Chapter 205: Xiao Bing Advances
At that moment, Yang Jiuli held the Cold Fiend Sword, and with a flick of the sword, clusters of cold flowers hung around him.
His body soared upwards, like a dragon soaring in the sky. His sword danced, its chilling aura flowing like a river, meandering and dynamic, powerful and endless.
Snowfall Sword Technique.
And he unleashed the Thirteen Forms of the Sword.
At this moment, he unleashed a powerful sword strike, its energy flowing endlessly.
Even the swordplay was far superior to what it used to be.
The sword energy howled like a gale, cutting through the void with a sharp, whistling sound.
This momentum is even greater than that of the former Grandmaster Wei Wuji.
With this swordsmanship, Yang Jiuli could fight Foundation Establishment cultivators even without using the 'Past Life Talisman'.
"It's time to leave this place!" After practicing his swordsmanship, Yang Jiuli sheathed his sword.
"This breakthrough, though narrowly successful, still has room for improvement!"
"We must prepare a third-tier formation. Only in this way can we seal the heavens and the earth!" Yang Jiuli whispered.
In his previous life, he also achieved some mastery of array formations in his later years, reaching the level of a third-tier array master, and collected a considerable number of array formations.
"At the very least, we need to prepare a near-third-tier formation!"
"In this way, we can be absolutely certain of success when we begin the foundation-building process!"
After all, no one can guarantee that no uninvited guest will suddenly appear during a breakthrough.
Second-tier formations can seal off the void.
It makes it difficult for people to break in.
Even cultivators skilled in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of technique that allows one to escape underground and enter the formation).
Only a near-third-order formation can completely seal off the void and earth veins, transforming them into a space with a radius of one hundred feet.
As solid as a rock.
As for the third-tier formation, it can already seal off an area of hundreds of miles in radius, or even wider.
He then left the secret realm with the two tiger weasels and Little Ice, returning to 'Lingxi Peak'.
After returning to Lingxi Peak, Yang Jiuli began to go to the near-third-tier Cold Fiend Spirit Vein from time to time to refine the cold energy in order to improve his cultivation.
During this period, Qin Zhixue wrote to Yang Jiuli, who replied, asking for his help in gathering some materials.
Among them are materials for refining the quasi-third-order formation, the "Minor Yin-Yang Reversal Formation".
There were also some medicinal materials mixed in with it for making the "Taiyin Soul Cleansing Pill".
He collected these medicinal herbs and materials for refining formations in several replies, gathering them in batches.
In this way, even if someone else opens one of his letters without permission, they will not be able to guess what he intends to do.
Unless you open all his letters.
However, Yang Jiuli had placed special restrictions on these letters, so that if any outsider opened them, he would know immediately.
If something unexpected happens, he naturally won't write down the materials that need to be collected later!
"With Zhixue's abilities... gathering the 'Minor Yin-Yang Reversal Array' shouldn't be a problem!"
Six months later, Yang Jiuli whispered as he sent out all the materials and information he needed in three separate letters.
Materials for the third-order "Two Elements Reversal Array" are hard to find.
Therefore, Yang Jiuli lowered his standards and planned to first refine the quasi-third-order 'Minor Yin-Yang Reversal Array'.
……
A month later.
Historical site space.
Yang Jiuli set up an array for Xiao Bing by the cold river to conceal her presence.
The reason for choosing this place again is that this cold river connects to a second-tier cold vein, which is most suitable for breakthrough.
Without the assistance of spiritual veins, the breakthrough is very likely to fail at the last minute.
Even if they barely advance, their future potential will be affected due to their weak foundation.
The formation is set up.
Yang Jiuli gave Xiaobing the "Blood Reversal Pill" and the "Frosty Jade Heart Lotus".
It is also supplemented with a pulse-protecting pill to protect the heart meridian.
After all, the icy aura nurtured within the 'Frosty Jade Heart Lotus' is far too domineering, comparable to the magical power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
After giving some instructions, Yang Jiuli allowed Xiao Bing to take the "Blood Reversal Pill".
This pill contains the demon core of the 'Blazing Tiger,' and its powerful demonic energy can help Xiao Bing activate the bloodline hidden within her body.
Break free from the shackles of tradition and take a step further.
However, this process is obviously extremely painful.
Blood began to flow from Xiao Bing's body, staining her pure white scales red.
Fortunately, the Meridian Protector Pill repaired its meridians in time.
In addition, a bloodline power within its body was also activated, causing its blood energy to surge and its aura to rise continuously, allowing its meridians to recover faster. This continued for a full half hour, during which a chilling aura emanated from its body.
Even its body is beginning to transform.
Its scales began to fade away little by little.
His body also began to swell.
Just as the scales were about to fall off, Xiao Bing opened its mouth and began to absorb the chilling energy from the 'Frosty Jade Heart Lotus'.
Under the nourishment of this dense, chilling aura, its body suddenly swelled up.
But then I saw that the scales on his neck had split open.
It flew out from there, soaring upwards, its body enveloped in a chilling aura as it flew into the air along with the 'Frosty Jade Heart Lotus'.
Immediately, it opened its mouth and swallowed the 'Frosty Jade Heart Lotus'.
The moment Xiao Bing swallowed the 'Frosty Jade Heart Lotus', her body continued to swell.
It transformed into a giant python that was 36 feet long and as thick as a water bucket.
Its scales were crystal clear and exuded a chilling aura; its forehead was slightly raised, as if a pair of horns were taking shape.
