"Do you know how old I am?" Ditto eximed with anger.
Nash smiled and said, "Judging by your voice, you sound like you''re two or three years old!"
He knew very well that Ditto was much older, at least from the same era as the King of the Sun or Emperor Terra. Hearing her cute voice, however, he could not help but tease her. "I''ll have you know, I''m 25,000 years old this year, so don''t call me a child!"
Twenty-five thousand years old? Nash''s eyes flickered slightly. Her being over 20,000 years old meant that there were eras even before the King of the Sun and Emperor Terra. Nash asked, "Were there many immortals 20,000 years ago?"
"Are you asking about your world or my master''s world?" Ditto asked back.
Nash was taken aback. "You mean, your master isn''t from our world?"
"Yes, I remember in my master''s world, everyone practices immortality. Even the street cleaners there are stronger than you!"
"What the hell?!" Nash could not help but curse. He was currently at the Profound Oriental Realm, and in their world, experts of this realm were only cleaners. That was beyond absurd.
"I''ll go temper my body first," he said. He did not want to ask Ditto any more questions, fearing that his heart might copse.
Being at the Profound Oriental Realm meant that life could be sustained for a thousand years, cing one among the many supreme beings in the cultivation world and making them top-tier experts on Earth.
Nash prided himself on his exceptional talent, having broken through to the Profound Oriental Realm at 24. He considered himself a prodigy, an extraordinary figure. However, Ditto''s words nearly made him give up on cultivation entirely.
A Profound Oriental Realm street cleaner? What kind of terrifying world was that?
Nash stepped into the area
containing thousand-year Mystic Ice. Before the thousand-year Mystic Ice could freeze him, he used the power wrapped around the century-old Mystic Ice within him
elne
and covered himself with twoyers
ofice, each a different color.
The nine energy spirals began to operate. Nash slowly started to absorb and adapt to the terrifying thousand-year Mystic Ice. The thousand-year Mystic Ice was ten times colder than the century-old Mystic Ice.
Inmon knowledge, the lowest temperature was -273°C, known as absolute zero. However, the coldness of Mystic Ice surpassedmon understanding.
Century-old Mystic Ice was -500°C, thousand-year Mystic Ice was -5000°C, ten-thousand-year Mystic Ice was -50,000°C, and million-year Mystic Ice was an astonishing -500,000°C.
Such temperatures were beyond theprehension of ordinary people and could only be encountered by cultivators. Moreover, even ordinary cultivators were unable to handle it.
Take, for example, Euria''s ice
elemental ability. The ice she conjured was only around -100°C. Delh, a second-generation ice Esper, could only create ice as cold as -200°C. Even if they were to evolve into third-generation Espers, they would still only be able to interact with ice at absolute zero.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Anything surpassing absolute zero was beyond their reach, even if they were third-generation Espers.
Time passed swiftly. After three
days and nights of tempering, Nash
finally adapted to the temperature of thousand-year Mystic Ice. He opened his eyes. Raising his hand slowly, an ever-changing snow lotus
made from ice appeared in his palm.
With a thought, he transformed the snow lotus into a clear water droplet.
"Ditto, do I have to traverse the entire ice field to enter the third step?" Each moment of body tempering was an endless ordeal, and Nash felt as if he had reached his limit. "No, there''s an exit in the ten-thousand-year Mystic Ice region!"
"Then should I still go there?" Nash asked again weakly.
"You should be able to temper your body to the Golden Bones and Body stage with the ten-thousand-year Mystic Ice. Are you sure you want to give up?
"What about your indomitable will? I thought ''retreat'' wasn''t a word that existed in your dictionary, Nash?" Ditto mocked sarcastically.
