Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 428 - 406: Minor Cold Arrives

"Azure Sea Cold Qi?"

"Great Cold and Minor Cold?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Wang Wu felt a stir in his heart and immediately used the Hidden Element Jade Talisman to query about the Azure Sea Cold Qi.

The response made him furrow his brow.

"Due to your insufficient authority, related queries cannot be conducted. As for the classification of Azure Sea Cold Qi, it is divided based on its impact on cultivators. The specifics are as follows."

"Azure Sea Cold Qi Level 1 Alert will cause devastating damage to mortals, ordinary creatures, and common plants. Without the protection of a corresponding array, even in the most sturdy, sealed house, a burning stove fire will extinguish, and everything will return to dead silence."

"Azure Sea Cold Qi Level 2 Alert will cause devastating damage to cultivators below Sixth Grade and demon spirit monsters, piercing through meridians, spirit pills, and demon pills. Without the protection of a corresponding array, they will usually die within a few hours."

"Azure Sea Cold Qi Level 3 Alert will cause devastating damage to cultivators below Third Grade and demon spirit monsters, piercing through body-protecting dao techniques and destroying spirit pills and demon pills. Without the protection of a corresponding array, they will usually die within an incense stick’s time."

"Azure Sea Cold Qi Level 4 Alert will cause devastating damage to cultivators below First Grade and demon spirit monsters, leaving no chance at all."

"Azure Sea Cold Qi Level 5 Alert will cause lethal damage to cultivators below Tier Three Earth Immortal and demon spirit monsters. Without corresponding array protection, they will typically die within a few days."

"Azure Sea Cold Qi Level 6 Alert will cause lethal piercing damage to cultivators below Tier Six Earth Immortal and demon spirit monsters, with no chance at all."

"Azure Sea Cold Qi Level 7 Alert will cause lethal piercing damage to cultivators below Tier Nine Earth Immortal and demon spirit monsters, with no chance at all."

"Azure Sea Cold Qi Level 8 Alert will cause severe damage to immortals below Taiyi True Immortal Third Tier. If exposed to cold qi for a long time, it will be life-threatening."

"Azure Sea Cold Qi Level 9 Alert will have a terrible impact on immortals below Taiyi True Immortal Sixth Tier. Long-term exposure to cold qi will be life-threatening."

"Azure Sea Cold Qi Level 10 and above, currently meaningless, no explanation given."

----

Goodness!

Wang Wu gasped, no wonder even the Hidden Origin Association was on high alert; this Azure Sea Cold Qi is somewhat terrifying.

And this is just two of the twenty-four solar terms; what about the other terms?

However, if even the Hidden Origin Association Headquarters is like this, why is there no activity from the chief steward of Dragon Head City’s branch? Could it be that preparations are already complete?

As the second chief steward, he has truly been sidelined.

After using the Hidden Element Jade Talisman to search for Hidden Origin Association tasks in Dragon Head City, there were quite a few, ranging from Third Grade to Ninth Grade, with tasks of all kinds, but mostly related to the arrival of the Minor Cold solar term.

It seems that the new chief steward is indeed well-prepared, leaving nothing for him to worry about.

Wang Wu was happy for some peace, hmm?

Just as he was thinking this, several lines of information appeared, this time issued by that new chief steward.

"Motion! The Minor Cold solar term will officially arrive in three days, and the first wave of Azure Sea Cold Qi is about to reach. To respond to the call of the Hidden Element Association Headquarters, the dividends of all Hidden Element Association stewards in this branch will be halved, and will return to normal after the Great Cold and Minor Cold solar terms conclude."

"Motion! Lower the activation threshold of the Hidden Origin Bell, reducing the maximum response distance from the standard ten thousand miles radius to three thousand miles radius. The maximum protective effect of the Hidden Origin Bell is reduced by half and will return to normal after the Great Cold and Minor Cold solar terms conclude."

