Chapter 471: The Bottom of the Lake—Ice and Fire Palace!
"Master, this loss cannot be blamed on you, Master. It's better not to talk about abdicating the throne." The speaker was one of the two Supreme Elders.
"Uncle, third uncle, you don't need to say that this time the vitality of our Ouyang family has been severely damaged, and as the head of the family, I can't bear the blame." Ouyang Wang said indifferently, "Now that the elite masters of our Ouyang family have lost most of their lives, they need to recuperate.
Instead of going south again, my temperament is not suitable for leading the Ouyang family anymore."
"As for the new head of the family, the two uncles should ask their cousin to take over. Originally, the position of the head of the family belongs to him." Ouyang Wang said. Among the strong men of the Ouyang family, there is actually an unparalleled master who has not yet been born.
Even during the Demon Sect Rebellion, at such a critical moment, that peerless master never showed up.
The Supreme Elder who was forced to self-destruct by Xi Wuyan is the only two remaining Supreme Elders of Ouyang Wang's second uncle. He is already very old. The internal injuries suffered during the battle with Xi Wuyan have not yet healed, and it is impossible to continue.
Assuming the position of head of household
Ouyang Wang made his decision. The two Supreme Elders could only helplessly shake their heads and sigh as others could not disobey them.
Afterwards, Ouyang Wang left Hanlong Pavilion and went to the "Ice and Fire Palace" at the bottom of the lake alone.
Ouyang Family, Ice and Fire Palace!
It is a forbidden area in Ouyang Villa. Even the core disciples are not allowed to enter the Ice and Fire Palace. Anyone who disobeys will have their martial arts revoked and be expelled from the Ouyang Family. Those who are eligible to enter the Ice and Fire Palace at the bottom of the lake are the Supreme Elder and the head of the family.
In this warm valley in Changbai Mountain, there is a warm water lake. No matter how cold or bad the weather outside the mountain is, it is like spring all year round in the warm valley.
A large lake in the hinterland of Wen Valley, the water is always warm, just like water exposed to the scorching sun, hot but not scalding.
This is not all the manifestations of the miraculous craftsmanship of heaven and earth. The most magical phenomenon between heaven and earth is hidden at the bottom of the lake - the Ice and Fire Palace.
Wearing white robes, the two Supreme Elders walked step by step in the tunnel leading to the bottom of the lake. There was no expression on their faces.
After a while...
The two Supreme Elders came to a dark metal door. At the end of the tunnel under the lake, there was no other building except a heavy door made of unknown metal.
However, this metal door is covered with something that looks like rust and patina. Obviously, this metal door has some history.
Two old men with white hair and beards stopped in front of this metal door and looked at it quietly.
a long time……
"Brother, it's you who come!" an old man on the left said seriously.
"Um!"
The great elder stretched out his skinny chicken claw-like right hand and pressed it on the dark iron door.
"Kaka..."
Clear mechanical sounds resounded in the tunnel, and the heavy metal door was slowly pushed open. Immediately, a wave of cold and hot air rushed out from the door.
Inside the gate, it is not dark, but a red light shines through
The two supreme elders looked at each other, then walked in one after the other.
There is a cave inside. The two old men seemed to have entered a world of ice and fire. The red light was projected from a hot and red hot magma.
This is an empty cave, which is far different from its name of "Ice and Fire Palace". In the middle of the cave, there is a pool of rolling lava with a "gurgling" sound, and around the magma pool, there are dark black
The stones, as for the mountain walls next to them, have a faint semi-white color on the surface.
What is a strange sight is that, except for the magma pool in the middle, this cave is filled with blocks of solid ice, and that solid ice does not melt.
Hot air and cold air blend with each other in the huge cave, creating a misty mist. Cold and hot air miraculously coexist here.
The closer we get to the magma pool, the thicker the fog becomes. At the edge of the pool, next to the red magma, there is a figure looming in the fog.
"This is..." Although they were mentally prepared, the two old men couldn't help but be stunned.
The two old men looked at the pool of hot and red hot magma in front of them. The magma liquid was slowly rolling, and at the same time it was filled with bubbles from time to time. The terrifying temperature even made them stir up the inner energy in their bodies.
The name of the Ice and Fire Palace must have come from this.
Magma and ice, two objects that cannot coexist, happen to appear in the same place. One is extremely hot and the other is extremely cold. At the junction of extreme cold and extreme heat, there is a person who seems to be sitting cross-legged next to the magma pool.
According to common sense, the magma layer should be very deep in the ground. Unexpectedly, it seems that magma appears at the bottom of the lake, only about two or three hundred meters above the ground... Here, in the endless past, there have been volcanic eruptions.
Even this warm water lake and even this warm valley are a huge volcanic crater
This magma layer is usually found very deep in the earth, but there are still some special areas on the earth where magma appears in relatively shallow places, such as volcanoes that are still in the active stage.
"Ouyang ignores it!" the great elder shouted in a deep voice, not loudly, but the whole cave roared.
The thick mist was shaken away by the sound, revealing a man with black hair and a bare upper body, a strong body, and a faint layer of luster on his bronze skin.
It was a man sitting cross-legged on a black stone. The most surprising thing is that this man’s hands and feet were locked with thick iron chains. The iron chains connected him to the ground.
Could it be that he...is imprisoned here?
The man sitting cross-legged has his eyes closed, his hair is completely black, his face is as expressionless as a stone sculpture, and his body is faintly flowing with streaks of fiery red and blazing white light.
"Who disturbed my practice?" The words came out of the man's mouth indifferently, without a trace of human emotion. Then, the man opened his eyes.
It turns out that it was not someone who locked this person up here, but he locked himself in this place where the two poles of ice and fire meet, and used the power of the two poles to practice.
The two old men knew that... this "madman", also known as "Ouyang Wangwu", had been meditating under the extreme environment of the Ice and Fire Palace for a long time, completely ignoring the things outside, and was definitely a martial arts idiot.
Ouyang, who was shirtless, sat quietly on the black stone, his eyes like lightning, and one eye glowed red like a flame, while the other glowed with a cold white light. The whole cave seemed to be dark.
Generally, only those two bright lights remain
Facing Ouyang Wuli, the two old men who were already quasi-innate warriors felt as if they were facing the entire world!
"It's scary. Has this guy already entered that realm that only appears in legends?" The two old men were shocked in their hearts.
"What's going on!" Ouyang ignored and closed his eyes again, saying indifferently
Speaking of which, these two supreme elders of the Ouyang family are still the uncles of Ouyang Wuli, but Ouyang Wuli doesn't seem to take them seriously.
