“In this way, as long as we hold back and eliminate the demon beasts rushing out from the Great Moon Mountain bit by bit, the Beast Tide will end.”
Following Taoist Xiuyu’s explanation, Su Yu finally understood. The Beast Tide didn’t just appear like a single wave, nor did it retreat before launching another attack.
Instead, it was more like a sea wave: the demon beasts from different areas of the Great Moon Mountain gathered and charged out wave after wave in an irregular and unpredictable manner.
It only ended when there were no more demon beasts left to form a Beast Tide.
This situation was not only a grudge held by the Demon Clan against humans for encroaching on their territories, but also a method used by the Great Moon Mountain to control their overpopulated demon beast population after certain periods.
Gathering the excess demon beasts and driving them to form Beast Tides could help counter the Human Cultivators, even while using them to help clean up the excessive demon beast population.
The ultimate goal was to preserve the limited resources in the Great Moon Mountain for the nurturing of younger, more talented demon beasts and members of the Demon Clan.
This is the real cause of the Beast Tide.
Having said all this, Taoist Xiuyu left again after leaving behind sixty sets of second-order medium-grade Talisman materials and some Alchemy materials. He was in a hurry to rush to another location to collect resources, and had little spare time.
Now that Su Yu knew that the issues caused by the Beast Tide in Dåyue Market weren’t as ‘serious’ as thought, he withdrew his attention and focus.
His most important task at present was to cultivate Heavenly Frost Descends, and to create his Ice Fire Technique.
On the sixth day after Taoist Xiuyu departed.
Su Yu’s mana from Heavenly Frost Descends broke through to the Sixth Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm, advancing at an astonishing speed.
Five days later, Heavenly Frost Descends advanced another level, reaching the Seventh Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm.
At this time, Su Yu returned to the Pill Mountain because Su Peng, Su He, Su Zhen, and Su Dajun had come out of their retreats. Su Peng and Su He had successfully broke through, but Su Zhen and Su Dajun both failed in their breakthroughs.
Su Zhen was alright, he hadn’t taken the Underworld Pill and though he sustained heavy injuries, he could still pull through. But Su Dajun had aged significantly in a short period of time.
Due to his physical over-exertion, he might only have a few years left to live.
Su Yu produced two high-grade first-order Lifespan Extension Pills, helping Su Dajun recover, extending his lifespan by possibly another decade.
Such occurrences were something Su Yu had already mentally prepared for, and the fact that two among them had succeeded was something to be grateful for.
After all, this was the Foundation Establishment Realm, having a fifty percent success rate was already considered good.
Overall, the strength of the Su Family had indeed increased. Every year saw an increase in the number of infants being born, and quite a number of them had Spiritual Roots. The Su Family was generally prosperous and thriving.
Time flew, and three months quickly passed.
In the meantime, the Yunjian Sect issued a call to arms led by the First Elder. For the first wave of reinforcements, he selected eighty percent of the personnel from the Jiang and Huang Families, and the remaining twenty percent from the Yu Family and the Su Family, assembling a team of a hundred Cultivators for the support mission.
The second round was led by the Second Elder of the Yunjian Sect, who had retreated to recover from his injuries. Initially, he wanted to send the entire Su Family to face the Beast Tide of Dåyue Market.
However, considering his own condition and his relationship with Taoist Shuhai, the Second Elder felt an inexplicable sense of fear and hesitancy.
In the end, not a single member of the Su Family was selected. For the second round of reinforcements, an equal number of personnel were selected from the various power factions of the Yunjian Sect region. The second batch of one hundred cultivators then set forth on their mission in the second month.
The Su Family, as always, remained unaffected and unchanged.
At the foot of Pill Mountain.
Inside the Ice and Fire Cave mansion on Sun and Moon Island.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
Su Yu rotated the cultivation technique of Heavenly Frost Descends. A rich and potent ice-related power gathered, like a raging whirlpool that crazily poured into his body, and was subsequently refined by the technique into Mana and funneled into his Dantian.
Heavenly Frost Descends was a unique ice-related technique, its power was subtle and refined, emphasizing a natural infiltration process like frost descending. The power permeates every corner, eventually encasing everything in ice.
While cultivating Heavenly Frost Descends, Su Yu was also cultivating its associated ice-related spells.
Many of them were terrible techniques that would silently kill their victims.
“Buzz!”
At this moment, the mana of Heavenly Frost Descends in Su Yu’s Dantian gathered forming an frosty structure, as it constantly concentrated and refined itself with the wave of incoming mana. At a certain point, a mysterious power suddenly descended. The pressure in his Dantian seemed to change all at once.
Originally loose and spread out, the frost mana abruptly collapsed and became more condensed, forming droplets of frost mana.
After a few transformations, it finally morphed into a water droplet-like realm-seed of frost mana.
The realm-seed of Heavenly Frost Descends was finally cast.
Su Yu’s aura subtly changed. His frost mana cultivation had reached the First Layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
“Boom!”
At this moment, the abundant ice-related power within the cave mansion surged and gathered, constantly being absorbed and refined by Su Yu. This power formed a new realm-seed of frost mana, flowing into the weak and barely-formed frost mana realm-seed in his Dantian, and continuously enhanced it.
Perhaps it was this sea-like absorption that finally caused a fluctuation in the original balance of ice and fire powers within the cave mansion.
The balance was instantly broken.
“Boom!”
Su Yu, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the cave mansion where the ice and fire attributes intersected, was overwhelmed by the fire attribute powers in the next moment.
Both the ice and fire attribute powers crazily surged into his body.
“Puff!”
In an instant, Su Yu felt the terrible consequences of the clash between the ice and fire powers. In just a moment, he couldn’t withstand collision and he started spitting blood.
However, his blood splattered onto the Ice-Fire Pearl suspended in front of him.
The moment Su Yu blacked out and fainted, the Ice-Fire Pearl buzzed and radiated a humming sound.
Within the next moment, it transformed into a streak of white and purple light that surged into Su Yu’s Dantian.
The rampaging mixed ice and fire powers originally present in Su Yu’s Dantian were gradually calmed down, becoming docile shortly after the arrival of the Ice-Fire Pearl. Little by little, the chaotic powers were tamed and absorbed by the Ice-Fire Pearl until they completely disappeared.
The source of the chaos was effortlessly resolved by the Ice-Fire Pearl.
At the same time.
A combined ice and fire power emerged from the Ice-Fire Pearl. Under the unconscious state of Su Yu, the techniques of Heavenly Frost Descends and The Scripture of Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana were activated at the same time, completing the Grand Circulation.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
As the techniques circulated, two vortexes once again formed with Su Yu in the center.
Su Yu’s body appeared frozen one moment and inflamed the next. His aura fluctuated between strong and weak, and his skin occasionally cracked open revealing bloody crevices, resembling a porcelain doll. But his life vitality was incredibly robust.
Harmful signs disappeared almost as quickly as they appeared.
His unconscious state lasted until after six hours had passed before he gradually regained consciousness..
