He felt a little regretful.
He understood the importance of the Cold Pool. With the help of the Cold Crystal Water, his cultivation speed would increase dramatically, and it would not be impossible for him to reach the Divine Palace or even become an Emperor in the future.
Unfortunately, all of this was destined to vanish in an instant.
This made him feel regretful.
"No matter what, it's all been worth it." Elder Hanyuan smiled and said, "Over the years, you have made great contributions to the clan, and the clan leader appreciates you very much. As long as you can break through, your status will rise accordingly."
Jiang Wang nodded and said, "As long as the ancestor does not despise my dullness, I will work hard and do my best to dedicate everything to the clan and seek benefits for the clan."
"Alright, go into seclusion!" Elder Hanya said.
"Okay." Jiang Wang nodded.
He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged by the icy pool, and began to condense patterns of the profound meaning of ice.
"Freeze!" A deep voice rang out.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a huge ice-blue rune flew out from his body and hovered in the void.
Buzz!
This is the trembling of the cold crystal water.
The runes emitted a brilliant blue light, enveloping Jiang Wang in a hazy glow, making him appear exceptionally sacred.
At the same time, a sharp wave swept across all directions.
Ordinary cultivators who dare to touch the Frosty Crystal Water will surely die.
"Condense!" Jiang Wang once again guided the cold energy of the icy crystal water.
Instantly, ripples appeared on the surface of the icy water, with tiny lines emerging, like ravines or fish, flowing across its surface.
This pattern, like the inscription on ice, shimmers with a crystal-clear luster. Its shape resembles a fish, seemingly able to swim in the void.
"What a powerful profound technique!" Upon seeing this, Xiao Yun was extremely shocked.
"Frost Crystal Water truly lives up to its reputation as the most difficult cold-attribute medicinal treasure to condense in the world!" He took a deep breath.
"Once I condense the profound meaning of ice, I will have entered the perfect state of body tempering." Jiang Wang clenched his fist, his face full of excitement.
After Elder Hanya left, he couldn't wait to come to the cold pool.
Because this is the only opportunity that could allow him to break through.
"Let's transform my bloodline into the Xuanwu bloodline first!" he thought to himself.
Then, he took a deep breath, sat cross-legged beside the cold pool, stretched out his legs, and entered the cold pool.
Whew!
Inside the icy pool, the cold air churned and seeped into Jiang Wang's body, causing his skin to freeze.
"This cold pool is too cold. With my current physical strength, I'm afraid I can't withstand it!" Jiang Wang frowned slightly.
He has already tried to condense the Xuanwu bloodline pattern, but the process is very painful.
Because every time a Xuanwu bloodline pattern is condensed, the blood is as if it has been cut into a thousand pieces.
This pain was beyond what ordinary people could imagine; even someone like Jiang Wang couldn't help but grimace.
However, he persevered.
He knew that whether he could condense the Xuanwu bloodline pattern depended entirely on this moment.
"I, Jiang Wang, will definitely be able to condense the Xuanwu bloodline pattern!" Jiang Wang gritted his teeth and continued to condense the profound meaning.
In this world, the purer the bloodline, the stronger the combat power.
Therefore, the condensed bloodline patterns will become even more powerful.
Rumble!
As time went on, Jiang Wang condensed bloodline patterns at an increasingly faster pace.
Gradually, the muscles on his back bulged as if they were about to burst.
Within this icy pool, the aura of blood surged to the heavens.
"What's going on?" Outside the cold pool, the Jiang clan members all wore expressions of astonishment.
"What is Jiang Wang doing?" everyone asked suspiciously.
"Perhaps he is trying to comprehend some kind of supernatural power!" some elders said.
...
Time slipped by unnoticed, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
At this moment, the cold air around Jiang Wang's icy pools had thinned considerably, and the pools had calmed down.
"Am I going to succeed?" Jiang Wang opened his eyes and murmured to himself.
Then, he turned his gaze forward.
There, the water in the cold pool gradually dissipated, revealing a stone platform about ten feet in size.
There, prominently displayed, was a white jade coffin and an ancient book made of animal hide.
An ancient book made of animal hide sealed away a secret treasure, leaving it covered in dust.
"Is this the skeleton of that ancient corpse?" Jiang Wang's eyes flashed, and he felt a surge of excitement.
"Rumor has it that the ancient corpse is not real, but just a puppet," Elder Hanxiao said. "It is said that its body has long since decayed, leaving only a puppet. The things recorded in that manual are probably all fake."
"However, it is, after all, a secret manual of our clan. Even if we cannot obtain the complete version, it is still priceless."
Jiang Wang nodded slightly. "Not bad."
"I hope I'll be lucky enough to obtain the complete ultimate divine power."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wang walked towards the cold pool.
"Huh, Senior Brother Jiang Wang is actually studying that ancient corpse. Could it be that he has discovered something?" Elder Han Xiao looked surprised after Jiang Wang came over.
"I wonder who left that ancient corpse behind?" Jiang Wang hesitated slightly, then his mind stirred, and cold energy gathered, evolving into a phantom figure.
"Jiang Wang!" Elder Han Xiao's heart skipped a beat when he saw Jiang Wang suddenly materialize. "You failed to condense the profound runes?"
“No.” Jiang Wang shook his head. “I have condensed the profound meaning of ice.”
"The profound meaning of ice?"
"Didn't it condense?" Upon hearing this, Elder Hanxiao showed a look of disappointment. He was hoping that Jiang Wang could condense the profound runes and step into the second level of the Yuan Dan realm, so that he could have more foundation in the clan.
"Although I have condensed the profound meaning, I am still one step away from entering the Yuan Dan realm. I need a Cold Nether Pill!" Jiang Wang sighed. "Elder Han Ya gave me two Cold Nether Fruits to take. Unfortunately, after I condensed the profound meaning pattern of ice, the effect of the Cold Nether Fruits was weakened a lot. It only helped me condense six profound meaning patterns."
"So that's how it is." Hearing this, Elder Hanxiao breathed a slight sigh of relief. "That's good, but your Frost Bloodline is too weak. It will probably take a long time for you to completely transform into the Xuanwu Bloodline."
"No rush, take your time. Once you reach the Yuan Dan realm, anything is possible," Jiang Wang said with a slight smile.
He took out the Frost Nether Fruit and began refining it.
He then drew the chill from the edge of the cold pool into his body, nourishing his blood and veins.
He wanted to use this to temper his bloodline.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a month and a half had gone by.
"Finally, the ninth Xuanwu bloodline pattern has been formed!" On this day, Jiang Wang opened his eyes.
He felt his body surging with power, and his skin was surrounded by a chilling aura that seemed ready to transform into an ice blade and slay his enemy at any moment.
"Haha, Senior Brother Jiang Wang has finally condensed the Ice Profound Meaning Pattern and stepped into the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm!"
"Elder Hanya should reward him this time!" Several clansmen nearby rushed over to congratulate Jiang Wang after he woke up.
