At the end of the cave was a cold pond that was not very big. Lotuses of different colors grew in the pond.
Cold mist rolled on the surface of the cold pond. Between the petals of the lotuses, there were strands of mist that were the same color as the petals.
Every time the lotuses shook slightly, the colored mist between the petals would form a cold wind that would surge out of the cave.
Through Jiang Lanyue's information, Xiao Lingyu knew that the thing that caused the cold was not the lotuses, nor was it the cold wind. It was the roots of the lotuses under the cold pond, which was the lotus stalks.
The cold pond was too cold. Even though Xiao Lingyu's body had transformed twice, he did not dare to go down. Even releasing a chaotic energy barrier was not enough.
Xiao Lingyu knew that he could not stay here for long. The mist between the lotus petals gradually increased. After a certain amount, the mist would turn into cold wind.
He only hesitated for a moment before inviting the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm out. He said, "You can only rely on yourself now. Go down and eat those lotus stalks."
Only a creature of the cold like the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm dared to enter the cold pond.
After the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm came out, it was very satisfied with the environment. It first stretched its snow-white tentacles in satisfaction, then dived into the cold pond.
After about a hundred breaths of time, Xiao Lingyu saw a lotus flower with thorny branches floating on the surface of the cold pond. Xiao Lingyu could guess that the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm had already eaten the lotus stalk.
Not long after, a few more lotuses floated on the surface of the cold pond. The Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm also floated up.
However, the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm had turned into a white cocoon. It was just that its size had more than doubled. Most importantly, the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm used to be spherical in this state. This time, it was very irregular.
In its white cocoon state, the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm flew directly into Xiao Lingyu's body from the surface of the cold pond. It sank into his dantian. Xiao Lingyu could look carefully. From the gaps between the layers of white tentacles, Xiao Lingyu saw a transparent ice crystal.
Before Xiao Lingyu could figure out what the ice crystal was, he first felt that the temperature around him was getting higher and higher. The ice and snow around him was gradually melting.
"Did the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm dig out the Cold Essence here?" Xiao Lingyu said in surprise. Jiang Lanyue had told him before that the most valuable treasure here was the Cold Essence hidden deep under the cold pond. Regardless of whether it was the cold here, the cold pond, or the lotus in the cold pond, they all existed because of the Cold Essence. Without the Cold Essence, this place would be no different from any other place in the Feiyu Continent.
Back then, Jiang Lanyue did not think that Xiao Lingyu had the ability to enter the Great Wind Valley. She also did not think that Xiao Lingyu had the ability to enter the cold pond. Hence, this place was very dangerous. She also did not think that Xiao Lingyu would be able to obtain a powerful ice creature like the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm.
The stem of the lotus could allow the heavily injured Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm to recover quickly. However, the Cold Essence was immortal-grade. In the Cultivation World, it was a priceless treasure to cultivators of the ice system. It could definitely allow the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm's ability to improve.
The Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm was very powerful, but it was very difficult for it to improve every time. Until now, only immortal-grade materials could allow it to continue improving. It had to be said that this was an unexpected surprise.
However, immortal-grade materials were not that easy to digest. Even for a creature like the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm, it would take a very long time to digest such a large piece of Cold Essence. Xiao Lingyu could not wait that long. Hence, he contacted the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm with his mind and reminded it, "Heal your injuries first, then do me a favor. Once this is over, you can digest the Cold Essence."
Although the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm was unwilling, it still agreed. It swallowed the Cold Essence first.
Xiao Lingyu instructed his chaotic nascent soul to transfer the essence blood in his body to feed the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm so that it could recover faster and better.
When the temperature here was no longer so cold, Xiao Lingyu began to empty the water in the cold pond. He stored the lotus flowers and lotus roots into his empty jade boxes, preparing to give them to the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm as snacks in the future.
Not only was the ice and snow in the Great Wind Valley melting rapidly, but the entire northern ice and snow world of the Feiyu Continent was the same. However, because everyone's attention was focused on Nanping Town in the periphery of the Rockfall Desert, not many people noticed the changes here, and no powerful cultivators came to check.
Xiao Lingyu did not waste any time. He rode the Chasing Star and headed towards the Ancient Desolate Forest. As for recovering his power, that could only be done on the way.
* * *
Time quickly reached the last day. It was the last day of the one-month deadline given to Xiao Lingyu by the powerful cultivators who took away Ge Yunfei.
Although Nanping Town was filled with powerful cultivators, it was still very quiet. However, everyone's attention was especially focused today. However, to many cultivators, Xiao Lingyu would probably not come. After all, if it were them, they would definitely take the immortal weapon and leave.
Cultivators had been cultivating for too long, and cultivation was too difficult. Everything in the Cultivation World did not allow them to be sentimental.
