The Frigid Ice Water Spirit didn't need to be said. She was formed from the Ten Thousand Miles Black Ice Sea, and her magic power was very strong. After being carefully trained by Little Tea, who was formed from the Dao Comprehending Tea, her cultivation level had also increased. Finally, she could fully display her own power.
Especially since Ling Xiaozi liked her very much. He even refined Ao Qing's body into an immortal weapon, the Black Tortoise Shield, and gave it to her. The Black Tortoise was also of the water attribute, so the immortal weapon refined was naturally the same. This made the Icy Water Spirit particularly handy. Ling Xiaozi estimated that the current Icy Water Spirit, together with the Black Tortoise Shield, which could be called a genuine immortal weapon, should not be inferior to a third stage individual immortal.
As for the Ice and Fire Twin Lotus, it was even more amazing. Their starting point was high and they were both immortal herbs from the Immortal World. In addition, they had elementary spiritual intelligence and knew how to cultivate. After hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation, they had reached the peak of the Mahayana Realm in one fell swoop.
In fact, the reason why they were only at the peak of the Mahayana Realm was that they had not had the chance to pass the tribulation yet. As long as they walked out of this space, their majestic immortal qi would probably immediately attract the heavenly tribulation. Once they succeeded in passing the tribulation, they would be immortals.
But even so, their true battle prowess was still quite frightening, and they were not the least bit afraid of the Ice and Water Spirits. Especially after the two of them had learned some of the Immortal World's Water and Fire Immortal Arts from Ling Xiaozi, and coupled with their own Ice and Fire Attributes, they had become abnormally powerful. When they joined hands, even Ling Xiaozi had to retreat, and did not dare to face them head-on.
It was a pity that they could not go out and could only display their power in the natal space. Because once they went out, they would be struck by the heavenly tribulation. If they failed, they would die. Obviously, Song Zhong could not bear to let them die, so he only let them stay in the natal space to extract spiritual qi and create immortal qi in large quantities to improve the quality of the entire natal space.
Next were the spirits of the vegetation. Because Lian Bai, who was transformed from the Soul Devouring Ghost Eye Lotus, had also swallowed a part of Ao Qing's soul, his strength had increased again. Now, he was already an expert in the late stage of the Void Refinement realm. The others, such as Lian Qing, had also improved.
The only thing worth despising was Little Tea, who was transformed from the Dao Comprehension Tea. A hundred years had passed, but her strength had not improved at all. She was still in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It couldn't be helped. This fellow was simply too lazy. He only knew how to play all day and didn't even practice. If he didn't practice, how could he improve?
In the past, when Song Zhong was in charge of her, she still knew how to practice. But after Song Zhong went into seclusion, she was no longer under his control. After all, everyone needed her help, so no one dared to be too fierce to her. They were all afraid that Xiao Cha would not help them improve their cultivation. Thus, under these circumstances, Xiao Cha created a super record of not advancing in 100 years. This caused SongZhong to be enraged.
Fortunately, Xiao Cha wasn't completely useless. Although she was lazy, under her care, Metal Devourer was trained very well.
Under the double favor of Song Zhong and Xiao Cha, Metal Devourer only did one thing all these years, and that was to eat. No matter how expensive it was, as long as it liked it, it would eat it.
With the support of Song Zhong's terrifying financial resources, Metal Devourer Cub ate several mountains of gold in more than a hundred years. As a result, Metal Devourer evolved all the way until it officially advanced to the eighth level a few years ago.
The eighth level demonic beast, Metal Devourer, was equivalent to a human Void Refinement realm cultivator, but its combat power was much higher.
At this time, Metal Devourer's mustache was more than a hundred feet long and its whole body was shining with golden light as if it was made of gold. Therefore, it was also called the Golden Metal Devourer.
Its biggest feature was its big head and mouth. When it opened its mouth at full force, it could bite off a house. Its big teeth, which were specially designed to chew all kinds of things, were its sharpest weapons. Ordinary flying swords and magical treasures, as long as they were made of metal, could be eaten as a feast.
Coupled with its metallic body that was as hard as a Spiritual Treasure, as well as its abnormal recovery ability, this fellow had become an exceptionally powerful existence. Who wouldn't have a headache when faced with an unkillable Metal Devouring Beast?
Apart from that, Song Zhong had also enlightened a batch of high-grade spirit herbs that he had obtained from the Chaotic Peak Ocean. He had also added nearly a hundred flower demons and wood demons of the Spirit Severing Stage, as well as several Void Refinement Stage demon beasts.
The rich and overbearing Song Zhong was not stingy with them at all. He directly gave each of them a spiritual treasure. Even so, Song Zhong still had a surplus of spiritual treasures in stock.
After successfully advancing, Song Zhong was not in a hurry to go out. If he did, he would definitely attract his Void Refinement Stage Lightning Tribulation. Therefore, he first called all of his close female friends to his natal space. After everyone had a meeting, they would talk about other things.
After the few of them met, they naturally had an emotional entanglement. When Song Zhong was in seclusion, Shuijin, Han Bing 'er, and the others were working very hard. Not only did they have to cultivate diligently to keep up with Song Zhong's footsteps, they also had to take care of the entire Ice Spirit City, not letting Song Zhong's efforts go to waste.
