The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 561 Chaotic Great Luo
“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to waste your time. Conventional methods are useless. If you don’t save me and continue to run around aimlessly like this, you will be discovered by the Cold God sooner or later. If you’re lucky, you’ll end up like me. If you’re unlucky, you’ll become an immortal pill of eternal life and be swallowed by the Cold God.”

At this moment, the strange voice rang out again from behind Wang Wu, as if it were only three meters away from him.

This is getting a bit tricky. They can't shake off the substitution trick. What kind of tactic is this?
Could it be that he has already been discovered by Han Shen?

Wang Wu remained silent, but stopped running away. He retracted the eight hairs and prepared to examine himself from head to toe. He didn't believe that this thing could be so powerful.

At this moment, the strange voice rang out again, "I know you must have doubts, which is understandable. Do you still remember the longevity worm in the alchemy furnace? That was me. I have been imprisoned by that cold god for countless years and treated like a laborer, refining the Longevity Elixir for him. I was already in despair, but I didn't expect to meet you, fellow Daoist. You are actually able to defy the Five Calamities. That's why I used some small tricks. I only ask that you rescue me."

It was that worm!
Wang Wu was taken aback, but his doubts lessened slightly, because he had indeed noticed that the strange worm seemed to be coerced and acted against its will.

Of course, this doesn't mean that this insect is anything special.

Thinking this, Wang Wu remained silent. If you want to persuade me, you'd better come up with something truly useful.

"Thank you for listening, fellow Daoist. I understand that you still have doubts. But please hear me out. Fellow Daoist, you will find it difficult to escape without my help. This is because the Cold God is an ancient Chaos Great Luo, formed from the cold energy of the Cangming Sea. His body forms a world of its own, called the Cold Realm. Within the Cold Realm, there are many Cangming people, but in reality, they are all manifestations of the Cold God's consciousness."

"It can be said that all the billions of Cangming people in the entire Cold Realm are avatars of the Cold God. Don't be fooled by the fact that those Cangming people have even developed their own culture, their own language, and their own joys, sorrows, and partings. In reality, it's all the Cold God entertaining himself. If you are discovered by any one of them, even a newborn baby, or even just seen by them for a single glance, you will be exposed."

"The Cold God is an ancient Chaos Great Luo, and you are currently inside its body. Even if you are already a half-step Great Luo, you will still die a terrible death."

"Furthermore, I am not afraid for you to know, fellow Daoist. I was once a Great Luo of the Ancient Chaos, but I was careless and fell into this predicament. I have been enslaved by that Cold God ever since and still cannot escape. Fellow Daoist, please think twice!"

After listening, Wang Wu remained silent, but his heart was churning. The ancient Chaos Great Luo?
Besides, given how difficult it is for you, how can I possibly get you out of here?
Not right, not right!
Wang Wu continued to examine his entire body, while the insect seemed to grow anxious. "Fellow Daoist, I know you don't believe me, but it's alright. You'll believe me sooner or later. The only entrance and exit to this Cold Realm is inside the mouth of the Cold God. You will come to find me. After you've been trapped for hundreds of thousands of years, after you've tried every method, I'll be in the alchemy furnace..."

As it finished speaking, Wang Wu discovered the special feature of himself: the insect had left a tiny, rice-grain-sized talisman on his shoulder at some unknown time.

However, this talisman is rapidly degrading and disappearing. Wang Wu's immortal body is immune to all evil, so it's quite remarkable that the insect could leave such a way of leaving it behind silently.

So, should we cooperate with this insect?

After all, what it said was very likely true: the entire Cold Realm was formed from the body of the Cold God, and the billions of Cangming Clan members in the Cold Realm were all avatars of the Cold God. This was indeed quite frightening.

Even though Wang Wu's strength has increased dramatically and his divine soul has become extremely powerful, he can only form 36,000 strands of divine thoughts at present.

And that's not how you compare them.

In addition, we must also be wary of the insect's trickery. The Cold God must be keeping a very close watch on this so-called longevity insect. Any slight movement will alert the Cold God. Who knows if this is not the same kind of substitution trick?
Anyway, let's try other methods first.

Furthermore, if we think about it from the opposite perspective, why would I want to run away?
My ordeal of bitter cold has only just begun. If I don't max out my resistance to bitter cold, you're not letting me out? You're not going to let me out!
Because normally speaking, this Cold Realm is truly a blessed land bestowed by heaven and earth, with the ultimate, supreme, and ultimate vast cold energy! This is obviously all for me, a young man.

It's not so easy to get it outside.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

Wang Wu moved silently, learning about the situation inside the Frost Realm while also constantly ruminating on the Cangming Frost Qi he had previously devoured.

This rumination currently has two effects: one is to transfer the Cangming Cold Qi to the first sequence to increase resistance to bitter cold.

One method is to slowly infuse the Creation Ice Spirit Pill into it, cultivating it into one's own power.

It involves a two-pronged approach.

Of course, Wang Wu absolutely, absolutely will not absorb the Cangming Cold Qi from outside, not even a single wisp. As long as he absorbs it, there is a high chance that he will alarm the God of Cold. He must wait for the right moment to exploit the bug and enter the blind spot of the regulatory rules before he can do so.

