The place where gods lived was extremely mysterious.
Since this creature had come from the place where gods lived, its strength was naturally extraordinary.
"How did it get here?" asked Fang Chen.
The palace master shook his head, as if he didn't know much about it.
"Fang Chen, after you entered the God Burying Sword Prison, I gathered a dozen Profound Kings who had experienced the chaos of the darkness to fight that creature," said the palace master.
Fang Chen listened quietly, his heart pounding.
"In the end, all of them died, and that creature also suffered a great price. It can't escape the suppression of the God Burying Sword Prison for now," continued the palace master.
Fang Chen let out a sigh of relief.
"What do you mean, palace master?" asked Fang Chen.
"That creature has always been the greatest threat to the Sword Burial State. I've been thinking about getting rid of it day and night, but its strength is too heaven-defying," said the palace master.
The Palace Master said, "My original plan was to nurture batches of experts and use them to exhaust the life of the extraterrestrial lifeform."
"However, your appearance has disrupted my plans. It has also allowed me to see hope," said the Palace Master.
Fang Chen was startled and looked at the palace master in confusion.
"It's a pleasant surprise that you were able to gain Emperor Zangjian's approval. Right now, you're still weak and haven't reached the Profound King Realm. Once you reach the Profound King Realm, your strength will definitely soar. You'll be the most promising cultivator to kill that creature," said the palace master.
Fang Chen nodded and didn't say anything.
The creature wanted to destroy the Sword Burial State.
If he was strong enough, Fang Chen would definitely stop it.
After all, the Sword Burial State was formed by his master's body. It couldn't be desecrated.
"Don't worry, palace master. As long as I'm strong enough, I'll definitely do my best to kill that creature," said Fang Chen.
Hearing this, the Palace Master laughed in relief.
"Fang Chen, you're the only martial artist in the last ten thousand years to pass the 12th Heaven Tribulation. You're only at Lv 9 True Martial Realm, yet you're able to kill a Mysterious King Realm expert. Furthermore, you've become the disciple of Zang Jian Emperor. You'll definitely shine in the future."
"Palace Master, may I ask how long it will take for that creature to recover from its injuries?" This was the question Fang Chen was most concerned about.
"The self-destruction of more than a dozen Mystic King Realm commanders is extremely powerful. That extraterrestrial being will need at least five years to recover," said the palace master.
Fang Chen thought for a moment, then nodded heavily.
In Fang Chen's opinion, five years was not a short time.
He was confident that he could complete the eighteenth level of the God Burying Sword Prison within five years and become his master's official disciple.
By then, the entire God Burying Sword Prison would be under his control.
Most importantly, the eight guardians would be able to leave the God Burying Sword Prison.
With eight peak Mystic King Realm experts and Qin Yang, they should have a high chance of dealing with that extraterrestrial being.
However, it was still too early to say such things.
"Many thanks," said the palace master solemnly.
To be able to make the Palace Master express his gratitude, it was enough to show how much hope he had for Fang Chen.
After chatting with the palace master for a while, Fang Chen suddenly thought of a problem.
"Palace Master, does the Sword Burying Immortal Palace have any secret soul cultivation techniques?" asked Fang Chen.
Now that his soul had reached the late green level, the God Drawing Art was no longer able to support his attacks.
Therefore, he needed to find a more powerful soul cultivation method.
"Secret soul cultivation techniques?" The palace master thought for a moment and then said, "Fang Chen, there are indeed soul cultivation techniques in the Sword Burying Immortal Palace, but …"
"But what?"
"There's a Soul Tower in the Sword Burial Immortal Palace. There are two secret soul cultivation techniques hidden in the Soul Tower. For countless years, no one has been able to find these two secret soul cultivation techniques." The Palace Master slowly said.
"They're hidden within the soul tower?" Fang Chen was a bit puzzled.
The palace master nodded and gave Fang Chen a simple explanation of the soul tower.
"I want to give it a try." Fang Chen was eager to give it a try.
"Alright, I'll take you there." The palace master stood up and led Fang Chen out of the pavilion.
A moment later, the two of them arrived at a place shrouded in mist.
