Chapter 344: The Glory of Man
In the Ice and Snow Temple, in the Three Lights Ice Pond.
The disciples of the Holy Palace were covered in dark blue gauze, naked, and curled up like babies in the mother's womb, floating in the transparent water. Outside their bodies, countless blue light spots were rotating to form whirlpools.
These women all had their eyes tightly closed and their brows slightly furrowed. The horrifying coldness caused every strand of their hair to freeze into azure ice.
Bai Donglin swept his eyes over them one by one without slowing down, and quickly passed these true disciples. Their cultivation could only stop here, and it was still too early for him. Only by getting closer to the spring could he gain greater benefits.
Completion of the trial mission is a foregone conclusion, he just needs to persevere for seven days. Now all his attention is on this magical Three Lights Ice Soul Divine Water.
After a moment, Bai Donglin no longer knew how far he had swam, but this divine pool shrouded in dark blue mist seemed to have no end.
Bai Donglin raised his eyebrows, feeling that the horrifying chill that had invaded his body had changed again. As it swam over, the chill was permeating throughout his body, trying to freeze every spiritual orifice and every particle of his flesh and blood.
After going deeper into this area of water, the chill had begun to spread into his soul. Bai Donglin could clearly sense that the functioning of his thoughts and consciousness was a little more sluggish than before.
"First, the body's spiritual orifices are frozen, then the soul and mind are frozen, so what's next?"
There was a thoughtful look in Bai Donglin's eyes, but his speed did not slow down at all. He wanted to go deeper.
"Could it be...will?!"
A flash of inspiration came to Bai Donglin's mind. He pondered for a moment and became more and more certain of his guess.
"Three Lights Ice Soul Divine Water, the so-called Three Lights, turns out to be this!"
The monks in this world all agree that the human body is a huge treasure, and its core is that it possesses three brilliant rays of light.
The spiritual orifice of the physical body - the light of life.
Spirit, soul and intention - the light of the soul, also called the light of wisdom.
And finally, only the powerful ones above the Great Power will generally awaken and open the Light of Will! "First, I was tempered by the fire-attributed Samadhi True Fire in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and then I was tempered by the water-attributed Three Lights Bingpo Divine Water. The True Fire Divine Water is now complete for me. Tsk tsk, this Extreme Council is really interesting..."
A smile flashed in Bai Donglin's eyes. He understood the meaning of the Three Lights Ice Soul Divine Water. He no longer had any worries and sped up a bit.
In terms of cultivation of the Way of Will, even compared with those powerful men, he did not expect himself to fall behind! His thoughts surged, and he could not help but think of the conversation he had with Old Man Jiang a few years ago.
——
Bai Donglin's cultivation of the Way of Will was progressing by leaps and bounds, which even surprised Senior Jiang, who he considered extremely unfathomable. So one day when the two were chatting, Bai Donglin couldn't help but ask, "Senior Jiang, is the Way of Will difficult? You seem surprised at my speed of progress?"
Upon hearing this, Old Man Jiang's expression froze. He looked at him with strange eyes for a moment before he slowly said, "Difficult, of course it's difficult. I thought that you could break through the first level so quickly on your own, and you had already exhausted your resources and reached your limit, but I didn't expect..."
Shaking his head gently, Old Man Jiang stared at Bai Donglin as if he were a monster.
"The Way of Will is a power that a cultivator can comprehend only when he breaks through the ninth realm. This power of will is when a cultivator survives the thunder tribulation and undergoes a transformation in his life level. Only when he comprehends the eternal truth of the cycle of life and death can he successfully ignite his will and illuminate the light of will."
"As for you, kid, you have ignited the fire of will by yourself, but the speed of your progress is really weird..."
Bai Donglin frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Since the path of will is so difficult, why would the Jidao Council set this task for me? You know, I am only in the realm of supernatural power! I am still two major realms away from the ninth realm of gods and demons!"
"How do they know that I can ignite the fire of will? This is putting me in a difficult position!"
Old Man Jiang couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said unhappily: "You are taking advantage of me, kid. It's also because you are the first disciple in nearly 30 million years to start the Extreme Trial when the era is about to begin. It is of great significance, so I let you get such a big benefit!"
