Chapter 447: Today, She Truly Obtained the Ice Intent

"Ji Zhou, do you still have information regarding the Thunder-Striken Treasure Land?" Chen Qi spoke up.

Ji Haiyi also shook his head:

"The last batch of secret agents has also been cleared out, but that Chen Yan will not be able to come out within five years, so you may rest assured."

Chen Qi mentioned Chen Yan, and in an instant, the powerhouses of various clans looked toward Chen Qi.

"Elder Chen Qi, has your clan's system's judgment on the time of Chen Yan's emergence changed?" Lu Jianxia asked; this was very important.

Chen Yan was a thorn.

Once this person emerged, they would possess the combat strength of a Divine General.

The Xia Clan had given the other party glory and importance that surpassed Lu Xunyang.

If Chen Yan participated in the war, the cohesion of the Xia Clan's army would reach an extremely terrifying level.

This was simply a ticking time bomb.

Chen Qi spoke:

"It has lengthened; Chen Yan needs at least seven more years to emerge."

Their voice fell.

Everyone was silent.

Seven years until emergence, then they would be a Divine General.

That was also terrifying.

A monster, a heaven-defying monster.

The key was that the other party was not only intelligent but also possessed a sufficiently strong will.

Chen Changyuan's expression turned somewhat ugly.

Seven years later, would he be able to be stronger than Chen Yan?

"Stop for a moment, talk about my Ji Zhou affairs!"

Ji Haiyi also spoke, their expression ugly.

Chen Yan would emerge in seven years, but their Ji Zhou was still in chaotic warfare now.

They saw someone and pondered for a long time.

"Yu Yi, can you pass a message to the Yu Clan? My Ji Zhou..." Ji Haiyi spoke; they felt like dying of regret in their heart.

They had come here indeed to seek resources.

"Ji Haiyi, if you kill Chen Changyuan here, I will immediately communicate with the Yu Lord!" Chen Yan spoke:

"Of course, I also know that Your Excellency has the heart to kill me. It's fine, you killing me is better than Chen Changyuan killing me."

Ji Haiyi was speechless.

I didn't want to kill you, damn it!

Chen Changyuan gritted his teeth but remained silent.

The prodigies of the other five clans watched, laughing in their hearts; Ji Haiyi knew regret now, but it was useless.

Ji Haiyi took a deep breath and said with a fawning smile:

"Little Friend Bing Yi, stop joking."

"I am not joking. As long as you kill Chen Changyuan, I can immediately apply to the Yu Clan for fifty Sun-Level precious medicines!" Chen Yan said indifferently:

"I am Yu Yi, surnamed Yu!"

Everyone was shocked—fifty Sun-Level precious medicines!

Everyone's expression was changing; they had to re-evaluate the value of Yu Yi.

The other party was surnamed Yu and was the only prodigy of the Yu Clan to emerge into the world; perhaps they were the Yu Lord's own child.

This...

Exaggerated!

"Grade A or Grade D?" a Ji Clan prodigy asked, their breathing rapid.

"Grade A!" Chen Yan said indifferently.

The group of Ji Clan prodigies all fell silent.

Chen Changyuan closed his eyes, but his fists were clenched tight.

"If things go wrong later, I will instantly erupt with all my malice to help you escape."

Inside their body, the voice of the Dream Ancient Divine Beast sounded.

Clearly, everyone's expression when looking at Chen Changyuan had changed.

Ji Haiyi pursed their lips and ultimately did not respond.

They truly did not have the authorization to kill Chen Changyuan; if they did, they would strike immediately.

They regretted it; they regretted it to death.

Had they known, they wouldn't have provoked Bing Yi.

Lu Jianxia, however, quickly received a voice transmission from a Lu Clan prodigy.

"Princess Jianxia, it has already been checked. It was a distant check, but Your Excellency Lu Xiaodong can be certain that Li Honglian is a virgin."

Lu Jianxia's body stiffened slightly, and her expression when looking at Chen Yan changed completely.

Sure enough!

Sure enough, everything the other party did was a disguise.

How could a prodigy who had broken through realms be interested in women?

Only after confirming that they could not leave the Lu Clan did they choose to stop the disguise.

She took a deep breath.

No wonder, the ice intent she first encountered was overbearing and cold, while the ice intent she encountered later was lecherous and incompetent.

So, this ice intent had never intended to stay in the Lu Clan from the very beginning.

Why was the other party unwilling to stay in the Lu Clan?

It was too simple.

Among the Five Clans, Ji Prefecture is plagued by war and constant slaughter, making it the most suitable for a heaven-gifted genius to grow.

Chi Prefecture is skilled in formations and the path of Qi and blood, which is also more suitable for ice intent than the Lu Clan.

Chen Prefecture is, on the surface, one of the most powerful of the Five Clans.

Of course, it might not be as powerful as the Yu Clan.

Only Lu Prefecture is actually relatively mediocre, constrained everywhere.

Lu Jianxia realized this.

She had misjudged ice intent, and at the same time, the shock in her heart was even greater.

