Chapter 90

Yinghuo sized up the ice frost giant bear for a moment, then said with a smile, "Junior brother, you truly have good fortune. This ice frost giant bear is an ancient behemoth. Although it hasn't cultivated any techniques, once it grows up, it can live for several thousand years, and its power can rival that of a high-level immortal, perhaps even surpassing them."

"If it were to obtain a cultivation technique, its achievements could be even greater. I observe that this ice frost giant bear has a certain level of intelligence, and it might already have some degree of wisdom."

As Yinghuo praised with a smile, he transmitted the cultivation method of the Wild Beast Technique to Zhu Ganglie.

Zhu Ganglie thanked his senior brother with a smile. He had summoned this ice frost giant bear with the intention of cultivating it.

"Junior brother, the Wild Beast Technique is a method for demon cultivation. It can stimulate the beast's bloodline, enhance its demonic aura, and train its physical body, allowing it to evolve into a primordial behemoth. This ice frost giant bear is itself an ancient primordial beast. Cultivating the Wild Beast Technique can stabilize its demonic aura, and perhaps it can even become a demon king in the future!"

"This young ice frost giant bear is still very young, and its innate ferocity has not fully developed. Perhaps it can be enlightened and helped to open its wisdom."

After giving the Wild Beast Technique to Zhu Ganglie, Yinghuo continued to praise the ice frost giant bear.

Zhu Ganglie also looked at the young bear. This ancient primordial beast was powerful, but it was extremely difficult to open its wisdom, and it could only act on instinct, constantly fighting and killing. Its innate ferocity also affected its wisdom, making it hard to enlighten and develop intelligence.

Therefore, these ancient behemoths were not as good as the weaker demon races, which could easily open their wisdom and seek cultivation methods. Even if some ancient behemoths occasionally opened their wisdom due to their long lives, it was only equivalent to the intelligence of a few-year-old child.

However, some ancient primordial beasts were born with wisdom and could cultivate, and these were called divine beasts. Their power far exceeded that of ordinary primordial beasts. This was the difference between ancient primordial beasts and divine beasts.

However, if these primordial beasts had great fortune and encountered a deity or a buddha, they could be enlightened and have their wisdom opened, allowing them to cultivate and become divine beasts. However, this enlightenment was extremely draining, and one could only casually enlighten ordinary insects or tigers, making them open their wisdom and understand cultivation techniques.

But enlightening these ancient behemoths was difficult. They were inherently ferocious and stubborn, and opening their wisdom not only drained one's power but also risked angering them, causing their ferocity to affect one's own wisdom, which would be counterproductive.

However, this ice frost giant bear could seek help in times of danger, indicating it had some level of intelligence. Given its young age and less developed ferocity, it could be enlightened and helped to open its wisdom.

Zhu Ganglie then gently stroked the young ice frost giant bear's head, using a few grains of power to guide his spirit into the bear's soul.

This enlightenment required caution. If the bear's ferocity was too strong, he would have to quickly withdraw his power and spirit to avoid damaging his soul and affecting his cultivation.

As his spirit entered, he saw the young ice frost giant bear's life experiences. He learned that the bear was only three months old, and its memories for the past three months were all about hunting and wandering.

Relieved, he selected some of his thoughts and used his power to open the bear's mind, initiating its wisdom.

After doing this, Zhu Ganglie withdrew his hand, and the young bear stood still, its eyes gradually becoming more intelligent.

"In the future, you will be called Ice Frost. This is the Wild Beast Technique. Remember the cultivation method and practice well!"

Zhu Ganglie placed his hand on Ice Frost's head again, transmitting the Wild Beast Technique into its spirit and using his power to guide Ice Frost's soul, helping it to complete one cycle of the Wild Beast Technique.

After enlightening its wisdom and transmitting the technique, Zhu Ganglie put Ice Frost back and began to train the dao soldiers he had collected.

As the Ice Frost Thunder Formation activated, the seventy-two ice bears immediately channeled their power into the formation, creating a massive white bear with a faint yellow hue, indicating its evolution into an earth bear.

