Chapter 383 Ancient Demon - [Frozen]!
On the other end.
Completely unaware that he had been discovered, Wang Yu was still pondering where to begin, as the area was not only vast but also extremely desolate.
In the past, people could simply dig a hole underground and use it as a temporary dwelling.
Now, it's difficult to even find a cliff or precipitous rock.
As the concentration of the surrounding frozen demonic energy increased, it was as if he had passed through an invisible membrane; all the wind and snow stopped, and a towering cliff appeared in his sight.
The extreme cold emanating from the black peak made him shiver involuntarily, indicating that it was formed from some kind of mysterious ice and was almost perpendicular to the ground.
It stands between heaven and earth like a stone pillar.
It pierced straight into the dark clouds.
It's quite a sight.
What's suspicious is that such an important place wasn't guarded?
That means this place must be incredibly dangerous.
Secondly... he's been discovered!
certainly.
To insist that there were no guards would be the act of a foolish thief, a possibility that is extremely low. He is more inclined to believe that he was discovered, because he had concealed a wisp of frozen demonic energy when he detoured around the Ice Clan's settlement.
Normally, this fluctuation is insignificant.
However, assuming the opponent is incredibly powerful and knows the surrounding area inside and out, it is indeed possible that they could be discovered.
This is a faint fluctuation that is almost like the spiritual energy of the surrounding world.
Logically speaking, it's impossible to detect.
While pondering.
Wang Yu's actions became bolder, just as he had initially guessed. This Ice Clan had no intention of fighting against the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, so the obstacles they set up were mainly to buy time.
Elder Yushu was almost completely bewildered.
Regardless of what secrets the other party is hiding, it is safer for him not to investigate. By maintaining this tacit understanding, the other party also withdrew the guards of the sealed land.
Wang Yu knew perfectly well that it was mostly related to the mixed-race people he had discovered. To put it seriously, this was persecution of the human race and an attempt to seize living space.
To put it simply, it's not that bad.
The gatekeeper tribe, with its heritage and history, has weakened to the point of having only tens of thousands of people, while the "wild" ice tribes outside are even more destitute.
Nobody would consider them a match; they're too weak!
Only Coldblood Peak, whose affairs involve the Frozen Demon Seal, might intervene and pay attention; the other dominant sects of the demonic path would never take it seriously.
But the Ice Clan's goal is certainly not just about gaining freedom.
Let's leave this matter aside for now; just keep it in mind.
He doesn't have the ability to shout and yell here.
Wang Yu dutifully took out three empty top-grade spirit stones and actively activated his cultivation technique, attracting a large amount of spiritual energy from the surrounding world.
In this way...
The frozen demonic energy mixed in will also gather, and since the cultivator's cultivation level is not high enough to absorb it, it will be absorbed by the top-grade spirit stone and transformed into frozen demonic spirit stone.
With this thing, he could easily find another place to condense his nascent soul.
This place is really not safe.
If he didn't want to waste spirit stones, a fourth-order spirit vein was also one of the necessary conditions for breakthrough. Fengzhou Prefecture City was originally his backup location, but since Black Heaven Talisman Lord had come, it was no longer suitable.
The first location was the settlement of the Ice Tribe.
after all.
Before coming here, he thought that all the past mountain lords and Nascent Soul True Monarchs of Cold Blood Peak had broken through here, which proved that there was no problem. He never expected that he would encounter a problem here.
Even the backup city of Fengzhou was occupied.
I'm really annoyed.
He couldn't help but recall the ominous rumors about feng shui masters who manipulated the heavens and earth, could they really damage one's fortune? He had only made a big move to deal with the Dragon Blood Demon Tree.
As a result, these two things happened one after the other.
Going back further, Taki's death was also due to forcibly triggering two extraordinary events in the heavens and earth, dying in the aftermath of the poisonous beast army, which shocked his soul.
The concept of destiny is vague and unfounded.
He also had his lucky moments, when he could shake off all the messy thoughts in his mind and his cultivation technique would run more smoothly. Before he knew it, it was March again.
at the same time.
The Ice Clan's settlement, inside the tower.
The high priest sat cross-legged in mid-air, with icy blue light spots constantly surging from his body and flowing into the pregnant woman's belly on the altar. He looked increasingly tired and weak.
Bingrui and Bingheng exchanged a glance.
The former was the one who advocated killing Wang Yu; he was the weakest in cultivation, only at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.
He was now wearily swinging his waist, gulping down a special medicinal soup, and grumbling incessantly.
"The fertility potion of the Hehuan Demonic Path is truly disgusting. I almost threw up after drinking it. And the number of viable offspring is far too small. Is it because these mothers are not of good aptitude?"
Bingheng looked at the High Priest with worry in his eyes.
Instead of answering Bingrui's complaint, he said...
"The High Priest has lost too much of his essence for this child. If this continues, even the Ice Clan's long lifespan will be exhausted prematurely."
