Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 543 Catching the Dragon in the Deep Pool (Seeking Subscriptions)

The edge of the extremely cold and gloomy pool was deathly silent.

The three demon lords, Wugu, Juesha, and Mingyu, had faces ashen.

Gazing at the bottomless, bone-chillingly cold pool, his heart was filled with resentment and frustration.

They went to great lengths, using the Golden-Winged Demon Swallow as bait, to set up the Blood Demon Lure Array and lure the Ice Demon Dragon ashore.

Despite their combined efforts, the three of them were still unable to subdue the Ice Demon Dragon.

The Ice Fiend Demon Dragon retreated to its lair, and with the help of the icy pool, its power increased exponentially, leaving them even more helpless.

At this moment, Shen Xuan walked over calmly, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked composed.

Beside him, the Demon Lord Wanmeng smiled sweetly, her beauty captivating, her joy undisguised.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanbing, what do you want?"

The Boneless Demon Lord was already frustrated, and now, there was a hint of anger in his words.

Shen Xuan glanced at the three of them, then looked at the churning, frigid pool, and said solemnly, "It was agreed before. The three of you would make the first move, and I would observe. Now, the three of you have failed, and the demonic dragon has escaped back into the pool."

“If you do not venture into the icy pool to pursue them, it will be my turn to make a move.”

"You want to go into the icy pool?"

The voice of the Demon Lord of Absolute Fiends carried a hint of sarcasm, "Fellow Daoist Xuanbing, do you know that this pool is called the Extreme Yin Cold Pool? The water in the pool contains Extreme Yin Ice Fiend, and it is the absolute home ground of that Ice Fiend Demon Dragon."

"The pool is over a thousand feet deep, and the water pressure is as heavy as Mount Tai. Although you are a Golden Core cultivator of the Ice Law, you may not be a match for that Ice Fiend Demon Dragon in this frigid pool."

The three of them, on the shore, attacked the Ice Demon Dragon, but all suffered heavy losses.

Although Master Xuanbing has a great reputation, he is still a newly promoted master.

They didn't believe that Shen Xuan would dare to venture deep into the extremely cold and yin pool, and confront the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon alone at the bottom of the thousand-foot pool.

Shen Xuan smiled slightly, without explaining, and said to Wanmeng, the Demon Lord beside him, "Wanmeng, wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

Demon Lord Wanmeng's eyes gleamed with a strange light as she obediently said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, be careful."

Amidst the astonished and uncertain gazes of the three Demon Lords, Shen Xuan turned around and calmly walked towards the Extremely Yin Cold Pool.

A layer of crystal-clear, azure light emanated from his body. With a single step, he silently sank into the pitch-black, icy pool, his figure vanishing instantly.

"He just went on like that?"

The Boneless Demon Lord cried out in shock, his gaunt face filled with disbelief.

"He's courting death!"

The Demon Lord of Absolute Fiends was taken aback at first, then sneered, "A newly promoted True Person, indeed arrogant. He actually dares to physically penetrate this extremely cold pool. Without the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon even lifting a finger, the ice fiends in this cold pool alone can severely injure his physical body and freeze his soul and inner core."

The shadow around the Demon Lord of the Underworld fluctuated violently, clearly indicating that he was extremely unsettled.

He thought to himself, even though he was a ghost, he dared not be so presumptuous as to directly plunge into this extremely cold and yin pool.

Moreover, they also had to face the Ice Demon Dragon.

The three looked at each other, all feeling that Master Xuanbing was too arrogant and reckless.

Only Demon Lord Wanmeng, looking at the calmed surface of the pool, had a slight smile on her lips.

After Shen Lang hunts down this Ice Fiend Demon Dragon, how can we get benefits from him?

Originally, her agreement with Shen Xuan was that the demon core and essence would belong to Shen Xuan, while the rest would belong to Demon Lord Wanmeng.

She needs the flesh of the Ice Fiend Dragon to refine into the Blood Demon Pill, thereby enhancing her divine soul power and suppressing the backlash of her seductive arts.

However, Shen Xuan solved this problem.

Shen Xuan gifted her the "White Bone Contemplation Inner Vision Method".

This is authentic Buddhist introspection.

After Wanmeng Demon Lord began her cultivation, the results were excellent.

Although he had only completed the first level, he was already able to forcibly suppress the backlash of his seductive arts.

"Shen Xuan is still wary of me. I need to get my hands on the later levels of the [White Bone Observation Inner Vision Method] first."

