Chapter 5140: On the Lake
cultivation method I practiced before was a dual cultivation technique. Even if it were tens or hundreds of years, my strength wouldn't necessarily change much. 。Yu Ya smiled bitterly, "Over the pas..."Don't worry, with several of us here, Bing Shi will never hurt a single hair on your head." Lu Yuanzi said hurriedly.
Right now, a dense army of ice corpses is continuously surging from the depths of the ice mist, like mountains roaring and seas crashing.
Even though Lü Yuanshi was a cultivator of considerable skill, he felt a shiver of fear at the sight before him.
The Ice Phoenix Palace Lord unexpectedly took out three Ice Demon Pearls at this time, which was a pleasant surprise. Even if it only restrained some low-level monsters, it could solve a lot of trouble for them.
“The Ice Phoenix Palace Master’s use of this treasure was indeed timely. Without the harassment of these countless low-level ice corpses, our journey might actually be successful.”
First Heaven Immortal also nodded, it seems that he didn't expect the Palace Master of Bingyun Palace to have such depth.
As soon as the First Yang Immortal Venerable's voice fell, three ice palaces within the San Dian Bing Yao Zhu each had a vortex churning out.
Several whirlpools raced around the ice lake, pulling and shaping the pervasive icy mist. Under this immense force, the mist gradually coalesced into three magnificent ice palaces.
Three ice mist palaces also shimmer with runes, their auras connected into one, forming a whole. It even propped up a relatively safe area above this icy lake.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles, the ice mist was completely cleared. Hundreds of thousands of ice corpses of all shapes and sizes emerged one after another, ranging from human forms to various demons, with different levels of power.
Without the cover of ice mist, countless ice corpses surged towards the Ice Palace area simultaneously.

As these ice corpse armies surged forward, the three ice palaces flickered and each split into three, forming an array of nine palaces.
Hundreds of thousands of ice corpse soldiers charged over, and when they entered the Nine Palaces Formation's range, they seemed to be met with an inexplicable obstruction, their speed significantly weakened.
However, corresponding to this, the Ice Phoenix Palace Master's eyes showed a hint of struggle. Even for a powerful figure like a Great Luo Golden Immortal to simultaneously hinder the attacks of hundreds of thousands of ice corpse soldiers was no easy feat and could not be sustained for long.
“The Palace Master of Bingyān only needs to help us dispel the influence of the ice mist barrier on the Ice Corpse Lake, there is no need to forcibly stop this massive army of Ice Corpses with one's own strength.”
As Mu Xia spoke, her primordial spirit was still in place, while figures of herself drifted forward.

A figure wielding a flying sword, resembled an immortal descending from the heavens, their presence radiant and captivating. Their robes fluttered gracefully, and with each strike of the sword, there was no trace of fire or smoke. It seemed like a graceful dance, as the sword's shadow swept through, slicing through hordes of ice corpses in two, leaving them scattered on the ground.

