<h1text-align:" center"=""><spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chapter 1146: The Immortal Heavenly Snake
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Deep within the Sword Land headquarters, behind the two snow-capped mountains where the Sword Qi Corridor is located, the landscape remains blanketed in ice and snow.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At the center of this frozen expanse was a pool that emitted a faint, chilling mist.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon arriving here, even the unprepared Su Jingzhen couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This place can be considered a unique cultivation ground,"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Sword Master remarked with a slight smile as he gazed at the icy pool.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"If Young Friend Su can move freely here without relying on any external power, using only the strength of your physical body, it will undoubtedly have a significant tempering effect on your physique."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Before Su Jingzhen could ask any questions, the Sword Master continued, "Inside this icy pool lies the frozen corpse of an ancient Immortal Heavenly Serpent! This is the opportunity we are offering to the Chaos Heavenly Serpent.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If she can successfully absorb the bloodline power of the Immortal Heavenly Serpent, there is a high chance that her already extraordinary bloodline will further evolve, transforming her into a Chaos Immortal Serpent!"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"If such an evolution were to occur, her bloodline would rank among the very top within the entire Demon Beast Realm.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At that point, even a supreme Five-Clawed Golden Dragon would be no match for her."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's heart trembled once again.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The name Immortal Heavenly Serpent was not unfamiliar to him. It was a being of comparable stature to the Chaos Heavenly Serpent.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If the two of them were to merge, the result would indeed be earth-shattering.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Sword Master, what level has the Immortal Heavenly Serpent reached in this ice pool?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen asked.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"A 16th stage Great Demon, equivalent to an Immortal Emperor!"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Sword Master replied.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen was ecstatic. This was undoubtedly enough to resolve the grudge caused by Sword Master's earlier act of severing Bai Suzhen into two and sealing her away.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Su Jingzhen's consciousness immediately traveled to the Elven Forest.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">There, he found Bai Suzhen with Su Bingbing and Su Huohuo engaged in a discussion with the Elven Elder.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this scene, Su Jingzhen hesitated.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Sensing that the atmosphere between the Elf Elder and Bai Suzhen was exceptionally harmonious, he chose not to disturb them.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Moreover, a unique rhythm of the Great Dao had begun to manifest around them.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His main body then turned to the Sword Master and said, "Bai Suzhen won't be able to come over for a while. It might take some time.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, since this place is also beneficial to my body cultivation, I won't stand on ceremony, Sword Master."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Sword Master nodded and handed Su Jingzhen a sword-shaped token.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This is my personal Sword Master token. With this token, you have unrestricted access to any place in Sword Land. There are no forbidden areas for you."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"With that, Young Friend Su, feel free to make yourself at home. I have some business to take care of in Sword Land, and I also need to look into the affairs of the Sword Ancestor," the Sword Master said with a smile.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without waiting for Su Jingzhen's response, he took a step and vanished from the icy pool.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Playing with the token in his hand, Su Jingzhen glanced at the icy pool before him, his expression brimming with excitement.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The token given to me by the Grand Elder of the Immortal Palace hasn't been used yet, and now I have this Sword Master Token.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Doesn't that mean that I can pretty much roam around the Emperor's Realm freely now?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After storing the token, Su Jingzhen withdrew all the defensive measures he had instinctively activated earlier.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The bloodline power within the dozen or so secret repositories in his body also calmed down.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Relying solely on the strength of his physical body, he stood at the edge of the icy pool.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Once he withdrew his powers, the biting cold instantly assaulted him.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A layer of frost visibly formed on his face, and his blood seemed to stop flowing. Before long, his body had turned into an ice sculpture.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Just as he was about to reach his limit, the Flesh and Blood Flame spontaneously ignited within every inch of his flesh, melting the ice and freeing his frozen body.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, the frost would quickly return, and the cycle would repeat itself.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Through this process, Su Jingzhen could feel every part of his flesh becoming increasingly resilient.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Gradually, even the cold air around the icy pool could no longer freeze his flowing blood.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A whole day had passed just by standing at the edge of the pool.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, Su Jingzhen paid no attention to the arrival of the fixed points.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He remained fully immersed in the process of tempering his body with cold energy.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Over the course of the day, he had not been idle.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">By now, Su Jingzhen could move freely around the icy pool using only his physical strength without relying on any external power.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His body cultivation had also increased significantly, reaching the second level of the Physical Spirit Saint realm.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This feels amazing!"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's eyes burned with excitement.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The feeling of breaking through without relying on points was incredibly satisfying.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without hesitation, he took a step forward and plunged into the icy pool.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Qiu Yaoyao and Shengana had already left, while Zhang Xiu, Lin Ying, and the others were still busy in Sword Land.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Ning Yao was with Zhang Xiu, so there was no need to worry about her.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With the fixed points providing a steady stream of points, Su Jingzhen decided to make the most of this peaceful period to focus on his own cultivation.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As soon as he entered the water, the intense cold hit him like a tidal wave, causing him to shiver violently.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This time, it felt as if even his soul was on the verge of freezing.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The experience of being in the pool was entirely different from standing at its edge.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen was both shocked and fascinated.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He immediately activated the Flesh and Blood Flame to protect himself.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This time, he was determined to rely solely on his own strength for this cultivation session, without seeking help from Little Green or Bai Suzhen.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, even with the Flesh and Blood Flame enveloping his body, the cold was not completely dispelled.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"What exactly is at the bottom of this pool?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, his curiosity growing.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, the Sword Master had mentioned the Immortal Heavenly Serpent, but such extreme cold was not one of its known attributes.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He suddenly recalled the trace of extremely cold energy that Shuang Jiang had left within his body.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The coldness of this pool seemed to be no less powerful than what Shuang Jiang had imparted.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Shuang Jiang must truly be the master of the Extreme Ice Palace. If I can harness the opportunities here, it might prove useful when I meet her again," Su Jingzhen thought.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen had always attached great importance to meeting Shuang Jiang.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As the Flesh and Blood Flame continued to surge from within him, battling the relentless cold, Su Jingzhen found himself unable to move even in the shallow parts of the pool.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His body remained frozen like an ice sculpture.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, as time passed, he gradually adapted to the cold.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Every cell in his body began to absorb and transform the cold energy.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Under the dual tempering of the cold and the Flesh and Blood Flame-a combination of ice and fire-his physical body grew stronger once more.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The bloodline power within the dozen or so secret repositories also became more refined.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In less than a day, his physical strength had reached the third stage of the Physical Saint realm.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At the same time, the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame appeared within him.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Stimulated by the extreme cold, it began to merge with the Flesh and Blood Flame for the first time.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's heart raced as he sensed a new possibility opening up before him.