Perhaps due to the favor of the Ice Prison Realm, or the fact that ice blocks can transform into spirits, the lifespan of Ice Clan cultivators is on average twice that of human cultivators. This is somewhat related to the fact that it is difficult for them to produce new members of their clan.
A race with a long average lifespan often has a very poor reproductive capacity.
They were regarded as a special race of spirits and monsters.
Both are very reasonable.
"Child of Hope carries too many expectations of his people."
Upon hearing this, Bingrui's complaints vanished.
After gulping down two mouthfuls of the fertility potion, he suddenly looked in the direction of the seal. His already pent-up negative emotions were further amplified by the sight of Wang Yu recklessly collecting the frozen demonic energy.
He was instantly enraged.
"It's all the fault of these damned humans. No... I have to kill this brat to vent my anger."
Bingheng raised an eyebrow and immediately stopped the person.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to cause more trouble at a time like this? If you really attract the powerful cultivators of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, how will you explain yourself to your clan?!"
These words were spoken.
Bingrui slumped down, as if his spine had been removed, his eyes slightly dazed, and he said softly.
"Brother Heng, is our resistance even worthwhile?"
"--have!"
The response he received was not from Bing Heng, but from an aged yet powerful and resolute voice.
Before anyone knew it, the high priest had already stood up.
“Rui, if you want to break the shackles that Heaven and Earth have placed on the Ice Clan, there is no other way but to integrate into the bloodline of the human race. This restriction is not imposed by the powerful human race... but is a gift and confinement of the world itself.”
For a moment, the two of them stared blankly at the wind and snow outside.
The Ice Prison Realm nurtured them, but it also doesn't want them to leave.
At this moment.
A servant came to report.
"My lord, cultivators from Cold Blood Peak have come to visit."
The three were startled. The high priest took a step forward, his divine sense sweeping out rapidly. He only relaxed a little after discovering Yu Shu standing at the gate of the clan's territory.
"Another peak Core Formation cultivator, he's probably here to form a Nascent Soul. Bingheng, go and receive him, and don't let him get close to this tower."
"Understood, High Priest!"
After instructing the skilled and steady high priest to complete the task, he turned to see the expectant Bing Rui, and his lips twitched.
"You may continue, but you are not allowed to leave the tower without my permission."
Bingrui: "..."
…………
…………
Wang Yu had no way of knowing what was happening inside the Ice Clan's settlement, as he was indulging in the pleasure of absorbing spiritual energy.
This place also possesses a large spiritual vein.
The freezing weather made him feel exceptionally comfortable. He had never absorbed spiritual energy and cold for such a long time before. The coolness permeated his body, and he felt completely relaxed.
The quality of the magic power has subtly improved.
The side effects of refining the Human Pill have been completely resolved.
I woke up at that moment.
This was because the three empty top-grade spirit stones had been completely filled and transformed into a black-blue prismatic crystal under his deliberate infusion and guidance.
This is the freezing demonic energy he needs to condense his nascent soul.
"Preparations are complete, but the location for Nascent Soul Formation still needs careful consideration."
Anyway, they won't break through in front of the Ice Clan.
A more conservative approach would be to randomly find a large city and rent a fourth-tier cave dwelling. An even more aggressive approach would be to consider returning to one's sect to break through to the next level.
But he would never choose the latter.
The Reverse Spirit Blood Sect doesn't feel safe at all, especially since Nine Evil Sword Lord has broken through to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage. Great cultivators and ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators are completely different levels.
In the Red Clan, you can use the assurances of powerful figures as a show of force, but you should never believe them completely.
Therefore, whether it is Lei Hou Jun or Xueyan Mo Jiao.
Unless he stands by his side every step of the way, it's hard to guarantee that the Nine Evil Sword Lord won't go crazy. Since it involves the innate demonic fetus, Wang Yu prefers a more conservative approach.
After carefully storing the three Frozen Demon Stones, he was about to leave.
Suddenly, a heavenly sound rang in my ears.
As if preaching, the voice instantly captivated Wang Yu. Supreme scriptures and divine powers—as long as he was willing to listen, the voice would continue to speak.
This is the kind of temptation that strikes at the heart of one's deepest desires.
It was like a demonic sound entering his ears, constantly distorting the scene before Wang Yu's eyes.
Fortunately.
He had already reached the second level of mental cultivation in the Path of the Mind, the "Emptiness of Self." After noticing the confusion in his consciousness, his mental power took the initiative to exert its effect.
A murderous intent stirred within Wang Yu, causing him to quickly regain his composure.
The turbulent waves in my heart quickly subsided.
Upon opening his eyes, Wang Yu realized that he had already walked to the front of the black ice cliff, and his hand was trying to touch the seal of the ice mountain before he belatedly withdrew it.
"What a strange, demonic power..."
After retreating quickly, Wang Yu couldn't help but look back.
That one glance was enough to make my body stiffen instantly.
