Chapter 1880: Chapter 1880: What a Coincidence
Hoo...
The cold wind howled around.
The violent ice storm gang wind covered a hundred miles in range and blew continuously.
"Hiss." Xiao Yi let out a breath of cold air, tightening his wide robe.
In the howling wind, he actually felt a bit chilly.
Bang...
A stream of poison power gathered in Xiao Yi’s hand.
Hoo...
The cold gang wind blew past, causing the poison power to sway for several moments.
Once the gang wind blew over.
The poison power in Xiao Yi’s hand remained unchanged, still intensely black, exuding a terrifying toxic aura.
Yet, Xiao Yi knew very well that this poison power was now useless.
This potent toxin seemed unchanged on the outside.
But in reality, the venom inside had long turned into ice particles and then automatically annihilated.
The gang wind that blew past was like a cold soul-devouring ghost.
Ahead, the silhouette of the Jingzhe Sword had already vanished.
No, it hadn’t vanished; it had long fallen from high above to the ground.
Xiao Yi’s figure flashed as he descended from above.
The Jingzhe Sword was already a corpse.
The corpse remained intact, its facial expression just as indifferent as before death.
But with Xiao Yi’s perception, within the body of Jingzhe Sword, all internal organs, limbs, and every piece of flesh and blood had turned to powder.
Behind the Jingzhe Sword stood a towering tree.
Likewise, the tree’s surface was undamaged.
But with a light flick of Xiao Yi’s finger on the tree’s trunk, with a swish... the entire tree instantly turned into ice particles and powder.
"Ice Storm Devouring Soul, indeed formidable." Xiao Yi secretly marveled.
Ice Venerate Sacred Pattern Technique, Soul Thought Technique, Ice Storm Devouring Soul, these were three techniques Xiao Yi had obtained from Ice Venerable’s spiritual sense back in the day.
And among them, Ice Storm Devouring Soul, being the strongest soul skill of Ice Venerable, was a powerful technique Xiao Yi regretted not being able to cultivate.
The reason was that the Ice Phoenix Sword couldn’t cultivate ice attribute soul power.
No, to be precise, it was cultivated, but then automatically absorbed.
Therefore, Xiao Yi never had ice attribute elemental power to perform the Ice Storm Devouring Soul.
Until he obtained a large quantity of ’Soul Pills’ from the Golden Soul Hall Master, Xiao Yi found a way to perform it.
Simply put, Soul Pills are the elixirs of soul masters.
They are akin to the usual primordial power elixirs for martial artists.
Ordinary primordial power elixirs can be taken during martial artist combat to quickly replenish primordial power.
Whereas Soul Pills are elixirs used by soul masters to replenish soul power.
Yet Soul Pills are exceedingly rare, created by a Master of the Main Hall from Soul Hall’s ancient times.
And the pill recipe for Soul Pills has always been kept in the Soul Hall Main Hall.
Even Medicine Venerate Hall doesn’t have it.
Only those above the rank of deacon in Soul Hall are entitled to claim a certain quantity of Soul Pills monthly at the Main Hall or branch halls.
Ordinary soul masters must exchange task points for them.
Before, Xiao Yi also contemplated Soul Pills.
If he wanted, he could easily exchange with soul masters or Hall Masters of Soul Hall.
As long as the offer was high enough, even though Soul Pills are incredibly precious to soul masters, some would be willing to exchange.
However, in past times, Xiao Yi himself lacked cultivation items, so he didn’t go for it.
He had no doubt that this profound soul skill Ice Storm Devouring Soul would require a massive amount of soul power.
Thus, too few Soul Pills were useless.
Before, he let go of the idea.
Now that he’s in Soul Hall, it’s a different story.
He joined Soul Hall partly because of the Soul Pills.
Xiao Yi took out a Soul Pill, swallowed it, and carefully sensed it.
The Soul Pill entered his stomach, quickly transforming into soul power within the Small World.
But simultaneously, the Ice Phoenix Sword was swiftly absorbing this soul power.
Xiao Yi sighed inwardly and dispelled his perception.
The soul power would be automatically absorbed as the force to repair the cracks in the Ice Phoenix Sword.
