Golden and purple light flashed continuously around Li Qiang, and a strong fragrance wafted over – the Spiritual Qi naturally formed from the dissolved Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill.
His hands moved in countless ways, like butterflies fluttering or demons dancing wildly, displaying a myriad of strange and wonderful gestures that were dazzling to behold.
Mo Huaiyuan stared at it for a while and said, "I've never seen such a hand seal before. Brother, have you ever seen one?"
Qi Junsha shook her head and said, "If I had seen it before, I wouldn't be surprised. There are actually spiritual techniques in this realm that I haven't seen before. Sigh, strange... Is this for healing?"
In fact, the spiritual technique Li Qiang used was a method he learned from the Beiye Heavenly Scripture when refining pills. This kind of hand seal has many uses, including helping to Fusion the Divine Pill of Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill.
Others who use the Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill will not see obvious results for at least ten days to half a month, but he can see results in just a few hours.
Mo Huaiyuan said, "Brother, what kind of elixir did he take? It's strange, haven't you noticed? There was hardly any Spiritual Qi here before, but now the Spiritual Qi is so abundant it's unbelievable."
Qi Junsha nodded and said, "I've never seen it before. I was so busy flicking the elixir into his mouth that I didn't even have time to see what it looked like. My disciple does so many unexpected things."
As the incantation changed, Li Qiang's power began to surge uncontrollably.
The effects of the Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill caused Li Qiang to completely lose control of his realm, and he entered the most dangerous Seven Star Heaven realm.
This was entirely due to the power of the divine pill that he entered a new realm, and he even skipped the Six Nether Heaven realm and directly jumped into the first realm of the Seven Star Heaven — the Heart of Extreme Movement realm. Its level of danger was about the same as that of the immortal Qi Zheng who self-destructed at that time.
Even ordinary immortals dare not use the Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill carelessly. Li Qiang made a mistake in his haste and took out the Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill; he originally intended to use the Withered Green Divine Pill.
He had no idea he had taken the wrong medicine. Although the incantation of the Beiye Heavenly Scripture helped to neutralize it, the immense spiritual power of the Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill made it impossible for him to control the increase in his cultivation level. He crossed the Six Nether Heaven in one go, and by the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late to make any changes.
Qi Junsha and Mo Huaiyuan both realized something was wrong. They were once again slammed against the ice wall by the Divine Yi Power emanating from Li Qiang. The two brothers, one on each side, desperately used their immortal swords to resist.
Qi Junsha frowned, his face contorted in a pained expression. He could still speak, though. "Brother, aren't we incredibly shameful? We've been rendered immobile by our disciple! Sigh, he didn't do it on purpose... I... I'm an old man..."
Mo Huaiyuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Stop complaining. Aren't you happy that your disciple's skills are so profound?"
Qi Junsha shook her head and said, "Take a closer look, is he acting normally right now?"
Mo Huaiyuan squinted at Li Qiang and said uneasily, "My God, it seems like he's not in control of himself..."
Li Qiang was now like a rapidly burning flame, his entire body emitting a blinding light, making him almost invisible. The Evolving Incantation Divine Armor spun rapidly, and his distorted face could be vaguely seen in the golden light, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or in pain.
Mo Huaiyuan, sweating profusely, said, "Brother, there's nothing we can do to help him."
Qi Junsha was almost suffocating with rage. He groaned, "We... we no longer have the strength to help him..."
Only now did the effects of the Divine Pill of Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill fully manifest. Amidst the surging golden light, two streams of energy, one black and one white, swirled around Li Qiang.
Mo Huaiyuan said, "Brother, what kind of elixir is this? It's very strange."
Only after the effects of the Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill were fully realized did Li Qiang gradually regain control of his cultivation progress.
He was surprised to find that he had actually stepped into the Seven Star Heaven realm, and he couldn't help but feel a chill from the bottom of his heart. He knew that stepping into a higher realm without control like this would bring few benefits and great harm, but once you step into a realm, you cannot go back. He knew that he was in big trouble.
