Chapter 1114: Chapter 498: Five Elements Divine Fist
"For you all, taking this elixir can at least elevate you a minor realm!"
Li Yunjing finally said.
"What!"
"Breaking through a minor realm?"
"This is practically a Treasure Pill! Even stronger than a ’Realm-Breaking Pill’!"
Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao were completely shocked. Only then did they understand the immense significance of the ’Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Pill’ for them.
In this place, elevating a minor realm is the difference between life and death!
In battle, if you can’t withstand an opponent, as long as you hold on for a while, taking the elixir can let you elevate a realm. You might even turn the tides and defeat the enemy!
Such a Treasure Pill was distributed by Li Yunjing to everyone, yet no one was willing to consume it.
"Yunjing, what about you?"
Yu Yunyi looked at Li Yunjing, asking worriedly.
"Don’t overthink this!"
Li Yunjing understood what Yu Yunyi meant. He chuckled lightly, stroked Yu Yunyi’s hair, and said with a smile, "’Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Pill’ has a similar effect to the ’Foundation Establishment Pill’, but it’s limited to the breakthrough of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Realm and cannot break through to the ’Golden Core Realm’!"
"I see!"
With Li Yunjing’s words, the three felt relieved, carefully storing away the ’Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Pill’.
With this elixir, they could save decades of time.
"The harvest here is not small, let’s continue to the Third Layer."
After explaining, Li Yunjing led everyone out of the ice tower, returning to the lakeside to search for the entrance to the Third Layer.
Just as the four of them were carefully searching along the ice lake’s edge, other cultivators who camped in the valley with them also entered the second layer.
Unfortunately, the opportunities had been taken by Li Yunjing’s group, leaving these people with few benefits other than being attacked by demon beasts.
As for other places within the ’Foundation Establishment Realm’ trial grounds, there were also cultivators distributed, and demon beasts from the outside world also came in seeking opportunities, obtaining some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures here and there.
Near the valley where the ’Celestial Ruins Secret Realm’ appeared, more cultivators were gathering, with large numbers beginning to enter the second light gate...
Gradually, the number of cultivators in the second light gate seemed to outnumber the Cold Ice Puppet Beasts.
The four, unaware of the outside situation, felt a sense of urgency in their hearts. This wasn’t a trial ground exclusive to them; there must be others coming.
At this moment, the four gazed steadily, continuously scanning the ice layers around them, seeking the path to the next layer.
"Could it be beneath the ice lake?"
Yu Yunyi asked.
Possessing the Top Grade Water Spirit Root, she was remarkably sensitive to the mutated Ice Element, faintly sensing something within the lake.
"Let’s go down then!"
Li Yunjing actually had the same thought. He pointed below the ice layer and shouted.
"Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!"
The ’Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword’ was continuously thrust into the ice layer on the lake’s surface by Li Yunjing.
This Divine Sword was incomparably sharp, splitting the thick ice as easily as cutting tofu, revealing the swirling, icy currents below.
As soon as the ice hole appeared, Cold Ice Qi emerged from the water, instantly forming layers of fine ice on Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao.
No one anticipated the lake water being this frigid!
Even a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator could be frozen by such ice!
"Humph! Follow me!"
With a thunderous roar, Li Yunjing was enveloped in blazing flames—this was the ’Nine Yang Fire’!
At this moment, Li Yunjing was shrouded in fire, as if a Fire God had descended.
"Enter the protection of my ’Nine Yang Fire’!"
Li Yunjing instructed, wrapping the three in his ’Nine Yang Fire’, breaking through the ice layer, and leaping into the icy lake water.
Upon entering the water, the ’Nine Yang Fire’ shield surrounding everyone emitted sizzling sounds, with flames violently swaying against the chilling lake water, like a candle flickering in the wind.
The lake water pricked through the shield’s gaps like countless icy needles.
Lv Ruoxi, Fu Chao found their teeth chattering uncontrollably, their skin turned cyanotic, and each breath felt like swallowing ice shards, stabbing pain into their lungs.
Only Yu Yunyi, possessing a Water Spirit Root, could somewhat adapt, but she too had to utilize her mana, desperately resisting this cold from invading her body.
The lake water was of an eerie dark blue, viscous like gel, carrying fine ice crystals with its flow, and upon contact with the shield, these crystals transformed into sharp ice spikes, gnawing away at the flames’ range.
"Incredible! The lake water itself is a treasure! What kind of ice-attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could this frigid water nurture?"
Seeing his companions in distress, Li Yunjing furrowed his brow, powered up, and the ’Nine Yang Fire’ surged intensely, even infused with some ’Samadhi True Fire’!
With the support of ’Samadhi True Fire’, the ’Nine Yang Fire’ blazed immensely, its scorching aura temporarily repelling the surrounding cold.
But soon, deeper lake currents surged, with ancient glacier-like cold, quickly suppressing the flames.
However, a balance was struck—the external icy waters couldn’t penetrate the ’Nine Yang Fire’ shield to affect those within.
As for Li Yunjing himself, he didn’t pay it much heed.
