Chapter 437: Seeing the Light of Day Again

Sensing danger at the first moment, Zhang Nuo lightly stomped one foot on the ground. Immediately, a trembling sound came from the entire Small Tripod. Following this vibration, a large amount of purple electric arcs surged out from the outer surface of the Four Spirits Square Cauldron!

The solid ice that had just formed was instantly shattered! However, it was precisely because of this that the Small Tripod's upward speed slowed down by quite a bit!

The next moment, Zhang Nuo held one hand above his head inside the tripod. A large amount of Purple Lightning Wild Thunder surged from the surrounding tripod walls, gathering in his palm within a single breath! Afterward, these electric arcs were continuously compressed, finally turning into a purple electric arc ball as small as a soybean!

Using the same method, Zhang Nuo pressed this electric arc ball onto the ground beneath his feet again! The moment Zhang Nuo finished this action, the refined electric arc ball appeared at the bottom of the Four Spirits Square Cauldron's exterior!

Following an explosive sound, the highly compressed electric arc burst open, once again increasing the Small Tripod's ascent speed significantly! A small tripod left a trail of water in the Cold Pool, soaring straight up!

Because the Purple Lightning Wild Thunder is a derivative of the Cold Vein, it was not afraid of the cold in the pool water at all; this was one of the reasons why Zhang Nuo insisted on obtaining this lightning!

After repeating this several times, Zhang Nuo's expression also underwent some subtle changes. Through the top of the tripod, he still could not see the exit; apart from the large amount of surging water spray, there was nothing else!

Having performed the Thunder Art several times just now, he had already consumed the Spirit Power of almost one Divine Sea. If this continued, the Spiritual Qi in the remaining Divine Seas would also be consumed rapidly!

Just as Zhang Nuo was secretly calculating in his heart how much longer it would take to rush out of the "Nine Nether Cold Pool," a palm gently pressed onto his back. At the same time, a large amount of pure Spiritual Qi was transmitted into his body!

"Quick, take it away! Otherwise, if I make a mistake while using the Thunder Art, it will implicate you!"

Without needing to look back, Zhang Nuo knew it was Su Haizhen transmitting her own Spirit Power to him! However, for the safety of his beloved, he would rather not have this Spiritual Qi!

"We share life and death! If we are to die, let us die together!"

This firm sentence made Zhang Nuo feel a wave of gratitude! It seemed he had not misjudged her this time! For a moment, his passion soared, and he raised his palm again to perform the Thunder Art once more!

Beneath the Four Spirits Square Cauldron, purple electric arcs continuously burst open. Bursts of huge energy fluctuations made the water in the entire Cold Pool become unstable!

Just as Zhang Nuo finished performing the Thunder Art, he suddenly raised his head, for from the direction of the tripod opening, he seemed to have discovered a ray of sunlight shining in! Seeing the sunlight proved that they were not far from the surface of the Cold Pool! However, amidst his surprise, he introspected into the Divine Seas within his body, only to see that the seven Divine Seas were almost empty. If not for Su Haizhen continuously supplying him with Spiritual Qi from behind, his Divine Seas would have long since withered!

"Give it another push! We will be able to rush out immediately!"

Zhang Nuo's excited voice echoed endlessly inside the tripod! Su Haizhen also saw the sunlight shining in through the tripod opening, but she was no better off than Zhang Nuo at this moment! The Spiritual Qi consumed by the Thunder Art was truly too great; even with the two of them joining forces, the Spiritual Qi in their bodies was almost completely exhausted!

Seeing that they were about to escape, Zhang Nuo refused to give up no matter what. Gathering all the remaining Spiritual Qi in his body, he launched the final Thunder Art!

On the First Immortal Mountain, on the surface of the Nine Nether Cold Pool, the pool water suddenly trembled for no reason, and strands of biting cold air emerged from the pool! After another moment, the water in the Cold Pool seemed to be boiling, bubbling with huge water bubbles! However, this phenomenon did not last for a long time!

Following this came monstrous waves. The pool water already contained immense cold energy, and when these pool waters were rolled into mid-air, even the surrounding air was frozen! Under the illumination of the faint sunlight, it shimmered with five-colored light and rainbows of various colors!

"Boom!"

A muffled sound broke the silence of the "Nine Nether Cold Pool"! At the same time, the Four Spirits Square Cauldron leaped out of the pool water and quickly landed on the shore! After rolling a few times, a layer of white frost appeared on the surface of the Small Tripod! This place was still in the vicinity of the Cold Pool, so the cold air still did not let the Small Tripod go!

About two days later, a rainbow light suddenly flew out from the tripod opening. With a 'swish', the brilliance faded, revealing Zhang Nuo's figure. At this time, Zhang Nuo was covered all over by a layer of purple electric arcs. After raising his eyes to glance at his surroundings, he didn't even think before lifting the Four Spirits Square Cauldron with one hand and speeding away into the distance!

After leaving the area of the "Nine Nether Cold Pool," he finally placed the Small Tripod on the ground. At the same time, Su Haizhen also flashed out!

The two looked at each other for a long time, then suddenly burst into a few clear whistles! Having been trapped inside the Four Spirits Square Cauldron for a hundred years, this suppressed mood was finally released!

