On the vast, flat, endless tundra, Frost Roar Valley is like a large rift in the earth, torn apart by the Ancient Dragon God.
The gorge stretches 3,700 miles with the narrowest part just enough for three people to walk side by side, whilst the widest part is over eighty miles wide, with ice walls soaring tens of thousands of feet tall.
The ice in the gorge is composed entirely of Everlasting Profound Ice, exceedingly perilous.
It is nearing noon, and sunlight pierces through the frost mist enveloping the valley, refracting countless prismatic spots on the ice walls. Sun Ning and his companion, riding the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon, looked down to see the entire rift glistening with chilling cold gleam, resembling a dragon's spine, majestic and splendid.
The Everlasting Profound Ice absorbs nearby sounds, thus turning Snow Roar Valley into a cemetery of sound.
Yet the Profound Ice has a limit to its absorption and holding capacity. Whenever it pushes past the limit, the ice bursts open, unleashing sharp sound waves and sonic surges.
Chain explosions of the ice can instantaneously create extremely terrifying sound tides.
The sound tides once triggered will incite snowstorms, and every occurrence is a cataclysmic burial in snow. This is the most distinctive weather in Frost Roar Valley.
But life's miracles always exist.
The Ice Soul Wolf Pack and furry mammoths are the two major clans thriving within Frost Roar Valley.
"One day, I will come here to adventure," Sun Lingtong said, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, "It should be very thrilling."
Ning Zhuo nodded, "Though I'm curious about the mystery deep within the gorge, let me succeed in my cultivation first."
The pair did not linger, soon burrowing into the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon, embarking anew.
They did not rush to traverse into the void, rather circled around Frost Roar Valley, verifying their location by comparing against the mapped data they gathered.
In doing so, they not only calibrated their direction but also acquired an updated precise map.
Ning Zhuo arrived at the cultivation cabin and commenced training in the Five Internal Organs Temple Spirit God Skill.
Cremation Prajna Spirit Liberation Sutra!
Flames surged, burning quietly. Fire tongues coiled, twining, and dancing under Ning Zhuo's control.
The white-clothed youth sat cross-legged before the fire, a layer of Buddha aura enveloping his visage.
Sun Lingtong came to his side, rarely forsaking the Dragon Head Cabin.
Ning Zhuo dissected his own flesh, extracting his kidney.
Demon-infused Bloodline Technique!
The blood vessels solidified in mid-air, forming a mass of indistinct flesh, seeming as if countless threads of blood red tangled and entwined.
Thus, temporarily substituting the role of the kidney.
The kidney rapidly dissolved in the flames, Ning Zhuo, experienced as he was, seized the opportunity, decisively investing the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Water Essence.
The Water Essence intermingled with the kidney, ultimately forming a radiant sphere.
A temple faintly appeared within the sphere. Inside the delicate miniature temple stood a deity statue, identical in form to Ning Zhuo.
Divine Sense Manipulation!
Ning Zhuo employed his divine sense, effortlessly collecting the radiant sphere back into his body, restoring it to the original position of the kidney.
The blood vessels forged by the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique also seamlessly dissolved, task accomplished.
After having refined the Water Element Kidney Temple, Ning Zhuo did not rest, continuing on to craft the Wood Element Liver Temple.
Thus, completing the Five Internal Organs Temple Spirit God Skill!
"The Five Elements are complete."
"From now on, as long as I invest my divine sense to transform into the deity statue, I can enhance the power of any spell among the five elements, achieving precise mastery, compensating for my lack of practice."
Ning Zhuo felt a sense of joy within.
Sun Lingtong also felt happy for her brother's achievements.
Seeing Ning Zhuo close his eyes to rest, she quietly turned around and went to stand guard in the Dragon Head Cabin.
Ning Zhuo successively infused his divine sense into the temples of the five organs, experiencing each one in turn, feeling quite accomplished.
This spell was his own creation, but its roots stem from the Five Organs Temple Spirit Divine Skill. The latter is the main cultivation method of the Five Elements God Master, harnessing the essence of heaven and earth, reconciling the intricacies of the five elements, deeply embodying Dao and logic.
Ning Zhuo, leveraging his profound five elements realm, managed to make improvements.
To refine this spell requires the true essence of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, at least ten thousand years, coming at a steep price. But the effects are exceptional, during his time in Liangzhu Country, Ning Zhuo demonstrated remarkable feats on the battlefield by relying on three of the elements from it.
"The key still lies in the Cremation Prajna Spirit Liberation Sutra."
"Without this Buddhist Law, even if others learn my Five Internal Organs Temple Spirit God Skill and gather ten-thousand-year five elements essence, they are unable to refine it."
"Hmm... Demon-infused Bloodline Technique also plays a significant role."
"It allows blood vessels to solidify, temporarily substituting organs, shares many similarities with the techniques of Demon Heart Cave Master."
The primary cultivation method of the Demon Heart Cave Master of the Six Cave Sect enables cultivators to forge multiple demon hearts.
These demon hearts hold miraculous life-saving effects, the Demon Heart Cave Master relying on this mystical utility, even surviving the deadly Red Heart Arrow divine skill.
"The son of Demon Heart Cave Master, Lin You, is in my hands."
"He and his father practice the same demon skill."
"Once the opportunity arises, by interrogating the secrets of this demon skill and comparing it with my Demon-infused Bloodline Technique, it should aid my upcoming cultivation of the Essence Sea."
Upon this reflection, Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes and from his bosom extracted a flower bud.
The red flower bud had grown much dimmer and transparent than before.
Holding the palm-sized flower bud, Ning Zhuo could observe with the naked eye, Lin You tightly enveloped, sealed within, alongside a mechanical carriage compartment.
"Without continuous supply of soldiers, the seal of the flower bud will gradually weaken until it vanishes."
"But it's alright."
"Lin You is in an even worse condition. He's been encased in layers of seals, hasn't eaten for a long time, so he will faint from hunger first."
Ning Zhuo patiently waited for this moment to arrive.
This flower bud originated from the Red Flower Skill image, it was something Mu Lan had captured Lin You with on the battlefield, subsequently handing it over to Ning Zhuo.
