Chapter 408 Ice Lake Lotus Terrace
Chapter 408: Ice Lake Lotus Platform
At the peak of the snow-capped mountain, there was an ice lake.
The lake water emitted a blue light, creating a dreamlike scene.
In the midst of the lake water, snow lotus flowers bloomed one after another.
This scenery left Zhang Chi deeply shocked.
"No wonder it's the Immortal Cultivation World, even lakes grow on mountaintops."
Zhang Chi quietly commented. In the Immortal Cultivation World, the laws of physics sometimes fail, which is reasonable.
They were standing on the edge of the lake, where some broken ice slowly drifted towards them and stopped in front of the lotus pickers.
At this moment, Zhang Chi felt a greater sense of awe towards the mountain deity.
The water in this lake was extremely cold. Zhang Chi vaguely felt that if he touched it, he would probably be frozen into an ice sculpture.
He began to gather his mind and brainwash himself.
Eliminating all distractions in his mind, he prepared to step onto the ice.
The mountain deity had already explained that they would ride on the ice to pick the lotus, and the ice would automatically take them to the side of the lotus.
If their minds were clear, they could pick the snow lotus and receive the deity's blessing.
If they harbored evil intentions, the ice would shatter, and the person on the ice would naturally fall into the lake forever.
That's why the mountain deity emphasized that they could be rescued before picking the snow lotus, but not afterwards.
This ice lake was the realm of the deity, and even though they were the deity's messengers, they couldn't trespass.
Moreover, once someone fell into the water, they would die instantly. This was the ultimate ice that could freeze a person's will and soul, with no possibility of rescue.
The deity was merciful and wouldn't arbitrarily take someone's life.
If someone's life was taken by the deity, no one would go to rescue them.
Zhang Chi gathered his mind and stepped onto the ice. Gu Youyou also became nervous.
She felt that this place was very terrifying, and even she didn't know if she could rescue Zhang Chi in time.
However, she was prepared to instantly control Zhang Chi's body using Demon Race secret techniques.
Perhaps she could escape from the ice lake.
After Zhang Chi stepped onto the ice, Miao Yin also stepped onto the same piece of ice.
Then, the ice began to move, drifting towards a pair of lotus flowers.
Miao Yin had already experienced a miracle, so she couldn't help but fold her hands together and silently pray, "Thank you for the deity's bestowal."
She didn't know the deity's name, but she thanked them anyway.
Before long, a pair of lotus flowers appeared in front of them.
These snow lotus flowers were crystal clear and should have been transparent, but they were reflected as a light blue color by the lake water, making them look very beautiful.
"Do you want to pick them?"
Miao Yin hesitated. She loved Zhang Chi, there was no doubt about that, but she wasn't so confident about whether Zhang Chi loved her.
Zhang Chi held one of her hands and said firmly, "We are of one mind, there's no need to doubt."
With that, he used his other hand to reach for the root of the lotus flower, and Miao Yin also reached out and grabbed the same spot.
With a little force, the root of the lotus flower, like delicate ice, shattered upon contact.
They successfully obtained the pair of lotus flowers.
Their eyes met, and their feelings were unspoken.
"Let's go pick another one!"
Miao Yin heard what the mountain deity said. The pair of lotus flowers didn't count towards the number they could pick, so if they could pick the pair, both she and Zhang Chi could pick an additional one.
And since they could pick the first one, they naturally could pick the second one.
Zhang Chi had no objections. His method was obviously feasible.
The ice beneath their feet began to move again. However, after passing many snow lotus flowers, the ice didn't stop, but continued to drift towards the center of the ice lake.
"Where are we going?"
Miao Yin found it strange, and Zhang Chi also realized that something seemed off.
At the moment, it was impossible to determine whether it was good or bad, so he could only hold onto Miao Yin and be prepared to run at any time.
As long as the situation is not right, he will take Miao Yin and hide in the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm.
Plucking flowers may have failed, but at least they managed to save their lives.
However, with the current changes, it is hard to tell if it is a good thing. Zhang Chi can only observe for now.
As the ice drifted, they moved further away from the shore, and the nearby snow lotus became scarce. However, occasionally they would see one or two, emitting even more spiritual energy.
In other words, even among snow lotus flowers, there are differences in quality?
Moreover, the choice does not lie with themselves, but with the gods.
Many signs indicate that the god of the snow mountain truly exists.
Zhang Chi felt the pressure, as did Gu Youyou.
Although she was only a half-step Celestial Demon, she was not necessarily a match for the gods.
Being in the territory of the gods, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Finally, they arrived at the center of the lake.
Looking around from here, there was only a vast expanse of white, with the sky-blue water of the Milky Way.
When they looked at the lake from the shore, they could clearly see its size with their naked eyes.
But when they arrived at the center of the lake and looked around, they could clearly see the scenery where the water met the sky.
This is not scientifically possible!
Could it be that they have entered a certain Secret Realm?
It was at this moment that Zhang Chi and Miao Yin simultaneously heard a voice: "Welcome to the Divine Domain."
Miao Yin: "......"
Zhang Chi: "......"
We just came to pick a flower, how did we end up in the Divine Domain?
The two of them leaned against each other, feeling anxious.
At this moment, there was only one lotus flower left in the center of the lake.
This snow lotus flower emerged from the water, reaching a height of four to five meters, with petals of Thirty-sixth Grade. After Miao Yin and Zhang Chi arrived, this huge snow lotus flower slowly descended until it was level with the water.
Miao Yin also heard a voice in her heart.
"Step onto the lotus platform."
She instinctively followed the instructions.
Zhang Chi did not hear this voice. Seeing Miao Yin stepping onto the lotus platform, he naturally felt worried.
Just as he was about to follow, a force of resistance instantly pushed him away. At the same time, the lotus flower closed up, turning into a huge flower bud and sinking in the blink of an eye.
From Zhang Chi's perspective, it looked like Miao Yin was eaten by a lotus flower.
"Miao Yin!"
"Don't panic! This is the realm of the gods, there won't be any man-eating monsters here."
Sensing what Zhang Chi was about to do, Gu Youyou couldn't hide anymore and quickly reminded him.
"Youyou!?"
Learning that Gu Youyou had actually awakened, Zhang Chi was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time, Miao Yin encountered a problem again, making it difficult for him to feel at ease.
"Don't worry, maybe she has some kind of opportunity."
Gu Youyou had an implicit meaning in her words.
This is the territory of the gods. If it is an opportunity, it would be best. If not, they have no way to deal with it now.
Making a big fuss would be meaningless. It would be better to temporarily leave this dangerous place and observe from a distance.
Zhang Chi was not a foolish person. With just a hint from Gu Youyou, he understood.
Soon, the ice carried Zhang Chi swiftly towards the shore. This time, he clearly felt the scene change.
Before long, he was brought to the shore by the ice.
At this moment, he still held the two lotus flowers in his hands.
The presence of the divine messenger waiting on the shore had a great impact on Zhang Chi. Seeing that he had two flowers in his hands but his companions were nowhere to be seen...
This...
If it weren't for the fact that the snow lotus flower could discern good from evil, they would have assumed that Zhang Chi had pushed his companions into the water in order to keep the treasure for himself...
