Chapter 62

When he saw the fiery dragon, Nie Tian's heart stirred, and he had already guessed why the Mystic Ice Python had targeted him.

He speculated that there must be a trace of the fiery dragon's aura on him.

The bone he possessed came from a fiery dragon...

Although he did not bring the bone into the Green Illusion Realm this time, he had repeatedly used his mental awareness to comprehend the bone's wonders in recent days, and his soul had entered the drop of blood within the bone several times, thus stepping into an unknown fiery world.

By constantly rubbing the bone and probing its mysteries with his soul, he might have picked up the fiery dragon's aura.

He even believed that the strength of his mental power was also related to his continuous perception of the bone and his soul's deep penetration into the fiery secret land.

A few days ago, he often released his mental awareness to sense the surroundings because he was worried that the Ghost Sect and Blood Sect members might come to kill him again.

The Mystic Ice Python likely detected a trace of the fiery dragon's aura through his mental awareness that permeated the surroundings.

Having roughly guessed the Mystic Ice Python's intentions, Nie Tian walked out of the crescent-shaped stone well and entered the vast stone hall.

He approached the stone pillar entwined by the fiery dragon, carefully observing the surroundings and looking at the other stone pillars nearby.

He noticed that the twelve stone pillars were entwined by different types of dragons.

Among them, six stone pillars were entwined by fiery dragons with flames rising around them.

The other six stone pillars were entwined by lifelike dragons with silver scales, which, upon closer inspection, were identical to the scales on the Mystic Ice Python.

"Ice Dragons?"

He stroked his chin, lost in thought, recalling what Pan Tao had said.

According to Pan Tao, the Mystic Ice Python was an ancient species, and some Mystic Ice Pythons might have a trace of the Mystic Ice Dragon's bloodline.

A Mystic Ice Python, as long as it had the Mystic Ice Dragon's bloodline, no matter how thin, could potentially awaken its bloodline and transform into a Mystic Ice Dragon.

The Mystic Ice Dragon, like the Fiery Dragon, was rumored to be one of the most powerful dragons in the ancient era!

"I have the fiery dragon's aura, and this Mystic Ice Python... must have the bloodline of an Ice Dragon. Moreover, after advancing to a third-level spirit beast, it should have gradually awakened its bloodline."

"It called me here, definitely wanting me to help it with something through the fiery dragon's aura on me."

"Otherwise, it would have killed me long ago and wouldn't have wasted so much energy bringing me here."

As he pondered, Nie Tian continued to observe his surroundings, seeking answers.

Then, he noticed a rhombus-shaped altar in the center of the twelve stone pillars.

The rhombus-shaped altar was built from dark brown stones, and there were many grooves on the altar, filled with luminous bones.

These bones emitted a bright light in the dim stone hall, clearly different from the bones he had seen before.

He knew that only the bones of high-level spirit beasts, which contained extremely abundant energy, could be as luminous as jade and continuously emit light.

The bones that could emit light must contain a vast amount of energy and were of great use.

The numerous grooves in the rhombus-shaped altar were arranged in a peculiar pattern, and each groove contained a bone that shimmered with colorful light.

The light indicated that the bones were full of energy.

"Twelve stone pillars, the altar inside the pillars, filled with energy-rich bones..."

"This is a spatial teleportation array!"

Nie Tian suddenly understood, realizing that the rhombus-shaped altar was clearly a unique spatial teleportation array.

The twelve stone pillars, the ice dragons and fiery dragons carved on them, the altar, and the energy-rich bones were all components of the spatial teleportation array!

In the next moment, he guessed the Mystic Ice Python's intention—it wanted to use the spatial teleportation array to leave the Green Illusion Realm!

"That's right, all the powerful spirit beasts in the Green Illusion Realm have been killed by the four sects. The Green Illusion Realm's spiritual energy is gradually depleting, making it unsuitable for any living being to cultivate long-term."

