"Little Fellow..."
"Your spirit is quite good!"
"Then let's begin!"
The Heavenly Cold Demon Saint burst into laughter, and then, with a slight exertion of his power, the ten profound ice objects that had been swirling around him instantly flew into the air, one after another.
These were precisely the ten profound ice objects from the profound ice Ranking mentioned by the Heavenly Cold Demon Saint, listed as follows: [Rankings begin from tenth place]
profound frost soul: Formed from ten thousand years of frost, its entire body is covered in fine, shattered profound frost. Upon touch, an instant chill penetrates the bones, as if it harbors an unmelting winter spirit.
vast abyss profound crystal: Mined from the depths of the vast abyss, its icy body is transparent like crystal, with ancient water patterns hidden within. Even light passing through carries the chilling gloom of the deep sea.
Eternal Cold Jade: A profound ice that has existed since ancient times. When struck, it emits a clear, melodious sound like jade clashing. Every wisp of its coldness is enveloped in the stillness of time.
Nine Nether Ice Marrow: Born in the deepest, most extreme cold of the Nine Nethers, its ice core is as pure white as marrow. Its coldness can freeze Qi and blood, and even the Soul seems to be suppressed by it.
Silent Night Profound Soul: A profound ice as dark as a night shadow. At night, it emits a faint blue, cold light. Its chill harbors the solitude of ten thousand years, undisturbed by anyone.
Cold Abyss Ancient Crystal: An ancient ice formed in a thousand-year-old cold abyss. Its icy body is embedded with fragments of ancient ice crystals, retaining its original sharp coldness even after ten thousand years.
profound ice Dragon Bone: A profound ice shaped like the skeleton of a giant Dragon. Its patterns are as strong as bone joints, and its coldness is as heavy as a mountain, difficult to melt even when scorched by fierce flames.
Frost Sky Profound Marrow: An ice marrow seemingly fallen from a frosty sky. Its surface is covered with cloud-like frost flowers. Its coldness can condense surrounding water vapor, forming a miniature frost sky illusion.
Ten Thousand Year Cold Essence: A beautiful jade-like ice refined over ten thousand years. Its icy body is warm to the touch yet hides a bone-piercing chill, simultaneously resembling warm jade and a cold blade, contradictory yet harmonious.
Profound Nether Ice Soul: An ice Soul that combines the profound deep sea and extreme cold. Its icy body changes in brightness according to external temperature, and its coldness can draw surrounding water vapor to condense into profound ice.
The Heavenly Cold Demon Saint gently tapped his fingertip, and a blue light surged from it into the depths of Xiao Yi's Soul.
This quickly allowed Xiao Yi to clearly understand the ten profound ice objects on the profound ice Ranking!
"Little Fellow, are you ready...?"
The Heavenly Cold Demon Saint asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Yi nodded, and then the Heavenly Cold Demon Saint formally bestowed his Legacy!
He passed on the ten profound ice objects, which were the culmination of his life's efforts, to Xiao Yi... The next second, the ten profound ice objects cut through the Void Realm in response, appearing beside Xiao Yi and condensing the space around him into a cold abyss!
Xiao Yi stood in the center of the cold abyss, his body surrounded by surging Profound Qi forming a light blue protective barrier.
When the first "profound frost soul" pressed against his palm, fine, shattered profound frost instantly climbed onto his hand.
Xiao Yi couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, the cold Qi piercing his Meridians like needles.
The next second, Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly brightened. Profound power flowed along the ice Soul's patterns, crushing the ten-thousand-year frost into threads of coldness and incorporating them into his Meridians.
The sudden profound ice aura caused Xiao Yi's body to tremble slightly!
After all, this kind of coldness was the complete opposite of the scorching heat of the abnormal flame at that time, but both caused extreme pain to the refiner... However, at this moment, the Emperor-level Cultivation Technique, the Origin Primordial Myriad Transformation Method, previously passed down by Emperor Xiao, once again played its role...
Because this profound ice was also naturally formed between heaven and earth, and it was the purest energy between heaven and earth...
As long as it was a pure force naturally formed between heaven and earth, the Cultivation Technique created by Emperor Xiao would be able to function!
It helped Xiao Yi refine it and, through this energy, cultivate the so-called Source Qi within Xiao Yi's body!
