151: Ice Phoenix's blood
🕑 Added 2025-01-07 15:53:21 +0000 UTCThe woman pursed her lips, stretched out two fingers, and lightly pushed forward a spatial ring. Supported by a gentle breeze, the ring landed in Yun Wuji’s hands. “I came to deliver the Profound Jades and cores,” she said.
Shifting her gaze, she said in a soft voice, "There's more than half of the sect's storage of jades and cores in it. I really wonder what you're planning to do with all of them."
"Thank you," Yun Wuji said, holding the ring in his hand. "I won’t take any more of Senior Sister’s time. Goodbye." With those words, he turned and walked away.
Seeing that he was about to leave right after receiving the ring, the woman called out, "Little brother, wait. Don't you want to chat more with this big sis?"
Chat with her? He would, but only if she were Mu Xuanyin. He wouldn’t gain anything from this seductive demoness because she was here just to probe him, since she probably noticed something strange about him.
"Nah, I'll pass," Yun Wuji shook his head, a meaningful smile on his face. "See you later, Sect Master."
When he said those words, the woman blinked and, with her sultry and cottony voice, asked, "Hmm~ I'm sure you've never seen me before. How did you know?"
"Replying to Sect Master, I have never seen what the Sect Master looks like, but I can spot a Divine Master when I see one," Yun Wuji replied respectfully. "Since you are the only Divine Master in the whole Snow Song Realm, it wasn't that difficult for me to guess your identity."
'I am getting better and better at bullshiting.'
"Mm~ Little brother, you have penetrating eyes. You pierced right through me~" 'Mu Xuanyin' chuckled with a seductive voice, her soul-stealing eyes fluttering as she looked at him.
"...If Sect Master will excuse me, I still have matters to attend to," Yun Wuji said, ignoring her misleading words before turning around to leave.
"Sigh~ Kids these days are scary~" Watching him leave, the woman said, and with her sigh, her figure faded.
Once Yun Wuji returned to his cultivation room, he immediately took the storage ring and inspected the space inside. "Oh... I didn't expect her to be this generous. Perhaps I misjudged her," he murmured.
Inside the space was a vast amount of profound jades, crystals, and many profound beast cores!
The quantity was staggering, with more than five Divine King realm beast cores among them.
"Hehe, I feel like I am having a sugar mommy right now," Yun Wuji laughed excitedly as he held the ring with both hands. Everyone liked generous people. Suddenly, he thought of Luo Guxie. "Wait, I already do have a sugar mommy."
Immediately, Yun Wuji took out the beast core of a mid-level Divine Origin Beast and sat cross-legged, closing his eyes.
At the same time, right above the cultivation room, Mu Xuanyin looked down at it, her eyes narrowed.
The core in his hands contained countless times more energy than that of peak monarch cores. As he used the Law of Nothingness, profound energy from the core began flowing toward his body, entering his profound veins.
"...!!!" Mu Xuanyin, observing him from the outside, froze in place. Her body stiffened instantly, and her eyes widened in shock. Her aura fluctuated violently. It wasn't just her; the Devil Queen, sharing her senses, was even more shocked. She muttered absentmindedly, "What is this sorcery?!"
Clack!
Boom!
After nearly an hour, the profound core in Yun Wuji's hand shattered into ashes. In the next instant, profound energy leaked from his body, and with a loud thunderous boom, he broke through to the 6th level of the Divine Origin Realm.
Back in the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake, Yun Wuji refined the divine soul of the Ice Phoenix and broke through to the peak 5th level of the Divine Origin Realm. He was only a few inches away from reaching the 6th level.
Slowly, Yun Wuji opened his eyes and stood up. He extended his fist, and pure profound energy surged from it. In the next instant, it transformed into Ice, then Lightning, followed by Wind, Earth, Fire, and finally Light.
The process of changing from one element to another was extremely smooth and fast. If anyone were to witness this, they would not believe their eyes.
The main reason why most people cultivate only one Law is due to the conflict between different Laws. For example, if someone cultivates the Law of Fire, it is absolutely impossible for them to cultivate the Law of Water. In fact, it is already difficult for them to cultivate any other Law, like Earth or Lightning.
