Chapter 1607 : Falling Phoenix Ridge

Deep within the Falling Phoenix Ridge, powerful gusts of icy wind laden with Frostsoul Qi relentlessly assailed both the physical form and spiritual soul of Eldrin.

This level of glacial qi was exceptionally pure. For immortals cultivating the laws of frost, it represented the pinnacle of cultivation treasures. Were it to appear in the outside world, countless would fight tooth and nail to claim it.

But at this moment, countless streams of Ice Soul Qi came sweeping forth—that would be a true nightmare. Even an existence at the Great Perfection stage of the Earth Immortal realm, subjected to such a blast of Ice Soul Qi, would likely be frozen into an ice sculpture within a few days, their soul scattered and body perished.

Even Eldrin's Primordial Indestructible Body felt a dull ache under the relentless assault of the glacial qi, his limbs growing numb with creeping coldness.

"This place will do."

Sensing his flesh growing cold, Eldrin could not suppress the surge of elation within his heart.

He immediately sat down cross-legged and began drawing in vast amounts of Ice Soul Qi, harnessing the boundless glacial energy to temper his physical form.

This level of glacial soul energy was supremely yin and bone-chillingly cold, capable of inflicting immense damage upon an immortal's physical form. Even a Half-Step Celestial Immortal wouldn't dare linger within it for long.

Eldrin continuously drew upon the power of the Ice Soul, allowing its chilling energy to permeate his internal organs and bone marrow, ceaselessly freezing and purifying his immortal blood and viscera.

Throughout this process, Eldrin once again stirred the 5 deities within his body to radiate light, driving the chaotic mists to continuously merge and clash with them.

Thus, in the process of repeated tempering, the 5 divine beings—after refining the supreme blessed land—began to continuously purify the immense impurities they carried, growing ever more pristine.

Meanwhile, Eldrin's physical body grew increasingly formidable through the tempering process, and the essence of the 5 deities became ever more purified, granting him greater mastery over these 5 divine entities.

Thus, as time continued to flow unceasingly, 1 100 years passed, then another, until 3 1000 years had gone by. It was then that Eldrin slowly opened his eyes.

"The chill of the Frost Essence here no longer brings me any sense of pressure."

Eldrin murmured softly as he rose to his feet, allowing the boundless glacial essence to sweep over him. Yet his physical body registered no trace of cold.

He understood in his heart that the inner frost aura was not potent enough to pose any threat to a Celestial Immortal. With the current strength of his Primordial Chaos Unbreakable Body, he could no longer advance further by relying on this level of frost energy.

"My Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body still has immense room for improvement."

"The Path of Icy Veins Body Refinement has yet to reach its ultimate conclusion. It requires a more potent Frostsoul essence to achieve perfection."

Eldrin murmured to himself, then turned his gaze toward the core region of Phoenix-Fall Ridge.

The core region of Phoenix Fall Ridge was the very point where the primordial Ice Phoenix had descended. Within its depths lingered the embryonic form of the Ultimate Cold—the nascent Great Dao of Ice Soul. It was said that in the ancient past, even Celestial Immortals of immense power had met their demise there.

For Eldrin (Person Name), the heart of the Falling Phoenix Ridge remained far too perilous.

"Enough. Regardless, I must make the journey nonetheless."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, his voice barely a whisper, before finally steeling his resolve and stepping into the heart of Phoenix Fall Ridge.

At the very heart of Falling Phoenix Ridge, a terrifying glacial essence permeated the atmosphere. Boundless frost energy congealed between heaven and earth, so dense that not even a Celestial Immortal could tear through the void.

Eldrin made an attempt and discovered that the innate Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void could still be activated, though its power was significantly suppressed. The teleportation distance had been drastically reduced—he would need to channel its energy at least 10 consecutive times to successfully transport himself out of Phoenix Fall Ridge.

At this thought, Eldrin’s expression turned grave. He began to tread cautiously deeper into the Phoenix Fall Ridge.

