This is not ordinary cold; it seeps into the Spiritual Energy and can penetrate the bones, so much so that one might not notice until their blood has frozen.
By the ti you realize you can’t withstand it, it’s too late, and you can only die in the Heavenly Spirit Pond.
In such an environnt, Ye Qingfeng’s Divine Sense had contracted several tis over and couldn’t fully expand; he had to use all his Spiritual Energy to protect his body to ensure the cold didn’t freeze him.
Ye Qingfeng continued to dive deeper, unaware of how many ters he had descended. By now, the cold was terrifying; Ye Qingfeng’s Spiritual Energy was starting to falter, and his body felt waves of terrifying chill.
Ye Qingfeng persevered, diving down. Now it wasn’t just a cold issue but also imnse water pressure.
In such a harsh environnt, if it weren’t for Ye Qingfeng, an ordinary Martial Artist in the War King Realm would likely fall here.
At that mont, Ye Qingfeng’s face lit up with joy; his Divine Sense detected a passage on the stone wall not far from him.
If it weren’t for Ye Qingfeng’s Divine Sense, in such deep, dark water, no one could have noticed that passage.
Ye Qingfeng dived into the passage. Though it was a bit narrow, it was still passable for a single person. The passage led upwards, and as he swam inside, it widened considerably, but the cold increased rather than decreased.
Ye Qingfeng bore the cold and followed the passage upward.
"Huff!"
Ye Qingfeng suddenly broke through the water’s surface. Following the passage, he unexpectedly erged from the water and, looking up, discovered a small grotto; this pool was connected to the outside Heavenly Spirit Pond.
And when Ye Qingfeng saw a purely white plant nearby, he was instantly shocked.
The plant stood about a foot tall; its main stem was straight with no branches. Its uniqueness lay in being entirely pure white and sowhat transparent, like a piece of jade.
"Ice Condensing Strange Yin Grass!"
Ye Qingfeng couldn’t help but exclaim. So this was where the Ice Condensing Strange Yin Grass was hidden, no wonder this pond was so cold, caused entirely by the Ice Condensing Strange Yin Grass.
The Ice Condensing Strange Yin Grass was partially subrged in the pond, gradually releasing Spiritual Energy into the water, making the Heavenly Spirit Pond outside imbued with Spiritual Energy and extrely cold.
Ye Qingfeng was ecstatic; he hadn’t expected to find a true Spirit Grass. His hope of returning to the Peak Battle King was rekindled!
Ye Qingfeng exited the water, looking at the Ice Condensing Strange Yin Grass. Unfortunately, this grass had already died, which explained the significant drop in Spiritual Energy in the Heavenly Spirit Pond, making it less useful than the Elixir Ye Qingfeng could casually refine.
The true value of the Ice Condensing Strange Yin Grass lay in its flower, the genuine Spirit Grass, which could help Ye Qingfeng break through to the Peak Battle King Realm.
Sadly, the flower of this Ice Condensing Strange Yin Grass was evidently gone, now in its late stage of life, devoid of Spiritual Energy.
However, a fruit still hung from the Ice Condensing Strange Yin Grass. This wasn’t for consumption or Alchemy. Ye Qingfeng gently pinched it, causing it to burst open softly, spilling over a dozen small seeds into Ye Qingfeng’s hand.
These seeds of the Ice Condensing Strange Yin Grass presented a new opportunity; with them, another plant could be cultivated. Fortunately, the flowering cycle of this grass wasn’t long; with careful nurturing, it could bloom quickly.
Ye Qingfeng had already made plans; he would take these seeds back, cultivate them, then eliminate the Hong Clan, after which he’d go into seclusion to refine Spirit Pills when the grass blood.
When he regained his Peak Battle King strength, the presence of the Invincible War God would partially return.
Strength is the eternal truth.
With plans set, Ye Qingfeng didn’t hesitate. Holding the Ice Condensing Strange Yin Grass’s seeds, he once again dove into the water. Unfortunately, he couldn’t directly place these seeds into a Space Ring because it’s an artificially created space, incomplete in both Five Phases and Six Directions, incapable of storing living beings.
If he inserted the seeds, they might lose their Life Force and never germinate.
Ye Qingfeng retraced his route, harvesting the seeds, and found the return journey much easier. Before long, he reached the water’s surface.
"Master, you’re back. Did you get what you wanted?" Piao Xue and Little Yue, now dressed, approached and asked.
Ye Qingfeng nodded, stepped out of the pond, and used Spiritual Energy to evaporate the water from his body before dressing.
Fortunately, his Space Ring contained extra dicine bottles. Ye Qingfeng placed the seeds in a bottle and tucked it into his pocket.
"Let’s go; we can leave Jiangdong now."
Ye Qingfeng led Piao Xue and Little Yue out. With the Heavenly Spirit Pond truly depleted of Spiritual Energy, his goals here were fulfilled, and they could return.
This visit to Jiangdong proved rewarding for Ye Qingfeng, obtaining the Poison Spirit Pearl and these Ice Condensing Strange Yin Grass seeds, giving hope for his recovery.
In truth, the item Ye Qingfeng prized most was the dragon-shaped jade pendant brought out by the Baji Sect. Although its nature was still unclear, Ye Qingfeng felt that the pendant’s value likely surpassed that of the Ice Condensing Strange Yin Grass.
The jade pendant appeared incomplete. If he could retrieve a complete version, Ye Qingfeng was eager to see its full function.
It could fully shield his Divine Sense, suggesting that the pendant’s origins were vast, but acquiring it entirely was challenging without luck.
Still, now wasn’t the ti for such thoughts. Ye Qingfeng took Piao Xue and Little Yue, boarded the Flying Sword, and left imdiately.
Ye Qingfeng decided first to return to Hai City, to escort Piao Xue and Little Yue back, ensuring they remained at Minghao District to protect Yun Xi.
A few hours later, Ye Qingfeng finally flew back to Hai City, though he didn’t fly over the city’s center. Upon reaching the city, he landed, intending to take a vehicle to Minghao District.
Ye Qingfeng had been walking through the city for a short while when he unexpectedly encountered a crowd gathered before a building, though he had no inclination to concern himself and rely used Divine Sense to casually scan the scene.
Apparently, soone had jumped from the building, and the area was cordoned off, drawing onlookers. With no interest in the unfolding incident, Ye Qingfeng lifted his foot to leave.
Suddenly, he furrowed his brow slightly, surprised that his Divine Sense had unexpectedly picked up an acquaintance.
