Chapter 931 : A Pact Forged in Ice

"That is good."

Frost Jade, the Immortal Maiden let out a sigh of relief and actually seemed about to prostrate herself, saying, "This humble one offers her deepest gratitude on behalf of Master."

"There is no need for such formalities. The Primordial Ice Silkworm Senior saved my life; this is the least I can do in return."

Eldrin Chen helped Frost Jade, the Immortal Maiden to her feet, his thoughts turning once more to his own cultivation of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body.

Taking a measured breath, he spoke, "To speak of this now may seem like taking advantage of your situation, but I do indeed have a request to make."

"Oh?" Frost Jade, the Immortal Maiden's eyes flickered with interest, and she smiled as she asked, "Speak your mind freely, Fellow Daoist. If it is within my power, I shall grant it."

Eldrin Chen nodded and stated plainly, "To be frank, I seek to temper my physical body. I wish to borrow the use of the Supreme Profound Ice Pool [a legendary pool of water of ultimate cold, said to be capable of freezing even a cultivator's soul] within the Extreme Northern Ice Plains."

"The Supreme Profound Ice Pool?"

Frost Jade, the Immortal Maiden's expression shifted, a look of shock crossing her features. "The waters of the Supreme Profound Ice Pool are the pinnacle of mortal-world cold, potent enough to congeal even a cultivator's soul essence [the spiritual core of a being]. To use a small amount for cultivating a Divine Ability is one thing, but to temper your flesh with it... the risk of eternal entombment in ice is all too real."

"I understand perfectly well." Original publication: audio~novel.com - The source of this chapter.

Eldrin Chen nodded, yet replied with unshakable calm, "However, for my physical body to advance to the next level, nothing less than the most extreme substance this mortal world can offer will suffice."

"This..."

The expression of Frost Jade, the Immortal Maiden shifted several times. Seeing that Eldrin Chen seemed to possess considerable confidence, she finally drew a deep breath and said, "If that is the case, then you must still proceed with the utmost caution."

She offered no further counsel. Instead, she led Eldrin Chen to the edge of the Supreme Profound Ice Pool [a pool of water formed from the most profound and extreme cold energies of the northern pole], deep within the Earth Vein [a concentrated vein of spiritual energy flowing through the earth]. Her countenance turned grave as she spoke:

"The waters of the Supreme Profound Ice Pool [a pool of water formed from the most profound and extreme cold energies of the northern pole] converge the ultimate frigid Qi [the vital energy that flows through all living things] of the Far North. They are the source of the world's most severe cold. A Nascent Soul Cultivator [a cultivator who has formed their Nascent Soul, a spiritual infant that is the core of their power] would be frozen solid in an instant upon entering. Even a Demigod Ancestor [a cultivator who has transcended mortality and attained a semi-divine state of being] would suffer frostbite and perish within a few days."

"Once you enter the pool, if you sense the situation turning against you, you must not stubbornly persist. Retreating from the Supreme Profound Ice Pool [a pool of water formed from the most profound and extreme cold energies of the northern pole] in time may yet offer a chance for remedy."

"My thanks for the warning." Eldrin Chen clasped his hands in a formal salute, then declared, "I shall enter the ice pool to cultivate today. Should any unforeseen events occur in the Purple Realm, I would be grateful if you, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term used between cultivators], would inform me."

The opportunity to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physical constitution said to be as unyielding as the primordial chaos from which the universe was born] lay before him. Eldrin Chen naturally wished to delay no further.

And so, he stepped forward into the Supreme Profound Ice Pool [a pool of water formed from the most profound and extreme cold energies of the northern pole] and began his cultivation of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physical constitution said to be as unyielding as the primordial chaos from which the universe was born].

This Supreme Profound Ice Pool truly lives up to its name as the world's most frigid water [water of extreme cold]. The moment Eldrin Chen stepped into it, he felt a bone-piercing chill invade his very marrow.

Such water of ultimate cold, while not as domineering and fierce as the Tribulation Lightning Pool, possesses the power to freeze all things in heaven and earth. Its cold is pervasive and enduring, and its lethality is in no way inferior.

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique of immense resilience] was astonishingly potent, akin to a blazing furnace. Even enduring this all-freezing, ultimate cold Qi [the vital energy that flows through all living things], he suffered not the slightest injury. Instead, it provoked billowing plumes of white steam.

Wait a moment, still writing. "That is good."

Frost Jade, the Immortal Maiden let out a sigh of relief and actually moved to prostrate herself, saying, "This humble one offers her deepest thanks on behalf of my Master."

"There is no need for that. Senior Primordial Ice Silkworm once saved my life; this is what I should do."

