Chapter 630 Snow Soul Pearl, A Fortuitous Opportunity (Two chapters combined, 8,000 words, please subscribe)
"You shouldn't be here."

Hearing the sound carried by the wind, He Qixing's face was filled with shock.

How dare they speak to Lord Su like that?

Doesn't he know who Lord Su is?

With Lord Su's current strength, even Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, wouldn't dare to speak to him like that, right?
Despite being a Void Returning Realm expert, he didn't even have a chance to struggle under Lord Su's command.

Even if this mysterious person who helped me improve my strength is powerful, he might not be much stronger than Lord Su.

How dare he speak to Lord Su in such a condescending tone? Does he really think that Lord Su is a kind person just because he looks kind?
Everyone in the Taiping Division knows that this Lord Su has fought his way up to where he is today.

His bloodthirstiness is rare even in a place like Taiping Division.

Anyone who thinks that Lord Su is a kind-hearted person is truly deceived by his appearance.

If we really anger this person, the consequences will be unimaginable.

There is no one in the world he wouldn't dare to kill.

Wasn't it because Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, angered him that the Lingnan Three Prefectures have become a powerful force in the world?
Fortunately, I held my breath and looked ahead at the snow valley in the distance with trepidation.

The snow was so thick that he couldn't see a soul at all.

However, he knew that Su Mu and that mysterious person were inside the snow valley.

The aura emanating from there gave him a deadly sense of crisis.

He had a feeling that if he dared to take another step closer, his life would be in real danger.

He was tense and had mixed feelings.

For him, one was a former comrade-in-arms, and the other was someone who had been kind to him.

Emotionally speaking, he would not want to see either of them suffer any harm.

But rationally speaking, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with him anymore.

How fortunate he was, he was merely a pawn in someone else's game.

Now that the players have appeared, who would still consider the idea of ​​a chess piece?

But now, he, this pawn, has become a witness.

Perhaps, he is about to witness an epic battle.

…………

In the snow valley.

Su Mu stood there calmly.

Several feet away from him stood another person.

The man was very strange; his face was covered by a thick layer of white mist, making it impossible to see his features.

Even his voice was altered using power.

Only those eyes were as deep and unfathomable as the sea.

At this moment, the Heavenly Silkworm Rama was perched on the other's shoulder, seemingly exhausted from its long journey, and had already closed its eyes and fallen into a deep sleep.

Luo Mo Tiancan is lazy, so it's not easy for him to run such a long distance in one go.

"Whether I should have come or not, I'm already here. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Su Mu said calmly.

Why should I explain it to you?

The other person's tone carried a hint of sneer, "Do you really think this outer realm is yours now? That everyone has to answer to you before they do anything?"

Unfortunately, you can't control me.

I don't need to explain what I do to you.

As for you, you trespassed into my secluded retreat. I'm already giving you face by allowing you to leave.

If you continue to pester me, then you're being rather ungrateful.

"So much nonsense."

Su Mu said coldly.

Before he could finish speaking, his figure had already vanished.

When they reappeared, they were already in front of the mysterious man.

A distance of several meters was covered in the blink of an eye.

Su Mu unleashed a punch, swift and decisive.

His punch was not delivered using any martial arts techniques, but was a pure burst of power.

His speed and power had reached their limits; his fist even sparked with fire due to friction with the air.

The force of the punch created a raging storm, whipping the mysterious man's hair and crashing against the surrounding mountain walls.

There was a loud bang.

The snow that had accumulated on the mountain walls for countless years was stirred by the wind and began to rush downwards.

How fortunate I was to have seen this punch from afar; I was utterly terrified by it.

What kind of power is this?
Without using any martial arts techniques, the sheer power of his explosive strength alone is immense.

If he were facing this punch, he would have no way to avoid it and would only die from it.

Su Mu had shown mercy back in Pengzhou.

Otherwise, he could have easily punched himself into a pile of mangled flesh.

Could that mysterious man withstand such a powerful punch?

He thought to himself, "How fortunate I am."

At this moment, the mysterious man also raised his hand.

He also threw a punch.

The two fists collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.

Su Mu swayed slightly, while the mysterious man was sent flying backward, his feet leaving the ground.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Su Mu took a step, and the shadow followed him.

He threw punches like the wind, each one heavier than the last, relentlessly striking the mysterious man.

The mysterious man was not to be outdone and also resorted to fists and kicks.

