It worked!

Feeling the changes in the ice sculpture, Wang Junze's heart was instantly filled with immense joy.

During his time here, he meticulously sensed every detail of the ice sculpture. On the surface, it seemed nothing special, but the more he observed, the more differences Wang Junze discovered.

The most basic was the posture of the ice sculpture holding the sword.

Although Wang Junze had long mastered the Initiate the Game, he did so by exploring it himself based on the remaining records in the Sword Manual. From the outside, it seemed the same, but after observing the ice sculpture, Wang Junze soon noticed many subtle differences.

Just like when practicing a horse stance according to a book, without guidance, even the most diligent practice might still fall short in some subtle postures.

This kind of difference is hard to notice in a short time, but over the years, it can gradually lead to a significant gap.

Now, this ice sculpture was demonstrating to Wang Junze, in the most standard posture, how this sword should be wielded.

And when Wang Junze carefully felt these subtle differences and re-executed the sword move, it seemed to trigger the power within the ice sculpture, instantly activating the legacy contained within!

Tang Mo and the others felt that the ice sculpture was coming to life, which wasn't entirely an illusion.

Just as the wind and snow obscured the figures of Wang Junze and the ice sculpture, a point of pale blue light suddenly flew from the ice sculpture, transforming into a point of Sword Intent that instantly merged into Wang Junze's brow.

In that instant, Wang Junze felt a figure appear in his mind, thrusting a sword at him.

Countless transformations and Sword Intent related to Initiate the Game were inherited into Wang Junze's mind in this incredible way.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, with Wang Junze repeatedly comprehending this sword in his mind, then executing it, adjusting each minute change!

Boom!

It was unclear how much time had passed when a clear, crisp blast echoed in Wang Junze's ears, as the sword in his mind dissipated and the surrounding wind and snow stopped, with the ice sculpture in front of him collapsing at the same time!

"It's broken?!"

While Wang Junze was still in a slight daze, Tang Mo and the others rushed over frantically to pick up the shattered ice crystals and inspect them.

At this moment, Tang Mo and the others couldn't even care about the threat of Wang Xin. Destroying such a large ice sculpture made of ice crystals would drive them crazy.

Fortunately, Tang Mo and the others quickly found that although the ice sculpture collapsed, the ice crystals themselves hadn't changed, and the power contained within hadn't diminished at all.

"It's fine, it's fine... This is great, these ice crystals are fine!"

Grasping a handful of shattered ice crystals tightly, Tang Mo exclaimed joyfully.

Not until now did Wang Junze finally come to his senses entirely. Looking at the shattered ice sculpture, there was a hint of dazedness in his eyes.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Landing beside Wang Junze, Wang Xin asked with concern.

"I'm fine. How long has it been?" Shaking his head, Wang Junze asked softly.

"About an hour."

Wang Xin replied softly and then pointed to the fragments of ice crystals beside them, asking, "What should we do with these?"

"Give them all to them."

Glancing at the disciples of the Divine Blade Sect, Wang Junze answered casually.

Tang Mo and the others cared about these ice crystals, but Wang Junze no longer did. Compared to the inherited power contained within the ice sculpture, what were these ice crystals worth?

Now, Wang Junze naturally understood that the legacy of Chess Swordsmanship was the most important opportunity for him.

Indeed, here he might be able to complete the crucial Heart Method missing from the remnant!

After all, in such a vast snowy field, this was surely not the only ice sculpture.

"Brother Tang, I'm going to continue forward. Will you join me or stay here?"

Looking up, Wang Junze asked Tang Mo.

After a slight hesitation, Tang Mo eventually shook his head, "We'll stay here. Honestly... in that last battle, we couldn't be of much help. Acquiring these ice crystals is already very satisfying for us. Going further would only be a burden to you."

At that moment, Tang Mo's rationality eventually triumphed over greed.

Following Wang Junze might yield more rewards, but the risk was simply too great for him!

Stepping into the Restriction itself was already a gamble; to proceed greedily would truly court death.

"Very well, in that case, consider these ice crystals a gift for Brother Tang." Wang Junze spoke lightly, "Afterwards, you don't need to delve too deep. Whether it's me or others, once we've gone deeper and broken the Restriction, you'll all find a way out."

Although there seemed to be no way back, in truth, once the Restriction was entered, one was bound to encounter the core of the Restriction, and there would naturally be a way to break it open. Compared to the risk of venturing deeper, waiting here for an opportunity to leave was the best choice for Tang Mo and the others.

After all, these ice crystals could easily sustain Tang Mo and the others' survival, perhaps even helping their Cultivation to advance further.

As for the favor Wang Junze mentioned, it wasn't referring to the present circumstances but to the previous support from the Divine Blade Sect. Such an amount of ice crystals was enough to repay that debt.
