Sovereign to Immortality

The man in the cloak looked at Yang Junshan deeply before he left with his Senior Brother. In the blink of an eye, he was engulfed by the blizzard.    

    

Seeing the two leave, the Pure Yuan Spirit waved his hand towards the three stones on the ground that were almost covered by the falling snow. These three fist-sized Ice Essence Stones flew into his hand.    

    

Even though the three of them could be considered experienced and knowledgeable people, they couldn't help but be excited at the sight of this Cold Ice Essence Stone. Slightly chuckling, Sage Pure Yuan said, "With this Essence Stone, at least one year's worth of cultivation time will be enough to refine it."    

    

As he spoke, he tossed the three primeval stones in his hands to Liu Qiu and Yang Junshan.    

    

Liu Qiu received the primeval stone and said, "I can't compare to you. Although my Chungmen cultivation technique can't be compared to the cold attribute, it is mainly pine, plum, chrysanthemum and other wood attribute cultivation techniques. These primeval stones are worth at most nine months of my time."    

    

Yang Junshan was playing with the origin energy stone in his hand. Seeing the two of them looking at him, he could not help but smile bitterly, "I hope we can save half a year of cultivation time."    

    

Dao Friend Yang is not a cultivator of Liangzhou, so the cultivation technique you cultivate is not related to the cold attribute. However, as long as you can filter out the cold attribute from the Essence Stone, all that remains is still the pure source energy.    

    

"Next is to find a safe place to refine the Essence Stone."    

    

Daoist Master Liu Qiu suggested, "How about we go to the Ice Bear's nest? After so long, if the two Ice Bears return to the den, the three of us can work together to catch a turtle in a jar. If they don't return, then we can just wait there and conveniently refine the Essence Stone."    

    

"Good idea," Sage Pure Yuan praised, then turned to Yang Junshan and asked, "What does Fellow Yang think?"    

    

Yang Junshan thought for a while and said, "Alright."    

    

If he was ambushed by the three of them first, he would at least have an eighty percent chance of winning. Yang Junshan naturally had no reason to refuse, not to mention that after experiencing the Ice Fox's nest, Yang Junshan also wanted to see if the thousand-year-old Ice Silkworm could dig out the Ice Origin Qi inside the Ice Bear's nest.    

    

The huge ice cave was still the same as before. The two ice bears did not return to their nest, and the three of them were not in a hurry. Each of them found a place to refine the Frozen Essence Stones in their hands.    

    

This Ice Essence Stone was condensed from the purest Ice Essence Qi. Cultivators who cultivated in the cold attribute would only be able to refine it and condense it into the true essence in their dantian to raise their cultivation.    

    

Even if Yang Junshan's cultivation technique had nothing to do with the cold attribute, as long as the cold attribute was removed and only pure source energy was retained, it could still be used to enhance one's cultivation. However, this way, the effect of cultivation would be greatly reduced, and the efficiency would also be greatly reduced compared to the other two.    

    

He only spent a day's worth of time before and after refining the Frost Essence Stone, and the results of his cultivation were also the best. Although Spiritual Master Liu Qiu was a bit lacking, it didn't even take two days for him to refine all the Frost Essence in the Essence Stone.    

    

Only Yang Junshan herself was left. She had spent a total of three days to refine the Essence Stone in her hand. This caused Liu Qiu and Pure Yuan Spirit to feel a little regretful. They imagined that the Essence Stone contained Ice Essence Qi and felt that this Essence Stone was a waste.    

    

However, what they didn't know was that although Yang Junshan's effect was greatly reduced when he refined the Ice Essence Stone, the Ice Essence Stone was not wasted. Instead, it was greedily devoured by the thousand-year-old Ice Silkworm in the bottle on his waist.    

    

At the same time, while Yang Junshan was cultivating with all his might, the aura around him was also surging, and the other two naturally couldn't casually peek at the cultivation process of others. And at the same time, while Yang Junshan was completely focused on refining the source energy, the thousand-year-old ice silkworm also discovered the source energy hidden inside the ice cave, and with the help of the natural talent of the ice silkworm, it started to continuously absorb and gather the source energy from the ice cave.    

    

At the same time, it also made Yang Junshan even more convinced that there was a small amount of Ice Origin Qi in the Ice Fox's Lair, and the Ice Origin Qi in the Ice Bear's Lair was even needed to avoid the Ice Fox Lair.    

    

However, the amount of Ice Origin Qi in these nests was extremely low, to the point that no cultivator would be able to detect it. Furthermore, the Ice Fox and the Ice Bear only chose to build their nests here based on their innate abilities, and only through the thousand-year Ice Silkworm could they condense the Ice Origin Qi hidden in these nests.    

