Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Advancing to the Late Stage of Golden Core
"Master!"
The Ice Phoenix gazed at Gu Chenfeng in utter shock, its entire body motionless, as if petrified.
Is the young man before her truly her master?
The difference is too great, isn’t it?
The Ice Phoenix simply couldn’t believe it.
Looking at the shocked and incredulous Ice Phoenix, Yao Hun spoke, "Ice Phoenix, he is the ancestor Gu Chenfeng of the Medicine God Hall. The ancestor has returned."
Upon hearing Yao Hun’s words.
The Ice Phoenix shuddered, its cold, beautiful eyes glistening with tears.
"Are you really the master?" the Ice Phoenix asked in a trembling voice, her graceful silhouette slowly descending, as tears finally slipped uncontrollably down her cheeks.
A strong sense of longing surged in her heart.
Yao Hun personally brought Gu Chenfeng here and explained that he is the ancestor of the Medicine God Hall.
The Ice Phoenix was already more than half convinced.
It was just that she couldn’t accept the new appearance of her master all at once.
As her tears fell, they transformed into a small Ice Bead, emitting a faint white glow and exuding a potent Ice Attribute aura.
This is the Phoenix Essence.
Gu Chenfeng grabbed it from a distance, and the Phoenix Essence was drawn into his palm. He smiled faintly and said, "Transformed from tears, known outside as the Phoenix Essence, the most coveted treasure Ice Attribute Cultivators dream of."
The Ice Phoenix wiped her tears, forced to suppress her shock and excitement, and choked, "You... you are really the master?"
Such a terrifying speed of cultivation, apart from her master, the Ice Phoenix couldn’t think of anyone else.
"Ice Phoenix, to suppress your Ice Attribute, in the entire Cultivation Realm, only I can do it," Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly, then activated his Ice Attribute Spiritual Power.
"Ice Phoenix!" The Ice Phoenix trembled.
It had been many years since anyone had called her that, and only the ancient Gu Chenfeng had addressed her this way.
But when the Ice Phoenix sensed Gu Chenfeng’s Ice Attribute Spiritual Power, a look of disbelief appeared on her charming face.
"Middle Stage of Golden Core?" The Ice Phoenix was stunned on the spot, staring at Gu Chenfeng in shock.
But just as she was in shock, an unparalleled Spiritual Power suppression enveloped her entire body, and the Ice Phoenix’s terrifying aura weakened significantly.
"This is the master’s Ice Attribute! Only the master’s Ice Attribute can suppress my Ice Attribute, but how is it the Middle Stage of Golden Core? What is going on?" The Ice Phoenix was greatly shocked, feeling her Spiritual Power being suppressed, and forcibly so.
Gu Chenfeng’s Ice Attribute Power, she would never forget it, she was one hundred percent certain that the young man before her was her master.
But she couldn’t believe that her master had transformed to the Middle Stage of Golden Core.
Hadn’t Gu Chenfeng ascended to the Immortal Realm?
Why return only to become Middle Stage of Golden Core?
What exactly is going on?
The astonished Ice Phoenix couldn’t help but glance at Yao Hun, hoping to get an answer from him.
But Yao Hun merely shook his head slightly, indicating his own lack of understanding.
Gu Chenfeng smiled without speaking, then formed a Sword Point with his right hand, channeling the Devouring Power, frantically consuming the pure immense Ice Attribute Power of the Phoenix Essence.
The Phoenix Essence rapidly diminished in size at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The ancestor’s cultivation has improved so quickly! Unbelievably and extraordinarily fast!" Yao Hun watched Gu Chenfeng in extreme shock, filled with incredulity.
"Such an astonishing speed! Even if one could directly absorb it, such terrifying speed would be impossible! The power of this devour is incredibly frightening!" The Ice Phoenix also widened her beautiful eyes watching Gu Chenfeng.
