238: Nine Nether Black Ice Scripture

"Hmph!"

With a light shout, Yao Delong clenched his right fist. There were no flashy Moves, only the purest, most violent power!

The punch struck like lightning, tearing through the air and creating a piercing sonic boom!

"Boom!!!"

The Profound Yuan light screen, which was sufficient to withstand an attack from an Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, cracked like fragile glass the instant it made contact with his fist, emitting a teeth-achingly crisp sound of "snap!"

Spiderweb-like cracks instantly covered the entire light screen!

Following that, under the gaze of countless shocked onlookers, that indestructible Profound Yuan light screen shattered with a roar!

It turned into dots of light filling the sky and dissipated into nothingness!

The entire first floor of the Scripture Pavilion instantly fell into a deathly silence!

You could hear a pin drop!

Everyone's expressions froze, their mouths agape wide enough to fit an egg, and their eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets!

"Hiss—!!!"

Someone gasped, and this sound was like lighting a fuse.

"Physical... Physical Body power! He shattered the Profound Yuan light screen with just his Physical Body power?!"

"My heavens! Just how terrifying must his physique be?!"

"A monster! Senior Brother Yao is definitely a monster! His Golden Core Perfection Physical Body is comparable to the Early Nascent Soul Stage?!"

"It seems to be the Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Art! It must be that legendary Earth Rank Body Refining Cultivation Technique! Senior Brother Yao actually mastered it?!"

Exclamations, gasps, and incredulous discussions erupted instantly!

Those Inner Sect Core Disciples who had originally been somewhat arrogant now looked at Yao Delong with nothing but deep awe and admiration!

To shake the threshold of the Nascent Soul with just his Physical Body! What a shocking and world-shaking power this was!

Yao Delong's expression remained calm, as if he had just done a trivial thing.

He brushed off non-existent dust and, baptized by countless gazes of awe, calmly stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor.

On the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion, the Spiritual Qi was even denser, and the air was filled with an ancient and profound aura.

Several Nascent Soul Elders and a few True Disciples with deep auras were quietly studying, and the commotion from Yao Delong breaking the light screen was loud enough to make them look over.

When they saw it was Yao Delong and sensed the terrifying, prehistoric-beast-like blood and Qi power radiating from him that had not yet fully subsided, a flash of solemnity and surprise appeared in the eyes of these Elders and True Disciples.

Lin Qingxue had been waiting at the entrance, a proud smile in her cool, clear eyes, evidently having sensed the power of that punch earlier.

"Senior Brother, choosing a Cultivation Technique here..."

This was Lin Qingxue's first time up here. She looked curiously at the various Legacy tokens (Jade Slips, ancient scrolls, runes, etc.) floating in the air, each emitting different lights and shapes.

"No contribution points or Spirit Stones are needed."

Yao Delong explained in a low voice, his words clearly audible in the quiet second floor.

"Once you select a token, communicate with the artifact spirit inside using your Divine Sense, and you can obtain the introductory chapter of the Cultivation Technique. As long as you successfully master the basics within the specified time, you can return here to obtain the complete Legacy."

Lin Qingxue's beautiful eyes brightened, somewhat surprised.

She hesitated no longer, her cool gaze sweeping over the tokens emitting a frigid aura, her powerful Nascent Soul Divine Thought carefully sensing the dao rhyme contained within them.

Yao Delong waited quietly to the side. He wasn't very interested in the Cultivation Techniques here; he already had enough Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, and what he needed was a Breakthrough in his Realm.

Soon, Lin Qingxue had a target. She raised her jade hand slightly, and two streams of light flew into her hand.

One was a Jade Slip that was ice-blue all over, as if carved from ten-thousand-year-old profound ice. It was ice-cold to the touch and radiated extreme coldness and profound dao rhyme—Nine Nether Profound Ice True Scripture (Earth Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique).

This Cultivation Technique focused on cultivating extreme cold primal yin power, condensing Nine Nether cold Qi. When mastered, it could freeze all things and freeze the Divine Soul, possessing infinite power.

