After travelling for four days, Mo Wuji stopped. He was attracted by the surrounding coldness. When he got close to the source of the coldness, he realised that it was actually an extreme ice waterfall.
Logically speaking, when the coldness reaches a certain level, it would freeze. The ice waterfall in front of him was clearly not frozen. However, the extreme cold caused Mo Wuji's Half Sage Tempered Physique to shiver involuntarily when he approached it.
Mo Wuji was sure that if an average Heavenly God cultivator entered this extreme ice waterfall, he wouldn't be able to last long without the protection of a magic treasure.
A waterfall like this that wouldn't freeze was basically created by a pure ice-type treasure. Because of the laws, no matter how cold it was, it wouldn't freeze.
Mo Wuji scanned the area with his spiritual will and his figure flashed as he stepped into the extreme ice waterfall.
Naturally, he wouldn't miss out on such a treasure.
The moment he stepped into the extreme ice waterfall, Mo Wuji knew that someone had been here before. There wasn't only one person here. There were at least three people here before him. From the looks of it, the three of them hadn't been here for a long time. They should have gone deeper.
This extreme ice waterfall was like a water curtain cave. The cave extended deeper. The ice-type laws within the cave were very strong. Even Mo Wuji's spiritual will was obstructed, causing him to be unable to see clearly.
Mo Wuji decided to conceal his aura and figure. He executed his Wind Escape Technique and entered the cave like a gust of wind.
There were definitely good things here. Naturally, he didn't want to miss out on them.
In less than half an incense's time, Mo Wuji stopped. In front of him was a huge lake. The ice waterfall outside was very powerful but this lake was as calm as a mirror.
There were three people by the lake. What surprised Mo Wuji was that he actually recognised one of them.
Wan Ru, a Nascent God Level 6 woman, was actually able to stand in such an extremely cold place. However, Mo Wuji soon understood why Wan Ru could stand here. Whether it was Wan Ru or the two men beside her, they were all supported by a talisman.
Mo Wuji was considered a Grade 3 Talisman Master. However, he couldn't recognise what talisman it was. From the looks of it, it was at least a Grade 4 god talisman.
Of the two men beside Wan Ru, one was in red robes. His skin was extremely white and he was in the Heavenly God Level 9. The other person was slightly skinny and tall. He wore a green god cultivator robe and was also at Heavenly God Level 9.
Mo Wuji could feel that the dao ripples around that red robed fella were condensed and he seemed to be even stronger than Gai Ji.
According to Gai Ji of Nirvana Learning Academy's ten great Heavenly Gods, Mo Wuji was sure that this red robed fella would at least be in the top five. Well, to be able to follow an extremely beautiful woman like Wan Ru, he naturally wouldn't be too bad.
"Senior Brother Fei, I heard that when the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo leaves the ice lake, the surrounding coldness would increase by multiple folds. Our talismans are only Tier 4, can we withstand it?" The one speaking was the skinny and tall male cultivator.
Judging from his tone, he should be addressing the red-robed man as Senior Brother.
Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat. Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo? Could this lake be the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo?
Even though he had never seen the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo before, he had heard of it twice. The first time was in the inheritance of God Pill King Green Robes and the second time was from Chi Bing.
This was a top grade Unique Treasure. It was rumoured that the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo had no grades. In other words, the lowest grade of this spiritual herb would be a Tier 7 god herb. Only god herbs above Tier 7 were rarely recorded in God Continent.
The Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo had many uses. Condensing a fleshly body with a primordial spirit was only one of the most common uses of the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo.
It was rumoured that the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was the number one treasure for cleansing spiritual roots. Compared to the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo, the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit was the trash of the trash.
Cultivators with ice-type spiritual roots could use the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo at specific times to turn their spiritual roots into stainless spiritual roots.
However, this wasn't the greatest use of the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. The greatest use of the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was purification. If a peak grade Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was worn on one's body, one would be able to disregard all distracting thoughts and purify all the impurities and messy laws within the god spiritual energy.
This was terrifying. Why was Mo Wuji's cultivation speed so much faster than others? Besides his 108 meridians, his Mortal Dao could eliminate all complicated Dao Laws and absorb incomparably pure god spiritual energy. Clearly, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was extremely valuable.
Previously, Mo Wuji thought that experts from Nirvana Learning Academy would definitely come here once since so many resource tablets were thrown here. Now, he started to doubt his conjecture. Even the strongest experts from Nirvana Learning Academy wouldn't disregard the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. They definitely wouldn't leave the peak grade Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo for these disciples who were fighting for resources. From a certain perspective, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was even more valuable than the Breath of Hongmeng.
"It should be possible. According to what I know, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo only appears for a short period of time. Our talisman is a peak Grade 4 Cold Resistance Talisman. Even if the cold energy here doubled, this talisman should be able to defend for half an incense's time. By that time, Big Brother Fei would have already kept the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. "What shocked Mo Wuji was that the person who said this was Wan Ru.
