The Empress of Ten Reincarnations Just to Find Me

Chapter 45: Two Directions of the Nine-Aperture Linglong Technique

Chen Han flew towards the bottom of the crack. At first, he felt okay. The cold air only made him a little cold. He could still control the flying direction and speed freely.

But as he explored deeper and deeper, the cold became more and more intense, like layers of icy gauze constantly wrapping around him, and soon it reached the point where he had to use his body's protective energy for protection.

The pale blue light of the protective energy seemed faint in this icy environment, as if it would be swallowed by the intense cold at any moment. Chen Han gritted his teeth, concentrating on maintaining the circulation of his energy to fight the biting cold.

Not long after, Chen Han arrived below. All around him was a thick layer of ice. Illuminated by the cold light, the ice glowed with a faint blue luster, like giant magic mirrors. Countless animal bones lay on the ice, and a chill swirled around it.

Sometimes it condenses into a dreamy mist, and the whole scene looks like a fairyland, but it also exudes a coldness and danger that makes people dare not approach easily.

Chen Han slowly landed on a relatively open ice surface. As soon as his feet touched the ground, the coldness penetrated the protective force of his energy and suddenly rushed from the soles of his feet to his whole body. He couldn't help but shiver.

He couldn't help but look forward. He saw a fissure that continued to extend downwards. Strands of cold air surged out of the fissure, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open, constantly spewing out cold air.

Chen Han knew in his heart that he couldn't go any deeper. Firstly, the cold was too strong. Even if he used all his strength to activate his body's protective energy, he felt that he was about to be unable to resist it.

Secondly, he also knew that he had just entered the Yuanbing realm and his flying endurance was limited. Now, after this flight exploration, his endurance was almost insufficient.

If he continued to go deeper, this icy land was vast and boundless, and he might not find a place like this to rest his feet. If his energy ran out mid-flight, he would plummet to the ground, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, at this moment, Chen Han could only quit while he was ahead.

Chen Han stood on the ice, looking at the dreamlike yet extremely dangerous scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Why is there such a place here?"

"This is a good place. What are you doing here?" Mingjie's voice came.

"I'm planning to improve the properties of the Nine Apertures Exquisite Skill. Currently, my Nine Apertures Exquisite Skill only has a single wood attribute, which is far too limited. Just now, while flying overhead, I noticed the extremely dense cold air below. I'm thinking that if I can absorb and transform this cold attribute, perhaps I can make the Nine Apertures Exquisite Skill even more complete, beyond being limited to a single wood attribute."

"I just didn't expect it to be so cold down there, and it took quite a while to get down here. Now I don't dare go any deeper."

At this time, the Dark Ring slipped out from the mirror and turned into a faint light and shadow. After hovering beside Chen Han for a moment, it began to float slowly and looked around.

Its ethereal form seemed quite mysterious in this icy, blue-glowing environment. After taking a look around, it spoke.

"You were right not to go any deeper. There must be something fishy going on down there."

"This place is so strange, and the cold air is so intense. I'm sure someone must have explored it long ago. After all, this is just the outskirts. It would be strange if such a conspicuous place had never been explored. But in my opinion, most of those previous explorers probably returned empty-handed, otherwise this place wouldn't have remained in this state."

After hearing what Mingjie said, Chen Han nodded slightly. He tightened his energy protection and his gaze lingered for a moment on the animal bones on the ice.

Next, Chen Han no longer hesitated. He immediately sat cross-legged, quickly adjusted his state, and began to practice the Nine Apertures Linglong Jue with all his strength.

As the technique was practiced, he could clearly feel that the Nine Apertures Linglong Jue in his body seemed to become excited all of a sudden, like a starving person seeing delicious food, and began to impatiently absorb the surrounding cold air and elemental power.

Strands of cold air gathered towards Chen Han like silver snakes. As soon as the icy breath entered, Chen Han's body suddenly stiffened, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, continuing to guide the cold air to flow through his body according to the operation route of the Nine Apertures Linglong Jue.

At the same time, the surrounding ice and other elemental forces contained in the air were also drawn together, interweaving with the cold air to form a strange energy flow that shuttled and merged in Chen Han's body.

"This extremely cold and icy land is suitable for people who practice water and ice attribute skills, but you, a freak, don't seem to be picky about the environment." Mingjie said as he checked the situation from the side.

At this moment, in Chen Han's body, the cold attribute power absorbed from the outside world and the wood attribute power originally in the Nine Apertures Linglong Jue were colliding and merging violently.

Chen Han clearly realized that he now had two different ways of storing elements in the Jiuqiao Linglong Jue to choose from.

One option is to store these two distinct forces separately. This might preserve the purity of each attribute, allowing for more targeted use in the future. However, this requires extremely precise control, precisely demarcating their respective areas to ensure they do not interfere or conflict with each other.

The second option is to blend these forces together. This means that the two attributes will completely blend, potentially giving rise to a new and more unique form of power. However, this also carries considerable risk. If the fusion process deviates, the two forces will conflict with each other, potentially causing serious damage to one's own meridians and even the entire operation of the technique.

Chen Han closed his eyes tightly, the veins on his forehead bulged slightly, and he concentrated on feeling the dynamics of the two forces in his body, weighing the pros and cons of the two methods in his mind.

He was also shocked by the compatibility of the Nine Apertures Linglong Jue. Not only could it accommodate multiple elements, but it could even mix multiple elements together. This was truly too incredible.

At this moment, Chen Han still didn't know that the two choices of cultivation before him would affect every step and combination of his moves in the future...

At this time, Chen Han was in a deep dilemma. The two choices were like weights on both ends of a scale, each with its own temptations, making it difficult for him to make a decision.

He knew very well that if the elements were mixed together and successfully fused, the new form of power that would emerge might allow him to surprise his opponent in battle and become incredibly powerful, but the risks involved were like a sharp blade hanging over his head, which could fall at any time and cause irreversible consequences.

After all, if more and more elements are absorbed in the future, the characteristics of each element will become more different, and the possibility of unexpected conflicts will be higher, causing unimaginable consequences.

After all, Mingjie said that a genius who died halfway was never a strong man.

While choosing to combine the elements separately might not immediately yield the powerful and unique power of fusion, it does ensure the purity of each element, allowing for more precise and targeted use later. It's like carefully storing different weapons separately, allowing them to be accurately retrieved and used when needed, unleashing their full potential.

After a difficult weighing of the pros and cons, Chen Han finally gritted his teeth and decided to combine the elements separately.
