Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2258: Chapter 2255: ’Ice Palace 4th Floor’, Ice Venerable?

"Only one month?" Xiao Yi asked.

He wasn’t really concerned about the time.

He was more interested in whether there were any more benefits to be gleaned from the fourth floor of the Ice Palace; otherwise, he would leave early.

The increase in one level of cultivation in itself was already a substantial gain.

To advance a whole level within the Saint Sovereign Realm in a month—such a cultivation speed is truly frightening, making the trip worthwhile.

Not to mention acquiring techniques like the Ice Storm Scripture and the Ice Illusion Body, both of which are rather extraordinary.

"It’s not about that," Xia Yifeng replied, "but if you can’t secure an opportunity through the prohibitions within a month, it indicates you are ordinary."

"At least, that’s how it is judged in the standards of the Ice Venerate Inheritance, Ice Emperor Palace, and Ice Storm Sword Pavilion."

"You would be deemed unworthy to remain here and would have to leave."

"If you can secure an opportunity, you can stay another month."

"Though there is a restriction of one level, more time spent here will inevitably result in some growth."

"And this place is quite suitable for seclusion; I can guide your cultivation here afterward."

"Additionally, the Mystic Cold Venerate Jade here can further enhance your cultivation. Taking Cultivation Items, Elixir Elixir, etc., here can greatly amplify effects."

"Got it," Xiao Yi nodded.

Xia Yifeng also nodded, "Good, trigger the opportunity quickly. Once you gain the enhancement, we will start the cultivation guidance."

With that said, Xia Yifeng retreated to his position.

Nearby, the two Guardian Bing individuals looked displeased, "Xia Yifeng, aren’t you secretly assisting?"

"Guardian Lu Long, do you remember what you just said? Xia Yifeng now defies the Ice Venerate Ancestor’s rules."

Lu Long gave them a sidelong glance, "Do you think without Xia Yifeng’s reminder, this kid Xiao Yi would be kicked out of the Ice Palace’s fourth floor once the month’s time is up?"

"Then he wouldn’t ever get the great opportunity of the Ice Venerate Technique, right?"

"Hmph, do you think I’m a fool?"

"Obtaining opportunities through outside help and obtaining them through one’s own strength are two different things."

"Missing an opportunity unintentionally and being unworthy of obtaining it are also different."

"Since Xiao Yi initiated this combination and opportunity himself, why should we, as Martial Arts Elders, stand by watching him lose it?"

"It would be a good thing if more could partake in the Ice Venerate Ancestor’s inheritance, especially someone recognized as worthy."

...

Ahead.

Xiao Yi did not trigger the previous opportunity prohibition again.

Instead, he sat cross-legged once more, beginning his cultivation and contemplation.

"He’s sitting down to cultivate again?" Xia Yifeng couldn’t hold back, "What’s this kid up to now?"

"No, he’s contemplating the Twenty-four Ice Shattering Slashes?"

The two Guardian Bing individuals sneered again, "With barely a day and a half left, less than two days, trying to master another peak Venerable-level martial technique?"

"This time it’s his own cleverness to blame, no one else’s fault."

Lu Long said nothing, but his face showed anticipation.

Xia Yifeng also stayed silent, but frowned slightly, appearing a bit anxious.

The Ice Storm Scripture, Twenty-four Ice Shattering Slashes, Ice Illusion Body, all peak Venerable-level.

The previous Ice Battle Technique, Heart Shattering Fist, Infinite Ice Essence, were just one peak Venerable-level and two high-tier Venerable-level techniques.

The opportunity triggered by those was already one of the strongest on the Ice Palace’s fourth floor.

So what about three peak Venerable-level techniques? What kind of opportunity would such a combination of ice talismans draw out?

No one has tried such a combination, and no one dares to try.

Because no young Heavenly Talent has been confident enough to successfully realize three peak Venerable-level techniques in just one month.

Nor has any monstrous talent been willing to gamble their precious chance on the Ice Palace’s fourth floor.

But Xiao Yi dares.

Now, Lu Long too wants to see what this will draw out.

Xia Yifeng, however, worries that time is insufficient for Xiao Yi, and when the time is up, all his efforts will be in vain, wasted.

However, Xiao Yi is ultimately Xiao Yi.

In terms of Martial Arts Talent, he’s fearless compared to anyone, and exceedingly confident.

After just one short day.

Buzz...

All around Xiao Yi, nine ice talismans appeared in succession.

"The Twenty-four Ice Shattering Slashes is Great Achieved as well." The Four Great Guardians exclaimed in unison, expressions varied.

Lu Long looked forward to it.

Xia Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

The two Guardian Bing individuals had faces growing colder.

Yet naturally, all four wanted to see what this would bring forth.

Before, when the Ice Storm Scripture and Ice Illusion Body were Great Achieved, Xiao Yi brought out one opportunity, and the Four Great Guardians were most expectant then.

But that time, Xiao Yi stopped.

Now, with all three Great Achieved, it would draw an even stronger opportunity.

This time, Xiao Yi did not stop, continuously triggering the prohibition until the opportunity fully descended.

Simultaneously, waves of tremendous Spiritual Energy surged forth.

Before long, boom...

A surge of momentum erupted from Xiao Yi, and the Qi Spring inside his Small World finally reached twenty percent of its height.

Xiao Yi’s cultivation truly stepped into the Second Layer of the Saint Sovereign Realm.

Xiao Yi displayed a slight expression of delight, but temporarily paid it no mind.

He too anticipated what opportunity would be drawn next.

A minute later.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

In the distance, the Four Great Guardians watched the fluctuating prohibition and the entire quaking fourth floor of the Ice Palace, their expressions drastically changing.

"What astounding power of prohibition." The two Guardian Bing individuals’ expressions were extremely complicated.

"Within the prohibition, there’s a trace of Primordial Power." Lu Long narrowed his eyes, "Could it be..."

Xia Yifeng’s eyes suddenly lit up, his face filled with joy, "Yes, yes, it can’t be wrong, it’s the Ice Storm Devouring Soul, the strongest inheritance of the Soul Dao from the Ice Venerate Ancestor."

"Goodness, this kid Xiao Yi acquired a treasure this time."

Unexpectedly, a curse came from the front.

"Ice Storm Devouring Soul? What kind of lousy thing is that?" Xiao Yi’s face darkened as he casually accepted the inheritance and uttered a curse.
