Chapter 108 The Northern Darkness Ice Soul Body Goes Out of Control

"On it!"

With the System's word, Lin Xiao's eyes instantly lit up. Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, he charged straight toward the Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao.

"Fine! Here! Stop chasing me!"

The silver-armored girl's face flushed with annoyance. A fist-sized ball of five-colored light flew from her hand, smashing directly toward Lin Xiao's face.

After throwing the light, the six wings on the girl's back flapped violently as she fled toward the sky.

Color returned to the world once more.

Lin Xiao got his wish and obtained the light. He immediately took a deep breath, inhaling all of the light into his body.

He wasn't sure if it was just psychological, but Lin Xiao felt that the scent of this light was very similar to that of the Heavenly Dao girl.

As the light entered his body, the God Elephant Suppressing Hell Force operated automatically, voraciously devouring this foreign energy.

The Dragon Elephant Granules within him were like withered wood meeting spring, transforming into Primordial Elephant Granules one after another.

One, a hundred, ten thousand...

In the blink of an eye, another 270 million Dragon Elephant Granules within Lin Xiao's body completed their transformation into Primordial Elephant Granules.

His Sea of Consciousness was also forcibly expanded by this power, and his Divine Sense skyrocketed accordingly.

Counting his previous accumulation, Lin Xiao now possessed 490 million Primordial Elephant Granules within his body.

Lin Xiao clenched his fists and casually moved his joints.

Space trembled slightly, emitting a series of continuous sonic booms.

Because he had previously absorbed the Lightning Tribulation Liquid, golden arcs of electricity still flickered around his body. Combined with his Noble Spirit, he looked almost like a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao itself!

For an ordinary Cultivator, it would take at least several thousand years to completely refine the Heavenly Dao Rosy Clouds.

But before the God Elephant Suppressing Hell Force, it was just a single gulp.

As the worldly phenomena completely dissipated, Lin Xiao's original form appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Congratulations to the Saint on forming his Nascent Soul!"

A unified and loud congratulatory roar sounded as the Disciples and Elders of the Holy Land bowed toward Misty Peak one after another.

Lin Xiao cupped his fists in salute to the crowd and then descended back to Misty Peak.

Holy Master Liu Xuanyi also arrived with the other Peak Revered Masters, gathering around to offer their congratulations and gifts.

In the past, Lin Xiao would have been so excited by such a large collection of treasures that he wouldn't have been able to sleep for three days and nights.

But now, possessing the entire Dragon Palace treasury, he could only pretend to be enthusiastic as he accepted the trivialities sent by everyone.

"The Saint has already reached the Nascent Soul Realm at the age of twenty. In the future, he will surely ascend to the absolute peak of the Immortal Dao!"

"Indeed, those Prodigies in the Central State who call themselves geniuses are nothing compared to the Saint!"

...

Listening to the crowd's flattery, Lin Xiao smiled and cupped his fists, bowing to everyone in a circle.

"You Elders overpraise me," Lin Xiao said with a humble tone and respectful attitude.

"I owe everything I have today to the Holy Land's cultivation. I especially want to thank the Holy Revered Master and the Peak Revered Masters for personally acting as my Protectors today. Without you Elders deterring those with ill intent, I would not have been able to form my Nascent Soul in peace. I will keep this kindness in my heart."

"Peak Master Pei truly has a good Disciple. If those worthless things under my wing had even one-tenth of the Saint's Comprehension Ability, I would wake up laughing from my dreams," the Peak Revered Master of Muyun Peak said with a face full of envy.

Holy Master Liu Xuanyi also looked at Pei Qinghan with an appreciative expression.

"Indeed, Peak Master Pei. Since the founding of our Primordial Holy Land, no one has ever been able to form a Nascent Soul at this age. As his Revered Master, your contribution cannot be overlooked."

Pei Qinghan wore a white palace dress, which made her cold and ethereal temperament stand out even more.

Although she had used makeup to cover the paleness of her face, Lin Xiao still noticed a slight clue.

Lin Xiao immediately took half a step forward, his smile remaining unchanged as he cupped his fists in salute once more.

"It was purely by luck that I had such a fortune."

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank my Revered Master for her tireless and hard work in teaching me over the years. Without Revered Master, I wouldn't be here today."

"However, I just broke through too quickly, and the spiritual energy in my body is still unstable. I fear my Foundation is not solid. Next, I will need my Revered Master's help to enter seclusion and consolidate my cultivation."

This polite request for them to leave was handled naturally and appropriately.

