Chapter 233 – The Land of Extreme Cold (Moonlight Votes)
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Chuniang walked forward, casually took a jade box closest to her, and galvanized the lightning talisman seal that sealed the box.
The very moment the lightning talisman was energized, a flash of white light flashed by and her figure disappeared into the great hall.
After her figure disappeared, the remaining eight jade boxes, along with the lightning talismans on them, vanished.
Xu Chuniang had just activated the lightning talisman, and before she had the chance to open the jade box, she subconsciously winced.
Cold, extremely bone-chilling cold.
She even felt the breath she exhaled turn into frost and snow, the cold coming from all directions, pervasive.
Under the erosion of this severe cold, even the blood and aura in her body were obviously much stagnant, flowing more and more slowly and difficult.
Originally Xu Chuniang, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, has a spiritual qi to protect her body, should be fearless of heat and cold, but now in the middle of the glacier and snowy mountains, even felt the coldness of a long time ago.
Soon, her eyelashes were covered in white frost, and her face was frozen white.
Xu Chuniang called on her spiritual qi to protect her body, but she could only barely resist the erosion of the cold.
Moreover, in this state, the spiritual qi in her body was extremely depleted, and she could last for a few days at most.
Was this the true trial of the seventh level?
Xu Chuniang looked down at the jade box in her hand and flipped it open, but it was empty, nothing inside.
She casually put the jade box away and looked around, a look of gravity on her face.
At a glance, the surrounding area was a white blanket of glacial snow, with no boundaries in sight.
And at the bottom of her feet, there was years of cold ice that was several feet deep, this was a place of extreme cold.
Xu Chuniang’s expression grew more and more grave, being in such an extreme environment, if her aura ran out, there was only one way out.
The surrounding aura was abundant, but these auras were all ice auras, cold to the bone, I’m afraid that they couldn’t be smoothly absorbed.
She made a slight attempt and carefully absorbed the surrounding ice aura.
Only not long after, these ice spiritual qi that entered her body froze the spiritual veins.
With no other choice, she paused the absorption of the Ice Spiritual Qi, and it was only then that the Spiritual Veins opened up once again.
However, without the supplement of spiritual qi, relying on the spiritual qi in her body for support alone wouldn’t last long.
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment and decided to find a cave to take shelter in first.
If she found a dry and warm cave, she might be able to last longer.
As she traveled with her sword and looked far and wide, she really did find a cave.
However, after her divine sense swept through the cave, she found that it was filled with years of cold ice, just as cold as the outside.
Perhaps there was no place to stay in this extremely cold place.
Xu Chuniang was about to withdraw her divine sense from the cave when she suddenly realized something and poked towards a crack in the corner.
After probing the situation in the crack, her pupils shrunk slightly.
In this kind of extremely cold land, there was still life, and it was still this kind of fragile and fragile ants that would die if they bumped into each other.
Without hesitation, she headed towards the direction of the cave, entered this natural cave, and arrived in front of the crack.
The mole crickets were unaware of her arrival, still busy in their world.
Xu Chuniang didn’t disturb them, but instead popped out her divine sense and extended it along the crack towards it.
The space beneath the crack was much more expansive than she had imagined.
In addition to a much larger number of mole crickets, there was a green moss growing in the deeper places where no light could be seen.
And this group of mole crickets survived by feeding on those mosses. She bent down and placed her hand between the cracks, and before long, a mole cricket crawled into her palm.
The mole cricket quickly realized the change in its surroundings and anxiously whirled around in her palm.
It wasn’t until an extremely weak thread of aura held it in place that it was able to keep it honest.
Not long after, Xu Chuniang withdrew the aura silk and brought her hand back close to the ground.
The mole cricket panicked and crawled towards the ground along with her hand, quickly disappearing into the cracks and out of sight.
A thoughtful look flashed across Xu Chuniang’s eyes, no matter if it was the moss or the mole cricket, they were both just ordinary things, not only did they not have any cultivation, but they were also the lowest level of existence in this world.
But they were so weak that they were able to survive in this extremely cold illusory realm, why was that?
According to reason, they should freeze when blown by this cold wind.
However, regardless of whether it was this mole cricket or moss, it was as if they were unaffected by their surroundings.
Could it be because they had been living here for a long time and had long since adapted to the extreme cold?
A hint of hesitation flashed in Xu Chuniang’s eyes, then turned into determination as she stopped the operation of her aura around her.
The instant she gave up on resisting the coldness around her, her body temperature instantly lowered.
On her eyelashes, it didn’t take long for a white frost to reappear, and her blood and internal aura, once again, stagnated.
Even the breath she inhaled carried a biting, unmelting chill.
Xu Chuniang tried her best to ignore the discomfort in her body, sitting down on her knees and trying to inhale the ice aura into her body.
These Ice Spiritual Qi carried a morose coldness that froze the spiritual vein as soon as it entered it.
The already slow-running aura was running even slower this time.
Xu Chuniang clenched her teeth and not only did she not stop, she instead increased her absorption of the ice aura.
Soon, the massive influx of Ice Spiritual Qi froze more of the Spiritual Veins, and the Spiritual Qi completely stagnated and did not move.
These Ice Spiritual Qi entered the dantian, and the operation of the Easy Technique Technique became extremely difficult.
The golden dao platform in the dantian was even covered with a thick layer of frost.
As the ice aura increased within Xu Chuniang’s body, her body’s temperature dropped even faster and she began to tremble uncontrollably.
Even after the ice aura entered the Yuan Shen, her consciousness became much more sluggish due to the extreme cold.
Her body formed a thin layer of ice from the inside out. From afar, it looked like a lifeless ice statue.
If this continued, it was only possible that she would lose her life at any time.
After sensing that the ice aura that her body could hold had reached the extreme, Xu Chunniang finally stopped inhaling and began to move her aura around to protect herself from the cold.
Due to the freezing and stagnation of the dantian and spirit veins, the aura that could have been easily driven away was only barely mobilized a tiny bit with the effort of nine oxen and two tigers.
This trace of aura slowly traveled around her body, and it didn’t take long for it to freeze.
Xu Chuniang frowned slightly and resumed mobilizing another trace of aura ……
As time passed, the layer of ice on Xu Chunniang’s body grew thicker and thicker.
At first, it was only a thin layer like a jade slip, but at the back, it was already a foot deep, looking like a lifeless ball of ice.
Xu Chuniang, who was in the middle of the ice ball siege, was still struggling to hold on to her body’s spiritual qi.
The cold had caused her body to lose sensation and her consciousness to become numb.
However, even in such a situation, she had never stopped the operation of her aura, nor had she ever doubted her judgment.
Q: Do you have any good suggestions about naming the little tiger ^_^