Li Qiang managed to say, "Big brother, Master, hurry up and cultivate..." After saying that, he once again sank into the realm of Heart of Extreme Movement.
As the spiritual power of the Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill dissipated, Li Qiang tried his best to control it, preventing himself from entering the next level of cultivation.
Since he couldn't regress to his previous realm, he had to control himself and prevent himself from entering a higher realm. Otherwise, he might not even be able to finish this cultivation session and would explode in the Mystic Ice Cavern.
Qi Junsha and Mo Huaiyuan were overwhelmed by the surging Divine Yi Power, and upon hearing this, they immediately began to cultivate.
Because the entire Mystic Ice Cavern was filled with spiritual energy, the two of them immediately noticed the immense benefits as soon as they began cultivating.
The unparalleled spiritual energy was quickly absorbed by the two of them, Li Qiang immediately felt a little more relaxed.
You should know that the spiritual power emitted by the Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill was already too much for him to handle. With Mo Huaiyuan and Qi Junsha helping him absorb it, his pressure was lessened. Otherwise, he might very well have entered the next realm of the Seven Star Heaven, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Li Qiang began to gradually stop his practice. This forced stopping, relying on willpower, caused him immense pain. It was like a person who was starving to death facing a sumptuous feast. He knew that eating and drinking too much would easily lead to overeating and he could only eat a little. However, the rule of this feast was that he had to finish it all. That feeling was truly unbearable.
Mo Huaiyuan and Qi Junsha reaped enormous rewards. They were like guests at a banquet, feasting on what the host couldn't finish.
Fortunately, with the two of them sharing the burden, Li Qiang barely escaped a disaster. From then on, he was always terrified whenever the topic of Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill Crossing-the-Lost Divine Pill came up. This thing was too powerful. If one's strength was insufficient and one rashly took the Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill, its effect would be almost the same as taking poison.
The three of them opened their eyes almost simultaneously.
Qi Junsha and Mo Huaiyuan were overjoyed, as their skills had greatly improved in a short period of time.
Qi Junsha sighed with emotion, "Cultivating immortality is so powerful! Alas, we've cultivated for so long in vain."
Mo Huaiyuan asked, "Brother, what kind of elixir did you just take out? The mere leakage of Spiritual Qi has already benefited us greatly. Have you fully recovered, brother?"
With Mo Huaiyuan's limited understanding, he could no longer discern Li Qiang's cultivation level. Unable to determine whether Li Qiang had fully recovered, he asked a follow-up question out of concern.
Although Li Qiang felt uneasy, he didn't want Mo Huaiyuan to worry, so he pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile, "I just took the wrong pill and suddenly couldn't move, so I couldn't change it. Hehe, this is the Five Assemblies Pill in the Seven Assemblies Pill — the Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill. I didn't expect it to be so powerful."
He wondered to himself, why could Qian Shanyong dare to take the Wuyun Divine Pill, while he couldn't even withstand the Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill?
Little did he know that the Seven Assemblies Pill was called a divine pill because only those who cultivated divinity could unleash its true power; others would not achieve the same effect.
Qi Junsha exclaimed in surprise, "You took the wrong elixir? Oh, you... you're simply... you're..."
Upon hearing Li Qiang's words, Mo Huaiyuan a jolt in his heart. He knew something was wrong. Cultivators must never take pills indiscriminately, as it could at best affect their cultivation, and at worst Qi Deviation.
Unlike Qi Junsha, he didn't make a big fuss, but he was secretly worried. However, he couldn't see anything wrong with Li Qiang for the time being.
Li Qiang had a strange feeling, that he was incredibly energetic. One moment he felt that he could overcome any difficulty, and the next he felt that this was abnormal. In short, he became extremely restless.