In a wing room of one of the few three-story buildings in Nanping Town, Ge Yunfei was sitting on a wooden chair without moving. His expression was very calm.
In Ge Yunfei's opinion, his sworn brother would probably not come. After all, there were too many powerful cultivators here. Even if Xiao Lingyu came, he would not be able to save him. At most, he would die with him.
Ge Yunfei's thoughts were a little conflicted. On one hand, he did not want Xiao Lingyu to come. He did not want Xiao Lingyu to lose his life to save him. On the other hand, he really hoped that Xiao Lingyu cared about him and cared about the oath he made with him …
"Time is almost up. It seems like that brat is not coming." Uncle Luo, who was still wearing a red robe, said with a gloomy expression.
"Haha, you have to be patient. I think that brat will definitely come." The stooped Lady Eighteen shook her head and laughed.
"What if he doesn't come?" Gao Pinger frowned and asked.
This was Lady Eighteen's idea. Previously, only the people in the Cloud Gathering Treasure House knew about the relationship between Xiao Lingyu and Ge Yunfei. Naturally, the Cloud Gathering Treasure House deliberately released the news to create the current situation.
"If that brat doesn't come, we can't expect to find him again. He has a lot of chances to leave through the Teleportation Formation. Of course, it's also possible that he has already flown to the starry sky and doesn't know the situation here. "A cultivator with the cultivation of a Three Tribulation Loose Immortal said helplessly.
"Haha, everyone knows that this is the only chance we can take advantage of. Guarding the Teleportation Formation can't block that brat's way out of the Feiyu Continent. But I believe that kid will definitely come, and it will be today. "Eighteen Madame said confidently.
"I really don't know where your confidence comes from. If this happened to me, I would definitely not come to die. As a matter of fact, that brat hasn't come for so long. There's a ninety percent chance that he won't come. "Another loose devil cultivator said.
"My confidence comes from that brat. He has always lived in a place that values loyalty and friendship. If you don't believe me, just wait and see." Lady Eighteen said indifferently.
"If that brat really doesn't come today, how should we deal with this disciple of the Void Inquiry Immortal Sect?" A Great Ascension Realm expert asked.
"What else can we do? Of course, we'll just kill him." Lady Eighteen said casually.
Hearing this answer, that loose devil cultivator nodded slightly while the other experts frowned immediately.
* Bang! *
Just as they were talking, a loud noise was suddenly heard. The entire small building shook violently.
* Roar! * * Roar! * * Woo! *
Then, loud noises were heard continuously. At the same time, waves of demonic beasts' roars shook heaven and earth.
The expressions of the cultivators who gathered in Southern Plain Town changed abruptly at this time because demonic beasts with cultivation bases above the Body Integration Realm were constantly falling from the sky. When everyone raised their heads to look, their expressions became even more unsightly because there were actually countless small black dots in the sky. Waves of ferocious and powerful qi were falling from the sky at the same time.
Countless demonic beasts fell from the sky like raindrops. After they landed, they began to attack randomly. In an instant, Southern Plain Town was thrown into chaos. Some cultivators who were caught off guard were directly swallowed alive by those demonic beasts. In less than ten breaths of time, there were already hundreds of Tribulation Realm demonic beasts descending. They were ruthless and violent, taking away the lives of more than twenty Tribulation Realm experts at the same time.
What made everyone even more surprised was that there were no less than thirty Great Ascension Realm demonic beasts descending from the sky.
"That brat did come, but he brought us a big surprise." Lady Eighteen said with a wry smile.
"How can he get so many demonic beast experts? Could it be that the Desolate Ancient Forest has already become his kingdom? "Luo Bo said in shock.
"There aren't any powerful rogue demons here. It's absolutely impossible for him to use these demonic beasts to save people." Lady Eighteen said confidently.
"But even these demonic beasts are enough to cause us great damage." A rogue immortal expert said.
"Hehe. The ones who will be damaged aren't us but others. It just so happens that there are too many people here. You can help me kill these demonic beasts so that we have fewer competitors. "Lady Eighteen said with a smile.
"You're not afraid. These demonic beasts can't do anything to you at all. But don't forget that it was our collective attack that made the Void Inquiry Stage hand over Ge Yunfei." The rogue devil expert said.
"Everyone, don't worry. I swear with my soul that I will never take the immortal weapon on that brat. The immortal weapon will belong to you. I only want the other treasure on that brat which originally belonged to me. "Lady Eighteen said in a comforting manner.
"Let's move Ge Yunfei to another place first. Otherwise, when the battle breaks out, that brat might take advantage of the chaos and rescue her." A rogue immortal suggested.
"If we move, experts like us will have to stay here to resist those demonic beasts. It's also possible that we might lose Ge Yunfei." Ping Er said.
