Chapter 1669: Chapter 1286: The Heavenly Gate Incident! Breaking the Ice to Retrieve the Secret Manual!
The Ancient Color Strange People frowned and said, "Now that we are talking about these issues, they cannot be solved. We must quickly contact the village chief and ask him to formulate a countermeasure.
I suggest we collectively propose to the village chief to increase the cultivation of excellent players within Black Wind Village, and to allocate top resources for organizing large-scale events similar to the first Martial Arts Tournament of the Black Wind in the past.
The saying goes, literature does not rank first, and martial arts does not rank second. Aren’t martial world people all pursuing fame and fortune?
Let’s propose that the village chief offer benefits, with our Black Wind Village leading to create a reputation, targeting all martial world players by holding a World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament, to determine the number one expert and top ten experts among all martial world players, rather than only within our mountain village and the Eight Desolate Disciples. This will attract all players to our Black Wind Village’s various sub branches to participate in duels, further solidifying our Black Wind Village as the supreme force of the vassal state."
Ning Su’s bright eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded with a smile, "This is a very good proposal. If the village chief truly approves, it will indeed enhance the reputation of our Black Wind Village in the martial world. Nowadays, among many top players in the martial world, those who truly step into the Heavenly Human Realm, we already have three in Black Wind Village, and under the Heavenly Human Realm, experts also gather.
This time, as we make friends throughout the world through martial arts, as long as our many Black Wind Village players achieve excellent rankings, it will once again prove the strength of our Black Wind Village to the martial world people."
With this statement, everyone felt they had hit the right point and opened the floodgates of discussion, each experiencing the strong sense of participation in contributing ideas to the mountain village.
...
Regarding the happenings on the outside, including on the Jianghu Forum, Jiang Dali, who is inside the Sword Tomb of the Sword Sect, is still unaware.
At this moment, in the Sword Tomb, as cold air wafts, like an ice cave, he has also deliberated with Nameless to figure out the ultimate method to retrieve the "Rejuvenation Ice Technique."
Back then, the Sword Sect Master Jian Hui, with the power of the Returning to Truth Realm level 2, executed the "Rejuvenation Ice Technique," completely freezing the entire Sword Tomb in an instant, sealing within it the Unrivaled City Lord Dugu Yifang, who was also in the Returning to Truth Realm, and eleven other slightly lesser experts, all using their accumulated power.
Theoretically, with the current strength of Jiang Dali and Nameless, breaking through the ice to retrieve the secret manual of "Rejuvenation Ice Technique" from Jian Hui’s embrace is actually not difficult, because the ice created by the technique is just the aggregate of Jian Hui’s full power.
Any expert at the Returning to Truth Realm level 3 could break the ice defense.
However, once the ice is broken, it would damage the bodies of the experts within.
Even though many years have passed, even Nameless is certain that his teacher Jian Hui is likely beyond rescue from the frozen state. If the ice is broken, the bodies of those frozen inside, upon contact with external air, would instantly turn into pus or tear apart with the body and soul destroyed.
Yet, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Nameless, including Po Jun, are unwilling to risk Jian Hui’s body. As long as the bodies remain inside the ice, there is hope for future revival. If the body ceases to exist, all hope is lost.
Therefore, Nameless, after confirming with Po Jun that the secret manual "Rejuvenation Ice Technique" is indeed carried closely by Jian Hui, still hesitates to take action. It was only after deliberating with Jiang Dali for a night, exchanging deep martial arts insights, that they gradually devised a feasible solution.
This solution requires Jiang Dali and Nameless to work together.
Nameless employs the "All Swords Return to the Sect" technique at a speed close to the speed of light of the City Toppling Love’s one saber, to "point to stop," to split the ice. Then Jiang Dali uses the Power of One Tail, taking advantage of the extreme speed of Divine Tail, to reach into Jian Hui’s embrace, relying on the Primordial Spirit attached to Divine Tail to memorize "Rejuvenation Ice Technique" in an instant.