Qi Junsha looked at Li Qiang more closely, then shook his head and said, "My good disciple is turning into a monster. Even if he took the wrong medicine, nothing will happen. Hmm... good heavens, brother, look around."
The narrow Mystic Ice Cavern had expanded considerably, forced open by Li Qiang's overflowing Divine Yi Power —a much more difficult feat than breaking it open.
Mo Huaiyuan said, "No wonder I couldn't take it just now. Divine Yi Power is too powerful. Your skills must have improved a lot, right?"
Li Qiang had no way to express his bitterness, but he forced a smile and said, "Https://www. hetushu. com. com has been improved, and improved even more..."
Mo Huaiyuan was taken aback. This was too strange. What did he mean by "only more, not less"?
Li Qiang added, "We have friends waiting outside; we need to get out as soon as possible."
Qi Junsha asked in surprise, "You have friends outside? Who are they?"
Li Qiang said, "There's Qian Shanyong, Xuan Long, Dainan Fengyu, and Chiming. Ah, don't be surprised, Chiming is now cultivating to godhood, just like me. He's no longer some Demon Venerable, hehe, this guy is quite interesting."
Mo Huaiyuan managed to remain calm, but Qi Junsha almost jumped up. He shouted, "No wonder! So Xuan Long went back. Hey, why did he bring you along?"
Mo Huaiyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Qi, even if Xuan Long doesn't go back, I will come. I know his temper best. We two old guys are really embarrassing ourselves. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's figure out how to get out of here."
Qi Junsha's pride was severely wounded. He angrily punched the Xuanbing ice, sending ice shards flying, and said, "Damn it, this old man is feeling more and more pathetic."
Li Qiang said with a smile, "What's there to be ashamed of, old man? As long as you can be reincarnated, nothing else matters."
Qi Junsha shook his head and said, "My dear disciple, don't try to comfort me. It's just that I was ignorant back then and didn't know there were so many experts in this realm. Alas, Loose Immortal is nothing at all."
Mo Huaiyuan advised, "Brother Qi, don't underestimate yourself."
There aren't many people in this world Qi Ingestion Qi Junsha, but Mo Huaiyuan is one of them.
He scratched his head and said, "Brother, I was just venting. I was feeling really down."
Li Qiang shook his head and said, "Even Master is no exception."
Qi Junsha sadly realized that his level of understanding was no longer as high as his disciple's. He glared and said, "What's all this talk about being vulgar? This old man is just not happy!"
Li Qiang chuckled and said, "Of course, of course, hehe."
Qi Junsha rolled her eyes in exasperation, while Mo Huaiyuan burst into laughter.
After a long while, Qi Junsha finally recovered and said helplessly, "Oh well, my good disciple has been naughty."
Li Qiang grinned as he took out the Soul Crossing Liquid that Heavenly Aunt had given him. He held the small golden bottle in mid-air and said, "Big brother, Master, do you recognize this?"
The Soul Crossing Liquid shimmered with a mysterious golden light, slowly rotating in the air. Li Qiang used a wisp of Divine Yi Power to support it, so that Qi Junsha and Mo Huaiyuan could see it clearly.
Qi Junsha examined it carefully. He knew Li Qiang wouldn't have taken this out without a purpose, but he genuinely didn't know what it was for. He turned to Mo Huaiyuan and asked, "Brother, do you recognize this?"
Mo Huaiyuan's expression grew increasingly serious. He stared intently at the small golden bottle for the duration of a meal before finally letting out a long sigh and saying, "I'm not sure... If I'm not mistaken, Brother Qi, this thing is related to our reincarnation."
Li Qiang said, "This is Soul Crossing Liquid. I heard that as long as you use it to invade Divine Sense before reincarnation, you can ensure that your spirit will not perish in the next life. It was given to me by a highly Divine Ability master."
Mo Huaiyuan clapped his hands excitedly and said, "That's right, I remember now, Soul Crossing Liquid Soul Crossing Liquid, yes! That's what it's called... My God, this stuff is extremely rare, I didn't expect it to actually be this, I wasn't even sure before."
