'Passion for the Dao? How could this even relate to comprehension? What could having passion possibly add on?' Lin Tu wracked his mind for the answer.
In their cruel and intense society, nearly all who take the Law cultivation path genuinely enjoy it for their own reasons. But this didn't seem special at all.
How can just taking the enjoyment of something enhance one's perception abilities?
Lin Tu wanted to ask, but Lin Xiang suddenly said, "Alright, we're close to Polaris Mountain. Stay alert. There's no time to lapse our focus."
"Ri-right." Lin Tu promptly sober up, nodding with a solemn expression.
After only a few minutes of walking, the duo's gaze was met with an exceedingly beautiful sight.
An enormous mountain, one that pierces right through the skies, was in the duo's vision. Both Lin Tu and Lin Xiang paused to gaze at its high stature.
This enormous mountain was truly soul-stunning to gaze upon. Radiantly bright frosty ice and illuminating glowing fiery lava covered the entirety of the mountain!
Ice and fire combined together rather than opposing each other. It was as if there was some other force at play that kept the ice and fire mountain at an perfect equilibrium.
Several different terrains were littered across the enormous mountain. The higher one looks up, the different mountain peaks all had unique regions of either ice or fire.
Just getting close to this fire and ice mountain would enthrall any cultivator's soul. The mountain's general atmosphere contains particles with two distinct Source Law essence. It filled the air like a fresh summer breeze and cold winter air. Most weaker cultivators wouldn't be able to resist the temptation.
Lin Tu nearly went daze just staring up at the fire and ice mountain.
Lin Xiang casually smiled. 'The Polaris Mountain. It indeed does live up to my previous memories.'
The previous Lin Xiang didn't come here a lot. It wasn't fit for his previous combat prowess. Numerous dangers and opportunities plague the whole of Polaris Mountain.
From what he had studied, there was a rumor about Polaris Mountain. That is, it was either naturally formed by World's Laws or manifested by an unfathomable Divine expert!
At his current cultivation, Lin Xiang couldn't find the validity of either rumor. But such a topic could be explored in the future.
Lin Xiang kept his mind focused, walking towards the Polaris Mountain with great confidence.
Seeing Lin Xiang calmly walk forward jolted Lin Tu out of his slight stupor. He warily followed closely behind.
The duo soon stepped foot into the first layer of the Polaris Mountain. A frozen wonderland was presented to them. Everything was absolutely covered in frosty ice. Nothing was spared. Stepping in here nearly felt like taking a trip to another world.
Slight shivers crawled through Lin Xiang and Lin Tu's bodies. Particles of cold essence pierced through their skin and massively dropped their bodily temperature.
Lin Tu creased his brows. Profound energy revolved throughout his body, suppressing the cold particles.
While Lin Xiang's expression relaxed. His bloodstreams provided a sensation of comfort while in the extreme cold.
Looking around the frozen wonderland, Lin Xiang's eyes glinted. It was time to take his true first steps in this new life!
Lin Xiang calmly told Lin Tu, "Alright, as per usual, we'll split up and search the parameter for any loose beasts. Remember to avoid packs and be careful to sense if any lone beast walking has partners close by."
"Got it." Lin Tu spoke with a focused expression. The matters of Lin Xiang's newfound prowess can be explored later. For now, he needed to hunt down some dangerous beasts!
Taking the right side, Lin Tu cautiously trailed down this path.
Lin Xiang watched until Lin Tu left the range of his vision. Instead of continuing down the left his own path, Lin Xiang only walked several meters before stopping.
He then decided to do something that would horrify many other cultivators. Lin Xiang directly sat right down in this frozen wonderland!
His Soul Sense expanded out. It penetrated right into the atmosphere, causing his Spiritual Sea to perceive the Ice Law essence particles flowing through the air!
Without any fear or hesitation, Lin Xiang boldly decided to directly cultivate the atmosphere of the World's Law.
This would be fine under normal circumstances. But the atmosphere of the Polaris Mountain is a concentrated force. The particles in its air are at a far higher potency than the outside world.
This also wasn't mentioning the fact that dangerous beasts persist even at the outer edge of Polaris Mountain's 1st layer.
Lin Xiang just didn't care about any of that. Moreover, he took it a step forward. His Spiritual Sea had easily perceived not just the sensations of Ice Laws, but of Extreme Ice Law particles!
Extreme Ice Laws couldn't be compared to their regular counterpart. Air itself could be frozen under Extreme Ice Laws. Large regions of space can be frozen and time can be frozen!
The concentrated atmosphere of the Polaris Mountain breeds a far more powerful mutated force of Ice Law essence. Even great geniuses with innately high comprehension wouldn't be able to perceive the Extreme Law sensations.
