Heavenly Soul Control Stone
Within a forest in the Sky Flame Mountain Range.
Whoosh whoosh!
Two figures flashed past like phantoms, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Who would've thought that not only did you obtain the Spirit Sobering Grass, but you've also made such great progress in your training. Rising three levels in one day and stepping into the earth spirit realm, how enviable." Lin Tianchong sized up Chu Xingyun and didn't hide the admiration in his eyes at all.
He'd created many cultivation legends in the past when he'd comprehended his own methods and martial arts.
But compared to Chu Xingyun, he paled in comparison.
"I only had a fortuitous encounter, it's not enough for Senior Lin to praise me." Chu Xingyun shrugged and didn't become complacent because of Lin Tianchong's praise.
His breakthrough this time was purely a coincidence.
Before entering the secret realm, Chu Xingyun hadn't thought that Geng Qianyu would practice the Nine Ghosts Revival Method and turn herself into a living dead with an aura of death.
This aura of death was perfectly countered by the blood essence of the true fire phoenix. The two auras of life and death clashed and exploded with boundless power. In the end, it allowed Chu Xingyun to break through and step into the earth spirit realm.
The admiration in Lin Tianchong's eyes grew when he heard Chu Xingyun's words. He suddenly changed the topic and said, "Why didn't you tell the little girl just now your name? She seems to have a good impression of you."
"She's just a little girl, what good impression? She's following me because she wants to comprehend the unity of man and sword and break through her cultivation bottleneck." Chu Xingyun paused for a moment before continuing, "When we were in the secret realm, I used my full strength to deal with the Double-Horned Spirit Python. If she thought back carefully, she would naturally be able to comprehend 'One with the Sword'."
"I didn't ask you this, why are you in such a hurry to cover it up?" Lin Tianchong chuckled as his eyes narrowed like a fox's.
"I'm not trying to hide anything. I'm just telling you the truth. I don't want you to think that I'm deliberately making up a sword's trajectory to deceive others." Chu Xing Yun snorted. His speed suddenly increased as he rushed forward.
Although he said this, Chu Xingyun sighed in his heart.
He had lived two lives and had experienced countless worldly affairs. How could he not see that in the depths of Qian Yuxin's heart, there was already a trace of hazy feelings for him.
It was also for this reason that Chu Xingyun did not leave his name and chose to leave directly.
In his heart, there was already Shui Liu Xiang, and there was no room for any other woman.
Chu Xingyun suddenly thought of Shui Liu Xiang, and his gaze softened. "It's been half a year since Liuxiang left. I wonder if she's doing well in the Jiuhan Temple. Has the Absolute Cold Blood Jade completely suppressed the Absolute Cold Meridians in her body?"
A strong feeling of longing surged out from the depths of his heart. It coiled around his heart like smoke and refused to dissipate for a long time.
At the same time, in the endless snow region tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Sky Flame Mountain Range.
This was a land of eternal ice.
Endless snowflakes drifted down and covered the entire area. Even those of the earth spirit realm would find it hard to withstand the chill. If they were not careful, they would turn into an ice sculpture.
The Nine Frost Peak was the highest peak in the endless snow region. It was thirty thousand meters tall and seemed to connect the heavens and the earth together.
A wide stone platform stood at the peak of the Nine Frost Peak.
The stone platform was covered with dense black inscriptions, one after another. They were like pitch-black chains, emitting a gloomy and cold aura as they gathered at the center of the stone platform.
At this moment, a small and skinny figure was sitting cross legged there.
Endless snow swept past with a bone-piercing chill as it slapped mercilessly on her body. She was like a small boat on the ocean, without anything to rely on and about to be destroyed at any moment.
Boom!
Without any warning, a bloody light suddenly surged out from the stone platform.
Under the spread of this bloody light, the black inscriptions on the stone platform actually started to squirm, as if they had a life of their own. They pounced towards the small and skinny figure and even attached themselves to her body.
Humming sounds continuously rang out as the black inscriptions continuously trembled. In the end, they suddenly blossomed with a touch of azure light.
The azure light continuously overlapped and swept out in all directions like a vast tide, enveloping the entire Nine Frost Peak.
"As expected of the legendary Nine Frost Absolute Meridians. The purity of the cold aura can be said to be unparalleled. In that instant just now, I actually broke through the shackles of my cultivation and stepped into the earth spirit realm!"
A group of young girls had gathered below the stone platform. They wore snow colored long robes, and two icy cloud patterns were carved onto the sleeves of their long robes.
The person who spoke was a girl with a delicate and pretty face. At this moment, her face was filled with joy as she crazily circulated her mental cultivation method, absorbing the azure light into her body.
As the azure light was absorbed, the aura on the girl's body actually increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Baleful Yin Qi within her body also became denser and more condensed.
"Ever since this person came to our Jiuhan Temple, the cultivation speed of everyone in the temple, regardless of whether they are disciples or elders, has greatly increased. The strength of the sect has been increasing almost every day." The girl took a deep breath and let out a sigh.
"I heard that this person is called Shui Liu Xiang. Because she possesses the Nine Frost Absolute Meridians, she was sealed on the stone platform. The azure light that we absorbed was the Nine Frost Absolute Meridians from her body."
