Chapter 2099: Chapter 2143: Six Sons Determining Heaven Skill
Jiang Fan this time had disguised himself as an old man well past his sixties.
His hair was gray-white, wrinkles on his forehead like cuts from a blade, his waist and back hunched.
No matter who came, they wouldn’t recognize him.
The Ice Realm Sage was slightly surprised at the sight, then, sensing several auras from outsiders within the Ten Thousand Ice Profound Pool, his gaze grew sharp:
"Is there an enemy of yours in the Ten Thousand Ice Profound Pool?"
"I’ll immediately ask the Great Sage and have him driven out!"
Jiang Fan faintly recalled whose familiar aura that was.
The black‑robed youth from Nanqian!
Jiang Fan’s brows gently furrowed, then slowly smoothed as he said, "Forget it, he doesn’t really count as an enemy, but you can’t call us friendly either."
"If he doesn’t offend me, let him be."
The Ice Realm Sage said no more, cupping his hands. "Then I’ll send Jiang Dao You as far as this."
"Within the icy mountain ahead lies the Ten Thousand Ice Profound Pool. You have the body‑protecting permission of the Great Sage, whose Words are Followed by Law, and can safely proceed to the central Number One Lotus Throne of the ice pool."
"There you’ll have a chance to gain an even greater opportunity."
As he spoke, his eyes were full of unconcealed envy.
Even as a Sage of the Ice Realm, it wasn’t something he could enter just because he wanted to.
Even if he were lucky enough to get in, he could only go to the outer lotus thrones.
As for the central Number One Lotus Throne, that was beyond anything he could even imagine.
Jiang Fan cupped his hands and watched him leave, then kicked off with both feet, relying on his powerful Physique to spring to the summit of the icy mountain.
He looked down with a sweep of his gaze.
Within the mountain lay a boiling ice pool, chunks of shattered ice that held phantom Law Chains were flipping up and down within.
Some among them had actually formed into natural Spiritual Artifact Level Magical Treasures!
Jiang Fan smacked his lips inwardly. "Is the World Embryo of the Ice Realm really this wondrous?"
Thinking back, the World Embryo of the Southern Heavenly Realm was similar, the Spiritual Energy it emitted nurturing an entire world.
As for the World Embryo of Central Earth...
He recalled the corner where the Ancient Saint Divine Stele had fused nine Dragon Balls, and had created a completely new Dragon Ball for him.
Strictly speaking, that Dragon Ball should also be a World Embryo, shouldn’t it?
He didn’t know what heaven‑defying wonders it held.
Just as he was observing, several figures suddenly burst out from the Ten Thousand Ice Profound Pool, fleeing toward the outside of the icy mountain.
Jiang Fan’s heart tightened slightly. Could something have gone wrong in the Ten Thousand Ice Profound Pool?
Without a second thought, he kicked off and sprang away, putting distance between himself and the icy mountain.
At the very instant he just barely got clear—
A deafening howl erupted from within the mountain. Vast, pale ice flames spewed out from within, forming a solidified pillar of ice that pierced straight into the depths of the sky.
Where it passed, the world’s walls were all torn open.
Only after a full ten breaths did the ice flames begin to slowly dissipate, turning into cold air that spread toward all parts of the Ice Realm.
Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted slightly. The might of the icy mountain’s eruption, likely only a Great Sage could remain unscathed.
Luckily, he had reacted quickly. Otherwise, with his Physique not yet at Sage level, he would have turned into ice dregs in a single breath.
"Feng Lingxiao! You almost got us killed!"
An angry roar reverberated outward.
Jiang Fan looked over and saw four Virtuous Realm Level powerhouses of different races glaring at a black‑robed youth.
That person was precisely Feng Lingxiao.
The one speaking was a strange being whose body was roughly humanoid, but who had two faces—front and back.
The front was a man’s face, filled with rage:
"We agreed to join forces to resist the ice flames, but you ran off alone, nearly causing our complete annihilation!"
On the bodies of the few, more or less, their skin showed a crystalline ice pattern.
Even as Sages, they couldn’t recover.
This was the damage from those ice flames.
Feng Lingxiao raised his hand and looked at his palm; his index finger had also been frozen into ice.
Threads of pain made his gaze turn gloomy. He glanced sidelong at the man. "You dare speak to me like that—courting death?"
The male face froze slightly, revealing a look of dread.
He turned his body around, revealing another face at the back of his head—a charming, beautiful woman’s countenance.
