Transcending Limits - 92 Spring's Nectar!

Chasing after Sheng Tian with her Illusory Snow Dance, Leng Yue Yan didn’t seem to realise the change in her own behaviour from the irresponsive cold woman to a lively cold girl.

She still didn’t like the fact that both her first and second kiss were without her consent. Yet, she could also not do anything about it.

The first one was Sheng Tian’s fault, but the second one…was it fully his fault?

Even the first kiss, if not for her awful timing, they would have never kissed on their lips.

Though she knew these things, the Ice Goddess, didn’t even consider them for a second before tossing all the responsibility onto Sheng Tian’s head.

However, somewhere deep in her heart, she realised that she couldn’t bring herself to kill him for his actions, which if done by others would have killed them countless times.

Though she was not sure of what she felt towards him, she knew his existence was truly unique in her life. No one could replace his position, whether in scolding her, teasing her or angering her, or even inspiring and changing her.

This Young Man who looked so devilishly handsome and of same age as her, gave her a feeling unlike any other.

He was extremely smart, had a spirit full of courage and dare, possessed pride he never showed, yet is radiated from the way he conducts himself.

In fact, Leng Yue Yan was certain that Sheng Tian was not someone who would follow rules and traditions, he played by his own rules but he does so with unbending pride.

It could be seen from the way he declared that he would pursue and make her his woman

In the Mythical World, Any male, be strong or weak, charismatic or shy, would never say such words to a Cold Beauty! Even more so to the pinnacle of all cold beauties—The Ice Goddess!

The silence broke as Leng Yue Yan reached Sheng Tian and hacked her sword at him.

Sheng Tian dodged her attacks nimbly with a playful smile and smirked “Tsk. As expected, a beautiful swordplay by an even more beautiful woman.”

“You!” Not knowing how to deal with this Shameless and lawless rogue, Leng Yue Yan snorted and looked at the Nest high above.

Sheng Tian’s expression instantly turned from playful to extreme calm, shocking the already accustomed Leng Yue Yan to no end.

How could a person change his mood so fast? Earlier he was not acting playful, he was truly being playful. In the blink of an eye, he is incomparably serious.

Such a control….

Unknowingly, her thoughts were attracted towards him, until his words brought her back.

“Good grief. We found a treasure Tove, only that it is inside a Tiger’s Mouth .” he smiled.

Turning to her, he flicked his fingers.

A white light flashed as a dull and inconspicuous token soundlessly appeared in her cold palm.

“This….” even with her Cold and Emotionless temperament, Leng Yue Yan couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

The Square Token was only the size of a finger. It was brown in colour, looking like rusted iron. Yet the complex patterns of arrays and the clear “T” symbol made its identity undeniable.

“Yep. This is a teleportation token. It can randomly teleport us to a 200 kilometres. With this, even if we enter an OverLord’s territory, we can escape safely.” he said as if he gave her a normal stone.

“This is too valuable.” Leng Yue Yan shook her head and was about to return the token.

But Sheng Tian’s figure already flashed and disappeared as he ran up the tree, travelling to the nest, leaving a roaring laughter “Valuable? Not important than you.”

“Smooth Talker.” she muttered coldly under her breath but couldn’t deny a weird feeling of joy welling up somewhere inside her hearing his words.

‘I must be crazy to trust his words. He is a shameless rogue.’ she tried to convince herself and followed him as she too climbed up the Imperishable Tree.

Sheng Tian was already hundreds of meters high, but still far away from the gigantic nest.

The higher he climbed, the colder it got. The wind was no longer smooth and cold, and had long since turned into bone piercing frosty gales.

Facing such hurdle, even Sky Realm Warriors would back down. Yet, Sheng Tian didn’t pay attention to it and ran upwards the tree.

With his Mythical Dragon Physique and Abnormal Cultivation, he didn’t even try.

On the other hand, Leng Yue Yan also didn’t face any problem climbing up. In fact,the colder it got, the faster she was.

Heavenly Ice Physique is not for show. The owner of the Physique has a terrifying affinity towards Ice.

Leng Yue Yan, rightfully hailed as the Ice Goddess was the most worthy of her title. Soon, she caught up with Sheng Tian, and they reached the Nest.

They jumped and landed just outside the nest and stood on the edge of the branch.

Sheng Tian’s eyes widened.

The nest was made of ancient wood, with each straw of the nest being as thick as a normal tree’s trunk.

The stunning part was neither the glowing interior of the green nest nor the suffocatingly dense profound energy, but the viscous blue liquid that emitted boundless vitality.

“Spring Nectar!” the shaky ice cold voice of Leng Yue Yan sounded by his ear, bringing him back to reality.

