The Ice Water Secret Realm

"Suddenly having Qi Refining cultivation, and then bursting out with peak Foundation Establishment strength..."

Listening to Yin Zhihang's account, Li Zhōujūn pondered in his heart. It seemed this protagonist named Ye Tianming not only had the background of the Kaishan Sect behind him, but also a powerful master.

"Senior, if you are willing to help this junior, just stop those forces behind him. I want to personally kill Ye Tianming!

I estimate that Ye Tianming was able to suddenly erupt with peak Foundation Establishment cultivation that night by using some secret technique, and he probably can't use it anymore. His own cultivation should still be in the Qi Refining realm!"

At this moment, Yin Zhihang said to Li Zhōujūn excitedly.

"Okay," Li Zhōujūn smiled.

Afterward, Yin Zhihang found a mountain cave and went straight in to start consuming the Meridian Reforming Pill.

Li Zhōujūn did not leave. Instead, he stood outside the cave, contemplating that he would probably not be able to return to the Dao Tian Sect for some time.

After all, he had to help Yin Zhihang get revenge. Once he recovered and cultivated the Sunflower True Scripture, it would take at least ten days to half a month.

Thinking this, Li Zhōujūn took out a piece of white paper and wrote a letter: "Your master has something to attend to outside and will return later. Cultivate well on Yunju Mountain. If you have any questions, you can seek out the Murong Mountain Lord for answers."

After finishing, Li Zhōujūn's fingers moved nimbly, folding the white paper into a paper crane. He then left a wisp of his divine sense on it and tossed it into the air. The next moment, the paper crane transformed into a lifelike white crane, spreading its wings and flying towards the Dao Tian Sect.

The paper crane carried his aura, so the disciples of the Dao Tian Sect would not stop it.

Having completed all this, Li Zhōujūn clapped his hands, leaped up, and landed on a tree outside the cave, leisurely taking a nap.

He wasn't afraid of any danger, as he was invincible. No one could defeat him, and no one could break his physical body even with weapons.

Moreover, Li Zhōujūn didn't need to cultivate, because the System would help him cultivate automatically.

The next morning.

Dao Tian Sect.

Yunju Mountain.

Su Nan, the young girl, was practicing the Azure Frost Swordplay in the courtyard.

The next moment, a white crane descended from the sky, transforming back into a paper crane, and landed in Su Nan's small hand.

At the same time, that wisp of Li Zhōujūn's divine sense attached itself to Su Nan.

This divine sense would only be activated when Su Nan encountered danger, thus transforming into a clone of Li Zhōujūn.

This way, Li Zhōujūn would not worry about the little girl's safety.

This was because Li Zhōujūn had asked the System if his clone also possessed the "fifty-fifty" ability.

The System said yes, but the clone could not sustain the ability for too long, dissipating after at most three minutes.

However, three minutes was enough for Li Zhōujūn to pilot a Flying Sword and arrive at the scene.

Meanwhile, Su Nan read Li Zhōujūn's letter. She carefully tucked the letter into her embrace and continued practicing her swordplay.

Just then, a maiden figure walked in.

"Senior Sister Shui?"

Su Nan's small face was taken aback when she saw the person who arrived.

The person was Shui Nianyao, who had apprenticed under the Canglan Mountain Lord.

"Junior Sister Su, the last time we met, it was on Ascension Mountain. I didn't expect that after such a long time, Junior Sister Su would still remember me," Shui Nianyao said with a light laugh.

"Of course, I remember. After all, Senior Sister Shui, you are so beautiful and so outstanding!" Su Nan said sincerely.

"But I'm not as outstanding as you. You actually apprenticed under the youngest Tribulation Stage expert of the Dao Tian Sect. I'm sure you will surpass me in the future," Shui Nianyao said with a wry smile.

After all, no one would have expected that the Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord, who was once a cultivation waste for forty years, would suddenly transform into the youngest Tribulation Stage expert in the entire Qingzhou, and even the Dao Tian Sect.

