Chapter 1: Frosty Cold Realm
The Bald Giant, being quite straightforward, saw that neither side was willing to yield. He tossed out dozens of Diamond Spirit Coins and then directly sat down in the center of the Meditation Cushion. With this, the Old Daoist and the Qin Emperor also stopped their contention, each throwing down several Diamond Spirit Coins to secure their positions. The Qin Young Master nodded in goodwill towards the Youth from the Old Daoist's side.
The Youth politely nodded in return but then turned his gaze towards Lian Yun's side. The boy appeared somewhat easygoing, while the girl seemed curious.
Sensing something, Lian Yun looked up and noticed that the Youth exuded a genuine aura of transcendence in cultivation, which made her feel a sense of affinity. She smiled lightly.
Then she closed her eyes and immersed herself in meditation.
Meanwhile, the seating arrangement in the venue had almost completely solidified. Only a few bitter rivals continued to 'attack' each other, but under the watchful eyes of those around them, they settled down.
The entire venue fell silent, as if one could hear a pin drop.
It seemed like no time had passed at all, yet it felt like an eternity. Suddenly, within the four screens, a sound of qin music echoed.
Deng~~~~
A clear and resonant note rang out, and Lian Yun instantly felt the ground shift beneath her, finding herself in a frosty world.
"This is your sister's Frosty Cold Realm. Do not overthink it; focus on your understanding."
After this voice faded, there was a brief pause before signs of collapse began to appear in the frosty world before Lian Yun. However, upon hearing Azure Drift's reminder, Lian Yun did not dwell on it and began to feel deeply.
Just as the frosty world was about to completely shatter, another note from the qin sounded, restoring the world that was on the brink of destruction.
No, in Lian Yun's perception, it felt as though a new frosty world was being born within the original one.
Like withered wood meeting spring again, like ashes rekindling into flames.
At the same time, Lian Yun felt an incredibly vigorous and pure Mental Power surge into her mind, washing over her body and cleansing every corner within.
This Mental Power was so immense that it felt as if it would burst forth from her body at any moment.
Without time to think further, Lian Yun immediately split her consciousness in two: one part dove into the Yin-Yang Stage, frantically striking at the Soul Material Gravel. The other flowed towards her waist where Wu Tai was located, continuously merging with numerous Soul Swords.
One was within the body, and the other was outside; two completely independent thoughts were operating simultaneously. This could no longer be described as multitasking, but rather as a form of divided attention.
Divided attention could be considered an extremely valuable ability. For instance, it allowed one to cultivate while simultaneously contemplating other matters. It also enabled the understanding of two completely different techniques at the same time.
Previously, Lian Yun had never attempted this. However, now he was unsure whether it was due to his own strong Mental Power or the immense Mental Power he had acquired that highlighted his ability. In any case, he subconsciously utilized divided attention without feeling any discomfort, almost as if he were unaware of it.
As for multitasking, it involved his inner consciousness shaping gravel into stones, then stones into larger stones, and larger stones into iron sheets, which were then forged into sword blanks. This process occurred simultaneously, like an assembly line, rapidly producing one Soul Sword Core after another.
Meanwhile, he was also refining the sword blanks, channeling them into Wu Tai through his palms.
Inside his body, Lian Yun was simultaneously enhancing hundreds of Sword Intents, providing them with Mental Power and allowing them to collide and refine each other.
Outside, Lian Yun aimed to use his spirit to refine all the newly acquired Soul Sword Cores. However, unexpectedly, when his Mental Power struck the three hundred ordinary sword blanks, they shattered almost instantly as if they were made of clay. Even the thirty high-quality ones only managed to hold up for a moment longer.
Strangely enough, the Ten Soul Swords that Lian Yun had forged showed no signs of damage. Not only that, but they seemed to absorb Mental Power as if they were self-forging, becoming increasingly refined on their own.
Additionally, as Lian Yun sent out the Soul Swords from within him, they were quickly accepted by Wu Tai, increasing in number one by one.
Moreover, Lian Yun allocated a portion of his Mental Power to Wutai Sword Heart, hoping that the Taiwu Sword's soul could absorb some of it and recover sooner.
However, what surprised Lian Yun was that when his divided Mental Power came into contact with Wutai Sword Heart, an extremely powerful force of absorption emerged from the sword heart.
In an instant, it absorbed half of Lian Yun's released Mental Power. Fortunately, its absorption rate was not too fast; otherwise, it might have disrupted Lian Yun's focus.
Lian Yun dedicated himself entirely to utilizing the incoming Mental Power without wasting any of it.
Time passed without him noticing how long it had been until changes began to occur within him.
First of all, although he had absorbed quite a few Black Spirit Coins in the novice village, the Soul Material he obtained remained very limited. Now he had only forged a thousand sword blanks and had completely exhausted his resources.
Then amidst the continuous collisions of hundreds of Sword Intents, a brand new Sword Intent unexpectedly emerged. If Lian Yun had a moment to spare, he would undoubtedly be astonished. However, at present, he did not think much about it; he focused solely on allowing the Sword Intents to continuously absorb and collide with each other.
Outside, since all one thousand sword blanks were refined before being sent out, they differed from the previous three hundred mixed sword blanks. As soon as they emerged, they were practically part of Wu Tai.
Thus, upon their emergence, they could absorb Mental Power immediately. For now, Lian Yun could not fully control all one thousand long swords; therefore, he divided them into five hundred pairs to collide with each other like Sword Intents.
Continuing to forge the Sword Soul in this unconventional manner, time passed without notice. When Lian Yun once again heard the sound of the zither, his mind was irresistibly drawn back, and he found himself once more in the Frosty Cold Realm.
However, the Frosty Cold Realm he saw now was completely different from the one he had first encountered. Before him stood the magnificent Layered Ice Peak, grand and awe-inspiring.
Yet, perhaps it was an illusion; amidst the overwhelming sense of insignificance, he felt as if he were standing atop the peak, surveying all the mountains and looking down upon the entire world.
But as the music grew louder, the Layered Ice Peak began to vanish layer by layer. With its disappearance, snowflakes began to fall in the frosty world.
The transformation was swift; in just a few blinks, the frosty realm had nearly vanished. Lian Yun found himself back at the auction venue. However, before he could take in his surroundings, he heard Qian Duoduo lamenting, "Friend, that was all my possessions! You must remember to return it!"
Lian Yun was quite bewildered when Meng Yixuan explained, "Just now, that woman and Qian the Shopkeeper placed Diamond Spirit Coins in your palm. You absorbed a total of eighty Diamond Spirit Coins from Qian the Shopkeeper."
Lian Yun turned in surprise and saw Meng Yixuan looking even more astonished.
It seemed she hadn't expected that Lian Yun alone could absorb a total of one hundred sixty Diamond Spirit Coins' worth of spiritual energy.
