Chapter 312 -310 Soul Suppressing Book

Cold Soul Valley, where the bitter cold air blew out from the valley, making people outside tremble without feeling cold.

“Go.”

An elder at the Golden Core Early Stage raised his palm and opened the prohibition of the forbidden land, frowning and saying, “Remember, the greatest opportunity in Cold Soul Valley is the Ice Soul Divine Stone, but you must not be greedy. Your cultivation is too low, do not venture too deep into the forbidden land. Search around the Ling Han Mountain Range for the Ice Soul Divine Stone. If you go too deep, no one will be able to save you!”

“Yes, please rest assured, Uncle Master!”

The disciples nodded in unison and then braced against the cold wind to enter the Cold Soul Valley.

Ning Daoran also blended in with the crowd, extremely low-key, showing a pained expression that was hard to bear, releasing a tenth of the True Yang Furnace Technique’s aura to protect himself.

…

Soon after, the figures of the disciples disappeared in the cold wind and snowflakes, while the Golden Core elder looked indifferent. Even though he knew that not all of these people would come back, he was unphased, having seen too much already—Outer Disciples were essentially consumables for the Sect!

And not only the Outer Disciples, most of the Inner Sect Disciples also enter Cold Soul Valley once every few years, they can explore a greater range and naturally bring back more Ice Soul Divine Stones.

As for the Ice Soul Divine Stones, they were naturally for the Palace Master, Vice Palace Master, and the elders and True Disciples; these people would never set foot in Cold Soul Valley. Staying in such a cold place would greatly deplete the cultivation of the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique.

This is probably also why even Nascent Souls like Feng Yinghai are reluctant to step into Cold Soul Valley.

Inside the valley, the cold wind howled.

A group of Outer Disciples marched forward against the wind, and soon some couldn’t keep up and started to activate the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique with heavy shouts, transforming themselves into furnaces to resist the cold wind.

Not long after, almost all the disciples had already deployed the Furnace Divine Technique, and their figures in the gray and dim cold wind turned into flickering flames, their faces showing various expressions of pain.

“I must persist… My mother is waiting, waiting for me to become an Immortal and bring glory to my ancestors…”

“I will never let others look down on the Zhou Family again, this Cold Soul Valley is my only chance…”

“Master said, it doesn’t matter if I can get the Ice Soul Divine Stone, I mustn’t risk my life… Maybe I could just hide near the valley entrance for half a day, then return unharmed?”

The disciples had different expressions and thoughts, but none of them noticed that in the dimness, a figure had already strayed from the group.

…

Ning Daoran was too lazy to proceed with the crowd; he planned to be courageous and diligent, because the disciple who obtains the most Ice Soul Divine Stones this time had a chance to enter the third layer of the Book Collection Pavilion!

There were only three layers in the Book Collection Pavilion of the Fierce Sun Dao Palace, and on normal days, only the Palace Master and True Disciples could enter the third layer. This time, probably due to a shortage of Ice Soul Divine Stones within the palace, they even made the third layer of the Book Collection Pavilion into a reward.

The Book Collection Pavilion of a top-tier Immortal Sect was naturally incomparable to the Chaotic Sect. What if there was a Magic suitable for him?

So, he grinned and disappeared into the night of the valley.

Ling Han Mountain Range.

Ning Daoran released his Golden Core Divine Sense and quickly found some treasures within the mountain—stones with extremely rich Ice Attribute Spiritual Energy, scattered here and there, exactly the so-called Ice Soul Divine Stones. In addition, there were also traces of Demon Beasts in the mountains.

It was an Ice Ape that had just smelled the scent of a human and ran down from the mountain. Although these Ice Apes were only as tall as a person, they were incredibly strong with dense Demon Qi, and one punch was more than enough to kill a cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm.

“Ooo ooo~~~”

Not far away, an Ice Ape, pounding its chest, charged over, covered in Evil Qi and opened its huge mouth, throwing a ferocious punch at Ning Daoran’s face, with extreme speed.

A Second-stage Early-stage Demon Beast, another disciple might have died facing it!

But unfortunately, it met Ning Daoran.

Ning Daoran’s punch was so fast it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. With a “Peng” sound, the entire arm of the Ice Ape turned into a blood rain in the cold wind, quickly freezing into ice shards. It was shocked and just about to turn around when a golden Flying Sword pierced through the back of its head, instantly killing it!

Ning Daoran didn’t bother to look, he picked up a piece of Ice Soul Divine Stone about the size of a fingernail cap, small, but still placed it in a Storage Bag he had prepared in advance.

After that, he continued forward in the Ling Han Mountain Range, collecting Ice Soul Divine Stones and also killing every Demon Beast that appeared.

Within just two hours, Ning Daoran had already killed dozens of Second Order Demon Beasts, the strongest even reaching the Second Rank Middle Stage!

This kind of area, frequented by Demon Beasts with a combat ability comparable to that of a human Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, yet making Qi Refinement Later Stage Disciples search for Ice Soul Divine Stones, the decision-makers of the Fierce Sun Dao Palace were indeed ruthless, completely disregarding the lives of Outer Sect Disciples.

Not long after, when Ning Daoran climbed a hill, he saw several “statues” standing ahead.

He frowned; those were not statues but the frozen corpses of several Outer Disciples. The Ling Han Mountain Range was too chillingly cold; these disciples, with shallow mana and low cultivation, were like stoves burnt out of charcoal; once the fire died, they froze to death deep in the Ling Han Mountain Range.

