Chapter 456: Difficult Every Step

"My disciple's cultivation is still shallow. WM Net As his master, I naturally have to take more care of him. Although this White Rhinoceros Pendant is considered precious, I am going to take the Profound Crystal Path, so this item is of no great use to me. It is just that I remember Brother Man also has a Cold Ice Bead, why not lend it to my disciple together. I believe you wouldn't want my disciple to have any accidents before entering the inner palace!" Ancestor Extreme Yin didn't get angry, but instead smiled after his eyes moved.

"Hmph! Before the Void Heaven Cauldron is taken out, I naturally won't let him die easily. This Cold Ice Bead was obtained when I killed a Cold Carp in my early years. Kid, it's your cheap luck first." After saying this, Man Man Huzi took out a warm, moist, white-misty round bead the size of a thumb from his body and threw it to Han Li.

Han Li was happy in his heart, and after receiving this item, he thanked him a few times. Although he knew that these two giving him such treasures was entirely because of the Blood Jade Spider, he could pass the Lava Road safely. Naturally, he couldn't ask for more.

Although the Cold Ice Bead and Man Man Huzi's White Rhinoceros Pendant both flashed with white light, after this bead was in his hand, a coldness that froze his skin made Han Li shiver, and he hurriedly put it into his storage pouch first. This was completely different from the warm and cool touch of the jade pendant, and it seemed to be a grade better than the jade pendant.

Seeing this scene, the old man in Confucian robes chuckled, his figure flashed, and he entered the Profound Crystal Path first. Seeing this, other cultivators also entered the canyon according to the passages they had chosen long ago.

In just a short while, more than half of the cultivators in front of the passages were gone.

"Han Li, you enter the canyon first. We will meet at the teleportation array at the end of the canyon in a few days." Ancestor Extreme Yin glanced at Han Li and said with a pleasant countenance.

Han Li naturally had no different opinion, and after responding, he walked toward the passage with the "Lava Road" stone tablet.

However, before walking in, Han Li still scanned the surroundings with his normal expression.

As a result, he felt somewhat uneasy in his heart!

That old demon Xuan Gu still hadn't appeared until now. Could it be that he suddenly changed his mind and slipped away alone?

Han Li couldn't help but think in some bad directions.

After all, human hearts are unpredictable, and it's hard to guarantee that Xuan Gu wouldn't change his mind again once he saw Extreme Yin's power.

However, if this matter truly happened, Han Li would absolutely not be polite and would take out the old demon's background at an inopportune moment to use as a bargaining chip to save his life. Han Li thought with a flash of fierce light in his eyes.

Perhaps this action stimulated someone. Just as Han Li was feeling somewhat resentful, Xuan Gu's calm voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Don't look around. I am hiding nearby now, just not appearing. Take care of yourself! After passing the Ice-Fire Path, I will contact you myself." After saying this, Xuan Gu's voice disappeared again.

But Han Li felt relieved after the surprise, and walked into the passage with big strides.

"Waves of hot wind blew toward his face along the passage, making Han Li, who had just stepped in, immediately feel as if he were being roasted by the side of a hot furnace.

Han Li frowned and focused his eyes to look forward.

The passage was only about two zhang high, not very tall, but the dazzling red light faintly overflowing from the front made people feel somewhat shocked.

Han Li licked his somewhat dry lips, and after a flash of sternness in his eyes, he walked forward step by step.

With every step he took, he felt the temperature of the surrounding air seem to rise by a point.

After walking twenty or thirty steps, Han Li could no longer move forward. Because the high temperature in the surroundings, plus the occasional one or two gusts of hot wind, made the skin on his face feel faintly painful.

Han Li hesitated for a moment and released a layer of "Water Attribute" protective barrier on his body.

The blue radiance covered Han Li, and the scorching heat immediately decreased greatly.

Afterward, he patted his storage pouch with one hand, and a green light flew out, landing in his hand. It was precisely that "Fire-Repelling Treasure Garment."

Han Li didn't hesitate to put this item on inside his clothes.

Immediately, a coolness wafted from the treasure garment, Han Li felt refreshed, and continued to walk forward.

A dozen steps later, the front suddenly brightened, and a red misty light wall blocked his way.

This time, after Han Li looked at the light wall a few times, he plunged into it headlong.

Because he heard footsteps coming from behind, it seemed other cultivators had also walked in. He had no interest in meeting other cultivators.

After a dizzying spell in the dazzling red light, the high temperature that had disappeared surged over like a counterattacking monster, causing the water attribute protective barrier to flicker with blue light and immediately sway precariously.

Han Li, who hadn't yet recovered from the dizziness, was startled, hurriedly surging his spiritual power to stabilize the barrier's condition, and focused his eyes to look around.

