Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Chiyan Gilded's speed was extremely fast. Zhou Yiqiao shuttled through the clouds and in just half a day, he had arrived at the approximate location of the "Ice and Fire Abyss" recorded in the mission scroll.

The "Ice and Fire Abyss" is located in the mountains north of Zhongzhou. It is covered with ice and snow all year round and the climate is extremely harsh.

Zhou Yiqiao stood on a solitary peak and looked around. He saw continuous snow-capped mountains, howling cold winds, and a vast expanse of desolateness.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he soon found a unique place among the mountains.

There was a huge rift valley with faint heat rising from it, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding ice and snow.

Zhou Yiqiao knew that that was the destination of his trip - the Abyss of Ice and Fire.

He moved, and the whole person disappeared from the top of the peak, turning into a stream of light and flying towards the rift valley.

As he approached, the temperature around him began to gradually rise, the ice and snow began to melt, revealing dark brown rocks.

Zhou Yiqiao could feel that the underground fire here was extremely strong, forming a wonderful balance with the ice and snow on the surface.

Just as he was about to reach the bottom of the rift, an indescribable force of alternating cold and heat suddenly hit him, as if to tear his body in half.

Zhou Yiqiao frowned and circulated the spiritual power in his body to form a thick spiritual power shield to resist this extreme environment.

"It really lives up to its reputation. The Ice and Fire Abyss is indeed a dangerous place."

Zhou Yiqiao sighed inwardly, while adjusting his breathing and the flow of spiritual energy to better adapt to this extreme environment.

Falling to the bottom of the rift, Zhou Yiqiao discovered that there was a different world here.

At the bottom of the rift is a vast and complex underground world, like the entrance to another world.

The surrounding rock walls are covered with crystal clear icicles, which contrast with the dark red magma winding on the ground, forming a breathtaking natural wonder.

There is a strange fragrance in the air, which is the unique smell of the interweaving of earth fire and ice. It has both the hot smell of burning and the refreshing chill.

Going deeper into the rift valley, Zhou Yiqiao gradually discovered some strange vegetation and creatures.

Some plants grow half on cold rocks, while the other half penetrates into hot magma, showing amazing vitality;

And those creatures, whether it is the flamingo flying in the sky or the cold rock snake lurking on the edge of the magma, all seem to be accustomed to the extreme environment here. They each occupy their own territory and do not invade each other.

After walking forward for about half an hour, until the alternating force of cold and heat in the space reached its limit, Zhou Yiqiao finally arrived at the core area of ​​the Ice and Fire Abyss.

Here, the cold and hot air currents almost condensed into substance, colliding and twisting with each other, forming countless colorful light bands, like the most gorgeous painting between heaven and earth. At the same time, there was a deadly crisis hidden inside.

Zhou Yiqiao stood in front of this brilliant and deadly light band with a solemn expression.

According to the mission description, both the "Blue Earth Core Fire Lotus" and the "Ice Flame Beast" live in the extreme environment behind this light band.

How to enter this band of light?

Remembering the introduction of the mission, Zhou Yiqiao thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind. He mobilized all the spiritual power in his body to form a more solid protective shield.

Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath and stepped into the light band area carefully.

He could feel that the power contained in these light bands was extremely terrifying, and if he was not careful, he might suffer serious damage.

His spiritual shield vibrated slightly under the impact of the light band, as if it could break at any time.

As he went deeper, the power around him became stronger and stronger, and his spiritual shield began to vibrate more violently.

Zhou Yiqiao's expression became solemn. He could feel that his spiritual power shield was being consumed at an alarming rate.

When he reached the middle of the light band area, Zhou Yiqiao was surprised to find that most of his spiritual power shield had been consumed.

He knew that if he didn't find a solution soon, he might not be able to safely cross the area.

At this moment, Zhou Yiqiao suddenly felt a strange pressure coming from the light band, directly crushing his body.

This pressure was so powerful that it made his internal organs feel tremendous pressure.

However, what surprised him even more was that he discovered that his physical body, which he had cultivated for many years, did not collapse immediately.

A determined light flashed in Zhou Yiqiao's eyes, and he decided to take a risk.

He began to gradually remove his spiritual shield, allowing his physical body to directly face the pressure in the light band.

At first, he felt unbearable pain, but as time went on, he found that everything was just as he had imagined.

The power in these light bands is not entirely destructive; there is a delicate balance and cycle between them.

It is this balance that allows Zhou Yiqiao to gradually adapt to this environment.

After taking a reassurance pill, Zhou Yiqiao no longer hesitated. He quickly walked through the colorful and bizarre light band area and came to a completely different world.

The air here is thinner, but filled with pure and powerful energy fluctuations, which is the most primitive and pure display of natural power.

Before his eyes, a strange scene unfolded before him.

