Chapter 1 This Pool is Extraordinary

“This pool is no simple matter. Not only is it icy cold, but the water is incredibly light, almost like air. My 60 points of ice resistance aren't low, yet it still froze my hand like this.” Shi Feng looked at his hand, now encased in ice, and was secretly shocked. “Just what kind of water is this?”

In God's Domain, 60 points of ice resistance are enough to cope with most icy environments, and players are unaffected.

But now, even a small pool of water is proving insurmountable, which shows how extraordinary this little pool is.

To say this little pool isn't strange, Shi Feng wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death.

Immediately, Shi Feng took out Doron's Key from his backpack, wanting to see if it would trigger any reaction.

But Shi Feng walked around the pool with Doron's Key and there was no reaction. He couldn't find any place to insert the key either.

“Could it be inside the pool?” Shi Feng thought about it and felt it was very likely.

According to the statistics of the previous life in God's Domain, most adventures and treasures are stored in forbidden areas. Only a very few places without danger can yield adventures or treasures, but these places require sufficient status or luck.

These so-called forbidden areas are the player's no-go zones. Unless there is a way to deal with them, entering means certain death.

The small pool in front of him is obviously one such forbidden area, making it impossible for players to enter. Going down would mean freezing to death.

Shi Feng has 60 points of ice resistance, otherwise, contact with the pool water would cause a large amount of frost damage, leading to immediate death. Even so, Shi Feng's hand was still frozen, and it took more than ten seconds to thaw.

If Shi Feng jumped into the water, his whole body would be frozen. Although he wouldn't take any damage, the water in this pool is very light. After a player is frozen into an ice sculpture, they would definitely sink all the way down, never floating, and would eventually drown alive…

"What's the best thing to do now?" Shi Feng looked at the icy pool and pondered quietly, "If only I could increase my magic resistance a little more."

It is already difficult for players to increase their magic resistance. At this stage, players are unlikely to have magic resistance equipment. Even if they do, the effect would not be great. Shi Feng relies entirely on the Ice-Blue Devil Flame and the Golden Holy Scar to have 60 points of ice resistance. A master player would be doing well to have 10 points.

Of course, the fastest way to increase magic resistance is to drink magic resistance potions. Even a beginner magic resistance potion can increase magic resistance by a lot. If he drinks an intermediate magic resistance potion, plus his own magic resistance, he might be able to cope with this icy pool.

But Shi Feng currently doesn't have any magic resistance potions on him.

The recipes for beginner magic resistance potions are dropped in maps above level 20, and the recipes for intermediate magic resistance potions are dropped in maps above level 40.

It is impossible for Shi Feng to get them, let alone a special ice resistance potion.

But if he doesn't enter the pool, where will he get the remaining 30% completion?

But entering the pool will freeze him into an ice sculpture, unable to move. And he doesn't have any ice resistance potions. He really has no solution.

"The freezing restriction effect is too troublesome. I wonder if the magic damage immunity of the Illusion Realm will work." Shi Feng touched the pool water again and tried the Illusion Realm skill of the Ring of Illusion.

After the Illusion Realm was activated, the freezing effect on Shi Feng's hand was not removed.

"The Ring of Illusion doesn't work, what about the Ring of Emptiness?"

Unwilling to give up, Shi Feng waited another minute and switched to the Ring of Emptiness before putting his hand in the pool again.

This time, the hand that Shi Feng put into the pool miraculously didn't freeze into an ice sculpture. It was just bone-chillingly cold, making it unbearable.

"As expected, there is always a way out. Now there is a solution." Shi Feng was immediately overjoyed.

As long as the effect of being unable to move in the pool is resolved, everything else will be easy. It's just a little cold. Shi Feng believes he can endure this kind of pain.

So he used Phantom Kill, leaving a doppelganger by the pool to wait, maintaining the time for 40 seconds. If something happened to him, he could immediately switch places with the doppelganger, which could be considered insurance.

Immediately, Shi Feng jumped into the pool.

With a splash, the pool water splashed half a meter high. Shi Feng dived in, and because the water inside was very light, Shi Feng didn't need much force to sink quickly. The deeper he went, the weaker the light became, turning into a vast darkness, as if falling into a bottomless pit.

As soon as Shi Feng entered the pool, it felt like he had instantly arrived in the Arctic, and he wasn't wearing much clothing either. Just moving his body slightly in the water caused a stinging pain as if he had been cut by a knife. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have let out a piercing scream, but Shi Feng gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

However, as the depth of the dive increased, the bone-chilling cold became stronger and stronger. Even someone with Shi Feng's strong will had a pale face and bloodshot eyes, and couldn't even scream. One can imagine how painful it was.

"Why haven't I reached the bottom yet?" Shi Feng looked at the time. He had been diving for nearly 10 seconds. Even with his will, although the player's health would not be damaged, his mental strength was being consumed greatly.

He had miscalculated before. He didn't expect it to be so cold underwater.

Let alone supporting himself for 40 seconds, just supporting himself for 10 seconds was almost his limit.

Looking around at the darkness, unable to see the situation below, Shi Feng struggled to activate Ice-Blue Devil Flame mode. Even in the water, the Ice-Blue Devil Flame was burning fiercely, enveloping Shi Feng's whole body, causing the surrounding pool water temperature to rise rapidly and illuminating the surroundings.

The effect of the Ice-Blue Devil Flame made Shi Feng breathe a sigh of relief. The rising temperature made him feel much better, and the coldness was barely within his tolerable range.

With the light, Shi Feng looked around and suddenly found that the pool was much larger than he had imagined. Before, because it was dark, he couldn't see anything. Now, with the Ice-Blue Devil Flame illuminating the way, Shi Feng could see very clearly.

This wasn't a pool at all. What was beneath his feet was a courtyard!

And where he was about to land was on the plaza in the courtyard.

So Shi Feng accelerated and swam over.

This courtyard looked very old, and the architectural style was completely different from the current God's Domain. If it weren't for the icy cold pool water, this would simply be a mythological paradise, beautiful and fascinating.

Although this place was very beautiful, Shi Feng had an extremely dangerous feeling, a danger that was definitely the strongest Shi Feng had felt since playing God's Domain.

System: Player has discovered the Eternal Courtyard.

"It should be there." In the courtyard, Shi Feng saw a spiral building with its doors tightly closed and quickly swam over.

Such a beautiful and fantastic place, even the Star Tower paled in comparison. If it weren't for the great sense of crisis, Shi Feng would really like to stay a little longer.

The closed door was made of gold, and there were many pictures engraved on it, which seemed to be related to the destruction of ancient gods. Shi Feng even saw the Dawn Goddess, one of the ancient gods...

This golden gate was protected by some kind of power, and it was impossible to destroy it by external force. Shi Feng didn't have the mind to study the carved patterns on the gate at this time. He found a keyhole in the sun pattern on the door, took out Doron's Key, inserted it, and gently twisted it.
