A streak of light flashed across the sky, traveling ten thousand meters in the blink of an eye, only stopping after exhausting all of his energy.
"You actually forced me to use a teleportation artifact. Next time we meet, I will cut you down with my sword." Sword Marquis Shan gnashed his teeth, his killing intent soaring to the heavens.
This teleportation artifact was a life-saving treasure given to him by the Sect. It could only be used once and was extremely precious.
The Sect naturally gave him this treasure to save his life. In the event of an irresistible danger, he could quickly escape and save his life.
But he had never imagined that he would use such a life-saving treasure, and it was because of a cultivator from the Sky Pillar Upper Region. Shame, a great shame.
Little did he know that Chen Zong wasn't the only one who felt the same way.
Chen Zong was somewhat regretful that he couldn't make his opponent stay, but he didn't feel depressed.
"My current strength is at the level of a Marquis genius, but compared to him, I still have a lot of room for improvement." After fighting for a while, Chen Zong was even more certain of his genius level with the Great Abyss King's memories.
Monarch Realm!
His genius level should be equivalent to the Monarch Realm of the ancient era or the Heavenly Yuan Sacred Region.
Above the Monarch Realm was the King Realm, and above that was the Emperor Realm. Monarch Realm was nothing.
If his genius level was really Monarch Realm, then the highest level of genius in the Sky Pillar Upper Region would only be Monarch Realm.
Compared to the Heavenly Yuan Sacred Region, the gap was too big.
Presumably, the other three upper regions' geniuses were similar.
It was no wonder that Sword Marquis Shan would look down on him. That kind of contempt wasn't directed at him, but at all the cultivators in the Sky Pillar Upper Region, or even the four upper regions.
It was like the gap between the upper and lower regions.
Cultivators born in the upper regions and cultivating in the upper regions looked down on those in the lower regions.
It was a sense of superiority that came from their bones.
After defeating Sword Marquis Shan and proving his strength, Chen Zong stepped forward at lightning speed. However, this time, Chen Zong didn't use Ten Shadows Ten Illusions. This was a low-grade saint level movement technique. Although it was fast and mysterious, it consumed a lot of energy.
Therefore, Chen Zong wanted to use it as a trump card.
As he moved forward, he searched for things that were useful to him, and at the same time, he tried to see if he could meet Fu Yunxiao or Yu Nianxin again.
After all, only three people from White Cloud Mountain had entered the Ice Empress Secret Realm. It would be best if all of them could leave this place alive.
Chen Zong kept going deeper into the Ice Emperor's Secret Realm. There was no one around him, as if no one had ever been here.
Occasionally, Chen Zong would see some traces that seemed to be left behind by ancient battles. However, if they were not sword scars, their value to Chen Zong was very low. Of course, low value did not mean that they were worthless. Comprehending them would more or less help his cultivation.
Moving forward, searching, and comprehending, Chen Zong's accumulation became more and more profound.
The icy wind whistled, bringing with it an astonishing chill. Ice shards and snow covered the sky, as if trying to freeze Chen Zong. However, Chen Zong continued to move forward. Suddenly, his eyes emitted a sharp light as he stared ahead.
In the midst of the icy wind, an ice tree stood tall, as if it was detached from the world. No matter how the wind blew, it stood tall and firm.
That ice tree was five meters tall, and its branches extended for more than three meters. It looked as if it was carved out of ice, vivid and lifelike.
Although this ice tree had an exquisite appearance, like a work of art, it didn't attract Chen Zong's attention. What really attracted Chen Zong were the three fruits on the tree.
If it was before, Chen Zong wouldn't have recognized what these fruits were because his knowledge was limited. However, after absorbing the remnant soul of King Taiyuan and obtaining his memories, Chen Zong's knowledge had increased countless times. Although he hadn't fully absorbed them, they were very real. As long as he saw the corresponding object, the corresponding information would appear.
When he saw the three fruits, part of King Taiyuan's memories also appeared, allowing Chen Zong to know what these fruits were.
The Icesoul Arcane Fruit!
This was a rare treasure of heaven and earth. It was a sacred medicine that was rare even in ancient times.
The Icesoul Arcane Fruit couldn't increase one's cultivation or heal injuries. It had only one use. Although it seemed useless, it was actually very valuable.
The only use of the Icesoul Arcane Fruit was to assist in cultivation.
For example, changing cultivation methods often took a long time, but with the help of the Icesoul Arcane Fruit, the time could be greatly reduced. As for the effect, it depended on the person. At least ten times, twenty times, thirty times, or even fifty times was possible. In King Taiyuan's memories, it seemed that someone had shortened the time by nearly a hundred times, which meant that the efficiency had increased by nearly a hundred times.
A hundred times!
This made Chen Zong extremely shocked.
Although the Icesoul Arcane Fruit had only one effect, it was of great use to him.
Whether it was changing cultivation methods or increasing the level of one's Secret Art, the effect was very significant.
In other words, if he consumed the Ice Spirit Mysterious Fruit and cultivated the White Cloud Soaring Technique, he would be able to cultivate to the fifth or even the sixth level in a short period of time. It would be even more powerful, and he could even completely master it and replace the original White Cloud Ultimate Technique. It would not be impossible for it to become his own basic strength.
For the vast majority of Transcendents, Saint Grade Secret Arts were impossible to comprehend, let alone cultivate. A very small number of Transcendents could comprehend and cultivate Saint Grade Secret Arts, but that was all. They could only use them as trump cards, such as Gao Hongjing, Bai Xiyue, and Fu Yunxiao.