Only when they got closer did they discover that there was a tall tower surrounded by dense soul energy.
"This is the soul tower?" asked Fang Chen.
"The soul tower is an independent space. Every martial artist that enters the soul tower will find themselves in a different environment. As for whether or not you can obtain a soul cultivation technique, that will depend on your luck."
Fang Chen nodded and stepped into the Ancient Soul Pagoda.
Crash!
After entering the soul tower, Fang Chen discovered that he was in a vast expanse of whiteness. Snow was falling from the sky, and the ground was covered in ice blocks that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"A world of ice and snow!"
Fang Chen looked around in astonishment.
Back in the Ancient Sword Continent, Fang Chen had comprehended the concept of ice.
He hadn't expected to encounter a world of ice and snow this time.
Crash!
He released the concept of ice and wrapped it around his body.
It instantly blocked the icy aura of this world of ice and snow.
After that, Fang Chen quickly walked through the world of ice and snow, carefully searching for a soul cultivation technique.
"There are two secret techniques in this soul tower. I wonder where they are hidden," muttered Fang Chen to himself.
The vast world of ice and snow was covered in white. Apart from ice and snow, there was nothing else.
Even the air was filled with the aura of ice and snow.
After walking continuously for six hours, Fang Chen stopped.
"The aura of ice and snow is a bit different."
Fang Chen muttered. With the True Meaning of Spacetime, he was very sensitive to space.
He discovered that the air was different.
Just like that, Fang Chen quietly stood on the ground.
The heavy snow in the sky constantly fell on his body.
Not long after, he was covered in snow and merged into the world of ice and snow.
At this time, the aura of the concept of ice in Fang Chen's mind was rapidly increasing.
The second minor realm of the concept of ice, the third minor realm.
The concept of ice was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it had reached perfection.
At this time, Fang Chen's comprehension of the world of ice and snow had become even deeper.
Boom!
At a certain moment, Fang Chen's mind exploded.
Following that, information drilled into his mind.
"Secret Ice Sword."
When he sensed this information, Fang Chen's face lit up with joy.
This Secret Ice Sword was clearly one of the soul cultivation techniques.
"I got it!"
After obtaining the Secret Ice Sword, Fang Chen was very excited.
Although he had only scanned it, he already knew that this Secret Ice Sword was countless times stronger than the God Attraction Art.
"As expected of something from the Sword Burial Immortal Palace." Fang Chen couldn't help but praise.
"I wonder what the other secret technique is." Fang Chen said.
Fang Chen wasn't greedy. After obtaining a secret technique, he chose to leave.
In less than half a day, Fang Chen came out of the Ancient Soul Pagoda.
"So fast!" Seeing this, the Palace Master couldn't help but exclaim.
After bidding farewell to the Palace Master, Fang Chen turned and left.
In a certain courtyard, there was a Dao-level formation protecting it.
Fang Chen was sitting cross-legged, comprehending the Secret Ice Sword.
Surrounded by the concept of ice, the temperature of the courtyard was extremely low.
"This Secret Ice Sword can temporarily freeze a cultivator's soul." Fang Chen muttered to himself.
According to the introduction of the Secret Ice Sword, once this secret technique was used, the soul power would condense into an ice sword and stab at the enemy.
Of course, it also depended on who the opponent was.
If the opponent was a third level Profound King Realm cultivator, the Secret Ice Sword would be ineffective.
Fang Chen's soul cultivation was only at the late fourth level. Even if he used the Secret Ice Sword, he could at most fight a first level Profound King Realm cultivator.
"It would be great if my soul cultivation could reach the early fifth level." Fang Chen thought to himself.
At the fifth level, the soul would reach the early blue level. At that time, with the Secret Ice Sword, it would be easy to kill a third level Profound King Realm cultivator.
If combined with the True Meaning of Space and Time and the Third Revolution Radiance Sword Art, it wouldn't be impossible to kill a fourth level Profound King Realm cultivator.
"I should think of a way to raise the concept of ice to the True Meaning of Ice first." Fang Chen said.
Using the Secret Ice Sword required the concept of ice.
Once the concept of ice was raised to the True Meaning of Ice, its power would definitely increase again.
