In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
The harsh winter outside had just passed, and the ground was covered with layers of ice crystals. Even the river water had frozen into ice, and it wasn't a problem for people and horses to walk across the river.
In the barbarian suppression barracks, torches were lit everywhere in the fire pits. Only these fires could bring some warmth to the soldiers.
This kind of harsh environment wasn't something that ordinary people could endure. For the people of Great Xia, this was a living hell.
In three months, there were already two to three hundred people who froze to death. This was already a common occurrence.
Previously, the Death Legion had the most casualties. This year, the Death Legion received military funds, and only a few people with poor health died. The rest were living well.
This was because the Death Legion was still carrying out death drills in this cold winter.
Yang Wu had already left the Death Legion for three months. The Rose of Death was cultivating in seclusion and basically didn't care about military affairs. The cold-faced adjutant also didn't care about the life and death of the other people in the Death Legion and only did his job well. As the advisor, Lu Zhi automatically assumed this responsibility.
Lu Zhi was originally an intelligent person and was familiar with hundreds of books. Before Yang Wu left, he even gave him some military books. If he wanted to plan strategies and determine victory from a thousand miles away, he had to first train the army well and have both offense and defense.
Lu Zhi wanted to seize this opportunity to perform well so that he wouldn't waste his life's learning.
Lu Zhi had already obtained Yang Wu's authority and let Li Dazui protect him. The other commanders were under his command. Many commanders admired Yang Wu, but it didn't mean that they were willing to listen to Lu Zhi's command. At first, some commanders pretended to comply, but after Lu Zhi took out the elixir as a reward, it made these commanders feel like they were injected with chicken blood. They drilled their subordinates to death and no one dared to be negligent.
Lu Zhi had said that Yang Wu could refine King Alchemists. If anyone wanted to break through to the Earth Sea Realm and become a King, then they had to obediently listen to him. In the future, if they performed meritorious deeds on the battlefield and had enough herbs, then Yang Wu would definitely refine pills for them to break through to the Earth Sea Realm.
These commanders had basically all reached the peak of the General Realm. Who among them didn't desire to break through to the King Realm?
Unfortunately, their own conditions had already determined everything. It was difficult for them to possess a King's Secret Art, and wanting to break through to King Tier was basically hopeless. However, with a King of Pills, they still had a sliver of a chance of breaking through. This was also the reason why they had no choice but to listen to Lu Zhi's commands.
They would never doubt Yang Wu's ability. Yang Wu had proved everything with his actions. Li Dazui and Zhou Yong's successful breakthrough into the General Realm was the best example.
Lu Zhi wore an animal skin coat and held a feather fan in his hand. He stood on top of a hill and looked into the distance. He had the air of a ruler. His handsome face, which would make any woman jealous, added a bit of charm to this land.
Li Dazui followed Lu Zhi. He obviously didn't stand on the same line as Lu Zhi. Instead, he lagged behind him, looking as if he respected Lu Zhi.
Li Dazui had stopped eating human flesh and had become much quieter. What he needed to do now was to make contributions to Yang Wu in the Death Legion.
Yang Wu valued Lu Zhi, so Li Dazui respected Lu Zhi.
"Ahem, in another month, this place will completely thaw. At that time, the barbarian army will definitely attack us when the ice layer is at its coldest. If I were the commander, I would start the defense now and set up traps in this ice layer. After the ice melts, the enemy will definitely suffer heavy losses when they attack. Unfortunately, the commander in the army doesn't realize this and still hides for the winter. This will cause us to lose the initiative." Lu Zhi coughed softly and said.
"If the deputy commander is here, he will definitely listen to the strategy of the advisor." Li Dazui replied.
"Yes, the deputy commander has been away for a long time and hasn't come back. If he could come back, with his influence, the commanders would be able to come up with countermeasures. What a pity." Lu Zhi sighed softly. After a pause, he said seriously, "Commander Li, immediately pass down the order for all the commanders to bring their troops here. Our Death Legion is originally the vanguard of the death warriors. We will do what the commanders don't do. I want our Death Legion to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat!"
"Yes!" Li Dazui responded softly and returned to gather the other commanders.
Lu Zhi lightly wrapped the animal skin and sighed, "If one day, we can cross the Wolf Smoke Mountain Range and conquer the barbarian race, it will be an incomparably glorious thing."
… …
Ice Wolf Valley, Ice Mountain.
Outside, it was still snowing. Every mountain was covered in ice and snow. Inside the largest ice mountain was someone else's paradise.
This place was isolated from the outside world. The climate was like spring, the scenery was fresh, cows and horses were peaceful, and the frosty spring hung upside down like hooks. It was as beautiful as a painting.
A Silver Patterned Tortoise was in front of the frosty spring. It was madly absorbing the extreme cold energy here, and its realm was advancing by leaps and bounds.
It had swallowed an old herb king and reached the realm of a mid-tier Demonic King. Its Demonic Qi was incomparably strong. It originally wanted to get close to the frosty spring, but it was unable to bear the cold. It didn't dare to approach the frosty spring again and could only obediently cultivate day after day.
