Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 543 - 559: The Barrier Beneath the Cold Pool

Chu Linfeng slowly infused the Wood Element into Young Master Feiyu's body, but his eyes were examining the Cold Pool. This Cold Pool was surprisingly several dozen square meters, and inside it, there were dozens of Holy Jade Snow Lotuses.

However, he noticed that the lotus flowers of these Holy Jade Snow Lotuses did not have seven-colored petals, which means these Holy Jade Snow Lotuses have not matured. Even if he obtained them now, they would be useless.

Feeling a bit disappointed in his heart, he couldn't help but ask the Sword Spirit, "Sister Yue'Er, when will these Holy Jade Snow Lotuses show seven-colored petals? Can I pick some?"

"Lin Feng, you always have this impatient temperament. You rush things too much. This is a rare Cold Glass Land. It's a miracle for the Holy Jade Snow Lotus to appear here. From my observation, a seven-color Holy Jade Snow Lotus should appear in this Cold Pool soon, so you need to be patient and wait," said the Sword Spirit.

"Cold Glass Land? What kind of place is this? Could it hold some treasure?" Chu Linfeng eagerly asked, completely in the dark about what the Sword Spirit was talking about.

"That's right. There should be a treasure of Heaven and Earth here, and if you're lucky, you might obtain it. But you need to wait for a while, and for now, it's better to heal this guy first. Not everyone can enter this place's Cold Qi. Even the Carefree Palace Master might be in danger here," the Sword Spirit said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Linfeng was startled. If even the Carefree Palace Master was in danger, then Qing Ruming was even more at risk. Yet, aside from the cold, there didn't seem to be anything terribly frightening here.

"Lin Feng, I know you're puzzled. Using Water Transformation, you naturally won't feel it. If you don't try now, know that there's a terrifying Li Flame Frost Astral here. When it appears, even a Fifth Layer of Saint Martial Realm expert would freeze into an ice block. The Profound Ice on them can't be chipped away, and its hardness is no less than the rocks in a Space Black Hole.

The rocks outside this cave are the result of the Li Flame Frost Astral appearing. Do you understand now?" the Sword Spirit supplemented.

Chu Linfeng nodded and continued to infuse the Wood Element into Young Master Feiyu's body, stopping only when the Sword Spirit told him to. He then lifted Young Master Feiyu out of the Cold Pool.

At that moment, Young Master Feiyu was truly an ice block. Except for a faint Energy Fluctuation at his heart, the rest of his body was completely stiff, indistinguishable from a dead person.

Chu Linfeng then asked the Sword Spirit, "When can I heal him? The longer this takes, the more dangerous it should be for him, right?"

"No rush. To heal him, at least one day and night is needed. Only when the Poisonous Gu is completely frozen into a solid mass can you save him. For now, find a safe place to put him. The Li Flame Frost Astral appears at night. If you encounter it, no matter how strong you are, you cannot save him," the Sword Spirit said.

Chu Linfeng stood up and, after searching around the cave, found a two-meter-wide crevice behind an Ice Pillar not far away. Placing Young Master Feiyu here should shield him from the Li Flame Frost Astral, as the Ice Pillar in front would block it if it appeared. He then moved Young Master Feiyu behind the Ice Pillar and once again entered the Cold Pool.

The water in the Cold Pool wasn't very deep, reaching only to his waist at the deepest. Perhaps only Chu Linfeng dared to roam in this Cold Pool, knowing it wasn't ordinary water. The water here, known as Cold Glaze Water, was colder than ordinary Cold Flame.

Chu Linfeng naturally wasn't aware of this. Water Transformation made him feel nothing at all. He slowly submerged into the Cold Glaze Water to examine the roots of the Holy Jade Snow Lotuses.

After examining several Holy Jade Snow Lotuses, he discovered something important: every blooming Holy Jade Snow Lotus had part of its lotus root emerging, with each having a different color.

Most curiously, beneath the surface where these roots grew wasn't the usual lotus mud but very hard Profound Ice, which felt to Chu Linfeng as definitely harder than the rocks outside.

The world is full of wonders. Lotus roots growing in ice might be unheard of, yet this sight was plainly before him.

He tried using the Cyan Frost Sword to break the ice layer, wondering if there was any reaction. If someday a real seven-color Holy Jade Snow Lotus appeared and he couldn't break the ice to get it, that would be troublesome. It was better to think of a method now to avoid a rush later.

Though the Cyan Frost Sword was incredibly sharp, against the ice layer below the Cold Glaze Water, it was like weak metal, unable to make a dent.

"Lin Feng, breaking this ice layer requires very strong Attack Power. Don't waste effort on that; instead, carefully observe what's under the Cold Glaze Water. There might be unexpected surprises for you," the Sword Spirit said.

Chu Linfeng felt encouraged and began using Divine Sense to examine it. Checking with Divine Sense in the Cold Glaze Water consumed a lot of Power of Soul, but since the Sword Spirit mentioned surprises, he was determined not to give up.

Every Holy Jade Snow Lotus beneath the Cold Glaze Water was checked multiple times, yet nothing surprising was found. Just as Chu Linfeng was about to give up, he sensed a blurry Barrier in a corner of the Cold Pool.

This discovery intrigued him, so he quickly went to that corner and touched the area he sensed, only to be rebounded back.

"There's really a Barrier here? Could this be the treasure of Heaven and Earth the Sword Spirit mentioned, or the true origin of the Holy Jade Snow Lotus?" Chu Linfeng murmured to himself.

However, he was clueless about Barriers and could only depend on the Sword Spirit to handle such complex issues. So he asked, "Sister Yue'Er, how do I break this Barrier?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"You're clever to notice this Barrier. It's a natural one, and without careful sensing, you wouldn't find it. But now's not the time to break it. Just know that something you need is inside that Barrier," the Sword Spirit said.

"What thing? Is it the seven-color Holy Jade Snow Lotus?" Chu Linfeng asked immediately.

"Almost. You should check on that guy's condition. This observation took quite some time. It's about time to remove the Poisonous Gu from him," the Sword Spirit said.

Chu Linfeng hadn't realized he'd been examining for a whole day and night, which was quite frightening. He quickly exited the Cold Pool and headed toward the large Ice Pillar in front of Young Master Feiyu… (Continue at dawn, three updates!)
