Chapter 383 - Frozen End’s Rudimentary Completion
The
might of a sword strike under ninety percent of Yun Che’s strength was
naturally nothing humble; Xia Qingyue was forced thirty meters of
distance away, and she silently looked at Yun Che who appeared to be in a
slightly sorry state, lacking anything to say. Yun Che put away the
Dragon Fault, flung his arms that were more than halfway numb as if
nothing happened, and spoke without appearing to lose his cool: “I tried
it, this stone is indeed very tough, as expected of the place that
Frozen Cloud Ancestor took a liking to. If this place can be sealed up,
it’ll simply be the safest spot within the entire Blue Wind. Even if the
entire Heavenly Sword Villa came, it’s guaranteed that they wouldn’t be
able to barge in.”
As he finished speaking, Yun Che turned toward
the wall where Frozen End Divine Arts were engraved, extended his hands
and silently channeled Frozen Cloud Arts. As blue light flashed within
his hands, the ice-blue colored words quickly emerged from the green
colored wall.
“I heard that other than Frozen Cloud Ancestor back
then, in these thousand years, only Qingyue my wife could comprehend and
practice Frozen End Divine Arts. This can prove two things; it shows
that Qingyue my wife is very amazing, and also proves that Frozen End
Divine Arts are indeed very mysterious.” Frozen End Divine Arts’
profound formula has already begun to engrave inside his vision: “Let me
take a good look at what it’s made of.”
“Frozen End Divine Arts
—— Main Formula —— Ice, extremity of water, extremity of coldness. All
things under heaven can become ice; water can be frozen into ice, blood
can be frozen into ice, energy can be frozen into ice, the profound can
be frozen into ice. Mountains, hills, and the skies all can be frozen
into ice…”
Frozen End Divine Arts’ profound formula appears to be
simple and frank, yet also seems immensely profound. And looking with a
glance, it didn’t seem like some powerful profound formula at all, and
was instead just an ineffable and superfluous text. At first, Yun Che
only wanted to simply take a look at this mysterious Frozen End profound
art; but after the profound formula entered his eyes, entered his
heart, and entered his soul, his entire person actually had already
unwittingly been immersed within. His expression, also became
increasingly tranquil and blank. Afterwards, when he was completely sunk
within it, even his six senses were unconsciously shut off, as he even
forgot about Xia Qingyue who was beside him.
Frozen End Divine
Arts’ profound formula entered his heart through his eyes; within Yun
Che’s world of consciousness, there seemed to be a voice slowly reading
the Frozen End Divine Arts’ profound formula, as he firmly engraved this
voice into his mind. Gradually, he felt the water-attributed Heretic
God’s Seed that had been silent most of the time suddenly become active,
as if it smelled some kind of presence it thirsted for.
Yun Che
still had a leisurely expression one moment before, yet in the next
moment, he suddenly entered a state of vacancy while looking at the
wall. Surprised in her heart, Xia Qingyue did not utter any sound to
disturb Yun Che, as a deep expression of astonishment condensed on her
face… Frozen End Divine Arts’ profound formula was incomparably
abstruse; it embodied the most fundamental, most comprehensive, yet
toughest to thoroughly grasp laws regarding the energy of ice. When
Frozen Cloud disciples made contact with it for the first time, facing
this pile of profound formula, the only feeling they had was that it was
“unintelligible”. In order to comprehend the Frozen End Divine Arts,
Xia Qingyue did not spare to stay several months under the fourth layer
of ice hell. Only by submerging herself inside profound ice, did she
finally comprehend the ice attribute energy’s core natural laws in a
gradual fashion, and successfully cultivate the Frozen End Divine Arts.
Yun
Che had only made contact with it for the first time, and what he
ordinarily used was nevertheless fire attributed profound energy
conflicting with ice attribute; he actually entered the comprehension
state just like that!?
The water attribute Heretic God’s Seed
faintly cried in excitement within Yun Che’s profound veins, and slowly
began to whirl. And at this time, a stretch of circular shaped fog of
ice suddenly condensed surrounding him, then dispersed out like ripples,
carrying up a wave of unhurried chilly wind. Very quickly, the second
ball of ice fog condensed once again around Yun Che, but this time, the
ice fog did not disperse for a long time. Gradually, as a hint of blue
light flashed, an ice spirit suddenly appeared within the ice fog, and
started to flutter around Yun Che’s body as if it was alive.
Xia
Qingyue’s pink lips slightly opened, as her charming eyes shone with a
glint of disbelief. This ice spirit wasn’t an ordinary ice crystal
condensed by the Frozen Cloud Arts’ cold energy, but the spirit of ice
formed when Frozen End Divine Arts’ first stage is completely mastered!
And from when Yun Che started to comprehend the Frozen End Divine Arts, not even a mere hour had passed!
A
supreme Ice Attributed Profound Art that no one in the Frozen Cloud
Immortal Palace was able to comprehend within these thousand years, and
even required several months to thoroughly comprehend even with Xia
Qingyue’s comprehensive abilities, Yun Che had actually only used less
than an hour to directly complete the elementary stage!