As the giant bear formed, Zhu Ganglie felt a powerful force from the formation, rapidly enhancing his own strength. In an instant, he felt his strength reach the third level of the Dan Formation, and he couldn't help but feel pleased. Although his Tower of Sealing Gods could also reach the third level of the Dan Formation, this was real power that he could freely use to perform various techniques.

"Chi!"

Zhu Ganglie's figure flickered, merging with the giant white bear's shadow in the center of the formation. He chanted and raised his hand, releasing a bolt of Ice Frost Divine Thunder.

This Ice Frost Divine Thunder was different from the heavenly thunder. It was a fist-sized white ice ball that, when thrown, could flatten a small mountain and turn a vast area into a frozen wasteland, with immense power.

However, even with the seventy-two ice bears and the Ice Frost Thunder Formation, they could only release three bolts of Ice Frost Divine Thunder before the dao soldiers' strength would be depleted.

After practicing, Zhu Ganglie boarded the Taiyi Golden Scales Boat and headed toward Accumulated Thunder Mountain, where the great demon resided.

It was said that this great demon was a bull demon that had gathered hundreds of thousands of small demons, causing chaos in the region and had already become a significant threat, necessitating suppression.

As Zhu Ganglie flew toward the area, many disciples of the Shenxiao Sect were also heading there, but only a few inner disciples and no core disciples at the Golden Core level. Most were outer disciples who needed to earn merit points to exchange for techniques or magical artifacts.

The great demon would be suppressed by the sect's elders, and they would only observe or help suppress the area.

Zhu Ganglie arrived directly at Accumulated Thunder Mountain, where he saw that the mountain was already surrounded by Shenxiao Sect disciples.

At the four corners were four inner disciples from the four peaks, each commanding a formation of dao soldiers in the sky.

Around them were more outer disciples, some driving weaker dao soldiers and others using magical artifacts, revealing their strength and background.

After scanning the area, Zhu Ganglie entered a golden palace at the mountain's peak to meet his uncle Tianfang.

"Are you Zhu Ganglie of Ice Frost Peak? Not bad. Since you're here, you will suppress the northern side of Accumulated Thunder Mountain and ensure no demon escapes!"

After verifying Zhu Ganglie's token, Tianfang assigned him to the northern side of Accumulated Thunder Mountain.

Zhu Ganglie replied, "I will follow your orders, Uncle!"

Following the order, Zhu Ganglie arrived at the northern side of Accumulated Thunder Mountain, unfolded the Ice Frost Thunder Formation, and the seventy-two dao soldiers formed a roaring white giant bear.

Zhu Ganglie sat in the center of the formation, and the Tower of Sealing Gods lightly transformed into a hundred-zhang size, floating in the center of the formation, casting white light to protect him.

Seeing Zhu Ganglie's formidable presence, the surrounding outer disciples couldn't help but look at him with respect, and some of the defending outer disciples immediately moved closer to Zhu Ganglie.

The more daring ones tried to enter the formation to meet Zhu Ganglie, but he refused to see them, only allowing them to stay under the protection of the Tower of Sealing Gods.

"Moo!"

A day later, a loud mooing sound suddenly echoed from Accumulated Thunder Mountain, shaking the surroundings and causing countless outer disciples to feel dizzy and bleed from their noses.

Facing the mooing sound, Zhu Ganglie pointed, and the Ice Frost Bell oscillated, emitting a deep sound that dispersed the mooing.

The giant bear formed by the Ice Frost Thunder Formation roared fiercely, and the northern defense remained intact.

The inner disciples suppressing the other sides also took action to block the sound.

As they blocked the sound, a massive bull demon appeared at the peak of Accumulated Thunder Mountain, roaring and charging at the golden palace in the sky.

At the same time, ten great demons led countless small demons to attack from all sides, and each side's defenders faced the attacks of two great demons.

Zhu Ganglie scanned the area and saw that these great demons were all at the Golden Core level, so he did not dare to relax. He activated the Ice Frost Thunder Formation, and a bolt of Ice Frost Divine Thunder was generated, directly striking downward.
