Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

After entering the Transformation Pond, Lin Mo sank towards the bottom, gradually reaching the ten thousand meter mark before stopping. Below this point, the chilling energy in the pond became increasingly dense. Although he could descend another thousand meters with his endurance, it would be

overkill there, and the absorption speed and quality would be far inferior to that at the ten thousand meter mark. Sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, Lin Mo began operating the Ice Cloud Netherworld Record, frantically absorbing the chilling energy and spiritual energy from the bottom of the pond. His body seemed to transform into a vortex, drawing in the visible, spiritually infused chilling energy around him at a frenzied pace.

After a while, a layer of transparent frost formed on the surface of Lin Mo’s body, making him appear as though he were a sitting ice sculpture in the pool. The chilling energy, entering his body through his skin and pores, began to be refined by the Ice Cloud Netherworld Record, separating the cold energy from the spiritual energy. After a completed cycle, the spiritual energy converged into the Divine Sea, continuously gathering towards the ’egg core’ within the sea, which slowly

began to solidify. Once it’s completely solidified, it can form a Golden Core.

”At this speed of cultivation, there is absolutely a chance to condense the Golden Core within three months.”

The other chilling energy in the pond, after being refined by the Ice Cloud Netherworld Record, began to become ’gentle,’ continuously gathering at the Dantian, forming a misty scene. The power of the stars was also slowly nourished by this cold energy.

This was the greatest benefit Lin Mo obtained, allowing his True Yuan to contain bone-chilling coldness, giving him a certain advantage when confronting enemies. However, such rapid cultivation exerted considerable pressure on his meridians as well. Although the Ice Cloud Netherworld Record refined much of the chilling energy, when it passed through the meridians, a layer of thin frost formed on the fascia, which severely harmed the

meridians and, over time, decreased the speed of spiritual and cold energy flow. Therefore, after cultivating for three hours each time, Lin Mo would open his eyes and take a ’Primordial Fire Pill.’ This ’Primordial Fire Pill’ was bought from Gu Sa, with each one worth a thousand points, quite a luxury for Lin Mo.

But with the assistance of such an elixir, the meridians wouldn’t be damaged by the chilling energy, greatly enhancing the speed of cultivation.

”No business is without deceit.” After taking the Primordial Fire Pill, Lin Mo felt a warm current infuse into his meridians, soothing them, and slowly melting away the frost on the fascia.

Time flew, and a hundred and seventy thousand points equated to just one hundred and seventy hours, an almost blink-of-an-eye passage for a cultivator.

Feeling a gentle power envelop him, Lin Mo then opened his eyes in the next moment, already appearing above the Transformation Pond, having been ’pushed’ out by the power within.

”The cost of these points is truly immense; it feels like I only cultivated briefly and consumed one hundred and seventy thousand points.” Lin Mo frowned with sword eyebrows, somewhat flustered.

To re-enter the Transformation Pond, he could only wait until the next opening of either the Prison Realm or the Illusion Realm. Standing atop in mid-air, Lin Mo checked within his Dantian, a curved smile of joy at the corners of his lips; the Primordial Fire Pill and the one hundred and seventy thousand points weren’t wasted. Within the endless dark Dantian, eight shining powers of stars hovered, among which one appeared crystal clear like a grain of rice,

emitting strands of chilling energy, slowly filling his entire body. One star power had completely transformed into an ’Ice Grain’-like presence, now not only emitting gentle power to nourish the body but also a trace of chilling energy, visible even to the naked eye.

From now on, even without deliberately absorbing chilling energy for cultivation, both his True Yuan and body would be quenched by the chilling energy. ”I wonder when all eight star powers can be transformed into ’Ice Grains.’” Lin Mo clenched his fists, gathering True Yuan in his hand. Unlike others, his True Yuan resembled a cluster of chilling energy, exuding piercing cold, significantly lowering the surrounding temperature.

Whoosh! Lin Mo transformed into a stream of light, vanishing from the spot, yet did not head towards his residence; instead, he sped towards another mountain peak. Moments later, he arrived atop the mountain, where stood a palace made entirely of metal, perched like a metal monster on the summit.

The main entrance of this metal palace bore only three words: ’Cultivation Technique Pavilion.’

There were quite a few people flying in and out, and Lin Mo flew directly inside. In front of the Cultivation Technique Pavilion stood two young men in white robes, evidently disciples managing this ’Cultivation Technique Pavilion.’

”Seniors, I’d like to choose a cultivation technique for controlling True Yuan.” Lin Mo approached the two men, cupped his hands and spoke.

”Choosing a cultivation technique to control True Yuan is possible, but it requires a fee of ten thousand Spirit Stones.” One of the slightly taller disciples said lazily, not even looking directly at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo furrowed his sword eyebrows, ”I heard that this ’Cultivation Technique Pavilion’ only requires points to exchange for cultivation techniques; moreover, there seem to be no requirements for techniques controlling True Yuan. Even outer disciples of the Seven Sects can freely choose one.”

These were facts Lin Mo had previously inquired from Gu Sa. Techniques for controlling True Yuan are low-level and can be obtained from the ’Cultivation Technique Pavilion’ without needing points or Spirit Stones, otherwise, Lin Mo wouldn’t have used up all his points in the Transformation Pond.

Hearing Lin Mo’s words, the slightly taller disciple raised his head, his long narrow eyes flashing a hint of malice, then spoke, ”Who told you that? We control this place and without Spirit Stones, you can’t select cultivation techniques.”

Attuned to their intentions, Lin Mo realized these two wanted Spirit Stones for themselves and it wasn’t a requirement.

”The ’Cultivation Technique Pavilion’ doesn’t require points or Spirit Stones for low-level techniques. You just want Spirit Stones yourselves, aren’t you afraid I’ll report it to Manager Zhou?”

Lin Mo replied with knitted brows.

”This Cultivation Technique Pavilion is not under Manager Zhou’s jurisdiction, you can report it if you like, but don’t expect an easy life in Mystic Realm Sect afterward.” The voice of the taller young man turned vicious, clearly threatening Lin Mo. Suddenly, the shorter youth laughed and said, ”Junior Apprentice, you’re new to Mystic Realm Sect, and there are many rules you don’t understand. Mystic Realm Sect has its regulations, but every department has its own rules. To stay in Mystic Realm Sect, you must learn to evaluate situations and be a wise man who submits to the times.”

The two were playing good cop-bad cop, having intimidated many novices like Lin Mo. Under simultaneous hard and soft tactics, they usually obediently handed over the Spirit Stones. ”Oh, really? What if I don’t want to give, but still want the True Essence Control Skill?” Lin Mo said, his eyes shooting out two dazzling beams, as he abruptly punched towards the head taller disciple.
