Chapter 795 : Inheritance of the Frozen Soul

This time, Lila [the young girl] obtained a truly immense opportunity, receiving the complete Immortal Path Lineage [the teachings and legacy of an immortal] from the [a powerful being from a bygone era].

Among the many treasures, the Nine Strands of Immortal Energy [nine strands of pure energy from an immortal] were completely exhausted by her, but three portions of the Frost Soul Divine Water [divine water imbued with the essence of frost and soul] remained.

The Snow Lotus Seed [seed of a mystical snow lotus] was also integrated into her Immortal Embryo [the nascent form of an immortal's foundation]. However, this object contained profound Frost Soul Path Principles [the fundamental laws of the Frost Soul cultivation path], making comprehension extremely difficult. It was likely she would only gain the ability to fully refine it upon reaching the Great Perfection stage of the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] realm.

Regardless, with Lila's cultivation now complete and her foundation perfected, her future Path [the journey of cultivation] would be smooth sailing.

Thinking this, Eldrin Chen spoke, "Since you have now inherited the Immortal Path Lineage, we should go out and reunite with the others, to lend them our aid."

"Wait a moment longer."

But at that moment, Lila shook her head. She then channeled her magic power, conjuring an illusory light screen that showed Path Void [the mysterious cultivator].

Behind the ethereal light screen, within a patch of dense mist, two figures stood waiting. They were none other than Patriarch Wang and Glacier Old Demon.

"It's them!"

Eldrin Chen's expression shifted. He understood immediately—they were waiting outside, poised to ambush them the moment they emerged. Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio - novel . com.

At this thought, a chill settled in the gazes of the group. Exquisite Jiang [the wife of Eldrin Chen] spoke with an icy tone, "For Patriarch Wang [a powerful cultivator] and Glacier Old Demon [a malevolent cultivator] to gather together... it seems they are lying in wait specifically for us."

Verdant Consort [a powerful female cultivator] also wore a grave expression. She immediately stated, "Both of them are Primordial Spirit [a high cultivation realm representing the spiritual core] cultivators who have walked their path for many years. The four of us are likely no match for them."

A sense of belated fear washed over them. Fortunately, Lila [a young girl with special perception] had obtained a legacy that allowed her to see through the obscuring effects of the Immortal-Bewildering Mist [a mystical fog that confounds immortal senses]. Otherwise, caught off-guard by an ambush from two Primordial Spirit experts, they would have surely suffered a severe setback.

With this in mind, Eldrin Chen [the protagonist, a skilled cultivator] turned to Lila and asked, "What of the others? Can you locate them?"

"Let me try."

So saying, Lila channeled her spiritual power once more, sensing for the positions of the others within the vast Immortal Mansion [a celestial palace or dwelling].

Several images flickered into view. The Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace [a female sect leader] was busy unraveling the restrictive formations guarding an Artifact Refining Great Hall [a grand hall for crafting magical treasures]. Meanwhile, Kunpeng Demon Sage [a mighty demonic cultivator] was assaulting the defenses of a Treasure Vault [a repository for precious items], and Long River Path Lord [a venerable path cultivator] was exploring within a Spirit Herb Garden [a garden cultivating spiritually potent plants].

Not far away, emerging from a side chamber shrouded in mist, was Sea-Calmer Path Master [a path master known for his calm demeanor]. His face was radiant with satisfaction, clearly having obtained a precious and extraordinary opportunity.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen declared, "Sea-Calmer Path Master is merely one hundred thousand Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] from us. If we go to rendezvous with him now and fly at full speed, it would take but a moment."

"A pity there are so many Formation [magical arrays and barriers] and patches of Immortal-Bewildering Mist within this Immortal Mansion. I fear we might miss him with the slightest misstep."

"Do not worry. I have already obtained the incantation to control the Immortal Mansion's Formation [a defensive or offensive array powered by spiritual energy]."

As Lila spoke, she explained that this Immortal Mansion was a legacy left by an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality], requiring at least Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] level cultivation to unleash its true power.

With her cultivation at the Great Perfection of Infant Soul [the peak stage of the Infant Soul cultivation realm], she could not activate the Immortal Mansion's Formation to its full potential. However, deactivating parts of the Formation and retracting the Immortal-Bewildering Mist [a mystical fog that confounds immortals] within it was well within her capabilities.

She channeled the power of the Formation. Instantly, a cloud-patterned brocade kerchief high upon the Heavenly Vault [the celestial dome or sky] shone with radiant light, gathering the vast sea of mist and revealing the colossal Immortal Mansion, spanning hundreds of thousands of Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters].

"Go!"

In the blink of an eye, the four of them summoned their Escape Radiance [a flight technique manifesting as a beam of light] and shot towards the location of Sea-Calmer Path Master.

Patriarch Wang and Glacier Old Demon were momentarily stunned, then gave frantic chase. The supreme treasure of an Immortal Inheritance [a legacy of cultivation arts and treasures left by an immortal] was right before their eyes—a chance at the very pinnacle of the Dao. They would never let it slip away.

The Glacier Old Demon immediately made his move, unleashing his Innate Divine Ability [a powerful innate supernatural skill], 'Frost Soul Mystic Light Escape'.

This 'Frost Soul Mystic Light Escape' was a supreme Great God Ability [a divine ability of the highest order] of Primordial Solar Grade [a supreme cultivation grade]. Its Escape Radiance speed far surpassed that of the others. A streak of mystic light shot past them, arriving before the group in a flash.