Fists and feet collided, and a strong wind howled.

Even the blizzard that was avalanche-like was knocked away by the force of their combined energy.

During the avalanche, not even a single snowflake could penetrate within a radius of several meters around the two of them.

Fortunately, he managed to protect his head and face, and no longer cared about concealing his body.

He also knew that with the strength of Su Mu and his companion, they must have known he was nearby long ago.

He leaped into the air, avoiding the avalanche, and continued to watch from a distance.

In his eyes, the fight between Su Mu and the mysterious man was very direct, but the power of both sides had reached an incredible level. Every collision released enough power to seriously injure a Void Returning Realm expert.

He was fortunate to see it clearly, but he couldn't understand the level of understanding between the two.

However, in his opinion, Su Mu still had the upper hand.

This discovery filled him with awe.

That mysterious person helped him improve his cultivation level twice.

The martial arts techniques that the other party taught him directly enabled him to reach the Void Returning Realm.

Even such a powerful figure was at a disadvantage when facing Su Mu.

How incredible is this?
It should be noted that Su Mu was several decades younger than He Qixing.

When Su Mu first began cultivating martial arts, he was already at the Nascent Soul stage.

He was fortunate to have received help from others to reach the Void Returning Realm, while Su Mu had already reached an unknown level.

Comparing people—

Well, comparing himself to Su Mu is just him overestimating himself.

…………

While He Qixing was marveling at Su Mu's strength, the mysterious man was also marveling at Su Mu's strength.

Su Mu, on the other hand, was marveling at the mysterious man's strength.

During his trip to the Taixu Sacred Realm, Su Mu successively killed two Heavenly Fate Realm experts.

Although those were just two paper-thin Destiny Realm cultivators.

But at least it proves that Su Mu's strength is no less than that of an ordinary Heavenly Fate Realm expert.

After returning to the outer realm, his strength did indeed decline somewhat compared to when he was in the Taixu Sacred Realm, but others were also affected by the environment.

If everyone falls, then it's the same as no one falling.

In this situation, the fact that the mysterious man could fight him to a standstill means that the other party's strength is no less than his.
Moreover, his opponent was fighting him using only his physical strength!
Among the martial artists Su Mu has encountered in his life, there are quite a few who have pursued the path of physical immortality.

From Zhuge Jingang in the earliest period to Tian Cangchen in the Wuzong era.

Zhuge Jingang, who used to be able to fight him for hundreds of rounds, is now far behind him.

Tian Cangchen's physical achievements are much stronger than Zhuge Jingang's, but compared to Su Mu, there is still a gap.

The mysterious person in front of them had a physical body that was slightly stronger than that of Tian Cangchen, a Martial Grandmaster, and was comparable to Su Mu.

Su Mu was aware of his own situation.

He has already mastered the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique to the highest level. Of course, he wouldn't have been able to reach this point without the help of the system panel.

He was well aware of how difficult it was to cultivate one's physical body to this level.

The opponent's ability to cultivate the martial arts to the point of physical sainthood is not to be underestimated.

boom!
He punched out.

The mysterious man crossed his arms to block, and his figure was once again blasted back hundreds of feet.

He burst into laughter.

"As expected of the world-renowned Su Mu, I've learned a lot."

The mysterious man laughed loudly, "That's enough for today, we'll meet again!"

The words have not yet fallen.

A powerful force suddenly surged from the mysterious man.

The next moment, Su Mu suddenly stopped and then retreated backward at an incredible speed.

Just then, the mysterious man exploded with a bang.

A mushroom cloud rose into the air.

The mysterious man's body has completely disappeared.

Even with Su Mu's experience, he was momentarily stunned.

Self-destructed?
Although the opponent is at a disadvantage, it doesn't necessarily mean they will lose. Why would they choose such a drastic way to self-destruct?
No.

wrong!

The other person just said "see you later".

He didn't self-destruct.

He used this method to escape.

Su Mu frowned, but the mysterious man's body had indeed been shattered in the explosion. How could he possibly have such a method of escape?
Unless, this body is merely a clone of the other party.

It's like Su Mu's Myriad Golden Body.

If the Myriad Manifestations Golden Body self-destructs and dies, Su Mu's physical body will not be affected.

"It was just a clone?"

Su Mu was also somewhat shocked. If a clone could fight him to a standstill, how powerful would the real body be?
However, an immense fighting spirit immediately surged within Su Mu.