A lake of dark blue flames lay quietly in front of him. The flames neither rose nor went out, but instead emitted a tranquil and deep light.

On the surface of the lake, a crystal clear flame shaped like a lotus quietly blooms. That is the legendary "Blue Fire Lotus of the Earth's Core".

The edges of its petals flickered with a faint blue light, which contrasted with the surrounding dark blue flames. It was breathtakingly beautiful, yet contained energy that could destroy the world.

Although Zhou Yiqiao was anxious to pick the fire lotus, he also knew the danger of this place. He did not rush into it and moved slowly towards the lake with extreme caution.

Just as he expected, when he was about to approach the lake, a low roar came from the other side of the lake.

Then, a giant beast with a huge body and covered with ice and flames slowly came into his sight.

This giant beast has eyes like torches, and its body is surrounded by biting cold and scorching flames. It is the "Ice Flame Beast" that the Tijian Sect is trying to hunt down.

"If it's as I expected, this Ice Flame Beast is actually the guardian beast of the Blue Earth Core Fire Lotus."

Zhou Yiqiao's heart moved and he immediately made preparations.

The Ice Flame Beast had obviously sensed the presence of Zhou Yiqiao, the invader. It let out a deafening roar, with dangerous light flashing in its eyes.

Although the beast's body was huge, its movements were extremely agile. It leaped suddenly, creating a gust of wind, and rushed straight towards Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao's body shook and he nimbly avoided the attack of the Ice Flame Beast. At the same time, the Dusk Magic Sword had already condensed in his hand.

A faint blue light began to flicker on the sword, emitting a sharp sword intent.

Zhou Yiqiao stared at the ice and flame beast, with sword intent surging in his heart, as if all the cold and flames in the world were gathered on the tip of his sword.

"Congeal!"

Zhou Yiqiao let out a low shout, and the spiritual power in his body boiled and poured into the Dusk Sword.

The blue light on the sword suddenly intensified and turned into a tangible sword beam, leaving dazzling tracks in the air.

His body was as light as a dragon playing in the water, and he moved freely through the violent attacks of the Ice Flame Beast. Every time he swung his sword, he accurately avoided the ice and flames of the beast and hit its vital points directly.

The Ice Flame Beast roared continuously, obviously angered by this sudden and fierce attack.

It waved its huge claws, trying to beat Zhou Yiqiao into a pulp, but Zhou Yiqiao was like a cunning rabbit, and managed to narrowly avoid its attacks every time, making its violent offensive completely in vain and unable to hurt him at all.

The Ice Flame Beast was completely enraged, its pair of blood-red eyes flashing with strong hatred. It opened its huge mouth, spewed out blazing flames, and attacked Zhou Yiqiao.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao curled up his lips into a sneer.

He had long known that this Ice Flame Beast was no simple being, and so he had been looking for flaws in its attacks.

At this moment, facing the surging flames, he was not afraid. Instead, he retreated violently, using the momentum to increase the distance between him and the giant beast. At the same time, the Dusk Sword drew a perfect arc in the air, with the tip of the sword pointing at the flank of the giant beast.

At this moment, all the spiritual power in his body was like boiling river water, surging into the sword.

The sword's light suddenly surged, transforming into a dazzling blue-purple light, with the power to tear through space, and pierced straight into the flank of the Ice Flame Beast.

"boom!"

With a deafening bang, the sword light and the flame collided with each other, and instantly burst out with brilliant light and a strong shock wave.

The Ice Flame Beast let out a shrill scream, and its huge body was forced back repeatedly by the force. A shocking wound was left on its side, and the blood and ice flames intertwined together, making it look particularly hideous.

Zhou Yiqiao seized the opportunity, abandoned his magic sword, and relying on his powerful physical realm, he leaped up, as swift as a cheetah hunting, and landed directly on the huge body of the Ice Flame Beast.

He clenched his hands into fists, and the spiritual energy in his body surged wildly, gathering at the tip of his fists.

"Break it for me!"

Zhou Yiqiao roared, and punched out with both fists at the same time, with overwhelming force, hitting the wound that was pierced by Mu.

The Ice Flame Beast cried out in pain, and its huge body trembled violently. It tried its best to throw Zhou Yiqiao off, but Zhou Yiqiao was as solid as a rock. He clasped his feet tightly on the beast's back and attacked with his hands more and more fiercely. Each punch was accompanied by the roar of spiritual power, which made the beast's skin and flesh torn and wailing non-stop.

As Zhou Yiqiao's fists continued to bombard the Ice Flame Beast, the wailing of the Ice Flame Beast gradually weakened, and the originally blazing light in its eyes began to dim.

The giant beast's body stopped struggling and slowly went limp, finally falling to the ground with a loud bang.

After a close combat, Zhou Yiqiao defeated another extremely ferocious ice flame beast with his bare hands!