Having intercepted them, Glacier Old Demon waved his hand, summoning thirty-six Glacier Iron Corpse [animated corpses forged from glacial iron]. They arrayed themselves in a celestial formation, encircling the four cultivators.

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly. He immediately channeled his Heavenly River Positive Water Sword [a divine sword technique that harnesses the purifying power of celestial waters] and slashed forward. Yet, he discovered that even the formidable power of the Heavenly River Positive Water Sword was insufficient to destroy the Glacier Iron Corpse [a corpse puppet forged from glacial iron] with a single strike.

This was because the Glacier Iron Corpse represented the signature technique of Glacier Old Demon. Over the five thousand years since this demon had established his path, he had nurtured several dozen disciples who reached the Infant Soul Realm [the stage where a cultivator's nascent soul forms].

Once these disciples cultivated to the Infant Soul Realm, most were cast by Glacier Old Demon into the marrow veins of the Eternal Glacier [a glacier of unimaginable age and cold] to freeze to death.

After their spiritual souls and physical bodies froze into a single, solidified mass, Glacier Old Demon would melt Fifth Rank Treasure Metal [a high-grade spiritual metal] into molten iron to encase the corpse. He would then repeatedly temper it with precious elixirs and his own glacial spiritual power, before placing it back within the glacier to refine away impurities using the frigid energy of the Eternal Glacier.

This process of melting and tempering was repeated seven times over a span of one thousand years before a single Glacier Iron Corpse could be considered successfully forged.

Once completed, the Glacier Iron Corpse possessed a nigh-indestructible nature. It feared neither Immortal Sword [a sword of immortal grade] nor Spiritual Treasure [an enchanted artifact], and was impervious to erosion by water or scorching by fire.

If deployed within the Heavenly Fiend Corpse Refining Grand Formation [a grand formation that refines corpses with fiendish power], even a Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a cultivator whose primordial spirit has fully formed and comprehended a Path] could potentially be trapped and slain.

Now, witnessing thirty-six of these iron corpses moving to encircle them and activate the formation, even Eldrin Chen's expression shifted.

His face instantly turned grave. "Hold them off," he commanded decisively. "I will break the formation."

As his words fell, Eldrin Chen summoned forth the Four Symbols Divine Thunder [a divine thunder technique embodying the power of the four celestial beasts] and unleashed it against one of the Glacier Iron Corpse. The blast caused its aura to dim significantly. Seizing the moment, he once again channeled the Heavenly River Positive Water Sword and brought it down in a decisive slash.

Naturally, the Glacier Old Demon would not allow him to succeed. He summoned a small mountain forged from Frost Soul [the condensed essence of glacial cold and spiritual frost] and hurled it down.

The treasure expanded with the wind, swelling in an instant to a size that blotted out the sky and sun, descending like a Primordial Era glacier intent on crushing everything beneath it.

"The Glacier Immortal-Suppressing Seal."

In that fleeting moment, Eldrin Chen recognized the origin of this treasure.

This object was the Glacier Old Demon's foundational treasure, the very artifact upon which his path was built. In ages past, to forge it, the demon had not hesitated to sever half of an ancient glacier, then refine it with endless streams of icy Demonic Fiendish Energy [a malevolent, corrupting energy born from demonic realms] to complete its creation.

The seal possessed weight beyond measure, capable of suppressing mountains and rivers. While its Slaughter [killing or destructive techniques] capabilities might not match those of the Primordial Solar Immortal Sword, in terms of raw, crushing power, it ranked among the very pinnacle of Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [powerful artifacts forged with the essence of the primordial sun].

This treasure, when paired with the entangling and trapping prowess of the Glacier Iron Corpse [a powerful, frozen undead entity], created a truly formidable synergy. Even a Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a cultivator who has mastered their primordial spirit and commands a profound understanding of the Dao] would be reluctant to engage them lightly.

"Hold him back!"

In that split second of lightning-fast action, Exquisite Jiang and Verdant Consort immediately intervened. They summoned the Azure Dragon Stirring Sea Sword and the Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword, unleashing their power to suppress the descending Glacier Immortal-Suppressing Seal, barely managing to halt its devastating fall.

Yet, that momentary delay was all Patriarch Wang needed to close the distance. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he simultaneously summoned not one, but two Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts of significant power] and sent them crashing down with overwhelming force.

One was a small golden serpent-shaped sword, the other was the Profound Soul Pearl.

That small sword was named the Gold and Jade Wandering Snake Sword, the Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact bound to its owner's life force] of Patriarch Wang, and also a formidable Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a treasure forged from the essence of the primordial sun].

As Patriarch Wang made his move, the Azure Abyss Sword in Eldrin Chen's hand instantly awakened on its own. With unparalleled sharpness, it clashed and tangled with the Gold and Jade Wandering Snake Sword.

Lila acted at the same moment, channeling the Void-Suppressing Vase to block the Profound Soul Pearl, buying Eldrin Chen the crucial moment he needed to strike.

"*Clang!*"

The edge of the Heavenly River Positive Water Sword [a sword technique manifesting the purifying waters of the celestial river] was utterly peerless. With a resounding *clang*, it cleaved one of the Glacier Iron Corpse [an undead construct forged from glacial iron] in two, tearing open a gap in their prison.

"Go!"

A flicker of hope crossed Eldrin Chen's face. He immediately pulled his companions, ready to fly through the newly opened breach.

But at that very moment, Glacier Old Demon let out a sinister cackle. With a wave of his hand, he summoned another Glacier Iron Corpse to slam down into the gap, sealing it shut once more. Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio . novel . com.