The Ice Attribute Power within the Phoenix Essence was extremely pure, and Gu Chenfeng didn’t need to refine it; direct absorption could enhance his cultivation.
As Gu Chenfeng madly devoured, he laughed, "I never thought there’d be a day I’d need your power to improve my cultivation."
It wasn’t long before.
Gu Chenfeng’s cultivation soared to the peak of the Middle Stage of Golden Core.
"The ancestor is about to breakthrough!" Yao Hun grew increasingly astonished, his heart surging with mighty waves.
This incredibly terrifying speed of cultivation completely exceeded Yao Hun’s imagination and understanding.
In less than ten minutes.
The Phoenix Essence had disappeared without a trace.
The pure immense Ice Attribute Power had been entirely devoured by Gu Chenfeng.
"Buzz—buzz!"
When the last essence of the Phoenix Essence’s pure Spiritual Power was absorbed, a domineering and overwhelming force suddenly erupted from Gu Chenfeng’s body.
"Late Stage of Golden Core! The ancestor broke through!" Yao Hun was greatly shaken and couldn’t help but exclaim.
"What a terrifying cultivation speed!" The Ice Phoenix also exclaimed, her heart shocked beyond description.
The two looked at Gu Chenfeng as if gazing at a monster.
The speed at which his cultivation improved was terribly frightening.
This was absolutely the most terrifying speed of improvement Yao Hun had ever seen.
In less than ten minutes, Gu Chenfeng had broken through.
How defiant is this?
The supposed top geniuses of those transcendent great powers were mere dregs compared to Gu Chenfeng.
"I didn’t expect to breakthrough so quickly," Gu Chenfeng said, slightly surprised, "The effect of the Devouring Power is beyond my imagination."
In the absence of the need for refinement, the power of the Devouring Force fully displayed its strength.
While restraining his aura, Gu Chenfeng chuckled lightly, "I have cultivated a powerful Cultivation Technique and was reincarnated. I am now a disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect."
"Reincarnated?" Yao Hun was taken aback.
No wonder Gu Chenfeng’s appearance had changed, no wonder he looked like a young chap.
It turned out to be reincarnation.
"Disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect?" Once again, the Ice Phoenix was stunned.
The Ice Phoenix found it unbelievable that the once strongest existence in the Cultivation Realm now willingly humbled himself as a disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect.
Is this still that strongest man of the past?
"Yes." Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "I came this time to take you back with me. I need your power, the little wolf cub I’ve already taken out; you will stay by my side in the future."
On one side, the Soul-Devouring Sect, and on the other, the Penglai Immortal Island, both are colossal entities in the Cultivation Realm, extremely formidable in strength.
The Medicine God Hall alone was insufficient to oppose them.
Whether the Soul-Devouring Sect or Penglai Immortal Island, both powers could possibly attack the Ancient Divine Sect at any time.
To safeguard the Ancient Divine Sect, Gu Chenfeng had no choice but to come for the Ice Phoenix.
"Yes! Master!" The Ice Phoenix’s beautiful eyes glistened with tears, joyful and tearful, she said, "I thought I would never see the master again in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, just when I was about to lose hope, I finally waited until the master returned."
At this moment.
The Ice Phoenix felt extremely happy. After waiting here for so many years, she finally waited for the man she thought about day and night to return.
The Ice Phoenix had waited for so many years, thinking if Gu Chenfeng didn’t return, she could only desperately cultivate to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
However, the difficulty of the ascension path exceeded her imagination.
After desperately cultivating for so many years, she still hadn’t touched the Ascension Realm.
Gu Chenfeng chuckled softly, "Ice Phoenix, you’ve had a hard time these years."
"Not hard at all." The Ice Phoenix shook her head and choked, "Being able to wait for the master to come back makes everything worthwhile."
Gu Chenfeng continued with a smile, "Back then, to quickly enhance my cultivation, I left nothing for you, but this time, I will take you all to ascend to the Immortal Realm together."