So, when Xiao Yi successfully refined the tenth-ranked profound ice Soul from the profound ice Ranking, thanks to the Emperor-level Cultivation Technique, Xiao Yi did not suffer as much pain!
The entire refining process was relatively smooth!
Seeing this scene, even the Heavenly Cold Demon Saint couldn't help but be slightly stunned, somewhat shocked: "This person is truly chosen by heaven..."
"The refining process was so smooth!"
At the same time, the refining process continued!
The "vast abyss profound crystal" floated in front of Xiao Yi.
Its transparent icy body reflected Xiao Yi's profile, as the deep sea's chilling gloom washed over him.
Xiao Yi opened his mouth and inhaled it, the ice crystal transforming into a spring-like cold Qi within his body, flushing away the stagnation in his Meridians, and even his hair was covered with a thin layer of frost.
The moment Xiao Yi's fingertip touched the "Eternal Cold Jade," a clear, melodious ice chime resounded throughout the cold abyss.
The cold Qi, imbued with the stillness of time, seeped into his bones and blood. Xiao Yi's veins bulged on his forehead, yet he still gritted his teeth and persevered...
As soon as the "Nine Nether Ice Marrow" appeared, the surrounding air condensed into fine ice particles.
Xiao Yi held the pure white ice marrow in his palm, closed his eyes, and guided his Qi. The ice marrow transformed into a cold current that shot directly into his Dantian.
Xiao Yi's entire body trembled violently, but then a ball of faint blue cold mist rose from his Dantian, firmly locking away the Soul-freezing cold Qi.
When the "Silent Night Profound Soul's" faint blue cold light enveloped Xiao Yi's body, Xiao Yi's surroundings plunged into complete darkness.
Yet, Xiao Yi seemed to resonate with the solitude. He raised his hand and pressed the ice Soul to his glabella. The cold Qi seeped into his Sea of Consciousness through his glabella, and a cold light, originating from the profound Soul, flickered in his eyes.
Subsequently, the sharpness of the "Cold Abyss Ancient Crystal," the heaviness of the "profound ice Dragon Bone," the illusion of the "Frost Sky Profound Marrow," the contradictory coldness of the "Ten Thousand Year Cold Essence," and the changing brightness and darkness of the "Profound Nether Ice Soul" all surged into Xiao Yi's body.
Once all the profound ice had entered his body, the cold mist around Xiao Yi suddenly exploded, then instantly retracted back into his body.
At this moment, even Xiao Yi's breath carried a coldness capable of condensing mist.
Because he witnessed Xiao Yi refining the tenth profound ice Soul in such an instant, the Heavenly Cold Demon Saint decided to let the remaining nine profound ice objects enter Xiao Yi's body simultaneously!
This would, on one hand, accelerate the refining and Legacy process, and at the same time, the Heavenly Cold Demon Saint also wanted to see Xiao Yi's potential and talent... to see if he had truly chosen the right person for his Legacy...
However, at this moment, because of the nine profound ice objects entering his body simultaneously, Xiao Yi's every breath carried a biting coldness!
So, in just a blink of an eye, a faint layer of ice mist formed all over Xiao Yi's body and within his Meridians!
This trapped Xiao Yi completely within an ice sculpture...
But at this moment, the Origin Primordial Myriad Transformation Method was also progressing with the passage of time, helping Xiao Yi refine the nine profound ice objects!
Xiao Xuan watched the scene before him. Although he had some worries, he remained silent...
After all, this was the path Xiao Yi had chosen for himself. Success or failure depended entirely on Xiao Yi!
...As time passed, Xiao Yi refined within that ice sculpture for almost half a year...
As the previous owner of the ten profound ice objects, the Heavenly Cold Demon Saint could sense that all ten profound ice objects had already been refined by Xiao Yi...
"This refining speed is truly terrifying..."
"It seems I have not entrusted this to the wrong person..."
"This child is indeed the successor I desired..."
The Heavenly Cold Demon Saint's eyes were filled with satisfaction!
After all, waiting here for ten thousand years, he had finally found the right person... A moment later, the ice sculpture encasing Xiao Yi slowly cracked open...
Xiao Yi reappeared before Xiao Xuan and the Heavenly Cold Demon Saint, but at this moment, Xiao Yi had still not awakened...
His eyes remained tightly closed, but one could feel that Xiao Yi's aura had undergone a terrifying increase!
From his initial Four-Star Dou Zun cultivation, it was continuously climbing.
