Chapter 506 The Final Seclusion of the Fifth-Order Ice Flame

The Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, Wang Yu's cave dwelling on Cold Blood Peak.

After the incident at the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest ended, Wang Yu quickly returned to his sect and officially began his seclusion.

at this time.

In the center of the frost-covered cave, a cold pool was constantly emanating white mist. This was a fourth-order cold pool that Wang Yu had personally prepared using pharmacological methods.

The Ice Flame Butterfly, the final product created with a great deal of time, effort, and a massive amount of top-grade spiritual herbs with yin and cold attributes, is undergoing its transformation.

The fourth-tier Ice Gu was lying on its side.

One by one, ice-blue butterflies, their wings imbued with icy flames, fluttered around the icy pool, where the Ice Flame Butterfly Queen re-cocooned in the icy waters.

He was quietly soaking in the pool, constantly absorbing the extreme cold power contained within it. During this process, Wang Yu also continuously released the primordial fire of the Ice Dragon Flame.

Let the Ice Flame Butterfly Queen adapt to this power that also belongs to fire.

He could even perform simple devouring and refining; this was a secret technique he learned from the spirit of the Myriad Treasures Artifact, where the two types of ice flames devoured each other's power.

This will reduce a lot of potential conflicts during the actual fusion process, and the fusion must be based on the Ice Dragon Flame.

The Gu worm technique is merely an auxiliary method, ultimately not Wang Yu's primary cultivation method. The Ice Dragon Flame, when integrated into his own body, can provide greater assistance and can also aid in cultivation techniques such as alchemy and weapon crafting.

The same applies to corpse refining and puppet making.

Lei Shi's growth rate is too slow, and the Yellow Spring Puppet has already reached its final form. Unless he specializes in puppetry techniques and secret arts, it will be difficult for him to improve further.

These two methods are of little use when facing late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators; Wang Yu can easily crush them with his own abilities alone. The same applies to Great Perfection cultivators.

When facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, the Thunder Corpse and the puppet are almost useless, and their value in being further cultivated is decreasing. Sooner or later, they will be exchanged for resources.

Top-tier items in the Ice Prison Realm are extremely rare.

Wang Yu felt it was unrealistic to raise a Thunder Corpse into a Thunder Hou, as he already had a fox to raise, and Xue Yu had been engrossed in cultivating the Human Desire Method in recent years.

It will not stop demanding until the bloodline rank is raised to the limit of the Heavenly Rank. Even if the Human Desire Technique is upgraded through the placement bar, its limit is still there.

Above the Heavenly Grade bloodline of the demon race are ancient remnants, also known as ferocious beast bloodlines. This level of bloodline is very close to the True Spirit grade.

Many of them are even offspring born from the hybridization of true spirits and ferocious beasts, hence the name "Ancient Remnants." There are only two known ferocious beast bloodlines in the Ice Prison Realm.

That is—the two demon lords, Azure Dragon and White Tiger!

Upon reaching adulthood, they attain the Nascent Soul stage and have a considerable chance of breaking through to the sixth-order Void Refinement stage. It is rumored that one of them is a descendant of the True Dragon bloodline and the other is a descendant of the White Tiger bloodline, but their bloodlines are not pure enough, otherwise they might possess the True Spirit bloodline.

Let's get back to the main topic.

As Wang Yu's gaze left Xue Yu, who was fast asleep in the corner of the cave, the cold pool suddenly began to boil without warning.

The time has come.

Wang Yu decisively took out the Nine-Turn Gu God Tear and threw it directly into the cocoon formed by the Ice Flame Butterfly Queen. A strange buzzing sound gradually rose up.

The blood-red light enveloped the cocoon, and its aura surged at an extremely rapid speed!

Mid-stage fourth tier... Late-stage fourth tier... Peak fourth tier!

The primordial power belonging to the ancient demon of Gu is like a windfall for Gu worms, enough to make them fat overnight, since the Ice Flame Butterfly is a swarm of Gu.

To some extent, the entire swarm of Gu can be regarded as an individual. After the Butterfly King reached its limit, the power of the Gu Demon immediately flowed out from the cocoon.

The strength of a large number of Ice Flame Butterflies began to surge.

Several months later, the first wave of transformation ended. After being evolved by top-tier treasures, the Ice Flame Butterflies' bloodlines all improved by a level, and their population strength reached the limit of the fourth tier.

Wang Yu used the fourth-tier magic weapon, the Ice Gu Gu, as the venue for his secret technique, throwing the swarms of Crimson Rust Insects, Heavenly Poison Scorpions, and Ghost Ants into it.

Even if the caster cannot use external force to help a specific Gu worm win during the Blood-Weeping Evil Gu Technique, the environment in which they fight each other can still be chosen.

The extremely cold environment and icy land inside the Ice Gu.

It was perfect for the Ice Flame Butterfly to unleash its power, especially since Wang Yu had also incorporated the Ice Dragon Flame into it, keeping the inside of the ice cup constantly ablaze with ice flames.

With so many advantages, if the Ice Flame Butterfly still cannot achieve final victory and advance to the fifth rank using the power of secret techniques, then Wang Yu will have no way to help her.

