Holding a child-bearing system, seducing all the handsome male cultivators in the wilderness

In the interval of thinking, Cang Yuan suddenly felt a sense of pleasure in his heart.

This woman had humiliated him so much in the past, and now she was meting out this fate, which could be considered retribution.

Why bother saving her? She died a good death!

After a moment, Cang Yuan regained his senses.

He remembered that Li Wanji still had many secrets and inherited magic weapons. If she died, it would be a great loss for him.

After weighing the pros and cons, Cang Yuan decided to save people first. He used all his spiritual power to try to break the layer of ice.

However, at this moment, the Ice Spirit Stone brought about a second round of even more violent cold air outburst, as if a sleeping giant beast was awakened and was angrily releasing its long-accumulated icy power.

The cold air surged in like a raging tide, and Cang Yuan's entire mind was shaken.

He quickly withdrew his spiritual power, retreated violently, and at the same time summoned a defensive magic weapon, only then was he able to barely resist the terrifying cold that could almost freeze everything.

Ice crystals spread wildly around, turning the entire bottom of the pit into a huge ice prison. Even the light was distorted by the cold air, appearing extremely strange.

At this moment, he had already begun to think about retreating. This top-grade Ice Spirit Stone was obviously not something they could get their hands on. If they stayed any longer, they might even die here.

He glanced at the frozen Li Wanji, sighed in his heart, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Bang!" A slight shattering sound came from behind.

He looked back and saw that cracks had begun to appear on the ice layer on Li Wanji's body.

The cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, and a strange light flashed on the surface of the ice, as if some force was struggling inside, trying to break out of the ice.

Cang Yuan frowned, feeling confused and uncertain. This sudden change was completely beyond his expectations.

"How is it possible? This ice layer is so strong that even I can hardly shake it. How could she…"

Just as Cang Yuan was muttering to himself, the ice layer on Li Wanji's body shattered, turning into countless tiny ice crystals that flew everywhere.

She suddenly opened her eyes, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and a faint chill surrounded her body. She was completely different from before.

"This...what is going on?" Cang Yuan looked at Li Wanji in astonishment, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.

Li Wanji slowly stood up, the cold air surrounding her body gradually subsided, she looked down at herself, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in her eyes.

She chuckled and said, "It seems that I have turned a disaster into a blessing. Not only did this top-grade Ice Spirit Stone not kill me, but it also allowed the blood power in my body to gain some awakening power."

"Is it just a part that has such power? If all of them were awakened, I'm afraid..."

Cang Yuan did not continue speaking, secretly horrified.

He instantly realized that Li Wanji might be much more complicated than he had imagined, and that there were unknown secrets and powers hidden in her blood.

This woman's luck is truly incredible. She was able to turn a dangerous situation into a safe one and even become stronger because of it.

Cang Yuan had mixed feelings. It would be a lie to say that he was not jealous, but he was more of a re-examination and wariness of Li Wanji's strength.

"Well, only part of it. The other part is still very dormant. It may not be time for it to awaken yet."

Li Wanji said this deliberately to shock Cang Yuan and let him know that he was not an easy target, so that he would not dare to have any evil thoughts again.

Cang Yuan's behavior of abandoning her just now undoubtedly left a mark in her heart.

However, in this crisis-ridden environment, she did not point this out based on the principle that one more ally is better than one more enemy.

"This Ice Spirit Stone has developed intelligence. If we take it rashly, it will probably cause even greater trouble."

"Given intelligence?" It was the first time that Cang Yuan heard of such a strange thing, and a solemn look flashed across his eyes.

"Yes, I can feel its hostility towards me, and its strong will to protect itself."

"So what should we do? We can't return empty-handed."

"Returning empty-handed is certainly not my style. However, since it already has intelligence, we might as well try to communicate with it. Perhaps we can reach some kind of agreement."

"Communication? With a stone?" Cang Yuan looked incredulous.

"All things have spirits, let alone this kind of top-grade spirit stone. Please step back and let me try."

As Li Wanji spoke, she slowly closed her eyes, gently clasped her hands together, and began to concentrate and calm her mind, blending with the cold air around her, as if her entire soul had established some subtle connection with the Ice Spirit Stone.

Her breathing became long and deep, and the cold air around her was no longer so biting, but instead had a hint of warmth, like a ray of sunshine in winter, cold yet warm.

Cang Yuan watched quietly from the side. He had no idea about the matter.

However, seeing Li Wanji's serious look, he had to put away his contempt and secretly be on guard against possible changes.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Apart from the gentle breathing of the two of them, there was no other sound at the bottom of the pit.

Even the cold air that was originally brewing seemed to sense some kind of power and gradually calmed down and was no longer so violent.

After a long time, Li Wanji slowly opened her eyes, her face full of joy.

"This Ice Spirit Stone has indeed developed intelligence and does not want to be taken away."

"But it said that if we can help it solve a problem that has troubled it for many years, it is willing to share the mine with us and allow us to mine in moderation."

"What problem is bothering it? How difficult is it?" Cang Yuan asked curiously. It was really beyond his expectation that the Ice Spirit Stone could put forward conditions.

"It said that the reason this continent is so hot is because there is a fire vein deep underground. The power of the fire vein keeps rising, causing the surface temperature to rise abnormally, making it difficult for living things to survive."

"As an ice-attributed spirit stone, it has been disturbed by the power of fire for a long time, causing severe loss of spirit power, and is almost unable to maintain its own stability and growth."

"Therefore, it hopes that we can find and seal that vein of fire to reduce its burden and restore the ecological balance of this continent."

"Is it the fire veins that are causing the trouble? But what we clearly saw was the high temperature phenomenon caused by the sun being too close to this continent." Cang Yuan frowned, puzzled by what Li Wanji had relayed about the Ice Spirit Stone.

"Indeed, on the surface, the abnormal position of the sun is the direct cause of the high temperature. But the fire veins mentioned by the Ice Spirit Stone may be a deeper and more fundamental problem."

"The existence of the fire vein may have caused the geological structure of this continent to become abnormal, which in turn affected the refraction and concentration of sunlight in this area, exacerbating the high temperature phenomenon. Of course, this is just my speculation."

The two of them fell into deep thought, and he realized that the problem they were facing was far more complicated than they had imagined.

If it is true as the Ice Spirit Stone said, then sealing the fire vein is not only to help the Ice Spirit Stone recover, but also to save this continent ravaged by high temperatures and allow all living beings to breathe.

"If this is true, sealing this fire vein will not be easy. How should we proceed?"

"The Ice Spirit Stone has given me some clues. It says that the source of the fire vein is hidden at the southernmost tip of the continent. There is a forbidden area forgotten by the world called the 'Flame Hell Abyss'."

"Legend has it that it is a kingdom of fire and magma, and any creature that steps into it will be reduced to ashes."

"The southernmost tip of the continent...the abyss of the Hell of Fire..." Cangyuan muttered to himself, and he suddenly thought of something.

"Li Wanji, you are going to die! Do you still remember the Tang Valley that Yunyouzi mentioned? Isn't it the same place as the Yanyu Abyss?"
