Ya Ya Breaks Through to Nascent Soul
Refining Law Power is not easy. Many cultivators have clearly forged High-grade Golden Core and have several Life-bound Magical Treasure to help them, but it is still difficult for Law Power to reach the standard of refining the Heavenly Dao Qi. This is even more difficult for cultivators with Variant Spirit Root.
Even with the help of the Ice-Vein Heaven-Shaping Pill, it still took Ya Ya a full eight years to complete the transformation of her Law Power and reach the standard for refining the Heavenly Dao Qi.
When Ya Ya emerged from seclusion, Chen Nianzhi handed her a Earth Mother Qi and then asked with concern, "How confident are you?"
"Now that my inner demons have been eliminated, I am absolutely certain."
Ya Ya was very confident. This was her second attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul. With her Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm cultivation and the foundation of High-grade Golden Core, breaking through to the Nascent Soul was just a natural progression.
Seeing her confidence, Chen Nianzhi nodded and said, "In that case, I'm relieved."
"You should go into seclusion; I will protect you."
"Good."
Ya Ya stepped into the Seclusion Chamber and began her secluded cultivation to break through to the True Lord realm.
About five months later, vortexes of Spiritual Qi began to converge wildly, and tribulation clouds began to brew.
It's done.
Chen Nianzhi murmured to herself, a hint of joy appearing on her face.
Ya Ya, dressed in a long gown, strolled out through the air. After a brief exchange, she smiled at the Lightning Tribulation in the sky, confidently stating:
"The Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul Tribulation is indeed powerful, but I'm afraid it can't stop me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped into the air and summoned the Spirit Treasure, the Ice-Soul Condensed Jade Pagoda.
This Ice-Soul Condensed Jade Pagoda is Upper-Tier Spirit Treasure, the most prized possession of the Ice Snow Pavilion, possessing the power of suppression and defense.
Once this treasure is fully opened, it possesses the powerful ability to resist all evil and ward off all magic.
With this treasure in hand, coupled with the foundation of the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, Ya Ya only needs to consolidate her cultivation slightly, and her strength will be enough to dominate among Nascent Soul, perhaps even stronger than some Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
Of course, if the opponent possesses powerful Spirit Treasure and Divine Ability abilities, then their cultivation and combat strength will naturally far exceed ordinary levels and cannot be measured by common sense.
Regardless, with the Ice-Soul Condensed Jade Pagoda in hand, Ya Ya easily passed the Lightning Tribulation, which was even easier than Chen Nianchuan's experience back then.
"Good, good, very good."
Although she already knew the outcome, Chen Nianzhi still breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.
Without reaching the Nascent Soul, Ya Ya is ultimately just an ant. After breaking through to the True Lord, Ya Ya's lifespan is three thousand years, and with various life-extending treasures, she can live to be over nine thousand years old.
With such a long lifespan, regardless of whether she can break through to the Primordial Spirit, she will be able to accompany him for a long time in the future, giving him ample time to make preparations.
With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi handed a piece of Ice-Soul Mystic Crystal to Ya Ya and said, "This Ice-Soul Mystic Crystal is a key spiritual material for refining ice-attribute Spirit Treasure. Take it to upgrade your Ice-Soul Cold Light Sword."
"With this treasure in hand, all that's missing for upgrading the Ice-Soul Cold Light Sword is Five Elements Essence."
Ya Ya happily accepted the Ice-Soul Mystic Crystal. Many years ago, she had used the power of the Ancient Desolate Inscription to deduce the Spirit Treasure Chapter of the Ice Soul Ice-Soul Cold Light Sword. With continuous improvement over the past few hundred years, she had finally completed the deduction of the Spirit Treasure Chapter of the Ice-Soul Cold Light Sword.
However, to upgrade Spirit Treasure to the ice attribute, it also requires extremely special Mystic Ice Qi. This Qi is a different kind of Qi outside of the Five Elements Essence. Generally speaking, it is made by refining two kinds of Qi: Ren Water and Yi Wood.
