Chapter 49: Cold Pool Cultivation
However, the actual result was far beyond the expectations of Peng Zhang and the others!
"As long as I don't die, I will make you understand what it means to be unable to seek life or death!" Tan Yun turned back and stared fiercely at the three of them before leaping into the abyss-like Fierce Valley Cold Pool!
"Senior Brother Peng, this kid actually jumped!" Song Guang exclaimed as he rushed to the edge of the cliff, looking down to see Tan Yun plummeting into the shimmering cold pool with a loud splash!
"What do we do now, Senior Brother Peng?" Li Yi glanced back at the snow domain demon ape lurking nearby, unwilling to leave, and asked in a daze.
Peng Zhang furrowed his brows, thinking for a moment before saying, "Even if we want to return to the sect, we need to restore our strength first. Besides, as long as we don’t see Tan Yun’s corpse, we haven’t completed Senior Brother Murong's task."
"We'll restore our strength here while keeping an eye on his movements below, and we can't let him escape!" As soon as Peng Zhang finished speaking, his gaze suddenly sharpened, noticing that Tan Yun had burst out of the water and quickly sat cross-legged on the ice above.
"Primordial Chaos Condensation Technique!"
With heightened vigilance, Tan Yun scanned the eerily silent surface of the pool while swiftly forming seals with his hands. Immediately, the rich spiritual energy above the cold pool surged wildly into his brow!
"What a powerful absorption speed, even faster than my own breathing technique!" Peng Zhang, perched on the cliff, displayed an unmistakable shock in his eyes. He could clearly perceive that the spiritual energy above the cliff was like wisps of flowing clouds rapidly swirling downwards!
Seeing that Li Yi and Song Guang were equally stunned, Peng Zhang decisively said, "We must not let him restore his strength; otherwise, it will be difficult to catch him again! You two come with me, and we’ll force him into the cold pool!"
With that, Peng Zhang leaped off the cliff. Song Guang and Li Yi followed closely behind!
The three of them held swords in their right hands, spreading their arms to maintain balance as they fell rapidly. When they were still about two hundred meters above Tan Yun, they waved their right arms, and dozens of sword auras shot down toward him!
With a tenfold absorption speed of the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth, the spiritual power within Tan Yun’s spirit pool had already restored to one percent.
He barely executed the primordial divine step, narrowly dodging the descending sword auras before plunging into the depths of the pool.
"So cold!" In the bone-chilling waters, Tan Yun's body trembled as he swam deeper and deeper.
Using the limited spiritual power left in his spirit pool, he cast the low-level spell, tortoise breathing technique.
He had no more spiritual power to spare to check with his spiritual sense whether the three above were pursuing him!
As he continued to delve deeper into the cold pool, not only did the water temperature drop further and the light dim, but visibility also decreased continuously. At this moment, Tan Yun could only vaguely see within a hundred meters.
To survive, Tan Yun had to silently endure the cold and the unknown dangers, desperately swimming deeper. After half an hour, he had already descended six thousand meters into the cold pool!
If it weren’t for his powerful physique, he would have long been frozen to death or crushed by the immense water pressure!
Time flew by, and another hour passed. Tan Yun had now descended ten thousand meters, his bones creaking under the water pressure!
He was so cold that he was nearly losing consciousness, realizing he could not go any deeper, or he would be crushed to death by the pressure!
What terrified him even more was that during his descent into the cold pool, he had frequently seen first-stage demon beasts, ugly and newborn, but now, as he delved deeper, his vision was pitch black, rendering him as blind as a bat.
