Chapter 4080: Ice Soul Snowfield

The Ice Soul Snowfield, one of the Seven Great Perilous Lands in the Nine Stars Immortal Realm, is perpetually covered in snow and experiences extremely low temperatures. It is home to numerous ice-attributed immortal herbs and rare refining materials, seldom found elsewhere. High-level chaotic beasts are abundant here; some have even encountered creatures at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. Nevertheless, many immortals venture into the Ice Soul Snowfield to collect these precious ice-attributed immortal herbs or refining materials.

Deep within the Ice Soul Snowfield, at the foot of a steep, towering peak, lay a massive cave. Wang Changsheng was battling a seven-colored chaotic beast resembling an ape, while Wang Ruyan stood by, not intervening. Wang Changsheng's right index finger glowed with blue light. With a gentle tap into the void, a whooshing sound accompanied a streak of blue light, which accurately struck the seven-colored chaotic beast with a dull thud. The creature roared in anger, a small bloody mark appearing on its body. This was the Spirit Shattering Finger, one of the Three Qiankun Fingers – a long-range attack that proved effective against the seven-colored chaotic beast. If Wang Changsheng had been at the late Golden Immortal stage, the injury would have been far more severe than a mere scratch. Even a complete set of mid-grade immortal artifacts couldn't wound the beast with a single strike, yet the Spirit Shattering Finger achieved this, demonstrating its immense power.

The seven-colored chaotic beast strode towards Wang Changsheng, its massive palm swinging down as if to crush him into pulp. A hint of mockery played on Wang Changsheng's lips. His right index finger flared with dazzling golden light, transforming into a spear-like weapon, and he met the attack. His right index finger collided with the beast's right palm. The seven-colored chaotic beast let out an agonizing roar as its right palm was pierced by Wang Changsheng's finger, bleeding profusely. Wang Changsheng, too, was sent flying backward. This was the Immortal Exterminating Finger, a technique that transforms the finger into a weapon to attack enemies.

Wang Changsheng felt a powerful gravitational pull, sending his body uncontrollably flying backward. Before he could land, the seven-colored chaotic beast charged at him again. His right index finger shone with dazzling white light, targeting the beast. The creature's right palm formed a fist and smashed towards Wang Changsheng. Wang Changsheng showed no fear, swinging his index finger to meet it. With a dull thud, Wang Changsheng's right index finger pierced the beast's fist, blood gushing out. A white aura swept out, rapidly freezing the beast's arm. The ice spread quickly, encasing nearly half of its body. However, dazzling seven-colored spiritual light burst from its body, quickly melting the ice.

Wang Changsheng had already moved behind the seven-colored chaotic beast. His right index finger glowed with both golden and black spiritual light, emitting two types of law fluctuations. This was the Aperture Fusion Technique, a fusion of the Law of Strength and the Law of Soul! A cold glint flashed in Wang Changsheng's eyes as his right index finger shot straight towards the beast's head. With a dull thud, Wang Changsheng pierced the seven-colored chaotic beast's head. A black aura swept out, passing over the creature's body. The seven-colored chaotic beast let out an agonizing shriek, its body trembled, and it collapsed.

"Excellent. This divine ability seems tailor-made for True Spirits," Wang Changsheng said with a smile. He noted that clan members like Wang Mengbin, who had cultivated into True Spirits, could also learn this ability, greatly enhancing their strength. When the Three Qiankun Fingers were used in conjunction with the Aperture Fusion Technique, their power increased significantly. Without the Aperture Fusion Technique, the Three Qiankun Fingers had limited power, as exemplified by their original owner, Reverend Qiankun. Now, without needing to resort to Daoist techniques, Wang Changsheng could eliminate the seven-colored chaotic beast using only the Three Qiankun Fingers.

"The somewhat troublesome part is that the Golden Gang Bone Forging Jade Liquid requires a five-million-year-old Golden Gang Ginseng as the primary ingredient, along with the core of a mutated seven-colored chaotic beast," Wang Ruyan said, collecting the corpse of the seven-colored chaotic beast. "It must have been difficult for Reverend Qiankun. I wonder where he obtained that Golden Gang Bone Forging Jade Liquid." They then flew into the cave, arriving at a massive underground ice cavern.

