The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 342 - 203: So Cold_2

She placed the Moonlight Cup on the rooftop, instructing Tu Jin to watch over it, while she herself entered the God Demon Prison.

Even with his eyes closed, Changtian’s face slightly lifted in a proud manner. With the aid of the turtle pearl and the Moonlight Cup, and nourished by the Emperor’s Fluid, his complexion improved significantly. Originally, his lips and complexion were too pale, albeit strikingly handsome, giving a sense of frailty after a prolonged gaze.

However, at this moment, Changtian’s skin was like jade, his lips gradually reddening, and his black hair neatly tied at the back of his head, he looked akin to an exiled immortal. As Divine Power filled him, the divine light in his eyes faded instead, and Ning Xiaoxian felt as if she were gazing upon the calm yet supremely majestic endless green waves of the sea.

This man, truly one could never tire of looking at him. Lately, she found herself secretly staring at him, lost in thought, for longer and longer periods.

"Do I have flowers growing on my face?" As he spoke these words, he slowly opened his eyes, a faint golden light shining through. Ning Xiaoxian’s face flushed red; unable to meet his gold pupils, she quickly averted her gaze. His eyes had become increasingly inscrutable of late.

"Come here, let me hold you." His arms slightly outstretched, his voice still calm and composed. In this world, probably only he could speak of such amorous affairs between men and women as if it were the most natural and righteous thing.

She did not possess his mental state. Ning Xiaoxian bit her lower lip, removed the shoes from her feet, revealing a pair of smooth and well-proportioned bare feet.

She took a deep breath, lifted her leg, stepped forward, and gently entered the Demon Transformation Spring! A violent and bitterly cold Divine Power separated from the spring, instantly permeating through her skin and infiltrating the veins throughout her body.

This temperature was absolutely below absolute zero! Clenching her teeth, she circulated the Ba Snake’s innate mnemonic, demonic power continuously flowing within her, cajoling and trapping the newly invaded Unowned Divine Power, slowly directing it towards her Dantian.

One step, two steps, three steps. She steadily took three large steps and stood in front of Changtian. Then she closed her eyes, silently enduring the assault of Divine Power from the Demon Spring.

Compared to this heart-piercing, terrifying cold, the strong winds of the Kunlong Snow Mountain felt like merely a gentle breeze in the balmy days of March.

Her realm was still too low, every time she stood a bit longer in the Demon Spring, she felt as if falling into a bottomless ice pit, her blood and muscles slowly freezing; an unbearable sensation. Just like now, her lips had turned purple with cold, her teeth chattered nonstop, and a thin layer of frost even covered her cheeks.

"Just hold on for two more breaths." Changtian encouraged her in a low voice.

She could now endure fifteen minutes in the Demon Spring. In this extreme cold, Ning Xiaoxian exerted all her strength to circulate the spell, striving to refine the Divine Power bursting from the spring. This Divine Power was like a giant snake racing through her meridians, which she needed to tame into docile earthworms. The difficulty and pain involved were a hundred times worse than the exercises before Body Refining! Every second endured in this extreme cold felt like a lifetime had passed!

After an unknown length of time, she faintly heard Changtian gently calling her, "Time’s up." But she made no movement, still clenching her teeth and holding on.

Changtian frowned, and sternly said, "Ning Xiaoxian. This is your limit, don’t push yourself too hard." But the girl did not heed. Frost had begun to form in her hair.

"Nonsense." Suddenly, he reached out, scooped her into his arms, and lifted her from the spring, completely removing her from the water.

Upon the strong advice of Ning Xiaoxian, he had long before ordered the God Demon Prison to create a chaise lounge made of Black Stone for him, as long as his feet remained in the Demon Spring, the spring would not cause trouble. Only then did she realize that this guy was inherently lazy and masochistic, buying a chaise of yellow pear wood was simply a waste of Silver Coin. Now, holding her in his arms, seated on the lounge, letting her lean on him, he watched her with closed eyes, still trying to assimilate the newly acquired Divine Power.

After a good while, she finally exhaled softly. She had completed the process.

Under her introspection, the color of her inner core had changed from the transparent light purple after the Emperor’s Fluid to a dense, dark purple that couldn’t be diluted. Today, with the Divine Power harvested flowing into the inner core, the sheen on the surface of this small sphere brightened even more.

That’s great, she should soon be able to break through from the Transformation Stage to the Great Success Stage.

Only after relaxing did she feel the chill pervading her body, unable to help but shiver. Changtian held her even tighter in his embrace, his warm body temperature transferring to her, making her comfortably sigh: "This feels so good."

With the frost gone from her face, revealing her sweet and lovely countenance, Changtian looked at her rolling apricot eyes and couldn’t help but kiss her forehead, asking, "Why have you been so desperate lately?" The Ning Xiaoxian he knew was a lazy girl; if she could exert less effort, she wouldn’t go the extra mile. But lately, she had suddenly become diligent, demanding herself to endure a bit longer in the Demon Spring each day.

Her inner core was originally condensed from his Divine Power, sharing the same origin and nature with the Divine Power in the Demon Spring, hence she could absorb it like this without much trouble. But even though he himself could stay in this spring all day, he knew full well how much pain the Demon Spring inflicted on her. It wasn’t that she couldn’t bear it; rather, he couldn’t bear to see her suffer so.

She squinted her eyes enjoying his tenderness: "I just want to become stronger quickly." If she grew a bit more powerful, this time she wouldn’t need to delay, and could directly cross the Kunlong Snow Mountain. (To be continued.
