C421 Break the Limit
"Phew!"
Lin Cheng breathed heavily. His chest heaved up and down violently. At this moment, his body was almost completely numb. The biting cold wind around him had almost frozen his muscles.
At this time, Lin Cheng hesitated.
If he didn't circulate the Spirit Power, he might be frozen. He might even leave some serious injuries on his body. However, if he gave up now, then all his previous efforts would be in vain. It could even be said that all his previous efforts would be in vain.
"I can't give up!"
Lin Cheng secretly gritted his teeth. Refining the fleshly body was extremely difficult to begin with. This was even more difficult than advancing one's cultivation base. However, if he succeeded... The advantage of his physical body alone was enough to increase the distance between him and the other cultivator by a large margin.
Lin Cheng had already experienced the benefits of having a strong physical body a long time ago.
Therefore, he decided to persevere. He had to persist until he exceeded his limit. Once he broke through his limit, the strength of his physical body would increase by a large margin. At that time, even if he didn't consume the Marrow-washing Pill, he would still be able to reach his previous level.
Of course, he had to break through to the limit. It wasn't the limit that his body could reach, but the limit that he could currently bear. This was the most direct method to increase the strength of his physical body, and at the same time, the most painful method.
"Ha!"
Lin Cheng's unusual behavior was noticed by Tang Qingquan, who wasn't paying attention to him. The latter immediately laughed mockingly, "Our Fellow Taoist Lin is going to freeze, right? With such little strength, he actually dared to let Eldest Senior Sister call him senior brother. This is really ridiculous!"
"Humph! Humph!"
Ji Shuhan immediately turned her head to look and could not help but sneer.
Zou Qingqi's beautiful eyebrows knitted and her gaze swept across Tang Qingquan and Ji Shuhan's faces. The two people's faces immediately changed and did not dare to speak anymore. However, their eyes were filled with pride and schadenfreude, as well as a strong sense of disdain and ridicule.
"You guys go ahead first, I'll be back soon."
Zou Qingqi left behind a sentence and then rushed towards Lin Cheng. Because Lin Cheng deliberately stayed at the back, there was already quite a distance between them. That was why Zou Qingqi did not discover Lin Cheng's situation in time. If Tang Qingquan had not been paying attention to Lin Cheng all this time... She was afraid that she would not have noticed him even if Lin Cheng had frozen.
"Senior Brother Lin!"
Zou Qingqi quickly came to Lin Cheng and anxiously asked, "How are you? If you can't hold on, don't go up. I will send you down the mountain."
Lin Cheng did not say anything. In fact, he could not speak at this time. His face had already frozen and became numb. He could only use his eyes to reject Zou Qingqi and use the spiritual sense to communicate with Zou Qingqi at the same time.
Zou Qingqi looked at Lin Cheng in surprise. When she understood that Lin Cheng was using the environment here to temper his body, her eyes changed. The way she looked at Lin Cheng could not help but be filled with admiration.
No wonder Lin Cheng had such extraordinary combat strength. Just his perseverance and ruthlessness were incomparable to ordinary people.
"In that case, take care of yourself, Senior Brother Lin!"
Zou Qingqi cupped her fists and said, "The few Spirit Fruits that you picked earlier contained extremely dense fire energy. If your body is injured, you should be able to get rid of it by consuming the Spirit Fruit."
Lin Cheng thanked her with the spiritual sense, indicating that he understood.
After that, Zou Qingqi turned around and left. She did not come here to temper her body. Instead, she came here to find the inheritance. The spiritual energy on the snow mountain was so dense. It was very unusual. She guessed that this place might be the place where some Most Powerful Person of Ancient Times fell. If that was the case, then there might really be a legacy left behind by a powerful warrior.
Very quickly, Zou Qingqi and the others disappeared into the white fog. Those who could not persevere had long left this place, or left the mountain. After checking this place, they went to other places to search for treasures and treasures. Lin Cheng was the only one left here.
Lin Cheng circulated the Golden Jade Body with all his strength. On this white and majestic snow mountain... It was as if he was the only one left in the world, making him feel an inexplicable loneliness. However, his eyes were incomparably firm. He firmly believed that he could break through his limits. Increase the strength of his physical body.
At this moment, Lin Cheng had suffered a tremendous amount of pain.
Although the Golden Jade Body was also using the Spirit Power to temper his physical body, this process was very slow. The Spirit Power that was circulating was almost negligible. It was far from being able to withstand the surrounding astral winds and coldness.
However, Lin Cheng had already noticed the benefits of cultivating it like this a long time ago. His Divine Sense could clearly feel the strong winds and dense Spiritual Qi washing over him. Although his body had suffered some degree of damage, it was also getting stronger and stronger.
An hour later, Lin Cheng's entire body had become stiff. Every step he took was incomparably difficult.
