Chapter 126: Liu Yunxuan's Opportunity - The Taiyin Profound Frost Array
At this mont, the bit of Ice Dragon blood had been entirely consud.
The demon armor's arm guard imdiately reverted to its original state, turning back to its purple-black color.
Shen Mo nodded slightly, "The bit of Ice Dragon blood just now wasn't even a full drop, at most only a third of a drop."
"It activated the armor for roughly ten breaths of ti."
"If I were to use the demon armor to launch an attack, it would likely accelerate the blood consumption."
"By this calculation, a full drop of Ice Dragon blood could sustain the demon armor for over thirty breaths."
"If I were to unleash a powerful attack, it should still last for at least fifteen breaths."
"That's sufficient; this amount of ti is enough to determine the outco of a battle."
Shen Mo imdiately crouched down, carefully collecting the Ice Dragon blood.
Before long, he had gathered all the Ice Dragon blood from the small lake on the ground.
He filled a large jar with it.
As for the blood within the Ice Dragon's body, Shen Mo had attempted to extract it.
However, his attacks couldn't even penetrate the Ice Dragon's defensive corpse.
So, he had to give up.
After all, the opponent was a sixth-tier demon beast, equivalent to a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
Two major realms higher than himself.
Failing to break through its armor was only natural.
"It's ti to head back."
Shen Mo retraced his steps.
The ice pillar here had already been sealed up again.
He had to cut through the ice once more to open a passage.
As soon as he erged, several demon beasts with hostile gazes surrounded him.
Their eyes were filled with greed and desire.
Shen Mo smiled faintly, "You slled the Ice Dragon blood? I won't be handing it over to you."
Roar!
These demon beasts seed to understand Shen Mo's words, and they imdiately charged at him in a fury.
Shen Mo remained calm, directly activating the Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique.
Boom, boom, boom.
What followed were the wails of the demon beasts.
Shen Mo clapped his hands, using the Eight Directions Thunder Movent technique to ascend layer by layer back to the surface.
As soon as he returned to the first layer, he overheard disciples anxiously discussing the small earthquake that had just occurred.
"I was scared to death just now; I almost thought we were going to be buried in the passage."
"My goodness, you didn't see it, but that ice shard was only a tenth of an inch away from my brother!"
"I don't know what happened. First, the demon beasts were agitated, and now there's an earthquake. I can't help but feel a bit worried."
"Worried about what? If the sky falls, the two elders will hold it up. Besides, the Profound Frost Cave has a protective array, and the Young Sect Master is here too. We're perfectly safe!"
Shen Mo touched his nose.
Who caused that small earthquake?
What a lack of consideration!
"Senior Brother Shen!" Zhao Rou saw him and quickly ran over with concern, "Are you okay? There was suddenly an earthquake, and I couldn't find you anywhere. I was so worried!"
Shen Mo waved his hand, "I'm fine."
"By the way, take so warm jade to protect your body, and go—"
Zhao Rou's eyes widened, "All dead?! Even those on the fifth layer...?"
Shen Mo nodded, "There weren't any strong ones; I killed them all with a single strike."
"The at of those demon beasts is quite good. Eating it can enhance your resistance to cold. Rember to eat more."
Zhao Rou responded happily, "Yes!"
Then, she excitedly called out, "You, you, and you, co with . The Young Sect Master has already—"
The disciples were shocked, casting admiring glances at Shen Mo.
Those fierce demon beasts were all wiped out by Shen Mo in one go.
His strength was truly terrifying.
Shen Mo strode out of the Profound Frost Cave, frowning in thought.
He had already obtained a jar of Ice Dragon blood, which would last him for a while.
His strength had greatly increased as a result.
He could simply inform Nangong Yun, and they could all withdraw from the Profound Frost Cave.
That would avoid any tragic deaths among these people.
But the Ice Dragon could still produce more blood continuously.
Moreover, the Ice Dragon's bones, scales, and other parts were top-notch treasures.
Abandoning it like this and letting it fall into the hands of the Blood River Sect would be a great pity.
Furthermore, behind the Blood River Sect was the Heavenly Water Sect.
The treasures obtained from the Ice Dragon's corpse would ultimately benefit the Heavenly Water Sect.