Under their meticulous management, even if Song Zhong was not around, the development of the Ice Spirit City did not fall behind. Instead, it became more and more prosperous. Not only did it expand a few times, but it also became more and more famous. It already had a faint taste of being the number one trading city in the cultivation world.
Regarding this, Song Zhong was extremely grateful. After rewarding the ladies, he began to ask them about what had happened in the outside world during these years.
Originally, Song Zhong thought that after the battle with Ling Xiaozi ended, everyone would stop for a while. However, things were far beyond Song Zhong's expectations.
When the demons and humans besieged Ling Xiaozi in the end, several of them were killed by Ling Xiaozi's self-detonation of magical treasures. How could someone who dared to go to the Chaotic Peak Sea to hunt immortals be ordinary people? Which one of them did not have an extremely powerful force behind them?
Now that these forces had lost their people, and they were the most important people in the upper echelons, how could they let this go? Therefore, the Demon Race and the Human Race quarreled over this matter. First, they pushed the blame to each other. Then, everyone stuck to their own version of the story, and no one could convince the other. In the end, it naturally led to a battle, which quickly evolved into a chaotic war that involved the entire Demon Race and the Human Race.
Almost every Spirit Realm where the demons and humans coexisted became a battlefield, and both sides would occasionally attack the Spirit Realm controlled by the other side. In short, both sides were fighting like a pot of porridge, and there were battles everywhere.
Under such circumstances, the Ice Spirit City was unavoidably involved. In the beginning, Shuijin did not blindly choose to support one side. Instead, she wisely chose to be neutral, and did not offend either side.
Although Shuijin and the others were born in the human race, Song Zhong's Flower Demons and Wood Demons were all demons. Moreover, Song Zhong himself was the East Sea Prince of the demons. Even though to the current SongZhong, it was already nothing much.
However, Shuijin and the others all knew that Song Zhong was a person who knew how to repay kindness. When he was chased by humans, it was the East Sea demons who saved him and took him in. They even gave Song Zhong the Golden Dragon Boat, which allowed him to escape danger several times. Such a huge favour was something that SongZhong would never forget.
Therefore, Song Zhong would definitely not agree to help the humans attack the demons. That was why Shuijin and the others resisted the pressure from their sect and did not agree to help the humans.
With regards to ShuiJing's choice, the demonic beasts naturally welcomed it. After all, they already knew that SongZhong was a human. If SongZhong were to choose to help his own kind, it would be understandable. However, his side chose to be neutral, and in an instant, there was one less top-grade flying boat to participate in the battle. This made the demons feel much more relaxed.
However, while the demons were satisfied, Shuijin also offended the human cultivators. They coveted the rich resources of the Ice Spirit City, as well as the terrifying battle power of the Ice Spirit Divine Boat. If they could stand on the side of the human cultivators, it would have a huge impact on the entire battle.
For this, the Xuantian Dao Sect and the Xuantian Dao Sect sent many people to persuade Shuijin, the Great Shadow, Han Bing 'er, and the other people in charge. Unfortunately, they were all rejected with the reason that Song Zhong was not around and they did not dare to make a decision on their own.
In the first few decades, the humans and demons had both won and lost. Although the humans were looking forward to the Ice Spirit City, they were not in a rush. However, as time passed, the level of the battle continued to expand. When it came to the Grand Ascension Stage and the tenth rank demon beasts, the demons' strength in this level of battle was revealed.
All of the demon beasts that could reach the tenth rank were extremely talented and possessed the bloodlines of divine beasts. Furthermore, they had cultivated for far longer than human cultivators of the same level, at around a hundred thousand years. As such, after reaching this level, human Grand Ascension Stage cultivators were generally not a match for the tenth rank demon beasts. Only Loose Immortals could barely match them.
However, Loose Immortals could not appear on the battlefield in the mortal realm. Otherwise, they would definitely be punished by the Heavenly Dao. If a super heavenly tribulation were to descend, they would definitely die.
As such, under these circumstances, the human race could only rely on their Grand Ascension Stage cultivators to oppose the 10th-tier demon beasts. However, even though the human Grand Ascension Stage cultivators outnumbered the demon beasts, it was still not enough to close the gap between the two sides. As such, the humans were gradually at a disadvantage. They could only rely on the top-notch flying ships to save the situation and barely remain undefeated.
Under such circumstances, the human cultivators naturally set their sights on the Ice Spirit City. They had all seen the power of the Icy Fiend Divine Boat. If this top-notch flying ship could help the humans, the battle could at least be evened out. If they used it well, they might even gain the upper hand.
It was also because of this that all the super sects sent messengers and representatives to the Ice Spirit City to negotiate with Shuijin.
In order to persuade Shuijin, all the sects made a lot of concessions. The Dark Yin Sect, Thousands Desire Sect, and Thousands Demon Sect even promised that as long as Song Zhong participated in the battle, they would let go of their past hatred. Although they might not really fulfill their promise, at least this statement was enough to prove their sincerity.