“Yes. We’ve stuck it big this time.” a wide smile formed on his face.

The Nectar of Spring is said to be originated from the Vitality of countless beings.

To produce a single drop, a billion lives of common people or a hundred thousand cultivators of the Sky Realm have to be killed.

And not just that, there is a very special process and requirement to create the Nectar of Spring!

Else, the Previous Emperor of the Red Star Continent would have never died from lack of vitality!

At that time, the Imperial Family turned the whole continent up and down to find a single drop of Spring Nectar.

Even the Four Forbidden Lands were not spared from the Search, OverLords were dispatched to all corners of the Land, the Imperial Army started a crusade to search each and every corner of the accessible land.

In the end, disappointment was all that remained.

This became a bed time tale for the commoners of the continent while the nobles and elites of the continent realised the importance and rarity of the Spring Nectar.

However, it only remained in the books, as a thing of Legends, never to be experienced.

“One drop can bring a person back to his youth and compensate him the lifespan he lost. Sadly, it works only once.” Leng Yue Yan said, seemingly a bit disappointed by the fact that even the Legendary Nectar couldn’t keep a person young forever.

‘Time is cruel. No beauty has ever survived the onslaught of time and could only wither away.’ she thought of her seemingly non existent future and shook her head.

Who wouldn’t want to maintain their youth forever?

Even more so for women. They cherished their youth even more.

Leng Yue Yan is just entering the Prime of her Life.

Though Cultivators can look much younger than their age, and live longer, in the end, it is only delaying death and old age.

Who has ever waded against the river of time and achieved Eternal Youth and Immortality?

The pursuit of the peak never ceased since the dawn of Life, probably even before ‘Life’ came into existence.

As if he discerned her thoughts, Sheng Tian smiled lightly and patted her head lightly.

“Worrying too much gets you wrinkles, little girl.” he laughed out loud and walked towards the nest.

“Who are you calling a little girl?” her ice cold voice was filled with killing intent, bringing a wry smile to Sheng Tian.

‘Did I just step onto a land mine?’ he thought and turned around, showing a serious expression

“Spring’s Nectar seems to be protected by a special array. Breaking it….would be difficult.

Indeed, right after he spoke, Leng Yue Yan’s attention was drawn to the glistening green liquid.

At first glance, there is nothing wrong with the small pool of liquid.

However, how is it possible for such a natural treasure to have no protection?

Only upon closer inspection could one realise that a terrifying killing array was hidden under the seemingly harmless pool.

In fact, when she carefully checked the Nest, Leng Yue Yan’s breath halted for a moment.

This nest is a Formation??!!!

A Formation is fundamentally different from an Array!

An array is drawn with liquid until they dry. The structure of an array has definite patterns. These patterns follow the Laws of the Dao. Clearly, this is a way of comprehending the Heavenly Dao.

On the other hand, Formations are made by arranging certain objects with specified properties in a discrete fashion to satisfy the requirements and use the laws of the Dao to one’s own advantage.

Formations are not drawn, they are arranged. They might need different objects of varying grades depending on the formation.

Regardless of an Array or a Formation, both need a high level of expertise and strength to create.

Knowledge is essential as well.

But now Leng Yue Yan discovered that not only was there a hemispherical barrier formed by the Killing array surrounding the pool, the Nest itself was a formation able to isolate the nest’s domain from the rest of the world!

It means that if the owner of the Formation decides to stop the profound energy from entering the Nest, they would have no profound energy flowing into the Nest domain.

“What should we do?” Sheng Tian’s face was expressionless as he stared at the small pool ahead.

Of course, inside, he was not so calm.

“You already have a plan. We will follow it.” Leng Yue Yan said in a cold voice,

His lips curled up as he gave her a thumbs up and said “You’re right. I always have a plan. This array and formation, they are both very dangerous to step into.”

Leng Yue Yan looked into his eyes deeply as her eyes shone with a strange light. His charming silver hair and sky blue pupils were like deep abysses.

His gaze accidentally landed on her lips faintly visible under the smooth veil.

She unconsciously adjusted her veil and looked at him warily.

Sheng Tian lips twitched at her actions.

Did he really look like a molester who would always try to take advantage of her?

‘Hey, it isn’t only my mistake that our lips touched twice! In fact, it is only because you raised your head at the wrong time! Yes, we both are culprits.’ he wanted to say out loud, but looking at her ice cold eyes that showed no gentleness, he decided against it.

Trying to return to the topic, he continued “I have a treasure to stop the Formation from acting, but it can only be used once per day. The array should be our focus. We will try to control the formation manually and use it against the Array.”