Qi Junsha asked in confusion, "How come I've never heard of this?"
Mo Huaiyuan gripped Qi Junsha tightly, excitedly saying, "This is a legendary item, not found in this realm. I've heard it's extremely difficult to refine. Those capable of refining Soul Crossing Liquid are all incredibly powerful experts, but they generally disdain cultivating it. And those who desire Soul Crossing Liquid lack the ability to refine it..."
Mo Huaiyuan was usually very composed, but his obvious joy made Qi Junsha believe that the Soul Crossing Liquid was very helpful for reincarnation.
Li Qiang's heart skipped a beat. Had the Heavenly Aunt sent him the Soul Crossing Liquid beforehand?
Mo Huaiyuan continued, "With the Soul Crossing Liquid, we can ensure that our Divine Sense will not dissipate during reincarnation. With our current knowledge, no matter what we cultivate again, who can compare?"
Qi Junsha suddenly understood Mo Huaiyuan's meaning, and he became excited, saying, "That's right! As long as I organize things and find the most suitable cultivation method, my cultivation speed will definitely be incredibly fast. Our realm and the _book's_ realm are high enough; as long as our internal energy can keep up, that's all that matters."
Li Qiang flicked his wrist, Soul Crossing Liquid flying towards Mo Huaiyuan. He said, " Big Brother Mo, keep this safe. Remember to use it when you reincarnate."
Qi Junsha snatched it away, saying, "Put it here."
Mo Huaiyuan chuckled and said, "Then you can keep it. No one's going to take it from you."
Qi Junsha played with the Soul Crossing Liquid with obvious delight, sighing, "Only my dear disciple could find such strange and wonderful things."
Li Qiang said, "Brother, Master, let me try again. Please be careful and take precautions."
Mo Huaiyuan pulled Qi Junsha aside and said, "Brother Qi, be careful, he's using a divine artifact..."
He felt uneasy. Li Qiang seemed different after this cultivation, his body containing explosive power. He was worried that Li Qiang's artifact would be difficult to control, and he would also have to pay attention to the two of them. So he especially reminded Qi Junsha to be careful.
Li Qiang said no more, and two golden lights flew out, transforming into two golden claws, each as big as a chair. He tried to use the claws to clear a path.
After his power surged, Li Qiang himself was unsure if he could break through the Xuanbing. He tried waving his right hand, and a golden claw flew out, silently sinking into the Xuanbing above.
With a crisp "crack," the ice above their heads shattered.
Li Qiang shouted, "Shatter!"
The black ice was actually shredded into powder by the golden claws, and the powder fell down the ice wall with a soft rustling sound.
Immediately afterwards, the claw of the left hand flew out, and with another crisp sound, a piece of ice the size of an eight-immortal table was also shattered. Gradually, the crisp sounds became more and more frequent, and the fragments of ice fell along the ice wall like quicksand.
Qi Junsha exclaimed in amazement, "Good heavens, my good disciple is far more capable than me! This divine artifact is truly extraordinary!"
Mo Huaiyuan suddenly shouted, "Brother, stop! Stop now!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qiang stopped and asked, " Big Brother Mo, what's wrong?"
Mo Huaiyuan pointed down and said, "If we dig any deeper, we'll be buried alive."
The fragments of ice that have been scooped down from the top are already filling the space of the ice cave.
Li Qiang suddenly realized that because the Xuanbing had been shattered into ice shards, it occupied more space. Before they could dig to the top, the ice cave they were in would be completely filled with the broken ice. Although the three of them wouldn't die, they would be unable to move.
Li Qiang examined the Fire Essence in his chest and found it to be extremely tired. Knowing it was no longer suitable to emerge, he said, "We must find an ice cave; digging upwards like this will make it very difficult to get out."
