Chapter 476 The Ice Vein Stirs, Eternal Jade Marrow

Five servings of the Heavenly Realm Breakthrough Set Meal didn't last more than ten minutes.

Liu Bo slurped down the last mouthful of soup. The bowl had barely hit the table when a wave of hot energy spread through his stomach, the look of satisfaction still lingering on his face.

The Yuan energy split into several streams along the meridians, surging towards the Qi Sea without any obstruction along the way.

Liu Bo's eyes lit up.

"They're here!"

Almost simultaneously, Luo Yurou, Rong Jing, Qingshan, and Wei Xiaoran also sensed the changes.

The five of them had already stopped at the peak of the Nine Heavens Realm.

With a full Qi Sea and abundant Yuan Power, all that's missing is that final hurdle.

Now, the executive dining room simply handed them the keys.

The "Burning Technique" within Liu Bo's body circulated on its own, and the purple-gold flames surged along his meridians. The Yuan energy blocked at the edge of his Qi Sea seemed to have suddenly found an outlet, crashing together towards that invisible barrier.

boom!

There were no repeated shocks.

The barrier that had been enough to trap a martial artist at the Ninth Heaven Realm for countless years disintegrated cleanly the moment it encountered the power contained in the package.

The Qi Sea expands outward.

The originally concentrated Yuan energy quickly spread out, vast and boundless, as if a true sea of Yuan energy had opened up within the body.

Liu Bo's aura suddenly intensified.

Heavenly Sea Realm!

On the other side, Luo Yurou's purple-gold flames flickered in and out.

As the Qi Sea expands, the flames brought by the Burning Technique also become more condensed.

A purple-gold flame brushed past the hem of her clothes, and the air around the table was slightly distorted by the heat.

Rong Jing's change was even more obvious; a wisp of golden flame rose from her shoulder.

The flames were small, but they were dazzlingly bright.

As her realm transcended the nine heavens, the wisp of solar fire seemed to have been satiated, slowly flowing around her body.

As soon as the nearby elemental energy approached, it automatically merged into the golden flames.

Rong Jing opened her eyes, looked at the quietly dancing solar fire in her palm, and smiled slightly.

After the breakthrough, she clearly gained more control over this power.

On the other hand, there was no fancy commotion from Qingshan's side.

There was no rock armor, nor any unusual bloodline phenomena.

Since the ancient rock demon bloodline was extracted, these things have long been irrelevant to him.

However, after losing the Rock Demon bloodline, Qingshan's true cultivation talent was completely unleashed.

As soon as the power of the meal entered his body, the surrounding elemental energy rushed towards him as if it had smelled the food.

Even Qingshan himself was stunned for a moment.

"I haven't even tried yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, his internal energy sea expanded dramatically, even faster than Liu Bo's by half a beat.

"Depend on!"

Liu Bo opened one eye. "Brother Shan, you're using cheat codes now without anyone knowing?"

Qingshan chuckled and quickly closed his eyes again to stabilize his cultivation.

Five different auras rose one after another in the executive restaurant.

After a few breaths, Luo Yurou opened her eyes, Rong Jing let out a long breath, and Qingshan stretched his shoulders.

Liu Bo even jumped up from the ground.

"It's done!"

He looked down and felt the sea of qi within his body, which was several times wider than before, his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

"Heavenly Sea Realm!"

Luo Yurou also checked her own condition and couldn't help but laugh, "Even though this isn't my first time at the executive restaurant, this breakthrough is still so smooth."

"Silky smooth?"

Liu Bo waved his hand, "This is called the martial arts of the rich."

"In the past, when it came to breakthroughs, it would involve seclusion, acupoint stimulation, and adjusting one's state, which could sometimes take a year or two."

"And now?"

He pointed to the empty plate on the table.

"Eat, pay the bill, Tianhai. Clear procedures, fair and honest service!"

Rong Jing chuckled at his words.

Qingshan was intently sensing his own Qi Sea, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Tianhai Realm.

In any prefecture of the human race, he would already be considered a powerful figure.

Liu Bo had obviously thought of this as well.

He put his hands on his hips and thrust his chest forward.

Brothers and sisters.

"We're pretty powerful figures here now, aren't we?"

"When we go out and make our way in the world again, everyone will call us Liu Tianhai, Luo Tianhai, or Qingtianhai—"

He suddenly stopped talking at this point.

Liu Bo rubbed his arms.

"hiss……"

Why am I so cold?

As he spoke, a puff of white vapor drifted out from around his mouth.

Liu Bo stared at the white mist for two seconds.

A martial artist at the Heavenly Sea Realm, speaking in a restaurant, would emit white vapor when they speak?

Is that correct?

He turned his head abruptly.

"Xiao Ran?"

Only Wei Xiaoran remained seated, his eyes closed.

