Li Jinzhi habitually squinted his eyes, only to see the dark night covered by a curtain of rain. A woman ran to the door of a private Christian orphanage, holding a small swaddling cloth in her hands.

Li Jinzhi, who was originally expressionless, suddenly opened his eyes wide. He leaned forward slightly, trying to see the woman in the rain.

The woman's clothes were disheveled and her hair was disheveled. She placed the swaddling cloth in her hand at the entrance of the orphanage, ignoring the heavy rain and the baby's loud cries.

She turned around and walked back the way she came without looking back. Li Jinzhi could even see a trace of joy in her eyes.

He recognized the church that had the words "Love Orphanage" written on it. He had stayed there until he was 16 years old.

However, he didn't recognize the woman just now. If he ignored the somewhat familiar nose and lips, he didn't think he would know her.

He suddenly closed his eyes and took a few quick breaths, forcibly suppressing the urge to question her. This was an illusion. He didn't have a mother. Even if he did, she was already dead. So many years had passed, but she hadn't appeared even once.

He suppressed the sorrow in his heart and opened his eyes again. Li Jinzhi had already calmed down. He stood in the rain and watched the woman leave expressionlessly.

The dark scene changed again and Li Jinzhi returned to the corridor. He waited for a long time, but no new illusions appeared. He finally felt relieved.

He looked at Ye Cheng beside him and saw that his eyes were tightly shut and his brows were tightly knitted. He seemed to be experiencing an extremely painful memory.

He took out the Illumination Pearl and lit up the surroundings. Everything in the ice corridor was reflected in his eyes. He saw that the two ice walls were respectively carved with a hollow Ice Phoenix and a Four-clawed Flood Dragon.

The phoenix head and the dragon head were both facing the end of the corridor. Li Jinzhi didn't move. He closed his eyes and meditated, waiting for Ye Cheng to wake up.

Li Jinzhi kept circulating the cultivation method in his body, but the doubts in his mind grew bigger and bigger. The only two ancient bloodlines in the Northern Frozen Realm had been enemies for a long time, but the ice walls here were engraved with the Ice Dragon and the Ice Phoenix respectively.

Indeed, there was a saying that dragons and phoenixes were auspicious. However, the Ice Phoenix and Ice Dragon of this world could not possibly be auspicious. The possibility of both of them being auspicious was very high.

Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Li Jinzhi threw away all distracting thoughts and slowly entered a meditative state. Since the Monster Core was formed, he could now comprehend the power of space.

According to the introduction of the Nirvana Three Revolutions Technique, the power of space is first to touch, feel, and touch. Next is to fuse, blend, merge oneself into space, into nothingness, and then tear apart.

After circulating the cultivation method three times, Li Jinzhi tried to use his divine sense to touch the void. It was empty. He retracted his divine sense and slowly released more of it. The blood in his body slowly flowed into his dantian, nourishing the Monster Core.

The woodshed was small and shabby. Many strips of different lengths were drawn on the dilapidated walls. A teenager with bloody holes all over his body was lying on the firewood. He didn't moan or cry. He just stood there, motionless.

Ye Cheng looked at his surroundings and the teenager who was like a corpse. The corners of his mouth twitched.

His heart felt like it was being tightly clenched. He hadn't felt this kind of suffocating feeling for many years.

It seemed like he hadn't felt it since his mother died.

"Creak."

The door of the woodshed was pulled open. A woman with messy hair walked in. When she saw the teenager, she panicked. "Yu 'er, who hit you? You child, didn't I tell you not to go out and cause trouble?" She blurted out a reproachful sentence.

The teenager lying on the ground didn't move, nor did he answer.

The woman didn't get angry. She went out and took out some ointment to apply it carefully. She looked like a loving mother.

If that teenager wasn't Ye Cheng himself, perhaps he would really think that the teenager was playing around and got into trouble.

But only he knew that it was his mother who cut him with scissors when she went crazy.

Ye Cheng curled his lips and shifted his gaze to the mottled scratches on the wall. For many years of helplessness, he left one every day to prove that he was still alive.

Fortunately, he survived. Fortunately, he was still alive. Fortunately, he met Li Jinzhi.

His heart warmed. Ye Cheng squatted down and looked at the woman in front of him. He didn't seem to feel depressed anymore.

The woman who was applying ointment suddenly turned her head and looked at the empty corner of the wall. Her eyes were confused.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed. The warm yellow illumination pearl illuminated the ice corridor in front of him. The trace of coolness that came from beside him belonged to Li Jinzhi. Ye Cheng unconsciously hugged his body. He sniffed the scent of the other party's neck longingly.

It was familiar and made him yearn for it.

For as long as he could remember, she was really the only one.

Li Jinzhi seemed to sense his movements. He stopped practicing and slowly opened his eyes. "What did you encounter in the illusion?" He frowned.

"Mother." Ye Cheng recalled that woman and frowned slightly.

Li Jinzhi suddenly understood. No wonder the other party was in so much pain just now.

He sighed and stood up. His divine sense couldn't reach the void. Perhaps his cultivation was not high enough, or his divine sense was not thick enough, or his demon core was damaged.

But now was not the time to think about this. When Li Jinzhi was probing the void, he found that the deeper he went in this ice corridor, the greater the pressure. In the end, his divine sense could not move an inch.

"This place is extremely strange." Li Jinzhi stood up and looked at the end of the darkness.

