Chapter 931 - 297: Calamity of Dao’s Collapse (2)

She had just gone along with her joke and played it out.

"Take these things with you."

"The Nine Yang Fire Refining Pill can help you resist some of the Extreme Yin Cold power of the Xuanzang Ice Flame."

"The effect of the Fiery Sun Shield Talisman is similar."

"Before going in later, first keep the Nine Yang Fire Refining Pill in your mouth. When the elixir’s medicinal power can no longer resist the Extreme Yin Cold Qi, activate this talisman."

"One pill plus three talismans should be almost enough."

"If both the elixir and talismans are exhausted and you still haven’t obtained the Xuanzang Ice Flame, do not take risks, retreat immediately."

Shen Chongzhen accepted the elixir and talismans, nodded with a smile.

Just as he was about to say something, the rotating blood cloud in the distance suddenly picked up speed.

Then, like a giant funnel, a large amount of blood-colored mist poured down from the clouds!

"It’s about to transform!"

Zhou Xuan murmured, and Shen Chongzhen beside her had already rushed out!

"Wait for me, I will definitely get the Nine Netherworld Ice Flame for you!"

The wind carried his voice, and a flash of worry crossed Zhou Xuan’s eyes as she watched his figure disappear into the blood-colored fog.

At the same time, in other directions around Zhili County, over a dozen figures also rushed into the blood-colored fog.

These figures were also gathered by Outer World Cultivators from the native cultivators of Yangnao Land.

Their target was also the Xuanzang Ice Flame.

Like the Samadhi True Fire, the Xuanzang Ice Flame is also a mystical treasure that can greatly enhance a cultivator’s power.

However, it is even rarer than the Samadhi True Fire.

After all, to cultivate the Samadhi True Fire, a cultivator only needs the right aptitude and corresponding Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, with a high chance of success.

Unlike the Samadhi True Fire, the Xuanzang Ice Flame does not require a substantial investment in materials for cultivation.

But it is a companion of the Earth Spirit Nether Soil, and not every minor world’s Earth Spirit Nether Soil can develop a Xuanzang Ice Flame.

This means the entire Cangmin Sea Region has at most seventy-two Xuanzang Ice Flames.

From this perspective, the value of the Xuanzang Ice Flame far surpasses that of the Samadhi True Fire.

This is one of the reasons why so many Outer World Cultivators risk descending to Yangnao Land before the path to it collapses.

Besides exploring some opportunities in Yangnao Land in advance, they also hope to get lucky and encounter a Xuanzang Ice Flame.

In the outer markets, a single Xuanzang Ice Flame can easily be exchanged for materials for cultivating the Samadhi True Fire or Profound Magnetic Divine Light three times over.

To those in urgent need, it might even be worth more.

After Shen Chongzhen rushed into that blood-colored fog, it was as if he had entered another world.

All around were endless, chilling screams, with aimless wandering ghosts drifting nearby.

Up close, he could feel a thick Evil Qi emanating from these ghosts.

The occasional gust of yin wind cut through the air, and the Extreme Yin Cold power in the wind could ignore a cultivator’s Protective Spiritual Power, acting directly on the flesh.

"Can’t use a Spiritual Power Shield, must use the Power of Realm to protect the body..."

Feeling a bit stiff from the yin wind, Shen Chongzhen immediately recalled Zhou Xuan’s earlier advice and released a faint Sword Intent externally.

Regarding Sword Dao, Shen Chongzhen’s talent was in no way inferior to his father, Shen Wen’an.

Also, at the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing, he had already cultivated the Realm.

And because he pursued the path of "Dual Cultivation of Techniques and Dao," his understanding of Sword Intent was even more seamless and fluid compared to Shen Wen’an, who grasped Sword Intent while still in the Fetal Breathing Realm.

The pale golden light of the Geng Metal Sword Intent surrounded his body, and Shen Chongzhen instantly felt his stiff body recover, followed by a warmth spreading throughout his body.

With the hidden danger removed, Shen Chongzhen surveyed the foggy surroundings, contemplating.

Zhou Xuan said the Xuanzang Ice Flame is a companion of the Earth Spirit Nether Soil, but she wasn’t sure where exactly it would appear.

Shen Chongzhen thought that, since it is a companion of a spirit, the Xuanzang Ice Flame is most likely to appear near a spirit.

However, since the Earth Spirit Nether Soil had yet to fully manifest, he couldn’t determine exactly where within a thousand miles the spirit would appear.

"I’ll start by looking around."

With this thought, Shen Chongzhen decided to first search the central area of Zhili County.

While navigating through the mist for a short time, Shen Chongzhen suddenly heard the rustling sounds coming from the left front.

Before he could closely observe, the mist in that direction surged, and several sharp wooden stakes shot out from the fog!

Facing the sudden attack, Shen Chongzhen squinted slightly, and his long sword instantly unsheathed.

Several Sword Auras flew out, precisely shattering the incoming wooden stakes into pieces of Wood Spiritual Power that dissipated into the air.

After neutralizing the opponent’s attack, Shen Chongzhen, not to be outdone, identified the general location of the opponent based on the direction of the wooden stakes and threw back a bright golden Sword Qi, cleaving through the mist diagonally!

Bang!

A muffled explosion rang out from the distant mist, followed by two faint groans.

"Not good, it’s a Sword Cultivator, retreat quickly!"

A slightly aghast voice came from the mist, followed by another wave of Spiritual Power fluctuations.

It was clear that the two who attacked realized Shen Chongzhen’s identity as a Sword Cultivator and dared not linger any longer, immediately fleeing into the distance.

Shen Chongzhen did not pursue them.

His main goal in coming here was to find the Xuanzang Ice Flame, avoiding conflict if possible was naturally for the best.
