Chapter 162: A New Self-Discipline Title — [Soft Rice Lion]

"Although I'm not clear on the current state of the Snow Domain. But if nothing unexpected happens, the regions possessing ley line cores are certainly all occupied by creatures at Legendary Realm or above."

"Unclaimed ley line cores practically do not exist."

The Sky Canopy Ice Spider gazed into the Suanni's eyes and said earnestly.

The Snow Domain's spiritual energy concentration was far higher than Blue Star's, and there must surely exist many powerful creatures within it.

Heavenly Disaster, Legendary, or even Totem! "If you want to refine a ley line core and advance to the Legendary Realm, either you wait for the Legendary creature of the original region to die, and compete against a group of peak Heavenly Disaster or even Legendary creatures."

"Or you challenge the Legendary creature of a certain region, driving it out or killing it."

"For you right now, both are far too difficult."

After seeing the Suanni advance to the Heavenly Disaster Realm, the Sky Canopy Ice Spider instead did not want him to take risks.

One could say that the Suanni was now the greatest hope for resurrecting the Ancient Ice Phoenix.

As long as the Suanni cultivated steadily within the Divine Temple, in a dozen or so years he would certainly be able to advance to the Legendary Realm.

Going to the Inner World to collect rule-type treasures at that time would clearly be much safer.

A dozen or so years was, to them, nothing more than a relatively brief span of time.

"Senior, I have confidence."

Chen Mo spoke up.

"After awakening the Suanni bloodline, I gained an ability called Danger Foreknowledge."

Almost all extraordinary creatures would have some premonition of impending danger.

Especially after advancing to King, one's senses would further improve, and one's insight into danger would become extremely keen! When a crisis descended, there would be a premonition in one's heart.

However, for other creatures, only when danger was about to arrive would a faint ominous premonition appear in their hearts.

But Chen Mo's 【Danger Foreknowledge】 worked by thinking about his next course of action in his heart — if there was danger, he would sense it.

"Danger Foreknowledge?"

Hearing this, the Sky Canopy Ice Spider slowly nodded.

"Since you have confidence, then I will not continue to persuade you."

"I can give you a map of the area near the Ice Phoenix Divine Temple. But this is a map of the Snow Domain from ten thousand years ago. After so many long years have passed, I'm not sure what it looks like now."

"Mm."

"Additionally, if you want to leave the Ice Phoenix Divine Temple and head to the Snow Domain, you must go through a transmission array."

"Transmission array?"

The Sky Canopy Ice Spider nodded:

"The Ice Phoenix Divine Temple is, after all, a divine spirit's cultivation ground — a place that ordinary creatures could never reach."

"The Ice Phoenix Divine Temple has been sealed with a barrier cast by Lord Ice Phoenix, and the surrounding area is all endless blizzards. Any creature entering this snowfield would become lost."

"The only way to enter and exit the Divine Temple is the transmission array."

"Moreover, to ensure the Divine Temple's safety, the transmission array would only activate after receiving authorization."

"Where is the transmission array?"

Chen Mo asked.

"Not too far from here. Follow me."

Soon, under the Sky Canopy Ice Spider's guidance, Chen Mo arrived at a snowfield beside the Cold Ice Trial Tower.

This snowfield had only thick white snow, without even a single plant.

"Suanni, attack here!"

The little ice spider pointed at a patch of thick white snow.

"Alright!"

Chen Mo channeled the ice-type spiritual energy within his body, and a giant ice storm over 1km in diameter formed in an instant.

Swept up by the powerful storm, the accumulated snow several dozen meters deep in this area was cleared away entirely.

It revealed a layer of blue, semi-transparent ice surface resembling sapphire.

On the ice surface, ancient and mysterious runes flickered with deep blue light, outlining a circular pattern over a hundred meters in diameter.

"This is the transmission array leading to the Snow Domain. It looks like it can still be used!"

The Sky Canopy Ice Spider saw the intact pattern on the ice surface and breathed a sigh of relief.

These runes were all personally inscribed by Lord Ice Phoenix.

Even after ten thousand years had passed, their function remained unaffected.

"Before officially entering the Snow Domain, let me first help you obtain the Cold Ice Trial Tower's reward!"

The Sky Canopy Ice Spider spoke up.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Ice Spider."

Chen Mo said gratefully.

He could feel that the Sky Canopy Ice Spider was genuinely looking out for him now.

Soon, Chen Mo returned to the Cold Ice Trial Tower, then came to the center of the beast arena.