"Motion! Form two outer city patrol teams to prevent the Cold-calling Insect, Cold-Crying Bird, and Cold Roar Beast from damaging the city walls. One team led by the chief steward and the other by the second chief steward, each patrol lasting fifteen days, with the two teams alternating patrols."

----

So much for peace; here it comes!

Wang Wu didn’t hesitate and chose to agree immediately, and in the blink of an eye, all three motions passed unanimously.

In the next moment, the chief steward privately sent him a message.

"The young can be taught!"

Quite interesting indeed.

Wang Wu smiled silently, not caring about such immature actions, although everything that gentleman does is merely for the faction war between the Frost Monarch and Elder Gray.

However, after witnessing the terror of Level 27 Divine Calculation, Wang Wu believed that everything should be thought three times over; stillness is preferable to action.

Every move will be deduced, but as long as no conflict arises with anyone, the likelihood of being deduced will greatly reduce.

If he hadn’t killed the fifth disciple of Elder Gray three hundred years later, would he have been deduced by Elder Gray three hundred years earlier?

Therefore, let them mock if they want to mock, let them give troubles if they want to give troubles; he remains still, and under the premise of not committing major mistakes, with the strong backing of Old Man Gray, it is hardly possible for them to annihilate him completely.

At this moment, Wang Wu is just a single word—both cunning and afraid.

Slowly accumulating power, until a time when he can leap out of the scope of Level 27 Divine Calculation, he will then consider other matters.

Unless Old Man Gray lets him charge at Frost Monarch’s faction, then he won’t have a choice but to charge.

Next, Wang Wu first went to Qiankun Tower to visit General Xuelang. As Qiankun Tower currently only houses it, it has been diligently cultivating for the past eight years, currently impacting First Grade, having spent just under one million of the ten million points of spiritual qi given earlier...

Weak yet somewhat adorable.

Unlike Xiong Shiliu, Yuan Bupu, Old Niu, and others, who underwent a series of potential enhancement surgeries performed by Wang Wu.

In fact, even Wolf Bu’er has advanced to First Grade, but General Xuelang wants to advance to First Grade alone, which is somewhat challenging.

Fortunately, the problem isn’t significant; Wang Wu casually rubbed from his body, producing a Sixth Grade Five Elements Spirit Pill...

After General Xuelang awoke from meditation, he specifically repaired a small courtyard, built two grass huts, prepared a table of wine and dishes, enjoying a brief drink with it, and offered some guidance.

He no longer expected General Xuelang to become his secret weapon one day, yet he enjoyed this fleeting pleasure, as if reminiscing the past.

Before leaving, Wang Wu left a strand of top-grade fur and a wisp of divine thought.

The cultivation path is too arduous, life fleeting as smoke; he should give it a perfect ending.

After leaving the Qiankun Tower, Wang Wu went to She Shoujiu’s abode; it too had been in retreat for nearly eight years, with no room for maneuver under the deliberate difficulties posed by the new chief steward, only able to eat dividends daily, retreat, comprehend the Dao, and refine divine techniques.

But it, beyond those distant kin ties, was instead the companion Wang Wu looked forward to the most.

"After eight years of retreat, have you gained anything?"

"You guess?" She Shoujiu sat cross-legged, with a faint smile, composed gaze, in good spirits.

Wang Wu was not coy, directly activating Level 18 Spiritual Talent, and scanned She Shoujiu from head to toe, taking thirty seconds.

Then, he suddenly struck, pointing into the void; She Shoujiu let out a muffled grunt, his expression changed, his whole body’s bones seemed to disassemble, even all divine techniques, talents within his demon pill, spirit pill, qi blood, and spiritual qi all directly failed for one second.

Wang Wu did not continue, just quietly waiting for She Shoujiu to restore.

"So this is Level 18 See Through, truly impressive; despite your strength being several tiers lower than mine, in just that instant, you could effortlessly kill me a hundred times over."

