Chapter 124
“Senior Feng, I also want to enter the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm!” Yang Chen said slowly.
“You also want to enter the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm?” Feng Yuwan immediately shook her head and refused. “That’s impossible! The Ice Phoenix Secret Realm was left by the Ice Phoenix Ancestor, only the cultivators of the three great families can enter!”
“I’m also a cultivator of the three great families!” Yang Chen said, walking slowly to Feng Yuwan’s side. He extended his arms and embraced her soft waist.
“You!” Feng Yuwan’s body trembled immediately. She wanted to struggle, but thinking of this scoundrel’s physical strength, she gave up. She just snorted coldly: “How are you a cultivator of the three great families?”
“Why not?” Yang Chen said playfully. “Senior Feng, we are married now. As the husband of the Feng family patriarch and the city lord of Ice and Snow City, isn’t it fair to say I am a cultivator of the three great families?”
“You! Shameless!” Feng Yuwan turned her head and glared at Yang Chen. A blush appeared on her fair cheeks. This scoundrel really had thick skin.
However, Feng Yuwan didn’t persist in the end. After all, with her current strength and situation, she couldn’t strongly refuse Yang Chen. If she strongly refused, it might anger this scoundrel. Who knew what he would do then? After all, the fate of Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou was right in front of her. Although this scoundrel always took advantage of her and married her, Feng Yuwan didn’t think Yang Chen was a kind-hearted person. This scoundrel appeared to be a gentleman on the outside, but he was ruthless and shameless inside. Moreover, the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm was a world of ice. Yang Chen, being a fire cultivator, wouldn’t gain much even if he went in. In such extraordinary times, she could only go against the ancestral rules.
“It seems Senior Feng has agreed! Thank you!” Yang Chen said, Feng Yuwan’s cheeks suddenly flushed, and she became flustered, quickly saying: “Yang Chen, I agree! But you better behave yourself! You scoundrel!”
“Senior Feng, I’m thankful!”
A few days later, Yang Chen and Feng Yuwan arrived at a forbidden area in the City Lord’s Mansion. The City Lord’s Mansion of Ice and Snow City covered a vast area, like a small city. However, this forbidden area, where all elders and disciples were forbidden to enter, was just an ancient palace. But the palace was surrounded by layers of formations. Even if someone wanted to force their way in, without the Soul Transformation Realm cultivation, they couldn’t even break the formation.
Entering inside, a stone tablet several meters high stood in the center of the hall. The stone tablet was entirely snow-white. Inscriptions carved on it formed a phoenix pattern. Around the stone tablet, the ice-attribute spiritual energy was extremely dense. It was five or six times more concentrated than the outside world.
Yang Chen gazed at the stone tablet in front of him. He felt a spatial fluctuation. These ice-attribute spiritual energies were emanating from the stone tablet. “Senior Feng, is the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm inside the stone tablet?”
“Yes!” Feng Yuwan nodded slightly. She bowed to the stone tablet, her jade-like face full of reverence.
“The cultivation of the Ice Phoenix Ancestor was incredibly powerful. The Ice Phoenix Secret Realm is a small world created by the ancestor! Moreover, within this small world, there is a wisp of the ancestor’s soul! The soul can continuously absorb energy from the void and transform it into pure ice-attribute spiritual energy! This is why every new city lord can rapidly increase their cultivation after entering it!
“Yang Chen, before entering, I must warn you that the Ice Phoenix Ancestor is very likely still alive. If she senses you, an outsider, the consequences are beyond my control!”
“Still alive?” Yang Chen was slightly stunned. Ice and Snow City had existed for forty to fifty thousand years. If that Ice Phoenix Ancestor was still alive, wouldn’t she have lived for at least forty to fifty thousand years?
But thinking about it, being able to create a small world, this level of cultivation was indeed incredible. And being a beast, its lifespan was much longer than that of humans. Living for forty to fifty thousand years and still being alive was plausible.
However, Yang Chen was not afraid. On the contrary, he was a bit excited. After all, that would be an old phoenix that had lived for tens of thousands of years.

Feng Yuwan raised the Ice Phoenix Seal in her hand, and it immediately emitted a brilliant blue light. Without hesitation, she merged the seal into the stone tablet. Instantly, a force of spatial energy filled the air around them. The once silent stone tablet began to form a white light gate, from which an intense wave of icy cold surged outward.
Yang Chen followed Feng Yuwan as they stepped through the gate. When they opened their eyes again, they were greeted by a vast landscape of mountains, plains, lakes, and snow-covered terrain stretching endlessly into the horizon. This space truly deserved to be called a small world. With Yang Chen’s keen eyesight, he couldn’t even see the edges; the space spanned at least thousands of miles. The power needed to create such a vast space was beyond imagination, a testament to the might of that ancient phoenix.
At this moment, Feng Yuwan took out an ancient map, studied it briefly, and then flew toward the horizon. Yang Chen followed closely behind. It wasn’t long before they arrived at a small lake. Despite the extreme cold, the lake had not frozen over. Instead, its surface shimmered with gentle ripples. Yang Chen reached out to touch the water and was surprised to feel an icy chill that penetrated deep into his bones.
This was no ordinary cold—Yang Chen possessed Primordial fire, the blood of a divine dragon, and had reached the Ninth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm in body cultivation, yet this lake water still made him feel an intense cold.
“This is Profound Ice Spirit Water, formed from concentrated icy energy!” Feng Yuwan said with a hint of schadenfreude.
“If you weren’t a body cultivator, just a single touch would have been enough to freeze your hand off!” Seeing Yang Chen suffer was one of the few things that brought her joy.
“Profound Ice Spirit Water?” Yang Chen’s expression grew serious. He had read about it in ancient texts. Profound Ice Spirit Water only forms in places with extremely dense icy spiritual energy, and usually, it’s just a small puddle. Whenever it appears, it causes fierce competition among ice-attribute cultivators. Yet, before him lay an entire lake. Though the lake wasn’t large, about a hundred meters in diameter, if all of it were absorbed and refined, Feng Yuwan’s strength would increase tremendously.
Feng Yuwan’s beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment as she gazed at the lake. According to her clan’s records, each time the secret realm opened, a small pool of Profound Ice Spirit Water would form, and refining it would rapidly enhance one’s strength. But this was no mere pool—it was a whole lake!