Mo Huaiyuan nodded, took out a Law Treasure the size of a finger, and breathed a breath of immortal energy into it. The thing immediately turned into a ball of red liquid, rolling in his hand like mercury.
He said, "The ice here is too hard. Let me see if there are any cracks. Chi!"
With his shout, the red liquid transformed into a wisp of red smoke, rising gently. Upon touching the ice wall, it wriggled along the wall like a living thing, leaving a red mark on the left side of the ice wall in no time.
Mo Huaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, dig diagonally over there, look... there seems to be a crack."
Li Qiang laughed and said, " Big Brother Mo is indeed more experienced. Master, could you find a way to compact the ice and create more space? I'll try digging to the side."
Qi Junsha agreed, "Alright, my good disciple, be careful when you dig into the ice cave; there might be some restrictions."
After reminding Li Qiang, he casually pressed down, and with a series of cracking sounds, the ice shards under his feet rapidly receded, quickly widening the distance.
Mo Huaiyuan said, "As long as High Person Mist Star doesn't stop us, it's only a matter of time before we escape. The only thing I'm afraid of is her..."
Qi Junsha said dejectedly, "Brother, don't mention that woman, just thinking about her makes me depressed! She's too terrifying... I hope I never see her again in this lifetime..."
Mo Huaiyuan couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Qi, didn't you hear what I said? She's an ancient immortal, even more powerful than an immortal. What's so embarrassing about us losing? Don't be sad anymore."
Li Qiang conjured two golden claws again, and like an excavator, he dug along the ice wall marked by Mo Huaiyuan. His power suddenly surged, and he became somewhat reckless in his attacks.
After a while, Li Qiang grew impatient and unintentionally twisted his hands. The claws that the Ninefold Evolving Gilt Flowing Jade had conjured also began to rotate, and a series of deafening cracking sounds were heard as he churned the Xuanbing Wall, causing it to split into countless cracks.
Li Qiang was slightly taken aback, but then a surge of joy welled up inside him. He plunged both claws into the ice wall and began to stir it. Instantly, a cracking sound rang out like thunder.
In fact, Li Qiang underestimated his own power. He could have cracked the ice wall with his immortal technique long ago, but he had never been trapped in the Xuanbing (mysterious ice) and did not know how powerful he was. He never even thought of using those abnormally Law Power.
Since Mo Huaiyuan and Qi Junsha were both helpless against Xuanbing, he mistakenly thought that he was also doomed, so he only used some minor Divine Ability.
As the Ninefold Evolving Gilt Flowing Jade stirred, the ice wall trembled violently, and large chunks of the mysterious ice were shattered.
Qi Junsha and Mo Huaiyuan were once again shocked by Li Qiang's ruthless methods. They exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's expressions. Qi Junsha said, "Little monster! My disciple is a little monster."
Mo Huaiyuan said, "It seems he hasn't used his full strength yet."
Qi Junsha shook his head and said, "Didn't he try his best? Forget it, that force was too powerful. If he had tried his best, who knows what would have happened? If the Xuanbing collapsed, we would be in even more trouble."
Li Qiang stirred the ice faster and faster. Suddenly, he felt the Ninefold Evolving Gilt freeze for a moment, and then he sensed something extremely hard inside the ice.
He hurriedly withdrew the Ninefold Evolving Gilt, fearing damage to the divine artifact. He didn't know enough about the Mystic Ice, so he stopped immediately when he encountered something amiss.
Li Qiang said, "There's something very hard inside the Xuanbing (mysterious ice), even my Ninefold Evolving Gilt can't cut it." As he spoke, he parted the broken Xuanbing and quickly found seven or eight dark blue things inside.
Qi Junsha came to Li Qiang's side, picked up one and examined it closely. "What is this thing?"