The stone walls were covered in thick ice. In the lower-left corner, dozens of snow-white ganoderma mushrooms grew, while in the lower-right, a cold pond hundreds of feet wide held dozens of snow-white lotuses floating on its surface. "Ice Soul Ganoderma, Profound Jade Lotus! At least a million years old, some over three million years!" Wang Ruyan murmured to herself, her face lighting up with joy. Wang Changsheng released Wang Shen, instructing her to collect the immortal herbs, as she was currently at the late True Immortal stage.

Wang Changsheng struck the ice wall with a punch, shattering it into pieces. Large chunks of ice fell to the ground, revealing an uneven blue stone wall beneath. "Blue ice!" Wang Changsheng seemed to realize something and punched again. A booming sound echoed as the entire ice cavern shook violently, and the stone wall indented. With his fists, Wang Changsheng forcefully broke off a piece of snow-blue ore. It was incredibly cold to the touch and surprisingly light. "Qianlan Cold Jade! It's actually this kind of refining material!" Wang Changsheng's face showed delight. Qianlan Cold Jade is superior to Grand Unity Profound Jade. It is commonly used to refine high-grade ice-attributed immortal artifacts; even a small piece incorporated into a mid-grade immortal artifact can significantly enhance its power.

Throughout their journey, besides seeking opportunities, they also eliminated high-level chaotic beasts and collected cultivation resources. "If the weapons of the Golden Immortal-stage Immortal Armor Army were infused with Qianlan Cold Jade, dealing with Golden Immortal-stage chaotic beasts would be much easier," Wang Ruyan said with a smile. Qianlan Cold Jade is a third-tier immortal ore, typically controlled by major powers in the Northern Sea Immortal Realm. They hadn't expected to find it here and wondered about the extent of its reserves. Wang Changsheng released Wang Tunian and others, instructing them to help mine the Qianlan Cold Jade. A series of clanging sounds echoed, and the entire peak began to shake violently.

More than half a year later, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan emerged from the cave, their faces radiating joy. They had discovered a small Qianlan Cold Jade mine, but they couldn't take the entire mine with them. They had extracted a significant amount of raw Qianlan Cold Jade ore, enough to refine over a dozen sets of mid-grade immortal artifacts without issue. If their refining skill were higher, it might even be possible to craft ten or eight high-grade immortal artifacts. With Wang Changsheng's current refining level, he couldn't yet produce high-grade immortal artifacts, but infusing it into mid-grade immortal artifacts to enhance their power for the Golden Immortal-stage Immortal Armor Army would significantly boost their strength. If not for Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan using the Aperture Fusion Technique to mine the Qianlan Cold Jade, they wouldn't have been able to extract so much in such a short time.

After exiting the cave, Wang Changsheng summoned the Azure Nether Boat, and he and Wang Ruyan boarded it. Wang Changsheng chanted an incantation, and the Azure Nether Boat immediately glowed with dazzling blue light, ascending into the sky.

An hour later, the Azure Nether Boat appeared over a vast, boundless snowfield, with countless white snowflakes drifting down from the sky. "A chaotic beast is coming." Wang Changsheng frowned and flew towards the southwest. A streak of seven-colored spiritual light appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly approaching their position. Wang Changsheng's right index finger glowed with dazzling blue light. With a gentle tap into the void, a whooshing sound accompanied a streak of blue light, which shot straight towards the seven-colored spiritual light. A thick stream of seven-colored spiritual light shot out, shattering the blue light. A seven-colored chaotic beast, resembling a roc, appeared in the sky.

"Oh no, a mutated seven-colored chaotic beast!" Wang Changsheng's expression changed. He quickly chanted an incantation, and the Azure Nether Boat immediately flared with dazzling blue light, speeding away into the distance. Simultaneously, countless blue water droplets materialized in the void, transforming into fist shapes and smashing towards the seven-colored chaotic beast. The beast spewed a brilliant golden sound wave, shattering the incoming blue fist-shadows. Roaring sounds continued as a powerful surge of energy swept across the sky. By then, the Azure Nether Boat was already a million miles away. With a gentle flap of its wings, the seven-colored chaotic beast pursued them.