The other was a thin-as-a-cicada-wing, nearly transparent ice crystal sword talisman. Inside, countless tiny ice crystal sword shadows seemed to be swimming, and its sharpness pierced the bones—Ice Soul Seven Absolutes Sword (Earth Rank Peak Grade Sword Technique).

This sword technique consisted of seven Moves, each containing a kind of extreme ice soul sword Intent. It was treacherous and unpredictable, with fierce killing power, and was a top-tier offensive technique.

Lin Qingxue sat cross-legged, and her powerful Nascent Soul Divine Thought probed into the two Legacy tokens respectively.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, a flash of joy and powerful self-confidence in her gaze.

Clearly, the introductory chapters of these two Cultivation Techniques and sword techniques were deeply imprinted in her Sea of Consciousness.

"Chosen?" Yao Delong asked with a smile.

"Mm!"

Lin Qingxue nodded vigorously, a rare look of excitement appearing on her cool face.

"Senior Brother, let's go back. I want to start comprehending them immediately!"

"Good!"

The two did not linger and left the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion under the complex gazes of several Elders and True Disciples.

Returning to Luoxia Peak, Lin Qingxue immediately entered seclusion, wholeheartedly comprehending the Nine Nether Profound Ice True Scripture and the Ice Soul Seven Absolutes Sword.

Yao Delong returned to his courtyard and, with a wave of his hand, the nine suns melting heaven furnace landed with a boom.

"Time is tight, start Alchemy!"

In the following days, Yao Delong's life became extremely regular and extremely "fulfilling."

Daytime: On the summit of Luoxia Peak, the Pill Fire blazed.

Yao Delong was like a tireless Alchemy machine, his powerful Divine Sense precisely controlling the temperature of the Pill Furnace.

Blazing Sun Yuan power was continuously injected, refining, Fusion, condensing the pill... the steps were smooth and flowing.

Refining the nine revolutions profound yang pill required full concentration and consumed a huge amount of energy; while the endless life creation pill was a Tier 6 High Grade, but as a recovery-type Medicinal Pill, the difficulty of refining it was relatively low, and the output was higher.

The fragrance of pills permeated the summit of Luoxia Peak day and night, causing countless Disciples to look up in admiration.

Nighttime: Between Heavenly Sword Peak and Luoxia Peak, red streams of light traveled back and forth.

Yao Delong shuttled frequently between Liu Rumei's Immortal Cave and Lin Qingxue's secluded courtyard to Cultivate.

At Liu Rumei's place, the violent Blazing Sun power surged endlessly.

Liu Rumei's refined Crimson Phoenix Burning Heaven Technique had surging Yuan power, containing the tyrannical power to burn everything.

Violently clashing and refining with Yao Delong's Blazing Sun True Yuan, every intense collision of Origin made the super-nine-grade Golden Core in his Dantian hum endlessly!

The invisible barrier wrapping the Golden Core was covered in cracks under the repeated impact of these scorching Origins, becoming increasingly clear and distinct.

In order to spend more time with Yao Delong in these last few days, Liu Rumei even suppressed the urge to Breakthrough that had already reached the critical point in her body, transforming all that surging power about to condense into a Golden Core into the primal yin power that nourished Yao Delong, her charming eyes hiding deep reluctance and affection.

At Lin Qingxue's place, it was the ultimate experience of the Fusion of ice and fire.

Lin Qingxue's Early Nascent Soul Stage ice Soul primal yin power was extremely pure. After Cultivating the Nine Nether Profound Ice True Scripture, this power carried a trace of the depth and extreme cold of the Nine Nether.

Merging with Yao Delong's Blazing Sun True Yuan was like sweet dew watering a blazing fire, bringing a clear, thorough throbbing that reached the depths of the Soul. The impact on that Golden Core shackle brought a strange "freeze-shatter" effect.

At the same time, Yao Delong's robust Blazing Sun True Yuan also fed back to Lin Qingxue, allowing her understanding of the new Cultivation Technique to advance by leaps and bounds.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the System notification sounded like the most beautiful music, ringing day and night.
