Yan Zhaoge stared at the blue stream of light before him, "I am also unable to ascertain what method my ancestors used. My idea is to use these things."
Saying thus, he took out a fiery red rock, placing it at the centre of the formation he had set up.
That rock flickered, as though it was breathing with life.
Yan Zhaoge said, "When Grand Master and the others counterattacked the Fire Domain, I specially asked them to pay attention to a few things, bringing them back if they could get their hands on them. Of these, the most important is this, a Fire Pith Crystal, a product of the further solidification of the underground Fire Pith Crystal."
"Also, it must be a Fire Pith Crystal produced in the Southern Underground Palace."
Yan Zhaoge continued setting up the formation, "Through this object, along with other methods, we should be able to lock onto the Southern Underground Palace."
Ah Hu helped out by the side, "But, Young Master, wanting to cause a change in the earth veins is not an easy thing ah. With our cultivation bases, even with the help of the formation, we should still not be able to do it, right? After all, this formation is not the Clear Qi Grand Formation that Broad Creed Mountain guards. "
"Should we first set up the frontlines here, then wait for Family Head or the old Clan Chief to come over?"
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge answered, "Father and Grand Master are currently in a standoff with the Sacred Sun Clan's Huang Guanglie and the others, unable to leave easily. Even if they do manage to escape and come to the Extreme Northern Lands, they will also be detected by the other side. At that time, they will either intercept us, or turn to attack our clan's core grounds. That would not be worth it."
"Therefore, I will do this."
Yan Zhaoge laughed, "As for how to do it, just based on my current strength, it is naturally impossible. However, I have an idea that perhaps can be tested. If it succeeds, us two Spirit Vessel Martial Grandmasters will also be able to accomplish something that even Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters might not be able to."
As he said this, Yan Zhaoge suddenly took out an object, a small black incense burner.
It was precisely the Earth Devouring Burner.
Looking at the small incense burner, Ah Hu blinked, "Young Master, I remember that you obtained this from slaying that little ghost called Zhao Hao in the devilish domain at Clear Concealed Lake."
Yan Zhaoge said, "It is still the same now. This treasure is able to absorb all things, bearing an extremely powerful destructive power. The experiment I want to do is to see if it can withstand the terrifying cold power of the Ice Pith Vein."
Ah Hu mumbled, "But, in my memory, you said that you have never been able to freely control this thing."
"That's right. Even now, it's still the same. This treasure can only passively absorb attacks and actively approach it. I can't control it to do anything." Yan Zhaoge said nonchalantly, "Still, there's an old saying that's right. Things are dead, but people are alive. Use your brain."
Yan Zhaoge punched towards the formation on the ground, the strong winds of his fist-intent stimulating the formation as the light of fire instantly surged from it.
With the formation as the center, a wave of heat spread out in the underground ice cave.
Stimulated by this heat, the originally quiet and seemingly harmless blue stream of light immediately became violent!
An extremely terrifying cold qi that caused one's entire body to numb erupted from the Ice Pith Vein, before numerous streams of ice-blue fog swept over towards the formation that Yan Zhaoge was in, as though wanting to extinguish this small ember.
Ah Hu was dumbfounded. "Young Master …"
Even as Yan Zhaoge stared fixedly at the Earth Devouring Burner, he had already taken out the Underground Splitting Shuttle once more. As long as he saw that the situation was not right, he would immediately pull Ah Hu along and retreat.
However, the Earth Devouring Burner did not disappoint him.
That inconspicuous-looking little black incense burner, as it faced the assault of the ice-blue fog, erupted with a shocking force, absorbing a great amount of the ice fog within.
It resembled a black hole, greedily devouring the roiling ice fog, looking like it would not reject anything that came its way.
As he opened his eyes, he shockingly saw that within the Ice Pith Vein, there were also strands of blue light that were drawn out, merging with the ice fog and being devoured by the Earth Devouring Burner.
Ah Hu was taken aback. "Where exactly did this little thing come from, actually being able to absorb even the Ice Pith Vein. Won't it freeze and crack?"
Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes, similarly gazing at the Earth Devouring Burner as he murmured, "That's right, it is indeed not simple. While I guessed that it should be able to bear it, after really confirming this, I also feel that it is a little inconceivable."
"Still, whatever the case, with this most important step having succeeded, my original plan will already be feasible."
After observing for a while longer and confirming that the Earth Devouring Burner had not reached its limits, Yan Zhaoge felt reassured as he kept the Underground Splitting Shuttle once more.
Ah Hu clicked his tongue in wonder, "Still, Young Master, it is only passively absorbing, and not actively devouring. The power of this scale is still a little small. Can it affect the Ice Pith Vein, thereby affecting the Fire Pith Vein?"
Carefully looking at that blue light, he saw that as it pulsed, it seemed to be communicating unceasingly with other places.
A portion of its power being sucked away by the Earth Devouring Burner seemed harmless as it was very quickly replenished.
Yan Zhaoge said, "There are naturally follow-up methods. It's not that everything will be fine now."
Saying thus, he punched out once more.
With the Earth Devouring Burner bearing the pressure of the ice fog, the formation was able to continue circulating as usual.
Streams of red light surged, coming into contact with the Ice Pith Vein. The four fiery red sabres stabbed within the layer of ice also lit up with a red light at this moment, shining along with it.
The self-adjustment and balance of the Ice Pith Vein was affected, becoming somewhat sluggish.
Like this, the unceasing absorption of the power of the Ice Pith Vein by the Earth Devouring Burner gradually showed results.
It was just that this effect was extremely slow and minute, virtually weak to the point that it was hard to detect.
Yan Zhaoge said, "Moving a thousand catties with little effort is not that easy. What we have to do now is just wait quietly, waiting for sand to form a tower, many a little becoming a mickle, until the moment when a fundamental change finally occurs."
Ah Hu asked, "Young Master, could it be that the Southern Underground Palace over at the Fire Domain will be like the Heavenly Frost Ice Spring of the Snowy Immortal Palace that year?"
Yan Zhaoge looked at the Earth Devouring Burner, "That won't be the case. The scale of the Southern Underground Palace is much greater than that of the Heavenly Frost Ice Spring. Unless the main vein of the Ice Pith Vein can be shaken, it would be impossible for the Southern Underground Palace to be destroyed."
"Therefore, I am not thinking of weakening it, instead wanting it to grow stronger."
Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "It is already not easy for people to enter in the first place. At that time, other than Huang Guanglie, no one else of the Sacred Sun Clan will have to think about entering."
He smiled, "Alright, let us wait here patiently."
Yan Zhaoge guarded the formation. Having nothing else to do, Ah Hu began cultivating earnestly once more, attempting a breakthrough towards a higher level.
Many days passed, the streams of purple qi amidst the black aura-qi around his entire body grew denser and denser.
As time passed, the purple qi finally became extremely vast, then congregated together, condensing into a tiny speck of purple light.
The black storm transformed into an existence that resembled black soil.
That speck of purple light slowly sunk, merging within the black spirit soil.
Ah Hu's entire body shook. As he opened his eyes, there actually seemed to be specks of purple light within them as well, vanishing in an instant.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Congratulations, Ah Hu. The second level of the Martial Grandmaster realm, the mid Spirit Vessel stage, succeeded."
Ah Hu grinned widely as he chuckled, seeming exceptionally happy.
After his happiness, Ah Hu scratched his head, asking, "Young Master, how is the situation of the Ice Pith Vein here?"
The corners of Yan Zhaoge's mouth arched lightly upwards, "You will see very soon."
