Cultivation: My efforts will be successful

Chapter 233: Ice Cave, Legend of the Lord of the Runes

The ice crystals were so fast that they covered a distance of a thousand miles in just half an hour.

We arrived at the highest snow peak temple on Kunlun Mountain.

As soon as Chen Yi emerged from the ice crystal, he felt the rich aura of a fourth-order, mid-grade spiritual vein.
Waves of icy spiritual energy drilled into his body.

Simultaneously,

thump--

thump--

Under the snowy peak, there was a wave that was pulsating like the Space Talisman, jumping up and down.

Chen Yi guessed that this should be the Ice Talisman.

However, compared with the Space Talisman, the level of this Ice Talisman may be slightly lower.
Because in Chen Yi's soul perception, and the perception of several ice runes in his golden elixir,
He felt that the Ice Talisman might not be as difficult to approach as the Space Talisman.

With his current body refining strength reaching the fourth level, perhaps he could try to touch the ice talisman.

I think that there have been people who have inherited the magic talisman in Kunlun Mountain over the years. It is probably because the rank of the ice magic talisman is lower than that of the space magic talisman.

Chen Yi guessed.

The two landed on the highest Kunfeng Mountain.
Before entering the mountain gate temple,
Chen Yi sensed that there were no less than twenty Jindan cultivators standing on a huge ice lake outside the Taoist temple.

All of them are at the late stage or peak stage of Jindan.

Moreover, Chen Yi also sensed that 3 or 5 of them were filled with strong law power.
I think he should be a Jindan cultivator.

"There's something in this Kunlun Mountain."

After the two of them descended, everyone saw Chen Yi landing right next to Qingwu Zhenjun.

Chen Yi clearly felt that there were nearly ten hostile gazes piercing him.

"Well, Chen Yi, the successor of our Kunlun Mountain Ice Talisman is selected through a selection system.
In addition to the ones I invited from outside, all my own disciples who have formed a golden elixir are eligible to compete for the inheritance of the Ice Talisman.

I told you this, didn’t I?”

Chen Yi:?
When you asked me to come, you said that it all depended on me. Now you tell me that everyone can compete?
"Well, how about I go back?"

“Don’t don’t don’t.

I'll tell you quietly,"

True Lord Qingwu switched to voice transmission:
“These guys are not very good, otherwise I wouldn’t come out to look for them.

When you try to touch the talisman later, if you encounter obstacles, just show your skills and get rid of them.
After you have conceived your baby, half of Kunlun Mountain will obey you, and no one will dare to do anything to you."

“Isn’t this part of the agreement?”

"It's not a big deal for you. Just help me teach these brats a lesson and let them know that there are always people better than you."

"It's not appropriate. You know I generally don't like to show off my skills or magical powers in front of others."

"I will give you 30% of the physical training resources I promised you."

"Seventy percent."

"Seventy percent is too much, half at most."

"make a deal."

Fairy Qingwu: Is it too early for me to refuse?
But since she had already agreed, she could only do it.

"Cough cough,"

Fairy Qingwu cleared her throat and flew to the center of the ice lake. There was an ice ladder leading downwards, and there were three cultivators in the late Jindan stage around her, all of whom were Jindan.

"You guys haven't communicated with the divine talisman for so many years. You are not cut out for this. So go and take care of the mountain gate.

Please give up your seat and let me invite Master Chen to try."

"Master. According to the sect's rules, the inheritance of the Ice Talisman requires a strict loyalty assessment.

The Master Chen you brought with you, I made him go down into the ice cave as soon as he arrived.

Isn’t this inappropriate?

Among them, a middle-aged Jindan stood up, bowed to Fairy Qingwu, and then said.

“I have been conducting the examination for twenty years, and I will make up the examination records later.

Okay, get out of the way.

Don't occupy the toilet when you can't even poop yourself."

Qingwu looked unhappy. She raised her hand and a gust of magical wind blew away the three people.
Then he turned around and smiled at Chen Yi:
"Master Chen, please. In fact, whether there is a chance or not, we can see some clues on the first try.

Our sect's ice cave has 99 steps going down, each step is one mile deep.

A cultivator without talent can only go down 9 steps at most during the Jindan stage.
According to the tens of thousands of years of tradition in Kunlun Mountain, anyone who can descend more than 20 steps when entering an ice cave for the first time will have the opportunity to be recognized by the Ice Talisman and be able to control the Ice Talisman. "

"Okay." Chen Yi nodded, expressionless, "By the way, how many steps did these masters descend?"

Chen Yi asked casually.