In other words, Xiao Yi couldn’t take these elixirs in advance since they’d all be absorbed by the Ice Phoenix Sword.
These Soul Pills could only be used during combat, ingested rapidly in an instant, and have all the soul power burst out in that moment.
Xiao Yi glanced at the Universe Ring in his hand, where originally ten bottles of Soul Pills now only five remained.
The consumption for performing Ice Storm Devouring Soul was indeed massive.
However, its power was equally terrifying.
Xiao Yi looked at the ice storm gang wind now covering hundreds of miles around him and took another breath of cold air.
Soul skills need to be performed with a Martial Soul.
Ice Storm Devouring Soul is the strongest soul skill of Ice Venerable.
Coupled with the strongest Martial Soul Ice Phoenix Sword within Xiao Yi’s body, if he had enough soul power, its power...
Xiao Yi didn’t even doubt that if he had enough Soul Pills at the time of the Blood Moon Formation, it wouldn’t have been difficult to kill those four old Mirror Flower Water Moon fellows ten times over.
"If only I could get the pill recipe for Soul Pills... tsk tsk." Xiao Yi mused, laughing.
Of course, it’s just a thought.
The Soul Pills’ pill recipe is within the Soul Hall Main Hall.
Dare to touch it, and await the endless pursuit from soul masters and Soul Hall.
Xiao Yi shook his head, took the Universe Ring from the Jingzhe Sword’s hand, and flew away controlling the air.
This devastating hundred-mile ice storm gang wind probably needs to blow for several days before dissipating; Xiao Yi didn’t bother with it.
...
Several days later.
In the high sky, Xiao Yi transformed into a black stream of light, flying swiftly.
"Seems like I’m about to leave the central region." Xiao Yi said to himself, pondering.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Xiao Yi frowned, gazing directly below.
Below lay a dense mountain forest.
Whoosh...
Xiao Yi’s silhouette, like a silent ghost, descended quietly.
The figure hid in the shadows.
Ahead, several dozen strange martial artists in black robes were gathered.
In front of these black robe martial artists was another man in a black robe, seemingly scolding something displeasedly.
That person was an acquaintance.
None other than the Poison Robe.
The world is truly small; Xiao Yi didn’t expect that while on his way to attend Ye Liu’s wedding, it turned into a formidable journey and he kept encountering familiar faces.
Ahead.
"What?" the Poison Robe’s tone, cold and filled with extreme dissatisfaction.
"They escaped again?"
"This is the second escape by Heavenly Hidden Academy disciples,..."
The Poison Robe’s tone grew increasingly ominous.
In his sinister eyes, a ghost light flickered.
The evil cultivators showed panic, kneeling down on one knee, "Protector, please calm your anger."
"That Gu Feifan is extremely powerful, and now even general elders may not be his match."
"Hmph, a bunch of useless." The Poison Robe snorted coldly.
One by one, the evil cultivators lowered their heads, not daring to breathe heavily.
Crack crack...
The Poison Robe’s fists clenched, making cracking sounds, "This is something personally entrusted by Miss Shui, it mustn’t go wrong."
"The Protector will have to act personally..."
"Hmm? Who?" The Poison Robe suddenly stared coldly, looking towards a tree not far away.
Xiao Yi’s silhouette slowly emerged.
As he walked, under the wide black robe, Xiao Yi also wondered silently, was it Shui Ninghan again?
And a few days ago, the Heavenly Hidden Academy team was attacked by evil cultivators, clearly not by chance but rather a plot by Evil Lord Mansion.
"Who are you?" The Poison Robe squinted his eyes.
In the Poison Robe’s mind, a sense of shock surged.
This black-robed figure, how long had he been hiding in the shadows?
With his strength, it took this long to discover him?
In fact, what the Poison Robe didn’t know was that if Xiao Yi didn’t want it, neither the Poison Robe nor those evil cultivators would ever have found him.
Under the Ghost Mask’s concealing aura and Xiao Yi’s skillful stealth, not even an average Legendary Expert could detect him.
But Xiao Yi, himself, made a sound and walked out.
...
The first update.