"Besides, with such a generous harvest, he should at least share one of the magical weapons with me."

"Two pieces would be best."

Wanmeng, the Demon Lord, pondered to herself.

Upon hearing the Demon Lord Juesha's mockery of Shen Xuan, Demon Lord Wanmeng smiled slightly.

"Why are you three in such a hurry? Please calm down."

The Demon Lord of Absolute Fiends sneered, "Fellow Daoist Wanmeng, are you perhaps bewitched by that True Person Xuanbing? You just witnessed how ferocious that Ice Fiend Demon Dragon was..."

His words stopped abruptly.

At this moment, the entire icy pool suddenly froze.

The pitch-black pool water, which had been churning and exuding an icy aura, suddenly became as still as a huge piece of black amber.

"This……"

The three demon lords' expressions changed drastically, and they all took a step back, their eyes filled with horror.

The subtle ice energy in the extremely cold pool suddenly disappeared.

They practiced demonic arts and were acutely sensitive to the cold, icy energy.

"How is this going?"

"Someone has taken all the ice energy from that icy pool!"

"How can it be!"

Demon Lord Wanmeng's smile grew even more radiant: "His Daoist title is Xuanbing. What is a mere Cold Pool Ice Fiend to him!"

……

Deep within the extremely cold and gloomy pool.

Cold, dark, and silent.

The icy aura of the Frozen Pool, powerful enough to freeze even a True Demon Lord, surged in from all directions like a tidal wave.

However, Shen Xuan felt no discomfort at all while in the midst of it; on the contrary, he felt as comfortable as a fish in water.

Divine thoughts moved slightly.

Shen Xuan's body shimmered with light, and his form subtly changed.

Soon, he transformed into a crystal-clear ice dragon.

Its scales and claws were clearly defined, its horns were rugged, and the icy chill it exuded was even more ancient and pure than the icy aura of the Cold Pool.

After Shen Xuan transformed into a dragon, the raging icy aura surrounding him, like subjects meeting their king, all obediently surged into his dragon body, where they were rapidly refined and absorbed, transforming into pure elixir essence.

"Moo!"

The Xuanbing Flood Dragon let out a pleasant roar.

Within this extremely cold and yin pool, Shen Xuan's inner energy was slowly increasing.

With a flick of its tail, it tore through the dark pool water and flew towards the bottom of the pool like a transparent bolt of lightning.

The deeper one goes, the purer and richer the icy aura in the cold pool becomes.

In some places, even tiny black ice marrow has condensed.

Shen Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and swallowed it all.

We'll spend time refining it after we get out.

For him, this extremely cold and yin pool was simply a treasure trove for cultivation.

Unfortunately, this is within the territory of the Liang Kingdom. Shen Xuan cannot stay here for long.

Following the aura of the Ice Demon Dragon, Shen Xuan finally found it in a huge glacier at the bottom of the pool.

At the same time, the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon sensed the Xuanbing Flood Dragon that Shen Xuan had transformed into.

The two dragons gaze at each other.

The Ice Demon Dragon's eyes were cold and filled with a violent aura.

Clearly, he sensed Shen Xuan's killing intent.

"Roar!"

The Ice Fiend Demon Dragon let out a furious roar and spewed out a stream of icy energy, shooting towards the Xuanbing Flood Dragon.

It cannot understand why its kind would appear here.

Moreover, its aura made it tremble.

Without any further words, Shen Xuan summoned the Ice Soul Divine Sword.

【Ice Soul Divine Light】!
A transparent, solid, cold light tore through the pool water and instantly struck the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon.

The Ice Fiend Demon Dragon's scales were instantly covered with a layer of bone-chilling ice, which quickly spread throughout its body.

It swung its dragon body, channeled the demonic power of its demon core, and urged the ice energy to resist and resolve the conflict.

The ice stopped spreading.

The areas that were originally covered began to melt.

Shen Xuan unleashed the Purple Gold True Water Seal.

【Mystic Ice Dragon Shadow】!
A phantom of a Xuanbing Divine Dragon, formed entirely from pure Xuanbing ice, roared out from the Purple-Gold True Water Seal, carrying the pressure of freezing divine souls, and coiled around the body of the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon.

"Crack!"

The piercing sound of freezing echoed again.

The Ice Demon Dragon's struggles instantly slowed down.

The previously melted ice was further strengthened and began to spread again.