She smiled sweetly, cooing, "Marquis Feng, don’t lower yourself to his level."
"That grain of World Embryo dust appeared too suddenly, triggering the eruption of the icy mountain. No one could have foreseen it."
"He’s just worried that with one person missing, we won’t be able to deploy the Six Sons Determining Heaven Skill."
"Without that Great Array, we can’t enter the center of the Ten Thousand Ice Profound Pool."
The other four Virtuous Realm Sages also frowned slightly.
The Six Sons Determining Heaven Skill was a joint technique.
Six people of equal cultivation could, through this skill, gather the power of all six and unleash a blow exceeding their current level.
Just now, they had been deploying the Six Sons Determining Heaven Skill, combining their strength to jointly fend off the ice flames as they advanced toward the center of the ice pool, seeking opportunities of greater value.
Unexpectedly, when they neared the center, a grain of dust shed by the World Embryo rolled up from the bottom of the pool!
It directly triggered the eruption of the ice flames.
Feng Lingxiao abandoned the Great Array on the spot and fled, leaving them behind and thrusting them into danger.
Four of them returned alive, but one Sage reacted half a beat too slow and vanished within the eruption of the icy mountain, body and soul alike annihilated.
Whoo‑la‑la—
Once the enormous Void Rift in the heavens had finished knitting back together, an unexpected Spirit Rain began to fall.
The faces of the several Sages changed slightly.
A Sage has fallen; the heavens mourn.
That Sage hadn’t left behind any Remnant Soul, just died completely like that.
The atmosphere at the scene grew even more heavy. Their gazes toward the icy mountain were now filled with profound reverence.
The charming woman showed a look of helplessness. "What a pity, that grain of World Embryo dust—its value surpasses everything else we’ve seen in this pool."
"Taken to the Sin Realm, it could be exchanged for something very good."
A blazing heat flashed through the eyes of the others.
Dust shed by a World Embryo is a treasure scarce across All Heavens; even with money, it’s hard to buy.
An elderly Human Clan Great Sage with graying hair sighed bitterly. "But the dust is at the center of the Ten Thousand Ice Profound Pool. With just five of us, we can’t deploy the Six Sons Determining Heaven Skill..."
"Eh!"
As he was speaking, the gray‑haired old man suddenly blinked, then lifted his fingers to count:
"One, two... five, six."
"How come there’s one more among us?"
Feng Lingxiao and the three Alien Race Sages immediately swept their gazes around, and only then did they notice that behind them, upon the icy mountain, stood a hunched old man.
"Who are you?" Feng Lingxiao’s brows lifted.
Jiang Fan was slightly surprised.
They’d only just now noticed him!
So it wasn’t only his Divinity Transformation Power that was affected by the cold; the Sages’ perception was greatly impacted as well.
Knowing this, he felt more at ease.
Since the Sages’ strength was also being suppressed, what everyone would be competing in was Physical Power.
His own Physique was close to that of a Sage, and with the Mystic Sky Battle Armor on top of that, he had no need to fear them.
Jiang Fan smiled faintly. "The same as you."
"You all carry on; I’ll head down first."
He retreated to the mouth of the icy mountain, intending to leap into its interior.
They’d already learned that Jiang Fan, like them, had accepted the Ice Realm’s bounty and come to select a fortuitous chance.
The several Sages exchanged glances. The Human Clan Great Sage’s crystal eyes shone brightly. "Dao You, wait!"
"We’d like to invite you to head to the center of the Ten Thousand Ice Profound Pool together with us."
"That way, we can obtain better opportunities."
Before Jiang Fan could agree, Feng Lingxiao snorted coldly. "A mere Divinity Transformation Realm dares to stand with us Sages?"
The two‑faced Alien Race Sage showed the male face, hideous and fierce:
"The Six Sons Determining Heaven Skill is my contribution. It should be up to me to decide who’s allowed to use it, shouldn’t it?"
Feng Lingxiao snorted through his nostrils and, knowing he was in the wrong, said nothing more.
Only the look he cast toward Jiang Fan held undisguised contempt.
The Two‑faced Alien Race Sage turned around, revealing a bewitching, exquisite visage to Jiang Fan, and giggled:
"This Dao You of the Human Clan has such a powerful Physique‑based Dao foundation."
"To stand here in a Divinity Transformation Realm body and not fear the cold of this place—you already can compete with us of the Virtuous Realm."
"Do you dare accompany us on a trip to the center of the ice pool?"