Eldrin Chen helped Frost Jade, the Immortal Maiden to her feet, his thoughts turning once more to the matter of his own cultivation of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body.

Taking a soft, deep breath, he finally spoke. "To speak of this now may seem like taking advantage of another's plight, but I do indeed have a request to make."

"Oh?" Frost Jade, the Immortal Maiden's eyes flickered, and she asked with a smile, "If you have a request, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator], please speak it plainly."

Eldrin Chen nodded and stated directly, "To be frank, I wish to cultivate my physical body and would like to borrow the 'Supreme Profound Ice Pool' of the Extreme Northern Ice Plains for this purpose."

"The Supreme Profound Ice Pool [a legendary pool of water embodying the ultimate cold of the mortal realm]?"

Frost Jade, the Immortal Maiden's expression shifted, unable to suppress her shock as she said, "The waters of the Supreme Profound Ice Pool are the pinnacle of mortal cold, capable of freezing even a cultivator's soul essence [the spiritual core of a being]."

"Using a small amount to cultivate a Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power] might be feasible, but to temper your physical body with it... I fear you risk being eternally encased in ice."

"I am well aware,"

Eldrin Chen nodded, yet his tone remained steady. "However, for my physical form to advance further, I require nothing less than the most extreme substances this world can offer."

"This..."

Frost Jade, the Immortal Maiden's face shifted through several shades of concern. Seeing the resolute certainty in Eldrin Chen's demeanor, she finally drew a deep breath. "Since your mind is set, then you must be exceedingly cautious." Experience the full epic at audio‑novel.com.

She offered no further counsel. Instead, she led Eldrin Chen deep into the Earth Vein [a concentrated ley line of terrestrial spiritual energy] to the very edge of the Supreme Profound Ice Pool. Her expression turned grave as she spoke:

"The waters of the Supreme Profound Ice Pool gather the ultimate frigid Qi [vital energy] of the Far North, making it the source of the world's deepest cold. A Nascent Soul Cultivator [a cultivator whose soul has formed an independent infant form] would be frozen solid in an instant. Even a Demigod Ancestor [a cultivator half-step into immortality] would suffer severe frostbite and perish within a few days."

"Once you enter the pool, if you sense anything amiss, do not force yourself. Retreat immediately. Only by leaving the Supreme Profound Ice Pool might there be a chance for remedy."

"My thanks for the warning." Eldrin Chen clasped his hands in a respectful salute before speaking. "I shall enter the ice pool for cultivation today. Should any unforeseen events occur within the Purple Realm, I would be grateful if you, Fellow Daoist, would inform me."

The opportunity to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body lay directly before him. Naturally, Eldrin Chen was unwilling to delay any further.

With that, he strode into the waters of the Supreme Profound Ice Pool and began his cultivation of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body.

The Supreme Profound Ice Pool truly lived up to its reputation as the world's most frigid water. The moment Eldrin Chen stepped into it, a bone-piercing cold invaded his very marrow.

This supremely cold water, while not as violently overbearing as the Tribulation Lightning Pool, possessed the power to freeze all things in heaven and earth. Its chill was pervasive and unending, making its destructive potential in no way inferior.

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body was astonishingly formidable, akin to a blazing furnace. Even as it withstood this all-freezing, ultimate cold, it suffered not the slightest injury. Instead, it provoked a billowing plume of white steam.

"The waters of the Supreme Profound Ice Pool gather the ultimate cold Qi [the vital energy that flows through all living things] of the far north, serving as the source of the world's deepest chill," the voice explained. "A Nascent Soul Cultivator would be frozen solid within moments. Even a Demigod Ancestor, if they entered, would suffer frostbite and perish within a few days."

"Once you are in the pool, if you sense anything amiss, do not stubbornly persist. There may yet be a chance for remedy if you exit the Supreme Profound Ice Pool in time."

"My thanks for the warning." Eldrin Chen clasped his hands in a respectful salute once more. "I shall enter the ice pool for cultivation today. Should any unforeseen events occur within the Purple Realm, I would be grateful if you, Fellow Daoist, would inform me."

The Supreme Profound Ice Pool lived up to its name as the world's most frigid water. The moment Eldrin Chen stepped into it, a bone-piercing chill invaded his very marrow.

This water, the epitome of cold, lacked the domineering ferocity of the Tribulation Lightning Pool, yet it possessed a glacial power capable of freezing all creation. Its chill was pervasive and enduring, its lethality in no way inferior.

Even as it withstood this all-freezing, ultimate cold Qi [the vital energy that flows through all living things], it sustained not the slightest injury.
