Chapter 473: How Could It Feel So Terrifying?

Excuse me, Heavenly Sound True Lord, does this far northern land still hold any other secrets about immortal arts and power? he asked impatiently.

Heavenly Sound True Lord smiled faintly and spoke mysteriously: "The far northern lands are vast, filled with countless mysteries."

You need only press forward, and you will gradually uncover its secrets.

Lu Yuan felt a flame ignite in his heart; he resolved to delve into every corner of the far northern lands and seek greater power.

He bowed deeply to Heavenly Sound True Lord: "Thank you, Heavenly Sound True Lord."

I will embark on the journey ahead once again.

Heavenly Sound True Lord gave a slight nod and said gently: "Ahead lies the forbidden area within Ice Heart Palace; please proceed with caution."

Lu Yuan left the place where he had spoken with Heavenly Sound True Lord and stepped into the forbidden area inside Ice Heart Palace.

Snowflakes swirled, condensing into strange structures and sights, mysterious yet beautiful.

He walked through every corner, sensing the mysteries of life and the faintness of power.

All of this filled him with curiosity and longing for the unknown.

While wandering aimlessly within Ice Heart Palace, Lu Yuan suddenly noticed a region emitting a distinct aura.

He immediately headed toward that area, and the sight before him left him stunned.

There stood a female cultivator in splendid robes, her visage mysterious and beautiful.

Beside her were several ice snow sculptures, exuding a chilling yet imposing aura.

She gently awakened the life of these ice snow sculptures, as soft as snow.

Lu Yuan halted his steps, intoxicated by this beautiful scene.

He grew ever more aware that countless secrets between himself and this world awaited revelation. In the snowy world of Silent Ice Valley, Lu Yuan and his teammates Gu Qingwan, King Qi, and Su Liyan stepped together onto this mysterious land.

Silent Ice Valley was shrouded in layers of chill, mist drifting all around, as if sealing off every outside sound.

Each felt an inexplicable dread, sensing that great unknown dangers lay hidden here.

Lu Yuan gripped his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly, staring at the bizarre, dazzling scenery ahead.

In Silent Ice Valley, strange flowers and exotic herbs bloomed, their petals exhaling faint spiritual energy, yet in this mysterious atmosphere they appeared eerily sinister.

They slowly moved forward, their bodies feeling increasingly heavy.

"This place is so perilous; how should we respond?" Gu Qingwan asked, her heart still pounding.

As she extended a finger to touch a nearby blood‑red rose‑like blossom, a sharp sting flashed across her fingertip.

King Qi lifted his head to gaze upon the vista of Silent Ice Valley, his fighting spirit igniting.

We must act with caution; in this environment, we cannot know what danger might suddenly appear.

Su Liyan gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly, her eyes flashing with resolve.

No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must support each other.

Only by standing united can we face any challenge.

Lu Yuan gave a slight nod; they were ready.

The team set out to explore ahead, step by step embarking on the mission to safeguard Ice Heart Palace.

Walking through Silent Ice Valley, Lu Yuan sensed a rare tranquility and loneliness.

Silent Ice Valley was filled with frost mist and biting cold; sunlight could not penetrate, leaving the whole valley like a forgotten world.

As they crossed the sea of flowers, occasional gusts of bone‑chilling wind struck them, making them hunch and clench their teeth. Lu Yuan and his teammates pressed deeper into Silent Ice Valley, drawing ever nearer to the entrance of the Star Firefly Ancient Tomb.

Ahead lay before them, and they could feel a strong aura of serenity.

This serenity made the team members feel both tense and expectant.

They knew they were about to enter the Star Firefly Ancient Tomb and uncover its secrets.

"We are already close," Lu Yuan murmured, glancing at his surroundings.

In the silence, one could sense their hearts brimming with curiosity and desire for the impending expedition.

The earlier harsh cold wind gradually faded, and the surrounding temperature rose somewhat.

Yet Lu Yuan and his team did not lower their guard, staying ready to face any danger that might arise.

Su Liyan lightly tightened her grip on the Ice Crystal Long Whip, her gaze steadfast.

No matter what obstacles arise, we must break through them.

Only then can we enter the tomb.

After a moment's thought, Gu Qingwan proposed: "We can first send out detection arts to see if there are guardians or other obstacles near the tomb entrance."

Lu Yuan nodded, agreeing with her suggestion.

Good idea.

We need to grasp the situation first, then make a decision," he said in a low voice.

King Qi lifted his head, his eyes hiding a steadfast resolve.

No matter what obstacles, we must face and overcome them." As the entrance to the Star Firefly Ancient Tomb drew nearer, Lu Yuan could sense a faint ripple of immortal energy.

He turned his head to the right; there lay a mountain peak blanketed in thick ice and snow.

In the cold environment, Lu Yuan focused his hearing, his brows slightly furrowing.

At that moment, a wisp of purple light seeped from a nearby cave, flickering like a ghost.

Lu Yuan felt a stir in his heart, knowing the cave might conceal some mysterious entity.

He hesitated not at all, immediately leading the team toward the cave.

The closer they got, the brighter the purple glow became.

The cave entrance exhaled a faint scent of immortal energy, appearing especially remarkable in Silent Ice Valley.

When Lu Yuan and his team stepped into the cave, a warm, tranquil energy enveloped them, making them feel utterly at ease.

There is a strong fluctuation of immortal arts here.

Su Liyan said softly, "We should be getting close."

Gu Qingwan nodded in agreement, "It seems there may be some important treasures or cultivation resources deep in the cave."

Lu Yuan stared at the purple light coming from inside the cave, curiosity and excitement surging in his heart.

"No matter what this is, we must uncover its secrets."

He led the way into the cave, trekking through the rocky passage.

The further they went, the brighter the purple light grew, as if the whole cave were shrouded in that mysterious aura.

The cave wound and twisted, its destination unknown.

Lu Yuan slowed his steps, using his Five Elements Escape Armor Art to nimbly avoid the obstacles. Lu Yuan slowly walked deeper into the cave; a breeze blew past, and the ice crystal whip at his side let out a clear sound.

He gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword firmly, his steps steady and resolute.

Gradually, Lu Yuan sensed a noticeable change in the temperature inside the cave.

The cold environment gradually turned warm, as if he had entered a quiet and mysterious space.

When he reached the depths of the cave, a strange sight appeared before his eyes.

A woman in plain white robes hovered in midair, her ethereal, illusory form radiating a dazzling light.

This is an illusion!

Lu Yuan's heart stirred. (End of chapter)
