Chapter 502 - Ice Spring



Chapter 502 – Ice Spring

The consciousness of the four Spiritual Masters instantly descended. Some carried warnings, some carried indifference, some carried hostility, and Yang Junshan revealed a calm and composed expression. He looked down at the valley behind the mountain, and after his gaze met with the four Spiritual Masters, he could only slightly nod in acknowledgement.

Four of them had already been occupied by the four Spiritual Masters, and amongst the four of them, other than the one in the valley who looked to be the oldest Spiritual Master, who had reached the Gangli Accumulation Realm, the other three had the same level of Astral Transformation Realm as Yang Junshan.

Looks like I’m not too late!

Yang Junshan suppressed the joy in his heart, and his figure slowly descended from the top of the mountain. He leisurely walked to the spring of the last five people, and directly fell into the lake.

The bone-piercing cold spring water was instantly soaked through the spirit energy that Yang Junshan had attached to the surface of his body. The cold air seeped into his flesh and seeped into his bone marrow, almost to the point of freezing his entire body into an ice sculpture.

The bone-soaked coldness caused Yang Junshan to involuntarily shiver, and he could not help but let out a “ha” sound, revealing a trace of an unexpected expression.

Even so, Yang Junshan still did not stop his footsteps as he walked towards the spring. Layers of ice appeared on the Ice Crystal Jade Spring’s surface, covering her calves, then her thighs, waist, chest, and shoulders.

This was because he could clearly feel that the True Essence in his body was being stimulated by the Ice Crystal Jade Spring, and was currently circulating at a faster speed. The nine man true energy was constantly resisting the invasion of the frost concept, and even took away the mysterious source of frost energy that was contained in the cold aura, then, the previously incomplete astral energy in his body started to transform at a speed ten times faster than normal.

At the same time, Yang Junshan’s consciousness could clearly feel that after his body resisted the freezing cold energy, the cold energy was constantly tempering his body. His originally extremely strong and tough body was being strengthened at an extremely fast speed.

However, what Yang Junshan did not notice was that when he stepped into the Ice Crystal Jade Spring s, the other Spiritual Masters who were cultivating in the other four places had expressions of watching a good show. They were communicating with each other with playful expressions, and their gazes on Yang Junshan were even filled with naked greed.

However, when Yang Junshan directly fell into the Ice Spring Water Pool, and even walked step by step towards the depths of the lake, the four disciples immediately restrained the greed in their eyes, and when they looked at Yang Junshan again, an additional trace of seriousness appeared in their eyes, but their playful expressions still remained.

However, when Yang Junshan directly revealed only his head in the lake and his pale white face revealed a look of joy and enjoyment, the four Spiritual Masters no longer looked at Yang Junshan solemnly, but were completely shocked instead.

It was only at this time that the primordial energy in Yang Junshan’s body, under the stimulation of the cold essence, started to continuously transform into the astral energy at a steady rate, and the cold energy within the Ice Crystal Jade Spring started to slowly acclimatize. Only then did he finally recover his senses and look around, only to realize that not only were the other four Spiritual Masters sizing him up, they were all looking at him with a strange expression in their eyes.

Yang Junshan did not understand, but he was secretly on guard in his heart. At this time, the cultivator in the deepest part of the valley laughed and asked: “Fellow is actually quite familiar, he does not look like one of us from the Pure county. How do I address you, fellow?”

Yang Junshan heard the conversation between the few people just now. Although he did not know which one of the four was a Snow Wind Sword Sect cultivator, the moment this Gangli Accumulation Realm cultivator opened his mouth, he knew that it was that cultivator from the Black Scale Sect who was called Adept Jing Chen, and immediately laughed: “Junior greets Adept Jing Chen, this humble one is Yang Xishan, and greets fellow daoists.

Yang Junshan would naturally not reveal his secret, and everyone else would not believe what Yang Junshan had said all of a sudden either.

A white-faced cultivator with no beard also laughed, “So it’s Taoist Yang. I am Jingyuan, also a Mystical Scale Sect cultivator like Senior Brother Jingchen. The one to the right of Senior Brother Jingchen is Fellow Daoist Liu Qiu of the Wangchun County, and the one to the right of Fellow Daoist is the true inheritor of Snow Wind Sword Sect’s number one major sect in the Liang Zhou, Snow Wind Sword Sect Disciple Zhang Mofeng.”

Spiritual Master Liu Qiu and Spiritual Master Zhang Mo Feng also bowed to Yang Junshan, but they could tell that Spiritual Master Zhang Mo Feng was obviously a man of arrogance, but when he greeted Yang Junshan, his expression became serious. Even though his movements were a little stiff, his originally overbearing aura was not directed at Yang Junshan.

Perhaps it was because of the two Spiritual Masters Pure Dust and Pure Yuan, Yang Junshan could not help but guess that this was a county, one that was under the control of the Mystical Scale Sect, and that the Adept Jing Chen was a Gangli Accumulation Realm expert.

After everyone recognized each other, Adept Jing Yuan asked: “Taoist Yang’s physical body is extremely powerful, the source of the cold Qi is extremely terrifying, even the slightest mistake could cause a backlash from the cold Qi, if one’s physical body is weaker, they would freeze into an ice sculpture upon entering, and even if senior brother Pure Dust were to soak himself in the spring water, he would have to carefully soak his entire body in the spring water.

