Sha Tongtian suddenly became excited.

Even the cultivation of a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage couldn't keep calm.

Nearly sixty years of time.

Just to find the Heaven and Earth Extreme Cold Flame.

For so many years in the Secret Realm, he had been impatient, troubled, and broken down.

And now, he finally found the Extreme Cold Flame as he wished!

"Daoist Fellow Sha, please calm down."

Fang Zhi reminded, "If that disturbance is truly the Extreme Cold Flame, obtaining it might be difficult."

"How so?"

"That disturbance is under the sea, three miles from the surface, and one mile below the sea bottom, there's no temperature, much colder than here, several times over!"

The current environment is already uncomfortable for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

Going three miles deep, with Sha Tongtian's cultivation.

Might face unforeseen accidents.

"No matter! Transmit the location to me!"

Sha Tongtian had waited for over fifty years.

Now he's just one step away from obtaining the Extreme Cold Flame.

Even if thorns are everywhere, so what!

Without hesitation, after receiving Fang Zhi's Divine Sense, Sha Tongtian pierced through the frozen sea surface with one finger.

Then plunged into the seawater regardless.

"Ai, Daoist Fellow Sha is too impatient."

Watching the sea gradually freezing, Fang Zhi shook his head helplessly.

Ma Gao and others felt the same.

Standing at the edge of the glacier already felt uncomfortable.

Not to mention diving into the bottom of the sea, worse than now.

That's simply life-threatening.

Xia Liu didn't speak; he was confident that Sha Tongtian couldn't reach the Extreme Cold Flame!

Because below one mile in the sea, it's extremely harsh.

With his Nascent Soul Mid-Stage Energy Body, he might overcome one mile.

But the last mile, no way he could do it.

If he insists, even his soul might freeze in the ice ocean.

Boom!

After a while, a beam of light shot out from below the ice layer.

Closely followed by a figure with an indifferent expression.

It was Sha Tongtian!

"Daoist Fellow Sha, how did it go?"

Seeing Sha Tongtian come out in such a short time, the crowd could roughly guess the reason.

Unable to help, they could only offer verbal greetings.

"With my Energy Body, I can't reach the location of the Extreme Cold Flame."

Sha Tongtian was almost going crazy.

This is simply humiliating.

To be a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage powerhouse.

A Peak cultivator of the Baichuan Realm.

And the result...

"There's nothing I can do, I had long suspected there were issues beneath the deep sea."

"What Daoist Fellow Fang said is right; within one mile range, it feels extremely warm, but once beyond that, it's like Impermanence Hell, alternating extreme cold and heat, even Nascent Soul Stage Energy Body can't endure much."

Recalling that taste of life worse than death, Sha Tongtian's face paled considerably.

"Daoist Fellow Sha, let me use the Sea Fetching Moon technique to force out the Extreme Cold Flame!"

Ma Gao suddenly stepped forward.

Sea Fetching Moon is a low-rank divine power passed down by the Ma Family.

To be listed among divine skills, its might is naturally beyond question.

"No way!"

Sha Tongtian's response was quick: "If you use divine power, it might alarm the Extreme Cold Flame, causing it to flee in an instant."

"This..."

Even divine power art was useless, Ma Gao didn't know what to say.

"Daoist Fellow Ma's good intention is appreciated, the Sea Fetching Moon divine power is unrivaled in might; I am also worried about alarming the Extreme Cold Flame, so we must think of a foolproof strategy."

Worried Ma Gao might misunderstand, Sha Tongtian explained again.

For a moment, silence filled the scene.

After a while, Sha Tongtian shifted his gaze to Xia Liu.

The Fire Origin Xia Liu previously exhibited, along with altering Fang Zhi's Spirit Formation structure.

Both were high-strength techniques.

Perhaps he could, with his high-rank Fire Origin, venture deep into the sea bottom and capture the Extreme Cold Flame!

Thinking of this, Sha Tongtian immediately spoke: "Daoist Fellow Xia, do you have any solutions?"

Instantly, everyone's attention turned to Xia Liu.

Indeed!

Xia Liu's Energy Body had always been mysterious.

And his Fire Origin was far beyond ordinary cultivators.

Perhaps he might have the Origin Technique, who knows!

"I might give it a try, but..."

Xia Liu didn't finish, waiting to see Sha Tongtian's attitude.

"Daoist Fellow Xia, please speak frankly, even if I can't retrieve this Extreme Cold Flame, if you can, I would accept giving you half the flame's essence!"

"Oh? Since Daoist Fellow Sha said so, then I shamelessly agree, indeed I wish for half of the Extreme Cold Flame's essence!"

Xia Liu responded.

...

The crowd went speechless.

Sha Tongtian spoke that way due to excitement.

Or perhaps simply joking.

Like passing someone else's door, and they invite you inside for a meal.

If it's a relative, fine; but if merely acquaintances, it's just politeness, not genuine friends.

A casual remark, but if taken seriously, it's very awkward!

Even Sha Tongtian didn't expect Xia Liu to accept his words directly.

After some consideration, he forced a smile, "Haha! If I can't retrieve the Extreme Cold Flame, Daoist Fellow Xia, if you can capture it, then as you said!"

"Good!"

Xia Liu quickly responded.

Sha Tongtian pointed and blasted away the glacier, clearing the way for Xia Liu.

Once Xia Liu entered the sea.

Sha Tongtian asked softly, "Everyone, what do you think?"

"Just watch."

"At such times, Daoist Fellow He should not joke."

"What is he but a thing, deserving to be compared with us? In my view, once he retrieves the Extreme Cold Flame, hmm!"

Ma Gao made a gesture of slicing his neck with a knife.

The six present were indeed the top powerhouses of the Baichuan Realm.

Led by Sha Tongtian.

In such an environment, Xia Liu wouldn't stand a chance against them, even as Nascent Soul Late Stage.

Moreover, he'd face five Nascent Soul Early Stage and one Nascent Soul Mid-Stage!

Just this lineup could contend with a regular Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator!

"Haha! What Daoist Fellow Ma said is very true!"

Fang Zhi wouldn't forget how Xia Liu forcibly altered his Spirit Formation, making him lose face in front of everyone.

If he didn't kill him, his Daoist heart would have a flaw!

"Alright! That's settled; later, I'll strike first while others remain vigilant of his every move, and do not allow him any chance to escape!"

Deep down, Sha Tongtian hoped these people harbored the intent to kill Xia Liu.

Wanting to share half of the Extreme Cold Flame's essence with him.

Just look at their faces!

At this time, as Xia Liu ventured to two miles depth from the sea surface, he felt overwhelming pressure bearing down on him.

And the extreme cold and hot seawater also caused discomfort to his body.

"Xia Liu, prepare yourself, I've just glimpsed those old guys intend to kill you after you retrieve the Extreme Cold Flame."

Bai Jue transmitted his divine sense.

He had always felt Sha Tongtian and the others were merely exploiting Xia Liu.

And it turns out they really were.

"I understand, now I'm considering how to store the Extreme Cold Flame and delve into the bottom..."