In short, he's not in a hurry.

He then truly drifted and wandered through the Frost Realm like a ghost, because there was actually nowhere for him to hide in the Frost Realm.

He's like a louse on a person; he's never safe no matter where he stays.

For a person, what part of their body is a blind spot?

Absorbing even a trace of the vast ocean's energy is like biting someone.

The safest way is to walk lightly and almost without leaving a trace.

Of course, this is also due to Wang Wu's passive abilities of Concealment and Forgetfulness. The former is currently at level 27, which is the limit, while the latter has been passively upgraded to level 21.

In a sense, this is already very strong.

As it turned out, Wang Wu's strategy was quite effective. He wandered the Frost Realm for a full fifty years without incident. During this extended period, he also digested the Supreme Ultimate Azure Frost Qi that he had previously collected and devoured.

In the first sequence, he increased his resistance to bitter cold to 1000 points.

This can be considered as the initial establishment of a bridgehead against the Cangming Cold Qi, which can buy you three seconds to buffer even when facing a level 36 Cangming Cold Qi.

In the third sequence, he listed the Creation Ice Spirit Pill separately and cultivated it with the Azure Sea Cold Qi, eventually successfully cultivating two divine abilities, one offensive and one defensive.

He named it Cangming Sword Qi, mainly referencing the Three Calamities Sword Qi and simulating the splashing characteristics of the Cangming Cold Qi tide. With the cold qi as the core, it instantly splashes in all directions, theoretically reaching the standard of level 28 Cangming Cold Qi.

Better than nothing.

The other one, which he named the Shield of the Vast Ocean, uses the cold air of the Vast Ocean as a shield to prevent the cold air from eroding and penetrating.

Combined with the first-order resistance to bitter cold, it can buy you about thirty seconds when facing level 36 Cangming Cold Qi.

Thirty seconds was enough for him to escape the pursuit range of the Cangming Frost.

If he had been prepared like this last time, he would never have fallen into the Cold Realm.

At this moment, Wang Wu calculated the time and estimated that the Cold God should be awakening soon, because the Major Cold and Minor Cold solar terms would erupt once every fifty years.

Sure enough, he saw men, women, and children from the Cold Realm, with their families, gathering from all directions like pilgrims, converging on that continuous mountain range.

Previously, Wang Wu thought it was the true form of the Cold God, but now it seems that it is clearly the Cold God's tongue.

Once the Cangming people arrived at the mountain, they would stand in dense rows, chanting ancient incantations. Gradually, without exception, they would all turn into ice and merge with the mountain.

At this point, there was not a single Cangming Clan member left in the Frost Realm. The terrifying Cangming Frost Qi surged forth, first raging and sweeping through the interior of the Frost Realm before finally gathering in one place and roaring out...

As for Wang Wu, without saying a word, he began to nest dolls, turning himself back into a speck of dust, which was swept out by the cold air of the vast ocean.

He was out of the Frost Realm in an instant, but that did not mean he could escape. In such a terrifying tide of Cangming Frost Qi, any struggle would be immediately detected by the Frost God, who would then launch a targeted attack.

But Wang Wu never considered escaping.

He drifted along in the vast, frigid tide, letting the frigid air penetrate and freeze him, eventually turning him into a tiny, insignificant dust crystal. Then he wandered aimlessly, like an asteroid captured by the sun, unable to escape the shackles of the frigid tide no matter how he drifted.

After some time, the icy aura of the Azure Sea reversed, sweeping him and the other plundered spoils back to the Frosty Realm, and a new round began.

But the process is exactly the same.

Wang Wu calmly nested 120 nested dolls in one go, then they went through selection and appraisal, were exposed to the supreme ultimate Cangming cold air, and finally were put into the alchemy furnace.

At that very moment, Wang Wu unleashed his full power, devouring everything at full speed. This time, his devouring ability was even stronger. In the previous round, he had only devoured forty layers of cold energy, but this time, he had devoured sixty layers in just one hour.

"Fellow Daoist, you truly trust me! Please, fellow Daoist, save my life!"

As the alchemy furnace began refining the Longevity Elixir, the giant worm appeared and immediately spotted Wang Wu, which pleased it greatly.

"How to save?"

Wang Wu asked a question, feeling that he still needed to give the big bug some hope, lest it give up and do something reckless.

"This matter is complicated, and it is difficult to act at the moment. However, once the elixir is refined, please be sure to leave it behind. I know that you are trying to collect the bitter cold calamity. I have the cold marrow collected over countless years, all of the highest quality. I will give it all to you now!"

"In any case, please believe me this time, fellow Daoist..."

I don't believe you, you idiot!
Taking advantage of the completion of the Longevity Elixir, Wang Wu slipped away, trusting only himself.

However, the giant worm seemed to have guessed his actions and left another miniature talisman on him.

“Fellow Daoist, it’s alright. Time will prove everything I’ve said. I’ve been imprisoned for countless years, so a little more time won’t make a difference. I can wait for you, ten thousand years, a million years, it doesn’t matter.”

"One day you will believe me."

Grass!
