As time passed, Lin Xintong remained motionless. A layer of light blue ice crystals condensed on her two smoky eyebrows and the tips of her hair. The ice crystals were like flowers, like hair accessories made of sapphire. △↗,.
On the first floor of the God Advent Tower, Lin Xintong chose the formation disk that suited her. From those two formation disks, Lin Xintong did not gain much, but the painting on the third floor of the God Advent Tower made her
Lin Xintong's heart was touched, and she just sat cross-legged in front of the portrait, entering a state of selflessness.
There is no way, no form, no emptiness and no self.
This is a kind of epiphany that can be encountered but not sought.
I don't know how long time passed. Very slightly, Lin Xintong's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes, revealing her eyes as clear as glass.
"Thank you, senior, for your guidance..."
Lin Xintong looked at the back in the portrait, whispered softly, and bowed respectfully.
The figure in the portrait is exactly the figure of the ancient empress.
In this God Advent Tower, spanning tens of millions of years, one is inside the portrait and the other is outside the portrait. Lin Xintong's temperament at this time is vaguely similar to that of the ancient empress.
She picked up the long sword and stood up, then walked to the fourth floor of the God Advent Tower without looking back.
In her recent epiphany, Lin Xintong saw many scenes, including some of the memories of the ancient empress.
It turns out... the God Advent Tower was not created by the ancient empress, it was an opportunity given to her by the ancient empress.
Back then, the ancient empress once walked up to the God Advent Tower step by step just like Lin Xintong.
"If I want to be like the ancient empress and change my fate of being born with no blood vessels, I have to follow the path she walked."
Lin Xintong said silently in her heart, stepping up the stairs step by step.
In front of her, there was a distant light door, which was the entrance to the fourth floor of the God Advent Tower.
While walking on the stairs, Lin Xintong's heart was unusually calm. At a certain moment, she raised her head and looked forward. Not far in front of her, there was a woman in white standing with a sword.
This woman in white was very similar in appearance and figure to Lin Xintong, just like the shadow Lin Xintong saw when she looked in the mirror.
She is the guardian of the fourth floor of the God Advent Tower.
Only by defeating her can you enter the fourth floor of the God Advent Tower.
"Draw out your sword!"
Lin Xintong said calmly.
The woman in white looked at Lin Xintong, her eyes fell on Lin Xintong's eyes, and they looked at each other. They both saw their own reflections in each other's eyes.
After a long time, the woman in white shook her head gently, "Unexpectedly, you already have her aura..."
"Huh?" Lin Xintong raised her eyebrows lightly, a little surprised by what the woman in white said. She originally thought that the woman in white was just a guardian without a mind and soul, but she didn't expect that she would say such words.
"You said 'she'? It seems that you are not just an energy body who only executes orders..."
As Lin Xintong spoke, the woman in white sighed softly and put away her sword. She said faintly: "You have made up your mind to renew your Juvenile Vein and control your destiny... You have a sword in your heart, but I don't have a sword in my heart. I will stop you.
I can’t help you.”
"Go ahead, but even if you pass my level, the fourth level will not be that easy for you."
When the woman in white spoke, her body exploded into a pile of light rain and disappeared.
A beam of divine light was left behind, falling from the sky and shining on Lin Xintong's body.
This beam of light finally condensed on Lin Xintong's arm and turned into a beautiful emperor's mark.
Lin Xintong counted a little and found that there were...eighteen pieces in total!
Eighteen Emperor Marks made Lin Xintong feel that she was one step closer to being recognized by the Empress' Secret Realm.
She walked up the steps and arrived at the fourth floor of the God Advent Tower. Standing in front of the light door, Lin Xintong stood silently for a while, and then stepped into the light door without hesitation.
The light door flickered for a while without any obstruction.
As soon as she entered the light gate, Lin Xintong felt like she was in another world.
Ahead, there is an endless stretch of frozen land, with the cold wind howling in your ears, and everywhere you look, there is a vast expanse of white ice and snow.
Between heaven and earth, it seemed that there was only one living creature like Lin Xintong.
This land of ice and snow, the endless snowfield, for some reason gives people a deep sense of despair.
At this moment, a soft voice sounded in Lin Xintong's ears: "Child, go over there. I can't give you your way. You have to use the sword in your hand to cut your way out."
This soft voice echoed in Lin Xintong's ears, making her feel inexplicably at ease.
Lin Xintong took a deep breath and looked far into the distance. There was no end in sight to the ice field. The sense of depression and despair lingered on the ice field, getting stronger and stronger.
This is like her innate terminal pulse, and it seems that no matter how hard she tries, she can't get rid of it.
Is this ice field... also the path that the ancient empress once walked?
Lin Xintong just looked at it like this and then stepped into the ice field resolutely.
She has known since she was a child that if she wants to go further in the future and survive, she will need to work a hundred times harder than others.
Even so, there may not be results.
The cold wind roared, like spinning flying knives, flying towards Lin Xintong. This cold wind carried a wanton energy impact that no ordinary warrior could withstand.
Lin Xintong held up her vitality to protect her body against the cold wind. In an instant, Lin Xintong felt the pressure.
The vitality was depleted very quickly. In this situation, Lin Xintong knew that she couldn't go far at all.
This ice field is boundless. Perhaps when her energy was exhausted, she had not yet reached the horizon that she could see.
This seems to be... an impossible challenge...
What will happen when your energy is completely exhausted and you are exposed to this terrifying ice field with only your physical body?
There was a danger of death in the Empress' Secret Realm. Lin Xintong didn't know what would happen if she failed in the trial she faced. However, she walked on without hesitation...
The biting ice, like the wanton sword energy, cut into Lin Xintong's delicate face. She showed no expression, and her steps did not stop at all because of these things.
Wearing white clothes and holding a sword, she walked alone.
Just like what the woman in white said, Lin Xintong was determined to renew her innate vitality, and she already had a sword in her heart.
Step after step, Lin Xintong looked extremely small on the vast snowfield when viewed from a high altitude. The ice and snow footprints left behind her were quickly wiped away by the cold wind...
Although her determination was strong, the vitality in Lin Xintong's body did not increase because of her determination. No miracle happened. Her vitality became less and less, and she could no longer withstand the cold wind.
Finally, a wisp of cold wind penetrated Lin Xintong's body-protecting energy and penetrated into her body.
This cold air immediately seeped into her meridians and blood vessels and penetrated deep into her bone marrow.
The bone-piercing cold made Lin Xintong's face suddenly turn pale.
She clearly felt that this cold air stimulated her innate vitality, making her whole body even colder, and slowly corroding her vitality.