However, refining the Mystic Ice Qi is quite costly. Refining a low-grade Lower-Tier Spirit Treasure requires the Five Elements Essence worth 20 million Spirit Stone, which is more than twice as much as ordinary Five Elements Spirit Treasure.
However, in the Far-Northern Icefields, some underground ice veins can also give rise to Mystic Ice Qi, and the cost of such natural Mystic Ice Qi is quite low.
Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi's expression shifted slightly. In fact, there was also Mystic Ice Qi within the underground ice veins of the Ice Snow Pavilion.
However, collecting that Mystic Ice Qi was too time-consuming and laborious, and it was usually left to lower-level cultivators to handle. Naturally, they had given up on it before.
After a moment's thought, he said, "In the Far-Northern Icefields, ice-attribute Cultivation Resources are the most abundant and cheapest."
"Since we rarely get to come here, we might as well buy up more ice-attribute resources, especially Mystic Ice Qi), which we should stockpile even more of."
Both women nodded in agreement. Jiang Linglong said, "Ya Ya will be cultivating three Natal Divine Ability, which will undoubtedly deplete her Mystic Ice Qi. She should definitely stock up on more."
"Hmm." Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly, then looked at the Spirit Mountain and said, "But before that, we should deal with Cloud-Riding Mountain."
Ya Ya's expression shifted slightly. Their foundation was in the Eastern Wilderness, so it was impossible for them to disperse their power to this remote Far-Northern Icefields. Therefore, they would naturally have to give up their base here as well.
This Cloud-Riding Mountain is at least Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein; it would be a shame to give it up for nothing. We could try to sell it.
However, she quickly shook her head and said helplessly, "They know we're leaving the Far-Northern Icefields, so I doubt they'd be willing to spend money to buy this mountain for nothing."
"We have to give it a try," Chen Nianzhi said, then added, "Tell me about the recent situation of the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan and sects."
Having lived in Heavenly Mountain for over a hundred years, Ya Ya was very familiar with the nearby Nascent Soul Immortal Clan and quickly informed Chen Nianzhi about the situation of the two nearest Nascent Soul forces.
The two most recent Nascent Soul factions are the Nascent Soul Remnant Snow Sect, and the Xu Clan, a Nascent Soul immortal clan.
The Remnant Snow Sect is a powerful Nascent Soul Immortal Sect, with four Nascent Soul True Lord within its ranks, and the sect leader's cultivation level reaching the Sixth Nascent Soul Layer.
This lineage has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. The sect has three Tier 5 Spirit Mountain and even four superior Upper-Tier Spirit Treasure Spirit Treasure that protect the sect. Its strength and foundation are much stronger than that of the Heavenly Hut Sect in the Eastern Wilderness.
The Xu Clan Immortal Clan is far inferior. This lineage has only been promoted to the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan for a thousand years. Although there are two Nascent Soul True Lord in the clan, their cultivation is only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
Moreover, this lineage only occupies one Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein, and its foundation and strength are far inferior to those of the Remnant Snow Sect.
After listening, Chen Nianzhi decided to go find the Xu Clan. He smiled and said, "Let's see if they want this Spirit Vein first."
That afternoon, he rode his immortal sword toward the Xu Clan, and arrived at the Xu Clan doorstep just two days later.
After the visiting card was presented, the two True Lord of the Xu Clan quickly and warmly came out.
Upon seeing Chen Nianzhi, the Xu clan leader sensed his unfathomable nature and quickly smiled, saying:
"I heard that you, fellow Daoist, stormed deep into the Demon Race realm a few years ago, and even the Nascent Soul Late Stage Demon Emperor was helpless against you. Seeing your bearing today, I understand that the rumors were true."
"You flatter me, brother."
Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly, then said directly, "To be honest, I'm here for a business deal."
As he spoke, he informed the two True Lord of the Xu Clan about the situation at Cloud-Riding Mountain.
