I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 541: Chapter 312: Nine Yin and Nine Yang Nine Lives Scripture (Part 2)

The momentum of cultivating the Nine Lives Scripture is truly immense. Even though Qin Yuesheng is now a Grandmaster, he still finds it extremely strenuous. If he wants to practice the Nine Lives Scripture to perfection and achieve the Nine Lives Mark, it might not be so easy.

However, there’s no need to think so far ahead for now. Having rapidly become a Grandmaster with the help of the Golden Core, while also possessing both Nine Yin and Nine Yang Inner Strengths, Qin Yuesheng’s current power level is enough to dominate the world. Nowadays, he can come and go freely in Chang’an, able to go anywhere he pleases.

Putting away the Mountain Ghost Pearl, Qin Yuesheng was planning to activate the mechanism to open the stone door when he suddenly noticed something inside the mountain.

With the Biluo Eye, there is no darkness in the world, so Qin Yuesheng could easily see a passage extending downwards in the depths of the mountain.

"Hmm? Is there some mechanism here?" Qin Yuesheng stepped forward, every step like an Immortal walking on clouds, treading the air above the ground, heading towards the passage.

The interior of the passage was extremely uneven, evidently not naturally formed. It looked as though someone had forcibly hammered it out with a sharp tool.

Qin Yuesheng sped several hundred feet deep, and the ground began to freeze over, with thick frost and fog wafting from the depths of the passage, making Qin Yuesheng frown.

Central Plains is not a frigid place, and it’s even less likely underground, unless it’s some sort of precious land, otherwise, how could there be such a freezing anomaly?

Going deeper by dozens of feet, the cold in the air was dense enough to obscure vision. Qin Yuesheng immediately activated his Nine Yang Inner Strength, causing nine Little Red Suns to instantly appear at his nine major acupoints, radiating intense heat to counter the cold air rushing towards him.

Tappa! Tappa! Tappa! Tappa!

After a hundred steps, a massive ice mound suddenly appeared in Qin Yuesheng’s view. This ice mound was entirely made of azure clear ice, with no frost patterns on the surface, allowing one to see into the depths of the mound at a glance.

Seeing it clearly, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

At the center of the ice mound was encased a half-body.

This person looked the same as any normal human, but their meridians and flesh were entirely deep blue, resembling sapphires. His eyes were tightly shut, and it seemed that he had long been dead, yet for some reason, Qin Yuesheng felt as though if disturbed, he might awaken at any moment, opening his eyes.

Seeing this half-bodied man, Qin Yuesheng instinctively recalled the woman he saw frozen in ice in an island ruin before.

He wondered if there was any connection between the two.

Placing his hand on the ice mound’s surface, with a bit of pressure from Qin Yuesheng, the entire mound began to tremble. Cracks started spreading from where his palm lay.

The spreading grew faster and bigger, unable to withstand the force of Qin Yuesheng, a Grandmaster. Within three breaths, the ice mound was largely collapsed, turning into a field of ice shards.

The half-body trapped within fell to the ground, extremely rigid, still exuding cold air. It seemed the source of the anomaly in this place originated from this man.

Qin Yuesheng walked over the ice shards. Even though the body was only half intact, it still emitted a somewhat oppressive aura that made one feel heavy. This indicated that in life, this person must have been a peerless powerhouse.

Looking at him, Qin Yuesheng reached out to grab onto the man, intending to disassemble him to uncover his origins.

But just before his palm touched the man, when there was still about five inches left, something unexpected happened.

Buzz!

The man opened his eyes, with a ripple instantly radiating from them, spreading wide enough to fully impact Qin Yuesheng’s entire body.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Even with the nine Little Red Suns, Qin Yuesheng’s body was inevitably encased in a layer of several inches of thick ice.

"Mortal!" the man said coldly, reaching directly for Qin Yuesheng’s ankle.

Just like when he met the mysterious woman the other day, as soon as this man made his move, Qin Yuesheng felt as though he was being pricked by countless needles, as if thorned from behind.

However, the current Qin Yuesheng was not who he was then. Now a Grandmaster, the sense of threat he felt was significantly reduced and not insurmountable.

"Even without legs, you dare to be so arrogant. Let me break your arms," Qin Yuesheng exclaimed, promptly pointing with both fingers of his left and right hands, sharp Qi formed by the combination of Nine Yin and Nine Yang Inner Strength instantly piercing through the man’s hands.

The wounded man showed no reaction, as if the injuries were not his own body.

His body suddenly gushed out a massive amount of icy air, which quickly formed into an ice dragon, its massive claws crashing heavily towards Qin Yuesheng’s position.

Qin Yuesheng raised one palm, a Little Red Sun slowly rotating on it, meeting the ice dragon’s giant claws head-on.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The familiar combat between ice and fire, yet Qin Yuesheng’s Nine Yang Inner Strength was slightly superior, melting through the dragon’s claws, evaporating the entire dragon limb thoroughly.

Upon seeing this, the man’s expression finally changed.

This mortal’s strength before him was enough to make him take notice.

After exchanging a few moves, Qin Yuesheng had already determined the strength difference between them was indeed not vast. However, he didn’t forget that this person was missing a part of his body and had no idea for how long he had been frozen here.

Even so, this man still possessed strength that warranted Qin Yuesheng’s attention. This indicated that at his peak, he must have been incredibly powerful.

On par with that mysterious woman.

"What is going on? Why do these people exist in this world? Who are they?" Filled with questions, Qin Yuesheng directly hurled a Little Red Sun at the man’s face.

Since the man was the source of the icy conditions here, using the Nine Yang Inner Strength to suppress him was the most effective solution with half the effort.

Though the man had lost his lower body, his movements were exceptionally nimble. He slapped his palms on the ground, instantly rising into the air.

He slapped his right hand on his chest, causing a swirling icy pattern to emerge. From his chest, he pulled out a long sword entirely made of ice.

Qin Yuesheng was all too familiar with the sword’s appearance, exclaiming, "Cold Frost Winter Snow Sword?!"

Back in Cyan Yang City, Jiang Taicang helped Shen Lang open the Celestial Demon Heart Realm, where Qin Yuesheng seized the Celestial Demon Evil Blade from the duo.

At that time, apart from the Celestial Demon Evil Blade, the Celestial Demon’s remains held a Divine Soldier, the Cold Frost Winter Snow Sword.

Until now, Qin Yuesheng still believed these Divine Soldiers were unique. He never imagined that the man exuding winter-like chill would casually pull a brand new one from his chest.

Could it be that the Cold Frost Winter Snow Sword was created by his internal ice force in an instant?

Despite having never heard of someone with such a capability, Qin Yuesheng was intrigued by the man’s origins.

Holding the Cold Frost Winter Snow Sword, the man immediately slashed out, sending a snow and ice Sword Qi several tens of yards long directly towards Qin Yuesheng.

Maintaining a composed expression, Qin Yuesheng, although startled by the appearance of a new Cold Frost Winter Snow Sword, remained on full alert. With Nine Yang Inner Strength, he transformed his energy into a Palm Qi and struck back.

A massive flame Palm Qi rose from below, colliding with the snow and ice Sword Qi. On impact, a huge explosion resounded throughout the area.

BOOM!!!

Shockwaves spread out in all directions.
