Chen Mobai and his companions entered the Ice-sealed Mausoleum, discovering it was a place rich in ice spiritual energy. They navigated through Mirror Lake and a medicinal forest, gathering valuable herbs. The group then reached a junction of three ice caves, each leading to Snow Cloud Peak. Han Xingzi and Luo Ying Shangren chose separate paths, leaving Chen Mobai to decide his own.

Upon entering the Shaoyin Cave, Chen Mobai found himself in an expansive natural ice cavern. Sword-like icicles hung from the ceiling, and the ground was a sheet of solid ice.

Mysterious lights illuminated the cave from above, their reflections dancing off the ice walls, creating a vibrant, dreamlike spectacle that resembled a magical rainbow world.

It was no wonder the Three Veins of Ice Heaven referred to this place as the "Illusion Color Spirit Cave."

Lost in the wondrous sight, Chen Mobai ventured deeper into the ice cave, where the space widened and the light intensified. Tiny luminous ice crystals embedded in the surrounding walls emitted a subtle, cold fragrance.

As the scent permeated the air, Chen Mobai felt his Divine Sense begin to disperse, prompting him to quickly center his mind and ignite the Pure Yang True Fire.

Once the fragrance faded, he observed that the ice crystal walls were adorned with illusory figures and radiant script.

This was evidently the legacy left by Ice Heaven.

Under the scrutiny of his Spirit Transformation Stage Divine Sense, the figures appeared almost alive, demonstrating various martial arts movements and depicting meridian pathways. Combined with the accompanying text, they formed the lost Cultivation Technique of Ice Heaven.

Chen Mobai captured all the figures and text from the ice crystal walls using the Heavenly Calculation Bead. He then employed the Law of the Five Tones for a swift, preliminary comprehension.

He realized it was a complete rendition of the Shaoyin Scripture, a part of the greater Three Yin Scripture.

The entire tome, from Qi Cultivation to Divinity Transformation, encompassed myriad divine secret skills, elixir formulas, secret medicines, and methods for refining Magic Artifacts.

However, the technique for refining the Shaoyin Dao Fruit, which Chen Mobai was most keen on, was conspicuously absent.

Assuming it might be found deeper within the cave, he pressed onward, only to soon encounter the ice crystal waterfall at the cave's exit. A sense of having missed something along the way led him to turn back. Yet, as he tried to retrace his steps, a powerful resistance emerged, attempting to hold him captive and render him immobile.

Han Xingzi had previously mentioned that passage through the Illusion Color Spirit Cave was a one-way journey.

Once traversed, any comprehension gained was all that could be retained.

However, this rule did not apply to Chen Mobai.

He immediately utilized Void Walk, teleporting himself back to the original three-way intersection of the caves.

He re-entered the Shaoyin Cave, keeping the Heavenly Calculation Bead fully active to meticulously scan every detail within the ice cave.

But upon exiting the cave once more, Chen Mobai compared his findings, only to discover no discernible differences.

This confirmed that while the Illusion Color Spirit Cave housed the legacy of the Three Yin Scripture, it did not contain the chapters pertaining to Dao Fruit and Cultivating Void.

The extreme secrecy surrounding the Cultivation Technique by Ice Heaven was, in Chen Mobai's opinion, bordering on excessive.

This was his initial assessment.

His gaze then shifted upwards, towards Snow Cloud Peak.

It was the location of Jade Shatter True Monarch's nirvana. If any information regarding Dao Fruit and Cultivating Void had been preserved, it would undoubtedly be found there.

Despite his anticipation, a considerable amount of time passed without any sign of Han Xingzi or Luo Ying Shangren emerging from the other two cave entrances.

Chen Mobai initially considered them rather slow, unlike himself who had rapidly grasped the legacy within the Illusion Color Spirit Cave. He decided to wait a little longer.

Yet, after a full three days, their emergence remained unobserved.

A sense of puzzlement began to creep into Chen Mobai's mind. He decided to employ Void Walk once more, returning to the junction of the three caves.

He proceeded along the path leading into the Taiyin Cave, the one Han Xingzi had entered. Midway through, he once again detected that peculiar, cold fragrance.

Before long, he discovered Han Xingzi lying unconscious within the cave.

After scanning the entirety of the Taiyin Scripture present, Chen Mobai extended a finger towards Han Xingzi's forehead. Utilizing the Flame Lighting Technique, he swiftly neutralized the mysterious fragrance affecting him.

With a deep gasp, Han Xingzi regained consciousness. Reacting instinctively, he unleashed a potent Cold Light Divine Ability, which Chen Mobai effortlessly suppressed and nullified with a single extended finger.

"Awake now?"

As Chen Mobai's voice reached his ears, Han Xingzi finally opened his eyes and immediately offered his profound gratitude.

"Thank you, Sect Master Chen, for your assistance. Without your intervention, I likely would never have awakened."

"Oh? Do you have any recollection of what transpired?"

Chen Mobai inquired, a hint of surprise in his tone.

