The chill continued to increase, and the nascent soul within the body suddenly opened its eyes, quickly raised its hands, and made a finger gesture towards the sky, producing an extremely cold icicle in its hands.
The nascent soul grasped it and stabbed it towards the barrier.
Pop!
The barrier cracked instantly, turning into countless fragments that vanished without a trace.
At the same time, a cold and powerful aura emanated from Xiang Wan.
Suddenly, all the surrounding ice thickened by an inch, then melted away, turning into streams of light that flew into Xiang Wan's body.
Having broken through the barrier of the Nascent Soul stage, Xiang Wan officially entered the Mahayana stage.
She felt her body brimming with power, and the chilling energy, combined with spiritual energy, surged into her body like a whirlwind.
Her sea of consciousness had doubled in size, and something seemed to be spinning in the middle. It was spinning too fast for her to see clearly.
At her dantian, the nascent soul seemed to have grown up; it was no longer an infant, but rather her current form, though somewhat different from her.
After observing carefully, she suddenly understood and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The nascent soul resembles her overall appearance, but its eyes are strikingly similar to those of Zi Yi!
Could this be considered a bond between her and him?
The nascent soul's movements became increasingly fluid, and it could absorb and circulate spiritual energy and cold air on its own without Xiang Wan's guidance.
The unknown substance on its surface still flowed on its skin, seemingly unchanged despite the changes in the nascent soul's body.
In no time, the cave that was once covered by ice was completely free of ice and snow.
Having firmly established her cultivation at the early stage of Mahayana, and feeling that further cultivation would not allow her to reach the next stage in a short time, Xiang Wan decisively stopped meditating and opened her eyes.
At this moment, the outside of the cave was no longer the same as when she first saw it.
Many snow-white eight-legged animals were fighting each other, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance as well as a fishy smell.
Several eight-legged monsters surrounded one of the creatures, inserting their mouthparts into its abdomen and sucking it dry. The creature being sucked struggled in vain, shrinking visibly until it lay limp and lifeless on the ground.
Xiang Wan crawled out of the stone cave and landed on her feet.
The eight-legged monsters all stopped moving and crawled towards the evening.
Xiang Wan clenched her fists, feeling her body brimming with power. Without waiting for them to come to her, she teleported to an eight-legged monster and grabbed its head.
Since the neck was too long, they covered the palms with ice to make ice blades.
With a swift motion, he swiftly severed the mandibles from the head, which felt somewhat uncomfortable in his hand.
Its mouthparts are covered with barbs, sharp and pointed.
Xiang Wan thought for a moment, then threw it into her storage bag and aimed at the other one.
The eight-legged monster smelled the scent of its companion's blood in the air and quickly became agitated. It raised its legs, lifted its belly, and pointed the tip of its tail at Xiang Wan.
This action is similar to a spider spinning silk.
Xiang Wan's eyes flashed, and as they spat something out of their tails, she flashed to another eight-legged monster and cut off its head.
Looking at the spot where she had just stood, it was now covered with a sticky, viscous liquid, emitting a strange, sultry fragrance that made one drowsy.
Xiang Wan pinched herself hard, held her breath, and aimed at the other eight-legged monster again.
Five were chopped down, and the remaining eight-legged monsters, seeing the situation was not good, all fled away.
Xiang Wan didn't give chase; she still wanted to use them to find a way out.
Pry open the belly of an eight-legged monster, and you'll find a bead the size of a grain of rice hidden underneath. You might miss it if you don't look carefully.
"Damn, such a big body, but such a small inner core, it's such a disservice to your appearance!"
After venting his frustrations, Xiang Wan carefully put away the inner core and continued searching for the next one.
There were five in total, and none of them had large inner cores; the largest one was only the size of a thumb.
Before leaving, Xiang Wan froze one of the smaller bodies, curled up, and threw it into her storage bag.
The journey out was exceptionally smooth.
The holes that the eight-legged monsters crawled out were big enough to get in and out at dusk.
However, the place she came out of made her frown slightly.
This is a secluded valley surrounded by mountains on all sides. The ground is barren, and you can vaguely see traces of animals crawling. However, the things underfoot are wet and sticky, making it slippery and slippery to walk on.
She crawled out from underground, her head and face covered in this stuff; it would be strange if she was in a good mood.
After using the cleansing spell, Xiang Wan decisively floated into the air and slowly drifted forward.
“Generally, places like this are very likely to be the lair of some kind of animal. If we can find some big ones, we won’t have to worry about the inner core.”
She never considered using inner cores to aid her cultivation; her intuition told her they weren't good things. However, the red ball and the little cloud dream beast were probably edible.
As her friend, she has a strong obligation to help her friends grow together with her.
After drifting in the valley for a while, Xiang Wan discovered a lush, green area halfway up the mountain.
The entire valley is basically devoid of grass, except for this one spot where grass grows. Isn't that strange?
Xiang Wan slowly approached, and then saw a rustling in the grass as an eight-legged monster crawled out. Upon seeing Xiang Wan, it turned its rear end towards her without saying a word.
"Damn it, so what if your butt looks good?" Xiang Wan pointed and blocked the eight holes at its tail.
The eight-legged monster was shocked and stretched out its head to try to knock the ice off, but the barbs on its mouthparts were too sharp. It turned its head and stretched out, and when it tried to pull back, the barbs got stuck in the bristles on its tail.
Its abdomen was hard, and its bristles were hard too. Its head was twisted, gripping the mandibles, but it couldn't muster any strength. With a forceful pull, it lost its balance and tumbled down the mountainside, landing in a thick, sticky liquid. After a few thrashings, its entire body was covered in a thick layer of mucus.
