Great Breakthroughs

Lin Tu acted on instinct. Without using energy from his Qi Sea, but still with a body of a Profound realm cultivator, Lin Tu jumped over 15 meters to his right.

His body crashed right into a large snowy bush filled with frosty ice.

In the snowy bushes, the deadly threat didn't lessen from Lin Tu's mind. His body tensed beyond belief. But Lin Tu knew panicking wouldn't serve him any good.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Tu closed his eyes, concentrating on his Spirit Sense. A faint image of the area began to form in his mind. What he sent caused him to let a spiral of curses.

'Shit! Just my luck! A pack of snow tigers just causally pacing in front of me!'

Indeed, several meters ahead of Lin Tu's bush was a wandering back snow-white tiger beast.

These monstrous tigers were far superior to mortal animals. Their height was terrifyingly large and a deathly aura naturally exuded from their bodies. Each of these beasts had the same profound energy intensity ranging from the 4th, 5th, and even the 6th layer!

Lin Tu didn't dare to make any sudden moves. Even outrunning these snow-white tigers wasn't an option.

These beasts' physical strength is far superior to the average human and even special bloodline users. Their speed can even eclipse those with cultivation arts!

The disadvantage they have is that their sixth sense isn't as refined or accurate as humans. Plus, their inherent skills would be on the weaker side compared to cultivation arts or special bloodline users.

Still, Lin Tu wasn't taking any chances. His only options were to either wait for this horde to go far away or get lucky enough for Lin Xiang to come and get him.

Either way, Lin Tu knew he had to endure. Otherwise, it would spell death for him!

...

At this time, a strange scene was occurring around where Lin Xiang was cultivating. A frosty mist had condensed all around him. Anyone attempting to look into the mist would either get their eyes frozen or simply be unable to see anything.

As if the frosty mist had special particles imbued in it, preventing weaker people from peering inside.

The source of the frosty mist came directly from Lin Xiang's body!

A phenomenon had occurred as he was cultivating. The mere remnants of his blood energy leaking from his body stirred the particles of Ice essence within the air. It caused a natural barrier to form around Lin Xiang, condensing every particle of Extreme Ice Law essence in this area.

At this time, Lin Xiang's Qi Sea underwent rapid development. 4th layer Profound energy was already at its limit. Mixed within was Extreme Ice Law essence.

These two essence energies continually mixed together. Their combined forces produced powerfully dense essence marks that stayed fused all around Lin Xiang's Qi Sea.

Extreme power radiated from these essence marks. Whenever Lin Xiang were to attack, these essence marks would cause his energies to erupt with power far beyond his cultivation base!

The essence marks of a Qi Sea would normally be tremendously difficult to formulate. However, because all essence energy pouring into Lin Xiang gets refined by his bloodline energy, both Profound energy, and Extreme Ice Law essence were purified of any friction between each other.

Furthermore, the bloodline energy refined the particles both Profound energy and Extreme Ice Law essence to be numerous times more powerful than other geniuses.

While his Qi Sea was near the border of the 5th layer of Profound energy, Lin Xiang's perception had already taken a huge step forward.

A clear understanding of Absolute Yin formed in his Spiritual Sea. Because of Extreme Ice Law essence continually stimulating his bloodstream, awakening its slumbering powers, Lin Xiang was able to smoothly perceive a small portion of these slumbering powers.

These slumbering powers precisely contained the Great Dao essence of Absolute Yin-Yang!

For a moment, his mind stalled, feeling a tiny force of resistance. However, Lin Xiang didn't pay this resistance any attention. His soul energy burst right through this invisible wall!

'Ka-Cha!'

A resounding shatter caused Lin Xiang's entire being to tremble. His Spiritual Sea perfectly grasped the new understanding of Absolute Yin while a flood of power erupted from his bloodline energy!

The bloodline energy flowed throughout the entirety of Lin Xiang's body, continually strengthening beyond the standards of Profound energy.

Lin Xiang's Spiritual Sea was several times greater than before. It automatically pulled in 5th layer Profound energy and more powerful Extreme Ice essence into his Qi Sea!

But it didn't just stop at the 5th layer. The force of Profound energy rapidly shifted into its 6th layer.

While his cultivation base breakthrough occurred, Lin Xiang paid more attention to the power of his bloodline energy.

The moment his bloodline's energy shattered through an invisible barrier, a streak of the energy fused into Lin Xiang's soul.