    

With the amount of Yuan Qi he absorbed from the Nine Toughness Formula, even though the cold source energy inside the stone would reduce the refining efficiency of Yang Junshan, the truth was that it only took him two days. The reason why it was extended by one day, aside from Yang Junshan's reluctance to expose his own strength, was to conceal the fact that he had used the ice silkworm to extract the cold source energy from the nest.    

    

One Yuan Qi Stone was only equivalent to Yang Junshan's cultivation time of six months. However, with the help of the ice silkworm, Yang Junshan actually had an extra month of practice time.    

    

After the three of them finished refining the elemental energy stones, they could vaguely feel the increase in each other's cultivation. Even though the degree of increase was limited, for a cultivator in the realms, it was already extremely valuable.    

    

The only pity was that in the past three days, the two adult bears had not returned to their nest. This caused the three of them to feel extremely regretful, as they guessed that the two bears had probably already abandoned their nest.    

    

In a glacier valley a hundred kilometers away from the ice cave, the three of them, who had originally been waiting for them, were now lying prostrate on the ground like docile dogs.    

    

However, in front of these two bears, there was a muscular man with thick fur patting the heads of the two giant bears, as if talking to himself, he said: "Oh, your child was killed by a human cultivator, it's pitiful, you can only act based on instinct, you can't use 30% of your abilities, the thing I just passed down to you, you just need to focus on cultivating, as long as you're smart, what else can make you suffer!"    

    

However, the man seemed to be able to understand the meaning behind the two bears' words, and said: "Don't worry, the most important thing right now is to find a new nest, hide, and don't let anyone find out. Then, train according to the things I've given you, as long as you become a Demonic cultivator, you can personally avenge your own child."    

    

As he spoke to here, the big fellow 'eh' uttered a cry and suddenly lifted his head, only to see a bright light suddenly erupting from the extreme north, and then a bright light rushed towards them. He was like a flame that jumped out of the source of fire, cutting off the connection to the source of the light and converging together, leaving behind only a beautiful light that appeared in the gray clouds, and this light was now several dozen miles away in the sky.    

    

The [Aurora] or [Dual Polarity Origin Divine Light] exploded not too far away from Yang Junshan and the others.    

    

Yang Junshan and the other two men had just come out of the ice bear's nest. They were discussing what to do next, and Yang Junshan even had plans to split up and move on his own with the other two men. However, the aurora above their heads suddenly changed their original plans.    

    

"Let's join forces. Right now, the Aurora is erupting above our heads. I'm afraid all of the Daoist cultivators within a hundred kilometer radius will arrive soon." Daoist Master Liu Qiu suggested to the other two.    

    

The Pure Yuan Spirit also said, "Not only the other cultivators, but also the other beasts from the Icy Plains. If the three of us join forces, even if we don't take the initiative to rob them, at least we don't have to worry about being robbed by others."    

    

The two of them looked at Yang Junshan. Even though the two of them were proud people, they had to admit that Yang Junshan was probably the strongest among the three of them. If they could win Yang Junshan's hand, the three of them would be able to suppress the Astral Reaching Realm cultivators.    

    

Yang Junshan understood the pros and cons, so he simply said, "Well, we should rely on our own methods, but when we meet enemies, we must advance and retreat together."    

    

"There's no time to lose, let's go!"    

    

The three of them controlled the Escape Light and turned into three streams of light, shooting straight into the clouds in the sky that were dyed in the Aurora's light.    

    

However, as the three of them flew higher and higher, the raging cold wind also became more intense. The three of them were covered in a thick layer of frost, making them look like three huge ice balls flying upwards. The creaking sounds of ice and snow could be heard from time to time, as if their protective qi was about to collapse under the extreme cold.    

    

At this time, they had to rely on their own means. First, Daoist Master Liu Qiu had taken out a furry leather hat and put it on her head. This hat was stimulated by his true essence.    

    

Yang Junshan was speechless. If he didn't guess wrongly, this leather hat should have been made from the skin of an adult ice bear. Such a funny hat was actually a spiritual tool for resisting the cold.    

    

As for the Pure Yuan Spirit, a green bead appeared on the top of his head. This bead flickered with green light, and even though the cold wind from high up in the sky blew past him, it seemed to form a barrier that protected him from the center.    

    

And just as Yang Junshan was surprised by these two's methods, he didn't know that not only were Sage Pure Yuan and Sage Liu Qiu looking at Yang Junshan in surprise, but they were also shocked!    

    

After the defensive qi barrier disappeared in the freezing cold, Yang Junshan didn't do anything. He just exposed his body to the cold air current in the sky. The cold air that was mixed with the frost essence of the extreme north blew on his body like a spring breeze, unable to harm him at all.