In the next instant, a chilling aura surged from its body, transforming into a sea of icy mist high in the sky.
A cold lotus stands tall in the sky.
A chilling aura cascaded down the lotus petals like a long river.
Within the lotus platform, however, a 'cold flame' flickered.
The flames flickered, sizzling in the air, yet they also carried a chilling aura.
"Is this the Immortal Foundation 'Frosty Jade Nurturing Demonic Flame'? Is it a mutation caused by the demonic core of the 'Blazing Tiger' or by Xiao Bing's bloodline?" Yang Jiuli murmured. Regardless of the cause, this mutation is a great benefit to Xiao Bing.
After all, this is the Frost Lotus Flame, which is extremely rare even in the cultivation world.
If it were a battle of magic.
It can not only freeze enemy spells, but also has the power to burn mountains and boil seas.
Cultivators of the same level would find this mutated flame quite troublesome.
"Ah..." As Xiao Bing broke through, a ripple appeared in the river beside him, and the little fox popped its head out again.
"Here it comes again?" Yang Jiuli sensed the little guy immediately and looked over with a thought.
The little fox blinked its eyes.
Looking up at the little ice in the sky, it seemed quite curious.
Sensing Yang Jiuli's divine sense sweeping over, the little guy's ears twitched and it immediately dived into the river.
But they couldn't help but peek out.
"This little guy is quite wary!" Yang Jiuli did not make any rash moves, but instead went to sense the little fox.
He could sense that the little guy didn't seem to have any ill intentions; he was just curious and wanted to come and see what was going on.
Seeing that Yang Jiuli did not launch a soul attack, the little guy poked its head out, its ears stood up, and its body was lifted by the cold mist and suspended above the river, and began to open its four directions.
However, when it blinked, it still appeared quite alert.
"This little guy's aura seems to be close to the mid-stage of the second tier!" Yang Jiuli sensed and thought to himself.
Judging from its cautious and wary appearance, it seems to rarely encounter strangers and is quite wild.
"A wild second-tier spirit fox..." Yang Jiuli smiled, a thought arising in his mind.
However, just as he smiled, the little fox let out a soft yelp, as if the little fellow had discovered the bad uncle.
She flashed and disappeared into the river.
"This..." Yang Jiuli was stunned by what he saw.
It was just a thought that popped into his head.
This guy sensed it?
Such spirituality is clearly beyond that of ordinary spirit foxes.
"It seems we can't rush things!" Yang Jiuli thought to himself.
He then regained his composure and looked at the little ice in the air.
The small ice cube hovered in the air, surrounded by a chilling aura, like a sea of mist carrying it.
Above its head, a huge vortex evolved above the cold lotus, frantically drawing in and absorbing the nearby cold air.
A powerful chill swept in like a long river.
This causes the air to gather into a sea of air, covering an area of about a kilometer.
The dense chill, refined by the Cold Lotus, poured down like a cascading Milky Way into Little Ice's body, where it was absorbed and refined.
The little guy's aura was steadily rising.
It has clearly reached the level of a second-tier demon beast.
Even the aura it exuded made the two tiger-sables in the valley tremble with fear.
The two large creatures subtly retreated, involuntarily wanting to prostrate themselves on the ground.
They clearly felt a powerful suppression of their bloodline, causing their souls to tremble.
"It seems that Xiao Bing's bloodline has reached the third level!" Yang Jiuli murmured.
He was quite satisfied with this.
Third-tier bloodline:
If properly nurtured, Xiao Bing may have the opportunity to condense a demon core and become a third-tier great demon in the future.
In this way, he will have another capable assistant.
The strange phenomenon lasted for a full hour.
Once Xiao Bing's breathing stabilized and the strange phenomenon disappeared, it transformed into a cold lotus and entered its body.
It then circled in the air and let out a hiss.
The hissing sound even seemed to hint at a transformation into a dragon.
This is the change brought about by activating the third-tier bloodline.
If one truly reaches the third level, there is a chance to transform from a python into a dragon.
Xiao Bing circled in the air for a moment, then flew towards Yang Jiuli.
When it came to Yang Jiuli, it transformed into a nine-inch-long snake and coiled itself around his shoulder.
呲呲!
The little guy flicked its tongue and then rubbed its head against Yang Jiuli.
Yang Jiuli smiled slightly and extended his palm.
Little Ice flew into his palm and coiled up.
Yang Jiuli looked at Xiao Bing.
After looking at the bulge on its forehead again, it nodded with considerable satisfaction.
Then, with a hand gesture, a master-servant contract appeared on Xiao Bing's forehead.
Yang Jiuli sent a wisp of his divine sense into it, wanting to see what skills Xiao Bing had awakened this time.
Instantly, Yang Jiuli's divine sense seeped into the master-servant contract pattern, and a feeling of merging with Xiao Bing surged into his heart.
He took in everything about Xiao Bing's internal condition.
First, there is also a similar Qi Sea within Xiao Bing's body.
A space was opened up inside, filled with a sea of cold air, and a cold lotus hung high above, shimmering with a wisp of icy flame.
The mind withdraws from this dantian.
We've arrived at Xiao Bing's mud ball again.
As soon as I entered, Xiao Bing transmitted a soul message.
He told Yang Jiuli about the skills he had awakened.
Talent skill: A simplified version of "Freeze a Thousand Miles," freezing a hundred meters.
Talent skill: 'Ice Spike'.
"As expected... after advancing to the third-tier bloodline, one can awaken innate skills..."
Upon seeing this, Yang Jiuli's heart stirred slightly.