Ice intent had seen through her, and even toyed with her emotions and thoughts.

Even she, a princess of a prefecture, had her vision blurred by the false facade created by ice intent.

If it weren't for the Lu Lord's instruction that she must treat ice intent seriously, she might have already let ice intent leave.

Almost deceived.

Very well.

Lu Jianxia glanced sideways at Chen Yan and transmitted her voice:

"What do you need?"

Chen Yan frowned slightly and did not open his mouth.

He had forgotten one thing, which was what method ice intent actually used to transmit sound.

Was it Qi and blood, or force, or perhaps a formation?

Chen Yan knew none of these.

This was the truth; Chen Yan had never transmitted his voice to anyone before and had never learned it systematically.

He might have just realized what Lu Jianxia was thinking, and perhaps there were benefits to be had.

But Chen Yan could not transmit his voice.

Chen Yan might be the first Divine General in the world who could not transmit his voice.

Chen Yan did not speak; at this moment, he could only remain silent.

Lu Jianxia frowned.

Was ice intent angry?

Because she didn't speak up for him just now?

Lu Jianxia's heart sank; at this moment, ice intent was no longer as lecherous and unscrupulous as before, yet this made him even harder for her to handle.

"Before, it was indeed my fault." Lu Jianxia continued to transmit her voice:

"You are a heaven-gifted genius, and I can understand that you want a better platform, but my Lu Clan is not a useless place."

Chen Yan still chose to remain silent.

A trace of anger surfaced in Lu Jianxia's heart; was he acting coy after getting what he wanted?

Fine.

"Before, I did indeed misunderstand you, but you also have no intention of cooperating with my Lu Clan; I know that heaven-gifted geniuses are all proud."

Lu Jianxia kept transmitting her voice, but she did not receive a reply from Chen Yan.

Lu Jianxia was silent for a long time, only to see that ice intent slowly turned his head and looked at her:

"I can surpass Chen Yan."

Chen Yan did not transmit his voice, but said it directly.

Even though the various clans were still in talks, everyone heard Chen Yan's voice at this moment; some frowned, some were disdainful, and some thought ice intent was too arrogant.

Someone smiled faintly:

"Brother Ice Intent has great ambitions, but Chen Yan is a peerless heaven-gifted genius seen once in ten thousand years, and a great enemy for us in the future."

That person was clearly mocking him.

Even Chen Yunyou, who was currently first on the Five Clans Ranking, frowned slightly at this moment.

Someone said indifferently:

"Below Chen Yan, there are no geniuses."

Ice intent's words drew reactions from many people.

Lu Jianxia frowned; she looked at Chen Yan, and she also felt that what ice intent said was very exaggerated.

But she smiled, her brows curved and her eyes shimmering.

Ice intent had acknowledged her, and he had spoken very bluntly, which made her surprised and satisfied.

This meant the relationship between the two had broken the ice.

She even thought.

This was what a genius was; this was the other heaven-gifted genius who had broken through and was on par with Chen Yan.

"Ice intent can at least say it out loud, while you all have long since had your backs bent by Chen Yan." Lu Jianxia spoke, naturally choosing to support ice intent at this moment.

She had re-evaluated ice intent and did not want to let him go again.

The crowd was silent.

Chen Qi glanced at Chen Yan and continued the talks:

"Within the Five Clans, no one with a martial will has appeared yet; this Five Clans talk is the last attempt of the year."

"The geniuses of the Five Clans Ranking have basically all arrived; after entering Myriad Aspect Island, whether one can awaken the Will Martial Dao is entirely up to fate."

Chen Qi looked at the crowd and said:

"The Chen Clan's laboratory has concluded that the Path of Will requires resisting malice, and it is most easily born amidst malice.

Therefore, this time you will be transported to the southernmost part of Myriad Aspect Island; the further north you go, the denser the malice, and the denser the energy aura drifting in the air becomes.

Whether you can resist the denser malice determines how much energy opportunity you will obtain."

As Chen Qi spoke, Chen Yan looked down at the giant island beneath them.

Myriad Aspect Island was towering and majestic, standing in the center of the ocean, as if a primordial beast were lurking there.

Looking down from above, the entire island seemed to be tightly shrouded by a thick, ink-like black curtain; that was the rolling malice that permeated the air and never dissipated.

The further north one went, the more intense the malice became; one could only see a several-thousand-meter giant tree in the center of the island piercing through the malice, and a black-gold tower spire at the very north.

This was Myriad Aspect Island.

It was also the core content of this Five Clans Conference: awakening the Will Martial Dao.

The prodigies of the Five Clans Ranking were the most outstanding of the five clans, and also the martial artists most likely to awaken the Will Martial Dao.

Myriad Aspect Island only opens once every five hundred years; the island is surrounded by a void membrane that isolates it from the outside world.

Within it, the malice is intense.

But in the center of the island grows a Myriad Aspect Divine Tree, which constantly exudes body-tempering, blood-energy, and mental-power energy, filling the entire Myriad Aspect Island.

These energies and the malice are drawn into the north by a powerful suction force.

