Volume 1 Chapter 11: Frostbite Cold Jade of Wuxiang Sword Sect

  "What is the infinite kalpa body?" Jiang Feng asked.

  "Junior brother, don't be impatient, listen to me slowly. In this world, there exists..."

  After Qingmu slowly came to, Jiang Feng only then knew that the Cultivation Realm had many different types of physiques. Like the Earth Treasure Physique, Pure Yang Physique, Pure Yin Physique, Water Source Physique and so on.

  These physiques are not common, and whenever one appears, it is definitely a rare talent for cultivating immortals, becoming the target of competition among various sects. It can be said that as long as any physique is possessed, the future will be boundless.

  However, there are also strong and weak distinctions among the various physiques, as well as pure and non-existent distinctions. But it's really hard to say which physique is strong after all. Yet, among the many strange and bizarre physiques, there exists a very mysterious physique. This physique is called the "Infinite Cycle Body".

  The so-called Endless Kalpa Body is a physical body that has been cursed by heaven and resented by the earth. Those who possess this physique, if they do not cultivate immortality, it's fine. Once they start cultivating immortality, they will have to go through the baptism of endless heavenly kalpas. According to legend, every time an Endless Kalpa Body cultivator advances a small realm, they must cross a heavenly kalpa. Some even say that when an Endless Kalpa Body cultivator practices their skills, they will also encounter heavenly kalpas.

  People with this physique, let alone whether they can survive the continuous calamities. Even if they rely on various treasures to survive, no one has ever heard of anyone who can achieve great success.

  Just as Jiang Feng released his spiritual power, he had already triggered the heavenly tribulation. Although it couldn't be compared to the heavenly tribulation of a cultivator who was about to ascend, for Jiang Feng, it posed a mortal danger. Most importantly, once the heavenly tribulation arrived, it would also implicate the people around him. This was also the reason why those cultivators who chased and killed Jiang Feng last time died.

  "As far as I know, in the recent tens of thousands of years, there have been a few people with infinite body. Some sects have also spent a huge price to cultivate them, trying to create a strong one. Unfortunately, no one has ever broken through the golden elixir stage. They all died under the heavenly tribulation. Even the sects that cultivated them suffered heavy losses because of them. I think it's better for you to be cautious in your cultivation, brother." Qingmu said.

  Jiang Feng furrowed his brow, not expecting the problem to be so severe. As he thought about it, Jiang Feng suddenly burst out laughing. He laughed and said, "I'm envied by heaven and resented by earth. If even heaven and earth are jealous of me, that's how powerful I must be. Perhaps even heaven and earth fear the growth of my infinite calamity body."

  "Junior brother, don't be sad. Now that you've entered my Five Elements Sword Sect, everything will be taken care of by the sect. No one will dare to bully you. Even if junior brother can't go far on the path of cultivation, you can still live a life of wealth and honor." Qingmu said.

  Looking at Qingmu's somewhat embarrassed expression, Jiang Feng had already guessed why Qingmu wanted to take a substitute disciple. It was because Qingmu didn't dare teach Jiang Feng himself, fearing that he would put Jiang Feng in harm's way. By taking a substitute disciple, even if no one taught him, there would be much less risk.

  "Just be an ordinary person, live a life of wealth and honor, and enjoy all the glory and luxury that the world has to offer." said Jiang Feng.

  But soon, Jiang Feng shook his head and said: "If you didn't know that there were immortals in this world, then it would be fine. Now that you do know, how can you put it down?"

  "This matter is of great importance, you must be cautious, young master." Qingmu advised.

  Jiang Feng smiled slightly, pointing to a distant mountain and saying: "Qingmu Shixiong, if I told you now that there is an immortal on that mountain. All you need to do is climb the mountain to become an immortal. And I'll tell you that along the way up the mountain, there are countless beautiful scenery and countless thrilling stories. Finally, I'll also tell you that due to your own reasons, climbing the mountain would be equivalent to suicide. Would you give up on climbing the mountain to become an immortal, give up on the beautiful scenery along the way, and give up on those thrilling stories because of the risk of death?

  Upon hearing this, Qingmu was speechless. In his heart, he secretly sighed that fate was playing tricks on people. As for Jiang Feng's thoughts, Qingmu had already understood them clearly. He knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be useless.

  "Since my junior brother has made up his mind, then I'll go along with you. Let's leave this place first and find a location to pass on the orthodox skills of our sect. In the future when we return to the sect, my junior brother can cultivate in peace." Qingmu said.

  Jiang Feng didn't say anything else. Under Qingmu's lead, they walked towards the distance. Although things had changed here, Qingmu still quickly found the way out. That was exactly the mountain where Cheng Dong had left.

  But just as Aoki invited Jiang Feng to head towards the mountain, Jiang Feng stopped and stared blankly at the west. It was as if something there was attracting him.

  "Junior brother, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?" Qingmu asked.

  Jiang Feng shook his head and said somewhat perplexedly, "It's not that I'm uncomfortable. I just think we should take a walk in this direction before leaving here."