Xia
Qingyue’s eyes stared at Yun Che in a daze. She wondered just how many
more inexplicable secrets there were on this man who was her husband in
name only.
Actually, in terms of comprehensive ability, though Yun Che’s was definitely high, it wouldn’t surpass Xia Qingyue’s.
However, there was the Heretic God’s Seed of water in Yun Che’s body.
Ice
was one of the forms of water. In order to comprehend Frozen End Divine
Arts, one first needed to reach an extremely high level of
understanding toward the natural laws of ice. And Yun Che who possessed
the water attribute Heretic God’s Seed, had complete affinity with the
water element; his understanding of the laws of ice, had reached the
most extreme limit as well. As such, the threshold and hindrance of
cultivating Frozen End Divine Arts, was simply nonexistent for Yun Che!
At
the same time, the speed of total comprehension of a profound formula
and imprinting it into the soul, also had a most direct relationship
with one’s soul power. Yun Che possessed the Dragon God’s soul in his
body, and even though he couldn’t display too abnormal of a soul power
because of the restriction of his profound strength, it was definitely
not at a level that ordinary people could compare to. With the existence
of the Dragon God’s Soul, it can be said without the slightest
exaggeration, that it would be nearly impossible to find any profound
formula that Yun Che couldn’t comprehend and handle within the entire
Blue Wind.
Another hour passed, the ice spirits surrounding Yun
Che gradually increased in numbers. From one, to a dozen, then to
several dozens, and hundreds… After imprinting all of the Frozen End
Divine Arts’ profound formula into his mind and soul, Yun Che had also
already closed his eyes. At this moment, his body suddenly emitted a
wave of cold energy that pierced the bones and bored at the soul. At the
same time, lines of silk formed by ice crystals quickly extended
outwards from various spots on his body. Not long after, these ice
crystal silks intertwined around his body, forming into an increasingly
bigger and denser net of ice.
The Yun Che now, had clearly already
entered an oblivious state with all six senses shut off. This kind of
state could be said as the utmost state for comprehension, and
absolutely shouldn’t be disturbed in any way. Xia Qingyue slowly floated
up, and after looking at him for a while, she left without any sound…
Under this kind of extreme comprehension state, one wouldn’t feel the
lapse of time at all, and continuing for several days, or even several
dozens of days couldn’t be more normal. And if it were at an
extraordinarily high level, such a state could even make one unwittingly
immerse themselves for several years, to even several hundred years.
However, the amount of time that Yun Che’s comprehension lasted this time, wasn’t as long as Xia Qingyue had expected.
The
cold moon hid behind the cloud. As the entire Frozen Cloud Immortal
Palace was completely shrouded by a boundless curtain of the night and
sunk into desolateness, Yun Che finally awakened from the comprehension
state.
Bang!!
As his eyes opened, all of the ice crystals
surrounding him burst apart, becoming a field of ice fragments. Yun Che
spread opened his arms, looked left and right at his hands, and only
felt that his entire body was indescribably refreshed and comfortable
from head to toe, as if his body had been completely purified by some
sort of utterly pure and clean thing.
“Tree of Frozen End!”
As
Yun Che uttered a light chant, two little trees of ice crystals quickly
grew on his two palms, unfolding lush branches and leaves of ice.
“Frozen End Illusory Mirror!”
Ding!!
As
Yun Che’s two hands opened, an almost completely transparent
ball-shaped barrier completely enveloped Yun Che within. Instantly, the
cold energy and presence coming from Yun Che was almost entirely
isolated, his voice was more so entirely covered. This profound art of
concealment, was an unknown times stronger than the ‘Frozen Cloud
Barrier” conjured from Frozen Cloud Arts. If the ‘Frozen End Illusory
Mirror’ was opened, Yun Che believed that even someone two entire realms
above him, under deliberate searching, would still have great
difficulty discovering his hiding location even within a
three-hundred-meter area.
Yun Che stopped the Frozen End Illusory
Mirror, and muttered in a low voice: “Reaching the fourth stage in one
breath, these Frozen End Divine Arts don’t seem to be that difficult
either… It really is too much easier when compared to breaking through
the Star God’s Broken Shadow and the Great Way of the Buddha.”
Not
to mention other people of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, even if the
Frozen Cloud Ancestor heard these words of Yun Che’s, she would probably
spray his face with a mouthful of blood from anger… Heretic God’s Seed,
and Dragon God’s Soul, with various cheats that didn’t belong to this
plane on him, he actually had the nerve to say these words!
Xia
Qingyue was already no longer beside him. Yun Che walked out by himself
and exited the underground, and only then did he discover that it was
already nighttime. Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace at nighttime was
excessively quiet, and not a single person could be seen within view.
Even
though the moonlight was mostly obstructed by the thin cloud that
wouldn’t disperse all year round, with the reflecting light of the white
snow on land, the lighting wasn’t that dim either. Yun Che instantly
somewhat regretted that he didn’t ask for the directions to Xia
Qingyue’s room during daytime. Otherwise… what a perfect opportunity
this was!!