It can only be said that this was fate.

certainly.

This possibility is extremely slim. It would be very difficult for him to control the fifth-tier Ice Flame Butterfly swarm at will using his Gu techniques. Therefore, feeding it to the Ice Dragon Pill Flame to advance its tier is the best option.

The latter had long been integrated with him, a special spiritual flame cultivated since the Qi Refining stage. Their innate compatibility and close relationship determined that even if he successfully advanced, he would not resist Wang Yu's will.

The Ice Flame Butterfly Swarm was different. When Wang Yu subdued them, he had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. He only controlled them using the Gu Dao secret technique from the Five Poisons Scripture, and could only control Gu worms of the fourth rank at most.

As the battlefield opened, the four groups of Gu began to fight each other.

While carefully observing, Wang Yu focused his attention on comprehending the meaning of the Dharma. In fact, he has comprehended three kinds of Dharma meanings so far in his cultivation.

His Asura Dharma Intent was already perfected, and his Yellow Spring and Aurora Dharma Intents were all partially mastered. However, his main cultivation, the Path of Ice, lacked a dominant Dharma Intent to preside over it.

This is clearly abnormal.

With Wang Yu's comprehension and the advantage of his placement skills, he could easily comprehend the essence of the Extreme Cold Dharma. However, his ambition was even greater. He not only wanted the Extreme Cold Dharma, but also the essence of the Yin Dharma.

The understanding gained from the fusion of two different Dharma intentions is definitely more powerful than that gained from a single Dharma intention. Over time, one gets stuck at the crucial point, just one step away from achieving the goal.

For ordinary people, it is not necessarily better to understand more Dharma teachings.

But this is not the case for geniuses.

One of the core aspects of cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage is the comprehension of the power of intent. Cultivators observe the natural world and integrate their own spiritual intent with the external world.

Thus, one can comprehend a unique artistic conception.

This kind of will is enough to reverse life and death, turn the sun and moon upside down, and manipulate the universe!

Going a step further, one can grasp the rules and principles of the universe's operation and accomplish all sorts of incredible things. This path of enlightenment is a feasible one that progresses step by step.

It is also the path to immortality sought by all living beings.

According to the secret records of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, the strength of the Nascent Soul realm is closely related to the cultivator's understanding of the Dharma intent. Therefore, what Wang Yu wanted to do was to lay a solid foundation.

In the future, he will integrate the five kinds of Dharma intent to create his own divine realm.

In addition, the practice of following the laws of heaven and earth can also be put on the agenda.

As one of the extraordinary talents of this realm, Wang Yu could cultivate Dharma Aspects in advance to lay the foundation for the future, but he was indeed struggling with which type of Dharma Aspect to cultivate.

He didn't have many examples to refer to.

For now, we can only let the placement bar grasp and deduce, and he can then extract the parts he needs from it to comprehend the frost-type Dharma forms on his own.

But... there's a problem.

The magical abilities he possesses are all from the Yellow Springs Path and the Blood Path, lacking a core element with the attribute of coldness. In this regard, he can only start with the Ice Clan or the Zhenbei Tower.

Both of them are the leaders of the Frost Path in this world.

The best course of action is to find a way to seize a copy of the Frost Dharma Image and use it as the foundation for his own derivation. Wang Yu already has some initial ideas in this regard.

While in seclusion awaiting the results of his Gu refining, he would also refine pills for the sect to earn some high-level rare resources, and at the same time send messages to Changxi, the spy he had previously sent out.

Ask her to find a way to send over a file on the core disciples of Zhenbei Tower. As one of the seven righteous sects, it shouldn't be difficult to do this.

in addition.

Back then, the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect took over the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Soul Sect. After years of research, they basically obtained all the remaining inheritances.

With his ancestral authority, Wang Yu was naturally able to access this part of the secret technique inheritance, which mainly included the superior inheritance of the Soul-Snatching Evil Boat Curse.

I've got the Tier 4: God-Searching Evil Technique!

This method is inherited from the Soul-Slaying Evil Boat Curse. With the Evil Boat Curse at its perfect level as a foundation, it is not difficult to learn. Furthermore, by using the effect of the placement bar to deduce and upgrade the level, it can be upgraded to the fifth level.

This stage of deduction will take thirty years.

I should be able to fully master it before the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm opens, and then I will be able to use this super-powerful soul-searching technique once I truly enter the secret realm.

Bypassing those core restrictions placed in the mind, or complicated methods such as contracts, directly obtain the information you want.

It can be said that Wang Yu's next stage of goals all converge on the crucial trip to the Holy Lord's Heavenly Palace.

In addition to these preparations.

His cultivation of his physical body had not lagged behind, but the difficulty of breaking through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage was too high, and the amount of demonic energy required was almost a leapfrog increase.

Without the help of more Blood Infant Pills, it's basically impossible to break through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage within thirty years. This is slightly less than the best-case scenario he initially envisioned, but it's still acceptable.

Considering that we will be venturing deep into the endless ice plains at that time.

He could also make full use of the innate demonic fetus's talent, and he mobilized the disciples of Cold Blood Peak to hunt ice-attribute monsters in the ice plains.

