Inside the Serpent's Realm no matter where small independent realm you enter a sun and a moon can somehow still be seen and this sun and moon were the timers to let everyone inside the Serpent's Realm know if it will close.

The Serpent's Realm is opened until the sun rises once again, currently, the moon hanged up the sky together with the stars that stretch out as far as the eye can see. On top of a mountain, Wang Xue stood in front of the next gate that leads to the next realm.

Wang Xue's clothes were destroyed earlier and the only thing he had that covers a part of his body was his pants that were also barely hanging on. Fenrir was nowhere to be found as he was inside the Spirit Lake and was currently resting there.

Whirl!

Wang Xue's body was riddled with injuries from minor injuries like scratches to a stab wound and a hole at the side of his body, standing in front of an almond shape gate that constantly gave off a strange and attractive energy Wang Xue sat down and started meditating.

In front of the gate, Wang Xue didn't bother to set up Shroud or worry about someone coming leave for the next place, the time that everyone have to stay in this place was already halved so everyone that have confidence in their strength should have moved up to find treasures that lie in the next place.

However, Wang Xue didn't plan to move ahead as his body was currently it a beaten up condition like this, his clothes were tattered and the bamboo hat that he had been using was destroyed by the earlier fight so considering his status as one of the most wanted people in the whole province Wang Xue would need to start healing some of his injuries in case a fight breaks out.

The wounds that he had suffered earlier have mostly stopped bleeding thanks to his ice even the pain that he had been feeling was numb because of the coldness of his ice. Wang Xue meditated and started checking out his body from the inside out and upon entering his Qi Sea a huge surprise met with him.

"It merged." Wang Xue looked at the fourth layer of his Golden Pagoda and obviously saw the tainted image that it possesses, the purplish-black lines that run down to the bottom made it seem eerie but aside from that the simplistic design wasn't changed.

The continuation of the tail appeared as usual and the Pagoda still stood tall and sturdy and even if the fourth layer was lined with that black ice the pure golden color it had previously possessed was still there and was still shining as much as it could.

But this is not the only thing that he was able to notice because in the upper middle area of the Pagoda there was a little purple dot floating in front of the gate that he had yet to open, walking up to that light he found the Dark Demonic Ice waiting for the door to open.

He tried moving it out of curiosity as to what would happen but failed to do so sighing Wang Xue walked forward and opened the doors of the fourth layer of the Golden Pagoda, and unlike the outside, the fourth layer that that welcomed him changed dramatically.

There was ice covering the entire fourth layer and these ice were the same color as the ones he possesses and as he looked at this ice. The Dark Demonic Ice that seemed to be immovable suddenly moved and directly entered the fourth layer and floated in the middle of all those purplish black colored ice.

in the three earlier levels when Wang Xue enters he would find nothing and there would be empty space where nothing was placed, he had always thought that it was just the way it should be but seeing the contents of the fourth layer made Wang Xue rethink that idea.

Whirl!

"This Golden Pagoda truly never stops surprising me." Wang Xue wanted to get an explanation as to what really happened to his Golden Pagoda but when he tried communicating with the Dragon Dwelling Pagoda he was met with the usual silence and try as he might no response was given to him.

Wang Xue looked at his surroundings and thought a plethora of reasons as to how this happened but even he tried thinking long and hard Wang Xue was not able to think of a solid reason how this happened and as for what was said to him he was only able to draw out that it might have something to do with getting over that trial when e almost died.

He stopped thinking about it and threw it at the back of his mind because the more that he tried thinking of reasons more questions would only start popping up.

Without wasting any more time Wang Xue slowly moved forward into the middle of the fourth layer and because the Dark Demonic Ice was there Wang Xue chose to sit in the middle of the fourth layer while having the Dark Demonic Ice positions near his forehead.

Then, as he started feeling his body Wang Xue started treating the minor injuries that he had, most of his injuries were located outside as he was miraculously uninjured on the inside, it didn't take Wang Xue to take care of his minor injuries and before long all the scratches all over his body disappeared and as for the sword wounds they were starting to dry up.

At this time his only problem was his stab wound and the hole in his body, opening his eyes in the physical world Wang Xue took out a torn clothe from his storage bracelet and applied it to his wounds as a bandage.

While he wrapped his body with those clothes Wang Xue suddenly heard something not far from where he sat, he dropped everything he was doing and immediately took out the Ice Steel Sword from his storage bracelet, and without any warning Wang Xue channeled his spirit energy to his Ice Steel Sword and made swung it at the direction where that sound came from.

Slash! A rock 10 meters away from him was cut into two but human blood or body parts were severe away… but there was something that walked out, "Meow!" an outplace little white cat walked out.

"A demonic beast?" Seeing the little cat Wang Xue dropped his guard a little and checked if its hostility, as he was checking Wang Xue reached forward and tried touching the little thing and when his hands touched its fluffy fur without any problem Wang Xue was able to make sure it wasn't hostile.

A demonic beast were prideful beings and most of them do not want to be touched by humans but seeing this cat made Wang Xue wander something, "Doesn't cat hate cold temperatures?"

Confirming there was no hostility Wang Xue retracted his hand and went back to bandaging himself and as he was doing so he saw the white cat watching him as it sat there silently.

Upon finishing applying the bandage to himself Wang Xue didn't even changed his clothes and immediately stood up, he patted the dust from his butt and readied himself to head out.

Wang Xue didn't hesitate and step forward and entered the next area, leaving behind that cold place and a white cat that looked at the direction of Wang Xue looking all confused.