That’s why the number of people who cultivate different Laws is extremely rare. Even then, most of them only cultivate two different Laws, such as Darkness and Wind.
As for three Laws, in the entire Eastern Divine Region, there had only been one person in this generation who managed to do that, and that person was Luo Changsheng, the 'number one genius' of the Eastern Divine Region.
Of course, Yun Wuji is an exception.
'I really want to see her face right now, hehe,' Yun Wuji thought, retracting his hand. Even thinking with his feet, he could easily predict that Mu Xuanyin would be spying on him.
After all, he had too many secrets. Just the fact that he could use Light Profound Energy or dive deeper than even her in the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake was enough to warrant her keeping an eye on him.
Naturally, Yun Wuji was purposely showing these things to her. Firstly, because since he had already met the Ice Phoenix, it meant that Mu Xuanyin would never harm him. Secondly, he was 'exposing' these things to make her lower her guard against him. After all, people always tend to believe in the things they discover themselves.
If he were to show her his skills and talk about other secrets like the Crimson Calamity, even if she believed him, she would still harbor some suspicion toward him. After all, she was over 10,000 years old, and he couldn't expect her to trust him easily.
He had already experienced that with Jasmine, who was only 13 years old. It took him a lot of effort to get her to open up to him, and even then, she still ended up leaving him.
After sorting out his thoughts, Yun Wuji held the ring in his hand and muttered softly, "Although the quantity is huge, it will probably only help me reach the Divine Soul Realm."
Although he indeed received half the storage of the entire sect, it was still impressive that he could reach the Divine Soul Realm with this quantity.
Back then, Yun Che used all the energy the Ice Phoenix gave him and plundered many sects and realms, including the Thousand Desolation Divine Sect, which was the realm king sect controlling an upper realm. He even used more than thirty Divine Master cores, yet after three whole years, he only managed to reach the 8th level of the Divine Sovereign Realm.
And it took him another year to break through to the 10th level of the Divine Sovereign Realm, even with the support of the three King Realms of the Northern Divine Region.
This, in itself, was an impressive achievement. The average person would never be able to reach that level, even in 10,000 years.
Yun Che needed countless times more energy than other people to break through a level or realm. Yun Wuji, on the other hand, required even more energy than him to break through, especially for the last three levels of each realm.
The resources of a middle-star realm were just not enough for him.
'But it's still pretty good,' Yun Wuji clenched the ring in his hand and thought.
...
The next day, after helping Mu Bingyun remove the poison from her body, Yun Wuji followed her into the core area to enter the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake again. Although he had no need for it, it was still better to keep up the act, even if Mu Xuanyin would eventually discover that he was just pretending.
After all, he couldn't let her know that he already knew she that knew.
This time, as Yun Wuji stepped into the core region, a graceful white figure stood silently by the lake's edge. As he approached, she turned to face him, her cold eyes locking onto his.
'Oh, so it's Mu Xuanyin this time,' Yun Wuji thought as he noted her icy demeanor. Bowing respectfully, he said, "Greetings, Sect Master!"
"Come here," Mu Xuanyin nodded lightly and motioned for him to step closer. When Yun Wuji approached, she gestured toward the lake and said, "Enter."
"Yes," Although he had no idea what she intended, he still complied with her command and stepped into the lake, this time fully clothed.
Mu Xuanyin waited until Yun Wuji was submerged in the water, leaving only his head visible. She stretched out her delicate, pale hand, and at the tip of her finger rested a drop of icy blue blood. "Refine this," she commanded.
"This... is this the blood of the Ice Phoenix?" Yun Wuji asked, his tone filled with surprise as he stared at the drop. Then, shifting his gaze to Mu Xuanyin, he added, "Sect Master, the origin blood of the Ice Phoenix is incredibly precious. Why would you want to give it to me?"
Honestly, he was taken aback. Why would she want to give this to him? He wasn’t her disciple, nor did he share any close connection with her.
What did the Ice Phoenix do to her?
"Shut up and refine it," Mu Xuanyin ordered coldly, without answering, as she lightly thrust her finger forward. The icy blue blood immediately shot toward him and entered his body.
