Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1826: Chapter 584: Soul as Spiritual Form, Terrifying Cultivation Speed_2

Sure, here’s the translated text from the Chinese novel:

It’s important to know that this Spiritual Body was once scorched by the Soul Suppressing Tripod’s fire; now, it only has its head remaining. If it can break free with just a head, how would I fight it in its full strength state relying on my Bone Appearance?

Xia Hong’s brow furrowed, gazing around himself. With the Soul Lamp illuminating above him, his vision extended far; in the Dark Realm’s blue-tinged environment, the glow emitted by Spiritual Bodies was conspicuous.

He could see, countless Spiritual Body creatures drifting around. Although most resemble the forms of the dozen or so he eliminated, there were also some medium to large ones, varied in form: beast, object, plant, even water flow and gas, all strikingly bizarre.

Xia Hong pondered for a moment, then focused his gaze on the head gripped by his Bone Appearance, asking in a deep voice: “Where is this place? Who is the Lady Yulou you mentioned earlier, and where is she?”

The head struggled briefly, realizing it couldn’t escape Xia Hong’s grip, resigned to its fate. Upon hearing the question, it immediately replied: “Dark Realm’s Qi Mountain Realm, this place is called Mist Swamp Forest, west lies White Bone Mountain, Lady Yulou is the master of White Bone Mountain.”

Qi Mountain!

Upon hearing this name, Xia Hong’s expression jerked, his countenance shifted drastically.

“The Yin Yang Mirror of the Dark Realm Qishan Demon Lord, it descended into the Ice Abyss!”

“Qishan Demon Lord… the Yin Yang Mirror of Qishan Demon Lord, how could you have this thing, how is it possible, ah… ah…”

Xia Hong first heard the name Qi Mountain from Master Wusheng; later, during the ninth year of Great Xia when traversing the Bone-Eroding Path, using the Shattering Divine Light against Black Wind General, where it was brought up again.

Though it was only mentioned in two lines, Xia Hong’s memory of it was exceedingly vivid.

The power of the Yin Yang Mirror needs no elaboration. Since the first year of Great Xia when He Yuanhun and Xia Hong divided these two mirrors, the Shattering Divine Light function alone repeatedly helped him escape danger, defeating formidable foes.

The origin of this mirror is immense!

Virtually every Deceitful Monster could recognize it instantly, including the White Dew Monster and subsequent encounters; its power was formidable, and origin astonishing, enabling the inference that its true owner, Qishan Demon Lord, is unquestionably a terrifying entity.

To be called a Demon Lord in the Dark Realm, can it be a simple matter?

Stumbling into the Dark Realm was one thing.

Unexpectedly, fortunately or unfortunately, he arrived directly at Qi Mountain Realm!

Xia Hong’s expression darkened, suddenly thought of something, raised his head and scanned around, eventually resting his gaze eastward, his body trembled vigorously.

Having regained his sight earlier, he had briefly skimmed around without thorough inspection. Upon closer examination, the supposedly black cloud-like shadow east of his position turned out to be a towering and majestic mountain.

The lower regions of that grand mountain emitted copious fluorescence. He had noticed this before, attributing it to distance; many Spiritual Body creatures clustered together creating such visual effects.

Now sharply aware, the glow was so bright from afar; up close, how expansive would the fluorescence be?

A guess flashed in Xia Hong’s mind, then he swallowed slightly and asked the head in his hand:

“What is the white fluorescence beneath that mountain?”

The Spiritual Body’s head first paused, then looked in the direction Xia Hong pointed, fear rising in its pupils, it quietly said: “Those are the billions of Spiritual Forms imprisoned by the Demon Lord; in the Dark Realm, without material entities, the Demon Lord gathered these Spiritual Forms to elevate Qi Mountain, rumored to break open the Dark Realm’s dome and descend into the Great Abyss.”

Great Abyss?

Hearing this name, Xia Hong’s brows furrowed slightly, then he raised his head to look at the Dark Realm’s sky, much similar to earlier, with all in sight being dark blue, leaving no trace of any other substance.

But upon reviewing through the Soul Lamp above, a new discovery emerged.

Beyond the blue light, a subtle frost white hue appeared faintly!

No, not subtle—a vast, overwhelming frost white; without the blue light’s obstruction, the world would be entirely coated in white frost.

“So, the Great Abyss is the Ice Abyss, just terms differ; Qi Mountain Demon Lord has constantly desired descending into the Ice Abyss, what’s its purpose?”

Xia Hong felt a jolt internally and continued asking: “How is strength divided among your Spiritual Bodies? The Lady Yulou you mentioned earlier, what’s her strength, how far is White Bone Mountain from here?”

Previous dialogues among the Spiritual Bodies revealed considerable information already; Li Baobao, along with Xiahou Yong and Jiang Yiqing, headed towards White Bone Mountain. Li Baobao’s fate he could ignore, but not Xiahou Yong and Jiang Yiqing.

Both of them only possess Cold Resistance Level Cultivation; they have not yet formed Spiritual Forms or Bone Appearances, leaving them vulnerable, wondering how they survived.

“The lowest level in the Dark Realm, like my unformed kind of Spiritual Body, is usually called Scattered Spirit; once formed, it is called Demon Spirit; if thoroughly solidified, able to wield Netherworld Soldiers and don Nether Armor, it becomes a Demon Soldier; the next level is materializing into Demon General; above that is known only as Demon King, specific details are unclear.”

Though brief, upon hearing this, Xia Hong’s complexion became more somber.

He possesses Xianyang Level Cultivation, with a Bone Golden Body over eight yards tall, unable to control even a Scattered Spirit at full strength. For the ensuing Demon Spirits, Demon Soldiers, and even Demon Generals and Demon Kings, unless he has the Soul Suppressing Tripod and Yang Mirror, he’d be facing death.
