<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This... is the Icy Sword Pool of Sword Land really going to be destroyed?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Grand Elder could clearly feel the temperature rising and the snow-covered mountains beginning to collapse. His expression changed again.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"What on earth is going on?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After over a hundred years of seclusion, he and the Second Elder had emerged to find Sword Land undergoing such earth-shattering changes.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">For a moment, he found it hard to accept.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He wanted to stop Su Jingzhen and pull him out, but the Sword Master had explicitly said not to interfere.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Then what's the point of me being here? Even when I broke through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, my Dao heart wasn't as tormented as it is now."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he muttered to himself, the Grand Elder gently waved his hand, releasing a powerful energy that stabilized the collapsing snow-capped mountains.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">...
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This seems a bit wasteful."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Under the protection of the Nine-Colored Purifying Flame, the extremely cold energy was steadily tempering his body.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Every moment, his strength grew slightly.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, all the cold energy that entered his body contained powerful energy, but after tempering his body, it dissipated.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He couldn't control it, let alone absorb it.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The cold energy he was using for tempering would be an unparalleled treasure for someone who cultivated this type of power.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This extremely cold energy belongs to the water element of the five elements.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If I raise my water spiritual roots to the emperor grade, would it make a difference?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen muttered to himself and pulled up his attribute panel.
[Metal Spiritual Roots (Ordinary): 23/100]
[Wood Spiritual Roots (Emperor Grade): 0/20000]
[Water Spiritual Roots (Ordinary): 25/100]
[Fire Spiritual Roots (Emperor Grade): 0/20000]
[Earth Spiritual Roots (Ordinary): 32/100] Fоr сhаrасtеr shееts аnd glоssаriеs, visit МV|LЕМРYR.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After a moment of thought, he decided to allocate the points.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the past, he had to save points due to scarcity, but now that he had enough, he needed to upgrade his spiritual roots.
[Water Spiritual Roots (Mysterious): 0/200]
[Water Spiritual Roots (Earth): 0/1000].
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">...
[Water Spiritual Roots (Emperor Grade): 0/20000]
[Remaining points: 22,676].
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without hesitation, he upgraded his water spiritual roots to the emperor grade.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now, he had three types of Emperor-grade spiritual roots, which would undoubtedly place him at the top of the cultivation world, even at the Immortal Emperor level.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The metal and earth spiritual roots were currently useless, so he didn't bother upgrading them.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After upgrading his water spiritual roots to the Emperor grade, Su Jingzhen's perception of the Icy Sword Pool completely changed.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The water elemental power, including the cold energy, now felt somewhat familiar to him.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He could still feel the bone-chilling cold, but the cold energy entering his body now seemed slightly controllable.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He could integrate it into his flesh and blood, slowly guiding it toward the seventeen Secret Repositories he had opened.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Each of Su Jingzhen's Secret Repositories contained the newly condensed Supreme Flame. When the cold energy entered, it was instantly extinguished by the flame.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The level of cold energy I can absorb now is too low. It's no match for my Nine-Colored Purifying Flame."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen frowned again.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He had a premonition that if the flame and cold energy could reach a balance within his seventeen Secret Repositories, his cultivation and physical body would ascend to a new level.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"It seems that in order to achieve this goal, I'll have to reach the realm of Profound Saints and acquire this broken sword.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The cold energy scattered in the void is still too weak."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After muttering to himself, Su Jingzhen's heart settled. He continued to absorb the cold energy and temper his body in this location.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Cultivation knows no time.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In this state, three days passed quickly.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After three days of continuously absorbing cold energy and tempering his body, Su Jingzhen's physical level had reached the eighth level of the Physical Spirit Saint realm, extremely close to the ninth level.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now, he only needed to open one more Secret Repository to advance directly to the realm of Profound Saints.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, the cold energy he absorbed was still repelled by the Nine-Colored Purifying Flame, as its level was still insufficient.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The fixed points over the past three days had given him over a thousand points.
[Remaining available points: 23,747].
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"It's about time. At this location, the cold energy can no longer affect me, and the tempering effect has reached its limit.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In order to continue, I'll have to allocate points. Several days have passed. If I don't leave soon, Sword Master and the others will come looking for me after they finish their tasks."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen knew that the broken sword and the Immortal Heavenly Serpent's corpse were undoubtedly as important to Sword Land as the Sword Qi Corridor.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">What he planned to do was to remove this place completely.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If the Sword Master and the others came and saw what he was doing, they would surely stop him. Therefore, he needed to act quickly.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without hesitation, Su Jingzhen directly opened the Inner Pass Acupoint!
[Body Tempering: Open Eighteen Secret Repositories!
Physical Level: Profound Saint Realm (Second Stage)
Next Secret Repository to Unlock: Tian Tu Acupoint (0/3000)]
[Remaining Available Points: 20,947]
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing that his physical level had reached the Profound Saint Realm, Su Jingzhen was ecstatic.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Moreover, after opening the Secret Repository, he still had over twenty thousand points left.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Little Green, Little Green, this place is truly extraordinary. I've lived up to the expectations and reached the Profound Saint Realm.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Can we start acquiring this thing now?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Inside the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Su Jingzhen's consciousness once again found Little Green and spoke these words.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The massive tree swayed slightly.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"You truly are a born body cultivator. Opening the secret repositories is as easy as drinking water for you.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if there's a powerful being living inside you that helps you connect the Secret Repositories."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Little Green's tone was full of amazement, with a hint of suspicion.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen was stunned for a moment and felt a bit nervous.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He couldn't help but feel grateful that the points were used to open the Secret Repositories.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, every body cultivator could advance two or three minor realms by opening Secret Repositories, as it tapped into the body's innate potential.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If he had directly advanced two or three realms, it would have undoubtedly raised Little Green's suspicion.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"It's just a good environment and good luck," Su Jingzhen explained casually before changing the subject.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Now that my cultivation should be able to withstand most of the cold energy, and I've already gotten used to the freezing sensation over the past few days, can we start acquiring the broken sword? I can't wait any longer."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Little Green's massive tree swayed again. "We can give it a try."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As the words fell, Su Jingzhen looked down again, his eyes filled with eagerness.
