I Have a Compass for Opportunity

The walls and floor of the corridor are made of crystal-clear ice, with ice crystals embedded on the ice walls radiating a mysterious light, making the entire corridor as bright as daylight.

The piercing cold attacked Liou Yuan’s body the moment it was exposed to the air, rushing from all directions.

Luckily, after cultivating the Geng Metal Refining Form Skill, his blood energy was robust enough; a tremor shook his body, and the blood energy surged out to isolate the cold.

Liou Hongjun stood at the transport array of the corridor, not daring to step down, cautiously speaking: "Patriarch, I will escort you only this far. The Liou Family has rules; only the Patriarch can enter the forbidden land."

Saying this, Liou Hongjun glanced at Liou Yuan, seemingly hinting that Liou Yuan should not venture in either.

Liou Zhen did not care about the rules, lightly saying: "Xiao Yuan, follow me."

Saying this, he took the lead and walked ahead.

Liou Yuan naturally caught up, smiling, as the benefits of his eldest brother becoming the patriarch were already showing.

Liou Hongjun opened his mouth, hesitated but didn’t dare to say another word, only shaking his head on the transport array.

Walking along the ice path, soon the view opened up before them.

A giant ice lake appeared in sight.

The surface of the ice lake was smooth as a mirror, emitting abundant ice-cold Spiritual Qi, which gathered to form a thin mist floating above the lake.

At the center of the ice lake, there was a small ice island, atop which grew an unusual ice tree, its trunk and branches made of ice crystals, with ice flowers hanging from the branches.

Tap tap~

Liou Yuan’s footsteps echoed on the ice surface of the lake, ringing throughout the deathly silent forbidden land.

Soon, the brothers crossed the ice lake and stepped onto the ice island.

Following Liou Zhen, the brothers paused before the ice crystal tree.

Underneath the roots of the ice crystal tree, as can be seen, a colossal ice coffin occupied the center of this forbidden land.

The identity of the person in the coffin, of course, needs no further explanation.

"Our Ice Vein ancestor, one of the Supreme Elders of Five Extremes Mountain, Liou Ze." Liou Yuan reverently bowed to the ice coffin.

Liou Ze was truly the ancestor of the Ice Vein, equivalent to the progenitor of this realm.

Liou Zhen did not bow, but instead, upon arriving under the ice crystal tree, his eyes immediately fixed on the canopy of this towering hundred-feet-high ice crystal tree.

There, two yard-long ice crystal flowers were in bloom, each with a space within the blossoms that could hold items.

One of the ice crystal flowers was empty.

Inside another ice crystal flower, an item was displayed.

Liou Yuan speculated that the item that vanished from the ice crystal flower was likely the Liou Family Ice Vein’s inheritance, the Taichu Ice Mirror.

As for the remaining treasure, why Liou Hexuan did not take it remains unknown.

Liou Yuan exercised his eyesight, examining the remaining treasure.

It seemed to be a Magical Artifact, like a knife or a sword.

Yet the blade was not metallic, but formed of exceptionally pure ice crystals.

The ice crystal was transparent to the point of nearly being invisible, but within it, a faint blue spiritual light flowed subtly.

The spiritual light seemed alive, occasionally flickering and flowing.

Inlaid in the hilt was a deep blue gemstone the size of a fist, with strands of white cold air intertwining and moving within.

When Liou Yuan gazed at the Magical Artifact, he instantly felt a vast and biting killing intent envelop him.

The aura was like a winter storm, bearing endless cold and severity.

Just a glance caused Liou Yuan’s skin to uncontrollably cover in frost.

The power of the cold seemed capable of freezing all vitality, instantly locking Liou Yuan’s Spiritual Power, immobilizing even his limbs.

"This!" Liou Yuan exclaimed in shock.

Liou Zhen, who had been observing Liou Yuan closely, intervened in due time, lightly tapping Liou Yuan’s shoulder.

The invading chill in Liou Yuan’s body was immediately absorbed by the palm resting on his shoulder.

At that moment, Liou Zhen’s calm voice emerged in the forbidden land: "This sword is named ’Cangxue’, the life-bound golden tool of Ice Vein ancestor Liou Ze."

"As I suspected, Liou Hexuan could take the Taichu Ice Mirror but not this ’Cangxue’."

"Golden Core Magical Artifact!" Liou Yuan revealed an expression of understanding.

Only a Magical Artifact of such caliber could instill fear at the mere sight of it.

Simultaneously, Liou Yuan understood why Liou Zhen’s first action upon arriving at Xiang Mountain was to visit the forbidden land.

It was not to check if the Taichu Ice Mirror was still there, but to inspect the Cangxue Sword.

"This Cangxue Sword is fitting for eldest brother." Liou Yuan earnestly responded to Liou Zhen.

Perhaps due to an ethereal sense, when he saw the Cangxue Sword, he felt it should be hung at Liou Zhen’s waist.

"The ancestral teachings state that to wield this Cangxue Sword, one must meet three criteria."

Liou Zhen, staring at the Cangxue Sword, gradually explained to Liou Yuan: "First, one’s cultivation must reach the Golden Core Realm."

"Second, one must cultivate the Taichu Ice Mirror."

"Third, one must possess the Ice Vein bloodline."

"I cannot lift it, nor can Liou Hexuan carry it away."

"No wonder!" Liou Yuan’s face lit up with understanding.

Evidently, Liou Hexuan simply could not take the Cangxue Sword, despite wanting to.

Similarly, Liou Zhen right now also cannot lift the Cangxue.

"Unable to lift it now does not mean it’s impossible later."

"My eldest brother is immensely gifted, perfectly inheriting the Liou Family ancestor’s golden core bloodline. One day, this Cangxue Sword will be lifted by him."

Liou Yuan thought truthfully.

As for himself, he clearly belonged to the ordinary class of Ice Vein offspring, relying entirely on the Fixed Star Compass to achieve what he has today.

Liou Zhen had come to the forbidden land this time mainly to confirm the Cangxue Sword remained.