"The Mystic Ice Python must know that it is still alive only because the four sects deliberately allowed it to survive."

"Surviving in the Green Illusion Realm, it cannot continue to evolve and might even be killed by the sects' arranged trial participants. This is a dead end."

"Knowing it's a dead end, it naturally doesn't want to stay in the Green Illusion Realm, so it wants to leave."

"The hidden spatial teleportation array in the desert's underground is the key to its departure. It called me here, probably wanting me to help it."

"Otherwise, it would have already left the Green Illusion Realm and gone to a domain suitable for its continued evolution."

A series of thoughts rapidly flashed through Nie Tian's mind, and he became increasingly clear about the situation.

"Hisss!"

At this moment, the Mystic Ice Python flicked its tongue, spewing out icy mist from its mouth.

Six streams of icy mist were sprayed onto the six stone pillars entwined by ice dragons. The six stone pillars were instantly frozen, becoming as clear as ice jade.

The ice dragons on the ice pillars seemed to be activated after being touched by the cold mist.

A wave of intense cold emanated from the six ice pillars, making Nie Tian feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his teeth chattering.

He felt the temperature in the stone hall plummeting in a terrifying manner!

His bones, blood, and even his thoughts seemed to be affected.

He looked at the Mystic Ice Python in shock.

At this point, he saw only coldness in the Mystic Ice Python's eyes!

It seemed that if he didn't find a way to counteract the extreme cold, he would soon be turned into an ice sculpture that could never awaken.

"It's forcing me!"

Nie Tian instantly realized that the Mystic Ice Python was using a unique method to force him to act.

The only thing that could counteract the extreme cold was raging flames. Without intense heat, he would soon freeze to death!

He suddenly looked at the stone pillar beside him.

He realized that only by activating the fiery dragon on that pillar and making it release a surge of flames could he survive.

As the cold in the stone hall intensified, he found that his ability to think was also being affected.

If he couldn't quickly find a solution, he might soon be unable to continue thinking.

He pressed his hand against the stone pillar!

His mental awareness, which he had cultivated over the past few days, flowed into the stone pillar entwined by the fiery dragon like a stream of water.

The moment his mental awareness entered the stone pillar, he suddenly saw a flash of crimson firelight within the fiery dragon on the pillar.

In the next moment, a surge of intense flames erupted from the carved fiery dragon!

"Boom!"

The entire stone pillar suddenly burst into fierce flames, which immediately raised the temperature in the stone hall.

Not far away, the Mystic Ice Python, coiled around another stone pillar, had its eyes shining with intense excitement.

Then, an even more bone-chilling cold emanated from the six stone pillars entwined by ice dragons.

Nie Tian immediately realized that activating just one pillar was not enough to resist the cold in the stone hall.

Without hesitation, he redirected his mental awareness to the other five stone pillars entwined by fiery dragons.

His mental awareness, like a fuse, instantly brought the fiery dragons carved on the pillars to life.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The other five stone pillars trembled slightly and then also burst into intense flames.

Thus, the stone hall had six ice pillars releasing cold and six fire pillars releasing intense heat.

The cold and heat, two opposing forces, clashed in the stone hall and then suddenly poured into the central altar.

The luminous bones in the grooves of the altar suddenly shattered!

Countless points of light and fire flew out from the shattered bones and converged in the altar.

Soon, a strange, colorful light screen formed in the altar.

The light screen continuously twisted and changed, resembling a mysterious door.

"Rustle!"

Only at this moment did the Mystic Ice Python, with the Mystic Ice Dragon's bloodline, wriggle and quickly rush toward the colorful light screen.

Approaching the light screen, the clearly intelligent Mystic Ice Python gave Nie Tian a final glance before diving into the light screen.

"Boom!"

As it entered the light screen, the bizarrely formed light screen suddenly shattered, turning into a shower of colorful light.

The twelve stone pillars, releasing extreme cold and intense heat, instantly stopped when the light screen shattered.