Mo Huaiyuan also took one, his white eyebrows slightly raised, and said, "This is... this is the Ice Finger of Mystic Ice Heart. This is the first time I've ever seen Mystic Ice Heart. This thing is so rare. Let's look again and see if we can find any. Mystic Ice Heart is only found in the extremely cold Xuanbing layer. It is an excellent material for Instrument Refining cold-natured immortal artifacts. Brother Qi, we can use it to forge an immortal sword."
Qi Junsha found it very strange. "This thing isn't even as cold as Xuanbing."
Mo Huaiyuan said, "Although it doesn't feel as cold to the touch as Xuanbing (mysterious ice), if it were used to cultivate a celestial sword, the released chill would be ten times colder than Xuanbing, extremely powerful, definitely no less than Xuanqi ( Mystic Qi )."
Li Qiang was greatly intrigued upon hearing this. The golden light of the Ninefold Evolving Gilt Flowing Jade, like flowing mercury, seeped into the ice wall that had just cracked. After a moment, he smiled and said, "There's more!"
Li Qiang focused his mind and closed his eyes, carefully manipulating the Ninefold Evolving Gilt Flowing Blade. In a short while, shattered black ice shot out from the edge of the golden light.
With a slight movement of his hands, the Ninefold Evolving Gilt emitted two orbs of blue Blue Light, which leaped into his hands with a wave of his hand.
Those were solidified, hedgehog-like Mystic Ice Heart Mystic Ice Heart, each only as thick as a little finger, densely packed together to form a blue sphere, like a hydrangea, very unique and beautiful.
Li Qiang said, "No wonder I felt the Ninefold Evolving Gilt vibrate just now; it turns out it broke a Mystic Ice Heart. What a pity."
Mo Huaiyuan and Qi Junsha each held a Mystic Ice Heart. Mo Huaiyuan excitedly said, "Good, this is the real Heart of Mystic Ice! Brother Qi, let's each cultivate one. Hehe, the immortal sword made from this thing is a hundred times better than the swords we use now."
Qi Junsha held the Mystic Ice Heart in his hand, examining it repeatedly. After a long while, he said, "The more dangerous the place, the more heavenly materials and earthly treasures you can find. I've always wanted to cultivate a good immortal sword, but unfortunately, I haven't had any good materials. I never expected to find such excellent materials in this desolate place. What a pity... what a pity..."
Li Qiang asked curiously, "Master, what's the pity?"
Qi Junsha said in a low voice, "We will be reincarnated soon. Even if we cultivate a good immortal sword right away, it won't be of much use... It's a pity about this Mystic Ice Heart. If I could cultivate it, I could forge an immortal treasure that can withstand the Heavenly Tribulation."
Mo Huaiyuan laughed and said, "Brother, don't worry about your master. He's overthinking things. Anyway, I need to cultivate well before I reincarnate. After I reincarnate, I won't have any abilities, and I won't be able to cultivate such top-grade treasures anymore. I plan to cultivate this Mystic Ice Heart into a flying sword for cultivators. Once I reincarnate and have Nascent Soul, I can use it immediately."
Qi Junsha understood Mo Huaiyuan's meaning. Both of them were now Loose Immortal, and their abilities and realms were incomparable to those of cultivators in the Cultivation Realm. At this time, they should indeed make preparations first, otherwise they would regret it if they were to be reincarnated empty-handed.
Both of them were proud and arrogant, and would never beg for magical Law Treasure.
Li Qiang nodded and said, "That's right, it's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help. However... with me here, you don't need to ask anyone for help at all. Hehe, I will arrange everything for Master and Big Brother."
Mo Huaiyuan smiled and said, "I know that, but we still need to be prepared."
Mo Huaiyuan and Qi Junsha carefully put away the Mystic Ice Heart, and Li Qiang also collected the blue Mystic Ice Heart fragments he had found earlier. Even if this treasure was broken, it was still an excellent material.
He unleashed the Ninefold Evolving Gilt once more, forcefully breaking through layers of mysterious ice. Finally, he shouted, "There's a void ahead! My Ninefold Evolving Gilt has passed through!"