It was very difficult to cultivate a Saint Grade Secret Art to the point where it could replace the original Spirit Grade Secret Art.
Firstly, it required high enough talent, and secondly, it required a corresponding inheritance.
In the entire Sky Bearing Sky Territory, there was no Transcendents who could cultivate a Saint Grade Secret Art to the point where it could replace the original Spirit Grade Secret Art. This was partly due to talent, but it was not entirely due to talent, there was also a corresponding inheritance.
Only a combination of enough talent and the right method could create an extraordinary person.
In the Tian Yuan Sacred Realm, although such inheritances were precious, they still existed. Of course, only the most powerful forces had them. Each one was different, and each one was a secret Sect, never divulging it to outsiders. Therefore, Sword Marquis Shan was able to possess such strength because he had cultivated a Saint Grade Secret Art to the point where it could replace the original Spirit Grade Secret Art.
In the Great Abyss King's memories, there was such an inheritance, and it was also cultivated by the Great Abyss King, so Chen Zong could easily learn it.
However, even if he had the corresponding inheritance, he still needed enough time to cultivate it.
In his memories, the Great Abyss King seemed to have spent nearly half a year to cultivate it, so it would probably take him a few months to cultivate and replace the White Cloud Soaring Heavens Art with the White Cloud Soaring Heavens Art.
A few months was nothing in normal times, but in the current situation, it was too long. Even the Ice Emperor Secret Realm was closed.
"But as long as I get these three Ice Spirit Profound Fruits, I can try to cultivate it in a short time." Chen Zong's eyes flickered.
If he could cultivate it in a short time, his strength would increase greatly, and he would have a greater advantage in the Ice Emperor Secret Realm.
With his spiritual sense covering a hundred meters, Chen Zong operated the White Cloud Soaring Heavens Art. His spiritual energy also changed, becoming purer and more powerful.
The three Ice Spirit Profound Fruits were right in front of him, but Chen Zong didn't dare to let down his guard. No one knew if there would be any sudden danger.
Just as Chen Zong approached the Frost Ice Tree and was about to pick the first Ice Spirit Profound Fruit, an extremely soft and sharp sound of wind breaking rang out.
When the sound of wind breaking resounded, a terrifying attack had already arrived at Chen Zong's back. It was several times faster than the speed of sound.
Chen Zong was already prepared. The cold light tore apart the sky and tore apart Chen Zong's body, but it was only an afterimage.
Chen Zong performed the Ten Shadows Ten Illusions, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. He appeared beside the attacker, unsheathed the Heavy Dragon Sword, and quickly slashed down.
Ten Blades Cutting Extreme!
Once he made his move, it was a thunderous and furious attack.
Chen Zong's reaction was too fast, and his speed was even more astonishing. Ten pitch-black sword lights broke through the air and immediately struck the five-meter-tall Ice Soul Evil Spirit. The Ice Soul Evil Spirit, which possessed the strength of a Semi-Saint, was sent flying with one strike. Moreover, the powerful strike left several sword scars on the Ice Soul Evil Spirit's body.
The body of the Ice Spirit Profound Evil Spirit was too hard and couldn't be damaged so easily. If it was before, Chen Zong could only leave shallow sword scars when using the Heavy Heart Sword.
Now, each sword light could leave deep sword scars. The increase in power was very obvious.
Ten Shadows Ten Illusions!
The ten shadows were constantly changing, making it impossible for the Ice Spirit Profound Evil Spirit to attack Chen Zong's real body. In order to avoid trouble, Chen Zong had to end the battle quickly. He sheathed the Heavy Dragon Sword, and the Red Flame Flowing Edge appeared.
Ten Blades Cutting Extreme!
Cut, cut, cut!
The Ice Spirit Profound Evil Spirit's left arm was cut off, and soon its right arm was cut off as well.
Then, the Ice Spirit Profound Evil Spirit's neck was cut off, and it died completely.
After killing the opponent, Chen Zong's figure moved. The ten shadows were constantly changing, as if ten arms were reaching out at the same time. It was like picking flowers with bare hands. The three Ice Spirit Profound Fruits fell into Chen Zong's hand, and he put them into his Storage Ring.
Cracks began to appear on the Ice Spirit Profound Tree, and it shattered, turning into ice shards on the ground.
"Find a place to cultivate in seclusion." Chen Zong's eyes swept across the area, and he carefully thought about the route he had taken before, and whether there was a suitable place to cultivate in seclusion.
About a dozen breaths later, Chen Zong thought of a secret place.
In a flash, Chen Zong went back the way he came. Half an hour later, he stopped and found a secret ice cave. He sealed the entrance of the ice cave, erased some traces, and made it look flawless from the outside. He also set up some traps in the ice cave. Then, Chen Zong went into the ice cave and began to cultivate in seclusion.
This ice cave was the habitat of several Ice Spirit Profound Evil Spirits that Chen Zong had encountered before, and they were all killed by Chen Zong. Now, it had become a temporary place for Chen Zong to cultivate in seclusion.
Sitting cross-legged, Chen Zong took out an Ice Spirit Profound Fruit and looked at it carefully.
The Ice Spirit Profound Fruit was about the size of a baby's fist. It was shaped like a human heart, but it was ice blue all over. There were wisps of lines on it, like blood vessels and tendons, and it was filled with a mysterious aura.
Chen Zong did not swallow the Ice Spirit Profound Fruit directly, but first comprehended the cultivation method.
This time, Chen Zong's goal was not the White Clouds Technique, but the Taiyuan Cloud-scraping Technique.
