The process of splicing caused both Xiang Nan and Old Man Tian Ji to feel incomparably miraculous!
Each of the fifth level Heaven Scryer golems was nearly ten meters tall, but when they put a portion of the parts together with Su Ran, they immediately shrunk! It was as if he possessed vitality and was slowly moving.
By the time the three puppets were all put together, Su Ran was also slightly taller than normal, more like a female warrior wearing heavy armor.
At the same time, a streak of light began to slowly flow on Su Ran's body.
The flowing light passed through Su Ran's meridians and circulated in a circular manner, causing her body to shine as well.
"Cultivation technique inheritance!" Xiang Nan's eyes lit up, "It's that technique inheritance! It's really triggered!"
"Senior Brother has set a good trap." Old Man Tian Ji sighed emotionally, "Not only did I conceal it from the officials and sects of the Iron and Steel Continent, even I was unable to guess it clearly."
Who would have thought that a young girl would actually be a puppet and even be able to join together with the other three puppets to form a complete whole?
Su Ran's own meridians were faulted and incomplete! As for the incomplete meridians on the three puppets, once they were all linked together, they would form a perfect meridian diagram.
As the spiritual energy circulated, the inheritance of cultivation techniques would naturally proceed!
"We're saved!" Xiang Nan grabbed Su Ran's wrist and took out the Dead Sword with his right hand.
"Wait!" Old Man Tian Ji stopped Xiang Nan and pointed outside the ice door, "Let's deal with those threats first."
"But now, the girl's condition has stabilized. She won't die for a while."
"If you accept the inheritance now, I'm afraid you won't be able to move freely for a short period of time. At that time, if the enemy rushes in, we will all die. However, we will be saved in vain."
When Xiang Nan looked out, he saw that the young man was leading sixteen subordinates to fight with the enemy, but he was no match for them at all!
The opponent's realm was too high. In just one minute's battle, seven of the young man's subordinates had already been killed!
"Quickly come back!" Xiang Nan shouted and used one hand to suppress the teleportation array.
The young man was defeated by his opponent and hastily retreated to the teleportation array. He was then teleported back to the Ice Palace.
"No!" Blood flowed from the young man's body as he snorted and gasped, "I can't beat them at all. Their realm is too high."
Outside, the female archer started shooting at the ice gate again.
They had also discovered the teleportation array, but on the one hand, they did not understand how to break it, and on the other hand, they did not have any Void Stones or Space Crystal Stones, so they were unable to pass it in.
Xiang Nan pulled out his saber and prepared to fight.
"You will die if you go!" The young man grabbed Xiang Nan's wrist and said, "They have three ninth level Heaven Scryer experts! That female archer has been sneak attacking from afar, and five of my seven subordinates were shot to death by her!"
"Then what should we do?" Xiang Nan gritted his teeth anxiously.
Old Man Tian Ji said, "The teleportation array can bring in the air from outside, right? It can be used now."
As he spoke, he opened his storage ring and poured out a large amount of spiritual herbs.
Those spirit herbs shone with light, and the lowest grade was also at the fifth grade!
Old Man Tian Ji glanced at the enemies outside the ice gate and said, "Xiang Bei, these spirit herbs are treasures that I have accumulated over the years. I have always been reluctant to use them."
"Today, I will spend all I have to refine three pills for you to increase your strength!"
"Ah!" "How can that be?" Xiang Nan was shocked.
Old Man Tian Ji said, "Now is not the time to pity these spirit herbs! It's important to save your life!"
"Of the three pills I want to refine, one is stronger than the other, and it will take longer."
"I'll refine the first one first. After you swallow it and increase your strength, you'll go out and pester them. Don't let them break through the door."
"Wait for me to refine the second pill before you come in and swallow it. Do you understand?"
As he spoke, Old Man Tian Ji placed down a pill refining furnace. He quickly grabbed a large amount of herbs and threw them into the furnace, starting to quickly refine pills.
Rapid pill refining was a very troublesome problem. Because there wasn't enough time, the medicinal properties of herbs weren't fully utilized. Therefore, more herbs had to be used to fill the gap. This was equivalent to consuming five times more spiritual herbs per pill than under normal conditions!
