In the old man’s memories, the heavy snow of that year lasted for three months without stopping, covering almost the entire basin. The snow was incredibly thick.

They thought that this was just a normal natural phenomenon, but they didn’t take it to heart. With a martial artist’s strength and methods, there were many ways to survive this cold environment. Not to mention that there were Dao Realm experts guarding them here, and they had set up numerous formations to isolate themselves from the outside world, so there was no need to worry.

At that time, the old man also saw that the heavy snow had fallen in the sky for too long, almost drowning their residences. Therefore, he began to set up a formation and formed a circular light shield to block the heavy snow in the sky.

It was precisely because of this circular light shield that the underground space was formed.

However, they did not know that this was not a natural phenomenon. Rather, a terrifying expert was secretly attacking, setting up a desperate situation of ice!

Not even a Dao Realm expert like the old man was able to discover the strangeness of this heavy snow. After all, none of them had ever lived on the Northern Ice Plains before. The old man was too confident. He felt that there was nothing in the world that could hide from him.

As a result, calamity descended silently. Thick snow covered the entire basin, and it instantly froze over overnight. The unparalleled power of ice wasn’t even able to escape from the Dao Realm, and it was frozen here.

Originally, this kind of freezing power was not enough to completely trap a Dao Realm expert. However, after that, boundless ice power continuously surged from the depths of the Northern Ice Plains and added to the ice layer, causing the ice here to become harder and harder. It had already far exceeded the scope of ice.

At the last moment, the old man only had time to use his divine sense to sense the depths of the Northern Ice Plains, wanting to find the true face of the enemy. However, he discovered that an enormous well had actually risen up there at some unknown time. It was unfathomable, and it was still emitting a steady stream of cold air.

He only had time to see this well, not even the true face of the enemy. This Dao Realm expert was sealed here, which showed how terrifying that well was.

No wonder the old man said that Li Qing had no chance of escaping. The frost power contained in that well was simply too powerful. It was simply the extreme of the Dao of Frost. Even a Dao Realm expert could seal it, let alone a mere Void Realm Second Stage expert.

Of course, the most important thing was that the old man was unwittingly struck. The heavy snow had covered the basin for three months in a row, accumulating endless cold energy, forming a desperate state of ice. That was why he was able to display such tremendous power.

Otherwise, even if the old man couldn’t defeat that mysterious enemy in the dark, he wouldn’t even be unable to resist at all.

“This old man is really unlucky. He is at least a Dao Realm expert. He has actually fallen to such a state. He died without even seeing the enemy. Isn’t this a bit too aggrieved?” Li Qing thought to himself.

“But what exactly is the origin of that ice well inside? Even a Dao Realm expert can seal it. Isn’t this a bit too terrifying?”

“Perhaps if I were discovered by that mysterious existence, I would also be sealed in this boundless ice field, right?”

“However, the reason why the old man was sealed back then was mainly because he accidentally got hit without any knowledge or awareness. No one expected that there would be such a deep danger here. The old man was also careless.”

“As long as I’m careful, I might not end up like that.”

“Perhaps the mysterious existence in the well hasn’t discovered my arrival yet.”

“More importantly, although the old man was sealed on the spot, he didn’t seem to die immediately. He just couldn’t escape.”

“I don’t seem to have to worry about being sealed, because I have the means to escape. Whether it is the Heavenly Saber or the Polarity Emperor’s palm, they can destroy everything in the world, so the Frost Seal is useless against me!”

“As long as it doesn’t freeze me to death, I’ll have a chance to escape!”

Li Qing tidied up the old man’s corpse and found a dozen spirit artifacts from within. However, he didn’t see any of them, causing Li Qing to curl his lips in disdain.

It seemed that this old man’s strength was at the bottom of the Dao Realm.

However, this fellow’s wealth was truly extraordinary. Let alone spirit stones and the like, there were countless kinds of precious treasures, pills, materials, and so on. This did not disgrace the strength of his Dao Realm expert.

Back then, the old man’s sect had been destroyed, so he must have brought all of his family’s wealth with him. If he had excavated this underground space properly, perhaps he would have obtained a good harvest.

However, Li Qing did not have the leisure to dig this place. Moreover, if he wanted to dig this place, he would at least make a huge commotion, which might alert the mysterious existence inside.

After tidying up, Li Qing continued to walk forward. He didn’t even dare to release his divine sense to probe for fear that the mysterious existence would detect him.

He quietly hid in the darkness and slowly moved forward without making a single sound.

After a long time, Li Qing finally saw the deep well in the old man’s memory! At this moment, there was still a constant chill!

The temperature was so low that it almost made people think that this was the coldest place in the world. Even with Li Qing’s strength, he had no choice but to raise his spirits to deal with it.

At this moment, a cold aura sprayed out from the well. Li Qing could only feel the hair on his body stand upright. Then, his entire body instantly stiffened. Then, he began to make cracking sounds and turned into an ice sculpture. Moreover, he continuously increased the thickness of the ice layer and gradually turned into an ice wall.

Whoosh–whoosh–

Cold Qi continuously sprayed out from the deep well and merged into Li Qing’s body. The ice layer became thicker and thicker until it finally formed an iceberg.

Li Qing was frozen in the center of the iceberg.

The deep well calmed down and no longer emitted cold air. It seemed that freezing a person like Li Qing was just a trivial matter.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard faint sounds coming from within the iceberg. It felt like an insect was gnawing on wood. Then, a passage appeared and a figure emerged from it.

