Chapter 71: The Lava Ferocious Tiger!

Tiantian transformed her heart into a killing intent, her jade fingers brimming with a fierce aura as she plucked the strings, infusing her will into the ancient zither.

Pling! The zither's sound was solemn and deadly!

From the ancient zither, a cold wave swept in all directions. Within a radius of over twenty zhang, not only did the lava crocodiles that had climbed ashore stop moving, but even the lava spiky fish and lava crocodiles in the lava pond floated to the surface, their bellies turning white!

Their bodies were not damaged in the slightest, but their souls were instantly frozen and killed by the power of "White Snow."

Clearly, Tiantian had grasped the essence of form killing the body and heart killing the spirit.

"Good!" In less than two days, Tiantian had elevated "White Snow" to a certain level, and Xu Daoyan, standing beside her, could clearly feel her rapid growth.

The faint flames on the surface of the lava pond were extinguished by this attack. As long as they continued, freezing the entire lava pond would be no problem at all!

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect this girl to break through so quickly. It seems I should bring Daoyan along more often; they seem to be developing a good rapport. Hmm, should I give them a boost? Or should I wait? If I do it now, this girl will probably hate me to death?" On the side, Gao Ziqi saw that Xu Daoyan's combat power had also skyrocketed over these few days, both in martial arts and in the control of techniques. They needed some time to consolidate.

The lava creatures could no longer pose a significant threat to the two. Centered around Tiantian, the power of "White Snow" began to spread!

At the edge of the island, the lava started to solidify and freeze. Xu Daoyan had some free time to eliminate the scattered lava creatures and collect the fire immortal stones condensed in their bodies. The quality of these stones was top-notch!

Although the smallest were the size of fingernails and the largest were the size of fists, they were far superior to high-grade fire immortal stones.

As he cleaned up and collected, he gathered about fifty pounds, a bountiful harvest!

Due to the solidification of the lava pond, the area of the island in the center of the pond expanded from about ten zhang to about twenty zhang.

While playing, Tiantian consolidated her realm. This breakthrough had unknowingly brought her to the realm of Earth Immortal, and her power and lifespan were rapidly increasing!

A person's lifespan is closely related to their mental state, and everyone's living realm is different.

For those who cultivate the path of music, the inner realm is very important. As long as they can grasp it, they will experience a leap in growth!

Five days passed, and Tiantian, who had been playing and performing "White Snow" non-stop, felt very tired. She said to Xu Daoyan, "The island has now expanded to a range of fifty zhang. Don't be complacent. Let me rest, and you keep watch. When I recover, I'll take over for you to rest!"

At that moment, the night sky was clear with a bright moon and sparse stars.

The cold moonlight shone down, and Xu Daoyan could see the fatigue in Tiantian's expression!

His spirit was unusually good. To Tiantian, Xu Daoyan seemed to be tireless. She, on the other hand, needed to rest.

"Alright!" Xu Daoyan stood by Tiantian, guarding her while taking out high-grade fire immortal stones to cultivate.

His perception was extremely sharp. If any lava creatures climbed onto the island, he would detect them immediately. He didn't want to waste time just standing guard.

He used the method of opening the liver to open his heart. When the dense growth aura was stirred, Xu Daoyan felt as if his heart was about to be torn apart. This was very dangerous; if his heart ruptured, he would die. But at that moment, he was fearless and continued to draw the power of the fire immortal stones, making the growth aura even more refined and filling his heart!

After consuming ten pounds of high-grade fire immortal stones, he indeed broke through, and his heart reached the realm of a vortex.

The power of his bloodline increased significantly, and the other four organs were nourished, making them even stronger. The heart, being the leader of the five organs, seemed to be rejoicing!

Xu Daoyan's lifespan had now reached 13,800 years!

After all, breaking through to the vortex realm was just the initial step, and there wouldn't be a significant increase unless he could cultivate it to the great perfection state.

Xu Daoyan then used high-grade gold, water, and earth immortal stones, each consuming about ten pounds, to break through all five organs to the vortex realm!

His lifespan soared, breaking through to 16,200 years, the realm of Middle-grade Human Immortal!

At that moment, he felt his five organs were extremely thirsty, needing a large amount of the Five Elements Immortal Qi!

From a Low-grade Human Immortal to a Middle-grade Human Immortal, Xu Daoyan only took one day to break through, which left Tiantian, who had just finished resting, speechless and exclaiming, "Your improvement is too fast!"

"Uh, I don't know!" Xu Daoyan shrugged, looking innocent. He also felt the speed was a bit too fast.