"Humph, the three of us brothers have each gone down to the 30th step.

Boy, I'll give you ten years. If you can't surpass us, go back to where you came from."

A Jindan replied.

30 steps?

Chen Yi roughly understood that these people on the other side should have started trying to enter the ice cave after entering the middle stage of the golden elixir. It took so long to go down 30 steps.

This shows that this ice cave is indeed difficult.

Chen Yi had to take it seriously.

"Fairy, remember our agreement. Please prepare the things, I will be back soon."

"Yes." Fairy Qingwu nodded slightly.

She turned around and ordered, "Qingxu, go get fifty drops of fourth-level ice spirit dew, and also prepare the Heavenly Thunder Body Forging Formation. When Chen Yi comes out, he will accept the inheritance."

"Fifty drops of fourth-level ice spirit dew?!"

"There is also a Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Formation?!"

The leader is the late Jindan, Qingxu Zhenren, and is also the temporary person in charge of Kunlun Mountain when Fairy Qingwu is not in the sect.
At this moment, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Master, 50 drops of fourth-grade ice spirit dew is the production of our sect for 300 years. After thousands of years of accumulation, the sect now only has less than 300 drops of storage.

Isn't it too much for you to take out 50 drops at once?
This spiritual dew, even a 3rd-stage physical cultivator in the sect needs to spend ten years of merit to apply for one drop!" "Also, do you really want to activate the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Array?
With this kid's physique, can he withstand three thunders?
This Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Formation consumes hundreds of thousands of spirit stones of Thunder Pool resources every time it is activated.
Our Junior Brother Qingyuan has been preparing for this for thirty years. In a few years, he will be able to try to start a legacy.
You're giving it directly to an outsider, isn't that inappropriate?"

"Let's talk again.

Why would he, an ordinary late Jindan cultivator, come directly to our Kunlun Mountain to obtain the divine talisman inheritance and the top-level body refining inheritance?
I'm not convinced! "

"We don't accept the result!" After Qingxu said this, the two Jindan beside him also spoke.

"This is an order, just follow it. If you don't agree, you can challenge me now. If you beat me, you will have the final say."

Fairy Qingwu's face turned cold.
These people were her fellow disciples back then. Although there was a huge gap in cultivation level between them, Qingwu was usually polite to them.

But she didn't expect that he had been spoiled so much that he dared not listen to her on such important matters of the sect.

When Fairy Qingwu released her mid-Nascent Soul spiritual pressure, the faces of the others changed slightly and they had to retreat and prepare.

But there was obvious reluctance.

Not long after, as Chen Yi was walking down the ice cave,
Qingxu came back with two golden elixirs.
"Master, here are the 50 drops of fourth-level ice spirit dew you requested.

In addition, the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Formation has also been prepared, consuming a total of 180 million spirit stones and 300 years of ice spirit dew.
Although you have the power to make the decision directly, this matter will also be recorded in the sect's expenditure.
When someone from the higher realm comes to ask about it, you can explain it yourself."

After reporting, Qingxu took the two golden cores and stayed there. He stood at the entrance of the ice cave and observed Chen Yi, wanting to know how low Chen Yi could go.
If he can't even get through the first 10 levels on the first day, then if the sect leader still wants to give these resources to Chen Yi, they will definitely unite and not agree.

The high-quality resources of Kunlun Mountain cannot be wasted.

In the ice cave,
As soon as Chen Yi got down, he knew why even a Jindan cultivator could not descend for long here.
Just entered the first stage,
Then a feeling of extreme coldness came over Chen Yi.

The initial stage of that extreme coldness reached the peak of the third level.

If it were any other ordinary golden elixir, it would need to rely on its magic power to resist, and it would probably be frozen to death in the first stage within an hour.

Only those Jindan who practiced ice-based skills could survive here for a while longer.

For Chen Yi,

This kind of icy force attack, which was less than the middle stage of the fourth stage, was already difficult to break his golden skin.
Even if Chen Yi doesn't need magic power, he can still go down to many levels.

However, Chen Yi knew that he was not here to resist the icy force.
He had experience communicating with the talisman.
The purpose of coming here is to comprehend the laws and runes of the divine runes, resonate with the divine runes step by step from the law level, and then achieve the goal of mutual integration and acceptance.

This is the real and formal channel to collect talismans.

So after going down the first step, Chen Yi did not move at all, and kept using the only three extremely cold runes in his golden elixir to sense the pulse of the divine rune a hundred miles below.

Logically speaking, Chen Yi only has three extremely cold runes on his golden elixir, which is the most basic type of ice golden elixir talent.
He was far inferior to the three Jindan cultivators above.
It is difficult for Chen Yi to surpass the three Jindan above.

