Chapter 177: Ice God Relics, Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow
Of course, Gu Han's current Yang Shen realm is only at the most elementary level.
Regarding the six supernatural powers of the Yang Shen—clairvoyance, clairaudience, telepathy, divine movement, knowledge of destiny, and the most crucial, the complete extinction of all defilements—Gu Han has yet to master any of them.
The Yang Shen's ultimate form transcends the limitations of material life, achieving Spiritual autonomy and eternity. Supernatural powers are merely ancillary, while the more crucial goal is the ultimate fruit of cultivating both body and soul.
That is, the transformation from mortal to immortal, achieving a state of eternal life, vision, and freedom.
This is why Gu Han said he was still extremely far from achieving the true Yang Shen realm of perfection.
The path to enlightenment is an inexhaustible longevity, and Gu Han must steadily advance, consolidating each realm.
If he were cultivating the Douluo Divine Dao, this wouldn't be necessary. But if there were a way to become even stronger, even if it took much longer, who would give up?
Gu Han could sense that the Nameless Law was consistently guiding him down a path distinct from the Douluo Divine Path.
The origins of this Nameless Law were truly mysterious, and Gu Han had often speculated that it might be connected to the legendary "Dao."
However, no matter how profound its origins, Gu Han still needed to cultivate and strive. If his mindset wasn't strong enough, and he was instead controlled by power and desire, then even possessing a treasure would be in vain.
The Far North held numerous secret realms, and Gu Han even discovered what appeared to be divine relics, presumably the inheritance of the Ice God.
He wasn't concerned with the deity's status; rather, he was drawn to the vast quantity of Mysterious Ice Marrow.
The quantity was likely enough to propel another Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to the Million-Year Age stage.
"Found it! I was saying there couldn't possibly be only one place in the vast Far North where the Millennium-Year-Old Mysterious Ice Marrow grows."
A graceful smile curved Gu Han's Yang Shen lips.
He unsheathed his Spirit tool and used his Spirit power to stabilize the energy of the Mysterious Ice Marrow, ensuring it wouldn't dissipate after being mined. He then stored it within his Spirit tool.
"That's a lot! I can't even hold it all at once."
Due to the sheer volume of the Mysterious Ice Marrow, his Spirit tool simply couldn't hold it all at once.
But that didn't matter; he could just load it a few more times.
Ignoring the treacherous ruins and the bottomless chasm beyond the Ice God's inheritance, Gu Han's Yang Shen instantly returned to his true form.
Slightly opening his eyes, he saw Glowing Feather, the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai, and the Spirit forms of the two Ice and Snow Emperors gathered together, gazing at him expectantly.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" the Ice Emperor spoke first.
Glowing Feather, interrupted, didn't bristle at having his line interrupted, but instead repeated, "Yes, any progress?"
Gu Han smiled, unsheathed his Spirit tool, and released the Mysterious Ice Marrow, forming a small mound.
"Oh my god, so many!"
Ice Queen exclaimed in surprise. After living in the Far North for so many years, this was the first time she had seen so many Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow.
"No, your Spiritual power can also bring things back?"
Snow Queen's attention was even more curious.
Upon hearing this, even Glowing Feather Douluo reacted and blinked.
"Yes, how can your Spiritual power bring things back?"
He had originally thought that Gu Han's Spiritual power was powerful and had an extremely wide range, but he never expected that he could actually use his Spiritual power to bring things back!
"This is simply unheard of and unseen."
Gu Han smiled and said, "Now you see it, don't you?"
Everyone:
Seeing their faces speechless, Gu Han stopped playing the suspense and, without batting an eye, spun, "When Spiritual power reaches an extremely high level, you can achieve this. I call it the Emergence of the Yang God."
"Emergence of the Yang God?" Glowing Feather tilted his head and grumbled, "What a strange name."
"Never mind. Since you reached this realm first, you have the right to name it."
"It's truly amazing! You're truly special."
Bing Di exclaimed in amazement. She first thought of Xue Di's words, then of the mysterious book within her Spiritual world.
It seemed they could truly rely on this young man to break the shackles that prevented Spirit beasts from becoming gods.
"Great! These are definitely enough for me to break through the 200,000-year mark."
At this point, Xiao Bai hadn't yet reached the ten-thousand-year mark of becoming a 200,000-year-old beast. He was still at the 100,000-year level, but the 200,000-year mark wasn't far off.
With this Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow, it could definitely reach the 200,000-year mark.
"Well, I'll leave these to you." Gu Han nodded slightly, then glanced at Glowing Feather, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and continued, "Senior Glowing Feather, don't worry. There's more out there. I didn't take it all at once. Wait a moment."
With that, Gu Han's Yang Shen left his body again, and in an instant, he arrived outside the rift valley where the secret realm lay. Ignoring the terrifying cold current emanating from the rift valley and the danger below that could kill a Super Douluo, he reappeared in the ruins.
He already possessed the demeanor of a man who freely roamed the world.
"God created all things, and we should take them in moderation." Gu Han didn't take all the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow. After taking a full Spirit tool, he didn't plan to return.
However, no one could find the ruins anyway, and even if they did, they couldn't enter. It was no different from his warehouse; he could always come back for more when needed.
He had absorbed quite a bit of the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow. While natural treasures could help improve his cultivation, there was a limit. If he only used medicinal herbs to build up his strength, his combat power would not keep up with his realm.
There was also the risk of an imbalance between strength and state of mind.
To put it bluntly, it was a dud.
He didn't care how long it would take if he could ascend on his own.
So, he gave most of his Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow to Glowing Feather Douluo.
Glowing Feather was naturally delighted. He could sense that this item would be of great help to him, perhaps allowing him to advance even further, perhaps even reaching that realm, and allowing his Spirit to evolve again.
Gu Han was actually eager to see if Glowing Feather Douluo was capable of passing the Ice God Trial.
He had a good relationship with him, so he offered to help him whenever he could.
Since the location of Gu Han's ninth Spirit ring had already been determined, his plan had to shift to increasing Xiao Bai's strength, enabling him to counter the Titan Snow Demon King and maintain order in the Far North.
Thus, their journey to the Far North came to an end.
Gu Han and Glowing Feather bid farewell to the Spirit beasts there and flew away.
Because the nameless method had absorbed all the energy sacrificed by the Ice Emperor to create Spirit rings, Gu Han only gained the boost from the Spirit bone, a single level increase, to level 81.
But this didn't matter to Gu Han. He didn't care about these one or two levels at all. According to his current cultivation speed, he would be able to reach the next level soon.
