Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 548 - 564: An Ominous Premonition

The Sword Spirit's words made Chu Linfeng stop immediately and ask in confusion, "Why can't we do it this way, how can we obtain the Holy Jade Snow Lotus?"

"The ice layer here is not as simple as you imagine. Even if you use Earth Slash to attack, you may not be able to break through it. You need to find another way." The Sword Spirit said.

Chu Linfeng glanced at the ice layer beneath the Water of Cold Glaze, unexpectedly finding it so hard, while the Holy Jade Snow Lotus could break through this layer and grow normally, which was truly incredible.

"Then how can I obtain the Holy Jade Snow Lotus? If I delay for several more days, I can't afford it. I've been away from the Green Frost Sect for so long, and I'm unsure of the situation within the sect. Although things seem calm now on the surface, if something happens without any masters in the sect to oversee it, it will be very dangerous." Chu Linfeng said.

"To obtain the Holy Jade Snow Lotus, you must first acquire the Cold Soul Pearl. This pearl has a peculiar attribute; by injecting the Star Power into it, it creates a coldness comparable to Cold Ice Astral. This coldness rapidly turns the ice into Water of Cold Glaze upon contact with the ice layer. Do you understand now?" The Sword Spirit explained.

Chu Linfeng wasn't stupid; he quickly understood the meaning but, despite checking around with Divine Sense, did not perceive the Cold Soul Pearl anywhere. Could it possibly be beneath the ice layer? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Where is the Cold Soul Pearl? Why can't I see it?" Chu Linfeng asked.

"The Cold Soul Pearl is a Treasure of Heaven and Earth, already possessing some spiritual essence, which allows it to hide itself. Given thousands more years, it might even form an Artifact Spirit, making it even harder to obtain. You need to slowly perceive to discover its location.

To obtain it, you need to perform Fire Transformation, allowing the hot flames to instantly eliminate the Cold Flame coating the pearl's surface, making it usable for you," said the Sword Spirit.

Chu Linfeng trusted the omnipresent Sword Spirit's advice, remembering past experiences. He began perceiving as instructed. Within the barrier, beside the seven-colored Holy Jade Snow Lotus, there was nothing else, but after perceiving for a long time, he got no results.

Since the Sword Spirit assured its presence, Chu Linfeng firmly believed. After repeatedly perceiving, at one moment, he detected a slight energy fluctuation nearby, an observation filling him with joy and surprise.

"Finally confirmed! This time, let's see where you try to escape!" Chu Linfeng said with a faint smile.

Gradually, a green pearl appeared in his mind, slightly larger than the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, approximately the size of an egg, with white mist continuously emanating from its surface.

Following the Sword Spirit's method, Chu Linfeng moved with intent, rapidly summoning a flame into his palm, then swiftly reached out toward the space before him guided by what appeared in his mind.

He realized the spot grabbed seemed devoid of Water of Cold Glaze, almost as if isolated mysteriously, yet feeling the tangible sensation of a round pearl quietly resting in his hand.

When it reached his hand, Chu Linfeng did not feel any coldness, possibly due to using Water Transformation; after a few breaths, he checked it thoroughly and found it just as expected, a green pearl.

Then, Chu Linfeng approached the location of the Holy Jade Snow Lotus, circulating the Power of Chaos within his body before quickly injecting it into the Cold Soul Pearl, causing a green glow to appear. He hurriedly placed it on the ice layer and watched silently.

To his astonishment, the hard ice layer started to melt at a visibly rapid pace, making Chu Linfeng feel the power of the Cold Soul Pearl, leaving him incredibly excited.

Soon, a large area of the ice layer had melted, revealing many parts of the lotus root of the Holy Jade Snow Lotus. At this moment, the Sword Spirit said, "Quickly pick some. Remember not to pick them all; rare items like the Holy Jade Snow Lotus should have some left as a deed for others, which brings great benefits to you."

Though Chu Linfeng didn't fully comprehend the Sword Spirit's words, he followed her advice, collecting two sections of lotus root and storing them in the Storage Ring, preparing to leave afterward.

Then, the Sword Spirit said, "Don't rush; you've taken the lotus root, so the petals should soon form lotus seeds. Pick the pod all at once!"

Chu Linfeng was somewhat puzzled by the Sword Spirit's statement since the Holy Jade Snow Lotus was still in bloom and there were no signs of pods or seeds. Just as he was about to inquire, he saw the seven-colored lotus bloom wither suddenly, gradually forming a pod, ultimately sprouting seven colored lotus seeds on it.

Chu Linfeng then took out the Cyan Frost Sword, slicing off the pod quickly and storing it in the Storage Ring. He followed by asking, "What is the purpose of the pod and seeds?"

"They have great purposes; you'll understand their value later. These are extremely rare, even valuable in our domain; keep them safe! It's about time; let's leave now!" The Sword Spirit advised.

After taking the Cold Soul Pearl from the ice layer, Chu Linfeng exited the water surface; without Water Transformation, he might not have been able to stay here, let alone obtain the Cold Soul Pearl and Holy Jade Snow Lotus from the Water of Cold Glaze.

Upon leaving the cave, Chu Linfeng flew into the sky, quickly slashing a sword, producing a rumbling sound as massive stones and accumulated snow cascaded down, triggering another avalanche. This time, Chu Linfeng did it intentionally, aiming to seal the cave entrance, as the rare Holy Jade Snow Lotus inside requires a fated person to obtain.

Once finished, Chu Linfeng vanished with a flash after performing Instant Teleportation, subsequently summoning the Golden Demon Vulture from inside him through intent. He seated it and slowly flew toward the Green Frost Sect.

"Boss, you've gained a lot this time, acquiring the rare Holy Jade Snow Lotus!" the Golden Demon Vulture commented.

"You knew?" Chu Linfeng was visibly a bit surprised.

"Of course, we've signed a Soul Contract; ordinary matters are known to me. Boss, your abilities truly make me admire you deeply!" the Golden Demon Vulture laughed, flapping its enormous wings and advancing several kilometers.

Chu Linfeng began feeling unsettled knowing ordinary matters were known, worried that even his personal moments with his beloved might have been witnessed by the vulture; he worried, "Now what do I do?"

"Boss, don't worry; I intentionally block my consciousness when you're with the sisters, only aware during emergencies or conflicts outside, so don't stress about it." assured the Golden Demon Vulture.

Relieved by the vulture's words, Chu Linfeng resolved not to allow the Golden Demon Vulture back inside in the future, nor Xiaoying; once back in the sect, he'll have those two guard the sect to prevent them from witnessing every event… (three consecutive chapters at night)
