Zhao focused his mind and gazed into the pool. The water was emerald green and crystal clear, with no signs of anything unusual.

  He slowly immersed his divine consciousness into the pond water, suddenly feeling a severe pain in his brain, his face turned pale, and he hastily stopped his divine consciousness's probing, withdrawing it back.

  This pool of water is an extraordinary object, it can even freeze Zhao Di's formless and shapeless divine sense, and it seems to have suffered a great loss.

  Zhao Di became even more vigilant towards the pond water and subconsciously kept a distance of tens of meters away from the edge.

  Suddenly, in the air several meters above the surface of the cold pond, a spatial wave distorted and twisted, and a middle-aged man wrapped in golden spiritual light appeared above the cold pond.

  The middle-aged man was apparently just transported from the Starry Sea into this sealed space, still feeling dizzy and disoriented for a while, without seeing his situation clearly, only feeling extremely cold.

  Zhao loudly shouted "Be careful!", but it was too late. The middle-aged man lightly fell into the icy pool. As soon as he came into contact with the pool water, the protective spiritual light around his body instantly disappeared, and he only had time to let out a mournful cry before sinking into the pool.

  A moment later, Zhao Di saw a human skeleton floating on the surface of the cold pond. Judging from its shape and size, it was likely to be the remains of the middle-aged man who had just been there. In just an instant, only a skeleton remained, with no flesh or blood!

  This cold pond water is too overbearing! Zhao Di was greatly shocked and secretly fortunate that he had been careful not to rashly enter the pond to search for treasure.

  After a while, those bones also slowly disintegrated and crumbled under the erosion of the pool water, and finally turned into nothingness.

  It was as if he had never appeared at all, this middle-aged man of the late foundation period just disappeared like that.

  Such a powerful Tuan Water, its origin must be extraordinary, and Zhao Di actually came up with the idea of using Tuan Water.

  He took out a bottle of emerald green jade and threw it into the icy pool.

  With a "crack", the green bottle had just touched the icy water of the pool, and it suddenly shattered into countless fine powder.

  Zhao Di still didn't give up, and he took out another gourd-shaped top-grade artifact, who knows where he found it from the storage bag of some unlucky cultivator who died at his hands, and gently flew towards the Cold Pond.

  What surprised Zhao Di was that the gourd indeed held a lot of cold spring water and did not collapse immediately. However, just as Zhao Di wanted to retrieve the gourd, he heard a crisp cracking sound, and this top-grade artifact could not withstand the overbearing extreme cold of the spring water.

  Zhao Di tried several instruments one after another, but none of them escaped being destroyed in the Tan Water.

  Apart from the mysterious Qian Kun small tripod, Zhao Di had no other suitable utensils to try. But Zhao Di would never take the risk of using the small tripod, although he believed that with the small tripod's heavenly powers, it would definitely not be afraid of the cold pool water. If he was careless and let the small tripod fall into the cold pool, then he would lose everything!

  As for his own spiritual beast, the Ice Wind Python, he didn't dare to use it for adventure! Although he was certain that the water in this cold pool was extraordinary, he could only leave reluctantly.

  Zhao Di continued riding on Bingfengmang, flying towards some places with heavier cold air to investigate.

  Along the way, one might occasionally encounter a few Foundation Building cultivators with different attire, but they would be wary of each other and after exchanging a glance or two, they would ignore each other and continue searching for treasures on their own. Once they obtained enough treasures, the cultivators would naturally leave this place! If at that time, one were to waste their time competing with cultivators of similar strength, it would truly be extremely foolish!

  Unlike the Dragon Descending Valley, the cultivators who entered this sealed space were all very restrained. Even when cultivators from the Orthodox and Evil paths met, they would only silently pass by each other, with hardly any fights breaking out.

  Two hours later, Zhao Di arrived at a vast expanse of smooth and boundless ice.

  All around was a vast expanse of white, and apart from the biting howling of the wind, there was no other sound.

  Zhao Di stroked the smooth ice surface with his hand, and probed beneath it with his divine sense.

  This time, the divine consciousness easily penetrated the thick ice layer and sensed that it was four or five zhang thick. Underneath the ice layer, there were surging dark currents.

  It seems that this place was originally a calm and waveless big lake. Because of the extremely low temperature, the surface of the lake water had frozen into thick ice.