Fear flashed in the eyes of the Ice Demon Dragon, and it turned to flee.

However, Shen Xuan's attacks were like a storm, without the slightest pause.

This is in an extremely cold and gloomy pool, at the bottom of a thousand-foot-deep pool.

With no one around, Shen Xuan didn't need to hold back.

【Immortal Ice Lotus】!
A giant phantom of an ice lotus suddenly bloomed around the Ice Demon Dragon.

On the nine lotus petals, different mysterious runes flowed.

At this moment, the lotus petals transformed into an indestructible ice crystal cage, enveloping the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon within.

No matter how the Ice Demon Dragon roared and charged.

The ice lotus cage remained motionless, its petals flowing with Daoist energy, continuously absorbing the icy energy from the pool to solidify the illusory ice lotus and transform it into a tangible form.

"seal up!"

Shen Xuan snorted coldly.

The Ice Lotus Cage began to close and shrink.

The Ice Demon Dragon inside let out a desperate wail.

Under the suppression of the Immortal Ice Lotus, it lost its power to resist.

The primordial ice spiritual power emitted by [Mysterious Ice Dragon Shadow] and [Ice Soul Divine Light] began to unleash its power.

After more than ten breaths.

The Ice Demon Dragon completely lost its movement, transforming into an ice sculpture encased in an ice lotus.

Shen Xuan returned to human form, made a hand seal, and shrunk the ice lotus that sealed the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon until it was the size of a fist, then put it into a specially made storage jade box.

Then, he scanned the demon dragon's lair with his divine sense.

Scattered inside were numerous pieces of extremely yin ice marrow and mysterious cold iron, as well as seven or eight Nether Ice Grass and Ice Spirit Flowers that absorbed ice energy to grow, all of which were precious ice-attribute spiritual objects.

Shen Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and with a wave of his hand, put them all into his storage bag.

The Ice Grass and Ice Spirit Flower were carefully collected and placed into a specially made jade box.

These can be transplanted to the Spirit Plant Garden on Starshine Island.

Each one can grow into an ice-attribute Core Formation spirit.

Having done all this, he moved, transforming back into a Xuanbing Flood Dragon, and sped towards the surface of the pool.

"puff!"

The extremely cold and yin pool splashed up towering waves.

The Xuanbing Divine Dragon, twenty zhang long, stood proudly above the icy pool, its eyes wide open, radiating an ancient and majestic divine dragon aura.

Beside the extremely cold and yin pool, the Boneless Demon Lord, the Absolute Fiend Demon Lord, and the Netherworld Demon Lord were on high alert, each summoning their demonic weapons and warily eyeing the Xuanbing Flood Dragon.

His face betrayed his shock.

“Fellow Daoists, there’s no need to be nervous. This is the dragon incarnation of True Person Xuanbing.”

Beside her, Demon Lord Wanmeng said with a smile.

She guessed Shen Xuan's intention.

He revealed his dragon form, warning the three demon lords not to act rashly.

It's not that Shen Xuan was afraid of them.

Located within the territory of Liang Kingdom, within the sphere of influence of the Demonic Sect.

Shen Xuan was unwilling to engage in reckless conflict and become entangled with the Liang Kingdom's Demonic Sect.

After all, his purpose in coming here was simply to hunt down the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon.

There's no need to complicate things.

The Demon Lord's wealth is not worth the trouble he has to incur.

Shen Xuan saw that the three Boneless Demon Lords were stunned.

Then he let out a long howl.

He swayed and staggered.

It transformed back into human form.

Demon Lord Wanmeng asked in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Fellow Daoist Shen, is the matter finished?"

Shen Xuan calmly swept his gaze over the three demon lords and said indifferently, "With this matter settled, I will take my leave."

"Fellow Daoists, until we meet again!"

After saying that, he summoned the Silver Horned Pegasus.

He and Demon Lord Wanmeng rode on the Silver Horned Heavenly Horse, spread their wings and flew away, quickly disappearing into the depths of the sky.

The Boneless Demon Lord, the Absolute Fiend Demon Lord, and the Underworld Demon Lord looked at each other in bewilderment.

There was a sense of powerlessness in everyone.

half an hour.

The Boneless Demon Lord then said in a low voice, "The three of us are like frogs in a well, with a limited view of the sky. Meeting True Person Xuanbing today is our good fortune, and we have come to realize the vastness of the world. Let us return to the mountain and cultivate properly!"