He encountered countless formidable enemies along the way.

Now, it's just one more competitor.

No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than the Celestial Venerable?
No need to worry if you have too many debts, no need to worry if you have too many lice.

"What a pity about the Rama Heavenly Silkworm..."

Su Mu sighed and muttered to himself.

His initial purpose in coming out was simply to find the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm.

Who would have thought that things would turn out this way?

Now, things have gotten even worse. The identity of the mysterious man hasn't been figured out, and Luo Mo Tiancan has been destroyed by his self-destruction.

Just then, Su Mu suddenly saw something wriggling in the snow not far ahead.

Su Mu was taken aback, then overjoyed.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand, and a force completely sealed off an area within a hundred feet.

Having learned his lesson last time, how could he let the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm escape again this time?

Just as he set up the blockade.

really.

The celestial silkworm Rama flew up from the snow, leaving behind a glimmer of white light before fleeing into the distance.

As a result, it crashed into Su Mu's force with a bang, leaving it dazed and seeing stars.

Before it could regain its senses, Su Mu had already moved swiftly to its side and reached out to grab it in his hand.

A chilling aura emanated from the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm, seemingly trying to freeze Su Mu's hand.

But what kind of physique did Su Mu possess?
Even the chill emanating from the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm could not harm him in the slightest.

He simply smiled faintly and casually put the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm into the blessed land inside the Yin Yang Cauldron.

The blessed land inside the Yin-Yang Cauldron is quite large, enough for it to do whatever it wants.

After doing all this, Su Mu raised his head and looked in one direction.

Fortunately, he felt Su Mu's gaze, and he braced himself and fell from the air, landing in front of Su Mu.

"Master Su."

He clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "How fortunate I am."

"You've seen it all, so what are your thoughts now?"

Su Mu asked calmly.

"Lord Su's strength is boundless; he is invincible and unbeatable..."

How fortunate that he could speak so fluently.

Su Mu's forehead veins throbbed, and he couldn't help but interrupt him.

"Stop!"

If he keeps talking, I'll turn into the Starry Sky Immortal.

How fortunate that he looks so handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes, yet he's such a smooth talker. No wonder that mysterious person chose him as a pawn.

"I'm asking you what you think about yourself."

Su Mu said.

"Myself?"

He Qixing was somewhat bewildered. He felt that he was too weak compared to Su Mu. Was this considered a thought?
However, he is weaker than Su Mu, which is not even worth emphasizing, and Su Mu probably wouldn't seek a sense of superiority over him.

He Qixing pondered for a moment and understood Su Mu's meaning.

He had previously told Su Mu that he chose to stay in Pengzhou and establish his own power base instead of following the Taiping Division's main force to the three prefectures of Lingnan because he did not want to bring trouble to the Taiping Division.

After all, he accepted the mysterious man's help, and he would inevitably be blackmailed by the mysterious man in the future.

If the mysterious man asks him to deal with Su Mu and Taiping Si, how should he choose?

Rather than being caught in a dilemma later, it's better to keep your distance from Su Mu from the beginning.

In this way, even if the mysterious person wanted to make him betray the Taiping Division, there was nothing he could do.

It now seems that Su Mu is not afraid of that mysterious person at all.

Su Mu was clearly forcing him to make a choice.

He Qixing sighed inwardly.

really.

In chaotic times, it's impossible to stay out of it; ultimately, you have to choose sides.

The difference is which side he chooses to stand on.

"Lord Su, aren't you afraid I'll become a traitor?"

"How fortunate," he said in a deep voice.

"Can you?" Su Mu asked in return.

"I do not know."

He Qixing smiled bitterly, "My current level of cultivation was ultimately obtained with someone else's help. If one day he asks me to return it, I cannot refuse."

"You can't pay me back, but I can."

Su Mu said calmly.

He Qixing was taken aback, not expecting Su Mu to say that.

Does he mean that he bears the responsibility for the cause and effect between himself and the mysterious person?

Su Mu was indeed as domineering as the legends said, giving himself no chance to choose at all.

If I refuse his offer, I fear this snowy mountain will be my burial ground.

"Since Lord Su has already said so much, what else can I say? I am willing to lead my brothers to follow Lord Su."

He Qixing clasped his hands in a fist and said in a deep voice.

“Pengzhou will now be your territory, Lord Su.”

Since he's going to join the three prefectures of Lingnan, he might as well just bring Pengzhou along with him.