Other than him, there were only females within Frozen
Cloud Immortal Palace. Since it was nighttime, it seemed unsuitable for
him to go find anyone other than Xia Qingyue. Plus that Gong Yuxian
hadn’t declared him to be a Frozen Cloud disciple, even running into a
Frozen Cloud disciple head-on would probably instigate chaos… Shouting
Xia Qingyue’s name where he stood? That seemed to be even more out of
the question.
What should I do now? Don’t tell me that I’ll have to wait right here, until Qingyue my wife voluntarily comes to look for me?
Yun
Che stood where he was at, and didn’t move for a long time. If this
were some other place, even if it were one of the Four Great Sacred
Grounds, he would dare to casually stroll for a bit. But this place just
happened to be all women… It really wasn’t easy to move in the middle
of the night!
Oh well… Let’s return to the Frozen End Divine Hall.
Yun
Che thought grudgingly, turned around and was about to return to the
underground. As he just took a step forward, his ear suddenly twitched…
To his right, female voices could vaguely be heard. He hastily
concentrated his hearing to listen carefully… That was indeed the voice
of females, and didn’t seem to be just one person. The distance to him,
was probably only two or three thousand feet away.
And one of the voices… seemed to belong to Chu Yueli!
If
he could find Chu Yueli, then what happens next would naturally be much
easier to manage. Without even thinking about it, Yun Che quickly
walked toward the origin of the voice… As he neared, the sound beside
his ears also became more and more clear.
“Yueli, is there still no news on Senior Sister Yuechan?”
“No,
Big Sister may be worried about the child’s safety, and went hermit in a
place cut off from the rest of the world. She may even have left Blue
Wind Empire… Sigh, I’m really worried about her.”
Another voice as
gentle as water spoke: “Don’t worry, Senior Sister Yuechan’s profound
strength is as great as Emperor Profound. Even though she no longer has
profound arts, protecting herself absolutely isn’t a problem.”
“I
still can’t understand, why would Senior Sister Yuechan do such a thing
with that person called Yun Che? Really… How incomprehensible.” This was
a very lively voice, and seemed to have come from a young lady’s mouth.
“Mhm,
it really isn’t understandable at all… Speaking of which, is that Yun
Che really so amazing? Grand Palace Mistress had always wanted to see
him, but why is that? Does Senior Sister Yueli know?” This voice was
almost exactly the same as the previous voice. If there weren’t a slight
difference in the tone, it could easily be thought to have come from a
single person’s mouth.
Yun Che walked closer and closer. He didn’t
deliberately hide his presence, and was naturally quickly discovered by
these women. Very soon, their voices started to point toward him… Only,
he had just finished practicing Frozen End Divine Arts, and his entire
body was radiating with cold energy. Furthermore, he was implanted with
“Frozen Cloud Soul Crystal”, so anyone who were similarly people of the
Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace would immediately be able to detect it, and
would naturally believe that he was a certain Frozen Cloud Immortal
Palace’s disciple...
And they definitely wouldn’t have thought, that it would be a man who was walking closer to them.
“Someone’s coming toward here. Eh? This presence… seems to be a little unfamiliar.”
“This
presence, seems to be the Frozen End Divine Arts’ presence. That’s not
right, this profound energy presence is clearly only at the seventh
level of the Earth Profound Realm, it can’t be Qingyue.”
“Everyone, let’s guess, which sister or disciple will it be?”
“I’m guessing Lingxue… No, could it be Surou?”
“It
seems like Luluo… The presence really seems somewhat unfamiliar, could
it be that a certain sister or disciple is deliberately hiding her
presence to tease us?”
“Sister on the outside, come in quickly. If you keep on hiding around, we’ll come out and snatch you in, okay.”
Ahead
of Yun Che, was a door of ice that wasn’t tightly shut. Behind the ice
door, the voices of six females disseminated out… Some were clear and
cold, some were gentle, and some were lively and pleasing to the ears.
And the words they spoke afterwards, made Yun Che unable to resist it
more and more. He quickly speculated about the possible attitude they
would show toward him, then took a step forward, and pushed open the ice
door...
He opened his lips, but before he could even manage to
utter the first word, his entire person entirely went rigid there as if
he had been electrocuted...
Before his eyes, was a pool of water
so clear that the bottom could be seen. There was no fog above the pool
of water, so it naturally wasn’t some hot spring. This was the only
natural cold spring that wouldn’t freeze even under the cold of the Snow
Region of Extreme Ice.
Within the cold spring, were six stark
naked bodies of jade akin to have been carved out of ice. Their
appearances were as if drawn by the otherworldly brush, each one having
their own merits, yet were all as beautiful as goddesses, and
picturesquely elegant. Their skin was as if congealed from ice and snow,
fair without any flaws. Pairs of smooth, clean, graceful and slender
charming legs were curled, straightened, gathered together, or raised in
various fashions within the water. Amongst the pairs after pairs of
towering twin peaks, some were like reversely covered jade bowls, some
were as ample as the moon, and some were pressed into a graceful
curvature by arms… Everything was sketching out an enchanting scenery
that could make men’s blood vessels explode in an instant and fish their
soul away from their bodies.