But Chen Yi had experience, and the Yang Bing technique he practiced was very resilient, so he was very receptive to the extreme cold runes.
Thirdly, the rank of this Ice Talisman is far inferior to that of the Space Talisman.

Therefore, it only took Chen Yi a quarter of an hour to find the frequent pulse of the Ice Talisman.
then,

Chen Yi used the extremely cold runes in his golden elixir and his powerful fourth-stage mid-level spiritual consciousness to begin following, analyzing, and comprehending the pulse of the runes.

Several hours passed.

According to the formation display outside, Chen Yi still remained in the first ice stage and did not descend.

"Master, is this the expert you invited from outside? Half a day has passed, and he still can't get down to the second level.

This level, any ordinary late-stage True Dan person in our sect can achieve it.

Master, what do you think? Let him inherit your divine status?"

He had been unable to move for several hours, and it seemed to them that Chen Yi's magic power was obviously struggling against the extreme cold in the ice cave, and it should have reached its limit.

Fairy Qingwu did not reply. She was a little unsure.

Could it be that all of Chen Yi’s talents are in space, and he has no talent for ice?
If I am really not as good as these people in my sect, then I will be embarrassed.

And the very next moment,
In people’s perception,
Chen Yi suddenly began to descend.
The speed was not fast, but very steady. After spending nearly a hundred breaths, Chen Yi slowly descended to the second level.
Then it stopped moving again.

At this time, in the golden elixir of Chen Yi's body, a new extreme cold rune has taken shape, and is slowly but firmly outlining its symbol.

After reaching the second stage, the speed of drawing the fourth new rune became even faster.
After that, after staying for several hours, Chen Yi felt that after learning the second-level ice rune,
Then he started to move towards the third level.

then,

The third stage, the fourth stage, Chen Yi will stay longer at each stage.
But every time, Chen Yi would continue to move towards the next level with determination.

It was not until a few days later, when Chen Yi descended to the fifth level,
Finally, everyone outside was stunned.
Although those Jindans still had some doubts, they didn't dare to speak so loudly anymore.
"Brother, this is not right?
Even if it was only the first five stages, the icy energy inside was not something that an ordinary Jindan cultivator could withstand.

Even if you and I go down, we should make quick decisions and get down to level 30 within a day, instead of wasting mana on the first few levels, right?"

"There is a problem. He is not good enough, but he can stay in this ice cave for three days and still be alive.

Let's say he's good.

The simplest part of the first few steps took so long.
Going down into the ice cave depends on rushing down in one go, or on enduring? How do you endure?
Can the bodies of monks like us endure the extreme cold of ice?"

"But brother, what if someone in this world can survive this?"

“If someone can survive this Ice Talisman, then that person is definitely not a person, but a piece of ice!”

The conversation between the two brothers brought Fairy Qingwu's thoughts back to her childhood.
When she was a child, she also asked her master the same question.
Her master said that there was a legend among the ancestors of the sect that tens of thousands of years ago, a genius with an extremely cold talent appeared in the holy land of the sect in the upper world.

That evil genius, when he was studying the Ice Talisman, endured it layer by layer like this.

In the end, that genius, with his Golden Core cultivation, forcibly analyzed and learned all the extreme cold laws on the talisman.

Then he swallowed the divine talisman into his stomach and refined it into his own foundation.

Since then, that evildoer has been cultivating to the level of transcending tribulation, and he is also the genius leader who led the holy land of the upper realm sect to become one of the top powerful families in the heavens.

However, such a monstrous genius is rare even in the upper realms. For a small realm like ours, don't even think about it.
Communicate with the talisman with peace of mind, gain its recognition, and activate some of its functions to protect the sect.

This was the answer given by Fairy Qingwu's master.

"But, Master, how long do we have to protect this Ice Talisman?"

"I don't know either, but it's been passed down from generation to generation.
perhaps,

We have to guard it until tens of thousands of years later, when the next evil genius appears, takes the Ice Talisman into his body, and then leads us Kunlun Mountain out of this small cultivation world, right?"

Fairy Qingwu recalled the words that even her master was not sure about.

Waves of emotion arise in my heart.

Chen Yi, could he be the chosen one that the sect has been waiting for tens of thousands of years?

Ah,
Then she laughed and shook her head. How could it be possible? This child was born as a mortal slave and grew up as a casual cultivator. It was a great fortune for such a person to inherit and control the divine talisman.

Swallow the talisman and become the master of the talisman?
how is this possible.