The parrot-shaped cold ice puppet from before glanced at Chen Mo, a glimmer of light flashing through its blue eyes, and then let out a crisp bird cry—

【Detected that the trial-taker is undergoing the Cold Ice Trial for the second time, coo~】

【The trial-taker's best result is Trial Stage 10~】

【Detected that the trial-taker's extraordinary level has already reached Heavenly Disaster Realm. You may begin the Stage 11 trial challenge.】

【Good luck, coo~】

As soon as the words fell, in the center of the "beast arena" appeared a giant lion puppet constructed from ice crystals, its entire body resembling blue jade. The aura it radiated was impressively at the Heavenly Disaster Realm!

"I never expected that the Ancient Ice Phoenix of the past could actually create a Heavenly Disaster-level puppet."

Chen Mo felt a slight wave of emotion.

It was a pity, though, that these ice puppets could not leave the range of the Ice Trial Tower; otherwise, brought into the real world, they could easily guard a vast territory.

Starting from the 11th trial stage, the ice puppets' strength had already reached the Calamity Realm.

They were different from those ice puppets encountered in the previous trials.

These ice crystal puppets, even after so many years, remained perfectly intact, without a single trace of damage on their bodies.

Especially the ice puppets after the 13th stage.

Their strength had already reached the Calamity Realm high stage or even the Calamity Realm peak!

Even the current Chen Mo did not have the confidence to defeat them one hundred percent.

However, under the Sky Canopy Ice Spider administrator's permissions, Chen Mo did not need to challenge them at all; he could clear the stages directly and obtain the rewards.

Stages 11–15 were all Calamity-level trials, and passing each stage yielded rewards.

In total, Chen Mo harvested two Calamity-level ice-type spells, both recorded on a block of white ice.

One was called 【Frost Heal】, a healing-type spell.

The other was called 【Eternal Winter Guardian】, a defense-type spell.

Besides these, Chen Mo also obtained three Calamity-level treasures.

【Sap of the Ancient Ice Tree】

【Quality: Tier 4 (Calamity-level)】

【Sap from a Calamity-level Ancient Ice Tree, containing rich ice-type origin power, with powerful restorative effects; consuming it can regrow severed limbs.】

【Ice Vein Flower】

【Quality: Tier 4 (Calamity-level)】

【A Tier 4 divine medicine, containing rich ice-type origin power; when consumed by a Calamity Realm creature, it can raise the Transcendent level.】

【Frost Holy Spring Essence】

【Quality: Tier 4 (Calamity-level)】

【The highest-quality Frost Holy Spring, possessing body-tempering effects; direct consumption can raise the Transcendent level.】

These three Calamity-level treasures, even among Calamity-level treasures, were considered relatively precious.

Chen Mo felt that after digesting the origin spiritual power within these three treasures, his strength should be able to rise to the Calamity mid-stage! So over the next few days, apart from completing his daily self-discipline challenge, Chen Mo digested these resources obtained from the Ice Trial Tower.

Finally, on the 30th day of 【Martial Dao Lion】, he fully digested the last treasure, the Ice Vein Flower, converting it into ice-type spiritual power within his body.

Now, the amount of ice-type spiritual power in his body had already exceeded 12,000 strands!

He successfully advanced to the Calamity Realm mid-stage! After advancing, Chen Mo naturally received another wave of panel rewards.

Two 【Self-Discipline Quality Upgrade Cards】 (purple), and one 【Random Title Card】 (purple). The 【Random Title Card】 (purple) could let Chen Mo randomly obtain a Calamity-level self-discipline title without needing to go through a self-discipline challenge! "Very nice!"

From the effect of 【Lord Lion】, one could see the strength of a Calamity-level self-discipline title.

Chen Mo did not hesitate and chose to use it directly.

A dazzling purple light flashed past, and a new title appeared on the self-discipline panel.

【Soft Rice Lion】 (purple)

Title effects:

1. Attraction to the opposite sex greatly increased.

2. After receiving gifts from a member of the opposite sex who is stronger than oneself, one will gain an increase in physical constitution and Transcendent level.

3. Charm greatly increased.

"Soft Rice Lion!?"

The moment he saw this title, Chen Mo was stunned for a moment.

How could there be such a title!?

The first effect alone made Chen Mo feel a little afraid.

Back then, the white-quality title 【Clean Lion】 had already made the other lionesses look at him with somewhat unusual gazes.

One must remember that at the time he was still a cub!

Now the purple-quality 【Soft Rice Lion】 could be called the ultimate enhanced version!

After equipping it, probably any female creature would be attracted to Chen Mo.

What an ultimate succubus lion!

But this title was of no use to him at present! On Blue Star, he was the most powerful creature and had no need to live off a woman at all.

Wait!

If the Sky Canopy Ice Spider were female, 【Soft Rice Lion】 might take effect.

But thinking of the possibly terrifying "consequences," Chen Mo still did not dare to try.

Although after being reborn as a lion, his preferences had changed slightly.