His plan sounded risky.

They didn’t know who the owner of the nest was. If the creature was going to return, they would be in endless trouble.

Then their only way of escape would be the teleportation token.

Leng Yue Yan raised an eyebrow, but nodded nonetheless.

He arrived in front of the nest with a strange disc in his hands. With a casual glance, it looked no different than a golden disc. Only with meticulous observation could one discover countless tiny engravings on its random lines.

He placed the golden disc just before the nest and pressed on its centre.

Instantly, the nest shook with as if there was a fierce storm before it calmed down.

With his spirit sense and discovered the danger the Nest gave him earlier had disappeared.

Sighing deeply, he looked at the golden disc with gratitude.

This is one of the nine inheritances he received in the Qin Ancestral Grounds—Formation stopper.

Though it could only be used once per day, any formation would stop functioning under its influence for a three hours.

This was all the time they had, before the defensive formation reactivates and exterminates them.

“We got only 3 hours.” he rushed in, signalling to Leng Yue Yan.

Leng Yue Yan and Sheng Tian stood three feet away from the green pool.

In the vast nest spanning thousands of meters, their figures appeared tiny and negligible, yet they were after the most precious treasure the nest had!

Looking down at the shiny liquid, Sheng Tian squinted his eyes and spread his spirit sense across the surroundings.

Relying on his extraordinary sense of detecting danger, he figured out the boundaries of the array.

“We can only try to form an opening. But there’s one thing that’s reassuring—the array is made up of Ice Elements. With your Physique, controlling it shouldn’t be a big problem.I’m counting on you.” he gave her a confident smile.

Leng Yue Yan nodded lightly, surprised by the confidence he had in her.

“What if we fail?” she tilted her head, her eyes showed a strange emotions as she hid it from him.

“We win it all or we win nothing. Don’t take pressure. This is not the end.” he assured her with a gentle look.

After circling around the pool for a few minutes, Sheng Tian spread out his profound energy.

With meticulous observation, he found a few things about the array.

It is a Killing Array!

If they accidentally touch it, they would be obliterated without exception.

The highest attack level of the Array seemed to crossing Peak OverLord!

‘It’s not going to be easy.’ Sheng Tian shook his head.

‘I could have gone for the safe route, but we don’t have time.’ he glanced at Leng Yue Yan and caressed the Lotus Tattoo on his arm before his gaze turned resolute.

He looked at the sky blue patterns around the pool. They were forming several shapes—stars, swords, suns, moons and a strange bird before they connected together.

Taking a deep breath, he said “Leng Yue Yan, the array is drawn with Millennium Ice Marrow. It is extreme ice attribute. You should control a part of it and keep it from attacking while I will try to break a part of the array.”

She nodded and In the blink of an eye, Leng Yue Yan’s body glowed with a celestial Ice Blue colour as she placed both her palms on the nest, inches away from the patterns.

The bright patterns of the array dimmed down and Sheng Tian was right beside her, sweat pouring down his forehead.

His palms were just before the patterns as dense profound energy seamlessly entered the blue patterns.

The array was controlled from activation with Leng Yue Yan’s extreme affinity with Ice. The array patterns were slowly broken by Sheng Tian’s unique profound energy.

Any cultivator with same battle strength as him could never achieve the same result in Array breaking.

This is because if one considers the array as an entanglement of many ropes, then each pattern becomes a specific rope.

To break a pattern is to break a rope.

If the profound energy can be considered the knife, the density is its sharpness and amount is the strength.

Thus, the denser the profound energy, the easier it is to break the array pattern.

Given the abnormal density of Sheng Tian’s profound energy, the array patter unexpectedly started to dissolve at a stunning rate.

However, it is still an array at levels of OverLord. And all Sheng Tian is trying to do is to make a small hole in the large array.

Even with Leng Yue Yan’s peerless cooperation, he could only grit his death and give his best.

One hour passed, Sheng Tian’s robes were already soaked with sweat despite the Low temperature of Frozen Hell.

Leng Yue Yan’s face under the veil was also beginning to pale. Her Heavenly Ice Physique didn’t awaken fully and is still in the process. Naturally, the price she had to pay was not low.

The exact point of array they were breaking was getting thinner and thinner, but it didn’t break yet!

Sheng Tian stirred the glowing Primal Seed in his dantian as he went all out attacking with all the profound energy he could release.

If anyone were to see the rate and purity at which he released profound energy, they would be be terrified!

Minute after minute, it was a battle neither wanted to lose.

Sheng Tian’s body grew weaker under the intense pressure and Leng Yue Yan’s strength continued to sap away.

Another hour passed.

