In the cold land, Li Lingyuan not only encountered attacks from the giant ice phoenix, but also faced many severe tests.

As she entered this icy realm, she first encountered the ice's cracking traps. The seemingly solid surface concealed countless crisscrossing cracks, which suddenly widened as she stepped, releasing a biting cold wind and sharp ice spikes. Li Lingyuan must constantly concentrate, harnessing her spiritual power to sense the dangers beneath the icy surface. Every step was a delicate one; a single misstep could lead to being swallowed by the cracks and severely injured by the ice spikes.

Then, a pack of direwolves appeared in her sight. Their snow-white fur blended seamlessly with the ice, their eyes gleaming a cold blue. They moved swiftly and in perfect unison. They fanned across the icy plain, their breath condensing into an icy mist that obscured Li Lingyuan's vision. The direwolves' attack was swift and fierce, leaping towards her, their sharp claws and teeth flashing in the cold. Li Lingyuan struggled to withstand the cold's restrictions on her movements while also managing the direwolves' siege. She channeled her spiritual power to form an ice shield around her body, shielding herself from the cold and engaging the direwolves, looking for an opportunity to strike back.

Then, a rain of ice arrows rained down from the sky. Countless ice arrows, condensed from pure ice element, shot towards Li Lingyuan like meteors. Their speed and power were immense, each powerful enough to pierce the solid ice. Li Lingyuan quickly erected her spiritual shield. The ice arrows struck it with a crisp sound, sending up a shower of icy flowers. She continuously strengthened the shield, casting spells in an attempt to redirect the ice arrows' trajectory. However, the rain of ice arrows seemed endless, and her spiritual power gradually dwindled with the constant consumption. She had to find a way to break through before her spiritual power was exhausted, or she would be overwhelmed by the rain of ice arrows.

Li Lingyuan dragged her exhausted body, step by step, towards the depths of the sacred mountain. In a quiet valley, a white-haired old man suddenly appeared before her. The old man had a peaceful face, but his eyes revealed a deep wisdom, as if he could see through everything in the world.

The old man raised his hand slightly, and a gentle light enveloped Li Lingyuan, instantly healing her injuries and restoring some of her depleted spiritual energy. Li Lingyuan, filled with gratitude and confusion, hurriedly saluted the old man. The old man nodded gently and said, "Young lady, you bravely ventured into the sacred mountain to save your lover. Your deep love and perseverance are touching. But the secrets and trials within this sacred mountain are not something you can easily endure."

Li Lingyuan responded with a firm look: "Senior, as long as Xiao Yi can be saved, I am willing to face any test." The old man smiled, and a crystal clear crystal ball appeared out of thin air in his hand. A strange light flickered in the crystal ball, as if reflecting the hardships Li Lingyuan had gone through.

"Let us begin." The old man waved his sleeve gently, and the surrounding scenery transformed instantly. Li Lingyuan found herself in a scorching desert, the sun high in the sky, and yellow sand filled the air. Knowing this was a test, she endured the scorching heat, using her spiritual power to trudge forward across the sand. Suddenly, a sandstorm swept in, obscuring the sky. Li Lingyuan quickly cast a spell, building a sand wall around herself to resist the storm.

After the sandstorm, countless sand beasts appeared in the desert. They were nimble and rushed towards Li Lingyuan with their claws and fangs bared. Undeterred, Li Lingyuan drew her sword and engaged the sand beasts. She dodged their attacks while searching for their weaknesses. After a hard fight, she finally found their fatal weakness and successfully repelled them.

The desert vanished, and Li Lingyuan arrived once again on a frigid tundra. A biting wind pierced the ice, and the icy edges cleaved like knives. Here, a massive ice phoenix appeared, radiating a chilling aura. Each of its attacks carried a powerful icy force. Li Lingyuan unleashed a fire spell, engaging the phoenix in a battle of ice and fire. Flames and cold intertwined, the surrounding tundra shattered and reassembled in the fierce clash. Li Lingyuan constantly adjusted her tactics throughout the battle, knowing she couldn't afford to slack off, for Xiao Yi's fate depended on her single whim.

After finally defeating the Ice Phoenix, Li Lingyuan was transported to a mysterious, misty forest. An eerie aura permeated the air, and strange noises echoed in her ears. Li Lingyuan walked cautiously until the ground beneath her began to give way. She quickly cast a flight spell and soared into the air. However, the air wasn't safe either, as countless ghostly creatures pounced on her. Li Lingyuan cast a purification spell, dispelling the spirits.

After enduring numerous trials, Li Lingyuan returned to the old man. The old man looked at her with approval in his eyes, "Young lady, you have passed all the tests. Now, I will tell you a secret concerning the fate of your lover. At the summit of the sacred mountain, there is a sacred tree, and on it grows a magical fruit. This fruit has the miraculous power to reverse life and death and cure all diseases. But to obtain this fruit, you must pay a huge price. Are you willing?" Li Lingyuan answered without hesitation, "I am willing. Even if it costs me my life, I will save Xiao Yi." The old man sighed slightly and said, "Then you should continue on your journey. I hope you will succeed." Li Lingyuan thanked the old man and walked resolutely towards the summit of the sacred mountain. Her heart was filled with anticipation and anxiety for the future. She didn't know what challenges awaited her there, but no matter what, she would not give up.
