn't help shaking his head and continued to meditate.
Sometimes, the spiritual warning may not be noticed. In this way, Xue Pan miscalculated an opportunity to escape. When he stepped on the Ice Palace in the North Sea, it meant that he had to bear the anger of Xia Houtian.
Compared with the intangible door and the Qingyun school, whether it is its background or strength, it is not inferior. It is the fairy gate of the old school, and the Qingyun school has suddenly changed greatly, and the intangible door has also changed, which can be said to be half a catty and eight taels.
Xue Pan came here by taking this opportunity to marry the Beihai Ice Palace to become an alliance and overcome the crisis of the sect. It can be said that it is bound to be won and be armed to the teeth.
A battle between dragons and tigers is about to be staged.
On the inner floor of the Beihai Ice Palace, in a magnificent hall, Bingying stood in front of the window, looking at the sky in a thorn. Her eyes were very empty. Until now, she did not know that Xia Houtian was close at hand, and she was very hesitant.
