Fantasy: I'll do the hacking, and you'll suffer the side effects!

237: Xuanbingyuan changes dramatically! Conquer the extremely cold divine fire!In that instant, an ice-blue light shot out, dazzling and extraordinary.

The terrifying cold power instantly froze this Void Realm, solidifying space-time, and turning everything into ice crystals.

The power of the extreme cold divine pearl was even stronger than Jiekong had imagined; in just an instant, the Extreme Cold Castle showed signs of recovery.

”amitabha, fate is sealed, why struggle?” A strong greed flashed in Jiekong’s eyes, and Devilish Qi flickered away.

Then, a hand covered in golden light reached out and firmly grasped the extreme cold divine pearl!

At this moment, the surging Extreme Cold Divine Nature erupted completely, and an extremely cold, biting gale swept through the Void Realm, scouring every inch of the Profound Ice Abyss.

The gale swirled towards the sky, and the entire world was instantly covered by the Extreme Cold Divine Nature.

Snowflakes fell, and the vast expanse of land quickly turned into frozen earth, with a thick layer of ice and snow accumulating.

”It is true that a Divine Pearl can influence the general trend of the world, and this extreme cold divine pearl will ultimately fall into this monk’s pocket,” Jiekong said softly.

The Floating Pagoda has eighteen levels, corresponding to the eighteen levels of Hell.

Eighteen above ground, eighteen below ground.

The two Divine Pearls he brought from Xuankong Temple were sealed on the first and second levels.

Chu Jiangnian was imprisoned on the third level back then, but now that he was gone, Jiekong did not hesitate to open the third-level gate to welcome the extreme cold divine pearl.

Infinite Karma power surged out, transforming into resounding Dao Buddhist chants.

Jiekong continuously chanted scriptures, and the Floating Pagoda shimmered with brilliant light, enveloped in a rich Buddhist halo.

”Buddhism saves all sentient beings, and also treasures,” Jiekong gently pushed the extreme cold divine pearl into it.

However, just as the extreme cold divine pearl was about to disappear into the Floating Pagoda, it suddenly stopped.

As if pulled by some force, it slowly withdrew, no longer under Jiekong’s control.

”Hmm?”

Jiekong sensed that something was wrong and reached out his palm again, attempting to grasp the Divine Pearl.

But it was as if it was playing with him, dodging left and right, constantly drifting in mid-air.

”Stop right there, you!” An unidentifiable anger rose in Jiekong’s heart.

But no matter how he tried to grab it, he could never touch the extreme cold divine pearl.

The two were like mutually repelling magnetic poles; when he went left, the Divine Pearl went right.

After a few back-and-forths, Jiekong became impatient and conjured the Floating Pagoda, attempting to draw it in.

However, at this moment, the glacier beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble.

Jiekong’s body swayed violently, and it was this momentary lapse that allowed the extreme cold divine pearl to evade the Floating Pagoda’s grasp.

”Who exactly is behind this mischief?” Jiekong was furious as he watched the Divine Pearl slip from his grasp.

He had expended so much effort, meticulously planned for so long, even sacrificing Chu Jiangnian, this chess piece, and giving up Qin Han, that major chess piece.

All just to obtain the extreme cold divine pearl.

These past few days, he had tirelessly chiseled through the ice, with hope clearly in sight, only to be struck down.

How could this not enrage him?

Before Jiekong could find the culprit, the ground tremors grew even stronger.

Huge cracks appeared, and the ground of the Profound Ice Abyss seemed to be under attack by a terrifying creature, on the verge of collapse.

Countless ice blocks shattered, and the Extreme Cold Divine Nature rapidly diminished.

The originally icy world actually felt a hint of warmth.

”The ice and snow in the Profound Ice Abyss have not melted for hundreds of millions of years, how could they be declining today?” Jiekong was full of doubt.

What made him even more surprised was that the extreme cold divine pearl had transformed into a stream of light and was heading towards the abyss.

Just as Jiekong was about to pursue it, the Extreme Cold Divine Nature within the ice and snow castle suddenly vanished without a trace.

Without the support of the Divine Nature, the vast ice and snow melted at a visible speed.

In a few breaths, it turned into water, flowing into the abyss.

The changes were not only happening deep within the Profound Ice Abyss, but also in the outer regions.

Wu De and the God-Slaying Stone were originally huddled together for warmth, waiting for Qin Han to return.

Unexpectedly, after a tremor, the surrounding ice cones and glaciers began to melt.

This strange and bizarre phenomenon made Wu De’s expression change, and he sprang up from the ground to look towards the depths.

”This is bad. If the Extreme Cold Divine Nature disappears, the ancient beings frozen in the Profound Ice Abyss are very likely to revive,” Wu De said with worry.

”How is that possible? Frozen for so many eras, they should have died long ago,” the God-Slaying Stone denied.

”You underestimate the Extreme Cold Divine Nature too much. There is the Law power of the Extreme Cold Divine Fire protecting the depths, which can make living beings enter a state of suspended animation,” Wu De explained.

”Even if ancient beings revive, what then? After so many eras, how much power do they have left?” The God-Slaying Stone was not worried at all.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, seven or eight tenths of the surrounding glaciers had melted, all turning into liquid and flowing into the depths.

Wu De no longer needed the protection of the Golden Crow Divine Fire, and he looked at the deep region with a solemn expression.

He could only pray that Qin Han was safe and sound now.

At the bottom of the abyss.

Just as Jiekong and Wu De were bewildered, Qin Han’s refining process was already nearing its end.

The Extreme Cold Divine Fire struggled a few times and, finding no way out, simply gave up.

It seemed to have realized its tragic fate.

Qin Han placed the last imprint into his Origin world, and suddenly his spirit was refreshed, feeling a sense of telepathic connection with another life form.

This feeling was very strange; he could clearly perceive the thoughts and intentions of the Extreme Cold Divine Fire.

”This should be what it means to be recognized as a master, right?” Qin Han opened his palm, and a cluster of ice-blue, dazzling flames suddenly appeared.

The surrounding air instantly froze into frost, and even space showed signs of cracking.

”As expected of a Heaven and Earth Divine Fire, it’s truly powerful!” Qin Han was overjoyed and couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

Hard work pays off; after so much effort, he finally obtained the Divine Fire.

From now on, he would possess this kindling that could continuously grow and evolve.

The Extreme Cold Divine Fire had been uncollectible for countless years, yet at this very moment, it was refined by him.

Qin Han suddenly felt a bit dreamlike, as if many unrealistic illusions were appearing before his eyes.

”Without the help of Emperor Zhenwu, it would certainly not have been this easy,” Qin Han thought to himself.

He was very grateful for Emperor Zhenwu’s help; if it weren’t for the projection, he wouldn’t even have the qualification to touch the Extreme Cold Divine Fire.

Let alone something as ethereal as refining it.

He kept this favor in his heart and would repay it in the future.

Emperor Zhenwu’s help to him could not have been without purpose, a majestic existence standing at the pinnacle of the ancient era.

How could he pay attention to the predicament of a mere Divine Palace Realm cultivator?

”Now I can confirm... the one who left the Dao Seed in the Ascension Platform stele back then was Emperor Zhenwu!” A glint flashed in Qin Han’s eyes.

With one mystery solved, he was now eager to know why he would stand at the end of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

But his current strength was too weak; only by continuously becoming stronger could he unravel more mysteries.

”In that case, let’s begin now!”

”Three Paths to Immortality, open for me!”

Boom!

The Extreme Cold Divine Fire suddenly erupted with unparalleled, terrifying Divine Nature, pouring it all into the immortal script.