"However, my lord, Pengzhou is not a strategically important place. If the Great Xuan finds out, their army will march straight in, and Pengzhou will be indefensible..."

He Qixing said.

"You don't need to worry about that. You should return to Da Xuan immediately and contact Dongfang Liuyun yourself. At that time, the three states of Lingnan will naturally find a way to defend Pengzhou."

Su Mu said calmly.

He was bound to have a battle with Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and now that the territory was being offered to him, he certainly wouldn't refuse it.

Fortunately, he was quite capable, but Su Mu valued his governance skills even more.

In this time of great chaos, how fortunate he is to have managed to govern Pengzhou with peace and tranquility. This skill is even more remarkable than his martial arts cultivation.

The Lingnan Three Prefectures have no shortage of Void Return Realm martial artists, but they are desperately lacking in governance talent.

Apart from a handful of people like Dongfang Liuyun, Tushan Hanyu, and Luo Anning, the rest of his men, including Mo Xuesong, Shi Binbin, and Ao Qing, were all martial artists.

Letting them conquer the world is fine, but letting them govern it will only lead to chaos.

Even Su Mu himself was completely ignorant about governing the world.

However, he knows how to use people.

Having witnessed He Qixing's governance abilities, Su Mu naturally wouldn't let go of this rare talent.

After sending He Qixing back to Da Xuan first, Su Mu did not rush to embark on his return journey.

Instead, they returned to the snow valley.

These snow-capped mountains and valleys have now been filled in by avalanches.

The avalanche triggered by the fight between Su Mu and the mysterious man almost affected the entire snow-capped mountain.

Fortunately, this place is covered in ice and snow and is rarely visited by people.

Otherwise, such a massive avalanche could have killed countless people.

Su Mu stepped onto the thick white snow, and suddenly a flame rose from his body.

In an instant, the snow began to melt.

Crash.

The snowmelt flows and gathers into a stream, and then into a river.

The snow valley, which was originally covered by a thick layer of white snow, is beginning to reveal itself again.

Su Mu hovered quietly in the air until the snow valley was revealed again, then he slowly descended.

This place is where that mysterious person lived in seclusion and cultivated his spiritual practice.

Now that mysterious person has escaped by self-destruction, he is gone, but he cannot take the place with him.

Su Mu guessed that since he was cultivating in seclusion here, there must be some traces related to him left here.

Now Su Mu is filled with curiosity about his identity and background, so he naturally wants to investigate it thoroughly.

Moreover, someone with the cultivation level of this mysterious person wouldn't choose a secluded cultivation location casually.

That is why Su Mu went to such great lengths to clear the snow from the valley.

Once the snow was cleared away, Su Mu looked around the snow valley and soon discovered a cave.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mu flew straight into it.

As soon as Su Mu entered the cave, he felt a chill rush towards him.

That chill was even stronger than the chill emanating from the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm.

Even with Su Mu's physique, he felt a chill that penetrated to the bone.

His body surged with power, and he finally felt a warmth within him, and the sensation of his blood almost stopping disappeared.

Su Mu looked up and saw a stone platform in the center of the cave, on which sat a snow-white bead the size of an infant's fist.

A chill was constantly emanating from the bead, causing white mist to swirl around it.

"This is--"

Su Mu couldn't help but show a look of surprise and delight.

"Snow Soul Pearl!"

Su Mu recognized the origin of the snow-white bead at a glance.

The Snow Soul Pearl is formed from the essence of ten thousand years of ice and snow, its chill penetrating to the bone, and its uses are endless.

No wonder that mysterious person was in seclusion here.

He was probably using the power of the Snow Soul Pearl to refine his body.

The chilling sensation, when used to temper the body, can enhance physical strength more effectively.

The reason why the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm flew here after leaving He Qixing is probably related to the Snow Soul Pearl.

The Snow Soul Pearl, containing the essence of ten thousand years of ice and snow, is exactly what the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm likes the most.

There is even a legend that if the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm can devour the Snow Soul Pearl, it will undergo a metamorphosis.

As for what it will eventually transform into, no one knows.

Because the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm is rare and the Snow Soul Pearl is even rarer, the chance of both appearing at the same time is almost zero.

"I arrived too suddenly, so the mysterious person didn't have time to take away the Snow Soul Pearl."

Su Mu thought to himself, "This is my luck."