It was only now that Yang Junshan realized that his previous performance when he was soaking in the ice spring was far too flamboyant. Other than Adept Jing Chen who was like him, with the exception of the four other Spiritual Masters who had completely immersed himself in the ice spring from the neck down, Zhang Mo Feng, from the chest down, was immersed in the spring from the waist up.

Initially, Yang Junshan had thought that the other three people’s Ice Spring Pond was relatively shallow and could only reach their waists or chests. He had also thought that it was odd that they did not squat down or sit cross-legged in the pool, as only by submerging more of their bodies into the pool would they be able to absorb as much of the cold energy as possible from the source of the ice spring.

Now he finally understood that it was not that people did not know of this principle, but rather that the cold energy that seeped into the bone marrow would cause harm to the origin of cultivators if they did not have a strong physical body and vigorous True Essence to resist it. Yang Junshan himself, however, had unknowingly revealed his strength to everyone.

But very quickly, Yang Junshan felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, these people clearly knew that they could not casually soak in the cold pond, and yet, they had not been reminded of their reckless actions in entering the cold pond. Fortunately, their bodies were strong, and the nine figures of True Divine s were extremely high in rank, making them safe and sound, causing the other four to think that they were using this to display their strength and intimidate others, if not, even if they were careless, they would not mind pushing themselves again.

Thinking about it, Yang Junshan couldn’t help but shiver, but to not show it on his face, but instead said modestly: “Adept Jing Yuan is too kind, I was merely fortunate enough to eat an unknown fruit when I was young, which allowed my body to have an extremely strong resistance to the cold, but my physical body is not as strong as Fellow Daoist thinks.”

This was something that even Yang Junshan could not believe, but everyone knew the chill inside. Seeing that Yang Junshan was not willing to talk about it, the Adept Jing Yuan naturally would not offend someone of the same cultivation level, so he changed the topic: “It is said that every time the Ice Crystal Jade Spring appears, the cold pond that is formed is about 3-5 times, but each cold pond can only be used by at most two cultivators. If it was the Martial Realm Cultivator, then it would be sufficient for at least 5 people to absorb the cold energy, and then the spring would disappear.”

Furthermore, every time a spring disappears, the Snow Region of Ice and Snow, which is formed in the vicinity due to the spring, will shrink as well. Until all the Ice Crystal Jade Spring retract back into the ground, then the Snow Region of Ice and Snow will also disappear within the next hour.

Upon hearing that, Daoist Master Liu Qiu laughed and said, “You will have to ask Adept Jing Chen about that. When I was looking for the Ice Crystal Jade Spring, the Adept Jing Chen had already occupied a cold pond.

The Adept Jing Chen smiled slightly and said: “There are indeed people who have been here before, but it is the two Martial Realm Cultivator s who have occupied the Wintry Spring where Fellow Zhang and Taoist Yang are. When they saw this old man come, the two cultivators immediately left in fear, in fact, this old man had no intention of chasing them away.

Liu Qiu laughed, “These two are quite lucky, to have met with the Adept Jing Chen. If it were anyone else, I’m afraid they would have already been killed by now!”

Upon hearing these words, Adept Zhang Mo Feng gave a cold snort. While soaking in the cold pond, he suddenly turned around and pointed towards the exit of the valley. A streak of sword-light flashed between his fingers.

A terrified shout came from the distant valley entrance, “Run!” “Ah …”

The sword light circled around the mouth of the valley, causing the three heads to fly into the air.

The Adept Jing Chen frowned, but Spiritual Master Liu Qiu remained expressionless, while Yang Junshan also remained calm and collected. In fact, he had already noticed the three Martial Realm Cultivator s when they were close to the valley entrance, but he did not take it to heart as they did not dare to snatch the Wintry Spring from the hands of the Spiritual Masters.

Adept Jing Yuan looked at his own senior brother and spoke with slight dissatisfaction: “Fellow Daoist Zhang, there is no need to be like this. With just a few cultivation resources, do you dare to snatch the cold pond from our hands?”

Adept Zhang Mo Feng gave him a sideways glance, then said coldly, “They won’t, but the other Adepts might be able to acquire the position of the Wintry Pond from their mouths.”

The Adept Jing Yuan laughed dryly, then said: “Even if two of these five cold ponds were entered by the Martial Realm Cultivator first, it’s impossible for the five of us to absorb all the cold energy this time. Everyone else just wait!”

Zhang Mofeng laughed, “Do you think other people will believe you or wait?”

Adept Jing Yuan laughed awkwardly, and did not say anymore. Seeing this, the others also focused on absorbing and refining the cold energy, using the pure True Divine Spirit Qi in their bodies to solidify the foundation of their Dantian, and very quickly, an hour passed.

At this time, the Adept Jing Yuan laughed, and said, “Looks like the reaction of the other cultivators isn’t fast, in about an hour, they will be saturated.”

Just as Adept Jing Yuan’s voice fell, a ray of light flashed through the valley entrance, straight towards the target, Yang Junshan.