"The terrifying extreme cold energy. I'm afraid that the Ice Flood Dragon will be frozen to death and won't be able to come out. This peaceful place is perfect for me to slowly cultivate to the realm of a Demonic King." The Silver Patterned Tortoise said leisurely.
The Tortoise Race had the longest lifespan. It could stay here and cultivate for a long time without any pressure.
The only thing it was worried about was whether the Ice Flood Dragon was dead. If it was dead, it would be best. If it wasn't, and if it appeared again, it would have to hide far away. An existence of that level wasn't something it could provoke.
At the bottom of the frosty spring, a naked young man slowly appeared.
This young man looked quite miserable. His body was full of cracks, and his meridians and bones could be faintly seen. He was like a ceramic man. Countless frosty spring Xuan Qi constantly seeped into and cut into these wounds, causing his injuries to worsen. At the same time, another force was at work, constantly healing his injuries.
In this repeated process, the frosty spring Xuan Qi gradually faded and entered his body.
Not far away, the female ghost looked at this scene, her eyes rolling with an inexplicable brilliance.
The Supreme Nine Mysteries Formula needed to absorb nine kinds of Xuan Qi of Heaven and Earth to evolve. Now, as the frosty spring Xuan Qi was gradually digested, the speed at which Yang Wu circulated the power in his body had increased by 500 times compared to when he was in the realm of General.
This terrifying evolution could absolutely be called a miracle.
In other words, his absorption speed was far higher than that of a King. It was comparable to a super expert of the Heavenly Fish Realm.
The dragonfish that appeared in the sea belonged to the Heavenly Fish Realm, which was comparable to a Heavenly Demon. It was a completely different realm. Existences of this level were almost rare in the mortal world. They would only appear in places like the Transcendental Realm like the Nation Protector.
The absorption speed of Yang Wu's cultivation method was comparable to that of a cultivator of that level. This proved that the Supreme Nine Mysteries Formula was heaven-defying. It was no wonder Blackie said that it was the strongest immortal formula.
At this time, Yang Wu had already gone from being unable to bear the torture of the extreme cold to being completely numb. It was a completely different situation.
Before, he really wanted to die like this. It was a feeling worse than death.
But after enduring the limit again and again, his Divine Court Dao Flower was slowly growing. The original seven small petals grew a lot, and a little person condensed in the flower core. This little person was his soul.
The solidification of the soul was a sign that could only be achieved in the Heavenly Fish Realm. Yang Wu had reached it one step ahead. No matter who saw it, they could not accept this fact.
With a corporeal soul, Yang Wu would be able to obtain even greater benefits.
Apart from the benefits of the Divine Court Dao Flower, his body was the biggest benefit. After such a long period of torture, he was completely immune to the cold. In the future, when he encountered cold Qi that was not as cold as the extreme cold, it would not cause any harm to him. The toughness of his body was unparalleled.
As for his meridians, acupoints, and dantian, they had all received a new round of expansion. His physique had once again undergone earth-shaking changes.
Previously, he already had a pure and spotless body. His path of cultivation was open and level. Now that he had evolved, he would have a heaven-defying martial body. With such a physique, even if he cultivated ordinary Profound Arts, he would be able to reach a very high realm.
It had to be said that Yang Wu's opportunity was very heaven-defying.
Of course, if it were not for the peach core dantian, he would have been finished long ago. There was no way he could bear this opportunity.
The peach core dantian had divided a lot of Frost Spring Mysterious Essence, and there was a faint trace of vitality between the surface and the body. It felt that one day, it might sprout and grow into an Immortal Peach Tree.
If that was the case, Yang Wu would really become an immortal.
Another month passed, and Yang Wu finally completely refined the Frost Spring Mysterious Essence. The cold Qi at the bottom of the spring quickly weakened a lot, and Yang Wu's body gradually healed. Soon, there were no more scars on his body. Instead, it was crystal clear like jade. Every part of his body was like an exquisite work of art, which seemed unreal.
This body could be said to be perfect, and it had an ethereal temperament like that of an immortal.
If his face was a little more delicate, he would definitely be more beautiful than Lu Zhi. Fortunately, his face was more sunny and determined. This appearance was enough to make thousands of women fall head over heels for him.
At this moment, his aura was rising steadily. In his mind, the comprehension of the Earth Sea Realm that his mysterious master had passed on to him appeared. He quickly charged toward the Earth Sea Realm.
His Mysterious Qi had turned into liquid, and his dantian was like an ocean.
A large amount of Mysterious Qi in his meridians and acupoints were being converted. The Mysterious Qi in his dantian fell like rain, and it quickly turned his dantian into a vast ocean. Many Mysterious Qi turned into liquid, and many little drops made an ocean. Layers of ethereal mist floated, like divine clouds, and nothing could be more beautiful.
Pa pa!
Weng weng!
The meridians in Yang Wuhun's body were emitting rhythmic sounds. His acupoints were also emitting strange noises as they revolved at high speed. His entire body was rippling with a majestic aura. He had become a king in one fell swoop.
