Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 166
Chapter 166: Mystic Yin Ice Soul Skill
Wei Huo could not move now. Otherwise, the blue light that carried the Rule Power would freeze his soul instantly.
The blue light was like a wooden wall and a bomb in the ruins of the Naga. It was like a game console in a heritage cave, just like the gem in the underwater Dragon Palace cave. It carried Rule Power. An existence below the Mythical stage could not destroy it no matter what. Similarly, one could not resist these attacks.
The ice crystal seemed to be targeting Wei Huo. The blue light that carried the Rule Power kept spreading. It would freeze Wei Huo instantly when he moved.
Many people had played games like ‘We’re All Wooden People’ when they were young. This game not only tested one’s reaction speed and observation skills, but it also tested one’s ability to be honest as a child. When one was young, one could do nothing about children who just played unfairly if they insisted that they had not moved.
However, if one dared to move, one would never be able to move again!
Although Wei Huo was not frozen, he was trapped there. He could neither advance nor retreat.
Even though he could not move, this did not stop him from opening the inventory.
If he released one or two creatures to attract attention, he might have a chance to complete the game and obtain the inheritance!
In his Divine Pet Space were Wei Sha, the rhinoceros, the purple cat, and the Gold-Eater. He could release them instantly without making any movements. As long as one of them was sacrificed, he could attract attention!
Wei Huo checked System Number Two’s condition. System Number Two’s soul was intact, but it was frozen. Wei Huo also observed the blue light seeping into System Number Two’s soul and strengthening it.
Although the blue light could freeze souls, it could also strengthen them!
Wei Huo thought about it and decided to let Wei Sha out. Although Wei Sha’s combat power was strong, she was still at the Normal level. This was a rare opportunity for her to break through to the Rare rank!
With a thought, Wei Huo let Wei Sha out. The moment Wei Sha appeared, she froze and her body entered another state.
‘Low temperature and stillness freeze the soul. The soul’s lifespan will not decrease. The soul will become stronger after being unfrozen. Note: This is useless against beings above the Mythical stage. Stagnation Time: 3 years, 56 days.’
At that moment, the Rule Power disappeared. Then, the ice crystal started speaking. “We are all…”
Before it could finish this sentence, Wei Huo took a step forward and slapped the ice crystal. However, he only heard a crack as the ice crystal shattered.
At that moment, Wei Huo let out a sigh of relief. The game ‘We’re All Wooden People’ had finally ended. He had not expected it to involve so many dangers. However, after discovering the way to get through, it was easy to overcome them.
After the ice crystal shattered, an ancient scroll appeared. The words ‘Mystic Yin Ice Soul Skill’ were on it.
Wei Huo did not study it directly. Instead, he imitated a human and blocked the player’s information. Then, he was able to open the ancient scroll.
This ancient scroll was not bad. Just like many Xianxia novels, it looked like a very old formulation on the surface, but it had already segmented the sentences, added punctuation marks, and used Simplified Chinese. It was guaranteed that a modern person could understand it.
After all, this kind of cultivation technique was meant for a 17-year-old or 18-year-old male protagonist. These young men had yet to study the ancient Chinese language in Country Z. They could not understand the language or any sentences without punctuation marks, let alone some complicated words.
They would not understand a cultivation technique that had been passed down for thousands of years under the circumstances. One would have to translate it for them.
This was especially true for modern people who had transmigrated to the world of martial arts. If they accidentally found the Nine-Sun Divine Skill under a cliff, wouldn’t it be awkward if they didn’t understand it because their literary skills were not solid?
Wei Huo studied the Mystic Yin Ice Soul Skill for a while and realized that it was not simple. It could freeze one’s soul if one practiced it to a high level and it was compatible with Wei Huo’s Nirvana Domain.
Wei Huo had the Dragon Flame Control Skill, but this skill might be better for a passionate person. That way, one could unleash the power of the skill.
However, Wei Huo was a calm person. It was not easy for him to get angry or hot-blooded. That was why this cultivation technique was more suitable for him. After all, his heart had already turned cold.
Wei Huo left after obtaining this cultivation technique. He put Wei Sha and System Number Two away. Their souls would not wake up anytime soon after being frozen. However, once they woke up, their strength would definitely improve!
The Mystic Yin Ice Soul Skill was very powerful. At its peak, it could freeze one’s soul. That way, even if a creature’s soul did not have a long lifespan, they could use this skill to freeze it, thus surviving for countless years in the future.
Wei Huo walked out of the hall and saw the old monk practicing his fist move. This time, the old monk’s fist move was weird. His hands were spinning like a windmill. This was the Back-Through Fist. It could increase the power of his fist or palm with centrifugal force.
There was a common name for this fist technique among people. It was called the Tortoise Fist or Grand Windmill Fist. The two fists kept spinning and attacking the enemy crazily. As the fists were endless, the enemy could not resist them.
Wei Huo could not help but ask, “Master, how many fist techniques do you know?”
There was one more thing he did not ask. Why did you choose to practice other sects’ fist techniques instead of the Shaolin Monastery’s techniques?
The old monk smiled when he saw Wei Huo. “This was taught to me by an old Daoist who passed by this place a long time ago. He said that this technique can cure blood clots and improve blood circulation.”
Wei Huo was speechless. Are you the protagonist? Everyone seems to want to teach you a fist technique.
Wei Huo practiced with the old monk for a while. A new skill called Back-Through Fist (Incomplete) appeared on his Skill Menu.
Wei Huo’s intuition told him that if he kept learning fist moves from the old monk, he might learn moves that the Shaolin Monastery did not know.
When he saw Wei Huo come out of the hall, the old monk said, “This temple actually contains an ominous item. Legend has it that a young woodcutter went up the mountain to cut wood but accidentally entered a cave under the temple. He only thought that it had been a while, but by the time he left this place and returned to the foot of the mountain, decades had passed. His companions were all dead.”
Wei Huo was speechless.
A monk could not make up stories. This story was clearly about a lumberjack watching two children play chess. A few decades had passed by the time the game had ended.
The old monk said, “Monks never lie. It’s said that decades ago, a person in an ancient costume walked out of this temple. He was saying a lot of words, but no one could understand what he was saying. He was taken away by the relevant department. The experts said that this person had entered a space-time tunnel and transmigrated from ancient times to modern times.”
Wei Huo pursed his lips. “Master, I think you should really go down the mountain. Actually, 500 years have passed.”
The old monk smiled. “Monks never lie. However, you shouldn’t lie to a monk either. If 500 years had passed, the
