The three contracted beasts, as well as the other cultivators, were curious as they observed everyone. Until the end, no one would know the outcome.
This kind of thing isn't solely determined by strength; it's about who has a stronger affinity with the mysterious ice-cold fire.
"Xiao Bai, Bai Shi, do you think our master will succeed?" Xiao Hei spoke slowly. "This ice-cold fire looks like a treasure."
"It's hard to say, but considering our master's abilities, I think it should be possible," Xiao Bai pondered. Their master was no ordinary person. Throughout their journey, their master had created numerous miracles.
"What do you mean 'should be possible'? It's definitely possible!" Bai Shi furrowed its brow in dissatisfaction. Among the three beasts, it had the greatest trust in Bai Li Hong Zhuang's strength. Unlike Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, who had traveled together with Bai Li Hong Zhuang, witnessed many things, and remained indifferent to many matters.
Ever since it opened its eyes, Bai Shi had been following Bai Li Hong Zhuang. Along the way, it developed a blind admiration for her. Its master was invincible, and no one could compare to her!
Bai Shi never had a pleasant expression for anyone who questioned its master.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai shrank their necks upon seeing Bai Shi's attitude. It wasn't that they didn't believe in their master's abilities, but this kind of luck-dependent situation didn't solely rely on strength.
As everyone's spiritual power made contact with the mysterious ice-cold fire, the fire became more agitated. It hadn't expected to be surrounded by so many people!
Clearly, being surrounded like this left it with almost no chance of escape.
However, flames were inherently unruly and wouldn't be easily tamed.
The ice-cold fire quickly started to burn, intending to prevent everyone from absorbing it!
When the ice-cold fire struggled frantically, even a momentary lapse would result in the flames scorching their spiritual power.
Under such circumstances, some cultivators couldn't help but withdraw from the competition.
Having their spiritual power burned by the flames was an uncomfortable sensation.
One by one, cultivators withdrew, but several of the stronger ones persisted.
No risk, no reward!
If they didn't go through hardships and pain, how could they absorb the ice-cold fire?
Everyone who had reached this stage had experienced many difficulties and obstacles. Many times, success was achieved by gritting their teeth and persevering.
If they gave up, they would have nothing.
The ice-cold fire struggled fiercely, but it was still not an adult ice-cold fire. It had only recently been born in this place.
After a desperate struggle, the ice-cold fire exhausted its strength, but the spiritual power of these individuals continued to bind it.
The ice-cold fire understood that this time it truly couldn't escape!
However, it still had a choice!
With that in mind, the ice-cold fire directly approached the slightly softer strand of spiritual power among them.
After a moment, Bai Li Hong Zhuang, Long Xuan Jing, and the others all opened their eyes almost simultaneously. The final outcome had already been determined.
The contracted beasts and the previously withdrawn cultivators all looked at Bai Li Hong Zhuang and the others in confusion, unsure of who had succeeded in the end.
At that moment, Bai Li Hong Zhuang's voice resounded, "I need to seclude myself for cultivation. Can everyone rest here for a while?"
As soon as she spoke, everyone understood the result.
