NOVPUBThe Wu Monkey King watched as the two individuals improved and his gaze subtly shifted.
Without a trace, he leaped into the snow pit where Fanming had been trapped just moments before.
But at this moment, Wang Ba saw something that shocked him:
Accompanied by the arrival of the female cultivator.
At the site of the collapsed heaven pillar, the scattered broken ice blocks around it began to rise into the air, fitting themselves back onto the remnants of the pillar.
Hundred zhang, thousand zhang... ten thousand zhang!
It was just a blink of an eye.
The collapsed heaven pillar had actually re-formed.
Shooting straight into the firmament!
Above the low dome, the large hole that Fanming had broken open was quickly covered by the wind and snow.
Still, a little sunlight poured through, falling on this pillar that reached for the heavens.
Glittering brilliantly.
Standing beneath this heaven pillar, Wang Ba for a moment was so stunned he was rooted to the spot.
In the past in the West Sea Country, he had seen Shen Ying block the waters of the Eightfold Sea single-handedly.
He was filled with endless amazement.
The power of a cultivator could actually rival that of heaven and earth.
Now, on the northern plateau of the Northsea Continent, he was witnessing the extreme limits of a cultivator once again.
Although it might not have been as shocking as the time he saw Shen Ying, he still couldn’t help but feel his heart surge with emotion.
"If one day my cultivation base is complete, might I also show such prowess?"
The tumult within his heart was swiftly calmed.
He was still just a Golden Core Craftsman, improving himself as much as possible now was the most important matter.
Just as he was about to speak, the female cultivator had already tossed a Jade Slip over.
Wang Ba caught it with a stunned expression:
"Senior, this..."
"’Ice-Soul God Shedding Charm’, the inheritance of my lineage. Your master sent you here presumably for this, didn’t he?"
The female cultivator’s voice was hoarse, devoid of any emotion.
It seemed she had already guessed Wang Ba’s intention.
…
Hu, hu—
Countless winds and snows, wrapped in the cold currents, continually spiraled above the Northsea Continent.
Above the snowy plains.
A naked, all goosebumped Black-skinned Spirit Chicken, was struggling to fly in the blizzard.
It was indeed Fanming.
But at the moment, it was in an incredibly difficult state.
Its entire body was covered in gashes, with ice fragments filling the wounds, unable to heal for a long time.
The Primordial Spirit too, due to the earlier exhaustion, had become feeble.
Even the spiritual power had been greatly depleted in the fight just now.
In the face of the cold current capable of freezing spiritual power, the depletion of spiritual power was alarming, forcing it to circulate its Qi and blood to protect itself.
The only thing that gave it a bit of comfort was that the large egg in its lower abdomen had been preserved, thanks to its strenuous protection.
In Fanming’s eyes appeared a trace of joy mixed with extreme resentfulness:
"As long as these two eggs remain, I have full confidence in using the power of my bloodline to transfer my Primordial Spirit into them! When that happens... Wait a minute!"
Fanming suddenly halted its flight, a trace of panic flickering in its eyes:
"My, my first egg... seems to be still hidden in that tree!"
"Damn! Damn! What should I do!"
After being awakened by the God-Sealing Bell, it saw that the human cultivator who came was not as formidable as it had imagined, and immediately harbored a murderous intent.
Therefore, it did not rush to escape at the first opportunity.
To prevent the hatching from being affected, it deliberately left that first egg in the crown of the large tree.
But it hadn’t expected another human cultivator to suddenly appear and overpower it completely.
With no other choice, it had to retreat.
In its haste, it had completely forgotten to take the egg with it.
Now, still wary of the powerful female cultivator, it dared not take the risk of going back.
"If I had known... I should have given up on that one from the start!"
A twinge of regret formed in Fanming’s heart.
It had struggled for so long, all to have two opportunities to ensure the successful transference of its Primordial Spirit.
But after all the hardships, injuries, and suffering, it still only got one chance.
What’s worse, that egg had been tainted by the Fifth-order divine beasts of the Heavenly Sea, leaving it unclear whether it could successfully use this egg to reincarnate.
As it pondered.
Its eyes, filled with anger and regret, suddenly flickered, revealing a pure clarity unlike the rest.
Inside its body, another voice suddenly emerged:
"I... master... find... him..."
"Shut up!"
Fanming roared in rage.
Constant setbacks had already left it in a foul mood, and now, with its Primordial Spirit weakened, the original owner Bing 1 began to resurface, much to its increased fury.
However, after forcefully using the abilities that belonged to Bing 1 and with the Primordial Spirit’s excessive consumption, Bing 1 was not suppressed but kept repeating:
"Return... find... master..."
"Silence!"
Fanming bellowed again, quickening the beating of its wings as it headed east.
Only occasionally, one half of its body would suddenly perform completely opposite actions.
The egg inside its cloaca remained motionless.
Adding to its agony and pain.
In this endless torment, not knowing how long it had flown, it almost believed it had run out of spiritual power, until, driven by the cold current, it finally flew over a towering glacier.
After crossing a sea of ice, Fanming finally saw the boundless warm waters...
Waves gently caressed, and the high sun shone warmly.
The feeling of coldness slowly faded.
The sunlight’s rays fell on its body, replenishing some of its strength.
Seeing the water below, it suddenly felt an inexplicable urge.
It immediately dived headfirst into the deep sea.
The warm waters, completely different from the seas it had crossed before, caressed its body like soft hands, gradually relaxing the tense muscles and blood vessels around its cloaca.
