Chapter 1220

Han Wuxian, Returning to Void Power, Yan Buji. Also maybe "Dao heart"? Not in line. "Dao foundation"? Not.

Han Wuxian, Dao Foundation. Also maybe "Dao Foundation" appears.

Wang Tie. Also maybe "method" not a name.

People (not a named individual).

Wang Tie, Hundred Herbs Valley. Ancient Pill Formula not a name. Purifying Soul Clearing Heart Pill is a pill name. Spirit and soul not a name. Dao heart appears again.

The fire of hope flared up again, but Wang Tie's next words sank everyone's hearts once more.

"Just… the materials needed to refine this pill are all rare heavenly treasures of the world. Among them, the three primary ingredients are virtually unobtainable!" He counted on his fingers, his face grave: "First, we need at least three pieces of 'Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Soul,' which forms in the core of the million-year-old profound ice in the extreme northern frigid lands; it can settle the soul and calm the mind, suppressing inner demons. Second, we need five qian of 'Sun Essence Gold,' the utmost yang and rigid substance, usually found only occasionally in the ninth layer of heavenly gang winds or some pure-yang secret realms; it can cleanse evil influences and burn away impurities. Third, and the most difficult ingredient, we need a branch of 'Soul-Nurturing Wood,' unrestricted by age but must contain vitality. Soul-Nurturing Wood has long vanished, appearing only in ancient legends; it has the wondrous effect of nourishing the soul and restoring the origin of the spirit."

Each of these three items, if produced, would be enough to stir up a bloody storm in the cultivation world; now to gather them all is harder than climbing to heaven.

Xiao Ran, sect, Sword Pavilion. Also "exert all strength of Sword Pavilion".

other leaders, no new names.

Han Wuxian, Yan Nieying will not give us this time.

His gaze swept over the crowd, finally fixing on the distance, his tone resolute: "Tell me where these three things are most likely to appear. I will go get them myself."

no new.

Dao Friend Han.

"Such trifling matters, leave them to us!"

Han Wuxian, Demon-subjugation Alliance. Also core and strongest combat strength not names.

Han Wuxian, Valley Master Wang. Also Ice Heart Pure Spirit Formation. Also deployment not a name.

Valley Master Wang, Wang Tie. Also auxiliary materials not a name.

Wang Tie, Hundred Herbs Valley, various sects. Not a specific name.

Han Wuxian, Valley Master Wang, Qing Lin, Xiao Ran. Also army morale not a name.

"Master!" Qing Lin urged, "Let me go with you!"

"No need, I'll be more convenient acting alone." Han Wuxian refused bluntly, "Guard this place well; wait for my return."

He took the jade slip quickly inscribed by Wang Tie, swept his divine sense over it, and recorded all the information concerning the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Soul, Sun Essence Gold, and Soul-Nurturing Wood.

Without much farewell, Han Wuxian's body surged with chaotic Return to Xu Jie qi, his form gradually blurring; in the next instant he turned into a faint gray stream of light, silently tearing through space and vanishing at the horizon's end.

Han Wuxian, Extreme North bitter cold region (not a name). Ten-thousand-year Ice Soul.

Han Wuxian, Broken Soul Cliff.

Wang Tie took a deep breath, turned to face the crowd, and his voice regained its usual steadiness: "Everyone, the alliance leader has gone to fight for that sliver of hope for us! We cannot slack off any further! Act at once—gather the auxiliary medicines, set up the great formation, drill the battle tactics! When the alliance leader returns, it will be the time for our Demon‑Slaying Alliance to unsheathe our swords against Yan Buji!"

no new.

Firm echoes of agreement rang out once more in the shattered stone forest. Though hope was slim and the road ahead arduous, they had no other choice but to fight with their backs to the wall; and Han Wuxian's solitary, receding figure became their sole belief to sustain them.

Han Wuxian, Chaos Returning to Void Qi. Also Profound Dark Abyss. Also ice plain not a name.

Han Unlimited, Chaos Returning to Void Qi, Profound Dark Abyss, and the icefield (not a name).

The Xuanming Abyss is not a true abyss, but a vast ice basin covered in ten-thousand‑year‑old profound ice. Here the temperature is terrifyingly low; even extending one's divine sense feels a piercing chill, and the flow of time itself seems slow and viscous.

Han Wuxian hovered above the Xuanming Abyss, his chaotic eyes scanning downward. The ice surface was smooth as a mirror, reflecting the gray‑tinged sky, so deep it seemed able to swallow all light. He could sense that beneath this thick ice layer lay extremely pure ice‑attribute energy, yet also a lurking danger.

Ten-thousand-year Ice Soul.

Returning to Void Power, Ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice.

Han Wuxian leapt in, his body plummeting rapidly through the narrow ice cave. The deeper he went, the heavier the cold became, even beginning to erode his protective Return to Xu Jie qi, emitting a faint 'hiss' sound. Around him, the ice was no longer transparent but a deep azure, as if the extreme cold of countless ages had been frozen in place.

After descending an unknown depth, the vista ahead suddenly opened up to reveal a vast subterranean ice cavern. At its center floated several chunks roughly fist‑sized, wholly crystalline and translucent, within which icy‑blue light seemed to circulate on its own. The chill they emitted made the whole cavern's space slightly warp—these were the Ten‑Thousand-Year Ice Soul!

However, just as Han Wuxian was about to harvest it, a sudden anomaly erupted!

no new.

A low, muffled roar came from the depths of the ice cavern, accompanied by a grating sound of shattering ice. A massive beast smashed through the ice wall and burst forth! It resembled a giant lizard, but its entire body was encased in thick azure ice armor, its skull ferocious, exhaling a freezing breath capable of solidifying the primordial spirit, and a pair of cold, merciless vertical pupils locked onto Han Wuxian.

Profound Ice Lizard Dragon? Han Wuxian recognized this guardian demon beast. Next to such a heaven-earth spirit object, there indeed was a mighty sentient being coiled. The aura of this lizard dragon had already reached the initial stage of Unity Dao, and in this extreme cold environment it could exert twelvefold strength.