In other words, within Myriad Aspect Island.

The place where the malice is most intense is also where the energy is most intense.

The five clans have spent a great deal of effort and invested quite a lot to awaken martial artists of the Will Martial Dao.

This time, they have called over most of the geniuses of the Five Clans Ranking, making Myriad Aspect Island a key site for awakening the Path of Will.

If, even then, no martial artist of the Path of Will awakens.

Then afterwards, the five clans might not gather to discuss the matter of the Will Martial Dao together as they have this time.

Thinking of this.

Chen Yan looked at Lu Jianxia and said softly:

"I want the opportunity."

Lu Jianxia knitted her brows; she looked at Bing Yi. Bing Yi saying this sentence in front of everyone now represented a complete choice to side with the Lu Clan.

To the side, Chen Qi watched quietly, frowning.

He felt as if he had missed something again.

Lu Jianxia was very satisfied; she pondered, made up her mind, and transmitted her voice:

"This was originally prepared for the geniuses of the Lu Clan; there is indeed an opportunity within Myriad Aspect Island."

Lu Jianxia continued to transmit her voice:

"After entering the island, everyone else will head north to encounter more malice and absorb more energy essence.

But you can kill Ancient God Beasts; after an Ancient God Beast dies, malice erupts, and a lot of energy will also appear in the area where you are."

Chen Yan frowned slightly:

"The malice and energy are mixed together; if I absorb them, I will also absorb the malice, right?"

Lu Jianxia did not speak, and Chen Qi said indifferently:

"This is the method to awaken the Will Martial Dao. In the Great Xia's Will Martial Dao research class, many martial artists only awakened the Will Martial Dao by experiencing malice.

If you are worried that malice entering your body will damage your talent, then don't enter."

As Chen Qi's voice fell, many prodigies frowned.

Absorbing malice was no small matter.

Unless one is a Seventh-Rank Creation Realm, once a Sixth-Rank martial artist absorbs malice, they cannot disperse it in a short time.

"That's a bit suicidal," someone said.

"Suicidal?" Chen Qi barked:

"That is why you will never compare to Chen Yan in your entire lives!

Chen Yan is not only a Will Martial Dao martial artist, but he has also walked to the very front of everyone; is he being suicidal?

You don't even dare to take risks; are you worthy of being called prodigies?"

The crowd was speechless.

The more you praise Chen Yan now, the more of a clown you were when you left Xiaoyang early back then.

You didn't act suicidal either, and that is why you lost Chen Yan.

But no one said it out loud; they didn't dare.

"I withdraw. Absorbing malice is no small matter; I don't want to risk it for this," a prodigy from the third tier said.

They were only Fifth-Rank; absorbing malice was simply too dangerous.

"I withdraw."

"Sorry, I don't want to damage my own talent."

"I... I withdraw as well."

In an instant, no fewer than thirty people chose to withdraw.

Most of them were from the third tier.

The Five Clans Ranking consists of eight people in the first tier, thirty in the second tier, and one hundred in the third tier.

They were all top-tier geniuses.

Now that the five clans are using the geniuses of the Five Clans Ranking as experiments, one can see how deep their desire for the Will Martial Dao is.

Whether it was the Extreme Dao Martial Arts, the Blood Sword Saint, or Li Muyun and the Extreme Dao Martial Arts who had newly awakened the Will Martial Dao, all erupted with unimaginable combat power on the Ji Province battlefield.

Many powerhouses were even sent back to Great Xia to attempt to awaken the Will Martial Dao.

This martial dao provided a substantial boost to combat power.

This point almost changed the state of the war.

The current Great Xia appears to be fighting against one province, Ji Province, but in reality, it is fighting against four provinces.

This is the power of a single nation!

Chen Qi and the other high-level figures watched, none of them speaking.

After all, this was a free choice.

Subsequently, the prodigies who chose to stay plummeted downward.

Lu Jianxia watched Chen Yan's figure, her eyes shifting, and then a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

She wanted to lock Bing Yi firmly in Lu Province.

"The one most likely to awaken the Will Martial Dao this time is Chen Changyuan," Ji Haiyi also spoke.

No one would say that Chen Changyuan lacked will.

"He cannot awaken it," Chen Qi said with a cold sneer, implying something.

He truly looked down upon Chen Changyuan.

"I actually think Chen Yunyou is the most likely," Chen Qi continued.

No one refuted this; Chen Yunyou was, after all, first on the Five Clans Ranking.

"What about Bing Yi? Bing Yi has hope too, right?" Ji Haiyi also spoke, frowning; he actually disliked this person very much.

"Bing Yi has already awakened," Lu Jianxia smiled and said.

"Hm?" Chen Qi was stunned, and Ji Haiyi was also taken aback.

"He is the first prodigy of the Five Clans to awaken the Will Martial Dao!" A faint smile appeared at the corners of Lu Jianxia's mouth as she looked at the stunned Chen Qi and his group.

She was extremely satisfied in her heart.

Only today could she be considered to have truly obtained Bing Yi.

The real Bing Yi!
