Cultivating To Immortality

"Can your magic power still hold out?" Fang Hong asked.

"No problem, I have plenty of things prepared." Xiao Yu was still very motivated.

So, the two found a relatively gentle mountain path and began to climb step by step towards the peak of the snowy mountain.

For every hundred zhang they ascended, the chill around them intensified a bit.

When the two finally reached the mountainside, a low growl suddenly came.

The two looked in the direction of the sound, only to see blue lights appearing in the snow ahead, and the accumulated snow suddenly wriggled, rapidly condensing like a living creature.

In an instant, they transformed into ten mighty white tigers, roaring and pouncing towards Fang Hong and Xiao Yu.

"Tiger-shaped Snow Monsters. Their strength has already reached the Late stage of Golden Core." Xiao Yu's expression changed slightly, and she summoned her Natal Long Spear Spiritual Treasure.

With a flick of her long spear, a blazing golden light shot out from the spear tip, instantly knocking back a pouncing snow-white giant tiger, which fell heavily onto the snow and rolled several times before stopping.

Fang Hong remained silent, took out his Skeleton Staff Spiritual Treasure, infused it with magic power, and purple light beams shot out, instantly blasting apart a white tiger.

Fang Hong continued to cast spells, showing no mercy. In front of his powerful magic power, these white tigers were simply no match. They were all blasted apart, and he collected their blue round pearls.

In less than a quarter of an hour, under Fang Hong's fierce assault, all ten white tigers were completely annihilated, disappearing into the wind and snow.

"It's a good thing Brother Fang helped out along the way, otherwise, if I had to deal with these snow monsters alone, it would have been quite tricky." Xiao Yu smiled sheepishly.

"Hmm, although these snow monsters are strong, compared to the demonic beasts in the sea, they still lack some spirituality." Fang Hong said calmly. With his current magic power, dealing with these snow monsters was nothing.

After speaking, the two did not waste time and continued to climb towards the peak of the snowy mountain.

Nearly an hour later, the two finally arrived at the summit of the snowy mountain. The cold Qi here had reached a terrifying degree.

Fang Hong clearly felt that the rate of magic power consumption in his body was actually three or four times higher than usual, which was startling.

"Look, that's Valley of Bliss. As long as we pass through that ice cave, we'll see the teleportation array and can leave this strange Extreme Cold Space." Xiao Yu pointed ahead, saying happily.

Fang Hong looked in the direction she pointed, only to see a protruding ice cave in one corner of the summit, seemingly leading somewhere.

"Why is it called Valley of Bliss?" Fang Hong asked curiously.

"Valley of Bliss is the final trial of the Extreme Cold Space. It is said that as long as one enters that ice cave, they will face various illusion attacks, and those with weak wills will be forever lost within them."

"So, Brother Fang, when we enter the ice cave later, no matter what illusions you encounter, you must not get lost in them." Xiao Yu explained.

"I see." Fang Hong nodded slightly, a warning already in his heart.

The two walked towards the ice cave, but just then, two blue lights appeared again ahead.

The accumulated snow on the ground began to gather again, growing larger and larger, eventually transforming into two tall ape-like snow monsters.

"There are still snow monsters ambushing us."

Xiao Yu's expression changed, and she immediately took out a blue long spear, which was the ancient treasure long spear she obtained in the ancient Immortal Cave that day.

"Be careful, the aura of these two snow monsters is even stronger than the previous ones; they have reached Core Formation peak." Fang Hong warned.

As soon as his voice fell, the two white apes roared to the sky, suddenly leaped several zhang high, and swung their huge fists, smashing fiercely towards the two.

Fang Hong and Xiao Yu quickly cast spells and dodged to the side.

With a loud "boom," the white ape's fist hit the ground, and the hard ice surface burst open, sending ice shards flying, an astonishing display of power.

However, after the attack missed, the two white apes did not pause at all, roaring again as they pounced towards the two.

Fang Hong immediately summoned the Heavenly Thunder Needle, which transformed into a sharp axe, and chopped it towards the white ape's fist.

Bang!

With a violent explosion, more than half of the white ape's body was instantly chopped to pieces by the sharp axe, and it roared incessantly.

Fang Hong let out a cold shout, threw the sharp axe in his hand, and chopped it fiercely onto the white ape's body, completely eliminating it.

On the other side, Xiao Yu took out a golden ancient mirror.

The ancient mirror suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light, firmly fixing the white ape, which was charging, in mid-air.

Seizing this opportune moment, she shook the blue long spear in her hand, which transformed into a cold light, piercing through the white ape's chest.

"Break." She cried out, and the blue light on the long spear surged, emitting bone-chilling coldness. The white ape was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.

Immediately after, with a "bang," it shattered into countless ice shards, dissipating into the air, and the battle ended.

Although Xiao Yu was only at the Late Core Formation Realm, she was, after all, the Young Miss of the Four Seas Sect. She probably carried many treasures with her, and that ancient mirror was a formidable ancient treasure.

"Phew. There shouldn't be any more snow monsters now, right?"

Xiao Yu put away her ancient treasure, let out a long sigh of relief, and quickly took out a bottle of medicinal pills, pouring them into her mouth to restore her depleted magic power.

"Brother Fang, do you need any spirit pills to replenish your magic power? I still have plenty." Xiao Yu took out another jade bottle and handed it to Fang Hong.

"No need, this amount of magic power consumption is nothing to me." Fang Hong waved his hand.

"Brother Fang's magic power is indeed unfathomable. I haven't seen you show the slightest fatigue all this way." Xiao Yu chuckled, her eyes filled with admiration.

At this moment, she had a new understanding of Fang Hong's strength. In the entire sect, apart from a few Grand Elders in the Nascent Soul Realm, perhaps no one was his match.

After a brief recovery, Xiao Yu's internal magic power had mostly returned, and the two set off again, slowly walking towards the mysterious ice cave.

The entrance to the ice cave was about five or six zhang high and wide, with inner walls made of blue ice crystals, clear and transparent, and a chilling Qi assaulted them.

The ice cave's passage was not very long; the end could be seen at a glance. Inside was a circular array platform, flashing with blue light, like some kind of teleportation array.

However, there were also some dilapidated dry bones on the ground of the passage.

"That's the teleportation array for passing through. As long as we can safely walk through this passage, we can proceed to the next layer of space." Xiao Yu pointed inside the cave, her face joyful.

"Those remains, they must be the people who failed the illusion test, right?" Fang Hong pointed to the dry bones on the ground.

"Yes, as soon as we step into the passage, we will trigger the illusion restriction." Xiao Yu nodded.

"Alright, then let's both be careful."

Fang Hong and Xiao Yu exchanged glances, then simultaneously stepped onto the passage. In an instant, a blue barrier enveloped the entire passage.

The two continued to walk forward, but before they had taken a few steps, Xiao Yu's figure suddenly froze, her eyes becoming dull, and a strange blue light enveloped her entire body.

Fang Hong was startled. Looks like Xiao Yu had most likely fallen into an illusion.
