Chapter 0407 – Gate of the Northern Underworld – Absolute Return

Jian Wuji’s eyes, filled with majesty, made it impossible for Cold Snow to refuse.

It’s not a command, it’s a plea.

“Okay.”

Coldsnow finally agreed.

She had never felt such a strong sense of crisis since she was a child.

Jian Wuji looked at Li An, the two of them looked at each other, and without the need for words, Li An understood what he meant.

After the two women left, only Sword Wuji and Drunken Devil remained in the room.

“What exactly are they trying to do? Why are they looking for an extremely cold body? Could it be that they want to cultivate some sort of evil technique? Or are they trying to utilize the Extreme Cold Body to deal with the Ice Palace?”

Drunken Devil asked.

“I’ll go run some errands, you secretly protect Li An and Cold Snow.” Jian Wuji said and stood up.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m also going to prepare myself for the cold winter that’s coming, too.”

After Jian Wuji finished speaking, he turned around and left the room.

“You make it clear! Where are you going? I’ve recently quit drinking and I’m in a foul mood!”

There were some things that Jian Wuji couldn’t tell the Drunken Demon because the place he was going to was related to his past life.

He exerted his light power and quickly left the Ice Palace, flying towards the snowy mountains in the distance.

The place he was going to was the coldest place in the North Sea, the Great Wind Valley.

“Hoo hoo hoo ……”

In the valley, the wind was howling and snowflakes were flying.

It is said that the fierce winds in the Gale Valley can tear through steel, making it difficult for even martial arts experts to traverse this land of death.

The people of the North Sea called this wind “the wind that kills”, because it is so violent that it kills without being seen. Even if you protect your body with your energy, it is hard to resist this bone-chilling wind.

When Jian Wuji heard the Drunken Demon say that those people were looking for ways to withstand the cold, he thought of the Great Wind Valley.

In his previous life, he had traveled thousands of mountains and rivers in order to find materials for refining magic treasures, and he had also come here.

“Gee, those days were unbearable.”

“Hoo hoo hoo ……”

Jian Wuji struggled against the gale.

The deeper you go, the stronger the wind gets.

The gale seemed to be tearing him apart, and he had to use his energy to protect his body before he could barely stand on his feet.

“It should be around here somewhere.”

Jian Wuji came to a mountain wall and carefully observed the surroundings.

In his previous life, he was also here, hiding from the gale.

Perhaps it was fate that he was here, and found a secret passage.

The entrance to the passage, obscured by vines, was hard to spot.

“This place, it’s really eerie, if you’re not careful, you’ll be trapped to death here.”

Jian Wuji said in his heart, but he still walked in without any hesitation.

The passage was so narrow that only one person could pass through.

Passing through the passage, it opens up in front of you.

This place was surprisingly a paradise, with bright sunshine and birdsong, a stark contrast to the freezing temperatures outside.

“It’s been a long time.”

Jian Wuji looked at a large tree in front of him, which was filled with white fruits that were as crystal clear as ice and snow.

This is the legendary elixir, the Ten Thousand Year Snow Fruit.

The efficacy of the Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit was even more powerful than the Ten Thousand Years Snow Ginseng, not only could it enhance one’s power, but also enhance one’s resistance to the cold.

On top of that, the Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit also had a special effect, which was that it could withstand the attacks of the Cold Ice Attribute.

For example, after being hit by the Cold Ice Palm, the meridians will not be injured by the cold. Moreover, practicing the “Cold Ice Palm” will become easier.

Jian Wuji had already reached the realm of invulnerability to cold and heat after taking the “Heavenly Opportunity Pill” gifted by the Poison King. The Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit, on the other hand, was an elixir specifically designed to withstand cold. If the two were stacked, then he would be able to withstand even more extreme cold.

In his previous life, he didn’t take the Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit.

This was because the cold contained in the Ten Thousand Year Snow Fruit was too powerful for ordinary people to withstand. If one took it rashly, it would probably lead to freezing of the meridians and even death. Perhaps only the Ice Palace Master, who had practiced the “Ice Cold Divine Skill”, could take this kind of elixir.

He also remembered that when he left, he said to the Ten Thousand Year Snow Fruit Tree, “I’ll see you next time I have the chance.”

Because he believed that he would, one day, be back here again.

Now, he’s finally back.

His power was not what it used to be, his meridians were also tougher, and most importantly, he had already cultivated the “Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Sacred Skill” to the grand achievement level. He believed that the “Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Divine Skill” could withstand the coldness of the Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit.

If he didn’t have enough confidence in the “Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Divine Skill”, then he definitely wouldn’t have taken the risk of taking the Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit.

But he felt that it was all meant to be.

In his previous life, he discovered the Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit; now, he has practiced the “Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Sacred Skill”, and those people are looking for the extremely cold body.

Fate was telling him that it was time to take the Ten Thousand Year Snow Fruit.

His intuition was also telling him that he had to take the Ten Thousand Year Snow Fruit.

“Heavenly Demon Body Protector Divine Skill, it’s up to you.”

Jian Wuji plucked a Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit, and it was cold in his hands, as if it was going to freeze his hands.

Without hesitation, he put the Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit into his mouth.

The Ten Thousand Year Snow Fruit melted in his mouth, and a piercing coldness instantly spread throughout his body.

The “Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Divine Skill” was immediately activated to resist the cold air.

“Hiss ……”

Jian Wuji sucked in a mouthful of cool air, he had never felt such a strong chill before. He originally thought that the Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit would be very hard and difficult to melt, but he didn’t expect it to melt in his mouth, and the coldness was so dominant. Even with the “Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Divine Skill” protecting his body, he still felt cold, as if he was going to be frozen. He even wanted to force the cold out of his body.

“Hold on, you must hold on.”

Jian Wuji operated the “Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Divine Skill” and recited the “Nine Wonders Demonic Skill” mantra, as images of demons appeared in his mind.

He recalled all the details of the “Jiu Hua Demon Power” and the “Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Divine Power”, trying to find a way to dissolve the cold air.

When he couldn’t stand it anymore, he remembered his father’s mocking face.

It worked, and he actually laughed at the prospect of being in so much pain.

He held on and held on ……

In the end, he succeeded.

He refined and absorbed all the coldness of the Ten Thousand Year Snow Fruit.

His power, once again, increased, and, the cold energy of the Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit remained permanently in his meridians.

Unless he encountered a cold aura that was even colder than the Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit, no cold aura, whatsoever, would be able to harm him.

“I have another weapon against my enemies.”

Jian Wuji was secretly happy in his heart, his strength, enhanced by another point.

“I will definitely take this power and use it in the right way.”

Jian Wuji bowed deeply to the Ten Thousand Year Snow Fruit Tree before turning around and leaving.

He made his way back through the narrow passages to the gale-force valley where the winds howled.

“Hoo hoo hoo ……”

The gale was still fierce, but Jian Wuji couldn’t feel a single chill.

If the previous Maniacal Killing Wind was a piercingly cold wind, then the current Maniacal Killing Wind was like a spring breeze to him.

In his previous life, he could only return the way he came because he couldn’t withstand the fierce winds from the depths of the Gale Valley.

But now, he wanted to go and see what was at the end of the Gale Valley.

He headed towards the source of the gale, towards the source of the gale.
