Chapter 34: The Cold Yin Energy
Su Qingchen dared to be so reckless in his body refinement because of the abnormal healing effect of Zi Tianyu, he didn't need to worry about getting hurt at all. It was just that the cold and gloomy aura's wanton destruction made Su Qingchen endure immense pain, a situation that would normally cause someone to faint from the intense agony.
Just as Su Qingchen's spiritual power was about to collapse, a faint purple glow emanated from the Zi Tian Yu in his chest, and a warm purple current flowed into his body, quickly restoring his damaged skin and adapting him to this depth of cold darkness.
When he saw his body recover, Su Qingchen dove down again, and with it came the piercing pain. This time, there was no reappearance of the skin being torn open, as the purple warm current continuously surrounded the meridians, constantly repairing the injured areas and transforming the body structure, making it stronger.
Su Qingchen's face revealed a relieved smile, with the purple warm current and cold water, his body could continuously be strengthened. At this time, Su Qingchen only hoped that the pool was deep enough to make his body even stronger.
As she slowly descended, Su Qingchen helplessly discovered that the repair of the purple warm current could no longer keep up with the destruction of the cold yin energy. Her body had already appeared with several cracks and wounds. Helpless, Su Qingchen stopped continuing to dive down, her figure suspended in the water, motionless.
Time slipped away quietly, and in the blink of an eye, the sky had darkened. Su Qingchen had been in the water for almost a day, and the pain had already put him into a semi-comatose state. Fortunately, after crossing over, Su Qingchen's soul was very strong, and his mental strength far surpassed that of ordinary people. Otherwise, he would have given up long ago.
Unconsciously, Su Qingchen had already dived down tens of meters, and the destructive power of the water was getting more and more severe. She could no longer dive down, or else she would be in danger of losing her life. In a semi-conscious state, Su Qingchen had the consciousness not to dive down, but she didn't have the idea of floating up to the surface.
Staying at a depth of tens of meters, despite the warm current's repair, after a long time, Su Qingchen's skin surface began to show blood streaks. The wound slowly grew larger and eventually cracked open with fine fissures. Fresh blood once again stained the surrounding area red.
If Su Qingchen continued to stay in the water for several more hours, he would inevitably fall into a coma due to excessive spiritual energy consumption and eventually be swallowed by the cold water.
After the sun set, the cold wind returned to the side of the water pool. After lightly calling out to Su Qingchen several times without getting a response, he began to worry. He knew that the water in this pool had a chill that was hard for humans to withstand, and only by using his soul power to protect himself could he stay in the water. If he dove too deep, he would be injured by the chill in the water.
His eyebrows slightly furrowed, the Cold Wind Soul Decision revolved, and a faint soul power enveloped Cold Wind's body, like a piece of clothing worn on him. This is something that many spiritual masters have been dreaming of, the Soul Power Cloak is a sign of entering the Great Spiritual Master, it's a pretty good defensive means, at least the Soul Masters who are cultivating the Soul Technique can't break through.
Leng Feng's figure flashed into the water, shooting straight down to the depths like a sword. At a depth of tens of meters, he saw Su Qingchen covered in blood. Leng Feng's heart ached as he wrapped his arms around Su Qingchen and quickly pulled him out of the water.
Su Qingchen was laid flat on the ground, his brow furrowed in concern as he stared at Su Qingchen who looked like a bloody man. Leng Feng couldn't help but want to punch himself for not reminding him earlier. If only he hadn't been so strict with his requirements, this little guy wouldn't have suffered such severe injuries.
The soul decided to operate, and the cold wind gathered the soul power in his palm without stopping. After a moment, he input the soul power into Su Qingchen's body. The pure soul power of the great spiritual master entered Su Qingchen's body and quickly circulated along the meridians. At this time, Leng Feng was shocked to find that Su Qingchen's body was intact, with only minor external injuries, and the wound was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Leng Feng was about to withdraw his soul power, but found that his hand had already been sucked tightly onto Su Qingchen's chest. The soul power within his body was constantly flowing into Su Qingchen's body, and he couldn't control it at all. This was the first time Leng Feng had seen such a thing, and he really couldn't understand how a small Ling Shi like Su Qingchen could forcibly absorb the soul power of a great Da Ling Shi like himself.
As the cold wind's soul power continuously infused, Su Qingchen's injuries were fully restored, and a layer of faint light was emitted from his body, as if he was basking in sunlight.
Su Qingchen, who had fallen into a coma again, entered that strange dream once more. It was still that small ball of light, still playful and not allowing itself to be caught, but deep down in his heart, he kept telling himself that he must obtain that ball of light, for if he got it, he would gain immense power.
When the cold wind's internal soul power was absorbed by more than half, his palms and Su Qingchen's chest automatically separated. Su Qingchen emitted a dazzling light from her body, entering a strange state, as the Devouring Heaven Technique automatically circulated, consuming the pure soul power within her body.
Leng Feng stared at Su Qingchen's body changes without blinking, and after a moment, Leng Feng was shocked to discover that Su Qingchen had actually broken through while unconscious. After breaking through, his soul power continuously transformed his body, finally disappearing into the center of his right palm. Then, his soul began to operate on its own, absorbing the soul power in the air. Only then did Leng Feng breathe a sigh of relief.
After several hours, Su Qingchen woke up and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Leng Feng beside him, he smiled slightly: "Uncle, how are you here? I remember you had something to do and left." As he spoke, Su Qingchen moved his hands and feet and sat up. At this time, he found that he had actually broken through two levels and became an eighth-level spiritual master. Immediately after, he looked at Leng Feng with a puzzled face.
Leng Feng gave Su Qingchen a glance, stretched out his right hand and pointed at Su Qingchen, saying: "You little devil, are you courting death? Didn't you notice the eerie cold air in the water pool? It gets worse as you go deeper. With your spiritual cultivation, you can dive to a depth of no more than 100 meters, and the time shouldn't be too long either. If I hadn't returned in time, who knows, you might have turned into a pile of white bones."
Su Qingchen rolled her eyes, made a face at Leng Feng, and chuckled before speaking: "Next time I'll definitely be more careful and not take such risks." After finishing, Su Qingchen suddenly remembered something - earlier, she had used the Xuanming Technique to dive down nearly 200 meters, and relying on her physical body alone, she had dived down over 60 meters. Thinking of this, Su Qingchen looked at Leng Feng with a puzzled expression and asked: "Uncle, how much cultivation is required to dive to what depth?"
Leng Feng bowed his head in contemplation for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Su Qingchen, saying: "The limit of the spiritual practitioner's dive is 100 meters, the spiritual extreme limit is 300 meters, and the spiritual master's extreme limit is 1,000 meters. At that time, I was already a spiritual master who had dived to the bottom of the water, with the deepest dive reaching 700 meters. This lake is extremely mysterious, with 500 meters as a boundary line. Once you cross 500 meters, the power of the water increases several times. If a spiritual practitioner's body dives too deep into the 500-meter mark, it will instantly turn into blood and water."