A cold, metallic voice reverberated in Lin Xiang's mind. 'Congratulations to host for awakening his Absolute Yin bloodline completely. The Ice Origin Aura Skill can now be used.'

Lin Xiang quickly understood what had happened. His face illuminated with great joy!

Inherent bloodline skills are similar to what cultivation art can provide. A technique that can tremendously help with one's cultivation or combat prowess.

When grasping these cultivation arts, their essence would fuse into one's soul, thus allowing a cultivator to automatically activate them.

The same process had just occurred with the Ice Origin Aura Skill. Lin Xiang could freely activate this skill with just a thought from his soul.

Focusing on his soul, Lin Xiang studied as a stream of information whirled through his mind. 'Ice Origin Aura. Completely amplifies the density, thickness, and complexity of all my energies by at least thirty times! Perfecting my bloodline comprehension can even raise it to hundreds of thousands of times!'

Lin Xiang nearly sighed. Indeed, special bloodline users have a tremendous advantage over all other cultivators.

Of course, because Lin Xiang's bloodline is incomparably special, it was far more overpowering than the average Royal bloodline.

But in all cases, inherit bloodline skills are an advantage that can transform any situation.

At this time, 6th layer Profound energy consolidated into Lin Xiang's Qi Sea. 4 essence marks of extreme power had also manifested. Powerful Extreme Ice Law essence peacefully coexisted in his Qi Sea.

In just a few minutes, he had already skipped over two minor boundary layers!

But this was only natural to a special bloodline user like Lin Xiang. Breaking through realms comes more than easy for him.

The Great Dao essence particles coursing through his blood energy gave him one of the easiest routes for cultivation. All that is required for him is comprehending his bloodline energy so that his combat prowess and cultivation base can increase.

Lin Xiang slowly opened his eyes. The world of frost appeared completely different to him.

Sparks of ice appeared more radiant as if they had a particular kind of essence energy flowing within them. Even the frosty snow had a flowing type of energy coursing.

Taking a breath of the cold air made Lin Xiang feel incomparably refreshed.

'Ahh...the beauty of ice...so cold and tantalizing.' Lin Xiang was genuinely enthralled by the sensation of Ice.

There was a beauty to it he couldn't quite put his finger on. It draws to his soul that's unique to only Lin Xiang.

Taking his mind off the environment, Lin Xiang stretched his arms. Joints in his arms crackled with tremendous power!

Only two layers increased in his cultivation and Lin Xiang felt thousands of times stronger than before. His mind similarly felt calmer and sharper than before.

A small smile curled Lin Xiang's lips. 'One step at a time...now then...'

His Soul Sense quickly expanded out. In an instant, his detection range reached over hundreds of meters!

Numerous life auras flowed into Lin Xiang's Spiritual Sea. All who couldn't threaten Lin Xiang in the slightest, even if that aura had a higher profound energy intensity than his cultivation base.

Furthering his Soul Sense, Lin Xiang soon detected a familiar life aura. His eyes were briefly closed.

The image of a large bush soon emerged in his mind. Ling Xiang didn't need to peer into the bush to know who was hiding in it.

By Lin Tu was a pack of snow-white tigers at powerful profound energy layers. Yet, Lin Xiang didn't fear a single one of them. 'Hmm...might as well take a little walk and save this kid. Curious to see just how much base was enhanced.'

With his mind made up, Lin Xiang set his sights on Lin Tu's aura.

A flash of icy essence shrouded his legs. The ground slightly shook and snow burst into the air as Lin Xiang took off with tremendous speed!

His figure turned into a faint trail of icy blue light. He traversed hundreds of meters in merely three seconds.

When Lin Xiang stopped, he was already in front of Lin Tu's bush.

At this time, within the snowy bush, Lin Tu suddenly jerked his head up. A powerful aura had appeared completely out of nowhere! As if whoever rushed on the same had teleported.

Looking through his Spirit Sense, Lin Tu was shocked to see that this sudden aura was Lin Xiang. 'Eh-eh? Did he sneak here? Or...is he really that fast? And-and his aura...?!' His questions would go unanswered.

The moment Lin Xiang appeared, the pack of snowy white tigers promptly snapped their ferocious gaze over.

Every beast brimmed with insidious killing intent. Hunger was evident in their gazes. A fresh new prey had arrived before them!
