The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 407 The Lesser Cold Arrives

"The chilling aura of the vast ocean?"

"Major Cold and Minor Cold?"

Wang Wu's heart stirred, and he immediately used the Hidden Origin Jade Talisman to inquire about the relevant information of the Azure Sea Cold Qi.

The reply, however, made him frown.

"Due to insufficient permissions, we are unable to perform the relevant query. As for the classification of the Cangming Cold Qi levels, it is based on the impact of the Cangming Cold Qi on cultivators. The details are as follows."

"The Level 1 Alert for the Azure Sea Cold Qi will cause devastating damage to mortals, ordinary living beings, and ordinary plants and trees. Without the protection of a corresponding magic array, even in the most sturdy and sealed houses, the fire in the stove will be extinguished, and everything will return to death."

"The Azure Sea Cold Qi is at Level 2 alert. It will cause devastating damage to cultivators below the sixth rank, as well as demons and monsters. The cold qi will penetrate meridians, spiritual pills, and demon cores. Without the protection of a corresponding magic array, they will usually die within a few hours."

"The level 3 alert for the Cangming Cold Qi will cause devastating damage to cultivators and demons below the third rank. The cold qi will penetrate protective magic and destroy spiritual pills and demon cores. Without the protection of a corresponding magic array, they will usually die within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

"The Azure Sea Cold Qi is at Level 4 alert. It will cause devastating damage to cultivators of the first rank and below, as well as demons and monsters. There is no chance of survival."

"The level 5 alert for the Cangming Cold Qi will be fatal to cultivators at the third level of Earth Immortal and below, as well as demons and monsters. Without the protection of a corresponding magic array, they will usually die within a few days."

"The level 6 alert for the Azure Sea Frost will cause fatal penetrating damage to cultivators at the sixth level of Earth Immortal and below, as well as demons and monsters. There is absolutely no chance of survival."

"The Azure Sea Cold Qi is at Level 7 alert. It will cause fatal penetrating damage to cultivators at the ninth level of Earth Immortal and below, as well as demons and monsters. There is no chance of survival."

"The Azure Sea Cold Qi is at Level 8 alert. It will cause serious damage to immortals below the third level of Taiyi True Immortal. If they are exposed to the cold qi for a long time, it will be fatal."

"The level 9 alert for the Cangming Cold Qi will have a terrible effect on immortals below the sixth level of Taiyi True Immortal. Prolonged exposure to the cold qi will be fatal."

"Cangming Cold Qi above level 10 is meaningless and will not be explained."

-

Good guy!
Wang Wu gasped. No wonder even the Hidden Origin Society was on high alert; this Cangming Cold Qi was far too terrifying.

And these are only two of the twenty-four solar terms. What about the other solar terms?
However, if the Hidden Origin Society headquarters is in such a state, why is the person in charge of the Dragon Head City branch not making any moves? Could it be that preparations are already complete?
As the second-in-command, he's really been sidelined and relegated to the sidelines.

I used the Hidden Origin Jade Talisman to search for Hidden Origin Society missions in Dragon Head City, and there were quite a few, ranging from the third to the ninth rank. The missions were varied, but most of them were related to the arrival of the Lesser Cold solar term.

It seems the new person in charge is really well-prepared, so there's nothing for him to do.

Wang Wu is happy to have some peace and quiet, huh?

Just as I was thinking this, several lines of information appeared, this time from the new person in charge.

"Motion! The Lesser Cold solar term will officially arrive in three days, and the first wave of Cangming cold air will soon arrive. In response to the call of the Hidden Origin Society headquarters, the dividends of all Hidden Origin Society deacons in this altar will be halved today, and will return to normal after the Lesser Cold and Greater Cold solar terms are over."

"Motion! Lower the activation threshold of the Hidden Origin Bell. Reduce the maximum response distance of the Hidden Origin Bell from the standard radius of 100,000 li to a radius of 30,000 li. Reduce the maximum protective effect of the Hidden Origin Bell by half, and restore it to normal after the Great Cold and Lesser Cold solar terms."