“Fortunately, I immediately put on the Eternal Immortal Cloak and isolated most of the cold energy. Otherwise, I’m afraid that the cold energy will freeze me to death!” Li Qing couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.

This cold energy did not freeze a Dao Realm expert to death on the spot, but it did not mean that Li Qing, a Void Realm 2nd layer expert, could not freeze to death. Only by waiting for the Eternal Immortal Cloak’s defensive power could he be able to hold on.

“As long as I don’t freeze to death on the spot, I’ll have a chance to escape! I wonder if that mysterious existence has noticed me escaping yet. It’s important to find the Heaven Splitting Stone immediately!”

According to the instructions of the Subhuti Pearl and the Demon Ancestor Tree Heart, he felt that the Heaven Splitting Remnant Stone was around this area. He carefully scanned it, but failed to find a suitable target.

“Could it be that the stone directly fell into the well?” Li Qing suddenly had such an idea.

“If I really fall into the well, how can I take it out?” He felt a headache.

It was quiet here, and the situation was still calm for the time being. Li Qing slowly walked to the side of the deep ice well and held the Demon Ancestor Tree Heart and Bodhi Tree in his hand. He saw that these two objects were indeed shining brightly, pointing towards the depths of the ice well.

Facts had proved his conjecture that the Heaven Splitting Demon Stone was actually in a deep well!

At this moment, a cold aura suddenly emerged from the deep well.

Li Qing’s expression changed. His entire body was immediately wrapped in rainbow light, protecting his entire body. In the next moment, he was frozen.

Just like what happened just now, Li Qing’s location was quickly frozen into an iceberg, and it was even bigger than before!

However, it was still useless. A moment later, Li Qing held the Heavenly Saber in his hand and cut through the ice to escape.

He was too lazy to hide now, since he had already been discovered by the other party, so he simply broke through the ice openly.

He felt a little strange. This deep well seemed to be the only method. It spat out cold air and froze everything in the world. Even Dao Realm experts were unable to escape.

However, that was all, and he did not have the ability to immediately kill people! As long as he could withstand this wave of frost and remain conscious, Li Qing would basically be able to escape.

“Forget it, charge in, pick up the Heaven Splitting Stone and run!” Li Qing was ruthless and charged into the deep well without fear. A moment later, he landed at the bottom of the well.

Endless cold energy rushed out, crazily freezing Li Qing’s body, but Li Qing quickly escaped.

Although with the protection of the Seven-Colored Immortal Clothes, this cold energy could not freeze Li Qing to death immediately, but it did not mean that he could stay here forever. He would not be able to hold on for a long time, and he had to finish the battle quickly!

Li Qing swept his divine sense and saw the situation in the bottom of the well. There was not much space at the bottom of the well, all of them were ice crystal walls. In the middle of the well, there was a small pool of ice, and the cold mist kept rising. It was like a surging wave.

Very quickly, his gaze landed on a stone beside the ice pool. The Demon Ancestor Tree Heart and Bodhi Pearl were pointing at that stone.

This stone was extremely ordinary, without any trace of aura emanating from it. Perhaps no one could imagine that it was a stone left behind by the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor after his death, right?

However, there was no sign of such an ordinary stone being frozen in this snowy environment. Obviously, it was somewhat abrupt.

After all, everything here was covered with a thick layer of ice, with the exception of this stone!

After locking onto the target, Li Qing immediately took a step forward and arrived in front of the stone. He picked it up and felt that it was as heavy as a thousand jun.

Li Qingqiang quickly put the item into his interspatial ring and rushed out of the well against the cold air.

The moment he was about to leave, Li Qing turned around and saw that an ice coffin slowly appeared in the ice pool!

Inside the ice coffin, a beautiful white-clothed woman was asleep. Her specific face could not be seen clearly, but the tyrannical aura emitted from it made Li Qing feel terrified.

“What a terrifying expert!” Li Qing’s heart trembled. He was intimidated by the woman in the ice coffin and was unable to move for a moment.

The woman inside the ice coffin did not move at all. She was lying there like this, but the aura she emitted was comparable to the sun and moon gods. It was simply incredibly powerful.

After this ice coffin floated up, it stayed silent for a while, as if it was staring at Li Qing. But in the end, it did not make a move. Instead, it sank back into the ice pool and disappeared.

Li Qing watched as the ice coffin disappeared and didn’t dare to stay any longer. He immediately turned around and ran away without looking back. Such a terrifying expert, if he wanted to kill Li Qing, it would be as simple as crushing an ant to death.

Fortunately, the woman in the ice coffin did not choose to make a move in the end. Otherwise, Li Qing might not be able to escape today. Perhaps even Devil Master Yin Tianhong himself might not be able to save him, right?

After coming out, Li Qing ran for thousands of miles before stopping.

“I didn’t expect such a terrifying old monster to hide in this world. I can’t feel such a tyrannical aura from Yin Tianhong. That woman is definitely stronger than Yin Tianhong and the Zhou Emperor.”

“However, that ice well should be more than 10,000 years old, right? Why is that woman able to live for such a long time without dying?”

Li Qing could feel that the woman was indeed still alive, unlike the old man, who only had a wisp of her soul left.

However, the woman in the ice coffin did not attack Li Qing in the end. From this, it was certain that she also had many restrictions and did not dare to easily break out of the coffin. Otherwise, there might be unpredictable consequences.

“Although the process was a bit dangerous and winding, I’ve finally achieved my goal.” Li Qing took out the Heaven Splitting Stone and observed it carefully.
