Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 844 - 282: Plotting the Immortal Mansion (5)

The ice above their heads was similarly thick, but it seemed unobstructed. The sunlight from outside refracted layer by layer, making the surroundings dazzlingly bright and peculiar.

With a flicker in her eyes, Shen Li discovered the giant ice spider they had been pursuing was glaring angrily at her and the Golden Toad from not far away.

Beside it, the hard ice surface shockingly featured a large icy pit, spanning over ten zhang across and several dozen zhang deep. From where Shen Li stood, she could vaguely see the half-exposed ancient cyan stone well cover at the bottom of the pit.

The giant ice spider seemed startled that Shen Li and the Golden Toad had managed to follow it here.

This was its biggest secret; now that it was exposed, the giant ice spider was exceptionally furious.

Its crimson eyes fixed on Shen Li as its massive body lunged forward, eight sturdy limbs quickly striding across the hard ice below, leaving rapid scratches in its wake.

The Golden Toad and the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect were ready to resist.

However, Shen Li clearly did not want to waste time.

A moon-white phantom suddenly shot out from her body.

The next moment, the moon-white phantom transformed into an identical replica, moving as fast as lightning, charging towards the oncoming giant ice spider.

The figure, ethereal like an immortal, approached the giant ice spider, raising a gentle hand to slap the spider’s forehead!

This strike did not cause much commotion.

The struck giant ice spider’s form stiffened, its crimson eyes flickered several times, and then they gradually dimmed.

The massive body, driven by inertia, slid rapidly along the ice, only stopping after colliding with the Golden Toad’s body.

Seeing the corpse delivered to its mouth, the Golden Toad immediately opened its mouth wide, with a bizarre vortex appearing inside, ready to swallow the giant ice spider’s body.

Yet, a palm gently patted its forehead, causing the vortex in its mouth to extinguish instantly.

"It has some parts that are excellent refining materials, swallowing them would be a waste," Shen Li said as she slowly approached the giant ice spider’s carcass.

Spiritual power flickered in her hand, quickly condensing into a sharp short knife.

Circling the giant ice spider’s body, she eventually chose to remove its eight legs and the silk sac in its abdomen.

"Alright, the rest is all yours," she said.

Granted permission, the Golden Toad once again opened its mouth, and the vortex within swallowed the massive body whole.

"Let’s go, we should take a look."

Glancing at the pit excavated by the giant ice spider, Shen Li proceeded forward slowly.

"It seems to be a well," the Golden Toad observed curiously, leaping into the pit and examining the cyan stone-like well cover.

Shen Li approached, waving her hand to unleash a beam of spiritual power that shattered the ice clinging to the well cover on the other side.

This well was probably dug long ago, and the ice on its surface had formed recently, nowhere near as hard as the ice frozen for countless years around it.

After clearing the surface ice, Shen Li waved her hand again to lift the cyan stone well cover.

A more terrifying chill gushed out from the well’s mouth instantly.

The already curious Golden Toad, inadvertently hit by this terrifying cold air, found its entire body covered with a thick layer of frost at a visibly rapid pace.

Stirring its demon essence, the Golden Toad quickly shook off the frost on its surface, shivering and muttering, "So cold..."

Shen Li waved a spiritual power shield over herself and the Golden Toad.

"Little Green, what’s inside should be the Profound Ice Marrow," she said.

"From here on, it’s up to you alone," she continued.

The path of evolution for the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect was something she couldn’t assist with extensively.

Having found the Profound Ice Marrow, whether it could withstand the extreme cold air and successfully utilize the Profound Ice Marrow to complete a critical step in its evolution, was up to the insect itself.

The Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect nodded slightly before transforming into a green light, flying out of the protective spiritual power shield, and slowly landing on the cyan stone well edge.

The terrifying chill dispersing from the mouth of the well immediately enwrapped the small figure of the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect in a layer of frost, which then spread, freezing it together with the well edge.

Seeing this, the Golden Toad couldn’t help but ask, "Master, won’t the little one freeze to death?"

Shen Li didn’t respond, just tapped her toes and flew out from the bottom of the large pit.

With her sudden departure, the spiritual power shield resisting the cold air vanished abruptly.

The Golden Toad shivered from the cold, and with a powerful leap, it jumped out of the pit.

During the ensuing long wait, Shen Li sat cross-legged on the ice, engaging in cultivation.

Meanwhile, the Golden Toad treated this place as a natural skating rink, enjoying itself immensely.

...

Danzhou.

Shen Chongxuan traversed various parts of Danzhou with the array bases given by Shen Xiubai, placing them into special positions one by one.

Ordinarily, with his cultivation at the Peak of Fetal Breathing, trying to traverse all of Danzhou and bury all seven array bases safely would have been a fool’s dream.

Back then, Danzhou was filled with cultivators, and disciples of many sects roamed everywhere, whether searching for cultivation resources or going out for training.

However, after the Tribulation Fire Sect’s bloody massacre, major powers and Immortal Sects across Danzhou were like frightened birds.

Unless necessary, those cultivators dared not roam around recklessly as they used to.

"The nodes of the earth veins..."

At Fallen Immortal Lake in Danzhou, the place where the Array Master Fu Yang once secluded himself.

Shen Chongxuan reached the location and, after burying one of the array bases at the bottom of Fallen Immortal Lake, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Releasing his divine sense, he carefully sensed the earth vein situation here.