Sometimes when he looked at certain lionesses, he felt they were rather attractive, but with the Sky Canopy Ice Spider... forget it! As for the 【Self-Discipline Quality Card】, Chen Mo used one to upgrade 【Totem Lion】, and kept the other one for now.

Whether in terms of the title's effects or potential, 【Totem Lion】 was the strongest one.

【Totem Lion+】 (purple)

Title effects:

1. Blessing 2. Descent 3. Faith Becoming Divine 4. Wishing Totem 5. Rebirth. After 【Totem Lion】 was upgraded, the original effects of 【Blessing】, 【Descent】, and 【Faith Becoming Divine】 were all enhanced.

In addition, there were two new effects.

【Wishing Totem】

Creatures who devoutly believe in Chen Mo, if they pray and make a wish to him, have a chance of receiving a response, and the wish will be fulfilled.

Of course, the wish is limited to aspects of improving one's own strength.

For example, mastering a certain ability, or breaking through a bottleneck, etc.

This effect can be said to be very powerful.

Without paying any cost, one can let their followers gain improvement.

Furthermore, after a blessing receives a response, these followers' faith naturally becomes more devout, and the increase in strength will make faith power even stronger.

As for the effect of 【Regeneration】, it is very simple and brutal.

That is, as long as the number of followers and faith points reach a certain level, Chen Mo can, after death, rely on faith power to be resurrected!

Although after resurrection, Chen Mo needs to start cultivation again from the Transcendent level, but if resources are sufficient, he can quickly return to his peak.

This is equivalent to directly gaining N extra lives!

"This title is really too strong!"

Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh.

————————

After completing another wave of upgrades, Chen Mo prepares to set out for the Snow Region.

Although the Ice Phoenix Divine Hall also possesses ice-origin spiritual power.

Now, if he stays in the Ice Phoenix Divine Hall step by step, he can also grow to the Calamity Realm.

But it requires a relatively long time.

So Chen Mo still decides to go to the Snow Region.

On one hand, to explore the Snow Region's situation, obtain information about the Regional Lord, and prepare for advancing to Legendary.

On the other hand, to seek opportunities and collect heavenly treasures that contain origin spiritual power.

To shorten the time it takes for himself to reach the peak of the Calamity Realm.

In the Ice Trial Tower, there are actually many treasures of Calamity Realm quality or even higher, but as far as I can see, my clan still has no one capable of advancing to the Calamity Realm.

Chen Mo also cannot obtain it.

After thinking, he decided to still let the Snow God Crow act as the vanguard.

"Crow vanguard!" Chen Mo's current power is too great; even if he deliberately restrains his power, it may still attract the attention of certain beings.

The Snow God Crow is just right.

If I descend, the Crow can erupt with power infinitely close to the Calamity Realm.

Even if encountering Calamity Realm beings, as long as one runs to the location of the teleportation array, absolute safety can be ensured.

After all, only authorized beings can be teleported.

At least running away is definitely not a problem.

Thus, Chen Mo contacted the Snow God Crow through the faith line.

"Crow, I am preparing to go to the Snow Region to explore; I need a vanguard."

"Crow!" (Your Majesty, I am willing to take the lead and charge!)

The Snow God Crow's fighting spirit is high.

Now it has become the King Crow, and it is quite confident in itself.

Moreover, the Snow God Crow's faith points reach 99; it is Chen Mo's true die-hard loyalist, willing to go through fire and water for him.

"Come with me."

Soon, Chen Mo brought the Snow God Crow to the teleportation array's location.

Just as before, the Little Ice Spider lay in the middle of the Snow God Crow's fluffy head.

"I have already opened the permissions, but I need you to input spiritual power to activate."

The Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider drew two spiritual sigils on the teleportation array, then spoke to Chen Mo.

The Little Ice Spider it currently possesses is below Lord level, and its spiritual power is naturally insufficient to open the teleportation array.

"Good."

Chen Mo nodded.

After the Snow God Crow came to the center of the ice teleportation array, it activated the undead form.

Pale soul fire blazed fiercely, and jade-like skeletons emitted fluorescence.

After all, after teleportation, one might encounter danger; the undead form has a stronger survival ability.

Seeing the Snow God Crow ready, he began to inject ice-origin spiritual power into the teleportation array.

Soon, the massive teleportation array burst out with dazzling ice-blue light.

At the same time, the ground underwent violent shaking.

Around, wind and snow gathered, and spiritual power became extremely violent.

The next second, a beam of ice-blue light shot straight to the heavens.

The Snow God Crow's figure has completely disappeared.

Chen Mo descended onto the Snow God Crow at the first moment.

However, what he saw was not another world, but colorful lines and blocks.

It felt as if he had fallen into a gigantic void paint palette, while the Snow God Crow's body was completely uncontrolled, wildly plummeting downward under some suction.

This feeling is as if being captured and devoured by a black hole! (End of chapter)
