Chapter 325: Raging Fire in His Chest (2/2)

Mo Wuji took out his Tian Ji Pole and struck against the ground.

An oppressive sound could be heard and there was not even a single crack on the white layer of ice underneath his foot. Over the thousand of years, any softer thing would have disintegrated into a void because of the coldness. Those that were left behind were the accumulation of ice.

Perhaps if he used his Scholar’s Heart to burn, he could burn a hole here.

However, Mo Wuji definitely dare not touch his Scholar’s Heart because that was the thing that was protecting Cen Shuyin’s body. The moment he took the Scholar’s Heart away, Cen Shuyin’s body might vanish from this extremely cold place.

Mo Wuji kept his Tian Ji Pole and started setting up defensive array around this place. The defensive array was not for himself but to defend Cen Shuyin’s body. As long as he continued circulating his 103 meridians with a slight trace of Scholar’s Heart continuing its spiritual circulation, he would not face any life threatening harm. He would at most suffer some tearing of the skin but Mo Wuji was already numbed to such pain.

This was the depth of the Extreme Frost Sea so even an expert of the True God Stage might not make it this far in without the aid of the Scholar’s Heart as well as the circulation of over 100 meridians.

The moment the defensive array was set up, Mo Wuji took out a huge pile of jade to help Cen Shuyin refined a jade coffin. Following which, Mo Wuji placed Cen Shuyin in the middle of the defensive array as he even crafted out all sorts of defensive ban on the coffin itself. Even the Scholar’s Heart was temporarily placed on top of the jade coffin.

After preparing this, he engraved an inscription on the jade coffin which showed, ‘Wife Cen Shuyin’s coffin, erected by Mo Wuji’.

…

The once extremely bustling Universal Hall had finally recovered its original state after a year had passed since the incident of trying to catch Mo Wuji.

Despite there were still some people who refused to give up and still head towards one of the Nine Extreme Realm, Extreme Frost Sea, to take a look but everyone knew that Mo Wuji was definitely not be able to come out alive.

There had not been a case where a True Lake Stage cultivator entered the Extreme Frost Sea and came out alive. It was still impossible no matter how talented Mo Wuji was to make it onto the Universal Board. The truth was that ever since Mo Wuji entered the Extreme Frost Sea for a month, his name had already fallen off the Universal Board.

There were currently no more Mo Wuji on the Universal Board. The genius that once caused such an uproar and commotion had long been obliterated from the crowd’s discussion.

…

Star King Mountain’s Yan Clan.

Ever since the incident one year ago when Yan Yangdong was killed, this was the second time the Yan Clan held such a solemn clan’s meeting. To be specific, this was to welcome a Yan Clan’s Grand-elder out from his closed doors cultivation.

Yan Tongqu was the first generation experts of the Yan Clan, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 2.

Even though Yan Tongqu was not the strongest in the Yan Clan and was in fact even slightly weaker than Yan Pingzhi, Yan Tongqu was the Yan Clan’s only water attributed Worldly Immortal expert.

”Ka ka!” In the Yan Clan’s strongest spiritual energy place, an immortal cave was opened up.

After an incense worth of time, a skinny man walked out of it. He nodded at the two disciples at the entrance of the immortal cave before suddenly appearing in the Yan Clan’s discussion hall in just one step.

Everyone in the hall stood up immediately including the highest cultivation level grand-elder, Yan Yang.

Yan Tongqu bowed to everyone before walking to the second seat from the left to sit down, ”I’ve already been made known of the incident and I’m willing to go to the Extreme Frost Sea.

Yan Qiren sighed and said, ”The coldness in the Extreme Frost Sea was simply too terrifying and Mo Wuji’s body would have disintegrated by now. To be able to find the three half moon keys there would not be so simple. Elder Tongqu’s closed door cultivations came to naught and because he has not stepped into Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, I am strongly against Elder Tongqu to head towards the Extreme Frost Sea alone.”

Everyone was clear that even though the water spiritual root and the ice spiritual root were from the same source, their difference were still almost as vast as the distance between heaven and earth. Perhaps the water spiritual root would be more suitable to enter the Extreme Frost Sea than the other attributes but there would certainly be a limit to how much cold he could withstand.

”Ugh, it’s a pity my Yan Clan didn’t have a higher cultivation expert with a water spiritual roots. Otherwise, why would we need Elder Tongqu to risk his life?” Another elder sighed out loud.

Yan Pingzhi, who was by the side, sounded out, ”Even though we say that the risk is huge for Elder Tongqu to go to the Extreme Frost Sea, this was an opportunity for the Yan Clan. If my Yan Clan was able to find the three half moon keys, no need for three, if we could find just one half moon key, our Yan Clan would not fall even after passing down to our descendants for over a thousand of years. If my Yan Clan could produce an Earthly Immortal because of this, it would not be completely impossible for us to stay in the Star King Mountain.

Yet another Yan Clan’s elder stood up and said, ”Xia Clan, Mou Clan and even some other sects have already sent people into the Extreme Frost Sea and their purpose would be to find the half moon keys. This half moon keys originally belonged to my Yan Clan so if my Yan Clan didn’t enter as well, we would simply be making the wedding dress for the others. [1]”

The crowd were all discussing and it was a difficult choice to make now so the first Grand-elder Yan Yang waved his hand to stop all discussion before saying, ”Tongqu’s cultivation was still slightly too low, let me go over instead.”

Yan Tongqu was kept in closed doors for 200 years and Yan Clan was preparing to let him out as a Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4 expert. A Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4 expert with his water attribute spiritual roots was definitely considered to be qualified to enter the Extreme Frost Sea. Who would have thought Yan Tongqu was not hardworking enough and after cultivating gor so long behind closed doors, he was only a Worldly Immortal Stage Level 2 expert when he came out.

Yan Tongqu took the initiative as he stood up and said, ”No matter what, the first Grand-elder must not go to the Extreme Frost Sea. The First Grand-elder is the Yan Clan’s stabilizing force and if anything were to happen to him, it would be hard to predict what would happen next. I have enough opportunity to advance with not alot of years left so I would be the most suitable to enter the Extreme Frost Sea.”

[1]: ‘Making the wedding dress for others’ is the direct translation from the raw and this means doing all the work for others but not actually benefiting from it