  Looking in the direction Jiang Feng was pointing, Qingmu was also puzzled. He said: "Walk this way? Why?"

  "I don't know either, it's just a hunch," said Jiang Feng.

  The two words "intuition" made Qingmu even more puzzled. But Jiang Feng had this idea, and now he has also found a way out, so Qingmu didn't worry about anything either, and just followed Jiang Feng along.

  Two people walked forward, getting farther and farther away. Along the way, they encountered quite a few small troubles. These troubles were nothing in Qingmu's eyes.

  After they walked out for more than an hour, a huge pit with a diameter of over 100 meters appeared in front of the two. Around the pit, there was a formation. Among them, many corpses could be seen. From the appearance of the corpses, it seemed that they had just died recently.

  Inside the big pit, a faint blue light emanated. Accompanied by bursts of cold air emerging. Presumably those who died inside the formation should have rushed towards the glowing thing in the pit. But for some reason, people outside the pit couldn't see what was inside.

  "Big brother, it seems like there's treasure inside the pit. Can you go in?" Jiang Feng asked.

  Aoki didn't say a word, just nodded and walked alone towards the big pit. When he approached the formation outside the pit, he stopped to study it.

  Looking at the formation in front of him, Qingmu's eyebrows gradually furrowed. He had already seen that this was a damaged and incomplete formation, almost destroyed. The reason for its destruction should be the appearance of that large pit. But this formation didn't seem like a formation from the Cultivation World. This point made Qingmu extremely puzzled.

  In his heart, he suspected that this was likely a Xian formation. But Qingmu didn't give up. After all, this formation had almost been rendered useless. After studying it for a while, Qingmu began to break the formation.

  The method of breaking the formation is simple, either find out the rule and break it away bit by bit, or forcefully destroy it. What Qingmu is doing now is to forcefully destroy this remaining formation.

  With a clap of his palms, the powerful cultivation of the Tribulation Transcender began to manifest. Streams of light shot out from Qing Mu's hands, heading towards the formation in front of him. Although the formation was damaged, it still retained some power. Otherwise, no one would have died here.

  After encountering Aoki's attack, the formation was immediately activated. A layer of red light appeared, covering the entire formation and blocking Aoki's attack. Moreover, from within the formation, a variety of red weapons with different shapes burst out, attacking Aoki.

  Those weapons were just the formation of an array attack, not real weapons. Qingmu's hands waved continuously, easily blocking those weapons and sending them back. Moreover, his attacks became stronger and stronger, causing the red light screen to shake constantly under the bombardment.

  Jiang Feng stood by and watched, feeling very envious. He fantasized that one day in the future, he would also be as powerful as Qingmu.

  Under Aoki's relentless barrage, the formation's defense grew weaker and weaker, and that layer of red light also dimmed in the intense shaking. The formation wanted to counterattack, but it couldn't touch Aoki.

  Later, the broken formation began to collapse. A loud rumbling sound was heard, and the entire formation exploded in a massive explosion. The occurrence of the explosion also meant that this remaining formation had been destroyed. Qingmu also took Jiang Feng away at the moment of the explosion, so as not to let Jiang Feng get involved.

  After the explosion subsided and everything calmed down, Qingmu and Jiangfen returned to the edge of the pit. As they looked into the pit, they found that about a hundred meters below, there was a stone house that had already half collapsed. The blue light and cold air they saw earlier were all emanating from within that stone house.

  Jiang Feng couldn't see clearly, but Qingmu could easily see things 100 meters away. When he saw the scene at the bottom of the pit, Qingmu's face showed joy. He then grabbed Jiang Feng and jumped into the pit.

  Two people stood on the collapsed stone house. Underneath, Jiang Feng saw clearly that amidst the collapsed stone house, there existed many pale blue stones. These stones were like ice blocks, not only emitting a faint blue light, but also releasing cold air.

  Picking up a blue stone the size of a brick, Jiang Feng felt that his hand was holding a piece of ice. However, he couldn't see any light emanating from the object in his hand. Looking down at the faint blue glow on the ground, Jiang Feng understood. In this stone house, there must be many such stones. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any light emitted.

  "Senior brother, what is this ice-like thing?" Jiang Feng asked Qingmu.

  Qingwu smiled and looked at Jiang Feng, saying: "This thing is called Ice Cold Jade. It's the best among cold jades. This is a high-quality material for making jade symbols and arrays. My junior brother came over to take a look, and unexpectedly found so many cold jades. Truly, his good fortune is very deep."

  "It's jade after all. And it can be used to make a jade talisman, which means we've found something good." Jiang Feng said with some excitement.

  "It's not just good stuff, the cold jade under our feet is enough to build a heavenly gate. We've made a big fortune this time." Qingmu said with a smile.

  Jiang Feng didn't think the Cold Jade under his feet was so valuable, he was naturally very happy. But Qing Mu, who was originally also very happy, gradually became somewhat unhappy.

  Before Jiang Feng could speak, he heard Qingmu sigh and say: "The body of countless kalpas, indeed has a deep good fortune. It's just unknown whether it's good luck or bad luck."
