Chapter 424: Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set

"Did you not notice the words in the Jade Slip? Before the Xianhuan Continent disappeared, the cultivators on the First Immortal Mountain all used the cold energy in this Cold Pool to cultivate, and their cultivation speed was extremely fast!"

Zhang Nuo did not quite understand. He had indeed seen this introduction, but trapped at the bottom of this Cold Pool, what was the use even if one could cultivate? With cold energy that could even freeze Divine Sense, even if one cultivated to the Spirit Severing Stage, it was likely impossible to escape!

"I did see that, but trapped in this place, even if our cultivation improves, I fear it will only mean suffering more!"

Zhang Nuo remained greatly puzzled!

"You are wrong about that!"

Su Haizhen extended a jade finger and swayed it lightly in front of Zhang Nuo, a strange smile appearing on her pretty face once again. This seemingly casual behavior was very natural, making her appear even more charming and moving. Zhang Nuo's heart rippled, and he couldn't help but secretly think: Monster!

He absolutely dared not say such words directly to Su Haizhen. Although the word "monster" was not a derogatory term when applied to this woman, it would always give people a feeling of disrespect.

"As long as our cultivation improves, there will naturally be a way to escape. After all, if our lifespan increases, our opportunities will also increase; perhaps we will think of a way!"

Su Haizhen said with great confidence. Zhang Nuo just took this as words to raise hope in one's heart and did not think much of it! However, he discovered another problem: a blush had appeared on the young girl's face! Recalling what she had said before, there was nothing special, so why would this happen?

Seeing Zhang Nuo staring straight at her, Su Haizhen's face turned even redder! Vaguely, Zhang Nuo seemed to have guessed that there was definitely something on this woman's mind! However, he was not in a hurry to ask, because inside this Small Tripod, there were only the two of them; sooner or later the young girl would say it herself, so why rush at this moment?

Seeing that Zhang Nuo did not ask, Su Haizhen felt a little more at ease, and after calming her mood, she said:

"Let us first test if the Spiritual Qi at the bottom of this Cold Pool is as dense as the legends say!"

Zhang Nuo nodded, then sat down cross-legged! Ever since they entered the Cold Pool, they had been haunted by the shadow of death every moment and had no time to pay attention to the issue of Spiritual Qi! Now that the Four Spirits Square Cauldron had fallen to the bottom of the Cold Pool, although this news was not good news, it was still much better than being on pins and needles all the time!

The two sat down at the same time, silently circulating their own cultivation techniques, and began to feel the surrounding Spiritual Qi. Just as he entered meditation, Zhang Nuo's heart skipped a few beats, because the Spiritual Qi all around was dense to a terrifying degree! They were inside the Four Spirits Square Cauldron; logically, most of the Spiritual Qi should have been blocked out, otherwise the cold energy would have invaded long ago!

At this time, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Small Tripod could not be gathered even with the Nine Dragon Sword Case! Following the source of the Spiritual Qi, Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense followed it, but to his surprise, such dense Spiritual Qi was actually coming from the white frost hanging on the inner wall of the Small Tripod!

As wave after wave of Spiritual Qi rippled through the tripod, those white frosts were slowly disappearing, but as soon as one layer of white frost receded, a new layer would immediately grow! The same white frost would once again transform into Spiritual Qi!

In this cycle, the inside of the Small Tripod was like a space composed of Spiritual Qi; the vast, endless Spiritual Qi could be said to be inexhaustible and unfailing!

When Zhang Nuo opened his eyes, Su Haizhen had already opened hers, and in her pair of bright eyes, uncontrollable excitement surged out like a volcanic eruption!

"It seems that what was recorded in the Jade Slip is not wrong! This cold energy is indeed transformed from pure Spiritual Qi!"

Su Haizhen stood up, and with a slight turn, she looked around the tripod. Now, when she saw those white frosts, she no longer had the feeling of disgust from before; instead, she felt they were all treasures, and priceless treasures at that!

"With such dense Spiritual Qi, I should be able to charge toward the Nascent Soul Late Stage, or even the Great Perfection Stage, within a few decades!"

Zhang Nuo nodded continuously; perhaps this is what is called "misfortune is where blessing lies"! Being forced to hide in the Cold Pool, he unexpectedly obtained such a great opportunity!

"Fairy Su, now that everything mentioned in the Jade Slip has been verified, it is time to say what is on your mind!"

Zhang Nuo's thoughts shifted, recalling the abnormal scene with Su Haizhen earlier, and he finally could not help but ask! Hearing this, the happy expression on Su Haizhen's face suddenly calmed down. She stared blankly at Zhang Nuo for a long time, as if she were considering something in her heart!

"This... that... um! What... oh right!"

After hesitating for a long time, Su Haizhen seemed to have suddenly remembered something.

"In the Jade Slip just now, I saw a record about the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set! Judging from the things described inside, you should have one piece in your hand right now!"

Zhang Nuo was taken aback. It was obvious that what Su Haizhen wanted to say was not this, but something she had thought of on the spot. With a faint smile, Zhang Nuo did not expose her.

"Which piece is it?"

"That small ruler!"