His silhouette was now imprinted on the originally pitch-black ice, his mouth stretched into an exaggerated grin as he waved at him.
This action caused Wang Yu to turn and run away.
He had long suspected that the existence of the Ancient Demon was far stronger than that of a Nascent Soul Venerable. At first, he thought it was a mad demon who had reached the pinnacle of the demonic path.
Thinking about it now, that's not entirely true.
Once you reach a certain level of strength, the difference between the righteous and demonic paths isn't actually that significant; both are simply striving for improvement.
He couldn't make a judgment on the specifics without sufficient information, but he was certain that the Ancient Demon was also a top-tier existence outside the Ice Prison Realm.
Otherwise, there's no need to lock them all up.
Given its indestructible nature, could it be that even immortals cannot kill it?
That's something he'll have to figure out for himself in the future.
Startled by this sudden action, Wang Yu reacted instinctively and immediately activated his escape light, deliberately avoiding the Ice Clan's settlement and flying away into the distance.
From beginning to end, except for this sudden anomaly.
Everything went relatively smoothly.
Two weeks later.
In the outer area of the endless ice plains, sunlight was already shining down, and the wind and snow had subsided considerably. According to the plan, he should have condensed his Nascent Soul within the ice plains.
There was a slight mishap.
Now, even the backup location, Fengzhou Prefecture City, is unusable.
So they chose a large city nearby. Fengzhou was remote and desolate, and there were only a few large cities. Although it was said to be nearby, it was actually quite far away.
Our first trip to the Endless Ice Plains has come to a temporary end.
Wang Yu did not stop and continued south.
He also inquired about the turbulent situation outside, and the situation was not much different from when he entered, since he hadn't been inside for very long.
However, there is a widely circulated message.
It was absolutely explosive.
In other words, the seven righteous sects, using territorial expansion as a pretext, have officially declared war on the Red Kite. War artifacts have been mobilized from various places and are converging on the North-South Broken Mountain Range.
Such a commotion couldn't possibly have escaped the notice of the spies.
therefore.
As he traveled south, he saw nothing but exhilarated demonic cultivators and terrified mortals, as well as a large number of families migrating elsewhere. It was at this time that the advantages of the city system became apparent.
The gate was closed, and the formation was activated.
Everything is decided by the person at the very top, who sets goals, plans battle zones, and determines what types of resources to compete for, etc.
The conflict between the two regions cannot be resolved by simply scrambling to start a fight.
The preparation phase alone takes a lot of time. The most noticeable thing in the North-South Boundary Mountains recently is the groups of scouts and teams that go to set traps.
With war imminent, they continued to reinforce this natural defensive line, fearing it wouldn't be powerful enough or harm enough people.
Many more people detoured through various checkpoints.
Setting up formations, drawing talismans... even setting up magic arrays to secretly collect living souls and essence blood, this competition is purely about who has the better skills. There may be dozens of people vying for a single pre-arranged battlefield.
During this period, the Crimson Phoenix Demon Cultivator unleashed an unprecedented passion, like a gambling addict who would risk everything for a living, believing that as long as he could survive, he would break through his original social class.
They viewed war as an opportunity.
As for danger... isn't normal cultivation dangerous? Murder and robbery, soul refining and pill making are just as dangerous as during wartime.
It's just a disguise.
What Wang Yu saw and heard along the way was somewhat unexpected. The only thing he feared was the mortals. In the past, he might have had some pity for them, but now he was too busy taking care of himself.
Ten days later.
Meiling City, one of the major cities in Qiongzhou at night!
Two fourth-order spiritual veins pass through this city, which has a large number of cultivators. In addition, it is the largest city in Yeqiong Prefecture that is closest to the Northern Broken Mountain Range, so many outsiders have recently flocked here to seek refuge.
This city was originally one of the main cities that resisted the monster tide, but it is now useless after the monsters were defeated.
However, due to the underground spiritual veins, it is quite prosperous, and Meiling City belongs to the Yougu Feng Clan. Wang Yu and the Feng Clan have quite a history.
The City Lord's Office.
"Renting a cave dwelling".
"What rank?"
"Fourth tier".
"A fourth-tier... Nascent Soul cave?"
The clerk quickly straightened his clothes, looked at Wang Yu's obviously youthful appearance, and then rolled his eyes.
"Little Taoist boy, is this for your parents?"
"I guess so."
Wang Yu responded with a smile. He had already decided to stay in Meiling City to condense his Nascent Soul, so there would naturally be no problem with the procedure. Once he passed the tribulation, there would be even fewer problems.
"The rental price has doubled recently. Give this jade slip to your master and say it was given to you by the Yougu Feng clan."
"No problem."
After exchanging spirit stones at another location and obtaining the cave dwelling token,
Wang Yu rearranged the formation and flags before officially entering seclusion. The information on the jade slip was nothing more than recruitment rhetoric, which was of little significance.