"Although this person has been of great help to our Jiuhan Temple, she's still extremely pitiful when you think about it. She's been sealed on the Nine Frost Peak for an entire half year, enduring the wind and frost day and night. Even sleeping peacefully is a luxury."
"Those with the Nine Frost Absolute Meridians don't have Wu Ling within their bodies. She's a complete anomaly from head to toe. The thicker the cold aura within her body, the easier it is for her to explode and die. Our Jiuhan Temple has set down a great formation to help her suppress the cold aura, so of course she has to repay our kindness and help us increase our strength day and night. This is very fair."
"These words are correct. One must know that the Nine Frost Absolute Meridians are exceedingly terrifying. Once it erupts, everything within a hundred kilometer radius will be completely frozen. Even practitioners of the sky spirit realm won't be able to escape."
A trace of panic suddenly rose within the Jiuhan Temple disciples who'd been discussing endlessly when they heard these words. Their voices became more and more disorderly, and all of them had expressions of fear on their faces.
"Silence!"
An icy voice suddenly rang out at this moment.
Whoosh!
In front of everyone, the wind and snow condensed and transformed into a graceful woman. She released her aura and actually stopped the wind and snow in this area. At the cuffs of her sleeves, eight icy cloud patterns were neatly engraved.
This person was Lin Bingli.
Her strength had grown after half a year, and her status had also become more transcendent. She was second only to the head of the Jiuhan Temple.
"It's a rare opportunity to absorb the aura of the Nine Frost Absolute Meridians, why are you all making a ruckus here?" Lin Bingli's eyes swept over the crowd. Everyone's bodies were trembling wherever her gaze landed.
"Elder Lin, when we were talking about the Nine Frost Absolute Meridians earlier, we were suddenly afraid that the Nine Frost Absolute Meridians would erupt. If that were to happen, not to mention our Nine Frost Palace, even the Endless Snow Region would suffer a calamity of annihilation." A slightly older female lowered her head and said the thoughts of the disciples present.
"What groundless fears!"
Lin Bingli frowned and coldly shouted, "Although the Nine Frost Absolute Meridians are dangerous, our Jiuhan Temple's Absolute Cold Blood Jade can firmly suppress it. When Shui Liu Xiang came to the Jiuhan Temple, the head of the temple refined the Absolute Cold Blood Jade into nine blood needles and pierced them into the nine major acupuncture points of Shui Liu Xiang. As long as these nine blood needles are still in place, the Nine Frost Absolute Meridians will not be in danger of erupting.
"Moreover, when the nine blood needles were pierced, the head of the temple imprinted the rarely-seen Heavenly Soul Control Stone into Shui Liu Xiang's body. This stone has great power. If it is completely refined, it will be able to control the mind of others.
"I once heard the head of the temple say that she will be able to completely refine this stone in less than three years. At that time, Shui Liu Xiang will be obedient to the head of the temple and will not have any thoughts of resistance or hatred. She will be like a spiritual puppet."
When Lin Bingli finished her last sentence, the eyes of all the disciples were burning with passion.
The Nine Frost Absolute Meridians were not only greatly beneficial to their cultivation, but also allowed them to erupt with great battle strength. If they could completely control Shui Liu Xiang, it would be a win-win for the Jiuhan Temple.
"I've said all that needs to be said. Now, the cultivation is over. Return to the sect immediately!" Lin Bingli was very satisfied with the expressions of these disciples. As she shouted, she slammed her palm on the stone platform.
Boom!
The blood-red light on the stone platform trembled. After a short pause, it began to gradually dissipate. The black inscription on Shui Liu Xiang's body returned to its original position, as if it had never moved.
Seeing this, the disciples of the Jiuhan Temple immediately woke up from their cultivation state. In the blink of an eye, they scattered in all directions. They did not dare to stay here for long, nor did they dare to disobey Lin Bingli's orders.
After everyone left, Shui Liu Xiang, who had collapsed on the stone platform, slowly regained consciousness.
As soon as she opened her eyes, her body trembled violently. She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of dark red blood.
The Absolute Cold Blood Jade had been refined into nine blood needles and pierced into the nine major acupuncture points of Shui Liu Xiang. These nine blood needles, while absorbing the Nine Frost Qi, would also inflict great pain on Shui Liu Xiang.
Pain, fainting, and even spitting out blood were things that Shui Liu Xiang had become accustomed to. For the past six months, she had been like this almost every day.
"Unknowingly, half a year has passed. Big Brother Yun, have you been well?" Shui Liu Xiang raised her head and gazed at the bright moon and stars in the night sky. Her eyes were filled with longing.
For the past six months, whenever night fell, Shui Liu Xiang would gaze at the night sky like this, thinking of Chu Xingyun in her heart and recalling every day that they had experienced together.
This was because Shui Liu Xiang knew that there was a Heavenly Soul Control Stone in her body.
Under the refinement of the Jiuhan Temple's Palace Master, this stone had already produced a trace of soul-controlling power. This power could invade the depths of Shui Liu Xiang's mind and gradually control her soul.
Shui Liu Xiang was very afraid. She was afraid that in the near future, she would really become an emotionless spiritual puppet.