Part of the ice corpses were left behind after being chopped, while another part turned into ice mist and vanished without a trace.
The lotus avatar, the One Yang Immortal Venerable, Lu Yuanzi, Xiao Yu, and others took turns making their move. Even with hundreds of thousands of ice corpse troops, once they charged into the territory belonging to the Nine Palaces, they were immediately wiped out.
Beyond the confines of Jiǔdiàn's domain, the condensing ice mist had grown increasingly dense. Like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, it accumulated around Jiǔdiàn, blanketing the sky above and instilling in one's heart a profound sense of oppression.
Even though a group of strong fighters struggled fiercely, the surrounding ice corpses showed no signs of decrease, and the sound of corpse roars outside the Nine Palaces rose one after another.
"That won't do, we must find a way to break or hinder the operation of this Bing Shi Lake formation. Some of these Bing Shi are completely spirit corpses formed by the array. If we stay here and hold out, even we few will eventually run out of support." Lu Yuanzi's eyes showed undisguised anxiety.
The lotus avatar looked at Mu Xia, who shook her head. After a fierce battle, although the ice mist of Bingchi Lake was constantly surging and the fluctuations in energy were not small, she had not sensed the presence of the physical body.
“The formation base is at the bottom of the lake, and the surface of the lake is only a part of the formation's manifestation. However, the Ice Palace of Nine Halls manifested by my Three Palaces Ice Demon Pearl can only be maintained on the surface of the lake. If you enter the lake, I am afraid it will not be able to withstand the immense power of the formation.” The Ice Phoenix Palace Master's face was filled with worry.
"That's better than being trapped here forever," Yi Yang Xianzun's eyes flashed with a fierce light, he stretched out his palm, and a pillar of fire like a spinning giant needle fell on the thick ice layer.
Immediately afterward, the pillar of fire spun at an astonishing speed. Within a short time, it had drilled a large hole in the surface of the lake.
The astonishing icy air continued to pour in, and as it drilled holes in the lake surface, the fire pillar's glow visibly dimmed.
"Then let's go in and have a look." The lotus avatar nodded, reaching out to probe Xiao Yu's shoulder. A massive sword intent surged into Xiao Yu's body, and the astonishing icy air that had permeated his body was absorbed by the lotus avatar along with this sword intent.
Here's the translated text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"While the Yuanxi Ice Qi here hasn't yet condensed into Yuan Gang Ice Qi, it is still quite remarkable."
Even ordinary Da Luo Jinxian would find it difficult to move within, I absorbed most of the Yuan Xi Bing Qi, your sword intent under the remaining Yuan Xi Bing Qi is also in danger of being frozen.
But if you can endure this tribulation and break through the shackles of the fire-elemental laws within your body, your cultivation will undoubtedly advance further. Perhaps the time it takes to achieve the Law Body state will be significantly shortened compared to before.
The lotus avatar's way of speaking had already taken Xiao Yu into the depths of the ice lake.
Mú Xià hadn't yet sensed the presence of her physical body, but her lotus avatar was the first to detect a faint yet familiar sword intent. Within this Bing Shī Lake, there were other fragments of the Sacred Soul Sword Tablet, and there was more than one.
In this case, even without the reason of Mu Xia, the lotus avatar would eventually come to investigate. With several powerful helpers around now, it's better to take advantage of this opportunity to investigate than wait for another chance.
"There are other fragments of the sword steles inside." As soon as they entered the Ice Corpse Lake, Mu Xia also sensed it, "It looks like they were suppressed by the Ice Corpse Lake. We have to be careful."
The lotus avatar nodded, and the Saint Soul Sword Monument split into how many pieces remained unknown for now. Besides him and Mu Xia, there were obviously other lucky people as well.
But once they entered the Ice Corpse Lake, their luck ran out.
“Since there are fragments of the sword stele inside, I think it's better to find this thing first. It just so happens that both Lord Wu Ming and Xia Mu can use it, and we can also give it a try. When our strength improves, it will be easier to break through.”
Yi Yang Xianzun let out a chuckle. His cultivation base gradually stabilized, and his control over Fen Yun Xian Yan and Xue Xie Yun Yan became even more effortless. Seeing Mu Xia's primordial spirit, capable of achieving such astonishing strength with just a fragment of a sword stele, he was impressed.
Master Pung Lin's strength was even more astonishing, and his lotus avatars gained two additional pieces, constantly increasing their power.
Yiyang Xianzun considered that his experience in the small and large battles within Haishen Palace had made him progress significantly. However, the gap between his strength and the lotus avatar's was growing larger and larger.
In this situation, naturally even the One Yang Immortal Venerable wanted a share of the pie and wanted to try out the strangeness of this Saint Soul Sword Tablet fragment.
The Holy Soul Sword Monument, as one of the highest inheritances of the Sea Soul Palace, naturally has its special aspects. Most people who want to refine it need a soul body as the main component.
That is to say, one must abandon their physical body in order to fully integrate the sword intent into oneself. Otherwise, even if it can enhance combat power to a certain extent, the degree of integration will be incomplete and the improvement will be relatively limited.
Moreover, the number of sword tablet fragments a single person can simultaneously integrate is relatively limited, ranging from one to several.

Even with the previous Lord of Pengling Hall's strength, after finding the second fragment of the sword tablet, refining it was not so smooth, which is why he was restricted by the Phosphorous Soul Lion's head.
Mu Xia looked at the First Yang Immortal with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. For a moment, the First Yang Immortal, Lu Yuanzi, and Bing Yan Palace Master all felt a little awkward. They had all simultaneously had a similar thought.
After all, everyone came to Bingchi Lake for an adventure at the same time. Lianhua's avatar is undeniably the strongest among us. We all contributed during the process of exterminating the Lord of Penglin Hall before.
Even if the lotus avatar contributed more and received sufficient benefits, if they encountered such rare battle trophies in the future, it would be impossible for them to all be claimed by the lotus avatar alone.