However, this was all simple for Lin Xiang.
Not only his innate comprehension is already tremendously high because of his previous life's high cultivation base. But also, his Absolute Yin-Yang bloodline enhanced his Spiritual Sea towards any particles that contain either Ice or Fire Law essence!
His own bloodline has an enormously high amount of innate essence particles of the Great Dao, thus allowing his Spiritual Sea to be at an exceedingly high level.
In mere seconds, Lin Xiang's Soul Sense could grasp a portion of Extreme Ice Laws. Without any fear, he pulled Extreme Ice Law essence directly into his body!
Law source essence energy traveled right through Lin Xiang's internal body, fusing into his bloodstream.
Normal cultivation would require cultivators to slowly direct Law source essence energy into their Qi Seas. Once they properly comprehend a portion of the essence energy, it was possible for their souls to suck it in like a vacuum.
However, only a select few would boldly fuse the World's Law source essence energy into their bloodstreams. The potency of such energy would directly shatter normal cultivators' bodies!
Only those with special bloodlines can slowly absorb the world's law source essence energy. This would, in turn, increase the bloodline comprehension of a cultivator.
The higher one's bloodline comprehension is, their cultivation will grow without any bottlenecks!
Of course, directly absorbing the world's law essence energy wasn't an easy feat for special bloodline users. They would need to filter out the destructive particles within essence, which is a snail-crawling process for even the greatest of geniuses.
Once free of destructive particles could a bloodline cultivator safely absorbs the essence energy.
But for Lin Xiang?
He didn't care at all about filtering out destructive particles!
Extreme Ice Law essence continually flowed into his bloodstream without a single moment of rest. Flashes of blindingly blue light illuminated Lin Xiang's entire internal body. Even on the outside, specks of ice could be seen forming on his skin.
Destructive particles nearly emerged from the Extreme Law essence. However, before anything permanent can happen, Lin Xiang's Absolute Yin-Yang bloodline intensely stirred.
All of his bloodstream spewed out lights of icy blue blood energy. The blood energy intensely sucked in every bit of Extreme Ice Law essence!
Under the blood energy of Absolute Yin-Yang, the destructive particles of Extreme Law essence couldn't do anything to Lin Xiang's body. The blood energy could even suppress the force of the World's Law!
A feat completely impossible for even Lin Xiang's unfathomable cultivation in his last life.
Only through the specialty of the Absolute Yin-Yang bloodline was this possible. This was a bloodline that simply couldn't be comprehended by normal means after all.
From Royal Tier to Heavenly Tier and then Divine Tier, the abilities of bloodlines only grew wide. Above them all is the mysterious and unfathomable black grade. The exact grade of the Absolute Yin-Yang bloodline is.
In Lin Xiang's previous life, he heard numerous legends of Divine Tier bloodline. One such bloodline gave a cultivator the power to exterminate cultivators' souls with just a glance of their eyes.
And yet, the black-grade bloodline is above the outrageous Divine Tier bloodline!
The power within Lin Xiang's Absolute Yin-Yang bloodline rapidly increased. Extreme Ice Law essence continued to stimulate his bloodstream, coming rapidly close to awakening an ability hidden deep within it.
At the same time, Lin Xiang's perception of his bloodline gradually enhanced. The essence of Absolute Yin slowly unraveled in his Spiritual Sea.
With the increase of his bloodline comprehension, his Spiritual Sea generated a different kind of magnetic force. It simultaneously pulled in Profound energy and Extreme Ice Law essence into his Qi Sea, enhancing his cultivation base.
...
At this time, with Lin Tu, he took his utmost time in searching through the outer parameter of Polaris Mountain 1st layer.
He didn't even dare to go a few hundred meters in the 1st layer. The danger, even as he's a 4th layer Profound warrior, was far too dangerous.
Truthfully, Lin Tu didn't have much confidence to fight on his own. He would rather scout out a potential beast group for him and Lin Xiang to take down.
The only monstrous beast he was willing to fight would be one of a weaker profound energy intensity than him.
Lin Tu made sure to check all of his corners to not get ambushed. His Spirit Sense covered a plentiful range of 20 meters all around him.
At the same time, Lin Tu reserved his Profound Aura to its limit. Only those at a higher layer would be able to detect him. The same layers wouldn't be able to detect him at all.
These precautions should've meant Lin Tu was safe to travel at the outer edge of the 1st layer.
However, merely five minutes into his scout, his very soul suddenly stirred. A deathly sensation made his Spiritual Sea quiver. His mind went into full alert!
