Old Lady Is Invincible—What Do I Need You to Teach Me?

The eastern sky brightened, and the sun was already high in the sky!

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Butterfly Flower Stamen opened, golden Spiritual Energy slowly flowing out from it as it remained open for a long while.

The air condensed into crystalline droplets that covered Qian Renxue's Butterfly Wings.

After a night of cultivation, both had gained something.

Shen Tianyu successfully condensed the eighth Golden Pattern on his Golden Core.

Qian Renxue, meanwhile, had also completed Foundation Establishment.

"Little Xue, congratulations on reaching Foundation Establishment! From now on, you'll be able to fight an ordinary Titled Douluo!"

Shen Tianyu congratulated her with a smile as Qian Renxue calmed her emotions.

She struggled to suppress the Butterfly Flower Stamen, stopping the golden Spiritual Energy from continuing to leak out.

Before long, she successfully closed the Butterfly Flower Stamen and drew the Spiritual Energy back into her body.

"Don't let me see you again!"

Her Six-Winged Angel martial soul appeared. Her sacred Angel Wings beat as she flew straight away.

Shen Tianyu did not stop her. His hands rapidly formed seals.

"Go!"

A silver mark swiftly followed after her, entering Qian Renxue's body from behind.

"Mm..."

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and Qian Renxue looked back.

"If you're in danger next time, just activate it!"

"I DON'T NEED IT!!!"

Her furious voice echoed as she flapped her wings and departed.

After resting briefly, Shen Tianyu straightened his robes.

He descended into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and took a stroll through it, gathering all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that had not been taken away before immediately entering cultivation.

An hour later, an explosion rang out from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The richest sect in the world, glorious for many years, was reduced to ruins.

Shen Tianyu turned into a streak of light and headed straight for the Extreme North.

He traveled and paused along the way, hearing quite a few startling pieces of news.

After Qian Renxue returned to Heaven Dou City, she immediately ascended the throne as emperor under the identity of Xue Qinghe.

She declared that the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng, had colluded with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to seize power and usurp the throne, sparking a battle within the imperial family.

Fortunately, Spirit Hall had helped suppress the internal turmoil, and she lavishly rewarded Spirit Hall.

At the same time, remnants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were wanted throughout the Heaven Dou Empire.

For a time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, once held in high regard within the Heaven Dou Empire, became a rat crossing the street, despised by all.

Shen Tianyu merely took note of the changing situation and had little interest in it.

Three days later, he successfully arrived at the Extreme North.

A cold wind brushed his face as heavy snow drifted through the air.

In such frigid temperatures, ordinary people simply could not survive.

But naturally, this posed no difficulty for Shen Tianyu.

After entering the Extreme North, he boldly pressed onward and soon passed through the outer region.

"Spirit Beasts in the Extreme North really are rare!"

Shen Tianyu swept his gaze across the land below and muttered to himself.

Along the way, he had killed fewer than twenty Spirit Beasts.

If this had been the Star Dou Great Forest, there would have been hundreds, if not a thousand.

"I've entered the Core Zone!"

His eyes narrowed slightly as Spiritual Energy gathered and surged downward.

It passed through the snow-white layers and reached deep beneath the Extreme North.

The most famous treasure of the Extreme North was undoubtedly the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

Shen Tianyu remembered clearly that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, that giant bug, had relied on the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow to become a million-year Spirit Beast.

Such supreme Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures naturally deserved a thorough search.

Through his Spiritual Energy perception, the underground snowfields appeared clearly in his mind. Shen Tianyu immediately began a carpet search.

The Extreme North was vast and boundless. Over countless years, no one had ever reached its end.

The Core Zone alone was enough to keep Shen Tianyu searching for quite some time.

"Damn, this is hard to find!"

After searching for a full day and night and venturing a Thousand Miles into the Core Zone, he still had not found any Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

"Could that giant bug have eaten it all?"

Shen Tianyu quickly dismissed the thought.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spent most of its time sleeping after it had eaten its fill, with each nap lasting at least ten thousand years.

If all the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow had truly been consumed, Snow Empress would have noticed something was wrong long ago and found that giant bug to cripple it!

After all, most Spirit Beasts in the Extreme North possessed ice attributes.

To them, the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow was a supreme treasure.

Powerful ice-attributed Spirit Beasts would certainly control a patch of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow for their own cultivation.

With that thought, Shen Tianyu roused himself and continued searching.

Just as he had expected, half a day later, he successfully detected Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

Landing on the snow, Shen Tianyu raised his Right Hand as Spiritual Energy gathered madly.

His hand slashed into the snow, sending great sheets of snow flying.

Violent Spiritual Energy surged downward, forcefully splitting apart the thick frozen earth.

Shen Tianyu leaped down. After falling a Thousand Meters, he dropped into a Crystal Ice World.

The crystalline ice formations came in countless shapes.

A biting chill invaded his bones.

A mass of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow came directly into view.

"Found you!"

He leaped onto the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow and activated the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art.

Pure essence energy continuously flowed into his Dantian.

The ninth Golden Pattern began to take vague shape.

A large mass of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow was quickly absorbed by Shen Tianyu.

Without hesitation, he immediately released his Spiritual Energy and continued searching for the next piece.

The underground Crystal Ice World was crisscrossed with tunnels, like a massive maze.

Shen Tianyu left Spiritual Energy markers along the way to avoid retracing his steps or taking the wrong paths.

Another full two days passed in the absorption of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

The ninth Golden Pattern had already taken shape, but it was still some distance from perfection.

Sitting cross-legged atop a thirty-foot-long mass of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, Shen Tianyu crazily absorbed the source power within it.

An Ice Jade Scorpion silently appeared in the tunnel behind him.

White-ice and jade-green colors alternated across her body, while cold light flickered from her long scorpion tail.

She was a full meter and a half long, and her pair of front claws each stretched a meter.

As she walked, chill rose from the ground.

Wherever she passed, thick ice was left behind.

A chill ran down Shen Tianyu's back, and he could not help shuddering. He felt as though someone was staring at him from behind.

He withdrew his Spiritual Energy and turned around, meeting the Ice Jade Scorpion's eyes.

"Human, you have some nerve to trespass into This Emperor's territory!"

Shen Tianyu sucked in a breath.

This was no ordinary Ice Jade Scorpion.

This was one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, ranked seventh among the Ten Great Beasts—the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion!

"Ice Empress, right? Since you came to me yourself, I don't need to go looking for you!

Let's get straight to the point. I can teach you the methods of Immortal Cultivation..."

"Shut up!"

Ice Empress roared, cold light flashing from her sharp front claws.

"Old Lady is invincible beneath heaven. What do I need you to teach me?"

Shen Tianyu: ???

Hey! What a fiery temper!

"Little scorpion, you've cultivated for three hundred and eighty thousand years. Do you not know that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people?"

"Spare me your human nonsense. You trespassed into my territory today and stole my Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, so pay for it with your life!

It just so happens that This Emperor hasn't tasted a human in a long time!"

Cold energy erupted, and the temperature plummeted.

Ice spread from beneath Ice Empress's feet and rushed toward him, freezing Shen Tianyu's legs in an instant.

Waving her front claws, Ice Empress slowly approached.

"Little darling, should I start with your heart, or your brain?"

Her right front claw swung down and had just reached Shen Tianyu's chest when a surge of Spiritual Energy swept upward.

"Little scorpion, today Young Master will properly teach you a lesson!"
