This energy was almost too much for him.
He had to squeeze every bit of space he could find to put all of that energy inside.
Soon, he started stabilizing this energy.
It took him some time. The stabilization process wasn't so hard, but when it was turned into ice, he found another process.
The size of the ice was getting bigger. He had to carefully move the ice around, without affecting his usual Qi.
He could feel his Qi getting colder.
Not only his Qi, but also his body. That was the whole point of practicing this technique.
Nine Continents Frozen Body Technique was divided into six parts. He had only found three parts.
The first part was -Ice Creation.
It was simply creating a structure, mostly an island of ice and snow inside the Dantian.
Once this was completed, one could move into the second stage, where the main meridians were transformed into Ice Veins.
This was a necessary step towards the third stage.
But in this stage, his body could generate a massive amount of ice without being at risk of freezing itself.
Not only that, he could also turn his Qi into ice outside his Dantian. So, once this stage was completed, the first stage could start to fade away.
It could even be completely removed to make more space in the Dantian since his veins could transform his Qi into ice energy.
But it was the third stage where everything changed.
In the third stage, he would need to practice Ice Body. It was a method to use ice veins and freeze every single body part until it could handle the cold.
Just like with his Ice Veins, he could activate and deactivate his ice powers in his body.
But once activated, he wouldn't feel cool and could use ice without Qi.
His body wouldn't permanently change into ice, but it would gain the ability to turn into ice at an important moment.
So, even if he was critically injured, he could just fix the ice and revert his body organs to normal.
He could essentially become impervious to normal attacks.
But at the same time, he would have an inherent weakness against fire, especially high-temperature fire.
Unfortunately, he didn't know what was above them.
He continued creating the ice ring, completely forgetting that he was staying in Elaine's house.
During this time, Elaine and Ken woke every shortly due to hunger. Elaine teased Ken with her naked body before going for a bath.
Since both were in the middle of a cultivation, they didn't want to get involved with sex.
But they couldn't suppress their desires, and Ken joined her in the bath.
Half an hour later, they walked out of the bath, feeling refreshed.
"So, will you tell me more about yourself?"
Elaine raised her eyebrows towards Ken and asked.
She found that Ken had a lot of secrets.
Not mentioning his cultivation speed, his knowledge about dual cultivation, powerful technique, and martial art proved him to be quite a genius.
"Didn't I tell you before?" Ken replied with a smirk.
Elaine pouted and pinched his hand.
"Before, I was just your junior sister. Now, I am your girlfriend. So at least, be considerate towards your girlfriend and tell her your secret."
Ken chuckled and said.
"What if you made me fall in love with you, just to get my secret, and then later betray me?"
"What? You don't trust me?"
Elaine stood up from her chair, in absolute shock and devastation. Her eyes turned as she looked away.
Seeing her reaction, Ken was stunned for a moment.
Only then did he realize that sort of thing happened mostly to create a conflict in the story.
It was normal for women to betray men, but it was also common for women to love a man so deeply that they were willing to share them with others.
This was the truth of cultivation. Unfortunately, he was too affected by those memories that he confused reality with those stories.
"I'm sorry, baby! I'm really sorry!"
Ken immediately dropped his chopsticks, jumped from his chair, and hugged her tightly from behind, apologizing to her.
There was a long silence before Elaine said.
"Just to let you know. I am not that kind of woman."
"I know. I know. I just have some problems."
Only then did Elaine turn around and stare at her new lover with pity and rage.
"Didn't you say you were a virgin before?"
"I am."
Ken instantly realized she was misunderstanding him from her gaze and immediately explained.
"My problem is not like that. I just found out that my memories were sealed by my real mother."
"And, I don't come from a small background."
Hearing that, Elaine finally sighed a breath of relief and hugged him.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Did you find out what happened?"
"It's quite deep. Anyway, I am having a problem accepting her as my mother."
Ken rubbed his head, thinking about this problem.
Seriously, he could be Ken Grant and Ken Tenshi, but being Ken Xin was a pain in the ass.
Especially after knowing he had an extra mother.
"Compared to yours, my life is quite normal."
Elaine pouted.
"You should be glad for that."
Ken glared at her.
"I am." She chuckled and continued.
"To be honest, I never had trouble growing up. As one of the four noble families in Lightning Sword Kingdom, I had everything I wanted."
"But honestly speaking, I don't have that many good memories with anyone else other than my parents."
"Before this, I never understood why. Now that I understand it. Somehow, I don't regret it. Am I wrong to think like this?"
She asked with some confusion and continued.
"I mean, compared to me, Alice and Julia have learned a lot of things. Alice is good at Talisman Making, and Julia is good at Alchemy."
"Their cultivation is also higher than mine."
Hearing that, Ken chuckled and pressed her head on his chest.
"If you keep being jealous of others, you will not get anything from them. You are not wrong."
"If I have to choose between living the best life and working hard, I would choose the former without any hesitation."
"Unfortunately, we all need to grow up. And as we grow up, we will be responsible for other things."
"In this world, people like you can easily get manipulated by others. But compared to some manipulative bitches, I prefer you."
Elaine rolled her eyes at his last remark and said.
"Don't lie to me! You were most excited when I started acting wild."
Ken rubbed the back of his head after being caught and grinned.
"I guess I can't deny that. But, because it's you, even though we have only met for a day, I can share my secrets with you."
"Aww!"
Elaine felt extremely sweet at his words and kissed his lips fiercely.
Soon, they separated and continued with their dinner.
"Seriously, we need to finish this."
Ken spoke with a serious attitude.
"Puchi! I guess we should."
Elaine burst into laughter and continued with their meal.
It was a good meal, and during the time, Elaine talked a lot, and a lot even for him.
She ended up introducing her family lineage, starting from herself, to her mother, to her father, to her brother, to her grandfather, to her grandmother, and to her great-grandparents.
She even went ahead and talked about her uncles and aunts.
To be honest, Ken hadn't dealt with noble families that much. Despite them living in the same kingdom, he didn't like dealing with them.
So, he didn't know a lot about them.
For example, he never thought Rockshell Family would actually have the ability to manage thirty percent of the wealth in the kingdom.
They were considered even richer than the royal family and any other sect. Because of this, she had many suitors.
But she didn't like any of them, and her parents respected her choice.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered a certain man.
William Rockshell!
He was one of a kind.
He brought a massive change in the kingdom, bringing down thousands of criminal activities by introducing more jobs for people.
Only after this conversation with her, he realize William was actually her little brother.
So, the one who helped him do several odd jobs to earn more resources for himself was none other than Elaine's brother.
Because, unlike this life, he didn't have those kinds of resources. He had to struggle for everything.
But because he interfered too much, he was silently taken out by another force.
Although Ken knew the other three families were also behind it, the main perpetrator was still an Evil Sect.
It wasn't Heavenly Puppet Sect. It was called White Moon Sect.
It was the only evil sect in their kingdom, but it was too hidden, so many people didn't know its headquarters was none other than Tianlong Pavilion.
If the Rockshell family controlled wealth, Tianlong Pavilion controlled information.
That was truly the best position for the Evil Sect to watch over the entire kingdom.
