Chapter 155: Bloodline Tracing, Everyone is a King!

All the way to the tenth level.

That ice-carved parrot once again emitted a clear, pleasant sound—

【Drip~ Detected the challenger's strength as low-rank King Realm coo~】

【The highest level trial that can be undertaken is level 10 coo~】

【Congratulations, you have passed all trials~】

【Please come back to try again after increasing your strength coo~】

Once the Ice Phoenix Clan possessed a certain amount of strength, they would open the Ice Frost Trial.

For each level cleared, one could obtain generous rewards.

At the same time, the number of levels cleared is also a symbol of their strength, and capital for showing off to companions.

It can even be said to be equivalent to a 'diploma' in the human world.

And the Snow God Raven, with the help of the 'official cheat,' passed the tenth-level trial without any battle, easily and smoothly.

The rewards of the Ice Frost Trial Tower are much better than those of the Pyramid Trial.

Just from the first five levels, which are Lord-rank trials, the Snow God Raven obtained many second-rank divine medicines, second-rank minerals, and even the king's essence blood that Chen Mo previously needed greatly.

Starting from level six, it also rewarded third-rank divine medicines and king-rank ice techniques.

Moreover, there were two treasures containing ice origin! One a fist-sized extreme cold dark stone like a diamond, and another a piece of ten-thousand-year unmelting ice exuding a chilling aura.

"Caw!"

The Snow God Raven packed up the extreme cold dark stone and the ten-thousand-year unmelting ice and took them away.

It prepared to return and hand them over to the Lion King.

From the earlier conversation between the Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider and His Majesty, the Snow God Raven knew that His Majesty was currently in the crucial process of transcending the Heaven Disaster Realm and urgently needed treasures containing origin energy.

Although these things are extremely precious, it currently has no use for them.

By the time I prepare to advance to the Heaven Disaster Realm, the Lion King will surely have become even stronger.

At that point, with His Majesty's help, wanting to advance will definitely be easy!

"How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I? The Ice Phoenix Divine Palace linked by the Bronze Gate is very safe, and there are also many treasures!"

The Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider couldn't help but speak to Chen Mo.

With its help, the Snow God Raven obtained generous rewards.

"If you had come earlier, you might have already advanced to the Heaven Disaster Realm."

Chen Mo nodded.

Had I known the rewards of the Ice Frost Trial Tower were this generous, I would have come straight here.

I was still too cautious.

"The resources here are already enough for you to advance to the Heaven Disaster Realm, so why not consider giving up the Undead Path and restarting the Ice Path?"

The Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider continued:

"I tell you, in this world there is no such thing as an unearned gift."

"Whatever one gains must have a cost."

"The undead-path treasures you now obtain may become your shackles in the future."

"On the contrary, helping the Ice Phoenix Lord revive would entail no danger, allowing you to enjoy all resources with a clear conscience."

The Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider's voice was cold and serene, yet looking at the little ice spider atop the Snow God Raven's head, I inexplicably felt a sense of cute contrast.

"Well, the Undead Path is not the proper way."

Chen Mo nodded.

Although the Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider also had its own schemes, overall what it said was not wrong.

Anubis indeed wanted to control oneself through the power of faith.

However, with the help of the Totem Lion, it ended up being freeloaded by oneself instead.

Now that we have the resources of the Ice Frost Tower, I truly no longer need to keep 'eating dirt'!

"That's right!"

The Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider was very satisfied with Chen Mo's answer.

"Now your true form can also come over, and you can bring your sister, spouse, and so on as well."

"After undergoing the Holy Spring Baptism, their physical qualities can all obtain a great increase, and their superior level can also be raised to the limit of the Lord Realm."

"Moreover, with me here, as long as they participate in the Ice Frost Trial, they can all pass the first five levels' trials and obtain rewards."

"If they can advance to the King Realm, they can, like the Snow God Raven, obtain the rewards of the first ten levels."

The Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider spoke.

Having personally witnessed the Ice Frost Dark Raven advance to the King Realm and obtain the Snow God Raven's bloodline, the Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider now figured out where Chen Mo's bloodline came from.

Bloodline Tracing! An extremely ancient and difficult method of advancement.

When one's internal spiritual power reaches its limit, then through a special method, letting that internal spiritual power increase again, thereby stimulating the bloodline's recovery.

The hardest part of Bloodline Tracing is, after reaching the limit, continuing to absorb spiritual power.

It's like trying to keep pouring water into a bottle already full of water! It doesn't know how the lion-like beast manages it, but it must surely require some kind of cost.

This lion-like beast is truly good to its own clan! Chen Mo nodded.

He inexplicably felt that the Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider before him was rather cute.

"Plucking the 'wool' from one's own divine hall, you really are not the slightest bit soft!"

Next, Chen Mo also had the Snow God Raven scout the nearby snow plains to check for any hidden dangers.

After advancing to the King Realm, blizzards could no longer have much effect on the Snow God Raven.

