Chapter 126
If there were to be another Blood Phoenix Essence...
In today's Central Shenzhou, she would undoubtedly be the best of the best.
The next ranking is just ten days away.
"This time..."
Ying Bing slowly rose to her feet, her entire being seemed to don the resplendent feathers of a phoenix, noble and mysterious. As her three thousand strands of hair swayed gently, they radiated a shimmering glow.
It felt as if an ancient true phoenix had descended, transforming into a divine maiden.
She would win.
With the aura of the phoenix enveloping the ice cream at the corner of the wall, she pushed the door open.
"...Did you add special effects?"
Li Mo was nearly blinded by the brilliance.
What the heck.
After practicing, how did the ice block look like it had been enhanced with a million special effects?
Li Mo took a while to regain his composure.
He was pondering.
Why could the ice block possess both strength and beauty?
Why was he only able to choose one?
"Ice Cream."
With her delicate hand, she picked up a SpongeBob and placed it in his palm.
"Wow."
Li Mo had originally wanted to eat Patrick.
He liked watermelon.
However.
As he took a lick of this SpongeBob, he realized something was off.
Hmm?
Why did this ice cream taste so good?
Moreover...
After licking it, he felt a sensation in his dantian, as if he had encountered a sweet rain, bubbling with joy.
Even his Xuan Dan seemed to solidify a bit.
"What did you make this SpongeBob with?"
"Emperor's Flowing Juice."
Ying Bing tucked her hair behind her ear and gently picked up a Patrick.
"......"
Li Mo was momentarily speechless.
"Is it good?" Ying Bing asked.
"......"
Little Li didn't know what to say.
Ying Bing raised her gaze, looking at him earnestly, the morning light spilling into her eyes, creating a mesmerizing glow that was hard to look at.
She repeated:
"Is it good?"
"....."
Li Mo's feelings were complicated:
"It's good, thanks."
"Mm."
Only then did Ying Bing bring the Patrick to her lips, gently licking it twice.
How exquisite.
The cold and sacred aura around her, with lips like shattered jade parting slightly, licking the ice pop seriously, created quite a contrast.
The two of them sat in silence, leaning against the corridor, enjoying their ice pops.
After a while.
A cautious voice came from behind.
"I say, I might have come at the wrong time."
Old Xiao's lips twitched:
"But we really should get going."
A moment later.
The three of them arrived at the entrance of Dongli Manor.
Xue Jing distributed some pills to everyone, some for detoxification, some for healing.
Yin Hua Xuan's expression was much darker than before, but he still fulfilled his duty, explaining the types of exotic beasts they might encounter after entering the secret realm.
Qian Bufan stepped forward, sharing some precautions and offering encouragement, urging everyone to help each other in the secret realm.
Indeed.
The Blood Phoenix Secret Realm was no benevolent place.
Not only were there dangers inherent to the secret realm itself, but one also had to be wary of the human heart, which could be even more terrifying.
After all, within the secret realm, no one cared about your background; if you were killed, you were killed, and tracing the matter would be extremely difficult.
Thus, they could only rely on each other for help.
Li Mo's "yes" was particularly loud.
Once the preparations were complete.
Qian Bufan summoned a war chariot from the Xumi realm, allowing everyone to board.
This war chariot consumed a lot of energy, but it was imposing enough to intimidate some petty thieves.
........
This chapter isn't over; please click the next page to continue reading!
After about ten minutes.
The massive war chariot arrived at the foot of Hongfeng Mountain.
At this moment, the mountain was bustling with people, quite lively, and Qingyuan Sect had arrived relatively late.
Ying Bing stood tall with her sword, attracting countless gazes.
Meanwhile, Li Mo activated his Destiny Divine Eye, scanning the crowd as streams of information flowed before his eyes.
He recorded everything while feeling a bit puzzled.
Still, there was no one named Han Zhen.
With the secret realm about to open, everyone who should be here should have arrived.
If Han Zhen wanted to enter the secret realm, he should be here by now.
But.
If he hadn't entered the secret realm, why did the ice block warn him to be cautious of him?
Very strange.
"Ah... the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm."
"I hope this time, I can break through to the Jade Liquid Realm!"
Xiao Qin clenched his fist, motivating himself.
"Don't even mention that Blood Phoenix Essence; if you can find a few accompanying spiritual items, that would be a tremendous opportunity."