"Let's go in and take a look." Ye Cheng hugged his body tightly and whispered in Li Jinzhi's ear.

Li Jinzhi nodded and stepped forward. The warm yellow light slowly moved forward, illuminating the totem patterns on the wall with vibrant colors.

Halfway through, Li Jinzhi suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the totem on the wall.

He remembered that he had once seen a miscellaneous book called Teng Qu in the library. It was recorded that there were some ancient totems that could be seen moving if one injected spiritual energy into them.

Li Jinzhi felt that the book was very fresh when he first saw it. Now that he saw the totem under the light, he remembered the book.

Under Ye Cheng's puzzled gaze, Li Jinzhi leaned sideways and put his hand on the totem. The spiritual energy in his dantian slowly flowed out of his palm along his meridians, carrying some electric arcs. As soon as the spiritual energy left his body, it was quickly absorbed by the ice wall.

As more and more spiritual energy was absorbed, the Ice Phoenix and Ice Dragon on the two walls slowly moved.

The Ice Phoenix raised its head high and flapped its huge wings, as if it was going to fly into the sky. The huge Ice Dragon moved slowly, and there seemed to be a dragon's roar and a phoenix's cry coming from the wall.

The wall stopped absorbing spiritual energy. Li Jinzhi withdrew his hand and stood quietly to look at the totem picture scroll.

"This is?" Ye Cheng asked, puzzled.

"A formatted totem."

Li Jinzhi blurted out without thinking. Then he was stunned and quickly corrected himself, "A moving totem."

“？”

Li Jinzhi was silent. "You should read more books."

Ye Cheng's expression showed that he was wronged. He stared at Li Jinzhi and asked, "No one bought me books."

Li Jinzhi opened his mouth and then remembered Ye Cheng's previous situation. He touched the small bump on the dragon's head and sighed. "You have me in the future."

On the other side, the dragon and phoenix on the totem flew faster and faster, as if they were about to break out of the ice.

With a soft sound, the two creatures broke free at the same time. The Ice Phoenix raised its neck and roared. The Ice Dragon suddenly swung its tail and wrapped it around the Ice Phoenix's feathers. The loud roar suddenly stopped, and the Ice Phoenix dodged quickly.

It opened its beak and tried to bite. The Ice Dragon dodged sideways, and its four huge claws pinched the Ice Phoenix's wings.

"They're fighting." Li Jinzhi raised his eyebrows and concluded calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ice Dragon shook its long tail and wrapped its whole body around the Ice Phoenix's feathers. The Ice Phoenix turned its head and poked the Ice Dragon's eyes with its beak.

"But why didn't they use magic power?" Ye Cheng was puzzled. "Did they fight hand-to-hand?"

"I don't know." Before Li Jinzhi could finish his sentence, the scene in front of him made his jaw drop.

The Ice Dragon quickly dodged the Ice Phoenix's stab and wrapped its neck around the Ice Phoenix's head. Its abdomen was tightly pressed against the Ice Phoenix's lower body. At this point, the entire dragon was hanging on the other party's body. The Ice Phoenix flapped its wings twice, as if it was struggling. Its two legs kicked wildly, as if it wanted to kick the Ice Dragon off its body.

Of course, this didn't change Li Jinzhi's mind. The Ice Dragon wrapped tighter and tighter around the Ice Phoenix, and the scales on its lower body slowly cracked open. A ferocious dragon was exposed, dripping with liquid. It wrapped itself tightly around the Ice Phoenix's body skillfully, and the black dragon, which was covered with barbs, disappeared into the Ice Phoenix's body.

The Ice Dragon succeeded and roared towards the sky. Its body tightened and loosened continuously. Li Jinzhi could even see the angle at which the barbs rubbed against the entrance.

The Ice Phoenix hissed and flapped its wings wildly, but it no longer had the strength to resist.

"This Ice Dragon hasn't fallen in love yet," Ye Cheng commented.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the scales on the Ice Dragon's lower abdomen slowly open again. Another ferocious dragon came out, and with a shake, it drilled its entire body into the Ice Phoenix's body.

Li Jinzhi stared blankly at the battle between the phoenix-dragon and the dragon in mid-air, speechless.

He thought that there would be a fierce battle to watch, but in the end, it was still a fierce battle.

"It has fallen in love," Ye Cheng said faintly, but his soybean-like eyes were shining slightly. The scales on his lower abdomen opened slightly.

Li Jinzhi turned his head to look at Ye Cheng, only to see that the other party's entire body was wrapped around his body. This position was an eyesore no matter how he looked at it.

He turned his head to look at the Ice Dragon wrapped around the Ice Phoenix and said coldly, "Let go, get down."

Ye Cheng paused for a moment, then reluctantly moved his body and let go.

"Why hasn't it fallen in love at all?" Li Jinzhi was a little curious. This was the first time he had seen two dragons enter the cave in a real sense.

"The first one can't spurt out its' n '. It can only secrete aphrodisiac mucus." Ye Cheng turned his head to look at Li Jinzhi, his eyes dark. "Only an Ice Dragon that has fallen in love will reveal its second' n 'in front of the person it loves. It's a real' n 'that can spit out dragon essence."

"I see." Li Jinzhi nodded as if he had understood something. He felt a little strange, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

After pondering for a long time, he continued to watch the fierce battle in mid-air. He couldn't help but fall silent.