After an hour, the rotation speed of the chakras in his meridians had become incomparably slow, almost to the point of stagnation.
Boom!
When an incomparably powerful force burst out from Lin Cheng's body, his eyes suddenly emitted a terrifying light.
At this time, nearly six hours had passed. Lin Cheng was no longer able to walk. His entire body was frozen. His body was covered with a layer of ice, making him look like a block of ice.
However, as this powerful force burst out, the ice on his body was instantly shattered.
"Huala!"
Countless ice chips fell and Lin Cheng's fingers moved. Then, his arms and legs followed. In the end, his spine began to burst with power. It was as if a giant dragon was about to soar into the sky, bringing with it an incomparably powerful strength!
"Finally breaking through my limit!"
A hint of joy emerged in Lin Cheng's eyes. After being continuously washed by the strong wind and cold, he had finally broken through his current limit, and the strength of his body had improved by leaps and bounds.
At this moment, he began circulating the Spirit Power to recover the damage to his body.
Although his body had broken through the limit, the biting cold wind and cold wind had also caused damage to his body. However, compared to the huge benefits he had obtained, this little bit of damage was negligible.
Furthermore, he could now circulate the Spirit Power to his heart's content and also cultivate to increase his cultivation realm. The strength of his body could not keep up with the weakness of his cultivation realm, and it was completely repaired.
Now, even if he didn't circulate the Spirit Power, the strong wind and cold wind could no longer cause him any harm. Just relying on his physical body alone was enough to resist the attack of the strong wind!
The Golden Jade Body was almost completed!
"If I consume the Marrow-washing Pill again, my physical body will definitely reach the pinnacle once more!"
Lin Cheng was extremely happy. Once he reached that level, he would have no opponents below the Divine Ability Stage!
There were many ways to reach the limit of his body once more. For example, he could cultivate to the extreme under the pressure of a powerful treasure. However, such a rare treasure was almost impossible to obtain. For Lin Cheng, refining a Marrow-washing Pill was actually the most feasible and easiest way to achieve it.
Now that he already had a Red Flame Fruit, as long as he found another Cold Chalcedony and Spirit Cattail Seed, he could refine a Marrow-washing Pill.
This was also one of the reasons why Lin Cheng was willing to climb this snow mountain. The Cold Chalcedony grew in an extremely cold place. If nothing unexpected happened, there was a high possibility that there was a Cold Chalcedony in the depths of this snow mountain!
As for using astral wind to temper his body, this was actually an unexpected harvest.
"I hope that there is a Cold Chalcedony on this snow mountain!"
After a moment, Lin Cheng, who had recovered slightly, lifted his head to look at the mountain peak above and quickly left.
In less than an hour, Lin Cheng had caught up with Zou Qingqi and the others.
He was not surprised because as he continued to climb, he could clearly feel that the wind around him was more piercingly cold, and the coldness was even more bone-piercing.
This was even after he broke through the limits of his physical body. If it was before this, he was afraid that it would be extremely difficult for him to reach this place, let alone those people.
Although those who were able to persist until this point were those who had a higher realm of Cultivation Level, however, under this astral wind, other than Zou Qingqi, Qiu Hai, and a few others who were not affected by it, ... The others had to circulate their Spirit Power as much as possible to resist the astral wind.
There was still some distance to the top of the mountain.
When they saw Lin Cheng catching up to them, other than Zou Qingqi, everyone else couldn't help but reveal surprised expressions.
They could all sense Lin Cheng's Cultivation Level. It was such a low level Cultivation Level. It was already incredible that Lin Cheng could reach this place, but not only did he reach this place... Didn't this mean... Lin Cheng was stronger than them?
"Humph!"
A trace of disappointment flashed across Tang Qingquan's eyes. Lin Cheng didn't freeze to death down there, and he even came up. This made his complacency and joy disappear without a trace.
Ji Shuhan also looked at Lin Cheng with disgust, but she did not look as obvious as what Tang Qingquan did. After all, Zou Qingqi was angry because of their mockery of Lin Cheng. She naturally did not dare to anger Zou Qingqi again.
Everyone's attention on Lin Cheng only lasted for a moment before they shifted their gazes away. The gale here was getting colder and colder. Everyone was trying their best to circulate the Spirit Power. Some of them were even busy with their own matters, so how could they have the energy to care about Lin Cheng?
Lin Cheng didn't put everyone's attention on him. At this moment, his attention was attracted by the scene in front of him.
In his line of sight, the thick snow on the mountain had disappeared, and what replaced it was a layer of hard and crystalline ice!
This meant that the road ahead would be even harder. It was impossible to climb again like before. Many people had already shown their weapons and stabbed into the ice layer, stabilizing themselves and walking up.