The icy blue elemental energy that had just surrounded her had completely changed.

A wisp of ice law spread out from beneath her feet.

Click.

A white line appeared on the surface of the luxury stone floor.

Immediately afterwards, the white line spread rapidly, and large patches of frost crawled along the ground in all directions.

The dining table where the group had just eaten was the first to be affected.

The table legs were frozen, and the tabletop was white.

In just a few breaths, the entire table, along with the plates, chopsticks, and soup bowls on it, was encased in a thick layer of ice, transforming into a crystal-clear ice sculpture.

The cold air is still spreading.

The floorboards couldn't withstand the sudden drop in temperature, making a crackling sound as cracks extended outwards from beneath the ice.

"Xiao Ran!"

Liu Bo's smugness vanished instantly, and Luo Yurou and Rong Jing also gathered around.

"Xiao Ran, are you alright?"

no respond.

Wei Xiaoran seemed completely deaf to the sounds of the outside world.

Her aura had already surpassed the Nine Heavens Realm and steadily entered the Heavenly Sea Realm, but the Yuan Power that should have been gradually calming down was becoming more and more chaotic.

The icy blue laws surged around her again and again, as if something was constantly being squeezed out from the depths of her Qi Sea.

A thin layer of frost gradually covered her skin.

A streak of blood slowly slid down the corner of his mouth, freezing as soon as it flowed out near his chin.

Liu Bo's expression changed.

"Xiao Ran!"

He didn't care about anything else and rushed forward.

"Liu Bo, don't go over there!"

Rong Jing was a step too late.

Liu Bo had just stepped within three meters of Wei Xiaoran.

boom!

The churning laws of ice suddenly reversed.

He didn't even have time to block; he was blasted backward and his back slammed against the wall in the distance.

"puff!"

Liu Bo landed on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Luo Yurou quickly went over to support him, but Liu Bo braced himself on the ground and stared up at Wei Xiaoran.

"What exactly is going on?"

As Rong Jing looked at the increasingly dense ice-blue patterns on Wei Xiaoran's body, a past conversation suddenly came to mind.

"Ice Vein".

"What?"

"I've heard Xiao Ran mention it before."

Rong Jing stared at Wei Xiaoran, "She has always had an ice vein hidden in her dantian. When she was a child, she couldn't withstand that power, so it was Lord Wei Peng who personally sealed the ice vein."

"Now that she has broken through to the Heavenly Sea Realm, her Qi Sea has expanded, and her Ice Veins have probably grown along with it."

Luo Yurou immediately realized what was happening.

"So the seal left by Lord Wei Peng has been broken?"

Rong Jing nodded.

Liu Bo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and paced anxiously in circles.

"What should we do then?"

No one answered.

This thing was hidden inside Wei Xiaoran's Qi Sea, and they didn't even dare to touch it.

Qingshan suddenly stood up.

"I'm going to find the shop owner!"

After saying that, he rushed out of the executive dining room.

Liu Bo and the others stood there watching Wei Xiaoran; the longer it dragged on, the worse the situation became.

The frost had already spread for more than ten meters.

Wei Xiaoran's aura of the Heavenly Sea Realm fluctuated wildly, and more and more blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Not long after, Qingshan ran back.

Liu Bo immediately went to meet him.

Where are they?

Qingshan shook his head. "Didn't find it."

"I've been to the front desk and asked around the neighborhood, but I still don't know where the owner is."

Liu Bo's heart sank immediately.

Just when the group was at their wits' end, a deep voice came from the entrance of the executive restaurant.

"Get out of the way."

The group turned around at the same time.

Wei Peng strode into the restaurant.

His expression darkened as soon as his gaze fell on Wei Xiaoran.

"It still broke through."

He stepped across the ice layer, and the Yuan Power of the Dao Integration Realm fell from his palm, forcefully pressing into the churning ice laws surrounding Wei Xiaoran.

boom!

The entire restaurant trembled slightly.

The chill that was spreading outwards stopped on the spot.

Wei Peng brought his five fingers together, and streams of Yuan energy transformed into chain-like patterns, pressing down on Wei Xiaoran's Qi Sea once more.

The icy blue law continues to struggle.

It lasted for quite a while before it was finally pushed back down little by little.

Wei Xiaoran's breathing gradually stabilized.

Liu Bo hurriedly asked, "Lord Wei, how is Xiao Ran?"

"It's been temporarily suppressed."

Wei Peng did not let go.

"This seal won't last long."

He looked at his granddaughter and remained silent for a moment.

"The icy veins in her dantian have existed since birth."

"I have been suppressing her with seals all these years, but as her cultivation level has increased, her ice veins have also grown stronger."

"When her father was still alive, he was always looking for a way to completely solve this problem."

Everyone quieted down.