"Hahaha, Senior Sister Shui, why are you looking for me so suddenly?" Su Nan asked curiously.

To be honest, she also thought she was going to be doomed when she first apprenticed under her master. Who knew her master was actually a powerful figure.

"Indeed, there is something," Shui Nianyao nodded. "Junior Sister Su, you probably know that I am a princess of the Shuiyue Dynasty. In the Shuiyue Dynasty, an Ice Water Secret Realm has appeared. It was left by an ancient great sect and contains countless opportunities. It will open in ten days.

However, only two cultivators who possess an extreme-grade Ice attribute and an extreme-grade Water attribute, or even higher-grade Spiritual Roots, can enter together. Furthermore, the entrants must be female and have Qi Refining cultivation."

"So, Senior Sister, you want me to go to this secret realm with you?" Su Nan asked with a confused expression.

Shui Nianyao smiled and nodded. "That's right. I have an extreme-grade Water attribute Spiritual Root, so I'm one of them. As for the other person with the extreme-grade Ice attribute, it has to be you, Junior Sister. After all, you have a Saint-grade Ice Spirit Root."

Seeing Su Nan hesitate.

Shui Nianyao smiled and said, "Junior Sister, you're wondering why such a good thing would fall into your lap for no reason, aren't you?"

"Mhm," Su Nan nodded in agreement. After all, there was no such thing as pie falling from the sky.

Shui Nianyao chuckled upon seeing this. "Junior Sister, you don't need to think like that. My Shuiyue Dynasty has no one with an extreme-grade Ice Spirit Root. As for those in the Dao Tian Sect with extreme-grade Ice Spirit Roots, they have all reached Foundation Establishment. Only you, Junior Sister, meet the conditions. If you don't go, I won't be able to enter the Ice Water Secret Realm either, so this is me asking you a favor.

Of course, I wouldn't harm you. The sect rules are there: those who harm fellow disciples will be killed without mercy. Moreover, I probably wouldn't dare to offend your master's strength."

"Alright then..."

Seeing that Shui Nianyao had put it that way, Su Nan naturally agreed.

"Senior Sister Shui, when do we depart?" Su Nan asked.

"I've already informed my master. We can depart immediately. The Shuiyue Dynasty's convoy is already staying at You Ran Mountain, which is specially prepared for guests of the sect," Shui Nianyao said.

"Okay, Senior Sister, wait for me a moment," Sū Nán said. She then left a letter on the table in Cloud Dwelling Hall, addressed 'To Master,' before leaving with Shui Nianyao for You Ran Mountain.

Meanwhile.

The scene shifts back to Li Zhōujūn.

An aura of the ninth level of Qi Refining suddenly erupted from the cave, on the verge of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Li Zhōujūn, who had been lying on a tree, slowly opened his eyes and floated down from it.

"Thank you, Senior, for the pill. I can now feel the spiritual energy within me is closer to Foundation Establishment than before. As long as I have time, I will be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

As Li Zhōujūn landed, Yīn Zhìháng emerged from the cave and bowed deeply to him.

Li Zhōujūn looked Yīn Zhìháng up and down, nodded, and chuckled, "Not bad."

"Have you cultivated the Sunflower True Scripture?" Li Zhōujūn asked.

"Please take a look, Senior!"

Upon hearing this, Yīn Zhìháng formed a delicate orchid-like gesture with his fingers and pointed at a nearby rock. The next moment, the rock exploded with a bang, disintegrating into pieces.

"Quite interesting. Cultivate well these few days, stabilize your realm, and familiarize yourself with the techniques. I will then accompany you to the Kaishan Sect," Li Zhōujūn said with a smile.

"Okay!" Yīn Zhìháng replied.

At the same time, Yīn Zhìháng had already mentally acknowledged Li Zhōujūn as his master.

After all, Li Zhōujūn had given him a second life and taught him a powerful technique.

It could be said that although they lacked the formal title of master and disciple, they possessed the reality of it.