The skinny man nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Fei is ranked number 5 amongst the ten great Heavenly Gods of Nirvana Learning Academy. He wouldn't even need 10 breaths to keep the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo."
Wan Ru's cultivation level had always been stagnant. She was definitely more knowledgeable than them. This was because she loved to read all sorts of jade letters and all sorts of ancient scrolls. Many God Monarch experts and even World God experts would ask Wan Ru about things they didn't understand.
In his heart, Mo Wuji thought to himself: What nonsense.
According to God Pill King Green Robes' introduction, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo grew in the Extreme Ice Lake. Every 48 hours, it would pop its head out and every time it popped out, it would last for 49 breaths. Moreover, when the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo popped its head out, the surrounding cold energy would increase by more than 10 times.
With such cold energy, even a Grade 5 Cold Resistance Talisman wouldn't be able to defend against it, much less a Grade 4 talisman.
In order to keep the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo, one could only do so at the instant it popped its head out. Otherwise, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo would disappear without a trace. As for how the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo disappeared, God Pill King Green Robes had written it down. It was very likely that the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo would automatically disappear from this world. However, it was more likely that the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo had an innate spatial energy which allowed it to escape.
If this Wan Ru wasn't bullsh * tting, she must be scheming something.
Mo Wuji carefully communicated with the Book of Luo. He had a Half Sage physique so he wouldn't be afraid of ordinary cold. If the coldness in this place increased by ten times, then even his body of a half-step Saint would be frozen and cracked.
The red robed man nodded, "Wan Ru is right. When the time comes, I will take the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo away."
Time passed by slowly. Previously, Mo Wuji didn't care about this Wan Ru. Now, half of his attention was placed on Wan Ru. This woman wasn't simple.
Another four hours later, ripples appeared on the calm mirror-like surface of the lake.
Mo Wuji knew that the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was about to appear.
The other three also knew that the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was about to appear as they stared at the surface of the lake. Cultivator Fei was even prepared to charge out.
"Kacha!" Even though it was lake water, the sound of ice breaking could be heard from the surface of the lake.
A sparkling and translucent ice bamboo slowly emerged from the surface of the lake. The leaves of the ice bamboo were like snowflakes from a fairytale as they had six smooth and round petals. The surrounding cold fell rapidly. Even so, it couldn't block out the faint fragrance.
The red robed cultivator was slightly stunned. According to Wan Ru, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo would only last for 10 breaths of time. It should be fully grown the moment it emerges from the lake. At this speed, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo wouldn't be fully grown even after 10 breaths of time.
The surrounding cold rose rapidly. The red robed cultivator heard the cracking sound of his Cold Resistance Talisman as he looked at Wan Ru anxiously.
"Senior Brother Fei, the cold is definitely more than doubled. It's still rising. Let's hurry and leave …" Before the red robed cultivator could say anything, the skinny and tall cultivator cried out anxiously.
Something wasn't right. The red robed cultivator suddenly realised that something was wrong. His figure flashed as he wanted to escape from this place.
But before he could do anything, two killing lights had already locked down the space and shot towards him.
"Kacha!" At the same time, the Cold Resistance Talisman on the red robed cultivator cracked.
"Wan Ru, you …" The red robed cultivator stared at Wan Ru furiously. He didn't expect that the person who attacked him would be this Nascent God Level 6 woman who was usually extremely gentle.
Wan Ru said calmly, "It's your honour to be able to die by my side. You can leave in peace …"
As soon as she finished speaking, the lanky green-robed cultivator was shattered into pieces by her sneak attack and turned into ice shards. He was already at his limit. If Wan Ru didn't sneak attack him, he would still have a chance to escape. Now that Wan Ru had attacked him, how could he still be alive?
"Wan Ru, even if I, Fei Yidao, die, I will drag you, you vicious slut …" The moment the red robed cultivator finished his sentence, his body was also smashed into pieces. However, a red radiance shot out from his smashed body and landed on Wan Ru.
Just as Fei Yidao said, even if he died, he would drag Wan Ru down with him.
It was a pity that he had miscalculated. When his red radiance landed on Wan Ru's body, it only created a red ball of white light. Some talisman on Wan Ru's body seemed to have shattered. Wan Ru didn't explode like Fei Yidao expected. Instead, she closed her eyes and sat on the ground. She seemed to be expelling the cold energy that had invaded her body. At this moment, she didn't even care about the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. Perhaps she didn't need to worry. At most, she would just wait for another 48 hours.
Mo Wuji's heart was filled with shock. This woman was definitely not in the Nascent God Level 6. He was sure that even if they were to fight face to face, Fei Yidao might not be a match for Wan Ru. This woman had concealed herself so deeply. What exactly was she trying to do?
Regardless of what she was trying to do, it had nothing to do with him. While Wan Ru was recovering, Mo Wuji's entire body turned into a gust of wind as he charged towards the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo.
