My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 406: Chapter 192: Ultimate Yin

(My apologies, I was a bit dazed while writing and overlooked a detail... The Martial Arts Examination is in June, and Qin Fang even ran into the new batch of exam candidates when he left home. That means it can’t be snowing right now... I’ve corrected it. Sorry about that.)

The further he walked, the denser the blue mist became.

But Qin Fang’s Divine Sense was completely useless in this place.

He could only rely on his naked eye.

At first, he could still see a dozen or so meters ahead. But the further he went, it was as if he had entered a world of blue... The mist was so thick he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face.

Qin Fang knew the coldness here increased every ten meters, so he was naturally cautious.

...’God only knows how deep this place is.’

After another ten meters, the mist ahead grew even thicker, but he hadn’t reached the end yet. He tentatively reached out his hand.

The next moment, a faint CRACKLE came from his fingertips, and the faint glow of True Essence surged!

He drew a sharp breath. ’The Abyss Water Armor... it’s actually struggling to hold up here?’

Qin Fang had currently cultivated his Abyss Water Armor to the Fourth Layer and was in the process of constructing the Fifth Layer.

...Every layer of the Abyss Water Armor required a large amount of Profound Turtle Shell Powder. Qin Fang had invested quite a bit into it, but since he also had to cultivate the two Leaf Skills, Mirror Flower Water Moon and Celestial River Reversal, the progress on his Abyss Water Armor had been affected.

In his current position, the cold only penetrated two layers of his Abyss Water Armor, so Qin Fang didn’t feel much of it.

But just one step further, and it actually penetrated all four layers!

His fingers were already feeling a stinging pain.

...However, after circulating his True Essence, he could feel the cold being pushed back slightly.

’But it seems... that doesn’t really mean much.’

Because he probably wouldn’t be able to get past the next level of cold.

And from the looks of it, there wasn’t any kind of Treasure or anything else of value inside...

’What in the world is this place? It doesn’t feel naturally formed... First there was the stone bowl with the mysterious liquid. Deeper in, there was a Treasure Plant... and then another stretch of empty space.’

’If it were naturally formed, the mysterious liquid might be plausible... but the Treasure Plant is inexplicable.’

’If the seeds had landed there naturally and it was a suitable place for that Treasure Plant to grow... then it’s impossible that there would be only one.’

’And after the Treasure Plant, there’s another stretch with nothing at all...’

Qin Fang’s brow furrowed tightly.

He stared at the blue region ahead, where he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face.

He hesitated for a long moment before finally pulling his hand back.

’Forget it, I won’t overthink it... One day, I’ll figure out what’s going on here.’

’First, let’s see how effective it is to cultivate the ”Profound Nether True Water Scripture” here!’

Qin Fang’s eyes lit up.

...In this spot, the True Essence in his body was even more active!

It was as if it couldn’t wait.

Qin Fang, too, had long been eager.

He wanted to see just how effective it would be.

Without further ado, he sat down cross-legged.

Outside, he could only cultivate this Root Skill during the Zi Hour each day.

Now, in this Cold Cave, he wanted to see... if he could cultivate it even though it wasn’t the Zi Hour.

He hesitated no longer. Assuming a meditative posture, he instantly entered a state of Contemplation and began to cultivate the Profound Nether True Water Scripture!

The instant he entered a state of Meditation and his True Essence stirred, he felt an unbelievably dense stream of Ultimate Yin Primordial Power pass through his Divine Fire, cross the Heaven and Earth Bridge, and pour violently into his body.

Almost in that same instant, a loud CRACKING sound rang out. The moment the Ultimate Yin Primordial Power merged with his True Essence, the meridians through which it passed froze solid!

Qin Fang’s eyes snapped open, the color draining from his face in an instant.

With no time to hesitate, his body erupted into motion. He activated Mirror Flower Water Moon and charged straight out!

SHOO!!

In an instant, his figure crossed dozens of meters, and he burst out of the Cold Cave.

A cracking sound continued to emanate from him as his entire body began to freeze over. The frost crept up his eyebrows from the roots.

He didn’t pause in the slightest. With a thunderous BOOM, he smashed directly through the giant boulder blocking the entrance!

He shot out in a single burst, finally landing on a mountaintop.

By now, his entire body was covered in frost, and it was spreading wildly.

Where his feet landed on the ground, the once-lush vegetation was instantly engulfed by spreading blue ice!

Qin Fang’s body trembled. He had no time to worry about the ground beneath him; he dropped to the ground and began to frantically circulate his True Essence.

That Ultimate Yin Primordial Power was too terrifying!

So terrifying that when Qin Fang closed his eyes to look inward, he found his very bones and flesh were being furiously eroded, as if they were about to turn into Ice Crystals!

Suddenly, a thought struck him. With all his might, he pulled the bottle of mysterious liquid from his robes and, without a second thought, poured it into his mouth.

After swallowing a mouthful, he sat cross-legged and began to focus all his effort on the Contemplation of the ’Profound Nether Realm-Breaking Awl’ to guard his Dantian and Kidney Palace!

His True Essence also surged wildly in the process, trying to absorb this terrifying Ultimate Yin Primordial Power!

But gradually, more and more Ice Crystals formed on his body.

In just a short time, his entire person had turned into an ice sculpture. Moreover, crystals were appearing on him, accumulating thicker and thicker...

The intense cold spread downward from where he sat. The grass and plants froze, and even the trees in the distance began to congeal into ice with a CRACKLING sound.

...It was currently the peak of a hot summer, yet this mountaintop was transforming into a world of ice and snow at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Qin Fang’s consciousness sank into absolute silence. In his entire world, only that surging Ultimate Yin Primordial Power remained!

At the same time, a faint power seemed to stir from within his very bones.

But soon, he could no longer perceive it.

Because it was too cold!

Unprecedentedly cold!
