Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

One of the Five Great Divine Palaces, the Ice Divine Temple.

It is located to the north of Tiandu Mountain, in the direction of the Ziwei Star among the Beidou Seven Stars.

It is reputed to be the most important peak of Tiandu Mountain.

Throughout the year, above the middle of the mountain, the snow accumulates perennially, never melting.

Inside the Ice Divine Temple.

The vast hall was empty, devoid of people.

Fang Yu led everyone into the hall.

Everyone was shocked by the majestic ice pillars inside the Ice Divine Temple.

They looked around...

Just like Fang Yu said before, every structure on Tiandu Mountain was enveloped in a mysterious aura.

"The carvings on the wall seem to be secret cultivation techniques."

"Don't look further... if it's so conspicuous here, it's probably already been largely mastered by the people of the Ice Divine Temple."

"Tsk tsk tsk... I originally thought that the Tiandu Hall was grand enough, but I didn't expect the Ice Divine Temple to be so imposing."

Inside the hall.

All was eerily quiet.

The discussions among the people echoed.

"You all think too simply of the Ice Divine Temple, these patterns engraved here, some are arrays, some are restrictions, and even if there are cultivation techniques, they are not something that ordinary people can practice. Long ago, before they were called divine palaces, human cultivators referred to them as ancient temples. However, feeling that these five palaces were too mysterious, they were named divine palaces. The names often changed with the eras... Until the Dragon Emperor Era, the Ice Divine Palace successfully received the Divine Statue's baptism, and it was renamed as Ice Divine Palace."

"Many have studied these arrays and secret techniques, but very few have truly understood them. Countless cultivators have tried to seize control over the grand hall... As generations passed, only the strong had the privilege to sit here. During the Ancient Times, powerful cultivators often appeared, attempting to seize the grand hall... but in recent thousands of years, such incidents have gradually decreased."

The speaker was Fu Xi.

Fu Xi is a close friend of the Dragon Emperor and has a deeper understanding of the Five Great Divine Palaces than anyone present.

Everyone nodded.

They stopped in their tracks.

For a moment, the entire hall quieted down.

Fang Yu, who was at the front, raised his hand and said, "Chen Daotian, Ye Wenjun, Xu Sisi, Shangguan Linghui... Lin Weifeng, Xu Huawen, Ping Wenfu, the Gu brothers, Fu Xi... and Tuoba Yong... bring the Ice Woman and follow me in, the rest of you stay here in the hall and don't wander around."

Everyone looked at each other.

They didn't know why they had to wait here.

Fu Xi chastised them, saying: "This Ice Divine Hall is an excellent place for cultivation. Martial Artists absorb Spiritual Energy, having the opportunity to become cultivators. Cultivators draw Spiritual Energy, and it is extremely easy to achieve breakthroughs in this environment. Mr. Fang is giving you a chance, don't fail to appreciate it!"

Upon hearing this.

Everyone was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang!"

They then each found a corner in the hall to sit down cross-legged and cultivate.

Fu Xi said loudly, "Other than this hall, don't go anywhere else… otherwise, if something happens, no one can save you."

Having been reminded, everyone shivered and became more obedient.

The more mysterious and profound the place, the more dangers it harbored.

Most of them were weak, not daring to wander rashly.

...

At the end of the hall.

The inner door creaked open.

Fang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, confidently walking in, saying, "This door leads to the Divine Statue... it usually isn't open. This time it's an emergency... I brought you here to open your eyes."

Chen Daotian laughed, "Yu bro, I simply love you…"

Fang Yu glanced at him and said, "You cultivated the Dark Scripture, so the baptism of the Divine Statue in the Dark Temple will be inherited by you."

Upon hearing this.

Chen Daotian was startled and said, "Really? What if it fails?"

"If it fails, just try again! The Dark Scripture has a natural advantage. Others, if they fail, have no chance to try again, but you can."

Chen Daotian nodded excitedly, "Alright, I understand."

Xu Huawen was stunned for a moment and said, "If he can, I think I can too... Five divine statues, surely I can succeed with one, right?"

The group discussed as they walked.

Before Fang Yu could speak,

Fu Xi opened his mouth and said, "Divine statue baptism allows everyone an opportunity to attempt. Once successful, the energy of the divine statue will be absorbed. The next person who wants to undergo baptism by the same statue will have to wait a hundred or even a thousand years until the statue's energy is restored before attempting baptism again."

"That means, if no one succeeds in the baptism, we can keep trying until we succeed?" Xu Huawen excitedly asked.

"Correct... But, the process of baptism is extremely painful, and one careless move could reduce you back to square one. If you're not afraid, you can keep trying... Over the past thousands of years, many cultivators have attempted to receive divine statue baptisms and ended up crippled!" Fu Xi said with a smile.

"Crippled?!"

Xu Huawen's mouth gaped open and he swallowed hard.

Just then.

The front lit up.

A vast icy world.

Chen Daotian shivered and said, "It's really cold."

"The Ice Divine Temple, it truly is a world of ice. I guess the energy of the divine statues will also have an ice attribute, we should give up." Xu Huawen said.

Fang Yu said, "You're right, those with incompatible attributes should not even think about it. Xu Sisi, Shangguan Linghui, and Ye Wenjun can give it a try."

Ye Wenjun was surprised and said, "Wasn't I supposed to receive Daoyun's Primordial Qi?"

"This doesn't conflict."

Fang Yu waved his hand.

The brothers with the surname Gu placed down the ice block containing Xie Daoyun.

"Everyone else step back, Wenjun stay."

The people scattered around.

Ping Wenfu placed the Blood-Melting Grass in his hand down and said, "Sir, here is the Blood-Melting Grass, just in case."

"Um."

Fang Yu nodded, his gaze landing on the ice block.

Through the transparent ice, he could clearly see Xie Daoyun's peerless beauty, and he sighed inwardly, thinking, obviously, you knew I am not the true Dragon Emperor, you would rather self-destruct than change your stance...

Raising his hand, Fang Yu activated his Primordial Qi.

Everyone watched intently.

Having stayed in the Manzhuan Secret Realm for almost seventy years, Fang Yu's Great Harmony Qi had long since become the purest Vast Righteous Energy.

This Primordial Qi, unlike the usual Inner Essence, even a slight activation was enough to change the temperature of the surroundings.

"Wenjun, brace the ice block with both hands!"

"Um." Ye Wenjun nodded, moved to the front of the ice block, and stretched out a pair of jade hands to push forward.

Despite mastering the Cold Attribute Inner Essence, she still felt the bone-chilling cold as soon as she touched the ice block.

"Don't be distracted, this is near the Ice Divine Temple's divine statue. In other words, the Ice Woman's power here increases manifold. Don't be careless."

"Um." Ye Wenjun was shocked internally.

This was once the territory of Xie Daoyun.

Here, even the Dragon Emperor dared not say he could definitely defeat Xie Daoyun.

It shows how high her cultivation was.

Drip.

Drip.

The ice began to melt.