To Eldrin's surprise, the depths of Phoenix Fall Ridge were eerily quiet. There were no powerful creatures formed from Ice Pith spirits as he had imagined—only the perpetual extreme cold that froze all things between heaven and earth.

Eldrin proceeded with utmost caution, securing a cultivation spot atop a ley line at the core region. There, he ceaselessly drew upon the glacial soul energy to temper his physical form.

In the blink of an eye, 10 1000 years had passed. Eldrin's Dao, tempered by the supremely powerful aura of glacial soul, had rendered his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body increasingly flawless and perfect.

Yet, just as the Chaos Undying Body was 1 final step away from completing the Frost Vein Tempering cultivation, Eldrin (Person Name) awoke from his secluded meditation.

"Not enough yet."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, a trace of regret flickering across his face.

The power of glacial essence here was already astonishingly formidable, almost equivalent to 10 top-tier Half-Step Celestial Immortals cultivating the Dao principles of ice. At the cost of depleting their own vital essence, they ceaselessly channeled glacial energy year-round to assist Eldrin in tempering his physical form.

Moreover, this process continued ceaselessly all year round, persisting for 10 1000 or even a 100 1000 years.

Such extreme cold and icy essence continuously assailed them; only a Celestial Immortal mighty expert could endure it. Yet even an existence of this level could withstand it only for a time—it would be impossible to persist for 10 1000 years.

Only Eldrin's Primordial Indestructible Body possessed immense resistance to all manner of aberrant energies. As long as the onslaught did not exceed the body's tolerance threshold, he would never truly face annihilation.

Yet even so, this Ice Soul Qi fell just short, preventing Eldrin from taking that final step.

"The quality is insufficient."

Eldrin murmured softly, finally grasping the reason why the ice vein cultivation method of the Primordial Indestructible Body had never been fully mastered.

His current cultivation of the Primordial Chaos Immortal Body's Ice Meridian, having absorbed a vast sea of glacial essence, could be considered nearly perfected. Yet, it still lacked that final half-step to true completion.

Because the Primordial Immortal Body was far too powerful, to achieve its ultimate and complete metamorphosis, it required the innate power of the Primal Chaos Realm’s Innate Ice Soul. Only this could allow him to thoroughly shatter his limits and take that final step.

Once this step succeeded, even a Celestial Immortal who cultivated the innate Dao principle of ice would find it difficult to pose a fatal threat to Eldrin.

"The core is now useless. We must still find the power of ice essence at the Celestial Immortal level."

Eldrin murmured softly, "The power of the Glacial Soul at the Celestial Immortal level is far too formidable. Even a Celestial Immortal expert, if caught unprepared with direct physical contact, would face grave injury—or even risk annihilation."

At this thought, Eldrin's expression turned exceedingly solemn as he pressed forward, seeking to uncover the power within Phoenix Fall Ridge that had reached the Celestial Immortal level.

Yet no matter how long he searched along the way, Eldrin still failed to locate any Sky Immortal-level Ice Soul Qi. A faint unease began to settle in his heart.

"Without the power of Ice Purity at the Celestial Immortal level... could it be that over hundreds of millions of years, the glacial essence here has gradually dissipated?"

"Or could it be that the Celestial-level Ice Soul essence, along with the Celestial-level rare treasures and artifacts here, had long been taken by the Celestial Ancient Immortals of the Vast Azure Immortal Realm?"

Eldrin murmured to himself, his gaze involuntarily growing solemn.

At this moment, he finally understood why no Celestial Immortal mighty figures had fallen in the Phoenix Fall Ridge for the past several kalpas.

At this thought, Eldrin’s heart grew still.

If he failed to complete the Ice Vein Tempering here, he would have to take the risk and venture into the 10 1000 Ghosts Chilling Abyss. Yet, that place ranked among the top 5 forbidden realms in the Qingcang Immortal Domain, scarcely less perilous than the 10 1000 Crows Forbidden Ground.