Afterwards, both withdraw their power, and the minute damage caused to the ice layer by the flash can be instantly repaired by Jian Hui’s power, preventing large-scale ice layer collapse.
This solution certainly involves significant risks, such as Jian Hui’s power potentially having depleted over the centuries, failing to repair the ice layer in time, placing all frozen within at risk of total body and soul destruction, an uncertainty no one can guarantee.
But considering the maturity of the solution and Jiang Dali’s possession of the Infinite Heart Transformation Pill, Po Jun, and Nameless are willing to give it a try.
When the time comes, if any danger arises, the Infinite Heart Transformation Pill can serve as a remedy.
Yet, if the pill proves ineffective, even if another batch of top experts attempts in the future, it’s not guaranteed they could rescue Jian Hui and others frozen inside, especially as time passes, the chance for survival within the ice diminishes...
"Are you ready?"
Before an ice wall solid as a mirror, Nameless stood solemnly, hands behind his back, eyes directly staring at Jian Hui, who was frozen with arms raised, maintaining the posture of executing "Rejuvenation Ice Technique," asking Jiang Dali.
"About ready!"
Jiang Dali bared his teeth in a smile.
To prevent his clothes from exploding, he had already removed his upper garment, exposing a muscular, strong upper body filled with powerful Qi Force, veins protruding, skin gleaming with a captivating sheen, without an ounce of excess fat. As he spoke, he slightly crouched his front leg, his skeletal structure crackling with intimidating pressure, a golden strong tail languidly swayed behind him like a python, ready to unleash a lightning strike at any moment.
Nameless frowned slightly, "There’s only one chance!"
Jiang Dali confidently replied, "Rest assured!"
He understood Nameless’s concern whether his Primordial Spirit attached to the tail could swiftly memorize the "Rejuvenation Ice Technique" secret manual in such a brief moment. After all, merely a fleeting touch could memorize ten thousand words of content; even the minds of strong Returning to Truth Realm experts might struggle to achieve this.
But he’s different; he only needs a large number of Cultivation and Potential Points to naturally coincide with the Power of Primordial Spirit to temporarily possess the "Rejuvenation Ice Technique" and comprehend martial arts in an instant. In this aspect, even innate genius Nameless, who could make all swords submit from the mother’s womb, cannot compare with him.
"Alright!"
Nameless nodded slightly, suddenly his eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance, slowly raising his sword finger forward, sending out a burst of dazzling, elusive sword qi, like scattered sunbeams.
But at the moment of reaching the ice layer, all diffused sword qi suddenly retracted, transforming into a streak of extreme light sword qi, penetrating the solid ice layer at a speed barely perceptible to the naked eye.
The sound of the ice breaking had yet to erupt.
A shadow like golden lightning swiftly surged, piercing directly into the crevice created by the sword qi, hardly a point gained before withdrawing.
In that split second, Jiang Dali’s Divine Tail had already retracted, and the panel promptly echoed with the notification of successful martial arts learning.
Only now did the ice-breaking sound finally "linger" and resonate.
The two immediately locked their gazes on the ice layer where an exceptionally fine crevice had opened, resembling a stray hair dropped on a polished mirror.
As the cold air swiftly gathered over, it nearly instantaneously restored the ice layer’s crevice to its original state, leaving the thirteen lifelike experts frozen within unharmed, as if nothing had transpired. If not for the imperceptible tear on the clothes in Jian Hui’s embrace within the ice, it would seem that nothing had occurred.
Jiang Dali’s tiger eyes looked at Nameless, nodded with a smile, "It was successful."
Nameless’s slightly frowned brows relaxed, and a rare hint of smile appeared in his eyes, "We can depart to Heavenly Gate now."
Jiang Dali discreetly glanced at his panel, full of accumulated Cultivation and Potential Points, nodding solemnly, "It’s time for a real confrontation with Shakyamuni."