When the pill flames came together, the air in the entire Ice Palace was instantly drained dry!
Xiang Nan immediately activated the teleportation array and absorbed a steady stream of air from the outside world.
The people outside couldn't see clearly what was happening inside, nor did they know that Xiang Nan was stealing the air, only attacking the Ice Gate blindly.
"That kid from the Southern Domain." Outside the door, the handsome man chuckled and said, "You actually dare to come to our Northern Domain to act wildly. Today, I'll let you taste the bitterness."
"Didn't you guys hide? Let me see how long you've been hiding! Although this Ice Palace is strong, my Fallen Snow Sect's Galaxy Bow is not a vegetarian."
Another person shouted, "That little brat from the Southern Domain, come out and die!"
Xiang Nan looked at them coldly. Although he could only see a few blurry figures, he understood that there were ten of them, and their auras were very strong.
Right now, the only way was to swallow the pills to increase his strength. Absorbing the divine lightning would definitely not work. Once the divine lightning was taken away, the Ice Palace would be gone. Before he could start absorbing it, he would probably be shot to death.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
As for the ice door, it was only a thin layer that the other party had shot at.
They weren't firing continuously either. After the female archer had used up her Astral Qi, she had to spend a lot of time recovering.
"Alright!" Old Man Tian Ji jumped up and struck the top of the furnace with his palm.
The green light illuminated the entire Ice Palace, and a green pill fell into Old Man Tian Ji's hand.
"Xiang Bei!" Old Man Tian Ji handed the pill to Xiang Nan and said, "This is a fifth-grade refined cultivation pill. If you swallow this pill, it will increase your cultivation by three years. Eat it!"
Xiang Nan took the pill and didn't swallow it immediately. Instead, he grabbed the pill and entered the Dream World to eat it with his dream body.
Three years of cultivation might sound scary, but in reality, the level of improvement was very limited. Xiang Nan's level was raised through fortuitous encounters. If he stayed in seclusion for three years, it would not even be enough for him to advance from the second level of Heaven Scryer to the third level of Heaven Scryer.
After the dream body refined the pill, it only rose from the early stage of the sixth stage of Heaven Scryer to the middle stage. After he came out of his dream, he fell into a dream again and swallowed it again. After three consecutive times, he developed drug resistance, and his dream body realm rose to the late stage of the sixth stage of Heaven Scryer.
"What are you doing?" The young man looked at Xiang Nan curiously, "No matter what, I won't swallow it. What are you doing here and there with your eyes closed and open?"
Xiang Nan didn't have time to explain that much to them. He just stuffed the pill into his mouth, ate it with his true body again, and raised his true body realm to the middle and late stage of the Heaven Scryer Second Layer.
A single pill could only be eaten once by others, but in Xiang Nan's place, it could be eaten four times over and over again!
Boom!
An implosion came from Xiang Nan's body.
"This is a phenomenon caused by forcefully raising one's cultivation realm!" Old Man Tian Ji said, "Everyone, don't worry."
"What do you think? What's your cultivation level?" The young man hurriedly asked.
Xiang Nan stood up and said with a huge saber in his hand, "It's already the middle and late stage of the second stage of Heaven Scryer!"
The young man was greatly disappointed, "There's still a long way to go."
"Killing them might not be enough, but it shouldn't be a problem to hold them off." Xiang Nan grabbed the giant saber and directly arrived at the snow mountain from the teleportation array.
"Huh?" The female archer was sitting on the ground resting. She suddenly raised her head and said, "There is a strong fluctuation of Astral Qi!"
Whoosh!
A shadow flashed. Xiang Nan stood at the entrance of the tunnel at the foot of the snow mountain. He carried a huge saber and said, "Aren't you looking for me? I'm coming out."
The handsome man at the ninth level immediately burst into laughter, "Junior Sister, continue to break the door open. Leave this kid to me!"
After saying that, the man flashed out and said, "Wild boy from the Southern Domain, today is the day you die!"
"That depends on how capable you are." Xiang Nan's right arm trembled, and the giant saber hummed.
Dream form descended!
"You?" The handsome man said angrily, "Your realm … the sixth level of Heaven Scryer? Damn it, how did you do it!"
