Ice Maiden (Part One)
"This Nine Beast Forbidden Canon is truly terrifying..." Zhuge Xiang was secretly alarmed upon hearing Mo Lingna's explanation of the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon Codex.
When she first mastered the Bull Demon Fist, without the aid of Magic Artifact, her strength was barely on par with ordinary Cultivator. But when she mastered the Fox Demon Step, she could almost challenge opponents of higher levels.
She has only mastered the third move of the Lion Demon Roar, yet she is already able to entangle the Black Flood Dragon, a half-step Demon Monster. Although the Black Flood Dragon was originally suppressed by Lu Yuling and the General Crab and other powerful figures, this already demonstrates the terrifying power of the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon.
What if she later masters techniques like the Turtle Demon Armor or Eagle Demon Claw? What level of power would she reach then?
The Nine Beast Forbidden Canon requires abandoning all offensive and defensive Magic Artifact and focusing all one's attention on cultivation. With such demanding conditions, the resulting Cultivation Technique is truly formidable. As the saying goes, you can only gain something by giving up something else. It's no wonder that by giving up the assistance of those treasures, one can obtain such powerful strength.
"The Nine Beast Forbidden Canon Scripture is difficult at first but easy later. When I first started practicing it, I only had the Bull Demon Fist, which wasn't very powerful, and I didn't have any movement techniques or anything like that, so it was really difficult," Mo Lingna sighed as she talked about the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon.
Thinking about it, that makes sense. At the beginning, the Bull Demon Fist was only so-so, and with just this one move, Mo Lingna was naturally greatly restricted. The earlier the stage, the more difficult it was for Zhenyue.
For example, the Turtle Demon Armor, which she has not yet fully mastered, is a technique to increase defense. Although she is currently strong, her defensive capabilities are her fatal weakness.
After understanding the characteristics of Mo Lingna's Nine Beast Forbidden Canon, Zhuge Xiang took out the Skill Book of the Savage King True Body and handed it to Mo Lingna. This Cultivation Technique was practically tailor-made for her. "This Cultivation Technique is for you; I believe it will be of great help to you."
Attack, defense, and even HP and recovery speed are calculated as percentages, meaning this Cultivation Technique will benefit Mo Lingna for life. Even without the Turtle Demon Armor, the increased defense from the Savage King True Body should alleviate her current predicament to some extent...
"Husband, you're so good to me..." Seeing Zhuge Xiang give her a Cultivation Technique, Mo Lingna snatched it without even looking at it, her face full of happiness as she said, hugging the Cultivation Technique tightly to her chest, which made her ample bosom form a Human Heart curve, making it hard for Zhuge Xiang to look away.
"My lord, is this a token of our love? I will certainly keep it safe, and I will definitely practice this cultivation Cultivation Technique diligently," Mo Lingna said, her face filled with happiness as she held the Skill Book Savage King True Body. Looking at the way Zhuge Xiang was looking at her, Mo Lingna felt both shy and delighted, and whispered, "Tonight, come to my room and let me serve you, how about it?"
Mo Lingna's shy yet bold words moved Zhuge Xiang. He opened his mouth, about to agree, when suddenly a familiar voice rang out. "Zhuge Xiang, give me the Black Flood Dragon's Dragon Horn. I'll use it to make Boundary Breaking Stone."
On the Asura Warship, besides Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna, who else could be there? Naturally, it was Lu Yuling. Just then, she came up to Zhuge Xiang and reached out to ask for the Black Flood Dragon's Dragon Horn.
"Okay," Zhuge Xiang nodded, then handed the Black Flood Dragon's Dragon Horn to Lu Yuling.
The Dragon Horn can break the Restriction Barrier on Ice Maiden, but it's not as simple as just throwing it over. It needs to be refined into a Boundary Breaking Stone. Lu Yuling had already told Zhuge Xiang about this.
"Hmph..." Mo Lingna sneered inwardly, her good time with Zhuge Xiang interrupted by Lu Yuling again. She glared at Lu Yuling with hostility. However, since Lu Yuling only wanted the Black Flood Dragon's Dragon Horn, Mo Lingna forced herself to remain silent. "Now that you've taken the Dragon Horn, you should leave, right?"
However, Mo Lingna's wishful thinking was destined to fail, because after Lu Yuling obtained the Dragon Horn, she did not leave. Zhuge Xiang was slightly taken aback and was about to ask when Mo Lingna spoke first, saying very rudely, "Hey, Lu Yuling, now that you have the Dragon Horn, why aren't you leaving?"
"Although I know the steps to refine the Boundary Breaking Stone, my cultivation level is currently insufficient, and my ability to refine it is only theoretical. You have reached the Third Layer the True Essence Realm and are Artifact Forger, so you should do it," Lu Yuling said to Zhuge Xiang, ignoring Mo Lingna's hostile words. As she spoke, she handed the Dragon Horn back to Zhuge Xiang.
"Are you ever going to stop? My husband...!" Demanding Dragon Horn was bad enough, but now, he's even demanding that Zhuge Xiang refine the Boundary Breaking Stone. Mo Lingna couldn't accept it and almost jumped up.
"Okay, no problem," Zhuge Xiang nodded in response to Lu Yuling's words.
Zhuge Xiang himself knew that he had neglected many aspects of Forging. Although cultivation was important, several Life Profession were equally important. Equipment and Pill were definitely powerful aids in battle. Moreover, forging equipment and Pill could also increase Experience Points.
