Chapter 332: Chapter 332: Strange Changes in Mountains and Rivers_1

Ling Xiao, upon advancing, immediately used a template to conceal his cultivation level at the stage of a half-step Grandmaster.

He didn’t want to enter the Inner Sect so early just yet.

Guanghan Celestial Venerate had said that if one, as an Outer Disciple, passed the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony during the Moonlit Festival, there would be extra rewards.

Even for this reward, he could bear with it for a while.

After all, it was only a matter of a few months.

Hm?

Just as Ling Xiao had finished using the template to secure his hard-earned cultivation level, he suddenly discovered—

The integration level of his Mountain and River Martial Soul with his soul, which had been stagnant, had unexpectedly reached a full ten out of ten.

Boom~~

Boom~~

The sounds coming from within his body were like those of an earthquake; he could feel that the Mountain and River Martial Soul was undergoing some kind of special transformation.

As to what this transformation was, Ling Xiao had no clue whatsoever.

He was somewhat expectant yet also somewhat fearful.

Back in Yunkong City, Ling Xiao was well aware that his Martial Soul was no ordinary one; thus, each of its transformations would entail completely different scenarios than those of common Martial Souls.

He looked inward at his Mountain and River World and found that, at this time, it had turned into a doomsday scene.

Floods!

Earthquakes!

Meteorites!

Volcanic eruptions!

One terrifying scene after another, as if some power was being continuously released.

"Ah~~"

It was at this moment that Ling Xiao suddenly felt an intense pain surging from the depths of his soul.

This pain was even more dreadful than regenerating from broken bones.

He almost completely lost consciousness in an instant.

His whole body was drenched in sweat, and his complexion turned deathly pale.

If he hadn’t already experienced severe pain several times before, he probably would have almost been unable to bear it and collapsed.

Endure!

Hold on!

He must hold on!

He faintly felt that although the change in the Mountain and River Martial Soul was violent, it was not harmful.

To rebuild, one must first undergo destruction!

Perhaps this very destruction was meant for a new birth.

He sat there, gritting his teeth, with blood all over his gums and his lips bitten till they bled, his hands scratched bloody by his own fingernails.

This agony, worse than death itself, lasted for nearly half an hour before gradually subsiding.

Ling Xiao took in a deep breath; the road to cultivation was indeed difficult. If one’s willpower wasn’t strong enough, they would probably have been done for by now.

He looked inward at the Mountain and River World once again.

To his astonishment, he found that the Mountain and River World had returned to calm, yet no vegetation grew—nothing but a world of ice and snow.

However, within these thick layers of ice, something seemed to be gestating; he could even almost hear the heartbeat of the earth.

The pain was gone, but was this the end of it?

Ling Xiao was somewhat unconvinced.

After destruction comes rebirth. Now, the destruction had taken place, entering an ice age, but the rebirth had not yet occurred.

He checked his current situation.

According to the state of ordinary martial artists ascending to the Transcendent Realm—

When the soul’s potential rises to the Transcendent Realm, a "Spirit Sea" is created within the brain domain.

When the inner strength potential rises to the Transcendent Realm, a "Qi Sea" is created at the Dantian.

When the body’s potential rises to the Transcendent Realm, all the acupuncture points throughout the body open up, forming a circulation with the Nine Martial Meridians and the entire meridian network, continuously absorbing the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth; the human body itself becomes an existence akin to the Spirit Sea and Qi Sea.

The first type of martial artist’s True Essence comes from the Spirit Sea, mainly transformed by Soul Power;

The second type of martial artist’s True Essence comes from the Qi Sea, generated by the inner strength and then refined by the Qi Sea;

The third type of martial artist’s True Essence comes from the outside, enters through the acupuncture points, and then is transformed into True Essence through the refinement of the meridians and Martial Veins.

Ling Xiao is different from these people.

He has all three potentials simultaneously ascending to the Transcendent Realm, so all three exist.

This makes his source of True Essence much richer, and naturally, he will have much more than those who only have one type of potential ascending, at least three times as much just from normal cultivation.

The quality, too, is much stronger due to the condensation of the three types of True Essence.

All three types of True Essence eventually flow into the Martial Veins and are stored up, becoming the energy source for martial artists to execute martial skills.

As of now, his Internal Cultivation Mind Techniques "Twelve Golden Lotus Art" and defensive Martial Arts "Heavenly Dragon Golden Body" are not inferior to the top-tier golden martial arts.

Therefore, the True Essence he produces from the Qi Sea and from the absorption of Spiritual Qi through his acupuncture points is more abundant and of higher quality.

However, the True Essence produced by the Spirit Sea is somewhat lackluster.

Because he does not yet have a soul cultivation method that could rival "Twelve Golden Lotus Art" and "Heavenly Dragon Golden Body."

Next, he must acquire a set of soul cultivation methods that are at least at the precious golden level, and of course, it would be best if they were top-tier golden level.

After checking his body’s condition, Ling Xiao felt that the changes to the Mountain and River Martial Soul were likely not over yet.

There might be an even more terrifying transformation after the glacier melts, and by then, the pain he’ll have to endure will probably be much more intense.

It should not be over yet.

Although that’s what he thought, since there was no longer any movement from the Mountain and River Martial Soul, he decided to rest for a while and take a bath.

The sweat from earlier made his body sticky and uncomfortable.

When he left the cave dwelling and found a secluded spring to bathe in, he witnessed a tragic scene. As soon as he jumped into the water, the entire spring instantly froze into ice, thick enough that not even a ten-thousand-ton Giant Beast could break through it by stepping on it.

"How can I not even take a bath now!"

Strangely enough, this terrifying chill did not affect his body in the slightest, and the sweat on him did not freeze.

But as for anything external, it would freeze instantaneously, no matter what it was.

This terrifying chill was even more astonishing than the cold air of the Guanghan Celestial Venerate.

Ling Xiao even suspected that with this chill alone, he could easily defeat a first-level Transcendent Realm martial artist. It wasn’t a martial skill, but it was superior to many golden martial skills.

Hmm?

It’s starting again!

Ling Xiao broke through the ice layer and leaped out, then put on his clothes and accelerated, running wildly into the deep mountains.

The abnormality of the Mountain and River Martial Soul could cause some special phenomena, and if he stayed at the Moon Hua Sect, he might be suspected.

With his current abilities, it was impossible to be completely undetectable by others.

So he must get away from here.

Otherwise, once it was detected that he possessed the Mountain and River Martial Soul, he would likely be forcibly stripped of his Martial Soul if he did not die.

With Ling Xiao’s speed, he could instantly run dozens of miles.

This time he ran for half a shichen, having long left the bounds of the Moon Hua Sect and entered the edge of the Fulong Mountain Range.

It has been said before that the Fulong Mountain Range is vast with Tianfeng City merely on its border.

And the Moon Hua Sect is located deep within the Fulong Mountain Range.

His current position was closer to Tianfeng City.

There were many terrifying Monster Beasts here, especially Ninth-level Monsters. However, upon seeing Ling Xiao, they lay there as if they had seen an even more ferocious beast, daring not to make a move.

Indeed, the strong command respect and fear wherever they are, even among these beasts.