As Su Mu observed the Snow Soul Pearl, at least a hundred ideas about how to use it flashed through his mind in an instant.

As a weapon forger who had mastered the Qiankun Creation Technique, he had many ideas he wanted to implement in the Snow Soul Pearl.

However, Su Mu had another bold idea: to feed the Snow Soul Pearl to the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm.

The Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm is a rare and wondrous creature. If the Snow Soul Pearl is fed to it, it may undergo a transformation and become even more useful.

Of course, transformation can be better or worse; it's a gamble.

Whether it's worth the gamble, that is the question.

If the bet is lost, both the Snow Soul Pearl and the Rama Heavenly Silkworm will perish.

If the gamble pays out, there's a chance to obtain a new Luomo Heavenly Silkworm that's even more precious than the one we have now.

"If I were to use the Snow Soul Pearl to forge weapons, even with my current mastery of the Qiankun Creation Technique, I could only forge one or two Heavenly Fate level divine weapons at most."

But if you use Snow Soul Pearls to feed the Rama Heavenly Silkworm, and then the Rama Heavenly Silkworm uses it to spin silk…”

Su Mu thought to himself.

The amount of celestial silk that a single Rama silkworm can produce in its lifetime is quite considerable.

Most importantly, forging divine weapons is a one-time process, while the Rama Heavenly Silkworm can be produced continuously.

"One or two Heavenly Fate-level divine weapons can only improve my strength to a limited extent, but the continuous production of Heavenly Silk is indeed very important to me."

Su Mu thought to himself, "This is something worth taking a gamble on."

Thinking of this, Su Mu flipped his wrist and directly pulled the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm out of the Yin Yang Cauldron.

When the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm came out of the Yin-Yang Cauldron, it was still struggling, but as soon as it came outside, it froze.

His beady green eyes suddenly turned to the Snow Soul Pearl, and drool dripped down the corners of his mouth.

If Su Mu hadn't been holding it by hand, it probably would have already pounced on the Snow Soul Pearl.

"Luo Mo Tian Can, you should be able to understand human speech. As long as you stay by my side obediently from now on, I will give you this Snow Soul Pearl."

Su Mu spoke slowly.

Luo Mo Tiancan nodded vigorously, without hesitation.

A drop of blood, white as paste, suddenly flew out from between its eyebrows and flew towards Su Mu.

Su Mu neither dodged nor flinched, letting the drop of white, semen-like blood fly into his brow.

This is the blood of the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm, and it is also the condition for it to recognize its master.

With this drop of heart's blood, Su Mu could take its life at any time.

For the sake of the Snow Soul Pearl, the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm directly chose to recognize a master.

This made Su Mu chuckle to himself.

He easily released his hand.

Swish!
The Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm pounced on the fist-sized Snow Soul Pearl with lightning speed, opened its huge mouth, and began to bite it with a crunching sound.

The Snow Soul Pearl was several times the size of the Rama Heavenly Silkworm, but the Rama Heavenly Silkworm managed to bite off a piece of it.

Su Mu's eyelids twitched as he read it.

That's a Snow Soul Pearl, formed from the essence of ten thousand years of ice and snow.

In these great snow-capped mountains, there is a Snow Soul Pearl that may only form once every ten thousand years!

It was eaten up by the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm just like that, and even Su Mu felt a little sorry for it.

He simply turned his head away, refusing to look any further, lest he lose control and snatch the Snow Soul Pearl back.

Fortunately.

The clicking sound didn't last long.

Then Su Mu heard a soft rustling sound.

When I turned my head, I saw that the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm had already eaten the Snow Soul Pearl clean, and then it actually started to spin silk.

The Rama Heavenly Silkworm spun its silk extremely quickly. Soon, the snow-white silkworm silk had completely wrapped its body, and it continued to spin.

The cocoon made of silkworm silk grew larger and larger, until finally it became more than a foot long.

Su Mu's face lit up with surprise.

It's hard to say what form the Rama silkworm will take, but just the silk it contains is already a worthwhile investment.

The Snow Soul Pearl is indeed precious, but there is only one of its kind.

But the silkworm silk that Rama Heavenly Silkworm is currently spinning looks to weigh at least a pound.

How many pieces of armor can be made from a pound of silkworm silk?

A hundred or so items shouldn't be a problem.

If we were to use this pound of silkworm silk on a piece of armor...

Su Mu himself is indeed still lacking a top-tier piece of armor.