"Proposal! Form two outer city patrol teams to prevent the cold-weather insects, cold-weather birds, and cold-weather beasts from damaging the city walls. One team will be led by the Chief Steward, and the other by the Deputy Chief Steward. Each patrol will last for fifteen days, and the two patrol teams will patrol alternately."

-

So there's no such thing as peace and quiet, here we are!

Wang Wu did not hesitate and immediately agreed. In the blink of an eye, all three motions were passed unanimously.

The next moment, the person in charge sent him a private message.

"Ruzi can be taught!"

That's really interesting.

Wang Wu smiled silently, too lazy to pay attention to this rather childish behavior, even though in reality everything that guy did was just for the mountain battle between the two factions of Frost Lord and Gray Elder.

However, after witnessing the terror of a level 27 diviner, Wang Wu felt that he should think things through carefully and that it was better to remain still than to act rashly.

Every action taken will be analyzed, but as long as you don't clash with anyone, the chances of being analyzed will be greatly reduced.

If he hadn't killed Elder Hui's fifth disciple three hundred years later, would Elder Hui have been able to deduce it three hundred years ago?
So, ridicule me if you want, make things difficult for me if you want, I won't budge. As long as I don't make any major mistakes, and with Old Gray as my powerful backer, you can't really kill me off.

Wang Wu can be summed up in one word: cowardly and timid.

We should slowly accumulate strength and wait until we can break out of the predictive range of a level 27 diviner before discussing anything else.

Unless the old man in gray orders him to charge towards Frost Lord's mountain, he has no choice but to charge.

Next, Wang Wu went to the Qiankun Tower to visit General Snow Wolf. It was currently the only one in the tower, and it had been diligently cultivating for the past eight years, currently attempting to break through to the first rank. Of the ten million points of spiritual energy given to it previously, less than a million had been used up…

So weak it's almost cute.

Because unlike Xiong Shiliu, Yuan Bupo, and Lao Niu, it didn't undergo a series of potential-enhancing surgeries performed by Wang Wu.

In fact, even Wolf Bu'er has advanced to the first rank, but it would be a bit difficult for Snow Wolf General to advance to the first rank on his own.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big problem. Wang Wu casually rubbed his body and it turned out to be a sixth-grade Five Elements Spirit Pill...

When General Snow Wolf awoke from his meditation, he specially built a small courtyard, constructed two thatched huts, prepared a table of wine and dishes, and enjoyed a short drink with it, spending some time with it and offering some guidance.

He no longer expected General Snow Wolf to become his secret weapon someday, but he enjoyed this moment of pleasure, as if he were reminiscing about the past.

Before leaving, Wang Wu left behind a top-grade hair and a wisp of divine thought.

Cultivation is too arduous, and the world is fleeting; he should give it a perfect ending. After leaving the Qiankun Tower, Wang Wu went to the cave of Snake Nineteen, who had also been in seclusion for nearly eight years. Under the deliberate obstruction of the new manager, this second-rank steward had no room to maneuver and could only eat his share of the profits in his cave every day, meditate in seclusion to comprehend the Dao, and refine his supernatural powers.

And it, aside from the fact that they were related by blood beyond the fifth degree of kinship, was actually the companion that Wang Wu was most looking forward to.

"After eight years of seclusion, have you gained anything?"

"Guess?" Snake Nineteen sat cross-legged there, a faint smile on his face, a calm gaze, and seemed to be in good spirits.

Wang Wu didn't stand on ceremony and directly activated his level 18 spiritual talent, reading Snake Nineteen from beginning to end in thirty seconds.

Then, he suddenly made a move, pointing his finger into the void. Snake Nineteen let out a muffled groan, his expression changed, and it felt as if all the bones in his body had fallen apart. Even the demon core, spirit core, blood and qi, and all the supernatural powers and talents within his body were rendered ineffective for a second.

Wang Wu did not continue, but simply waited quietly for Snake Nineteen to return to normal.

