Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant
Chapter 1147 - 1147 81 New Spirit Beast_4

Chapter 1147: Chapter 81 New Spirit Beast_4 Chapter 1147: Chapter 81 New Spirit Beast_4 This isn’t because the Hexagram Fire Lamp is ineffective; rather, it is because Wang Ba, the user, doesn’t have enough mana to fully unleash its power.

Left with no choice, Wang Ba could only summon the Mysterious Dragon Soldiers.

Immediately, unlimited mana surged through the limbs and bones within his body, and the previously dimming light of the Hexagram Fire Lamp suddenly exploded in brilliance.

Underneath this blaze of light, Wang Ba parted the snow and wind with ease, finally breaking through to the dome above.

Only to see that the dome was actually covered with a thick layer of ice.

However, between the ice stalactites and the ice layer, there was a small gap just big enough to fit Wang Ba.

Wang Ba immediately passed through it.

...

But he hadn’t anticipated that upon facing him would be a blizzard far more intense than that below, by several times no less.

The protective light shield from the Fire Lamp, which had been stretched wide, was instantly compressed to its limit.

In the midst of the snowstorm, he could hardly make out his surroundings.

Yet at that moment, he heard the somewhat indifferent voice of the female cultivator by his ear:

“Retreat.”

Retreat?

Wang Ba was taken aback.

Before he could understand the situation, the wind and snow around him reversed in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the previously roaring blizzard disappeared without a trace.

All around him was vast openness.

There stood a solitary figure in cold white clothing on the blinding white snow.

The storm still raged far in the distance.

With the suppression gone, the light shield around Wang Ba returned to normal too.

The chill also dissipated along with it.

Wang Ba hurriedly gave a bow to the female cultivator:

“Wang Ba pays respects to the elder.”

The female cultivator remained unmoved by emotions, firm as ice, and spoke in a faint voice:

“What is your question?”

Wang Ba didn’t take offense at her attitude.

For one, he owed a debt of gratitude for her teachings, and after contemplating the “Ice-Soul God Shedding Charm”, he roughly understood the reason behind her demeanor.

With a respectful voice, he replied:

“Wang Ba has some doubts after pondering these days.”

The female cultivator, hearing this, stayed silent and simply looked at him.

Wang Ba then stated his questions one by one.

After hearing these concerns, the female cultivator’s eyes showed no ripples, yet she cast another serious glance at Wang Ba.

She then responded to each of his questions in turn.

Though she spoke little,

Her words were insightful, giving Wang Ba a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

After the female cultivator finished speaking, she paused and then spoke again, her tone still lacking any fluctuation:

“You may begin cultivating now.”

Wang Ba’s spirits lifted, knowing that his questions had indirectly revealed his understanding of the cultivation method and that he had passed the test of the elder.

But then he hesitated, bowing again and said:

“This junior has two more questions to ask of the elder.”

“Speak.”

“Yes.”

Wang Ba then said:

“The Ice Dao is domineering, even…

somewhat extreme.

According to the records in the ‘Ice-Soul God Shedding Charm’, cultivators find it nearly impossible to control the cold qi within their bodies after cultivating it, easily causing harm to others.

May I ask if the elder has a solution to this problem?”

Upon hearing Wang Ba’s words, the female cultivator fell into a rare silence before shaking her head:

“Why do you think I am here?”

Wang Ba was taken aback.

It seemed that because Wang Ba had passed her test,

The female cultivator shared more, speaking of her past in a calm tone:

“I was once the Sect Master of a Sect in Yan, second only to the primitive Demonic Sect.

Because of practicing this method, countless in my Sect were injured by me.

Therefore, I resigned from the position of Sect Master and traveled to the Northsea Continent, arriving at this place.”

So that was the reason?

He was suddenly startled, recalling how, in his early years at the Tianmen Cult, he had seen records of a female Sect Master of Yan in some travel notes.

Wherever she passed, it was said to become a land of ice, with snow swirling for thousands of miles.

Could it be the very same elder before him?

The figure from the books appearing before him in reality filled him with a peculiar sense of wonder.

“Are you…

the legendary ‘Master Mu Lian’?”

The female cultivator neither confirmed nor denied:

“He didn’t tell you?”

Wang Ba was momentarily lost for words, unsure of what to say.

He could only say honestly,

“Master…

he’s always been straightforward, but when he entrusted me with this task…

he seemed somewhat hesitant.”

“Hesitant?”