He extracted marrow and drained blood to gather materials for his Myriad Transformations of the Heavenly Demon.

This ability is theoretically very powerful, capable of perfectly simulating the power of alien bloodlines, transforming into an alien body, and even altering the nature of its energy.

He's practically a chosen spy.

Previously, Wang Yu only had two transformation forms: Dragon Blood Fairy and Extreme Yin Dragon Body. The former could be ignored, but the latter was a very important means of improving physical strength.

It is applicable to the entire Nascent Soul stage, and if he could obtain a powerful ice-attribute demon bloodline, his home-field advantage in the Endless Ice Plains would be even stronger.

The advantage is accumulated little by little in these details, which is what Wang Yu often refers to as a well-prepared strategy.

In fact, Xueyu's bloodline is quite suitable.

However, it would be a waste to use a concubine who has been raised for so long in this way. Once her potential is fully released, there is a chance that she will advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

As for the ice-attribute bloodline that Wang Yu needs, reaching the fourth level is enough. It can be left to other Nascent Soul cultivators in the same sect to help hunt it.

in this way.

The final period of seclusion passed in the blink of an eye.

Thirty years later.

In June of the 143rd year of Wang Yu's life, a spiritually potent icy blue flame suddenly ignited in his cave, and countless insect corpses overflowed from the completely shattered ice vessel.

There were corpses of red rust insects, poisonous scorpions, ghost ants, and even more... the corpses of ice flame butterflies. After completing the Gu refining process, the butterfly swarm successfully won the final victory.

During his seclusion, Wang Yu successfully advanced to the fifth rank, and his accompanying ice flames also advanced. Subsequently, Wang Yu entered a long process of devouring and refining.

Even now, after the Ice Dragon Flame has completely devoured the Insect Fire and taken the lives of all the Ice Flame Butterflies, a wisp of scarlet color has appeared in the icy blue flames.

Symbolizing the bloody nature of this promotion, the original power has been partially altered.

The fifth-order Ice Dragon Flame is perhaps the second fifth-order spiritual flame in the Ice Prison Realm; the other is naturally the Heaven-Refining Demon Flame.

The advancement of this kind of peculiar flame is the same as that of magical treasures; it contains a nascent spirituality that can help Wang Yu control the power of the flame.

The flames burning fiercely in his palm were like a beating heart.

I could vaguely sense a feeling of pleasure.

The Ice Dragon Flame's spirituality is not yet as good as the Sun Piercing Demon Bow, but with continuous feeding of ice-attribute spiritual objects, it will naturally advance to the peak of the fifth rank.

This became another trump card for him.

With the aid of such ice flames, his combat power will be able to reach an even higher level during his upcoming journey to the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm.

Leaving aside other matters...

If he were to face demon kings such as the Five-Colored Holy Lord or the Heavenly Roc King, he would be absolutely confident of defeating them in a one-on-one fight, but in a two-on-one fight, he could only guarantee that he would have the upper hand.

One against three, four... then the outcome is unknown.

His only flaw lies in his amount of demonic energy. His supernatural abilities are far beyond the norm, and the consumption is also much greater than usual, which results in a lack of endurance.

Wang Yu can only compensate for this shortcoming with restorative pills for the time being.

Perhaps it can be changed in the future through secret methods or the inheritance of some kind of cultivation technique, but there is really no extra time to think of a solution now.

The opening time of the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm is approaching.

With all preparations completed, it was time for him to leave the gates of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect and head to the Northern Demon Clan to join their ranks and journey north to the Endless Ice Plains.

After he sorted out his belongings and deactivated the array and spiritual light of the cave,

A talisman folded into the shape of a paper crane flew into the cave.

Yan Ling's desolate and cold voice rang out.

"Brother Dao, Yan Ling has already reunited with Junior Sister Yu. By the time you receive this communication talisman, we will have already set off, as shown in the route map below..."

"The Heavenly Palace Secret Realm is the most important event for the demon race. Many powerful demons without the Holy Decree will set up ambushes in these locations. Please be cautious and do not trust the Northern Demon Clan too much."

The message conveyed was brief, and even contained a concerned warning.

Wang Yu naturally sensed that goodwill.

However, Yan Ling still underestimated him. The participants in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm were generally Nascent Soul experts, and the demon race only had three Divine Transformation Demon Lords in total.

The White Tiger Demon Lord is trapped in the Southern Broken Realm Mountains and cannot leave.

The same applies to the Poisonous Flood Dragon Demon Lord.

The Azure Dragon Demon Lord was seriously injured again and had been in seclusion to heal for many years, hiding in an unknown area of ​​the Northern Broken Realm Mountains. In other words, this was his trip to the secret realm.

He is the strongest one.

My approach to things and my attitude are naturally very different from before, which can be summed up in five words: I don't eat beef!

He already considers the opportunity to become a Nascent Soul in the Holy Lord's Heavenly Palace to be his for the taking, and he will show no mercy to anyone who competes with him for it.

In fact, he would love for as many competitors as possible.

We're short on the materials needed to refine the Blood Infant Pill!
