Chapter 1158: Chapter 1152: Leaving The Novice Village In Tears
When he reappeared, he had already arrived in the northern part of the Azure Cloud Prefecture.
There stood the highest mountain range in the entire Azure Cloud Prefecture.
Now, starting from the mountainside, this mountain was gradually freezing into a massive iceberg.
At this time, the father-daughter pair, Li Xinri and Li Zhijing, were staring blankly ahead at Li Xinjue, who was training the descendants of the Silver Moon Lineage.
“Who would dare provoke them?”
Li Xinri muttered.
He saw the children of the Silver Moon Lineage ahead, bare-chested, sprinting madly in the freezing environment.
They were dodging the ‘Silver Needle Trees’, a hazard unique to harsh winters.
These trees were covered in sharp thorns. In the forest, one had to keep running; otherwise, standing for too long would cause agonizing pain in the feet from the cold.
But the more they ran, the more the thorns on the trees would slash their bodies.
This kind of cultivation scene was a top-tier tempering of human will and mental fortitude.
After these children finished running, they were sent back to soak in the spiritual pool to recover their bodies, which also enhanced their physiques to a certain extent.
Li Xinri couldn’t imagine just how powerful these children would become when they grew up.
[The descendants of the Silver Moon Lineage, having undergone secret and cruel cultivation since childhood, have acquired the Group Trait: Leaving the Novice Village in Tears.]
[For those who undergo the Silver Moon Lineage’s cultivation, combat power increases by 30%, mental fortitude by 20%, and physique by 10%.
The probability of acquiring a negative trait increases by 10%. Not a single child can leave the Silver Moon Lineage smiling.]
“The Silver Moon Lineage is almost entirely made up of such ruthless people,” Li Zhijing exclaimed in admiration.
“They cultivate like this from childhood, growing up crying all the way, and ultimately becoming assassins.
I heard that the thing they want to do most when they grow up is to beat up their elders.”
“So they suffered this much since childhood. No wonder they eat so ravenously when they visit our Demon Suppression Lineage.”
Li Xinri suddenly realized the truth, but then he jumped in fright.
Li Xinjue had silently turned into a shadow and appeared right beside him, scaring him half to death.
“Are you trying to get yourself killed?!”
Nowadays, he neither visited brothels nor gambled. Cursing Li Xinjue upon meeting him had become Li Xinri’s new habit.
Li Xinjue ignored his older brother’s foul mouth and asked expressionlessly, “Brother Ri, have the clansmen from Northern Frontier City been settled properly?”
Hearing this, Li Xinri waved his hand. “A little over three hundred came.”
“A little over three hundred?” Li Xinjue frowned.
The clansmen in Northern Frontier City numbered over a thousand.
Beside them, Li Zhijing grinned.
“When we moved from Northern Frontier City, not many were willing to come with us.
Grandpa’s concubines didn’t want to leave; their home is in Northern Frontier City.
From now on, you all will cultivate on the mountain, and we will tame beasts at the foot of the mountain.”
“That is for the best,” Li Xinjue nodded slightly.
Among those who stayed in Northern Frontier City were his and Li Xinri’s respective mothers and brothers.
But when the matter of the Ten Deadly Sins emerged, the first reaction of those relatives was to seize power.
Leaving them in Northern Frontier City granted their wishes, and having them watch over the family’s properties along the way was the best possible outcome.
“Where is Father?” Li Xinjue asked again.
Li Xinri frowned.
He originally thought that by breaking through to such a high realm, his father would look at him in a new light.
This was indeed the case in Northern Frontier City, but upon arriving in the Azure Cloud Prefecture, his father had returned to his cold, distant demeanor.
He said casually,
“Dad can’t stay idle. You know him, he fought in the Northern Frontier for so long.
Suddenly having no battles to fight, he went to the Eternal Immortal Sect to wait for the people from the major factions of the Department of Immortal Suppression to arrive, just so he can join the fun.”
“Speaking of which, we aren’t used to it either. The clansmen will probably need a few years to adapt.”
Li Zhijing shrugged, pointing at the iceberg.
“Fortunately, the Qiu Clan had quite a few good treasures, so now we have an iceberg in the Azure Cloud Prefecture too.
I really don’t know what the Qiu Clan was thinking back then. Being used to staying in the snowy mountains, how could they possibly get used to the South?”
Hearing this, Li Wei looked toward the entire iceberg.
Last year’s assault on the Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain—a major faction that had existed in the Northern Frontier for tens of thousands of years—had truly granted the family considerable benefits.
In the core of this iceberg was a massive, twenty-plus-meter-tall rhombohedral crystal.
It was also the treasure that maintained the entire iceberg’s environment to perfectly mimic the Northern Frontier.
[Tier-4 Natural Crystal Vein]
[Formed over millions of years from the underground spiritual veins of the Northern Frontier under freezing conditions, the spiritual vein has turned into ice crystals.
It can imbue an area with ice and snow spiritual energy, and over time, generate Ice Demons.]
Aside from this.
Inside the iceberg, there was also a giant nest, which was the true secret treasure of the entire Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain.
The nest was structured like a beehive, emitting a bone-chilling cold.
The environment was intricate and complex; an ordinary person entering would inevitably lose their way.
Li Wei had a deep impression of this particular item.
[Supreme-Grade Dharma Treasure: Ancient Ice Demon Nest]
[Corpses can be placed inside the nest, and over the years, they will transform into Ice Demons.
In one year, a corpse can transform into a Demonic Beast; in ten years, an Ice Spirit Demonic Beast; in a hundred years, an Ice Demon King… Killing them yields ‘Ice Demon Beast Cores’.
Maintaining the nest requires a massive amount of Spirit Stones and spiritual energy.]
[Through the Qiu Clan’s secret alchemy arts, Ice Spirit secret arts, and Ice Spirit arrays, consuming Ice Demon Cores can consolidate meridians and increase cultivation.
There is a minute probability of acquiring an ‘Ice Spiritual Root’.]
Now, this item was managed by Li Zhijing.
Li Zhijing was a Beast Tamer and possessed the ‘Heavenly Demon Rune Seed’.
Now that she had the ‘Ancient Ice Demon Nest’, if the demonic beasts she controlled died, placing them inside the nest would turn them into Ice Demons.
Corpses from the Wu Tribe battlefield sent into the nest could also become Ice Demons.
When the Ice Demons died, their cores would be dug out and given to the clansmen for cultivation, creating a perfect, virtuous cycle.
Li Wei took an extra look at Li Zhijing, his expression filled with gratification.
It was foreseeable that Li Zhijing would become the absolute best candidate to manage the family’s ‘Ice Spiritual Root’ cultivation base.
The Qiu Immortal Clan possessed many Dharma Treasures and cultivation methods, but Azure Cloud Prefecture was located in the Southern Frontier.
The family surprisingly couldn’t find a single person possessing a mutated Ice Spiritual Root, nor had anyone ever come into contact with such techniques.
Their corpses were either sent to Li Dalong or left for Dabao’s breakthrough.
However, Li Xinjue gained quite a few benefits from cultivators like Qiu Xunfa, who specialized in ‘Shadow’ techniques.
[Your descendant Li Xinjue has obtained the Earth-Tier cultivation method “Absolute Shadow Art” practiced by Qiu Xunfa.
He can physically enter shadows, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.]
[Obtained Mid-Grade Dharma Treasure: Turbid Jade Pendant]
[Where there is darkness, there is turbidity. Blending into it makes one virtually undetectable by gods or ghosts.
Can teleport short distances to instantly appear in the opponent’s shadow.]