The female cultivator paused, a slight ripple of surprise appeared in her eyes.

For the first time a hint of disturbance crossed her face.

But it was quickly obscured by the reflection of the swirling snow, vanishing into thin air.

Wang Ba also quickly regained his composure and asked in confusion,

“But Master also practices the Method of Ice Dao, so why doesn’t he seem to have this problem?”

The female cultivator shook her head slightly.

Although her tone still held no emotion, her explanation inadvertently became more elaborate,

“He follows the Dao of Dharmas, seizing only the essence and not the form.

Although he has integrated the Method of Ice Dao into his practice, it serves only as an auxiliary and is not the main focus.”

“Such a waste of the Ice Dao.”

“And the power is far inferior.”

“But of course, it doesn’t affect him.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba immediately thought of following his Master Yao Wudi’s approach.

After all, he too was from the Dharma Lineage.

Yet, as if the female cultivator had already anticipated his thoughts, she shook her head and said,

“If you were to do the same as him, why would he have you come here?”

Wang Ba was startled, his mind racing, and he promptly asked,

“I would appreciate it if you could impart your guidance, senior.”

The female cultivator said calmly,

“‘Ice-Soul God Shedding Charm’, detaches emotions and desires, unaffected by all matters and beings.

Only by aligning one’s heart with the Ice Dao can one bring out its dominance to the utmost limit…

As an heir of the Myriad Laws, if you cultivate in this place using the Incarnation Method, and gather your powers after success, by the day of Immortal Ascension, you might resolve this issue.”

“Do you know of the Incarnation Method?”

“Incarnation?

Immortal Ascension?”

Wang Ba’s eyes first lit up, then he looked somewhat puzzled,

“I do know of the Incarnation Method, but does this mean only by reaching Immortal Ascension can I control the cold qi?”

It’s already difficult to integrate other essences into the Golden Core at the Golden Core Realm, not to mention integrating at the Fulfillment-stage Nascent Soul or even Immortal Ascension.

Wouldn’t that be impossibly difficult?

The female cultivator replied,

“You don’t have to worry about your lifespan not keeping up…

Cultivation of the Ice Dao naturally slows the depletion of one’s lifespan.

Your master and I are only a few years apart in age, and I am still a Nascent Soul.”

This time, Wang Ba was truly astonished.

He had known early on that this senior was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, but he had never imagined her to be about the same age as his master.

After all, his master had consumed quite a few Life-Extending Treasures, but Mrs.

Mu Lian, was it really just through this cultivation method?

His heart was both shocked and somewhat skeptical.

Yet, he was not really concerned about lifespan, but rather worried about the hard work of cultivating an Ice Road Incarnate Nascent Soul, only to find it could not be integrated with his main body.

This was not only a waste of time and energy.

More importantly, the number of incarnations was not limitless.

The Fetus Containing Incarnation Technique could at most produce only three incarnations.

To cultivate a different incarnation afterward, one would have to destroy one of the previous three to continue adding new ones.

“If you are willing to try, I know of a place that is most suitable,”

the female cultivator continued.

After some thought, Wang Ba finally made up his mind,

“Thank you for your generosity, senior.”

The female cultivator nodded slightly, then flew straight down along the pillar of heaven.

Wang Ba quickly followed.

They flew northward.

But the cold currents grew increasingly intense.

The Hexagram Fire Lamp once again found itself like ‘a candle flickering in the wind.’

Fortunately, Wang Ba, amidst the cold currents, managed to barely hold on by utilizing the ‘Cold Wind’ he had understood from the ‘Ride the Wind’ methods to slightly evade and redirect the surrounding currents.

The female cultivator seemed to notice.

She raised her hand slightly.

The harsh cold wind blowing against Wang Ba immediately eased.

And so, not knowing how long they had flown, even the immense mana of the Mysterious Dragon Soldiers felt like it was reaching its limit.

Suddenly, the female cultivator stopped in her tracks.

Looking downward.

Wang Ba also landed with difficulty beside her and followed her gaze.

Fierce winds and snow roared up from the bleak abyss below, rushing towards the sky and enveloping the entire Northsea Continent.

The abyss seemed bottomless, and no further edges could be seen.

It was as if a massive chunk of the land of the Northsea Continent had been dug out, leaving behind a gaping void.

“This is the Northern Ice Abyss,”

the female cultivator said calmly,

“and it is also the source of the extreme northern cold currents.”