Gao Ziqi, observing in secret, was amazed: "This method of foundation building is truly extraordinary, accumulating strength and then bursting forth. Xu Daoyan will surely achieve great things in the future. No wonder Su Wei chose him to pass on 'Form Arrow.' Ziqi, if this boy wants to be with Tiantian, it's not impossible!"

Gao Ziqi had discussed this issue with Meng Ziqi before, as it was a matter of their disciple's life, and they were very concerned.

Xiao Yan was from the lineage of Empress Xiao. In terms of background, Xu Daoyan couldn't compare. In terms of cultivation realm, there was a gap due to their different backgrounds and environments. However, in terms of character, Xu Daoyan was more in line with Meng Ziqi and Gao Ziqi's standards!

After resting for a day, Tiantian's various aspects reached their peak. After consolidating, the realm of "White Snow" became even more profound. She sat cross-legged, focusing on playing, accelerating the freezing of the lava pond.

Xu Daoyan had been working hard for the past two days. After Tiantian broke through to the Earth Immortal realm, his role became less significant, and he was happy to relax!

He used high-grade Five Elements Immortal Stones, fusing them into his five organs, consuming at least twenty pounds of high-grade Five Elements Immortal Stones daily to nourish and refine the organs that had reached the vortex realm.

Unconsciously, half a month passed, and Xu Daoyan's high-grade Five Elements Immortal Stones were all consumed. His lifespan had reached 19,500 years, the realm of High-grade Human Immortal.

This left him very surprised: "If I cultivate the vortex realm of the five organs to great perfection, what realm will I break through to?"

Even Xu Daoyan himself didn't know the answer!

In the short span of over twenty days, Gao Ziqi saw that not only had Xu Daoyan improved greatly, but Tiantian had also made significant progress, which made him very pleased.

This was why he didn't want the Sky Seizing Guards to follow. If Tiantian encountered any danger, they might interfere or help, which would undermine the cultivation effect.

The lava pond was now frozen to only about ten zhang in size. Gao Ziqi smiled and said, "It's time to give them a boost, to conclude this cultivation session!"

With a thought, a massive creature emerged from the lava pond, breaking through the ice.

Tiantian reacted quickly, one hand supporting the zither and the other plucking the strings, coldly eyeing the creature.

Xu Daoyan, who had been guarding her, was also startled by the massive creature!

The creature was about five to six zhang tall and ten zhang long, a Lava Ferocious Tiger, with astonishing killing power.

If it attacked, it would be fatal or severely injure!

"Miss Tian, retreat to the back!" Xu Daoyan shouted.

At that moment, the Lava Ferocious Tiger pounced at her. Tiantian, agile and nimble, had already leaped back a hundred zhang by stepping on the frozen lava ground just before the tiger pounced.

However, while Tiantian was still in mid-air, the Lava Ferocious Tiger crouched and pounced again.

Xu Daoyan, wearing his Thunder Armor and holding his Thunder Spear, fully activated it and threw it with all his might. The Thunder Spear turned into a bolt of lightning, piercing through the Lava Ferocious Tiger's chest and emerging from its back, then falling to the ground, the spear shaking violently.

"Roar..."

The Lava Ferocious Tiger was not a pure life form. Even being pierced by the Thunder Spear didn't cause it significant damage.

However, it slowed its pounce, falling to the ground. It locked onto Xu Daoyan and swiped at him with its massive claws, the wind howling!

This was not like the lava crocodiles; the ferocious tiger's strength had at least reached the Earth Immortal realm. Xu Daoyan dared not resist!

He sidestepped and took out the Immortal Feather Bow from his spatial ring.

At that moment, Tiantian plucked the zither string, and a solemn and deadly sound resonated.

In the air, numerous ice swords formed and flew down.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

The Lava Ferocious Tiger's back was pierced by the ice swords.

"Roar!"

A roar echoed, and the scorching lava on its body began to freeze, making its movements less agile.

However, the Lava Ferocious Tiger's body was massive, like molten lava, and it was trying to counteract the power of "White Snow."

Xu Daoyan seized the opportunity and wouldn't let the Lava Ferocious Tiger have a chance to rest. He drew the Immortal Feather Bow, condensing a yellow qi arrow. His spleen had already reached the vortex realm, and he had refined it with high-grade earth immortal stones, making the qi he condensed particularly refined!

Aiming at the front leg joint of the Lava Ferocious Tiger, he shot an arrow.

Bang, crack!

The sound of the Lava Ferocious Tiger's front leg joint breaking could be heard. Xu Daoyan took the opportunity to retreat further and then condensed another white qi arrow, extremely sharp!

Whoosh!

This arrow stirred up a white force and shot at the same joint of the Lava Ferocious Tiger's front leg.

Crack!

The Lava Ferocious Tiger's front leg was severed, greatly reducing its mobility and no longer posing the same level of threat as before!
