Chapter 154: The Excitement of the Black Lotus

Hiss hiss…

As Yun Yi’s finger barely touched the icy cocoon surrounding Little Yao, it felt like an electric shock. A bone-chilling cold spread throughout his body, and white frost quickly covered his palm, racing up his arm like slithering white ice snakes.

It was a cold unlike anything he had ever felt before. The instant he touched it, Yun Yi’s body couldn’t help but shiver, and he instinctively wanted to use Red Lotus Karma Fire to resist.

“Do not use the Red Lotus Karma Fire; it will trigger the Great Cold Wave.”

Black Wind hurriedly reminded Yun Yi, bringing him back from his instinctive state.

“What a terrifying chill.”

Yun Yi sighed deeply.

“Of course, this is the source of the cold energy from the Xuan Spirit Cold Body, colder than a thousand-year-old ice. It can rival the Ice Bone, and an ordinary person cannot withstand it unless they have a special body. You must quickly activate your Dark Body. Do not waste any time. Hurry and absorb the cold energy. The slower you are, the more danger that girl will be in.”

Black Wind continuously offered guidance like a personal teacher.

“Okay.”

Yun Yi nodded, quickly calming his emotions. He sat on a chair next to the bed, took a deep breath, and began to activate his Dark Body. The black lotus inside him swayed continuously, as if the cold energy from the Xuan Spirit Cold Body had excited the black lotus, making it greatly exhilarated.

This excitement had been felt once before when he absorbed the Yama King Poison. Now, the unmatched Xuan Spirit Cold Body was nearly comparable to the Dark Body, so the black lotus was naturally very excited.

The power of darkness spread throughout his body, blending with the chilling air. Under Yun Yi’s control, a large amount of source cold air began to enter Yun Yi from Little Yao’s body, and this cold air was quickly absorbed by the black lotus, transforming it into the purest dark power for Yun Yi to refine and absorb.

At this sight, Black Wind finally relaxed. If he had any worries at first, now, the last bit of doubt had vanished.

“I knew this boy was special.”

Black Wind smiled. If it were just a simple Dark Body, it couldn’t withstand the cold impact of the Xuan Spirit Cold Body. He was certain that Yun Yi’s constitution was far more than just a simple Dark Body; he even concluded that Yun Yi’s constitution was rare in the world and even superior to the Xuan Spirit Cold Body.

Black Wind was confident. With his keen eyesight, there was no divine body in the world that he could not recognize, whether it was Duan Tianye’s Heavenly Demon Physique or Xia Xiaoyao’s Xuan Spirit Cold Body, he could see them all. But he could not discern Yun Yi’s constitution. Even after being in contact for so long, Black Wind still had no clues.

Black Wind could only see two possibilities: one was that Yun Yi was just a simple Dark and Fire Dual Spirit Body; the other was that his constitution was too special and powerful, beyond Black Wind’s understanding.

Yun Yi’s unmatched performance clearly pointed to the second possibility.

Hiss, hiss…

The increasingly intense cold air continued to impact Yun Yi’s body. Under the cover of the cold air, Yun Yi’s body was covered in white frost. The frost quickly formed a cold ice cocoon around him, just like Little Yao. The cold air in the room was too thick; Xia Xiaoyao on the bed and Yun Yi on the chair became two motionless ice figures, as if frozen by the cold air.

Outside the courtyard, Hu Quan nervously paced back and forth, his eyes locked on the room, his hands rubbing together anxiously.

“Hu Quan, you don’t need to be too anxious. Trust that Young Master Yun will surely save Little Yao.”

Hong Liang could not help but speak out to comfort him. In fact, with his status as the family master of the Hong family, Hu Quan was not important enough for Hong Liang to personally attend to, let alone stay here with him.

The only reason Hong Liang stayed by his side was because of Yun Yi.

Now, besides the connection to Yun Yi, there was also the connection to Xia Xiaoyao.

The birth of a Xuan Spirit Cold Body, if successful, would indicate the arrival of an extraordinary talent. The future achievements of Xia Xiaoyao were bound to be unimaginable. The Hong family was merely a small family in Jade Wheel City; if they could befriend a Xuan Spirit Cold Body, the benefits would be endless.

To put it plainly, if the existence of Xia Xiaoyao’s Xuan Spirit Cold Body became known to the public, the top leaders of the four great powers in Xuanzhou State would probably rush over to claim her.

The rare Xuan Spirit Cold Body is unmatched in the world. Not only in the small Xuanzhou State, but even in Huangzhou State, the top state of the Eastern Wilderness, or even in the central region of the Lingtian Continent, countless forces would be eager to compete for such a talent.

“Yes, Brother Yun has extraordinary skills; he will definitely save Little Yao, he surely will.”

Hu Quan spoke to comfort himself, but this self-comfort was also a form of confidence in Yun Yi.

In everyone’s heart, Yun Yi was almost like a god, all-powerful, even able to defeat Mo Jian, who was at the ninth grade of the Innate Realm.

Inside the room, the cold wave truly began to appear, ferocious and wild like a raging dragon, fiercely attacking Yun Yi, trying to freeze his blood and veins, turning him completely into an ice man.

This was the first time Yun Yi experienced such cold; his body was still in the stage of adapting.

However, Yun Yi’s heart was incredibly excited, just like the equally excited Black Lotus at that moment.

As more cold air entered Yun Yi’s body, Black Lotus became increasingly excited, spinning rapidly, stirring up a whirlwind in his dantian.

Gradually, Yun Yi’s body began to adapt to the cold; the speed at which Black Lotus devoured and refined the cold air also increased, until finally, the speed of refining matched the speed at which the cold air entered his body.

Just as Black Wind said, this cold air was also immensely beneficial for Yun Yi, almost considered a fortuitous event, as it not only allowed his body to quickly adapt to the cold but also elevated his cultivation level, pushing him toward the sixth grade of the Innate Realm.

An hour later, the cold air in the room began to recede, and the coldness in the courtyard gradually disappeared.

Next, Yun Yi and Little Yao, two ice people, began to melt.

“It worked!”

Black Wind’s eyes lit up as he excitedly said. Under his guidance, he personally witnessed the birth of the Xuan Spirit Cold Body, which was a point of pride for Black Wind himself.

In the other courtyard, feeling the quickly fading cold air, Hu Quan and the others finally showed signs of excitement. The only explanation for this situation was that Yun Yi had succeeded in absorbing the primal cold energy from Little Yao’s body, causing the cold to decrease.

Half an hour later, the cold air around Yun Yi and Little Yao completely disappeared, and they returned to their normal selves.