"This may seem like a test, but it is actually a reward for you. Why do you think your Jidao Saint Sect would let you fish for dragon fish? And why did they take so much trouble to let me guide you?"
“Although you are at the level of supernatural powers, I am confident that I can ignite the fire of your will with my personal help!”
Bai Donglin's eyes moved. He didn't expect there was such a reason. He became more and more curious and couldn't help asking again: "So, Senior Jiang, what method did you plan to use to help me ignite the fire of will?"
Old man Jiang did not answer immediately. Instead, he slowly stretched out his withered palm and reached into the void. A bright, dreamy light band appeared on his palm.
The atmosphere is faint and mysterious.
Bai Donglin tried his best to sense what was going on, but couldn't figure it out.
"Look."
While Old Man Jiang was speaking, he stretched out two fingers, picked up one end of the light strip, connected the ends together, and formed a closed halo.
"If I want you to ignite the fire of will, it's very simple. Just like this, I'll cut off a section of your timeline and let you experience death over and over again in this closed time loop. Naturally, you will be able to grasp the true meaning of eternity and ignite your will!"
"If 100 million times doesn't work, then 1 trillion times, 1 trillion times. As long as I die enough times, hehe, even if I'm just a pig, I can successfully ignite the fire of will..."
Bai Donglin's expression froze. Looking at the smiling old man Jiang, he couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.
After figuring out the cause and effect, Bai Donglin also understood why he was able to practice the Way of Will so smoothly. This was all thanks to his "immortality" talent.
In the closed-loop timeline, although death is real, how can one retain previous experiences and insights after the refresh? If consciousness is superimposed, how can one prevent oneself from collapsing? Although Old Man Jiang did not say it explicitly, it must be difficult to do this.
Although this method is a shortcut, it also has its drawbacks, and the effect is far inferior to his immortality.
"The way of will is so difficult!"

Bai Donglin sighed in his heart, and his emphasis on willpower suddenly increased infinitely. He was also glad that he did not have to go through the horrific torture of old man Jiang.
——
His thoughts turned back to his previous state, and Bai Donglin dived a long distance further. His speed gradually slowed down, and thick blue frost condensed on his body surface. The scene inside his body became even more terrifying.
Every spiritual orifice and flesh particle was wrapped in a dark blue light, and its movement was stagnant and slow. The soul sitting on the black stone tablet in the sea of gods had turned into a blue ice sculpture! "I, I, feel it!"
His consciousness was frozen, and Bai Donglin's thinking became intermittent.
"But, freeze, the strange chill of will!"
With a thought, the spiritual orifice of the law of fire flickered slightly, and a thick and rich purple-red flame emerged in the body, bringing a hint of warmth, but the effect was minimal. The chillness of the Three Lights Ice Soul Divine Water and the coldness in the ordinary sense were two completely different things.
Even though he used all his strength to activate the spiritual orifices of the laws of fire, light, and yang, it only made his thoughts flow a little more smoothly.
"No, I am not doing it anymore. Although I have confidence in my will, the chill from this depth targeting my body and soul is becoming more and more terrifying. My body and soul are far inferior to those of a powerful person."
"The fact that I can walk here now is entirely due to my powerful spirit and deep physical foundation. If I were an ordinary Divine Source Realm Great Perfection Body Cultivator, I'm afraid I would be frozen into powder in an instant here!"
Bai Donglin's eyes flashed slightly as he sensed the extremely bright blue light spots in the water. The strange energy here was thousands of times stronger than that outside.
"Just practice here. This intensity of strange energy is enough to satisfy me."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Donglin stopped flying, sat cross-legged on the spot, and floated in the transparent water, with a calm mind and a unity of heart, spirit and will.
In just an instant, countless light spots gathered to form a huge vortex, enveloping Bai Donglin. The energy from the bright light spots poured into his body frantically and was devoured by his spirit, flesh, blood, and soul.
The fair little face beneath the dark blue ice crystals couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
In the sea of souls, the souls that turned into ice sculptures had five hearts facing the sky, their hands were pinching mysterious spells, and their expressions were solemn.
Under the ice crystals, the golden-red pointed monument tightly wrapped by a strand of hair, for some reason, automatically emitted a hint of red light.
With a slight tremor, the light disappeared.
