Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 180 Tianshan
Considering that there was still some time before his training in various countries, Fang Yu did not intend to waste his time. He made a special trip back to Shanghai to continue consolidating his cultivation at the famous Three-Step Tower of his alma mater.

What makes the Three-Step Tower unique is that it has many layers, each with a slightly different elemental compression intensity. Fang Yu only used it for breakthroughs, but anyone with higher cultivation levels can still cultivate inside.

I soaked it for a whole week, and finally the ice element reached the second level.

Stepping out of the Three Steps Tower, a rare snowfall in Shanghai lightly blanketed the campus of Mingzhu University, adding a touch of charm to the already vibrant campus.

……

Because the Snow Maiden is in the process of breaking through her limits and needs some powerful assistance, Fang Yu is preparing to set off for Tianshan.

The Snow Woman granted her ice-type abilities absolute dominance under special enhancements, but she also needed to become stronger to compensate for her domineering state without relying on the Snow Woman's possession.

Let's go!

Upon entering Pan Town, Fang Yu first found an inn to stay in. Located on the southern slope of the Tianshan Mountains, Pan Town is a very famous secluded town where many adventurers stop.

Fang Yu arrived at the town's most luxurious three-story inn. After a bath, he felt refreshed.
A speechless night!
Covered in snow year-round, ancient glaciers stand majestically. The higher the altitude, the more terrifying the snow and ice cover becomes.

After spending two days traveling through the low-altitude mountains, stopping and starting along the way, Fang Yu's aura became increasingly pure, clearly indicating that simply staying in such a place had already given his body and mind a baptism.

The air here felt exceptionally comfortable to him; the pure, icy aura made him feel like he was floating on air. Although each breath felt like a baptism, his body couldn't fully withstand it; he was only at the high-level cultivation stage, far too weak in terms of power.

Upon reaching the meadow layer, covered with thick alpine meadows, the view was mostly green mountains and plains, ethereal and sacred, beautiful and magnificent! He now rested temporarily in a rare coniferous forest, avoiding the cold winds of the Tianshan Mountains blowing from the gaps in the mountain ridges.

"Lai Lai!!"

A strange vibration came from afar, and the needle-like leaves swayed. Fang Yu scanned his surroundings but found nothing. After listening for a few minutes, Fang Yu frowned and said, "Nothing?"

The creatures of Tianshan are among the most ferocious and cunning of all demonic species. He dared not underestimate them!

"Frozen coffin!"

Heavy, coffin-like blocks of ice emerged, and the frozen coffin, appearing without warning, crashed down.

This coniferous forest, which had taken countless years to grow, was suddenly shattered, with wood chips flying everywhere and the mountains shaking.

A figure in icy blue sensed something was wrong and quickly slipped into the darkness, disappearing ghost-like into the coniferous forest.

"Did they run away?" Fang Yu got up, preparing to leave the coniferous forest. The ground was covered with a layer of fallen leaves, which made a slight sound when stepped on.

Just a few steps before he was about to leave the coniferous forest, Fang Yu dodged quickly, but his back was still almost scratched by the wolf's claws.

"Annoying! If you're determined to die, then there's nothing I can do!"

Fang Yu suddenly stopped and turned around. His silver pupils flashed with a powerful telekinetic light. With a wave of his hand, he scattered the ice dust and wood chips. Some tree trunks, solid ice, and boulders were mixed in and flew away in various places with his powerful telekinetic force.

A faint, icy blue shadow could be seen running wildly, being intercepted by various flying objects, forcing it to change direction and flee at breakneck speed.

The Icefield Shadow Wolf's body is white amber in color, giving it a translucent texture. However, it is not smooth; it has thick, handsome fur.

It must be said that this Icefield Shadow Wolf is incredibly fast, moving nimbly and shifting its position everywhere. When it runs at full speed, it is like a streak of icy blue light.

"Spatial Rhythm and Time Lag!"

Fang Yu used spatial magic once again, and a huge silver rhombus-shaped area appeared above.

In this space, everything with a movement trajectory is restricted by a spatial swamp. Fang Yu's time delay is also quite sophisticated; the constantly moving figure clearly becomes sluggish and labored, giving the impression of being in slow motion. "Hide, hide for me!" Fang Yu sneered.

The silver constellation was quickly drawn, and Fang Yu completed a high-level spatial magic in a very short time.

"Teleportation!"

A beautiful silver pedestal appeared beneath the Icefield Shadow Wolf's feet. Just as it was about to flee, the spatial magic beneath its feet suddenly activated, instantly lifting it into the air.

"Eternal Ice Flower!"

A gust of eerie wind swept down from the sky, carrying with it a dense array of ice petals that danced and tumbled down in a magnificent display.

These ice petals are increasing in number, and sometimes they gather together to form an ice flower that can freeze the Icefield Shadow Wolf inside.

The Icefield Shadow Wolf roared, its aura surging forth. Instinctively, it brandished its claws, breaking free from the ice. As it emerged, covered in frostbite, it suddenly crashed into an invisible wall. It quickly turned back in another direction, but it was clear that Fang Yu had laid a trap, sealing off all directions. The Icefield Shadow Wolf had nowhere to escape.

"Spatial Rhythm - Crack!"

At the neck of the Icefield Shadow Wolf, space strangely distorted slightly, a spatial rift suddenly opened, and its head rolled to the ground.

After crossing the coniferous forest, Fang Yu casually chopped down an ice bear. The guy was peeking around and was unlucky enough to be dealt with.

Just as Fang Yu was preparing to rest in the ice bear's cave.

"Swan, swan~~~~"

Countless white ice crystals rippled through the clouds, and the wind and snow swept across thousands of miles.

"What is that sound?" Fang Yu asked, startled.

Fang Yu looked up and was horrified to see what was happening before him...

It blotted out the sky, its entire body radiating a white glow so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at it, and it swept swiftly across Fang Yu with divine might!
Soaring away.

Seeing the divine bird fly away, Fang Yu stopped paying attention and turned to leave.

Demons of that level are beyond the reach of someone with their current cultivation level.

……

During his journey, Fang Yu encountered an ice python that had been crouching beside a fragment of a soul seed. Fortunately, he remained highly vigilant and thus escaped unharmed.

Fang Yu knew very well that fighting them would be a thankless and exhausting task. His goal was the Soul Seed fragments; what was the point of fighting demons?
He summoned the Golden Ape to block the Ice Python, used "Instant Teleport" to get past it, picked up all the Soul Seed fragments, and then turned and ran.

However, when the ice python saw that the treasure it was guarding had been stolen, it immediately shoved aside the golden ape and charged towards Fang Yu, its eyes turning red.

However, the ice python's tail was grabbed by the golden ape's claws, pulled back, and slammed straight down onto the glacier, knocking the ice python unconscious!
Not satisfied, the golden ape swung it 360 degrees and hurled it, smashing the ice python into the glacier. The python tried to struggle, but the golden ape finished it off with its thunderous palm.

He cautiously panned for gold along the way, and when Fang Yu realized that he was about to leave the rich meadow layer, he was actually a little reluctant to leave.

The places that truly nurture resources are deep in the mountains, forests, rivers, and lakes. Demons always get there first than humans. Fang Yu hasn't experienced such wealth in a long time.

Fang Yu would normally have had a difficult time climbing here, but after being intimidated by the supreme being high above, many of the Tianshan demons seemed to have hidden in their lairs. Fang Yu was able to easily avoid some troublesome areas and reach this place relatively easily.
