Even more terrifying, these mists carried a powerful lethality.
Even standing ten meters away from the mist, Mingxi still felt as if her capillaries were clogged by the chilling aura.
She had no doubt that if she entered the misty area, she would instantly turn into a beautiful ice sculpture.
How could this Han Qi Pool be so overbearing?
Why hadn't Lan Yue mentioned it before?
“Ling?”
Lan Yue’s question at this moment cleared Mingxi’s doubts.
It had also never seen the Han Qi Pool in such a state, indicating that the Han Qi Pool was clearly not like this before.
Mingxi quickly connected it to the various anomalies of the Abyss Secret Realm.
Lan Yue’s father, the male Bing She Six-tailed Huan, slowly began to explain.
Mingxi finally learned a bit about the Abyss Secret Realm’s anomaly from him.
According to the Bing She Six-tailed Huan, about two months ago, the Twin Moons in the Sky phenomenon, which normally occurred only once every few years, reappeared, and it was in broad daylight.
It appeared suddenly, without any warning.
Mingxi frowned. Two months ago?
According to Ye Linyu, He Ningqi entered the Abyss Secret Realm in September of last year, which meant it had been about half a year.
The timeline clearly didn’t match.
Could it be that the anomaly in the Secret Realm had nothing to do with Qi Shen, that old man, exploring the Abyss Rift Valley?
She still felt it was related.
In any case, starting from that day two months ago, Twin Moons in the Sky became the most common sight in the Secret Realm, appearing every night.
And it was from that day that the Han Qi Pool began to expand.
Yes.
Expand.
The Han Qi Pool was originally just a pool, about ten meters wide and three to four meters deep, where the Chill would condense and not dissipate within the pool.
Even if some gas overflowed from the pool surface, it wouldn't extend beyond two meters.
That’s why the Bing She Six-tailed Huan family could live safely near the Han Qi Pool.
Mingxi then realized that even the Bing She Six-tailed Huan couldn't directly enter the Han Qi Pool or come into close contact with the Chill.
Their method of cultivating using the Han Qi Pool was to stay ten meters away from it.
But after Twin Moons in the Sky became a daily phenomenon, the Han Qi Pool slowly began to expand outwards, which no one noticed at first.
Until the Bing She Six-tailed Huan’s recently hatched young daughter was frozen to death in their home.
They then realized with horror that something was wrong.
Unbeknownst to them, the Chill had already encroached upon their living area.
Though newborn Transcendent creatures are many times stronger than human infants, they are still young, and their constitution is far from being able to withstand the extreme icy energy’s day and night erosion, even if they are naturally ice-attributed.
And so, she passed away.
Lan Yue mourned for a minute for her little sister whom she had never met.
“...Actually, it’s not just the expansion; the concentration and intensity of the Chill have also increased, but because this was a gradual process, although we felt something, it wasn’t strong, so we didn’t realize the seriousness of the situation.”
Mingxi was a little speechless.
She could only say that this pair of Bing She Six-tailed Huan were quite careless.
They couldn't see the Chill expanding.
They didn’t take the increasing Chill seriously.
And they put their newborn cub near the Han Qi Pool; how big-hearted were they?
Mingxi couldn't help but hug Lan Yue's neck beside her. Thankfully, her Lan Yue had been contracted by her before the Abyss Secret Realm became abnormal.
Otherwise, it might have also died because of this, as it was, after all, the least valued existence.
Thinking this, Mingxi instantly felt a lingering fear.
“Ling.”
Sensing her Beast Tamers’s tension, Lan Yue turned its head and rubbed against her, its ice-blue eyes as gentle as melting stream water.
“Linglingling.”
The bingji bell swayed like pure white lily-of-the-valley flowers, its sound clear and melodious, like a lyrical and graceful song.
The Bing She Six-tailed Huan couple looked at each other, the emotions in their eyes even more complex.
Because they had never heard such a beautiful and pure bell sound before.
It seemed that Little Seven had met a very, very good Beast Tamers, because it truly loved her.
The Ice Soul Lynx clan’s bell sound could not deceive anyone.
“Golden Yuanbao, Little Silver Flower, Emerald Green, you all stay here and don’t move. Getting too close to the Ice Extremity will not benefit you.”
Mingxi prepared to go in alone with Lan Yue.
Her physical stamina had reached A-level, and with some defensive items, she should be able to stay near the Han Qi Pool for a period of time.
Hearing her words, the male Bing She Six-tailed Huan suddenly cried out several times.
He said that this Chill had very likely ascended to Yuan Purity Ice.
Yuan Purity Ice is the advanced version of Ice Extremity, truly pure, unadulterated ice-attributed energy.
Previously, Yuan Hongye had speculated about Mingxi’s constitution and mentioned Meta-Clean Constitution.
This Yuan Purity and that Yuan Purity mean the same thing: the most ideal state, a concept of purity reaching 99.99%.
However, for an extreme attribute to advance to a Yuan Purity attribute, the difficulty is as high as a divine-level pet evolving to the next stage.
Mingxi had never encountered true Yuan Purity attribute energy.
But now, the Han Qi Pool was very likely to have advanced into a Yuan Purity Han Pool.
Awesome!
Lan Yue’s father and mother could now only barely approach within three meters of the Chill; any closer, and their energy circulation would become sluggish, and their bodies would freeze.
In other words, they believed that with Mingxi’s human physical stamina and constitution, it was unlikely she could withstand the Chill’s erosion; ten meters should already be her limit. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
“In that case, Lan Yue, I’m afraid I can’t accompany you further.”
If it truly was Yuan Purity attributed Chill, its power would definitely be beyond imagination.
Mingxi was not a [N O V E L I G H T] stubborn little monster.
Under these circumstances, she would absolutely not attempt the impossible.
“Ling.”
I can do it myself.
Mingxi nodded, taking out Flame Jade Fire Thorns and Ice Crystal Orchid Dream from the Time Realm.
Seeing these two materials, one red and one blue, exceptionally dazzling and flamboyant, the two Bing She Six-tailed Huan, already numb with shock, were astonished once again.
“Ice Seize?”
“Ling Ling.”
Without Golden Yuanbao’s translation, Mingxi could infer what they were saying from Lan Yue’s expression and the twisted facial expressions of its father, mother, siblings.
It was nothing more than the Bing She Six-tailed Huan asking: “What are these materials?”
And Lan Yue calmly replying: “SS-grade Ice Crystal Orchid Dream and SSS-grade Flame Jade Fire Thorns, my Beast Tamers specifically found them as auxiliary materials for my advancement to General-level.”
Even wild Transcendent creatures knew what SS-grade and SSS-grade represented.
As for how others viewed this display of swagger, Mingxi didn’t know, but she gave Lan Yue full marks. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Mingxi smiled. The young fellow was still young after all.
No matter how steady his personality, he couldn't help but want to show off a bit of vanity in front of the family who once trampled him into the mud.
Understandable.