  No one knows how long the water under this ice layer has been sealed, and if enough time passes, coincidentally, it may give birth to Jiuhancuiming Water.

  Then Zhao Di took out two silver-colored small sword-shaped top-grade artifacts and manipulated them to cut open the ice layer.

  Although this layer of ice is extremely thick and has been frozen for countless years, it's as hard as steel, but it's just ordinary cold water turned into ice. Under the attack of a top-grade artifact wielded by a cultivator, it still can't withstand even one blow.

  Soon, two silver small swords opened up four ice cracks on the surface of the ice, each several meters long and deep, forming a square ice block about one meter wide.

  "Rise!" Zhao Di stood on the chopped ice block, gave a light shout, and then sprang up. The huge ice block seemed to be sucked by his feet, and it was brought out of the ice surface, flying into mid-air, revealing a hole about one zhang wide on the ice surface.

  Zhao Di threw the four-sided ice block aside and carefully observed the flowing water under the ice layer from the hole.

  After half a stick of incense, Zhao Di didn't find anything special, and the flowing water here was just ordinary lake water, at most it was colder than usual.

  He certainly wouldn't give up and leave, but instead put on several layers of colorful spiritual root armor on his body, preparing to personally enter the flowing water to search carefully.

  At his command, the Ice Wind Python seemed to have eagerly plunged into the icy waters of the lake, and Zhao Di's figure lightly swayed as he closely followed behind.

  In this icy and piercing lake water, Zhao Di's divine consciousness was still unable to spread out like on land, now he could only vaguely grasp the situation within a few miles around him.

  Soon after, Zhao Di, who was searching around in the depths of the lake, suddenly frowned and muttered: "Ice knife fish! It seems that there are not a few."

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, a moment later, hundreds of slender, snow-white, three-inch-long sharp-mouthed fish appeared before Zhao Di's eyes.

  This is a low-level ice-attribute demon beast - the Ice Knife Fish. The individual strength of this fish can almost be ignored, but it belongs to a group-dwelling demon beast, skilled in collective combat, and when there are too many, it's not something that an ordinary foundation-building cultivator can handle.

  Zhao Di hadn't even made a move, but the Ice Wind Python had already taken a keen interest in this school of ice knife fish, constantly urging Zhao Di on. The python's eyes gleamed with greed, as if it had spotted a delicious meal.

  Zhao Di smiled, this Ice Wind Python's ancestors originally lived in the icy cold water at the bottom of the Water Pond Lake, it liked to eat this ice attribute low-level demon beast, and it was reasonable. But there were many Ice Knife Fish, and it was unknown whether the Ice Wind Python could handle them alone.

  "Why not let the Ice Wind Python try, and see if it's more powerful in the water! If not, I'll lend a hand myself. Anyway, with this fish's attacking power, it's hard to hurt the scales of the Ice Wind Python." Zhao Di thought so, and transmitted an order through his divine sense to the Ice Wind Python.

  The ice wind python immediately rushed towards the fish school with extreme excitement, its speed was so fast that it was not inferior to flying in the air!

  The Ice Wind Boa was originally a hundred feet away from the school of ice knife fish, but with one pounce, it instantly arrived at the edge of the school.

  The giant python opened its bloody mouth wide, and with a sudden suck, it sucked in the nearby lake water fish schools into its mouth. In an instant, dozens of ice knife fish were swallowed into its belly.

  This group of ice knife fish reacted extremely quickly, with hundreds of them turning around at the same time, neatly slanting and darting out several feet away, avoiding the giant python's sharp edge.

  The giant python opened its big mouth and pounced on the school of fish again. Hundreds of ice knife fish neatly spat out inch-sized ice cones, facing the python and hitting its head and body.

  Although the power of these ice cones was far from enough to hurt the hard scales of Bingfengmang, hundreds of small ice cones fell down, and Bingfengmang's movements also slowed down. After the fish swam neatly to the right again, Bingfengmang made a futile pounce.

  The school of ice knife fish darted away quickly, but the ice wind python was even faster in the water. Just as the ice wind python was about to catch up each time, the school of fish would use the small ice cone's attack to gain a little time and turn to escape elsewhere.

  The school of fish is like being commanded by a single brain, attacking and escaping with great consistency, without any flaws to be found.

  The first update!