Seeing that Zhuge Xiang had agreed, Mo Lingna, despite her great displeasure, could only pout and remain silent.
Refining Boundary Breaking Stone is not actually very difficult; it just requires a certain level of Forging skill. It's like using Ginseng to refine a tonic. Ginseng itself has a powerful tonic effect, and refining the Pill is simply extracting the nourishing essence from the Ginseng.
Just as he was getting his hands on the Origin Returning Furnace, Zhuge Xiang wanted to test its effects. Following Lu Yuling's instructions, Zhuge Xiang activated his True Essence, lit a spiritual fire, and then threw the Black Flood Dragon's Dragon Horn into the furnace...
The quality of a furnace or cauldron is actually like the shoes you wear; you can tell whether they're comfortable or not at a glance.
The Origin Returning Furnace, whether in terms of Flame purification or material protection, is far superior to the One Qi Furnace. Thinking about it, it makes sense; the One Qi Furnace is merely Magic Artifact- level furnace, while the Origin Returning Furnace is Treasure Artifact- level treasure, and Five-Star Treasure Artifact at that. Is there any comparison between them?
Normally, it takes six or seven hours to refine Boundary Breaking Stone. However, Zhuge Xiang used the Origin Returning Furnace, which has a 20% speed-up effect, and successfully refined the Boundary Breaking Stone by midday. At the same time, the process of refining Boundary Breaking Stone was added to Zhuge Xiang's refining abilities.
The Boundary Breaking Stone was a round stone the size of an egg, radiating a slightly warm aura. After it was forged, Zhuge Xiang held it in his hand and looked down at it. Information about the Boundary -Boundary Breaking Stone automatically appeared in Zhuge Xiang's eyes.
Boundary Breaking Stone (Special Consumable): Dragon Clan are treasures from head to toe. This treasure, forged from Dragon Horn, can break most of the Restriction Barrier in the world.
"As expected..." Zhuge Xiang nodded inwardly as he looked at the information on the Boundary Breaking Stone.
After searching high and low without finding it, Zhuge Xiang had initially thought that the Boundary Breaking Stone required assassinating a young Dragon Clan from the East Sea Dragon Palace to refine. However, he unexpectedly obtained it by helping the East Sea Dragon Palace slay a Black Flood Dragon. Moreover, in addition to the Dragon Horn, Zhuge Xiang also preserved the Black Flood Dragon's corpse in his Bag Space.
The Dragon Clan is a treasure trove, and this isn't just a simple saying. Dragon bones, Dragon Blood, dragon tendons, and so on all have their special uses, which Zhuge Xiang will definitely find useful in the future.
The East Sea is vast and boundless, spanning countless billions of miles. Zhuge Xiang had no idea where Ice Maiden was imprisoned within the East Sea. Lu Yuling, relying solely on fragmented Memory and intuition, flew towards the place where Ice Maiden was imprisoned. Half a month passed in this flight...
For the past two weeks, Zhuge Xiang has had nothing to do. With the Origin Returning Furnace, he has been busy researching Forging and Alchemy every day. Although his cultivation has not broken through, he is getting closer and closer to the Fourth Layer of the True Essence Realm. Moreover, when his Life Profession are boring, Zhuge Xiang will also use the Gate of Rakshasa to enter the Asura Path to hone his combat skills.
The Asura Path — Zhuge Xiang actually possessed the method to enter the Asura Path. At first, Mo Lingna was also very shocked, but then a look of pride appeared on her face.
Zhuge Xiang is her husband. The stronger Zhuge Xiang is, the happier she is. When he killed the Black Flood Dragon, the strength Zhuge Xiang showed already made Mo Lingna proud.
The Asura Path is one of the Three Realms and Six Paths and the foundation of the Asura Sect. Originally, Zhuge Xiang would not reveal it to outsiders, but in the end, he and Mo Lingna were husband and wife. In addition, Mo Lingna's Nine Beast Forbidden Canon was a genuine combat Cultivation Technique. Therefore, the two often went into the Asura Path together for training, and they honed their combat skills to a considerable degree.
For the past two weeks, he has spent his time on Life Profession, and fighting, but his days have been fulfilling. He has been working with Mo Lingna for half a month, and their teamwork in battle has become better and better. Moreover, in the past two weeks, Zhuge Xiang has also been able to feel Mo Lingna's strength, which is indeed very strong.
The Nine Beast Forbidden Canon is truly an unparalleled Cultivation Technique, in no way inferior to his own Demon Luo Scripture. Zhuge Xiang's cultivation is at the True Essence Realm. He is confident that he can fight against ordinary Cultivator who are one or even two minor realms higher than him. However, Mo Lingna's cultivation is only one minor realm higher than Zhuge Xiang's, yet Zhuge Xiang at a loss.
If it weren't nighttime, without the Night Emblem's enhancement, Zhuge Xiang would be no match for her. Moreover, after half a month of fighting, Mo Lingna found that her Lion Demon Roar had become increasingly proficient, and it seemed that she had also gained some understanding of the Turtle Demon Armor. Compared to successfully cultivating the Turtle Demon Armor, Mo Lingna's cultivation would experience another qualitative leap.
On this day, Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna emerged from Gate of Rakshasa. After a fierce battle, both of them were exhausted, but in the midst of the fight, their auras had become even more refined.
"You two get ready, I can sense we've arrived at our destination," Lu Yuling's voice rang out just as Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna were preparing to sit down and meditate. (To be continued...)