However, according to Zhang Nuo's memory before entering the Cold Pool, many things had happened on the First Immortal Mountain, especially regarding Lu Yuhou! Thinking of this, both of them quieted down. Because they were in a hurry to rush out of the Cold Pool, they had almost exhausted all the Spiritual Qi in their bodies.

If they encountered Lu Yuhou at such a juncture, they would only be waiting for death! The two sat cross-legged at the same time, absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi!

Just during the process of Zhang Nuo's breathing exercises, he discovered an unexpected thing. Besides the endless Spiritual Qi around him, he also felt the existence of another kind of power! Heaven and Earth Origin Qi!

Having stepped into the Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Perfection realm, his comprehension of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi was faster than other cultivators because the "Pure Underworld Divine Tree" existed in his body, and coupled with practicing three different types of interface techniques simultaneously, this gave him some understanding of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!

Attempting to guide the captured Heaven and Earth Origin Qi into his body, a wonderful feeling he had never experienced before immediately spread throughout his entire body! Since Heaven and Earth Origin Qi is the root of Spiritual Qi, Demonic Qi, and Yin Qi, generally speaking, it was faster than absorbing a single type of Spiritual Qi!

At the same time, using the powerful Heaven and Earth Origin Qi for cultivation would also have twice the result with half the effort!

"Kid Zhang, I didn't expect you to be able to capture Heaven and Earth Origin Qi! I really didn't expect it!"

Chunyangzi was also greatly astonished. As far as he was concerned, when he was in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he could at most only feel the existence of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi; if he wanted to take it for his own use, that was simply impossible!

"I didn't discover it before; perhaps it was because I was at the bottom of the Cold Pool! There was nothing there except cold air!"

Feeling the changes in his body, Zhang Nuo pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Regardless, being able to absorb Heaven and Earth Origin Qi is a good thing! Using Spiritual Qi to drive techniques and using Heaven and Earth Origin Qi to drive techniques are completely different concepts. It seems you have gained another way to win by surprise in the future!"

The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi that Zhang Nuo could sense was very limited and could not be absorbed in large quantities. The only way was to store it in his body without using it first, accumulating it for later use!

The two only meditated for a little over a day. For the sake of safety, they immediately drove their escape light and flew toward the outside of the First Immortal Mountain! Along the way, Zhang Nuo and the others did not even see the shadow of a cultivator, let alone Lu Yuhou!

They had not wanted to encounter cultivators anyway, so this turned out to be exactly what the two wished for. However, they had been trapped in the Nine Nether Cold Pool for many years and knew nothing about the major events that had happened on this First Immortal Mountain, and even less about the battle between the Master and Lu Yuhou, because it triggered too much Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, touched the Laws of Heaven and Earth, summoned the "Demon-Attracting Platform," and took Lu Yuhou to the Demon Realm!

A few days later, when Zhang Nuo and Su Haizhen flew out of the First Immortal Mountain, the two finally let out a long sigh of relief. Finding a hidden place, the two opened up a simple Cave Abode, and then rested inside for a full half a year before daring to come out and travel!

Zhang Nuo was now a Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator, while Su Haizhen was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. If these two joined forces, he believed that even if they encountered two Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, they could easily resolve it!

"Haizhen, come back to Yulong Immortal Mountain with me first! After telling the Pavilion Master everything that happened, I will accompany you back to Chen Jie Xian Shan!"

He used a probing tone to seek her opinion! It was just that Zhang Nuo did not yet know that after he fell into the Cold Pool, Zhou Huizheng had already fallen!

"It doesn't matter where we go back to first! As long as I can be with you, that's enough!"

Like a bird following its mate, Su Haizhen gently hugged one of Zhang Nuo's arms! Being able to come out of such a desperate place as the Nine Nether Cold Pool, Zhang Nuo could be said to have exhausted all his efforts. If not for Zhang Nuo, Su Haizhen would never have been able to leave that ghostly place in her entire life!

"Haha! Having such a cultivation partner, what more could a husband ask for!"

After a long whistle, Zhang Nuo transformed into a streak of stunning rainbow light and flew toward the direction of Yulong Immortal Mountain! Having entered the Nascent Soul Late Stage, his escape speed was much faster than before, but he did not drive it at full power; instead, he deliberately slowed down, enjoying the beautiful scenery below with Su Haizhen while flying!

They had been trapped in the Small Tripod for too long; now, no matter what he saw, he felt it was particularly intimate. Even when he occasionally discovered earth giants on the ground, Zhang Nuo would let out a long exclamation!

If anyone saw the behavior of these two now, they would definitely curse them for being sick! Could it be that these two were seeing earth giants for the first time?

"Haizhen! Do you think Father-in-law will be surprised when we return to Chen Jie Xian Shan?"

"Surprised by what?"

Su Haizhen snuggled up to Zhang Nuo's side and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Look! We have been practicing Dual Cultivation together for a hundred years, how come we haven't produced a baby?"

Upon hearing this sentence, Su Haizhen's pretty face immediately flushed with a rosy glow! She reached out and pinched Zhang Nuo's arm hard!

"Now that we're out, you're starting to be improper!"

Looking at Zhang Nuo, who had a mischievous smile on his face, Su Haizhen was also in a great mood! However, as for whether or not to have a baby, that was up to them to decide! As long as one of the two people practicing Dual Cultivation did not want one, a pregnancy event would absolutely never occur!

Laughter all the way, excitement all the way! Like birds out of a cage, the two flew freely in the high sky!
