Chen Lan opened his eyes, only to find himself in a vast blue space, nothing in sight, just endless blue.

And this blue seemed more like Bing Lan, somewhat crystalline and translucent, making him feel as if he were inside an ice crystal, able to sense the cold around him.

"Where is this place? Is anyone here?"

Chen Lan asked aloud, puzzled, looking around.

The only response was the echo of his own voice.

It seemed that aside from him, there was no one else here. So, how could he get out?

Chen Lan began to walk aimlessly, discovering that there was no exit here, and that he had no cultivation power in his body at all; he couldn't use a single bit of Spiritual Qi.

He had become a mortal, which was a bit unsettling.

Just then, an ice crystal suddenly protruded in front of him, and it began to grow until it reached his height.

Crack!

The ice crystal slowly broke apart, gradually transforming into a humanoid ice crystal with arms and legs, no different from a human.

Slowly, the ice crystal ceased to be ice crystal and transformed into human skin, then into a female, and she was naked!

The woman formed from the ice crystal was astonishingly beautiful, with a cold and alluring aura, like an extremely cold block of ice that no one should approach.

"Master, you've finally come." The woman opened her eyes, and her first words upon seeing Chen Lan were to call him master.

Hearing this, Chen Lan was slightly stunned and waved his hand to dress the woman in robes.

This type of clothing-like Magical Treasure, he had many of them, each capable of automatically adjusting to fit the individual's body, ensuring a perfect fit.

"Who are you, and why do you call me master?" Chen Lan asked in confusion.

He didn't even know when he acquired such a thing.

It could transform into a human at will and could speak.

"Master, you've always been my master, it's just that you forgot about me, but I still remember the last time we met. It's been six hundred years, three months, and twelve days since I last saw you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan didn't know what to say. She remembered so clearly, but he had no recollection.

"I am your master? What about Bing Lan, how does she possess the Ice Power?"

"Because she accidentally touched me, which led to that. I was originally left here by you to be retrieved after implementing the plan. But she accidentally intruded and touched me, causing a wisp of Dao Power from the Ice Dao to enter her body. Luckily, her constitution was very special, able to absorb this Dao Power from the Ice Dao, but the price was being unable to cultivate. To cultivate, she must give up the Dao."

Chen Lan was taken aback; to cultivate, she had to give up the Dao, which seemed too cruel.

This choice should be left for Bing Lan to make herself.

"Then why did you bring me here?"

"For returning."

After speaking, the woman walked straight to Chen Lan, placing her hands gently on his chest. The extreme cold made Chen Lan's body shudder, having no cultivation power.

So cold, like having a block of ice placed on your chest in the dead of winter.

The next second, a miraculous scene occurred; the woman's hands went directly through Chen Lan's chest, slowly merging with him, becoming one.

Feeling the extreme cold within him, Chen Lan sensed his cultivation slowly recovering, while that cold energy moved through his body, causing his meridians and bones to form ice wherever it went.

"This is Dao Power from the Ice Dao, refining my body, giving me full Ice Power, I can't let this go to waste." Chen Lan immediately sat cross-legged, guiding the Ice Dao Power into his Dantian.

He wanted to refine this Dao Power, step into the Ice Dao; his body could use Devouring Demon Technique to absorb various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and in the future, could also possess Ice Power.

But Dao Power was different; if it's gone, it's gone, very hard to find. It cannot be wasted.

As Chen Lan slowly refined and comprehended the Dao, a terrifying event was occurring outside.

...

"What should I do, it's all my fault, I caused this to him!"

Bing Lan was now guarding in front of Chen Lan's ice sculpture. It had been over ten minutes, yet Chen Lan showed no signs of waking, though his heart was still beating.

What was going on here?

Roar~~~~~

Just then, dozens of roars of giant beasts suddenly sounded from the outside, causing Bing Lan to shudder, hurrying outside to see what happened.

Upon going out, what met her eyes were dozens of gigantic beasts as massive as the ones before, each with a realm of Saint King Perfection, and even seven or eight of them were in the quasi-Emperor realm.

This was an extremely frightening giant beast army; placed in Huaxia, surely many people would lose their lives because of it.

But the next second, these giant beasts actually walked toward Bing Lan's direction, frightening her to panic.

"What should I do, I can't handle so many Demon Beasts, if they trample on Chen Lan, the consequences would be unbearable to imagine!" Bing Lan said nervously, her mind frantically trying to think of a solution.

But as the beasts drew closer, she still could think of no way; right now, she could only fight to buy Chen Lan some time.

Thinking this, Bing Lan charged forward resolutely; she couldn't just stand by and watch her second friend vanish, especially when he was so similar, no way!

Bing Lan rushed to a spot not far from the beasts, gasping for breath. Without cultivation, she was just an ordinary person, only able to use the Ice Dao.

"Stop right there!" Bing Lan yelled, unleashing an extremely cold aura that enveloped the whole scene, a blast of Ice Power soaring into the clouds, with fierce winds rising!

Gusts of extreme cold wind blew toward those giant beasts, and countless snowflakes descended from the sky.

Crack, crack, one could hear the sounds of objects freezing, the giant beasts were slowly icing from head to toe, roaring in anger but to no avail, helplessly watching themselves freeze, turning into one enormous ice sculpture after another, standing on Antarctica.

Seeing this, Bing Lan collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, having exhausted a massive amount of Ice Power, leaving her body in a weakened state.

However, it was worth it!

Bing Lan grinned, glancing back at Chen Lan's position and the ice sculpture there, her eyes filled with worry, not knowing when Chen Lan would awaken.

Crack!

Just then, the sound of shattering glass constantly echoed, and Bing Lan swiftly turned her head, her pupils contracting drastically, leaving her dumbfounded.

All those giant beast ice sculptures were now slowly cracking, on the verge of breaking free!

"I still can't do it?" Bing Lan said in despair.

Her Ice Power was so insignificant, utterly unable to stop them. She had never wished her Ice Power to be more than today, so that she could save Chen Lan.

Now, she was utterly exhausted, without even the strength to flee, her legs weak, only able to watch helplessly as those giant beasts broke free of their icy bounds, roaring to the sky, speeding toward her location.

"Run!!!!"

Just then, a voice rang out, making Bing Lan pause slightly, as she turned to look, a look of joy in her eyes.

It's him!