"The nameless city lord has already refined two pieces of the sword monument fragments. Not only is his physical body unharmed, but his cultivation seems to have been unaffected at all." Yi Yang Xianzun frowned.
"Lord Wuming was an exception. He had always devoted himself to the sword path, his talent and accomplishments in swordsmanship far surpassing ours. It wasn't that Lord Wuming refined the fragments of the Sword Stele, but rather that he gained the recognition of the Sacred Soul Sword Stele." Mu Xia said leisurely.
"Has been recognized by the Holy Soul Sword Monument"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Yi Yang Xianzun and the others changed drastically. They looked at the lotus avatar with surprise and envy. If this were truly the case, how powerful would the lotus avatar's cultivation reach in the future
Even though Mu Xia said so, the several Immortal Venerables of Yiyang didn't give up on their idea of getting the fragments of the sword stele. Some things, if you don't try them yourself, how would you know if you can't do it Perhaps they could be an exception.
"Since that's the case, let's distribute the fragments of the sword tablet obtained from Bingchi Lake amongst yourselves." Seeing the flickering eyes of the few people, the Lotus avatar said.
"Lord of the Nameless City," Mu Xia was quite taken aback.
Logically, the Sword Inscription fragments are irreplaceable to Lotus' avatar. They can only exert their full potential in her hands. She originally thought that Lotus' avatar wouldn't willingly relinquish them.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Even the esteemed Yiyang Immortal Venerable, Lord Lu Yuanzi, and Ice Phoenix Palace Mistress were quite astonished.
This is a test.
Their idea was somewhat similar to Xia's, they thought it would take some effort to persuade her, but unexpectedly, the lotus avatar directly agreed.
"Without the help of several fellow cultivators, who cooperated with me both inside and outside, I would not have been able to escape after being swallowed by the phosphorous soul corpse. I wouldn't have lasted until I obtained the fragment of the sword tablet."
Of course, there would be no subsequent events. The fight between the masters of Penglin Hall was a desperate struggle, and the greatest benefit for me was...
Now it's the turn of several fellow cultivators. If we start arguing over this, even if I forcefully take the remaining fragments of the sword steles from others, it would feel dishonorable and negatively impact my swordsmanship.
The lotus avatar smiled faintly, "Besides, with a great enemy at hand and nothing yet secured, it wouldn't hurt to be generous."
>
One Yang Immortal Venerable, upon hearing this, all laughed heartily, "Lord of the nameless city, I rarely yield to others, you are one such person. If you obtain the treasure, then I will try my hand at the sword stele fragment behind it. If, in truth, it is not particularly beneficial to my cultivation, then I shall certainly give it to you."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Lu Yuanzi and Bing Yao Palace Mistress also each nodded.
"Then I shall accept." The lotus avatar wasn't being polite, it wasn't that he was simply generous. First, let alone these people had truly worked hard along the way, otherwise with his strength, he wouldn't have even made it this far. It was definitely deserved for them to share in the profits.
Besides, the lotus avatar sensed a powerful aura of corpse energy in this Ice Corpse Lake, far stronger than that of him and Mu Xia. There were countless ice corpse armies in the Ice Corpse Lake as well.
With a great enemy at our doorstep, if these people were to fall out over the distribution of war spoils, it would be foolish in the extreme. If they truly went their separate ways, there was no guarantee that any of them would make it out alive. As for the spoils of war, those are things only victors have the right to consider.
Mu Xia couldn't sense her physical body for the time being, and with the Lotus Avatar's promise, the group naturally followed the Lotus Avatar and Mu Xia towards the direction where sword intent surged.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At the beginning, they still had to rely on Lotus's avatars and Muyang's perception of the fragments of the Sword Tablet. Later, even a few cultivators like Yiyang Xianzun could sense that sharp and magnificent sword intent.
"Something's wrong." The lotus clone suddenly hissed.
“What’s wrong” Yi Yang Xianzun didn't seem to have noticed anything obvious, but he also felt that the atmosphere around them was indeed more solemn. Besides the extreme cold brought by Yuan Xi's ice energy, there was also a kind of almost frightening aura.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
“The aura of the sword fragment in the Ice Corpse Lake is real, but judging by the current situation, it's most likely a lure! The Ice Soul Golden Scale Corpse Emperor is probably here!” Mu Xia also reacted at this time.
As soon as the voice fell, a number of gigantic corpses suddenly condensed in the icy lake. These corpses resembled dragons with their heads, lizard bodies, and scales that shimmered with a pale gold hue.
A large amount of corpse qi within the entire Ice Corpse Lake is constantly converging towards these corpse shadows, and the corpse shadows are also becoming more solid at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Thirty-six golden scales corpses, each reaching a hundred zhang in size, were seated at every corner, encircling Lotus's split body and the others within the central area.
“If you stay on the lake surface for a while longer, you may live a little longer. Since you've ventured into the lake, you can only blame your own short life.”
A hoarse yet dignified voice rose simultaneously from the thirty-six golden scale corpse shadows, giving one a most bizarre feeling.
“Arrogant fool! If you truly possessed such skill, you wouldn't resort to these petty tricks and illusions. Show yourself and let us have a real fight!” Yiyáng Xianzun sneered.
Lu Yuanzi stood beside Mu Xia, with Bing Yian Gong's master on her left. Even though she knew Mu Xia's current strength was extraordinary, if she really had to make a move against Mu Xia, who was in the spirit realm state, she would still feel a bit worried.
“You're courting death!” The golden scale corpse shadow roared, each shadow striking out a faint golden light, converging into a giant claw to strike the Tai Yang Immortal Venerable.
Lord Yiyang Xianzun didn't dodge or evade, directly striking with a palm. With a booming sound, the thirty-six golden shadows within remained calm, but the area outside the formation exploded with chaotic whirlpools.
Yi Yang Xianzun's face flushed, his body flew backward several meters, and his palms trembled slightly. His palms were covered in a thick layer of ice crystals. He circulated his immortal essence, swallowing it and spitting it out, before shattering all the ice crystals.
"This fellow is incredibly powerful, I am completely outmatched." Yi Yang Xianzun's expression was extremely grave.