At full speed, the Snow God Raven surveyed all the land within several tens of kilometers around the Ice Frost Trial Tower in about three hours.

On this seemingly boundless snow mountain, even plants were extremely scarce, and living creatures were entirely absent.

After confirming it was safe, Chen Mo had the Snow God Crow wait at the Cold Ice Sacred Spring, then ended his descent.

In the outside world, before the bronze door, the enormous Suanni slowly opened its golden pupils.

Chen Mo did not rush into the Ice Phoenix Divine Temple. Instead, through the threads of faith, he contacted all ice-element High Lord-level creatures whose faith value exceeded 90.

A faith value exceeding 90 meant that these creatures would not betray him even under the threat of death.

Thus, almost at the same time—

Lion Sister Aisha, Lion Mother, the Little Ice Sparrow, Frost Lion Xiongba, the Snow-Treading Fox Leader, the Frost Sheep Leader, and many Leader-level extraordinary creatures of the Great Snow Mountain all heard a majestic voice resonate in their minds—

"All of you, gather at Ice Spider Mountain now. I will take you into the inner world of the Snow Domain."

It had to be said that after acquiring 【Totem Lion】, contacting his followers had become much more convenient.

He could converse directly with his followers across countless spaces.

Nor did he need to worry about lack of signal or whether the other party had seen the message.

Upon hearing Chen Mo's voice, these ice lion followers all rushed toward Ice Spider Mountain at their fastest speed.

Then they saw the majestic Suanni, the Sky-Curtain Ice Spider nearby, and the ancient bronze door that stood open.

These ice lion followers all knew of the inner world's existence. Upon learning they would enter as "pioneers," they felt quite moved.

Chen Mo entered the inner world first, and the other extraordinary creatures followed closely behind.

After entering the inner world, Aisha and the other beasts all appeared extremely excited.

The ice-element spiritual energy here was incredibly abundant.

If they could cultivate here, their growth rate would surely be even faster! Only the Frost Sheep Leader had a thought similar to what Chen Mo once had—

A place with such abundant spiritual energy should be perfect for farming! No wonder His Majesty the Lion King had told it to bring various spiritual plant seeds before entering the inner world!! "Follow me," Chen Mo said calmly.

Amidst a vast blizzard, he led these ice-element extraordinary creatures as they swiftly traversed the snow plains.

Soon, they arrived at the location of the Cold Ice Sacred Spring.

The murmuring Cold Ice Sacred Spring exuded rich spiritual energy. Amidst the scattered stones stood a white crow with snow-white feathers and a handsome, divine appearance.

"Caw!" (Your Majesty!) Upon seeing the Suanni, the white crow spoke respectfully.

"Chirp!?"

Who is this? Looking at the Snow God Crow before it, which radiated an aura of kingship and possessed a handsome, divine appearance, the Ice Sparrow felt somewhat puzzled.

It sensed a familiar aura from this Snow God Crow but could not recall where it had seen it before.

"Lord Ice Sparrow!"

Seeing the long-parted Ice Sparrow, the Snow God Crow appeared quite excited.

Although its strength had now surpassed the Ice Sparrow's, it still subconsciously addressed the other as "Lord."

Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, the Ice Sparrow instantly reacted.

The Cold Ice Crow!?

This was the Cold Ice Crow that had still been following behind it a month ago!?

Wait — you've been following His Majesty and grown way too fast, haven't you!! But the Ice Sparrow wasn't bad either.

After following Chen Mo's "guidance," the Ice Sparrow had returned to Ice Sparrow Mountain and begun its comfortable lie-flat life.

Unexpectedly, after persisting in slacking off for a month, it discovered that it had actually grasped a special ability!

As long as it lay down, it could continuously recover its spiritual energy and simultaneously heal its wounds!

Chen Mo had also kept his promise and given it all the remaining Ice Phoenix Parasol Leaves, which allowed it to revive a portion of its Ice Phoenix bloodline.

Possessing the 【Lie-Flat Lion】 entry, coupled with having revived a portion of its Ice Phoenix bloodline, the Ice Sparrow's current combat power was also quite impressive. What it now lacked was merely an extraordinary level.

"This Cold Ice Sacred Spring can help you temper your bodies and also raise your extraordinary level."

Chen Mo said to the beasts, "Go in!"

Hearing this, Aisha took the lead, entering the Cold Ice Sacred Spring first.

"Roar~"

She had barely entered the sacred spring when she shivered from the cold.

This spring water was simply too cold!

But upon discovering abundant spiritual energy surging into her body, Aisha gritted her teeth and persevered.

Lion Mother, the Snow-Treading Fox Leader, the Frost Sheep Leader, and the other extraordinary creatures also followed suit.

The lowest tier of the Cold Ice Sacred Spring covered roughly over 5,000 square meters, enough to accommodate more than a dozen enormous extraordinary creatures.

"Roar!"