Lin Cheng quickly understood why these people would rather use this method to climb. They didn't fly on their flying weapons because the gale here wasn't as peaceful as below. Furthermore, there was a strong fluctuation coming from the white fog around them.
A shattered space!
Lin Cheng could not help but feel a chill in his heart. There was actually a shattered spatial zone here?
In other words, this place shouldn't be too far away from the peak, but in contrast, the danger within was also greatly increased.
For example, if a gust of strong wind suddenly blew by while flying on a flying weapon... If one was not careful, one might be blown away. When that time comes, if they come into contact with the shattered space... He was afraid that other than the Divine Ability Stage Expert Feng, there was no one else present. None of them had a chance to live!
However, although the danger had increased, Lin Cheng wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he thought of something else.
Since there was a broken spatial zone here, it meant that Ancient Times must be a place for battle. Only when the Most Powerful Person was fighting here would the spatial zone be shattered.
Then, could there be other traces left behind by the Most Powerful Person of Ancient Times?
For example, the weapon of the Most Powerful Person?
Or perhaps a fragment?
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin Cheng also took out the Great Arrow and easily stabbed it into the ice layer, starting to climb upwards.
However, the moment the Great Arrow pierced through the layer of ice, Lin Cheng was slightly surprised. Because he discovered that the ice layer was incomparably hard. If he did not take the Great Arrow, if it was an ordinary weapon, it was likely that he would not be able to pierce through the layer of ice.
"No wonder these people seem to be struggling so much. Every time their weapons thrust out, it was as if they were attacking with all their strength. It turns out that this layer of ice is actually so hard!"
Lin Cheng couldn't help but think. But after thinking for a moment, he understood. The ice layer here had existed for an unknown period of time. Under the attack of the biting cold wind, the ice layer naturally became incomparably hard.
This made Lin Cheng frown. He was not afraid that the ice layer was too hard and too strenuous, but he vaguely realized that his previous speculation was a little too optimistic.
One of the main reasons Lin Cheng climbed the snow mountain was to search for treasures. It included rare treasures, various kinds of Heaven-earth Treasure, high grade spirit herbs, Spirit Plant, and so on and so forth. And among these, for him... The treasure that he wanted the most right now was one of the main ingredients to refine the Marrow-washing Pill. Cold Chalcedony!
This Cold Chalcedony grew in an extremely cold place. The bone-piercing cold here, as well as the shockingly rich spiritual energy, all completely met the requirements for the Cold Chalcedony to grow.
However, Lin Cheng was a little worried when he discovered such a hard layer of ice.
Because, the Cold Chalcedony was simply unable to grow on this hard ice layer!
This also meant that it was almost impossible for the Cold Chalcedony to exist on this snow mountain, and his hope was also dashed.
However, Lin Cheng was not too disappointed. There was no Cold Chalcedony on this snow mountain. He could still go to other extreme cold lands outside of the mystic realm to search. Compared to the rarity of the Spirit Cattail Seed, the Cold Chalcedony was not difficult to obtain.
Even if he couldn't obtain any treasures this time, it wouldn't be a wasted trip. Just his physical body had broken through the limit of endurance, making up for the weakness of his physical body that couldn't keep up with the Cultivation Level realm. This was already an extremely huge harvest for him.
"This place isn't too far away from the top of the mountain. If you continue walking upwards, you might lose your life at any moment. I suggest that you all stop here and search around this area."
Expert Feng's voice suddenly sounded.1
Senior Brother Zhang from the Unification Sect nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Feng, for escorting me."
"Oh!"
Expert Feng nodded and continued to climb. After a while, he disappeared into the cold fog.
Like the spiritual energy, the cold fog here was much denser than below. If dog shit used the spiritual sense to investigate, his eyes could only see things that were dozens of meters away at most. This was only possible with the eyesight of an Incarnation Stage warrior. If the Cultivation Level was slightly weaker, then... He was afraid that being able to see a few meters away was already a pretty good idea.
As for this Divine Ability Stage warrior, none of them dared to use the spiritual sense to probe him. They could only watch as he disappeared from their line of sight.
Lin Cheng immediately realized that Expert Feng wanted to go to the mountaintop alone to search. Perhaps, there was something on the mountaintop that could attract this person's attention.
If that was the case, why did Tong Chenen not discover it when he came to investigate?
"Everyone, let's split up and search here."
Senior Brother Zhang's voice sounded, interrupting Lin Cheng's thoughts.
The others nodded and stopped climbing up. Instead, they spread out and started searching.
Lin Cheng thought for a while and decided not to continue climbing. Although he was not too affected by the Great Arrow, he was not affected by it at the moment. The hard ice could not do anything to him, but he did not want it to be too obvious. Even if he had to continue walking, he did not want to be seen by the crowd.