With this armor, he would even dare to venture into Purgatory.

To be honest, after the demon cat gave him Purgatory, he didn't really put it to any use except for scaring Martial Sect Vajra.

After cultivating the Qiankun Creation Method, Su Mu had the idea of ​​making the most of everything.

He found it hard to accept that he had the Purgatory in his possession but had been unable to use it effectively.

Moreover, his strength has stagnated for quite some time.

He had a feeling that purgatory might be a turning point for his cultivation breakthrough.

If he can overcome the purgatory, then perhaps his Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques can break through to the perfect state.

The Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, from its initial mastery to its perfection, would require an unknown number of points if achieved using system panel points.

At least for now, the system panel still shows a series of question marks.

Based on Su Mu's experience, the required points would be at least several billion.

If you can break through on your own, the points you save can be used to improve the Nine Tribulations Suppressing Prison Scripture and the Great Evolution Technique, or to improve your domain, which are all good options.

Points are never enough, so he has to work hard himself.

Every little bit helps; even landlords don't have surplus grain.

Just as Su Mu was thinking about these things, the cocoon suddenly doubled in size.

Only at this moment did the Rama silkworm stop spinning silk, and the cocoon cease its transformation.

A deep chill permeated the cave.

In an instant, even the air seemed to freeze.

A layer of white frost quickly condensed on Su Mu's body surface, and his hair and eyebrows all turned white.

The chill seeped into his skin and surged into his body.

This chill was many times stronger than the one emanating from the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm or the Snow Soul Pearl.

Even Su Mu felt he couldn't handle it.

However, Su Mu did not leave the cave.

On the contrary, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

With his current physique, even if one were to slash him with a divine weapon, it might not be able to harm his body.

But now, this chill is actually threatening to freeze his skin, muscles, and even bones.

This is the perfect opportunity for him to temper his physique!
The cultivation of physical martial arts involves constantly tormenting one's own body to make it stronger.

However, as martial artists who cultivate physical martial arts improve their skills, their bodies become stronger and stronger, making further tempering increasingly difficult.

Therefore, martial artists who practice physical martial arts prefer to train in harsh environments, such as amidst raging storms, under waterfalls, in lava and fire, or in icy and snowy places.

The mysterious person had gone into seclusion again to cultivate, precisely to utilize the icy power of the Snow Soul Pearl.

Feeling the chill creeping in, Su Mu naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

He circulated his internal energy and began cultivating the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique amidst the chill.

Deep in the snowy mountains, an avalanche has completely blocked the roads leading into the mountains.

There aren't even any animals to be seen here, let alone people.

In this quiet valley, Su Mu began to cultivate the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, starting with the most basic movements, one move at a time.

He performed the movements of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill over and over again, as if he were practicing it for the first time.

Not far away, the enormous silkworm cocoon continuously emitted a chilling aura capable of freezing everything.

The chill seeped into Su Mu's body.

At the same time, as Su Mu's blood flowed and he fought against the cold, the strength of his physical body gradually increased.

Extremely harsh environments are fatal to other martial artists.

However, for martial artists who cultivate physical martial arts, it is an opportunity that is rare and hard to come by.

Su Mu clearly felt the improvement in the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, but his mood remained calm, and he was completely immersed in cultivation.

He forgot everything, even caring about whether he gained anything, and focused solely on cultivating the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique.

He has entered the selfless state that martial artists dream of.

Cultivating in this state allows one's cultivation to progress by leaps and bounds.

…………

Just as Su Mu was immersed in cultivation, a group of uninvited guests arrived outside the Great Snow Mountain.

"Ancestor, is there really a Snow Soul Pearl here?"

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties said in a deep voice.

"of course."

Another man, who looked much younger, said, "Hundreds of years ago, I accidentally discovered the Snow Soul Pearl in the snow mountain, but it was not yet formed at that time, so I did not take it with me."

Now, centuries later, it should have taken shape by now.

"If we can find the Snow Soul Pearl, we can return to our sect. At that time, our Snow God Palace will soar to new heights."

The others spoke excitedly.

The young man, whom everyone called the Ancestor, also revealed a smile. "My Cold Heaven Technique has broken through to the final level. With the help of the Snow Soul Pearl, no one in the world will be my match!"
"At that time, I will lead you all back to your ancestral home in glory!"

"Now, let's go and retrieve our Snow Soul Pearl!"

The young man waved his hand and said loudly.