Everyone understood the hint and began to take their leave from Pei Qinghan and Lin Xiao.

Before leaving, Peak Master Shen Yuan stood in place, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

She gave Lin Xiao a complex look, then nodded slightly and flew away on the wind.

After everyone had left.

Lin Xiao and Pei Qinghan returned to the Peak Master Hall.

As soon as they entered the hall, the cold Qi around Pei Qinghan could no longer be suppressed and began to spread in all directions.

The spiritual flowers and exotic plants in the courtyard, sensing this cold Qi, closed their petals one after another as a thin layer of frost formed over them.

Lin Xiao stepped forward quickly and grabbed his Revered Master's wrist.

To his touch, there was none of the usual warmth and delicacy, only a bone-chilling cold.

"Revered Master, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Xiao stared intently at his Revered Master's pale cheeks, his voice filled with worry.

A flash of panic crossed Pei Qinghan's eyes, and she subconsciously turned her head away.

She tried to pull her hand back, but how could Lin Xiao let go?

Seeing this, Pei Qinghan could only press her thin lips together and force herself to say:

"It's nothing. I just had a slight mishap with my cultivation recently, causing my spiritual energy to flow in reverse. I'll be fine after a few days of meditation. Go back and consolidate your cultivation first, don't worry about me..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Pei Qinghan felt her vision blur, her delicate body went soft, and she collapsed forward.

Lin Xiao threw his arms out and quickly caught her.

A layer of white frost was spreading across Pei Qinghan's hair and clothes at a visible rate.

Lin Xiao didn't dare to delay and hurriedly took his Revered Master to her sleeping chambers.

After laying her flat on the cloud bed, Lin Xiao immediately channeled his Pure Yang Spiritual Power into her.

Watching his Revered Master's complexion slightly improve, Lin Xiao frowned and thought to himself:

"Doesn't the Cold Poison in Revered Master's body only flare up once a year?"

"And I've nourished her acupoints so many times during this period, why has Revered Master's condition gotten worse instead?"

[Ding! Because the host changed the timeline, Pei Qinghan used more Northern Underworld Power than she could handle to save the host, breaking the delicate balance between herself and the Northern Underworld Ice Soul Body.]

"What?"

Lin Xiao's heart shook violently, and he immediately followed up with another question:

"Sister System, what kind of Physique is this Northern Underworld Ice Soul Body exactly? Why does it bring such severe side effects to a Cultivator?"

[The Northern Underworld Ice Soul Body is one of the Ten Absolute Physiques...]

After hearing the System's explanation, Lin Xiao's frown deepened.

"So, a Cultivator is like a balloon, and the Ten Absolute Physique is the gas being constantly pumped into it."

"Daily cultivation is like increasing the balloon's toughness and capacity. If a Cultivator relies too much on the power brought by the Ten Absolute Physique while their own cultivation and Realm can't keep up, they will eventually be burst by this massive power due to insufficient capacity."

"Previously, a weak balance was maintained between Revered Master and the Ten Absolute Physique. But this time, to save me, Revered Master over-drafted the power of the Northern Underworld Ice Soul Body, which led to the cold Qi in her body losing control..."

Thinking of this, a sense of warmth couldn't help but rise in Lin Xiao's heart, but he also couldn't help feeling some regret.

He had only thought that the Flood Dragon King couldn't do anything to him, but he hadn't considered that his actions would create a butterfly effect, causing his Revered Master to use the power of the Northern Underworld Ice Soul Body ahead of time.

According to the System's description of the Ten Absolute Physiques, he couldn't even ask the Holy Land for help right now.

A Physique like the Ten Absolute Physiques was too unique. Although the Holy Revered Master and the Grand Elders all treated him with care, it was impossible for Lin Xiao to gamble his Revered Master's life on the hearts of others.

"System, can I exchange all my villain points for a Medicinal Pill to heal Revered Master?"

The System was silent for two seconds.

[Sorry host, as a Villain System, I cannot provide you with this kind of help.]

"I understand," Lin Xiao said softly, not blaming the System.

First, this matter was his own fault.

Second, he could faintly feel that there seemed to be some kind of agreement between the System and the true Heavenly Dao.

The System could only intervene in matters related to the Heavenly Dao.

While continuing to channel spiritual energy into his Revered Master, Lin Xiao thought about a solution.

The problem had already appeared; wallowing in self-pity would only waste time.

"Although I've looted many rare treasures from the Dragon Palace, I'm not the Flame Emperor; I know absolutely nothing about the path of Medicinal Pills."

"Wait, Flame Emperor, Old Yao..."