This wouldn't do.
The stronger the Heavenly Water Sect becos, the more dangerous it would be for the Qingxuan Sect.
"I need to co up with a plan, ideally one that can wipe out the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Blood River Sect who are coming to launch a surprise attack in two days."
"However, the cultivation techniques and martial skills of the Blood River Sect cultivators are very formidable. If we only set up an ambush, we would need at least ten cultivators to deal with them."
"Such a large-scale operation would definitely alert the enemy."
"What should I do?"
Shen Mo clasped his hands behind his back, pacing slowly as he pondered the situation.
The cultivation thods and martial techniques of the Blood River Sect emphasized rapid advancent and imnse power.
In the sa realm, it was common for a Blood River Sect cultivator to defeat two ordinary cultivators.
The downside, however, was that it shortened their lifespan.
A typical Nascent Soul stage cultivator could live up to five hundred years.
But a Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Blood River Sect would be fortunate to live beyond three hundred years.
"Greetings... Young Sect Master."
Soon, a familiar voice rang out in front of him.
The tone was reluctant and unwilling.
This voice pulled Shen Mo back from his thoughts.
He steadied himself and looked at the person in front of him.
With a face like jade, an elegant deanor, and a tall stature—it was none other than Liu Yunxuan.
"You're here guarding as well?" Shen Mo smiled.
Liu Yunxuan nodded reluctantly, "My father, under the Sect Master's orders, will be arriving tomorrow to assist Elder Song and Hall Master Wei in guarding the Profound Frost Cave. He asked to co ahead."
Shen Mo pondered this.
He looked at Liu Yunxuan's life panel.
[Na: Liu Yunxuan]
[Cultivation: Foundation Establishnt Stage (Peak)]
[Fate: Overflowing Luck, Jade-like Handsoness, Danger into Safety, Smooth Sailing, Lesser Yin Profound Ice Body]
[Destiny: Stops at Minor Success in the Nascent Soul Stage, later becos an Inner Sect Elder of the Divine Sword Sect. Thirty years later, overestimates himself and challenges a fourth-tier peak demon beast, only to be devoured by it.]
[Recent Opportunity 1: Tonight, while searching for Profound Frost Amber in the Profound Frost Cave, gets lost and enters a crack ford by a minor earthquake on the third layer, where he finds a top-grade Earth-tier array—the Taiyin Profound Frost Array.]
[Recent Opportunity 2: Two days later, during the Blood River Sect's surprise attack on the Profound Frost Cave, he becos fearful and flees the battle, hiding in a basent. Ultimately, he is intentionally let go by the Blood River Sect Master.]
Shen Mo frowned slightly.
There was a lot of information to process.
He noticed that Liu Yunxuan's fate had changed.
"Peak Fortune" had dropped a level, becoming "Overflowing Luck."
It was likely due to several opportunities being intercepted by Shen Mo, leading to this outco.
Next was the Taiyin Profound Frost Array.
This array was clearly a killing array.
Moreover, the Profound Frost Cave was already a place rich in ice spiritual energy.
The Taiyin Profound Frost Array could further enhance its power here, increasing its effectiveness by at least fifty percent.
With this array, dealing with the Blood River Sect mbers would no longer be a problem.
Finally, there was the matter of Liu Yunxuan being intentionally spared by the Blood River Sect Master.
Many elders, deacons, and disciples within the Profound Frost Cave had been killed.
Why would Liu Yunxuan be deliberately spared?
The answer was obvious.
Liu Yuanfeng had dealings with the Blood River Sect.
That's why the Blood River Sect Master would spare Liu Yunxuan.
This way, Liu Yunxuan would beco a hero who survived the bloody battle in the Profound Frost Cave.
"Liu Yuanfeng has certainly thought this through, even risking his son by sending him to the Profound Frost Cave, and he's coming here himself as well."
Shen Mo chuckled softly.
He imdiately turned around and re-entered the Profound Frost Cave.
This action left Liu Yunxuan utterly baffled.
Why did he leave without saying a word?
Could it be that he has so issue with ?
Liu Yunxuan was full of questions but didn't dare to ask or say anything, so he could only let it go.
