“Hmm?

Is that, Source Ice Breath?!”

At this moment, Gu Chen employed his Divine Eyesight and peered at the valley and palace, only to discover wisps upon wisps of a fog-like gas twirling around.

Initially, Gu Chen had thought it was just ordinary mist, but after using his Divine Eyesight, he realized that it was the legendary Source Ice Breath, an incredibly powerful cold air!

Source Ice Breath, imbued with the utmost yin force, is an icy oddity rarely seen throughout the upper realms, extremely powerful and cold.

If pure enough, even the mightiest beings of the upper realms would shudder upon encountering it and would need to keep their distance.

Even, Gu Chen had heard that when Source Ice Breath was condensed to a certain extent, even space and time, heaven and earth, would be frozen in its presence.

This was the formidable power of Source Ice Breath that made people change color upon speaking of it, necessitating a wide berth if seen.

It could be said that it represented a certain pinnacle of icy forces.

“How am I to approach, with such copious amounts of Source Ice Breath enveloping the valley?” Gu Chen’s expression changed.

Although he was extraordinary, he was still only at the Tianren realm.

Even divine dragons, elusive, but dominant across the upper realms, feared Source Ice Breath, and now as Gu Chen beheld it, he truly was at a loss, totally baffled.

The Ice Emperor’s legacy was within sight, yet unattainable, only to be watched despairingly; there was nothing more agonizing than this feeling.

“What could possibly be done?” At this moment, Gu Chen furrowed his brows tightly.

“Hmm?

What’s that…?”

Just then, Gu Chen’s gaze shifted and he saw a lake.

His eyes narrowed, and he could not help but exclaim, “Heavenly Origin Liquid?!”

Heavenly Origin Liquid was also a treasure difficult to find in the world, yet unlike Source Ice Breath, it could assist one in breaking through their cultivation level and realm, nourishing both the body and the spirit, and was particularly effective in healing wounds.

“So much Heavenly Origin Liquid?!” Gu Chen was astonished; in the upper realms, Heavenly Origin Liquid was counted by the drop, but here, there was a whole lake of it?!

And clearly, judging by the looks of it, the Ice Emperor, in his life, did not regard Heavenly Origin Liquid as anything special, which made sense.

At that level, Heavenly Origin Liquid had long since lost its usefulness.

It might even be said that what casually slipped through the fingers of the Ice Emperor was more precious than an entire lake of Heavenly Origin Liquid.

Gu Chen was greatly shaken, feeling as if he were a country bumpkin upon his arrival.

His eyes moved about, inspecting everything, but besides that valley and palace, the Source Ice Breath and the Heavenly Origin Liquid lake, there was nothing else in this small world.

“I get the feeling that this place might have been the Ice Emperor’s abode before?” guessed Gu Chen, feeling that his guess was very close to the truth.

“So, the Ice Emperor placed his legacy here?” Gu Chen mumbled to himself, looking at the distant valley surrounded by dense white fog, with no idea of what to do but to stand in place, anxious.

He tried to approach, but as soon as he got somewhat near, he felt an extreme cold that almost froze him solid.

“Just as I thought, it won’t work,” Gu Chen sighed, and swiftly retreated.

“That’s it!” The next moment, an idea flashed in Gu Chen’s mind, and he knew how to deal with that Source Ice Breath.

“However, in order to implement this method, I must first achieve a breakthrough in my cultivation level!” Gu Chen’s eyes burned passionately as he fixed his gaze on the nearby Heavenly Origin Liquid lake.

He walked closer, about to dive in with a splash, but ultimately held himself back.

“No, if I were to jump in there, and drink Heavenly Origin Liquid later, wouldn’t that be like drinking my own bathwater?

I need to find another way.”

Gu Chen stood by the shore, taking a deep breath.

In an instant, the vital energy around him, including the Heavenly Origin Liquid in the lake beneath his feet, rose up into countless water columns.

They transformed into long dragons, continuously entering through his mouth, nose, and pores all over his body.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The sound, like waves churning, kept rising intensely.

Gu Chen swallowed and gulped down the Heavenly Origin Liquid from the lake beneath his feet with a frenzy, and his cultivation level surged along with this intake.

A vast amount of Heavenly Origin Liquid appeared within his body, nourishing his flesh, bones, and spirit.

His cultivation and mystical powers were purified and climbed step by step.

This reckless absorption was indeed exhilarating, but very soon, Gu Chen found he had reached his limit.

At the same time, his realm had reached the great perfection of the Tian Yuan realm.

“Hmm?

I can feel a barrier in front of me, blocking my path,” Gu Chen paused his absorption of the Heavenly Origin Liquid, his brows slightly furrowed.

“So this is the so-called bottleneck, or rather, the ceiling of the martial arts domain, the barrier of realms?” Gu Chen mused to himself.

He realized that to continue growing his cultivation, he needed to break through the bottleneck—the ceiling of the martial arts domain, known as the barrier of realms—so that his being could fully sublimate and then break through to a completely new world!

This is the process that every living being will undergo when leaping from the human realm to the Earth realm.

In the upper realms, many people spend their whole lives stuck at this checkpoint, making no progress.

Among them are some talents who once advanced rapidly on the path of martial arts.

Even historically, some figures at the level of holy sons and holy daughters were stuck here, unable to break through, living their lives in gloom and ultimately dying in misery. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

When faced with such a major realm or bottleneck from a different domain, the majority of heavenly and earthly treasures and spiritual medicines lose their effectiveness.

Basically, one can only rely on oneself to break through, to overcome.

“Break through and overcome, then one can transform from cocoon to butterfly, leap from fish to dragon, arriving at a new world.

If not successful, the outcome needs no further explanation…” Gu Chen spoke softly, his expression somewhat solemn.

He certainly had confidence that the so-called barrier of realms, or the bottleneck, could not trap him, but to break through would still require some time.

Going from the great perfection of Tian Yuan realm to instantly breaking through and achieving the strength of the Earth realm was too unrealistic, even divine intervention wouldn’t suffice.

“I’ve been too anxious,” Gu Chen steadied his emotions and exhaled gently.

This time, he completely calmed down and also felt his own condition.

“The Heavenly Origin Liquid truly lives up to its reputation.

The strength I possess now, compared to not long ago, has skyrocketed considerably!” Gu Chen’s eyes were focused and intense as he softly said to himself, “To say I’m at the highest ceiling of the Tian Yuan realm now would not be an exaggeration.”

Whether it was his physical body, cultivation, or spiritual sense—three fundamental aspects that constitute a martial artist—Gu Chen had reached the limit of the martial arts domain.

At this realm, he was confident he could face and surpass all enemies from the past and present!

“But because of this, my bottleneck, or the barrier of the realm, is harder to break through than others, because I’m too strong.

Naturally, breaking past my own limits becomes even more difficult,” Gu Chen said, his demeanor calm, neither sad nor happy.

Then, he looked up at the valley and palace shrouded in Source Ice Breath in the distance and said, “However, now I feel somewhat certain about getting closer.”