“One hour….don’t hold back.”with a hoarse voice, Sheng Tian spoke.

“En.” came her usual cold reply, but her voice softened a lot.

Sheng Tian didn’t wish to injure Leng Yue Yan but neither did he wish to let her grow without hard work.

A Person values something only if he obtains it through effort!

Hence, if possible, he didn’t want to pamper his women too much. He wanted them to be strong, and not become dependent on him for everything.

Perhaps, it is because Leng Yue Yan is exactly such a woman that he was attracted towards her more than anything else.

Leng Yue Yan knew that they only had three hours before the formation re-activates. Then they couldn’t stay in the nest anymore!

She bit her lower lip and intense blue light shone from her whole body as the array patterns suddenly shook and became much more dimmer.

She is betting everything on it! Extreme pain seeped from the depth of her bones, but she didn’t care.

She knew what this treasure meant to her!

This could be exchanged for any thing that could help her breakthrough. This treasure could grant her a special cultivation abode, precious pills and spirit medicine of a Senior Elder level!

More importantly, consuming one drop is enough to give her a breakthrough directly into the Sky Realm as a side benefit.

Since she is in the prime of her life, she wouldn’t be affected by the reverse-aging effect, but her life span would at least double and her vitality would increase by a high level!

The most obvious benefit would be her Physique awakening at a rapid rate!

Sheng Tian coughed out a mouthful of blood due to the intense pressure in his dantian. However, he closed his eyes and continued to attack the pattern of the array.

There is less than an hour. They were lucky that the owner of the nest didn’t arrive yet.

Sheng Tian never told Leng Yue Yan the true reason he was taking such big risks.

Normally, even with the three years deadline he had with Xiao Lian, he would not work so hard.

But he witnessed the confrontation of Xiao Lian and the Divine Ice Goddess.

Though he didn’t show it, he was devastated to find that Xiao Lian only had a year left. If it was like that, then, he would have no way to save her!

How could he find a way when he himself is too weak?

Sheng Tian’s nails dug into his palms as blood flowed unceasingly.

He discovered that Xiao Lian has become truly silent these days. She would not talk and only sleep in the Snow Glazing Lotus.

Even when he tried to start a conversation, it would only last for a moment before she would declare that she was sleepy and fall asleep.

Sheng Tian began to worry about her condition.

Before, no matter how bad the situation was, Xiao Lian was always there to talk to in full honesty. She was like a friend, a teacher, a mentor, and a soul mate.

He guessed her abnormal weakness and sleep must be due to the damage of her soul.

When she first talked about her soul, she said it was injured, but it was only external parts!

But to scare Divine Ice Goddess, she burnt her Source Soul!

What is a Source Soul, Sheng Tian wasn’t sure, but he was certain that it was not something someone should risk.

It caused serious injuries to her soul.

‘It’s my fault. I should have been stronger.’ Sheng Tian thought, a deep force stirred within him.

With a loud band, even larger amounts of profound energy hit the array pattern, which is on the verge of collapse.

“We can do it.” he yelled.

“BAM” “BAM”

With the combined effort, it took them more than thirty minutes to break the array pattern.

“Huff. Huff” Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan both collapsed next to each other, their hands grazing the other’s.

But Sheng Tian had a bad premonition.

Using every bit of energy left in his body, he got up “We should hurry.”

Leng Yue Yan forced her frail body to stand up, but collapsed in the end. After all, she didn’t cultivate her body like Sheng Tian and didn’t have the perverse Mythical Dragon Physique.

Seeing her pitiful state, Sheng Tian quickly held her hand and pulled her closer to him. A crystal bottle appeared in his hand and he quickly held it at above the broken pattern place.

The liquid in the pool churned, and grew turbulent before a drop of liquid raised into the air and dropped into the crystal bottle.

Sheng Tian’s senses started to raise his sense of danger. Looking around vigilantly, he quickly pulled the weak Leng Yue Yan into his embrace and wrapped his arm around her waist.

She didn’t have any strength to resist.

He hurriedly used his profound energy and drop by drop, the viscous Spring’s Nectar was collected into the crystal bottle.

“SCREECH.”

Right when the sixth drop was filled, an ear piercing sound shook the Frozen Hell, as the pink twilight was replaced by icy blue hue light.

The Imperishable Tree shook fiercely.

The roaring profound beasts turned silent.

The wind came to a halt, so did the moment of all creatures.

A vast shadow covered the earth, spanning dozens of kilometres as the surroundings turned frighteningly cold.

Sheng Tian felt a horrifying killing intent locked onto him as the nest turned Dark Red!

“This is crazy.” he muttered, tightly embracing Leng Yue Yan.