But ahead, there were still a few faint lights, some disciples who went deeper into Cold Soul Valley in search of more Ice Soul Divine Stones.

Ning Daoran felt somewhat helpless; most of these people would not return.

Those who do not know their own limits have only one path left: death.

Indeed, it wasn’t long before roars of Demon Beasts came from the distance and then, in Ning Daoran’s sight, those dozen or more disciples flickered out like fireflies in the cold wind, one after another, until none returned.

“`

…

Half an hour later, Ning Daoran felt he had obtained enough Ice Soul Divine Stones and returned to the entrance of the valley to wait.

Several hours later, the training period ended.

Disciples continuously returned, but they were all in bad shape; some had their limbs frozen off, and others suffered from severe frostbite all over. Each one looked exhausted and no longer carried their initial spirit.

Eventually, after the Golden Core Elder counted, only a little over sixty people returned.

Almost half of them had permanently remained in the Cold Soul Valley, and their bodies could not even be recovered. These individuals were most likely turned into nourishment for the demon beasts in the Forbidden Land.

“So many have been lost…”

The Elder frowned and asked, “Has everyone come out?”

“They have.”

“Good, bring out your Ice Soul Divine Stones and let your uncle master have a look!”

“Yes, uncle master!”

A group of disciples took out their spoils, varying in quantity, some brought out more than ten Ice Soul Divine Stones of varying sizes, while others only had a small piece the size of a fingernail, and some unfortunate disciples couldn’t produce a single stone.

The moment Ning Daoran shook his Storage Bag, the eyes of the Golden Core Early Stage Elder lit up.

There were no less than thirty pieces amounting to the size of two fists combined!

“Is your name Ning Cheng?”

The Golden Core Elder scanned his Identity jade token with his Divine Sense, and seeing that he was a disciple assigned to guard the Medicine Garden, he couldn’t help but become suspicious, “How did you obtain so many Ice Soul Divine Stones?”

Ning Daoran said, “Reporting to uncle master, I originally had none. Later, I accidentally entered the den of a demon beast. Probably because the brothers had ventured into the Ling Han Mountain Range, the beasts in the den had all left, so I found many Ice Soul Divine Stones. I was scared, so I hid at the exit for a long time until the Prohibition was lifted…”

“You… did very well!”

The Golden Core Elder looked at him, forcibly suppressing the words “You are just damn lucky” in his heart, and said, “Ning Cheng, you have obtained the most Ice Soul Divine Stones in this training session. Here is a Token for the Third Layer of the Book Collection Pavilion. You may enter the Third Layer once with this Token. But don’t be greedy; many Cultivation Techniques inside conflict with the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique, so do not practice them recklessly.”

“Yes, thank you, uncle master!”

…

Late at night, the Fierce Sun Dao Palace’s Book Collection Pavilion.

Ning Daoran held the Token, led by an Inner Sect Disciple guarding the Pavilion, to the Third Layer.

“Are you Ning Cheng?”

The guardian of the Third Layer, an old cultivator with white hair and at the Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivation, glanced at Ning Daoran’s Divine Soul which was disguised beyond recognition, even unable to see through the quenching of the flesh achieved by the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture and the Transformation technique, said, “I heard you accidentally stumbled upon a demon beast nest and obtained many Ice Soul Divine Stones out of sheer luck. Truly splendid luck. Leave the Token, and go ahead, you can study here for half an hour.”

“Thank you, uncle master!”

Ning Daoran placed down the Token, cursing stinginess inwardly.

That he could only study for half an hour was ridiculous; an ordinary Qi Refinement Realm disciple would be able to achieve nothing, as a Qi Refinement Realm’s memory was far inferior to that of a Golden Core Stage; moreover, many profound Cultivation Techniques were difficult to comprehend, and not something that memorization could help retain. An ordinary disciple likely leaves empty-handed, just like a grade-schooler wandering through a top-tier astronomy library.

However, this half-hour was enough for Ning Daoran!

He quickly began to flip through all kinds of registers, handbooks, and secret manuals; most of them were various interpretations, and the genuine Cultivation Techniques and secret manuals were not too plentiful.

Quickly, Ning Daoran found a Cultivation Technique he could use.

It was an upgraded version of the Sound Absorption Technique, called…

Great Absorption Skill!

This technique had a better sound absorption effect; once it was activated, it could mute all sounds within dozens of yards, and its grade was a Dark Rank top, much stronger than the Yellow Rank Sound Absorption Technique!

Afterward, Ning Daoran swiftly browsed through and managed to find another one he could include.

Great Void Expansion Technique!

By its name, this technique was powerful, an enhanced version of the Invisibility Technique, and astonishingly it was Earth-grade Lower. When cultivated to perfection, one could completely hide their form in the void, becoming invisible. This technique was extremely formidable, sadly very difficult to cultivate. Probably many elders of the Fierce Sun Dao Palace had attempted it, deemed it too trivial, and thus stored it high on the shelves.

Ning Daoran discreetly recorded it in his collection of Cultivation Techniques.

Then he continued searching and collected quite a few, yet most were trivial and not worth cultivating.

Finally, just as the half-hour was almost up, Ning Daoran’s attention was captured by a rather worn-out handbook. The handbook was very old, about a finger’s thickness, and the cover awkwardly held three crooked characters—

Soul Suppressing Book.
