C173 Cold pool

The title of Holy Son was usually used by those extremely powerful Sect sects who held the ultimate inheritance.

In the main hall of the Soul Blood Hall, there were nine Holy Sons, all of whom possessed the qualifications to look down upon the entire Genuine Martial Realm Heaven's Pride.

The Wei Ying in front of her eyes was only around twenty years old, yet her cultivation had already reached the third level of Elemental King Stage. With this kind of strength, even the number one Heaven's Pride of the Eastern Region would lose all light in front of him.

Wei Ying nodded, and said: "Whatever you guys do, go and do. I am only here to find the whereabouts of a person, pass by your Punishment Hall, and come here to rest for a few days."

A while ago, Lin Hao had refined the mysterious blood inside the Evil Spirit Tomb outside his Skyfrost City, causing his aura to erupt once, which attracted the attention of the Soul Blood Hall's main Hall Master. Then, he used the Battle Qi energy brought by the mysterious blood on the Giant Palace City, so the general location of the Soul Blood Hall was locked onto by the main Hall Master.

Wei Ying had been ordered to come to the Eastern Origin Realm for a period of time, but she did not have any leads. Thus, she was annoyed, and just happened to pass by the Hall of Soul Blood Hall, so she directly entered this place to rest.

To complete the mission given to him by the, Wei Ying had already thoroughly understood the difficulty of it all. She only knew that the person was in the Eastern Origin Realm, and that the Eastern Origin Realm wasn't small either.

The only said that when Wei Ying's Nine Seal Inheritance approached that person, it would automatically sense him. This was just like looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, Wei Ying also knew that this mission was a special one, and the attached great importance to it. It might be related to the secret of the Nine Seal Core cultivated by the nine Great Sacred Children, so she was very concerned, if she could complete this mission, then she might be able to stand out amongst the competition among the nine Great Sacred Children.

However, what he never thought of, was that the Hall of Souls And Blood Branch he was currently in, was dealing with the matter regarding the person who was related to his mission. It could be said that the target of his mission, Wei Ying, just happened to pass by him right now.

Within the snow-capped Freezing Sky Holy Land which carried a bone-piercing coldness, even though Lin Hao's body was strong, he still couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over his body.

The Freezing Sky Holy Land was already on the verge of collapse, the power of frost inside raged, transforming into intersecting storms of ice and snow that howled.

The most important thing that Lin Hao needed to find this time, was the Three Cold Swords. Back then, the Master s of Freezing Sky Sect and the enemies of the Primary Sage Realm both fell in this battle, and no one knew where the Three Cold Swords was.

Enduring the ice storm, Lin Hao discovered that an extremely flat region had appeared in front of him. The ground of this area was formed by ice, and seemed to be like a mirror.

According to the information Lin Hao had previously obtained from Li Qianjue, this area was called the Ice Cold Mirror. It was specifically used within the Freezing Sky Holy Land to test disciples.

However, the mirror was now riddled with cracks, and he did not know if its effects were still there.

This was the only way into the depths of the Hibernating Cold. Lin Hao had no other choice but to step onto the broken ice mirror.

"Buzz!"

In the next moment, a ripple appeared and immediately, a person who looked exactly the same as Lin Hao appeared in front of him.

It was obvious that although this mirror was full of cracks, its effects still remained.

If you want to pass through the test of the Ice Mirror, you need to defeat 'yourself' within two hours!

Otherwise, he would be forcefully sent out by the Freezing Sky Holy Land's rules.

Every single person who was forcefully sent out by the Freezing Sky Holy Land would not be able to enter here again for three months. This was the basic rule within the Freezing Sky Holy Land, thus, even if the Freezing Sky Holy Land was on the verge of collapsing, this rule still existed.

Which is to say, Lin Hao only had one chance, otherwise, he would have to wait for another three months before he could re-enter the Freezing Sky Holy Land.

Defeating the other 'me' in this mirror of ice was not that simple.

This was because the other 'himself' was no different from Lin Hao himself. His cultivation realm, techniques, moves, as well as his understanding towards the Martial Dao, were all the same.

Therefore, there was a saying in the world of martial dao that the first enemy every practitioner had to defeat was themselves.

This is not nonsense.

If he could defeat himself, he would be able to find his weakness and make up for it by becoming more and more perfect!

With regards to the Frost Mirror's test, Lin Hao felt that it was somewhat interesting. Thus, he abruptly brandished his sword and pierced towards the other 'himself'.

The two figures started to fight.

The strength of both of them, as well as their moves, were the same. No one could do anything to them.

Lin Hao knew that if he continued like this, there would never be a victor, and a draw meant that he had failed.

After fighting for half an hour, Lin Hao took a deep breath and began to take this trial extremely seriously. During the battle just now, he had already discovered the crux of it.

He wanted to defeat himself.

What he relied on was not strength or techniques.

It was the state of mind!

If one's mental state did not surpass their current state, one could forget about defeating their 'self'!

Lin Hao was very clear that the biggest obstacle to his mental state was his previous life's encounter with his true love and betrayal when he ascended the divine way, as well as the suppression from the Seven Divine Kings.

After his rebirth, Lin Hao had always wanted to ascend the divine way once more, and cut down those existences which had led him to destruction in his previous life.

But just now, he suddenly came to a realization.

That was something he had to do, but it was only a process.

Not the end he was after.

What he was pursuing should be the peak of that path of the sword, not just for revenge!

After coming to this conclusion, Lin Hao's thoughts became clear and smooth. In the next moment, he slashed out with his sword.

This meant that Lin Hao had successfully passed this trial.

Since ancient times, no one had ever been able to stand on the surface of the mirror and pass the test on their first try.

Lin Hao was the first one.

After passing through the Ice Mirror, Lin Hao continued to advance, and on the way, he encountered many examination grounds within the Freezing Sky Holy Land.

However, as the Freezing Sky Holy Land space was about to collapse, most of the examination grounds had already lost their original effects. There were still some that remained.

Along the way, he also discovered quite a few cultivation technique manuals and martial skills from the Freezing Sky Sect. He didn't take an extra look at them and directly threw them into his storage ring.

After a long while, Lin Hao came to the side of a pond that was emitting a dense cold Qi.

"I did not expect that the cold spring is still here." Joy flashed across Lin Hao's face.

The Wintry Spring contained a plentiful amount of cold attribute Elemental Energy. It could be used to temper the body and increase a martial practitioner's cultivation.

Lin Hao did not hesitate to leap, and landed right inside the Wintry Spring!