"So this is the level 18 perception. It's really impressive. Your strength is clearly several levels lower than mine, yet you were able to kill me a hundred times over in that instant."

Snake Nineteen exclaimed in admiration, then asked, "Do you think there's anything about my cultivation that needs improvement?"

"Actually, I can't say for sure either." Wang Wu smiled, while at this moment, the Four Clowns had quickly sorted out Snake Nineteen's full attributes and he took a look at them roughly.

Snake Nineteen's lifespan has now exceeded ten thousand years, which is clearly due to its previous advancement.

Health and stamina are currently stuck at 69999 points.

Basic agility, basic strength, and basic defense are all capped at 999 points.

There are a total of five demon cores, all of which are first-grade Ruyi demon cores, but no Five Elements Spirit Array has been deployed.

In addition, there are two spirit pills, which are rare first-grade Ruyi Wind and Fire Spirit Pills. Unlike Ice and Fire Spirit Pills, they have a mutually reinforcing effect.

Similarly, the Five Elements Spiritual Array was not deployed in the acquired system.

The bloodline evolution level is currently 58.9%, which is already very strong.

Level 14 Invincible Body, Level 14 Demonic Wind, Level 14 Auspicious Body Protection, Level 12 Unbreakable Golden Body, Level 24 Danger Perception, Level 12 Spiritual Essence, Level 22 Passive Concealment, Level 18 Self-Healing, Level 25 Snake Kiss, Level 23 Charm.

In addition, it should also possess several magical powers.

He possesses a natal flying sword of the fifth rank.

And two natal demonic weapons of the fifth rank, namely those two poisonous fangs.

Its resistance to Yin Fire is 800, its resistance to Evil Wind is 1200, and its resistance to Yang Lightning is 300.

This is pretty much its core data.

And this is roughly the data for a seventh-level Earth Immortal.

"Do you know the Five Elements Heaven-Mending Technique?" Wang Wu asked at this moment.

“I know, but it’s a pity we have no chance to see it. It is said that this is the true secret of the cultivation world outside. The Five Elements Pill Manual and the Five Elements Spirit Array that we, the escapees of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison, can obtain are all incomplete. Do you remember that we were unable to refine the fifth-grade Five Elements Spirit Pill in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower?”

Snake Nineteen said quickly.

"Then do you know how to deploy the Five Elements Spirit Array?" Wang Wu asked again, also quite surprised. He thought that anyone who knew more about the Five Elements Spirit Array and the Five Elements Pill Technique should be able to think of deploying the Five Elements Spirit Array within their body.

"Of course, but as I said, it's incomplete."

"Have you ever tried deploying a Five Elements Spirit Array within your body? I mean, a Five Elements Spirit Array deployed using five demon cores as its core..."

"What did you say!"

Snake Nineteen was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. "You, you mustn't tell me that you did this."

"That's right! I think it's pretty good."

"You really are ignorant and fearless. But perhaps it's feasible. Is this the deployment you want me to make?"

“Yes, I don’t know what the real Five Elements Heaven-Mending Technique is, but the advantages of deploying a Five Elements Spirit Array based on five demon cores are unimaginable, and it may even make your ancient bloodline purer,” Wang Wu sincerely suggested.

"But the timing isn't right now. The person in charge has asked us to form patrol teams..."

"Ignore him. If you agree, I can set it up for you immediately!"

"you?"

“That’s right. If you deploy it yourself, it will take a lot of time and resources to try and fail. We need to become stronger.”

Wang Wu said calmly.

"Just for myself? What about your two young ladies?" Snake Nineteen thought of something else.

“They won’t do. One of the prerequisites for the Five Elements Spirit Array is that you must have five demon cores or five spirit cores. On this point, Snow Wolf has already been eliminated. As for Yu Jiayan, maybe he can do it in the future, but there’s no time. At this stage, only you meet the requirements, and I believe in you.”

Upon hearing this, Snake Nineteen couldn't help but laugh. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

"Come on, I believe in you too."
