This was precisely because a barrier had appeared around his Ice Element nebula. No matter how much he cultivated or meditated, his magic power would not increase by even half a point.
But at this very moment, his 49 star-points seemed to have been strengthened, constantly ramming their 'heads' against the outside of the entire nebula.
It seemed even they had had enough of this tiny dwelling and wanted to open up a broader space. Thus, the 49 star-points became Tang Miao's vanguard in assaulting the barrier. With just one impact, a crack appeared in the thick cultivation barrier!
Feeling the 49 star-points continuously striking the barrier outside the nebula, the nebula was about to expand. Their restless energy was practically exploding; the small nebula could not contain their wildness!
The cracks in the cultivation barrier grew larger and larger. Tang Miao held his breath and focused, pouring energy like a waterfall into his nebula with his will, determined to break through the barrier!
Every advancement was accompanied by immense spiritual pain. This splitting headache made him want to give up several times… He even considered using the Galaxy Vein!
However, Tang Miao ultimately endured. Because he knew that if he used the Galaxy Vein for his first High-tier advancement, it would undoubtedly make it even harder to break through new realms in the future!
A person's spirit and mind are essentially their soul. To make the spirit strong and the mind firm is to elevate the soul. This is also why a mage's advancement is always painful; the transformation of the soul is never an easy task… He sat cross-legged there, and the power of his domain continued to linger. The ice on Mu Ningxue's body had completely disappeared. Even her Ice Crystal Bow was forcibly manifested… Then, another surge of power rushed into Tang Miao's body. This should be the power of the Ice Crystal Bow!
Tang Miao, who had been gritting his teeth and whose face was somewhat contorted, instantly felt a great deal of relief the moment this power entered his body…
And it was this sudden help from the Ice Crystal Bow that instantly covered Tang Miao's body with a thick layer of ice… "Nebula transforms into a galaxy, 343 star-points!"
The entire Ice Element galaxy flowed within Tang Miao's spiritual world, even more magnificent and grand than the previously confined Ice Element nebula. Starlight connected into a single expanse, beautifully flowing in the vast spiritual universe… This powerful surge of ice energy directly awakened the still unconscious Mu Ningxue.
When she woke up, she looked at her surroundings, which were covered in thick layers of ice, like being inside a thousand-year-old ice mountain, and was momentarily stunned.
Tang Miao slowly opened his eyes, looked at the bewildered Mu Ningxue, and then said, "How are you feeling?"
Mu Ningxue subconsciously shook her head, paused, and then asked with some disappointment, "Is my body… really okay?"
Although she didn't know what had happened, seeing the thick layers of ice, she understood that Tang Miao had probably saved her again.
Tang Miao stood up and walked to her side, reaching out to pull Mu Ningxue up. Then he said, "Take out your Ice Crystal Bow."
Although Mu Ningxue was puzzled, she nodded and complied.
The moment she took out the Ice Crystal Bow, she noticed something was amiss?
Her bow… seemed to have been strengthened again! And her domain was also the same… "This…"
"It shouldn't hurt you anymore, but the prerequisite is that you don't use it anymore."
Tang Miao thought for a moment and then added, "Otherwise, with your current strength, every time you use it, your body will freeze. If I can't get to you in time when you can't bear it, you might be permanently frozen. So I advise you not to use it… Moreover, your Icebound has been infused with the power of my domain, making it invincible among those of the same tier."
Mu Ningxue naturally felt the changes in herself. Looking at Tang Miao, she didn't know what to say for a moment… Tang Miao waved his hand, dispelling the ice layers around them, and teased, "If you feel bad, just marry me."
"I'm sorry…"
Mu Ningxue was a little shy, then shook her head with some apology: "My future is not mine to decide… I will repay you in other ways."
Most importantly… gratitude is not love, and she was still clear about her own feelings.
Tang Miao shrugged, not minding it. He was in a great mood now! He had advanced to High-tier, his Ice Element had broken through to High-tier!
Just then, Mu Nujiao and Zhao Manyan from outside also walked in.
When such a powerful Ice Element force erupted inside just now, they had wanted to come in and see.
However, knowing that Tang Miao was helping Mu Ningxue heal, they didn't dare to disturb them. Of course, with just the two of them, they couldn't get in anyway… Now that the ice had dispersed, the two naturally arrived immediately.
Upon entering, Zhao Manyan looked at the two and asked, "Are you two okay?"
After all, the two of them had saved his life, so it was only right to show some concern.
"Fine."
"Very well."
Mu Ningxue and Tang Miao responded separately.
Mu Nujiao saw Tang Miao's excited expression and couldn't help but feel a little curious. However, she had no intention of prying.
"Since you've recovered, let's leave this godforsaken place!"
Zhao Manyan didn't want to stay here for another minute. After all, going back to school to flirt with some youthful and beautiful young ladies, wasn't that more appealing? Why keep living in the wilderness?
Tang Miao had originally wanted to train here for a while. After all, he now had the Demon Element, and his Ice Element had broken through to High-tier. Wasn't this the perfect time to farm monsters? Why go back?
However, if the three of them traveled alone in the wilderness, it would always be a bit unsettling.
After thinking about it, Tang Miao agreed: "Then let's pack up and go."
Mu Ningxue couldn't help but speak up at this point: "I want… to look for Mo Fan."
After all, he was a childhood playmate. Although she knew it was impossible for them to be together, she couldn't just leave when his life was uncertain and he was in danger. Even if it were just someone from her team, she wouldn't be able to give up on them like that.
When Mu Ningxue spoke, Zhao Manyan and Mu Nujiao fell silent. Neither of them had a deep friendship with Mo Fan. Asking them to risk going to a city teeming with Lizard Demon Overlords to find Mo Fan? They were completely against it internally… But if Mu Ningxue went alone, it felt like it would be a bad omen.
Seeing their silence, Mu Ningxue didn't mean to blame them, and then said, "You guys go first, I can protect myself."
