In the northernmost reaches of the Northern Frontier, beneath an Ice Cliff that had stood for countless ages.
A snow-white wasteland resembling a graveyard stretched out, with thousands of iceberg tombs standing around a crystal palace at its center, as though paying homage.
White tents stood in orderly clusters around those tombs, each topped with a strange round pearl that illuminated the place as brightly as day.
The light these pearls emitted clearly contained rich yin-aspect spiritual energy. Many members of the Snow Demon Clan sat cross-legged on the ground, greedily breathing it in beneath their radiance, their faces utterly entranced.
"Those are the Origin Cores of our ancestors through the ages. Human cultivators call them demon cores, or golden cores."
Xue Xiu led Lin Mo out of the Teleportation Array and pointed at the strange pearls atop the tents, explaining with a smile, "Cultivating here from now on, you'll get twice the results with half the effort."
"With your aptitude, you should reach the sixth tier very soon. You're far better than those two good-for-nothing older brothers of yours!"
Lin Mo gave a bitter inward smile.
This Snow Demon body was merely a second physical body he had conjured. Even if it reached the sixth tier, on par with a human Nascent Soul cultivator, he would have to abandon it sooner or later.
Besides, he did not possess any Yin-Yang Spirit Body at all. His constitution was something so strange that even he could not understand it.
After all, the Jianmu sapling had completely transformed his original body. This so-called "Yin-Yang Spirit Body" had to be some peculiar misunderstanding.
Before he had advanced to the golden core realm, the black-and-white pearl floating in his dantian had corresponded precisely to yin and yang, light and darkness!