His brows furrowed slightly. Ever since he obtained the 'Measuring Heaven Ruler' in the mysterious cultivator's Cave Abode, Zhang Nuo had always thought that the map inside the ruler was the most precious thing. He did not expect it to be related to some Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set!

With a sudden flip of his hand, Zhang Nuo took out the small ruler.

"Is it this one?"

"Yes, that's it! It is exactly the same as what was drawn in the Jade Slip!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo did not continue to ask about the previous question, Su Haizhen felt relieved. Seeing the 'Measuring Heaven Ruler' appear, she hurriedly took out the Jade Slip recording the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set from a pile of Jade Slips!

Zhang Nuo took the Jade Slip and looked at it carefully, his eyes widening! The Jade Slip detailed the four Magic Treasures of the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set, which were the 'Measuring Heaven Ruler', 'Heaven Splitting Scissors', 'Heaven Opening Axe', and 'Heaven Breaking Hammer'! As for the first two Magic Treasures, he had them in his hands now, and as for the other two, he had actually seen one of them!

'Heaven Breaking Hammer!' When he and Su Haizhen had just left the 'Maze Sea Vortex', they encountered Liu Qingshan and Zhao Yukun, and they also encountered a wave of pirates on the way. The Magic Treasure used by the pirate leader was the 'Heaven Breaking Hammer'!

It was truly unexpected that a mere Golden Core stage pirate leader had the 'Heaven Breaking Hammer' from the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set in his hands. If he had known this earlier, Zhang Nuo would have done whatever it took to seize it!

Zhang Nuo had never seen the 'Heaven Opening Axe' and had never heard of anyone possessing such a treasure. If he wanted to find all four Magic Treasures, it seemed he would have to spend some more effort!

At this time, Zhang Nuo did not know that the 'Heaven Opening Axe' was in the hands of Wei Shang! This clue provided by Su Haizhen was truly very important! According to the content of the record, when all four Magic Treasures were gathered, one could unleash a great divine ability. By comparison, using any one of them alone was simply a waste of a heavenly treasure!

"Look at what this is!"

Zhang Nuo flipped his hand again, and two Five-Colored Giant Swords appeared. Su Haizhen did not understand, and after looking for a long time, she said:

"Aren't these just two swords?"

"Are they?"

With a faint smile, Zhang Nuo deliberately kept her in suspense. With a movement of his Divine Sense, the two giant swords instantly merged into one, transforming into a pair of scissors about a zhang long!

"Heaven Splitting Scissors!"

Seeing these huge scissors, the young girl immediately recalled the appearance of the Magic Treasure drawn in the Jade Slip; it was exactly the same as the large scissors before her!

"I didn't expect you to have two pieces!"

The Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set was one of the few unique supreme treasures for the cultivators on the Xianhuan Continent at that time. How could she not be surprised that Zhang Nuo had two of them?

"It's just a pity that despite having two supreme treasures, I am trapped here!"

This conversation went back and forth and finally returned to the beginning! Su Haizhen remained calm, spoke to Zhang Nuo about other things, and finally sat down quietly! Her eyes were closed, as if she had started to cultivate using the excellent Spiritual Qi here!

Zhang Nuo was speechless! This girl... there are only the two of us here; if you have something to say, just say it, why hide it in your heart! Since the other party refused to speak, he would absolutely not ask a second time!

Sitting down cross-legged as well, Zhang Nuo also entered a state of meditation. He looked like he was cultivating, but in reality, he was talking to Chunyangzi.

"Senior, do you really have no way at all?"

"Let me tell you, kid Zhang! This is the first time I have encountered a situation like this. Even at my peak, I would absolutely not dare to touch such strange cold energy easily!"

Chunyangzi sighed and lamented. It was not easy for Zhang Nuo to grow to this point, and his own Pure Yang Body was about to have hope, but this time they had fallen into the Cold Pool, and he didn't know when they would be able to get out! If things went poorly, Zhang Nuo's whole life, his own life, and Baji Laomo's whole life would all be buried at the bottom of the Cold Pool!

"Senior, you said the 'Purple Lightning Wild Thunder' is produced in the Cold Vein. If I absorb and refine it, will I be able to walk out of here?"

Zhang Nuo asked tentatively, but what Chunyangzi answered him with was a furious scolding!

"Has water entered your brain, kid? Even if that Purple Lightning Wild Thunder exists, it is within the Cold Vein, which is to say it is at the very bottom of this Cold Pool. You can't even get your Divine Sense out of the Four Spirits Square Cauldron right now, and you're talking about refining the 'Purple Lightning Wild Thunder'!"

Thinking about it carefully, what Chunyangzi said was not entirely unreasonable! The plan he had finally thought of had vanished into thin air! Neither of them spoke again, because neither of them had a better way!

Having experienced many calamities, this one was the most troublesome of all! Zhang Nuo went through almost every divine ability he knew, but there was not a single one that could contend with the cold air!

Just as Zhang Nuo was feeling dejected, the Spirit Beast Bag in his bosom suddenly moved! This caused hope to rise in his heart once again; perhaps the Spirit Beast might have a way to leave this place!
