BXBX NOVEL Chapter 85: Red Zone
A few scattered clouds dotted the sky, adding a touch of texture to the expansive blue canvas.
As the sun climbed higher, its warm rays began to disperse the remnants of the night\'s chill, gradually filling the surroundings with a comfortable warmth.
The weather promised a delightful day ahead, with a pleasant mix of sunshine and a mild temperature that hinted at the arrival of spring.
One man and one woman were walking inside a forest, with each step carefully placed on the soft carpet of fallen leaves and twigs.
The man led the way, his strides confident and purposeful, as he navigated through the dense forest with a sense of familiarity.
Walking beside him, the woman mirrored his pace, her steps graceful and fluid. She moved with a certain lightness, her body swaying slightly as she absorbed the beauty of the forest around her.
Her feet delicately touched the ground, leaving little trace of her presence as she glided forward.
Together, they moved in harmony, their strides synchronized as they ventured inside the forest.
The man and woman were Chen Tian and Su Bingxin.
They had been traveling inside the forest throughout the entire night without taking any rest.
For cultivators, such a feat was not particularly significant, as they could stay awake for several days.
The higher one\'s cultivation, the further they were from mortal sensations.
Both Chen Tian and Su Bingxin mutually agreed that it would be in their best interest to reach the red zone as quickly as possible.
That is why both of them decided not to rest and to continue heading toward the border of the red zone.
Fortunately, they weren\'t too far from it, as it took them an entire night to reach their destination.
Upon their arrival, the sight that unfolded before their eyes left both of them utterly astounded.
The scene in front of them underwent a dramatic transformation, from a green forest.
They suddenly found themselves immersed in a Land of Fire and Ice, where opposing elements harmoniously clashed, giving rise to a mesmerizing spectacle that showcased the sheer might of nature.
The sky above them displayed a mesmerizing blend of vibrant red and deep blue hues.
Wisps of fiery red clouds intertwined with swirling patterns of icy blue, creating a surreal atmosphere that seemed to defy the laws of nature. The air crackled with a unique energy, charged by the clash of fire and ice.
As they glanced around, they noticed that the landscape was equally awe-inspiring.
Towering mountains, with their peaks covered in gleaming white snow, stretched across the horizon. However, as their gaze descended, they realized that beneath the icy facade, molten lava coursed through deep crevices, casting an eerie red glow from within.
"Wow, is that even possible?" Su Bingxin marveled at the stunning sight before them.
The contrast between the fiery and icy elements created a mesmerizing display that seemed almost otherworldly.
"Harmony of Elements," Chen Tian suddenly said surprised.
"Harmony of Elements? What that that?" Su Bingxin asked as it was the first time hearing about such a name.
Chen Tian explained, "Harmony of Elements is a concept in which two opposing elements, such as fire and ice, coexist in balance and harmony.
It\'s a rare occurrence in nature, but when it happens, it creates a breathtaking display like what we\'re seeing now."
Su Bingxin nodded in understanding, still in awe of the sight before them. They continued to admire the Harmony of Elements, taking in every detail of the stunning landscape.
It is a rare occurrence that arises when two distinct elemental realms overlap and blend together.
In this case, it is the collision of the Fire Realm, a scorching domain fueled by the essence of flame, and the Ice Realm, an icy kingdom governed by the frosty breath of winter.
\'This place is filled with Fire Law and Ice Law and it is at a high level at that.\' Chen Tian thought as he scanned the surroundings using his spirit sense.
He immediately sensed the powerful presence of Fire Law and Ice Law permeating the area.
In the world of cultivation, Fire Law and Ice Law are two fundamental branches of elemental cultivation, representing the profound forces of fire and ice.
"Let\'s enter and head inside," he said as he started walking inside the red zone.
As Chen Tian\'s feet landed on the red zone border, his dantian, the core energy center within his body, began to tremble with an intensity he had never experienced before.
It felt as though an invisible force had captured the attention of his dantian, drawing its focus with a magnetic pull.
"Wait, that happened once," Chen Tian recalled, a vivid memory surfacing in his mind.
It was a time when his dantian, the energy center within his body, began trembling just like it did now. This particular incident occurred when he stumbled upon a blue crystal, which he later discovered to be the coveted lightning crystal, essential for unlocking the Lightning element\'s powers.
\'Don\'t tell me there\'s another crystal inside this red zone!\'
If that were really the case, Chen Tian couldn\'t help but feel incredibly lucky. The idea of finding another crystal within the red zone filled him with excitement and anticipation.
He knew that discovering a second crystal meant that he could unlock another element.
"Is something wrong?" Su Bingxin inquired when she noticed Chen Tian abruptly stop walking.
Emerging from his thoughts, Chen Tian mustered a smile and shook his head, responding, "No, it\'s nothing. I simply remembered something. Let\'s proceed."
"Um," Su Bingxin nodded, and both of them started heading out inside the red zone.
This time, he possessed a clear destination to pursue, guided by the pulsating energy residing in his dantian. Vibrant and alive, his dantian served as a compass, pointing him towards a specific direction to follow.
Unexpectedly, as Su Bingxin stepped further into the red zone, she realized that the temperature was unlike anything she had ever imagined.
Instead of the scorching heat or bone-chilling cold she anticipated, a peculiar phenomenon took hold. The air shimmered with an otherworldly luminescence, casting a soft, ethereal glow upon the surroundings.
As Su Bingxin stepped cautiously forward, she noticed that the temperature began to fluctuate rapidly, oscillating between extremes within seconds.
One moment, the air around her grew warm, causing beads of sweat to form on her brow. But in the next instant, a chill enveloped her, sending shivers down her spine and forming frost on nearby plants.
Confounded by this mystical temperature dance, Su Bingxin realized that the red zone held a secret that defied the laws of nature.
It was a place where elemental forces clashed, and reality itself seemed malleable. The very fabric of the environment was imbued with ancient magic, giving rise to this extraordinary climatic phenomenon.
She still can\'t get over the fact that such a place exists.
"There let\'s head in that direction," Chen Tian said.
"Okay," Su Bingxin replied, continuing to move forward in the direction that Chen Tian had pointed toward. She remained bewildered by the fluctuating temperatures, unable to shake off the feeling that something mysterious and powerful was at play in this red zone.