Crimson red mountain stones, yellow-red land, grass and trees emitting red light, deep red and blurred sky, everything was the color of fire.

Standing inside the protective barrier, wearing the Fire-Repelling Treasure Garment, Han Li could still clearly sense the feeling that the air itself was almost burning.

Han Li took a deep breath, and his expression turned gloomy.

If it were under such high temperatures, staying for just three or five hours, even if he didn't use any treasures, he imagined passing through would be a piece of cake.

But according to what Fairy Zhao Ziling said, all cultivators on this second pass of the Ice-Fire Path were unable to fly in the air and could only rely on their feet to move forward slowly step by step.

In this way, people who were teleported slightly further away would only be able to reach the end of the canyon after walking for several days and nights without sleep.

This was not something that could be accomplished by relying solely on a cultivator's cultivation. It also depended on the effect of the cold and fire protection treasures they possessed.

And the harsh environment on this road was not the only problem faced by the cultivators; the natural ice and fire attribute demon spirits gathered in the canyon were the biggest obstacles for them to pass through this pass safely.

Cultivators who wanted to break through this pass died in the hands of these demon spirits nearly half the time.

Besides this, being ambushed and plotted against by people with ulterior motives on the road to snatch treasures was also a scene that was bound to be performed on the Ice-Fire Path every time.

After all, the closer one got to the end of the canyon's teleportation array, the more likely one was to encounter other cultivators.

And snatching others' cold and fire protection treasures could greatly increase one's own chances of survival. I imagine some cultivators who couldn't hold on any longer would definitely make a move without the slightest politeness.

Han Li stood straight in place and didn't move immediately. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings while analyzing the information he knew, thinking about something.

After a full cup of tea's time, Han Li's expression moved, and he took out the White Rhinoceros Pendant from his bosom, hung it at his waist, and then retracted the blue protective barrier.

The white light of the jade pendant replaced the blue light, covering Han Li's surroundings.

Magic power could not be wasted in the slightest. Sitting in meditation to rest here was purely a "suicidal" act.

Raising his head to look at the sky, he barely identified the blurred red sun and recognized the direction, then set off without hesitation.

Apart from piles of "messy stones" and straight, strange trees half a person high, there was basically no road to walk on. He could only stumble forward slowly.

After walking only a short distance in the hot air, Han Li was blocked by a cluster of strange wild grass emitting demonic red light.

He looked at these strange grass and trees, and Han Li couldn't help but frown.

Suddenly, a blue water ball flew out from his hand and struck the grass.

As a result, the moment the blue light touched the grass and trees, there was a "zila" sound, and it transformed into a path of white water vapor.

Han Li's expression changed slightly.

He looked at both sides of the grass, and as a result, everywhere he looked was this kind of strange wild grass. There was basically no other road to walk on.

Han Li hesitated, bit his teeth, and stepped on it tentatively, walking a few steps.

When his feet stepped into the grass pile, Han Li finally knew the terror of the Lava Road.

This was no longer any wild grass, but clearly sharp swords that were scorching red, not only incomparably sharp, but the flame energy attached to them made him suffer quite a bit.

Although he had the protection of the White Rhinoceros Pendant and the Fire-Repelling Treasure Garment, he was fine, but the bursts of stinging pain from below his thighs made Han Li feel as if every step was difficult.

Han Li walked only a few zhang before he had to open the water attribute protective barrier again, protecting his entire body thoroughly.

Although the magic power consumption was fast this way, it finally allowed Han Li to sprint through the grass like flying.

He had no choice but to unfold the Luo Smoke Step, and only saw a blue, glowing ghost shadow flashing east and west in the dazzling red light, and then the person transformed into a small black dot, gradually moving away.

Bu Xu was a Core Formation mid-stage cultivator with earth and fire spiritual roots. He had only been cultivating for less than three hundred years and already had his current cultivation, making him famous in several nearby sea areas.

Even many people nearby believed that he was one of the cultivators with the most hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage in the last hundred years in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Bu Xu very much enjoyed this kind of awe and envy from others and the high praise.

But Bu Xu knew his own situation very well.

If it weren't for the fact that he happened to discover an ancient "Fen Yuan Pill" in the belly of a level four demon beast during a trip, which saved him a hundred years of hard cultivation, he was afraid he would still be hovering at the Foundation Establishment stage now.

But it was this spirit pill that made him taste the sweetness of ancient spirit medicine. Therefore, he had long aimed at this "Void Heaven Palace" trip.

And he took advantage of others not paying attention to buy a Fire Dragon Insect at a high price.

He wanted to risk breaking into the inner palace and use this insect to collect the top-secret treasure Void Heaven Cauldron that was famous in the Chaotic Star Sea. As long as he had the many treasures inside the Void Heaven Cauldron and the legendary Heaven-Mending Pill, he imagined his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage would be just around the corner.