Han Xingzi nodded wryly and said, "This is the Spiritual Awakening Fragrance of our Ice Heaven’s legacy. It’s said that the ancestor obtained a peculiar tree from the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace, and upon ignition, it can burn for a thousand years. Cultivators smelling it can enter the deepest meditation stage, assisting in comprehending Cultivation Techniques and legacy, though it’s only usable by God-Transcending cultivators. Nascent Soul cultivators smelling too much of it are easily lost in the meditation. Initially, when several ancestors of our Jade Shatter Hall entered the mausoleum, they could smell this fragrance, identifying it as burning on Snow Cloud Peak, but by now it should have extinguished..."

After hearing Han Xingzi’s words, Chen Mobai speculated a possibility.

"Do you think Jade Shatter True Monarch on Snow Cloud Peak might still be alive?"

Chen Mobai’s statement made Han Xingzi shiver, showing a frightened expression.

"Sect Master Chen, you surely know how to joke."

Han Xingzi swallowed, laughing nervously.

"You should leave first, I’ll go and awaken Luo Ying Shangren as well."

Chen Mobai gestured toward the end of the cave entrance. Although Han Xingzi didn’t know how he could avoid the restriction, he wisely refrained from asking more. A God-Transcending cultivator having some tricks was normal.

Watching Han Xingzi’s silhouette vanish, Chen Mobai transformed into silvery light, disappearing from the spot.

But after walking through the Mysterious Yin Cave, Chen Mobai didn’t find any trace of Luo Ying Shangren.

He frowned deeply.

How could such a large living person simply vanish?

Perhaps she wasn’t affected by the Spiritual Awakening Fragrance and managed to leave on her own?

Thinking this, Chen Mobai scanned the Mysterious Yin Scripture here into the Heavenly Calculation Bead, completing the Three Yin Scripture before stepping out of the Illusion Color Spirit Cave.

At the end of the cave entrance, Chen Mobai saw only Han Xingzi.

"Where’s Junior Sister?"

Seeing Chen Mobai emerge alone, Han Xingzi asked somewhat surprised.

Chen Mobai’s expression turned serious, looking at Han Xingzi intently for a while, until the latter’s heart beat intensely. Only then did he sigh and say, "She’s not in the cave. I thought she left ahead. Since you haven’t seen her, it seems there’s trouble."

On hearing this, Han Xingzi’s face turned pale.

To mysteriously vanish under the noses of God-Transcending cultivators was somewhat terrifying for him.

"Could it be..." Pulling together the Spiritual Awakening Fragrance and Chen Mobai’s words, Han Xingzi looked towards Snow Cloud Peak, stuttering.

"Let’s go, now our only option is to check the mountain peak."

When Chen Mobai said this, the Heavenly Blessing had already issued another warning.

This was already very clear.

There was a force on the mountain peak that could threaten him.

Combining the mysterious disappearance of Luo Ying Shangren and the sudden ignition of the Spiritual Awakening Fragrance, it represented a living presence on Snow Cloud Peak.

But whether or not it was Jade Shatter True Monarch was unknown.

As Chen Mobai spoke, Han Xingzi appeared hesitant.

He remembered when they entered this ice-sealed mausoleum last time, an elder from their Jade Shatter Hall suddenly turned into an ice sculpture and plummeted lifelessly from the mountain after passing the waterfall onto Snow Cloud Peak.

However, during that time, Luo Ying Shangren had sensed the presence of the Mysterious Yin Dao Fruit’s aura on the mountain top and generated resonance with a Secret Technique.

"Senior, why don’t you go up while I wait here for you?"

Eventually, Han Xingzi shamelessly spoke, Chen Mobai gave him a glance, and with the latter unable to maintain eye contact, lowered his head. Without saying anything, Chen Mobai directly rode the Flame Dragon, flying toward Snow Cloud Peak.

Watching Chen Mobai depart, Han Xingzi breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned, pondering whether to go toward the waterfall drop-off point, as there lay a snowy path directly leading to Mirror Lake, allowing return to the entrance opened by the Mysterious Yin Talisman.

However, if he truly abandoned Chen Mobai in the ice-sealed mausoleum, heading off alone, the Five Elements Sect might topple over Ice Heaven’s Three Veins later.

Although the matter needed to be kept secret, the God-Transcending cultivators from the Three Great Sacred Lands knew it.

Even if the Three Great Sacred Lands wouldn’t seek revenge for Chen Mobai, it was effortless for them to inform the Five Elements Sect.

Thinking of this, Han Xingzi gritted his teeth, summoned the Taiyin Treasure Pearl, intending to wait by the cave entrance, ready to flee if necessary.

At that time, he would claim that Sect Master Chen sacrificed himself to save him, and Junior Sister Luo Ying Shangren also fell in the mausoleum.

Highlighting the Five Element Sect should be enough, as the honorable path would hesitate to annihilate them.

No sooner had Han Xingzi reached the base of the ice crystal waterfall than a violent earth tremor ripped through the land.

The unwavering, grand summit became engulfed in a blazing Flame Dragon, its profuse mist at the peak thinning out under the intense fiery exhalation, unveiling a visage never before witnessed by the Three Veins of Ice Heaven.
