Immortal Only Accepts Female Disciples

Chapter 231: Rich Get Richer (II)

The steel furred gorilla's attribute was physical defense. Once its ability was activated, it was an impenetrable walking meat shield. The snowstorm did barely anything. The steel fur protected its insides while it turned into a giant walking snowball.

"Grrr I will definitely beat your ass later!" Kong growled.

When it arrived at where it thought the center of the storm was, there was no sight of the snow monkey anywhere. It kicked the snow in annoyance.

"Are you playing games with me? Sun! Come out!" It yelled.

There was no response except for the swirling wind and snow. In fact, the storm seemed to increase in intensity. Everything became darker and it became hard to see.

"That's it!" The gorilla finally lost its temper.

A huge surge of spiritual energy gathered in its right fist. The snow that had collected on its body was blasted away completely. It then let out a full-throated roar and punched at the ground.

"Steel Punch!"

Boom!

The entire mountain shook.

The gorilla's entire arm sank into the ground which was completely shattered. A massive crater appeared all around and all the snow that had fallen disintegrated into the air. Sunlight showed back up for a brief moment as the shockwave forcibly parted the clouds.

Despite all the visible damage, this was only a fleeting moment. The clouds and ice-cold snow returned and the sun was blocked out once again.

The fist attack was powerful and would certainly have knocked the snow monkey silly if it landed. But it didn't. The snow monkey was no longer alive so it could not be hurt.

The gorilla did not know this and threw out several more punches to no effect. It was strong but its intelligence low. It did not realize something was seriously wrong until it started to feel chilling cold penetrate its steel fur and enter its body.

The snow monkey's original power would not have been able to do this. It had a natural affinity for snow and ice but its understanding of the Dao was merely from bestial instinct. No, there was another power influencing the snow domain. In fact, there were two additional powers.

The ice wolf was currently joined with Chen Mo and added its blue ice spiritual energy into the mix. But this wasn't all. Chen Wentian had allowed the ice wolf to study Winter's Snow Dance, the ice arts position of Summer and Winter's Eternal Sutra. Although it understood barely anything, its innate talent for ice was fearsome and it made measurable improvements in a short time.

In terms of talent, beasts were undeniable and almost peerless. Humans could not compete against beasts in natural-born talent. Humans made up for it through wisdom and understanding of Dao. They dug deep into the laws of the world that tied everything together sought out the true truths.

This knowledge was passed down in secret arts which allowed humans to fight evenly with beasts. What would happen if beasts could learn human arts or some other secret art? Naturally, it would result in an extremely powerful beast!

The ice wolf was nowhere near that stage. It was a dumb little pup that had merely started the journey. The extreme ice and yin focus of Winter's Snow Dance suited it well and improved its abilities by at least one-fold.

Thus, the snowstorm that pressed down on General Kong was not something that a single Spirit Lord could produce. It was the result of combining three immortal ice powers. The ice intent behind the domain was now at an extremely high level and it was far beyond what the gorilla could handle.

Icy energy seeped through its defenses unabated. There wasn't anything it could do against it.

"Get away from me get away!" Kong yelled.

It finally had enough and tried to run. It took off into the air but Chen Mo followed with the snow domain. The gorilla's vision was still blocked in the air but now it also lost all sense of direction and perspective.

Dark billowing snow pressed in from all directions and it was completely confused.

"No" It muttered, shivering helplessly.

Freezing energy was spreading to every corner of its body. It gradually lost strength and focus. Its limbs became slow and heavy. Its mind turned foggy and sleepy.

It tried to stay conscious and fight on but everything was just so cold

The steel-furred gorilla immortal was slowly frozen into a giant ice cube. It took a few minutes but it finally blacked out and fell towards the ground.

Chen Wentian cushioned its fall and returned to the ground. He did not kill the beast yet because he had a plan for it. It was slightly risky but the rewards were great.

He wanted to take over the gorilla soul while it was still alive. He desired the treasure mountain filled with spiritual crystals. It was simply an astonishing amount of wealth. It was something tangible and immediately useful, unlike the fiery depths of the Great Smokey Mountains or the strange tree of the mantis queen.

If he had a living spy there, he was sure he could figure out a way to swindle the martial monkey king. He may even be able to scheme it to death. He wanted the whole thing, the whole mountain. It would finance the growth of Ten Thousand Flower Valley for hundreds of years.

Chen Wentian was able to easily absorb dying souls at the same realm as him without any problems. Absorbing souls after they died was not risky because the souls were at their weakest point, having just lost their lives. It was only risky if he tried to absorb dying souls at a higher realm or a living soul at the same realm.

The danger was that the process of combining souls left the stronger one as the total victor. If Chen Wentian met a stronger soul he could no subjugate, then he would lose instead. His soul realm, the Anatta Soul Nirvana Art, and all other souls he had joined with would all be lost. He, Chen Wentian, would no longer exist and he would merely be strands of memory and personality for the stronger soul to consume.

He considered everything and felt good about the steel-furred gorilla. First, the beast wasn't that smart and did not put up a good fight. He would have been way more apprehensive had the beast not been so pitifully bad. Second, he had a trump card against beasts. The Blue Dragon's divine beast aura would be able to suppress it given enough time.

He would never try this with an equal human cultivator no matter the condition because it was infinitely more dangerous. The chances would not be much better than fifty-fifty. With the gorilla, the chance of success was more than ninety-nine percent.

Chen Wentain was not afraid to take risks. Risks were part of cultivation and seeking immortality. However, gambling with his life was not something he did lightly. He always tried to make sure that the odds were well in his favor. It was the way that the rich got richer and he followed it as a way of life.

"Alright, let's begin." He muttered.

He touched a smoky finger to the beast's forehead and their souls connected