She Shoujiu praised, then asked, "Do you think there’s anything in my cultivation state that needs remedy?"

"Actually, I can’t quite say for sure either." Wang Wu chuckled while the Four Clowns had already quickly sorted through She Shoujiu’s attributes; he glanced roughly.

She Shoujiu’s lifespan stability had broken through ten thousand years, evidently due to its prior advancement.

His Life Value and Physical Strength were currently stuck at 69,999 points.

Basic Agility, Basic Power, Basic Defense were stuck at 999 points.

In total, there were five demon pills, all First Grade Ruyi Demon Pills, but no deployment of Five Elements Spirit Array.

There were also two spirit pills, but rarely seen as First Grade Ruyi Wind-Fire Spirit Pill, unlike the Ice and Fire Spirit Pill, rather they have mutual supporting effects.

Similarly, no deployment of Five Elements Spirit Array in the Acquired System.

Bloodline Evolution Level currently at 58.9%, already very strong.

Level 14 Overlord Body, Level 14 Demon Wind, Level 14 Ruyi Body Technique, Level 12 Unbreakable Golden Body, Level 24 Danger Perception, Level 12 Spirit Essence, Level 22 Passive Concealment, Level 18 Self-Healing, Level 25 Snake’s Kiss, Level 23 Charm.

Besides, it should also have mastered several Daoist Divine Techniques.

Possessing one Celestial Fifth Grade Lifebound Flying Sword.

And two Celestial Fifth Grade Lifebound Demon Soldiers, which were those two venomous fangs.

Its Yin Fire Resistance is 800, Evil Wind Resistance is 1200, Yang Thunder Resistance is 300.

This roughly comprises its core data.

And this also approximates Tier Seven Earth Immortal data.

"Do you know the Five Elements Heaven Repairing Technique?" Wang Wu asked at this moment.

"Yes, but unfortunately, we are not destined to see it; reportedly it is the true secret outside within the Cultivation Realm, and we escapees from Great Wilderness Sin Prison only have access to the fragmented Five Elements Pill Formula and Five Elements Spirit Array formations, you recall, inside the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower we could never concoct Fifth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pill."

She Shoujiu quickly replied.

"Then can you deploy the Five Elements Spirit Array?" Wang Wu asked again, genuinely surprised; he thought anyone who knows the Five Elements Spirit Array and Five Elements Pill Formula should be able to think of deploying the Five Elements Spirit Array internally.

"Of course, but as I said, it’s fragmented."

"Have you tried deploying the Five Elements Spirit Array internally? I mean, deploy the Five Elements Spirit Array with the five demon pills as the core..."

"What are you saying!"

She Shoujiu was stunned, then realized, "You—you must not tell me this is what you did."

"Exactly! I think it’s quite good."

"You truly are fearless in ignorance, yet it might be feasible, are you suggesting I deploy it?"

"Indeed, I don’t know the true Five Elements Heaven Repairing Technique, but using five demon pills as the basis to deploy a Five Elements Spirit Array could bring unimaginable advantages and maybe make your ancient blood purer." Wang Wu sincerely suggested.

"But the timing is off, that chief steward wants us to form a patrol squad..."

"Ignore him, if you agree, I can immediately deploy it for you!"

"You?"

"That’s right; if you deploy it yourself, it takes a lot of time and consumes a tremendous amount of resources to experiment; we need to power up."

Wang Wu lightly said.

"Only for myself? What about those two little ladies of yours?" She Shoujiu remembered something.

"They won’t do; one prerequisite for the Five Elements Spirit Array is possessing five demon pills or five spirit pills, in this aspect Snow Wolf is already eliminated; as for Yu Jiayan, perhaps possible in the future, but time is short; currently, only you best fit, and I trust you."

On hearing this, She Shoujiu couldn’t help but laugh, wanted to say something but ultimately said nothing.

"Come, I also trust you."
