Zhou Chun didn’t consider himself a coward.
Though he always acted cautiously, he actually was quite brave.
Not many cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage would dare to bargain with those at the Golden Core Stage, but he had done that before.
However, now, the situation inside the ice cavern made him feel an internal chill so intense that even the “Flame Sparrow Pot” he held seemed completely useless.
He watched the man in the Cold Spring with his body tensed and eyes wide, observing every inch of him closely.
...
After an indefinite amount of time, he finally let out a slight sigh of relief.
Based on his observations, the man appeared to be dead.
But that only slightly relieved him.
In the cultivation world, it wasn’t just the living that posed a danger; the dead could be just as capable of killing!
Zhou Chun didn’t need to think to know that this man must have been an extremely high-level cultivator before his death, and likely not below the Golden Core stage.
Such beings, even in death, could have left measures in place to deal with those who dared to defile their corpses.
“Why would someone be frozen here? The ice cavern doesn’t seem to be man-made!”
Zhou Chun’s eyes flickered as he did not rush to touch the ice sculpture, but instead carefully surveyed the inside of the ice cavern.
He went to a corner of the cavern and deployed the “Sun Glare Wheel” to cut through the ice wall in front of him.
The result shocked him!
The sharp golden wheel only cut less than a foot into the ice wall before it couldn’t move a fraction of an inch further.
The hardness of the blue ice wall was frightening.
“Could this ice wall be the Millennium Profound Ice mentioned in the classics?”
Zhou Chun looked at the blue ice wall in front of him and speculated about its origin in his mind.
The classics said that Millennium Profound Ice, due to sedimentation and the condensation of an enormous amount of extreme cold spiritual energy, was many times stronger than Profound Iron and exclusive to extremely cold regions.
Above Millennium Profound Ice, it was said there was Myriad Year Profound Ice, the cold from which could freeze a Divine Soul, untouchable by anyone below the Golden Core stage.
Seeing that he had no way of handling the ice wall, Zhou Chun stopped wasting his energy on such efforts.
He stored his magic artifact and continued to focus his attention on the ice sculpture in the Cold Spring.
After staring at the ice sculpture for a while, Zhou Chun flicked his sleeve, and a silver embroidered handkerchief flew out, suddenly expanding into a Silver Thread Net that enmeshed the ice sculpture.
Everything went smoothly, and the Silver Thread Net easily covered the sculpture.
But just as Zhou Chun prepared to pull the ice sculpture out, the Silver Thread Net was suddenly frozen into an ice net, cutting off his contact with it.
This turn of events made his face change color as he hurriedly retreated a distance.
It wasn’t until he saw that there was no movement from the ice sculpture that he seemed to realize something and his mind relaxed once again.
He looked at the Silver Thread Net frozen onto the ice sculpture, pondered for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand; a beam of golden light like Sword Qi hit the ice sculpture with a loud bang.
As expected, the golden light not only failed to leave any mark on the ice sculpture, but it also dissipated on the spot.
Seeing this, he thought to himself, “It looks like I won’t be able to break this ice sculpture with my abilities; I’m afraid it’s beyond me!”
With that thought, he immediately decided to leave and seek guidance before attempting any further action.
Just as he prepared to leave, the same strange roaring sound he had heard before once again rang out.
As before, upon hearing the strange roar, Zhou Chun’s consciousness plunged into a momentary state of daze and bewilderment.
This time, however, as he was closer to the source, the state of stupor lasted even longer.
When he recovered from the stupor, his first reaction was to widen his eyes and look towards the ice sculpture.
He had not misheard!
The strange roar had undoubtedly come from within the ice sculpture.
But now, looking at the ice sculpture, there was no difference from before.
This eerie development completely baffled Zhou Chun.
With his limited knowledge, he couldn’t understand what was happening.
Why would something so strange occur inside the body of a deceased?
And what exactly was making that strange roaring sound?
“I should go back and consult the Supreme Elder but no matter what, I can’t even shatter that ice sculpture with my current capabilities!”
Muttering to himself, Zhou Chun gave the ice sculpture one last, meaningful glance and, without further hesitation, turned and left immediately.
Before long, Zhou Chun emerged from the mountain crevice and reappeared in the sight of Zhou Zhengyong and the other waiting outside.
“How did it go, Clan Leader? Did you make any discoveries?”
As soon as Zhou Chun came out, Zhou Zhengyong immediately approached with curiosity to inquire about his findings.

“Indeed, there have been some discoveries, but this isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go back and discuss it,”
With a cryptic reply, Zhou Chun briskly led the way back to Longxing Valley without further explanation.
Zhou Zhengyong was a clever person and could tell from Zhou Chun’s evasiveness that there must be some secret in the mountain crevice. So, without Zhou Chun bringing it up, he refrained from asking any more questions.
Once back in Longxing Valley, Zhou Chun did not go to report the situation in the ice cavern to Zhou Daoquan, who was still recuperating.
Zhou Daoquan had indeed escaped with his life by using the “Blood Shadow Escape Technique” at a great cost of his Lifebound Essence Blood and was in no condition to take action at the moment.
