1103: Chapter 325: Southern Sea Ice Cliff_2 1103: Chapter 325: Southern Sea Ice Cliff_2 The Divination Symbols had been restored, shimmering radiantly.
Before, in the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky, a divination had been conducted once, inquiring about the matter of slaying the avatar of the Big Freedom Bodhisattva.
The Divination Symbols had exhausted their energy once and only now had recovered.
The timing was just right.
Su He looked at the Symbols, silently contemplating his request: “Niece, Ji Feixue has been severely injured.
Could you save her?
Where is the current Emperor Ma Shi?
Might he be in the Southern Sea?”
Su He repeated the question three times.
The Symbols flickered as if they were a mirror, revealing a cultivation technique.
The Absorption Spirit Technique!
That was the same technique for absorbing Spiritual Energy during cultivation, spread throughout the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
All sects had it, with slight variations.
Su He observed it repeatedly but couldn’t find anything special about it.
It wasn’t some special cultivation method capable of extracting Buddha Force from Ji Feixue.
It was just an ordinary Absorption Spirit Technique!
Su He frowned.
Since when did White Spirit’s Divination Symbols start dealing with such ambiguous things?
Be it White Spirit or Baiyin, divination was always unreservedly communicative, disclosing results in the most straightforward manner, sometimes even through a video image.
Puzzled, Su He exited the Heritage Sea and looked across the endless ocean, attempting to mobilize the Absorption Spirit Technique from the Divination Symbols.
Water elements surged in from all directions.
Even just a moment of operation was enough for the Transcendence Realm, allowing any Boundary Status to advance a level.
But it wasn’t that the Absorption Spirit Technique was powerful; the powerful one was Su He, who even in ordinary breathing could achieve such an effect.
The Absorption Spirit Technique was not unique, nor did it attract Emperor Ma Shi.
Su He took steps beneath the Southern Sea, while simultaneously sending an image to the fox beside him: “Go and pass it to your master deep within your heart.”
It was precisely the Absorption Spirit Technique Su He had just seen; he couldn’t directly invade Ji Feixue’s Divine Sense with his intention, so he had to rely on the fox to relay it.
Maybe the Absorption Spirit Technique was intended for Ji Feixue to use?
With one step, Su He was at the bottom of the Southern Sea in pitch darkness where no sunlight could penetrate, an utterly oppressive environment.
But for someone like Su He, who had been at ease even in the Netherworld, such an environment was nothing to fret about.
Descending further, he couldn’t tell how far he had traveled before a moon-white ice cliff emerged before him.
The Southern Sea Ice Cliff!
One of the ice attribute extreme regions of the Mystery Huang World, on a par with Phoenix Valley in the far north.
Of course, Phoenix Valley hadn’t yet formed at this time.
Previously, he had been pursued by Ji Feixue, and the two had clashed in Phoenix Valley, tumbling into Phoenix Tomb Ghost territory.
When exactly did Phoenix Valley come into being?
As for this Southern Sea Ice Cliff, who knew how long it had already existed.
Rumors said that even stepping into the Stepping Sky Five-fold here could freeze one to death.
If it were just that, Su He could walk through it with ease.
Su He took a step and realized this place blocked spatial transfer techniques.
Even fleeing through the air was impossible; only water travel techniques could be used.
Yet, knowing not where the Qilin Toe resided, Su He moved forward while an endless chill imbued with a murderous aura rolled in.
Not the murderous aura of a creature, but the entire ice cliff—itself hostile to all living creatures entering.
Su He’s eyes sharpened, and a curtain of water rose from within his robe, forming an array to protect Ji Feixue.
He transformed into the Xuanwu True Body, with the Spirit Snake curling up Ji Feixue onto the Turtle Shell, coiling around her.
The Toad and the Fox returned to their respective masters and homes.
The chilling intent that landed on him felt as if it would freeze his bones to the core.
“Is this the might that could freeze a Stepping Sky Five-fold to death?
Even a Stepping Sky Six-fold would struggle, right?” Su He muttered in his heart.
The Toad sneered.
“You’re protecting your wife so tightly, the chill that should fall on her is also falling on you.
Bearing two chills, of course, it feels different,” the Toad’s voice echoed in Su He’s heart.
This wasn’t simply additive; the chilling intent had doubled!
Su He walked on, his lips twitching slightly.
Two chills?
Probably four!
The Toad burrowed into his Intention Orifice, its natural chill falling upon him, and the Fox did likewise.
A quadruple surge of frosty chill approached, but it did not freeze the sea water, which flowed as usual, only the ice cliff bore ice so dense that not even Su He could see through it.
Even the most superficial layer of rough ice, if refined into a Magical Treasure, could be sufficient for those in the Stepping Sky Three and Four-fold to wield.
Su He’s Divine Sense radiated out, searching all directions, but this place was silent, devoid of fish and shrimp, let alone people.
Su He’s four claws propelled him inward.
The number of Ma Shi Empress’s People was unknown, but from listening to the Jixia Academy’s dialogues, it was clear that the one he was searching for was indeed the current Emperor Ma Shi.
His Tao Cultivation must be extraordinary, otherwise he couldn’t have come here to gather medicine.
Su He moved slowly forward like an ordinary turtle in water.
The renowned Ice Cliff was actually a canyon or perhaps a sea trench, with cliffs on both sides.
Su He was at the canyon’s beginning, advancing inward as the chilling chill intensified.
Even the light around darkened.
Occasionally, ice attribute Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures gleamed briefly, free for the taking.
The deeper he went, the quieter it became, even the sound of flowing water ceased.
“Turtle Kid, don’t you feel that this place resembles the Worship Granny’s forbidden land?” the Toad’s intention emerged in Su He’s mind.
This sea region was peculiar, blocking all sounds.
Even sending voice directly from the heart was screened out; only Divine God Thought could pass.
The Toad was referring to the desert in the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky where the plane tree planted by the Worship Granny transformed a thousand miles of desert into an icy plain.
A forbidden land?
It seemed unlikely that any beast could consolidate such a domain—not the power, as Thai Zu, could form a domain no worse than this, but the time!