Qian Xing Wuzun chuckled in his heart.
"Master, I will definitely find the Phoenix Blood Spirit Grass for you!"
Xiao Qin's eyes shone brightly.
The Phoenix Blood Spirit Grass was crucial for his master to regain his physical form; using other rare treasures would yield far inferior results.
This kind of spiritual grass could only be found in the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm; if he missed this opportunity, who knows when he would get another chance.
"Having that intention is good; your strength in the secret realm can only be considered at the lower tier."
Qian Xing Wuzun's tone was complex; he longed for the Phoenix Blood Spirit Grass but feared for his disciple's safety.
After pondering for a moment, he said:
"If you have the chance, stick close to Li Xiaoyou; it will be much safer, and you might gain more."
"Mm!"
Xiao Qin nodded vigorously.
He was resilient by nature, not foolish.
Why not cling to a strong ally?
After a stick of incense.
Boom—
It was the sound of the stone door opening, accompanied by a resounding phoenix cry that echoed through the heavens.
The entire mountain seemed to tremble.
And at a cave resembling a bird's beak on Hongfeng Mountain, a seductive red glow was emanating.
Countless people turned to look, their faces filled with fervor.
The secret realm had opened!
Everyone had the chance to seize opportunities, to rise and soar, and to write their own legends in the heavens and earth.
Even Ying Bing's gaze turned serious.
"Ah..."
"What a grand undertaking."
Little Li stretched his body.
He had only one thought in mind.
After collecting investment targets for so long, today was finally the day to get started.
Of course, the main event was still the ice block.
To be safe, he activated his Destiny Divine Eye one last time, focusing on Ying Bing.

Chapter 125: The Ice Block Faces Dangerous Trials - One Person's Success, Thousands of Bones Crumble
Stepping into the glowing portal.
Before him appeared:
【Name: Ying Bing】
【Age: 16】
【Root Bone: Taiyin Moon Phoenix Body.】
【Realm: Inner Breath Jade Liquid Realm.】
【Destiny: Red (Bearing the Emperor's Bone, Xuan Bing as fate, Qiu Shui as spirit, possessing the appearance of a phoenix).】
【Evaluation: Fate is fraught with tribulations, yet she can always turn misfortune into fortune. At this moment, her feathers are not yet full; when the winds and clouds change, she will surely soar high in the heavens, the phoenix gracing the six realms.】
【Recent Encounter: Failed to seize the Blood Phoenix Essence and will be severely injured upon entering the third layer of the secret realm.】
"!!?"
Standing at the entrance of the secret realm, Li Mo's pupils trembled slightly.
Was the system malfunctioning?
In this secret realm, the highest level was only the God Observation Realm.
She would fail and be injured?
"Ying..."
He hadn't even finished the word.
Suddenly, the blood-red light at the entrance surged violently, enveloping everyone present and pulling them in.
......
The blood-red light resembled countless bubbles.
It carried everyone through boundless darkness, depositing them in different locations.
When they opened their eyes again, it felt as if they were in an ancient battlefield.
This expanse was vast and boundless, the sky dim like it had wept, with chilling winds and eerie cries of lost souls, sending shivers down their spines.
It seemed that a brutal battle had once taken place here.
Before the battle, this place resembled a forest, but now it was left with countless blackened branches, silently reaching out to the sky like claws.
"The Blood Phoenix Secret Realm is no benevolent place."
Li Mo felt the karma fire in his dantian stirring restlessly.
The karma fire reacts only to places of great danger or to those of extreme malice.
Under normal circumstances.
As long as he didn’t pull out a hammer, Ying Bing should have no rivals in this secret realm.
This meant that she had encountered some other unforeseen circumstances.
And this change was likely related to the secret realm itself?
Crack—
Li Mo pondered as he stepped down, crushing a piece of beast bone underfoot, the sound crisp.
"The elemental energy here is indeed much richer than outside?"
"Could it be because of that... Blood Phoenix Essence?"
Just as he was thinking this.
Suddenly, the heavens trembled, and the once dim stars began to shine.
On the boundless sky, massive characters appeared in iron-clad strokes, visible to all.
【Heaven and Earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs.】
【To achieve martial arts, one person's success means the bones of thousands will crumble!】