After feeling the bone-chilling cold, Lion Mother immediately wanted to step out of the Cold Ice Sacred Spring.

But Chen Mo glared her back into it.

"Aowoo~"

Lion Mother whimpered with a pitiful, aggrieved expression.

Although she knew these spring waters could raise her strength, Lion Mother felt that increasing her own power was not very meaningful.

As long as her son was powerful, that was enough!

She just wanted to peacefully be a "son-leeching lion."

However, seeing Chen Mo's gaze, she still returned to the Cold Ice Sacred Spring with a "ready to face death" look in her eyes.

Watching Lion Sister and the others gradually raise their extraordinary levels under the nourishment of the Cold Ice Sacred Spring,

Chen Mo walked toward the uppermost pool of the Cold Ice Sacred Spring.

Once they reached the limit of the Lord realm, he could use "Blessing" to help them trace back their bloodlines, thereby advancing to the King realm.

By then, the Ice Lion Kingdom would directly gain over a dozen King-level combat forces! That was a power capable of sweeping across the entire Blue Star! As for Lion Sister Aisha and Frost Lion Xiongba, Chen Mo planned to have them use his essence blood to advance.

It was now at the peak of the King realm, even on the verge of metamorphosing into the Calamity realm, so its essence blood was naturally King-grade essence blood.

Moreover, Chen Mo himself possessed the Suanni bloodline, and his essence blood contained the power of a mythological lifeform. Although Lion Sister Aisha and Xiongba could not inherit all of that power, compared to other bloodlines, their potential, combat strength, and every other aspect were top-tier.

While the Ice Lion followers were "soaking in the ice spring," Chen Mo himself went to the Holy Ice Spring on the highest level.

the Canopy Ice Spider told him that the Holy Ice Spring also had the effect of stimulating the body, thereby accelerating the absorption of ice-type origin power.

Chen Mo first swallowed the Ten-Thousand-Year Unmelting Ice, a trial reward previously obtained from the Frost Nether Crow.

Then he leaped directly into the Holy Ice Spring.

Upon entering, bone-piercing cold invaded his entire body.

For Chen Mo to still feel cold with his current physique—the temperature of this spring was unimaginable!

Immediately after, powerful ice-type origin spiritual energy surged into his body, and the spiritual energy within Chen Mo began to devour and assimilate this ice-type origin power.

Meanwhile, Chen Mo began cultivating the "Suanni Combat Art" in the bone-piercing spring water.

【Martial Dao Ancestor Lion】 self-discipline challenge, initiated!

Time flew by.

Half a day passed before he knew it.

Chen Mo stopped his cultivation.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Unmelting Ice had been completely digested.

By now, he had grown accustomed to the spring's temperature and could barely feel the cold anymore.

The Holy Ice Spring's body-tempering effect on him had also reached its limit. Through 【Observe Lion】, Chen Mo found that his overall combat strength had increased by over 10,000 again.

Now, even a Calamity realm creature renowned for its physical qualities would not surpass it in strength, speed, or physique! True—achieving godhood through the flesh! And the ice-type origin spiritual energy within his body had been converted by approximately 7%.

The conversion speed of the ice-type origin spiritual energy was a bit faster than he had imagined.

At this rate, as long as treasures containing ice-type origin spiritual energy like the Ten-Thousand-Year Unmelting Ice remained in sufficient supply, it would only take one week for him to advance to the Calamity realm! Chen Mo looked down and saw that Lion Sister and the others had all finished their body tempering.

Their physical qualities had improved significantly, and at the same time, their extraordinary levels had nearly all reached the limit of the Lord realm!

At this moment, they were all excited.

There was nothing more satisfying than becoming stronger.

"I will help you break through."

Seeing this, Chen Mo followed the threads of faith and activated Blessing.

The next second, the Snow-Treading Fox, the Frost Sheep Leader, and other ice-type extraordinary creatures all felt the spiritual energy that had already reached its limit within their bodies begin to grow again! Then they experienced a process similar to what the Snow God Crow had gone through before.

Amidst searing pain, they activated bloodline retracement! Various powerful lifeforms flashed through their minds like a passing panorama.

Lion Sister, Lion Mother, Frost Lion Xiongba, and Little Black Panther Luna all received a few drops of Suanni essence blood.

The lifeforms that surfaced in their minds had snow-white, flowing manes, a pair of horns on their heads, and an aura both majestic and mysterious.

They were none other than Chen Mo's own appearance!!

While the Ice Lion followers were advancing, Chen Mo transformed into his undead form and began forging the Netherfire Sword using the Netherfire Forging Method.

The daily self-discipline challenge could not be interrupted! Over the past week, Chen Mo had practiced before the Anubis statue every day and had already mastered the techniques for forging King-grade weapons.

From here on, as long as he kept practicing and improving his proficiency, he would have a chance to forge a King-grade weapon and complete the 【Weapon Master Lion】 self-discipline challenge!
